Chapter 125: Carved Columns
"Xiaohu, send a distinguished guest, please VIP. The scholar sitting in the first place saw that the matter on Jiang Liu'er's side had been decided, so he said lightly.
"Yes, sir. After Xia Xiaohu bowed slightly to the scholar, he walked up to Xiao Caiyan and the three middle-aged men, smiled at them, and said, "Please, several, where did you come from and where are you going." What follows is not something you can bear. ”
Xiao Caiyan is okay, as early as Kunlun, he saw a lot of hermit masters and heard a lot of bizarre things, so he was not so excited and resistant.
The three middle-aged men, on the other hand, were already numb, standing in place dumbfounded, motionless, although they had not said a word during the whole process, and they were about to be sent away directly, but they did not show the slightest displeasure.
These three middle-aged people are masters who have been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes, and they were invited by Xiao Caiyan to help, but they didn't want to just appear, and one of them was seriously injured by the monk Duyuan, and he was full of frustration;
Now I have seen the goddess and some legendary characters in my heart, they are nothing compared to those characters, so they have long abandoned the demeanor of a master, and they are as excited as a child.
After a few huge emotional ups and downs, the three of them were a little confused, and they were already at a loss and forgot how to leave.
The little princess Xiao Caiyan looked at the three masters she invited, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, and said to Xia Xiaohu with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, Xia Gongzi, the three friends brought by Caiyan haven't seen anything in the world, and they have to see such a gaffe of their predecessors." ”
Xia Xiaohu smiled very calmly and said, "It's okay, little princess, I'm sorry for you." ”
Xiao Caiyan looked around the water pavilion at this time, except for the golden lotus with a purple halo around him, he didn't find the boat they came to, and asked a little confusedly: "Young Master Xia, may I ask where the boat of the small house when we came?"
Xia Xiaohu said like a meditation machine: "Where you come from and where you go back, you can naturally see it." ”
Xiao Caiyan thought about it, nodded, as if he understood something, and didn't say more, after three clicks on the acupoint on the heads of the three middle-aged men, the three middle-aged men woke up like a dream.
After seeing the three middle-aged men come to their senses, Xiao Caiyan took them to salute Xia Xiaohu and the four people seated, and then said to Xia Xiaohu secretly with a red face: "After coming to the Great Liang Imperial City, remember to inform me as soon as possible, and I will go to play with you." ”
When Xia Xiaohu heard Xiao Caiyan's words, he touched the tip of his nose with his hand, smiled very gently at Xiao Caiyan, and didn't say anything.
Xiao Caiyan looked at Xia Xiaohu's delicate face, the warm smile, the coldness buried deep in his heart, like encountering a warm current from all directions, was quietly melting.
After that, Xiao Caiyan took the three middle-aged men who were still a little confused and walked to the edge of the water pavilion when they came, until the four of them stepped on the steps of the water pavilion, which was still full of purple gold lotus, and a building boat appeared out of thin air, as if the boat had been staying there, but no one could see it.
The ship had been there all along, and they really couldn't see it.
Xiao Caiyan was slightly stunned, quickly stabilized his mind, took the three of them on the boat, and left the water pavilion along the way they came.
Yan Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, was surprised to find that his boat was also gone, but his mind moved, and the boat was still safely parked on the edge of the water pavilion, but he couldn't see it.
Yan Yu thought to himself, could this be the ancient illusion and the wonderful trick of the machine? Let's continue to look at it, maybe someone will say it later, but only the little scholar can sense his existence, it's really boring.
However, what is so special about the little scholar, that only he can perceive himself?
Just when Yan Yu was thinking wildly, the scholar sitting in the first place said calmly: "Xiaohu, open the door and welcome guests." ”
"Yes, sir. Hearing this, Xia Xiaohu walked towards a direction of the water pavilion.
When Xia Xiaohu walked, the landscape around the water pavilion changed together.
In Yan Yu's eyes, it was originally just a simple water pavilion, but now with Xia Xiaohu's movement, a long corridor appeared, the corridor was about five meters long, and there was a corridor column every short distance on both sides, a total of eight, and the corridor pillars were covered with a unified antique black oil, and different patterns were carved on them.
As soon as Yan Yu's mind moved, his body appeared at this end of the corridor, and he carefully looked at the carving on the first pillar, and thought it was quite interesting.
On the first pillar, there are two dragons carved, one is the common five-clawed dragon, and the other is also a four-clawed dragon, but there is a pair of dragon wings. Since the pillars are covered with black oil, it is impossible to distinguish the color of the two dragons' bodies.
Yan Yu recognized the winged dragon, which was not the four-legged snake-like lizard dragon of the Western world, but the Ying dragon in ancient Chinese mythology.
Ying Long is a kind of winged dragon in ancient Chinese myths and legends, also known as the flying dragon, also known as the Yellow Dragon, another scholar speculates that Ying Long is named after Gengchen;
The two dragons on the pillars are facing each other, the bodies of the two dragons are slightly entangled, and there is a boxy flaky object in the middle of the two dragon heads, instead of the beads that usually appear in the depiction, forming a picture of two dragons playing with pearls.
Although Yan Yu said that he had read a lot of history books, he didn't have much research on ancient characters, so he didn't know the words on it, so he had to keep those two words in his heart, and he was ready to study them after waking up.
On the second pillar, there were also two dragons, but the five-clawed dragon was split into two pieces and landed below. And a person appeared on the back of that Ying Long, the carving of that person was very blurry, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, but the flaky object he was holding in his hand was very conspicuous.
The painting style on the third pillar has changed, and it is a series of depictions, mostly ancient mythological stories.
For example, there is Pangu Open the World, a giant holding a giant axe, in front of him is a cut ball, the color of the upper semicircle is much lighter than the color of the lower semicircle.
For example, there is Nuwa Mending the Sky, a goddess, independent and peerless, standing in the wind, with a pile of stones under her feet, looking at the hole above her head, with a resolute face.
For example, there is Kuafu chasing the sun, a running giant, and above his front, there is a round thing that emits some light.
......
On the third pillar, it is densely packed and carved all over the column.
After Yan Yu looked at a few patterns, he didn't continue to look at them, and turned to the fourth pillar.
Some strange monsters carved on the fourth pillar, Yan Yu looked at it curiously, and recognized some monsters that were easier to identify, all of which had been seen in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
For example, it has the body of a horse and has the wings of a bird, and the face of a human has the tail of a snake.
For example, it is shaped like an ordinary bull, but it has hedgehog hair all over its body, and its voice is like a dog barking.
For example, it has the body of a fish, the head of a snake, and six legs, and its eyes are long like horse ears.
There are also three six-tailed owls, a tengu with a white head but like a cat, and so on.
......
On the fifth pillar, there are some people carved, and Yan Yu can recognize many of them at a glance, because they are all ancient saints depicted there.
For example, Lao Tzu riding a cow and having a fairy wind, Confucius looking up at the sky with a scroll in his back hand and a contemplative face, and Zhuangzi looking at the butterfly in front of him in a daze, and so on.
One of them, the most clearly carved and lifelike, yet the face of the person who could not be seen clearly, sat cross-legged in the middle of the columns, his hair was so dear, and his hair was so realistically depicted that it covered part of his cheeks.
The man looked down at the ground, his eyes full of vicissitudes and confusion, and the ground in front of him was also depicted, like a small city.
Yan Yu thought to himself, this person is probably Guiguzi, otherwise why is the portrayal different?
Yan Yu didn't linger too much on those saints, and continued to look at the sixth pillar with curiosity.
There is no dense depiction on this pillar, there is only one person, this person stands on an ancient chariot with the momentum of dominating the world, holding a jade seal with a radius of four inches, and the jade seal of the five dragons in New York, the jade seal is engraved with eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", and the jade seal is in one direction, where is a map, and the Kyushu continent is all in it.
Seeing this, Yan Yu originally thought that the seventh pillar would be a portrayal of the Han world, such as Liu Bang drawing his sword to cut the white snake or something.
But when he came to the seventh pillar, he found that there was a river carved on it, and I don't know where it led, and there was a canopy boat on the river, and at the bow was an old boatman wearing a robe, a hat, and a penny.
Yan Yu looked at this pillar for a long time, not knowing what this portrayal meant, and finally gave up and walked to the last pillar, hoping to get some explanation.
When he came to the eighth pillar, he was surprised to find that there was nothing carved on it, and if anything, it was chaos, full of nothingness.
Yan Yu returned to the seventh chapter of the pillar, looked at it carefully for a long time, and vaguely felt that the place where the river led was where the eighth pillar was located.
In the same way, in addition to the columns full of stories, that corridor also has some beauties for people to rest.
On the lake on both sides of the promenade, only purple golden lotuses could be seen, and nothing else was left.
After Yan Yu looked at the pillars, he found that after Xia Xiaohu walked to the end of the corridor, he didn't know what to do, and what was presented in front of them was another kind of scenery, which was connected to a courtyard, and the ground was paved with glittering white jade mountain stones.
I saw Xia Xiaohu not far away gently pushing into the air, and there seemed to be a huge door in the air that had been pushed open, and there were three people standing outside the door.
