Chapter 553: The Golden Tablet of Removing Sins
The white skeleton leaned against a tall sculpture, as the only two things in the whole room, the skeleton and the sculpture looked so abrupt, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.
And most importantly, these two things can reflect the light beam of the flashlight, unlike the black slate around it. With these two things as a reference, the dizzy feeling in everyone's minds as if they were lost in the universe disappeared.
"There is a skeleton here, there are likely to be other dangers, everyone be careful." After Liu Cong reminded everyone, he asked everyone to enter this room one by one, wanting to take a good look at the bones and the sculpture.
All of them were very cautious as they walked towards the room, and they held their hands against the side walls, not daring to look down at their feet. As soon as you look down and see the pattern that looks like a starry sky under your feet, you will feel dizzy. It's much more dizzying than walking on a towering glass boardwalk.
Even if you don't look down, even if you stay on the side wall of the room, this feeling of vertigo will still appear. Therefore, no matter how people move, they always let other people or sculptures and bones appear in their field of vision, and only when these reflective things appear in the field of vision, the feeling of vertigo will be reduced.
"I'll be obedient, this black slate is also amazing, if you can take it back, then the ceiling is the starry sky, and the floor is the universe, at that time, let's get a decoration team, specializing in selling this kind of floor tiles, we will definitely make a lot of money."
Yang Lei's head was dizzy for a while, but he still kept looking at the black slate on the wall, and kept touching and knocking with his hands, obviously very interested in this magical slate.
The others walked around the room with their hands on the wall, and then returned to the door of the room.
The area of this room is not small, and there is no way to tell what the height is, and when you look up, you can only see the green stars in the sky. But none of them could find the exit to this room.
Several people supported each other and slowly walked towards the stone sculpture and skeleton in the distance. It wasn't until a few people staggered to the front that they realized that the sculpture was very strange.
This sculpture covers an area of about four or five square meters, there is a square stone seat more than one meter high, on the stone seat, is a slightly larger than the real person, kneeling on the stone seat, leaning forward, holding a lotus flower in both hands of the maid, you can see at a glance that the clothes worn by this maid are the clothes worn by the maids in the Tang Dynasty palace.
And behind the maid, there is also a tall stone stele, which is connected with the base, the stele is nearly ten meters high, and the stele is densely engraved with a lot of big characters.
After finding the angle, Chen Ziyang and several people gathered the flashlight beam on the stone tablet at the same time.
"The lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Cao, is a good pleasure and true immortal, and he respectfully respects the high mountain gate of Zhongyue Song, erects a golden monument, and begs the three officials and nine mansions to remove Wu Cao's crimes, and the chief bows again." Zhang Linfu slowly read out the words on the stone tablet and gasped.
"No wonder, no wonder. No wonder this sculpture is carved with a maid, it turns out that this is a golden monument to eliminate sin. This is indeed Wu Zetian's mausoleum. ”
"The Golden Tablet? Is there gold? The words on the stone tablet will be difficult to understand, and there are several more obscure words, Yang Lei didn't understand what they meant at all, but after hearing the words of the golden tablet, his two eyes suddenly released two fine lights, and even illuminated this dark room a little brighter. But no matter how he looked at the sculpture in front of him, it was a stone sculpture, and there was not even a bit of gold dust on it.
"Don't talk nonsense." Every time he comes out with Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang is depressed, there is nothing else in this kid's eyes except money, he doesn't say much when he sees things, and he always likes to talk nonsense, and it's not shameful to take him with him.
This character is a script created by Wu Zetian himself, and like the country of the country, it refers to the meaning that all eight directions are Tang soil. And this character is Wu Zetian's name, which means that the sun and moon are empty.
This is a golden monument to eliminate sin, which Wu Zetian set up here to pray for God's forgiveness for her crimes, and this maid was accepted by God on her behalf.
Rest assured, there won't be any mechanism in this room, so hurry up and look for it and see if there's any exit, or if there's anything else hidden here. Looking at the sculpture in front of him, Zhang Linfu finally put his mind at ease.
Chen Ziyang didn't know much about the golden tablet of crime, but since Zhang Linfu was so sure that there would be no mechanism here, he let down his guard and focused on the skeleton sitting at the bottom of the stone tablet.
This skeleton is not tall, it is about the same height as a normal person, and it cannot be compared with the tall zombies that everyone encountered before and the tall skeletons in the coffin of the Seven Martyrs Guardian Array.
The bones are relatively intact, there are no scars on the bones, most of the clothes on the bones have decayed, but there are still a few simple rags left, looking at the style of this clothes, Chen Ziyang feels a little familiar, and he only reacted after looking at Zhang Linfu beside him, the clothes worn on this corpse should be a robe.
"Wearing a Taoist robe, the color of the bones is white, it should not have been parked here for too long, and the bones in the coffin of the Seven Martyrs Tomb Array are definitely not the same age, I guess this person is the one who followed Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian in, I don't know what the reason was to die here.
It's weird. This is the parking place of Wu Zetian's Golden Monument for Eliminating Sins, there will be no mechanism, how did this person die? The pattern outside the door clearly tells us that the place where the iron book is stored should be here, but why is there nothing here? Zhang Linfu looked at the corpse with a puzzled face, and couldn't figure out the key to it.
Liu Cong's men searched around the house for a long time, but they didn't find anything. Liu Cong was anxious, the food and water of the team could only last another day, if he didn't find it again, he had to think of another way, so he set his sights on Guo Huaxing, hoping to get some clues from him.
And since entering this room, Guo Huaxing didn't say a word, he stood quietly in front of the statue, looking up at the roof of the room, looking at the green stars.
"There's a discovery here!" Mo Wen, who has never liked to talk, spoke amazingly. After his tapping, he found that there was a black stone slab on the side wall of the room that was empty behind it, and then he touched the edge of the stone slab with the palm of his hand, and with a sharp press, he turned the stone slab over, revealing a small space behind it.
The discovery made everyone so happy that they all gathered together to find a small stone box behind the slate. The box was not large, but it was very heavy, and it seemed to be connected to the stone wall behind the slab, so there was no way to remove it, but the lid could be easily opened.
"The Book of Five Elements! This is Yuan Tiangang's "Five Elements Picture Book"! Zhang Linfu took this ancient book and burst into tears, this time the action of exploring the Taoist holy land was finally discovered, and this discovery was also very significant, and the lost Taoist classics were found.
With Mo Wen's discovery, the others kept knocking on the black stone slabs on the side wall of this room, and one hidden mezzanine after another was discovered, and one stone slab after another was opened.
Behind these slabs are identical stone boxes, all of which contain ancient books.
"Yi Jing Xuanyao", "Tiangang Bone Fortune Telling Method", "Wen Si Bo Yao", "House Sutra", "Liuren Yin and Yang Sutra", "Yi Si Zhan" ...... A book of Taoist texts was discovered one after another. Among these classics, the vast majority are the works of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and each one is a lost version, which is very different from the version that is circulating today, filling in many gaps, which is really precious.
Every time an ancient book was discovered, Zhang Linfu screamed, one by one more surprised than a scream, one by one the discovery made his face flush with excitement, but there were also some stone boxes that were empty, and it was estimated that the contents were taken away by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, which made him sad.
"Eryang, this is for you, you have to study the things in the book, you need it the most now." Yang Lei didn't know where to turn over an ancient book, secretly took it, and stuffed it into Chen Ziyang's hand.
"Taoism and Harmony?" Chen Ziyang didn't understand Yang Lei's intentions, and he didn't know why this kid took this book.
"Hehe, there are a lot of women around you, the third Li Bojian, the fourth Xu Xiaoyuan or something, after a long time, there will inevitably be friction between them and Wang Lele, stumbling, and when the time comes, there will be discord in the family, and you have to worry about it. With this book, it's much easier for you to control them.
Don't you have any "Maoshan Harmony Technique" in Maoshan, I've heard of it, it seems that people you don't know can fall in love with you after a week, and you are dead set on it, this book should be about the same, you keep it. ”
"Fart, the real "Maoshan Harmony Technique" refers to the combined attack technique of many people, fusing the mana of two people into one place, you can hit a blow that is far more than the sum of the strength of two people, just like the previous Seven Star Array. The things you said were all used by the gods to cheat money, and they couldn't be taken seriously. ”
ran into a wall here at Chen Ziyang, Yang Lei grimaced and continued to look for his treasure. Chen Ziyang continued to stare at the skeleton in front of him.
Except for two people in the whole room, all of them were desperately looking for Taoist treasures, and only Chen Ziyang and Guo Huaxing did not join the search team.
Guo Huaxing kept looking up at the stars in the sky, and from time to time he moved his eyes to the lotus flower held by the sculpture maid's hands. Chen Ziyang, on the other hand, was very interested in the horrific bones in front of him, and he always felt that the posture of this skeleton was a little weird, but he couldn't say what was weird.
After staring at the bones for a long time, Chen Ziyang noticed something strange. Judging from the posture of the bones, Chen Ziyang estimated that something should have been pressed under the bones, so he took out the Xuanming Ancient Sword and gently pushed the bones aside.
There was a clattering sound as the bones collapsed, and several shattered stone slabs beneath the bones were exposed.
The sound of the bones collapsing attracted Liu Cong and Zhang Linfu, who also surrounded them. At this time, Chen Ziyang had already spliced together several broken stone slabs that had been pressed under the terrifying bones before, and a complete pattern was revealed on the stone slabs.
This pattern depicts a chrysanthemum-shaped array of seven mourners, but one of the eight coffins is very large, which is obviously different from the other seven coffins.
Recalling the previous scene when everyone cracked the Seven Martyrs Protecting Tomb Array, Chen Ziyang understood. This relatively large coffin refers to the coffin that hides the door opening mechanism, it seems that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, who came here before, also had their chances, and they actually got the stone slab used for prompting, no wonder they came here without breaking the formation.
However, it is a pity that this stone tablet is hidden here, if everyone can find it earlier, maybe they don't have to pay such a big price in the Seven Martyrs Guardian Tomb Array. Seeing that the pattern on the front of the slate was useless, Chen Ziyang turned over the slate one by one, and there was another pattern on the back of the slate.
This pattern depicts the sculpture in front of everyone's eyes. Whether it is the maid holding a lotus flower on the picture, or the gold tablet behind the maid, they are all exactly the same as the sculpture. There are two ways in which a drawing differs from a sculpture.
One is a person sitting below the maid's hands raised, and the other is a flame emerging from the lotus flower held high by the maid's hands, and in addition to this, the star map of the Big Dipper is engraved on the maid's head.
The three of them studied it for a long time, and they didn't understand what this picture meant, but since this stone tablet was left here, it was obviously another hint left by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian.
Even if the slab was broken, the two men didn't throw it away, and it seemed that the next step was to hide in the slab, otherwise the slab wouldn't have been placed underneath the bones.
"You haven't found a problem, if this stone slab was left in the previous room, it would be much easier for us to crack the Seven Martyrs Protecting Tomb Array, but it is obvious that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian deliberately left this stone slab here.
I guess it's because they think the things in this room are more difficult than cracking the Seven Dead Guardian Array, so they deliberately left the stone slab here. In order to get our attention and let us know how to crack the mechanism in this room. ”
Chen Ziyang is best at reverse analysis, and he immediately discovered the key from the position of the slate.
"What you say makes a lot of sense, but what does this picture mean? Old thing, don't keep your head up, you're not a giraffe, the Big Dipper is painted on the slate, you come over and see what's going on. Zhang Linfu said to Guo Huaxing, who had been raising his head and not saying a word.
"Yaoguang...... Yaoguang ...... "It seems that he didn't hear Zhang Linfu's words, Guo Huaxing kept paying attention to the starry sky on the roof, and kept muttering.
