I have always been cautious about this kind of metaphysics before, but considering that the ancients have been developing it for thousands of years and have always believed in it, is it just a science? Maybe it really contains some truth.
At least, after I entered this tomb, what I encountered, saw, and heard was beyond the scope of what science can explain, and it was completely beyond my previous knowledge. Their existence was also telling me
Proving that these fantasy things have always been real.
The two dragon-shaped stone sculptures on the Dragon Zhentai are lifelike, but the image is not as depicted in modern dragon portraits. They appear more abstract, with sharp edges and corners, less majestic, but more ferocious.
I understand that in ancient times, the evolution of the dragon totem has not yet reached its extreme. To put it bluntly, it was just imagined out of thin air based on some strange animals.
So what is a real dragon? What does it look like? What kind of personality does it have? No one should be able to answer these questions.
Regardless of whether it is a real creature, whether it is a dragon from ancient times or a dragon that has evolved perfectly in modern times, they all have one thing in common, that is, they represent supreme power and majesty. Dragons all have huge powers.
Magic is the existence closest to God. Perhaps people's thoughts in their hearts are to get closer to God by communicating with it and worshiping it, in order to achieve the concept of unity between heaven and man.
Therefore, I have to admire the people at that time. Maybe they were a little ignorant at the time, but they were able to create and stand up as their own beliefs and totems, which also required great wisdom and courage.
"Is this the ultimate secret?" I turned to look at Blind Man Chen, because we had reached the end of the cave and everything was clearly visible. Except for the Dragon Zhentai, there was nothing around that could attract our attention.
But Blind Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not. We haven't met the owner here yet, so how can we finish the calculation."
"The owner of the tomb?" I was also looking forward to it. There are too many stories that happened in this tomb, and everyone came here for the purpose. But who has the ability to build such a giant tomb, what is the identity of its owner?
Blind Chen called all of us together, and without explaining anything to us, he directly asked us to turn the giant cauldron on the dragon-suppressing platform.
This giant four-legged bronze cauldron is more than one meter high and is estimated to weigh at least five hundred kilograms. A giant cauldron of this size must have been a special ritual vessel for the Wang family in ancient times. What mystery does it contain?
As we began to turn the tripod, a clicking sound began to be made under our feet. The sound became slower and heavier from the rapid sound at the beginning. When it reached the critical point, the dragon-suppressing platform suddenly shook violently, and then slowly
It sank downwards.
This kind of sinking speed is very slow. Except for a slight tremor at the beginning, it seems to be completely still after that. You can't feel any vibration at all.
I was very surprised. What kind of mechanism is so exquisite? What is its power? How could people at that time have such advanced technology?
This is really unbelievable. Originally, I thought I knew a lot, but as the contact deepened, I became less and less understanding of the people of that period, and I was trapped in an endless loop.
"Hutou, you must be wondering how this mechanism works, right?" Blind Chen suddenly turned to me and said, he must have seen the confusion on my face.
I nodded and said that with the technology that people had at that time, it seemed that such an advanced and sophisticated mechanism should not exist.
Blind Chen smiled and said that this mechanism looks very mysterious and exquisite. This is because you have no idea how it works. If you knew, you wouldn't feel that way.
I asked a little more, and Chen Xiazi clarified my doubts. He said that this mechanism is actually not complicated at all. It can even be said to be very simple. If you float something on the water, when it reaches the critical point, you only need to move it a little.
Add a little bit of weight and it will sink.
I frowned. Listening to Blind Chen’s words, the dragon-suppressing platform seems to be floating on the water, but... I said that we just turned the tripod body. Where did the sudden increase in weight come from?
Woolen cloth?
Blind Chen looked at me funny, then looked around and said, "Aren't we enough?"
I was stunned, and after thinking for a while, I suddenly realized that if this was the case, then as Blind Man Chen said, such a mechanism is very primitive and simple.
To put it bluntly, this mechanism has been activated since we boarded the Dragon Zhentai. No, it should be said that this mechanism is activated at any time. It is just controlled and does not sink, and we turn the bronze giant cauldron
Just remove that obstacle, so that the Zhenlong Platform will sink normally. If the weight is not much different from the buoyancy of water, the sinking speed will be very slow, and of course it will be very stable and almost uncomfortable.
There is no movement. And as long as we all step off the Longzhen Platform, it will float again, and the mechanism will return to its original state.
Although the mechanism is very simple, it can also be said to be very ingenious. With the knowledge of people at that time, it was very rare to come up with such an exquisite mechanism.
Soon, the dragon-suppressing platform was flush with the ground, until it finally collapsed into a large square pit. At this time, we saw a portal appearing on the wall on one side of the pit. It was a stone door, with a height and width of more than two meters.
The passage inside extends diagonally toward the rear.
Under the leadership of Chen Xiazi, we walked into the stone gate. Sure enough, when we left, the Dragon Zhentai began to rise slowly upward again. I couldn't help but worry in my heart, what should we do when we come back?
But this worry soon disappeared. When the Dragon Zhentai was restored to its original state, I saw a round hole facing the stone gate. It was higher inside and lower outside, and there were several round holes on the side of the stone gate.
The shaped stone beads are smaller than the hole. As long as the stone beads are stuffed in, the Dragon Zhentai will sink again. At that time, we can climb up the stone cave from the Dragon Zhentai.
I think there must be a stone cave deeper in the cave. When the position matches, the stone beads in the Dragon-Suppressing Platform will fall out, otherwise the Dragon-Suppressing Platform will not be able to float up again.
After that, I focused all my attention on the next thing. Under the leadership of Chen Xiazi, about five minutes later, we finally arrived at the final place.
Finally, I was about to touch on the final secret. I was extremely shocked. Seeing everything in front of me gave me a huge visual impact.
At the end of this secret, there is also a natural cave with a diameter of a hundred meters. In the center of the cave, there is a water pool about fifty meters in diameter. In the center of the water pool, there is a raised round boulder.
And above the boulder, there is a huge bronze coffin hanging.
The giant bronze coffin is more than two meters long and one meter wide. There is a copper ring at each corner. Four chains as thick as arms extend from the four directions of the cave to hang the giant coffin. It is less than three feet away from the huge rocks below.
The distance makes everything seem simple and mysterious.
The moment I saw this giant bronze coffin, I immediately remembered the giant bronze coffin in the sacrificial scene in the mural I had seen before. The two giant coffins were very similar in appearance. No, now I should say that the giant coffin in front of me was
The coffin was originally the giant coffin described in Nabi's story.
While I was deep in thought, the monkey and the fat man next to me both had their eyes widened, and they kept yelling and screaming to open the box.
Just listen to the fat man say: "Mom, it's not easy. Even the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers combined can't contain all the bitter water in my belly. This trip has been so painful. Now I finally meet the real owner.
There is nothing more to say, I have to lift this shell no matter what, my happiness for the rest of my life depends entirely on it."
"Hey, Nagua, you have such a petty bourgeois mentality. Let's look bigger and farther away. Why are we opening this box? Don't say it's for money, that's too vulgar. This is art! We're doing it for
People all over the world are discovering the beauty of ancient Chinese performance art to contribute to our great motherland and people all over the world. Do you understand this?"
"Mud Monkey, what you say makes sense, but we can't be just. Revolutionary comrades also need to eat. What we pursue in socialism is that the people of the whole country can have enough to eat. We also have to follow the trend of the times, otherwise.
Let’s fill our stomachs first, and then we can be righteous with the rest, okay?”
"Nothing to say, Nagua, what you said has touched my heart. Look at how skinny I am. It was all due to hunger in the past. Let's fill our own pockets first. Let's talk about this.
Okay, I won’t regret it."
"Hey, the one who knows me is a clay monkey!"
When I heard that they started distributing benefits as soon as they arrived here, I felt like I couldn't laugh or cry. I still don't know what is in this giant coffin. If there is only a skeleton, I think they will cry!
"I told you two, don't embarrass yourself here, okay? If there's a moving thing in that box, I'll see what you should do!"
"Stop, stop, little prince, you can't say this nonsense, it will cause big trouble." The fat man said quickly.
"That's right, Tiger Head. I've seen it clearly along the way. You have a real crow's mouth. You've always been good but not bad. If something really goes wrong this time,
Needless to say, it all depends on you."
I was defeated. In front of these two misers, nothing made sense at all. It was just like what A Xue said. Their heads were full of treasures, and most of them leaked out of their ears.
When I came out, I couldn't listen to anything at all.
I simply ignored them and walked directly to the pool.
