Chapter 43: The Eight Gates. Yagami

Xiao Lianshan fixed the rope in Baxiantai, and the others carefully reached Baxiantai through the ice bridge, and found a place with words in Xiao Lianshan, I asked everyone to clean up the surroundings, and sure enough, I soon found a gap in the ground with stone slabs.

Pulling open the stone slab, a winding downward coiling dragon road appeared in everyone's eyes, and Xiao Lianshan was just about to go down when I pulled him back.

"Do you know what it's called?"

"Didn't you say that this is Panlong Road, usually the emperor's mausoleum only uses Panlong Road." Xiao Lianshan said confusedly.

"It's called Panlong Dao, but there is another name, Soul Ladder!" I'm serious. "Hooking the soul and making people have the illusion that they can't find the right direction, this kind of Panlong Road generally has twenty-three stone steps, and the design principle has long been lost."

Yue Qianling poked her head and looked down, and said very seriously.

"There has been a discussion in the archaeological community about the Soul Ladder, and many archaeologists are obsessed with it, and it looks like there is only one staircase, but it actually leads in all directions."

I squatted on the Panlong Road and walked carefully, suddenly stopping and pointing to a place.

"See this crescent-shaped mark? This is the trap, you follow me, don't step on the steps with this mark, the mark is actually gradually deviating on the steps, plus these steps and stone walls, may be smeared with a secret recipe, absorbing light paint, more difficult to identify the direction, once you pay attention to this information, it will make people make logical judgment mistakes, thinking that they are walking in a straight line, in fact, unconsciously on the fork in the road, in the fork in the road in a big circle, to the end of the complete loss of direction. ”

I led the way in front, the architectural design here is very ingenious, many places directly chiseled through the mountain, the light can be seen clearly without lighting, the Panlong Road spirals from top to bottom, the people who follow behind are more and more dizzy, the stone steps are designed to be very narrow, and if you are not careful, you will fall down.

After walking the Panlong Road to a circular stone cave, the light shining in from all sides makes the stone cave very bright, there are eight statues of different shapes in the middle of the circular stone cave, and there are eight grooves evenly distributed around the stone cave, from the base of the statue to see that it is completely consistent with the groove, these statues should be pushed into the groove.

After Xiao Lianshan and the others walked around in the stone cave, Gu Anqi said in surprise.

"Brother Yanhui, this stone cave is so strange, it is all completely excavated by hand, except for the Panlong Road when I came, there is no road to other places?"

I paused lightly, pointed to my feet and said unhurriedly.

"We are at the top of the mountain, how can there be a road to other places, the entrance is at our feet."

Xiao Lianshan wiped the dust from the middle of the stone cave, and sure enough, he saw a circular mark, but it was tightly closed.

"Brother, how can I go down?"

"Put these statues in the right place, and the mechanism at the entrance will open." I looked at the statue in the middle and said calmly.

"What the hell are these statues, and how come they've never been seen before?" Yue Qianling looked around the statue for a long time and asked curiously.

"This is the eight gods, that is, Zhifu, Teng Snake, Taiyin, **, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Nine Lands, and Nine Heavens." Kong Guan said in a low voice behind him. "Among them, the first three ** positions of Zhifu, the god of Taiyin is in the first two, the last one is nine heavens in the first palace, and the last two gods are nine places."

"What are you doing with the statue of Yagami here?" Xiao Lianshan asked without understanding.

I looked around and answered intently.

"This is the Eight Gates Eight Gods Array, evolved from Qimen Dunjia, the Eight Gods are what Confucius said, the Eight Gates refer to the Eight Different Angles of Qimen Dunjia and according to the Bagua Direction, divided into the Door of Rest, the Gate of Life, the Door of Injury, the Gate of Du, the Gate of Jing, the Gate of Death, the Gate of Shock, and the Door of Opening, only the Eight Gods correspond to the correct Eight Doors Organ will be opened."

"That's easy, anyway, there is a lot of time, we can't try it one by one." Xiao Lianshan said disapprovingly.

"Try it casually, do you know what the Eight Gates and Eight Divine Arrays are called?" Kong Guan glanced at Xiao Lianshan coldly. "Dragonstone! This is a common anti-theft method of the imperial tomb, and it is more appropriate to use it here, the passage is under our feet, the Ming Fourteenth Tomb is built in the mountain, the passage down is where you see such a large circle, the groove under the eight statues is connected to a mechanism, once it is misplaced, the mechanism will trigger the boulder to block the passage, even if it is a wrong one, the entrance will be blocked. ”

"That'...... So who knows what the right place is? Yue Qianling said.

"Although the Eight Gates and Eight Divine Arrays seem complicated, they are only for dealing with tomb robbers." Kong Guan said calmly. "The Eight Gates and Eight Gods Array is an evolution of the Qimen Dunjia, as long as you are proficient in the number of Qimen, this Eight Gates and Eight Gods Array is not worth mentioning."

"Senior Kong is right, it's actually not difficult." I said with a faint smile. "I won't do anything else, this just happened to be what I saw in the ancient book before, Lianshan, you help me mark the correct location in the stone cave."

After Xiao Lianshan tested it, he quickly marked the correct position of the southeast, northwest and northwest.

I confidently walked under the statues and pointed to one of the statues.

"Straight Fu, for the god of Tianyi, the head of the gods, everywhere he goes, all evils dissipate, is one of the most auspicious and goodest gods, although Taibai Gengjin is the most fierce evil, but if it is under the value of the charm, it will disappear into the tomb, auspicious place can be told, the murder is not fierce, the sky begins with A, the earth begins with the son, the value of the symbol is the head of the six Jia, and lives in the territory, so it can be called the respect of Wanhui, the main east!"

Xiao Lianshan and the others hurriedly worked together to push the straight talisman into the groove due east, and the stone gate in the middle slowly opened with a bang, revealing the next stone door.

"Teng Snake Original God is the southern Bingding fire, its sex is consumable, for the god of deception, Teng Snake is the center of the Yin soil, its temperament is stubborn, tend to avoid three to avoid five, to avoid five is to avoid already, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui five dry and injury, Du, Jing, death, surprise five fierce doors." I pointed to the snake and continued. "Teng snake avoids five, the four main positions cannot be occupied, and the southeast position is favored!"

The statue of the snake is placed in a groove in the southeast position, and the second stone door is opened.

"Taiyin is the yin gold of the West, it is the god of Yin You, good at auspicious and auspicious good things, because of the Naxin, with the West to the palace, to the women, to the women, the women are all yin, its yang is poor, it is difficult to educate, so it is named Taiyin, its character likes to hide and be obscure, love to be quiet and not to move, the Lord of the West."

After the Taiyin statue was placed in the western recess, the third stone door was opened.

"**'s original god is Jiamu, Liujia's sister Liuyi is married to Gengjin, pregnant with Gengjin's fetus, Guimei and A, guarding the south, the ordinal number from A to Geng is six, so it's named**, the main south."

The statue opens the fourth stone door to the south.

I walked around the rest of the statues and pointed to the white tiger.

"The shape of the white tiger in the north of Gengjin, has been accepted Gengjin, Xun is the wind, the wind is from the tiger, the ordinal number from A to Geng is seven, and it should be the number of nine palaces and seven, so it is called the white tiger, it is the north of the town, the character is belligerent, fierce and unscrupulous, in charge of marching battles, murder and martial arts, diseases and deaths, roads are impassable and other funerals, the Lord of the north."

The fifth stone door slowly opened.

"The original god of Xuanwu is the western non-decant water, the water is black, and the center of the loess becomes its shape, so it is named Xuanwu, and it governs the northwest."

As I spoke, I pushed the Xuanwu statue into the northwest groove, and sure enough, the sixth stone door opened.

Wei Yu slowly walked to the statue in the middle, squirmed his lips a few times, and Kong Guan next to him said.

"He said that the Nine Lands and Nine Lands are the home of Kuntu, the mother of all things, and the symbol of obscurity, and most of the things he does are soft and respectful, modest and obedient, but it sometimes also exercises the power of life and death, which is half auspicious and half fierce, and the side of the nine lands can be garrisoned and defended, so the nine landlords are southwest."

I nodded, Wei Yu was really a hidden master, and he also knew everything about the Eight Gates and Eight Divine Arrays, and when Xiao Lianshan and I pushed the Nine Earth Statue to the groove, the seventh stone gate was opened.

"The last statue is Nine Heavens, and only the northeast remains." Gu Anqi asked with some excitement. "Brother Yan Hui, why is the Nine Heavens Lord in the northeast?"

"The nine heavens belong to the gold, the image of dryness, the righteousness of all things, the heavens begin with A, and the ordinal number from A to Ren is nine, so it is named Nine Heavens." I said with a calm smile. "Those who occupy the position of the Nine Heavens are much more right, and the Nine Heavens can raise troops to deploy the formation, so the Nine Heavens are in the northeast."

As everyone worked together to push the last Nine Heavens statue into the groove, the last stone door opened, revealing a staircase leading to the bottom.

When going down from the steps, only to see clearly the eight stone doors that have just been opened, rather than calling the stone gate better to call the stone pillar, a more pillar is two meters high, it takes three people to hold it, such a big stone pillar is several tons heavy, from top to bottom eight stone pillars neatly overlap together, blocking the road.

If you can't open the mechanism of the Eight Gates and Eight Divine Arrays, you won't be able to get down by manpower alone anyway.

Xiao Lianshan walked in the front, all of them were engrossed in this variety of organs, every step was taken carefully, and I suddenly heard Xiao Lianshan's extremely excited shouts from below.

"Gold! Bite...... Why so much gold! ”
