Chapter 115: Five Stars Gather
In order to verify the guess in our hearts, we did not stay here, but quickly pursued in other directions; Of course, this also takes into account the factor of finding the corpse control woman Liyu, otherwise, Xing Xiong would not be willing to explore with us. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, as I had expected, the whole catacomb could be roughly seen as a boxy structure, which was divided into five parts; The first part is the platform where the coffin is placed in the middle of the tomb, and the remaining four parts are in the four directions of the platform, which are the four pits we have seen along the way.
There is a huge stone sculpture in each pit, which is the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the red bird in the south, and the Xuanwu in the north; Those who know some history know that these four sculptures are the four mythical beasts described in mythological stories.
The description of the four divine beasts is also a common saying in history, and most of its meanings refer to the four divine beasts as the guardian gods of the four directions who guard the east, west, north and south of the home; That's why there is: "The green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, the four spirits of the sky, with the four directions, the king of the palace and the palace to take the law." This is a statement.
In Feng Shui, the meaning of the existence of the four sacred beasts in the tomb is different; At this time, the meaning symbolized by the green dragon in the tomb is no longer to help the tomb owner ascend to heaven, but to suppress evil spirits and protect the peace of the tomb owner's soul.
However, when I thought of the ghosts I had encountered in the tomb not long ago, I rejected this idea in my heart; If the function of the four divine beast sculptures here is only to deter evil demons and protect the peace of the tomb owner, then we shouldn't meet those tens of thousands of ghosts and ghosts here, what is wrong?
"Brother Tian, have you found it, these four pits are all connected to the above!"
The sharp-eyed forest can always surprise me at critical moments, I looked up in the direction of his finger, and actually saw a bright "star" on the top of the pit; If Lin Zi and I guessed correctly, the bright "stars" must be four football-sized night pearls located on top of the four pits; It's just that it's so far away that it looks like you're looking at the stars.
"Five stars in a row, the yin soul worships, eats its fruit and becomes an immortal! It must be so......"
When I saw the guiding "star" of the forest, I slapped my thigh, and my mind instantly figured out the ins and outs of everything that happened.
I vaguely remember that I saw this sentence from my grandfather's notes, and it is said that the five-star alignment is also called "five-star gathering". In the ancient astrological theory, the five planets of water, metal, fire, wood, and earth appeared in the same side of the sky at the same time, and this phenomenon was considered by the ancients to be an auspicious omen from the sky.
I don't know "Five stars in a row, the yin soul worships, eats its Tao fruit and becomes an immortal!" Where does this phrase come from? What's the matter? But its meaning is very similar to what we encounter today; After a person dies, the heavens descend auspiciously, and thousands of yin souls are worshipped, and the vitality of these yin spirits and the Dao fruit given by themselves will be absorbed by the tomb owner, and the tomb owner will become an immortal after absorbing the vitality and Dao fruit of tens of thousands of yin spirits.
The truth of this sentence is no longer verifiable, but I still believe that there is never a point in Grandpa's notes; Therefore, whether Li Zhi in the coffin has become an immortal or has already become a dry bone, I can only rely on guessing to make the next plan. Intuitively, I was still resistant to the huge coffin.
"Let's go!"
Although we have understood the feng shui layout of this tomb, and we also know that these four pits are indeed connected to the above, but the distance is too far for us to see the scene above the pit, so we can't see the current situation of Hu Yifei and Hu Laoqi; Xing Xiong beside him has been absent-minded, I know that he is worried about the safety of the corpse control girl Liyu, but it is just because Lin Zi and I have not shown it.
In addition to the four pits and four stone sculptures in the catacombs, all that remained were the bones of thousands of dead bodies; We tried to continue to explore, only to find that there was a hard stone wall in front of us, it turned out that this place was not as big as we thought, but because of the light moisture here, the light of the strong flashlight in our hands could not shine very far.
When I finally saw the motives of the owner of the tomb for building this large tomb, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in my heart; Since ancient times, in history, all emperors and generals have more or less had some beautiful longing for immortality; With the yearning for immortality after death, he made great efforts to dig mountains and mountains to build "tombs of eternal life" rich in various feng shui artistic conceptions.
It's a pity that when these so-called "tombs of eternal life" were excavated by later generations of gravediggers, all they found were the bones of the tomb owner weathered by history; Everyone yearns for immortality, but no one gets their wish, and they don't know whether such an ending is predestined or a godsend......
When I walked back, the bearded Xing Xiong walked very fast, and I could vaguely feel his eagerness and anxiety; But under the erosion of the foot injury, I could only rely on the support of the forest and barely keep up with him.
For some reason, those ghostly creatures haven't appeared since they disappeared, which makes me faintly worried; But I couldn't figure out where this worry came from.
Soon, it didn't take long for us to return to the place where the coffin had been placed; Under the light of the flashlight, the big word "longevity" written by the dragon flying and phoenix dancing at one end of the coffin looks particularly strange under the yellow vermilion lacquer on the surface of the coffin.
At this time, Xing Xiong was standing on the side of the coffin very abnormally, looking at the placket on the coffin in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking; And Lin Zi was standing beside him with his arms, and for a while, looking at the bearded and distracted, I didn't know what to say!
No one wants to speak on such an occasion, and the huge tomb suddenly seems unusually quiet, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling......
In order to break this tranquility, I began to look for a suitable place to open the coffin on the coffin; It stands to reason that this errand should be suitable for Lin Zi to do, but unfortunately Lin Zi dropped the chain at a critical moment and ran to the side to by.
Under the strong light of the flashlight, I could clearly see the appearance of the whole coffin; Although this coffin is huge, it is nothing compared to the strange sarcophagus above. The length is about five or six meters, and the height is only more than three meters.
