Chapter 139: The Underground Chamber
Xiaowen was also startled after touching these guns and bullets: "Where did they get so many arms, there are not so many guns and bullets in Hexi Forest Farm, where are these people coming from?"
Mu Yi whispered: "There are two possibilities, one is the regular troops, and the other is the enemy/special lurking in the country. ”
"It's definitely the enemy/special. Xiaowen immediately concluded, "There won't be those scum in the troops/teams, this may be the enemy's/special base in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the country/name/party dug a secret room underground to hide arms before the defeat and retreat." ”
"Quite possibly. Mu Yi nodded, there was really no other explanation, it was too difficult for so many arms to be transported here.
"Since this is not an ancient tomb, it is troublesome. Xiaowen said hurriedly, "They will definitely come down to check." Where are we hiding? ”
"Don't worry, if Lin Zi can hide here, we can hide too. There's an exit over there, let's keep going inside. Mu Yi took her hand and continued to explore the way.
This underground path was two people wide, and when they reached the end, they saw a huge copper door, and in front of the copper door was a person squatting, which was the forest that had run into before.
Seeing that there was nothing to avoid, Lin Zi begged for mercy in a crying voice: "Brother Mu, don't do it, it's all a misunderstanding." ”
Mu Yi scolded: "What misunderstanding, why did you kid get mixed up with this group of people, and do you still plan to insult Xiaowen?"
"What? Sister Xiaowen, how dare I. Lin Zi's voice was aggrieved, "I was kidnapped by these people, and I am not in the same group as them at all." ”
"Kidnapped?" Mu Yi was stunned, "They traveled thousands of miles from Yunnan to Shanxi? ”
"Shhh, Brother Mu, be quiet, don't be heard by them. Lin Zi hurriedly said, "They have taken a fancy to my ability to explore the way, let me give them the way to explore the underground, this hole has been dug in the past two years." ”
"It took the past two years to dig it up?" Xiaowen was a little surprised, "What about those arms? ”
"Not really. Lin Zi saw that the two believed him, and he slipped a lot of words, "It was brought in in the past few days, and it was said that it was to fight zombies." ”
"Fight zombies? Can zombies be killed? What the hell are they digging this tunnel for? Mu Yi will be skeptical.
"Do you see this bronze door, there are zombies behind the bronze door! That's what they said, I don't know. Lin Zi stood up and said, "There are eight bronze doors like this, and an underground secret room has been dug in front of each copper door to load ammunition, saying that when it is ready, the eight doors will be opened together, and they will rush in to solve those zombies first, and then dig the grave." ”
"Sure enough, it's still tomb robbers, but these tomb robbers are too strong! There are so many guns, ammunition, and people that ordinary people can't master. Mu Yi frowned, the current situation was completely beyond his imagination.
"Yes, the leader is some Chinese from abroad, and he also colluded with local officials. Lin Zi tried his best to tell the two of them everything he knew, "The people below are all hooligans and gangsters from abroad, none of them are good people, they must have taken a fancy to Sister Xiaowen, so they did this kind of thing, it really has nothing to do with me." ”
Mu Yi still wanted to ask something, but suddenly heard noisy footsteps from the ammunition room, no need to ask, it must be the people above who came down.
Lin Zi whispered to them not to make a sound, and he hurried up to meet them, crying as he walked: "Brothers, you can count on coming, a guy with strong martial arts just now, killed many of us, or I would have hid quickly and died outside." ”
Immediately, an impatient voice sounded: "Look at your virtue, seven or eight people have been solved by one person and still have a face to cry? Where did that person go, didn't you find here?" ”
"No, no, I hid fast, how could he have thought that I would hide underground. Lin Zi's voice was full of flattery.
"That's good, Wu Lao Er's few waste fans are obsessed, what kind of women are they doing at such a critical time. It seems that this village is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are people who know kung fu, you should pay attention in the future, don't provoke those villagers, don't spoil the boss's big things. ”
"Understood. There was a sparse sound of lala, and then the footsteps grew farther and farther away, apparently leaving the chamber and onto the ground.
At this time, Mu Yi completely believed Lin Zi's words, these people didn't sound very united, as if they were put together.
After a while, Lin Zi returned to the secret room and picked up the two, and instructed: "There was a word from above just now, and we will do it tomorrow night." Don't go into the mountains for the next two days, something might happen. ”
Mu Yi almost suffocated Lin Zi with an iron rod just now, but Lin Zi didn't care about his previous suspicions, and told them to be careful, which made him a little unhappy, scratched his head and said: "Lin Zi, you should be careful, if you really encounter danger, run early, I think these people don't take human life seriously, you can take care of yourself." ”
Lin Zijiao laughed: "I don't have any other skills, but my ability to escape is first-class." Put it down, Brother Mu, you guys hurry up, they will be in trouble when they come over in a while. ”
The two of them didn't dare to stay any longer, avoided the direction they came from just now, and took a long detour back to the village, at this time it was already about four o'clock in the morning, Xiaowen escaped from the tiger's mouth, and there was no longer lingering thoughts, so they simply said a few words to Mu Yi and went back to the house to sleep.
The next day, after finishing their farm work, the two of them went to the threshing floor again, worried about the safety of the forest at night.
"Brother Mu, Lin Zi won't be in danger. Xiaowen was a little worried, she was kind by nature, Lin Zi was wronged by them last night, and helped them get out of danger, so she really didn't want to go.
"It's hard to say, those people don't know where they come from, the dead people don't take it seriously at all, and what zombies are they going to deal with at night, and those who are captured like Lin Zi must be cannon fodder. Mu Yi chewed the wheat straw in his mouth, thoughtful.
"Then what should I do, or let's help him escape. Xiaowen said urgently.
"It's not that easy, if they weren't in a hurry to do it tonight, we would definitely be targeted. If Lin Zi runs away again, maybe the whole village will be affected. Mu Yi shook his head, "Unless they run when they do it tonight, the zombies in the tomb are not easy to deal with, and many people will definitely have to die, and no one will care if Lin Zi dies or runs away." ”
"Good idea, let's go help him that night. Xiaowen turned around and lay on top of him, and said earnestly.
"You stay at home, I'll check on the situation in the evening. Mu Yike didn't want her to take risks, Xiaowen didn't have much ability, but she liked these thrilling things.
"Oh well. Knowing that it would be a burden to go, she stuck out her tongue, "Then be careful, those people have guns." ”
Mu Yi said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will casually stun someone and change into his clothes." It's just a rabble that won't recognize me. ”
Xiaowen nodded, her previous performance in King Mu's tomb made her understand that Mu Yi was a person with great ability.
Mu Yi thought about the events of the night, and couldn't help but think of the bronze door at the end of the secret room, the carving on the door was very exquisite, although it had been corroded underground for a long time, full of patina, but the patterns on it were still clearly visible, except that the surrounding area was carved with fierce beasts and ghosts, and the most conspicuous thing in the middle was the three horizontal stripes with a gap in the middle.
"Xiaowen, do you know what this represents?" Mu Yi sat up, drew three horizontal lines on the ground with wheat straw, and touched a gap in the middle.
"This is the kun hexagram in gossip. Xiaowen said without thinking, "The one painting in the middle gap represents yin, and the complete one represents yang." According to the different combinations of yin and yang, it can be divided into eight kinds of hexagrams, and the two eight trigrams are matched with each other, and they become eight eight and sixty-four hexagrams, which are said to be able to predict all things in the universe and are used by the ancients to calculate good luck and evil. ”
A bright light flashed in Mu Yi's mind: "Gossip? Do you remember what Lin Zi said, there are eight such copper doors under Zhongtiao Mountain, do they represent the eight hexagrams of gossip? Last night, the bronze door was engraved with the hexagram of Kun hexagram!"
Xiaowen also exclaimed: "This underground mausoleum is actually built according to the direction of the gossip! I have never heard of this form of tomb in ancient times, and it is definitely not an ordinary tomb." ”
Mu Yi frowned and thought for a long time, then asked, "Who invented gossip, and which prince and nobleman was the best at or obsessed with gossip in the past?"
Xiaowen was most familiar with these things, and immediately replied: "Bagua is said to have been created by Fu Xi, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, who created these eight combinations according to the different forms of yin and yang changes, which are used to refer to various phenomena in nature. Qian represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Xun represents the wind, Zhen represents the thunder, Kan represents the water, Li represents the fire, Gen represents the mountain, and Dui represents the Ze. ”
After that, she drew the patterns of the gossip on the ground and explained them to him one by one.
"The long horizontal on the hexagram is called yang, and the two short horizontal are called yin. If you want to elaborate, there are too many hexagrams that can be derived from gossip, and later generations will also adjust the gossip to innate gossip and acquired gossip, and it is difficult for me to point them all out to you. Xiaowen continued.
"Then you choose the most important, the most primitive. Mu Yi saw that something was coming, and hurriedly urged.
"The most primitive gossip comes from "Zhou Yi", which pays attention to the five elements of yin and yang. Qian, Zhen, Kan, and Gen are the four yang hexagrams, and Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui are the four yin hexagrams. Dry and exchange are gold, Kun and Gen are earth, earthquake and Xun are wood, Kan is water, and separation is fire. ”
Mu Yi scratched his head and said, "What's the use of dividing into the five elements of yin and yang?" ”
In "Zhou Yi", the gossip is actually derived from the four elephants, and the four elephants are derived from the two instruments. The two instruments are eventually classified as Taiji, which means chaos, that is, the beginning of all things. Yin and Yang are the two instruments, and the five elements are the evolution of the four elephants, in fact, the four elephants were originally wood, fire, metal, and water, and later added soil to become the five elements, and the concept of the four elephants has also changed to less yang, sun, less yin, and too yin. ”
"I understand the concept of yin and yang, what do the four elephants or the five elements represent?" Mu Yi then asked.
"The four elephants actually represent the four directions of south, east and west, wood is the east, gold is the west, fire is the south, water is the north, and the earth that appears later is the center. Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin, and Taiyin are respectively in the four directions of east, west, north and south. ”
