Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 465 Bagua Lock

Gu Qinglan suddenly felt dizzy, and said: "I really can't figure it out, this Queen Mengmao, why do you have so many hanging soul ladders, won't you use some other mechanisms?"

Ding Ermiao looked at the entrance of the cave and said slowly: "Actually, Queen Mengmao is smart. If you install bows, crossbows, concealed weapons and other mechanisms, it is impossible to maintain it for more than 2000 years. But the hanging soul ladder can exist for a long time, unless there is a geological disaster, earthquake, landslide Something will be destroyed."

"What should we do now? This hanging soul ladder seems to be different from what Wu Zhanzhan said..." Gu Qinglan asked again.

"It's different. This is the Lost Soul Cave, not the Suspended Soul Ladder." Ding Ermiao looked up at the ceiling of the passage and said, "But it is certain that it is designed based on the principle of the Suspended Soul Ladder. It will never change without departing from its origin. ."

Gu Qinglan tried hard to recall Wu Zhanzhan's explanation of the Hanging Soul Ladder at that time, and said: "According to Wu Zhanzhan, the flaws of the Hanging Soul Ladder are all at the junction. So we are now at the Sanchakou, and this flaw should also be here. right."

Ding Ermiao's flashlight was sweeping across the ceiling, and finally landed on a groove in the ceiling.The ceiling here is also made of jade, but the color is very dark, dark green.The groove is only the size of an egg and is darker than the surrounding area.

Around this groove, there are many irregularly distributed grooves, all of similar size.

"You're right, Sister Lan, the mechanism is here, on these grooves." Ding Ermiao pointed at the top wall with a light and said: "The grooves above form a Bagua diagram, which should be the mechanism." where."

Gu Qinglan looked up for a long time and said, "I don't think this looks like gossip? It's disorganized."

Ding Ermiao nodded, pointed with the flashlight beam and said: "It doesn't look like it at first glance, but I think this is a deliberately disrupted acquired Bagua diagram. Here, the direction of Zhendongduixi from Nankanbei is They are both correct. However, there is a big difference in the orientations of Ganbei, Kunxi, and Genbei, Xunnan, and Southeast."

"I can't see the direction you're talking about." Gu Qinglan smiled apologetically and said, "Just tell me how to break this mechanism."

Most of the Bagua pictures that Gu Qinglan had seen before were innate Bagua. She didn't understand the acquired Bagua at all. What's more, this was another acquired Bagua that was deliberately disrupted?

Ding Ermiao took the crutch from Gu Qinglan's hand and said, "Sister Lan, stay back. No matter what happens here, don't come over."

"So, it's dangerous?" Gu Qinglan became worried and said:

"If that doesn't work, let's quit together. Maybe Wu Zhanzhan has gone out. Now that the corpse blood has been collected, as long as we meet Wu Zhanzhan, our next task is to search for the remains of the two Maoshan seniors. It's okay not to go to the Queen's tomb. "

Ding Ermiao pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Where is the danger? I am just taking precautions. Sister Lan, please step aside and let me try to crack the mechanism here."

Gu Qinglan stared at Ding Ermiao for a long time, then silently stepped back a foot away, watching Ding Ermiao's actions from a distance.In fact, she had already thought in her heart that if anything happened to Ding Ermiao, they would die together.

Seeing Gu Qinglan walking away, Ding Ermiao turned on the lamp with one hand and raised the stick with the other. After confirming again, he used the branch in his hand to press a little harder into a groove in the northwest position of the stem.

When the stick is pointed out, the top wall does not change.But then, the light and shadow in front of him began to flash, and the top wall also made a subtle creaking sound.

Ding Ermiao made a whoosh sound and stepped back, standing side by side with Gu Qinglan, nervously looking at the ceiling in front of her.

The noise became louder and louder, and then pieces of gravel the size of ping pong balls fell from the top wall one after another, hitting the ground with a crackling sound.

"Er Miao, will this place collapse?" Gu Qinglan asked, unable to stop looking at the falling gravel.

"I don't know..." Ding Ermiao shook his head and suddenly asked: "Sister Lan, are you afraid?"

Gu Qinglan smiled slightly and said calmly: "I'm not afraid of being with you."

While he was talking, the gravel in front of him gradually stopped falling.

Ding Ermiao walked forward slowly and shined a flashlight. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed and shouted: "Sister Lan, I was right. Come and take a look!"

By this time, Gu Qinglan had already followed.

I saw that the jade on the top wall collapsed and made a larger groove, diagonally moving forward.There are about a dozen small grooves distributed in the large groove.

"Then, these grooves are the real Bagua grooves, and the others are fake, used to confuse people." Ding Ermiao shook the flashlight and explained excitedly: "Actually, this is a Bagua lock. , the Kongming Lock of later generations has the same principle as this. As long as you press the wrong place, the entire tunnel will collapse. So I was very worried just now."

"But how did you analyze the correct location? With so many grooves, how did you find the location of the mechanism?" Gu Qinglan asked.

"According to common sense, since it is the Queen's Tomb, the mechanism should correspond to the Kun position. But this is the Qimen Bagua Bureau of the day after tomorrow, so I did the opposite and chose the northwest groove. Unexpectedly, it really You were right, haha!”

Gu Qinglan shook her head and said, "But the passage hasn't come out yet?"

"This kind of Bagua Lock has a total of nine levels. After the ninth level, the passage will be opened. But this mechanism is one-time use. Once it is opened, it cannot be restored." Ding Ermiao said with excitement:

"Now we understand that those savages have never entered the Queen's tomb. So this morning, my junior sister led the high priest into the Queen's tomb. The high priest was frightened."

Gu Qinglan thought for a while and then asked: "But I don't understand. These savages have never seen the queen. Why do they believe that the queen is still alive?"

"Celestial phenomena, celestial phenomena!" Ding Ermiao analyzed:
"These savages have never entered the queen's tomb, but they have seen their queen in the sky, so they always regard the queen as a god-like existence! Just like when we saw my junior sister in the sky this morning, I still thought at first I thought she had become a fairy!"

"This is in line with the savages' worship of the queen. But Liu Jia has never mentioned this matter. Could it be that they have never seen the queen appear in the sky in the savage valley?"

Ding Ermiao spread his hands: "I don't know, Liu Jia said that the high priest can steal the sky and change the sun. Then the high priest must have mastered the method to make the queen appear in the sky. Perhaps, when the high priest did it, he deliberately prevented these women Look. Because these have nothing to do with those women. The mission of those women is to give birth to their sons and sleep with them..."

Gu Qinglan nodded and urged: "Continue to break the trap, enter the Queen's tomb, and everything will be clear."
