Chapter 120: Seven Stars in a Row

This explanation made everyone confused, only Tang Da and Mo Qizhong listened to it with their eyes lit up, these two hot infighting were well versed in the art of mechanism building, and they probably understood the mystery.

Seeing that the usually taciturn second brother Xie Zhenliang was talking about this lot of truth like a river at this moment, Zhang Fatzi was still a little skeptical, shook his head and asked: "In the end, these are just your own speculations second brother, how can you prove it?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone felt that the ground under their feet shook again, and there was a dull sound, and their faces changed, and it seemed that the mechanism had been activated again.

Xie Zhenliang raised his head and said to Zhang Fatzi: "If you want to prove whether what I just said is true or wrong, it's actually very simple. The mechanism has been activated again, and you can open the stone door to see if the stone chamber we walked through earlier has changed again. If that has changed, then my theory is correct. ”

Zhang Fatzi strode majestically to the stone gate, but at the moment when he was about to stretch out his hand to push the stone door open, he suddenly hesitated.

In the end, what kind of situation did he look forward to after pushing the door open? In the end, did he hope that the second brother Xie Zhenliang's statement was correct or not?

If all this is not controlled by a huge mechanism, is it really the power of ghosts and gods?

Everyone else in the stone room stood still, no one followed him, everyone looked at Zhang Fatzi, waiting for him to bring results, but no one was willing to check it in person, because even they didn't know which result was more difficult to accept.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Fatzi pushed open the heavy stone door in front of him and walked into the room they had passed before.

After a while, he walked back from behind the stone gate with a calm face, didn't say a word, just walked to Xie Zhenliang's side and nodded to him.

Everyone's hearts sank, it seems that the stone room has indeed changed, and what Xie Zhenliang said is true.

Ye Feng looked at the strange text symbols on the ground in front of Xie Zhenliang, and asked softly: "Second brother just said that Tang Ao had been using these words to calculate the operation rules and time nodes in this maze back then, but he didn't know, did he calculate it?"

Xie Zhenliang's eyes revealed a scorching light, and said: "This Tang Ao is indeed a genius, this algorithm may not have been created by him, but based on these text symbols that very few people can understand, as well as some data that I don't know where to go, he really deduced the operation rules of this labyrinth and the opening time of the passage to the central mausoleum." ”

"This algorithm is very complicated, and the laws of the huge mechanism under this labyrinth are secretly in line with astronomical phenomena, so it is difficult for me to explain it to you for a while. To put it simply, it is divided into nine floors from the inside to the outside, with only eight stone chambers on the innermost floor and 28 stone chambers on the outermost floor, adding up to more than 100 stone chambers inside and outside. ”

"Each chamber is the same size and shape, the only difference is the mural carved on the wall of each chamber, each one is different. According to the algorithm left by Tang Ao, we can not only clearly calculate the specific position of the stone chamber we are in in the entire labyrinth at a certain time, but also calculate the specific route we need to go to the mausoleum in the center of the labyrinth. ”

At this time, Mo Qizhong on the side suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "It's no wonder that Tang Taigong was able to take us out of the labyrinth back then, it turned out that he already knew in advance about the results calculated by Tang Ao, so he was naturally able to take us to find a way out." ”

"It's just that," he frowned and asked again, "Since these words can be calculated as the route to the central mausoleum, why didn't Tang Taigong lead us directly into it back then?"

Xie Zhenliang said: "I have already said before, the law of the operation of this mechanism is very complicated, once it is opened, the stone chambers leave their original positions, and the passage to the center is closed. Only at a certain point in time, when these stone chambers are turned back to their originals

The channel will be opened. ”

Zhang Fat bit his lip and said, "Isn't it so amazing? So isn't it that we can't enter the central mausoleum? When is this special time node?"

Xie Zhenliang smiled slightly: "According to Tang Ao's calculations, this special time node should be when the Seven Stars Alignment occurs. ”

At this time, it is possible to meet an extremely rare astrological phenomenon only once in a few decades, and it is not hopeless to meet such a time node that is impossible to meet?

Looking at the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, Xie Zhenliang smiled and said, "You don't have to be discouraged, if my expectations are correct, tonight is the time when the Seven Stars Alignment happens outside." ”

What the?

Everyone was surprised, and Zhang Fatzi asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Xie Zhenliang smiled bitterly and said: "Very coincidentally, before we set off from Xi'an City, I happened to receive a letter sent by my father, and I mentioned in my heart that my father had calculated that there would be a vision in the sky tonight, which was the time when the Seven Stars Alignment occurred. ”

"At that time, I didn't think there was anything special, my father has always liked to calculate some astronomical stars and the like, until I determined that Tang Ao's calculations were closely related to this labyrinth, and the time node he calculated happened to be the time when the Seven Stars Alignment occurred, and then I felt that everything seemed to have its own providence. ”

"Providence?" Tang Da smiled sarcastically and asked, "How can you be sure that the Seven Stars Alignment is the characteristic time node of this labyrinth?"

Xie Zhenliang hadn't answered yet, and Mo Qizhong on the side spoke: "First of all, the first emperor in history, his life is inseparable from the movement of the stars. He was born in Zhao State, and when he was born, there was a different phase in the sky, and everyone thought that it was a bad omen and would inevitably affect Zhao State. At that time, his father, the king of Qin, Sun Yiren, who later became King Xiang of Qin, was still a proton in the state of Zhao. ”

The ministers of the Zhao State have spoken out one after another, demanding that the father and son of the alien be killed in order to conform to the celestial phenomena. Thanks to Lu Buwei, a wealthy businessman who thought that strangers and strange goods could live at that time, he did not hesitate to bribe the courtiers with a lot of money, which saved the lives of the Yiren father and son in front of King Zhao. Later, he finally ascended the throne and became the prince of Qin, and sure enough, he finally destroyed the Zhao State and ruled the world. ”

"In the late period of the First Emperor, before he died of illness, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky, and legend has it engraved with the words "The First Emperor died and the earth divided. Everyone thinks that it is providence, but now it seems that this matter is too mysterious, and most of it is deliberately done by someone to create momentum. ”

However, from the year before the death of the First Emperor, a rare constellation appeared in the sky. The Glowing Star is red, glowing like fire, also known as the Red Star, the Punishment Star, representing disaster and death, but the Glowing Star has long stayed next to the heart of the emperor in the Twenty-Eight Nights, and everyone thinks it is a great omen. Sure enough, in the following year, the First Emperor died in the sand dunes on his way out, and the Great Qin Empire collapsed. ”

Therefore, during his lifetime, the First Emperor believed in the theory of the Mandate of Heaven and the Astrological Signs, and also sought immortals to visit the Tao for a long time in order to live forever. Such a superstitious person would say that his mausoleum was built in conjunction with the astrological signs, but it is also reasonable. ”

Tang Da listened, but his eyes looked at Zhang Fatzi, Zhang Fatzi knew a lot about historical allusions, and Tang Da seemed to be asking him for verification.

Zhang Fatzi nodded, indicating that all this was indeed as Mo Qizhong said.

Mo Qizhong's eyes were fixed on Tang Da, and after a pause, he said: "Moreover, Tang Da Shao, you must have heard of that prophecy before, you should know the importance of this time of the Seven Stars Alignment, do you still have any doubts?"

Tang Da didn't speak, and lowered his head silently.

Ye Feng on the side was moved when he heard it, prophecy, what prophecy?

He remembered the conversation he had had with the wise reincarnated living Buddha in the desert, Little Sanchi, who seemed to have mentioned some prophecy as well, and it seemed to be very important.

But when Ye Feng asked again

, Xiao Sanji deduced that the time had not come, and at that time he knew that he would not confide in half a word, looking mysterious.

Now that Seventh Uncle Mo Qizhong also mentioned any prophecy, and it seems that even Tang Da should have heard of it, why didn't he know about it?

Originally, he wanted to open his mouth to ask, but seeing that Mo Qizhong quickly closed his mouth, Tang Da also lowered his head and was silent, expecting that they would definitely keep their mouths shut, so it was better to wait until there was a chance to ask Tang Da in private.

At this time, Zhang Fatzi asked Xie Zhenliang: "If everything is really as expected by the second brother, and now when the seven stars appear is the time when the passage to the central mausoleum is opened, then how should we go now?"

Xie Zhenliang lowered his head, carefully looked at the strange text symbols engraved on the ground in front of him, thought about it for a long time, and leaned down from time to time to write on the ground, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Yes." ”

Everyone's spirits were all lifted, and it seemed that there was hope in front of them, and they all looked at Xie Zhenliang with longing eyes.

Xie Zhenliang walked straight to the mural on the wall, looked at it carefully, and then turned to Zhang Fatzi and asked, "You went to the stone room next door just now, what is carved on the mural inside?"

Zhang Fatzi thought for a moment and replied: "What is engraved is the story of Wu Anjun pulling out his sword and killing himself." ”

Xie Zhenliang nodded and did not speak.

Zhang Fatzi was a little anxious, and asked, "How about it? What should we do now?"

Xie Zhenliang smiled slightly, and said confidently: "We don't have to do anything now, we just need to wait." ”

Fat Zhang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Xie Zhenliang said: "Wait for the huge mechanism underground to operate here, and wait for the mural of the Che Crack Shang Martingale carved on the wall of the stone chamber next door. ”

Zhang Fatzi had no choice but to wait silently.

Everyone was waiting silently, and when they were bored, a question suddenly popped up in Ye Feng's mind: "The stone chamber in this labyrinth is carved with the great achievements of the First Emperor during his reign, but Shang Ying's death happened more than a hundred years before he was born, why was it engraved on this stone wall?"

Xie Zhenliang smiled faintly and said: "In fact, in this labyrinth, there are more than 100 such stone rooms, and the murals inside are not all carved during the reign of the First Emperor, but the important ** in the process of turning Great Qin from weak to strong, and finally swallowing up the Six Kingdoms and dominating the world. ”

Ye Feng still didn't understand: "Shang Ying's change of law is indeed a landmark of the Qin State from weak to strong, but later after the death of Qin Xiaogong, he was counterattacked, and finally the car cracked and died, which was regarded by the world as a big stain on the Qin State, and it was not a glorious thing, why was it also portrayed here?"

Xie Zhenliang didn't answer, but the fat man Zhang on the side couldn't help but interject and said, "Fourth, you only know one and don't know the other." Yes, Shang Ying's reform of the law did make the Qin State rich and strong, from a small border country that was bullied everywhere, to become the most powerful overlord among the nations. ”

In contrast, Shang Ying, who made great contributions to the reform of the law, was inevitably too miserable, and it is said that after the death of Qin Xiaogong, he was besieged by the enthroned King Qin Huiwen sent a large army to besiege his fief and want to arrest him. He was defeated and fled, but he was cornered and could not find even a place to live, so he was captured by his pursuers and finally died of a car split. ”

However, there is a very strange problem in this, from the accession of King Qin Huiwen to the time when he sent troops to round up Shang Ying, there was an interval of more than a year, how could a smart person like Shang Ying not see his own situation, so as to find a way out in advance? With his fame and ability at that time, there were a large number of kings in other countries who looked forward to him being voted for by a world-famous national soldier like him, and they were afraid that they would not hesitate to condescend to him and welcome him. How could he end up in a desperate situation?"

Ye Feng couldn't figure it out, so he also asked, "Yes, why is this?"
