Chapter 528: Finding the Entrance
After checking it several times in a row, we still found nothing, and we couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and my cousin's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Cousin, we've checked it several times, but we didn't find any organs, I guess you guessed wrong this time", Sister Li muttered beside her.
My cousin nodded and whispered, "Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe we've found the wrong way." ”
At this point, we all stopped, stood by and looked at my cousin, since we didn't find the mechanism on this stone, what should we do next?
My cousin also stood beside him with his arms crossed, not saying a word, his eyes still staring at the stone, when a strong mountain wind blew, and the stone suddenly made a strange sound, which was very similar to that of Gu Xun, melodious and low, and revealed a kind of mystery.
When my cousin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked us excitedly, "Did you hear that?" The sound made by the stone. ”
We were all dazed, and the wind blew through the stones to make a sound, which is normal in the mountains, so what's so strange? As for what his cousin meant, Old Man Yuan seemed to understand, and said excitedly: "You mean, this stone is a man-made 'Xun Stone Tablet'?" ”
The cousin nodded vigorously: "That's right, this boulder is the 'Xun Stone Tablet'." ”
"What is a 'Xun Stone Tablet'? What are you two talking about, why don't we understand it at all? I couldn't help but ask.
Old man Yuan and his cousin were very excited, and they didn't pay attention to my question, and Old Man Yuan continued to say with bright eyes: "Now we know where the mechanism is hidden in this stone. ”
The cousin quickly circled around the stone, then pointed to a position under the stone, and said to Xiao Lei: "Xiao Lei, you dig down from this position with a sapper shovel." ”
Xiao Lei immediately took out the sapper shovel, and just dug down a few times, and found that it was empty, and what surprised us even more was that there was a stone handle inside, and the end of the stone handle was connected to the boulder.
Xiao Lei stretched out his hand and pulled the handle, and suddenly, I heard a commotion from the crater, and we hurriedly looked into the crater and found that the crack really appeared! It turned out that the mechanism was this stone handle, but none of us thought that this mechanism was buried under the ground.
At this time, the bright sunlight shone through the crack, and almost at the moment of the crack, a scream came from the crack. The scream was faint, as if it had come from deep underground, but it sounded very miserable and terrifying, it sounded like a human scream, but if you listened closely, it looked like a beast.
We know that in the mysterious space below, perhaps for hundreds of millions of years, there has never been direct sunlight penetrating it, and now once the sunlight reaches that mysterious space, I don't know what impact it will have on it.
My cousin immediately pulled the handle again, and the crack closed again, and it was calm again. At this time, we all realized that my cousin's guess was completely correct, and there was indeed a mechanism on this boulder that allowed the crack to open and close.
"I just observed it and found that a small piece of grass here had withered, so I knew that this piece of soil must have just been turned over, so I asked Xiao Lei to dig down from here, but I didn't expect to find the mechanism."
When my cousin said that, we knew what was going on.
"Actually, the entrance to the underground space, we have now found two," said the cousin, gazing at the crater, with a sigh of relief.
We were all taken aback, the two entrances to the space, but it was obviously one, that is, the crack that had just appeared, could there be other entrances besides that crack.
Old Man Yuan also nodded and said, "The other entrance is inside this boulder, and the middle part of this boulder should be hollow and lead directly to that space." ”
Old man Yuan and his cousin's singing and harmonizing made us even more confused. How did these two men know? Under our inquiry, my cousin slowly explained: "When a gust of wind blew just now, this stone actually made that kind of Xun sound, you may think that it is not a big fuss, because when the wind blows through many stones, it will make a sound, but I want to say that the stone that can make this kind of Xun sound is definitely not naturally formed, but artificially made, because only hollow stones, when the wind blows, will make that kind of Xun sound."
Let's think about it, under natural weathering, the stone may appear in various shapes, but there will never be a hollow boulder, so this boulder has been processed by someone, and the inside has been hollowed out, and what surprised me even more is that this boulder is actually a tombstone, this kind of tombstone is called 'Xun Stone Stele'. ”
"We just heard from you, but what is this 'Xun Stone Tablet'?" Kenya asked.
"About this kind of 'Xun Stone Tablet', Mr. Yuan knows better than me, let's listen to his explanation."
Hearing what his cousin said, Mr. Yuan was not particularly humble, nodded slightly and said: "Well, the 'Xun Stone Stele' is a unique stele in the Ming Dynasty, and the legend has it that it appeared from Zhu Yuanzhang's time.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there was a sect called 'Mingjiao', it is said that this sect has a special ability to make people who have died within three hours still be able to stand up and walk, similar to chasing corpses, but the kind of corpses are actually deceptive - it is just to tie the body of the dead to the living person, and then cover it with a wide robe, and then carry it on the back of the living, the purpose of this is to cheat money.
But it is said that this kind of magic of the 'Ming Sect' does make all the dead people strip naked, and then they do it, and the dead people will stand up and walk a distance on their own.
And even the beheaded person can stand up and walk by using this spell of the 'Ming Sect', so just through the spell of guò, the 'Ming Sect' has recruited a large number of believers.
When 'Mingjiao' does this method, it is to blow a special kind of Xun, so people know that 'Mingjiao' is good at using Xun to summon spirits, and even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are convinced of this.
Therefore, later after the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and even the princes and ministers died, they would find the people of the 'Ming Sect' to make a 'Xun Stone Tablet' for them, which is said to have a magical function, that is, when the wind blows, it will blow out a sound like Xun, and this sound can summon spirits and make the dead have the possibility of resurrection.
As for whether it can be resurrected, it is unknown, but there is such a 'Xun stone tablet' tomb, the corpses inside will not decompose, in the archaeological time, this situation has been found more than once - that is, the corpses in the tomb, even did not decompose at all, but once exposed to the air, within a few minutes, the corpse will become charred black, and soon carbonized.
It is certain that there is a kind of 'Xun Stone Tablet' tombs, all of which are tombs of the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of tomb will not appear in the previous and subsequent dynasties, and the tomb owners who can have this kind of 'Xun Stone Tablet' are all prominent in status, and ordinary people cannot afford to build such tombs. ”
After Old Man Yuan's explanation, we knew what this 'Xun Stone Tablet' was all about. If it is really as Old Man Yuan said, then this should be a tomb, and it is an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, but how is this possible?
Because we all know that the space under that crater is actually the refuge of Xuan Heng and Zhu Leting, not a tomb at all, so what's going on with this 'Xun Stone Tablet'?
The cousin suddenly said: "There is a possibility, this 'Xun Stone Tablet', in addition to leading to the space below the crater, also leads to another ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and the ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty should be Zhang Liangchen's." Through the history books, we can know that Zhang Liangchen liked to cultivate immortals and practice Buddhism all his life, and when he was alive, he spent a lot of money to build a tomb for himself.
Therefore, it is impossible for him not to understand the popular 'Xun Stone Tablet' at that time, and it is very likely that it was used on his own tomb, hoping that with this method, he can bring himself back to life, or immortality. ”
"The inside of this boulder leads to two places, in fact, this is a good proof, we dig down this boulder, and we should be able to see where it leads."
Xiao Lei Ti yì said.
After listening to Xiao Lei's mention, my cousin nodded, and said with emotion: "Xiao Lei is right, let's try this method, because now time is pressing, Professor Shan's life and death are uncertain, and Xuanheng's situation is also extremely critical, we can't wait any longer, as long as there is a little clue, we must seize it and chase it to the end." ”
After Xiao Lei and I took turns sapping and digging for forty or fifty minutes, a strange scene appeared - at the bottom of the stone, there were indeed two separate holes, and these two holes were circular and very regular circles, and at a glance we knew that they were built artificially.
The cousin suddenly said excitedly: "As long as these two holes are dug out, there is no worry that Zhang Liangchen will not come out, judging from various signs now, Zhang Liangchen is also afraid of light, and when it comes to daytime, they will close the space, and they seem to only choose to be active at night."
It's not just that they're afraid of daytime sunlight, but more importantly, they're afraid of daytime yang energy -- during the day, there is a strong yang energy, and at night there is night energy, and even people who are completely blind can tell with their noses whether it's day or night, and that's because of the difference between yang and night.
Now that we expose these entrances, the yin and yang qi in Zhang Liangchen's space will be completely disordered, and in that case, he will not be able to stay in it safely. ”
We can understand what my cousin said, just now when the crack cracked and the sun shone inside, from the screams, we knew that in there, in addition to Xuanheng and them, there may also be some weird monsters, and those monsters have completely adapted to the environment inside, once the sunlight enters, the yin and yang qi in it will immediately be disordered, and the impact on those monsters may be fatal.
With this kind of influence, it may also cause damage to Xuan Heng and them, but at present, under this form, it can only be the lesser of the two.
