Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 329 Dragonfly Pointing to the Water Cave (4000)

"Heart tricks?"

Hearing Sun Ye's words, Wu Liang was shocked.

Before that, he had always felt that there might be some restrictions or sorcery in this underground palace, which could quietly affect their "intuition", making everyone present suspicious.

It's just that this prohibition or sorcery is very special, and he can't see the clue at all with his ability.

Now that Sun Ye woke up and uttered these four words, Wu Liang's previous guess was immediately confirmed, which shows that his insight and judgment are still good.

"This is a comparatively gentle method in the Gongshu Jing."

Sun Ye didn't hide it, and said in a nutshell, "On weekdays, if a craftsman encounters a mean employer who deducts rations or wages, he can lay down this method when building a house or building. After the completion of the construction, the employer will start to be suspicious and frightened, that is, "inner mischief". At that time, the employer can't bear it, so he can only ask the craftsman for help. The craftsman can also take the opportunity to easily recover the deducted rations or wages. .”

Now Sun Ye's voice is still a little hoarse and weak, but it is much stronger than before he fell into a coma. At least he no longer speaks intermittently, and the frequency of coughing has also decreased.

I have to admit that this guy's bad life is really tough.

It seems that it is really possible to survive this injury.

of course.

Maybe it's a flashback?
"In this way, we were suspicious of ghosts and ghosts just now, and most likely we were affected by this 'mind trick'. If we were ordinary people, we would probably be scared away by the ghosts and gods in our hearts."

Wu Liang has already almost understood the function of this "mind trickery method", and analyzed it based on the current situation.

"Exactly, but..."

Sun Ye nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, he straightened up quickly and asked in surprise, "How did you get out of that chariot? Where's the wooden magpie?"

"died."

Yu Ji said.

"died?!"

Sun Ye's eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief, and even his tone improved a lot.

Obviously, this result was not within his expectations. If Wu Liang and others told him to "get rid of it", he should be more likely to accept it.

After all, the wooden magpie was a sacred object that was not handed down by the ancestors at all. As a half of the "Gong Shu Jing", he not only didn't know how to make it, but he didn't even have the slightest idea how to destroy it.

And Wu Liang and the others are just laymen who don't specialize in this field, and they were able to kill them, isn't it a joke, isn't it?
"To be exact, we should have cracked the spell on the wooden magpie, turning it into a pile of wood and metal that can't fly or hurt people."

Wu Liang added with a smile, "After the wooden magpie lost its spell, it has been deconstructed by itself, but we didn't move it easily. Afterwards, you can still study the positions of these parts, which may be able to improve your skills. Help, and even unravel the unique skill that has been lost in the wood magpie."

"..."

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Sun Ye had no choice but to believe it. After opening his mouth slightly for a moment, he sighed and said to Wu Liang, "Your Excellency is indeed not an ordinary person. You have cracked the 'Five Immortals Entering the House Law' I set up earlier. 'It's already convinced me, now even the secret method that the patriarch has not passed on can be easily deciphered, I am afraid that only people with destiny have such ability."

Sun Ye didn't ask what method Wu Liang used to break Mu Que's spell.

As a half-person of the "Gong Shu Jing", he naturally also has some understanding of the rules of the Tao, especially when it comes to matters related to magic, everyone has secrets that cannot be revealed to others.

Shouldn't look at it.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

It is the most basic etiquette in dealing with such an expert. If you need to know, the expert will naturally say, if you don't need to know, it is useless to ask.

"Mr. Sun praised it absurdly. In fact, I can't break all the spells. I have specialization in the spell industry. For example, the 'mind tricks' laid down by the patriarch. Although I have noticed it, I have no clue."

Wu Liang clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Sun said that this 'mind trick' is not fatal, but it can affect our judgment at critical moments. I wonder if Mr. Sun can help us resolve this method. I am very grateful."

"This……"

Sun Ye was obviously hesitant, but after pondering for a moment, he finally said, "Forget it, it is the fate of the patriarch to come here. Since I have already followed in, it is all nonsense to talk about respect and disrespect. Your Excellency is indeed a person who kept his promise. After entering the underground palace, he did not act recklessly. Even if he had to break the wood magpie's technique, he did not act recklessly. After all, he still left a thought for the patriarch and my successor. From this we can see Your Excellency has rules and regulations, maybe this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Patriarch, so I will help you resolve this method, and let the Patriarch decide whether it is good or bad."

"Mr. Sun still thinks clearly, please advise."

Wu Liang was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"Before that, the villain still needs to know one thing from your Excellency. Do you still remember how many sharp turns we have passed after passing the chariot we hid before?"

Sun Ye asked seriously.

"This……"

Wu Liang frowned and recalled the road he had traveled, he really didn't pay attention to this kind of thing.

"Three ways."

Yu Ji gave an accurate answer immediately.

This old boy is best at the art of geomancy, so even if Wu Liang didn't make special arrangements, he was very careful about the terrain, especially when he was in the tomb, for fear that he would accidentally walk into a certain death situation.

"Please take the villain back and look for these three sharp bends. This 'mind trick' is probably a chain spell. It needs to be cracked from the first one to be the correct solution. Otherwise, every time there are more ones, the mana will increase by one level. The further you go in, the more frightened you become."

Sun Ye nodded and said again.

"Come and help, put Mr. Sun on Yang Wanli's back, let's go back and have a look."

Wu Liang hurriedly greeted him.

It seems that this "mind-wrenching method" arrangement must have a lot to do with the three sharp bends.

And he could indeed clearly feel that his uneasy "intuition" was increasing as he went deeper, and when he returned to the "Linchong Lu Bus" before, this "intuition" disappeared again. There is nothing left, so it can be seen that Sun Ye's judgment on this "heart trick" is indeed correct.

……

Soon after.

Everyone went back to the first sharp bend after the "Linchong Lu bus".

Sun Ye just glanced at it briefly, then pointed to the rock wall facing the sharp bend and said: "This rock wall obstructs the passage of the road, and our craftsmen call it 'Lu Chong', which is regarded as a part of the building. The ominous position is the place where ominous evil spirits are most likely to gather, so when we build houses, we usually place a 'Stone Empress' to suppress them, so as to dispel them."

"so……"

Wu Liang looked at the bare ground in the direction Sun Ye was pointing at, and asked in a tone of voice, "Should we place a 'Stone Empress' here to suppress it?"

As for what is "Shi Niang Niang".

Wu Liang thought it might be something similar to "Taishan Shigandang".

As far as he knows, many ancient buildings in the folk have the shadow of "Taishan Stone Gandang". Even some rural houses in later generations will put a "Taishan Stone Gandang" at the T-junction or some important walls, in order to "protect the stone". Peace of mind, exorcising evil spirits."

This custom has a long history, and the earliest record can be traced back to the "Jijiuzhang" written in the Western Han Dynasty.

In the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list announced by the later celestial dynasties, the custom of "Mount Taishi Gandang" is also on the list.

"Yes, but not quite."

Sun Ye nodded first, then shook his head again, and said, "The root of this 'heart trick' is not whether to set up 'Shi Niangniang', but how to set it up? Of course, it can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil if it is set up correctly. If it is not set up correctly, it becomes a 'mind trick'."

After finishing speaking, Sun Ye said to Yang Wanli who was under him: "Please take me up to check, and I will point out the location where 'Shi Niangniang' is buried for you, and you will know when you dig it out."

So come under the rock wall.

Sun Ye looked at it for a moment, and quickly pointed out a location.

Dian Wei immediately stepped forward and started digging with his engineering shovel. He only dug less than half a foot into the ground, and he dug out a stone statue that looked a bit like the later clay statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

This should be "Shi Niangniang".

But what is more strange is that this "Stone Empress" is not placed normally, but buried upside down in the ground, which is quite unreasonable.

"Dig further, there should be a piece of bamboo underneath."

Sun Ye was not surprised, and then said.

Dian Wei did as he said, and sure enough he dug out another piece of bamboo from below. Although the bamboo piece had been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, the surface was already a little decayed, but the traces like ghostly symbols carved and painted with black paint were still clear. visible.

Wu Liang couldn't understand the meaning of this "ghost painting talisman", but felt that it was somewhat similar to the Tao talisman of later generations.

"Burn this piece of bamboo, and then bury this 'Shi Niangniang' upside down, and the 'mind trick' here will be broken."

Sun Ye didn't give any further explanations for this thing, but just nodded and said to Wu Liang, "Every time you pass through a sharp bend, you just need to follow the same method, and you will naturally no longer be affected by the 'mind-making trick'. .”

"Do it."

Wu Liang nodded to Dianwei, still curious about this "mind trick" and wanted to know more about it.

But thinking about it again, this thing is a secret biography in the "Gongshu Jing", let alone asking if it is good for me, it might not be polite to ask it so directly, so I didn't rush it at this moment.

Anyway, he has already decided to recruit Sun Ye into the Huan army, and he will have a chance to get to know him slowly in the future.

of course.

The premise is that Sun Ye must first be able to survive this catastrophe.

……

After following Sun Ye's instructions.

Wu Liang and the others explored the depths of the underground palace again, and they were no longer suspicious, and the pressure in everyone's hearts was reduced a lot.

In this way, a total of nine sharp bends were passed.

Everyone saw more war equipment and agricultural tools.

Wu Liang has a certain understanding of most of them, and even some things can be seen even in the 21st century, such as stone mills, ink fountains, saws... and so on.

Wu Liang also saw a bamboo umbrella. Although this bamboo umbrella has not been made into a semi-automatic opening and closing form like later generations, it can already be opened and closed manually, which can save space when not in use.

Obviously, not all the lost things stored in the underground palace, not all war equipment, but more like an exhibition hall of Lu Ban's personal inventions throughout his life.

After passing the ninth bend, the space of the underground palace immediately becomes wider.

This time, everyone saw a large area of ​​square wooden boxes of the same standard. These square wooden boxes were about half a meter high and one meter long and wide. They were all painted black and placed on the ground in a regular manner with the same distance from each other.

Such a large area is presented in front of the eyes, and the picture looks quite spectacular.

And in the middle of these square wooden boxes, there is a large box that is similar in shape and volume to those of the containers in the wharf of later generations.

This big box is quite well preserved, and the whole body has a yellow metallic color.

Experience tells Wu Liang that this is not gold, but a brass alloy that was more common in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. At first glance, it used to be richer than gold.

Besides.

Many seams can also be seen on the large box, these seams are not fused together, so that the large box is divided into many small pieces that are not identical, making it look like many parts are assembled the average.

"Could this thing be the 'mechanical seal' invented by Lu Ban?"

Although the "machine seal" invented by Lu Ban was not accepted by people because of funeral customs, this should not prevent Lu Ban from using it himself.

Often the first person to try something created by an inventor is himself.

It's just that some inventors accidentally became Edison, and some inventors accidentally became the famous "Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice".

The reason for this speculation is that Wu Liang took a photo with the Suihou Pearl.

It seems that there is no other way out here, and it seems that it has finally reached the end of the underground palace, so Lu Ban's body should also have a place to go.

at this time.

"This... all of them are legal burials?"

Yu Ji suddenly revealed a look of surprise, and said quite exaggeratedly.

"Fa Zang?"

Everyone looked at Yu Ji suspiciously.

"The so-called legal burial, to put it bluntly, is a vertical burial, that is, the coffin is buried vertically, not the normal burial method."

Yu Ji approached the neatly arranged square wooden boxes a little bit, but refused to get too close. He stopped at a long distance, stretched his neck and observed while saying, "This kind of burial method can only be found in a kind of burial. 'Dragonfly Dian Shui Cave' is only used in Fengshui Treasure Cave. 'Qing Fly Dian Shui Cave' is three feet four feet long, only four feet can be used, and one foot three feet wide, only three feet can be used, so if the coffin wants to be buried in this treasure hole Inside, we can only carry out legal burial."

"However, I think the feng shui pattern here is mediocre, and there is no trend of 'dragonfly pointing to the water hole'. Besides, even if it is really a 'dragonfly pointing to the water hole', it is absolutely impossible to bury so many coffins..."

Hearing this, Wu Liang finally came to his senses:
It turns out that those square wooden boxes were all buried vertically here, with only a small part of the coffin exposed? !
