[Qin Shi Mingyue] Ghost Valley Wordless Heavenly Book Thirteen Chapters

There are three secret passages in the underground [library room] of the king's bedroom in the palace of the king of Shang, leading to the king's bedroom, Lutai, and outside the capital respectively. After reading the classics, he took the secret passage leading to the capital.

At the end of the dark passage is a karst cave with an underground river flowing through it. The chief guard, Bei Yi, put the second small copper ball given to him by King Shang into the middle of the top of the exit of the dark passage. In his eyes - "Kala...Kaka..." - the guards walked all the way, and the familiar sound of gears turning, which could no longer be familiar, sounded again.

"Look!"

A guard pointed to the underground river in front of him and said loudly.

Several guards holding light beads raised the light beads to illuminate, and everyone looked down at the dark river,

I saw the river tumbling, and something was rising from the bottom of the river,

Before the object fully surfaced, the guards had already guessed that it was a [bridge] leading to the other side of the dark river.

When the [bridge] fully surfaced, you can see that the surface of the [bridge] is covered with a thick layer of mud, and there are many white or transparent fish, shrimps and other aquariums on it. Twisting and bouncing in a panic, the guards were all attracted by the light shining from across the dark river.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, the head of the guard, Kita, stepped onto the [bridge] first, followed by the guards.

The bridge deck is full of mud, wet and slippery. Ordinary people will slip and fall if they are not careful, but they are the guards of King Shang. Even if they are injured, stepping on the mud is no different from walking on the bluestone road.

In terms of force, even the youngest among them, Wang Xu, Li Er, and Bei Chen, dozens of big men would never want to get close to them, and Wang Xu, Li Er, and Bei Chen are only sixteen or seventeen years old this year.

Passing the [bridge] quickly, a guard pointed to the carving on the stone wall of the cave and asked in surprise, "This, is this a dragon? The whole body is glowing...two dragons?"

Two dragons are carved on the stone wall of the cave.

The tail of one dragon is closely connected with the neck of the other dragon, forming a ring shape.

The dragon heads of the two dragons protrude into the ring formed by the two dragon bodies,

There is a circular groove in front of the faucet of the two dragons.

The rays of light emanate from the two dragon stone carvings, and the brilliance flows on the two dragon stone carvings like water, making the pattern formed by the two dragons carved on the stone wall somewhat similar to the Taiji diagram.

The guards all looked at the head of the guard, and the head of the guard, Bei Di, took out two pieces of jade biscuits the size of a palm from the hidden pocket of his clothes,

These are the last two [Secret Path Keys] that the King of Shang handed over to Bei Di...

Thinking of the King of Shang, Bei Yi lightly rubbed the jade bi, sighed, but immediately restrained his emotions.

The patterns on these two pieces of jade bi, which are held in the palm of the hand, are carved by two techniques: Yang engraving and incised engraving.

The patterns on the two jade biscuits are not the same, and they must be put into the matching grooves to function as keys. If the grooves are misplaced, the mechanism will start immediately, and everyone present will have only one fate: death!

You can't go wrong.

Under the light emitted by the dragon stone carving, the head of the guard, Bei Yi, carefully identified the patterns of the jade disc and the grooves of the stone carving,

After confirming several times, he took a deep breath, took a jade bi in each hand, and put the two jade bi in the groove on the stone wall at the same time.

The patterns engraved on the two jade discs completely match the textures in the two grooves.

Withdrawing his hand, Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand again, and pressed the index finger of his left hand and index finger of his right on the two dragon eyes carved in the dragon stone at the same time. step back.

Seeing that the two jade discs put into the groove turned nine times in the same direction at the same time,

The stone wall formed by the two dragon stone carvings, similar to the one where the Tai Chi picture is located, slid outwards with the sound of "rumbling", moved about three feet away, and then moved parallel to the left.

It turned out that this dragon stone carved on the stone wall was a stone gate about twelve feet high and nine feet wide.

As the stone door moved away by itself, another passage appeared in front of the guards.

The head of the guard, Bei Yi, took the lead in entering the passage, stood on the side of the passage, and asked his subordinates to enter as well. When everyone entered the passage, Bei Di stretched out his left hand and pressed it into a groove in the shape of a human hand on the passage wall. With one press, the stone door - "rumbling" - slowly closed with a sound.

At the moment when the stone gate was completely closed, the two jade discs that Bei Tie personally put into the groove of the stone gate shattered.

The shattering of the jade jade means that this stone gate cannot be opened again. If someone forcibly opens the stone gate, what awaits them is the collapse of the cave and they will be buried alive!

……

Ruins of Lutai.

As early as a few hours ago, shortly after Ji Fa ordered his followers to help Ziqi away, the soldiers had already found the entrance to the secret passage.

However, after careful investigation, Lu Shang found that the mechanism that sealed the entrance of the secret passage was very ingenious. It is not impossible to disarm the mechanism and open the secret passage door, nor is it impossible to use fire to destroy the mechanism and then forcibly pry open the secret passage door, but what will happen after opening the secret passage door? ,unpredictable.

Think about [Lutai] a fire that could not be extinguished even with "extraordinary methods" killed hundreds of soldiers...

Looking at the sealed entrance of [Deer Terrace Secret Road], even Lu Shang couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

Ji Fa, on the other hand, wanted to know where the [Deer Terrace Secret Road] leads to and what secrets it hides.

What secret does King Shang have, even if he doesn't tell others, wouldn't he tell his son?

Ji Fa arranged for a team of soldiers to guard the [Lutai Ruins], while he led the rest of the soldiers to the palace where the fighting had not subsided.

……

Zilu is the son of King Shang.

Zilu did know where the Lutai secret road leads to, and he also knew that the Shang royal family had a collection of [immemorial silk books]. Zilu has been to the underground [library room], and Zilu has also read these classics with his own hands... Unfortunately, Zilu can't understand them at all.

When the king of Shang led the [personal guards] and [the guards of the king's capital] to [Muyi] to meet Jifa's rebels, he ordered Zilu to guard the palace before leaving the palace. The news of the garrison's rebellion, the fall of the capital, and the assassination of the king of Shang at [Lutai]...Zi Lu was extremely sad and indignant.

……

Following Jifa's order, Ziqi persuaded Zilu to surrender outside the palace city, and Zilu stood on the wall of the palace city, staring at Ziqi with red eyes, bent his bow and set an arrow straight at Ziqi!If Ji Fa hadn't arranged for Ziqi's guards to be brave enough to slice open Zilu's arrow, Ziqi's head would have been pierced by Zilu's arrow!

The guard sent by Ji Fa to protect Ziqi, although he saved Ziqi by splitting an arrow shot by Zilu, but the guard himself was let go by the powerful long knife attached to Zilu's arrow. I was horrified!And Ziqi was so frightened that he sat paralyzed on the carriage.

The guard ordered the coachman to drive the carriage back to the rear of the army immediately.

Persuasion failed, only one battle, Ji Fa's army plus the defected Chaoge garrison, as well as the wizards who came with the army who were proficient in different arts, far outnumbered the [Miyagi garrison].

[Miyagi garrison] is well-equipped, surpassing Ji Fa's army and Chaoge garrison who have defected;

[Miyagi Defenders] The combat power is no less than that of the [-] elites who conquered Dongyi!

[Miyagi defenders] There are many martial arts masters, one against ten, one against dozens,

Even the shamans who are proficient in yin-yang and five-element techniques also participated in the battle against the shamans in the rebel army.

In this battle, blood flowed like a river, and the battle was so tragic that it is hard to describe...

At the end of the battle, Ji Fa's army was a little timid...

The commander of Jifa's army had to cease fighting and continued to persuade him to surrender, while Shang [Miyagi garrison] scolded Jifa's rebel army and the Chaoge garrison who had defected.

At this time, Ji Fa and the accompanying sergeants arrived, and happened to hear the words of those with deep inner strength from the Miyagi defenders scolding him severely, even the ancestors surnamed Ji scolded him one by one.

Ji Fa was so angry that his face was livid and trembling, and he ordered to kill Shang [Miyagi garrison] and everyone in the [Royal Palace]!Not one left!

"slow!"

Lu Shang stopped the messenger from delivering the order, looked directly at Ji Fa who was about to go mad, and said calmly, "Our army will surely win, so why bother to increase unnecessary casualties? Besides, if Zi Lu Ruo died, he wanted to find out I am afraid that the matter of the Lutai secret path will be even more difficult."

With [Miyagi defenders] scolding voices in his ears, Ji Fa asked word by word with difficulty: "Is there a good policy?"

Lu Shang: "After capturing the palace, can these merchants be pardoned?"

Ji Fa fell silent.

After a long time, Ji Fa finally nodded and said, "Forgive me."

Lu Shang recruited the general who led the army to fight against the Shang [Miyagi defenders], and asked which of the Shang troops standing on the [Miyagi] wall was Zilu. Then, Lu Shang locked his eyes on Zilu, and in the In the suspicious eyes of everyone around him, did Lu Shang disappear in the blink of an eye? !

The author has something to say: Note:

[Zilu]: The Zilu in this article is Wu Geng, but I found the information on the Internet: Wu Geng is called [Fufu] in the Historical Records, and then I checked some information to find out that in the Shang Dynasty, The emperor has two names, one is the day name [sacrifice name], which is the title given to the king when the descendants worship the king, and the other is the name, which is the ordinary name.

For example: Di Xin [surname Zi, first name Shou, Japanese name (sacrifice name) Di Xin], and [Zhou] is the posthumous title given to Di Xin by the king of the Zhou Dynasty after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, so Di Xin was called by later generations Do [Shang Zhou Wang].

Another example: Di Yi [surname son, first name Xian, day name (sacrifice name) Di Yi] is Di Xin's father.

There are also: Wu Yi, Geng Ding, Zu Geng, Wu Ding, Pan Geng, Nan Geng, Zu Xin, Tai Geng, Tai Jia, Zhong Ren, Tai Ding, Tian Yi, etc. These are the dates of the emperors of the Shang Dynasty. The name [sacrifice name], have you found out?There are a lot of [Geng] and [Wu] in these day names [Sacrifice Names]...

There is also a view on the Internet: Wu Geng is the Japanese name [Sacrifice Name] rather than the name of Emperor Xin's son, and [Lu Fu] is regarded as the name of Emperor Xin's son.

However, in the information I checked, the names of the emperors of the Shang Dynasty, except for one or two, have only one character, such as: Lu, Tuo, Sheng, Zhi, Xuan, Gao, Zhuang, Dan, Xian, Shou... Wait, there is only one word.

Therefore, in this article, the word "Father" in "Lu Fu" is removed, and only "Lu" is used as Wu Geng's name.
