Chapter 220: Four Elephants Cover the Sky
On Yu Xia's answer sheet, there is actually a clear explanation on how to simplify the Seven Star Life Renewal Lamp.
That's the real reason for her extra points.
But when she was explaining the volume before, Mo Daochang intercepted her words and didn't let her continue.
Originally, Yu Xia thought that this was Mo Daochang's protection for her, and thought that she should not say the formation of the Four Elephants Covering the Sky in public.
However, looking at the current situation, it is clear that this is not the reason.
Yu Xia glanced at Old Lady Xu, although he had been forced to calm down since she came in, his hands had been trembling slightly, and his eyes had drifted to himself from time to time.
Yu Xia retracted his gaze, looked at Mo Daochang and smiled, "This is also something I unintentionally saw from an ancient book." ”
Under the gaze of the three people in the room, Yu Xia slowly said the next words.
The book says that Taiji gives birth to two yi, and two yi gives birth to four images, Taiji is one, which means chaos, and Liangyi refers to yin and yang, and the four images are derived from yin and yang. And the four elephants mentioned in that book are not the gods of the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger, and the Xuanwu four directions. ”
"Not the gods of the four directions?" Old Lady Xu was stunned, and when she saw Yu Xia looking at him, she restrained the look of surprise on her face again, and asked her with a smile, "What you said is simply unheard of, is there such a statement?" ”
Yu Xia nodded, "That's true, in fact, the four elephants did not refer to the gods of the four directions at the earliest, but to the four phenomena of the four seasons, such as the old yang, the young yin, the young yang, and the old yin. ”
"The book says: 'There are only yin and yang odd and even in Yi, and there are four elephants, such as spring for the young yang, summer for the old yang, autumn for the young yin, and winter for the old yin.'" But I don't know when it began, the four elephants became synonymous with the gods of the four directions. ”
The three people in the room listened to Yu Xia's words quietly, and no one interjected.
Old lady Xu's expression flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"In fact, these two meanings do not conflict, the four elephants cover the sky, is through the principle of the seven-star life-sustaining lamp, with the four hours and the four directions fused, the green dragon table Shaoyang main spring, the white tiger table Shaoyin main autumn, Xuanwu old yin main winter, Vermilion Bird old yang main summer."
"At the same time, the orientation of the four elephants is opposite to the five elements, East Wood, West Gold, North Water, South Fire, and the Middle Palace of the Earth Lord."
"The sun and the moon are easy, the rigidity and softness are equivalent, the four seasons of Tuwang, Luo Luo always, green and red, black and white, each living in one side, all of them are in the middle palace, and they are all meritorious. This formation is to use the four stars and the four seasons to change and the five elements to restrain each other, so as to achieve the effect of blinding the heavens, so it is called the Four Elephants Covering the Sky Array. ”
After Yu Xia said this, he stopped talking.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
"Anything else?" Old Lady Xu frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with what Yu Xia said.
Yu Xia looked at Old Lady Xu's eyes and shook her head affirmatively, "No." ”
"That's how the principle of this formation is introduced in the book I read, and as for how it is arranged, with my current strength, I can't do it. I think that the seniors have cultivated profoundly, and there is a seven-star life-sustaining lamp as a reference, plus what my answer sheet said, you should be able to give it a try. ”
Old Lady Xu's expression was still not relaxed, and he still wanted to ask again, but Chen Dao opened his mouth at this time.
"You're only a second-grade cultivator now, it's good to know so much."
Yu Xia smiled, "Hall Master Chen has won the award, I just read more books, and many things can only be read according to the book, but in fact, I don't want to understand much." ”
Mo Daochang nodded, "Okay Yu girl, calling you over at night will also delay your rest, it's not early, you go back first, tomorrow's meteorite stone inscription should take advantage of the opportunity, don't miss it in vain." ”
Yu Xia thanked Mo Daochang, said goodbye to Mrs. Chen Daoxu, and withdrew.
Seeing the door closed, listening to the footsteps outside the door getting farther and farther away, Old Lady Xu turned his head to look at Mo Daochang: "Old Mo Dao, what Fang Cai Yu said, is it feasible?" ”
"The direction and reason are roughly clear, but she still hasn't explained too much about how to operate, this ......" Old Lady Xu frowned, her face full of sadness.
Mo Daochang sighed and said with relief: "Among so many answer sheets, I won't talk about Nan Yatou, even the answer of Yi Geng is not suitable for your girl, so compared to this, only Yu Yatou's method is the most feasible." ”
"Isn't there still four years to go, let's study it slowly, and we can always find a solution."
"Old lady Xu, what Senior Mo said is that since you already have a general direction, there are still four years to go, and you can do a lot of things." Chen Dao also said.
Old Lady Xu sighed heavily, looked at Mo Daochang, and then fell on Chen Dao.
"Nephew Chen Xian, my family is Qinrong, and I have to take care of you a lot."
Chen Dao lowered his eyes, "Old lady Xu is serious, Qin Rong is my junior sister, my junior sister is in trouble, I am duty-bound." ”
October 15, the next Yuan Festival, three o'clock.
The winter morning is a little cool, even if the sun rises in the east, it can't dispel the gloomy meaning of withering everything.
The courtyard of Dengyun Tower is very lively.
The mystics have all gathered here.
Even with a group of Heavenly Star Sect disciples, they didn't stay everywhere as usual, but they all came here.
They were all here to see the lettering ceremony of the first three of the Xuanshi Conference.
The middle of the courtyard had long been emptied, and a meteorite stone covered with a red cloth had been placed.
There is a magic altar set up in front of the meteorite stone, and there are five kinds of tributes on the altar: incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits, and Mo Daochang wears a yellow Taoist robe and a black Taoist crown, standing in front of the altar.
As the sun shifted, so did the shadow of the sundial.
At four moments, righteousness is born and auspicious.
Mo Daochang took three incense sticks, lit them, bowed to the sky, and recited in his mouth:
"The Tao is learned from the heart, and the heart is pretended. Incense burning jade furnace, in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal is coming to Xuan. The order was closed by the ministers, and the path lasted for nine days. ”
After reciting the incantation, Mo Daochang inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner, turned around and removed the red cloth covering the meteorite stone.
"Alright, you can start carving your name."
The four people of Nan Nanxi, Yu Xia, Zhou Sixteen and Hua Ye respectively took the chisels prepared by the disciples of the Tianxing Sect, separated the four sides of the stone, and began to engrave the name.
As mentioned earlier, every time the meteorite stone is cultivated, it is almost enough for three people to comprehend the way of heaven.
And to leave a name on the stone, it depends on who carves it faster.
After all, those who finish carving first can be the first to comprehend the way of heaven.
When Yu Xia first carved it, he understood why it would be difficult to leave a name on the stone when South African Creek said before.
This stone may seem ordinary, but it is not. When the chisel touched the surface of the stone, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, making it impossible to enter.
Yu Xia ran the Qi Conduction Technique and transported the Yuan Qi to the bottom of his hand, and the chisel barely advanced for half a minute, leaving a shallow trace on the meteorite stone.
It seems that in order to make a name on this meteorite stone, you must cooperate with the Dao method you are practicing.
If you practice the evil law, you can't hide it from the Heavenly Dao, so you can't leave your name on the meteorite stone if you have evil cultivators before.
Yu Xia sighed as she stepped up the movements under her hands.
South African Creek has long had the experience of leaving a name, and this time it was the first to be carved, and then she pressed one hand on the meteorite stone, closed her eyes, and the whole person seemed to enter a state of concentration.
The remaining three people also finished carving their names at the same time, followed the movements of South African Creek, and pressed their hands on the meteorite stone.
Everyone in the audience looked at the four young people standing by the meteorite stone with their eyes closed.
What a rare opportunity, if you leave a name once, you can break through the bottleneck once, how many mysteries practice day and night, looking for and seeking, but they are always unable to enter in front of the bottleneck!
And Yu Xia, who pressed his hand on the meteorite stone and seemed to be as calm as everyone else, was not as calm as it appeared in his heart.
What's going on! Why didn't the meteorite give her the slightest feedback?
