Chapter 512
"Ah Zu, look, there's a strange bird there!" Pei mianman pointed to a place in the middle of the stone gate, "maybe the door opening mechanism is here."
In fact, Zuan also noticed that there is a strange bird pattern in the middle of the stone gate, which is full of red. It looks like a Phoenix, not a Phoenix, or a peacock, not a peacock.
It even looks like his Summoner "Baiming".
Zuan's heart moved, and he quickly summoned Baiming, directing him to approach the strange bird pattern. Unfortunately, no matter how he flew or sang around, there was still no response on the stone gate.
However, as the sound waves of Bai Ming spread, the red light in the eyes of the skeleton warrior kneeling beside the steps not far away gradually faded. It's a pity that this scene was not seen by the two of Zuan.
"It didn't work?" Zuan frowned and was disappointed.
He suddenly remembered the records about the Shang Dynasty in the previous documentaries. The ancestors of the Shang Dynasty were called Qi, "there was Jiandi, the daughter of the surname Yi, who ate the eggs of Xuanniao and gave birth to Qi". So the Shang Dynasty regarded Xuanniao as a totem. Presumably, this bird was their totem Xuanniao. What did the Xuanniao represent here?
While he was meditating, Pei mianman suddenly found something new: "Gee, the bird's pattern is a little strange. The stones around it seem to be movable, and there seems to be some lattice in the middle of the bird."
In a daze, Zu an quickly fixed his eyes and found that there were two horizontal and two vertical patterns on the pattern, which divided the whole pattern into nine small squares.
At the same time, there was a circle of strange symbols around. Pei mianman tried. The small squares with strange symbols could slide into the nine small squares in the middle.
"One, two, three..." Pei mianman counted and said in surprise, "there are exactly nine numbers engraved with symbols. It seems that you can open the door by putting these squares in the corresponding positions."
"That's right, Manman. You've observed it very carefully." Zuan came to the door and looked at the nine stones around him. He really thought too much before and went astray. On the contrary, he was not as pure as Pei mianman. That's why he found these clues. "But what do these symbols mean? Have you seen them before?"
"No Pei mianman shook his head and thought about what he had learned. "I've never seen this kind of symbol in any ethnic literature. The style of these symbols is similar to the two words on the stone tablet before."
"Is it?" Zuan was stunned and hurried to check again. Now she reminded her to look at these strange patterns.
Since it has something to do with oracle bone inscriptions, these nine numbers, plus these nine squares, make it easy for him to think of the mysterious Hetu Luoshu in Chinese history. There is a famous rhyme: "Dai jiulu 1, Zuo Sanyou 7, er 4 as shoulder, Liu 8 as foot, and Wu Ju among them."
That is to say, the sum of these numbers in each row and column is 15.
It's very easy to fill in these numbers. Anyone who has a little mathematical knowledge can do it. But the problem is that the surrounding squares are not the same as the numbers he is familiar with. He can't tell which pattern corresponds to which number.
Among them, four patterns are relatively easy to recognize, namely "one horizontal line", "two horizontal lines", "three horizontal lines" and "four horizontal lines", which should correspond to "one two three four".
But the other ones are hard to recognize. For example, there is a symbol like a trident with a curved tail, a symbol like a "herringbone" roof, a symbol with an "X" in the middle, a horizontal seal at the top and bottom, like a folding stool or a spring bed like marioli, and a symbol with a "("), like a pair of brackets for changing order.
The strangest thing is another symbol, a cross.
Zuan subconsciously thought it was a "ten", but on second thought, he overturned it. After all, there was no number of 10 in Jiugong grid.
He was full of regret. If he had seen more Oracle documentaries, he might have known these words.
I don't know how those archaeologists knew these ghost symbols.
Wait
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He remembered that in previous documentaries, Chinese culture came down in one continuous line because people thousands of years later could understand the words written by their ancestors thousands of years ago.
The reason why we know it is mainly because characters have evolved from generation to generation.
Later characters mainly evolved from Xiaozhuan in Qin Dynasty, and Xiaozhuan also has some shadow of oracle bone inscriptions.
In this case, the inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells should be related to the characters of later generations. For example, if we know that these inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells represent the numbers of 1-9, we can find some clues slowly.
He looked at the Trident with its curved tail, and his head kept turning, looking at it from all angles.
All of a sudden, he found that the head of the Trident was pulled down to make the Trident flat. It was just the left half of "Nine". The curved tail behind the Trident was just the hook on the right side of "Nine".
Isn't that pair of reverse brackets similar to the shape of "eight"?
Eh, if this is eight, what's the "human" shape? It's also very similar to eight? Is it two points below six?Then there are only five and seven left. The "cross" symbol doesn't match "Five" in any way.
So is the symbol of spring bed five?
In his mind, he tried to twist the "X" between the two sides of the spring bed, as if it could really become the shape of "Five".
Then "ten" is seven, and the gap between the two is one more hook.
Zuan checked again and found that although his reasoning was logical, it was not without loopholes. For example, if the four horizontal lines did not represent four, many of the following reasoning would be wrong. Even the eight and six lines, he was not sure whether he got them right.
He was just about to verify it again, but there was a roar of "whimpering" not far away. It was obvious that those Taotie had caught up after eating the corpses of their companions.
"AZU, what should we do?" Pei mianman looked at the looming Taotie in the thick fog, his hands curled around the black inflammation, and was obviously ready to enter the battle.
It's just that there are so many gluttonous people, most of them are in bad luck.
Zuan didn't have time to think about it any more. He moved the characters to the corresponding positions according to the inference.
The door is exquisitely designed, and the grid drawn by two horizontal and vertical lines has a groove to lead the surrounding character blocks to slide in it.
When he slid the last character in, a golden light shone on the nine characters, and then the golden light extended to fill the gap between the two doors, and then surrounded the two doors with golden light along the outline of the upper and lower sides.

the sound of the gear box came from inside, and then the two doors opened slowly.
Pei mianman looked at Zuan in shock: "AZU, I really admire you more and more now. How can I even crack such a difficult mechanism?"
She always boasts that she is smart, but just looking at those strange patterns, she has no clue.
"Ha ha, you will know that there are many powerful places in me in the future." Although Zuan's tone was very proud, he was still ashamed in his heart. The reason why he was able to solve this mechanism was that he took advantage of the passer-by. If he didn't have the knowledge of his previous life, he couldn't think of it.
"Smelly beauty ~" Pei mianman's eyes flow, thinking that Chuyan doesn't know why he can see his extraordinary in advance, but now she has no time to think about it. She pulls Zuan and runs to the stone gate, "Taotie is catching up, let's go first!"
After they ran into the gate, they subconsciously wanted to lock the stone gate again and shut Taotie out of the gate. Unfortunately, they all worked hard to close the stone gate.
Now the time is urgent, they have no chance to find the closed mechanism, Zuan had to pull Pei mianman to escape.
"Whimper, whimper!" A head of gluttonous howl came to the steps and was about to rush into the stone door when a cold light flashed by and its body froze instantly.
Next to the tall and burly skeleton warrior stood up slowly from the ground, a drop of blood slowly dropped from the hands of the Long Ge to the ground, making a light sound.
Then the frozen Taotie's body trembled, and his huge head slowly slipped down from his neck.
