Chapter 23 Finding a way out
Now when I think about it, even if I don’t bring the burial objects in the bronze coffin, I shouldn’t have taken this path.
"What should we do? Find a place to dig a thief hole? All the rock walls of the nearby waterway are solid and cannot be dug at all! You know what is in the tomb in front of you if you want to continue walking forward!"
Zhang Yu rubbed his head and said with a headache.
I took out the compass from my pocket and dragged it lightly on my palm.
"All things are mutually generated and restrained, with yin and yang, strong and weak, and all have fixed numbers. They are born in response to the Bagua. If you look for the position of the Bagua, you will definitely find the weak point of the thief hole, but I don't know how confident you are!"
I looked at the pointer on the compass with a serious expression, walked towards the rock wall on one side, and gently stroked the rock wall with my hands.
"Senior Zhang Yu, please judge the material and solidification of this rock wall." If you use the Bagua hexagram as the basis, the first thing you need to do is to find the rock wall corresponding to the hexagram position and use it as the benchmark coordinate.
The rock wall in front of you is located in the northeast direction, corresponding to the Gen hexagram, which is where the Eight Gate Middle School Shengmen is located. According to common sense, the general Feng Shui hexagram will have the chance of life in the three auspicious gates of the Eight Gate Middle School, among which the highest probability of the Life Gate.
However, although many of the tomb passages here are formed naturally, they must have been artificially excavated. Star officials responsible for geomantic Feng Shui in ancient times would also participate in any details of the tomb.
Star officials are all masters of geomanticism in the same period, especially Feng Shui masters in the Warring States Period. The relatively complete Feng Shui first appeared in the Warring States Period. It can be said that the master who was proficient in Feng Shui at that time was considered a first-class figure in the founder of Feng Shui.
Therefore, the Feng Shui hexagram here is passively corrected, and it is not uncommon to reverse the universe. In contrast, for Feng Shui, which I only see and learn in books, I can only be considered first-class on paper.
To be honest, I also know how confident I am, that is a one in a thousandth chance. Perhaps even if I can find the reincarnation gate after the inverted and transformed position, it is very likely to be reinforced.
However, I didn't tell Zuo Yun and Zhang Yu that the chance was too low, so low that it was almost negligible, and it would be disgusting to hear it.
This is also the first time I have come to this river. The reason why I didn’t do this is that such a low probability is undoubtedly a waste of time when there are other choices.
"Okay, I'll try." Zhang Yu suddenly felt a little excited, picked up the folding shovel and slapped the shovel at the place where I pointed.
The sound of collision and vibration sounds sounded at the same time. Zhang Yu slowly closed his eyes and felt the tremor of force coming from his hands and the sound of rocks hitting him.
"The rocks here are also very thick, but the hardness is a little lower than the ones hitting across the river, but they cannot be dug through them. I estimate that the thickness of the rock wall has exceeded 3 meters, and other rocks are not ruled out behind them."
"According to our current manpower, plus mountain nails, axes, hammers and 1kg of gunpowder, the thickness of the rock wall should be at least small and two meters. Before the food is possible, a road leading to the ground will be created." Zhang Yu shook his head and spit out a string of data.
Although this is the second time I have seen Zhang Yu's skills, I still feel that it is amazing, similar to the technique of knocking bricks, but it is different.
"Senior Zhang Yu don't have to be disappointed. This is not something that can be done at once." I looked at the compass. This is the northeast. According to the original position of the Bagua, the Shengmen was sealed. I don't know the river channel several thousand meters. I just searched for the real Shengmen bit by bit through the hexagram position, but I don't know how difficult it is.
Now we can only try it with the correct gossip position, which is a huge project.
Zuo Yun sat on the ground and looked around. Zhang Yu and I were still striving to find the reversed Gen Gua Shengmen.
After two hours of searching, we were completely close to the other side of the river, but we found nothing, and Zuo Yun limped over slowly.
"What? Didn't you find it?" Zuo Yun was a little disappointed.
"I didn't find it. It would be great if I had brought all the books I passed down from my ancestors by my side. I might find a way to deal with it after reading it." I sighed, my head was a little dizzy, staring at the pointer on the compass for a long time and exploring my brains, and I felt like I was almost hypoxia.
"Stay for a while, eat something before continuing to look for it."
Zhang Yu was also exhausted and panting. He had to pat a shovel every time he found a place and carried such a big mountaineering bag. It was really tiring.
"Brother Li, are there any other books left by your ancestors besides the secrets of Feng Shui? If you can go out alive this time, I will borrow it for a look." Zhang Yu took out a bag of biscuits and stuffed it into his mouth quickly, asking vaguely.
Zuo Yun just stared at my eyes, revealing a trace of expectation.
"The books passed down from my ancestors, in addition to the Ten Methods of Earthly Essences on Geometric Feng Shui, the Tomb Legends recorded tomb robbery incidents, and the Rubbings of the "Book of Changes" about the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, actually have a "Book of Different Earths" about the analysis of tomb soil layers. However, this book is very boring and extremely thick. If the two predecessors need it, they can naturally."
This is not a polite word. To be honest, I have never touched this book much. When I was a child, I read these books as novels, especially when I couldn't understand some terms, I read "Ten Methods of Earthly Essences" and "The Book of Changes". However, in "The Book of Tombs", there are few that involve soil structures.
"Okay! Brother Li is so happy. We won't lend you your book in vain. There are a total of fourteen burial objects obtained from the tomb this time, all of which are jade burial objects. The size and quality are not much different. My senior brother and I each have 4 pieces, and the remaining six belong to you!" Zuo Yun opened his mouth and smiled happily.
Two more items? I shook it, and if calculated based on the average price, I would give up 170,000!
"Two seniors, no, I won't lose anything if I look at it. This thing is worth tens of thousands, and giving me two more is more than one hundred thousand. And this thing must have room for appreciation, which is really too expensive." I waved my hands repeatedly, and it was a bit too much to divide the two more.
"No, Brother Li, I don't give you two more items for nothing. The rules in the circle, after getting to the tomb, divide them according to the order of efforts and organizers. The organizer Qiu Chuizi is already dead, so you should divide them according to the efforts."
"You are the one who found the tomb passage. If you find the exit, you will undoubtedly be the one who contributes the most among us. You should be able to divide 14 burial objects into five pieces, and my senior brother and I will divide 9 pieces."
"The nine pieces are not allowed to be divided by two people, and you don't know how important this book is to our brothers. The older the book, the more priceless the things recorded on it are, let alone the book that can improve professional skills."
Zuo Yun squinted his eyes and said with a smile, and Zhang Yu on the side also nodded.
