Chapter 37 One Hexagram Governs the Three Mountains

"Can it move around now?" Wu Xingfeng felt great compassion in his heart, and the emotions of animals were more sincere than those of people. At the same time, hearing the evil art of three-eyed soul dementoring, my scalp was also numb.

The white-eyed white tiger seemed to understand what Wu Xingfeng said, and reluctantly got up and walked towards the forest, and after taking three steps, the little tiger cub followed. The crowd followed.

Two miles away, there was a higher hillside, and there was a stone cave under the hillside, and the white-eyed white tiger stopped from there, raised its head and let out a tiger roar. Turning around and walking towards the stone cave, the stone cave is not large and barely accommodates the white tiger passing through.

A moment later, an object came out of the stone cave in the mouth of the white tiger.

Everyone was puzzled, Wu Xingfeng was about to speak, when he saw the white-eyed white tiger open its mouth, the tiger's mouth opened, and a thing with the same shape as a three-eyed copper bell rolled to the ground.

Wu Xingfeng frowned and looked at Bai Jiuzhen, who looked surprised. "How can there be two three-eyed brass bells. ”

"My lord, the slave knows a legend about the three-eyed bronze bell. Ah Lian stepped forward from behind and pointed to the three-eyed bronze bell on the ground.

"Oh, let's hear it!" Wu Xingfeng beckoned to Amu, who understood, took out the three-eyed copper bell in his cloth pocket and handed it to Wu Xingfeng.

Ah Lian said: "When my father was fourteen or fifteen years old, he followed his clan to hunt in the area of Changyang Mountain, and met a bald man with a round face, who was in his fifties, tall, and wore a small pressed brim hat on his head, and hung a red rope on each side of the small hat, and a small wooden fish was tied to the red rope. In his right hand, he carried a dead wooden cane, and a bell hung from it. I heard my father say that he later learned that this person was a Li sorcerer, who had saved a wounded beast and obtained the three-eyed copper bell and how to use it by chance. Later, through the hands of Chi You, combined with the Li people's method of controlling beasts, he developed a set of evil arts called three-eyed soul control. The three eyes represent the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the human soul. ”

When Wu Xingfeng listened to Ah Lian's narration, he carefully observed the three-eyed copper bell handed by Ah Mu. Its shape is very similar to that of later wind chimes, and three strange eyes are engraved on the side of the copper bell.

"Ling Zun has mentioned that the three-eyed bronze bell is used for anything other than the imperial beast?" Wu Xingfeng asked.

Ah Lian recalled and said: "My father only said that the three eyes represent the three talents of heaven, earth and man, the heavenly soul is white, the earth soul is black, the human soul is in the center, the color is constantly changing, and the others are unknown. ”

Wu Xingfeng heard this, turned the copper bell in his hand upside down, and found that there was a black bead hanging at the end of the resonance bar used to resonate with the resonance bowl inside the copper bell, and the technology of linking this bead with the resonance bar was more precise and perfect than the hollow welding of later generations, the end of the resonance bar was a circular protrusion, and the black beads were in this bulge, and the black beads would tumble from the hollow bulge when the bell swayed.

I don't know who designed this thing, but Wu Xingfeng found out at this time that the use of the three-eyed copper bell was far more than just for beasts. With the three souls of heaven, earth and man as talents, and the soul is used, the black and white of heaven and earth are not as good as the beginning of Tianyang, and the bottom is not connected to the end of Yin Kun.

With the three talents and souls at the head, assisted by the left and right, the person Ah Lian's father saw back then was by no means an ordinary capable person, if Wu Xingfeng did not guess wrong, this person's identity was not just as simple as a Li wizard.

Seeing Wu Xingfeng's brows, Ah Lian pointed to the three-eyed bronze bell on the ground and said: "The thing given by the Tiger King of the Hanging Eye, compared with the holy relics of the Li clan, there is no difference between the two in appearance, and the only difference should be the beads inlaid at the end of the resonance bar inside the copper bell. ”

Bai Jiuzhen took a step forward, bent down to pick up the three-eyed copper bell that the Tiger King spit out of his mouth, wiped it and handed it to Wu Xingfeng.

Bai Jiuzhen wiped the three-eyed copper bell not because he suspected that it was stained with saliva on the surface, but took the opportunity to use his aura to test whether the attributes of this thing were different from those of the Li people. After a try, the two are the same hand, the weight and structure are exactly the same, and even the resonance strip is made of the same material, both are ironwood.

Wu Xingfeng took it with his right hand, flipped it over and compared it with the three-eyed copper bell in his left hand.

There is no difference between the two in appearance, even the texture on the edge of the copper bell is exactly the same, the only difference is the beads raised at the end of the copper bell.

This bead is not white, nor black, nor black and white, but yellow.

Wu Xingfeng handed it to Bai Jiuzhen, and Bai Jiuzhen also frowned. "Could it be that there are more than these two three-eyed copper bells?"

Wu Xingfeng shook his head. "Ah Lian, do you know?"

Ah Lian also shook his head suspiciously, his father did tell him that the three-eyed copper bell was in charge of the three souls of heaven, earth and man, but he never mentioned how many three-eyed copper bells there were.

Wu Xingfeng's gaze moved to the Tiger King, who seemed to be able to read Wu Xingfeng's inner doubts, let out a low roar, and looked up at Bai Jiuzhen.

Bai Jiuzhen spoke. "The Hanging Eye Tiger King wants us to take care of his grandson, and the three-eyed copper bell is sealed in yellow beads using a mantra, and when the little Tiger King grows up, he will receive the inheritance of the Tiger God. The three-eyed bronze bell is left by the ancient beasts, and the ancient beasts return to the heavens and the earth, leaving the four gods, the four gods live in the meridian and the four squares, and the four gods have twenty-four gods guarding the twenty-four directions. The twenty-four directions correspond to the twenty-four mountains, and the twenty-four mountains are divided into twelve yang dragons and twelve yin dragons. ”

Before Bai Jiu finished speaking, Wu Xingfeng nodded and said. "Genghai Mao Weiding, Si Youchou, Gen Bingxun Xin. These twelve dragons are pure yin. Ren Yin Wu Xu, Shen Zichen, Qianjia Kun B. These twelve dragons are pure yang. ”

"Husband... You...?" Although the Tiger King expressed this meaning, Bai Jiuzhen failed to express it one by one, mainly because it was too esoteric and difficult to understand, and he didn't expect Wu Xingfeng to come as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I always thought that the innate gossip was created by the human emperor Fuxi, but I didn't expect that long before Fuxi, someone had deduced the law of yin and yang that the acquired gossip had on the basis of the innate gossip. The wisdom of the ancients is truly broad and profound, and the wisdom is exhausted. Wu Xingfeng sighed, and when he saw that no one understood, he spoke again.

"If you don't guess wrong, there should be eight three-eyed copper bells, corresponding to the eight palaces in the gossip of the day after tomorrow. There are eight sacred beasts in the eight palaces, and the three-eyed copper bell is their talisman magic weapon, and the palace position of each side represents one of the eight trigrams, which is what later generations said that one hexagram manages three mountains, and the eight trigrams total twenty-four mountains. There are three mountains in one hexagram, one mountain and one divine beast. The three divine beasts are each worthy of the position of the three souls of heaven, earth and man. A total of twenty-four directions, the twenty-four directions correspond to the twenty-four mountains in the gossip of the day after tomorrow, and the twenty-four mountains are subdivided into twelve yang dragons and twelve yin dragons. ”

Wu Xingfeng said this, turning his head to look at Bai Jiuzhen. "Do you know the four gods?"

"What are you talking about the four gods on Turtle Island that were sealed by the master?" Bai Jiuzhen thought of the matter of discussing the vitality with Wu Xingfeng that day, and the matter of the soul leaving the body.

"At first, I wondered what it meant for the four gods to reside in the human world, but now I understand. Wu Xingfeng seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be saying that Yu Bai Zhen knew.

Bai Jiuzhen asked suspiciously. "What do you mean...?"

"The four gods are the lords of the divine beasts stationed in the eight directions. The old turtle sealed the four gods and completely cut off the connection between the eight divine beasts and the four gods, and the eight divine beasts deliberately fell into the hands of the Li people in order to find the whereabouts of the four gods, so that the Li holy relics attracted the attention of the world, but I didn't expect the three-eyed copper bell to be obtained by us. ”

"You ask it, how did you get this thing?" Wu Xingfeng pointed to the three-eyed copper bell in Bai Jiuzhen's hand, but his eyes were looking at the hanging eye white tiger lying on the ground, although the hanging eye white tiger is the tiger king, but it is difficult to escape life and death, at this moment the breath is weak, and it has reached the last moment when the oil runs out of light.

Bai Yuzhen used his divine sense to communicate with the Tiger King, and the Tiger King shook his head.

"It's not that it doesn't know, it can't be said, I suspect that the Hanging Eyes Tiger King is one of the Eight Divine Beasts guarding the Yin Palace, and one of the three souls in charge of the new Tiger King who was captured by the Li clan earlier should be the earth soul. Wu Xingfeng pointed to the three-eyed bronze bell seized from the Li clan in his hand and said.

"My lord, look..."Ah Lian pointed to the hanging white tiger lying on his stomach. "The Tiger King is dead. ”

The little tiger cub who was frolicking with Amu seemed to notice the abnormal aura of the Tiger King, and broke free from Amu's arms and went straight to the Tiger King. The little tiger cub let out a low grunt and circled around the tiger king.

Wu Xingfeng was silent for a moment, his understanding of life and death was higher than that of everyone else, and there was no sadness in his eyes, but he was quite emotional. "Bury it on the spot!" Wu Xingfeng said to Dashi and Caigang.

The two nodded and began to dig the earth.

The little tiger cub was held in Amu's arms, and Amu stroked and comforted him.

Mythical beasts are spiritual, and the little tiger cub, as the next tiger king, can understand what everyone is doing.

After burying the Tiger King, everyone continued to move towards the sea.

Because he was not in a hurry, he walked more than forty miles until the evening. Along the way, Wu Xingfeng barely spoke, and Bai Jiuzhen knew that Wu Xingfeng must be thinking about something when he was silent.

"You say, the four gods are sealed, what impact does it have on the world?" When Wu Xingfeng spoke, there was no prefix to foreshadow, and everyone was unknown for a while, and Wu Xingfeng didn't need everyone to understand, as long as Bai Jiu really understood.

Bai Jiuzhen did not disappoint him, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I have no way of knowing the origin of Master, but one thing is certain, there must be someone more powerful than Master. ”

Wu Xingfeng did not criticize Bai Jiuzhen for answering the question, but with a hint of relief. Bai Jiu is really a nine-tailed spirit fox, who has cultivated for thousands of years, and her mind is far beyond ordinary people, although she has been wondering and asking questions when communicating with Wu Xingfeng, in fact, she did it on purpose, in order to give Wu Xingfeng face.

The question at this moment is exactly what Wu Xingfeng wants to analyze the old turtle, whether the old turtle seals the four gods voluntarily or by the will of others.

If it is voluntary, the scope is very limited. If it is the will of others, it is not as simple as sealing the four gods.

The four gods are still the sons of the ancient gods and beasts, and they are in the four directions, and the world calls them the four gods for a reason.

The four gods rule the eight directions, and the eight directions are called the eight palaces, which evolved from the eight trigrams. There are twenty-four divine beasts guarding the eight palaces, and three in the first house. The layout of the method of sorting the gossip the day after tomorrow. Each divine beast has a talisman magic weapon, which is the three-eyed copper bell.

After preliminary analysis, the heavenly soul and earth soul of the three-eyed bronze bell are both black and white, and only the life soul is determined by the five elements of the palace to determine what color it is.

The Hanging Eye White Tiger should be the divine beast that guards the soul of the Yin Palace, and it can be judged based on the yellow beads in the circular bulge at the end of the resonance bar.

With the above arguments, we can make an analogy.

The three mountains of Kangong, Renzi Gui, and the five elements of the soul belong to water, which is black. The three mountains of Qiangong, the five elements of the soul belong to gold, which is white. The three mountains of the palace, Gengyouxin, and the five elements of the soul belong to gold, which is white. The three mountains of Kun Palace, Wei Kunshen, the five elements of the soul belong to the earth, and they are yellow. The three mountains of the palace, Bingwu Ding, the five elements of the soul belong to fire, and they are red. The three mountains of Xun Palace, Chen Xunsi, the five elements of the soul belong to the wood, which is cyan. The three mountains of the earthquake palace, the first and the second, the five elements of the soul belong to the wood, which is cyan. The three mountains of Gengong Palace, the ugly Gen Yin, and the five elements of the soul belong to the earth, which is yellow.

It can be seen that each of the eight palaces guards one of them, which is a three-eyed copper bell. There are five attributes, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. There are five colors, blue, red, yellow, white, and black.

"Husband, what do you mean by the twenty-four mountains of the afterlife you mentioned earlier?" Bai Jiuzhen asked.
