Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Nine-Square Grid
Just halfway to the place, Xiao Lianshan has been kneeling for so far, the cat's waist is really aggrieved, I want to raise my head to breathe, my head has just been raised, and the ten halls of Yama stone statues on both sides are hidden in various places with very delicate arrow holes, like a rainstorm pear flower needle shooting left and right.
The arrows shot out of the stone statue one after another, without stopping, shuttled on Xiao Lianshan's head like a rain of arrows, and Xiao Lianshan could even feel that several arrows were flying towards his scalp.
Although these mechanisms have passed for hundreds of years, once the power of the device is undiminished, many arrows have not been caught in the stone, and if they were shot at a person, they would have become hedgehogs.
"Lianshan, don't look up, keep your current height, hurry up, this is Zhuge Repeater, it won't stop!" I said aloud in the back anxiously.
Xiao Lianshan sweated like rain, and according to what I said, he knelt down to the other side of the passage in fear, and as soon as the person passed, he sat on the ground limp and gasped for breath.
"Zhu Chongba, this bastard is too vicious, such a mechanism can also be thought of, if I raised my head a little higher just now......"
Xiao Lianshan thought of this and felt afraid, I watched Xiao Lianshan in the back Although it was thrilling but unharmed, I let out a long breath and told the others again that it must be in a posture like Xiao Lianshan, otherwise it will touch the mechanism if it is too high, and if it is too low, I believe that the mechanism under the stone statue has not been touched, otherwise it will also be shot with ten thousand arrows.
I went the second time, and the others followed, and when everyone was safely on the other side of the road, I turned around and saw that the passage was already full of holes.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is really ruthless, he deliberately designed the passage to only one person to pass through, if the people who come in don't know the mystery and enter it, if they touch the mechanism, all the people will die in the passage!" Qiu Nuo took a deep breath and said with palpitations.
"It's not all bad, though, at least there's one good thing!" I fixed my mind and said.
"A good thing?! What good things can happen in this hellish place? Yue Qianling said uncertainly.
"That's right! And one more good thing. Yue Lei Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile. This organ is painstaking, people who don't know will definitely die with ten thousand arrows when they come in, but the passage just now is clean, which means that no one has been here, we are the first people to come in, and the Ming Fourteenth Tomb has not been opened! ”
I nodded and smiled, although Yue Thunder is not smart, but to settle down in the bloody rivers and lakes, the most important thing is to observe, observe all potential threats, and of course anything other than threats.
After passing through the passage is a much larger stone chamber, there are grooves in the stone wall, and the liquid in it is whale oil, which can be preserved for thousands of years, and is very resistant to burning, and is generally used for the ever-bright lamp of the mausoleum, I lit the whale oil in the groove, and suddenly realized that I was wrong again.
This boxy stone chamber is far larger than he thought, Yue Thunder's villa is about 300 square meters, and four such villas can be built in this stone chamber.
Everyone looked around and looked at each other without saying a word, and it had been a long time to get here, but there was nothing in this huge stone room.
Yue Thunder was a little stunned, and just said that no one had come in here, but when he saw this stone room, his heart was cold.
"Who the hell got the first step, moved it cleanly, and didn't say that I left a few pieces for me as a blessing."
"This is not the Fourteenth Tomb of the Ming Dynasty!" I didn't even think to say it lightly. "The 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is the place where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have buried gold, silver and jewelry every year, and the Ming Dynasty has a history of almost 300 years.
Yue Lei thought about it, and suddenly felt a lot better, but look at this stone room puzzled question.
"What are you doing with such a big room, and what kind of fame is Zhu Yuanzhang doing?"
"Do you see the stone gate across from us?" I pointed to the door opposite. "We're going to walk through this stone house and go to the other side!"
"It's as simple as that?" Xiao Lianshan asked
"Yes, it's that simple!" I replied.
After Xiao Lianshan asked, he remembered the dangerous scene in the passage just now, there can be no simple things in it, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be so kind as to make people go over easily.
"Brother Yanhui, have you noticed that the floor of this stone room seems to be regularly separated." Qiunuo lowered his head and looked at it for a long time and said.
"The room is divided into nine squares, and from the moment I came in, the three squares in front of us were engraved with the numbers eight, one, and six from left to right." Gu Anqi said seriously. "This is the nine-square grid!"
"I know the nine-square grid, wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two four for the shoulder, eight six for the foot, and five in the center." Yue Qianling nodded and said.
"Wait a minute, you are all knowledgeable people, can anyone tell me bluntly what the nine-square grid is?" Xiao Lianshan asked with an embarrassed smile.
"The nine-square grid is three horizontal and vertical rows, three numbers in each row, the first row is four, nine and two, the second row is three, five and seven, and the last row is the eight, one and six you see. I explained calmly.
Qiu Nuo looked at the divided lattice on the ground with a solemn face, and said worriedly.
"The nine-square grid was especially common in ancient times to be used as a mechanism, to get to the other side of the stone room, we must first pass through the nine-square grid in front of us, and only by walking through the correct grid will we be safe, otherwise the mechanism will be triggered."
Everyone has seen the power of the arrow rain just now, but this room is so spacious and there are no dead ends, once the mechanism is activated, if the arrow rain just now is shot from all directions, I believe that no one in this stone room will survive.
"Since Zhu Yuanzhang arranges the nine-square grid here, he will definitely leave a hint, and everyone will look for it separately, but remember not to touch it into the grid." I said calmly.
The stone house was lit up by burning whale oil, and the stone wall on the right side of the room was soon found to have words, I walked over, there were six lines of words on the wall, from top to bottom:
Jian Ge Xiu pointed to regret the vastness,
One person builds a city for thousands of miles.
Panlong eternal longevity in the world,
There are still people in the world who dominate.
The bright waves overturned the lonely boat,
However, the sin has provoked the hatred of the heavens.
On the stone wall on the left, Xiao Lianshan also found words, but it was different from the one on the right, only one sentence.
There is also clear light all over Kyushu.
The words on the wall have a total of seven sentences, which should be a hint left by Zhu Yuanzhang to the nine-square grid in the stone room.
I took a deep breath, let's not talk about how to crack these words, seven sentences will accidentally take seven steps in the nine square grid, and these seven steps must be correct, any wrong step may touch the mechanism.
Yue Lei Ting looked up at the words on the wall, confused.
"I really obeyed this Zhu Yuanzhang, I have done so many things, I have been dazzled by these words, what does it mean."
"The more complicated it is, the more Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to it, it can be seen that the things in this secret room are extraordinary, and it is likely to be the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty!" I'm serious.
Qiunuo looked at the time and said calmly.
"Regardless of whether the stone room is behind the Ming Fourteenth Mausoleum or not, but our time is running out, the monks in the Great Ci'en Temple will get up at five o'clock in the morning every morning to do morning classes, and now it's two o'clock!"
"It's useless to be in a hurry, everyone has seen the mechanism just now, the further back you go, the more powerful the mechanism will be, you can't decipher these words, who dares to go over." Liu Hao said upset.
I asked Yue Qianling to copy down all the words on the wall, and I looked down and thought about the meaning of the first sentence.
Jian Gexiu pointed to regret.
I walked back and forth a few steps, repeating this sentence in my mouth, and said lightly.
"Judging between the lines, Jian Ge should refer to war, and Hugh refers to the meaning of stopping. What does this mean? ”
"Could it be that the vast will refer to the world, and it is a pity that the vast may mean that Zhu Yuanzhang regrets not meaning to unify the world?" Gu Anqi said.
"Probably not, Zhu Yuanzhang used Li Shanchang's strategic policy of building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king to grow stronger, and occupied the entire north at a very small cost, so as to dominate the world and establish the Ming Dynasty." Yue Qianling knows a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty.
"Vast ......?" My eyes lit up. "There are two meanings here, the first is indeed the world, in fact, according to the territory, Zhu Yuanzhang really did not dominate the world, he established the Ming Dynasty, but did not completely overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty fled to the northern region, deep into the desert, and the vast actually refers to the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who fled to the desert."
"Then the meaning of this sentence together is to stop the war against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north." Gu Anqi still didn't understand. "Yes...... But what are the tips? ”
"If it's a number, it's not right, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the war against the Northern Yuan forces in the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, there are two and nine, but there are no two numbers in the first row of the nine-square grid." Yue Qianling said with some disappointment.
"That's not necessarily, you can think that the time is actually very close, you just don't know how to work." I suddenly smiled lightly.
"You are flexible! You come, you say a number to see. ”
"The nine-square grid to be prompted in the first sentence is eight!" Qiuno said.
I looked approvingly at Qiunuo who spoke.
"You thought of it too."
"Eight? Why eight? ”
Yue Qianling bit her lip and regretted why she didn't expect it, and said complainingly.
"Zhu Yuanzhang launched the last Northern Expedition in the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, which was also the eighth Northern Expedition, and he has been recuperating since then.
