The palace where the timing copper leak is located is located in the southeast of the main hall. After confirming that the sound of the piano was indeed produced by the timing device, the three people left here and continued to follow the footprints on the ground to the inner palace hall.
Although he never encountered any traps after entering the imperial mausoleum, he did not dare to take it lightly, because until now he was still unable to determine the true purpose of the Qin people in building this mausoleum. Not understanding the other party's true purpose was the most dangerous thing. Even taking precautions
Don't even know where to start.
Not long after, the three of them came to the square in front of the main hall. The square paved with blue stone slabs was very empty, with only two three-legged incense burners of human height placed on the east and west sides.
There are messy footprints left on the square by many trips back and forth, indicating that Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu had entered and left the main hall of the palace many times before.
The presence of footprints also proved that there was no danger in the main hall. The three of them climbed up the steps and soon arrived at the door of the main hall. The main door of the main hall was ajar. Without even raising their hands, Da Tou jumped in front of him again.
Opened the palace door. .??.
The architectural style and official rank system of the Tang Dynasty largely followed the old customs of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The main hall in the Qin Dynasty was very similar to the main hall at that time, and even the dragon chair facing north was exactly the same as the dragon chair at that time.
The main hall was the place where the emperor went to court. During the meeting, all civil and military officials stood in the audience. But now there is no one in the hall. Only ten copper boxes are neatly placed in the middle area from north to south. These copper boxes are the same size, and each one is empty.
Each bite is three feet square.
After observing from outside the hall, just as he was about to cross the threshold, Datou walked into the hall before him again.
Knowing that Datou repeatedly jumped in front of him, he was worried that he would be in danger, so he jumped in front of him and took the risk. He didn't say anything in the past few times, but this time he finally stopped him, "I will walk in front from now on, and my cultivation level will be better."
You are taller and can deal with it faster than you."
The big head nodded in agreement, then quickly walked towards the copper boxes to the north, "Your Majesty, these boxes have all been opened."
Without waiting for an answer, Da Tou opened the first copper box. The copper box was very heavy, but Da Tou was a Qi practitioner, so it was not difficult to open it.
At the same time as Datou opened the copper box, he and Batulu also came quickly, leaned down and looked down, and saw that the copper box was empty, with nothing in it.
"Hey, why is it empty? Where are the things inside?" Barturu was confused.
"They were taken out by the second and third senior brothers." He said casually. The wall of the copper box is three fingers thick. Due to the thickness of the box and the tight connection between the box body and the lid, the inside of the copper box is still green and yellow, while the box body is still green and yellow.
The outside is already slightly green.
While the two were talking, Big Head opened the second copper box, which was also empty.
Before that, I had always thought that those round gold cakes were stored in another sealed area. Only then did I realize that those gold cakes were also stored in the imperial mausoleum, but the copper box was solid and heavy, blocking the outside air.
These ten boxes all have locks on them. If you want to open the boxes, you can only pry the locks. These locks have all been picked open without exception, and Big Tou's inspection results show that all ten boxes are empty.
.
"Your Majesty, this last box doesn't seem to contain gold cakes." Big Tou looked at the last copper box.
Before he could get closer, Batulu ran over curiously, "Isn't this also empty? How do you know what's inside?"
"The impressions in the box are square." Datou said.
When Da Tou was talking, he had already come closer and took a closer look.
, what the big head said is indeed correct, there is a five-inch square indentation on the bottom of the box. The color of the indentation is slightly black, which is in great contrast with the green and yellow bottom of the box.
"The things in here must have been taken away by the second master and the third master." Datou said.
Instead of answering, he reached out and wiped the black indentation. Through the fine powder remaining on it, he could tell that the black indentation was left by iron tools.
"What's inside is a smaller iron box," he said.
"Iron box?" Datou Duo was puzzled, "I've heard of copper boxes being placed inside iron boxes, but I've never heard of iron boxes being placed inside copper boxes."
"What you are talking about is the eight-fold treasure letter of Buddhist relics," he said. "You only thought that copper is precious and iron is cheap, but you ignored that iron has another use."
Batulu has followed Luo Yangzi for many years and knows a lot about Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. He immediately reacted when he heard the words, "Iron objects block Yin and Yang, and they are contained in iron boxes. There must be something unusual inside."
"The uncle is knowledgeable." Datou took the opportunity to flatter Batulu.
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Batulu is no exception. He immediately grinned happily when he heard the big words.
He took a few steps back and looked at the ten copper boxes in the hall again. After a while, he said, "The problem lies in the tenth box."
"Why did the prince say this?" Datou asked eagerly.
He said in a deep voice, "Although there was no Taoism in the pre-Qin Dynasty, there was already the school of Huang and Lao. According to Taoism, the first is Tai Chi, the second is Yin and Yang, the third is Three Talents, the fourth is Four Directions, the fifth is eternity, the sixth is extinction, and the seventh is
For vitality, eight is the Eight Diagrams and nine is the Supreme.”
"What about ten? What is ten?" Datou asked curiously.
"Ten is the return to unity," he said. "As the saying goes, if things are not at their best, everything will turn upside down. If you continue to seek after the Supreme Being, you will have nothing and return to nothingness."
"Hey, Lao Wu, why does six mean death and seven means life?" Batulu asked in confusion.
"The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper govern life, and the Six Stars of the South Dipper govern death." He said casually.
Batulu suddenly realized, "We were together all the time at that time. Why don't I remember what Master told you?"
"These are what I learned at Longhu Mountain." He said.
Seeing that Batulu stopped asking questions, Datou asked, "My lord, do you mean that the second and third masters will be in danger?"
Nodding slowly, "The first nine boxes contain gold, but the last box contains an iron box. If the visitor accepts it as he likes, there will be no danger. But if the visitor is dissatisfied with his desires,
, if you want to gain everything, you may be severely punished.”
After saying this, Datou and Batulu both nodded. This truth is not profound. They have already taken nine steps back. If they still don't know how to restrain themselves, don't blame them for being rude.
"My lord, you don't need to worry. The second master and the third master are all martial arts masters and resourceful. No matter what happens, they can turn danger into good." Datou said in relief.
He didn't answer. Before, he had always thought that the two soldiers were taking risks for gold and silver. But it seemed that was not the case at the moment. He couldn't think of anything worth risking their lives for the moment.
"What's in the iron box?" Batulu scratched his head worriedly.
He said, "Iron objects block yin and yang. If you work backwards, you can get the answer. The things placed inside must be able to influence yin and yang..." The palace where the timing copper leak is located is located in the southeast of the main hall. It is confirmed that the sound of the piano is indeed emitted by the timing device.
