The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 311 The Sheepskin Scroll

The phoenix swims on the phoenix platform.

Wu Gong flowers and grass buried in the path, Jin Dynasty clothing crown into an ancient hill.

Three mountains and half outside the blue sky, the second water divides Bailuzhou.

It is always because the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not worrying.

——"Climbing the Phoenix Terrace of Jinling" Li Bai

……

After talking for a long time, it's time to get back to the topic.

Bai Fu asked: "Then what does all this have to do with the secret room in Prince Yin's mansion?"

Boni Atti said: "The change of Xuanwu Gate happened suddenly, Hua Lazimi fled with the young master in a hurry, and left a box of sheepskin scrolls in the secret room of the Prince Yin's mansion.

This box of sheepskin scrolls records what Huarazmi has learned throughout his life, covering martial arts, mathematics, geomancy, astrology, alchemy, etc.The integration of the civilizations of the three empires of Persia, Tianzhu, and Tang Dynasty is his heart and soul, and it is extremely precious. "

Bai Fu asked, "Since these parchment scrolls were written by Khwarizmi himself, why didn't he write another one?"

Boni Atti sighed: "It's not that he didn't want to. He had more heart than energy. At that time, Huarazmi was very old, and the contents of this box of parchment scrolls were so complicated and vast.

On the way to escape, he was frightened and wandering. After Hua Lazimi settled the orphan of Prince Yin in Suiye, he was exhausted, exhausted, and died after silently writing three parchment scrolls.He named the three volumes Algebra, Astronomy, and Geography.

When these three parchment scrolls were sent back to Persia, they shocked the entire Dashi world.We have been looking for other texts written by Khwarizmi for a hundred years.

After discovering the clues from Li Bai's poems, the Persian royal family ordered me to go to the middle land to find the disciples or all the works of Huarazmi.

After many investigations, clues to the secret room were finally found in Prince Yin's mansion. "

Sun Dashan said with a smile: "Bai Shaoxia, to tell you the truth, before His Majesty rewarded you with Prince Yin's mansion, I have inspected Prince Yin's mansion for several months.

There are many secret rooms and secret compartments in Prince Yin's house, but they are all empty.This is also normal, after Prince Yin was killed, the mansion must have been searched by King Qin's troops.

So, through my friends at the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, etc., I consulted all the information on the search of Prince Yin's mansion at that time.There was no mention of the box of parchment scrolls in the search list.

I guess, with Huarazmi's wisdom, he must have designed a top-secret dark room for Prince Yin, and no one else knows about it except him and Prince Yin.And this secret room is definitely different from my usual design in Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, we focused our search on buildings and furniture related to the Western Regions, but after a few days passed, we found nothing.

After the craftsmen of Prince Qing's Mansion entered the site to renovate the mansion, it was not so convenient for us to go in and out during the day, so my second brother dug a tunnel to connect with the secret passage in the Yanxi Palace.

In this way, we can also pretend to be craftsmen of Prince Qing's Mansion during the day and search the mansion calmly.

It happened for a reason, please forgive Bai Shaoxia! "

At this point, Sun Dashan bowed his hands.Sun Dashan told the story frankly and eloquently, with good evidences for advances and retreats, and made the story of the theft justifiable and well-founded, but it was difficult for Bai Fu to refute.

Bai Fu said in his heart: "Compared to Tu Xingsun who does dirty work and buys and sells, this Sun Dashan is a veteran."

Seeing that Bai Fu's face was normal and not unhappy, Sun Dashan continued: "While digging the tunnel, my second brother dug into an underground river.

Surprisingly, the underground river is like a moat, surrounded by a copper wall. This copper wall is about several feet long and wide, forming a mouth shape.

According to our experience, within the scope of the copper wall, there should be a secret room.But it took us a lot of work to find the entrance to the secret room.

Now it seems that the water of the fish marsh and the dark river are connected.Open the Longkou drainage mechanism, and the water from the fish marsh can be discharged into the underground river.Turn on the water release mechanism, and the water from the dark river can flow into the fish pond.

Under the Uonuma bluestone slab, there is a secret door.Even if all the water in the Uonuma is drained, if we don't believe that there must be a secret room under the Uonuma, we will not be able to find it.

This Hualazimi is really good. He can easily solve the water pressure problem in the fish marsh and control the water flow in the palm of his hand. "

Sun Dashan is also a great expert in the mechanism of the tomb. He sincerely admires the secret room designed by Huarazmi, and admires this foreign expert a hundred years ago.

Bonnie Atti asked: "We found the secret room, but have you ever found the parchment?"

Sun Dashan shook his head and said, "There is still a mechanism that has not been cracked."

Sun Dashan pointed to the center of the secret room and said: "The treasure should be placed here, but it cannot be opened."

Bai Fu took advantage of the light from the night pearl to take a closer look, and there was a brass and gilt runner hidden in the center of the secret room.

The so-called "runner collection" is an octagonal Buddhist scripture cabinet, shaped like an octagonal pavilion with double eaves.The upper eaves of the pavilion are round, the lower eaves are octagonal roofs, the upper and lower eaves are made of eight pavements with two seconds and three lower arches.

Below the scripture cabinet is an iron bracket standing in a groove on the ground. There is a large wooden pillar in the center, which serves as a rotating shaft to rotate the scripture cabinet.There are several rows of numbers, scales and card slots on the rotating shaft, which may be related to opening the cabinet door.

The scripture cabinet is often equipped with scriptures and Buddha statues, and it is indeed a good place to hide treasures.

Tu Xingsun sighed: "This Hua Lazimi is very thoughtful, even when he gets here, he doesn't easily show his treasures to others.

The number on the rotating shaft is the key, and the cabinet door can only be opened if the number matches the card slot.Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. "

Bai Fu smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry. At most, you can't open the cupboard door, and you can't take out the parchment. I haven't found it for more than 100 years, so it's not too late."

In two days, the house will be repaired. I will close the door of the house, and you will investigate slowly. "

Sun Dashan had a rare serious face, and said: "There should only be three or five chances of trial and error. If you make a mistake, the gears on the rotating shaft will twist the treasures in the scripture cabinet to pieces.

If we are a little more alarmist, if we make a mistake, this secret room will quickly close, trapping us in the copper wall and iron wall for life and death.

Bai Fu and Bonnie Atti were shocked. They didn't expect to find the secret room, and it was so dangerous.

Boni Atti said: "What is this number related to, the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the maze of astrology?"

Sun Dashan sighed: "It's all possible, so it's hard to decipher."

Four people, you look at me, I look at you, silent.

Sun Dashan was the first to break the deadlock, saying: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, with Bai Shaoxia's assistance, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

It's almost dawn, so we'll stop here today.

Bai Shaoxia's suggestion is relatively safe, the Prince Yin's mansion will be repaired in two days, let's close the gate of the mansion and slowly survey during the day.Maybe some more clues can be found.

In addition, I would like to ask Her Royal Highness to recall the life of Khwarizmi to see what important information is related to numbers. "

This is the end of the matter, and it can only be this way.

Before leaving, Bai Fu glanced back at the secret room, and asked curiously: "The secret room is quite large, but there are no other items except the wheel. Why didn't Prince Yin put antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other treasures in it? Wouldn't it be a waste? This treasure land?"

Sun Dashan pondered for a moment, and replied: "Will there be such a situation: if the treasures bestowed by the Holy Majesty are placed in the secret room, all the courtiers will know the value of these treasures. If they did not find them when they ransacked the house, His Highness King Qin would have guessed If the secret room has not been discovered, the mansion of Prince Yin will be turned upside down.

At that time, this secret room will not become a fish that slipped through the net. "

Bai Fu frowned and said: "No! Before the change of Xuanwu Gate, Prince Yin's chance of winning was even greater.

Even if the seizure of the heirloom fails, and the relationship between the crown prince and the King of Qin is in turmoil, the King of Qin will not stay alive.At that time, Prince Yin's lineage will be dead, so what do you want these treasures for?How could Prince Yin think so hard to make such a plan? "

When everyone thinks about it, this is indeed the truth.This strange thing seems to be an unsolved case.

……

The four returned to Uonuma, and started to close the mechanism in Longshouli on the Panlong Pillar.

Only a few clicks of hinges were heard, the bluestone floor slowly rotated up, and the hole was closed.Subsequently, several streams of water poured into the fish marsh, and the fish marsh returned to its former calm.
