Chapter 9: Huaqing Pond
The path is lined with stone pillars carved with all sorts of lifelike patterns, but no one can recognize what is on them.
The seniors have already set up their instruments, taking pictures of pictures, and taking samples of sampling.
Yue Qi walked to a stone pillar, reached out and stroked it, and the slightly cool touch was transmitted from the palm of her hand to her brain, making her brain suddenly become clear.
"It's just magical."
While those seniors were busy, they couldn't help but exclaim, and even Jun Zhi beside Yue Qi couldn't help but reach out and touch the white stone pillar, "Oh my God, it's so realistic." ”
"Indeed, in terms of human technology, this pillar is indeed a masterpiece of ingenuity." Jin Zhi walked behind Yue Qi at some point.
"Why aren't you with the seniors?" Yue Qi asked.
Jun Zhi saw Jin Zhi following him again, his eyes widened, "Why do you always follow us?" You won't have any intentions for my family's seventh month, will you? ”
As soon as Jun Zhi said this, not only Jin Zhi's face darkened, but even Yue Qi shook his head helplessly, "Jun Zhi, don't be like this, the senior is also kind." ”
Jun Zhi looked at Yue Qi with some surprise, this was the first time Yue Qi helped outsiders say that she ......, "Yue Qi, you?" ”
"Humph!" Jin Zhi snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the professor telling us to take care of you more, do you think I'd be happy to follow you?" ”
The corners of Yue Qi's mouth raised slightly, "I'm sorry, Jun Zhi has no malicious intentions." ”
Jin Zhi rolled his eyes, and a touch of disdain appeared on his serious little face, "You can also explore on your own, but don't leave my sight." After saying that, he turned around and left, and went to get together with those seniors.
"The seventh day of the month...... Am I saying something wrong? Jun Zhi asked with some weakness.
Sighing helplessly, Yue Qi shook his head, "It's okay, seniors won't be so careful, you can walk with me." ”
Yue Qi looked at a few pillars closely, and she was more interested in the patterns on them, which reminded her of various mythical beasts in ancient mythology.
For example, the lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, and ox tail carved on a pillar are very similar to the legendary unicorn.
For another example, the one carved on the opposite side of this pillar, the front and back of the deer, the head of the snake and the tail of the fish, the back of the dragon and the turtle, and the beak of the swallow-jawed chicken are very similar to the sacred bird Phoenix.
"Eh, the seventh day of the month, you see, what is this person who is not a snake or a snake?" I don't know when, Junzhi has already run to the front, standing in front of a pillar, and shouting Yueqi.
Her cry also alarmed Jin Zhi, and Yue Qi nodded to Jin Zhi and walked towards Jun Zhi's side.
There is a very strange thing carved on the pillar that Jun Zhi faces, a human face, but there are snakes from the neck down, "This ......" Yue Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, and he was really a little unrecognizable for a while.
"This should be candle nine yin." Jin Zhi appeared beside the two again.
Jun Zhi rolled his eyes, "Why do you always like to suddenly appear behind others?" ”
Jin Zhi ignored Jun Zhi, but looked at the pillar and explained to the two, "Candle Jiuyin is the legendary candle dragon, Zhongshan Mountain God, with a human face and a snake body. After a pause, he turned to look at Yue Qi, "I don't worry about you, so I'll come and take a look, I have said hello to Sibo and them, if you want to go inside first, I can accompany you." ”
Yue Qi nodded, "I'm troublesome senior." Walking up to the pillar with the candle nine yin depicted, "Why does it seem that there is a crack on it?" ”
The snake body of Candle Jiuyin has some fine cracks, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it, just now Yue Qiyi came all the way and observed other pillars, but did not find that there were cracks on other pillars.
"I don't know, there are no other pillars, there should be something special about this pillar." Jin Zhi had obviously also observed, and as he spoke, he reached out to those cracks and touched the traces of the cracks a few times, "This crack seems to have been born from inside." ”
Looking at Jin Zhi's hand, the crack had disappeared where Jin Zhi's hand was placed, but then the sun and the moon could see that there were still some faint traces of fragmentation under the surface, all the way to the cracks visible to the naked eye above.
"Forget it, let's go ahead and have a look." The seventh month had no interest in these pillars.
Jin Zhi nodded, and continued to walk inside with Yueqi, Jun Zhi followed behind the two of them with a blank face, she didn't understand what these two people said!
At the end of the pillar was a huge pool, and the diameter of the pool was about the length of a playground.
There is a circle of steps around the pool, walking up the steps, Yue Qi saw that the water in the pool had dried up, and next to Yue Qi, there was a stone tablet that was much smaller than the open space of the gate, which was also an incomprehensible text, but the three of them could know what it meant.
"Huaqing Pool? What is this place? Jun Zhi asked.
Yue Qi shook her head, ready to go to the bottom of this pool to have a look, but was stopped by Jin Zhi, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'll go down and have a look." Yue Qi pointed to the bottom of the pool, "I don't think this pool is that simple. ”
"Nope." Jin Zhi frowned and said, "Don't act rashly, what if there is danger underneath?" ”
Yue Qi stared at Jin Zhi, but saw that he had no intention of backing down, knowing that it would not do him any good if he continued to stalemate like this, so he had to give up, "Okay, then it's okay to walk around this pool, right?" ”
After walking for a while, they saw a pillar of the same material as the one on the path, but the pattern on the pillar was different, "This is a dragon on it, right?" "The seventh road of the month.
Jin Zhi nodded, "Yes, this is the legendary divine dragon." ”
The three of them looked at it for a while, and then walked forward, about a quarter of the way through the pool, and saw a pillar again, "Is this a bird on it?" Yue Qi glanced at it and said.
"I know, I know, it's Suzaku!" I kept watching Yueqi and Jin Zhi talk, but I couldn't interject the words, but I was suffocated by Jun Zhi, and I finally met someone I knew, and I answered excitedly.
Jin Zhi nodded, "It's Suzaku." ”
Next, the three of them saw the White Tiger and Xuanwu respectively.
"The pillars of these four divine beasts should be sorted according to the corresponding four directions." Yue Qi thought for a moment and said, "This Lingyuan Sect is all divine beasts, plus the twelve pillars outside, could it be that these divine beasts have any special significance to this Lingyuan Sect?" ”
Jin Zhi shook his head, "It's not just the divine beasts, I also saw gluttony and Qiqi, this is the second of the four fierce beasts, and there are some that can't be called." ”
"This Huaqing Pool is guarded by the four divine beasts, there must be some secrets."
