Chapter 36: Immortality
Zhou Kesheng stood up and said, "Let's find a shelter from the wind, rest for the night, and continue to look for it tomorrow." ”
Everyone was tired and hungry after a busy day, especially after a wild run, and their physical exertion was serious, and they really needed to rest.
After listening to Zhou Kesheng's suggestion, they all nodded and began to look for a suitable place to set up a tent overnight.
found a huge rock covered with snow, Xiao Ling helped Sun Tao and Qin Yang set up a tent together, Li Zhibao, Yu Tingting, Wang Lei and Hu Shengzhe were still thinking, discussing with each other from time to time, hoping to analyze a result and find clues to Kunlun Xu or Yu Ding.
It's just that the more they discussed, the more puzzled the look on everyone's faces became, and it was obvious that the mystery of the five-story heavy building had stumped everyone.
Xiao Ling listened to their discussion while helping to set up the tent, but unfortunately, no matter how knowledgeable Li Zhibao was, and how whimsical Yu Tingting was, he couldn't guess what secrets were hidden in this heavy building.
Venerable Mazha sat quietly cross-legged on the side, he neither participated in the discussion of Li Zhibao and the others, nor expressed his own opinions, but just closed his eyes, as if he was meditating, in Xiao Ling's opinion, this Venerable was mostly cultivating.
After the tents were all set up, Wang Lei raised his head, looked at the night sky, sighed, and said, "I hope there will be good weather tomorrow." ”
Li Zhibao saw him look up, and he also looked up at the sky, and suddenly he patted his knee lightly and said, "Look at you looking up at the sky, I just remembered one thing." ”
Yu Tingting said: "Old Li, what's the matter?" ”
Li Zhibao said: "It's not an important thing, it's that in that heavy building before, just a moment before Lu Weize was killed, I once saw two symbols engraved on the top of the stone above, and just recognized it, Lu Weize was attacked by Taiyin, and everyone fled desperately, so I forgot about it." ”
Yu Tingting's heart moved: "Two symbols, what are the symbols, Li Lao proposed them at this time, maybe these two symbols are very important." ”
Li Zhibao shook his head and said: "It's just the opposite, it's just two words of the Yu Dynasty, it doesn't mean anything, when the heavy building was built, maybe it was carved by an ancient person who was bored, but because of these two words, I can be sure that this heavy building should be built by the people of the Yu Dynasty." ”
Yu Tingting said: "Yu Dynasty's text? Since Li Lao recognized it, what do these two words mean? ”
Li Zhibao said: "The two symbols in the Book of Yu represent immortality. ”
"Immortality?" Yu Tingting, Wang Lei and Hu Shengzhe were all stunned.
Originally, when they heard Li Zhibao suddenly say that they had found two symbols, they all moved in their hearts, hoping that it would be a clue, but they didn't expect it to be these two words.
"Immortality...... Could it be that these two words have something to do with the secret of this five-story building? Hu Shengzhe frowned.
Wang Lei tapped the pipe in his hand lightly and groaned, "Immortal? It's just that the meaning of these five-story buildings will be related to immortality? Speaking of the legendary Kunlun Xu, it is the place where the gods live, and these immortals are naturally immortal. ”
While talking, he laughed at himself, thinking that the few of them were not ordinary characters, and he didn't expect a few people to get together and discuss for a long time, but he didn't see the meaning that this five-story heavy building left in ancient times wanted to express, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Yu Tingting muttered in her mouth: "Immortality, immortality...... Immortal ......"
His eyes gradually lit up.
Li Zhibao noticed the change in Yu Tingting's face, and said in his heart: "Less, did you think of something?" ”
Yu Tingting snorted and said, "I have a little immature idea, and I don't know if it makes sense." ”
Hu Shengzhe smiled: "What is it that is less than being polite to us?" Everyone is just discussing, this five-story heavy building has a history of at least thousands of years, but we can't underestimate the wisdom of these ancients, a heavy building, but we modern people who have thousands of years of knowledge are stumped. ”
Wang Lei habitually tapped the pipe in his hand, and said: "Yes, it's less than talking, we can listen to it as a reference." ”
Xiao Ling heard that Yu Tingting had new ideas, so he came over to listen.
Yu Tingting swept the hair in front of her forehead, sorted out her thoughts, and then said: "I just heard Elder Li say that there are two Yu inscriptions engraved on the fifth layer at the bottom, which represent the meaning of immortality, and I suddenly thought of the hundreds of stone statues on the fifth layer. ”
Li Zhibao hummed softly, did not speak, and quietly waited for Yu Tingting's next words.
Yu Tingting continued: "These hundreds of stone statues, most of them are painful, very vividly show the birth, old age, sickness and death of our human beings, this is also the place I can't understand, the ancients carved out these hundreds of stone statues with their hearts, is it just to show that we people are miserable in the world, and we can't escape the reincarnation of life, old age, sickness and death?" Or is it something else? ”
This problem not only troubled Yu Tingting, but also troubled Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei and Song Jifu, and Xiao Ling couldn't figure out the reason.
Hearing Yu Tingting's words, everyone nodded one after another.
Yu Tingting said: "Until Li Lao talked about immortality just now, I suddenly thought, this ancient man portrayed so many painful statues, is he lamenting the many disasters and difficulties in life, and it is impossible to escape death after all, and what he wants to express is the yearning for immortality?" ”
Everyone was stunned, Hu Shengzhe frowned slightly, and said, "Less, although your idea is a bit novel, isn't this too far-fetched?" ”
Yu Tingting hummed and said, "Yes, I think so too, so I'm hesitant to say it." But just now I thought of the murals of the ancient gods and demons carved on the second floor of the heavy building, if compared with the painful stone statues on the fifth floor, the ancient gods and demons on the second floor represent immortality. ”
Hu Shengzhe shook his head and said: "This statement is a bit far-fetched, what do the big hand statues on the fourth layer and the stone balls on the third layer represent." ”
Li Zhibao and Wang Lei did not speak, obviously thinking that Yu Tingting's idea was a little untenable, and agreed with Hu Shengzhe's views.
Yu Tingting didn't speak anymore, but just smiled.
Xiao Ling, who was listening to it on the side, moved in his heart, and suddenly said, "I think Sister Ting, what you said is a bit reasonable." ”
Li Zhibao smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, you also have ideas?" ”
Xiao Ling snorted, he had been thinking about the meaning of the five-story heavy building, and just now he listened to Yu Tingting's conjecture, although Li Zhibao and a few people did not approve, he had a little idea of his own, although he didn't know whether this idea was right or wrong.
