Chapter 80: Exploring the Mountains at Night
Chapter 80: Exploring the Mountains at Night
The night of the mountain was dark, and there were soldiers standing guard on every road. Indeed, Bishan has always been a place of yearning for the powerful and tomb robbers. The powerful wanted to have a piece of land in the mountains after death, and the tomb robbers thought about the dream of getting rich overnight. Therefore, Bishan has always been the place where the magnates sent troops to guard the most to prevent tomb robbers from stealing the burial goods in the tomb.
Tonight's Bishan is a little more weird, with more soldiers and a group of magnates from the capital. They were divided into two groups and camped across the mountain, staring at each other angrily, refusing to give in to each other. But it was surprisingly quiet, without the slightest appearance of fighting, just ignoring each other and not buying each other. In fact, everyone is waiting for the appearance of a person, a person who has been missing for three months and caused a sensation throughout the country, Princess Chiba, the baby daughter of Duan Wangye.
Duan Wang Ye is the commander-in-chief of the northwest, and he controls the most elite troops in the country, against the Turks and Tibetans, two countries with the most ferocious cavalry. Protecting the safety of the Tang Empire. His daughter has been missing for three months, and all the people are gathered in Luoyang, all of whom want to snatch the princess, if this great credit falls into the hands of whom, then the Tang Empire is not Ren Jun, and the world is famous?
Wang Shan didn't have the heart to be famous, he didn't bother to think about these things now, what he wanted to do was to get back his things and protect the safety of the escort team's family, but the general's order was in Bishan, and he didn't dare to entrust the princess to others, so he knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to Tiger Mountain. Bite the bullet and force yourself to go up the mountain.
The trees in the mountain are tall and dense, and the shrubs and weeds are too high to exceed the head, which also creates a good opportunity for Wang Shan to avoid the checkpoint. He followed the steepest road towards the mountain, and Xiao Ruoshui followed him like a shadow. After walking for an hour. Wang Shan stopped, and this place had reached the halfway point of the mountain. The officers and soldiers are no longer visible. Wang Shan looked around carefully and slowly squatted down. After groping in a tree hole for a long time, he heard a slight creaking sound, and a half-person high hole appeared in front of Wang Shan, Wang Shan beckoned Xiao Ruoshui to jump down, he covered the tree hole with grass and soil, as if it had never moved, and then motioned Xiao Ruoshui to jump down the hole, after Xiao Ruoshui jumped down, Wang Shan also jumped down. He groped towards the stone wall again, and after a squeak, the entrance to the cave closed, and Xiao Ruoshui just wanted to speak, but Wang Shan covered his mouth. He said, "Shhhh The two of them leaned tightly against the cave wall, not daring to come out. There was already a sound of Suo Suo overhead, and someone in the distance was walking towards it. From time to time, there were bursts of shouting.
"Grandma, why didn't you even see a figure when you heard a voice just now?" a voice said angrily.
"What the hell is in the middle of the night? Oh my mom, don't scare me. One soldier exclaimed.
"Smack" a whip sounded. The screams of soldiers were heard.
"If you don't search well, you will disturb the morale of the army for me, and beware of going back to serve in military law. A rough voice came, apparently an officer. The leather whip in his hand had just hit the soldier who said hell.
The group searched carefully, but still found nothing. Indeed, Wang Shan's mechanism is very cleverly designed, and from the hole in the tree hides the mechanism that opens the hole. The entrance to the cave is open to the sky, and you can jump into it after pushing it open. Then closing will basically maintain the original appearance, and people will pay attention to the mechanism that stands or is high and is the mechanism that enters. There are very few tomb-like mechanisms, and they are subterranean.
In addition, people are stepping on it, and the entrance to the cave is even more difficult to find in the dark.
The group searched carefully, but found nothing, and in the voice of the officers gradually disappearing scolding, the team returned to the camp.
Wang Shan and Xiao Ruoshui relaxed, Wang Shan opened a thousand miles of fire, illuminating the hole for a while, Xiao Ruoshui looked at this place carefully, there is a bit like a gate in front of the boundary, empty, opposite them is a white marble stone door, the door is carved with exquisite patterns, the content of the pattern is a group of birds around the peacock, Wang Shan slowly walked over, nodded a few times to the peacock eyes on the stone door, the stone door opened with a bang, there is a corridor inside, there is a lampstand on the side, it is full of lamp oil, Wang Shan lit the lamp while walking, closed the stone door casually, now the stone gate is bright, Xiao Ruoshui asked Wang Shan curiously"Did you take someone to build this place?" Wang Shan shook his head and said with a smile: "A prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty built it, and before he could bury himself, he was killed, and he didn't live there, my grandfather was one of the designers, and he was fortunate to hide here and escaped a catastrophe, and when he was dying, he passed the drawings to my father, and my father passed them to me, in order to save my life one day, so I know this place." There is a room in this room that stores enough food and water for 20 people to eat for three years, so it is also a place of refuge in the event of war. ”
Xiao Ruoshui looked carefully at the structure of the tomb, which was a long corridor leading to a hall, the hall was square, and there were two doors on each wall, each engraved with the words gossip. The words Qiankun Gen and other words are written respectively, and in the center of the hall there is a long altar carved with the pattern of a peacock. He followed Wang Shan to the center of the altar, and he noticed a strange thing, the peacock's eyes were gone. Two holes are exposed, which are extremely inconsistent with the whole picture.
Wang Shan looked at the picture carefully, he stared at the peacock's eyes and said to Xiao Ruoshui seriously: "After the peacock's eyes are installed for a while, there will be a very short hint indicating the direction, you have to find the door that needs to be opened correctly during this time, otherwise we will lose this opportunity." The last time I came here, it was instructed by your master Song Daochang, but he didn't want to get involved in my affairs, so he was waiting for me outside. ”
Xiao Ruoshui looked at Wang Shan in surprise and said, "What do you mean that the opening of the door must be obtained by cracking the Nine Palace Bagua Formation, otherwise it won't lead to the right place?"
Wang Shan nodded, "I can have drawings to crack the design of the mechanism inside, but this entrance must be opened with the most confidence of your Xiangmen talents, because you are the first person to design the tomb, and this tomb is also designed by your Xiangmen people, and the person who designed this tomb is the previous geophysiognomist Wu Baisong." My grandfather designed the back mechanism, and the choice of the structure and location of the entire tomb was all decided by Senior Wu. ”
Wu Baisong is the most famous master of Kanyu after the Jin Dynasty, his Kanyu technique has reached the point where it can be reversed and can be changed, and the tomb he designed generally has a change in formation, if you accidentally enter and there is no way to crack it, it will generally be in vain. But he never harms people, he just makes people retreat from the difficulties, and he is also a teacher who pities the people and understands the people's feelings. The rivers and lakes generally respect him, and the tomb robbers also admire him, because he always leaves a way back for people, and he never stops behind, so his reputation has always been very good.
Hearing that it was the masterpiece of the senior master, Xiao Ruoshui did not dare to slack off, and began to look at it seriously, Xiao Ruoshui carefully observed the surroundings, he walked around the tomb a few times, and touched the door from time to time, then closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said to Wang Shan: "Let's start." ”
Wang Shan stared at the peacock and took out two pieces of black jade from his pocket, jade is white, yellow is the most common, jade is green, red is common, this jade feels like a star in the dark night, flashing under the light of the lamp, like a blinking eye.
He slowly put it up, the peacock suddenly seemed to be alive, winking at Xiao Ruoshui, Xiao Ruoshui looked at the peacock's eyes carefully, he stared at the peacock's eyes, watching it flash and flash, and suddenly the peacock's eyes stopped flashing, as if it had returned to an ordinary picture. The entire burial chamber seemed to have lost its luster, leaving only the lights flickering with fire. (To be continued......)
