Thinking of this, I took out the machine diagram again, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.
Judging from the drawings, we did not go the wrong way, and it was impossible to go wrong, because the only way down to the ground was the grain transport road, and the distance we walked from entering the drainage hole to reaching the bottom of the ramp was completely consistent with the drawings.
Correspond to the distances marked above.
The location of the tomb door is correct, but the scene inside the tomb door is completely different from the drawings, including the cast stones and stone plate behind the tomb door, which are not marked on the drawings.
In addition, other situations in the tomb are presented in great detail on the machine diagram.
I put away the drawings and said to Zuo Youdao: "Is it possible that Blind Man Xu renovated the underground darkroom after leaving this drawing?"
Zuo Youdao shook his head: "It's hard to say, but only Xu Blind knows what the darkroom looks like.
Maybe the diagram he gave is wrong."
The machine diagram is definitely wrong, I can guarantee this, because Blind Man Xu has been working underground for so many years, and it is impossible to dig out only that small-scale underground tomb.
But what I can’t figure out is, since he didn’t want people to enter this place, why did he mark the location of the drainage hole on the drawing?
Isn't this contradictory?
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Zuo Youdao waved his flashlight forward and said, "Let's go on."
I nodded, taking three steps and two steps to keep up with him.
The underground corridor was not as long as expected.
Zuo Youdao and I walked about a hundred meters, and the door to the main tomb appeared five hundred meters away.
On the walls on both sides not far from the main tomb, there were Two small doors were opened, which are the ear chambers in the tomb structure, which are common in most ancient tombs.
Ghost eyes see everything in black and white in the dark, so at that time I could only tell that the door to the main tomb seemed to be made of finer particles, and the door panel was even as rough as frosted glass. feel.
It wasn't until Zuo Youdao and I walked to the door and smelled the smell of cinnabar mixed with several metals that I was shocked to find that the door was actually made of seven-gold stone.
I know that Shen Wansan was also from the Ming Dynasty.
Although there have been many disputes about Shen Wansan's birth and death years in historical data, no matter which historical data we look at, Shen Wansan was already out of date when Xu Xiazi built the darkroom, and at that time The Shen family is no longer as wealthy as it used to be.
Furthermore, even Wang Zhi at that time did not have enough financial resources to refine such a large seven-gold stone, not to mention that he had to leave the remaining wealth to build a darkroom.
Thinking of this, I went to the Seven Gold Stone and smelled it carefully.
Judging from the age and smell, this thing was indeed not a product of the Chenghua period.
It was produced in the Hongwu period, when Shen Wansan was still alive.
Why does the Seven Gold Stone appear here?
Who is the blind man Xu who built this underground palace?
The strange Gu cave in western Hunan, the old house of the Jin family, and the scenes I had experienced before kept flashing in front of my eyes.
I felt like I had figured something out, but I couldn't catch the light whistling from the depths of my mind.
He suddenly became extremely anxious and his thoughts gradually became confused.
At this time, Zuo Youdao pressed my shoulder with his hand: "Why is the Qi field on your body so messy?"
The yang energy in his body has the effect of calming the inner breath.
When he put his shoulder on my shoulder, I immediately felt that my whole body had settled down.
Although I still couldn't catch the light in my mind, at least I was no longer anxious.
I took a long breath and said, "Maybe this blind man Xu also knows Shen Wansan, or he knows He Baoyuan or Jin Yunfeng."
Zuo Youdao raised his eyebrows: "Shen Wansan" "Yeah.
Alas, I can't explain it in a sentence or two.
Let's discuss it in detail later if we have a chance."
Zuo Youdao nodded first, and then asked: "The He Baoyuan and Jin Yunfeng you are talking about should be the two thieves who dominated Western Hunan back then."
"You've heard of them too" "There was a time when I was asked by someone to investigate the whereabouts of the Jiuzhou Cauldron.
At that time, I looked through almost all the books in the two pavilions inside and outside the Soul Manor.
There was an old book from the Republic of China that recorded the deeds of He Baoyuan and Jin Yunfeng, because the book It is said that the ancestors of these two thief kings once served as servants under Emperor Zhou, and even took care of the Nine Provinces Cauldron for Emperor Zhou, so I am quite impressed."
This was far beyond my expectation.
I never expected that the ancestors of He Baoyuan and Jin Yunfeng were actually the tripod guards around Emperor Zhou.
Zuo Youdao hadn't finished his words yet: "However, since the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of the He and Jin families changed their names and went to live in seclusion in Beiwang Mountain.
It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that they left Beiwang Mountain and moved to Beiwang Mountain.

The Bashu generation lived in inactivity for many generations, and it was not until the Republic of China that He Baoyuan and Jin Yunfeng achieved some fame in their profession. " "Who wrote the book you are reading?
How did he know that He Baoyuan and Jin Yunfeng were the descendants of the people who kept the tripod?"
Just now Zuo Youdao also said that these things were recorded in an old book from the Republic of China.
How did people in the Republic of China know about the Zhou Dynasty?
Besides, the ancestors of the He and Jin families were just They are just the guardians of the tripod, and most of their descendants are doing nothing.
Why are these two families with no research value at all recorded?
I estimate that even He Baoyuan and Jin Yunfeng themselves don’t know what their ancestors did.
Zuo Youdao shook his head and said: "The collection of books in Soul Soul Manor has very complicated origins.
In addition, there is no author's signature in the book, so I don't know who wrote it."
I thought for a while and said: "Go back and look for other books to see if there is any record about Xu Xiazi.
I guess that in the ancient books of your soul-returning village, there is a high probability that Wang Zhi built it in Miao territory.
The events in the darkroom are recorded.
As long as the darkroom here is recorded, it is very likely that Xu Blind’s life story will be recorded.”
Zuo Youdao nodded silently.
His face was not very pretty at that time, and he looked very worried.
I don’t know why his expression suddenly changed again.
It’s been like this all the time since the last time he mentioned the word “night devil” in front of me.
But if he doesn’t tell me about things like this, of course I can’t ask too much.
Next, the two of us could only put aside the little Jiujiu in our hearts and first consider how to open this seven-gold stone door.
A door like this cannot be opened by external force.
Xu Xiazi must have designed the mechanism valve to open the door panel.
Zuo Youdao kept sweeping the light around, while I relied on a ghost eye to carefully observe the surrounding scene, but after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the expected valve opening near the Seven Gold Stone Gate.
In desperation, we can only try our luck in the ear chamber first.
Unexpectedly, there was almost no obstruction to the doors of the two ear rooms, and they were pushed open with a little force.
We were worried that there was a scam, so we stood outside the door to check for any movement.
When I used my ghost eyes to observe the inside of the ear chamber, I found that in addition to a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, there were also many ritual vessels produced before the Ming Dynasty.
Without smelling it, I could tell with my eyes that those ritual vessels were all products from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and these items were of a very high standard.
They should have been dug out of the tombs of princes and nobles.
The weirdest thing is that there are so many valuable things stacked in the ear room, but there is no anti-theft mechanism.
This gave me a very strange feeling.
The things that Blind Man Xu had in his ear room were prepared for tomb robbers.
But then I carefully inspected the jewelry and ritual vessels.
They were clean and non-poisonous.
Even if the tomb robbers took them away, there would be no disaster.
This is strange.
What on earth does Xu Blind want to do?
Just when I was confused, Zuo Youdao opened up a pile of gold bottles in the corner, and saw a two-foot-long stone tablet lying under the pile of bottles, with a few words written on it: "Once you have obtained the wealth, please leave. ", followed by a signature: "Zhongci Jushi".
At first I thought this signature was very strange, but after thinking about it in my mind, I realized that the person who left this line of writing was none other than Xu Xiazi.
Speech refers to words; the middle of the day is noon.
Zhongci is the word "wu" followed by the word "yan", which happens to be the word "Xu".
Could it be that he put away so many belongings just to let the tomb robbers get away quickly after taking the things and not go any further?
Isn't this stupid?
The people who come to fight have no idea whether it is an oil-water tomb or a dry tomb.
If you put so many valuable things here, doesn't it prove that this is a rich tomb?
Do you think they would clear out the transept?

Not only would they clear the transept, but they would also turn the entire tomb upside down.
If they found that the door to the main tomb could not be opened, they might just blow up the tomb wall. .
It seems that Blind Xu doesn't know much about tomb robbing, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
But since he didn't touch the gold and buckets, the tomb he built was quite organized, and even many of the ingenious arrangements were very professional.
If he hadn't specialized in tomb building, he wouldn't have been able to build such a thing.
Since a person knows how to make a mechanism to prevent tomb robbers, he must have a good understanding of the methods and psychology of tomb robbers.
Perhaps the blind man seems to only know the methods of tomb robbers, but not the thinking logic of tomb robbers.
I have to say that this blind man gives me a very strange feeling now.
I have a vague feeling that there must be something great about this person.
Not long after, Zuo Youdao also figured out the anomaly, and couldn't help but muttered: "Could it be that Blind Xu is an amateur?"
I nodded: "Nine times out of ten."
As he was talking, Zuo Youdao bent down and tried to pick up the stone tablet from the ground.
As soon as he lifted the stone tablet off the ground, I saw a deep groove half a foot square exposed under the stone tablet.
There were many broken bronze components in the groove.
I saw that many of the components were irregularly twisted.
I thought that there should have been a complete mechanism in the groove, but it had been artificially destroyed.
Probably Xu Xiazi didn't want anyone to touch this mechanism, so he made it look like this
