Mountains and Seas Demon Tomb Chapter 7 Statue of a Kobold Man (4)

"I understand Lao Hu, the direction that the statue points to after it turns is the direction of the next clue, right?" The fat man hurriedly said.

"If it's so simple, people who don't understand Zhou Yi can see through the mystery of the statue's rotation by mistake, so why do you have such a difficult bureau?" I said disapprovingly. The fat man didn't guess right, but he wasn't angry, anyway, he was used to it.

"This kobold equestrian statue actually has a mystery, and it is not just a representative of General Chen. The dog is the Gen hexagram, on top. Horses for the trigram, in the bottom. The "hanging" of the upper and lower parts of the body indicates that some mysterious things have not yet been answered. I continued.

"There is no answer to the mysterious matter, does this imply that there is a follow-up to the search for the Chen family's tomb? But there is no need to hint at this, because this is only the second line of the poem, and the last two lines and the first one are not answered. It's hard to say that. Shirley Young shook her head and said.

"I also find it a little strange here, this secret is not solved, it is obvious, there is no need to prompt. Perhaps this hexagram has another meaning. But whatever it is, it's an indispensable and important clue. Perhaps we can find an explanation in the following clues. I said.

"But is it possible that you got it wrong? Perhaps this hexagram is a hint at how many degrees the statue should be turned? God knows what will happen if you turn it wrong! Shirley Young said anxiously.

"Oh, Chief of Staff Yang, you don't want your mother-in-law," the fat man said impatiently, "Lao Hu has explained everything he can explain, and neither of us understands the Book of Changes, so what's the use of thinking about it just here!" ”

"I think the fat man has a point. There is only so much of my ability, and I can't guarantee that the specific explanation is correct. But if we don't do what I analyzed now, is there any other way for us? I said to Shirley Young.

Shirley Young bit her lower lip, a habit she had whenever she made a decision. "Okay, Lao Hu, let's try, you have an old Chinese saying that the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. It's a big deal, we're going to die together. ”

"Bah, I said why are you so crow-mouthed," the fat man said dissatisfied, "return you China, as if you are not Chinese." ”

Shirley Yang was about to refute, but I quickly took over: "Okay, okay, fatty, don't talk nonsense, let's move the statue quickly!" After saying that, he quickly walked to the statue and held his upper body with his hands. Seeing this, Fat Man and Shirley Yang also came over to help.

The statue hadn't been rotated for hundreds of years, and probably the parts of the mechanism were rusty, making it very difficult to turn. The three of us were all struggling to feed, and our faces were flushed before we heard a jerky clicking sound from the mechanism in our waists. As General Chen's right hand gradually pointed from the left front to the right front and coincided with the right man's lamp, the machine was completely activated, and then it turned to the right on its own.

Shirley Yang hurriedly took out the compass and calculated the direction pointed out by the statue, 54 degrees to the southeast, which should be the location of the next clue. As Shirley Young was recording the location of the clue, the wall behind the statue made a rumbling sound, as if some kind of large mechanism had been activated. The three of us tensed up and stood back to back to prevent any lethal weapons from being shot out of nowhere.

After a few moments, no hidden weapons came out, and the wall behind it slowly moved to one side in one piece, and a ray of sunlight entered our eyes. After spending a lot of time in the dimly lit room, the intense natural light outside blinded all three of us for a while. When my eyes adjusted to the light and found that the whole wall was gone, I saw clearly that there was a meditation room outside the secret room.

"Oh bad old Hu, have they discovered our whereabouts, maybe there are police waiting outside to arrest us." The fat man said nervously.

"Hmph, no, if they dare to call the police, I will carefully ask how there are nine human corpses in this non-killing temple." I gritted my teeth and said gloomily.

A voice in the meditation room outside said loudly: "Three donors, there is no public security here, you can come out with confidence." "Listen to the voice is the abbot. I was still hesitating, and Shirley Young had already taken the lead and walked out. When I saw her go out, I was relieved because I knew she was not a reckless person.
