Chapter 529: Discovery
Although I have not been in contact with Old Man Zhu for a long time, I can also see that he is a person who has practiced for many years and has seen strong winds and waves.
His current actions were obviously frightened by something, and I couldn't help but get nervous, and asked in a lost voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a big hole in front of me, and I almost fell into it!" Old man Zhu patted his chest and said in horror.
A big pit, as for it?
I was about to mock him for being hypocritical, but I couldn't help but glance over there.
It's a big black hole that you can vaguely see!
"Could this be the crater that Qin Shi Huang suppressed that mysterious person back then?"
Li Di and I looked over there at the same time, and she asked aloud.
"Very likely." I nodded, a little excited, and sighed, "I didn't expect that the entrance that I couldn't find with all my might during the day would be struck by lightning at night." ”
The hole is not small, with a diameter of two meters.
Look down, the inside is three points darker than the bottom of the pot, and you can't see the bottom at all, and you don't know how deep.
"We don't have anything to do now, we can't get down. It's better to go back and prepare the tools first, then sleep and recuperate, and then go down tomorrow during the day to find out. Old man Zhu said half-suggestively, half-commandingly.
That's all there is to it.
So, our group returned to Old Man Zhu's house.
First changed out of the soaked clothes, ate something briefly, and was a little confused for a while.
Early the next morning, we packed up the things we could use and headed for Tianyin Mountain again.
When I left the village, I saw a large group of people kneeling at the foot of Tianyin Mountain, pouting and kowtowing.
In front of them, there was a large amount of incense, candles, and paper money.
After inquiry, I figured out that it turned out that the thunder and lightning last night were too terrifying, and the villagers were afraid, so they rushed to pray for God's blessing early in the morning to break the bad luck.
The people are simple and always in awe of the unknown.
Without dwelling too long, we moved on.
Despite the rain, the trail was not muddy, and it wasn't long before we came to the mouth of the cave where the thunder had struck.
Old man Zhu took out a fire fold, shook it, and threw it down.
The fire fold instantly reached the bottom of the cave, flashed a few times, and did not go out.
This means that the space in the cave is large enough for air to circulate.
Another point, the fire head is very clear, which means that the hole is not deep, I roughly estimated, it is more than ten meters.
"I'll go down and have a look."
I pulled a long rope out of my bag, tied one end to a nearby tree, and wrapped the other end around my waist, then bit the flashlight with my mouth and slowly slid down the rope.
The pit of more than ten meters will soon reach the bottom.
I took the flashlight and shone it around, this is a very tall cave hall, in the middle of the hall, there is a building!
The building resembles an octagonal pavilion.
It is about two meters high and covers an area of about seven or eight square meters.
Each side has an overhang, but the regular octagonal pavilion is supported by eight pillars, this one has eight walls, and there are some patterns on the wall, similar to an antique temple, but there are no doors and no windows, this kind of weirdness, I still see it for the first time.
What is particularly surprising is that this octagonal pavilion is actually made of metal.
Under the light of the flashlight, the golden light was shining, and it was impossible to tell whether it was gold or brass.
"Boy, what did you find? Can we go down? ”
Old man Zhu couldn't wait, and craned his neck to lie down at the entrance of the cave and shouted below.
"Come down, there's no danger, there's a building."
I responded.
Old man Zhu was very nimble, and when he heard my words, he slipped down like a monkey.
As soon as he stood still, he couldn't wait to look around.
When his gaze fell on the octagonal pavilion, his eyes flashed with stars.
Immediately afterwards, a vicious dog pounced on the food, hugged the octagonal pavilion and took a bite.
Then he laughed and said, "Soft! Soft! It's gold...... Good fellow, how much is such a big lump of gold worth! Hahaha......"
Old man Zhu saw that Qian was open-eyed, and he hugged the octagonal pavilion as if he was holding his father, and he was no longer willing to let go.
Li Di also came down at this time.
She was attracted by Old Man Zhu's laughter, and walked directly to the octagonal pavilion with a flashlight, circled around a few times, and muttered, "I didn't expect the legend to be true." ”
"Legends? Have you heard of the legends here? Li Di's words surprised me deeply.
Li Di shook his head: "It's not a legend here, but a record in the "Jinling New Chronicles". ”
As she spoke, she recited to me in detail.
"The king of Qin was disgusted with the king of the southeast, cast 100,000 taels of gold, buried it in Moling, and set up a monument, which was engraved: not in front of the mountain, not behind the mountain, not in the south of the mountain, not in the north of the mountain, someone obtained, and a country was rich."
Old man Zhu continued: "We have such a saying here, saying that when Qin Shi Huang broke the dragon vein, he buried 100,000 taels of gold, and set up a vulgar inscription, so that the people could dig gold, and with the greed of everyone, they dug up the river and dug the Qinhuai River. The king's anger is both suppressed and vented, however, no one has dug up the gold. Even in modern times, there are constantly tomb robbers who have the idea of beating 100,000 taels of gold, but they have never found it. ”
I was also very happy to learn that the octagonal pavilion was made of gold.
Such a big lump of gold, just take a few dozen catties out, won't it just spend money and make it casually in the future?
I am glad to be happy, but I am not dizzy, and our priority is to find the ossuoscope.
If you can't find a bone mirror, your tongue can't be degraded, so no matter how rich you are, it's a lifeless flower.
I went around the cave, which was not very large, and there was no way to the other place, and I returned to the octagonal pavilion and said, "That mysterious man and the bone mirror may be in this pavilion." ”
As I spoke, I pushed the pavilion tentatively with a little force, and it felt like a grasshopper shaking a tree, not moving at all.
"Suppression, suppression, why are you standing here? Did Qin Shi Huang have so much money that he had nowhere to spend it? "I complained dissatisfied.
After all, gold was extremely difficult to smelt in those days.
Old man Zhu said with a smile: "You don't understand this, this is actually a kind of suppression." The use of magic instruments, charms, etc. is forcibly suppressed. Suppression with gold and jade treasures symbolizes bribery, meaning to give him glory and wealth, gold and jade treasures, so that he can give up the will and spirit of resistance. ”
"Do you mean Qin Shi Huang, this is a combination of soft and hard?" I asked, "So how can we open this thing now?" ”
I looked at this big lump of gold at a loss.
Old man Zhu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Combine the internal strength of the three of us and see if we can push it away." ”
Let's go into battle with my sleeves.
Li Di and I also used our arms, and the three of us worked together to push towards the octagonal pavilion.
Qin Shi Huang cast this octagonal pavilion is also considered to be a bloody cost, dead and heavy, the three of us used all our strength to push it a little bit.
Pushing this away, I found that the pavilion was empty, a deep dark hole.
