Chapter 221: Seeing the Sky
The stone gate in front of him seems to be full of strange mysteries, but it is secretly in line with the gossip of the five elements, which is obviously that the owner here has room to give the "visitor" a ray of life. As for whether the vitality can be grasped, it can only be relied on by one's ability.
At this time, the oil lamp hanging on the inner wall of the stone pillar has been faintly glowing, perhaps because it has not been ventilated for a long time, or it has broken some kind of balance, and the oil lamp is crumbling. Gu Xing could only take out the fire fold from his arms, and carefully approached to start solving the puzzle.
Since "the door sees the sky", it is natural to start with gossip in order to fit the five elements and solve it.
Ling Ling saw that Gu Xing had been hanging in the air, so he wanted to step forward. But Gu Xing raised his hand to stop him, "Miss Lingling, don't be impatient, let me burn half incense, I will definitely be able to crack it." ”
"In this way, you also dabble in the gossip of the five elements?" Ling Ling's heart was restless, but he had to suppress his heart and ask patiently.
Gu Xingxing turned around, but said slowly in an old-fashioned and serious tone: "In such a confined space, we will try to be as concise as possible, but I am forced to act in front of me, and I will solve a question or two for the Lingling girl." ”
"I want to hear about it." Ling Ling grinned, and he was actually interested.
"The so-called five elements are the philosophical doctrines summarized by the ancients through the accumulation of time, which are collectively called the 'five elements of yin and yang'. The art of the five elements corresponds to all things and is unpredictable, but its root cause is only 'metal, wood, water, fire, and earth'. Gu Xing's opening startled Ling Ling.
I didn't expect this gallless rat who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't feel a little impressed with his [] and other attainments.
Without waiting for Ling Ling to ask, Gu Xing continued: "The origin of the five elements, running through yin and yang, can solve all things, it is a cyclical process, and it cannot be speculated by common sense. And the 'five elements of yin and yang' are just the foundation of all things, and the Tiangang gossip is the source of the Qi body. ”
Lingling was already confused by Gu Xing's "high-minded talk", so he could only wave his hand again and again: "What should be the solution here?" Have you ever had an idea? ”
Gu Xing's body froze when he heard this, turned his head and smiled: "There is a solution, but I need the help of Miss Lingling." ”
"Speak up if you have something to say!" Ling Ling was already a little impatient, presumably because the breath here was exhausted, and he began to be irritable when he was here, and he was like the thirsty appearance just now.
Gu Xing dared to be lazy, and hurriedly said: "Borrow the Lingling girl's short knife and use it." ”
Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in Gu Xing's gourd, he still took out a short knife and handed it over. Gu Xing took the short knife and began to burn it under the tip of the knife with the fire fold in his hand, although Ling Ling was puzzled, he didn't stop it, but looked like he was waiting for a good show.
When the tip of the short knife was burning a little, Gu Xing slashed the tip of the short knife towards the middle of the stone door, and the sound of Jin Ge hitting the stone sounded, and the originally airtight stone door was slightly loosened, and a gap was already exposed.
Seeing this, Gu Xing hurriedly brought the fire fold closer and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that this method worked, he began to continue the cycle. With a slash, the gap between the stone gates gradually expanded, as if each slash pulled the stone gates on both sides out, and there was already a gap of a punch.
When Gu Xing slashed the twelfth knife, he was already sweating profusely, but his face was not the slightest tired, but full of excitement. After Gu Xing handed the short knife back to Ling Ling with his backhand, he tentatively groped both sides of the stone gate with his hands.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he looked into the gap through the faint light of the fire fold. Seeing this, Ling Ling hurriedly asked, "But what did you see?" Gu Xing didn't answer, but pretended to make a mysterious gesture of silence, got up and took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Ling Ling was puzzled and asked, "Gu boy, what are you doing by chopping the stone gate?" ”
"Temptation." Gu Xing finally said what he thought in his heart.
"Temptation? Could it be that there is an undetectable mechanism behind the door, so that you are not afraid of being touched but lose the opportunity? Lingling finally couldn't help it, and asked urgently.
Gu Xing smiled when he heard this, "Lingling girl rest assured, this step of mine is a must, one is to test it, and the other is to break the trick with strength." ”
"Clever with strength?" Lingling's eyes almost widened. If you can say "temptation" can still understand a thing or two, but this is really a bit unbelievable.
Gu Xing retreated to Lingling's side, pointed to the plaque and said, "Now take a closer look at the four characters on the plaque, what has changed?" ”
Lingling took a closer look through the faint light of the fire fold, and the four characters that were originally arranged according to "Qianmen Seeing the Sky" were actually reversed and changed to "Qiantian Seeing the Door". This sudden change made Lingling stand on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Gu Xing didn't wait for Lingling to digest it, and pointed to the carving of birds on the stone door, "Lingling Gu Niang looked at the position of the birds just now at this time, what changes have there been?" ”
Ling Ling withdrew his thoughts from the shock, and looked fixedly, the birds that were originally covered with stone gates slowly gathered at this time, and four pitch-black hollows flowed out, revealing a deep weirdness at this moment.
Gu Xing was about to continue, but he was suddenly knocked on the top of his head by Ling Ling's violent shock, and he hurriedly covered his squatting body and screamed in pain. And after Ling Ling made a move, he suppressed all the doubts and shocks in his heart, regained his previous indifferent demeanor, and squinted his eyes and looked down at Gu Xing.
Gu Xing is such a smart person, how can he not know what Ling Ling is thinking at this time. It's just that I tried to ease the atmosphere with some pretensions just now, but it backfired. Without waiting for Lingling to continue, Gu Xing got up and jumped back a few steps before he spoke: "Don't do it, this will solve the situation." ”
Lingling crossed his arms around his chest, looking like he knew this was the case, why bother with the original appearance. There was a clear word in his eyes, "Sample, this is what happened to Douse." Gu Xing bypassed Lingling, hurriedly ran to the stone gate, and fell into deep thought again.
"Why don't you solve the situation yet?" Ling Ling was already a little impatient, and hurriedly urged.
"It's all going too well, it's a little too simple." Gu Xing didn't turn around, his eyes stared at the plaque and said motionlessly.
"Could it be?!" This sentence was blurted out by the two of them at the same time, but Lingling's words were full of questions, and Gu Xing suddenly realized.
When the words landed, echoing in this empty stone pillar, Gu Xing immediately squatted down to accumulate strength, and then jumped high to take off the word Tianzi on the plaque, and pressed it on the rightmost of the four voids that appeared just now.
After there was no movement, Gu Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up again and took off the word "Qian", and pressed it on the leftmost hole of the remaining three holes.
At this time, nothing happened, and the words "door" and "see" were still left on the plaque, but Gu Xing was a little embarrassed. Lingling thought that Gu Xing was going to take it all off, but he stopped halfway through.
At this moment, Gu Xing turned around and shouted at Ling Ling: "Come and help, it's too late." As soon as these words came out, the gap that had just been opened after being slashed by the short knife gradually closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although Ling Ling didn't know the reason, he immediately ran towards Gu Xing. Gu Xing waited for Ling Ling to come to his side, and said busily: "Let's take off the remaining two words together and press them into the hollow in the first order." ”
Ling Ling nodded, and the two of them squatted down and jumped up, successfully taking off the remaining two words. The moment he took off the two words again, the gap that had been quickly closed sped up a few points.
The two of them didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately pressed the remaining two words into the hole, but all four words were embedded, and Gu Xing and Ling Ling held their breath and watched the changes in the stone gate.
Sure enough, at the moment after the four characters were embedded, the stone door that was supposed to be closed again suddenly sounded with the sound of the machine spring reversing, and the stone door slowly opened from the middle, and a straight avenue appeared in front of the two.
Gu Xing fell to the ground at the moment when the stone door opened, and the series of mental and physical firepower just now made him a little unbearable. Lingling was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Gu Xing suddenly felt that someone had grabbed one of his feet, and with the rude and inhumane dragging, Gu Xing was dragged into the open stone door.
As the two disappeared behind the stone gate, the four words that were originally embedded in the stone door jumped back to the original plaque as the stone gate slowly closed, squeezed by some force.
If Gu Xing saw this scene, he would not feel strange, but would only be amazed that in Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there were people who had mastered such cutting-edge technology, which was really a bit incredible.
But he couldn't see it after all, because at this time he was being dragged by one leg and moving forward in a daze on the straight avenue behind the stone gate.
Lingling dragged Gu Xing away for a while, except for the straight avenue under his feet, the surroundings were all white, which was very different from the scene outside the stone gate. At this time, Gu Xing's detachment was half-asleep and half-awake, like a dead dog, which made Lingling roll his eyes and look disgusted.
Or feel that it may not be enough to continue to explore on his own, so he can only sit beside Gu Xing and wait for him to wake up. Lingling is not without a strong heart, but if it backfires, I'm afraid the two of them can only resign themselves to fate.
After more than half an hour, Gu Xing finally came back to his senses from a half-dream and half-awake, and after falling to the ground just now, his consciousness fell into nothingness, and he didn't know everything in front of him. But he brought in all the mysteries he had just solved, and between the virtual and the real, he seemed to have an epiphany.
Just now, Gu Xing broke the trick with his strength, which was to temporarily block the hidden mechanism of the stone gate, and buy time to crack this "dry door to see the sky". In fact, as he thought, the five elements of the word "dry" belong to gold, and if you chop it with a cauterizing short knife, it will be "fire and gold", and it will naturally be able to win by surprise.
Once the Shimen organ is charged, it can take advantage of this opportunity to take a look at the opportunity to wake up and play tricks, not a false move, but to observe the next move.
When the birds on the stone door began to spin and move, giving way to a hollow, Gu Xing knew that this method would work. After looking around, the owner of this place had already given the answer at the beginning, but it was only to increase the difficulty, or to calculate that someone had broken through the trick, so he gave a confusing word.
Fortunately, Gu Xing stuck to his heart, and after this calculation, he was sure that this method was feasible, so he cracked this mechanism of "seeing the sky from the door" in one fell swoop. At this time, I saw the vision in front of me, it was indeed like nine heavens, and there were few clouds and mist, and I didn't know whether it was true or not.
After Gu Xing came back to his senses completely, before Lingling could speak, he turned over and jumped up, and ran quickly forward. Lingling didn't know what Gu Xing's reason was, so he could only follow closely and find out.
