Chapter Fifty-Six: The Snake and Gou Chen

After everyone understood the patterns on the twelve doors, the scene fell into embarrassment again.

I really don't want to admit it, but it's true, after everyone said what they saw, instead of gaining something, we were silent with each other.

Everyone made eye contact with each other, and although they did not speak, they could clearly see each other's thoughts in their eyes.

What are these things that are not related?

We really have to admit that everything in this Tongtian Palace is really too weird.

I thought that after figuring out the pattern distribution on the twelve doors, we would learn more about this place as a whole, and thus help us further explore the secrets of this Tongtian Palace.

But the result is not what I imagined, but it has driven us almost crazy.

After we exchanged our discoveries with each other, we found that the patterns on the twelve doors were illogical, and it could really be said that there was no connection between men, women, children, birds and animals.

The only thing we can be sure of now is the four elephant beasts, and we are not even sure about the pattern itself, so how can we carry out the next step of exploration?

Since Tongtian Palace was built in accordance with the Taoist concept of the unity of heaven and man, it is natural to understand that the patterns of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu are here to guard the four directions.

But what about the other patterns?

A huge serpent, a graceful and luxurious woman, a heroic official, and a girl with ethereal eyes.

The legendary unicorn, an unknown god, a man who looks noble, and a hazy thing that can't see clearly.

What is all this?

Now that we only know the general outline of this pattern, and we don't even know the true meaning of this pattern, how can we find it?

I couldn't help but wonder if what I had just guessed was that there really was any connection between these patterns.

Chunting, who was quietly watching us on the side, finally couldn't help but open his mouth to give us the next hint after discovering that we were almost crazy.

"Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, everyone knows a lot about these four spirit beasts, so I don't think I need to introduce them too much."

He gently led the four-elephant beast through his mouth, and then seriously talked to us about the last pattern he had found.

"In the south I explored, in addition to the white tiger and the red bird, the third pattern I found was a giant snake, this snake has a huge and legless body, and the cloud pattern is carved underneath, and it seems to be flying into the distance through the clouds."

Due to the previous experience, we actually unconsciously relied on Chunting, because no matter what happened, Chunting was always unhurried and calmly guided us in the right direction.

So after hearing his serious and calm voice, we began to calm down out of trust in him, and our restless emotions eased a little.

And after he said the description of the serpent, I vaguely seemed to understand.

Is it a huge, leggless, flying snake......

Before I could open my mouth to confirm my guess to Chunting, Ling Xuan on the side took the first step, he looked at Chunting with excited eyes, his tone was full of excitement.

"Brother Ting, could it be that the third pattern you found is a beetle snake?"

Hearing Ling Xuan's speculation, I couldn't help but sigh silently in my heart, Ling Xuan was really a knowledgeable and talented person, I thought that my reaction was fast enough, but I didn't expect him to be one step faster than me.

Ling Xuan's guess coincided with mine, and after hearing Chun Ting's description, the first thought that came to my mind was the beetle snake.

The beetle snake, also known as the flying snake, has been recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, saying that it is a kind of divine beast that can soar through the clouds and fog, and it is also one of the stars in ancient times.

Chun Ting stopped speaking after introducing his discovery, and only nodded in satisfaction when he heard Ling Xuan's guess.

From the appearance of the Spring Pavilion, it is not difficult for us to see that Ling Xuan's guess was correct, and the third pattern found in the Spring Pavilion was indeed the legendary beetle snake flying without feet.

After learning that the pattern of the giant snake was a beetle, the awkward atmosphere around us finally eased.

Although I only got a clue, I don't know what the other patterns are, but it's hard to get started, and now that we've made a breakthrough, it's only a matter of time before we think of other patterns.

Just as we were thinking about the connection between the beetle snake and this place, Qi Zhi looked at Ling Xuan, tilted her head and asked cutely.

"Brother Ling Xuan, what is a beetle snake, is it a snake?"

"The beetle snake, also known as the flying snake, is not an ordinary snake, Xunzi once wrote in the persuasion, the beetle snake flies without feet, and the flying squirrel has five skills and is poor."

Ling Xuan was in a good mood when he got the clue about the beetle snake, and watched Qi Zhi explain to her dotingly.

"And in the rumors, the beetle snake is even more famous, it is a sacred beast alongside Gou Chen, ranking below the four elephants, not only one of the eight gods in the Taoist called Qimen, but also among the six ancient gods."

As soon as Ling Xuan's words fell, I suddenly shouted excitedly, and after hearing his explanation of Qi Zhi, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I finally figured out some of the connections in this pattern.

"Gou Chen, it's Gou Chen!"

After Chun Ting said that the pattern he found was a beetle snake, we all thought about it from the perspective of the beetle snake for a while, until Ling Xuan inadvertently introduced the beetle snake to Qi Zhi in detail, which made me understand it from another angle.

Yi He just said that during his exploration in the East, he found a pattern on the pitch-black door that looked like a unicorn.

And since there is already a pattern of a beetle snake here, we can be sure that the pattern found in the East must not be a unicorn, but the legendary Gouchen.

There is no other reason than because it was recorded in ancient books.

The elephant of Gou Chen, whose real name is Qilin, is in the center, the right to be the day, and the Gairen beast is governed by Tude.

As the name suggests, that is to say, Gou Chen looks like a unicorn, ranking in the world, and because of his benevolence, he governs the world with virtue.

Since Gou Chen looks like a unicorn, why can't what Yi He found be the legendary Gou Chen?

What's more, the pattern of the beetle snake has appeared here, and as a mythical beast juxtaposed with the beetle snake, the appearance of the outline pattern is naturally logical, and there is nothing unacceptable.

But that's not what I'm concerned about now, it's another legend.

The green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, the beetle snake, Gou Chen, these six are the six ancient gods revered by Taoism!

That's the only connection I've found in these patterns so far! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
