Chapter 93 8 Doors

Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the stone stele to the north of the stone chamber in confusion. This stele was about two meters high and about one meter wide. It was densely engraved with characters. The font was the official script commonly used in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

The official script is 70% similar to modern traditional Chinese characters. Even Wang Xinran can understand it, and naturally Wu Zhongyuan can also understand it. The first sentence of the inscription is: 'I know you are coming, and I have prepared a return gift. Go in and get it. ’

After reading this sentence, Wu Zhongyuan frowned in confusion. He was confused not because he didn't understand what this sentence meant, but because he couldn't figure out why Zuo Ci used the word "return gift". Return gift usually refers to a gift given in return after accepting a gift from others, and they didn't. Giving a gift to Zuo Ci, what kind of gift did Zuo Ci give in return?

However, the sentence itself is very colloquial, which is consistent with Zuo Ci's bohemian character. Modern people generally have misunderstandings about the language habits of the ancients. They all think that the ancients spoke all in Zhihue. In fact, this is not the case. Zhihue also belongs to Mandarin and was spoken by the upper class. Ordinary people usually speak very casually and do not mince words.

Looking further down, the inscription reads, "Beauty doesn't know who you are, but I do. Unfortunately, my deadline is approaching. I can't wait for you to come, and I can't talk to you about the past and the present, and it's really a pity." Well, fortunately, I have an extraordinary mind, and I came up with a good idea in a flash. I can talk with you across the Yin and Yang distance. There are eight gates of Dunjia going forward, and each gate has its own mechanism changes. It will test your aura talent and your character. Virtue, if I win a round, there will be a gift; if I win a round, there will be a small punishment. Well, I almost forgot to describe my life. I am Mr. Wujiao Zuo Ci, also known as Zuo Xianren. I am not a thing in the pond, but I stand to understand the way of heaven, cultivate my divine power without confusion, understand the joys and sorrows of the world, and feel the happiness of the people. Anger, sorrow and joy, set foot in the *, travel around the world, drink wine to the princes during the day, linger in the gentle boudoir at night...'

The following words are all Zuo Ci bragging. It seems inaccurate to say that he is bragging. It should be said that Wang Po sells melons. When did he drink with which emperor? When did he play chess with which immortal? He also said Lu Bu once asked him to be his military advisor, Da Qiao once winked at him, and said that Kong Ming asked him for advice on Qi Men Dun Jia, Cao Cao asked him to deduce the fate of the country, and so on.

While Wu Zhongyuan was checking the words on the stone tablet, Wang Xinran and others were also doing the same thing. After reading the words on the stone tablet, the four people's expressions were surprisingly similar, and they all frowned in embarrassment.

The four of them were not actually embarrassed, they were embarrassed for Zuo Ci. How shameless it was to leave such a message.

Wang Xinran spoke first, "Haha, now I know why so many people want to kill him."

Wu Zhongyuan also replied with a hehe, Zuo Ci likes to tease people, and the higher he is in a high position, a man who is usually serious and serious, the more he likes to make others look embarrassed. The more pretentious and pretentious a woman is on weekdays, the more he likes to embarrass the other person. In today's terms, this is a serious form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. When he sees someone pretending to be coquettish, he will run over and slap her in the face. He is such a fearless person. old angry youth.

Nowadays, there is a saying that if you have money, you will be willful. This old angry young man is willful if he has the ability. He relies on his own magic skills. He is lawless and wanton. He can do whatever he wants. Moreover, this person is very curious and likes to observe. Sometimes others observe openly, sometimes they peep shamelessly. The stone statue of the concubine outside is undoubtedly the scene that this person secretly peeped and recorded.

Wang Xinran tried to contact the headquarters to obtain more historical information about this person, but he was in an underwater stone chamber and his mobile phone had no signal.

In the next five minutes, the four of them were silent. They were probably all thinking about the same question, which was that Zuo Ci's character might cause something evil in the subsequent eight passes. Zhao Ying was the first to go in. What kind of experience will others have?

The silence was broken by Wang Xinran, who pointed to the stone tablet and asked Wu Zhongyuan, "Does the 'you' above refer to you?"

"If the 'beauty' on the stone tablet refers to the female warrior, then he is talking about me." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Why did he say that the beauty doesn't know who you are, but he does?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the call, this problem was also bothering him.

Wang Xinran asked again, "Why does he want to talk to you about the past and the present? He seems to be very curious about you. Even if he is dead, he still wants to compete with you."

Wu Zhongyuan slowly shook his head.

"The person who came to see you doesn't know who you are, but he knows who you are? What kind of logic is this?" Wang Xinran said to herself. The reason why she said she was talking to herself rather than asking questions was because she knew very well. Wu Zhongyuan definitely cannot answer this question.

As expected, Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the call.

Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion, "Who are you?"

"I don't know," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I will never know who I am if I don't go back."

Unable to figure out the reason, Wang Xinran could only give up, put the diving equipment aside, took out the pistol and checked*, "Do you know Qimen Dunjia?"

"I heard Master say that knowing a little bit doesn't count as proficiency." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What kind of magic is Qi Men Dun Jia?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan recalled for a moment, and then said, "Qi Men Dun Jia is not a magic, but a method of divination and prediction. Qi refers to the three strange things, which are Bing, Yi, and Ding, and the gate refers to the eight gates of life, death, rest, scene, etc., corresponding to There are eight directions: southeast, northwest, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. Dunjia means to push the shadow of Liujia and hide. To put it bluntly, it means to achieve the purpose of pursuing good luck and avoiding bad luck by predicting the future."

Although Wu Zhongyuan tried to be straightforward in his speech, Wang Xinran still seemed to understand. But Wu Zhongyuan did not explain anymore. What he just said was the most straightforward and simple. In fact, Qimen Dunjia is very complicated, even more difficult to understand than calculus.

Wang Xinran didn't ask any more questions, walked around the stone monument, came to the left side of the half-open stone door, and looked in.

Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui also walked over, living on the left and right sides of Shimen. Both of them had pistols in their hands. Although Lu Jiahui's specialty is underwater archeology, since she works in the 18th Branch, she can also use guns.

Through the gap in the stone door, you can see that inside is a stone chamber similar to the one where the four people are located. There is light inside, and it is the same pale green light as outside.

On the floor of the stone chamber, there seemed to be some metal objects scattered around. The shapes were rather strange. They were not weapons or living utensils, but rather looked like fragments of armor.

There is also a stone door to the north of the stone chamber, but that stone door is closed at this time.

"Are they inside?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"It should be there," Wang Xinran loaded the gun, "cover your ears."

"What do you want to do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Tell her I'm coming." After Wang Xinran said that, he fired.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect that she would shoot right away. He didn't have time to cover his ears. The stone chamber was relatively airtight, and the echo made him confused.

After the shooting, Wang Xinran pushed the stone door and entered the stone chamber inside. He looked around to make sure there was no one there. There was nothing in the stone chamber except armor fragments scattered on the ground.

Wu Zhongyuan was the second to enter. After entering, he bent down and picked up a piece of metal. This thing did look like a part of armor. Judging from the color, it should be made of copper. It has been affected by moisture for many years, and the surface has a faint green tint.

The main body of the armor is scattered in the lower right corner of the stone room. If you look closely, you will find that it is not a set of armor, but a humanoid object covered with armor. Since the armor on the surface is partially peeled off, you can vaguely see that there appear to be many metal parts inside. .

"Robot?!" This was the first thing that came to Wu Zhongyuan's mind.

I walked over with doubts and took a closer look. It turned out to be a robot. There were many metal parts in it. However, compared with modern precision parts, these parts seemed very crude and superficial. There were no complicated circuits inside, just a lot of them. There are gears of different sizes. The working principle of this thing should be similar to that of a clock. It is probably wound.

Seeing the internal structure of the robot, Wu Zhongyuan was no longer surprised. This robot was not a real robot, but a mechanical tool similar to a wooden cow and a flowing horse.

While Wu Zhongyuan was inspecting the crude robot, Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai picked up some bullet casings from the floor of the stone room. There were more than 20 bullet casings of the same model.

These twenty dozen shots were the reason why the robot fell apart. Judging from the internal structure of the robot and the fact that no weapons were found on the ground, it seemed that the robot did not have the ability to attack.

"Have you seen anything similar before?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Lu Jiahui.

Lu Jiahui was inspecting the bottom of the stone door at this time to determine if there was a hidden stone on the top of the door. When she heard Wu Zhongyuan's question, she raised her head and said, "Similar things are not uncommon in archaeological excavations, but there has never been anything like this made entirely of metal. Excavated records.”

"Can you confirm the purpose of this thing?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I'll try my best." Lu Jiahui walked over and knelt down to examine it carefully.

At this time, Wang Xinran was trying to push open the second stone door. The stone door was very heavy, but he could barely push it.

"Don't move forward in a hurry, first understand the situation here." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"This place has been destroyed by them, is there any need to stay?" Wang Xinran said.

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "This stone chamber should be the first of the eight gates, the Shengmen. The five elements of the Shengmen belong to gold, and here happens to be a copper doll. I want to find out the identity of this copper doll. The real purpose..."
