Chapter 244 Signal
When everyone arrived at the fifth floor of the Black Tower, they felt a little strange. There was nothing on the fifth floor, not even the base of the stone statue.
Ye Bai was not too surprised. He vaguely remembered that in the original work, the fifth level was interpreted as an imaginary number space, which is the space where Queen Jingjue used her eyes to banish enemies.
In the exquisite culture, the imaginary number space is superior to everyone except the queen.
In this case, the stone statue of Queen Jingjue should be placed on the sixth floor of the Black Tower.
Everyone walked up to the sixth floor, and sure enough, there was a carved black throne, with a woman in gorgeous clothes and a veil sitting on it.
The statue is lifelike. Even with the veil, you can still feel the beautiful Western style of Queen Jingjue.
Jin Abacus said: "Like the Queen Jingjue painted by Prince Gumo on the mural of the ancient tomb, this should be a full-length portrait of the Queen, and she is also the highest-status being in the Jingjue Kingdom."
Chen Yulou nodded: "Wearing a veil, it's a pity that it's hard to see his true face."
The entrance to Queen Jingjue's tomb is hidden under the mound next to the black tower. Ye Bai did not waste everyone's time and came to the entrance after leaving the black tower.
The entrance is a stone building covered with yellow sand. After Chen Yulou cleaned up some of the yellow sand in the corners, he discovered that the building seemed to be a temple.
Everyone worked together to dig a tunnel, put on gas masks, and used flashlights to illuminate their way forward.
The temple has been buried under the yellow sand for thousands of years. The space inside is dry and cold, but it is very spacious and has sixteen giant stone pillars.
Shining a flashlight on it reveals that a jade eyeball is enshrined in the deepest part of the temple.
Everyone moved forward slowly, fearing that they would touch the mechanism and step on the gaps in the stone slabs, until they came to the jade eyeball.
There are naturally formed red threads and blue pupils in the jade, which look like an eyeball with distinct layers, almost like the real thing.
Everyone looked closer and saw that the jade was as natural as the sky, without any trace of artificial carving, as if it was naturally produced.
Chen Yulou and Jin Abacus were speechless. I am afraid that there will never be another treasure like this in the world.
The only pity is that there is a groove on the jade eyeball with a strange shape, like a jade pendant, which ruins the overall beauty.
The jade eyeball is inlaid on the stone platform, and the missing jade pendant needs to be inserted before it can be removed.
If Ye Bai remembers correctly, the jade pendant was obtained by Fatty Wang's father from suppressing bandits. There is no trace of where the jade pendant is now.
Ye Bai looked over his head with his flashlight again, and saw a green and white meat ball hanging on the roof of the hall.
The meat ball is like a transparent ball, with a dark worm wrapped in the middle.
It should be full of black-headed monster snakes.
If you can't remove the jade eyeball, you won't be able to disturb these strange snakes like in the original work.
But Ye Bai thought about it and knocked down the meat ball.
The burning kerosene combined with Chen Yulou's flares burned the last wave of black-headed snakes.
There are sixteen giant stone pillars in the temple, each with six eye patterns on them. The base of the stone pillars is a regular hexagon, with different symbols carved on it, corresponding to the six-story black tower.
Jin Abacus speculates that the jade eyeball is an artifact used for sacrifices in the temple, and the sixteen stone pillars are arranged in the same way as the sixteen dragons that penetrate the ground. The layout of the entire temple implies the number of giant gates.
Ye Bai nodded. The Sixteen Dragons of Penetration, also known as the Sixty Dragons of Penetration, can be used to divide gold and determine good and bad luck. It is a very ancient formation and is also recorded in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Secret Technique.<
/p>
The person who wanted to build this temple was also a Feng Shui master who was proficient in the Five Elements and Bagua.
Among the earth energy veins extending from the sixteen giant stone pillars in the temple, only one is a real dragon, and the entrance to the tomb is above the dragon's head.
Now we are looking for the real dragon!
Ye Bai had the reference of the system map and quickly fixed his gaze on the floor tiles on the right side of the jade eyeball, which was where the dragon head was.
According to what Jin Abacus said, Ye Bai calculated in reverse and couldn't help but feel that he had benefited a lot. He had figured out the Sixteen Dragon Formation.
Although Ye Bai worshiped the golden abacus as his teacher, he did not learn much about the real skills of touching gold from the golden abacus.
It's not that Ye Bai doesn't want to learn, it's just that this thing really requires talent.
"It seems that I will have to drag the master to the grave together in the future." Ye Bai thought in his mind.
Within two minutes, Golden Abacus also found the position of the dragon head.
I saw him stepping on the floor tiles at the entrance, smiling and asking Ye Bai: "Apprentice, let me test you, where is the entrance?"
Ye Bai said expressionlessly: "Right at your feet."
Jin Abacus' expression changed, and he cursed secretly that he was looking for trouble for nothing, why should he compare with this kid?
He felt more and more that when it came to finding tombs and caves, even his master Zhang Sanlianzi could not compare to Ye Bai when he was still alive.
No matter this, he can be considered a successor.
Chen Yulou knocked on the stone bricks, and there was an empty echo.
Although it is empty under the stone bricks, it still requires machine control to open without brute force.
The golden abacus stopped in front of the nearest stone pillar, called the partridge whistle, and the two of them worked together to twist the hexagonal base.
"Looking for a dragon a thousand miles away, look for it on the left and right, follow the Yang five steps, and follow one of the Yin, give it to me!"
As Jin Abacus's words fell to the ground, a crisp "click" sound was heard from the ground.
The stone bricks dented, revealing a bottomless tunnel.
Ye Bai used a flashlight to briefly explore, and found a black stone staircase sloping downwards, and he couldn't see clearly further down.
Now that they have found the entrance, everyone is not in a hurry to go down.
They were on their way at night, and it had been about fifteen hours since they had rested. It was better to rest here for half a day before going on.
Ye Bai took out a floor lamp and some fruits from the space, and everyone sat around the lamp, eating and drinking.
Hua Ling went outside to collect some firewood and made a fire to make tea.
Before Chen Yulou finished chewing his apples, he was pulled outside by a partridge whistle and a green flare was set off.
Outside the sacred mountain, Karama couldn't help but ask when he saw the flare.
"Old foreigner brother, what does this mean?"
The old foreigner smiled: "It means that senior brother and the others have found the location and have not encountered any danger."
Karama smiled naively: "That's good. If Uncle Ye and the others come out early, we can go back early."
It's late afternoon.
Ye Bai woke up from his meditation state and saw Zhang Jiuyi tinkering with copper coins. He couldn't help but said: "Uncle Master, we are about to go to the tomb. Can you give us a divination?"
Zhang Jiuyi put the tortoise shell on the copper coin, looked up at Ye Bai, and asked expressionlessly: "Do you want a good or bad hexagram?"
Ye Bai smiled bitterly: "Of course it's a lucky hexagram, who would want a bad hexagram?"
Zhang Jiuyi shook his head: "Good or bad can happen in a single thought, and sometimes good fortune is not always a good thing."
"So, let me ask you again, do you want everyone to be safe during this trip, or do you want to find a way to lift the curse?"
Ye Bai somewhat understood Zhang Jiuyi's meaning. The bad luck was determined based on what he wanted to divine.
