Chapter 20 The Four Phases of the Origin and Heavenly Venerable
This distance is only about five or six meters, but if you step on the wrong step, the consequences can be imagined.
But fortunately, the feasibility of my idea was still enough, and I steadied myself along the rope and walked towards Liu Erhe.
However, the last thing I want to see happens.
Due to the uneven stamping of the four of them on this wooden bar before, I felt a little wrong when I stepped on it, and I tried to convince myself not to think about it, and just walked over it in one go, but this wooden stick was still not strong enough.
I looked up at Liu Erhe.
Liu Erhe looked at me firmly, and Yan Liang behind him shouted a slogan, wanting to pull me over, I grabbed the rope and rushed forward violently along their strength, and the wooden bar broke in response!
Because of inertia, my whole body almost flew sideways from the air, and my jaw was about to hit the edge of the cliff under their feet, when Liu Erhe Yanliang stretched out his hand and grabbed my hand and clothes.
Finally I went up, I was in a cold sweat, sitting on the ground looking at the brick layer and panting.
The three of us rested for a while, and then turned back to look for Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu was not on this road, and it seemed that he was running inside.
In the current situation, only one of the three guys brought by Lao Jiu survived, and if Lao Jiu is still in trouble, then we won't give him any more face.
In terms of fighting, I am definitely not good, Yan Liang should not be bad, but Liu Erhe is a good hand in our party; In terms of experience, Liu Erhe is definitely not good at being a reckless man, but he is obedient, although I have never been to the tomb or to the ground, if Uncle Gu is not there, only I can recognize the mechanism of the secret weapon, that Yan Liang's words, I have been here for a few years, and I also have a general memory of this mountain in my mind.
Almost all the advantages are on our side, if Lao Jiu still can't think of fighting with us to the death, even if he wins in the end, he can't get out of this place!
What does this person do is most afraid of having a hole card in his hand, once there is a hole card, let you be a card, and not afraid!
The three of us were all on the same page, and now we looked at each other and decided to see what we were at first.
I'm not afraid that Lao Jiu won't come back to us, the terrain here is complicated, only the two of them are outsiders, and if they take a wrong step, they will die immediately, not to mention the whole corpse, no one knows where this death went.
I turned on the flashlight, and helped my right leg, which was still aching, limped towards the thing we had seen before, at first we suspected that there was someone there, but now that we were closer, looking up, we could clearly see that it was a human-like statue, but the distance was still a bit high, and we couldn't see the specific appearance.
I walked to the stone arch pillar on the left, which was carved with an unknown beast, spiraling upward, like a unicorn and a dragon, I walked around the stone pillar, but I could not see the head of the beast on top.
I pointed to the top of the arch pillar and said my thoughts to Yan Liang and Liu Erhe.
"Oh my lord! When is this still a total of research this! Liu Erhe's head was full of sweat, frowning, and his face was long.
"I'm not like you, I'm only interested in this kind of thing." I kicked Liu Erhe and asked him to get up quickly and help me up.
He got up impatiently, and then knelt under the stone pillar on the left: "You just toss around!" ”
First, Yan Liang stepped on Liu Erhe's shoulder blades, and after standing firmly, I climbed onto Yan Liang's shoulder and stepped on it.
It was only when I was lifted into the air that I was able to see the appearance of the mythical beast at the top of the stone arch.
Although this stone beast is carved, the expression is lifelike.
The head has a dragon-like short horn, the side of the face has a whisker, like a bull's nose long in the middle, the phoenix eyes are kind, the neck seems to have a mane, showing a fierce appearance, and the waist and abdomen are mirage, with a fish body, but there are strong limbs.
After staring at it for a long time, my back suddenly felt cold, as if I had fallen into an ice cave 100 meters deep.
I remember that I had seen in a book before that there was an ancient beast called "Four Non-Phases", which was the mount of the Heavenly Dao Sage, that is, the Yuan Shi Tianzun.
It is a product of the early tribulation period of the Dragon and Han Dynasty, and he is the patriarch of the Qilin and the only son of the first Qilin.
Because the four are not similar to the dragon is not the dragon, the phoenix is not the phoenix, the unicorn is not the unicorn, and the turtle is not the turtle, but there is the power of the dragon, the nobility of the phoenix, the courage of the unicorn, and the spirit of the turtle, so the first unicorn gave the name "four unphased".
Soon after the end of the first tribulation of the Dragon and Han Dynasty, the Qilin clan declined. After the first qilin entrusted the four inconsistencies to the first Tianzun, his body turned into a qilin cliff.
During the battle of the gods, the Yuan Shi Tianzun decreed that the four should not be Jiang Ziya's mounts. One is to help the Western Zhou army defend against rare and exotic beasts from all sides; The second is to secretly protect Jiang Ziya.
Many modern people confuse the four dissimilarities with the four dissimilarities, believing that they are the same kind of creature. Actually, this is not true! The four are not like a unicorn, and the four are not like an elk, and the two cannot be confused!
Thinking of this, I looked at the stone sculpture in front of me again, but I was not sure if it was the four inconsistencies I thought.
I jumped off Yan Liang's shoulder, and the soles of my feet were numb, and I told them that I was going to look at the stone pillar on the other side.
Liu Erhe cried bitterly, only calling grandpa, and Yan Liang also rubbed his shoulders and grinned.
They knew very well in their hearts that only I knew the most here, and since I had asked for it, I must have found something.
Helplessly, the two of them walked to another place to set up a human stool and ladder for me.
When I went up, I noticed that there was a slight difference between the carving on the right and the left, the difference was in the horns, the left side of the unicorn beast had only one horn, and the right side had two.
When I saw this, I probably knew what I wanted.
The four do not belong to the unicorn family, but the head of the unicorn has always been a horn, and the four dissimilar have two horns, so when the ancients painted the portrait of the unicorn, they often drew a one-horned unicorn and a two-horned unicorn.
It was not until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty that Zheng He traveled to the West to reach the Malin Kingdom of East Africa (present-day Kilwa Kisiwani in Tanzania), and the local king felt the power of the Ming Dynasty, so he sent an envoy to China to offer a unicorn (giraffe).
This incident was a major diplomatic event at the time, and was widely praised by the imperial court and the people. Later, people defined the horns on the head of the unicorn as two.
So the two horns of the unicorn that we see now came from there.
Thinking about it this way, the two mythical beasts on this stone arch are: the left is the unicorn, and the right is the four incompatible, both of which are the unicorn family, and now they are carved together.
I wanted to climb up a little further to see what was carved into the stone arches, but it was too high to climb at all.
I jumped down and told both of them about my discovery.
How do you know that Liu Erhe was overjoyed: "You say so, there must be a unicorn here!" That unicorn Lao Tzu has only heard of it and never seen it alive, if this is caught, pull out a dragon horn from it, and draw blood to make medicine, then I will make a fortune! ”
"Legend has it that the unicorn can spit fire and call thunder, if you can cure this kind of guy, I will call you Ye when the time comes! You call me grandson! "I'm right to Liu Erhe.
"That's... That's embarrassing. Liu Erhe took it seriously, muttering to himself.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was about to take these two people inside, but I was blocked by Yan Liangyin's gaze.
I had never seen that look come out of Yan Liang's eyes, and I stayed where I was and froze.
Yan Liang's face was in the shadows, and only half of it was exposed.
"Why don't you talk anymore?!" Liu Erhe turned around and asked.
I made a silent gesture to him, and then followed Yan Liang's gaze.
I saw Lao Jiu and the bolt standing behind us, with their backs to us, but they didn't move.
Along the way, Lao Jiu's style I am a mirror in my heart, when the master is used to it, see who wants to call, this suddenly came to this Yongdao, people don't say anything, people are gone, this time suddenly appeared, things are a little strange!
I pulled the slinger out of my backpack and threw it to the longest.
Although Liu Erhe is the master who sees money and has bells and whistles in his mouth, if he really gets things done, he will be more stable.
When he saw Lao Jiu, he was angry, and after pulling out the machete on his waist, he slowly walked over.
Yan Liang was vigilant by nature, and after he went up to Yongdao, he always held a knife in his hand.
I slowly followed Liu Erhe, and I was about to approach Lao Jiu's back, when suddenly Lao Jiu turned around.
Lao Jiu's expression was dumbfounded, and he asked us in a daze————
"Look, there's something on my face?!"
