Chapter 73 Guizi Gate
Chapter 73 Guizimen
The most wonderful thing about this wind burial tomb must be the arrangement of these limestone pillars.
Whether it's ghost hand fern or red saltpeter powder, if I have such a rich family and can take out these objects, I will also arrange them. The difficulty in this matter is how to reconcile yin and yang.
These limestone pillars are responsible for this responsibility. Their arrangement is dotted, and when viewed as a whole, it is a very famous formation - the Nine Sons Chain Formation.
This is a military formation in the ancient art of war. It originated from Qimen Dunjia's Nine Palaces method. It is arranged like a nine-square grid and intersects with each other. The most essential part is the word "trap".
The arrangement of the last heavenly official can be said to be ingenious.
The power of the two tombs, water and fire, were in conflict with each other. They turned into water and fire. They poured in here, panicking like a riot. The last heavenly official used these limestone pillars as a strong force and laid out a nine-character chain formation. Naturally, this was
The chaotic Feng Shui Qi field was trapped and slowly dissolved.
He fought the Feng Shui arrangement here as a battle, and he was still the winner. On the contrary, I, a descendant of my generation, am not a master of military arts. I have only seen some ancient formations occasionally, and I can't pick them up easily, even when standing.
In front of this arrangement, I was stunned for most of the day without even looking at the doorway.
To find the living gate here, the key is to break the formation.
The Nine Sons Chain Formation is a well-known ancient formation, and the method of breaking it has long been determined. The most critical point is to attack the joints of its movement to make it inflexible, and then attack the first position to make the rear part empty, and the formation will collapse on its own.
The current position of the robbery cave is exactly at the running joint of the Nine Sons Chain Array. The limestone pillars turn strangely here. It is the so-called nine-turn loop. If the robbery cave is opened here, it will naturally lead to the next layer of tombs.
"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a master of the Northern sect, maybe even a descendant of the legendary General Faqiu Zhonglang, our old rival of the ceremony officials. We build tombs, but they rob tombs. Don't say that the ceremony officials are ruthless.
, the opponents are really too powerful, and they cannot be guarded against without using some insidious means. For example, these few people have such sharp eyesight that they can tell at a glance that this is the belly of the stacked tomb building, and they can directly find the location of the next layer of tombs.
, it’s a pity that it still failed.”
While muttering, I stood up and groped carefully on the old crooked neck rock pillar.
These tomb robbers found the right location, but they entered in the wrong way. The real portal should be nearby. If nothing unexpected happens, the most likely possibility is on the rock pillar in front of you.
"Yes!"
After a while, a smile appeared on my face.
When my fingers brushed against the rock pillars, I clearly felt a difference.
The feeling there is not the roughness of the rock pillar itself, but rather sharp, like the edge of a razor blade that has been brushed horizontally.
The kite brother was holding a miner's lamp, and I almost lay down there to observe carefully, and then I could see the doorway clearly.
It was a very, very small gap, just like a hair, and it was almost completely invisible on this uneven and strange-looking limestone pillar.
"These tomb robbers are quite pitiful."
Zhang Xinya muttered: "The door is right in front of them, and they all had the trouble of digging such a long hole, and just forced themselves in."
"You can't say that. Hidden doors like this are extremely hidden. I guess that in the hundreds of years after these tomb robbers failed, there should have been earthquakes in this place, which made this door slightly embedded. Otherwise, this
The door of this kind of machine cannot be touched at all, let alone the slightest gap.
It can only be said that we are relatively lucky. There are these tomb robbers in front of us to carry the thunder, and God is also helping behind us, so we found the right place. If the earthquake had happened before these tomb robbers came, maybe we would be gone now.
No matter what happens, these gentlemen can find the right place. If there is any damage or flaw in the door at that time, it will definitely not escape their eyes."
I shook my head and followed the gap bit by bit. After a while, the shape of the door was already clear.
This is a gate with the word "Gui".
Tomb doors similar to this are very common in this shape because the seams are easier to make and are more concealable.
Nine out of ten doors with the word "Gui" are built-in doors and are one-time use, with the entrance just behind the door.
I tried pushing inside, and there was a "rumbling" sound inside the rock pillar, and some gravel rolled to the ground.
The door moved, and now you can clearly see the shape of the tomb door.
However, that's all. No matter how hard I try, the tomb door won't move at all.
"what happened?"
Brother Yaozi asked suspiciously: "Is there any other mechanism?"
"It should be gone."
I shook my head: "Maybe the earthquake damaged this door. It was originally tightly fitted, but cracks appeared, indicating that the tomb door is a little tilted, just like a twisted screw, and it is stuck!"
"I'll try!"
Brother Yaozi pulled me to one side, gently patted the door with the word "Gui", growled low, and suddenly exerted force.
There was a loud bang, and the "Gui" gate was instantly pushed back dozens of centimeters, causing the entire rock pillar to crack.
"Where's the entrance?"
Brother Yao Zi stepped back panting: "This has been pushed to the end, where is the entrance?"
"Maybe... I guessed wrong?"
I was also a little dumbfounded. The gate with the word "Gui" had reached its end, but there was no entrance.
I had to get closer and observe more carefully, and found a metal slide exposed on the ground. This slide was originally pressed by the Guizi Gate, but now with the movement of the Guizi Gate, it was completely exposed in front of us. Inside were some
The rusty metal parts are very delicate.
"Although I guessed wrong, I was right."
I laughed sarcastically and said: "There should be no accidents this time. This door with the word 'Gui' is not a tomb door, but something similar to a switch button. You see, there is a metal slide below, which is connected to the real tomb door."
To put it bluntly, the tomb door uses the principle of leverage. If you press the door with the word "Gui", the real tomb door will open..."
After all, I have the same idea - although I guessed wrong, I managed to find the real tomb door.
"Where is the tomb door?"
Zhang Xinya had a dark face and got straight to the point: "According to what you said, the button was pressed, but there was no reaction!"
"this……"
I scratched my head: "Look, this metal slide is rusty, which means that the mechanism has aged a bit. This thing is just like modern machinery, it becomes inoperable when it ages, and... who knows how many things are underneath.
The levers are connecting each other. Generally speaking, the longer the reaction time, the heavier the tomb door is. To open it, more levers need to be used. Let's wait a moment and let them move and warm up first.
one time……"
Zhang Xinya curled her lips and was about to taunt me, when suddenly there was a loud "rumbling" sound under her feet, mixed with bursts of "click-click click" sounds of mechanical operation.
A crack opened silently on the ground.
The cracks are very long, probably extending at least tens of meters.
"Damn it, the tomb door is under our feet!"
Brother Yaozi whispered: "How big is this tomb gate?"
Whether the tomb door is big or not does not seem to be the most important issue now, escape is the most important issue!
The tomb door is on the ground, which means that the passage is vertically downward!
This place is said to be a tomb, but it is also a prison. It cannot be judged by common sense. There are desperate paths everywhere. Who the hell knows how deep it is? If you really fall down, you will not die.
!
"run!"
I groaned and ducked into the ghost-hand fern not far away.
In fact, when it comes to danger, I am the most dangerous. After Brother Yaozi opened the door, he and Zhang Xinya stepped back a little. Only I ran over to study the slide. Now the situation was not right, and the two blinked.
I retreated in a blink of an eye, and I felt miserable...
Boom!
There was another loud noise underground, like a bomb exploding, which made people's ears buzz. The soil on the ground collapsed instantly, and the tomb door opened...
No, to be precise, it should not be described as opening, but as popping open, very suddenly and very quickly.
My feet were empty and I plunged into the endless darkness without even a chance to scream.
"It's over, Guizimen shouldn't be so broken!
That thing is connected to the tomb door. You should press it slowly, and the tomb door will slowly open...
Brother Yaozi rushed in, and the tomb door suddenly collapsed. But the mechanism has been ineffective for a long time, and the response is slow. It comes suddenly and unexpectedly, and it is impossible to prevent it. I deserve to be unlucky. This is the result of poor academic skills!!"
When I fell into darkness, this was the only thought left in my mind...
