Chapter 78 Ghost Valley Hidden Buckle

Everyone hurriedly pointed their flashlight at an area on the right side of the stone gate. Jia Zhuangyuan rubbed a few protuberances almost the same color as the stone wall, and said to himself excitedly, "Good boy, this is a seven-star chain buckle."

Everyone looked at Jia Zhuangyuan with doubts, and saw him looking back at everyone, pointing to a few bumps on the stone wall that could hardly be seen with the naked eye and said to everyone, "Did you see these raised dots? Their arrangement is arranged according to the seven-star Beidou in the sky. These seven bumps are the mechanism to open this stone door.

Liu Dashao couldn't help asking, "Then why is it called the seven-star chain buckle?"

Jia Zhuangyuan blinked his little eyes and explained, "Everyone has heard of Guiguzi, the master of his grandson in the Warring States Period, right? Gui Guzi, surnamed Wang Mingxu, was born in Weiguo (now Qi County, Hebi City, Henan Province) in the Warring States Period. He is good at holding his body and vertical and horizontal skills, and is proficient in martial arts, martial arts, and strange gossips. He has written 14 military books of Guiguzi. The people call him the ancestor of Wang Chan, a prominent figure in the history of China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He is one of the "hundreds of families", the ancestor of the vertical and horizontal family, and an outstanding educator. I often enter Yunmeng Mountain to collect medicine and practice. Because he lives in seclusion in Qingxi Ghost Valley, he is called Mr. Guiguzi. He was the first to create this seven-star chain buckle. This mechanism is exquisite. The bulge of each star is connected to a hub. These seven stars are seven hubs, and there is a general pivot in the stone gate. The seven-star hub must be pressed one by one according to the rotation orientation of the seven-star Beidou to touch the general hub in the stone gate, and the stone gate can also be opened.

Everyone couldn't help marveling that people in the Warring States period were so clever and intelligent to create such exquisite locks.

Jia Zhuangyuan continued: "Of course, if we make a mistake in calculation and do not press the seven stars according to the predetermined direction and time, the stone gate will never be opened. Moreover, there may be unknown dangers.

Seeing what everyone seemed to want to ask, Jia Zhuangyuan continued with a clear smile, "It is said that this seven-star chain buckle was first used in the inner secret library of the imperial city of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period, because Gui Guzi was the prime minister of the State of Chu. According to ancient books, there were spies from the State of Qin who sneaked into the imperial city of the State of Chu and wanted to enter the secret library of the imperial city to steal. Because they touched the seven-star chain buckle, they were killed. The reason is that if you press the seven-star chain button right, you can open the general pivot, and if you press the wrong button, the seven-star may be connected to the general center that drives the killing mechanism.

"Do you mean that there may be some killing mechanism hidden in this stone gate?" Fan Debiao asked confusedly.

Jia Zhuangyuan nodded and said, "Maybe it's in the stone gate, maybe around the stone gate. The ancients would set up some killing organs, such as ancient tombs, when they hid treasures, built tombs, or hidden important things. Especially in the tombs of some historical figures, there are often countless organs, hidden weapons and news. The purpose is to protect your body from being excavated by enemies or descendants. Common things such as: when you touch the mechanism, there will be traps, poisonous fires, hidden weapons such as arrows and spears, gunpowder, sand and so on. Let's talk about this stone door. If the seven stars move the killing mechanism, maybe the traps will crack underground, maybe heavy sand will fall on the top of the head, or poisonous fire, hidden weapons and so on will spewed from the four walls.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. This ancient man was really smart. Of course, it is also a vicious method. If the ancients were as civilized as modern people, that is, cremation, then there would be no such hidden weapons. How simple it would be.

Jia Zhuangyuan said again, "Actually, these hidden weapons are still easy to prevent. There are still many anti-theft skills that the ancients that people don't know. For example, raise some strange evil creatures guarding tombs, such as raising corpses and ancient beasts. Some people who are familiar with spells or witchcraft will even raise some strange things. Let's not talk about it here one by one."

After saying that, Jia Zhuangyuan took out a strange, octagonal black thing from his arms. He smiled and said to the crowd, "This is the star spectrum compass used by people to calculate celestial phenomena in ancient times. The precise celestial orientation can be engraved on it. As long as you turn the compass, the sky above will change. We can accurately determine the orientation of the seven stars.

He casually asked, "Who is carrying the watch? What time is it now?"

Liu Dashao looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "At 1:3 a.m."

Jia Zhuangyuan nodded, then adjusted the pointer of the compass and said to everyone, "Focus the flashlight on my hand and the seven-star bulge."

Then he held the compass and walked to the front of the raised stone wall of the seven stars. Everyone quickly concentrated all the flashlight to the position he wanted, and then watched his behavior nervously.

Jia Zhuangyuan also seemed to be a little nervous. He took a deep breath, and then stared at the rotating celestial orientation on the compass. His hand slowly stretched out and rubbed the bulge of the seven stars.

Everyone held their breath and watched his fingers suddenly press one of the stars, and heard a crisp "click" sound inside the stone door. Liu Dashao felt some sweat oozing from his forehead, and his heart was pounding.

Jia Zhuangyuan kept pressing the other stars on the stone wall for more than ten seconds. With the continuous sound of "click", the stone door began to shake slowly. When his hand stopped, suddenly, the stone door seemed to be still, no longer making a sound or shaking. Just as everyone was depressed and doubted whether the old man had pressed the wrong direction, the stone door suddenly made a dull sound, which made everyone tremble. Just as everyone was frightened, the stone door slowly rose up, and a rotten breath overflowed from the crack under the stone door and penetrated into everyone's nostrils.

With the slow rise of the stone gate, everyone's hearts are hanging. What kind of scene is it inside? What strange things will happen to everyone? After a dull "bang" sound, the stone door stopped its rise. Inside the stone door, it was very quiet, and the smell of darkness and haze came towards it.

Jia Zhuangyuan raised the fire fold, slowly walked to the door, and peeped in. After a few seconds, he seemed to see it clearly through the small fire fold. He turned around and said, "Put the flashlight together and take a picture inside."

As seven or eight flashlights shone into the door at the same time, the scene inside surprised everyone. Inside the stone gate turned out to be an empty underground canyon. The black cliff opposite extends endlessly to both sides, and everyone's position is the cliff corresponding to the cliff.

Jia Zhuangyuan extinguished the fire fold and wanted to pass a flashlight and shine down. A stone step mesling down, I don't know how deep it is.

Jia Zhuangyuan turned around and said, "It seems that the construction here is very spectacular. Although I can't see the underground building yet, this natural underground canyon tells me a lot. Everyone follow me, be careful and go down slowly.

The steps are very narrow and steep. It seems that they should be made by the craftsman with the slope of the cliff. Everyone followed Jia Zhuangyuan one by one and slowly walked down.

About ten minutes, everyone finally reached the bottom. The scene in front of us is very spectacular.

An extremely wide underground canyon appeared in front of everyone, with a width of about 100 meters and an unknown length, and there was no end on both sides. On both sides of the canyon are steep cliffs like axes and knives

Jia Zhuangyuan made a gesture to ask everyone to wait, and he slowly moved forward under his feet with a flashlight. After walking about ten meters, he waved to everyone to follow him.

When everyone passed by, Jia Zhuangyuan was squatting on the ground and looking at something. When I got closer, a strange smell filled everyone's breath. Everyone looked in front of Jia Zhuangyuan, and a dark dark river was flowing along the canyon at a very slow flow.

Jia Zhuangyuan moved his nose deeply and said, "It's strange that this dark river seems to be full of oil. Be careful not to smoke. I guess we will all finish playing with a little open fire.

Liu Dashao asked, "Then where should we go now?" Upstream or downstream?"

Jia Zhuangyuan said, "According to the direction, we should go downstream."

Jia Zhuangyuan stood up and continued, "Everyone must be vigilant. I feel very uncomfortable here. This is an intuition that I have experienced many underground life and death experiences. As soon as I opened the stone door, I felt an indescribable evil atmosphere in this space. Therefore, everyone must be vigilant and remind each other. Once you find a trace of abnormality, you must remind everyone.

Everyone nodded. Jia Zhuangyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

So everyone walked downstream along the dark river in the underground canyon.

Along the way, except for everyone's footsteps and breathing, everything is silent and terrible. Even the slowly flowing oil dark river has no breath. This silence makes everyone feel very depressed and scary.

After about ten minutes of travel, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of me, like a mountain stone, or a large building. However, I can only see a huge shadow in the dark, and I can't see the whole picture clearly.

Suddenly, I heard Fan Debiao scolding, "Dead vegetable green worm, why do you touch my buttocks? "I'm a squire!"

"Your grandma, when did I touch your ass?" The vegetable green worm behind Fan Debiao cursed back.

Liu Dashao turned around and scolded, "Don't make trouble, okay? I don't look at the situation."

At this time, Cai Qingchong also shouted, "In the back, who the fuck touched my buttocks again?"

Yang Weidong behind him quickly pleaded, "I didn't touch your ass."

At this time, Jia Zhuangyuan shouted, "Be careful, everyone, there is something!"

He saw him raise the whip in his hand and quickly run behind the crowd. Everyone hurriedly looked back. A small dark shadow flashed up behind Yang Weidong and jumped onto the mountain wall on the right, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Fan Debiao scolded in shock at this time, "What the fuck? Touch my ass." Liu Dashao stared at the little shadow for a moment and said solemnly, "If I guess right, it's a yin monkey."

"What? Monkey? What is it?" Fan Debiao asked in surprise.

Liu Dashao said, "The ancient books of the Monkey are recorded as a strange beast growing in the underworld. It is said that this thing is evil and cunning by nature, and is good at absorbing people's spirit and blood. As long as it is targeted by it, it can't escape the exhaustion of blood and death."

Jia Zhuangyuan came over at this time and interrupted, "The boy is right. The thing just now is indeed a monkey, but he is young, not tall enough, and can only touch your buttocks. If it is an adult monkey, the comrade who just touched his buttocks will probably be miserable."

Fan Debiao asked stupidly, "What will happen?"

Jia Zhuangyuan smiled and said, "Then it touches the back of your neck. What do you think will happen? It is estimated that you will become a dead corpse in dozens of seconds.

Fan Debiao and the green worm looked at each other and sweated coldly. Jia Zhuangyuan shook his head and said to Liu Dashao, "You two brothers are a little stupid. I don't know why they are favored by the big locust and fight upside down."
