There is a big tablet on the top, but it is not made of wood, and there is no visible material.

There are many complicated patterns carved on the surface of the card, and there is a name in the middle, but the color is off and a little blurred, and the font is in oracle bone script.

He had specially studied the translation of these words, but he was not sure, similar to 'Shang' and 'Chen'.

There are two lines of small characters next to it, which are also oracle bone inscriptions, and they are very small. He can't go up or take down the sign, so he still doesn't know what is written.

He had doubts before. According to the records in the clan, the ancient clan was founded in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

Oracle bone inscriptions are recorded to be used in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the characters began to evolve due to differentiation. By the time Qin Shihuang unified the characters, they had completely departed from the original form of oracle bone inscriptions.

The development of characters in the Han Dynasty from seal script to official script has already been regarded as standard square Chinese characters.

Therefore, he was curious about the fact that a family established in the Eastern Han Dynasty used oracle bone inscriptions to engrave tablets. However, due to too many restrictions and no need to study, he did not delve into it.

Looking back on Gu Yi's identity now, it can be explained.

He walked over and took two sticks of incense, but considering that Gu Yi was said to be the boss of the ancestor of the ancient clan, he only took one stick.

After igniting and worshiping, I turned around and wanted to talk to Gu Yi separately, but I saw that the other party was pursing his lips, staring at the sign in the middle with oracle bone inscriptions, his eyes were no longer the cold and unwavering eyes of the past , but with a kind of complexity, the complexity of many emotions kneaded together.

Gu Mu suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the tablet.

He remembered that Gu Yi said that the owner he was looking for was Yin Chen, and the name on the tablet seemed to be somewhat similar, could it be Yin Chen?

When he was in doubt, Gu Yi took action.

He walked to the altar, lit a stick of incense, and bowed three times against his forehead, but instead of inserting the incense into the incense burner in front of him, he flew up with a light leap, and inserted the incense into the top stele In the cauldron in front of him, he raised his hand and turned the cauldron vigorously.

With a click, the huge stele suddenly turned automatically, and then slowly sank.

Then I saw Gu Yi reaching out his hand to take something out of the sinking tablet, turning around and leaping back.

As he left, the tablet slowly rose again and returned to calm.

Everything happened in just a few seconds, and Gu Mu didn't react until the other party turned around and left the ancestral hall.

When he came back to his senses and followed him out, he saw Gu Yi standing on the side of the corridor, holding a palm-sized black box in one hand, and looking at it with a square white jade pendant in the other.

He couldn't help but walked over, his eyes fell on the black box, and asked, "This is what was just taken out of it? What is it?"

Gu Yi didn't look at him, just took out a piece of cloth from the black box and handed him the box and ancient jade together.

Gu Mu took the things, saw him spread the cloth, and stretched his neck to take a look.

There are dozens of words on it, but they are all oracle bone inscriptions. I can't understand them at all, so I simply observe the things in my hand.

The white jade is very transparent, it feels very moist and cool in the hand, and the body feels refreshed, as if the moisture in the whole body is instantly removed.

Even if he doesn't know how to debate jade, he still knows that this jade is definitely a good jade.

The jade is in the shape of a square, three fingers wide, with nine dragons hovering around it, and some fine engravings in the center. The lines look a bit messy, and it is impossible to tell what the pattern is.

The whole body of the box is pure black, it is not made of wood, it is cool to the touch, it looks like jade but not jade, there is nothing else inside, and it is polished very smooth.

The lock on the box is very delicate, and it is not an ordinary lock, but more like a mechanism, which looks very delicate.

He came and went to observe for a while but didn't see how to open and close.

While he was still studying the mechanisms on the box, Gu Yi had already read the words on the cloth, put the cloth away and put it in his pocket.

Seeing his actions, Gu Mu couldn't help turning his head and asked, "How is it? Did you find any clues?"

"En." Gu Yi nodded, reached for the white jade and the black box, and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

When the two went down the mountain, it happened to be in the evening. At this time, the villagers all went home to eat after work, so they happened to meet each other.

"Hey, Teacher Gu has gone up the mountain?"

"Yes, I took my cousin to the ancestral hall to worship." Gu Mu smiled modestly and nodded.

Several villagers took a peek at Xia Gu Yi.

It is true that Gu Mu is the only one who still guards here from the direct branch of the ancient people, but there are also some who have been born and experienced in the early days, and then took root outside, and it is hard to guarantee that they will have a cousin or something.

However, the older generation generally don't like these so-called cousins ​​with the ancient surname, because they think it is a kind of betrayal,

As time goes by, it will also affect people around him, so everyone is not very enthusiastic about Gu Mu, a cousin who is said to have returned from abroad.

Of course, there are also reasons for being overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum and indifference.

Photographed in Gu Yi's gas field, a group of people didn't talk too much, and went home after a few words of greeting.

As soon as he got home and closed the door, Gu Mu immediately lost his reserved and gentle way outside, and couldn't wait to ask questions.

Gu Yi asked him to find a candle to light, and then entered the study.

When Gu Mu entered the study room with a lighted candle, he found that the curtains had been pulled up, and the room was dark with no lights on.

As soon as he put the candle on the table, Gu Yi took the black box and put it fifty centimeters away from the candle, and then clamped the white jade with two wooden strips.

Grill by moving the patterned side back and forth over the candlelight.

Gu Mu saw that as soon as the white jade met the fire, a layer of film seemed to melt on it, making it clearer, like a piece of clear ice, and he could smell a strange fragrance in his nostrils.

He didn't know whether it was the illusion caused by the fire or the film, but he seemed to see the patterns on the jade come alive and walk around.

At this time, I saw Gu Yi remove the jade piece, and then stood sideways on the side of the candlelight.

I saw a cloud of faint blue shadow cast on the table from the candlelight, and the circular pattern on the jade just enlarged and cast on the center of the top of the black box.

Then there was a clicking sound, and the originally motionless black box automatically changed its shape amidst a few clicks, like a robot that disintegrated automatically, and finally disassembled six sides and put it flat to form a square flat plate.

Gu Mu was amazed. Now that he recalled Gu Yi's series of actions, he could basically guess it.

Presumably that piece of jade is the key to unlocking the secret of the black box. The pattern on it changes shape through fire and becomes a key to unlock the original form of the black box.

At this moment, I have to change my mind about the technology and wisdom of the ancients. What is such a technology in modern times, thermal induction?

Gu Yi had already put down the white jade, and was picking up a piece of wet rice paper and laying it on top of the blackboard, and then gently brushing it with a small brush.

Gu Mu saw that he was rubbing, but was there something rubbing on the slate?When he observed the black box before, all six sides were smooth.

He changed hands to pick up the piece of white jade, and found that it was still warm and cold, and the chaotic lines in the jade were gone!

More than half an hour later, Gu Yi finished rubbing and carefully peeled off the rice paper.

He leaned over to take a look and found that it was a map.

He reached out his hand to touch the black stone in surprise, and there were actually some yin and yang carvings on the surface.

"What is this? A map?"

Gu Yi hummed, and said, "The map of the organs in the tomb."

Gu Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Tomb? Family tomb? The one you came out of?"

Gu Yi said lightly, "Yes, and no. There are three floors in the tomb. The bottom floor is a sealed place, not a tomb. The rest are newly built, divided into the top and middle floors. The top floor is virtual, and the middle floor is real. It is the organ array."

"The tomb within the tomb?" Gu Mu tilted his head, his eyes widened in surprise, "That is to say, the top floor I first entered was a sham, and there is another layer below that is the mechanism array, and the third floor is where you are. ?”

How lucky he was, he fell directly from the first floor to the third floor.

"En." Gu Yi responded, and slowly rolled up the map.

Gu Mu looked at the rolled-up map, seeing that the other party was obviously planning to "enter the palace for the second time".

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you, wait a minute, I'll prepare something."

The last time he had no choice but to enter the family tomb, it was an eye-opener inside, and he admitted that he became curious about certain things.

Gu Yi nodded, "Hurry up."

"understood."

Gu Mu was afraid that he would be impatient to wait, so he simply prepared.

In fact, he didn't know what to prepare, so he prepared some water and food, clothes, ropes, knives, flashlights, medical kits and the like based on his experience last time.

The two chose to go out at night.

There are few entertainment programs for rural people, so they go to bed early and turn off the lights at about eight o'clock.

The family tomb is in the mountains, not a short distance from the village, so I drove directly to the foot of the mountain, and then entered on foot from the cave behind Crescent Lake.

This is the passage that Gu Yi broke through when he took him out of the clan tomb last time.

After entering the cave, the two followed the map to find their way.

It is true that he encountered many traps along the way, but Gu Yi seemed to be very familiar with these traps, and easily dismantled or untied them without seeing how he handled them.

Before, I was depressed that I was unlucky, I didn’t fall to the second floor but fell to the third floor, but now I’m glad I didn’t fall to the second floor, otherwise I’m afraid ten lives would not be enough.

"Are you also good at traps?" The schedule was a bit dull and dull, and Gu Mu couldn't help asking as he watched Gu Yi skillfully untie traps one by one.

"Know a thing or two." Gu Yi said lightly.

Gu Mu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this is called knowing a thing or two, is it modest, or is it modest.

He was cursing, when he heard a clicking sound, followed by a rumbling sound.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Yi's hands were off the wall and he was slowly backing away.

At this time, the soil clods on the originally flat soil wall were peeling off layer by layer, revealing the bronze color inside, and one could vaguely see something turning, a bit like a gear.

When all the soil clods are peeled off, the bronze style will be completely presented.

It was actually a bronze door about four meters high and two meters wide. There were many overlapping gears on the door, and there was a steering wheel in the middle.
