Su Jiu didn't find anything in the black hole at the moment. It was completely pitch black. Su Jiu himself didn't feel any discomfort. The only feeling was that the stone chamber was too big.
The size is a bit weird. The entire square meter is over a thousand. Such a large stone chamber is located under an ancient tomb. There are no statues or buildings, not even a support point. This is completely weird.
Su Jiu walked a certain distance, stopped, let the bright light above her head illuminate the front, squinted her eyes, and began to think.
Strictly speaking, the appearance of this stone chamber is somewhat abnormal. On the surface, this ancient tomb is a regular burial method of the Han people. Its specifications should be a layout of one main body, four sides and eight assistants. However, from the moment I entered it,
After this passage, it is completely different. There are no side rooms. From the passage, open the stone door and you will find the main tomb. After entering the main tomb, you will face the formation.
After breaking the formation, there is now such a tomb stone chamber below it.
This kind of layout is not like the layout of ancient tombs at all. As far as I know, no ancient tomb in Chinese history has such a structure.
Su Jiu thought secretly in her heart and frowned slightly.
This layout does not look like an ancient tomb at all, but rather looks a bit like an underground palace.
"Underground palace? By the way, this is probably an underground palace. If it looks like it is an underground palace, then everything can be explained clearly." Su Jiu suddenly understood and thought with insight.
"This is where you really enter the ancient tomb. What we just walked through was a pseudo-cemetery palace." Su Jiu murmured a few words with certainty.
In Chinese history, ancient tombs have had thousands of patterns. But all of them follow one point. That is, everything is dominated by the main tomb chamber. No matter what kind of ancient tomb, there will never be a passage directly leading to the main tomb chamber.
, this point is beyond doubt.
Like the pattern I just experienced, there is a passage after the main road, which leads directly to the main tomb room. This itself is not in line with the common sense of ancient tomb architecture.
However, if it is said that it is not the main tomb chamber, but the underground palace, then everything will be explained clearly.
Although the underground palace is rare among ancient tombs, it is indispensable or a very important component of Chinese ancient tombs. Its ultimate purpose is to protect the existence of the main tomb chamber. Or
It is said that it is to protect the coffin in the main tomb. It is a deceptive scheme designed.
"If there is an underground palace above, then there should be an underground palace door in this underground stone room." Thinking of this, Su Jiu couldn't help but feel certain in her heart, a glimmer of light flashed between her eyes, and she began to murmur.
Su Jiu knew that generally speaking, there would be a stone gate in the middle of the underground palace leading to the ancient tomb. For high-standard ancient tombs, the underground palace even had three stone gates. The structure and closing method were the same, and each stone gate was unique.
There are two doors. The door frame is wrapped with copper and pressed on the copper door. Inside the parallel lines of the door sill, there will be a floor paved with white marble. Next to the lower corner of the stone door, there will be two grooves about the size of half a watermelon.
Stone pits; facing these two stone pits, there will also be two shallow pits poked on the ground about two feet away.
And a shallow trench with a high inside and a low outside was dug in the middle of the deep and shallow pit. In addition, a watermelon-sized stone ball was premade for each stone door and placed on the shallow pit inside the stone door. When the burial ceremony was completed, the stone door was closed.
At that time, the two doors did not fit together, and there was a three-inch gap in the middle. Then use a long-handled hook to extend through the crack of the stone door, and hook and pull the stone ball in the shallow pit outward. The stone ball will follow the chiseled hole.
The small groove rolled into the deep pit next to the door, closed the groove, and happened to hold up the stone door. From then on, the stone door could not be opened unless it was destroyed.
So if the guess is correct, there must be an obvious stone door in this stone room.
Some people may wonder, since the stone door cannot be opened, what is the use of finding it, and you cannot enter the ancient tomb through the stone door.
The stone door cannot be opened. This is only for ordinary people. In fact, in the history of China, all craftsmen who built ancient tombs will follow one principle, that is, leave a trace in everything and leave nothing unfinished. Generally speaking, the craftsmen of ancient tombs in China
Everyone knows Feng Shui.
He can be regarded as a half-feng shui master. To put it bluntly, he will keep a hand. This hand is to prevent the owner of the ancient tomb or his family from killing people after the tomb is built.
It is very common in Chinese history for ancient tomb craftsmen to build an ancient tomb and then be buried with the owner of the ancient tomb. However, the skills left by the builders of ancient tombs are not a secret in the craftsman world and even the Feng Shui world.
became a well-known secret.
The only difference is whether the secret door left behind, the method of escaping the ancient tomb and opening the stone door is hidden.
And Su Jiu now thought of exactly this.
As long as you find the stone door, you can open it and enter the ancient tomb.
Thinking of this, Su Jiu immediately started to move.
She continued to explore the huge stone chamber, but this time, the route Su Jiu took was not the same as before. This time, Su Jiu walked specifically against the wall. The stone chamber was about three to four meters high.
, are made up of huge stones piled one after another. Su Jiu estimated that the stone walls in this stone room are at least two meters thick. Of course, how thick it is has nothing to do with him. The most important thing for him now is
, looking for the stone door on the stone wall leading to the ancient tomb.
She had explored by herself before, but she was not as careful as she is now. She just took a preliminary look. Now, when Su Jiu was exploring again, she was close to the stone wall, with the strong light above her head shining all the time. She walked carefully all the way.
Watch carefully.
Originally, the stone gate was divided into two doors, the surface of which would be wrapped with copper products. However, that was just an ordinary underground palace stone gate. The ancient tomb in front of her was different from the ordinary maze stone gate. Su Jiu knew very well.
This stone gate will be difficult to find if you don't observe carefully.
Su Jiu walked step by step, her eyes carefully detecting the changes on the stone wall. Before she had even completed half a circle, Su Jiu discovered something unusual.
"Sure enough, this should be a stone gate."
Su Jiu looked at the place she found in front of her. The stone wall here, the size and specification of the stones piled up, and the gaps were different from other stone walls. This place was obviously disguised.
Su Jiu paused and took out a talisman.
"Gathering Spirits."
Su Jiu's heart moved, and the talisman in her hand instantly turned into a sharp file, which she held in her right hand. Su Jiu picked up the file and scraped it twice towards the gap in the stone wall, and bursts of stone chips flew down.
.
"As expected!"
Su Jiu looked at the scene in front of her. In Su Jiu's eyes, it was originally a crack in the stone. But after scraping it with a file, she found that the crack was indeed disguised. Under the stone chips, there was a flat stone wall or a huge stone.
After discovering the abnormality, Su Jiu did not get excited and directly find a way to open the stone door. Instead, he continued to use the file to carefully scrape off the entire disguised stone debris. Waves of stone debris flew up, and soon... in front of Su Jiu's eyes.
A stone door with two doors appeared. The handle and frame were wrapped with copper products. A stone door clearly appeared in front of Su Jiu's eyes.
"The first stone door has appeared. According to the specifications of the maze on this ancient tomb, there should be at least three stone doors in this stone room. It should be the highest standard maze. It seems that I have to continue searching."
After scraping out the entire stone door, Su Jiu did not rush to find a way to open the stone door. Instead, she continued to search inside the stone room, continued to follow the stone wall, and carefully detected it.
Some people may wonder, since the stone door has been found, why not open the stone door and enter the ancient tomb directly? Why waste time here?
If things were just that simple, then Su Jiu wouldn't have to go to such trouble and have nothing to do.
Ancient Chinese craftsmen can be said to be the most uncanny talents in Chinese history.
Especially for ancient tomb craftsmen, generally speaking, the craftsmanship is passed down from family to family and is not easily passed on to the outside world. The specifications of the ancient tombs, the characteristics of the construction, and the quantitative ratios they follow all have certain rules.
Su Jiu knew in her heart that if there was only one stone door in this ancient tomb, it would not matter. She could just find a way to open the stone door and enter the ancient tomb.
However, if there is not one stone gate, but two or three stone gates, then things will not be so simple, and the stone gates cannot be opened easily.
Especially for a maze with this size, most of them have three stone doors. Among these three stone doors, only one is the door of life, and the other two are the doors of death. To put it simply, it is safe to open only one stone door.
Yes, if the stone door is opened by mistake, Su Jiu himself will be in great danger.
Su Jiu once saw a record in the family classics. While exploring an ancient tomb, a Feng Shui master also encountered the existence of the underground palace. This Feng Shui master had pretty good attainments and successfully found the stone gate.
, however, the Feng Shui master was negligent at first, thinking that finding the stone gate meant entering the ancient tomb.
The Feng Shui master did not continue to carefully examine the stone walls of the maze, looking for the existence of other stone gates. Little did he know that there were two or two stone gates in the maze, one for life and one for death, and what the Feng Shui master discovered was exactly
Death's door.
The stone door was discovered by this Feng Shui master. Then, the overjoyed Feng Shui master used secret methods to find the secret door left by the masons of the ancient tomb and opened the stone door. However, what was waiting for the Feng Shui master was not the secret door of the ancient tomb.
many treasures in it.
Instead, the mercury poured out. The moment the stone door was opened by the Feng Shui master using secret techniques, it was like a torrent of mercury. It was released in an instant and directly submerged the Feng Shui master. The entire stone room was filled with mercury, forming a sheet of mercury.
Just like a pool, naturally, this Feng Shui master died like this, dying.
Ancient tombs, the ancient Chinese, can be said to have all kinds of means to protect them. No one knows what will be behind this stone gate. Mercury? Poison? Sharp arrows? Even death? All kinds of means that can be thought of in ancient times.
, are very likely to appear in this ancient tomb, Su Jiu knew this very well.
Therefore, Su Jiu was not reckless and continued to maintain her mentality and began to look for Shimen.
As expected, it didn't take long for Su Jiu to find the second stone door, which was also disguised. Su Jiu used a file to scrape off the stone debris, and a stone door exactly like the one before appeared in front of Su Jiu.
The second stone gate was marked by Su Jiu, and Su Jiu continued to search. Soon, the third stone gate was found.
"All three stone gates have been found. The next thing to do is to find the living gate among these three stone gates." Su Jiu exhaled and said slowly.
Su Jiu knew in her heart that no matter how big the size of the maze was, there would only be three stone gates at most, and there would not be more, because this followed a principle.
Two are born, two beget three, and three beget all things. This is exactly what the ancient tomb craftsmen followed.
Three represents all things and infinity. No matter how large the maze is, there will not be too many stone doors. There will only be three at most. Su Jiu can be sure of this.
After finding three stone gates, Su Jiu did not stop. He continued to detect them again, but found nothing, so he stopped.
Looking at the positions of the three stone gates, Su Jiu discovered that the distance between the three stone gates was the same. An equilateral triangle shape was formed between the three stone gates.
"Now it's time to find the birth gate."
Su Jiu stopped, took a rest, and began to mutter slowly.
Kanyu Shimen, this is a secret technique that has long been lost in the Feng Shui world. Now it has long ceased to exist in the Feng Shui world.
Su Jiu knew that in the current world of Feng Shui, only the sect Mojin Xiaowei might have some unorthodox methods to find out the door of life and death in Shimen. Su Jiu also knew about this method, but it was too troublesome.
.
The method of touching the gold captain is to light three kerosene lamps in front of the three stone gates. The wicks are drawn with special talismans. Based on whether the stone gates vent the energy of death or anger, it can be judged whether the stone gates are alive or dead.
Whether it is the door of life or the door of death, this method seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated. It requires drawing many sigils. The distance between the three lamps and the stone door cannot be offset at all. The most important thing is to use this method.
The time required is ten minutes, at least two or three hours.
Su Jiu knew very well in her heart that she did not have so much time to spend on a Shimen.
However, in the golden compass in Su Jiu's mind, there is a secret method that has long been lost in the Feng Shui world. This secret method can find out whether the three stone gates are the gates of life or the gates of death.
This is also the reason why Su Jiu has always been so calm.
After resting for a while, Su Jiu started to make arrangements.
Su Jiu took out three black bowls from his backpack, which were the black bowls used to capture the ghoul ghosts before. Su Jiu placed them one by one in front of the stone door.
"Although the method is coincidental, it is similar to the one used to touch Colonel Jin, but my method..." (To be continued...)
