Chapter Seventy-Six: The Hanging Coffin
I didn't tell anyone else what happened when I went back, it involved too much, especially Yue Qianling, I didn't want her to be scared after she knew, I prevaricated and said that when I saw Gu Liancheng, I asked some details of the Longhu Mountain Xuanmen competition, I asked everyone to rest early, and go to Yueren's grave tomorrow, hoping to find the sealed mana before the competition began.
When everyone else went back, Wen Zhuo smiled casually and whispered to me about the necklace I took before, looking at his appearance, I knew that I couldn't hide it, he said that no matter how capable Xiao Lianshan was, he couldn't stop Wei Yong's palm print, and at that time, I knew that there was something wrong with the necklace by looking at my expression, so I nodded and told him about Gu Liancheng.
Wen Zhuo thought for a long time, and my thoughts were the same, something must have happened in the sacrificial palace thousands of years ago, but maybe it is not what I know now, they all said that this time Longhu Mountain will meet in the wind and clouds, presumably there will be a fierce battle on the top of this mountain, and the Xuanmen competition of Longhu Mountain will be inherited for thousands of years, in fact, what is waiting for the person with the character of Yingzheng to sacrifice Yugui again.
It's just that Wen Zhuo is also very strange about what Xu Fu did from my words, although his purpose is the same as Wei Yong, but I feel that he is helping me, maybe because of the guilt on his face, it is clearly not pretended, Wen Zhuo said that if Xu Fu intends to help me, not to mention that Lan Qing also has the same attitude towards this, her feelings for Yue Qianling are undoubted, even she is on Xu Fu's side, maybe Xu Fu is really on my side.
But he is one of the four great disciples, and between me, to be exact, and Yingzheng should be incompatible, why will he help me now, I thought about it all night and didn't have the slightest clue.
Early the next morning, we went to the Yueren Tomb, did not climb the mountain but chose to the foot of the Yueren Tomb, that is, under the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain, we stood in this position, the world's incredible cliff tomb was in full view, it was amazing.
There are hundreds of cliff tombs in Longhu Mountain, all of which are embedded in the cliffs of the Xianshui Rock area, and another more appropriate name of Xianshui Rock is the Yueren Tomb, the peaks of Xianshui Rock are steep and dangerous, the rock wall is smooth and flat, the foot of the rock is the Luxi River, the cliff cliff is full of all kinds of caves, and the unique geographical environment is the basic cause of the cliff tomb of Longhu Mountain.
The Luxi River, which meanders at our feet, stands by the river and looks up, and vaguely sees a rock cave mouth or nailing a wooden stake, or sealing a wooden plank, hiding a coffin and beating half of it can be seen in many places.
Most of these cliff tombs are the cliff tombs of the ancient Yue people in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,500 years ago and the Warring States Period, all of them are called the tombs of the Yue people, and their burial positions are more than 20 meters away from the water surface, and the height is more than 300 meters.
On the large rock wall, the caves are dotted, dotted, high or low, large or small, hundreds, Yue Qianling knows more about the hanging coffins of Longhu Mountain, telling us that because these caves are unattainable, no one enters, and the things hidden in them have been an unsolvable mystery for thousands of years.
Xu Fu only knew that Qin Yishou hid the Ming Fourteenth Tomb in a certain place in this star-packed hanging coffin cave, but he didn't know which one of the so many caves it was, even the closest to the ground was twenty meters, the rock wall was like a knife and axe, and it was difficult for birds and beasts to inhabit, let alone climb, Xiao Lianshan tried it, but he couldn't find a place to start climbing.
Now the top priority is to find the exact location of the Ming Fourteen Tombs first, as for how to go is a later story, these hundreds of caves are impossible, and there is no time to try them next to each other, and this is too risky, the slightest mistake will be shattered.
When I turned around, I found Ye Qingyu squatting on the edge of the rock and looking at the rushing river, the water source should have dried up slowly in autumn, but the river under our feet was turbulent, Ye Qingyu pointed to the river and asked us curiously what was in the river.
We looked down at the past, although the Luxi River is turbulent but the water is not turbid, through the water surface to see that there are colorful flowing in the deep place below, like a ribbon, we also feel strange after watching it for a long time, Xiao Lianshan found a bamboo pole to insert it into the water and stirred for a long time, and when the bamboo pole was brought up, what we saw on it was a wild flower that was submerged by the river, just like what we saw on the top of the mountain, these unknown wild flowers Xiao Lianshan used to give it to Gu Anqi.
How can a good wildflower grow at the bottom of the water, and it is obvious that this is not a wildflower growing in the river, Wen Zhuo picked up a stone by the river and looked at it for a long time and suddenly realized that it should be the river flood, before these wildflowers grew by the river, and now the Luxi River has increased its water potential and submerged the original wildflowers, so there will be the scene we see now.
Ye Qingyu's curiosity interrupted the purpose of our coming here, it can be regarded as an episode, I took out the hero jade cup that Yue Thunder handed over to me, if Zhu Yuanzhang intended to pass down the clues of the Ming Fourteenth Tombs, then the exact location hidden in the cave of this hanging wall mountain should also be in this cup.
I poured the wine into the glass, raised it above my head and let the light shine through the glass, and the pattern on it came out again, and I asked everyone else to come around and look at the pattern to brainstorm and see if there were other discoveries from different angles and thoughts.
I slowly turned the cup, the pattern on the cup body is like a picture of the landscape of Longhu Mountain, and the display is exactly where we are in the immortal rock, just come to the Luxi River below also see clearly, but unfortunately there is no half of the text, this pattern I have long been familiar with the heart, but I have not known where to start to decipher.
It stands to reason that there will be hidden clues in this pattern, Zhu Yuanzhang intends to leave it to future emperors, just a picture who can understand the meaning that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to convey, although I know that the Ming Fourteenth Tomb is very important to Zhu Yuanzhang, he will not obviously reveal the clues, but the clues left by this jade cup seem to be too general, I always feel that there is something missing in this pattern.
"Why does this bird look awkward?" Xiao Lianshan suddenly pointed to the south-flying geese on the body of the cup that swept past the immortal rock and asked.
Since it is a pattern that leaves clues, each place has a meaning, unfortunately, I have never understood the meaning of the existence of this line of wild geese flying south in this picture, Xiao Lianshan said that it looks awkward, I think he is talking about the number and arrangement of wild geese.
There are nine geese on the top and eight on the bottom, arranged in a herringbone pattern, the most important thing for the geese to fly south is the formation, and there is one less below, maybe there are isolated geese, I have thought about this aspect, but I have not come up with anything useful.
The hero jade cup can be called the treasure of the Ming Dynasty, it is not surprising that it is called a rare treasure, because it is the royal wedding jade, most of them are buried together when the emperor dragon returns to the sky, so there is basically no heirloom, even if there is, it is difficult to see the jade cup in my hand that is so well preserved.
Judging from the shape of the jade cup has been crafted and the decoration engraved on it, even if it is hidden in the body of the cup, this pattern is not far-fetched to be carved up, the mountains and rivers are extremely detailed, and the fairy spirit of the fairy water rock in the area of Longhu Mountain jumps in the picture.
However, if you have to say flaws, it should be this line of wild geese flying south, whether it is from the layout or artistic conception, this line of uneven wild geese give people a feeling of painting snakes to add more than one move, and the scenery described in the pattern is incompatible, if this jade cup is just an antique treasure, then this line of geese is a regrettable failure.
Zhu Yuanzhang is such a suspicious person, and he cares so much about the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, how could he let the clues left behind be flawed, such an obvious failure actually exists on the Heyu Cup, it must have a very special meaning.
Gu Anqi listened to what I said, carefully counted the number of geese above, and repeatedly read the numbers of nine and eight in his mouth, and said thoughtfully, the number of Heluo is respected by nine, and nine is the number of extreme yang, so there is a saying that the number of nine and five is the number of wood, also known as the number of Shaoyin, the connection between nine and eight before is too much, and the variables are greater, if it is not clear from what Zhu Yuanzhang specifically selected these two numbers, it is difficult to judge the meaning of the existence in this picture.
I just nodded in agreement with Gu Anqi's analysis, and I saw Xiao Lianshan raising his hand sideways, and his fingers were gesturing with strange movements, I had seen him make such a gesture in the secret room of the eldest master, he was now measuring the direction, and suddenly raised his head and said to us excitedly.
"Nine up, eight down! You guys think too complicated, it's the coordinates! It's the coordinates of the cave on this fairy water rock! ”
As soon as we heard it, we suddenly realized that although Xiao Lianshan's idea is simple, it is the most reliable, there are hundreds of caves on this Xianshui Rock, and the 14th Tomb of the Ming Dynasty is one of them, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to leave a clue, and he will definitely mark the exact location.
And in these hundreds of caverns, exactly one exact coordinate is needed to mark the location.
Nine up and eight down, that is to say, count the ninth row from the top to the bottom from the hanging wall of Xianshui Rock, and the eighth hanging coffin cave is the 14th Tomb of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone's face is full of sudden joy, but when we raise our heads to seriously measure the cave on the rock wall, slowly this joy disappears faintly on our face, the hanging coffins on the rock wall are scattered and there is no regularity at all, we can not accurately distribute the arrangement, whether it is nine and eight or eight, or eight and nine, there is no way to accurately locate on this rock wall, and the only feasible explanation is denied, and the coordinate theory proposed by Xiao Lianshan seems to be wrong.
I rubbed my forehead and sighed heavily, my eyes fell back on the Heyu cup, maybe I was too anxious, now it is difficult for me to analyze the clues above objectively, the more I look at the cup, the more upset I become, the more Qianling smiled at me, persuaded me not to be anxious, she took the Heyu cup and let us rest for a while.
