Chapter 214: The Tomb of King Qi
Zuo Dengfeng pressed down the word "Qi", the facts proved that his judgment was correct, after pressing the word "Qi", the flame in the mouth of the Xuanwu turtle and snake was immediately extinguished, the rumble sounded again, Xuanwu retreated to the original position, the copper plate ground was divided left and right, the Xuanwu organ sank into the ground, the copper plate was compounded, and the passage was unblocked.
"Mr. Zuo, what's going on." Seeing that the danger was lifted, Masao Fujisaki walked quickly to his side.
"This is the tomb of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi in the Tang Dynasty." Zuo Dengfeng glanced at him when he heard this, Li Yuanji and the prince Li Jiancheng were killed by Li Shimin in the Xuanwumen Incident that year, the reason why Li Shimin wanted to kill his own brother was nothing more than to snatch the emperor's throne, in fact, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are both heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the old saying is that the winner of the cloud is the prince and the loser Kou, Li Shimin despicably killed his brother and imprisoned his father, these do not affect him to become a generation of Ming Jun in people's minds, the world is stupid, there are many people who don't know the truth, and there are many people who follow the trend. There are only few people who are cold and wise.
Fujisaki Masao didn't ask any more questions, but quickly walked to the passage, which was three feet long, and there was a stone gate at the end of the passage, he didn't care who was buried in this mausoleum, only whether he could find the ground branch.
Zuo Dengfeng did not rush forward, this is the tomb of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, if nothing else, the tomb in the north should be built by the crown prince Li, what Zuo Dengfeng does not understand now is why Li Shimin secretly buried his brother and younger brother who killed him here, what his intentions and motives are, whether he wants to atone for his sins or completely suppress the souls of the two, or for other unknown motives.
Li Chunfeng had already followed Li Shimin when he was the king of Qin, once the people in the Taoist sect entered the official career, they would no longer be free and easy, and he would have to do whatever Li Shimin asked him to do, and it cannot be inferred that the construction of this tomb was also based on good intentions because Li Chunfeng was upright, so the construction intention of this tomb was the embodiment of Li Shimin's thoughts, not his Li Chunfeng's.
The reason why Zuo Dengfeng cares so much about the original intention of the construction of this tomb is because the original intention of the construction of the tomb determines whether this tomb is good or evil, if Li Shimin buried the two brothers here out of guilt and compassion, then this tomb will not be very dangerous, and it may even be that the tomb is used to create a good place, if he is out of suppression and imprisonment, then this tomb will be very vicious, and the more you go inside, the more dangerous it is.
After a long time, Zuo Dengfeng raised his head and walked towards the second stone gate three zhang away on the north side, the existing clues were not enough for him to deduce the truth, so he could only enter the second stone gate to seek answers.
The second stone door is the same as the first stone door, and the opening position is still the yin and yang Taiji charm in the upper right corner, Zuo Dengfeng groaned for a moment and raised his hand to press the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened inward.
The inside of the stone gate is a crystal pool, the same height as the left and right burial chambers, the crystal is transparent, the black liquid inside is clearly visible, the area near the stone gate on the south side of the pool is a yellow copper platform, it is the shape of a white tiger, it is about two feet wide, three feet long, three feet from the ground, there is a square chessboard painted on the back of the tiger, there are nine balls of the size of pigeon eggs in a disc at the top of the tiger's head, although the balls are equal in size, but the colors are different, and the materials are not the same.
At first glance, Zuo Dengfeng thought that the tiger's back was engraved with a chessboard, but after careful inspection, he found that it was not a chessboard, the Go chessboard was composed of nineteen horizontal and vertical longitude and latitude lines, and there were only nine horizontal and vertical lines in front of him, which was not a Go chessboard, but a nine-palace map.
The so-called Nine Palaces Atlas is a deduction method derived from Qimen Dunjia, which can not only deduce the number of lives, but also deduce the future, seeing this Nine Palaces graphic, Zuo Dengfeng was immediately dumbfounded, Yin and Yang Five Elements Bagua and Earth Branch He is familiar with, but he is not proficient in the way of the Nine Palaces at all.
Fujisaki Masao and the others learned to be obedient, and let Zuo Dengfeng open the door alone in front of him to break the formation, and they didn't approach at all, they knew Zuo Dengfeng's temper, and they knew very well that once they stepped forward, they would definitely be sneered at by him.
Zuo Dengfeng took out a bottle of liquor from the wooden box and drank a few sips, then grabbed the wine bottle and frowned and looked at the nine-palace map on the tiger's back, the intersections of the lines on the nine-palace map are engraved with small grooves, that is to say, these nine balls can be placed at any point at will, if it is not difficult to simply arrange the complete nine-palace figure, "two four for the shoulder, six eight for the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, wearing nine shoes one, five in the center" According to this arrangement, whether it is up and down, left and right or diagonally crossed, the number obtained is fifteen, But the difficulty of this nine-palace diagram is that the material of the sphere used is different, and there is no number marked on it, so it is impossible to tell which one is one and which is two, once it is misplaced, the result is that the black water in the crystal wall is pouring out, what is this black water Zuo Dengfeng does not know, but he can be sure that this black water is not ink.
"Everything is unchanged, Lao Tzu can still be afraid of you,." The predicament in front of him did not make Zuo Dengfeng flinch, on the contrary, it also aroused his competitive spirit, no matter how difficult the Nine Palace Diagram is, it is difficult to escape the principle of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, what he has to do now is to push the Nine Palaces backwards and recklessly make a game.
Zuo Dengfeng probe grabbed the nine balls, and after a slight weighing, he picked out a heavy gold ball from it and put it in the center of the Jiugong diagram, the first ball is the best place, no need to choose the material, just put it in the center, once the ball falls, the main line of the Jiugong diagram is determined, and the other eight can not be placed at will.
After the golden ball fell, a small gourd-shaped thing immediately popped out of the tiger's back close to the tiger's tail, and the sudden appearance of the thing made Zuo Dengfeng couldn't help but take a few steps back, but after fixing his eyes, he found that this was a precision hourglass carved by crystal, different from the ordinary hourglass is that it is stored in the gold sand particles, the speed of the gold sand falling is very slow, Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand to look at the watch, and judged that it takes a full twelve hours for all the golden sand in this hourglass to be streamed according to the interval between the two gold sand falls, that is, one day.
This situation did not make Zuo Dengfeng feel relaxed, on the contrary, he felt a huge pressure, since Li Chunfeng dared to leave twelve hours of time for future generations to break the formation, it showed that this Nine Palace Diagram was very difficult to crack.
"Go out and dig the grave, dig deeper, and drain the water inside." Fujisaki Masao ordered the three sappers, and he deliberately said it to Zuo Dengfeng, which meant digging a hole in the tomb, and then blowing up the crystal cabinet and draining the black water.
"Don't be embarrassed, if you try to blow up the crystal wall, you'll probably never be able to enter the main tomb." Zuo Dengfeng snorted coldly when he heard this, although the organs of these two secret rooms are very dangerous, they are very atmospheric, and they have left enough time for the people who enter the tomb to break the formation, this is Li Chunfeng's temperament, and give the people who enter the tomb a fair opportunity to challenge, but if the people who enter the tomb play yin with him, he also has corresponding countermeasures, such as blocking the tomb road, or completely sealing the main tomb.
"Mr. Zuo, please pay attention to your tone, we also want to help you." Zuo Dengfeng's tone made Masao Fujisaki very annoyed.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't have a good idea when he heard this, in his opinion, Fujisaki Masao was already dying, so let him say a few more words.
"Mr. Zuo, we are short on time, do you think it is necessary to solve this trap?" Fujisaki Masao looked eager, Zuo Dengfeng took out the wine bottle and looked at it as if he wanted to think about it carefully, and what he lacked most at the moment was time, and this was not an occupied area.
"You can only unlock the Nine Palaces Diagram, if you force it, Li Chunfeng will definitely not let you enter the main tomb." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said, the Xuanwumen incident occurred in 626, when Li Chunfeng was only twenty-five years old, he was a young man, young people have a common surname, that is, competitive arrogance, strong vanity, all the organs of this mausoleum reflect Li Chunfeng's surname, after the featherless short arrow outside is shot indiscriminately, the cat and dog are almost dead, and the rest are qualified to face the organs, which is also caused by Li Chunfeng's young surname, if he is fifty years old when this mausoleum is set up, Then he will definitely calmly design this mausoleum to be impeccable, and will never leave a glimmer of life to test the intelligence of outsiders, and the hidden meaning behind this move is 'Look how smart I am, can you?'
Fujisaki Masao nodded when he heard this, he also felt that what Zuo Dengfeng said made sense, except for the outermost mechanism, the killing intent of the two organs in front of him was no longer strong, but more like competing with people for intelligence, in this case, the designer of the mausoleum naturally would not let those who wanted to come hard get cheap, and hard coming would cause serious consequences.
"Wait patiently, if my guess is correct, this is already the last mechanism, as long as I unlock the Nine Palaces Diagram, we can enter." Zuo Dengfeng said.
"Really." Masao Fujisaki seemed to see hope.
"Yes." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said, there are a total of three organs here, no feather short arrow, Xuanwu fire-breathing bronze statue, white tiger poisonous pool, this is enough, the other Qinglong and Vermilion Bird should be in the mausoleum in the north, in addition, in the Tang Dynasty, there must be officers and soldiers here to protect the mausoleum in the name of guarding the Zhou Mausoleum, and there is no need for too many organs.
Masao Fujisaki nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, the voice of a demon came from the hole that had been dug outside, "Your Excellency Osa, Miss Sakurako tells you to speed up,"
"Something's wrong." Masao Fujisaki asked rhetorically.
"The Shina people have discovered our whereabouts, Samurai Mikawa and Miss Sakurako have already killed them, and we are disposing of the corpses." It was said that the devil shouted at the top of his throat.
Zuo Dengfeng frowned suddenly when he heard this, and sure enough, the child went back and called the people in the village, saying that this devil would not take care of young children like him, and the lively child must have been lying in a pool of blood now.
"Got it." Masao Fujisaki shouted in response.
Fujisaki Masao's voice made Zuo Dengfeng calm down in an instant, until now the mausoleum has no suitable terrain for the formation, and now is not the time to start, the top priority is to break this nine-palace diagram, introduce Fujisaki and others into the main tomb, and then kill them.
The nine palaces are used to deduce the number of qi and fortunes, to put it bluntly, it is fortune telling and prediction, Li Chunfeng did not stipulate what kind of atlas, he only asked outsiders to use nine balls supplemented by the nine palace lines for an accurate deduction, Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a long time, and decided to be a fortune teller to deduce the good luck and evil of this trip......
