Chapter 137: Flaws
After the secret door was opened, Su Dingqin and I were dumbfounded.
Lu Nianqi entered the Diwang Temple for only a moment, and without carefully observing the furnishings in the meantime, he had already learned where the secret door entrance mechanism was, which was indeed too unbelievable.
You know, the four of us searched for nearly half an hour and didn't find the mechanism, or I accidentally cracked it.
Lu Nianqi just stood in the center of the temple and watched for a moment, how could he know that the organ was under this futon, could it be that he had been to the Diwang Temple before?
When he was surprised, Lu Nianqi raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the high platform, and said calmly: "Below the statue is where the entrance to the tomb is located, and it seems that my head is left." ”
"Brother Lu, how do you know that the mechanism that opened the entrance to the tomb is hidden under this futon, have you been here before?" Su Dingqin looked at Lu Nianqi in disbelief and asked.
When Lu Nianqi heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying that he had never even been to Yangguanling, so how could he have come to Diwang Temple.
The reason why he could guess the location of the mechanism was the statues of the zodiac on the high platforms on both sides.
As soon as these words came out, several of us immediately turned our heads to look at the statues of the zodiac, but after a closer look, we did not find any anomalies.
Seeing the puzzled faces of several of us, Lu Nianqi walked to the high platform and raised his hand to point to one of the statues, and said in a deep voice: "This statue is the mouse in the zodiac, you take a closer look at his eyes and the weapon in his hand." ”
Hearing this, I immediately looked at the statue that Lu Nianqi was pointing to, the statue on the high platform was staring at the position of the futon, and he was holding an unsheathed sword in his hand, and the place where the blade of the sword was pointing was also a futon.
I immediately looked at the other statues, and upon closer inspection, I saw that all of them were looking in the direction of the futon, and so were the blades in their hands.
Seeing this, I suddenly came to my senses, and hurriedly spoke: "Brother Lu, the places where these statues look at them and the places where the blades in their hands point are all futons, are you concluding that the organs are under the futons based on this phenomenon, right?" ”
"That's right, there are rules in every line of the world, there are rules for tomb robbing, and there are rules for building mausoleums."
"Regardless of the identity of the owner of the tomb, as long as the mechanism is set up, there will inevitably be a way to crack it, and the craftsman who built it will inform the location of the mechanism in some form in order to avoid being contaminated with karma, the purpose is to prevent himself from being counterattacked, if the mechanism he sets up is unbroken, then the retribution of the dead and injured will fall on him or his descendants, so when the mechanism is set up, they will deliberately leave a way to crack the mechanism."
"Either hidden in the statue, or hidden in the mural, as long as you concentrate on exploring will always find the location of the mechanism, when I came in just now, I found that the eyes of the twelve zodiac signs on the left and right sides were wrong, and I found that they were all looking in one place, and there was also a problem with the blades in their hands, so I concluded that there must be something hidden under this futon!" Lu Nianqi explained in a deep voice.
As soon as Lu Nianqi's words fell, a burst of applause came from his ears, and when he turned his head to look, Su Dingqin applauded and exclaimed: "Brother Lu is worthy of being a leader in stealing doors, and his ability to rob tombs far exceeds that of several of us, since the entrance to the tomb has appeared now, let's not delay time, let's go in early." ”
"Wait a minute, since this ancient tomb is built under the temple, it must not be simple, the airtightness must be excellent, if you go in now, you may die due to lack of oxygen, let's wait here for a while, wait for a certain amount of oxygen in the tomb before going down, if not, I'm afraid that before we get to the main tomb, a few of us will have died of lack of oxygen." Lu Nianqi admonished.
None of us had any experience in visiting tombs, and now that Lu Nianqi said not to enter the tomb for the time being, we have no choice but to do so.
While waiting, Ning Nanxi walked to Lu Nianqi's side, raised his hand and pointed to the statues on both sides, and asked: "Brother Lu, generally speaking, the gods enshrined in the temple only have five great immortals or various immortal families in addition to the Sanqing and Buddha statues, why can these twelve zodiac signs stand in this temple, is there any saying in it?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Nianqi looked at the 12 zodiac statues on both sides, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Diwang Temple has the entrance to the tomb, the statues in the temple should be used to guard the mausoleum. ”
"The word "king of the earth" only appears once in history, that is, Qin Yiting, who was named the king of the land in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties."
"This person has very high skills, but it has never appeared in the official history or wild history, I also stole the tomb of a Sui Dynasty official a few years ago to learn this name, Qin Yiting is in power to the government and the opposition, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, and there are twelve generals under him, collectively known as twelve yuanchen."
"Gopher flying eaves walk on the wall like a ghost, the sky and the earth come and go without a trace, the iron buffalo copper skin iron bone knife and gun invulnerable, a hundred poisons do not invade the waterway rampant, the red-faced tiger is as fast as the wind and its Xu Xu is like a forest, sneaking silent hunting invisible, carnivorous rabbit is as quiet as a virgin moving like a rabbit, ruthless and sinister and cunning, the dry dragon is seven feet tall and extraordinary, words must be done, a blow must be hit, seven steps snake tricks are poisonous, within seven steps all the grass is withered, chasing the soul of the horse chain of fast legs, the move is life-threatening step by step, the leader climbs the mountain and wades through the water like walking on the flat ground, The double horns are invincible, the great sage of the monkey is tumbling and jumping, the humanoid beast heart is killed, the Lingguan chicken is a thousand changes and killing, unscrupulous means for the purpose, the dog will never forget when he hears the wind, he will not let go of the spicy hand like crazy, the impermanence pig is divided into tendons and bones, the face is good and evil, and the knife and hidden arrows in the smile are difficult to prevent. ”
"These twelve people are the twelve Yuanchen, and they are also the right-hand men of Qin Yiting, in my opinion, since Qin Yiting and the Twelve Yuanchen are enshrined here, then it is very likely to be the mausoleum of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, but now only these statues cannot know the specific identity of the tomb owner, and we have to wait until after entering the tomb to find out."
As the saying goes, one line is one line, and this sentence is indeed very appropriate for Lu Nianqi
The four of us have never seen the fame of this temple, but what Lu Nianqi said is the Tao, which is indeed beyond our expectations.
It seems that this person is not only a master of tomb robbing, but also very proficient in the history of all dynasties.
We waited in the Diwang Temple for about half an hour, and then Lu Nianqi was ready to go down to the tomb to see the situation, seeing that he was about to jump on the high platform and enter the secret passage, I just wanted to remind him that there was a mechanism hidden in the secret passage, and let him be careful, but before he could speak, Su Dingqin on the side stopped me, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, if you tell Brother Lu now that there is a mechanism hidden in the secret passage, wouldn't it be clear to tell him that we have opened the secret passage before, what will Brother Lu think of us at that time?" ”
"Then what should I do, there is indeed a mechanism hidden in the secret tunnel, in case it ......"
Without waiting for me to finish speaking, Su Dingqin said in a low voice: "If Brother Lu really can't find the mechanism, it will only prove that he is not capable enough, but I am confident that Brother Lu will definitely be able to avoid the mechanism, so you can wait here with peace of mind, Brother Lu will definitely be fine." ”
Su Dingqin was saying that Lu Nianqi had jumped onto the high platform, he glanced down at the secret passage, and immediately took out the flashlight from his backpack.
After turning on the flashlight switch, he just leaned over to check the situation in the dark passage, when suddenly there were a few swishing sounds in the dark passage, and then I saw several cold rays flashing in the middle of it, flying straight towards Lu Nianqi.
Lu Nianqi did not dodge between the lightning and flint, and saw that he was about to be stabbed by a highly poisonous silver needle, and at this time, an unexpected scene happened to several of us.
I saw Lu Nianqi on one side of his body, catching two silver needles with one hand, and the other silver needle was caught by him with his mouth.
Then he jumped off the high platform, put the two silver needles between his fingertips on the incense platform and then took off the silver needles bitten between his teeth, and then he turned his head to look at Su Dingqin, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "After passing these two tests, do you think I have the ability to take you to the tomb?" ”
As soon as these words came out, I was stunned, could it be that Lu Nianqi already knew that we had taken the lead in opening the secret passage.
But how did he know, when he left yesterday, we had already put away all the silver needles that had fallen and thrown them into the dense forest, and it stands to reason that he should not find any clues.
Just when I was shocked in my heart, Su Dingqin looked at Lu Nianqi and asked, "Why did Brother Lu say this?" ”
"You've already opened the secret passage, and you know that there is a mechanism hidden in it, so the reason why you didn't tell me was to test my skills, and I'm right?" Lu Nian said calmly.
"Brother Lu is really powerful, but how do you know?" Su Dingqin didn't hide it, and asked directly.
"There are too many flaws, I will only give two simple examples, one is the futon, the ground around it is full of dust, and the same should be the case on the futon, but if you take a closer look at the two clear knee marks above the futon, it means that someone knelt here not long ago, since I judged that the futon is the location of the mechanism, it means that the mechanism has been opened, and you have naturally seen this secret passage."
"I guessed the mechanism in the dark passage through the melting blood water at the temple gate, the blood contains gray hairs between the blood water, I think it should be a gray mouse, the reason why it turned into blood water should be that it was a rotten bone and a corpse, and just now when I held the silver needle in my mouth, I obviously smelled this smell on the silver needle, so the gray mouse must have been hit by the silver needle before turning into blood."
"So you've dodged the attack of the silver needle yesterday, and you shot the silver needle into the rat for the sake of experimenting with toxicity, am I right?"
Lu Nianqi's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be angry because we lied to him.
Su Dingqin saw that Lu Nianqi had already seen through it, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Lu, don't be angry, we just want to see Brother Lu's skills, it's really ......."
Without waiting for Su Dingqin to finish speaking, Lu Nianqi raised his hand and waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I understand why you are doing this, but I am worried that I will not be able to take you to the tomb smoothly, now that the two tests have passed, you don't have to worry about anything, but there is something I want to say in my head, I only allow you to lie to me this time, if I find out that there is a second time, I will definitely throw a few of you in the tomb, I Lu someone will do what he says!" ”
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, I promise you that this will never happen again, and if it happens again, you will also cut off my head and kick it as a ball!" After Su Dingqin finished speaking, everyone laughed, and everything that happened just now also dispersed with laughter.
"The four of you have never entered the mausoleum, I don't know how dangerous it is, so you must follow me closely after going down to the tomb, don't lose it, and the most important thing is not to mess with everything around you, maybe the thing you touch is where the mechanism is triggered, after entering the tomb, you must listen to my command, remember not to act rashly, if something really happens because of your own opinion, then I don't care!" Lu Nianqi said with a solemn face.
