The fat man next to him was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean, I just cut off half of Sister Chang'e's head?"
I told the fat man not to worry about accidentally injuring the fairy. If he were really a fairy, how could his body decompose and turn into a mummy? It must be some kind of weird embalming technology. There will be no gods, let alone extraterrestrial beings.
The reason why I can say this so confidently is because of a friend of mine who once studied philosophy. He once said one of the most sober words when he was drunk. I still remember it clearly. What he said at that time was like this What it says: If you imagine the universe as a huge darkness, human consciousness may be a small candle in it. Keeping this only light is our unshirkable responsibility as humans and what we must do.
However, I did not expect that my firm understanding would undergo a radical change after the end of this expedition.
The fat man nodded. He was very relieved to hear what I said. He was really afraid of accidentally hurting his sister Chang'e. If Hou Yi was buried in this tomb, he would probably eat his fat man alive.
We were sitting around in a group, and no one could figure out the reason for that strange bronze device. We only had to ask the shriveled female corpse who was also watching.
The fat man said without thinking: "You said it has three floors, and each floor is like a timer. Does it have anything to do with the third-generation insect?"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Once this label is attached to the timer, it will inevitably be related to prophecy, the Saros cycle mentioned earlier. The instrument found in ancient Greece had a predictive function. Just like Halley, the discoverer of the Saros cycle, who discovered Halley's comet in 1682 AD.
Astronomer Halley made bold predictions. After 76 years, that is, in 1759. Halley's Comet will appear on Earth again. That year was the 24th year of Qianlong in China.
In ancient times, comets were known as broom stars, and they often had a shaking influence on the emperor's career. For example, in ancient times, there were sky observatories, stargazers, and specialized posts. They recorded and observed celestial phenomena for the royal family, and discovered some patterns, so as to maintain the prosperity of the dynasty as much as possible and not weaken it.
If the three-layered bronze device inside the wooden coffin is really a countdown device, then what does this countdown measure? If it is related to the third-generation insect and we make a bold guess, could it be that the first level is the first stage of the female corpse’s immortality, and the second level is the second stage of immortality? On the third level, can the art of immortality be truly realized after the gears are completely turned?
If so.
This device inside the wooden coffin is to record when the female corpse can achieve true immortality. Then this device can be called: Constellation Immortality Disk.
This constellation longevity chart is not very heavy. But you can feel that there seem to be many small and precise instruments inside that are slowly rotating. If you put your ears close to it, you can hear subtle sounds.
The fat man was an impatient man, and he wanted to pry open the bronze device. Once it is pried open and matched with the scale on the outer disk, don't you know what mechanism is inside? Many precious cultural relics are often damaged by such reckless people and are irreparably repaired. Naturally, I refuse to agree.
In this 800-step dynasty of frescoed passages we only get a strange device. It seems that this installation echoes the dynastic cycle on the mural. The wooden coffin inside the bronze tripod and the strange female corpse had no other supporting evidence, making it impossible to identify the female corpse.
Generally speaking, after important people are buried, life records will be engraved around the coffin.
Is it possible that he really came from heaven and there is no record of his life?
The next best thing was to choose the second passage where Nuwa mended the sky. We took this strange bronze instrument to the passage where Nuwa mended the sky and found that the murals inside were continuations.
There are some strange star maps recorded in it, and they look more and more familiar to me. At the end, I discovered that the symbols on the star map were actually that strange bronze device, which we call the Constellation Immortality Disk. It was very similar to the symbols on it. Could it be? Is there any relationship between the two?
I hurriedly asked the fat man to hold up the constellation longevity disk and compare it with the symbols on the wall. It seems that if this turntable is twisted to a certain curvature, what mechanism can be triggered?
Stargazing. It is a very profound knowledge. Astronomy is the closest discipline to metaphysics because it is based on "observation." ,
It is not like an ordinary experiment, its reference objects are all galaxies from outer space. These irregular star patterns are matched one by one on these disks. Even if the correspondence is correct, the meaning is not known.
In other words, even if this constellation longevity disk is a code disk, if it is a code book, it means that you don't even know the meaning of the code. Even if you spell it correctly, you won't get any answer.
Later, we found a groove in the deepest part of the passage. There was a mural in the deepest part. The star map on it was very bright, and there happened to be such a groove in the center. Hold the Constellation Eternal Life Disk with it. Compared. After comparing it, I found that it was an unexpected match.
We immediately stuffed the three-layer bronze astrolabe device into the groove, turned the outermost disk, triggered the mechanism, and heard the sound of the ocean tide getting louder. The sea air was rising around me, and I had a bad feeling, so I immediately asked everyone to put on their diving gear.
Fortunately, we got all kinds of life-saving diving equipment on the cruise ship, so we were really prepared this time.
Suddenly, a square boulder fell behind us, sealing the entrance, and then seawater began to seep into the surrounding corners.
Only the devil knows how this mechanism leads to the sea. I only know that if we don’t guess the password correctly quickly, all the members of the expedition team will be trapped here and die.
I analyzed the rules of the bronze astrolabe. If this star represents Saturn, that star represents Jupiter... I found the five major planets based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Finally, combined with the Saros cycle, I found out that one of them The pattern of the first and second layers of the Constellation Eternal Life Disk is correct!
Speaking of which, I have to thank an Englishman, Newton.
The young man who discovered Halley's Comet once found Newton. Is the orbit of Newton's star circular or elliptical? At that time, astronomers all over the world were afraid of something, so Newton directly said: elliptical! And it's so sure.
Harley continued to ask: How did you know?
As a result, Newton directly said it was calculated and gave an algorithm. Based on this algorithm, the trajectories of many planets can be calculated, the distance from the earth to the sun, and the distance from the moon to the earth can all be calculated, and it has been certified in later generations. , so Newton is simply a genius among geniuses. At that time, the status of genius was just a ticket to meet the great god Newton.
The fat man also said that apples fall from the apple tree every day, just like the swallows. They don't go to the poor people's homes, and they only hit the wise people.
I told the fat man not to be too happy too early. Although the first two layers of dials were unlocked, the code on the outermost dial was still a mystery. Now that the water level in the channel has been rising, the top priority is still to race against time to unlock the final code.
I retreated to the largest mural where Nuwa patched up the sky. At this time, I could only ask her to appear and give some hints. If the bronze astrolabe is related to Nuwa patching up the sky, which area did Nuwa patch up? Where's the day?
Unexpectedly, Avril, as a foreigner, actually said: "Perhaps it's not the area in the sky it refers to, but the extra day in the leap year. If we lose the saying that every four years there is an extra day, there will be 365 days every year. Don't underestimate this day. , that will cause humans to spend the summer in the cold winter. I don’t know if you can understand this sentence. I actually want to say that it is also reflected in your Chinese lunar calendar. Although your lunar calendar has 30 days in each month, don’t Forget about the existence of leap months."
According to Avril Lavigne’s tips, it seems that I have jumped beyond the five elements. If I want to deduce the end of this code, I still need to explore from the extra part of the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Finally, when my brain was about to burn out, I finally listened to Bronze The astrolabe clicked, and I finally unlocked the password!
By this time, the water had reached our necks, and we had been floating in the stone chamber where Nuwa was filling the sky with earth. There was a crackle, but there was no obvious change in the surroundings.
But at this time, we dived underwater and looked at the star maps around us. Those murals and star charts competed to respond in the water. It really looked like a sky full of stars, shining around us. Looking at the moon underwater was my first real experience. The Nuwa sky patching furnace came alive, as if the big hole in the sky had been patched up.
The walls are covered with stars, twinkling and twinkling, as if they are some kind of pearls from the bottom of the sea, namely clam pearls, embedded in this mural. At this time, the fat man was still thinking about gold, silver and jewelry, and heard my prompt. He took out his dagger and rushed towards the stars in the sky, trying to pry one off.
I noticed that there was an area in the sky full of stars that was empty. That should be the place where Nuwa patched up the sky. As the mechanism slowly operated, the stone wall in front of her began to rotate slowly. At this time, I found that when the stone wall moved, the sea water poured in even more. I was extremely depressed. Could it be that I had used the astrolabe to unlock the secret room and still had no choice but to escape?
At this time, I discovered that there seemed to be some moonlight shining outside the wall. I didn't know if it was an illusion, so I hurriedly swam over and dug through the gaps in the stone wall. I saw the sea water pouring in outside, but the sea water was critical. , seems to have another source, I think that we are still in the underwater maze. This underwater labyrinth is connected to the outside sea water. How is it waterproofed?
Even if waterproof measures are taken, can it withstand the huge water pressure of the sea for thousands of years? When the gap got a little bigger, I could see clearly that there was another mezzanine outside this secret room. This mezzanine was a buffer zone that sealed the sea water. Through this buffer zone. It seems that we can reach another sea area.
There was obviously no other way at the moment, so I gestured wildly under the water to tell everyone that the water was about to be initiated and the stone wall was slowly turning over. Everyone must rush out together when the stone wall flips to parallel, otherwise they will be trapped and die here.
People have understood it, and it is estimated that no one can come up with other solutions. No one wants to soak in a fish tank with a lid.
Taking advantage of this moment, I eagerly hope that this machine will move faster. Every time the huge stone door rotates under the water, it will cause vibrations around the wall!
