Chapter 80: Long Live the King Fishes Only Dragons
Yue Qianling was also a little hesitant, after all, it is a wild history For a person who studies archaeology, these are heresies, if I believed that she would have scoffed at it before, but maybe it was the experience of these years that made her, like me, respond to Wu Zetian's words, history is always written by the king, and how much truth and falsehood can be recorded in a few strokes of a history book.
Yue Qianling told us that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't catch a fish and showed a displeased, Xie Jin realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang, although the fish was small, he also understood etiquette, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand why he said this, Xie Jin is known as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty, and his poetry is unique, and he answers calmly.
Several feet of silk fell into the water, and the golden hook was thrown away. No fish dares to face the Son of Heaven, long live the king only fishing for dragons.
I was stunned, and Wen Zhuo had the same expression as me, he jumped down from the rock above, and without saying a word, he walked directly to the jade cup held by Xiao Lianshan and Ye Qingyu, and looked at it for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled.
I also smiled faintly, and finally understood the meaning of this pattern, so it seems that this wild history may not be hearsay, several feet of silk fell into the water, just like the Luxi River that seems to flow like brocade with the change of color on the same pattern.
Today's water is turbulent and rushing, which just confirms that the golden hook is gone, and we have always wondered that there is no catch at all from fishing here, not just that the fish in the third sentence dare not face the sky.
And the last sentence Long live the king only fishes dragons, Gu Anqi listened to me interpret the first three sentences, and asked puzzledly, could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang is here to catch dragons, Gu Anqi said this, and the eyes of others invariably fell on the candle Jiuyin coiled with the upper toes of Yue Qianling's fingertips, I know that they have palpitations in their hearts and everything they have encountered in the Jieshi Palace at the bottom of the sea, maybe there are some dangerous things guarding this Ming Fourteenth Mausoleum.
Wen Zhuo smiled very easily, and asked Gu Anqi disappreciatively, Long live the king only fishes dragons, where is this dragon, Gu Anqi replied without thinking.
"...... underwater"
Gu Anqi stopped in the middle of speaking, her mouth slowly opened, I saw that everyone else had the same reaction as her, and then said ecstatically, we have been focusing on the hanging wall, thinking about how to go to the hanging wall, and the preconceived idea is that the entrance will also be on the hanging wall.
And this last sentence just tells us where the entrance is.
Long live the king only fishes dragons, and the so-called hidden dragons in the abyss are not used, and the entrance is not on the top, but under the river where Zhu Yuanzhang fishes.
If you want to fish for dragons, you must first go down to Longtan, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to convey in the pattern of fishing Luxi River alone, the best water among us is Xiao Lianshan, we are still immersed in the joy of discovering the entrance, and when we look back, we see Xiao Lianshan taking off his clothes and shoes.
Although I know the location of the entrance, but this Luxi River is now the river news let Xiao Lianshan go alone, I don't worry, Xiao Lianshan squatted on the river and poured water on his body to adapt to the temperature, and said with a nonchalant face, how dangerous this Luxi River can be, no matter how wide and deep it is, he has swam through, not to mention that the Taoist priest said that it will be flooded here in a few days, and now is the best time to go down, and there is no time to compete for a few days, and there is no chance if you miss it.
I understand what Xiao Lianshan said, he always takes the lead in danger, I tied the rope to him with my own hands, didn't say anything but patted him on the shoulder, and everyone else told Xiao Lianshan to be careful, don't force it, if you can't find it, come up, Gu Anqi hugged Xiao Lianshan's clothes, although he didn't speak, his eyes were more worried and nervous than any of us.
I fixed the rope on the rock, Wen Zhuo and I pulled the rope tightly, Xiao Lianshan took a deep breath and disappeared in front of us in the endless Luxi River, Wen Zhuo and I loosened the rope in our hands, judging from the length, the depth of Xiao Lianshan's dive was not shallow.
In the absence of other auxiliary tools, Xiao Lianshan went down to find the entrance in one go, and this is also our inference, as for whether the entrance is below, I am afraid that we will only know when Xiao Lianshan comes up, if such a rapid water flow misses slightly, it will be fatal if it hits the rock at the bottom of the water.
No one on the shore spoke, everyone quietly stared at the water, the rope in my hand no longer extended, there had been no movement for a long time, I secretly calculated in my heart the time for Xiao Lianshan to go down, if it exceeded the limit I had set in advance, no matter what the result I would pull him up.
Even Wen Zhuo, who has been hanging on his son, has a serious face at the moment, Xiao Lianshan has been down for a long time, Gu Anqi has long been unstable, Wen Zhuo found that something was wrong, he and I were about to pull the rope in our hands, when we saw Xiao Lianshan poking his head out of the water, I closed my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Lianshan wiped a handful of water on his face, and we were all happy to see that he was safe, but no one spoke until now, since Xiao Lianshan was safe and sound, what we cared about was another thing, and we all looked at him expectantly.
Until Xiao Lianshan showed a simple smile and pointed to the water under him.
"This place is really strange, looking at the water from above, after diving down, I found that the water flow below is very smooth, it should be specially selected, I have checked, there is a horizontal stone in the water in front of it just blocking and delaying the flow of water......"
"No one asks you this, what's down there?" Wen Zhuo was anxious to hear it, and interrupted Xiao Lianshan's words with a smile.
"There's an entrance!"
It is difficult to describe our current mood in words, it seems to remind me of a few years ago when I found the Ming Fourteen Tombs of the Great Master Sea with everyone, there is an inexplicable sense of achievement, the entrance is really under the water, which coincides with Zhu Yuanzhang's perverse character, who would have thought that he would arrange the entrance of the Ming Fourteen Tombs in the hanging wall under the water.
Listening to Xiao Lianshan's description, it seems that there is no danger under the water as I expected, Wen Zhuo went down the second, and I let the three girls then dive into the bottom of the water together under the protection of Xiao Lianshan, and the rope was left on the shore for fear of attracting the attention of others, after all, this Ming Fourteenth Tomb is very important, and there are too many people and things that I can't see through on this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, not to mention that I haven't encountered the mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches in the future, so I untied the rope fixed on the rock before I went down, and when I went down, I didn't leave the slightest clue.
As Xiao Lianshan said, the underwater water flow is much smoother, I can't feel the overwhelming impact on the water surface, I can calmly identify the direction and follow Xiao Lianshan to swim to the bottom of the water without much effort, Xiao Lianshan opened a dense aquatic weed, revealing a deep waterway, we have been swimming forward after passing through the waterway, I feel that I am slowly floating, until Xiao Lianshan and I have come out of the water, and everyone else is waiting on the shore.
Wen Zhuo lit the torch, this is a small stone cave, I judged according to the direction of swimming before, we are now in the Xianshui Rock, the design of the entrance is actually very simple, but first dig a U-shaped passage from the Xianshui Rock downward, and the entrance is connected to the Luxi River.
Yue Qianling said that this design is often used in ancient tombs, mainly for anti-theft, but the design of this entrance is far more simple than we see, and the river news of the Luxi River has a great relationship, in fact, the entrance at the bottom of the river is blocked by aquatic plants, the surrounding rocks are moving, pulled by the mechanism, the principle is like a jack, when the river news does not come, there is no water seepage in the mechanism, the original river bottom entrance will be closed by huge and heavy rocks, and when the river news arrives, the water level rises, The pressure generated by the flow of river water into the mechanism will open the stone door that had previously closed the entrance.
That's why, for so long, no one has discovered the secret hidden at the bottom of the river, and no one will dive down during the river news, and certainly will not find the entrance that has been opened.
I nodded suddenly, this is also Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to use Huang Chao's poems to annotate the pattern on the jade cup, the first sentence of which is to wait until September 8 in autumn, in fact, to convey the only feasible time to open the 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty.
The torch in Wen Zhuo's hand illuminated the stone cave, a line of steps spread upward, and finally disappeared into the darkness, the landform of Xianshui Rock is a typical Danxia Mountain landform of Longhu Mountain, and it is relatively easy to excavate, but the difficulty of building such a project in the mountain can be imagined, except for the emperor who has everything, it is estimated that it is difficult for others to do.
Wen Zhuo walked in front with a torch, we all firmly believe that what awaits us at the end of this step is another long-awaited Ming Fourteen Tombs, I walked at the back, holding another torch, the steps seem to be extending without end in the firelight, but from a steep angle, it is taking us to the direction of Changping Jiu'antai, which shows that our previous inference is completely correct.
In this confined and dark space, the concept of time slowly became blurred, and we didn't know how long we walked, when we suddenly found that the people in front of me had stopped, and I knew that it should have arrived, and I was a little nervous to climb the last step of the stairs.
Everyone else stood in front, no one spoke, I walked out slowly, the space here is so large that it is difficult for the torches in my hands and Wen Zhuo to illuminate all of this place, Gu Anqi found the oil that should be left for lighting next to me, I lit the oil in the groove of the stone wall, and with the rapid spread of the fire, we finally saw clearly where we were standing now.
This is a much larger and more empty stone cave, obviously carefully arranged here, with a white light flickering at the top, which reminds me of the gems in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that others have described to me, although it is not as luxurious as it is, but this white and shiny top is actually made of crystals when you look closely.
When the fire reached the end, we were all dumbfounded for a long time without speaking, and opposite us was a dragon with teeth and claws.
