Empty tomb?

Is this an empty tomb?

Why did Li Chunfeng build an empty tomb here?

Hu Xiuwu couldn’t figure it out.

However, the most important thing now is not to figure out Li Chunfeng's purpose.

The most important thing now is to find a way out.

Looking around, I saw the most conspicuous and strange thing in the tomb.

It must be the armillary sphere in the middle, which was modified by Li Chunfeng.

Hu Bayi also thought of this and was looking around the armillary sphere. However, due to the lack of clues, he had no clue yet.

When Hu Xiuwu also came to the armillary sphere, the two brothers exchanged clues.

After listening to Hu Xiuwu’s story, Hu Bayi guessed:

"Since this was set up by Li Chunfeng, does the mechanism here require us to adjust the armillary sphere to the celestial branch calendar that is very important to Li Chunfeng?"

Da Jinya was familiar with ancient books, and after hearing what Hu Bayi said, he had an idea:

"If we follow what Mr. Hu said, it should be the seventh year of Zhenguan. In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng transformed the armillary sphere, which is very similar to our situation."

Hu Bayi said: "It may also be that Li Chunfeng was granted the title of Taishi in the 22nd year of Zhenguan. That was his most prosperous year."

Da Jinya categorically rejected this view: "No, it can't be the 22nd year of Zhenguan. Master Hu, look at that mural."

Da Jinya pointed at a mural surrounding it. Hu Bayi did not have Hu Xiuwu's night eyes, so he needed to use a flashlight to illuminate it.

In the painting, Li Chunfeng wears a futou, black leather Liuhe boots, a dark green round-necked robe, a silver belt and a fish bag.

"During the Zhenguan period, the fifth-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty should wear light crimson official uniforms with gold belts, but Li Chunfeng in the mural is wearing dark green official uniforms with silver belts. This is the costume of the sixth-rank officials."

"So, when Li Chunfeng came here, he had not yet been granted the title of Taishi Ling. It could not have been the 22nd year of Zhenguan."

"Best regards, Mr. Jin!"

Hu Bayi raised his hand to the big gold tooth and admired the historical knowledge accumulated by the big gold tooth.

Although Da Jinya is usually a bit timid and in poor health,

But on a spiritual level, he is truly a giant, erudite and knowledgeable, and proficient in historical allusions. His years of hard work in the antiques industry are worth it.

Wang Kaixuan was stunned as he listened: "Then what year is the year of the zodiac in the seventh year of Zhenguan?"

"Guisi!"

Before he could finish counting where the big golden tooth was, Hu Xiuwu had already given the answer.

Hu Ba was overjoyed: "Ha, I almost forgot, brother, you used to be a Taoist priest. Who can calculate the year of the zodiac as accurately as you?"

When they were in the mountains, the Shangqing sect often used the chronological system to calculate time. Hu Xiuwu was already used to converting the chronological system to the chronological system.

"Fat man, help me take care of it!"

Hu Bayi called Wang Kaixuan for help, and he began to turn the four rings inside the armillary sphere, turning it to the scale of the heavenly stems and earthly branches on the sextant.

As soon as Hu Ba finished turning, he stood vigilantly, looking after each other with Wang Kaixuan, guarding the big gold tooth next to him, waiting for the mechanism to be activated.

However, nothing happened.

No secret door appeared, and no rolling stones or arrows were shot out.

Wang Kaixuan blinked: "Lao Hu, did you and Lao Jin miscalculate? There is no movement at all."

Hu Bayi was also a little confused about the situation. Could it be that he and Da Jinya guessed wrong?

······

No, it's not that there were no changes at all, after Hu Bayi pushed the Siyouhuan to Guisi's position.

Hu Xiuwu, who was originally very relaxed, involuntarily tightened his muscles, and goose bumps and hairs stood up on his body.

Just like a young tiger forced to leave its nest, everything around it has not changed, but there is a sense of freshness and danger hidden inside.

After that moment, everything in the tomb changed in Hu Xiuwu's perception.

A detached change.

The sealed heart elixir and lung god Haohua were inexplicably restless.

Looking at the armillary sphere, Hu Xiuwu was filled with confusion.

What happened?

In the tomb, there was no sun or stars, and the big gold tooth watch was broken.

Judging from Wang Kaixuan's belly, everyone guessed that an hour had passed.

Hu Bayi turned the armillary sphere again, but there was still no change in the surroundings. As soon as he let go, the four-wheel circle automatically returned to the Guisi position.

There was no change in the empty tomb, and there was no exit. Everyone was a little discouraged.

Hu Bayi did not give up yet and walked around the tomb, looking for clues.

Wang Kaixuan released the goose from the wooden basket, stroked its feathers and said:

"Master Goose, Master Goose, I didn't expect us brothers to die together. I promised to find you a wife, but it seems I'm going to break my promise."

After touching it, the goose actually laid an egg in Wang Kaixuan's arms.

"Oh, Mr. Goose, it turns out you are a hero. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Da Jinya said feebly: "Master Kai, at this critical moment, you are still in the mood to amuse me."

Laying an egg? That's not right. Hu Xiuwu, who was standing by, subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Previously, the Shangqing Sect also raised a group of geese on the mountain. They were the treasures of the chef brother, and they were the dominant geese on the mountain. Sometimes, the geese would sneak into the vegetable garden to steal vegetables.

When A Tong first went up the mountain, he didn't understand the situation and even had a fight with those big geese.

However, those geese are not all useless. Sometimes when the goose lays eggs, the senior brother in the kitchen will bring them to stir-fry and improve the food.

'I remember, don't geese only lay eggs in spring?'

It's already summer vacation, why is it laying eggs at this time?

On a whim, Hu Xiuwu looked up at the starry sky map on the top of the tomb.

I found that the handle of the Big Dipper is now pointing exactly in the direction of the underground flying dragon statue.

The flying dragon was shocked.

Yi said: The emperor came out of Zhen. The Zhen Gua is in the east.

As the old saying goes: If the handle of the bucket points to the east, spring will come all over the world!

This discovery made Hu Xiuwu stand up suddenly.

Looking around, he knew what felt wrong.

The location of the tomb, temperature, and humidity have all undergone subtle changes.

Before they came in, it was summer outside,

Although the tomb was buried deep underground, Hu Xiuwu could still feel a hint of heat.

But now, he can only feel the energy of all things sprouting.

Hu Xiuwu dug into his pocket, took out a few coins, counted six coins and put them in his hand.

The word is yang and the flower is yin. He will use the change to start the six-line money lesson.

As a disciple of Wu Dechang, a great sorcerer of the generation,

Although Hu Xiuwu did not follow his master to study magic, he could still do simple divination.

Moreover, this time he wanted to calculate very simply,

It doesn’t count in the past, it doesn’t count in the future, it doesn’t count in marriage, it doesn’t count in the future.

He counts it as the current time.

What year and month is it at this moment?

Hu Xiuwu shook the six coins in his hand a few times, then threw them on the ground.

Yin and yin and yang, yin and yang; thunder above and thunder below.

Jie Gua: Lei Tian Dazhuang Gua,

Thunder in the sky stings and all things sprout. This is the hexagram of February.

Hu Xiuwu had already made a guess in his mind, so he was not too surprised when faced with this result.

Hu Xiuwu took a deep breath and picked up the change.

Shake again, this time it counts the year.

Six pieces of change collided in his hand, making a clattering sound, as if a heavenly secret collided in his hand.

The change fell from his hand, bouncing and spinning on the ground, giving the final revelation.

Hu Xiuwu looked at the hexagram and was speechless, feeling that it was unexpected but reasonable.

The hexagram is very simple and is a year that has been seen many times today:

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Guisi.

The armillary sphere is in the center of the tomb,

Thousands of years of time, standing still.
