Chapter 388 Opening the Taoist Holy Land

Hearing what Zhang Linfu said, other people also felt that it was reasonable. After all, the previous tests on hexagrams were very simple. In fact, they were not hexagrams, but the Seven Stars Searching for Dragons. test.

Zhang Linfu made a breakthrough here, and the others went to rest. It was not until the next morning that Zhang Linfu woke up everyone and expressed his inference.It seems that the old man was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, studying the Tao Te Ching on the door of the tomb.

According to his deduction, Zhang Linfu basically affirmed two things.The first thing is that these nine stone pillars should not involve other organs, but are only used to open the stone gate.

The second thing is that the Tao Te Ching engraved on the stone gate should indeed be a hidden hexagram. It is estimated that as long as this hexagram is deciphered, the tomb door in front of everyone can be opened.

Zhang Linfu's guess was also agreed by everyone. After all, the door of the tomb has been inspected many times. There is no such thing as a mechanism for firing crossbow arrows, and the ground here is completely rocky, so nothing can be hidden. It is impossible for the mechanism connected by these nine stone pillars to turn over the entire mountain and hold everyone under it. This is obviously unrealistic.

However, from Zhang Linfu's tone, Chen Ziyang could hear that the reason why he said that was to appease his subordinates. It seemed that Zhang Linfu was not very sure, but it should be pretty close.

The reason why Zhang Linfu said these things in public is probably to reassure other people about the nine stone pillars. If they try to open the tomb door later, they will need these people to fiddle with the nine stone pillars. And those who are timid may delay the business. Zhang Linfu did this to relieve everyone's tension.

"Really Zhang, if there is no mechanism here, let's try it with explosives first. If it explodes, we will make money." Knowing that the team was short of food, Liu Cong asked tentatively.When he heard that he was going to deduce the hexagrams again, Liu Cong was really anxious. If he deduced it for another five or seven days, everyone would go to drink the northwest wind.

"Why are you getting more and more hopeless, kid? Don't you talk through your brain? The mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty have always been known for their firmness. The little explosives you brought can't even blow up the floating ash. If you want to blow up the tomb The door? It's just a whimsical idea.

I know you are in a hurry, don't worry, the hexagram deduction this time will not take too long, half a day is enough.The hexagram hidden on the door of the tomb is connected with the nine stone pillars. It records the sequence and angle of turning the nine stone pillars. It is not too difficult to deduce. Zhang Linfu, who knew what Liu Cong was thinking, said with a smile.

On this day, Liu Cong still sent a team of six people out to look for food, while the rest stayed in front of the tomb door, ready to wait for Zhang Linfu's order to open the tomb door.

Near noon, Zhang Linfu, who had been sitting on the ground and counting, stood up, rubbed his numb legs, and asked Liu Cong to arrange nine people to stand next to the nine stone pillars, ready to turn around according to his password stone pillars.

Seeing Zhang Linfu's full confidence, Chen Ziyang knew that this time it was about the same time. Opening the tomb door should be a matter of pinching for Zhang Linfu, but at this moment, he heard Yang Lei next to him Chattering about something.

It turned out that Mo Wen was just arranged by Liu Cong to turn a stone pillar, but because of the previous incident, now Mo Wen couldn't help shaking when he saw the nine stone pillars and his two calves, his heart had been buried by the stone pillars Shadow, he was about to go to Liu Cong for instructions and change someone else to turn the stone pillar, but Yang Lei found out about it.

Yang Lei put one arm around Mo Wen's shoulder, and patted his chest with the other hand, trying to persuade Mo Wen.It is said that people should face their own fears in this life, not be controlled by fears, and face up to what they are most afraid of. Only in this way can they overcome themselves and rise to a new height.

At first, there was nothing wrong with Yang Lei's words, but Chen Ziyang always felt that such righteous words came out of Yang Lei's mouth, which didn't fit well. After looking around, he almost didn't laugh when he understood the truth. come out.

It turned out that the reason why Yang Lei tried so hard to persuade Mo Wen was not because he really cared about others, but for himself.

The whole team consisted of 28 people. Excluding Jia Da and the three team members who took care of him, there were only 24 people in the camp. Six people were sent out to find food, except for the three brothers Chen Ziyang and the two old real men. Apart from Liu Cong and the three women, there were exactly nine people left.

If Mo Wen backed down at this time and refused to turn the stone pillar, then Liu Cong would probably let Yang Lei go up.This is why Yang Lei tried so hard to persuade Mo Wen. He was afraid that if some mechanism was triggered when turning the stone pillar, his life would be endangered at that time. This small calculation was shrewd.

However, Yang Lei's mouth was really not covered up. Mo Wen, who was held in his arms, listened to his words, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. Afterwards, Mo Wen seemed to be a different person. With a decadent air, he immediately puffed up his chest, and slapped it hard a few times, showing the spirit of not giving up until the goal was reached. He was the first one to walk to the side of the stone pillar and take his position.

And the stone pillar he chose was the one that was hanging on the corner of his clothes before. It seems that Mo Wen has completely got rid of the shadow in his heart under Yang Lei's persuasion, and he will get up wherever he is going to fall Now, he must overcome the fear in his heart.

Encouraged by Yang Lei's words, the other eight team members were also full of confidence. They completely forgot the danger that turning the stone pillar might trigger the mechanism, and one by one they stood in their positions, waiting for Zhang Linfu's orders.

"The stone pillar in the southeast, rotate two hexagrams to the right."

"The stone pillar in the southwest, rotate four hexagrams to the left."

……

Following Zhang Linfu's order, the personnel standing beside the nine stone pillars kept adjusting the angles of the stone pillars according to his order.

When turning the stone pillar, these people discovered that the organ connected to the bottom of the stone pillar seemed to be divided into eight grids according to the orientation of the gossip. Every time the stone pillar was turned, it could only turn an integer number of angles.

Sometimes with more force, the slightly larger stone pillar will automatically rotate back a little. If sometimes the rotation is too large, the stone pillar will directly turn to the next eight trigrams direction, and the pull will also Can't pull it back.

At this time, it means that the angle of rotation of the stone pillar is wrong this time, and the other stone pillars that have been rotated will automatically rotate back and return to the original angle.

Because everyone was nervous at the beginning, and at the same time, they didn't expect that the heavy stone pillar didn't need too much strength when turning, and they couldn't grasp the strength in their hands.

In addition, there is some soil stuffed in the gap between the stone pillar and the stone platform. Sometimes this soil will play a disruptive role, making it impossible for the person who rotates the stone pillar to fully control the strength, resulting in several mistakes in rotating the stone pillar. .

Fortunately, after every wrong rotation, the stone pillar simply returned to its place, and no mechanism was triggered.Only then did everyone slowly let go of their guard and let go of their hands and feet.

After three or four failures, the nine people who turned the stone pillar found the feel and the knack of turning the stone pillar, and they cooperated with each other more tacitly. Zhang Linfu's orders were executed correctly one after another.After turning the eight outer stone pillars one by one, Zhang Linfu gave the last order.

"The stone pillar in the middle, rotate two hexagrams to the right."

With the strength of the last team member, after the stone pillar in the middle was rotated by two hexagrams, suddenly there was a dull clicking sound from the bottom of the nine stone pillars at the same time. Obviously, the mechanism connected by the nine stone pillars was corrected. was triggered, and the nine stone pillars were stuck there motionless, no longer rotating by themselves.

At the same time, there was the sound of organic locks starting from both sides of the tightly closed tomb door. With the sound of a dull boulder colliding, the door was opened by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian and then closed again for 200 minutes. The tomb door that had been there for many years slowly opened.

With the opening of the tomb door, a gust of cold wind blew out from behind the tomb door, making the nine people standing in front of the tomb door turning the stone pillars shiver, it was really cold to the bone.

Even if he stood far away, Chen Ziyang could still feel a bit of coolness. This feeling was no stranger to him who had been in the mine since he was a child. This cold wind showed one thing. The space does not see sunlight all year round, and the depth extending underground should be very deep.

After opening a small angle, the two tomb doors stopped. Although the opening angle of the tomb door is not large, but because the width of the tomb door is very wide, the opening of this gap is enough for two people. Walked side by side.

Excited Liu Cong was the first to walk forward with a flashlight, wanting to check the situation behind the tomb door. At this moment, Jia Da's voice suddenly came from his communicator.

After separating from Jia Da, Liu Cong turned off the communication repeater in order to prevent the members of the Dragon Digging Society from detecting the signal of the communication repeater.However, considering the need to contact Jada, he had made a decision before separating from Jada. The communication repeater would be turned on for a period of time at noon every day to facilitate contact with Jada.

The communication repeater can relay signals for everyone's communicators within a range of ten kilometers. It is noon at this time, and it is the time for the communication repeater to be turned on. Jia Da's voice proves that he has arrived at the Taoist Holy Land. within a kilometer.

Jia Da was able to arrive here beyond Chen Ziyang's expectations, and beyond everyone's expectations.No one believed that a fat man as bloated as Jia Da could cross the Qinling Mountains. Although it took him ten days longer than others, it was still remarkable.

The hunting team hadn't returned yet, and with the need to meet Jia Da, Liu Cong simply looked at the dark stone passage behind the tomb door, left the open tomb door, and started Get ready for other things.

More than two hours later, Jia Da led three other team members and appeared in everyone's field of vision. Seeing his current miserable appearance, everyone secretly turned their faces away and laughed wildly.

Jia Da looked really miserable, his bloated figure had obviously lost a lot of weight, and his clothes were all tattered, which was somewhat similar to Jigong's monk robe.

The three team members who followed Jada were not much better. Although their clothes were still intact, all three of them looked exhausted. It was obvious that Jada had been tossing him a lot on the way. It is estimated that Jada will be able to reach Here, it is inseparable from the efforts of these three people.

After reuniting with the team, Jia Da couldn't wait to hug Xu Xiaoyuan tightly, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and kept crying about how much he had suffered along the way and how much he had suffered. How many sins.

Taoist Xiaoyuan looked distressed, she kept rubbing here and there for Jada, and beat her legs after pinching her shoulders. At the same time, she kept persuading Jada who was crying bitterly.

From the movements of Xu Xiaoyuan's hands, Chen Ziyang could tell that she really cared about Jia Da, and he didn't know why such an annoying person like Jia Da would win Xu Xiaoyuan's heart, could it be true? As Jin Huang said before, is there some tricky relationship between these two people?
Through the two previous contacts with Xu Xiaoyuan, Chen Ziyang felt that she and Jia Da were two different kinds of people. It was hard to imagine why these two people got along so well.

After comforting Jia Da, Liu Cong began to investigate the Taoist holy land.His subordinates used sound wave detectors to roughly detect the space behind the tomb door.

According to them, there should be a long downward passage behind the tomb door, but it seems that there is a relatively thick pillar standing there in the passage, which is probably used to support the tomb passage.Because this passage is too deep, they can only provide these clues.

In the evening, the hunting team also returned safely. Although the food they brought back this time was not too much, it was enough for everyone to eat two meals.

The 28 people who were looking for the Taoist holy land gathered together again, and at this time the gate of the Taoist holy land had been opened. Liu Cong was very excited to see that things were going so smoothly.

After organizing everyone to eat and drink, Liu Cong ordered everyone to rest as soon as possible, preparing to step into the Taoist holy land the next day.

In the evening, Guo Huaxing watched the stars again at night, and used the astrology to deduce a hexagram. Although the overall result was quite satisfactory, Guo Huaxing discovered from the hexagrams that it might not go well after entering the Taoist holy land this time.

Even if the purpose of everyone's trip can be achieved, a certain price will be paid, and even a few lives will be paid.
