Chapter 538 Exploring the Qin Mausoleum (1)

(Two-in-one update, please recommend tickets and monthly tickets)

When leaving Yuan Zhongyi's exclusive reading room, Cheng Mo's mind was in a mess. His father also came to find Yuan Zhongyi and asked him the same question. It was really puzzling, and Cheng Mo also asked. Yuan Zhongyi didn't know why his father came to him and asked him this question. Yuan Zhongyi didn't know. He only knew that Cheng Yongze and Yang Hongxun were studying some architectural aspects of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum together.

Regarding the Qin Dynasty, Yuan Zhongyi is an expert in terracotta warriors and characters, while Yang Hongxun is No. 1 in ancient Chinese architecture. He was once an assistant to Liang Sicheng. , It can be said that Yang Hongxun has made great contributions to the study of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. From this point of view, Yang Hongxun is no worse than Yuan Zhongyi, but the direction of the two people is completely different.

When Cheng Yongze came to find Yuan Zhongyi, it was Yang Hongxun who made the call. Yang Hongxun and Yuan Zhongyi had worked together in the Qinshihuang Mausoleum Museum for a long time, and they had a close relationship.

As for the specific content of Cheng Yongze and Yang Hongxun's research, Cheng Mo also asked Yuan Zhongyi, and the same Yuan Zhongyi didn't know much about it. He didn't know much about ancient architecture, so he didn't ask in detail at all, but only briefly mentioned a sentence. He remembered that Yang Hongxun said at the time: "There are some discoveries, but our generation has no way to prove it, and we can only leave it to future generations to solve."

Not long after that, Yang Hongxun passed away and drove west.

Why did Yang Hongxun say that "their" generation could not prove it? To Yuan Zhongyi's ears, it meant that Yang Hongxun knew that his time was numbered.But what Cheng Mo heard was that Yang Hongxun felt that there was no way to open the mausoleum, so they had no way to prove it.

Obviously, my father went to Professor Yang Hongxun to find out what he found after he entered Qin Shihuang's tomb. As for what he found, both his father and Yang Hongxun who knew about it have passed away. Now the only clue in his hand is this paragraph about the "soul summoning ceremony" Descriptive note
Cheng Mo got on the Mercedes-Benz, asked the driver to go to the Gulou Bookstore, found the relevant columns of architecture, and bought the "A Series of Ten Thousand Generations——A History of Ancient Chinese Architecture" and "A General Theory of Palace Archeology" written by Professor Yang Hongxun. Most of the other books written by Professor Yang Hongxun were about gardens, so Cheng Mo didn’t buy them. Cheng Mo had already read another classic book written by Professor Yang——"A Collection of Architectural Archeology", so he also bought it. Did not take.

Back at the hotel, Cheng Mo ordered a meal directly, then sat on the leisure sofa on the hotel balcony, facing Qujiang Pond, and began to read the three books he just bought, because he was looking for the information he wanted, Cheng Mo Silent reading is not intensive reading, but quick browsing. Although it is browsing, it does not mean that it is not serious and skimmed over.

Cheng Mo put the two books on the stump-shaped log coffee table, and first picked up "A Series of Ten Thousand Generations——History of Ancient Chinese Architecture". However, I did not expect to read it under such circumstances. The book starts from the caves in ancient times, takes history as the thread, and fully and detailedly expounds the development and evolution of ancient Chinese architecture. A book that people who are interested in architecture or history can understand
The beauty of Qujiang Lake at night is extraordinary. The classical pavilions and pavilions are covered with modern lights. Under the night, they look like palaces in the sky. The lights around the lake are bright. The buildings in the distance are layer upon layer, and the colorful neon lights cover the starlight, turning the world into a paradise.

Cheng Mo is at a high place, the fresh evening wind blows, blowing a corner of the page, the surroundings are completely silent, above this big city, the lights are dim, and the abyss is silent. In Cheng Mo's eyes, the stroke The vast history in a stroke, the classical memory brick by brick, slowly entered his mind, and as time rushed, in the world that only belonged to him, the great music composed of words and pictures resounded loudly.

Cheng Mo finished reading the two books in one breath, focusing on the architecture of the Qin Dynasty, and learned a lot. When he got up, he first looked at the majestic Chang'an night scene, and felt that reading in such an environment is really different.Resting his eyes for a while, Cheng Mo lowered his head and looked at his watch. There was still a little while before the meeting time agreed with Du Leng and the others. Cheng Mo went to take a shower, lay on the bed and answered WeChat for a while, then entered the ruins .

Entering the third floor is much more difficult, there are as many as nine small bosses, but fortunately, the proficiency of the cooperation of the five members of Chengmo's team has also improved rapidly. At this time, there is no need for Chengmo to report the time, only need Chengmo to arrange the output order Not only that, several other people also drew inferences based on Cheng Mo's logic, and came up with a lot of ways to strengthen the output of skills, which also benefited Cheng Mo a lot.

The area of ​​the third floor is slightly smaller, so Cheng Mo and the others directly finished the fourth floor tonight, and got stuck in the time limit of going offline two hours earlier than the other teams. When leaving, Guan Bojun mysteriously told Cheng Mo I am studying the skills of five people, hoping to find a way to come up with a combined big move!At that time, play a high-end game when playing Qin Shihuang.

Cheng Mo encouraged them and said cheers, Guan Bojun said that they must impress them when the time comes, Cheng Mo nodded, and Guan Bojun activated the beam of light to return to the main body.

After brushing on the fifth floor for an hour, Cheng Mo didn't do any more brushing. He walked out of the secret room along the room he just brushed, and came to the entrance of the secret room on the fifth floor. Cheng Mo walked to the entrance of the secret door and looked left and right. , No trace of the cockroach was found, only the bronze lamps glowing quietly at the bottom of the corridor, Cheng Mo walked to the wooden corridor, leaned on the red railing and looked down.

The fifth floor is not far from the underground palace. With all his eyesight, Cheng Mo can see a huge rectangular platform below. The platform is as big as a football field, and it is composed of countless huge rectangular stones. Extra heavy.

There is no doubt that it is the roof of the underground palace.

It is hard for Cheng Mo to imagine how the ancients transported such huge stones into the inner layer of the imperial mausoleum?This is even more miraculous than the stone handling of the pyramids, it is simply an incredible miracle.

Cheng Mo looked down at the underground palace for a while, thinking that jumping from the fifth floor of the mausoleum would definitely not kill him, so he was very impulsive to take a look now.

It's just that it must be the territory of the cockroach, and I don't have strong output skills. I can protect myself, but I may not be able to fight.Besides, if you don't go through the maze and jump directly, there will definitely be other unknowable dangers, so you can only give up.

Not being able to enter the underground palace to find out does not mean that Cheng Mo has nothing to do. In fact, Cheng Mo has already thought about where he is going. He observed the surrounding situation and did not find that annoying big gecko, so he went around the fifth floor. I ran around the corridor, and the traps became more dense, which was not a problem for Cheng Mo, but except for the four secret doors leading to the maze, Cheng Mo found nothing, that is to say, the inner layer of the underground mausoleum, only Connect through a maze.

This also means that if Cheng Mo wants to return to Xiangtang at the top of the mausoleum, he must first return to the body, reactivate the carrier, and then re-enter the inner world from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in the outer world.Or go back to the first floor of the basement through the maze layer by layer, enter the corridor, and return to Xiangtang through the bronze elevator.

Cheng Mo thought about it, and felt that there were too many unknown factors to re-enter, so he chose to return from the maze. Although it was difficult to get down from the top, it was much easier to go back to the top from the bottom, because Cheng Mo had discovered something a long time ago, the underground maze It feels scary, as if one room is connected to another room endlessly. In fact, there are probably not as many rooms as they imagined, because as long as you observe carefully, you will find that the gossip marks on the four doors of each secret room are exactly the same. when.

And at this time, the scene in this secret room will be the same, for example, the four doors are marked with the symbols of Kan, Kun, Zhen, and Dui, and the monster that appears inside is a beautiful snake that looks like a "snake". , the spells it uses are also roughly in line with the meaning represented by the eight trigrams marked. The skills of the beautiful snake are mainly water and earth spells.

For another example, if the four symbols of Qian, Dui, Li, and Li appear on the four doors, it must be the scene of the barracks.In fact, Cheng Mo has discovered this situation a long time ago, but this matter has nothing to do with finding the exit of the maze, because the Kun, Kun, Qian, and Qian rooms that can leave do not appear randomly, and the monsters inside are also random. The markings on are irrelevant.

On the first floor, Cheng Mo and the others filled up 999 maze rooms, and only the rooms that can leave the maze appeared. On the second floor, they filled 888 maze rooms, and only the rooms that could leave the maze appeared. The four floors are descending in descending order, so Cheng Mo never mentioned it.

But it's not completely irrelevant, as long as they reach the room marked with Kun, Kun, Qian, and Qian on the four doors, it means that they have reached the end of the maze, and they can find the stairs leading to the lower floor by walking through the door marked by the Kun hexagram in the south.

Not only the room at the end, but also the room at the beginning of each maze must be the room marked Qian, Qian, Kun, and Kun on the four doors, but the entrance must be the Qian door located in the south.In the gossip, Qian and Kun represent heaven and earth, and it can also be said to be the beginning and the end, which echoes the meaning of ouroboros' reciprocating cycle and endless life.

Of course, this may be Cheng Mo’s far-fetched conclusion. In short, these discoveries can’t solve practical problems. Cheng Mo has been just paying attention and doing some thinking, but he didn’t do much research on the Bagua Yijing, but only understood some superficial things. So no clue.

But with this bit of information, it will be much easier for Cheng Mo to quickly walk back from the maze, as long as he finds the room with the eight trigram marks of Qian, Qian, Kun, and Kun on the four doors, and walks through the dry door in the south. Just leave.

So Cheng Mo first went back to the last room on the fourth floor, Kun, Kun, Qian, and Qian, and looked back one by one. After searching for more than half an hour, he found the Qian, Qian, Kun, and Kun rooms. In terms of counting, it is room 6622. Cheng Mo looked at the location on the three-dimensional map and walked straight to the dry door in the south. As expected, he opened it and walked out of the maze on the fourth floor.

The reason why I found room 6622 so quickly is that when I walked back, none of the rooms were repeated, that is to say, there would not be repeated rooms appearing continuously like when I had not passed through the maze.

Even if he knew the secret, it took a lot of time for Cheng Mo to return to the first floor. Fortunately, Cheng Mo was already at level 34 and had [-] hours of activation time. Otherwise, he could only re-enter through the entrance of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum in the watch world land of ruins.

Back on the first floor, Cheng Mo exited the secret door and quickly ran towards the left end of the corridor. The red railing trampled by the big gecko was hanging down on the wall, and the eaves above his head were also falling off everywhere on the dilapidated wooden floor. Falling tiles, tiles and broken wood.
The trap is still there, but for Cheng Mo, there are no annoying cockroaches, all of this is pediatrics, but he can do whatever he wants, and when Cheng Mo is rejoicing, there is a sound of bang bang bang behind him .

Cheng Mo turned his head and saw the golden viper with its big metal mouth open, climbing the wall like walking on the ground, stretching out its tongue like a metal needle and galloping towards him, and saw the black eaves being rubbed off by its body. When Luowadang stepped on the railing occasionally, it was the whine of the railing breaking. This tearing sound seemed particularly penetrating in the silent tomb.

There was no one around at the moment, and Cheng Mo was not afraid of showing his strength, so he immediately used the freezing ray with all his strength. This time, he not only wanted to freeze the ground, but also wanted to see if he could completely freeze the cockroach. , just as the freezing ray shot away, it seemed that the cricket had anticipated the danger, and spit out a jet of water from its mouth, instantly turning the freezing ray shot by Cheng Mo into a thick icicle, quickly heading towards the mausoleum Roll down below.

Cheng Mo didn't expect this guy to have a high IQ, so several freezing rays shot at him in an instant, and the cockroach did the same trick again, spraying out several water balls, and met Cheng Mo's freezing rays .

After all, Cheng Mo was still crushed by IQ. This time the cockroach stepped on the gear, and the instantly solidified water bomb actually condensed an extremely thick ice wall on the wall, blocking the two of them.

Cheng Mo dodged the trap and ran forward. Looking back, he saw Bobu slammed into the thick ice wall like a bull, and continued to catch up with him on countless shattered ice shards.

Seeing that the freezing ray is completely useless, Cheng Mo is not in a hurry. After all, he is a level 34 boss. A C-level skill, the pulse laser beam has not been used many times before, and now is a good opportunity to experiment, so Cheng Mo waved his hand, and a dark purple ray flew towards the big golden gecko.

However, it only stimulated the big gecko's shield with a layer of water and light, which did not play any role. Cheng Mo was not discouraged, and ran forward while aiming the pulsed laser beam at the cockroach's head uninterrupted. He shot at it, anyway, Cheng Mo had a lot of mana, and he was not afraid of losing mana at all. When the cockroach caught up with him, Cheng Mo used teleportation, and continued to consume the water light shield of the cockroach with pulsed laser beams.

This cycle goes on and on, when Cheng Mo used teleportation three times, he saw the narrow door at the entrance where they entered the mausoleum. There was no trap in that section, so Cheng Mo directly used teleportation to stand at the entrance, turned to face The cockroaches who were running wildly used the S-level skill - Abyss Gaze.

As a result, Cheng Mo's eyes flashed red, and the void, which was not originally bright, became even darker. The layers of lights surrounding the mausoleum became far away, and the air swept towards the cockroach like thick black water. go.

The cricket rushing towards the water-light shield seemed to be able to feel the desperate darkness. With its legs straightened, it grabbed the wall and made a sudden brake, but its speed was too fast, and it finally crashed into the wall. In the sticky darkness, he lost all motivation in an instant, just looked at Cheng Mo motionlessly with his head held high and his mouth closed.

"The S-level skills are really powerful." Cheng Mo thought, and then he flicked his fingers with both hands, and countless pulsed laser beams bombarded the cockroaches with a distance of more than ten meters. Seeing the water-light shields of the cockroaches It became thinner and thinner, just as the darkness in the air disappeared, and the cricket regained its sanity. Without hesitation, it turned around and crawled down. When it reached the second floor, it looked back at Cheng Mo, and finally Quickly disappeared into the depths of the mausoleum.

Cheng Mo didn't intend to chase, and there was no way to chase him. He entered the tunnel, passed the white jade beast, and blew across the corridor covered with murals on both sides like the wind, ran towards the bronze elevator, and closed the hollowed-out elevator door. Cheng Mo saw a handle on the right side of the elevator, and pulled it up. The sound of the loudspeaker sounded in the deep granite elevator shaft, and then the bronze elevator began to move slowly upwards.

Cheng Mo knew that it took 7 minutes to get down, and it must have been a lot longer to go up. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so he studied the hollow pattern on the bronze elevator, but unexpectedly, it was still 7 minutes. Cheng Mo I went back to Xiangtang.

The third floor of Xiangtang is still as messy as it was three days ago. Cheng Mo glanced at it casually without thinking too much, and went straight across the broken wall to the corridor on the third floor of Xiangtang.

He opened the map and found the east side. Cheng Mo looked up at the black eaves extending outside. Even if he hadn’t read Professor Yang’s book, he knew that the corners of the eaves that were tilted up like a bird spreading its wings were called cornices, also known as eaves. The cornices of the Qin Dynasty are not as gorgeous as those of other dynasties, there are not many decorative carvings, and the cornices are not too high, they are relatively straight
Cheng Mo jumped up without hesitation, grabbed the corner of the eaves, and flipped up the roof lightly. The roof was covered with dense black curved tiles. Cheng Mo stood on the ridge supporting the eaves, along The vertical ridge goes towards the roof. This is a typical single eaves and pointed roof. It is the same structure as the Palace of Zhonghe in the Forbidden City. A roof style, characterized by a conical roof, no ridge, and the top is concentrated at one point, that is, the treasure roof, and the pointed roof is often used in pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, towers and other buildings.

It seems that someone has been expected to walk a long time ago. Logically speaking, the ridges that should be narrow are also made wider, so walking is effortless.

Cheng Mo quickly walked to the top of the roof, stood on the top side and faced the north, the stars were shining in the blue sky, the sky was a stretch of mountains, primitive and pure, it seemed that this was a real and boundless world.

Other than that, everything is normal. Cheng Mo observed carefully for a long time and found nothing unusual, so what did his father find?

"Could it be that I really want to call Qin Shihuang's name three times to see if he will agree to me?" However, this idea just passed away in Cheng Mo's mind. According to the records, he didn't even have the basic conditions for the ceremony. Saying that there are no twelve people wearing court clothes, and he doesn't even have Qin Shihuang's clothes. If Qin Shihuang really wanted to hang him, that would be too shameless.

Where can I find twelve people in court clothes?Where can I find Qin Shihuang's clothes?Could it be that the Land of the Ruins is not a level for spawning monsters, but a level for missions?To complete the task of resurrecting Qin Shihuang?
"That's not right, Dad is looking for Professor Yang who is a master of architecture, that is, there are some architectural doubts that need to be answered, but what makes Dad have doubts?" Standing on the roof of Xiangtang, Cheng Mo fell into deep thought .

After thinking for a while, Cheng Mo walked around the roof again. From the structural point of view, this Xiangtang is no different from what Professor Yang described. It is a very normal and typical high-rise building in the Qin Dynasty. Symmetrical combination, the section is like a huge "gold" character.

Cheng Mo stepped on the roof covered with tiles. The tiles were very thick, but there was only a light sound, and it did not break as Cheng Mo imagined. Cheng Mo walked around the roof of Xiangtang several times repeatedly, but still I don't understand what made my father go to Professor Yang to consult about architecture.
Unable to come up with an answer, Cheng Mo jumped off the roof and returned to Xiangtang. He started to explore from the first floor, and immediately remembered the four elevator shafts leading to the deep underground. The second and third floors of Xiangtang are relatively large. It is well hidden in the four small rooms outside the hall of the house, and it is hidden in a secret door on the third floor, which is slightly smaller.

It is not a difficult problem for the architects of the Qin Dynasty to hide the "elevator shaft" so that it is not easy to detect.

The problem is what drives the four bronze elevators?For a mausoleum, what is the significance of its existence?
Cheng Mo is very curious, and the meaning of existence is not clear to Cheng Mo, but if it is driven, it is speculated that there must be a pulley block structure above the elevator. As for the driving force, maybe it is a terracotta figurine?
In short, it is not surprising what happened in the ruins. In order to find out, Cheng Mo memorized the approximate location and climbed up to the roof of the Xiangtang again, wanting to see how the elevator works from above.

However, Cheng Mo found the approximate location, squatted down and uncovered one piece after another of black tiles, and piled them aside, but saw a situation that he had never imagined.
