Chapter 54: Three Walls and Four Elephants
Lao Gu looked at Qin Zhen's cool words, and retorted very unhappily: "Mistake your sister!" It's like you can understand what Dong Shao said! Ten dollars for five, you don't see less! Let's not talk about anyone, you can still be regarded as my optical knowledge, you know? ”
"Okay, okay......" Qin Zhen smiled and pushed Lao Gu, who was humming angrily, and gave him a step down. Otherwise, he was just "popularized" by Yudong, but he was definitely planted once. However, it stands to reason that he should have adapted to this kind of "disgrace" a long time ago. Even Qin Zhen has long been accustomed to this feeling.
After entering the passage on the left, it didn't take long for me to feel the twists and turns of the road, which was very different from the previous one.
All the bluestone bricks here are paved with a special diamond-shaped angle. And the shades of color are also very interesting, they are all very contrasting dark and light intertwined. This makes people feel very trance-like visually. I started to feel a little dizzy when I looked at it.
On the top of the head and at the feet, on both sides of the body, all of them are covered with this interlaced diamond pattern. Since there is no color, and there is no fear of oxidation, the whole space is gloomy. It really seems like a means of creating optical illusions, but 2,200 years ago...... Did the ancients already have this kind of idea?
Lao Gu rubbed his eyes at this time, and said with a somewhat painful expression: "Our life is really bitter, you said that this place is already weird enough, and there is a living creature waiting for us in front!" Good and decent, why do you want to put that thing here? ”
Listening to Lao Gu's meaningless complaint, Qin Zhen snorted weakly and said, "You are content." You have to think of it this way, fortunately there is a living creature here, and in order to avoid poisoning this monster, Qin Shi Huang did not pour mercury here. Otherwise, it's a question of whether we can come in or not, and we still have to catch up with the mountain whip...... Catch up with the hair......"
Jiang Qi also participated in their discussion and said: "What Qin Zhen said is true, mercury has always been Qin Shi Huang's usual method. Legend has it that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang used mercury as rivers, lakes and seas, and archaeological surveys have also confirmed that the surface mercury of the Imperial Tomb exceeds the standard. If it had been filled with mercury, we wouldn't have had a chance to come in again. ”
If you think about it, it's like a cause and effect that has been predestined for thousands of years. Qin Shi Huang hid the Yuwang Jiuding and hid the mountain whip. But at the same time, what he did has also shaped what it is today, 2,200 years later. Yudong, they can also find various clues and treasures.
In the dark, a qiē has a fixed number.
It became more and more difficult to control the visual dizziness, Qin Zhen couldn't help but cover his eyes and asked, "Mosheng...... What kind of astrological mechanism did you talk about...... Could it be these bricks? I can't even tell the difference between up and down, left and right now......"
Mo Sheng said very calmly: "Do you know Murphy's Law? The more you don't want it to happen, the more it tends to happen. Why? Because your attention is too focused. You relax. Distract yourself somewhat. Try to look at the other noteworthy places in this passage. Then it won't feel that way. ”
Qin Zhen smiled bitterly. The heart said that these two people are really "naturalists", and they just say something in a set...... This mouth is to quote the scriptures, and to close the mouth is the law of psychology. made Qin Zhen deeply feel that his ignorance was not much better than Lao Gu.
Or, as long as it is by Yudong or his friend's side, it is difficult for ordinary people to find their own value. But people, you should have a peaceful mind. If you always compare with people like Yudong, then you will have half a life if you don't die. It is not necessarily a good thing for people to live, to be too omnipotent, too thorough, too high to be cold. Qin Zhen has always liked his "ordinary" state. After all, most people's lives are ordinary.
Mo Sheng shouted at Yudong at this time, and then said with some doubts: "Have you noticed that the pattern here seems to be very special and has some kind of law......
Yu Dong replied: "I have figured it out, the direction before we come in is facing due east, and then after we come in, we go west, the green dragon enters, and the white tiger comes out." But halfway through, the road is blocked, and the direction is changed. We chose the north, that is, the direction of Xuanwu. Xuanwu belongs to water, and it is also the ancient god of water. That's why there's a lot of water here. It's actually a ring, but it's not necessarily all directly connected. The white tiger is in the evil position, and the reckless elephant is either in the 'water' of Xuanwu in the north, or it is in the evil position of the white tiger. ”
Mo Sheng followed with great agreement: "That's right, this is indeed a collection of three walls and four elephants. I guess the four directions of east, west, north and south each represent a different environment and outcome. On such a large basis, the distribution and pattern changes of the organs of the three walls were determined. In my guess, since the mountain whip is a divine object recognized by Qin Shi Huang, it should belong to the emperor. The location of the hiding should be in the North Sky Crape Myrtle Wall. It also happens to be in the 'water' of the Northern Xuanwu that you are talking about. ”
Yu Dong and Mo Sheng were talking about words that ordinary people couldn't understand. And it seems to be more and more speculative, and the more you talk, the more interested you become.
This made Qin Zhen really unbearable, and finally couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two of them, and said with a big opinion: "Isn't it owed to the two of you to serve a pot of wine?" You two are drinking a thousand glasses of wine and confidants, but our brothers can listen to it and don't speculate and say it vigorously. You're going to have to tell us about it and let us understand, right? What's going on with the three walls and four elephants? And what's going on with crape myrtle Xuanwu? ”
"Yes, yes, you guys quickly make it clear, this sounds weird and anxious!" Lao Gu rarely supported Qin Zhen once, and raised his hands in protest as if marching with the masses, squeezing Yudong and they hurriedly explained what they had just said.
In fact, Qin Zhen could hear that Yu Dong and Mo Sheng were talking about astrological signs, and he also knew that Qin Shi Huang seemed to be very concerned about these things and very obsessed. His Afang Palace has the top of the astronomical palace, and his Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang also has the sun, moon and stars. It's just that he didn't expect that he would use astronomical techniques such as the Star Palace to transform into a mechanism to guard the mountain whip.
It sounds like Yudong and they can already be sure that the mountain whip must be hidden in the north, and they have chosen the northern road very correctly. But the problem is that according to the results of Yudong's analysis, there will not only be mountain whips in the north, but also reckless phenomena. Because the main water in the north and the main water in the Xuan Ming are like water monsters...... These come together and are definitely not just coincidences.
"Qin Shi Huang seems to have a soft spot for astronomy and astronomy." Qin Zhen said.
While carefully observing the changes in the ground and the stone walls on the left and right, Yu Dong replied, "The astronomical calendar and the regime are inextricably linked. China is a country with a long history of agriculture, and the formulation of the calendar means that the common people can have regular guidance for agricultural work, and do not have to work blindly, thus greatly improving production efficiency. One of the fundamental tasks of the rulers in governing the world is to achieve rapid development and make the country rich and the people strong under their own governance. Therefore, the calendar is related to the political power, and mastering the excellent and progressive astronomical calendar can be said to be equivalent to mastering the political power.
When the ancient Yao passed the world to Shun, all the explanations especially emphasized the phrase 'the number of the heavens is bowing'. Later, when Shun Chan gave the position to Yu, he also gave the same explanation and entrustment.
In the past, the Yellow Emperor examined the ephemeris, established the five elements, and started the news and was leaping. The people and gods have different karma, respect but not blasphemy, so the gods descend to Jiasheng, the people enjoy the things, and disasters do not arise.
It can be said that since the beginning of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, the relationship between the astronomical calendar and the regime has been laid. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang, as a king who compares himself to the five emperors, naturally regards these as particularly important. It is not so much that he brought the sun, moon and stars into the mausoleum, but that he was unwilling to let go of his world and government until he died. ”
Unexpectedly, the sun, moon and stars in the sky would be connected with the royal power. This was indeed something that Qin Zhen and the others did not expect.
Now it seems that every design here should be carefully laid out. The four elephants deal with the four roads, except for the white tiger, the rest are probably passable. It's just that, as Yu Dong and Mo Sheng said, each direction represents a different meaning. Different choices will create different endings, whether they are successful or doomed, it depends on whether their choice is correct or not. There is no other way for them to know about this except to verify it themselves.
I just hope that this mechanism formation set up according to the stars is not too deadly and cruel......
Chatting about astronomical stars, before Yu Dong and Mo Sheng could explain the problem of the three walls and four elephants to Qin Zhen and them, they suddenly found some abnormal changes in front of them.
Is that...... There is light.
It's unexpected, and it's special. But all of them knew that it must not be the light from the normal outside world. It's like the Eye of Shangri-La, which is probably the glow of a particular stone or substance.
Yu Dong slowed down at this time, and slowly approached the bright place cautiously and step by step.
When I looked up, it was a strange stone. Each emits a faint light and is neatly arranged in the dome. Like a small piece of incandescent lamp with a very low wattage, it shone with a faint cold glow. Due to the low dome of the tunnel, they could see the strange stone almost as soon as they looked up.
Even for those who don't know anything about astronomy and astronomy, it is not difficult to see at this moment that the stones are arranged in accordance with the direction of the stars. I don't know what the mystery will be, but Qin Zhen faintly feels that starting from these weird and bright stones, it is probably the beginning of the spread of mechanisms...... (To be continued......)
