Entering the passage, the situation inside made us even more confused. The passage was indeed made of huge stones on the top, bottom, left and right. This made us all believe in the judgment of "Ghost Eyes" that this place was all artificially built.
.
"Ghost Eye" spent some time walking in front. His funny walking posture did not make us laugh, but the passage seemed strangely lifeless. Everyone was very surprised that the passage was very dry, but there was no trace of anything.
There were no decorative items, and no murals or sculptures were found on the four walls.
For an ancient underground artificial structure, this is somewhat unreasonable.
The passage is not very long, only about a hundred meters, and we reached the end.
A blue stone door suddenly stood in front of us. What made us all even more surprised was that this door was still just made of smooth stone without any decoration. It was made of a whole piece of bluestone and was tightly inlaid.
Within the stone wall, some small gaps can be seen except for the upper, lower, left and right sides.
"Ghost Eye" stood quietly, staring closely at the bluestone door with a confused expression on his face.
Master Zengfan walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Please give me some time. Do you feel something is wrong?"
Fei Fan nodded and said, "There are some things that confuse me. This passage, the vertical shaft we came down from, including this stone door, all feel a little wrong and unreasonable in my experience."
"What's going on? Tell me," Master Zengfan said softly.
"Ghost Eyes" frowned and said: "The ghost march that appeared here appeared out of thin air, and the blood snake king suddenly broke through the ground, which made me feel strange. But the appearance of this passage surprised me even more, and now this one appears again
I really don’t understand Shimen.”
Seeing all of us looking at him in confusion, Fei Fan sighed and said: "Ordinarily, according to the Feng Shui direction here and my understanding of the ancient tomb, this should be one of the two burial trenches of the Dragon Tomb.
However, there was such a strange passage. I could have understood it this way: This was the escape passage secretly dug by the craftsmen when they were building the underground dragon tomb. This is also the explanation why there are no decorations in the passage. But
, when I saw this stone door, I overturned my guess. Think about it, if the craftsmen dug the escape passage secretly, would they build this passage so well? Also, they would do it blatantly.
Who built this stone gate?"
"In addition," Fei Fan continued: "The well-preserved stone gate proves that the Blood Snake King never came out from here. Otherwise, the stone gate would have been destroyed long ago. So why did the Blood Snake King break through the well?
Where did it come out? How did it enter the shaft?"
It can be said that everyone knows nothing about ancient underground buildings, and everyone was silent when they heard Fei Yifan's questions.
"Ghost Eyes" looked at each of us helplessly, then shook his head and said: "It seems that I have to solve this mystery by myself. You can't give me any help."
After saying that, he walked to the bare stone door and looked at it carefully.
We all stood behind him and looked at each other, feeling helpless. Indeed, none of us had any experience in entering ancient underground buildings, so we really couldn't provide Fei Fan with any valuable suggestions or opinions.
Fei Fan looked around the stone door for a while, and then said to us: "The person who installed this stone door is definitely a master. To open this door, you probably need to find a mechanism, and it is a very delicate and very dangerous mechanism."
As he said this, he asked us to turn on the flashlight and shine it on him, and he began to slowly stroke the stone walls on both sides of the stone gate with his hands.
After a while, he shouted in surprise: "Found it!"
Everyone gathered around, wanting to see how the ancients set up a mechanism that could open the stone door weighing several thousand kilograms, and how the mechanism was made.
"Ghost Eye" shouted, "Concentrate all the flashlights where my hand is!"
We all hurriedly pointed our flashlights at an area on the right side of the stone gate. "Ghost Eyes" rubbed several protrusions that were almost the same color as the stone wall, and excitedly muttered to ourselves: "Hey, darling, this is a seven-star chain buckle."
.”
Everyone looked at Fei Yifan with doubts, and saw him looking back at us, pointing to a few bumps on the stone wall that were barely visible to the naked eye and said to us: "You see these little raised dots."
Is it? Their arrangement is based on the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky, and these seven protrusions are the mechanism that opens this stone door."
I couldn't help but ask: "Then why is it called the seven-star chain button?"
"Ghost Eyes" blinked his little eyes and explained: "Everyone has heard of Guiguzi, Sun Tzu's master during the Warring States Period? Guiguzi, surnamed Wang and named Xu, was a native of Weiguo (now Qi County, Hebi City, Henan Province) during the Warring States Period. He was good at holding the body.
He is proficient in the art of war, martial arts, and Qimen Bagua. He is the author of fourteen chapters of the "Guiguzi" military book handed down to the world. Folks call him the ancestor of Wang Chan. He is a prominent figure in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. He is one of the "hundred schools of thought".
1. The originator of the strategist family was also an accomplished educator. He often went to Yunmeng Mountain to collect herbs and practice Taoism. Because he lived in seclusion in the Ghost Valley of Qingxi River, he was called Mr. Guiguzi. The seven-star chain link mechanism was invented by him. This mechanism
It is extremely exquisite. The protrusions of each star are connected to a hub. These seven stars are the seven hubs. There is a general hub in the stone gate. The seven-star hub must be pressed one by one according to the rotation direction of the seven-star Beidou to touch the stone gate.
Only the inner hub and the stone gate can be opened."
Everyone couldn't help but marvel that people in the Warring States Period were so smart and talented to create such exquisite mechanism locks.
Fei Fan continued: "Of course, if we make a mistake in calculation and fail to press the seven stars according to the predetermined position and time, then the stone gate will never be opened. Moreover, there are still unknown dangers that may exist."
Seeing that we seemed to want to ask something else, "Ghost Eyes" smiled knowingly and continued: "This seven-star chain buckle is said to have been first used in the Imperial City of Chu during the Warring States Period, because Guiguzi once
He was the prime minister of the Chu State. According to ancient records, a spy from the Qin State once sneaked into the Imperial City of the Chu State and tried to enter the secret vault of the imperial city to steal. He was killed because he triggered the seven-star chain buckle. The reason was that the seven-star chain buckle was pressed correctly.
You can open the main hub, but if you press it wrongly, the seven stars may be connected to the main hub that drives the killing mechanism."
"Are you saying there might be some murderous mechanism hidden inside this stone gate?" Pang Xiaotai asked in confusion.
Fei Fan nodded and said: "Maybe inside the stone gate, maybe around the stone gate. When the ancients hid treasures, built tombs, or hid important things, they would set up some killing mechanisms, such as ancient tombs. Especially some
There are often countless mechanisms, hidden weapons, and messages in the tombs of historical figures. This is to protect their bodies from being stolen by enemies or descendants. Common examples include: when you trigger the mechanism, there will be traps, poisonous fire, arrows and spears.
There are many kinds of hidden weapons, gunpowder, sand and stones, etc. We are talking about this stone door. If the seven stars activate the killing mechanism, maybe a trap will open in the ground, maybe heavy sand will fall from the top of the head, or poisonous fire will spew out from the four walls.
, hidden weapons, etc.”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. These ancient people were really smart. Of course, their methods were vicious. If the ancients were as civilized as modern people, that is, cremation, then there would be no such hidden weapons and mechanisms. It would be so simple.
"Ghost Eye" continued: "Actually, these hidden weapons are easy to guard against. There are many ancient people's anti-theft skills that everyone doesn't know about. For example, they can raise some strange evil creatures that guard tombs, such as raising corpses and raising ancient beasts.
Some people who are proficient in magic or witchcraft even raise some strange things. We won’t go into them one by one here.”
After speaking, Fei Yifan took out a strange, octagonal black thing from his arms. He smiled and said to us: "This is the star compass used by people in ancient times to calculate celestial phenomena. There are...
It is engraved with the precise orientation of the celestial phenomena. As long as the compass is turned, the celestial phenomena above will change. We can accurately obtain the orientation of the seven stars."
He asked casually: "Who has a watch? What time is it now?"
I looked at the watch on my wrist and said, "A quarter past one in the morning."
Fei Yifan nodded, then adjusted the compass pointer and said to us: "Concentrate the flashlight on my hand and the seven-star bulge."
Then he held the compass and walked to the seven-star raised stone wall. Everyone quickly focused all the flashlight light on the position he wanted, and then watched his actions nervously.
"Ghost Eye" Fei Yifan seemed a little nervous. He took a deep breath, then stared at the rotating celestial position on the compass, and slowly stretched out his hand to rub the bulges of the seven stars.
Everyone held their breath and watched as his finger suddenly pressed one of the star positions, and then heard a crisp "click" sound coming from inside the stone door. I felt some sweat seeping out of my forehead, and my heart was pounding.
Jumping loudly.
After a lot of effort in pressing the other star positions on the stone wall, in just ten seconds, as the "click" sound continued to sound, the stone door began to shake slowly.
When Fei Fan stopped his hand, suddenly, the stone door seemed to have stopped, no longer making any sound or shaking.
Just when everyone's hearts sank, wondering if the "ghost eye" had been pressed in the wrong direction, the stone door suddenly made a dull "bang" sound, which frightened each of us and shuddered in our hearts. Just as everyone
While we were frightened, the stone door slowly rose upwards, and a rotten smell overflowed from the gap under the stone door and penetrated into our nostrils.
