Chapter 102: Seeing the Six Instruments Escape Again
As soon as Wen Mo said, Kong Xue was stunned for a moment, "But if we don't destroy these human skins, how can we pass through this stone door?"
Shi Tao came over and patted Kong Xue on the shoulder, "Xiaoxue, you have to know that even if there are no such things on the stone door, with the strength of a few of us, it is impossible to open such a door!"
Kong Xue looked up and down, then nodded, "What should we do? How should this stone door pass through?"
Shi Tao continued: "If you want to open this door, you might have to use some heavy equipment. And we..." As he said that, Shi Tao looked at Wen Mo, and then looked at me.
I looked at the stone door and said softly: "The human skin on the stone door cannot be moved, and this door must not be opened."
Kong Xue hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"
I pointed to the human skin on the door, "These human skins are an ancient art of sealing the door, used to resist evil spirits!"
Kong Xue nodded, "I know this, I have already said it just now. I am worried that the evil spirits outside will enter the door!"
But I slowly shook my head, "You are just the opposite!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Shi Tao and Kong Xue suddenly looked at me with surprise, "Zhuo Ran, what does this mean?"
Wen Mo next to him also turned his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. My vanity was still very satisfied when I was able to show off my skills in front of Wen Mo.
I continued, "My grandfather once said to me, the technique of sealing the gate, both offense and defense! I have never understood what his words meant. I knew that just now, I suddenly thought of it."
"What did you think of?" Kong Xue urged.
I pointed to the ancient battlefield behind, "The Zhou army fought against Shan Huan Kingdom, and finally won a great victory in the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty entered all parts of the royal city and saw something that was incredible to King Wu of Zhou."
Shi Tao nodded and said, "That's right, this is indeed recorded in historical materials."
I shone the flashlight at the stone door, "You are looking at the human skin on this door."
Kong Xue glanced at it and turned her head to the side, "Oh! It's so disgusting! Just say it, I'll just listen!"
Shi Tao looked carefully with my flashlight and said, "The human skin on this stone door is not evenly sticky, and some are even stacked together. This is not a joke, so it should not be so hasty. Obviously, after this stone door was opened, it was re-enclosed by the human skin again."
"You mean," Shi Tao said after thinking, "this stone door is often closed, so it is not for people to use in and out of everyday life!"
I nodded and Kong Xue asked, "Even so, this is Shan Huanguo's own thing. They opened the door and sealed it. Is there any problem?"
"No, the last time the person who opened and closed this stone gate was not the Shan Huan Kingdom, but the Zhou army!" I said, "Look at the human skin at the bottom of the stone gate, it looks the same as ours. This is obviously the human skin used by the Shan Huan Kingdom to seal the gate. In ancient times, most of the people who were used to do this kind of thing were slaves. This means that in the ancient Shan Huan Kingdom, our seemingly normal race has a very low status, and the real aristocratic rulers are probably people with long arms and long hands that look like deformed races."
Shi Tao looked carefully as I said, "That's right, it's really like you said!"
I pointed to some other human skins in the Shimen and said, "If you look at the human skins in the upper class, they are obviously those deformed races with long arms and long hands. It is obvious that this layer was done by the Zhou army that defeated the Shan Huan Kingdom."
Shi Tao nodded, "What you said makes sense, but what does this mean?"
I took a deep breath and said, "The question is, why did the Zhou army, as the victor, seal this stone gate? Is it because I am afraid that the evil spirit outside will enter the stone gate and affect the Feng Shui veins of the Shan Huan Kingdom? Obviously not, that is, there is an explanation. The Zhou army did this because they were not afraid of things outside entering, but afraid that things inside would come out!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Shi Tao and Kong Xue's faces changed instantly, and they subconsciously retreated away from the stone gate. Kong Xue looked at the huge stone gate tremblingly: "Then what is behind this stone gate?"
I shook my head, "I don't know." After that, I looked at Wen Mo next to me, "Boss, am I right?"
Wen Mo nodded gently, "The art of sealing the gate is both offensive and defensive. Is this what your grandfather told you?"
I nodded, "What? Is there any problem?"
Wen Mo shook his head, "Your grandpa is not simple!"
"Do you know my grandpa?"
Wen Mo shook his head, "Okay, let's continue, don't waste time here!" After that, he walked along the stone gate to both sides.
Kong Xue looked at me, "Since this giant door cannot be opened, should there be other entrances?"
"It should be." I replied, "but I don't think this is the urban area where the people of Shanhuan live. It should be the core area of the royal city, in other words, it is the confidential place of the royal city."
Shi Tao's face became a little serious, "In other words, the level of danger here is much more dangerous than we expected at the beginning, right?"
My heart also became uneasy, "I'm afraid this is the case!" I looked at the huge stone door standing there. At this time, it not only brought me a sense of oppression, but also a huge attraction!
"Let's go," I stepped up to Wenmo, "There must be other routes to enter."
We began to search along the stone gate toward its side, but walked a distance and found no other entrance.
We couldn't help but stop and rethink whether our strategy was correct, "Are we wrong, or the route was off?"
"But logically, it's true. The design of this giant door is obviously not open until it is absolutely necessary. So what should I do if I go in? There must be other passages!" I think it's not time to make a conclusion yet, "it's like some ancient tombs. Although the tomb door has been closed, there will still be a secret passage for the tomb guards to enter the tomb room regularly, inspect, clean and organize and worship."
So we started to search again along both sides of the stone gate. This time Wen Mo put his hand on the stone wall and carefully observed the traces on the stone wall, hoping to find some clues.
Sure enough, this method worked. Not long after leaving, Wen Mo suddenly signaled us not to leave. We hurriedly surrounded us and saw a human face carved on the stone wall.
The carving technique of this face is similar to the human faces I saw on the ground between the two stone statues just now. Is there some connection between them?
We looked forward along the stone wall again, and then we found that every distance, such a human face carving appeared. The expressions were also different, some were crying, laughing, some were frowning and some were sinister.
We searched the other side of the stone gate, and we also found several human faces carved on the stone wall.
I couldn't help but be confused, "There are some human face carvings on both sides, and there are also some human face carvings in the middle of the stone statue in front of the door. Why did they do this? What does it mean?"
Wen Mo was groping for the carvings of the human faces on the stone wall, and fell into deep thought. For a moment, everyone was silent. What was placed in front of us was a dead end. We could only hope for these human face clues to find a way to pass.
Suddenly, Wen Mo seemed to have thought of something and quickly returned to the middle of the two huge stone statues. We hurriedly followed him back, "Wen Mo, have you thought of something?"
Wen Mo looked at the faces carved on the ground under his feet, then looked at me, and said word by word: "Do you still remember Liuyi Dunmen?"
"Liuyi Lunmen?" I thought for a moment, and immediately realized that when we were in the pirate's tomb, we were trapped in the mechanism of the Liuyi Lunmen set up by Xu Fu, and we were almost melted by the white liquid. I still remember that experience on the front line of life and death.
I looked at Wen Mo in surprise, "You mean, this is also a design for Liuyi Dunmen?"
Wen Mo shook his head, "It's not exactly the same, but it's extremely similar. It's not impossible to crack it."
I nodded. The Liuyi Dunmen itself originated from the Qimen Dunjia, which was derived from the ancestors' refinement and summary, and then changed. The Qimen Dunjia was originally infinitely varied, and each form has many expression methods, but their principles are the same.
Although I thought so in my heart, I still had no idea how to solve the mystery in front of me. Shi Tao and Kong Xue, I could only watch Wen Mo "perform" by myself.
Wen Mo carefully checked the carving of human faces on the ground, and then performed another measure-like action. I was stunned. Does it still require mathematical knowledge to crack this mechanism?
After Wen Mo checked the situation on the ground, he went to the stone statues on both sides and carefully checked the positions of the stone statues close to the ground. He checked them very carefully. But we couldn't keep up with his thoughts at all, so we could only sit aside with shame and look at them with admiration.
We didn't walk over until Wenmo stopped, "Boss, thank you for your hard work, but I saw what you were measuring here just now?"
Wen Mo said casually: "I used some Luoshu things and found the specific direction."
I nodded in confusion. Although I basically didn't understand anything, it seemed to sound very profound, but I still knew something about Luoshu.
Luoshu is also called the turtle book. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a divine turtle from Luoshui. There was this image on its shell. The structure was nine-legged shoes, three-legged on the left and seven on the right, two-legged on the left and eight-legged on the shoulders, six-eight on the feet, five-legged on the center, five-legged on the five-sided white circles are all yang numbers, and the black dots in the four corners are yin numbers. It is said that the significance of Luoshu lies in how to organize everything into an orderly operating whole in the face of the vast world. This is the meaning of Luoshu.
