Chapter 158: The Secret in the Bamboo Tube
After returning to the hotel, Chen Ziyang opened the door, looked at the scraps of paper with the patterns on the disc, and felt pain again, in the past few days, he tried countless methods, trying to decipher the hidden map between the front and back patterns on the disc, but found nothing.
Yang Lei is always beside Chen Ziyang, and the two of them can be said to have tried both recorded and undocumented methods, and even copied the plots seen in the TV series.
For example, put two pieces of paper on top of each other and look at the sun to see if the two patterns form a map. Or you can fold the paper with the patterns on it and let the patterns on the paper intertwine with each other, but nothing can be found.
Cleaning up the shredded paper all over the floor, Chen Ziyang sat on the bed, holding an imitation brass disc in one hand and looking at it in his hand. Since I have no clue, I simply don't think about it. Anyway, I couldn't see why, and it would be a waste of time to look at it again, so Chen Ziyang put the two discs in his backpack. Just as he was putting away the disc, he suddenly saw the bamboo tube in his backpack.
This bamboo tube was taken out of the belly of the mother and son by Chen Ziyang in the tomb of Li Yan, and it has never been opened, and I don't know what is hidden in the bamboo tube. He has been busy all this time, and he has forgotten about this matter, and there is no progress on the map on the disc anyway, so it is better to look at the things in this bamboo tube and learn about other people's secrets.
Holding the bamboo tube in his hand again, Chen Ziyang carefully observed that one end of the bamboo tube was cut into the shape of a wedge. Looking closely, there are some bamboo barbs on the edge of the wedge, and it seems that someone deliberately nailed the bamboo tube into the belly of the child, as if he was afraid that it would fall out. At the same time, most of the bamboo tube is sealed with wax, obviously trying to protect the contents of this bamboo tube.
took out his Swiss army knife, Chen Ziyang scraped off the wax film on the outside of the bamboo tube, after the wax film was removed, he found a seam on the bamboo tube, and after priing the seam with the saber, the whole bamboo tube was broken into two, and the contents were exposed, Chen Ziyang carefully pulled out the contents of the bamboo tube.
The thing in the bamboo tube is a piece of paper, but the material of this paper is very strange, not as heavy as parchment, and thicker than ordinary paper, and at the same time it is not silk, cotton or anything like that, I don't know what material this thing is made of.
Chen Ziyang slowly opened the paper scroll, and the paper scroll was filled with dense thin gold block characters with a brush. It seems that the person who writes is very serious and writes neatly. So Chen Ziyang read it carefully.
The paper reads: "The old man Zhang Qianliang, born in Kangxi for three years, has studied the art of ingenuity all his life, and is obsessed with it, although he does not dare to boast of his great achievements, but he also has a little experience." I was loved by my friends, and I was deserved to be named a genius.
When I was young and frivolous, I was proud of my talents, and today, I have only awakened to the fact that I am far away from the tricksters. Although I am proficient in the delicate art of the mechanism, my scheming is shallow.
Regret should not have listened to the cardinal's words, ended up like this, although I am unwilling, but there is no other way, the king called the minister to die, the minister had to die, I have been loyal to the king all my life, I once made an oath, I am willing to die for the king, although I die without regrets.
The old man has no queen in his life, and he has a son when he is old, and he wants to raise the mother and son for a long time, but he accidentally implicates the mother and son, and sees the two of them escape into the ghost road in front of me, regretting it too late, and resentment.
However, I am difficult to protect myself, it is rare to have a good death, today I will hide this book in the womb of the mother and son, if the person who is destined to get it, it will be set to help the mother and son relieve the pain, and the soul will return to the world. Brilliant and bright. ”
After reading the entire letter, Chen Ziyang was strange, this Zhang Qianliang is really interesting, how can he say half a word. Where's the secret? Chen Ziyang hurriedly flipped over the letter, wanting to see if there was anything to follow.
But after he turned the letter over, there was not a word on the back of the letter, but there was a picture, and the thing drawn on this picture was too familiar to Chen Ziyang, it was the pattern of the four dragons converging towards the center.
This is the fourth time Chen Ziyang has seen this pattern, the first time is on the back of the brass compass left by his grandfather, the second time is on the round sculpture in the shallow water in the tomb of the fish dragon, the third time is in Li Yan's tomb, the second is on the stone wall behind the jade coffin containing the corpse demon, and this is the fourth time at this time.
Who is this Zhang Qianliang? According to the letter, he actually knew Cardinal Wang. Chen Ziyang thought about it carefully, he seemed to have heard the name Zhang Qianliang somewhere.
Looking at the pattern of the four dragons gathering in front of him, Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered, by the way, it seems that he once heard Wang Lele say that one of the holders of the four plum bottles, one of the four great craftsmen of Kangxi along with Cardinal Wang, and the person who is known as the world's first genius seems to be called Zhang Qianliang.
That's right, it should be him, otherwise, it would be impossible to find the Baixi plum bottle in Li Yan's tomb. Thinking back to the various mechanisms in Li Zhuo's tomb, Chen Ziyang felt that if this tomb was really designed by this person named Zhang Qianliang, then he really deserved the name of trickster.
The mechanism in the tomb seems simple, but in fact it is impossible to guard against, and the mechanism in the entire tomb is gradual, and the final killing move is the phoenix crown. Chen Ziyang had thought carefully about this phoenix crown before, and he felt that the reason why several people were able to escape from that tomb was because they didn't take any of the burial goods in Li Zhuo's tomb.
The smell of the phoenix crown has a great attraction to the blood corpses and brain-eating insects that guard the mausoleum, so many years, the smell of the phoenix crown has already infiltrated into every burial item in the tomb, at that time, as long as a few people take a funeral goods, those blood corpses will chase them along the taste of the phoenix crown, and a few people will have no chance of survival.
But this Zhang Qianliang is just like Cardinal Wang, all of them have become corpse demons! Judging by the meaning of the letter, he seemed to have known that he would end up at this point, but he didn't expect his wife and children to be refined into a child in front of him.
This is also a big blow to him when he is old and has a son, but since he has a grudge, why didn't he tell the secret in his mouth completely, but just drew such a picture for future generations to guess?
From the words of this letter, Chen Ziyang can see that this Zhang Qianliang seems to be very loyal to Kangxi, could it be that this secret actually involves Kangxi? So he wanted to say, but he didn't want to say, in this contradictory mood, that's why he wrote this letter to leave to the destined people, as for what he can understand from the picture, it all depends on the fate of the descendants themselves.
The more Chen Ziyang thought about it, the more he felt that his idea made sense, and he didn't think that the pattern on the gold disc had not yet been figured out, and now this pattern that he had seen four times came out to make trouble again, Chen Ziyang recalled that the first time he saw these four dragons, it was in the brass compass left by his grandfather.
Because it was very inconvenient to use, he didn't have that compass with him, so Chen Ziyang took out the simple compass he was carrying from his backpack and put it on the table, wanting to use this compass to recall the scene at that time.
Next to this compass, there was a piece of paper, on which was drawn the sun-shaped pattern on the front of the gold disk, Chen Ziyang swept it with the corner of his eye, and found that this sun pattern was similar to the pattern on the compass.
Chen Ziyang's eyes widened suddenly, as if he knew how to decipher the map hidden on the golden disk.
