‘Xuanwu rejects the corpse’. gou_pi’s ‘Xuanwu Rejects Corpse’!

After I figured it out, everything suddenly became clear and I couldn't help but laugh. This was completely a misunderstanding. The four words my uncle said were not these four words at all, because our preconceptions about the burial scriptures disappeared as soon as we heard them. The four words with similar pronunciation made it a perfect match. And just as I expected, this code was actually not a code at all. The third uncle used a very clever method to make his almost straightforward words be heard by others. It was conveyed in front of me, but only I could know the true meaning.

It seems that the third uncle has already thought that the people who came to the imperial mausoleum with me may not necessarily be the people he arranged.

A few people saw the drastic change in my expression and immediately knew that I had woken up, and hurriedly asked me what I had thought.

I explained: "We really thought wrong. The third uncle said that 'I' can understand this sentence. The most important reason is not that he and I have something in common, but because I grew up in Hangzhou." people."

Several people still didn't understand, and the fat man asked: "So, this has something to do with the scenery of Hangzhou? No, you, fat man, I have been to Hangzhou, and I have never heard of a scenic spot called 'Xuanwu Jie Zhi'?"

Pan Zi shook his head and said: "What are you talking about? It must have nothing to do with the scenery. People who grew up in Hangzhou may not be familiar with Hangzhou's scenic spots and historic sites. You see, our third master has settled in Hangzhou for almost ten years. , he knows about West Lake. Last time he took us to Gemstone Mountain to drink tea, and he helped us get lost. Finally, when it got dark, we saw that we were at Yuquan."

I nodded. Indeed, I am also such a person. Who said that those who make antiques must like monuments? I have not visited many scenic spots.

The fat man frowned and said to me: "It has nothing to do with the scenery? What is tnd? You'd better tell me directly. I'm so anxious." He wiped his sweat as he spoke.

I didn’t want to show off, so I said to him: “It’s very simple. If you grow up in Hangzhou, you may not necessarily be familiar with the scenery, but you can definitely understand the Hangzhou dialect. This is the key.”

Several people were stunned for a long time. Apparently they had some feelings, but they still didn't understand. The fat man asked: "Is it the pronunciation?"

I nodded. Among the few people here, I am the only one who is proficient in Hangzhou dialect. Pan Zi has been in Changsha all year round. He can speak and understand Hangzhou dialect, but if you want to go deep, it will not work. Fatty Jing Movie, As soon as I heard it, I knew that Shunzi, let alone Shunzi, who had been living in Beijing all year round, couldn't speak Mandarin well. If Uncle San spoke in Hangzhou dialect, only I could understand him.

Unfortunately, because Shunzi is not good at Chinese, he only remembered the pronunciation and did not hear the previous words and the change of intonation at the end, so when he read it with his mouth, it became a completely out of tune sentence.

Pan Zi patted his head and said, "Holy crap, I really didn't think of this. What does 'Xuanwu reject corpse' mean when you pronounce it in Hangzhou dialect? It seems difficult to pronounce it."

I smiled and said: "Just listen to my analysis. In fact, the code word of the third uncle is not four characters, but 'the place where Xuanwu refuses corpses'. Of these six characters, the first character 'Xuan' has the same pronunciation in Hangzhou dialect." 'Yuan' is similar to the pronunciation of 'Yan' and '武'.

The pronunciation of "湖" is the same as that of "湖", but in Hangzhou, the pronunciation of "湖" can be said to be both a lake and a river. 'Water' has the same pronunciation, 'Zhi' has the same pronunciation as 'Zhi', '地' has the same pronunciation as '地', and when combined, it means - water along the rivers and canals to the bottom! "

As soon as I finished explaining, several people said "ah" and looked enlightened. The fat man nodded. Obviously my translation was very reasonable and had no flaws.

Pan Zi said "tsk" and murmured, the third master is the third master. If Chen Pi's Asi heard this sentence, he would never even think of it, and he would definitely rack his brains to figure out the meaning of "Xuanwu rejects the corpse".

"River water?" The fat man asked, "But there are no rivers here? Is there a river in the imperial tomb?"

I said: "There must not be one in the mausoleum. There can be a spring in the mausoleum, but there should not be a river, because the water level of the river is not controlled. If the water is too high, it will flood, if the water is too small, it will break down, and the river will expose the ancient tomb. The location. The river channel mentioned here may refer to this moat."

The flesh on Pan Zi's face trembled with excitement, and he said: "Then we bumped into each other by mistake, and are we still going the right way?"

"It's hard to say." I shook my head. After all, I had never been to the imperial mausoleum, so I didn't know what was going on inside. However, based on the current signs and all the information I had read before, my analysis still made sense.

"If the river is a moat, then the ditch, damn it, could it be the one we saw just now -" The fat man stood up and looked at the burial ditch full of stone figurines on one side. It was just like the third uncle. When the signal appeared, we all turned our heads and our hearts beat faster.

"However," Pan Zi was a little unsure, "there is no water in the canal."

I shook my head and said: "Uncle San had not entered the imperial mausoleum at that time. What he said was probably just a hint he got from somewhere else. It might be some ancient book or map, and this kind of map or ancient book was produced at that time. People probably never imagined that one day there would be no water at all in the moat."

There are traces of corrosion on the rocks piled up on the river wall here. There must have been water in this river originally, but after thousands of years, the source of the river water, either an underground river or a hot spring, may have dried up and the river water cannot be replenished. It gradually seeped into the ground, and in the end nothing remained.

The fat man couldn't hold back his anger. He pulled the gun with a click and tilted his neck at us: "Comrades, it's rare that our personal interests and the interests of the revolution are highly unified. What are you waiting for? Let's get the fuck together." "

This time, we couldn’t find any reason to refute Fatty’s suggestion. But he was obviously too impatient to set off immediately. Pan Zi pulled him down and said: "Now that we have an idea, there is no rush now. Look at the mistress, who has been so seriously injured and has not recovered yet. Do you want to go alone, or do you want us to leave him here to die?”

The fat man was stunned, and it made sense after thinking about it, but he was really horny, so he patted Shunzi and said: "Then let's go and explore first, Qinniao will eat the first dish, and let them rest here. Make sure you don’t get less than what the third man gave you.”

Unexpectedly, Shunzi also shook his head and said: "Boss, my mission is to bring him to the third master of yours." He pointed at me. From now on, you will not care about my life or death, but now I have to watch. he."

I laughed after hearing this and said to the fat man: "Now you know who is the big shot here, right?"

The fat man sighed and said unhappily: "Okay, you all rest here, Fatty, I'll go by myself, wait until I touch a few treasures and come back, see if you are jealous or not. I said something ugly in front of you, if you touch it, it's mine, don't you?" None of you have any share in the points!" He picked up the gun and left.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, paused, turned around and walked back again. We all laughed and asked him what he was doing, but we didn't dare anymore?

The fat man snorted, kicked off his backpack, sat down opposite the wind lamp, and said, "Why don't you dare? You really miss me. Fatty, I'm not that stupid. Wait a minute and I'll take out my things, you three." Come up and grab it, my fierce tiger is no match for a pack of wolves. If I take advantage of you, I might end up making money or killing you, so I won't do this heartless business."

Pan Zi saw that the fat man had been unhappy, so he took the opportunity to taunt him: "You have a villain's heart. You think we are all like you."

I was afraid that he was getting too serious, so I interrupted them and said, "Okay, don't say anything anymore. It's almost midnight now. Although we can't see the sky here, we still have to take the time to rest."

Pan Zi looked at his watch, nodded, turned up the wind lamp, and suddenly the surrounding area became warmer. Then he pulled out the inflated sleeping bag, blew it in, and everyone fell asleep in it.

The fat man lit a cigarette and said he couldn't sleep, so he came to guard the first shift. I glanced at him and told him not to go out and look for things by yourself in the middle of the night. Once you enter the Xuan Palace, you can take whatever you want and stop here. Don’t fucking look down on me.

The fat man said in anger that he was such a person? He kept vigil to keep us safe.

I was tired from the journey. It was already evening when I reached the top of the snow. It took me almost 10 hours to reach the palace in the ice cap. It was equivalent to a day and night of strenuous physical labor, including rock climbing, running, long jump, and long jump. I failed and fell down the stairs. I was tired just thinking about it. As soon as I got into the sleeping bag, I fell asleep quickly.

I had a good sleep. Because I was a wounded soldier, I was not allowed to keep vigil. When I woke up, the surroundings were still dark, and the wind lamp was much dimmed. The night watchman had been replaced by Pan Zi, who was leaning on a stone and smoking. , while the fat man's snoring was like thunder.

I looked at my watch and saw that I had only slept for five hours. However, when you are seriously injured, the quality of sleep is usually very good. Because the body is repaired intensively, the person is basically in a semi-comatose state, but when he wakes up, his mind is refreshed. But my body was even more tired, and my waist and back ached severely.

I rubbed my face and crawled out of the sleeping bag. While moving my hands and feet, I asked Panzi to go and sleep for a while, saying that I would stay for a while. Panzi said no, I was used to it in Vietnam, and I couldn't sleep for three hours a day without being in bed.

I ignored him, sat on the stone on the other side, and ordered a cigarette to smoke to wake up my brain.

The two of them were silent for a while, and suddenly Pan Zi asked me if I could estimate how my third uncle was doing now. Will something happen?

I saw that his expression was really concerned and worried, and I felt a little bit emotional in my heart. Logically speaking, people like Pan Zi who have come down from the battlefield are used to seeing bullets and bullets, life and death, so they shouldn't have such deep feelings. But in fact, Pan Zi's loyalty and trust to this old man makes even a nephew like me feel it. Ashamed, I don’t know what happened between Pan Zi and Third Uncle in the past. I really want to ask him if I have the chance.

I comforted him and said, "Don't worry, that old fox will never treat me badly. He's a tough guy. If something happens to him, he won't wait until now. We just need to take care of ourselves now. At this stage, It’s us who should worry others because we don’t know anything yet.”

Pan Zi nodded, sighed, and said a little annoyed: "It's a pity that my brain is not good. I can't understand what the third master does. Otherwise, he doesn't have to do such dangerous things personally. I can just go." .”

I smiled bitterly in my heart, thinking that what the third uncle did was not necessarily very dangerous. On the contrary, I felt that the most dangerous thing was us, always following the third uncle to guess what the third uncle meant, and then being led by his nose. If this goes on, No matter how lucky you are, there will be times when you get hit.

For example, this time, judging from the clues that Uncle San could give us about the entrance to the underground palace in advance, it seems that there is something on him that allows him to know the structure of the underground palace in advance, "along the rivers and canals, the water reaches the bottom" is a classical Chinese saying , Uncle San didn’t speak in this tone, this sentence must come from ancient books. As for what Shunzi said, the third uncle entered the snow-capped mountains alone to take a look. Obviously, he did not fall into the hands of Aning and the others. If he successfully entered the crater, then he might have been in the underground mysterious place of the imperial mausoleum. In the palace.

It can be speculated that the 'thing' that allowed him to know the structure of the underground palace in advance should be the purpose of his trip to Xisha a few months ago. It can also explain why Aning's company appeared here. Their goal should not be The undersea tomb is the Yunding Tiangong here. Cooperating with the third uncle to go to Xisha is just to find clues to the Changbai Mountain underground imperial mausoleum in the undersea tomb.

And Aning was separated from us for a long time in the ancient tomb under the sea. When we were exhausted and driven crazy by the traps, what did this woman do in the apse? Did he get the key to the underground imperial tomb here just like his third uncle? We don't know this, but the well-equipped corpses we saw in the front hall just now prove that Aning's team has arrived here before us. According to what Shunzi said, such a large team could not pass through the border defense line anyway, but they came through unscathed, which shows that they must know a secret road that no one knows.

This at least proves that Aning and the others also know things that we don’t know.

This is the absolute difference between us and them. We are completely 'ignorant'. We cannot estimate what is waiting for us in the underground palace. This is actually the worst situation, but we must continue to move forward. There is no option to retreat, which is the worst of the worst.

I didn't tell them any of this, because for Pan Zi, his third uncle was everything, and he had to do whatever his third uncle asked him to do, regardless of his motives. For Shunzi, he is a complete outsider. This is a one-to-one transaction. He only cares about the final result. The fat man is even simpler. He came here to "catch the Lama". The things in the tomb are the key. Our third uncle is just a synonym for trouble to him. The things I analyzed seemed to be only useful to me, and only one person was confused.

Everyone else lived such a simple life, which for the first time made me feel a little envious.

After chatting for a while about other things, Pan Zi asked me if my health was okay. I felt it. After sleeping, my body had improved a lot. At this time, I should be able to move around without help. But obviously, fighting is still difficult. No way. Pan Zi said that it would be better to take a rest. It was rare that it was so quiet here and it seemed to be very safe. I am afraid that after entering the underground palace, there would be no such opportunity again.

When I thought about it, I wanted to get into my sleeping bag and fall asleep again, but I couldn't fall asleep. The fat man on the side kept talking in his sleep in a dialect that I couldn't understand. He seemed to be bargaining with others. When he was most excited, Pan Zi threw stones at him. Once the stone hit him, the fat man immediately became obedient, but it would start again after a while, which was very noisy. I couldn't hear it at all when I was tired, but now I want to fall asleep. This is so annoying.

After another two hours of hard work with his eyes closed, Pan Zi picked a stone too big and hit the fat man awake. Now no one could sleep, and Shun Zi was also woken up.

After tidying up our things and eating some dry food, we walked back to the burial canal we just saw. The decayed black stone figurines still stood there silently. The long queue stretched to the endless streets on both sides. Within darkness.

I was helped to climb down the canal, and immediately walked into the human figurines. I was looking down at the human figurines from above, so the feeling was not very strong, but once I got down, the human figurines became as tall as me. , the dark shadows all around caused a strong uneasiness in my heart.

The fat man used his flashlight to shine in both directions and asked me: "Your third master asked us to follow the water, but there is no water here now. Where should we go?"

I looked at Pan Zi. He had participated in the special warfare stage during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and should have done some research on this kind of thing.

Pan Zi approached a human figurine, touched the cracks on it, and pointed in the direction of the figurine, "Look at the traces of water flow on the stone, that side should be downstream."

The fat man came closer, but he couldn't see why. He said distrustfully: "Human life is at stake, don't talk nonsense."

Pan Zi ignored him and told us to be careful, and several people started walking along the ditch towards the dark part of the moat.

I have no idea about the length of the moat. When I looked at it with a flare on the cliff, the entire imperial city was a distant view. We probably only saw the tops of the buildings, and the moat was blocked by the dense dead woods around it. And when we were on the bridge, the light of the flashlight was not enough to illuminate everything in the darkness. So I walked straight along the Burial Canal for half an hour, but still didn't end at the bottom of the moat, which was completely silent.

The Burial Canal is high and uneven, and in some sections, the human figurines inside were badly broken, as if they had been stepped on by something huge. The hard, unknown stone was shattered into pieces. I even found that at the bottom of the ditch, , From time to time, the heads and limbs of human figurines appear, as if there is a layer of such things buried in the soil under the burial canal.

Or you can think of it this way, this trench was originally going to be buried, but for some reason, the project was stopped, so there are still so many human figurines that have not been buried.

It got darker and darker as we walked. The flashlight shone on the river wall on one side, and there was still a little reflection, at least there was a reference. As we walked, we couldn't even find the towering river wall on one side, and everything was dark. Yes, we couldn't help but slow down. Pan Zi reminded us to be smart and not to be distracted.

At this time, the fat man walking at the front stopped. We were about to step forward when we saw him making a gesture telling us to stop.

I walked up to him and looked with his flashlight. I saw that the end of the burial canal had been reached. The procession of human figurines had disappeared. In front of me was a huge stone river wall. It should have reached the other side of the moat. The river There seems to be a huge thing like the Leshan Giant Buddha carved on the wall, because the flashlight can't illuminate the whole picture at all, and I don't know what it is. I can only see a square hole covered by gravel at the base of the river wall. Now the stone A lot of it has been moved away, revealing a dark hole.

This is the same as the passage we entered just now. This hole was also one of the passages secretly dug by the craftsmen who built the mausoleum. It was the only passage they had to escape after the underground palace was closed.

"Another tunnel for counterattack?" Pan Zi said in surprise: "How come the opening is here? This is impossible."

"How is it impossible?" the fat man asked. "You didn't fix it."

Pan Zidao: "This place was underwater back then. Do you think those craftsmen were all fish?"

I waved my hand to tell them to stop making noise. At this time, Shunzi said "Hey" and said, "Come and see, there is something here."
