Chapter 029: Tomb Horror (Part I)

For modern people, few people can directly understand the "essence of the sun and the moon", or most people think that it is just a very "ethereal" statement.

This is not the case.

A large number of "scientific" experiments have shown that human children who are often exposed to sunlight have an IQ 5-10 higher than those who are indoors, and dogs fed in sunlight have significantly increased size, bones, and hair volume compared to dogs fed indoors in the same group. Nature's "scientific" laws also show that all species living in caves, whether fish or mammals, are severely degraded, and that their IQ and body shape are simply not comparable to those of their close relatives living on the surface.

Modern people think they are "smart" to explain all this with "so-called science". Just as early human beings believed that the sun and moon revolved around the earth, and everything in the universe revolved around the sun, they also found explanations that seemed to be the same as the truth.

And the real explanation should probably be found in the following two sentences:

The Tao is the way, not the constant way. The name can be named, not the permanent name.

The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, and the avenue is nameless, nourishing all things for a long time. I don't know its name, but I am called it.

Chapter 029: Tomb Horror

Going down from the wellhead against the sudden spring water, Guan Xiao followed the master and sneaked five or six meters with a breath, and saw a brick wall, it seemed that the wall was not special, and after touching it, Guan Xiao found that this brick turned out to be metal, but I don't know what kind of metal it is, it has been nearly two thousand years, and there is no rust at all.

Ding Yi stretched out his hand and slapped the wall seven times in a row, Guan Xiao noticed that the master took pictures according to the direction of the gossip, and the first shot was the door of death, and the last door of life was left. The copper wall then slowly opened, and Guan Xiao followed the master inβ€”it was very strange that although the copper wall was opened, the spring water outside did not gush inward. Ding Yi saw the apprentice's doubts, and stretched out his hand to point to a blue bead in front of him, which must be a water-repellent bead. Guan Xiao knew that this was a good thing, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it away.

Ding Yi reached out and took out the lighter, and it snapped, fortunately, this means that there is oxygen, Ding Yi then took out a candle and a palm-length metal stick from his back, lit the candle first, and then pulled the metal stick into a thin stick more than a meter long, with a barb in front, just pierced under the candle- Now the thieves are so rich, Ding Yi has the best things in his hands, the metal rod is made from the spaceship manufacturing base, and the candle is given by the living Buddha of the Tibetan Qingmiao, which is refined with the best yak oil, a wax can be burned for two days and two nights, and a wax is completely burned, at most only three or four drops of wax oil flow, and there is no taste.

Exploring the ancient tomb into the crypt are particular, there are many yin in the ancient tomb, there are many miasma in the crypt, these two gases are turbid compared with the air, so close to the ground, whether it is yin or miasma, are poisonous, once people inhale, the light one is unconscious, and the heavy one is killed. Therefore, most of the grave visitors will open an opening and wait for a few days, and the clever ones will make human blowers.

Due to the urgency of time, Ding Yi is now forced to be helpless, so he can only use a risky method - hold the metal rod in his hand and lean forward, keep the candle at a height of 50 centimeters, and go all the way forward, once the candle is extinguished, it means that the poisonous gas on the ground is too thick, and the master and apprentice both bring a set of oxygen facilities, which can be used for more than two hours, so they will not be used unless they have to.

There are more than 1,000 meters in a straight line from the Huai **** well to the tomb of King Huai, according to this calculation, the underground pit is at least 1,000 meters, about one meter wide, and less than two meters high. The two sides of the tunnel are still brick walls, with a buckle by hand, without exception are metal texture, careful identification seems to be dominated by copper - this is definitely a big deal, in the Han Dynasty, the so-called gold refers to copper, there are not many copper mines in China, the copper walls on both sides of this tunnel are really rich in that period.

The style of the metal wall is very simple, just decorated with stars overhead, and under the reflection of candlelight, countless stars reflect a little cold light from time to time.

"Master, hasn't the tomb of King Huainan been stolen yet?" Guan Xiao asked in a low voice.

Ding Yi sneered: "The real big tomb robbers, don't dare to come, tomb robbers who don't know the details are often trapped in the periphery." ”

"Ah, are you saying that this cemetery is dangerous?" Guan Xiao remembered the various events along the way in Xiangxi, and went up and down.

"Of course. Ding Yi smiled and looked back at his apprentice, under the light, Ding Yi's smile looked a little weird, and Guan Xiao felt even more uneasy in his heart: "Let's just take a look outside, what kind of changes will happen, I don't want to go in and die-don't talk about us, the Tang and Yuan dynasties, Maoshan, Diancang, Huashan and other sects joined forces to visit the tomb, wanting to see if the King of Huainan had refined the elixir, and the result was ...... Hehe, how many real-life masters died in the tomb. ”

"Is it that dangerous?" Guan Xiao muttered in a low voice: "Take advantage of the troubled times, just dig up directly from above." ”

"Digging?" Ding Yi's small cigarette pouch dangled on the top of Guan Xiao's head, and the thief hurriedly shrank his head: "How about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? In one go, he drove the Xiongnu who had been rampant for thousands of years into the desert, and he was regarded as the first emperor of the ages, right? More than 2100 years ago, in order to dig up Liu An's tomb to see if King Huainan was really dead, Emperor Wu of Han invited the two great warcists at that time, Li Shaojun, Gongsun Qing, gather the strength of the four major sects, dug up the tomb of the king of Huai'an from above, only to find that under the cemetery is a round copper tomb with a radius of 100 meters, weighing no less than 10,000 catties, the top of the tomb is poured with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, standing on the ground, you can see the Yellow River, the Yangtze River is turbulent, and the stars are cast all over the sky according to the round place around the sky, that is, 28 stars. Emperor Wu was furious and forced the two great chists to open the bronze tomb, as a result, the bronze tomb suddenly erupted a hundred zhang of flames, and hundreds of virtuous Taoist priests were burned into the air by this flame, poor great warcist Li Shaojun, eight hundred years ago, who had helped Zhou Pingping to control the rebellion of Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai and Uncle Huo, was the big fire chain above the copper tomb and could not enter the ground without a door, and burned for eleven days, and finally could not be solved by soldiers. ”

The thief shrunk his neck, and his heart began to retreat.

The master and apprentice continued to move forward, about another more than 300 meters, through an arched door, the eyes suddenly opened, there was a hall with a length and width of more than 30 meters in front, the hall was in the middle of a lampstand more than two people high, from top to bottom a total of three layers, each layer has four lights, naturally separated at an angle of 30 Β°, each lamp has a leaf-shaped lamp guard on the outside, with the air flow surging, the lamp guard naturally moves to block the air flow. Directly below each lamp, there is also a copper leaf as a support.

More than 2,000 years have passed, and these 12 lamps are still burning suddenly, and the light shines through 24 blades of different sizes, illuminating the hall of nearly 1,000 square meters......

On both sides of the hall, there is also a hanging lamp every 2 meters, and none of them are extinguished, and the smell of lamp oil can be heard in the hall.

What surprised Ding Yi's master and apprentice even more was that in front of the 12 lanterns, there was a stone mill with a diameter of about one meter, and a sturdy buffalo was grinding with its head buried, occasionally thirsty, and lowered its head to drink the lamp oil under the lamp.

Guan Xiao saw that the cow drank oil and stretched out his finger to point at the cow and was about to speak, Ding was quick to see his hand, covered his apprentice's mouth with his backhand, lowered his voice and whispered: "This is the wooden cow in the wooden cow flowing in the horse, the grinding it pulls is the formation eye of this hall, every time it pulls, it will give strength to all the mechanisms in the hall, including dark crossbows, copper nets, copper sand, etc." ”

Oh my God, Guan Xiao's heart was shocked, for two thousand years, the power brewing in this hall was afraid that the copper wall would be shot into a sieve?

At this time, Guan Xiao noticed that the floor of the hall was covered with copper bricks with a diameter of one foot. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous head of the southern faction of the thief sect, Bai Yutang, stepped on the wrong brick and died in an ambush.

Ding handed a small metal stick to his apprentice and motioned for him to hold it. Then he took out a stethoscope and a small rubber hammer from his arms, the old man lay on the ground, the stethoscope was buckled on the copper brick, and gently smashed it a few times with a rubber hammer, and then changed a square brick and smashed it a few times, and after smashing more than ten square bricks at the door, he said to the apprentice's ear: "Remember the square brick I walked, three steps away from me." ”

Guan Xiao nodded, this was not difficult for him.

Ding Dazhang didn't dare to be careless at all, he used his legs and feet together, listening and walking cautiously, Guan Xiao waited for the master to go out of the five bricks, and followed up step by step.
