Yunnan Worm Valley Chapter 40 Water Eye
The fat man explained, "Actually...... Then...... At that time, I also concealed one thing, no, no, I didn't want to hide it, I didn't have time to talk about it, and I considered that we have been spending a lot of money recently, so it's not a problem if you can't get in and out...... Okay, I picked up the useful words, I climbed over the beam, to burn the set of clothes hanging in the corner, at first I was also frightened enough by the human skin hood that seemed to be a head, but when I thought of Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang's heroes, I didn't have me in my head, I ripped off the hood, wanted to use it as a source of fire, lit it first, and then threw it over to burn the clothes below, how did I know that a stone fell out of the dead man's skin, I picked it up and looked, it was black and slippery, like jade, I learned from the grandson of the big gold tooth, and habitually sniffed it with my nose, I licked it with my tongue again, and I felt that it was bitter, maybe it wasn't jade, I thought it was a stinky stone in a pit, but there were a lot of people who took medicine in our Pan homeland (buying fakes), I thought that this black stone could also be sold at a good price as black jade, so I stuffed it into the treasure bag, and then I forgot about it myself, and when I came down from the plank road, I suddenly felt that my tongue was itching, and I waited until I entered the tomb, and I couldn't speak, I had to cover my mouth, otherwise it would laugh by itself, and I was scared a lot. And I want to eat human flesh so much that I can't control myself......"
Hearing this, Shirley Yang interjected: "I think what we speculated is completely correct, we did fall into the Southern Yunnan evil arts such as Tongue Descending or Tongue Gu, and those costumes hanging on the top of the hall are 100% the owners of the many corpses in the six-legged fire tripod, they are all the leaders of the Yi people, and it is really sad to end up like this." This is dedicated to the king's tomb above and below ground. are full of weirdness and weirdness, before the king died, he must have been preparing for a huge ceremony, but before he could complete it, he had exhausted his longevity. ”
I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "Although these witchcraft are weird, after all, there are still traces to be found, I see that there are too many unusual things in the king's tomb, and the bronze beasts and bronze people in the heavenly palace are incomprehensible, I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't recall anything, in addition, you look at the copper chariots and horses in the tomb of the underground palace, and the mound at the end, there are hundreds of tortured corpses, even if they are all buried slaves, they should not be killed so cruelly, where is there still half a point like the king's tomb, It's clearly an execution ground. ”
We rested for a while, then we couldn't hold it back, and got up together to check the dried corpses and the copper chariots and horses on the stone platform, because the dried corpses were wrapped in wax, the fat man licked with his tongue for a long time just now, and he didn't lick the hard wax, so it's okay, at least it can make us feel a little more comfortable when we think about it, otherwise no one really wants to eat with him.
At this time, I looked closely and found many dried corpses in a terrifying state of death. There were all young and old, young and strong, and they all seemed to be slaves, and for some reason they were punished so severely, but one thing is for sure, in ancient times, the living were buried. If they weren't slaves, they would have been guilty of heinous crimes.
Look at those bronze men and bronze horses, it is really something missing, first of all, people do not hold weapons, horses are not as good as whips, and secondly, the number is not right, the ancient people attach great importance to the number of two, three, six, seven, nine, especially six, according to the system of princely nobles, at least thirty-six horses open the way, the second level is sixteen horses, and the number of this team of bronze horses is less than thirty.
The most important thing is that in addition to the copper horses, these bronze people are very rotten and rotten, and even some places have softened and peeled off, I have seen some materials, many Han tombs. Bronze burial goods have been unearthed, although they have been eroded by air and water to produce copper flowers, but they are by no means as severe as these bronze people and horses, and the erosion is severe.
Although the tomb was invaded by the pool water, the absolute humidity here was not very high, and it was very difficult to understand this phenomenon, and I had no clue for a while.
Shirley Yang's mind turned quickly, and after a little thought, he said to me: "If you change the angle, it is not difficult to understand, we have preconceived ideas, and have always thought that this is the underground palace where the coffin of the king is placed, but we may have been wrong from the beginning, this is not the underground palace at all, but a processing factory for the king's tomb to cast bronze figures and carve stone beasts, these bronze people are so corrupted so strictly, I think this may be related to the imbalance of copper and tin alloys, this king's tomb is quite large, it must be difficult to build with the power of the Dian Kingdom alone, A large number of slaves from the surrounding countries must have been used in the project, and some technical jobs must have been trained from them, but this batch of craftsmen selected from the captives made the wrong proportion of ingredients, and wasted a lot of time and raw materials...... Although it is also a bronze object, but the proportions are different, the performance of the manufactured items is not the same, if the benchmark of the six qi is lost, the cast thing is a scrap, so these slaves who made mistakes were brutally executed, killed as an example, and then closed the workshop.
I patted my mountaineering helmet: "Yes, I was just about to think about it but you said it, no wonder this is not like the Xuangong of the ancient tomb at all, but since this is not here, where is the tomb of the king's tomb?" ”
Shirley Yang said to me, "There is no one in the world who knows the secret art of dividing gold and acupoints to be the right of you...... Of course, this is what you advertise yourself, so this is going to ask you, we are running out of time, we must try our best to find the entrance to the tomb. ”
The so-called "dividing gold and fixing acupoints" is a secret technique that only a few school captains can master, which can distinguish the feng shui elements of "shape shì rational qi, dragon sand cave water" through guò, and use the compass gold needle to confirm the precise position of the coffin placed in the ancient tomb, and its error is no more than the diameter of a gold needle, hence the name "fenjin ding acupoint".
But the current situation really makes me embarrassed, if I could directly use the gold to find the tomb of the king's tomb, I would have found it directly, but the problem is that the compass has failed as soon as it enters the "worm valley", and this "water dragon halo" is only in the legend, my "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" is only slightly mentioned, and the book is only the point of view of later generations, from a side analysis of its shape shì layout, has not been discussed in detail.
After years of study, I judged that this fragment of the ancestral family came from the late Qing Dynasty, and its theory was mainly based on the Tang Dynasty's feng shui star position, but the "water dragon halo" in the depths of this worm valley belongs to the immortal cave mentioned in ancient feng shui, and most of the later feng shui masters think that there is no such immortal cave in the world, so the fragment of "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" that I have been relying on is no longer of much use here.
If you want to rob the tomb, you must first find the tomb, but some of the emperor's tombs are placed there, and have not been stolen and excavated, which is mainly due to two reasons, one is that since ancient times, the theft of the emperor's tomb and other super large tombs, mostly by warlords, peasant armies and other groups, think those emperor's tombs are carved out of the mountains, hidden deep underground, by hundreds of thousands of people, poor decades of energy to build, that is how strong and deep, not a large army, difficult to excavate, because it is not as simple as digging and excavating, its engineering quantity and from the mountains to open a tunnel out of the similar, And this is still on the premise of being able to dig out the tomb road, if you can't find the tomb road, dig up half of the mountain, you may not be able to find where the tomb gate is, and anyone who has seen a real mountain should know how different there is between the mountain range and the soil slope.
Second, no matter how strong the imperial tomb is, it can't deal with tomb robbers, no matter how strong it is, how hidden, after all, it doesn't have long legs, it can't run, and it can only hide in one place forever, even if there is no large team of people to excavate, this group of people can't dig it, and the next group of people, go out to dig for ten or twenty years, sooner or later it can be stolen, but the people who can make the gold and the hole know that the leylines are vertical and horizontal, and the important branches in the ancestral veins affect the pattern and balance of nature, so they will never touch the imperial tombs built on the important dragon veins. So as not to break the great feng shui and lead to a big disaster in the world.
In this "Tomb of the King", we can not directly confirm the location of the coffin, so we have to use the most earthy method, that is, the means of warlords or peasant armies, to find the "tomb road", the emperor's tomb road one after another thousand pounds of large stone doors, is used to deal with this soil method, because as long as you find the tomb road, you can find the tomb door and tomb chamber along the vine, but when I started, I found that the mountain gap that was broken by the crash was not the tomb road, so where is this tomb road hidden?
Although I know that it must be in the deepest part of this valley, and it will not be beyond the range of one mile below the "Lingyun Heavenly Palace", but just such a deep pool of cliffs on all sides of the big green funnel, with only the three of us slowly looking for it, I am afraid that we will not be able to find it in ten years.
I suddenly had an idea, and I thought of a place, and I immediately said to Shirley Yang: "Water Eye, that black whirlpool, I think it is most likely to be the place where the bones of the king are placed, and the most likely to be overlooked is there, the underground palace must be in the mountain, but the entrance is a water eye like a ghost cave." ”
Shirley Yang Qi said: "You mean there is a coffin under the water?" You'd better tell me clearly, how sure is this judgment? The undercurrents and undercurrents there are very dangerous, do we need to take this risk? ”
I said to Shirley Yang: "Even if the king is not in the eye of the water, it should be the entrance to the tomb, I am at least seventy percent sure, this time it is worth fighting, but although the three of us are all proficient in water, I have already learned the power of the water eye, even if I am willing to take ten percent of the risk, but it is not easy to go down." ”
Shirley Yang looked at the bronze men around and said: "I have a way to increase the safety factor, now there are three thickest reinforced long ropes, each of which is enough to bear the weight of the three of us, in order to ensure safety, it can be fixed in three places, even if one is broken, there are still two, we drag a heavy copper horse at the bottom of the pool, it will not be lightly swept by the undercurrent, so that it is not impossible to go down to the water eye, and then withdraw after the work is finished." ”
I said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "Then let's act according to the plan, let the fat man make meritorious deeds, and be the first to go to the water eye."
The coffin of the king is very likely to be in the "water eye" at the bottom of the pool. I remember seeing a huge stone beam at the bottom of the pool, and at that time I thought it was a stone that had fallen during the construction of the king's tomb, but now that I think about it, maybe it was the top of the tomb.
We split up and fastened the three thickest long cables to the wreckage of the underwater heavy bomber, and there was no more suitable bolt than the remains of this "flying fortress", which not only had an extremely high dead weight, but also a huge shell, far beyond the diameter and suction power of the "water eye".
Then I started to move the copper horse, the copper horse is extremely heavy, fortunately the terrain here is a slope, the three of them used all their strength, and finally pushed the copper horse into the water, and then the inflatable air bag on the diving bag, fixed on the belly of the copper horse, so that when returning from the "water eye", you can use the buoyancy of the air bag to offset the huge suction in some whirlpools.
When it came out of the breach, there were still black clouds in the sky outside, the stars and the moon were lightless, and during the day, the ancient trees on the Tan wall were overgrown, the vines were entangled, the big waterfall flew beads and pounded jade, and the mysterious and gorgeous atmosphere of silver foam gushing jade and hanging Bifeng was all invisible, and the huge sound of water flowing in the waterfall group was completely like a monster hiding in the darkness roaring like thunder, which made people's hearts tremble.
The three of us stepped on the water and floated in Tan, and I said to the fat man and Shinley Yang: "Success or not, it is up to you here, you must be careful, you can't let the copper horse sink under the water, otherwise we will never come up again." ”
Shinley Yang said: "Water is impermanent, and things under the water are the most unpredictable, if it is difficult to enter the tomb from the whirlpool, you must not force yourself to come, you can retreat first, and then plan accordingly."
I said to Shinley Yang: "Stay in the green mountains, I am not afraid of running out of firewood, but once the time passes, I am afraid that we will never have the opportunity to enter this king's tomb again, so we must do our best today." If it doesn't work out, it's providence. With that, he tapped his mountaineering helmet and lit up the tactical spotlights. Put down the diving goggles, put on the oxygen mask, make a dive gesture, and sink to the bottom of the pool first.
Shinley Yang and the fat man also dived into the water, and the three of them found the bronze horse under the water, as well as the rope tied to it, and the safety lock around their necks was firmly tied to it, and they all locked each other. With the addition of triple insurance, I raised the "Poseidon dazzle" underwater searchlight, swept around with a strong beam, and found that at the edge of the pool, I could not see the black vortex in the center, up and down, left and right. It was pitch black.
But I'm already familiar with the terrain of Tandi. I went to the bomber's fuselage first, a huge dark green fuselage, and at this time it was a large road sign, and the tail was facing the direction. It is the ten mysterious 'water eyes', between the tail and the "water eyes", there is also a lapis lazuli connection, along these Tan Di markers, even if the visibility is poor, you can find the right direction.
I couldn't talk underwater, so I had to use sign language to communicate. The sign language we use is called "Seal", not the universal German sign language, mainly because the sign language of the U.S. Navy is easier to understand and quick to learn.
The fat man's mouth was bubbling with strings of oxygen bubbles, and he nodded at me. Shinley Yang also understood, and immediately untied the airbag buoy on the copper horse and made it rise to the surface of the water, so that if we ran out of oxygen or had a problem with the gas cylinder in the middle, we could still connect the air pipe with the buoy and temporarily ventilate.
After about a minute, the buoy's air nozzle had filled the airbag with about a third of the air, reducing some of the weight of the copper horse, and we pushed the copper horse under the water, constantly pushing towards the vortex at the bottom of the pool.
Where we passed, the mud algae and mayflies at the bottom of the pond were floating, flying chaotically in the water, the bottom of the water was already pitch black, the visibility was even lower, I felt that the mud algae under my feet was not much thick, the bottom was very solid, it seemed to be a flat boulder, it seemed that the tomb of the "Tomb of the King" was indeed hidden at the bottom of the pool, so far I was a little more sure.
At this time, Shinley Yang, who was slightly forward, stopped, clenched his fists left and right, and pressed his elbows downward, which was a signal to "stop", and Fat and I hurriedly stopped, no longer pushing the copper horse.
Shinley Yang turned around, and without shaking her off and gesticulating again, I had already noticed that the undercurrent was beginning to emerge from the underwater, and it seemed that we had reached the edge of the "water eye". According to the predetermined plan, I made a gesture to the fat man, stretched out two fingers, pointed back at my eyes, and then pointed at the fat man, "You are in front, we will cover you." ”
The fat man's thumb and index finger are circled, and the other three fingers are straightened: "Roger." Then he moved to the front of the bronze horse, and since he was the strongest of us, he had to make sure that the bronze horse was not swept into the depths of the whirlpool.
With the heavy bronze horse, the three of them have formed a knot, we will not be driven by the force of the water flow rolled up by the vortex, but we still feel that the suction of the undercurrent is getting bigger and bigger, and when the vortex of the black hole is close in front of us, it is already a little uncontrollable body, the bronze horse is not one, but multiple parts are cast and spliced together, I don't know if it will be broken by the water flow if it continues like this.
I quickly raised one arm, spread my five fingers and made a circle, clenched it into a fist, and made a "quickly closer" gesture to Shinley Yang and the fat man.
The three of them plus a heavy rucksack, and the total weight of the bronze horse, nearly a thousand catties, only to stabilize the center of gravity a little, I slowly opened the safety lock, so that the long rope was gradually released centimeter by centimeter.
The fat man pulled out two cold fireworks, hit them on the mountaineering helmet, and immediately burst out of the water without burning smoke and cold sparks, first let the two cold fireworks burn in his hand for five seconds, and then as soon as he withdrew his hand, the two bright lights were immediately swept into the depths of the whirlpool.
I was behind the bronze horse, Yuan Fa saw the light of the cold fireworks, what it looked like in the whirlpool, only to see the fat man turn his head, stretch out his right hand flat, cover the eyebrow bone, and then point to the vortex below, and finally give a thumbs up: "See, it's below." ”
I held my body firmly, pointed at Shinley Yang and Fat Man respectively, and slapped my own hiking helmet: "Stay safe." Then the three of them hugged the bronze horse tightly, and slowly sank down by the suction force of the whirlpool, thanks to the weight of the bronze horse, otherwise people would inevitably be swept up by the water flow when they went.
If the bottom of this pool is like the bottom of a cauldron, then the "water eye" in the middle is a big hole in the bottom of the pot, and even the advanced underwater lighting equipment such as "Poseidon Dazzle" seems to have become a small match in the water eye, and the visibility drops sharply, at this time, it is like being in the terrifying ghost hole, and is dragged into the boundless darkness by the evil ghost.
Fortunately, holding the bronze horse, feeling a calm weight, the heartbeat gradually stabilized, the first thing the fat man saw at the entrance to the tomb was not in the middle of the whirlpool, almost attached to the bottom of the pool, but there was a stone on it to block it, if it was not in the "water eye", it could not be seen at all.
Seeing that the tomb had been discovered, I worked together with Fat and Shinley Yang to get our group out of the center of the whirlpool and swim into the tomb.
There is no stone door in the tomb road, and it is full of dark and cold pool water, but as soon as you enter the tomb road, you can not feel the power of the undercurrent, the big stone at the entrance of the bluestone tomb road is an anticline shrinkage arrangement, and it is not affected by the "water eye" force field separated by one meter, although so, we still dare not slack off, and swim to the depths of the tomb for more than 20 miles before stopping.
I struggled with all my strength in the "water eye" just now, and I didn't have time to be scared at all, but now I think about it a little, and then there is a slight delay in a link, and at this time I can't help but become a resentful soul at the bottom of the pool, but I finally found the tomb, and it was worth taking such a big risk.
We untied the ropes on our bodies, continued to swim deep in the flooded tomb, and looked at the surrounding environment for a while, only to see that the tomb was quite wide and flat, the two walls and the underground, were all large stone bricks, only the top of the head was a large blue strip stone, there were no murals and inscriptions, not even the statue of the town tomb, the strangest thing was that there was no stone door, and it seemed that the explosives we prepared could not be used.
But I don't want to figure it out, here is definitely the "Xuan Palace" that leads to the king's tomb, because the king is obsessed with the art of cultivating immortals and immortals, so he thinks that he can ascend to heaven after his death, and is confident that this tomb will not be entered by outsiders, so the tomb road does not set up a stone gate to block the stall, for tomb robbers, the stone gate is indeed the stupidest thing, the difference between the stone gate and the stone gate is just a waste of more effort and time.
The tomb road is thin and long, swimming inward for a long time, always underwater, I made a gesture to the fat man and Shinley Yang to continue to move forward, judging from the scale of the terrain here, the "Xuan Palace" where the coffin is placed should not be far away.
Sure enough, dozens of meters forward, there was a stone slope under the water in front of them, and the tomb road became several times wider than before, and went up along the stone slope, and soon exceeded the level of Tan Shui.
I wiped a handful of water from my face and was pleasantly surprised: "It's finally here." The fat man pointed to the big stone gate in the water and said, "Hey, old Hu, look at the top of the ...... How come there is a small door? ”
The small door that the fat man said is a bronze gatehouse at the highest point, the whole is black, the structure is extremely exquisite, the doorway is just enough to allow one person to pass through, there are dripping water on the gatehouse, and there are clouds and birds around it, which seems to symbolize that it is high above the clouds.
I said to the fat man: "That place is called Tianmen, which is used for the tomb owner to ascend to heaven after the autopsy of immortals, and it is only available in the tombs of people in Daomen, but the beautiful thing of becoming immortals and ascending to heaven, those dry corpses don't even think about it. ”
We went through a lot of difficulties and dangers, and finally touched the door of the "Xuan Palace" of the king's tomb, and we couldn't help but be very excited, but Shinley Yang was still worried that there was no "dust bead" inside, and suddenly asked me: "In ancient China, was there really a god?" ”
