Chapter 503: The Ninefold Abyss
In addition to the patterns on the rubbing, there are also some mysterious runes, according to Professor Sun, these are the dragon seals of the Xia Dynasty, according to his decipherment over the years, they have been translated seventy-seven eighty-eight.
The human figure with fleshy horns on its head is the Shennong clan in ancient times, and this disc-shaped object, named "Tiankuang", is the key to the abyss at the center of the earth.
Song Xing was a little surprised: "Shennong? Taste the Shennong of a hundred herbs? ”
Professor Sun said: "The description of Shennong in the "Narrative of Differences" is that he has a fleshy horn on his head, his abdomen is like a water mirror, and he has insight into the stomach and intestines, and no matter what he eats, he can directly see it outside, so he can taste all kinds of herbs and distinguish grains. ”
"But the Shennong here, I think it should be a geographical coordinates, the location is about at the bottom of a big mountain, it is said that the highest place of Laojun Mountain is "Shennongjia", the cliff is precipitous, the forest is covered with trees, since the ancient times are inaccessible, this place is at the east end of the remaining veins of Daba Mountain, according to legend, Shennong's nest in this frame wood, so it is named "Shennongjia". ”
Song Xing looked at those strange lines, a little strange: "Why do you think this is a landmark?" ”
Professor Sun has been carefully studying this rubbing all the time over the years, and he is very familiar with the grass and trees on it.
Pointing to the undulating terrain above, he asked, "What do you think this looks like?" ”
Wang Fatzi said a little inexplicably: "It seems to be a giant python that inhabits the ground, and it is very large and can swallow mountains, what does it have to do with the terrain?" ”
Song Xing looked at the rubbing, if it was said to be a strange python underground, it only had an outline, and he couldn't distinguish the python head and tail.
Professor Sun said with a smile: "In fact, it is a tunnel in the belly of a mountain, and the internal rock layer is dark and green, similar to the intestines dragged out of the body of a dead corpse.
The upper mountain shape is also very special, and there are many fossils in the strata, and this rare mountain shape is only found in the primeval forest of Dashennongjia.
Listening to the words of those old men in the early years, the corpse intestine hole is bottomless, and most of the ends are through the Yin Mountain where the ghost is locked. ”
Song Xing suddenly said: "Zhuangzi has a saying - the pearl of the husband's daughter will be in the nine-fold abyss, and the dragon will be under the jaw." So you judge that the abyss beneath this leyline is buried what the Green Tomb is looking for? ”
"That's right," Professor Sun said, pointing to a corner of the rubbing, "The dragon seal here says that although there is a good candle, it must not shine in the ninefold abyss." It means that thousands of years ago, the people of the Fire Suppression Country knew that there was something that could not be spied on under the abyss. ”
Song Xing said with emotion: "The Nine Abyss seems to be the place where the green tomb is looking, no wonder they want to kill you." ”
Speaking of this, Professor Sun looked at the rubbings suspiciously: "Although I have deciphered most of the words on it, I still haven't understood the real mystery of this rubbing, and the ancient artifacts buried in the ground thousands of years ago in the pattern represent the civilization of that era. ”
"In the ancient book, it is called Tiankuang, it is a measure of heaven and earth, it can be automatic, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is still in the depths of the Great Shennongjia Tunnel, and in the murals and bamboo slips of the ancient Chu tombs unearthed in recent years, there are also records related to it, but the content is bizarre and mysterious, and many people today are incomprehensible."
According to the records of the ancient seals left in the ground by the Fire Extinguishing Country, Tiankuang is the passage to the abyss, which is also the most important clue that Professor Sun has deciphered over the years.
Wang Fatzi said at this time: "The lofty mountains and mountains covered by the reckless forests and seas of the Great Shennongjia have many cliffs and cliffs, relying on your vague rubbing, how can you guarantee that you can find the entrance to the abyss?" ”
Shennongjia is located in the hinterland of western Hubei Province, the traffic in the deep mountains is blocked, there is no railway at all, and several people will walk forward when there is no road.
Wang Fatzi Lu Ziye, through the big gold tooth, also got a lot of weapons and oil oil, plus Song Xing gave them the confidence, and a group of people rushed into the Great Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is a high mountain with an altitude of two or three thousand meters, the situation is majestic, the forest is dense, this place is known as the roof of Central China, and the road into the mountain is very rugged.
When you go deeper into it, the surrounding peaks are towering, the pine cedars are flourishing, and all of them are precipices and cliffs covered by primeval forests, and there is no longer a road in the conventional sense.
"These snake worshippers can't live on the ground, so why do they have to dig holes and live underground."
Splitting the thorns with the machete in his hand again and making a way out, Wang Fatzi couldn't help but complain.
Professor Sun looked at the dense forest in front of him, and also had a headache, "Primitive humans live in caves, they can resist natural disasters and wild beasts, and they are far safer than the surface. This is also the reason why there is very little outside world about the civilization before the Shang Dynasty, so that the foreign archaeological community only admits that our civilization can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty at the earliest, and even suspects that the Xia Dynasty did not exist at all. ”
Professor Sun stepped over the rotting leaves, took a breath and said: "According to the literature I investigated, the Tocharian country lived underground, on the one hand, out of nature, and on the other hand, because Dayu locked them as slaves after controlling the water. ”
In the mouth of Professor Sun, these Tocharians will have a large number of mysterious and bizarre legends, chiseled on the stone wall underground, roughly Yu when he sank the "Yu Wang Water Control Tablet" into the underground abyss, never born, but the Tocharians have been delusional to find it out, but the number of days is extremely high, the number of places is extremely deep, the abyss is slim, and mortals cannot reach it.
According to the records they left behind, if you want to find the "Yuwang Water Control Tablet" in the abyss, you must first find the object called "Tiankuang".
This strange unknown artifact has probably been there since the Shennong era, after Professor Sun's research, the last person to see it may be the King of Chu You in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, since then for more than 2,000 years, this mystery is more ancient than the ancient age, has been sleeping in Shennongjia.
"King Chu You again? What kind of golden corpse did it fall into the hands of this King of Chu You before? Wang Fatzi was a little surprised.
Professor Sun shook his head: "The golden corpse should have been introduced to the Central Plains from the Great Flood period, I have consulted a lot of historical materials, but I have never found any trace of it.
"It's just that in a text recorded by the Chu State, it is guessed that the ancients who first discovered the golden corpse should be the Shennong clan."
In Professor Sun's mouth, thousands of years later, the golden corpse was in the hands of King Chu You during the Warring States Period. King Chu You's favorite daughter committed suicide, and in grief, King Chu You killed tens of thousands of people to bury his daughter.
Because the killing karma is too heavy, as long as King Chu You closes his eyes at night, he will see those unjust souls who have died asking for his life.
After divination, the sorcerer said to King Chu You that only by blocking the ghost gate and the unjust souls were trapped in the underworld and could not come to the world, could they not be disturbed by the unjust souls.
So, King Chu You ordered the wizard to carry rare treasures to the underground world of Shennongjia to block the ghost gate.
Wang Fatzi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So, there are still golden corpses and countless treasures underground? ”
Professor Sun nodded: "Theoretically, it is, if you can find it." ”
