Chapter 42: The Tomb of the Four Directions

After listening to Professor Dong's analysis, Xia Longsheng seemed to realize that he was too impulsive just now, his face was ashamed, he lowered his head slightly, and stood aside without speaking.

Li Song stepped forward, picked up the fragment of the porcelain vase, sighed, and said, "Alas, it's just a pity that it's so haode Ming blue and white porcelain." ”

Huang Yixian frowned and said, "This blue and white porcelain vase should be the burial goods in the tomb, it seems that those tomb robbers have already done it." ”

"Didn't you say that there were bloody corpses in the tomb, aren't these guys afraid?" Li Song said.

Huang Yixian stared at the locked ghost door with his eyes, and said slowly: "Since these guys know how to set up a locked ghost door, they must have a way to deal with the blood corpse." ”

When Professor Dong heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Could it be that this tomb has been emptied by tomb robbers?" ”

Huang Yixian smiled and said, "That's not necessarily, if it's really as you said, there are a lot of treasures hidden in the tomb, then the tomb robbers may not have been able to transport the treasures out." ”

"Why does Mr. Huang think so?" Professor Dong asked.

Huang Yixian replied: "You see, they dug such a big robbery hole, they must know that there are a lot of treasures hidden in the tomb, and they must have planned to use a trailer to transport the treasures inside, but if you look at the ground, there are no traces of wheels, and there are not many footprints, which means that they have not started to transport treasures outside." ”

Professor Dong nodded: "Makes sense." ”

Seabeard wondered: "This is strange, since they have dug a thief hole without knowing it, Weishenme did not steal the contents of the mausoleum?" Isn't there a treasure in it? ”

"Not necessarily, judging from the methods of these guys, they should be quite professional inverted bucket experts, if they are not sure that there is something in the tomb, they will definitely not go to such great lengths to dig such a large robbery hole. Not to mention that such a locked ghost door is specially set up. ”

"Then why didn't you steal what's inside?"

Huang Yixian pondered for a while and said, "In my opinion, either they haven't found the treasure yet, or they have encountered some obstacle that makes them have to stop the treasure digging operation. ”

"Obstruction? They can deal with even blood corpses, what is the obstacle that can stop them? Professor Dong asked.

"Didn't you say that this mausoleum is divided into two layers of burial chambers, since the outer burial chamber is guarded by evil things such as blood corpses, then there are probably more powerful things in the inner burial chamber where the burial goods are placed, of course, it is also possible that they did not enter the inner burial chamber at all. The mechanism of the Ming Dynasty has reached the peak level, and the mechanism set up at that time may not be able to crack even with today's most advanced technology. ”

"Wait, what could be more powerful than a bloody corpse that you just said?"

"That's a lot! There are a lot of mysteries in this ancient tomb, in short, don't take it lightly, after you go in, don't touch things, so as not to accidentally trigger the mechanism, if you encounter something too evil, withdraw as soon as possible. ”

After Huang Yixian finished speaking, he walked to the locked ghost door, took a closer look, and said, "Let's open the lock on this door first." ”

Seabeard turned his head and shouted to Xia Longsheng: "Longsheng, don't be stunned, work!" ”

Xia Longsheng had been standing in front of Zuihou, and when he heard Seabeard calling himself, he immediately stepped forward with a large pair of pliers, and cut open the two mechanical locks on the door with three or five clicks.

Huang Yixian took a deep breath, held the door with both hands, and pulled it outward, only to hear a "creak", and the wooden door was slowly opened.

When I heard this sound, my heart was stirred, and I suddenly thought of something: I also heard such a sound when the wheat was ghosted that night. If it was only the ghost in the porcelain vase that was attached to the wheat, then why did he hear such a movement? Could it be that the door was open at the time? So who will open it? Is it a tomb robber, or is it a ghost in the tomb?

I was wondering in my heart, the wooden door had been completely opened, and an arched passage more than ten meters long appeared in front of me, the passage was very flat, the walls were paved with very hard bluestone bricks, and there was a stronger stale atmosphere inside. Obviously, this passage was not excavated by tomb robbers, but was originally part of the mausoleum!

At the end of the passage was a closed black arched door, and on top of the arch was carved a huge beast that looked like a turtle and a snake. As soon as Huang Yixian saw this arch, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he muttered, "This ...... How is this possible......"

"How can this tomb have two entrances!?" Professor Dong was also shocked.

Huang Yixian took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not just two, but four!" ”

"Four!?" Professor Dong became more and more shocked, "Mr. Huang, why do you think so? ”

Huang Yixian pointed his hand forward and said, "Look at the pattern on that door, it is Xuanwu, one of the four great spirit beasts. Guo Pu's note in the "Funeral Sutra" has clouds: "The scriptures say that the earth has four potentials, and the qi comes from all directions." Therefore, the burial is a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, a red bird in the front, and a Xuanwu in the back. Xuanwu hangs its head, the vermilion bird dances, the green dragon meanders, and the white tiger tames. Generally speaking, there is no birth gate in the tomb, but some ancient emperors and monks believed that they could be reborn after death, and often set up a tomb road connected to the outside world in the tomb, and the tomb road was generally set up in the white tiger position, because the white tiger position was the most dangerous, which could prevent people from using the tomb to enter the tomb and steal the burial items inside. But there is also a kind of mausoleum, which will set up a tomb road in each of the four directions, this kind of mausoleum is also called the Sifang Shengmen Tomb, such a mausoleum, often extremely dangerous. The location we are now in is the mountain behind this mausoleum, which is where the Xuanwu position is located, since the owner of the tomb has set up a tomb road here, it means that this mausoleum is probably a Sifang Shengmen tomb! ”

I couldn't help but wonder: "But how did these tomb robbers know that there was an entrance to the mausoleum in the back mountain?" And the robbery hole was hit so accurately, it actually hit the entrance of this tomb road. ”

Huang Yixian said: "It is definitely not the ordinary tomb robbers, it should be the gold school captain, the gold school captain robbed the tomb mainly rely on the feng shui, the weather, with the "Book of Changes" for the purpose, can accurately locate the acupuncture points of the ancient tomb, and then with the help of the Luoyang shovel to explore the soil layer, often eight or nine do not leave ten. ”

Professor Dong was slightly stunned: "Touching Captain Jin?" Could it be that the hydra did it? ”

"What is the origin of the hydra?" Huang Yixian asked.

"The Hydra is a transnational antiquities smuggling organization, the source of their antiquities is from some ancient tombs, this organization has destroyed many ancient tombs, causing huge losses to the country, the police have been tracking down the whereabouts of the main members of this organization, but so far, still nothing." At the mention of the hydra, Professor Dong looked a little angry.

Seabeard said worriedly: "The hydra has always been very rampant, and often empties all the items in the entire tomb, if they really do it, they are afraid that the items inside will ......."

Before Haibeard finished speaking, Huang Yixian waved his hand and said: "It shouldn't be, as the so-called 'touch the gold into the Quartet, the gods and ghosts are not strong', since this is a Sifang Shengmen tomb, it is not so easy for them to steal the things inside." ”

"Is the Sifang Shengmen Tomb so dangerous?" Professor Dong asked.

Huang Yixian said: "The Sifang Shengmen Tomb is very rare to see, the whole tomb is actually equivalent to a large tomb array, which can use the four veins of earth qi to gather yin and hide yang, and rebuild the universe, no one can say what evil things will be born in it." I guess those guys must have encountered obstacles inside, and they couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so they evacuated from it first and set up such a locked ghost door. ”

"But don't you know that there is already a tomb gate, why do they need to do more?" Asking, he asked.

"Although this tomb door can keep outsiders out of the tomb, it can also be opened from the inside. Just in case, it is naturally more reliable to set up another lock ghost door. Huang Yixian said, turned around and reminded everyone: "The ancient tombs of the Ming Dynasty are always equipped with hidden weapons, everyone can be careful later, remember not to touch foreign objects easily." ”

After speaking, Huang Yixian took the compass and stepped into the tomb with his legs raised, and we all walked in behind.

Although the tomb road is only more than ten meters long, Huang Yixian seems to be extra careful, not to mention the slow speed, every two steps, he will stop to look at the compass in his hand, and it takes five minutes before we walk to the arch.

This arch is about two meters high, the whole body is pitch black, the basalt pattern on it is slightly convex outward, the carving is very exquisite, the whole door does not know what material is made of, Li Song took out a portable spectrometer, stepped forward to test it, and said: "This is an iron door made of pig iron containing carbon elements, the carbon content is about 5%, and it also contains a small amount of tungsten, the hardness should be very high." ”

Seabeard frowned and said, "With such a thick iron gate, how did those tomb robbers get in?" ”

Professor Dong said: "I heard the surviving captain of the expedition team 30 years ago say that the tomb they entered was also blocked by a thick iron gate, and they tried a lot of ways at that time, but they couldn't open the iron door. How did these guys use to get into the tomb with the iron gate intact? ”

Huang Yixian looked up and looked around, and said, "They must have found the mechanism to open the door." ”

"Organs!? Mr. Huang, didn't you say that this door can only be opened from the inside? ”

"Generally speaking, the tomb door can only be opened from the inside, but there are some exceptions, presumably the tomb owner has also set up a mechanism to open the tomb door outside, everyone look carefully." Speaking of this, Huang Yixian hurriedly added: "However, after finding the mechanism, remember not to touch it, beware of fraud!" ”
