Chapter 253: The Eight Treasures of the Son of Heaven
Emperor’s Eight Treasures Machine Door.
As the name suggests, this secret door is not a door to a tomb, but is used by the palace.
The so-called eight treasures must have nothing to do with the eight treasure porridge. It refers to the emperor's seal in the old days. There are eight kinds in total, namely the national sacred treasure, the appointed treasure, the emperor's three treasures, and the emperor's three treasures. They are collectively called the eight treasures. In a certain sense
First of all, the eight treasures symbolize the supreme imperial power in ancient times. Counterfeiting the eight treasures is tantamount to rebellion and means destroying the family and exterminating the family.
The etiquette of the world began in the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Gongdan established the etiquette laws. This is the famous Zhou Rites. The etiquette laws that China is known as a country of etiquette are all derived from the Zhou Rites, including our etiquette officials. It was also at that time that the etiquette laws were established.
After getting rid of Taoism and stepping onto the imperial stage, it was at that time that the Eight Treasures appeared.
According to legend, the earliest Eight Treasures of the Emperor forged in the Western Zhou Dynasty were not only seals, but also eight keys. Only with these eight keys can one open the door of the Eight Treasures of the Emperor in the palace. Behind the door is the Emperor's secret chamber, containing many royal secrets.
According to records, all the royal weapons are hidden there, making it an important place among the country's important places.
However, by the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the princes were divided. The rules were no longer rules. The technology of the Emperor's Eight Treasure Machine Door was also lost. The construction method was no longer a secret. Those princes and kings secretly
There is no shortage of construction, and people do not dare to call themselves emperor due to the general trend of the world, but who can stop them from enjoying themselves secretly?
An ancestor of our family who lived in that era left a note. In it, he mentioned this matter and cursed it with indignation. Although he did not directly mention his surname, one sentence was nonsense and the other was greedy for heaven's merit.
, obviously scolding Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, indicating that these two people should have cast the Emperor's Eight Treasures Machine Gate at that time.
Later, it became even more chaotic. As long as a person was a person, he would keep such a secret room for fear of losing his prestige. It was not until the time of the First Emperor that he abandoned the boring method of the emperor's secret room and established a more complete one.
Royal Secrets Protection Measures.
It is not unusual for the undead to learn how to construct this kind of mechanical door, and there is really no skill in this kind of door. In short, it is so thick that it will make you despair.
The official Eight Treasures of the Emperor door is actually made of lead-tin alloy, a kind of bronze, with a thickness of more than five meters. There are eight locks connected inside. After putting the Eight Treasures of the Emperor into the keyhole, you only need to
With a slight press, eight locks open at the same time, and the door is considered open.
The current door was made by the undead people. The craftsmanship is much different. The door is not big enough and is made of stone. But I think the internal structure should be similar to the Emperor's Eight Treasures Mechanical Door. The eight grooves on the door are the seals.
Seal's keyhole.
It's almost impossible to destroy this kind of door with violence. What kind of hammer can you use to open a door that is about as thick as a city wall? Let alone a hammer. Even if I give you a bomb, if you don't know how to blast, it won't be able to blow it open!
To break this kind of door, the method is very simple, that is to forge the seal!
Experts have broken into this kind of door before. They first illuminated the keyhole with a light to observe the texture inside, then carved eight fake seals out of wood, and opened the door easily.
"This... our brothers don't have such skills!"
After hearing this, Lao Bai was dumbfounded, spread his hands and said directly: "You can't just wait here like a fool, can you?"
Isn’t that what you’re talking about?
Breaking this kind of door requires skill and skills. I understand the principle of this door, but I can't break it open either!!
"It seems that we can only make some attempts. It is better than doing nothing."
I sighed in my heart, there was really nothing I could do, so I simply sat down cross-legged in front of the stone door, as if thinking about it while facing the wall, and shouted softly at the stone door: "Snow?"
Naturally there will be no response from inside.
Lao Bai was dumbfounded and couldn't help but said to the side: "As you said, this door is so thick that we can't hear anything inside. It's like you are whispering. How can we hear it inside?
!”
I ignored him and said as if talking to myself: "I once heard someone say that when a lonely ghost willingly lingers in one place for thousands of years because of obsession, then this place is actually her destination.
, she is inseparable from this place, her temperament is reflected in every plant and tree, and she can feel the slightest change, let alone a big living person running in, talking like a maniac?
So, you can actually hear me, right?
You may not believe it, but in fact I know you very well. Although we have never met each other, I know that you are lonely, right? Holding the cold body of your lover every day must not be a good feeling, right?
This person, losing his temper is actually a very scary thing, and he will go to extremes, but it happens that he has anger, which is also a very scary thing, because he will make fools. Do you think it is a contradiction or not?
This is probably the most appropriate thing to say to you, right?!
It's just because you have a little bit of courage that you can persist for so long.
However, you must already know that Queen Xin is finished. There is no need to deceive yourself. I know you can definitely feel that if she says a word in the tower, you can hear it outside. There should be some kind of connection between you.
Right? After all, they have been companions for thousands of years, so there must be some connection between them.
Once she dies, what else can you expect? From now on, you are really the only one left in this world. It’s time to despair. What’s the point of continuing to exist? Why don’t we open the door and we can end this cause and effect that has lasted for thousands of years?
How about it? I am the ceremonial officer, and I will end the unfinished business of my ancestors. I believe that no matter what the final result is, it will be a relief for you!"
"Crazy, this is really crazy..."
Lao Bai muttered: "What you say is like advising someone to commit suicide quickly. If it's not enough to deal with one person, open the door and let more people in to beat you. Isn't this the kind of thinking only a madman would have?"
Not to mention, to measure Xue, you really have to think like a madman!
Who in his right mind would dig up his lover's grave and steal the body back to keep him company?!
Queen Xin briefly mentioned Xue's life. I said this completely from Xue's perspective. Anyway, when I reach this point, I must be seeking a result. Life and death are no longer the same.
No matter how important it is.
Of course, I wasn't completely sure, I just tried it when I had no choice. After I finished speaking, I stared at the stone door in front of me eagerly.
Just as Lao Bai was about to say something, the stone door in front of him suddenly trembled and made a "bang" sound, followed by a series of "click-click" sounds of the machine running.
The Shimen really opened little by little!!
I immediately picked up the knife and rushed in.
Brother Yaozi was standing in front of the door, hunched over, and I could hear his gasping sound. It was cold in the stone room, and a large white mist spewed out from his mouth and nose, but he was always there.
His back was turned to me and he refused to turn around. I wanted to walk around in front of him, but every time I moved a little bit, Brother Kite immediately turned away so that I couldn't see his appearance.
I sighed in my heart, Zhang Xinya couldn't accept what happened in the past, and it was nothing but a shadow to Brother Yaozi. Maybe he didn't want us to see him like he was at this time.
However, he should be rational.
"It's exactly the same."
A cold sigh came from the front, and I finally moved my eyes away from Brother Yaozi.
Directly in front of us, in the center of the stone room, there is a large stone couch, and lying on the stone couch is a droopy old man.
I knew that this old man must be Shi Kuang. His gray hair was tied up in a bun, and he was lying there quietly. Those who didn't know it thought he was asleep.
This makes me a little surprised. Shi Kuang has died a long time ago. It seems that there are no special anti-corrosion measures here. Even if there are, a thousand-year-old corpse cannot be preserved so completely, right?
My mind was racing, thinking about this strange scene, and at the same time my eyes fell on a woman next to the stone couch.
This is indeed a very beautiful woman. She has a kind of classical beauty on her body. She has loose black hair and is dressed in white. She is sitting quietly in front of the stone couch with a sad voice. She is obviously talking to me, but she never raises her head to look at me. She has been fascinated.
He stared at the old man on the stone couch infatuatedly, his eyes so gentle that they could almost melt everything in the world.
She just looked at the old man and said calmly: "Actually, I don't like you very much. You are too similar to that person. Not only your appearance, but also your insidiousness and cunning are exactly the same. If the queen fails, it should be you who fooled her again."
What kind of conspiracy? I wonder if you are equal to him in terms of cruelty? The princess once loved him so much, and the prince once trusted him so much, but when he pushed them onto the ship and buried them alive, he didn't blink an eye.
For a moment, I don’t know if you will be able to reach this point one day in the future and treat the people around you like this?
However, although I don't like people like you, you are right in what you said. My last hope has been extinguished by you. I am so heartbroken that I want to find a result. At least... I will keep you as a courtesy official for my sake.
The whole city has been buried with clansmen, which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish."
When she said these words, she was naturally scolding me. I stepped forward, but before I could say anything, Brother Yaozi, who was standing in front of me, suddenly stretched out his arm to stop me.
Brother Yaozi's hands were as skinny as firewood, and his skin showed a strange black-blue color. His nails were extremely long, really like the claws of a rice dumpling. He still didn't look back, but he slightly arched his body and raised his head, staring behind Xue.
, as if on guard against something.
However, there was nothing behind Xue, except for some bookshelves with bamboo slips on them. I didn't see anything wrong at all.
At this time, Xue spoke again: "There is another sentence, what you said is quite interesting. People are afraid of being angry because they will do stupid things. Just like me, I have been running for thousands of years, and once it comes to nothing, think about it.
It's really stupid. I worked so hard for something unreliable, but now I have no courage. I dare to do some things that I didn't dare to do before. I can't help it. You forced me to do it. Who asked me to patronize it?
In order to do things for the Queen, you missed the mark and couldn't defeat the corpse next to you? In the end, you can only release things that shouldn't be released."
After she finished speaking, she said nothing more, but her slender fingers tapped on the stone bed three times, and her other hand did not know what to do under the bed.
Rumble!
A deafening roar came out of the stone room without warning, and the ground began to tremble. The ground behind Xue opened up little by little, revealing a dark passage...
Silently, two red dots emerged...
It was a pair of huge scarlet eyes, like a devil crawling out of the abyss, peeping at everything in the world...
Chapter completed!
