Chapter 10: Chamber No. 1
"Where is it?" Li Xuyang didn't say to Wu Qin, but asked at the wooden man. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After a while, the wooden man stretched out his hand made of wood, then pointed behind him, and then pointed to himself.
Li Xuyang didn't understand its consciousness, so he looked at Wu Qin. After Wu Qin understood Li Xuyang's meaning, he translated it as, "It said let's follow it, and it took us there." ”
"Good. Li Xuyang agreed, and then said, "Please lead the way." ”
The wooden man didn't make any more moves this time, and turned around and walked towards the depths of the tomb. Wu Qin hurriedly followed, and Li Xuyang also wanted to follow, but he was pulled by Jiang Botong, and then said in a low voice, "Agree so easily?" ”
Li Xuyang nodded, and then replied in a low voice, "I know, be careful." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong walked through the wooden people who were busy one by one, and then followed the wooden people who took the lead. The wooden man led the group to the back of what looked like a workshop, like two burial chambers, separated only by a stone wall.
"Could it be that the box is here?" Li Xuyang looked around, also looking at the top and the ground, but found that the ground here was a little different from the outside, the difference was only that a layer of slate bricks was paved. The slate bricks are the same size and square in shape. If you look directly from above, you can see that these stone slabs form a pattern - a Bagua diagram.
When I looked up, there were only eight coffins in this burial chamber, and they were all wooden coffins. It was neatly arranged, and the coffins had words written on them.
The characters written from right to left are the eight characters of Qian, Xun, Kan, Gen, Dui, Li, Zhen and Kun.
"The layout of this room is always somewhat familiar. Jiang Botong said at this time.
Just thinking about why these eight characters were written on these eight coffins, Jiang Botong's words came into Li Xuyang's ears, and after he heard it, he hurriedly asked Jiang Botong, "What kind of layout is this?"
"Wait, I think about it. After Jiang Botong finished speaking, he muttered to himself and recalled.
Li Xuyang was afraid of disturbing Jiang Botong's thinking, so he came to the side of the wooden man and asked, "Who is the owner of this tomb?"
The wooden man looked at Li Xuyang and shook his head after a while. Li Xuyang was a little displeased when he saw this, what does this mean? Can't say it, or don't you know?
But in order to solve these puzzles, Li Xuyang came to the first coffin of the eight coffins, that is, the coffin with the word "Qian" written on it, and looked up and down.
Judging from the appearance of the coffin, it is no different from an ordinary coffin, but it may be because the time is too long, and the coffin lid is covered with dust. When Li Xuyang was about to go up to wipe off the dust on it, the wooden man suddenly made a "creaking" sound, Li Xuyang was startled by the sudden sound, and hurriedly looked at the wooden man.
But the wooden man was already kneeling in the middle of the tomb at this time, kowtowing to the eight coffins continuously, and for a while he clasped his hands together, looking very religious, and it looked more like he was praying or worshipping something.
Li Xuyang didn't know, and regardless of the strange behavior of the wooden man, he raised his hand to push the coffin lid, but the coffin lid was condemned to death, and after pushing it for a long time, the coffin lid still didn't move.
"Don't waste your energy, the coffins here are all empty. ”
When Li Xuyang still wanted to push the coffin with "Xun" written on it, Jiang Botong said.
"How do you know?" Li Xuyang stood in the gap between the two mouths, looked at Jiang Botong and asked.
"This layout is called 'Bagua Yin Pole Array', and its ability is to confuse people who don't understand this business, if it is an outsider, they will think that there is nothing in this tomb, there are just a group of strange wooden people and these eight coffins. But if you understand this, it will be a different matter. Jiang Botong said.
"What is the Bagua Cathode Array?" Wu Qin asked blankly.
"I don't explain much what gossip is, there are two parts of black and white in gossip, and what people think is that white refers to yang, and black refers to yin, so it is called yin and yang. You see. Jiang Botong said, came to the middle of the tomb, and then pointed to the location of the circle under his feet, outside the circle is indeed gossip, but inside the circle there is only one color - white.
"Isn't white the yang that represents, why is this called the Bagua Cathode Array?" Li Xuyang also came to the middle of the tomb and looked at the pattern on the floor and asked.
"Yes, it is. But this layout is reversed, and thus it becomes a 'Bagua Anti-Cathode Array'. But whether it is a Bagua Cathode Array or a Bagua Anti-Cathode Array, their principles are the same. This gossip diagram on the floor corresponds to the eight characters on the coffin, as long as you change their order, then you can open a path, or a secret compartment, or something like that. ”
"How do you open that?"
"The patterns on the floor are placed casually, and the layman doesn't notice them, but for me it's the key to the secret room. Jiang Botong smiled, squatted on the ground, and took out the four slate bricks of "Kun", "Zhen", "Li" and "Dui" from the gossip diagram, and then reversed the position of the remaining four slate bricks of "Qian", "Xun", "Kan" and "Gen", and then put the four slate bricks back up.
The first is "dry", and the corresponding dry is "kun". Then there is "Zhen" vs. "Xun", "Li" vs. "Kan", and "Gen" vs. "Dui".
After all of them were put back on the ground, a sound came from the direction of the eight coffins. From the first dry coffin, the last Kun coffin slowly opened on its own, followed by the Xun coffin and the Zhen coffin, and finally the Gen coffin and the Dui coffin. All eight coffins were opened, and at the same time that all the coffins were opened, the wooden man kneeling on the ground was not kneeling, so he looked at the opened coffin even more stunned.
Jiang Botong smiled and looked at the eight coffins that were opened, and then when he was about to step forward, Li Xuyang suddenly said, "No, the coffin is not empty." ”
As soon as Li Xuyang's words fell, the wooden man hurriedly stood up, and then ran from the tomb to the outside in the fastest way he could, although it was ridiculous, but he could also see the fear and fear in the wooden man's heart.
"What?" The smile on Jiang Botong's face froze, and his eyes kept staring at the eight coffins.
The reason why Li Xuyang said that was not unreasonable. But when the coffin was opened, his eyes hurt violently, and when he blinked because of the pain, he opened it again and saw eight black gases rising into the sky, and then returned to the coffin. From this, it can be judged that the inside of the coffin is definitely not empty.
“tmd。 Jiang Botong scolded, then took a few steps back, and said in horror, "We were put together, this is not a gossip cathode array, nor is it a gossip anti-cathode array, but a gossip yin array." Compared to the first two formations, this one is even more terrifying. ”
"What?" Li Xuyang was also a little surprised.
Wu Qin's face was even more dazed, although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that there must be something bad in the coffin.
"According to academic qualifications, the Bagua Yin Array is a primary school student, the Bagua Anti-Cathode Array is a junior high school student, and this Bagua Yin Array is a university, or higher. It's over, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome this time. The more Jiang Botong spoke, the more frightened he felt.
Wu Qin saw his movements and realized something, and he also took a few steps back, just a few steps away from this tomb.
And Li Xuyang stood still and didn't move, he knew that if there was anything, then even if he ran, it would be too late. Besides, those wooden people outside might help stop them.
While Li Xuyang was still in a daze, the black gas in the coffin rose again, and then flew out of the coffin. After hovering over the coffin for a while, he flew towards the burial chamber outside, and did not attack Li Xuyang and them.
"Didn't attack us?" Wu Qin was already so frightened that he couldn't stand still on the ground when he saw the black qi, but he still bit his lip and didn't dare to make a sound.
After the black gas flew out, the wooden men at the outer door also stopped their movements, and the sound of the friction between the joints in the entire tomb also stopped abruptly. For a while, the entire tomb was quiet, only the heavy breathing of Li Xuyang and the three of them remained.
"Squeaky Squeak"
After a short dozen seconds, the wooden men moved again, and they no longer cared about their unfinished work, but walked towards the burial chamber inside.
"Oops. When the voice sounded, the first thing Li Xuyang knew in his brain was this word.
This was a complete misunderstanding from the beginning, and I came to this tomb called the Martyr's Tomb by mistake. But he met those wooden people again, and found these eight coffins under the leadership of the wooden people, and inadvertently opened the coffins, but released the evil qi locked in the coffins.
I don't know who laid a trap from here, but Li Xuyang and they got into this trap again.
Could it be that the wooden man led him from the beginning, just to let himself out of the evil qi that was locked in the coffin? Or were they afraid of the evil qi and wanted us to help destroy it? Among them, who was helping him and who was harming himself? Li Xuyang was caught in a problem.
"Go, don't be in a daze, retreat into the coffin. Just when Li Xuyang was still thinking about the problem, he only heard Jiang Botong hurriedly say and pulled his arm by the way. When Li Xuyang reacted, he saw that all the wooden people who were busy in the tomb outside were rushing towards this tomb, and the momentum was like directly trampling Li Xuyang and them to death.
As a group of wooden figures approached, the three of them had retreated to the innermost corner, and behind them was the last "kun" coffin.
In desperation, they looked around for an opportunity to escape, but when Li Xuyang had no intention of turning back, he found a secret compartment in the coffin, and pressed it without thinking much about it. Unbeknownst to him, the bottom of the coffin was slowly opened, and after it was opened, a sound of water came out from the bottom of the coffin.
At this time, Li Xuyang understood the sentence he saw from the entrance of the tomb at the beginning.
"There are eight coffins in the No. 1 pit, and hundreds of rivers are stored in the No. 2 pit. ”
