National treasure

Li Cha Yi named Cheng Ling Tanlu again, precisely because when Zhong Zhe was asked to throw himself into the trap, among the people who came with him, he recognized this at the first sight. Find out guys.

The more you can't find out the details, the more dangerous this person is, and he is a nail that must be removed as soon as possible.It's not the last moment yet, Zhong Zhe is still needed, and he can't completely tear his face.

So Li Cha Yi is not in a hurry to kill Cheng Ling immediately, but this does not prevent him from using him as a pawn to explore the way, just to make the best use of what he has, and to reconcile with him later on when he was in the mouth of a tiger in France account.

Zhong Zhe clasped his fingers tightly, shook his head involuntarily and looked at Cheng Ling, Cheng Ling nodded slightly back, and even licked the corners of his mouth at him, "When Shinto decided to stand on the stone platform and continue to investigate, weren't you so determined?" Very, why hesitate now?

Great expert, trust your own judgment, you are not only impressive with your worth and appearance. "

Zhong Zhe was stunned, almost tongue-tied, this person was able to tease him at this moment, and even the second half of his tone was too serious, making him unable to tell whether Cheng Ling really had some truth in it.

Zhang Yu also wanted to run to the front to replace Cheng Ling, but was blocked by Li Cha Yi's men with guns. Seeing that Cheng Ling made a stop gesture to him, he could only watch as the core of the team went to take risks. .

Regardless of personal feelings, Cheng Ling is irreplaceable even purely for missions.Both Zhong Zhe and Zhang Yu are very clear about this, and so is Li Cha Yi.

Although Cheng Ling was the one who went up the stairs, the real test of how to walk and how to avoid the mechanism mostly fell on Zhong Zhe.

This first step has not yet been taken, but there is already a problem. On both sides of the nine-level high-level step where the giant tripod is placed, there are narrow ladders for upward passage, which means that both sides can go up and down, or there is a fixed procedure. , the priest can only go up from one side and down from the other side.

If the order is wrong, God knows what mechanism will be left behind.

At this moment, the ever-burning lamps on the narrow ladders on both sides were lit, showing an irregular curve all the way to the top.It's just that on the bottom stone steps on the left and right, many oil lamps were smashed by the stone cones that fell before, and they still haven't lighted up yet.A few lights are missing, and the original pattern can no longer be seen clearly, but generally speaking, the light lines on both sides of the narrow ladder should be arranged symmetrically.

Uncle Gao also saw the checkpoints on the stone ladder, and after obtaining Li Cha Yi's consent, he approached Zhong Zhe and Cheng Ling and said, "There is a way of saying 'wen left and Wu right', and it should be able to go up and down on both sides."

Zhong Zhe didn't respond immediately, Cheng Ling watched him walk back and forth to the narrow stairs on the left and right.

Returning to the two of them, Zhong Zhe said with a solemn face: "Uncle Gao and I rarely disagree. I think it should be left up and right down. The reason is that the reason why the lights on the stairs look zigzag is because it is Arranged according to the direction of Yu's steps.

If both sides can go up and down, then the placement curve of the long light should be in the same direction, left twist is left twist, right fold is right fold, but now the two sides are left and right symmetrical, so I deduce that it is the reverse step when the left is up and then the right is down. Seven stars, this will present a symmetrical appearance. "

Uncle Gao hummed, and proposed: "The arrangement of these lights is clearly compared to the Big Dipper, so I agree with your Yubu deduction. But I still reserve my opinion. The possibility of civil and military walking symmetrically is not exclude."

Zhong Zhe let out a long breath, "This is indeed the most difficult part in my opinion. This possibility cannot be completely ruled out, but the possibility can only be said to be much smaller."

Cheng Ling decided to find out everything, he first asked: "Yu step is a kind of step?"

Zhong Zhe nodded, pointed to the high platform, and explained: "The lights on the narrow ladders on both sides are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. Every nine steps, that is, the distance of a high step in the middle, is just enough to complete a complete set of steps. Yu step.

If you look carefully at the zigzag arrangement of nine long lights next to the second high step, it just guides a complete nine-step walk.

Although there are only seven stars in the distribution of the Big Dipper, it takes nine steps to completely simulate this figure, so the full name of Yubu is Yubu Nine Stars Method.According to legend, this gait was created by Dayu. Uncle Gao once said before that Yu was a descendant of the Gonggong clan, and the adoption of the gait created by him in the sacrificial hall was in line with the builder's cognition. "

Uncle Gao said, "The extreme number nine is everywhere on this ladder, which symbolizes the destiny of the Ninety-Five Supreme China Kyushu. Every step of Yubu has an extended meaning, representing the eight trigrams of dry, kan, gen, There are nine directions: Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui and Zhonggong. At the same time, each direction you walk symbolizes stepping on one of Kyushu.

Therefore, no matter which side you are on, once you step on the Yu step, you must ensure that every direction is accurate.As the saying goes, "If you don't step on the Kyushu soldiers, you have to step on the Kyushu soldiers."Getting it wrong can be fatal. "

Cheng Ling saw that Zhong Zhe's solemn face had not let go from the beginning of the conversation, and his brows were almost frowning. Seeing that he was about to turn around and speak to Li Cha Yi after hearing Uncle Gao's words, Cheng Ling reached out his hand to stop him.

"You know he won't agree, and I won't agree to this situation either. Neither you nor Uncle Gao can make mistakes."

Zhong Zhe only felt that Cheng Ling's gaze looking at him was like a deep pool of water, under the clear and calm, there was an invisible whirlpool that involved him.

Cheng Ling said to him in an almost irresistible voice: "Zhong Zhe, teach me."

The two quickly started teaching, one demonstrating and the other learning, and Uncle Gao also helped to correct them.

Yubu is not a very difficult step to learn, not to mention that walking on the stairs requires accurate stepping, and there is no need to master the complicated postures that are used in other occasions to cooperate with Yubu.

Getting your steps right is success.Zhong Zhe was concentrating on teaching, and Cheng Ling was studying hard, and soon he was able to walk forward without missing a step.

At this time, the previously unresolved question was brought up again, whether it is left up and right down, or both up and down.

If it is really "civil left and military right", then two people are required to go up the ladder, the person on the left symbolizes the civil official, and the person on the right symbolizes the military officer.

Zhong Zhe and Uncle Gao discussed for a while, but they still couldn't come to a definite conclusion. Seeing Li Cha Yi looking over impatiently, Cheng Ling reminded: "Time is running out."

Unable to decide, the two looked at each other, and Zhong Zhe had no choice but to turn to Cheng Ling, "You choose, you are the one who will go up, and you have heard our discussion."

"I choose your opinion." Cheng Ling's answer was almost without a pause.

Zhong Zhe said very seriously: "Don't forget your words, you must not let your emotions affect your rational judgment."

Cheng Ling had a cold face, his overly serious expression made his expression indifferent, and his lines were as hard as stone carvings, "You are an expert selected by your superiors, and you are an expert whose opinions you can unconditionally trust in the mission. This is when I received the order According to the clear instructions given by my superiors, I choose to obey the organizational arrangements unconditionally."

Zhong Zhe was speechless, paused for a while, and then remembered to remind, "If this is the case, you need to step on Qixing backwards when you get down, that is, reverse Yu's step. Let's practice again."

After memorizing the steps again, just as Cheng Ling was about to step forward, Li Cha Yirang, who had been secretly observing the three of them, handed Cheng Ling two paint pens.

"Remember to mark all the way up, don't think about playing tricks, think about your subordinates, I will let them go ahead later."

Zhong Zhe was furious, this green-eyed rat was indeed treacherous, not only did he need someone to help him find the way, but he also wanted someone to guarantee him a way out so that he could go up there in person and safely, and even used actions to achieve his goal The lives of the group members threatened Cheng Ling.

Zhong Zhe hated it so much that he almost had to trigger a mechanism to let Li Cha Yi have a taste of it.

Cheng Ling nodded expressionlessly, turned around and walked towards the towering altar under the nervous gaze of everyone.

Zhong Zhe followed behind him, and when he walked past the nine huge bronze cauldrons, the tiny mortals felt strongly that the immeasurable grandeur seemed to be substantively oppressed under the mountains of the cauldrons.

Without squinting, Cheng Ling walked straight to the narrow steps on the left. Two members of the team had already stepped forward to help and dragged the previous corpse away.

He looked up to the top of the high platform, where the real face was still hazy.Cheng Ling turned around, looked at Zhong Zhe quietly, and signaled him to stop.

At this moment, both of them could not say a word, they just stared at each other calmly for a moment.

Cheng Ling finally turned around.

The blood still remained on the initial steps, and now he was going to re-walk the narrow steps that no one had stepped on for hundreds of years, until he reached the highest point of the altar that had always been hidden in the veil.
