Chapter 510: Bamboo Slips and Silk Texts
After the King Kong cannon pressed the knocking brick, the stone door of the level did not open for a long time, and I waited for more than half an hour without seeing any movement in the level.
"Did you let the monkey pluck the feathers and be afraid to open the door?"
"Possibly!" I nodded. The tomb guard beast in this level should be a bird, and it stands to reason that it should act extremely quickly, if it is impossible to delay the opening of the door until now, it is very likely that it will be tossed and scared by the red jiri macaque in this level.
"Blow it up?" asked Vajra Cannon cautiously. He also noticed that my mood was not quite normal right now.
I nodded and didn't speak, and backhanded motioned for everyone to back off.
There are three more mines, and there are three more levels, and there are enough mines, but I don't have enough time.
Instructed to turn around and ask the mercenaries for mines, several of whom scrambled to take out the mines.
I shook my head at the sight of the sight, the reason why they rushed to get the mines was to reduce the weight of their carrying, so that they could quickly dodge at the critical moment, after all, the mercenaries were scared.
There is no superiority or disadvantage without comparison, and I am much calmer than these mercenaries in the face of death, but I also know in my heart that I am not completely calm, otherwise my emotions would not have fluctuated so much, and my temper would not be so short-tempered.
King Kong Cannon took a mine and walked to the stone gate to choose a place to place it, and just as he was crouching down, the stone gate finally moved.
Unlike the previous mechanisms, the stone door of this pass did not completely open, but stopped after revealing a slight gap.
The sudden opening of the stone gate caused the King Kong Cannon to hurriedly retreat and dodge, and everyone also took up their weapons to concentrate on guard, and the first thing I did was to pinch and observe the breath inside the stone gate to determine what was inside the level.
Due to the small gap between the opening of the stone door, I could only vaguely observe that there was a large amount of wood gas in the level, and after discovering the wood qi, my attention was attracted by a head poking out of the stone door.
The head that pokes out of the level is similar to a human head, and the facial features are similar, with messy red hair, a messy beard, and wrinkles on his face, which looks like a seventy or eighty-year-old man at first glance, but it is naturally not a human being, first, a person with normal nerves will not have red hair, and second, a human will not have a nose bigger than Jackie Chan, and the most important point is that its breath does not belong to a human being, and many signs unanimously indicate that this sloppy old man should be a fire bird change.
The red-haired old man's head poked out and looked around vigilantly, and when his gaze touched us, he didn't stay or be surprised too much, but quickly turned his gaze to look elsewhere, and without asking, it was making sure that the red jiri macaque was nearby.
I laughed at the frightened and alert look of the red-haired old man who had transformed into a bird, and I laughed for two reasons, one was that he was indeed afraid of being bullied by the monkeys, and the fear it showed made me feel funny. Second, my previous guess was correct, and its performance proved that it was indeed inferior to the red jiri macaque.
However, there is one thing I didn't expect before, that is, this red-haired old man who has transformed into a bird is also the peak of cultivation, although it is not as good as the red jiri macaque, but it can also be as long as I was before I was injured. This discovery made me smile quickly, according to this trend, the next three levels should be all guarded by strange beasts with peak cultivation, I only have half a life left now, can I break through?
Seeing the red-haired old man poking his head out, King Kong Cannon shook his nose and pulled out the five-fourth pistol on his waist and turned his head to look at me.
I shook my head slowly, signaling him not to act rashly, this red-haired old man who had transformed into a bird and the previous Guigu Golden Sheep had both been bullied by the monkeys, and maybe they could be resolved peacefully. If you can't kill it with one shot, it will stiffen things.
The red-haired old man looked around for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to us, looking up and down with a puzzled expression.
I frowned, figuring out how to speak.
"Who is here, but there is a jade seal?" Before I could consider the words, the red-haired old man was the first to speak.
As soon as the red-haired old man's words came out, my brow furrowed even tighter, and it showed that it had no intention of running away if it asked us for the jade seal, and it naturally had to perform its duty if it didn't want to escape, and its duty was to stop us from moving forward.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, poor road riding the wind, dare to ask the masters?" I bowed to it, so as to inquire about its roots. Naturally, we don't have the jade seal it wants, so we can only think of other ways.
"If there is no jade seal, lead the crowd and go, disturb my deduction, and the sin is heavy. The red-haired old man didn't bother me when he saw that I couldn't take out the jade seal, and after finishing speaking, he retracted his head back to the level, and the stone door closed instantly.
After the stone gate was closed, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't understand what was going on for a while.
"What does it mean?" asked King Kong Cannon as he turned around.
"It seems to tell us not to disturb it. I said with a frown. This red-haired old man doesn't seem to be in a normal state of nervousness, and the enemy is currently saying that the door will be closed, as if he is closing the door at home. It should know that we're not here for a bunch, we can break in, it's a fart to close the door.
"Why didn't you let me shoot just now?"
"Ten zhang away, are you sure that one blow will be fatal?" I looked back at the King Kong cannon with dissatisfaction, this guy was startled by the suddenly opened stone door when he planted the mine, and jumped out of more than 30 meters, the chamber of the 54 pistol is very short, and it is difficult to aim at a distance of more than 20 meters, and the power of the bullet is very limited at a distance of 30 meters.
"Only the I Ching uses the word deduction, and when it opened the door earlier, I noticed that there were a lot of bamboo slips and silk scripts piled up in the checkpoint, so I suspect that it deduces the I Ching in it. Murong chased the wind and said that he relieved the siege of the King Kong Cannon. She had been standing right in front of the gap in the stone door, and she could see more clearly than I did.
"Possibly. I pondered for a moment and nodded.
Since ancient times, there have been many fanatics who are obsessed with a certain thing, some like to study chess and poetry, some are obsessed with martial arts, and some are obsessed with music and dance skills.
The large amount of wood gas I found earlier should be emitted by the bamboo slips in the checkpoint, the bamboo slips of the Warring States period are equivalent to the current books, and they are not something that ordinary people can touch casually, and Murong Chaifeng also saw that there are silk scripts in it, silk is a silk product that records words, silk is a real luxury in the Warring States Period, except for princes and generals, ordinary people can't touch it at all. To sum up, I have come to a very likely guess, that is, Qin Shi Huang collected a large number of bamboo slips and silk texts about the I Ching here for the red-haired old man to refer to, and in return, the red-haired old man helped him guard the imperial tomb while consulting and deducing.
There is another reason why I have come up with the above speculation, and that is that these levels can't trap the outliers at the peak of the purple qi at all, unless they are willing to stay here, otherwise they are not afraid of scaring at all. The three five-clawed golden dragons guarded by the red jiri macaque are lure, and the I Ching deduced by the red-haired old man is also a lure, and the next two levels are very likely to be similar.
The five-clawed golden dragon grew extremely slowly, which is why the red jiri macaque was stationed for a long time. And the Book of Changes is the essence of Chinese culture, the real mystery of the universe, the creation of heaven and earth, ordinary people and so on can not understand in detail, to put it bluntly, it is similar to pi, is an infinite number that does not circulate, and the study of the sea is dry and rotten can not be studied, this may be the reason why Qin Shi Huang reassured the red-haired old man to stay here, if the I Ching is really so easy to refer to, the red-haired old man will definitely leave here after the final result, and then Qin Shi Huang is estimated to have to cry.
"You said that old bird is studying the I Ching?" King Kong Cannon looked at Murong Chasing the Wind with an excited face.
"We're just guessing that if it was really deducing the I Ching, it wouldn't have opened the door when the red jiri macaque bullied it. Murong Chaifeng shook his head and said.
"Sixth Senior Sister is right. I nodded in agreement. The I Ching is the origin of all cultures, all-encompassing, and the most well-known is that I Ching can predict the future by deducing hexagrams. If the red-haired old man was really deducing the I Ching, he should have expected that the monkey would go in to pick the feathers on its tail, so naturally he would not obediently let the monkey in.
"That's what you don't understand. The King Kong Cannon tilted his head, his face triumphant.
"You know?" I looked at the King Kong Cannon with contempt.
"That's it. King Kong Cannon smirked. The exaggerated expression was exchanged for a disdainful look from Ye Aofeng.
"You performed the I Ching?" I was amused by the look of the King Kong Cannon, and with a smile, I pulled my abdominal muscles, causing severe pain in the wound and sweating in my head. I haven't eaten for a few days, and now I'm seriously injured, and I've really become a qi deficiency and blood deficit.
"Who deduced that thing, I just said I understand. King Kong Cannon shook his head and said.
As King Kong Cannon said, no one can deduce the results of the I Ching, and now people in society claim to be good at deducing the I Ching at every turn, and all these people are counted as one, either grandstanding or taking the opportunity to make money, because no one can deduce the results of the I Ching. If someone really deduces the final result, then he can at least reach the same height as the four sect masters, and he can already dominate the world, so naturally he doesn't need to take a small horse from the street.
"You know. I pouted and said, I have been with him day and night for more than ten years, and I know him better than Murong Chaifeng, not to mention the I Ching with his IQ, he can't understand the two-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
"What do you think I was doing in the decades when I was facing the wall?" King Kong Cannon nodded eagerly, "I have really read the Book of Changes, to be honest, I don't understand it very much, but I feel that the old bird doesn't understand it either, since I can't understand it, it's easy to say." ”
"Tell me, what the hell are you trying to do?" I interrupted him helplessly.
"Fool it......"
