Chapter 114: The Self
Tang Anshu immediately raised his head and looked at the top of the cave as if there was something, but he had to tilt his head back to see it, which was very difficult.
"I can't see clearly." Tang Anshu looked at it for a while, rubbed his neck and said.
"It's beautiful." Benzoin looked at the top of the cave and reached out to pat his side, "You come here, lie down, lie down and you can see clearly." ”
Tang Anshu stood there hesitating, after all, he had just gotten up, but Benzoin had no scruples: "Hurry up!" ”
Tang Anshu had to lie down, and after lying down, he looked at it and found that the night sky appeared on the dome at the top of the cave, and there were countless stars in the night sky, and the strangest thing was that although those stars looked white, whenever they flickered, they flashed with dark red light.
"Look, it's beautiful." Benzoin sighed.
"yes." Tang Anshu also looked at the night sky of the dome, "It's so beautiful, but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere." ”
Benzoin said disdainfully: "Bragging, right? Have you ever seen such a spectacle before? ”
Tang Anshu shook his head silently, searching for memories of the past in his mind.

In the Heavenly Dome Cave where the three of Gu Feng were located, the three of them also discovered the secret of the dome, so they lay side by side on the ground and watched carefully, but the three of them, who knew nothing about all this, could only lie there and enjoy it quietly.
"Turning into a dragon." Li Zhaonian put his hands on his head, "I remembered the time when I was in my hometown in the past, when I watched the stars with my neighbor's Xiaohua." ”
Tang Hualong looked intently: "Me too." ”
Gu Feng also nodded: "Me too." ”
Li Zhaonian was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Gu Feng: "Sir, the girl in your neighborhood is also called Xiaohua??? ”
"Pretty much." Gu Feng recalled there, "Her name is Ah Hua." ”
"Oh-" Li Zhaonian continued to look at the dome.
Tang Hualong said: "My childhood sweetheart's girl is called Xiao Ahua. ”
After speaking, Gu Feng and Tang Hualong both laughed, and Li Zhaonian knew that the two were teasing themselves, and just wanted to say something, but found that Gu Feng looked at him and realized that the other party was the chief, so he quickly swallowed back what he was about to say.
"Seriously." Tang Hualong smiled, "I haven't looked at the stars so quietly for many years. ”
Li Zhaonian sighed: "Forget it, don't look at it, the more I look at it, the more homesick I become, I haven't been back for a long time." ”
As he spoke, Li Zhaonian turned over and lay on the ground: "I don't know when I will be able to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhaonian suddenly saw something on the ground, he reached out to pick up the dust under him, and blew it with his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Feng hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Sir!" Li Zhaonian pointed to the ground and said, "There seems to be someone underground." ”
Gu Feng and Tang Hualong immediately got up, looked down at the ground, and really found that there seemed to be two figures underground, and then the three of them hurriedly tried to find a way to get rid of the dust and mud on the ground, and then they could see clearly that the surface seemed to be made of glass, crystal and other things, and it was completely transparent.
Gu Feng squatted down and looked at the two people on the ground carefully, and found that the two of them were not moving, and they were dressed very familiarly, and it didn't take long for Gu Feng to finally see who those two people were, and subconsciously said: "Tang Anshu?" Ah Xiang? ”
As soon as Gu Feng said this, Li Zhaonian and Tang Hualong reacted, but they couldn't understand what was going on? Why are they underground?
Tang Hualong banged on the ground: "Why are they underground?" ”
Gu Feng looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "No, they are not underground, they are lying on the ground on the other side, just like us just now." ”
"Huh?" Li Zhaonian was stunned, "We are also lying, and they are also lying?" That's impossible. ”
Tang Hualong also understood: "What is in front of you, what is impossible. ”
Gu Feng touched his chin and thought for a while, then looked up at the dome again: "I understand, this cave is like an egg, it is split in two from the middle, so there are two upside-down heavenly dome caves. ”
Li Zhaonian pointed to the ground and said, "Sir, are you saying that the cave where Tang Anshu and the two of them are located is upside down?" So how can they stand firm? ”
Gu Feng shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”
At this time, Tang Hualong suddenly said: "Maybe, it's not them who are upside down, it's us?" ”
Gu Feng and Li Zhaonian were both stunned at the same time, and then they both squatted down and knocked on the ground, trying to let Tang Anshu and Ah Xiang on the other side find them.

Tang Anshu's head, after careful recollection, he finally remembered what it was: "Demon Star Full Phase Diagram!" ”
Benzoin shook her head: "What is the demon star holophase diagram?" ”
When Tang Anshu was about to explain, he saw Benzoin looking at him sideways, looked at her face full of doubts, and couldn't help but smile: "You wait, I'll organize the language and try to explain it to you in the vernacular at one time." ”
Benzoin couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, coughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait." ”
"There was an astrologer in the Tang Dynasty named Qu Tan Siddha." Tang Anshu looked sideways at Benzoin and said, "He wrote an astrological book called "Kaiyuan Zhanjing". ”
Benzoin frowned: "Qu Tan Siddha? What a strange name. ”
Tang Anshu said: "His ancestors are Tianzhu people, that is, Indians, his 120 volumes of "Kaiyuan Zhanjing", of which 110 volumes are about astrology, and the remaining 10 volumes are about occupancy, this set of books has been lost, but in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar named Cheng Mingshan, when reshaping the golden body of the Buddha statue in a temple, accidentally found that there is an ancient book manuscript in the Buddha's belly, so "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" was able to see the light of day again and has been handed down to this day. ”
Benzoin nodded: "Then the demon star holophase diagram you just talked about is from this book?" ”
"No, the demon star holophase diagram is redrawn by later generations according to the records recorded in the "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" and Li Chunfeng's "Yi has been occupied", the most peculiar thing is that there is only a picture, without any text description, although it is regarded as a heresy on the surface, but most of the astrologers are regarded as treasures in private." Tang Anshu raised his hand and pointed to the dome, "You see, the one in the east with a sharp tail is called Tianqi (bang), and it is recorded in the book that the fifth right of the Purple Palace is called Tianqi." ”
Benzoin pointed to the other side: "What about that?" The pointy, spear-like one. ”
Tang Anshu said: "That's called the heavenly spear, it appears in the northwest, the one over there that looks like a person, the cangyi and the naked head are called Tianchong, and the white and red one in the west is called Zhaoming, these are all demon stars, and the demon stars are roughly divided into the essence of the year's star, the essence of the glow, the essence of filling the star, the essence of Taibai, the essence of the star, etc. ”
Benzoin asked again, "Why is there a demon star holophase diagram?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head and said: "The ancients said that the country will have the defeat of the way, and the sky is the first to send out disasters to inform them, so astrologers believe that the demon star is a variable star caused by the change of the five elements of qi, although the shape of the demon star is different, but the same thing is that as long as the demon star appears in the sky, it will definitely bring disasters to the world, so observing the sky and measuring the demon star has become the focus of lifelong research and attention of the ancient astrologers, especially the astrologers who serve the royal family, and the demon star holophase diagram has a role in addition to predicting disasters, that is, to suppress evil spirits. ”
Benzoin frowned: "Demon Star Suppression of Evil? ”
"Although it is said that evil does not prevail over good, legend has it that some evil things that are extremely difficult to deal with must be countered with evil." Tang Anshu said and looked at the dome, "Therefore, in some demonic places, there will be people who carve out the full phase map of the demon star to suppress it. ”
Benzoin also looked at the dome: "So, this place was excavated and built to suppress evil spirits?" ”
Tang Anshu nodded and said, "I guess it must have something to do with the epidemic of the corpse wind." ”
While he was talking, Tang Anshu looked around, and Benzoin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "I seem to hear something?" ”
Benzoin listened for a while, then nodded, "I heard it too, it's quite dull, it sounds like someone is knocking on something." ”
The two followed the source of the sound, but found that the sound came from the ground, Tang Anshu and Benzoin squatted down and listened for a while, after glancing at each other, they reached out to pick up the dirt and dust on the ground, and as soon as they opened a place, Tang Anshu and Benzoin clearly saw Gu Feng's face with an anxious look appeared underground.
Tang Anshu and Benzoin were both startled, stood up at the same time, and were stunned for a long time before they looked at each other again, and squatted down again.
Benzoin looked at Tang Anshu suspiciously: "What's going on?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head, looked at what Gu Feng was saying below, thought about it, waved his hand, pointed to his mouth, opened his mouth, and said word by word: "Read the lip shape." ”
Gu Feng below raised his hand to signal Li Zhaonian and Tang Hualong on both sides to calm down, and after paying attention to Tang Anshu's mouth shape, he paused, and calmly said his speculation and analysis word by word.
After Tang Anshu effortlessly finished reading Gu Feng's lips, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the dome: "The upside-down Heavenly Dome Cave? It makes sense, if it weren't upside down, how could Adjutant Gu be underground? ”
Hearing this, Benzoin drew an egg-shaped circle on the dirt next to her, and then drew a line in the middle with her hand: "It should be like this, right?" But since it is upside down, how can Big Brother Gu stand still? ”
Tang Anshu looked at the picture and shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I don't know if it's us or the Gu adjutant who is above." ”
Benzoin looked helplessly at Gu Feng with the same expression on the ground, and then looked at Tang Anshu together, and the only person he could count on at the moment was him.
Tang Anshu also knew that if he solved the mystery in front of him, he would not only be able to reunite with Gu Feng and the others, but he might also be able to find out the true secret of Jinling Jian.
When Tang Anshu's eyes refocused on the pattern drawn by Benzoin, he found that there seemed to be words next to it, so he immediately leaned over and wiped off the surface soil there, and found that a paragraph was really written in it-
His Holiness asked me how to do it, and he said, "The one who seeks me is you." The outer Taoist said: "This is me, where is the teacher?" He said, "Thou shalt ask me to find it." ”
After reading it, Benzoin was even more confused than before, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Tang Anshu touched the text and said: "This passage is from "Water Moon Zhai Refers to the Moon Record", the Venerable here refers to the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, named Mahakasa Ye Venerable, and the outer way refers to a sect other than Buddhism, the meaning of the text is that the outer Tao asks the Venerable, how is it me and me? His Holiness replied, "The one who is looking for me is yours and me." The outer Tao said, "This is me and me, where is my me, Your Holiness?" His Holiness replied to him, "The one I asked for when you asked" was the one I was looking for. ”
