Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 20: Five Elements and Thirty-Three Heavens
Whether it is Yang Jin or those people thirty-five years ago, the clues of the other side of the flower all point to the pottery bowl, and our purpose is the other side of the flower.
The marijuana supported me, and the group returned to the altar, but the pottery bowl was not unusual no matter how you looked at it.
The water in the bowl is crystal clear, no different from calm water, how can it be possible to grow flowers from the other side?
There is also Luo Jin who said that the flowers on the other side that his second grandfather saw were in full bloom in an instant and were brilliant, so it is possible that the flowers on the other side are not real plants, I have not heard of plants that can emit light, let alone plants that grow in an instant.
"Could it be a projection? When certain conditions are met, the other side flower will be revealed. Liu Sanyan said.
It is not impossible, suppose that there is something in the pottery bowl that is not visible to the naked eye, such as fresh water, if it is not visible under normal circumstances, but it will emit brilliance when refracted by light, like a rainbow.
Luo Jin said: "Just try it and you'll know." ”
He shone his flashlight at the pottery bowl, trying far and near, but nothing unusual happened.
We also changed to several other light sources, cold light sticks, torches, etc., but unfortunately we found nothing.
It's really weird, did we guess the wrong direction?
Or is it that the flowers will only bloom at a certain time, and now is not the time? Then we'll have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
"Anyway, the flowers on the other side are in this bowl, so we just put the pot on the pot and move it back to study it slowly." Marijuana scratches the cheeks and scratches the ears.
Liu Sanyan smiled and said: "This glorious task will be handed over to you, marijuana, I am optimistic about you!" ”
It's like a bathtub, how can you move out of the narrow cemetery? Do you have to open a bigger thief hole?
Luo Jin looked at the pottery bowl carefully, thought for a while and said: "The holy water of Huangquan is said to never be exhausted, this reason does not make sense, there must be a water source to replenish, maybe we can find the source and crack the secret." ”
This is similar to what I thought, I thought that there was a cat under this pottery bowl, but I couldn't move it.
"I jumped into the bowl before, splashed a lot of water, and also alarmed the ghost mother, and when the ghost mother retreated, the water in this bowl was full again, I think the source of the water should not be too small." I say.
Liu Sanyan said: "Why don't you scoop up the water, let's take a look?" ”
"Will you invite the ghost mother again?" Miss Luo said worriedly.
It really gave us heart palpitations, and I almost died before, and I don't want to do it again.
I found that Luo Jin had been observing Xiao Mu and seemed to be on guard against him, but thinking about it, I am afraid that Luo Jin knows more about Xiao Mu.
However, Xiao Mu was still lazy and deadly like he didn't care about anything, and I couldn't help but whisper to him, "Do you remember anything?" ”
Xiao Mu seemed to think hard for a while, but still shook his head.
What happened to this dog's day? Is it because he was stimulated too much and lost his memory, or because he entered the bronze coffin of the third world?
I've been in it too, but so far I don't seem to be feeling well, is it because I've been in it for a short time or because the time for the attack hasn't come yet?
"Otherwise, the injured comrades will withdraw first, and let's try to scoop the water dry, even if we alarm the ghost mother, maybe we can run." Liu Sanyan proposed.
But I always feel that the ghost mother is not that simple, or that it is not so simple here.
At first, I lost my mind and jumped into the pottery bowl, Xiao Mu thought that everyone was dead, if the ghost mother could only drive insects such as hell ants, it shouldn't be difficult for Xiao Mu to escape, so Xiao Mu pointed to the death of something else?
Maybe something more dangerous happened back then, and it stimulated Xiaomu too much, so even if he lost his memory, he subconsciously felt dangerous.
I stopped them, stared at the pottery bowl and said, "Don't rush to scoop up the dry water first, I always feel that something is wrong with this Yellow Spring Holy Water." ”
Liu Sanyan smiled and said, "Could it be wrong, the bowl is full of your shadow from a few hours ago, it's not weird." ”
After hearing this, Luo Jin hurriedly asked what was going on, and Miss Luo briefly told him what had happened before.
At first, Luo Jin also felt that something was wrong with this pottery bowl, and when he heard Miss Luo say that this bowl could reflect the projection hundreds of meters away, he immediately took a flashlight to re-illuminate the holy water of Huangquan.
After I saw the light, I finally understood why something was wrong, the water was not reflected!
I looked up incredulously, and met Luo Jin who was also shocked and glanced at me.
Under normal circumstances, when the water is clear, there will be a reflection when there is a light source, but this Huangquan holy water does not, I say it always feels a little strange.
After telling everyone about the situation, everyone rushed over curiously to see that the water was indeed not reflected.
Luo Jin frowned and said: "In the "Jingtian Feng Shui Order", it is said that 'water without roots, disaster without source, use the law to field, and take the east as a catastrophe'. Is this the water of rootlessness? ”
I asked curiously, "What is rootless water?" ”
I've only heard of rootless water, such as dew, rain and snow, or whatever, that is, it is not a water source that comes out of the ground, but I have never heard of rootless water.
Liu Sanyan replied: "Rootless water refers to the water of the earth that does not touch the sky, it is the source of all dark scourges, and it can't be seen compared with the same water, even if people drink it, it's fine, but the rootless water can attract all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, I said why are there so many corpse butterflies and corpses here, it turns out that this thing is the trouble." ”
"But that's not right, doesn't it mean that the layout of the game is very strict? I don't see any special feng shui bureau here. Liu Sanyan was puzzled again.
Marijuana said disdainfully: "Don't you just put the pot water, and you're still paying attention to it?" ”
Liu Sanyan said: "This is really true, a few years ago I saw a rootless disaster with my own eyes. It was winter at that time, the weather was cold, I went to Henan with an old watch to step on the plate, you all know that stepping on the plate are all to the deep mountains and old forests, one day we missed the accommodation, the sky was snowing again, just met a collection of museums, but we can only go there to avoid the wind and snow. ”
The line of stepping on the plate is usually divided into two kinds, one is to wander around aimlessly, mainly to some remote mountain villages, collect some old objects to pick up leaks, and ask some old people about the stories that have been handed down or something, which is called a live slipper.
There is also a purposeful way to inquire about the news you want, that is, you know which ground has a bucket from a certain source, but you can't determine the location, so you go to find out the situation in advance, this is called a ground mouse.
The term "museum" is the term of the older generation, and this word is basically not used now, but it is used more in old China, and the museum is a place where corpses are temporarily parked.
In that chaotic era, there were many people who traveled north and south for a living, and many people died on the way, and these strangers couldn't even determine their identities for a while, let alone return to their roots. But you can't always expose the corpses in the wilderness, no matter how you say it, it's a matter of accumulating yin virtue, dig a pit and bury it simply, and if you don't want to do much, notify the locals, and someone will concentrate these corpses in a deserted temple, an old house in the mountains where no one lives, or simply build a grass shed to protect from the wind and rain, this kind of place is called a museum.
The museum is usually in a remote place far away from the living, and to put it bluntly, it is full of lonely ghosts, and no one wants to provoke it.
"The museum is still a two-entry blue brick house, but it is very dilapidated, there is nothing valuable, and even the doors and windows have been demolished."
"There is a well dug in the middle of the yard, but the well was built with a tile shed, and a porcelain was hung in the middle, no matter how many times it is an object of the Qing Dynasty after all, six or seven hundred is still worth it, but my old watch does not let me touch it, saying that this is used to collect rootless water, and it is unlucky to touch it."
"I know more about this aspect, and said that the person who put this game is a master, planting persimmon trees in the south to block the sun and wind, digging a ditch in the west to drain the yin qi, and the north for the ghost to lead the way, and leaving the yang gate in the east to rob it. This kind of decoration can attract evil insects to protect the corpse, and try not to let the corpse be taken away by wild beasts as much as possible, leaving a whole corpse, which has great merit. ”
Liu Sanyan's meaning is very clear, that is, there is no root and no trouble, you can't put it up indiscriminately, you have to pay attention to it. But this altar can't see any feng shui bureau formation, Liu Sanyan said so much just now, it's all about accumulating yin and scattering yang, three sides and one shortage, just like the ancient siege of the city, you have to leave a way for the people in the city to live, otherwise the people in the city have no way to retreat and can only die with you to the end, even if you capture your own side, you will suffer heavy losses.
But here on the left and right sides are cliffs, there are eighty-one ghost pawns robbing the road in front, and there are three bronze coffins blocking the way, and even there are soul-breaking iron cables on the head to suppress it, which is a dead end at all.
Luo Jin said: "If this is the ancestral land of the Tsubaki Dong people, then there must be a layer of burial Tsubaki Dong tombs, judging from the scale of the stones collected on the road, this tomb group is estimated to be not small, it should be the last layer of the underground." ”
Indeed, the scale of quarrying on the side of the stone bridge is not small, and the important thing is that we have not seen any other coffins here except for the third bronze coffin, and judging from the waste materials, there are many sarcophagi.
"If in feng shui, the 'field of edict' refers to this altar, then 'the east is the robbery' is the only entrance." Luo Jin took out a compass and kept adjusting the direction to determine the direction.
This cemetery hexagram is like the main soil, the direction is northeast, the corresponding number is eight, Kan is water, exchanged for gold, the fundamental inference, Luo Jin quickly confirmed that the east position is the third bronze coffin.
Liu Sanyan said: "I have really heard of the saying that the coffin is in the shade and the door, which means that some tomb groups will choose a fierce person to guard the door and make the deceased comfortable. ”
I said, "Then you can't knock down the bronze coffin of the third world, right?" Why don't we take a shovel first and see if it's empty underneath? ”
The bronze coffin of the third world is too weird, I don't want to touch it if I can touch it, and the ghost knows if it will invite anything strange.
Luo Jin put away the compass and said: "I also think that don't move the copper coffin for the time being, the last batch of people must have guessed that the entrance was there, but they didn't move it, either they couldn't move it, or they couldn't move it." ”
"Didn't you say that they alarmed the ghost mother and suffered heavy casualties? Maybe I'm afraid that I'm going out in chaos, but I can't figure it out below, and we can still eat two mouthfuls of soup. Liu Sanyan couldn't wait to knock down the copper coffin immediately to see if there was a group of tombs below.
Just as we were arguing about whether to push the coffin directly or under the shovel, Xiao Mu silently walked to the edge of the pottery bowl, grabbed the edge with both hands, and lifted the pottery bowl with both arms.
I hurriedly said, "Don't try, I've pulled it before, and I can't shake it at all." ”
But Xiaomu didn't stop, the green tendons on his neck appeared, and the pottery bowl really moved.
It turned out that Xiao Mu did not lift up, but turned up counterclockwise, only listening to the sound of "clicking" mechanical gears, marijuana they saw this and hurried over to help, just turned a moment and turned "click", Xiao Mu motioned for us to stop.
Xiao Mu took a flashlight and shone it, I saw a misty blue reflection in the bowl, and it looked very familiar, isn't this the mirror Feng Shui Temple? How is it possible to see here?
Liu Sanyan shouted: "Damn, this bowl can't be a surveillance system, right?" Being able to spy on the rest of the tomb is too much of a hack. ”
It's really funny when he shouts like this, but how the hell does he do it? Could it be that there are different paths at the branch points of civilization development? That is to say, we are taking a scientific and technological civilization, and there was another similar road in ancient times, but we were lonely?
In order to prove, we continued to turn the pottery bowl, and when it was stuck on another scale, the reflection in the bowl appeared a scene of a corridor, and the picture was a spiral-shaped tomb road, which should be the multi-flail road that Luo Jin said, that is, the group of people who entered the square thirty-five years ago.
We were in a state of interest, and this is a good thing, and maybe it will be able to see how we can get out safely.
We turned hard, but no one noticed, every time we turned a moment, the third bronze coffin sank, we saw the front and back sides of the mirror Feng Shui tomb from the pottery bowl, the reincarnation hall, and the flail road.
Before I knew it, the bronze coffins of the three generations had all sunk into the ground.
Unconsciously, when we turned the pottery bowl again, there was a loud "bang", and the whole altar shook, and in a panic, we quickly stopped and looked around.
There was a piercing sound from the mechanical sound, and I saw that the altar under the vibration popped out bronze railings on all sides, more than two meters high, and it was engraved with the ghost mother text that Liu Sanyan said, and the roots were as thick as an arm.
"Not good! Get out of the altar. Miss Luo shouted, and just as we were about to climb over the bronze railing, the whole altar suddenly sank down.
"Damn, it's dead now." I don't know who shouted, and we hugged together in a panic.
Fortunately, the descent was not too deep, and the altar was resisted, and after focusing on it, it flicked upwards, and we were bounced on our backs.
When we calmed down, we found that there was a huge group of tombs down there, and we were in the middle of it.
The whole group of tombs is in a circle, and we do not reach the bottom of the burial chamber, but the altar falls to the top of a huge stone pillar, surrounded by a bottomless abyss.
This was apparently designed, and the altar fell just before it could fall onto the stone pillar.
"Oh my God, this is the Five Elements and Thirty-Three Heavens, and there is really something legendary!" Luo Jin, who has always been calm, sighed, shocked and incredulous.
"What are the Five Elements and Thirty-Three Heavens?" I was puzzled, except for Luo Jinhe, who had always been calm and unfazed, everyone here looked confused.
Luo Jin said while looking: "Everyone knows the Five Elements Theory, the earliest Five Elements Theory does not refer to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but attributes everything to the five items of water, fire, wood and earth according to the nature of Runxia, Yanshang, Curved Straight, Congleather, and Grain, and then from these five changes it is simplified into gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and then there is the theory of mutual growth and mutual restraint. ”
"You see, we are in the center of the circle, which is the beginning and the end, from the top down, there are bridge railings leading to the mountain wall at intervals, this bridge railing should be the Bagua Bridge, and the stone pillar under our feet should be the road to death."
"Have you seen it, there are many holes dug in the mountain wall, it is a coffin pit, ancient books record that the thirty-three heavens can only be buried by people with great merits, and the further down they go, the greater the merit, and they can transcend the suffering of reincarnation, be reborn from dry bones, and achieve true immortality."
I took a photo, and here is about 20 meters from the shore, and a vague coffin can be faintly seen on the mountain wall, which is stored in a hole carved in the mountain wall.
The position of those coffins is the same as that of modern floors, with regular and neat chiseling, two or three meters between each floor, and the middle is smooth and chiseled, and I don't know how those coffins were put in in the first place.
Not every empty nest has a coffin, the above is more cheats, and it seems that the further down the eye can see, the more empty there are.
Liu Sanyan shouted excitedly: "Do you see that those coffins have not been opened?" I'll go over and see what's good. ”
After speaking, he inserted an ordnance shovel into his waist and carefully stepped onto the suspension bridge.
This suspension bridge is very narrow, less than half a meter, paved with bluestone slabs, each of which is the same length, almost fifty centimeters, Liu Sanyan tentatively stomped a few feet, it is very strong, and it should be no problem to bear the weight of a normal person.
Liu Sanyan tried it, and after thinking that there was no problem, he lifted the waist of his pants and planned to officially hit the road, but was pulled by Xiao Mu.
"What?" Liu San looked at Xiao Mu suspiciously.
Without squeaking, Xiao Mu knocked down a few stones from the edge of the altar, weighed them a few times, and threw them at the stone slabs.
He threw it with great precision, and each stone hit a bluestone slab, making a dull sound, which seemed to be not small.
The first, second, third......
When we were all a little baffled, Xiaomu had already thrown out the sixth stone, only to see that as soon as the stone fell, all the stone slabs on the suspension bridge made of bluestone slabs sank down, and the tiled ones became erected, which made us gasp.
"If the gossip bridge doesn't find a pattern, it's sent to death." Xiao Mu said lightly.
I thought there was a harvest, but the coffin was close in front of me but far away in the sky, out of reach.
"Then do you know the rules of this gossip bridge?" Liu San looked at Xiao Mu with blank eyes, it is impossible for the duck to let it fly, let alone him, I have a little regret.
Xiaomu shook his head and stopped squeaking.
Luo Jin said: "There is no fixed law for the Bagua Bridge, but according to the designer's will, each Bagua Bridge is set up at least eight mechanisms, and there are forty-nine bluestone slabs from here to there, which means that there is almost a trap within five or six steps." ”
"This mechanism is not difficult to crack, for example, we can put a material on the bluestone slab that can suppress the rebound of the slate, but unfortunately we don't have it now."
It's simple and crude, but it's not like we're out of the material.
I took two shovels and propped them on the bluestone block with my hands, as long as my hand pressed on the shovel, the slate could not be easily turned over, so that even if I stepped on it, I could press it back as long as my hands were forceful.
