"What on earth is this thing? Why does it seem like someone is loading and unloading hidden weapons in the crenel!"
Song Siyuan took the telescope and clearly felt that there were countless people spying on them in the copper curtain, closely monitoring everyone's every move.
If her feeling is true, does it mean that there are really thousand-year-old living creatures in the tomb, helping him to guard the underground capital!
"It may not be a living person. Have you ever heard of Mozi's Tianji Pavilion!"
Even if Master Mao doesn't sing, he has already become famous. The Tiangong Pavilion he talks about actually has a lot of origins in Song Siyuan's opinion.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the powerlessness of the Zhou Dynasty and the decline of royal power caused confusion among the people of the world. The princes were eyeing them, and they all regarded it as their lifelong ideal to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world.
The chaos of the world will inevitably lead to ideological turmoil in various countries, and the various schools of thought will emerge from this.
In those years when stars were shining brightly and scholars were vying for supremacy, the Mohists not only put forward the simple and pragmatic proposition of universal love but non-aggression among the many theories. In that era of underdeveloped science and technology, they even studied force, light, geometry, and sound in advance. , universe, time and space theory, and implement materialism and pragmatism into the thoughts of students and apprentices.
Tianji Pavilion is the institution where the Mohists study secret techniques and precise mechanisms!
The disciples in the pavilion are all geniuses carefully selected by the leader of the Mohist family, Juzi. They use the Four Symbols of Tai Chi and the Nine Palaces and Bagua as their ideas and create many strange mechanisms.
For example, the wooden kite flying eagle, the puppet soldier, the rotating machine, the crossbow flying chariot, the charcoal fire chariot, the flowing horse land chariot... The craftsmanship is so exquisite that even the noble public transport class of the Lu State dare not compare with it. It is actually the first in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Weird mechanism.
Later generations revered its founder Mozi as the ancestor of the mechanism, and collected all the exquisite mechanism drawings designed by him and his disciples for several generations into an atlas called "Tianji Jinghuolu".
This book uses Tai Chi thinking, Jiugong Bagua, and Qimen Dunjia as its secrets to design nearly a thousand different mechanisms, ranging from small locks and lamps, medium to large carriages, horses, sedans, and large mausoleums and palaces. Every aspect of things has no less than dozens of mechanisms.
This book was passed down to the Qin Dynasty, and some fragments of the original copy can still be found among the people.
However, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor deposed hundreds of schools of thought to burn books and enslave Confucian scholars. Knowing that this book inspired people's wisdom, he ordered it to be destroyed. Only one copy was copied and kept in Xianyang Palace for study by the descendants of the Ying family.
It is a pity that the Qin Dynasty was tyrannical and the Qin Dynasty fell immediately after the second generation. As the Xianyang Palace was burned down, the whereabouts of "Tianji Jinghuo Lu" were completely unknown and disappeared into the billowing dust.
"The old man was lucky enough to get a copy of "Tian Ji Jing Hu Lu". It was a hand-written scroll specially hidden in the wall by the Confucius family when the Qin Dynasty burned books. After thousands of years of circulation, it has been copied and mimeographed many times. It has long been It’s unclear, but I see that the mechanism above contains the Centipede Flowing Hammer Car!”
"really?"
Yue Guanchao looked at Master Mao. If there is a record in history, it means there is still hope of cracking it.
"That's natural. Now that we've reached this point, old man, what's the point of lying to you?"
Master Mao patted his chest and made sure of it. Seeing that things were turning around, Yue Guanchao continued to ask: "Is there a way to crack it in that book of mechanical skills?"
"What about this? Hmm... um~"
Mr. Cat was at a loss for words. Song Siyuan saw that he was a little embarrassed, so she stepped forward and asked, "Isn't it possible that the book didn't introduce the secret to deciphering the code?"
Master Mao looked at her and hurriedly waved his hands to retort: "That's not true. This book changed hands several times when it was copied, and was revised and revised by later generations. It is already very different from the "Tianji Jinghuo Lu" thousands of years ago. It can be said that Except for the same name, the contents inside have been changed to some extent. Even if you want to find the original drawings, you will probably not be able to find them."
"Hey, then it's no different than nothing. Anyway, I can't find the mechanism."
Yue Erpao squatted down with his hands in his hands, staring helplessly at the star hammers in front of him. They seemed to be tireless, striking and hammering from all directions. If he didn't know the secret of breaking the mechanism, he would never dare to set foot again, lest he become a soul killed by the hammer.
Master Cat rolled his eyes, his eyes brightened, and he said slowly:
"Don't be impatient, little brother. Although the drawings have been tampered with several times, things remain true to their origins. Even the most exquisite mechanisms are inseparable from the Nine Palaces Bagua and Qimen Dunjia. I remember the opening prophecy of this book is quite subtle. , as the saying goes, three cobblers can rival Zhuge Liang. If I tell you, everyone will take a closer look, and maybe there will be a turn for the better."
After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes, pinched his hands and recalled:
"Born with yin and yang, four walls and eight elephants, nine shoes on one, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four as shoulders, six and eight as feet, five in the middle, going back and forth in order, going around and over, ever-changing, all based on the same principle."
"What on earth does this mean? Why don't they explain the secret clearly? They have to say it in a blabbering way!"
Faced with these riddles, Yue Erpao couldn't figure out what they meant. Master Mao was not so impatient and explained:
"The ancients worshiped the heavenly ancestors and acted based on the Yin-Yang Bagua theory. Everything was done to the detriment of Qian Qian and benefited him. If he said it too clearly, it would be like revealing the secrets of heaven. They preferred to let interested people read the secrets. It all depends on people to understand the opportunities."
