31. The Disappearing Corridor
I was quite conscious at this time. I saw that the end of the flashlight was endless darkness, so why did a wall just pop up? Or is my head too dizzy? I was a little flustered, but not so much that the wall was not separated from the corridor, and I paced backwards with suspicion, at which point I forgot about the corpse behind me, and just wanted to confirm something.
When I walked back, sure enough, there was a wall behind me. I came to my senses in an instant, no, impossible? Could it be that I was hallucinating before? Or am I already hallucinating?
I pinched my face and tried to calm myself down, since this is a wall, then I don't need to care about the corpses, I sat on the ground, slowly remembering the previous scene.
Although I was very dizzy at that time, I knew very well where I had run, but I was too confused halfway through, and I didn't seem to have much of an image, and if I hadn't hit this wall, maybe I would have kept running, and in the end, I would have been unable to avoid the trap or something.
Raise my head and I began to look at this place again, if it is not a problem of hallucination, then the only thing that can be explained is this Yongdao, the structure of the Tang tomb, the most number of Yongdao, the first Yongdao is the place where the drainage channel is connected, the second is the place for people to walk, and it is also the place where the tomb chamber, the ear chamber, and the burial room are connected, so that the wealth of a tomb owner can be determined by the Yongdao indirectly.
This corridor is very ordinary at a glance can not find the mystery at all, the two sides of the plug stone blockage, divided into two layers, each stone 6-7 tons, the stone indirect seam is tight, even a coin can not be plugged.
The corners of the walls on both sides of the road are piled up with a lot of soil formed by the drying of silt. The color of the silt is not the yellowish color of the imagination, but a kind of ochre red, and this color of mud is particularly out of place at first glance. However, compared to the 4-meter-wide tunnel, the middle is roughly paved with some gray stone chips, and most of the stone chips have obvious cracks in the center, and it seems that this place has been visited a lot of times.
I twisted a little dirt with my hands and saw that this was not the soil in the mountain, it was brought in from the outside, and the cracks in these stone chips should have been pressed by the car, which means that the soil here was brought in from the outside? Why? A question popped into my head. I walked over slowly, brushed away the ochre-red dirt with my hands, and a small groove three feet deep and four feet wide immediately came to light underneath the dirt.
"Drains?" I asked. "That's not right!" I immediately rejected my idea, I have just passed the urn city, and according to the size of this mountain and the area of the urn city, I have not officially stepped into the sleeping area of the tomb owner.
There are many designs for a mausoleum, but basically they are all corridors, main rooms, cloisters, side rooms, ear rooms, corner rooms, underworld halls, and halls of enjoyment. These places are like our home houses, where we spend most of our time, and there are very few traps or traps, because no tomb owner wants to put so many things in his home. Then most of the remaining hidden weapons, traps, and traps are distributed in the void passage of the tomb and the urn city, which means that this is not the place that the tomb owner cares about.
So there is no drainage channel in these places, and it is not that there will be nothing special here, I just deduce the possible surname of an event according to the information in my head. As I thought, I turned my head off the course and looked to the side, because somewhere I had sent a human-like shadow.
The light of the flashlight shone directly with the swing of my head, and a black shadow was stretched there.
I stood up in fright, and immediately raised my head, only to see that there was no one in the empty part of the corridor, so where did that shadow come from? But after a while, I calmed down, and the moment I stood up and the flashlight moved a considerable distance, but the shadow still didn't have a trace of movement.
I took a few steps forward, and sure enough, it was a mark on the ground, which is a light source that reflects the light or is a candle to determine the appearance of the pattern, this kind of thing is not simply a light to appear, but to the light and the eyes plus the painted pattern together to present an angle can be seen, and has a unique three-dimensional effect, remember that there is a thing called three-dimensional card on the market, his design concept is the same as this one, from different angles to see different images, and this one is only from a specific angle.
"There's a very smooth material on it." I crouched down to look at the place where the shadows had appeared, but I didn't touch them with my hands. "It is the earliest holographic anti-counterfeiting picture." Gradually, there was such a concept in mind, and they first carved uneven interference stripes in the places of these marks, and coated them with a thin film. The embossed hologram is embossed on the film, and finally a layer of aluminum film is vacuum-evaporated on the film to improve the reflectivity of the film. ”
Corridor? Shadow? A very unique material? This place gave me a different kind of message. A three-dimensional pattern, a holographic anti-counterfeiting picture, requires a lot of high-tech techniques, and such a large-scale engraving requires more than just manpower. I would like to know what kind of message the founders of this tunnel want to convey to us.
I held my chin and thought about something, when I suddenly felt a little strained in my breathing, "Thin air? "One such thought crossed my mind, it turned out that it wanted to suffocate me here? I've concluded that this is a trap and I'm going to die here? It was only then that I thought I was trapped here, food, water, air, all these things that would sustain me for a few days.
A sudden fear strikes, a fear of watching yourself die, slowly enough to drive people crazy.
"What the fuck is this place?" My mind turned wildly, the top of this corridor is arc-shaped, only about 2 meters high, I jumped up and wanted to touch the things on it with my hands, but unfortunately it was just in vain and nothing, and in this way my physical exertion was greater, the concept of the round sky and the place was deeply rooted in ancient times, but was it still like this in the Tang Dynasty? What is the purpose of the round zenith? But in fact, it is a manifestation of the theory of yin and yang.
The ancients believed in yin and yang, so they also dabbled in many aspects of architecture, and the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth built in Yanjing during the Ming and Qing dynasties were built in accordance with the principle of the heaven and the earth. That said, there isn't much to explore about this zenith? In addition, the zenith of the Yongdao is a round arch, which is very in line with the principle of mechanics, the arch end not only has vertical reaction force, but also horizontal thrust, and the arch designed reasonably mainly bears pressure, and bears less bending moment and shear force. And the most realistic thing is that they should know that the vaulted roof can reduce the collapse or cracking of large rocks, even if they don't think so much
So where? Marks on the ground? I stepped on it and nothing happened.
A feeling of despair arises spontaneously, so tired? I said into the empty corridor, and then
I don't know how long it has been, I wandered boredly in this corridor, there are a total of eight marks on the ground, and there are some places on the walls that are attached to the stone wall are not made of stone bricks, but paved with a little mud, and it is two-color soil, this kind of soil is of course in addition to the true color of the soil, I think it is probably because of some water vapor coming in, and the color of the original murals has been diluted and penetrated into the wall, so the color has flowed out with the dilution of the soil on the wall here.
In other words, there were originally murals here, and why are there murals and mud walls here, and this kind of mud has almost become the dividing line of the stone wall, but this dividing line I can't cross.
Mural? Water vapour? So there's a cistern on the other side of this wall? Or is the other side vacuum? If this is the case, the water vapor slowly leaves with the water, and the soil that flows out of the brick surface solidifies on the wall until now. Wait, that is, just for a period of time when there was water on the other side of the wall? Not anymore?
But then again, there used to be murals here, and often for those of us who are descendants, the murals are the best instructions for an ancient tomb, but unfortunately there are no manuals now, otherwise I can still find out what secrets about this Yongdao from there. Thinking about it, I involuntarily touched the wall with my hand. But as soon as I touched the wall with my hand, the blue bricks on the wall that had been touched immediately fell like the flesh of a person who had been splashed with sulfuric acid.
I was stunned and suddenly thought of something in my head but couldn't grasp it, wait, give me a moment, I immediately stopped and banged on my head, "By the way, the corrosion here continues, which means that this place is still corroded by water vapor, which means that the other side of the wall may really be hollow." "I zoomed in a little bit about my thinking, if the mountain seeped into the water from the previous rainstorm, then this corridor is in a relatively large space.
One corridor, two corridors. They are in a hollow space at the same time, so? I suddenly figured it all out.,This is a tunnel that will change.,I must have triggered some mechanism to make my previous corridor disappear.,And this one was changed again.,This should be a cut-in change.,The dirt on both sides of the stone wall blocking the entrance is the best proof.。
"It's amazing." I diverged my thinking in one go, that is, that place is to be used as a point of change of the mechanism, so I don't need stone bricks, I'm afraid of being stuck in the main mechanism by stones? I thought as I ran towards the place where I had come from, and sure enough, this was the wall blocking the way I came.
I can be sure that this is a change of cut-in mechanism, and the tunnel I am in is cut into a tunnel that is blocked on both sides, which is why this happens, and it can also explain why the tunnel is made of two different materials. "Stone bricks, dirt."
So where did I touch the trap? There is only one answer is the floor, I only walked through this place, so I inadvertently walked through the trigger mechanism somewhere, at that time my brain was still in a dizzy state and had no ability to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, so I was completely unconscious of the cut and change of the Yongdao before?
Floor? When I thought of this, I suddenly saw the mark on the ground, yes, it is impossible to smear it here with such a good material for no reason? What must have been done was a guiding effect, preventing the builders who entered and exited the tomb from touching the mechanism.
"Or should we start from the shadows? But there's no solution at all? Eight shadows. Gossip? Laughed, how could it be gossip. Three odds? Liuyi? Nine Palaces? It's so messy that such a match can never be matched. I looked at the figure and shook my head helplessly, how could I find the key point just by inferring from the number of numbers.
I looked at the shadows as I walked, and sure enough, there was a lot to be done in them, and it was no wonder that none of them were imitating the shape of a human being. Shadows appeared on the ground of the corridor every short distance, a total of eight, eight people were living beings, their forms and postures were different, but all of them were curled up like a fetus.
And so many marks are a little out of place in my eyes: "Have you ever seen a fetus that can put its hand out?" I asked myself.
"The difference between each shadow is the position, the position of the finger." Right, that's it? I asked myself questions. It's like a master of decryption, the closer you get, the more excited you are.
It should be divided into north and south. I said in my heart, but how to divide the north and the south? But eight point to the north and the south? Nine Palaces? It's the Nine Palaces! "One Gong Kan (north), two Gong Kun (southwest), three Gong Zhen (east), four Gong Xun (southeast), six Gong Qian (northwest), seven Gong Dui (west), eight Gong Gen (northeast), nine Gong Li (south)." There are these eight directions, but what is the other position?
But that means there are 8 of these corridors in this space? I'm feeling a little tragic in my heart, what should I do? Try them one by one? But the nine palaces should be nine?
I was thinking about it, suddenly I felt the whole corridor change, I quickly jumped away to take a look, sure enough, I don't know how many shadows they stepped on just now, and now the whole corridor began to change again, but this change didn't last long I still wondered? Suddenly, there were traces of water seeping out of me.
"Theirs? Is it a cistern? "I suddenly felt like I was hit by something, time, I want time, or I'm really going to die here, the sense of urgency has never been greater.
"Water, water, water? That's right? In the five palaces (sent to Kun) "Yi Saying Hexagrams", it was written that Kun is also a person, and the earth is also. That place should be the closest to the ground. ”
"But the ground and the water? What does it matter? "By this time my body was already overflowing with water, and it was living water, and there were constant ripples in the water that were rippling behind me. In a few minutes, the tunnel was already full of seawater, and the water was still rising, and now it was waist-high.
At this moment, death seems to seal everything.
"Why doesn't it seep down? I looked at the water below and said, it stands to reason that this is a hollow space, and there are floor tiles under my feet, which is easy to seep water. Is it true that my feet are the ground? So? This is the kun in the five palaces? ”
Female? The last one? So what if I touch the mechanism? The last one? The last one is Kun? My thoughts are flooding in, Nan? An obvious point, Jiugong Li. Then to the northeast, the Eight Palaces. Then there is the west, the seven palaces. The order is really like this, if you start from the place where you come in, then it is from the same nine, from north to south, but unfortunately there is no five houses. The diagram of the nine houses is from the order of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine for a week. A week later, it was still in the center, and it started again. Therefore, the correct method should be Xun, Li, and Kun on the top nine houses. Zhen, Dui, and Kun are in the middle row.
No, no, no, isn't that true? The more thoughts I had in my head, the more chaotic it became, and I began to feel more and more stuffy in my chest, and the water was already overflowing, and I was floating unconsciously, in such words? I can't even press the seal in the ground.
Damn it? I don't want to die yet.
