Chapter 24 Nine Dragons Pit(2/2)
So is there no ancient tomb here? I suddenly uttered an exclamation. All the basis we have used up to this point is actually speculation. It seems that every step we take is right, but as long as one step in the speculation is wrong, we are doomed.
,
But according to common sense, there should be something here. The place pointed on the map should be here. If this is just a stone, can this stone save our lives?
Just when I was puzzled, I suddenly remembered the stone carvings at the waterfall above my head. The most important feature of the layout of the Nine Dragons Pit is that it seems to be unpretentious and solid in the wind, but not integrated into the Nine Dragons. It is like a cage that holds the earth, mountains and rivers together.
The aura is closed, which means that the nine water dragons that symbolize this waterfall are cages, and all the Feng Shui energy is led here by them. If something is to be built below, such as an ancient tomb, the location of the tomb door must be where the nine dragons gather.
I looked around and saw that these nine dragons had almost washed up on the top of the rock at my feet. This would be the right place to gather. When I lowered my head again and looked at the surrounding environment, I suddenly knew what the problem was.
If there is any building below, it was built thousands of years ago. The topography and environment here cannot be verified at that time, but what we can know is that there must be no "Mankola Reservoir" upstream at that time. Then the water volume of the waterfall at that time must be much larger than it is now.
I saw that there were depressions in the center and around the rock, and I knew what was going on. The water flow was very strong at that time. The nine waterfalls should have converged into one. They collided in the air and then fell down. The place where the nine dragons converged should be here.
The sunken part in the middle of the rock.
I shared my thoughts with a few people and ran to the sunken area. They saw that the rock was intact and there was no sign of a secret door.
What's going on? I suddenly wondered if my inference was generally correct.
The young master touched the rock underneath and suddenly asked me: "Lao Xu, why doesn't this rock have moss on it?"
I was stunned. Why? I leaned down, touched it and licked the stone with my tongue. It was astringent.
Immediately I knew that this was a stone skin made of Tianxin rock powder and lime mixed together. It was a primitive cement and the stone was made manually.
"Do we still have explosives?" I asked the young master, "There must be something exploding down there."
When the young master touched the backpack, there was only one stick left, which he planned to use to commit suicide. Fortunately, he took it out from the two bundles of detonators, otherwise we would have to use a hammer to smash it.
The young master immediately took out a hammer and chisel. The cement was not hot enough but very hard. After beating for a long time, he made a hole and put the detonator in. The girl and I hid in the water. The young master pulled the fuse and ran into the water.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the boulder we were leaning on shook violently, and a large amount of gravel exploded and fell into the water.
When the vibration disappeared, I climbed up and saw that the power of this was really great. A big crater was blown out in the middle of the whole rock. At the bottom of the crater, I saw that there was a lot of carbon ash and plaster under the cracked stone layer.
I saw two huge bluestone slabs, one of which had exploded, revealing a small opening with a staircase leading straight into the darkness below.
I couldn't hold back my excitement. The theory of Feng Shui was indeed of some use. When the young master saw the entrance of the cave, he wanted to go down. I stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, you are no longer a boy. Why are you still so rough? Be careful, it's a boring hole."
Wang Ruonan's eyes lit up at this time and he said, "This must not be a pit, this must be a mausoleum. This kind of tomb passage is called an approach passage. It is not a regular tomb passage. It's just that the tomb door used by craftsmen to enter is still inside. Come in quickly." When we heard this, we were overjoyed and asked: "
Are you sure that it is Liu Qu’s royal tomb down there?”
Wang Ruonan said he didn’t know because the structure of the tomb passage here seemed different from that of the Western Han Dynasty, but even if it wasn’t down here, it should be where we were going.
I told her that I was stunned for a moment, then followed her carefully and stepped on it.
It was pitch dark in the approach road and we couldn't see anything. We turned on the flashlight and saw that the walls of the tomb passage on both sides were made of black and green stones with a large number of cranes carved on them. It seemed that this road had some symbolic meaning. We carefully went down a dozen huge steps.
