Volume 1 The Mystery Mountain of the Big Dipper Chapter 26 Inside the Hokuto Castle (Part II)
Shen Yifan and more than a dozen other people were also fascinated when they saw the fairyland in front of them, and they were unwilling to leave. Everyone decided to camp on the edge of this cliff to rest. There was an abyss on three sides, and they came here to break out of a blue brick house, which was considered safe, and they set up the only two tents left.
The two tents were not very large, one for three women, and the other had the remaining men to sleep in it, and the rest were on guard by the campfire outside.
The temperature here is very pleasant, and it feels like it's close to early summer, probably because it's not far from the volcano, so everyone doesn't notice the cold in the mountains.
Jack doesn't seem to have any feelings about losing a lot of teammates, it should be a habit he has developed in this dangerous environment for many years, and he is in harmony; The three cows and the two burned picnic food together, probably because they were both soldiers, and the three of them had a very good relationship, and the three of them talked about interesting things when they were soldiers. Bat and Motor, both hackers, are the technicians of the team, and the two of them are using their portable electronic devices to find signals and contact with the outside world, but it seems that this place has lost contact with the outside world, and it is a completely isolated world. Gujie and the expert belong to the kind of people who are more playful, and the two of them are more lively together than a big show, and the two of them are talking to each other about what are the three huge monsters in the river that they just saw? Shen Yifan looked around the camp and made sure that everything was okay before returning to the campfire.
At this time, the three ladies also changed into clean clothes and came to the campfire, and the three of them were uniformly dressed in the standard clothing of the expedition, earthy yellow hunting clothes, cargo pants and hiking boots, with an earthy yellow baseball sun hat, and the waist short beat highlighted the graceful and delicate body curves of the three ladies, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery in this fairyland picturesque.
The bat came to Jin Jiyu, shook his head, sat down, and said, "The magnetic field here may be too big, and all the electronic devices can't function properly, so you can't contact Robin. ”
Shen Yifan said: "My compass doesn't work here at all, I think we're not far from the magnetic field." ”
Murong Wan'er said: "It was written in the Murong family's diary that Qi Chungang's palace was built on the highest mountain in Beidou Mountain, and he was very obsessed with flying immortals in his later years, so he built his bedroom at the highest place. ”
Shen Yifan looked at the sheepskin map of the Murong family and said: "According to the celestial star feng shui, the Big Dipper, also known as the Seven Star Beads, is a constellation that we can see with our eyes, and it is also a symbol of the rights of the ancient emperors and generals, and I have paid great attention to this point all the way." Legend has it that the Great Big Dipper has seven peaks, each of which is proportional to the position of a Big Dipper. It may be a mistake in our understanding of the Great Beidou. Shen Yifan continued: "The Big Dipper will change in the operation of the earth, so it is impossible to have symmetrical seven peaks, and the so-called corresponding Big Dipper is just the pattern built here by ancient people corresponding to the Big Dipper." ”
Shen Yifan opened the sheepskin map, clicked a black dot on the empty position, and said: "We see that the mountain in front of us should correspond to the Dimensity Star, which is also what we often call the Lucun Star." According to Feng Shui, this astrological sign is the appearance of great fortune and nobility, generally if it is an emperor, it is unlikely to build a palace in this mountain, but if it is a minister below, it is a blessed land. ”
The expert pointed to the towering mountain on the opposite side and said, "You mean that the opposite side is not the palace of the King of Min?" ”
Shen Yifan nodded and said, "Tianji generally mastered the astrology technique of the celestial phase among the ancients, so I guess that the buildings and pavilions on the opposite mountain are all Taoist halls or danfangs or the like. ”
The expert said, "Mommy! The King of Min is not a thing, just build a big project like a broken Taoist temple, so don't the palace of the King of Min become a wonder of the world? ”
Shen Yifan said: "The Seven Star Beidou is for the greedy wolf, the giant gate, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, Pojun and Zuo Fu and Right Bi. The greedy wolf is the pivot on behalf of the penetration, the giant gate is Xuan, the queen should be the harem here, Lu Cun is the king, the immortal represents the mastery of the heavenly machine should be the Taoist temple, the Wenqu is the power on behalf of the power, it should be the palace of the King of Min, the incorruptible and the balance represents the balance between the imperial power and the people, a force is the rich class, Wuqu is the yang represents the Shouyang, here we can think of it as an officer in the army, and the army should be a soldier in the army. Beidou City is arranged according to the class status of the Seven Star Beidou, which should be Wen; Covet; Large; Blessing; Military; Break; Honest. ”
The expert interrupted Shen Yifan's words and said, "Then what are you talking about, what are you talking about?" ”
Shen Yifan said: "Where we are now will be left and second, and the right side should be the corresponding south, that is, the direction of Juemagou, which should represent the lowest class after the seven classes, ordinary people and slaves and the like, including chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and other animals." According to this deduction, the Juma Ditch we see and now this place are not within the scope of Beidou City. ”
The expert seemed to understand a little, nodded and said: "There is a mountain in Juemagou, and what we are staying in now is also a mountain that belongs to the Seven Stars, so the mountain we see opposite should be Tianji Mountain." If we say that, we don't need to go to every mountain, we just need to find Wenqu Mountain directly. ”
Shen Yifan looked at the mountains and mountains opposite and said, "It is estimated that it is not so simple. Unless we have helicopters. ”
According to Murong Wan'er, the highest one among the nine mountains here is the sleeping palace of the King of Min, and the mausoleum of the last King of Min in the legend is under this kind of mountain.
The night breeze gently swept across Shen Yifan's face with a warm current, he looked at the crescent moon in the distance, and the whole person fell into thought, for him, how to walk from here to Wenqu Mountain is a problem, he doesn't know what problems he will encounter later, he looked back at the tent of Jin Moyu and Wan'er, and felt unprecedented pressure.
At this time, he heard the sound of 'um-' under the cliff, and then he could hear the sound of a large water ripple scratching, he felt very curious to look at the edge of the cliff, and saw that there was a river under the abyss, and the mountain they saw was actually born from the water, at this time, the distance in front of his eyes was ten meters deep and the moonlight was shining, and a huge fish was swimming slowly, and from time to time it made a long chirping, the so-called huge should be extremely huge, and the back of the fish was like a swimming hillside.
"Holy! Is this a kun? I don't know when the expert has already said behind Shen Yifan's back: "There is a big fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, and if you cook it, you can make a pot." ”
Shen Yifan said: "This Beidou Mountain is also strange, what you said is very right, it seems to be a world in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." Sakurajima, Yinglong, Golden Toad, Mosquito, and Kun. It's like a fantasy world. Before Shen Yifan finished speaking, he saw countless huge kun on the river swimming into the distance, slowly heading forward with a long chirp.
At this time, a huge strange wind rushed towards them, and in the morning, they saw that the two giant snake monsters also rose from the surface of the river, flapping their wings and flying away.
The expert said: "As soon as you say that these two monsters are really like Ying Long in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." ”
Before the expert's words were finished, he saw several huge old turtles floating on the river, and the old turtle with a golden body was also among them in the morning, but it was actually the smallest one, an old turtle with a body like a mountain was surrounded by several big turtles and swam slowly into the distance.
At this time, Ying Long didn't attack the old turtle in the sky, but flew away by himself, and it seemed that all the animals here were going in one direction for a while. At this moment, there was a burst of drums and piano music from the opposite mountain, accompanied by a very rhythmic sound of bells.
At this time, everyone was awakened by the sound of music and ran out to watch. The expert patted Shen Yifan and pointed to a dark mountain in the opposite direction and said, "You see that there seems to be a light lit up there." ”
Shen Yifan suddenly thought of the city with lights that the black shadow man said, could it be there? As soon as I was in Siding, I saw that the courtyard behind them also began to be lit up, and the Lucun Mountain opposite, which was like a fairyland, was also brightly lit, and it seemed that when the music sounded, an ancient city would all wake up.
Shen Yifan used a telescope to look at the direction where the animals swam, and three rivers converged into the center in the distance, and there was an island on the river in the center, on which an extremely magnificent palace was built, and there was also music with drums and drums, and at the same time, a full moon rose from the river to cover the island, and on the high platform of the palace, you could actually see an ancient woman dancing with a pipa in her hand.
"Wonderland. It's a wonderland. These can only be seen in Wonderland. The expert shouted from the sidelines.
Shen Yifan thought for a while and said, "Quickly pack up your things." Let's go. There is danger here. ”
As he spoke, he heard hissing sounds around them, and when he looked back, he saw that they were surrounded by countless tiny spiders. At this time, everywhere they could see was crawling with spiders, on the walls, on the ground, and on the roof. They surrounded Shen Yifan and the others, but they did not have the momentum to attack. While everyone was still rejoicing, they heard the sound of banging in the distance, and when they looked closely, they saw that several huge spiders were coming towards them in the distance, hissing and roaring at them.
Everyone suddenly pulled back to reality from the illusion, looking at those spiders nervously one by one, the little spiders heard the roar of the big spiders, and they all approached Shen Yifan and the others, Shen Yifan naturally knew that this was not a good sign, and hurriedly called everyone to prepare to break through. The campfire was ignited by solid fuel, and a lot of unburned solid fuel in the bonfire was directly scattered with a kick of all the fuel that had been ignited, and a wall of fire was formed between them and the spider colony.
Jack jumped over the wall of fire first, but within a few minutes he flapped his body and ran back, saying, "It's full of spiders outside, and you can't get through it at all, and those giant spiders are guarding outside." ”
Shen Yifan hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone. See if there's anything to burn. As soon as the word "west" came out, he saw that Sanniu and Fangzi had already burned a tent and threw it into the spider colony, and they heard the sound of beeping horns and spiders being scorched. For a while, the spiders did not dare to move forward, and were blocked behind the wall of fire by the flames, but everyone found that the liquid of the scorched spiders could extinguish the source of fire, and many spiders still rushed towards the wall of fire one after another, watching the wall of fire being extinguished little by little.
Shen Yifan said: "These are fine spiders that reproduce very quickly, and they are carnivorous insects. Although the large number is not poisonous, once it is attacked by a group, the consequences are the same as encountering marching ants. We have to get out of here. ”
Jack sprinkled all the solid fuel in front of them at once and lit it, and the wall of fire suddenly rose by half a meter, but this was only temporary, and it would soon be extinguished by the corpse of the burned spider, and if it was to get out, there would have to be a bigger fire.
Shen Yifan looked around and shouted, "The pillars of these houses are pine. ”
Everyone immediately understood the meaning, although pine is a good material for making house pillars, but there is a disadvantage that it will not set fire, once ignited by the fire, pine will produce a large amount of pine oil to help the fire, saying that Sanniu and Fangzi set fire to another tent and threw it directly into the house, most of the ancient houses burned together with wooden structures, and it will spread throughout the street.
It worked wonders, and when the first house was set on fire, the fire soon spread to the second, and the third building basically burned down the entire street.
Everyone didn't bother counting the supplies, each carrying their backpacks, and rushed directly towards the flames. When the fire spread, those huge spiders also kicked back, and a few of them were pressed under the collapsed bricks and tiles before they had time to run, and Shen Yifan took a closer look at those spiders with yellow-black markings, and a distorted human face on their stomachs. Now I didn't dare to stay for a long time, and I looked at it and ran into the distance.
Jack still took the lead, holding a bottle in his hand, looking like a spirit, and when he saw a spider attacking, he took the spirit in his mouth and spewed a ball of flame with a torch to resist the attack. Everyone didn't know how much distance they had run, only to find that there were only a few fragments of spiders here, and they were relieved after they stepped to death.
Everyone stabilized their minds and laughed when they looked at their blackened faces, Shen Yifan looked around again, and suddenly thought that the black shadow man had another explanation for him: "Try to find a high place to camp." When he looked around, he saw a hill in front of him, and immediately said, "Let's go up the hill." ”
Saying that, everyone climbed up the hill, looked at the street like a fire dragon not far ahead, and was relieved to make sure that those spiders would not come again, and then looked at the materials brought out this time, which can be regarded as a serious loss, except for a bag of food and firearms, there are also mountaineering equipment and lighting equipment, and nothing else has been brought out.
Everyone sighed, and it had to be like this.
In order to escape the attack of the spiders, everyone set fire to an ancient street in Beidou City, which had a miraculous effect, and those giant spiders and thin spiders were surrounded by fire, and it was safe to disperse and flee, but what I didn't expect was that this fire actually had an effect.
Shen Yifan stood on the hill and could see the buildings of the entire residential area, as Murong Wan'er said, this residential area is a labyrinth layout that is not very large but very exquisite, each street building is the same and divided into nine areas, according to the nine palaces in the array, the principle is somewhat similar to the nine palace gossip, but the difference is that there are many small roads in the four main roads of all streets, in fact, the way to get out is on the path, and the only thing that can mark the path is the stone bar under the flagpole. The stone bar should have been a notice board at the earliest, and the direction of the road should be indicated on it, and once there is a war, the notice board will be directly dismantled and the people will be evacuated, and the army can be defeated by ambushing here.
Shen Yifan could see that in fact, the road they walked was very close to the way out, only one row of houses on each street was a pine structure, and after the fire spread, the wooden houses on the adjacent streets were also ignited, and in the dry environment, these flames spread very quickly, all the wooden structure houses were all blazing, and it could be seen that the flames of a fire dragon and a half were spreading very regularly, this should be the way out.
The expert still looked at the fairyland scenery that could not be seen from the roots in the distance, looked at it and said, "What a heaven and a hell." ”
Murong Wan'er asked with some curiosity, "Why are some animals here normal?" Like the herd of wild horses and these spiders that we see. Although this spider is dangerous, we still know it within the scope of science, but some of it is like a fantasy. ”
