Chapter 70 Width
I do not care with the big gold teeth and the fat man to tell the details of the mystery, only to tell them to follow me to do is, and then according to the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art” in the “recluse” word volume of the principles described in a decent way to glutinous rice gossip, with twenty-three for the ziwu, the projected number of steps, but the I Ching gossip is so difficult, and I do not have the talent, although I know some of the principles, but simply can not figure out the number. Although I know some of the principles, but simply can not count.
My head are counting several circles, the more confused, it seems that I’m really not the material, the heart anxious, simply can not be quiet, no one can help at this time, the fat guy counting money okay, although the big gold teeth business smart, the counting is not his strengths.
Finally, I said to the fat man and the big gold teeth: “Why don’t we also do not waste this brain, since we know the principle of this ladder is the use of high and bottom of the difference between the changes in the special reference for us to circle, it’s easy to cope with, I think we are stupid with stupid moves, or directly down to roll it.”
Fatty said: “Old Hu you just not quite sure can project it? How this moment and change your mind, is not the brain system is not enough to use? I told you to roll down, but what if you can’t roll to the top? Can you guarantee that it will work?”
I said to Fatty, “Yeah, weren’t you planning to roll down just now? After such a short while, you’re wavering again? Rolling down is the only way to win, listen to me right.” However, as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I myself immediately lost confidence, this Western Zhou Ghost Mound’s Hanging Soul Ladder, the angle is very weird, and this path is not feasible.
At this time, the candles around us and burned to the head, in the Gutian bought this small candles, at most can burn more than an hour, Dajinya afraid of the dark, and hurriedly find another candle want to re-light, then suddenly said: “Hey, Master Hu, I remembered another thing.”
The fat man said: “Old gold how you always come to this hand, what is the matter of a one-time say out, do not be so startled, okay?”
Dajinya said: “I am really scared today, now this brain has just slowed down not long, I used to listen to our old man said this kind of organs, but not quite the same, that is a kind of straight road, with the labyrinth, standing in the inside how to look at a road, in fact, seven twisted and eight turns of the painting circle, I also know an old man, he is not a pouring bucket, but he has an ancestor of the Sui Dynasty “Divine Worker Spectrum”, I would like to buy a copy. Divine Worker’s Spectrum”, I want to buy over, he did not go out, but I’ve seen this book, that on the mention of this kind of dungeon maze, there is also a map on it, painted with those Arabic numerals of the 8 entwined with the same, I do not know if that kind of maze with the hanging soul ladder that we are now in the same?”
I said to Dajinya: “that kind of maze I also know, with this principle is similar, but each place is adapted to the local conditions, according to the topography of the terrain, the size of the form has changed, must be able to deduce the trigrams in order to go out, but the problem is that we do not count clearly.”
Dajinya said, “I haven’t heard of the Hanging Soul Ladder, but I heard that old man say that this kind of Soul Hooking Mystery Road was rarely used after the Zhou Dynasty, because the method of cracking it is very simple, and it can’t trap people at all.”
Fatty and I heard him say this, both of us did not pay attention to listen to Dajinya’s words, such a complicated maze, how to crack it?
Big gold teeth said: “in fact, said broken is not difficult, this kind of place is to use the reference ghost, a distance, always seem intentional, seemingly unintentional to get a mark out, once pay attention to these marks, will be introduced to deviate from the correct direction of the divergent path, the angle of the steps repaired and different from the usual, the cross flute is slightly tilted downward, and there are places to flat, and some places are high, which disperses the Attention to the change in angle, the change in the sense of weight and balance is not easy to notice, instead, it is easy to walk out blindly with eyes closed.”
Fatty said to Dajinya: “Aigoo, it’s a damn good idea, let’s walk down blindfolded, not counting the number of steps and not looking at the markers, maybe we can bump out.”
I feel that this approach is never feasible, big gold teeth said, is a more stupid way, although this hanging soul ladder is mainly the use of visibility to confuse people, but the steps of the height of the fall is also very subtle, by feeling to go absolutely not, this “hanging soul ladder” scale we are not clear, God knows ghosts know it’s length of a total of how long, and we are in the “hanging soul ladder” scale we don’t know, God knows ghosts know it’s length, and we are in the “hanging soul ladder”, we are in the “hanging soul ladder”, and we are not sure how long it is. And we in the “hanging soul ladder” on the toss so long time, up and down also do not know how many times back and forth, closed eyes down, donkey years and months can go out?
But how the fuck no way out of it, think of annoyance, can not help but hit the stone wall next to the fist, suddenly thought, right this hanging soul ladder is only used to deal with solo grave robbers, we have three people, can not use the length, you can use the width of the ah.
I think of the way to the big gold teeth and fat man said, he two people nodded, this is really a way, because the width of this step has more than ten meters, a person in the middle, only focus on finding the crescent moon marking on the ground, in a dark, so you can’t see both sides of the stone wall, unconsciously was that marking led to deviate from the direction, into the fork in the road, if you stick close to the side of the wall to go, is not a thing, that would also be If you stick to one side of the wall, it’s not a good idea, then you will also be rolled into the figure eight path, and you will have no sense of direction.
But if three people have lit candles, lined up horizontally, two of them stick to the two sides of the stone wall in the middle to maintain a certain visual safety distance, every step down to contact each other, so slowly go down, see the fork in the road to the whole steps are marked, with a few hours, where there is not out of the reason.
So the three of us according to the plan, with a pen and paper to draw a sketch, no layer of steps are marked in the map, if you encounter a fork in the road, make a clear mark, first with glutinous rice, no more glutinous rice on the use of cigarettes, and indeed not far down the road, found a hidden fork in the road, we will be in the entire steps, with glutinous rice and cigarette butts to do the obvious mark, recorded in the map, and then continue to move forward, and so continue to walk around, and so on and so forth. Recorded map is getting bigger and bigger, really crisscross, the most powerful section of the place, is the intersection of the two vortex together.
This “hanging soul ladder” is the use of natural caves cleverly designed, in fact, is not big, if a large group of people, “hanging soul ladder” can not play a role, but only one or two people, can not take into account the “hanging soul ladder” width, it will be very easy. “width, it is very easy to fall into it, unless the body with enough lighting equipment, every other layer of stone steps, are full of light a row of candles, otherwise only think of looking for the crescent-shaped mark on the steps, that is, there is no life deeper and deeper into the death, in addition to the stone steps of the material is very hard, there is no sharp tool, it is difficult to make a separate mark in the above.
Although the stone step is gray, but obviously was coated with a secret material, even can play the effect of absorbing the light, think of the ancient Chinese people’s intelligence, really teach people to marvel, do not serve can not.
In fact, this kind of secret formula, secret ingredients and so on, in ancient China there are many, but all were monopolized by the royal aristocracy, not used in the repair of bridges and pave the way to improve people’s living standards of this kind of thing, but are used to consolidate their own dominance, or used to design the arch of the royal tombs, at that time, these secrets have never been the privilege of a few people.
Extrapolating from the scale, we drew the map about two-fifths of the way, when there were finally no more steps under our feet, we had returned to the middle of the underworld temple, the human-faced stone coffin was still standing quietly in the southeast corner of the underworld temple.
I looked at the table, we have been in the “hanging soul ladder” on the toss for four and a half hours, it is now about three o’clock in the afternoon, from nine o’clock in the morning ate the last meal, no longer eat anything, hungry stomach slippery, thought that into the robber’s cave, in the Underworld Hall of touching the Ming ware will go, who can think of the many twists and turns, but also met a Who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns and that we would come across a “ghost of a mound” from the Western Zhou Dynasty?
This incident fully exposed our blind optimism, I am determined to make up my mind, I can not do this kind of thing without all the preparations, although the good fight unprepared for the battle, is our army’s fine tradition, but in the pouring of this line of work, obviously not very suitable for the use of this set of war by virtue of the courage and wisdom, and pouring of the hair of the mound, it is more important to be sober minded, rich experience, perfect technology, excellent equipment, fully prepared, these conditions, these conditions are not the same, but a lot of people are not the same. equipment, adequate preparation, these conditions are indispensable.
Underworld Hall of the ground in the middle of the tomb bricks were opened and piled up on one side, there is exactly where we came in the robber hole, previously found that under the robber hole, has become the Western Zhou Ghost Mound Tomb bottom, is the tomb leading to the martyrdom groove of the tomb passage.
Underworld Hall is surrounded by a dark, I out of habit, in the south-east corner of the Underworld Hall lit a candle, but this has been the last one we brought into the tomb, the candle’s tiny flame straight in the burning, to the ghostly underground palace of the tomb brought a small piece of light, light, although small, but it can make people feel that the heart of the heart down-to-earth a lot.
Three people looked at the ground candle, a long breath, after the robbery, the heart is very proud, can not help but relative laughter, I said with the big gold teeth fat man: “how, in the end have to see my old Hu’s ability it, this small place, where to trap us.”
Fatty said: “I and the old gold credit that is also greatly, without us two you own a person, walk down it you, this is only where to where, you began to self-inflated.”
I laughed out loud, however, laughing, but suddenly felt that something is missing, laugh no more.
Where did the two big white geese that I had been holding go? I was in a hurry to leave the “hanging soul ladder”, I did not pay attention in a hurry, I asked the fat man: “Not let you hold them both, how did they disappear? Did you forget them on the Spirit Staircase?”
Fatty swore to God: “absolutely absolutely lead back to the temple of the underworld here, just a moment ago, a happy, let go of the hand, fucking this a turn of the time, where to go? Should not run too far, let’s quickly split up to look for, run far will not be good to catch.”
Two big white geese that ran away, if it is in the hall of the underworld, it has been extremely difficult to find, if it runs to the magnificent scale of the former hall of the pavilion, it is even more nowhere to find, the key is that we are fewer people, and there is no large-scale lighting equipment, groping in the dark where to look for go.
No goose can not get rid of the siege of the ghost mound, this underworld hall is so big, where can we run to? We were just about to look around, suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the human-faced stone coffin, which suddenly appeared in the empty and silent underground palace, piercing people’s ear bones pain.
