Chapter 110: Nanachilin
On all sides of the box, there are patterns that look unruly but are very beautiful. The groom circled the box several times, but still found no pattern.
Yun Ying also held his chin in his jade hand and thought for a long time.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two or three hours have passed, and Yun Ying said very anxiously: "It seems that we won't be able to open this box for a while, let's bury it back quickly." It's off the beaten track, and no one should come here. After we kill that Liu Yan, we will bring it back and study it well. ”
The groom shook his head helplessly, he was really in a dilemma at this moment. If he didn't bury the box back, it was very likely that his assassination of Liu Yan would be delayed, but if he buried it back, he felt that when they came back, the box would be 100% gone.
What to do?
In his desperation, the groom really had no good way, so he could only concentrate his full attention on the box in order to find a way to open it.
"What are you thinking? Do you want to take it with you? ”
The groom smiled and said, "It's too eye-catching to carry." Don't worry, give me another half hour. ”
Yun Ying saw that he couldn't move, so he had to say: "Since that's the case, then you should take a good look, anyway, you are a general, and I will listen to you in everything." ”
The groom could hear the grumbling in her words, but there was nothing else he could do at this time.
Before I knew it, the sun had risen quietly after the rain, shuttling through the cracks of the ruins, and the groom was stunned when the sun's rays shone on the top of the box.
The box was illuminated by the sun, forming a mirage-like pattern on the top of the box. It's just that the structure of this pattern is very simple, in the middle is a tower of dozens of floors, and there are four arrows extending in four directions at the four corners.
"What a magical pattern!" When Yun Ying saw this, she tried to touch it with her hand, but her hand passed directly through the pattern.
"It's just a phantom! If I'm right, the secret to opening the box is hidden in this pattern. ”
Yun Ying looked at the magical pattern intently, a pair of willow eyebrows trembled like microwaves, she almost focused all her attention on the tower, there was a dazzling pearl on the tower, and on the top of the tower, the eaves of the tower seemed to be hung with four sacred objects: the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu.
"Shouldn't it be the green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the Vermilion Bird on the top, and the Xuanwu on the bottom? Why are all these four artifacts hanging on the eaves of the tower? ”
"There it is!"
Yun Ying's casual remark completely reminded the groom. Following the four directions indicated on the pattern, the groom began to look around the temple for what he was looking for.
"You set that box right, and you set it right!"
After seeing that there was nothing in the direction indicated on the pattern, Mafusuo walked to the temple gate and looked at the box from the outside in.
After Yun Ying straightened the box, a smile immediately appeared on the groom's face. He hurriedly walked to the corner of the wall to the left of the ruined temple, and after squatting down, he immediately started digging, and after digging for a long time, he took out a very quaint-looking bronze from the pit he had dug.
"That's the green dragon!"
After seeing what the groom was holding in his hand, Yun Ying immediately shouted excitedly.
After wiping the bronze in his hand with the corner of his clothes, the groom found that it was indeed very similar to the appearance of the green dragon he had seen in ancient books.
This green dragon is made of bronze, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite, but holding this bronze, the groom always feels that it does not seem to have a long history, which is quite a stark contrast to the box that seems to have a long history.
There was little time for him to think about it, and the groom followed the same method, digging up the other three artifacts in the direction indicated by the arrow in the pattern.
It didn't take long for him to find all the four artifacts of Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Green Dragon, and White Tiger. Holding these four sacred objects, the groom really felt that the production process of the ancients was too perfect, and at the same time, the person who set up this layout was simply too godly.
As an atheist, Mafu did not believe in any ghosts. But he also knows that this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
The mere fact that this box reflects the sunlight and conjures up strange patterns is enough for him to ponder, and as for the layout of the Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, etc., it is a bit like the feeling of a temple in the town of the four gods. However, this layout is less common. In particular, these four artifacts were not buried in the corner of the wall, but were all buried about nine feet away from the corner.
Although Mafu knew that the number "nine" had a special meaning to the ancients, he really couldn't imagine that a temple that no one cared about could be set up so cleverly and so closely related to nine. This made him suspect that the temple was built by the royal family.
"Hey, what do you think? What's next? ”
Seeing the groom standing there holding the four artifacts in a daze, Yun Ying was really a little impatient to wait.
The groom hurriedly walked to the side of the box, then took a closer look, and after he handed the four artifacts to Cloud Eagle, he moved the box forward, but the pattern above the box immediately disappeared.
When he moved the box to the cave where it was buried, the groom said to Yun Ying, "Give me Xuanwu!" ”
Yun Ying hurriedly handed Xuanwu to the groom, and after the groom put the Xuanwu in the hole, he directly moved the box.
"You don't want to put this box on top of that Xuanwu, do you?" Yun Ying's face was puzzled.
The groom, who was already about to put the box down, smiled and said, "Exactly. ”
"Are you sure that Xuanwu won't be crushed?"
"Definitely not!"
Between words, the groom had placed the box completely on top of the Xuanwu, and at this time the box was a foot above the ground.
"Hand me Suzaku!"
The groom took the Suzaku and placed it on top of the box.
"According to your way, the green dragon should be placed on the left, and the white tiger should be placed on the right?"
"Exactly!"
With that, the groom began to dig on the left and right sides of the box again, and after digging for a while, he finally dug up two places next to the box where the green dragon and the white tiger could be placed.
After he put the green dragon in first, he took a deep breath and silently prayed that his thoughts were correct.
Yun Ying, who was almost holding his breath at this time, whispered to him: "Can this really be opened?" ”
"Maybe!" The groom gently put the white tiger inside.
To the great disappointment of the groom, something happened, but the box still did not react.
"What are we going to do now?" Yun Ying looked at the dejected groom and asked.
The groom sighed and said, "It seems that this box is not destined to belong to me!" ”
Just as the groom stretched out his hand to take away the Suzaku on the box, he only heard a "crack", and the vigilance of the groom and Yunying was very high, and they suddenly took several steps back.
When the groom saw that nothing had happened, and cautiously walked to the box, he found that there was nothing strange about it.
Where did the sound come from?
Hope was followed by a deeper disappointment, and just as the groom removed Suzaku and touched the lid of the box with his hand, something happened to him!
The lid that had been attached to the box was loosened at this time. Fearing that there might be a hidden weapon hidden in the box, the groom did not rush to lift the lid, but picked up a wooden stick and pushed the lid through with a little force.
Seeing that there was no hidden weapon, the groom and Yun Ying cautiously walked to the side of the box.
When he saw the contents of the box, the groom was really quite lost, and there was nothing in it except a robe and a letter.
"How so? Something so mysterious turned out to be just a Taoist priest playing smart! Yun Ying said sarcastically.
The groom was disappointed, but carefully picked up the letter.
There was not a word written on the envelope, and when he opened the envelope and read it carefully, he was stunned!
There is such a coincidence in this world!
The fascinated groom didn't notice at all at this time, and the afterglow of Yun Ying's eyes had already noticed the contents of the letter.
"Why are there seven maps, didn't you and the military advisor say that there are nine maps?"
Ma Fu realized at this time that this letter should not be seen by Yun Ying, but since she saw it, he had no choice but to say: "That's what Mr. said to me, maybe Mr. said it wrong!" ”
For this scene, a poem in later generations sighed: "Who determines the encounter between heaven and earth? Rainbow is a bridge builder in vain! ”
The things of the world are coincidental and coincidental, but when it comes to the Tao, it seems that there are so many endless stories in the midst of many coincidences.
Ma Fu's heart was very flustered at this time, he really didn't dare to imagine that the heavenly book that Yun Ying said in his mouth really existed in this world. According to the letter, if you want to find the Book of Heaven, you must find seven maps, and these seven maps are numbered "Qilin Map". When the seven maps are combined, that is, when the Book of Heaven reappears.
Looking at the words in the letter, Mafu always felt that this matter was too mysterious. He has never liked anything like to participate in the Tao of Enlightenment and Enlightenment, but this is something similar to treasure hunting. However, it is foreseeable that he does not have much time to go treasure hunting, whether it is now or in the future, so this matter of heavenly books seems to be very far away from him.
Yizhou Chengdu, Yangzhou Guangling, Liaoxi Lulong, Bingzhou Taiyuan, Yongzhou Chang'an, Hanzhong Nanzheng, and a horseman who has no impression at all!
Seven places, seven maps. Ma Fu felt that if he could take down these seven places, he would not need any heavenly books at all, and he would be able to dominate the world.
"It seems that we can also look for the Book of Heaven while we go to Chengdu to assassinate Liu Yan!"
Yun Ying's words completely reminded the horseman, originally this was just a ploy carefully designed by Yang Fu and him to lure Yun Ying to the bait, but now it seems that this has come true.
To say that this was a coincidence, the groom was really incredulous, and he preferred to believe that it was a large, invisible hand that was secretly cramping...... (To be continued.) )
