Chapter 16: The Altar Mechanism

On the way back, I kept thinking about what Gu Anqi said when she left.

Gu Anqi's appearance was actually very surprising to me, indicating that the people who knew about this ancient tomb were not only Yue Thunder, but Gu Anqi obviously had something to say, and reminded me several times not to go in, and Gu Anqi seemed to have a lot of research on feng shui, and it was obvious that Gu Anqi knew something I didn't know.

I now know that it is not an ancient tomb or an altar below, and I don't know Gu Anqi's reaction to this, what is in it that makes Gu Anqi so nervous.

According to what Yue Lei Ting said, this Huang Ye, who spared no expense to ask him to dig the grave, came for a book, what kind of book would make this Huang Ye care so much.

These questions have been haunting my mind, and I didn't speak on the way back, but I couldn't figure it out.

"Wild goose back? How...... What do you think? ”

As soon as I looked up, I saw Yue Thunder standing in front of me, perhaps out of curiosity, and now even I want to go in and see what is inside.

Huo Qian told me that Yue Lei Ting had been standing downstairs almost all night, he was next to Yue Lei Ting, he hadn't slept all night, his face was haggard, and I saw Yue Lei Ting's hands shaking.

"Brother Ting, I found the entrance."

Yue Lei Chang breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and muttered to himself: "Thank God, thank God." ”

Huo Qian's tired face also showed a smile and came over to say.

"Yan Hui, you and Lianshan go to rest first, and I'll arrange for Liu Hao to do the rest of the work."

I shook my head and said with some anxiety.

"Brother Ting, I'll go with you, although the entrance has been found, I'm afraid it's not so simple to get in."

Looking at Lei Ting's expression, of course he hopes that I can go with him, since the incident of his birthday and Zhong Weiguo, he seems to feel that I am doing everything steadily.

"Huo Qian, you inform Liu Hao to prepare manpower, you can't dig too ostentatious during the day, let's wait until it's dark and then go over, we must dig in tonight, I want to see what is buried in the tomb that almost killed me."

Waiting until it was dark, Yue Lei Ting and I set off, and on the way there, I told Yue Lei Ting and Huo Qian about the process of my investigation.

"Is it an altar?!" Huo Qian was also surprised. "If it's an altar, then it's the past, no wonder I can't find the entrance, it turns out that someone is deliberately hiding."

Yue Thunder frowned when he heard that it was the altar.

"You said this Huang Ye, let me dig some altar, what rare things can be in this altar, I have been working for so long, and I don't know what medicine he buys in his gourd."

When the car stopped, Liu Hao was already waiting with someone, and Yue Lei looked back at me.

"Yanhui, where is the entrance?"

I walked over to the edge of the pond and tilted my head in certainty.

"This is the entrance."

"Reservoir...... Is the reservoir the entrance? Liu Hao touched his chin and hesitated.

Yue Thunder said with a wave of his hand.

"Yan replied that it must be here, send someone down to have a look."

Huo Qian looked around and was also a little confused, and came over and asked me how do I know that this pond is the entrance?

I told him that the feng shui layout here is the cuckoo crying blood, all relying on the altar below to live, but the cuckoo crying blood feng shui bureau is too heavy, here surrounded by mountains and the qi gathers and can not spread, the mountain behind the altar points to the Wuqu star in the sky, the Wuqu star is the main martial arts, which means to wave millions of soldiers, and Wangguya is a spear stained with blood to stab the emperor star, which means to smash the Yellow Dragon, but here the anger is too heavy to sink at the bottom of the mountain, unable to rise around the spear, and it will not reach the meaning of the cuckoo crying blood. ”

"You're saying that it takes these accumulated anger to rise in order to be the real cuckoo crying blood!" Huo Qian nodded suddenly in realization.

I nodded and pointed to the pond and said confidently.

"This pond is like a bronze mirror inlaid by three mountains, the mirror faces the sky, and the moonlight will reflect in it, this is the mirror flower water moon!"

Huo Qian's eyes lit up and he nodded slowly.

"I understand that the anger can't rise, so I do the opposite, and reflect the natural stars in the pond, so that the accumulated anger is covered on the pond, and the cuckoo cries blood feng shui pattern becomes."

"The mountain is yin, the light is yang, and all other places are the gates of death, only this pond is the only living door in the cuckoo crying blood bureau because it reflects the moonlight, and the water is the first of all states, it can contain all things and separate all things at the same time, and the water in this pond can just stop the accumulated anger from penetrating into the altar." I say.

The person sent down surfaced and said excitedly.

"Boss, this pond is very deep, and you can't see it below, but when you dive to a place of more than ten meters, there is an iron door lock on the edge of the pond that can't be opened."

Yue Lei Ting heard that there was indeed a clue, grinned and nodded at Liu Hao.

"Get a few more pumps and drain this pond!"

Liu Hao hurriedly arranged for someone to find a water pump, and after setting it up, it took an hour to pump, but the water level in the pond still didn't go down, and Yue Lei Ting walked back and forth anxiously next to him.

I picked up a few pebbles from the pumped water, looked at them, and hurriedly asked that I didn't need to pump them, because the water couldn't be pumped no matter how much I pumped.

"The Wild Goose Returns...... This...... What's going on? Yue Thunder panicked when he heard it.

I handed the pebbles in my hand to Yue Lei Ting and said: "This pebble is formed after countless years of water impact, it is impossible for there to be so many such smooth pebbles in this pond, this only shows that the pond and the underground river are connected, these pebbles are brought to the pond by the underground river, no matter how much you pump, you can't drain the underground river." ”

"What then? If you can't drain the water in the pond, how do you get in? Liu Hao wiped the sweat from his face and asked.

"Since there is a door underneath, it will definitely be opened, and then send someone down to see if there is anything else around the iron gate." I say.

"Don't be so troublesome, isn't it just an iron gate." Liu Hao turned his head and said to the person next to him. "Go down to ten people, bring tools and pry the iron door open for me."

I just wanted to stop it, more than a dozen people had already jumped in, Yue Thunder saw that I was nervous, walked over and smiled easily, some things have to rely on stupid methods, how can there be a door in the world that can't be opened.

I secretly feared that the altar was so intricately designed that the people who built it must have calculated that if someone stumbled upon the entrance, it would be ......

As soon as I thought of this, I heard someone shouting at the pond.

"There's blood, there's blood!"

I hurriedly walked over, and the moonlit pond was covered with layers of blood in several places, slowly spreading in the pond, and then a few people poked their heads out of the pond and swam to the shore with a few other fainted people.

"There is a mechanism down there, and as soon as the iron door is pried, something shoots over, and several brothers are injured."

Xiao Lianshan pulled up the injured people from the shore, one of them was full of rusted short arrows stuck in his back, Xiao Lianshan pulled out a flashlight and looked at it.

"This is an arrow shot from a strong crossbow, it has a strong penetrating power at close range, look at the blood he sheds is bright red, fortunately the arrow is not poisonous, it may be a long time, the shooting power of the strong crossbow is not very strong, otherwise people who go down will not survive."

"Damn, I'm full and have nothing to do, and there is a mechanism under the water according to the door, who thought of this idea." Yue Thunder touched the board and walked back and forth distraught.

"If it's a door, it will definitely be opened, and since it's a mechanism, there must be a switch." I advise Yue Thunder not to be in a hurry.

"Go down a few more people and see if there's anything else around the iron gate." The more thunder said anxiously loudly.

Looking at the screaming people lying on the shore in pain, Liu Hao's subordinates were all afraid, and no one dared to move.

"Brother, I'll go." Xiao Lianshan said while undressing.

I hurriedly told him to go down and just watch, and not to move anything.

Xiao Lianshan nodded nonchalantly and jumped into the pond, I rubbed my fingers and watched anxiously at the changes in the pond.

It didn't take long for Xiao Lianshan to surface, wiping the water on his face and saying loudly.

"Brother, there are a lot of words next to the iron door, it seems that you can press it."

"Yes, we saw it too, and thought it was okay and pressed it casually, but the arrow was shot." One of the men lying on the ground said with a pained expression.

I thought about it and asked Xiao Lianshan, what was the arrangement of the words he saw?

"Arrangement?" Xiao Lianshan spit out a mouthful of water in his mouth and said. "I don't know what arrangement, anyway, a boxy iron frame is densely packed with words."

"Boxy?" I repeated Xiao Lianshan's words and asked again. "What color is the word?"

Xiao Lianshan frowned and thought about it carefully, and said affirmatively.

"There are black and white, but the arrangement seems to be white and black, and I am dazzled to see it."

Hearing this, I already understand a little, this is a very common mechanism, mostly used in tombs and secret passages, I told Xiao Lianshan that this is a mechanism evolved from the nine-square grid of Heluo.

"Nine square grids!" Huo Qian walked up to me and said. "Isn't there only nine numbers in the nine-square grid, I heard Lianshan say that the words below are dense, more than nine."

"Of course, there are more than nine words, cuckoo crying blood is the bureau of Qimen Dunjia, of course, the organs are arranged according to the number of Qimen, Qimen Dunjia is composed of the combination of elements such as Tianpan, Earth, People, Bagua, Eight Gates, Eight Gods, Nine Palaces, Nine Stars, Heavenly Stems, Earth Branches and Twenty-four Solar Terms, etc., there are a total of one thousand and eighty rounds, so the words on it are also one thousand and eighty." I say.

"Ahh So many words?! The more thunder listened to it in a daze and said anxiously. Which of these words is the mechanism to open the door? ”

"There aren't few, just one!" I said it to the point. "There is only one in the Qimen Dunjia that is a living door, since it is a mechanism distributed according to the number of Qimen, of course the switch is one of the thousand and eighty words."

"There's only one!" Yue Thunder's eyes widened, one word in one thousand and eighty words was the mechanism to open the door, even if he called all the people under his command, it was not enough to be shot by the strong crossbow below, and the more Thunder was more irritated when he found the entrance and couldn't get in.

I smiled lightly and turned my head to Xiao Lianshan in the water and said.

"Lianshan, don't you believe me."

"Brother, look at what you said, say it, which one?" Xiao Lianshan smiled innocently.

"Count nine rows from top to bottom, and then count from left to right to the fifth word, don't press, take this word as the base point, and then count three words up, or don't press, and then count seven words backwards down, don't press, count one word up again, and then press down!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Lianshan dived without thinking about it.

I looked at the ripples caused by Xiao Lianshan diving down, and I also sweated in my heart, after all, it was difficult to find the right word out of one thousand and eighty words.

"I also have some understanding of the number of nine palaces, but how can you be so sure that the word you calculated is the mechanism that opens the door?" Huo Qian asked me.

"The number of Heluo wears nine shoes and one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, with five in the center, the following organs are based on the number of Heluo and then combined with the evolution of Qimen Dunjia, and even the mountain says that there are two colors of black and white, which just confirms my inference." I replied.

"Even so, you have to find a basis point, how do you calculate this?" Huo Qian still didn't quite understand.

"The cuckoo crying blood is the bureau of killing the emperor and abolishing the emperor, the emperor is the respect of the ninety-five, the base point is, of course, the number of the ninety-five, that is, the ninth row from top to bottom, the fifth word from left to right, the white circles of the five sides are all yang numbers, and the black dots in the four corners are yin numbers, and then every three retreats and seven into one, which is a very profound deduction mantra in Qimen."

Huo Qian was a little confused when he heard it, he had never even heard of such a profound Qimen technique, after I finished speaking, I saw that the suddenly calm water in the pond began to swirl and roll, and then slowly regained its calmness.

Xiao Lianshan poked his head out of the water, wiping the water on his face with a simple smile.

"The door is open!"
