Masterful appearance

Xiao Lianshan fixed the rope at the Eight Immortals Terrace, and the others carefully crossed the ice bridge to reach the Eight Immortals Terrace. When they found a place with writing in Xiao Lianshan, Chu Tianci asked everyone to clean up the surrounding area, and sure enough, they soon found a gap in the stone slab.

After pulling away the stone slab, a winding dragon road appeared in everyone's eyes. Xiao Lianshan was pulled back by Chu Tianci just as he was about to go down.

"Do you know what this is called?"

"Brother, didn't you say that this is the Panlong Dao, and the Panlong Dao is usually used in the mausoleums of emperors." Xiao Lianshan said confusedly.

"It's called Panlong Dao, but there is another name, Xuanhun Ladder!" Chu Tianci said solemnly. "

Obsessed with the soul, it makes people have illusions and cannot find the right direction. This kind of Panlong Road generally has 23 stone steps, and the design principle has long been lost. "

Yue Qianling poked her head over to look down and said seriously.

"There have been discussions on the Hanging Soul Ladder in the archaeological world. Many archaeologists are obsessed with this path. It looks like there is only one staircase in it, but it actually leads in all directions."

Chu Tianci squatted on the Panlong Road, watched carefully while walking, and suddenly stopped and pointed to a place and said.

"See this crescent-shaped mark? This is a trap. Follow me. Don't step on the steps with this mark. The mark actually deviates gradually on the steps. In addition, these steps and stone walls may have been smeared. A kind of secret recipe, the paint that absorbs light makes it even more difficult for people to recognize the direction. Once they pay attention to this information, it will cause people to make mistakes in logical judgment. You go round and round on fork roads until you lose your sense of direction at the end."

Chu Tianci leads the way. The architectural design here is very ingenious. Many places are directly cut through the mountain, and the light can be seen clearly without lighting. The Panlong Road circles from top to bottom, and the people behind walk further The more dizzy you get, the stone steps are designed to be very narrow, and if you don't pay attention, you will stumble and fall down.

After walking the Panlong Road, you come to a circular stone cave. The light from all sides makes the cave very bright. There are eight statues of different shapes in the middle of the circular cave. There are eight grooves evenly distributed around, which completely match the grooves from the base of the statue. These statues should be pushed into the grooves.

After Xiao Lianshan and others walked around the cave, Gu Anqi said in surprise.

"Brother Tianci, this cave is so strange. It was completely excavated by hand. Except for the Panlong Road when we came here, there is no way to other places?"

Chu Tianci calmed down, pointed at his feet and said calmly.

"We are at the top of the mountain, how can there be a road leading to other places, the entrance is at our feet."

Xiao Lianshan wiped away the dust in the middle of the cave, and he saw a circular mark, but it was tightly closed.

"Brother, how can I get down?"

"Put these statues in the correct position, and the entrance mechanism will open." Chu Tianci said calmly, looking at the statue in the middle.

"What are these statues? Why have I never seen them before?" Yue Qianling asked curiously after looking around the statues for a long time.

"This is the eight gods, that is, Zhifu, Teng Snake, Taiyin, Tian, ​​Baihu, Suzaku, Jiudi, and Jiutian." Kong Guan said in a low voice from behind. "Among them, the first three ranks of Zhifu, the god of Taiyin is in the first two, the god of the last two is Jiutian, and the god of the last two is Jiudi."

"What's the purpose of putting the statue of Yagami here?" Xiao Lianshan asked in confusion.

Chu Tianci looked at the engrossed answers around him.

"This is the Eight Gates and Eight Gods Formation, evolved from Qimen Dunjia. The Eight Gods are said by Senior Kong. The Eight Gates refer to the Qimen Dunjia and the eight different angles determined according to the eight trigrams. They are divided into Xiumen, Shengmen, Injury door, Du door, Jing door, death door, shock door, open door, only the eight gods corresponding to the correct eight doors will be opened."

"That's easy. Anyway, we have a lot of time, so we'll be done if we try one by one." Xiao Lianshan said disapprovingly.

"Try it casually, do you know what the Eight Gates and Eight Gods Formation is called?" Kong Guan gave Xiao Lianshan a cold look. "Dragon-falling stone! This is a common anti-theft method in imperial mausoleums, and it is more appropriate to use it here. The passage is at our feet. The Ming Tombs were built in the mountains. The passage down is the big circular one you see. Place, the grooves under the eight statues are each connected to a mechanism, once the mechanism is misplaced, the mechanism will trigger a boulder to block the passage, even if one is wrong, the entrance will be blocked."

"Then...then who knows what the correct placement is?" Yue Qianling said.

"Eight Gates and Eight Gods Formation may seem complicated, but it is only for dealing with grave robbers." Kong Guan said calmly. "Eight Gates and Eight Gods Formation evolved from Qimen Dunjia. As long as you are proficient in the number of Qimen, this Eight Gates and Eight Gods Formation is not worth mentioning."

"Senior Kong is right, it's actually not difficult." Chu Tianci said with a faint smile. "I don't know about the others. I just saw this in an ancient book before. Lian Shan, please help me mark the correct positions of east, west, north and south in the cave."

After Xiao Lianshan tested it, he quickly marked the correct positions of the southeast, northwest and north.

Chu Tianci walked under the statues confidently, pointed to one of the statues and said.

"The straight talisman is the god of Tianyi, the head of the gods. Wherever it goes, all evils will dissipate. It is one of the most auspicious and kind gods. Under it, it disappears and enters the tomb. The auspicious place can be told, but the evil place is not fierce. The sky begins with Jia, and the earth begins with Zi. , Lord East!"

Xiao Lianshan and the others hurriedly pushed the straight talisman into the groove in the east, and the stone door in the middle was slowly opened with a bang, revealing the next stone door.

"The original god of Teng Snake is Bing Ding Huo in the south. Its nature is empty and easy to consume. It is the god of deceit. Teng Snake is the yin soil in the center. Its temperament is stubborn. It tends to three and avoids five, and avoiding five means avoiding oneself. Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui five stems and Shang, Du, Jing, Shi, and Jing five evil gates." Chu Tianci continued pointing at Teng Snake. "Teng Snake avoids the five, and the four main positions cannot be occupied, and the southeast position is preferred!"

After the statue of the Soaring Serpent was placed in the southeast recess, the second stone gate was opened.

"Taiyin is the Yin gold in the west. It is a good thing that the God of Yin You is good at doing auspicious and auspicious things. Because Li Naxin was assigned to the Western Dui Palace, Dui was a young girl, and Li was a middle girl. Both young girls and middle girls are Yin. Yang Qi is poor and difficult to cultivate, so it is named Taiyin, its character likes to conceal darkness, loves stillness and does not like movement, and dominates the west."

After the statue of Taiyin was placed in the western groove, the third stone gate was opened.

"The original god of ** is Jiamu. Liujia's younger sister Liuyi was married to Gengjin as his wife. She was pregnant with Gengjin's fetus, Guimei and Jia, and guarded the south. The ordinal number from Jia to Geng is six, so it is named **, Lord South."

**The statue opens the fourth stone gate in the south.

Chu Tianci walked around the remaining statues, pointed at the white tiger and said.

"The white tiger has the shape of Geng Jin in the north, and it has taken Geng Jin. Sunda is the wind, and the wind follows the tiger. The ordinal number from Jia to Geng is seven, which corresponds to the seven numbers in the nine palaces, so it is called White Tiger. , ferocious and unscrupulous, specializing in marching and fighting, murder and armed warfare, disease, death and injury, road impassability and other funerals, the main north."

The fifth stone door opened slowly.

"The original spirit of Xuanwu is Western Rengui water. The water is black, and its shape is formed by the loess in the center, so it is named Xuanwu. It exclusively governs the northwest."

While talking, Chu Tianci pushed the Xuanwu statue to the groove in the northwest, and indeed the sixth stone gate opened.

Wei Yu walked slowly in front of the statue in the middle, moved his lips a few times, and Kong Guan next to him said.

"He said that Jiudi Jiudi is the home of Kuntu, the mother of all things, and is a symbol of darkness. Most of what it does is gentle and respectful, humble and docile, but sometimes it also has the power of life and death, which belongs to semi Good luck and half bad luck, Kun Na B Gui, the ordinal number from B to Gui is nine, so it is named Nine Lands. Landlord Southwest."

Chu Tianci nodded, Wei Yu was indeed a master of concealment, and he knew the Eight Gates and Eight Gods Array like the palm of his hand. When Xiao Lianshan and Chu Tianci pushed the statue of Nine Lands into the groove, the seventh stone gate was opened.

"The last statue is Jiutian, and only the northeast is left." Gu Anqi asked excitedly. "Brother Tianci, why does Jiutian rule the northeast?"

"The body of the Nine Heavens belongs to gold, the image of dryness, and the meaning of all things. It is one of the star gods who strive to make progress and achieve brilliant results. Ganna Jiaren has a strong and active character. The sky begins with Jia, and the ordinal number from Jia to Ren It is Nine, so it is named Nine Heavens." Chu Tianci said with a calm smile. "The person who occupies the ninth heaven position is mostly the most auspicious star god, whose reputation is right and sound, prosperous in seasons, and unhindered in his affairs. If he gets a lucky family and gathers all blessings, even if it is not a surprise, he will not be violent. He is most afraid of going into the tomb. It is difficult to stretch the strength, and the side of the Nine Heavens can deploy troops, so the Nine Heavens are in the northeast."

When everyone worked together to push the last Nine Heavens statue into the groove, the last stone door opened, revealing a step leading to the bottom.

When I went down the steps, I saw clearly the eight stone gates that were opened just now. They are called stone pillars instead of stone gates. The first pillars are two meters high, and it takes three people to hug them. There are several stone pillars this big. It weighs a ton, and the eight stone pillars from top to bottom are stacked neatly together, blocking the way down.

If you can't open the organs of the eight gates and eight gods, you can't get down by manpower alone.

Xiao Lianshan walked in the front, all of them were engrossed by all kinds of mechanisms, and he took every step carefully. Chu Tianci, who was walking at the end, suddenly heard Xiao Lianshan's excited shouts from below.

"Gold! Why... why so much gold!"
