Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Morning Bell and the Dusk Drum

"That's simple, I'll immediately ask someone to go to the hospital to buy a few bags of blood and come back, and it's no problem to ask for any type of blood." Yue Thunder saw that he had eyebrows and said happily.

I shook my head and said regretfully.

"The blood I bought back is useless, the thousand-year-old jade has spirituality, the blood in the hospital is unknown, the so-called blood to raise the jade, is to use blood to activate the ancient jade, the blood will block the small hole after not quickly penetrating down, once this white jade tofu is wasted."

"That'...... What kind of blood does that want? Gu Anqi asked puzzled.

I walked back and forth a few steps, sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, and suddenly asked meaningfully.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's construction of the imperial mausoleum is unknown, he wants to keep the secrets of the 14th Ming Tombs, so who will these secrets be told?"

"The next new emperor to ascend the throne, of course." Yue Qianling said disapprerovingly.

"That's right! He will leave the secret to the emperor who succeeds him, which means that this white jade tofu is reserved for the next emperor. ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense, the country he fought down is not left to his children and grandchildren, is it left to outsiders."

"That is to say, the secret of this white jade tofu is only known to the emperor, and only the emperor can ......"

When I said this, the whole person suddenly got up from the sofa and said after a long pause.

"This is not white jade tofu, it should be blood jade tofu, the only person who knows the secret is the emperor, so it must be dripped into the emperor's blood."

Thinking of this, I picked up the knife on the table without any delay, cut my fingers, and dripped blood on the white jade tofu.

The blood droplets fell on the surface of the jade, and soon penetrated through the small holes on the surface of the jade, and the white jade tofu, which was still bright and white just now, instantly reflected the blood-red fluorescence.

The blurred figures projected on the wall had become extremely clear, but instead of one side, words were projected on each side of the room from each of the four sides.

There was hardly a sound in the room, and they were all stunned by the strange scene.

"The clues of the Ming Fourteenth Tombs are really hidden in the white jade tofu, I didn't expect this mechanism to be so ingenious and incredible, if there is no blood of Brother Yan Hui, I'm afraid no one can really crack the mystery." Gu Anqi said with emotion.

Qiunuo quickly calmed down, looked at the words projected on the walls around him, and said suspiciously.

"It seems that we haven't completely solved the secret of Baiyu Tofu, and the final clue should be hidden in the words on these four walls."

On the wall in front of it are two quatrains of seven words.

Once the morning bell fills the city,

Sit on the railing and listen to the drums.

Qiu Nuo said calmly after repeating a few words on his lips.

"Morning bells and dusk drums! Once the morning bell is all over the city, it means that the bell in the early morning can be heard in the whole city, and the sound of drums can be heard by sitting on the railing...... That is, if you stand at the place where the bell is ringing, you can see the place where the drum is beating......"

"This also needs to be thought, this refers to the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, Jingzhao, of which the landmark of Jingzhao is the Bell Tower, and the place where you stand on the Bell Tower is only half a mile is the Drum Tower, both of which were ordered to be built by Zhu Yuanzhang." Yue Qianling studied archaeology, and of course knew the ancient capital Jingzhao well, so she quickly thought of it.

"In Jingzhao!" I whispered. "These two seven-character quatrains are to tell us the location, is it possible that the 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is in Jingzhao!"

The text projected on the wall on the left is also two quatrains of seven characters.

The window contains the snow of Xiling Thousand Autumns,

Laugh at the white monkey fishing for the lonely moon.

"I know the first sentence, this is one of the poems in Du Fu's well-known "Quatrain" in the Tang Dynasty, but the second sentence laughs at the white monkey fishing for the lonely moon...... I don't understand what that means. Gu Anqi said suspiciously.

"Two unrelated poems put together must have something else." Qiunuo thought about it and said lightly. "First of all, the first sentence is Du Fu's "Quatrain", which describes the scenery of heavy snow in the twenty-four solar terms......"

"Heavy snow! Solar terms! I looked up and said excitedly. The two lines of poetry on the front wall tell us the location, and these two lines are to pass the time, and the heavy snow is on the seventh day of December in the solar term. ”

"In this way, it's easy to explain by laughing at the white monkey fishing for the lonely moon." Yue Qianling took over and said happily. "The first sentence indicates the month and the day, and the second sentence should be the exact time, at twelve hours, and the monkey represents three o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day of the twelfth month, and the location is in Jingzhao, but what are you going to do?" Xiao Lianshan asked with a confused expression.

My gaze fell on the text projected on the wall on the right.

Fortunately, Kunlun painted the rivers and mountains,

Look at the north house from afar, count a few stars.

I touched my chin and thought for a long time, muttering to myself.

"Fortunately to climb Kunlun to paint the rivers and mountains, Kunlun Mountain is a sacred mountain in the legend, the mountains and seas are used, the sky does not ask how many miles its height, to look up to describe Kunlun Mountain, it can be seen that its height, the meaning of the poem is to stand on Kunlun Mountain to point out the rivers and mountains, the momentum is extraordinary, the meaning here should refer to ascending to the height."

Qiu Nuo nodded and agreed with my analysis, and said unhurriedly.

"Look at the north to count the stars, standing on a high place to watch the stars will be clear at a glance, the north door in ancient times refers to the current Beidou, what does it mean to count a few stars?"

"It's still a number, it's said that the more you learn, the more you think, how many stars does the Big Dipper have, the Big Dipper, the Big Dipper, of course seven!" Yue Thunder spread his hands very relaxed.

My eyes lit up, and I smiled helplessly at Yue Thunder.

"Brother Ting is right, the meaning of these two seven-character quatrains is height! To wait for a place, and the height is related to seven! ”

"What kind of clue is this, given the location, time and height?!" Xiao Lianshan rubbed his tired face and said weakly. "And the location is too general, Jingzhao is also the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, how to find such a big place."

Unlike the text projected on the previous three walls, the text on the last wall is a four-sentence seven-character quatrain.

There was no centenarian at the age of 100,

Weiyang bell leaked drunk smell.

Looking at Anba taking the country today,

The edict flew down the clouds.

I racked my brains and never understood the meaning of these four sentences, and others were even more at a loss, since the clues related to the Ming Fourteenth Tombs were too easy to crack and made me feel bottomless.

But fortunately, I cracked the meaning of the text on the first three walls, at least I know that the Ming Fourteen Tombs are related to Jingzhao, and the text kicked the bell tower and the drum tower, these two buildings were built by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, I try to imagine whether these two places will have anything to do with the Ming Fourteen Tombs.

I memorized the words on all four walls and cleaned up the white jade tofu, so that no one else would ever know the hidden secrets of the white jade tofu.

When Xiao Lianshan turned on the light, he found me staring at the white jade tofu and Jiulin Cheng Ruipan with a smile, and asked without saying anything.

"Yan Hui, this thing shouldn't be of much use now."

"It's useless, Brother Ting, I advise you not to worry about it, some people have already made up their minds."

I know what Yue Thunder wants to do, these two rare treasures that can be said to be genuine, Yue Thunder has long been salivating, but listening to my words, I realized what it means to call the yellow finch behind.

"I'll send it to the archaeological institute early tomorrow morning." Yue Qianling smiled and put away the two cultural relics. "Don't worry, I will tell the archaeological institute that you donated it to the country, and maybe I will give you a bonus, hehe."

Without further ado, I told Yue Thunder that he planned to leave for Jingzhao in the near future, and Yue Thunder also wanted to follow, I guess it was really not his decision on this matter, and Wei Yong should not let him out of his sight.

Yue Lei Ting is right to think about it, tell me that Huo Qian happens to be in Jingzhao, if there is anything that can't be solved, let me go directly to Huo Qian.

I went to the balcony alone at night, there was silence all around, thinking that it seemed that it had not been so calm for a long time, a year ago I was a great man, but now I have a treasure in my hand, after the battle of Gu Xiaotian Villa, although it is not famous all over the world, but at least I am famous.

But the more I think of Qin Yishou, why don't you let me learn Taoism and metaphysics, and even cut off one of my fingers so decisively, to be honest, the day I won the competition, I really hope that he can be there, I really want to get recognition from him, even if it's a look.

I don't know what he's doing now, maybe he never thought about me, but I've always missed him.
