Volume 1 Sacrifice of the Corpse to the Mountain Chapter 83 Scrutiny
Zhang Shouyu has never understood this kind of superficial thing.
Earlier, they fled with Zhang Zhenshan, and they lived in many abandoned temples along the way.
At that time, Zhang Shouyu didn't understand very much, why the Daxiong Treasure Hall was so pompous, why the Buddha statues in the temple were so golden and gilded, shouldn't the Buddhists have six pure and unstained dust?
With a gold-plated body, with a golden body to spread the Dharma number, reciting the four major are empty, how smiling?
Zhang Zhenshan also explained to Zhang Shouyu that he explained from Emperor Wu of Liang to the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty three times, but Zhang Shouyu still didn't like this kind of holiness piled up.
Maybe he is used to living in the broken temple on the top of the mountain, just like Zhang Zhenshan often told him, untouchables are born with cheap intestines, and they are not used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they are not used to living in Guangsha glaze.
Of course, having said that, the two colossi I saw here were still shocking and inexplicable.
Zhang Shouyu said that he would never be stunned, after all, he had not seen much of the world.
He carefully examined one of the colossi for a long time, and confirmed that there was no such thing as a mezzanine, and judging by the sound of external tapping, it seemed that this thing was also completely solid.
It is built by the mountain and chiseled in one go, rather than assembled after the carving of parts.
This...... What a big deal!
During this period of time, following the second master, Zhang Shouyu can be regarded as an eye-opener.
The second master once told Zhang Shouyu that many Buddha statues are not consistent, and the more huge the Buddha statues, the more complex molds are needed, and the more they need to work together to cast.
The same goes for those huge pillars.
After talking about Malta last time, the second master talked to Zhang Shouyu about a lot of knowledge about foreign monuments and tombs.
He said a lot of information that has been extraordinarily precious to this day.
For example, the famous temple of Zeus in Greece seems to have only a few broken pillars left.
For example, there were always people stopping to see the Pillar of the Parthenon, but he, a foreigner, knew that the real Pillar had been removed and buried in the ground next to the National Library, just a few hundred meters from the Place de la Constitución.
Then there are those huge European stone pillars that shake the sky, according to the second master of Qian, there are three kinds of them, namely Corinthian columns, Ionian columns and Doric columns.
When the second master left Europe, it is said that this old man was able to accurately judge the age of the monument by the type of pillar stone.
This is really a specialization in the art industry.
The second master also told Zhang Shouyu that no matter what kind of pillar stone it is, it is divided into several stone sections and built separately, and finally spliced together and finally formed, but this technology is already amazing.
But right now, with these two colossal statues, all the proud insights of the second master before will be turned into scum in seconds.
I guess this is also one of the reasons why the second master was so silent after he went back.
At this point, Zhang Shouyu's interest in this place has completely exceeded the scope of tomb robbery.
After all, any place under these five grandmothers is a well-known existence in the outside world, and it may be more appropriate to say that it is incredible!
Of course, emotion is emotion, Zhang Shouyu still didn't forget to do business.
Zhang Shouyu walked to the edge of the rope bridge on one side and continued to look down at the ninth floor.
"This ......"
Previously, the second master swore that there was no ninth layer at all, and the group still didn't believe it at all.
At this moment, Zhang Shouyu witnessed it with his own eyes, and he was completely conquered.
"This ...... What the hell is this? ”
Zhang Shouyu didn't know how to describe what he saw below.
Beneath the eighth giant rope bridge is a trickle of blazing flames and extremely hot lava.
There are no bronze rope bridges, no caves, and no statues.
Some are just an octagonal prismatic "lid", looming in the midst of the raging fire, looking at the incomprehensible and secret!
Coffin?
Bronze Giant Ding?
Still is...... Anything else?
Zhang Shouyu didn't know, after all, the second master didn't dare to say anything, and it was not his turn to comment.
Zhang Shouyu was just curious, if this thing was really the thing that contained the body of the tomb owner, after so many years of burning in flames, wouldn't it have already turned into charcoal?
In addition, Zhang Shouyu also observed some "clues".
He wasn't sure what those things were, but he knew that the octagonal lid had eight "openings" that looked like eight "wedges" for carpentry.
Through the billowing flames, he could faintly see eight scaly "claws", which were clasped to these eight wedges.
From a distance, it looks like eight iron cables, pulling the centered "lid" straight!
Zhang Shouyu had heard the second master talk about the funeral customs in the Miaojiang area, and there seemed to be a saying of "candle dragon pulling the coffin".
But this is the northeast, the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the inaccessible Wumuyin Mountain!
Zhang Shouyu stared down for a long time, and then sighed faintly.
No wonder those Tufuzi would say that there is no ninth layer at all, and even if this ninth layer exists, it is not a place where human beings can reach at all!
What is an anti-theft tomb?
Compared with this comparison, the sheep farm and the sand flow fire can't be weaker!
Zhang Shouyu didn't have to think about it to know that if the body of the tomb owner was really stored in this kind of area, then his funeral goods must be unheard of, shocking and priceless!
After all, the anti-tomb robbery is so much that he doesn't even let go of himself, and this method is also a little ruthless.
Turning around, Zhang Shouyu slowly walked back.
He doesn't think he has the ability to go down and explore, although his own life is not valuable, but he can't do stupid things.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Shouyu suddenly stopped.
Wait a minute.
The furnishings on the ninth floor were clearly not a day's work, but how did the tomb builders do it in the first place?
Zhang Shouyu doesn't think this is a stroke of genius, although all kinds of signs of Situ's lineage have shown extraordinary, but just like Situ Lingchang said, everything in this world should always have a basic scientific logic!
Merely...... Building a "candle dragon coffin" in the lava fire, what kind of scientific logic is this?
Zhang Shouyu returned to the edge of the rope bridge again, and his eyes were blazing with fire.
"Either there was no lava leak here, but if there was no tongue of fire, there would be no blockage, and the main burial chamber would be open as if the middle door was wide open, which was unreasonable."
"If the Situ clan deliberately uses the fire in this place, then it must be fully prepared, and it has extremely sophisticated fire resistance, and it is not completely impossible for the Situ clan who can build a bronze giant gate."
Zhang Shouyu muttered to himself, he wanted to reason for a while, but the heat insulation suit on his body was already overwhelmed.
Zhang Shouyu had to leave, but his mouth was still babbling.
"If you can catch the fire and set fire to prevent the fire, you can control the temperature difference between cold and warm here, everything can be arranged, if future generations want to pay tribute here, there was no heat insulation clothing in ancient times, and there will inevitably be some organs that can control the temperature of the fire......"
"The fire, the temperature...... Overcoming fire with water, the foundation of the five elements...... Underground Hot River! ”
Zhang Shouyu thought of the underground hot river, indeed, this is the most suitable idea at present!
With the manifestation of Situ's various miracles, since the choice of Wumuyin Mountain as the site of the tomb, the feng shui trend of this place will inevitably be applied to the fullest!
It's just that how to use it?
"There must be some kind of extremely tight device...... Just like the various weapons recorded in the "Notes on the Water Classic", the exterior is insulated from heat and fire, and if necessary, it can be reconciled with water and fire, and this place is empty, and the only thing that can be a water control device is ......"
Zhang Shouyu's eyes widened, and he instantly raised his head to look at the magnificent statues on both sides.
"I see...... I'll just say it's not useless waste just for power! ”
Zhang Shouyu's brain turned fast, but new problems followed.
Even if these two colossos are water-controlling devices, how do they activate them?
Zhang Shouyu thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have the slightest clue, so he could only return to the climbing rope in a huff.
He glanced back at the colossus with some reluctance.
In the billowing mist, the colossus's big feet looked extremely tamped.
Those thousand hands and thousands of eyes obscured by the water mist loomed in the billowing water vapor.
Wait a minute, a thousand hands and a thousand eyes?
Zhang Shouyu suddenly thought of something, and a touch of excitement rose again on his green face!
He immediately threw down the thought of going back, turned around and ran wildly towards the center of the rope bridge!
It's just that his running posture is a little strange, one moment forward and the other backwards, his head constantly tilting his head, trying his best to look at the thousand hands and thousands of eyes of the colossus on both sides!
About ten minutes later, he ran to the center of the rope bridge.
From here, you can see the colossus on both sides for the most complete view.
And so it was...... And so it was...... The old trick is repeated hahaha...... Situ Xuance, you're just like that! ”
Zhang Shouyu's excitement at the moment cannot be concealed.
He remembered the mural he had seen on the seventh floor.
The relief faces of the portraits in the mural, with the flow of angle and light and shadow, will eventually converge to one point, which is the way of life left by the tomb builder.
And at the moment, the eighth and ninth floors, their ideas can be said to be the same!
A thousand hands and a thousand eyes, the pointing of the arms, the direction of the eyes...... As long as Zhang Shouyu observes carefully enough and finds the best observation angle, he can also lock a certain area!
Without further ado, the more Zhang Shouyu looked at it, the more he was distracted, and gradually forgot about the tolerance of the heat insulation suit.
The climbing rope above kept trembling, and it was obvious that Hanyang was signaling Zhang Shouyu.
Before Zhang Shouyu came down, Hanyangzao told him to shake the rope if he encountered any risks, and then Hanyangzao would come down to help.
It's just that right now, Zhang Shouyu, who is obsessed with decryption, is completely disregarded, and time is slowly flowing bit by bit.
After about ten minutes, Zhang Shouyu finally stopped at a corner of the rope bridge.
"This is it!"
Zhang Shouyu's eyes were blazing, and what was in front of him at this moment was an ordinary pig snake bridge deck.
Zhang Shouyu slowly pulled out the saber on his waist, which was given to him by Situ Ling before he came down, although Zhang Shouyu didn't know how to use a knife, it was better than being defenseless, and now he was just used to cut the skin of the pig woman snake!
So, Zhang Shouyu got up and fell with a knife in his hand, and began to carry out "peeling and dissection" on the skin of the pig woman snake in front of him!
