Treasure Hunter Master(also known as Living People Avoidance)

People who don't know Cao Yuan may still have some doubts about the place she pointed out, but I trust her to the extreme.

If the last emperor of Loulan, Queen Jieyou, can't find the treasure buried by her family, wouldn't it be a big mess?

So, Cao Yuan just pointed, and I took the engineer shovel without saying a word and started digging. Digging a pit in this desert is soft and basically effortless, but it is troublesome to dig, because the sand here is very loose, which is the so-called quicksand. When you shovel a shovel of soil, the sand next to it will fill it up immediately, which is quite troublesome. However, this is the case with the sandy soil at the beginning. It gets much better later, and it is easier to dig than other places. It took me nearly half an hour to dig about half a meter deep. At this time, I suddenly heard a "click" sound, and it felt like the engineer shovel seemed to have shoveled something. There was a crisp sound below, and the point of force was very hard!

This is...

I was confused. It didn't seem like I had shoveled into something like a stone blocking the passage. If that was the case, the recoil from the engineer's shovel would be much greater than it is now. Out of curiosity, I took back the engineer's shovel, squatted down, and dug up the sand buried on top with my hands, and finally saw what was under the sand.

Mole crickets!

To be precise, they should be fossils of mole crickets!

These mole crickets are the most common North China mole crickets, which are called farming dogs in our north, but there are too many buried in the sand now, stacked in countless layers, densely packed. Although they are dead things, they are disgusting enough.

It seems that Loulan did suffer a serious mole cricket disaster back then.

I shook my head and didn't study these things carefully. I took the engineer shovel and continued to shovel these mole crickets. The next half meter below was almost full of these things. After shoveling them out, they piled up like a small mountain. The fat man shivered beside him: "There are so many. If they are alive, these things will eat people, right?"

I smiled and didn't respond. These things really ate people when they were hungry! !

Don't say it's a low-intelligence insect. Even we humans will eat people when we are hungry. When did we not eat people in the bad years in history? At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people were killed and their internal organs were hollowed out. The ankles were hooked with pork hooks, and then the bodies were hung upside down in the market to sell. When people bought them, they picked the delicate parts just like pork!

According to the records in the "Records of Buddhist Countries" written by the monk who traveled west, after these mole crickets ate the crops of Loulan, because there were too many of them, they began to mutate in order to survive. At first, they ate each other, and evolved into a large number of farming dogs that were about the same size as local dogs. Then they began to eat the corpses of people abandoned in the wilderness. These things became violent and very cruel after eating human corpses, and even dared to attack humans. The monk who traveled west to seek scriptures had been besieged by these things, and several disciples died before he finally escaped with his life. So when he wrote about what he saw and heard on the road after returning from the journey, he focused on the mole cricket disaster in Loulan, providing very useful information for future historians and archaeologists to verify the factors of Loulan's demise.

When these mole crickets were basically dug out, the engineer shovel in my hand finally gave a sonorous response after a shovel.

This time it should be correct, it must be the stone gate!

I wiped the sweat off my head and yelled to the fat man: "Can you stop just looking at it? If you dig it up, come and help!"

"Okay!"

The fat man laughed awkwardly, jumped in with a military shovel, and cleaned up the surroundings with me. The corridor left by the Loulan people after they sank the palace finally appeared in front of us. A stone door of about two square meters appeared in front of us. It was very well sealed and looked like a hanging door design.

This design does not belong to the Central Plains. It is a tomb door design developed by the Western Regions. Steel wires that had appeared in the Western Regions at that time were pulled on all four sides of the stone door. This steel wire is not the steel made of pig iron that we have now, but a rare iron ore unique to the Western Regions at that time. The 36 countries in the Western Regions called this rare iron ore Wugang. It's a pity that this iron ore was only a flash in the pan in history. It was mainly produced in Dayuezhi. Later, it may have been dug out, and people in later generations never dug it up again. This kind of black steel is drawn after high temperature melting, which is the steel wire in the design of this hanging door. Then the steel wire is pulled into the walls on both sides, so that the door is directly closed. If the door gap of this kind of door is well sealed, there is basically no solution. Once it is closed, it is a dead end, unless a mechanism is left when designing the hanging door, otherwise it will not work even if it is blown up with a bomb, because a steel wire mesh is interwoven inside the whole stone door, which is more powerful than the steel plate sandwiched in the bulletproof vest. It is said to be tough and will rebound after a huge impact. In other words, if you forcefully hit or blow up the door, the door will be fine, but the person who hits or blows up the door will be in trouble. It seems that several stone doors in the tombs of Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong used this design. In the Republic of China, a warlord learned from Sun Dianying to steal the Eastern Tomb and blew up the door without knowing whether to live or die. As a result, the bomb exploded and killed a lot of his own people. They were so scared that they turned around and ran away, saying that Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong were in cahoots with each other. Since then, no one dared to think about Qianling.

Fatty and I were dumbfounded when we saw this tomb door design, but then I thought, the Loulan people built this passage in order to take out the treasure in the future, so even if they used the hanging door design, it should not be possible to lock the door directly. There is a high probability that they left a mechanism to open the door, so I simply drilled into the earth pit and pulled the loess on the tomb door with my hands and observed it carefully.

Don't say it, I really figured out some tricks!

After pulling away the loess on the stone, I found that there was a tortoise shell with a diameter of about half a meter inlaid in the middle of the hanging door. The texture on this tortoise shell is very unique. It is a figure composed of eight three virtual and real straight lines, which is different from ordinary tortoise shells.

I stared at the picture on the tortoise shell for a long time, and the more I looked at it, the more shocked I was - this tortoise shell seems to be the legendary Luoshu!

That figure should be the Nine Palaces and Eight Winds diagram. The structure is nine on the head and one on the feet, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, and five is in the middle. The five white circles are all positive numbers, and the black dots in the four corners are negative numbers, representing the eight trigrams of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Dui, Xun, Gen and Zhen respectively, which is the legendary Fuxi Xiantian Bagua, and is the most primitive five elements and eight trigrams deduction diagram in our country!

Luoshu is a divine object. I didn't expect to see the legendary Luoshu. The age of this thing can be basically traced back to the ancient times. It is said that when Dayu was controlling the flood, he was at a loss. As a result, a divine turtle emerged from the Luo River, carrying the Luoshu on its back and presented it to Dayu. Dayu successfully controlled the flood according to this book, so he divided the world into nine states, and then established the Nine Chapters of the Law according to this to govern the society!

It can be said that Luoshu is the basis for the emergence of the prototype of our country's ancient society. It is infinitely changeable and contains the truth of the universe. Many Qimen Dunjia techniques also originated from Luoshu. It is estimated that the mechanism to open this door should be in Luoshu.

But how did this thing appear in the Western Regions?

I am also full of doubts.

"Did you figure it out?"

At this time, Cao Yuan suddenly came to me with a smile: "You have a good eye, I think you know this thing."

I nodded: "Is there Luoshu in the information that suddenly popped up in your mind?"

"Yes!"

Cao Yuan said slowly: "But this turtle back heavenly book is not the real Luoshu, but another turtle back heavenly book. At the beginning of the founding of Loulan, a giant turtle once appeared in the Tarim River, carrying a heavenly book on its back, and was obtained by the founding emperor at that time. However, the founding emperor at that time did not understand these mysterious things at all, so he just collected this turtle book that looked very mysterious. Later, when the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, The war lasted for a hundred years. Loulan was caught between them. Because it was inclined to the Huns, it was severely beaten by the strong soldiers of the Han Dynasty several times, and even the king was captured once. It was during that period that the Han soldiers who entered the country found the tortoise book, but they did not rob it. They just leaked the news. For a time, the Taoist disciples of the Central Plains entered Loulan to look at the tortoise book. Among them, a Taoist master became a guest official of Loulan at that time and taught the contents of the heavenly book to the royal family of Loulan. The mechanical art and the art of Qimen Dunjia mastered by Loulan all originated from the content taught by the master! "

I smiled bitterly and nodded to show that I knew it.

The tortoise is indeed mysterious. It is a divine object in Feng Shui. There are three grids in the center of the tortoise pattern, representing the three talents of heaven, earth and man. There are 24 grids next to it, representing 24 mountains, and 10 grids representing the ten heavenly stems. There are 12 grids at the bottom of the tortoise pattern, representing the 12 earthly branches, which include all the heaven, earth and man at once. It is said that all things in the world are on one back. In addition, the turtle is the god of the northern black tortoise. If you keep it at home, it will be auspicious, especially for some people whose five elements belong to fire. Keeping a turtle is a acupuncture object, which is called "evil-removing turtle". If there is a long-term sick person at home, keeping a turtle and letting it walk around at home will be beneficial and harmless!

"Then..."

After hesitating for a while, I asked Cao Yuan with a wry smile: "Can you decipher this turtle back heavenly book? I can't see the way with my attainments."

Cao Yuan smiled and suddenly asked me: "What day is today in the lunar calendar?"

I was stunned, calculated the time, and said: "It should be the 15th day of the 10th lunar month."

"That's right!"

Cao Yuan said mysteriously: "The 15th day of the full moon, at midnight, is the time to open the door!"
