Chapter 125
Chapter 125
"The versions that are currently circulating have only sixty images. I just counted them. Here are sixty-four complete images!" Big Gold Teeth shouted excitedly.
"This book has been banned in all dynasties in ancient times. The original version can no longer be found. The most credible version now is the one annotated by Jin Shengtan in the late Ming Dynasty. It has been collected by the Qing Palace and is now hidden in the Palace Museum."
"This is probably the most original Tui Bei Tu, which is extremely valuable!"
Big Gold Teeth was very excited and panted when he spoke. If he got more excited, his asthma would relapse.
"In that case, this tomb is likely to be the tomb of Li Chunfeng or Yuan Tiangang?" asked the fat man.
"That's right. Let's take a look at the clues on the wall and we should know whose tomb it is." Big Gold Teeth said.
This is Shen Hao who said directly: "No need to look, this is Li Chunfeng's tomb!"
"Oh? Mr. Shen, how did you know that?" Hu Bayi asked.
Shen Hao said: "You can see it by looking at this armillary sphere."
Everyone walked to the armillary sphere and looked left and right. The fat man patted Hu Bayi and asked: "Old Hu, did you see it?"
Hu Bayi shook his head.
Shen Hao then continued, "The armillary sphere is of great significance to Li Chunfeng."
"He has an achievement, which is to improve the armillary sphere."
"Between the outer six-combination instrument and the inner four-travel instrument, a new layer - the three-star instrument - is embedded."
"The diameter of the circle is eight feet, and there are the Xuanji ruler, the ecliptic ruler, the moon-travel ruler, the distance of the celestial constellations, and the movement of the seven planets, which are all prepared here and rotate within the six directions."
"Li Chunfeng was the first in history to divide the armillary sphere into three layers: the six-combination instrument, the three-star instrument, and the four-travel instrument. Its influence is quite far-reaching and it is also one of the most important achievements of his life."
"You didn't see that this armillary sphere is divided into three layers inside and outside, and they can all rotate."
"The armillary sphere is of great significance to Li Chunfeng, so it was placed in the tomb. If it were someone else, they would not put this thing in the tomb."
After listening to Shen Hao's explanation, everyone felt that it made sense.
"So, it's really Li Chunfeng's tomb? There should be a lot of treasures in his tomb, right?" The fat man rubbed his hands and asked.
"That's not clear. Li Chunfeng is a Taoist master. His highest official position is the fifth-rank Taishi Ling. Now, he is equivalent to a director." Big Gold Teeth said.
"Uh, director, hehe~" The fat man smiled.
"Hey, don't look at him as just a director. He is better than us commoners!" Big Gold Teeth said.
"Yes, compared with the director, we are indeed one in the sky and one in the earth. But then again, you are really a commoner." The fat man said to Big Gold Teeth.
Big Gold Teeth was speechless.
Speaking of which, Hu Bayi and the fat man's father are both senior generals in the army. The two of them are really not commoners. They are descendants of generals.
Moreover, if the fat man's father had not been criticized, he might have been a mayor-level leader now.
And Big Gold Teeth is really a commoner.
It's no wonder that Fatty looked down on the director.
"Master Shen, I just saw that there seemed to be several doors on the wall, all of which were closed. What should we do now?" Hu Bayi asked.
"Since this is Li Chunfeng's tomb, he couldn't have set up a mechanism in the tomb. You look around to see if there are any mechanisms. I'll take a look at this armillary sphere." Shen Hao said.
"Okay." Hu Bayi nodded, and pulled Fatty and Da Jinya to study the murals and statues on the wall.
The three of them were on each side. Before they separated, Hu Bayi specifically reminded Fatty: "Fatty, you should be careful, don't move around, be careful of the mechanism!"
"Don't worry, don't you know me?" Fatty said.
"I'm worried because I know. Don't move around!" Hu Bayi repeatedly reminded.
On the surrounding walls, in addition to murals, there are reliefs. There should be no mechanisms on the murals, and everyone's focus is on the reliefs.
Fatty checked one by one, and suddenly walked to a strange relief.
On this relief, the figure holds a brush in one hand and a tortoise shell in the other.
The tortoise shell seems to be integrated with the relief, but the paper and pen look like iron.
The fat man immediately got excited and threw Hu Bayi's instructions behind his head.
His eyes rolled around, thinking that it should be possible to take it down, and it would be okay to take it down.
So he just grabbed the pen and pulled it, and the whole brush was taken down by the fat man.
Suddenly, the mechanism was triggered.
A dragon-breaking stone fell from the door that came in, blocking the door.
Hu Bayi and Da Jin Ya were shocked, "What's going on? Why is the door blocked?"
The fat man said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I just saw that the pen seemed to be able to be taken down, so I wanted to try it. Who knew that it was taken down with just a light touch."
"Fatty, what do you want me to say about you?What should I do? Why don't you learn your lesson? There are traps everywhere in the ancient tomb. Can you touch them casually? "Hu Bayi said helplessly to the fat man.
"Yes, Fatty, you have to change your habit of touching things randomly. Many tomb robbers in the past moved around in the tomb and were trapped in the traps. Many people in my father's generation died in this way!" Da Jin Ya also said.
It's useless to argue now, so the three of them came to Shen Hao and asked, "What should I do now, Master Shen?"
Just then, another door suddenly opened.
Everyone heard the sound and turned their heads to look.
I saw that there was a coffin in the tomb.
"Is it the real tomb? Is that Li Chunfeng's coffin? Then didn't I take the right one?" Fatty said.
Hu Bayi and Da Jin Ya ignored him.
"Master Shen, how about we go in and take a look? "Hu Bayi looked at Shen Hao and asked.
But Shen Hao shook his head, "No need to look, that tomb is a trap, no need to go in."
"Huh? Trap, no way?" The fat man was stunned.
"In that coffin, there is a mercury mechanism. If it moves, a large amount of mercury will be sprayed out immediately. If the tomb door is closed, you can't get out and can only wait for death inside." Shen Hao said.
"Ah? Here, Mr. Shen, where is the real tomb?" Big Gold Tooth asked.
"To open the tomb, the real mechanism must be found in this armillary sphere." Shen Hao said.
Shen Hao's consciousness penetrated the four walls of the tomb and saw that there was a large amount of mercury behind the tomb wall. In the plot, it was the mechanism of the fake tomb that triggered the mercury leakage.
"This armillary sphere can rotate. It is a mechanism. There are scales of heavenly stems and earthly branches on the rotating axis of the armillary sphere. ”
“It can be regarded as an alternative password system. If the triple scale of the armillary sphere is turned to a certain node, the real tomb door should be opened!” Shen Hao said.
“Time.” Hu Bayi muttered to himself, thinking about the most important time point in Li Chunfeng’s life.
“In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng improved the armillary sphere. In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, he was appointed as the Grand Historian!”
