Xia Houyun seemed to have found the eye of the tomb, and he called everyone to continue walking westward along the top of the mountain. At the same time, he said to the grim-faced Taoist priest: "The art of observing the stars and pulses may seem mysterious, but in fact the principle is very simple. It can be summarized in four words: ' The sky corresponds to the earth. There are countless mountains, rivers, and rivers in the world, and there are tens of thousands of stars in the sky. As the saying goes, Qian and Kun are inseparable and complement each other. Only when you can find the laws between the two can you touch the threshold of stargazing."
Xia Houhao, the founder of Faqiu Tianguan, believes that the stars in the sky are related to the landforms of the world. Whether it is mountains, rivers, ravines or large rivers, they are like veins on the human body, and the intersection of veins is called "knot point" "There are big and small knots, as many as the vast sea. If you erase all the mountains, rivers and rivers from your mind and leave only the knots, you will find that the earth has become a painting, with only densely packed dots in the painting. If you cast this painting into the night sky, you will see the bright stars. This is the essence of Faqiumen's star-gazing finger pulse technique.
Star-gazing finger pulse technique is a pulse-finding technique that is easy to hear but extremely difficult to get used to. Just knowing the principle is not enough to even scratch the surface, because the stars are changing all the time, every time and every season is different, and the stars are also different. There are always light and dark, and even at the moment of death and silence, trying to find the pattern and determine the direction, and then concretely turn it into the mountains and rivers on the earth, is no less difficult than searching for pearls in the sea. That is to say, a genius like Xia Houhao can find a way Get to the root of it and draw it into a book.
In his later years, Xia Houhao compiled what he had learned throughout his life into a book called "Mountains, Rivers and Dragons" for inheritance within his sect. The "Tianzi Volume" mainly writes about stargazing and finger pulse techniques. , explained in detail one by one from the principle to the operation, and also drew the dragon veins of the stars and mountains and rivers in the scroll. Hence the name of "Mountains and Rivers Dragon Judgment Map", so the descendants of the Faqiu Sect only need to write down the Dragon Judgment Picture, it is much easier to perform the Star Observation Finger Pulse Technique. If an outsider does not have this picture, he will be a layman no matter how he learns it. He can only look at Faqiu Tianguan pointing out the famous pulse of Sichuan and sigh.
"So that's it." The grim-faced Taoist priest sighed after hearing this: "Faqiu Tianguan can stand at the head of the Mushroom Gate, and he is doing something extraordinary, so that we can admire him!"
"This is just the foundation of each sect, just like the Eight Dukes of the Han Dynasty who broke into the Immortal Palace - each has its own wish-fulfilling curse. It's not about who is superior and who is inferior. Let's not talk about it. It depends on the position."
Several people have reached the place where the ridge shrinks. The terrain on both sides of the mountain becomes steeper as they go forward. Xia Houyun pointed to a steep narrow cliff on the north side and said: "In addition to the main tomb of Zimu Tomb, there will be two corridors connecting the burials. Outside the tomb, I also have another door. The golden well is the eye of the pulse, and the star is bright; the door of the tomb is the eye of the dark, and the star is dim. The old man concluded that the entrance to the tomb is under this dangerous cliff."
After hearing this, the Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the bottom of the cliff. This dangerous cliff was not high at all. It was three to four feet deep and two feet wide. It seemed as if a piece had been deducted from the hillside. The Taoist priest with a grimace turned his head and confirmed the position with Xia Houyun. , when the latter nodded to show that he was correct, the grim-faced Taoist priest took out the Eagle Lock and said: "I will go down first, and you will follow after landing."
After hanging up the flying eagle lock, the Taoist priest with a grimace walked to the bottom of the cliff in a few seconds. The bottom of the cliff was surrounded by a relatively flat open space, which could easily accommodate a dozen or so people. The Taoist priest with a grimace shook the rope to signal that everyone could come down. At this moment, he began to look at the condition of the rock wall.
The bare rock wall was particularly eye-catching compared with the vegetation next to it. Although there were no traces of artificial excavation on it, the grim-faced Taoist priest could still spot Ni Duan at a glance - the lower end of the rock wall was buried deep in the soil, and the soil at the angle looked like it. It's very abrupt, and the open space behind me is too neatly maintained. The weeds on it are obviously much sparser than those around it. It looks like they are all backfilled earth. There are probably tombs underneath this kind of place. I have judged this way in the past. , but Qiu Tianguan didn't even step on the plate. He just observed the stars and combined with the compass positioning, he was able to accurately find the tomb door. This ability is not to blame for being praised by his colleagues at Mushroom Sect, and he will also praise it to everyone in the future. Up three points.
After a while, everyone had reached the bottom of the cliff. The Taoist priest with a grimace told everyone his opinion. He thought that by digging down against the rock wall, he could find the tomb door. Xia Houyun touched the rock wall and agreed: "This The dangerous cliff looks like it collapsed when digging a cave in the mountain. The Taoist priest's guess is good. Let's build a bridge and start the road now (to prepare for the robbery cave)."
Everyone did as they were told, and soon a three-foot-deep vertical pit was dug in front of the rock wall. When they continued digging downward, a diamond wall made of stone bricks suddenly appeared at the bottom of the rock wall. The Taoist priest with a grimace said happily: "Yes!" At the same time, he asked He Siniang above to throw down a torch for him.
After lighting the torch, the situation in front of me was instantly clear. The arc-shaped top of the coupon could be clearly seen on the straight and straight rock wall. Although the coupon hole below was still hidden in the soil, it was already certain that it was the sealed King Kong Wall. Wrong. The grim-faced Taoist priest indicated the height, dug another two feet into the hole for the thieves, and then expanded the hole laterally in preparation for dismantling the diamond wall.
The grim-faced Taoist priest remembered that when the Northern Wei army opened the tomb for burials, a thick black mist emerged and claimed hundreds of lives. Now he had to be careful when opening the main tomb, so he rushed up and shouted: "Lao Qi is coming down to meet the poor." Please give me a hand and bring a concentration pill along the way."
"I didn't expect that you would actually find the Concentrating Pill." Xia Houyun watched He Siniang take out two eight-treasure boxes and said in surprise: "Li Tianwen has been searching hard for this thing, but He Siniang actually has two of them?"
He Siniang nodded, but then she said worriedly: "I forgot to ask Master Xuanyun how effective this medicine is. Do the Taoist Priest and Lao Qi each have to take one pill?"
"No need. I have heard a little bit about this Concentrating Pill. Adults only need to take half a pill orally. However, the Concentrating Pill is very precious. You should use it sparingly. If you look at it, don't go into the pit. Let me If my grandnephew goes to help the Taoist priest, not only can I save half of the Concentration Pill, but I can also let him practice."
When He Siniang came, she already knew Faqiu Tianguan's physique to avoid poisons on the way, so this arrangement was naturally the most suitable. After a few polite words with Xia Houyun, she handed an eight-treasure box to Xia Houxiang and let him enter the trap. Go with the Taoist priest Ghostface to demolish the Vajra Wall.
The Taoist priest with a grimace had already dug a horizontal hole behind him for the purpose of placing stone bricks. After Xia Houxiang came down, he didn't say much about it. He just quickly took apart the sealing wax of the Condensing Pill, cut half of it and put it in his mouth, and then used The crowbar began to pry away the stone bricks.
After the first stone brick was pried out, Taoist Priest Ghostface and Xia Houxiang hid aside in case there was a mechanism behind the wall. After waiting for a while, they found that there was nothing unusual, so they felt relieved and walked forward. I threw my arms away to demolish the Vajra Wall, and soon the two men tore out a three-foot-square hole in the wall. The cave was pitch black, and there was no wind. When the torch was inserted into the cave, the Taoist priest with a grimace appeared. I saw a painted red tomb door three steps away.
After encountering the air, the red paint on the tomb door quickly curled up and shrank until it fell off, and then exposed the original gray-white stone inside. The Taoist priest with a grimace shook his head, cursed in a low voice, "It's a fucking stone door again!", and then got in. hole, turned over and jumped into the corridor behind the Vajra wall.
The corridor is as tall as a person and was dug directly into the rock. As Xia Houyun expected, this is a cliff cave tomb. The Taoist priest with a grimace stepped forward and pushed the stone door. The stone door did not move at all. It seemed that there was a door sealing pillar behind it, so he turned to Xiahou Xiang who followed him and said: "Master Xiahou, I don't know how your sect solved the top door when they fought against each other. Pillar?"
Xia Houxiang shook his head and replied: "Most of us choose to skip the tomb door and drive the Tongcai Road directly into the tomb chamber. I have never heard of anyone competing with the tomb door."
"What about this kind of cliff cave tomb? It is surrounded by thick rocks. Can a hole be dug into the tomb?"
"I don't know about this..."
The Taoist priest with a grimace picked up a handful of the jasmine seeds and said to himself, no wonder your second uncle is half buried in the loess and still has to work around, you are a damn real person! Faqiu Tianguan is the largest sect in the Mushroom Sect. Is it possible that he doesn’t even know how to dismantle the doorpost? Why don't you, a stupid young man who doesn't know how to do it, still want to compete for the position of sect leader? Faqiumen will be finished sooner or later in your hands.
The grim-faced Taoist priest originally wanted to learn from his master, but when he saw this situation he could only shake his head helplessly, walked to the entrance of the cave and greeted: "Old Seven! Come down with the guy who took down the door."
After a while, Luo Laoqi jumped in from the hole with a door needle and other objects. The Taoist priest with a grimace took the door needle, went to the stone door and quickly removed the top door pillar, and then worked with Luo Laoqi to push the stone door open.
The corridor behind the stone gate only has a gap of two steps, and the further inside is indeed filled with sealing stones. However, as the Taoist Ghostface expected, the sealing stones are not big. They are all strips of sand and slate as thick as a thigh, and you can't even look at them. About a hundred pounds, the grim-faced Taoist saw this and said with a smile: "The blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, I really made the poor Taoist guess, let's do it!"
Luo Laoqi spat on his palm, picked up the crowbar and opened the sealing stone and said: "The owner of the tomb did this very honestly. He was not willing to use big stones. It would be more beautiful if the distance between the sealing stones was shorter. Otherwise, it would be enough to dismantle it from beginning to end.”
"Don't dismantle everything. Just dismantle three horizontal and vertical pieces to create a hole big enough to crawl through. You won't die from exhaustion if you dismantle them all."
While the two were talking, Luo Laoqi had already pulled out two pieces of sealing stone. He followed the Taoist Priest's plan and only removed the upper left corner pieces. The sealing stone could be four feet long. With Luo Laoqi's strength, it would be effortless to lift it. With great effort, the first layer was broken through in the blink of an eye, but the second layer of sealing stones that was tightly attached immediately made Luo Laoqi a little frustrated, because the owner of the tomb chose to arrange one layer vertically and one horizontally in order to make the sealing stones firm. , in order to pull out the sealing stone on the second layer, we can only expand the hole in the outer layer, which takes a lot of troubles. Taoist Priest Ghostface and Xia Houxiang also took turns to fight, and finally after half an hour, the three of them completely penetrated All sealing stone layers in the corridor were removed.
