Chapter 559: Five Elements Gossip
A line of heaven refers to the path leading from the stone tree to the top of the mountain through a cave, and the part of the cave with the entrance facing up has only a small gap, which looks like it goes straight into the sky from below.
Zhuo Lefeng remembered that there was only one stone staircase facing upwards at the beginning, but now there were several artificial obstacles on the stone steps. It is said to be an obstacle, but in fact, it is a bond composed of several wooden sticks. If you're in other places, you can just step over and ignore them, but in a place like the One Lining Heaven, because the passage is narrow and the foothold is limited, you either have to sweep the sticks away, or you have to step on them carefully.
Most of these sticks are only a few centimeters long, and one detail that Zhuo Lefeng noticed is that these sticks are not exactly in a straight line and are always facing upwards. Some stone steps have one stick, while others have two. The orientation of these sticks is also different.
Squinting his eyes, Zhuo Lefeng took a breath and looked left and right, he read something meaningful.
Although Zhuang Zeyuan used the Five Elements to provoke the Anjing City Police before, although he did not succeed, this guy will definitely not be reconciled. Now that he is directly singled out Zhuo Lefeng, presumably he will not give up some traditions.
In the Five Elements Bagua, Bagua is a set of symbolic symbols in ancient China. Among them, "—" represents yang, and "——" represents yin, and three such symbols are used to form eight forms, which are called Bagua.
Now Zhuang Zeyuan deliberately placed wooden sticks on the stone steps, and the shape is similar to yin and yang, which is obviously not a coincidence.
The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the eight trigrams are Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui. Each hexagram represents a certain thing. For example, Kun represents the earth, Zhen represents thunder, Li represents fire, Dui represents rain, dry represents sky, Xun represents wind, Kan represents water, and Gen represents mountain.
Now that Zhuo Le Feng was located on the Stone Tree Mountain, surrounded by a stream, and there were similar yin and yang instructions on the stone steps, he expected that this should be a puzzle.
To be honest, Zhuo Lefeng is not proficient in the gossip of the five elements, he only knows a little bit about it. In addition, he has only seen some in some film and television dramas and novels. Now facing Zhuang Zeyuan's question, he is also at a loss.
But men are generally yang, and he still knows this. So after thinking for a moment, he raised his feet and walked towards the stone steps of "-" Yang. After walking past that rock, there is a fork in front. There are two signs of yin and yang at the fork, which is to let Zhuo Lefeng choose the direction.
Since he had chosen Yang at the beginning, Zhuo Lefeng would definitely continue, so he turned to the left, and after taking two steps, he saw a bamboo basket placed in front of him. There was a piece of cloth on the bamboo basket, and when Zhuo Lefeng saw this, he stepped forward to uncover it.
As soon as he looked at the objects inside, he immediately instinctively took a step back, his whole body was cold, and his eyes were wide.
Inside the bamboo basket turned out to be a snake, from the shape of the snake's head and the color of the snake, Zhuo Lefeng judged that it was a poisonous snake.
The snake's body poked out of the mouth of the bamboo basket, spitting out long letters. But it didn't crawl out of the basket, and it seemed to be caught in something.
Zhuo Lefeng looked inside from a distance, and he guessed that there should be something under the bamboo basket that was pulling the snake's tail.
But bamboo baskets and poisonous snakes are inexplicably placed here, apparently not just to scare people.
Circling around the bamboo basket, Zhuo Lefeng saw a note pressed on the stone behind him. Hurriedly picked it up and took a look, he suddenly scolded Zhuang Zeyuan hundreds of times in his heart.
"Ling Zun Lingtang has already taken the tea I prepared. The snake does not die, take the antidote. ”
If it is said to be tea, it is obviously poison. And the antidote is next to the snake, and Zhuang Zeyuan asks that the snake can't die! This is to make Zhuo Lefeng play with his life!
It doesn't look like a place to hide the antidote, so in the end, the antidote must be in the bamboo basket. However, if you put your hand directly into the bamboo basket, wouldn't it be directly sent to the mouth of the snake. Not to mention that the poisonous snake was even more restless because of the pull of its tail. This will be an absolute attack and will not be easily attacked.
Zhuo Lefeng will not make a rash move, and he also knows that Zhuang Zeyuan will not have a time limit. If you keep procrastinating, the consequences will be equally bad.
It's just that if the antidote is not in the bamboo basket, Zhuo Lefeng can't get the antidote and is bitten by a poisonous snake, wouldn't this be a loss for his wife and soldiers?
At this moment, Zhuo Lefeng really wanted to have multiple staff officers around him. Thinking of this, his mind suddenly moved. After the corners of his mouth trembled for a moment, he immediately picked up his mobile phone.
The call was still made to Jiang Junyan, because Zhuo Lefeng believed that Jiang Junyan would give him clues.
"After the yang road, how to get the antidote."
"What's that?" A clueless question made Jiang Junyan dazed.
Zhuo Lefeng briefly introduced some of the situation, and he would not explain the real purpose thoroughly.
Jiang Junyan had actually guessed that Zhuo Lefeng was in trouble, but he knew Zhuo Lefeng, and there must be a purpose for this without explaining it, so he only needed to help Zhuo Lefeng solve the problem.
It's just that Jiang Junyan is not very proficient in the gossip of the five elements, so let Zhuo Lefeng wait a while, and after looking for a while, he finally summed up something.
"The yang road points to the snake, and the snake is in the mountains. Have you ever looked at the location of the head of the snake? ”
"The head of the snake is facing me, and my current position should be due south."
"Gen represents the mountain, and the south is the fire of the four elephants, the mountain fire? By the way, snakes are most afraid of irritating things, such as realgar, such as smoke and fire. You see if there is anything flammable and smoke-producing next to you, try to set it on fire. ”
Jiang Junyan said this, Zhuo Lefeng really noticed that there were some fallen leaves and weeds next to him. It's just that this kind of mountain is full of fallen leaves and weeds, Zhuo Lefeng didn't care about it at first, but now it seems that there is really a mystery?
Hurriedly piling up these fallen leaves and weeds, Zhuo Lefeng managed to set them on fire.
Because these fallen leaves and weeds are relatively wet, it is difficult to ignite them, and even after ignition, the smoky feeling makes Zhuo Lefeng cough again and again.
It was also strange to say that these thick smoke could force Zhuo Lefeng to retreat again and again, and also made the snake look very uncomfortable. Not long after, the snake actually curled up back into the bamboo basket, and it no longer moved.
This made Zhuo Lefeng excited, thinking that Jiang Junyan really had two brushes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurriedly stepped forward and saw that there seemed to be nothing inside the bamboo basket, but there was indeed a hook hooking the lower body of the snake. The position of the bamboo basket is a little skewed, and it seems that something is pressed underneath. Seeing that the snake did not move, Zhuo Lefeng simply had the courage to move the bamboo basket to its lower position.
Sure enough, there was a hole under the bamboo basket, and a small medicine bottle was placed in the hole.
Zhuo Lefeng picked up the medicine bottle after checking that there was nothing unusual, extinguished the fireworks again, and then hurriedly continued to move forward.
There is no yin and yang to guide the way, but there is only one way up the mountain.
Zhuo Lefeng climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath and watched from a distance as someone was lying in the pavilion.
Ran over to see that it was his mother Lin Youhua, Zhuo Lefeng was anxious, and found that Lin Youhua's breath was weak, his face was pale, and his lips were slightly purple, which was indeed a sign of poisoning.
didn't hesitate, let Lin Youhua drink the antidote he just got.
At this time, Zhuo Lefeng was sure that Zhuang Zeyuan would not cheat, because he was a proud madman, and since he wanted to provoke the game, he had to act according to the rules of the game. Therefore, Zhuo Lefeng got the antidote according to the rules, and the antidote was bound to be true.
Sure enough, after resting for a long time, Lin Youhua recovered a little. When he opened his eyes and saw his son by his side, Lin Youhua hugged him and said, "Your father is still in that person's hands." ”
"I know, I know, Mom, don't worry, I'll get Dad back."
"You can't call the police. The man said that as long as you call the police, you will kill your father immediately. Lin Youhua wiped his tears as he spoke, "Son, what kind of madman is this!" Mom already knows that you are an undercover police officer, and she must have offended a lot of people. Mom and Dad support you, but Mom and Dad don't want to have an accident at home. ”
"Mom, don't worry, you'll be fine! These madmen, these criminals, I'm going to arrest them. ”
"So what now!" Lin Youhua wiped his tears again, "Your father and I came home yesterday, and suddenly felt weak and groggy and fainted. When we wake up, we don't know where we are. ”
Lin Youhua explained the general situation, almost Zhuang Zeyuan took the couple around in a big circle, and then let the two eat some poison.
In order not to let Lin Youhua be frightened, Zhuo Lefeng hurriedly took his mother down the mountain first.
On the way back, Lin Youhua also handed another note to Zhuo Lefeng. This is the next clue that Zhuang Zeyuan left for Zhuo Lefeng.
"Going around and going back to the original point, I have to do it! Amorous parting since ancient times, it can be even more cold to the Qingqiu Festival! Where do you wake up tonight? The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can you talk to? ”
Behind this is Liu Yong's Yulin Bell, and in front is a sentence. Previously, Zhuang Zeyuan used Li Bai's poems to lead to Dongfu Mountain. Now he took out the poem again, apparently pointing to a place again.
"Son, that person said, if I can't see you before four o'clock in the afternoon, then your father ......" Lin Youhua sobbed and trembled, "You must think of a way." ”
Although it is not yet noon, there is still time in time. But how did the huge city of Ankyo find the answer from this poem. And according to Zhuang Zeyuan's temperament, it is impossible for him to give Zhuo Lefeng enough time, obviously there are articles on this time.
didn't want to waste time, Zhuo Lefeng sent Lin Youhua home directly.
As soon as he arrived at Jixiang Street, he saw a familiar car parked outside. Jiang Junyan and Cao Yao finally waited for Zhuo Lefeng, and they also saw that Zhuo Lefeng did encounter ** trouble today.
Zhuang Zeyuan did not let Zhuo Lefeng call the police, but Zhuo Lefeng did not call the police. Jiang Junyan and Cao Yao are not police officers, and from the point of view of the rules, Zhuo Lefeng's phone call is not a violation.
Now that time is tight, Zhuo Lefeng really needs help, and he didn't want to hide it, so he told the matter.
Hearing this, Jiang Junyan and Cao Yao were also nervous. Because they know what Zhuang Zeyuan is doing, if they can't get to the designated place before four o'clock, there will indeed be trouble.
The three agreed to search separately and promised not to notify the police. But after looking for an hour, there is still no answer.
The anxious Zhuo Lefeng hammered the steering wheel in frustration, time was running out, he had to get a direction.
