Chapter 51: The Millennial Fire
If Xu Fu is really buried here, he will inevitably change the shape with manpower, that is, change the wind and water, and the first step is to build a back mountain.
But how do you build a mountain with manpower?
In traditional yin and yang feng shui, the mountain is the gen, the earth is formed, the fire is helped, and it belongs to the yang; If Xu Fu changes the wind and water and builds the back mountain, there must be a fire that will not be extinguished for thousands of years in the local area to become a mountain. I told everyone the doorway of this, Wu Sidong showed an unconvinced look and said, "A fire that has not been extinguished for thousands of years? How can it be? ”
Professor Lin thought for a moment and nodded: "It's not impossible, the ancients would make a special kind of shark oil ever-bright lamp, which is difficult to blow out when lit, and it has been burned for thousands of years." Xiao Chen, according to what you mean, do you think that behind this, there is a place to build a fire? "I'm just a guess, if you have to observe on the spot, or if Xu Fu doesn't play cards according to common sense, it's possible for us to make a shortcut.
If there is really such a place to help the fire, then the tomb of Xu Fu is bound to be built on the main peak, the place to help the fire, there must be a 'fire road' directly to the mausoleum, so as to dredge the earth's qi, and then we can even save the hole. Grasping this clue, everyone was in good spirits, and they followed down the mountain, and at sunset, they rushed to the primeval forest in the rear. It was almost night, and the sea was getting dark very quickly, so Professor Lin saw that it was getting late, and asked if he would camp on the spot and wait for tomorrow to look for it.
I said, "If you search in a carpet way, you can't do it in three or four days, but since the back mountain is made by man, there are traces to follow." This place is an island, with the help of sea air, for the water dragon. According to the river map, the number of water is six apart, and with the main peak as a reference, there will inevitably be a gain from this 600 meters away. ”
Tofu was dizzy when he heard this, and said: "What is the water dragon river map, I said why did you go bankrupt, it turned out that you don't do business, you should be a god." "I didn't pay attention to the tofu, and told everyone that the distance of 600 meters is not too far, and it is not dark yet, so it is completely too late to rush over at this time, so it is better to determine it as soon as possible, and plan the action as soon as possible. Our group was well stocked, and we were in the afterglow of the setting sun to find the direction of shuttle, and after a while, I was happy in my heart and said, "It seems that the expectation is good, and it is almost here, and there is indeed a place to build a fire." ”
Duan Fei looked around curiously, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Where is the fire, why didn't I see it?" ”
I was in a good mood, so I smiled and said: "Of course, the fire will not be directly lit outside, and a special fire room will generally be built, some of which are located on the surface like pyramids, but the mausoleums of the Qin Dynasty are all square and line-shaped. So I think that the artificial mountain built by Xu Fu should also be underground, and the real fire has been burning underneath. ”
Gu Wenmin was also a little curious, and asked me how I could know that there was a drama in this place, could it be that there was a clairvoyant eye.
I pointed to the trees around me and said, "Didn't you see anything wrong?" In the primeval forest, the closer you get to the central zone, the taller and denser the trees become, but you see, the trees in this place are thinner than those on the periphery, which means that these trees are not as old as outside. Everyone suddenly realized and immediately understood. The reason why this is the case must be because this place has been touched in a large area.
I estimated the number of meters, and walked forward another forty or fifty meters, and everyone was in a sparse forest, and the soil under my feet was covered with a layer of sea sand, and from the surface, there was nothing special.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and everyone turned on their flashlights, but the light was obscure, and they couldn't shine too far. I trampled on the ground beneath my feet, and figured that this should be what we were looking for. This thing must not be buried too deep, because buried too deep, it will collide with the water vapor under the sea, the depth should not be more than ten meters or so, although everyone said that they were tired of climbing up and down for a day, but they finally got their heads, and their spirits were very uplifted, so they came up with the idea of taking turns to rest, and strive to dig out the fire room tonight.
During the Qin Dynasty, the underground buildings were generally covered bucket type, boxy, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like an upside-down Mayan pyramid, and there should be no special entrances and exits, because after the construction is completed, the entrances and exits will be closed, and the fire tunnels directly built into the mausoleum will pass the people who built the fire room, that is to say, we still have to make holes.
After hearing this, Duan Fei's expression was particularly admired, and he said, "You are really powerful, you are talking about the Tao, as if this place was built by you." ”
I smiled and said nothing. In fact, China's tomb culture is a very important part of historical development, it includes the art of organs, Qimen Dunjia, the five elements of the eight trigrams, feng shui, architecture, biology in one, is a very profound knowledge, but to sum up, it will not be separated from the five elements of yin and yang, the mystical theory of the unity of heaven and man. Find the right way, and it will be easier to learn. Although I haven't seen the scene of the construction of Xu Fu's tomb back then, based on the current situation, I can also guess that it is not far from ten.
Everyone was in high spirits, found the right way, and immediately said and did it. In the square building in the past, the middle position is the weakest, we calculated a point, and then took out the tools that have been prepared to shovel, except for Gu Wenmin, carp and A Ying, the rest of the people are professionals in this area, needless to say, two groups of people take turns, less than ten o'clock in the evening, it has been dug out of nearly ten meters, at this moment, I heard a ding, and the machine qì person No. 1 who was digging said: "Found it." "Everyone made horseshoe prints around the hole, and when they followed the horseshoe prints, they saw that they had already dug up stones.
When I opened the floating soil on the surface, I saw a yellow stone exposed underneath, and in the process of contact with the probe shovel, it left a crescent-shaped white mark. I turned the shovel upside down and struck the stone with the handle, and the sound was very dull, and I guessed that the top of the fire chamber should be made of heavy boulders, and although the shape of the building was simple, it was very complicated, and I don't know how much manpower it would take. It seems that although this Xu Fu is not the emperor, after going to sea, he has enjoyed the treatment of the emperor and general, just changing the wind and water is already beyond the specifications, and the construction of this fire room is so grand, is it really as Professor Lin said, this person took people and treasures, went to the island of Japan, and became the emperor himself?
I listened to the voice and said, "The stone is very thick, I'm afraid I won't be able to open it tonight, and I'll talk about it tomorrow when it's late at night." ”
Jiqì Ren No. 1 said nothing, "We brought explosives. "I've dug mushrooms twice, and they're all sneaky, this official thief is different, just say explosives, I didn't say anything, my heart said: On explosives? I have no opinion, but you can ask Professor Lin if he will let you blow it up.
When he got out of the pit and told Professor Lin about the situation, he flatly refused, saying: "This is a building from the Qin Dynasty, and it must be preserved as much as possible, and explosives cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary." "Actually, I don't approve of the use of explosives, because the Qin Dynasty's underground buildings have a very strange phenomenon, that is, they don't use stone pillars, generally only support pillars around, I don't know much about this kind of building structure, in case of explosion, what should I do if it collapses?
In view of this situation, we decided to enlarge the hole the next day and pry open the stones at the edge, which was so urgent that we had to light a campfire that night.
Due to the changes that happened in the morning, everyone's vigilance was much higher, and whoever knew that there was a person in the team who might have a psychological distortion was still unable to sleep, so we still divided the shifts, and I, Ji Qì No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4 took turns to keep vigil, and as for the other four people who were suspected, although they did not say it explicitly, their vigil was canceled.
I was on the last shift, and I slept soundly this time, and I don't know how long it took, but the fourth woke me up, pointed to my watch, and said, "Four o'clock, it's your turn." It was still dark in the woods, so I got up and rubbed my face with my hands to refresh myself, and then sat down by the fire, adding firewood and thinking about what I didn't have.
At this moment, it was dark all around, and because they were going to go down the cave to-morrow, they did not bother to set up their tents, but laid out some banana leaves one by one, and slept on the ground with their clothes, and in the silence of the night, only the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the trees. I had just woken up, and I was not in good spirits, and I felt hungry, so I took out the sand clams that I had prepared in advance, and we had prepared them for a whole afternoon, and packed a large bag, enough for everyone to eat and drink for three days.
He was eating chewy clam meat, and in the dark night, there was a hissing sound, a bit like the sound of a snake spitting out a letter.
Got a snake?
Generally speaking, when we have a bonfire, snakes generally do not approach, but are there snakes that are not afraid of fire?
I hurriedly put away my bag, rubbed the clam oil on my hand, picked up the probe shovel next to me and walked towards the place where the sound came from. The snake is actually more afraid of people, and before ordinary people find it, it hides on its own, and in most cases will not take the initiative to attack people, unless someone intrudes into its territory.
I'm not afraid of snakes, because I used to see them often when I poured black treasures, and as long as there were not many of them, there was no danger. One or two snakes, if they see me dodging, if they dare to provoke, they must shoot their heads and blossom.
I followed the sound, searching carefully with a flashlight, but I didn't see the snake, but the sound was still there, as if it were right next to my lap. I said to myself, "Could it be that I have gone under the human body?" This place happened to be sleeping with Tofu and Professor Lin, so I squatted down to take a look, and as soon as I squatted down, I felt my scalp tingle, because I found that the hissing sound came from the mouth of Tofu.
At this moment, Tofu is lying on his side, his eyes are closed, and he is sleepy, but the corners of his mouth twitch slightly, and from time to time he spits out a small half of his tongue in his mouth, just like a snake.
