Let's put down the unlucky third prince and don't talk about it.

Here Baozi and Roland had already packed their bags, and regardless of the dark sky, they hurried towards Xuanwu Lake. With the guidance of the deerskin Gutu, the journey is much more convenient. According to the map mark, the way to go over the mountain is to save half a day's journey than the main road, which undoubtedly won time for the rescue of the third prince. As you enter the hinterland of the mountains, the trees gradually become taller and denser, and you can see towering birch and old poplars everywhere and dense turns of native larch, and the thickness of the humus layer formed by weeds and fallen leaves is also increasing.

Roland asked as he walked: Brother Baozi, this deerskin map seems to be more than just pointing the way, otherwise how could the owner of the tomb enshrine it so high.

Baozi said: Of course, I heard that there are many fairy caves in this Luding Mountain, and it reached its peak in the Manchu Dynasty, and the heavens also noticed that the dragon was angry here, and thought that it needed to be managed, and set up a state and county office in Xuanwu Lake to handle the heavenly procedures for the spirits and ghosts and beasts who ascended to immortals, but human eyes are invisible. If a person wants to cultivate immortals, the best way to cling to the immortals is to find various caves and offices to communicate with each other, which requires spells to make the caves appear. And each cave has its own unique codeword, only when the right spell is recited in the right place, people will be visible, and they will treat this person as their own. I heard my grandmother say that the deerskin scroll was first made by the Oroqen sorcerers, and later when the heavenly court recovered the princes of this place, it was also used as a pilot map, and it was a regular combat map used by the heavenly soldiers and generals, so it was a holy relic, similar to the water measuring ruler of King Dayu. Those who get the deerskin scroll can even call themselves heavenly soldiers, and the little fairy and little monster are the only ones who see it. If you want to cultivate immortals and attain the Tao, it is naturally not a problem.

Baozi and Roland climbed over a mountain beam, and suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, and their vision instantly widened. Although the night is hazy, the vast black soil covered with snow is still unobstructed in front of you. The wind was strong on the top of the mountain, and Roland was shivering from the cold, so Baozi carefully took off his scarf and put it on for Roland, and he took the deerskin map to find the location of Xuanwu Lake, where the River Temple Mansion was located. In a sense, it is already the next day, September 29, which is the day when the third prince was cut and taken from Dan.

"Xuanwu Lake is formed by the convergence of three major rivers, don't look at the name of Xuanwu, in fact, it is not in the Xuanwu position, it is the core area of Luding Mountain. Legend has it that there is a naturally formed Bagua Array under Xuanwu Lake, and it moves according to the changes of the sun, moon and stars, which is also the core of the feng shui of the entire Luding Mountain. When Tianting chose the address of the temple, it had a special favor for Xuanwu Lake, so it set up the River God Mansion here. The establishment of the River God Mansion obviously occupied the interests of the Dragon Clan, who were in charge of the waters, so the Dragon Clan also saw the move and established the Hanging Dragon Mansion on land to fight against the River God Mansion. The Hanging Dragon Mansion is powerful, not only escaping the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty court mage slaying the dragon, but also in the last three hundred years, the Manchu Dynasty will unify the country, and the heavenly court will also have to be in awe, so the River God Mansion can only be dispatched by the Hanging Dragon Mansion under normal circumstances. ”

"Brother Baozi, I don't understand, immortals are all people who are beyond the red dust, how can they be like human beings, all kinds of competition and oppression?"

"Competition and bullying are also the way."

"Dao?"

"Yes, you see the natural world, the weak eat the strong, fight each other, straightforward and murderous. People come from the Five Elements Heaven and Earth, and it is naturally impossible to transcend. Cultivating immortals is actually cultivating these ways, understanding these principles, and understanding the operating principles of all things is considered to be an immortal. ”

"My understanding of immortals is still vague, you see that Huang Xian is an immortal, the hanging dragon is an immortal, and Taishang Laojun is also an immortal, they are all immortals, why is the gap so big?"

"The grade differentiation of immortals is very obvious, and the grades are also very strict. Immortals are the high-energy forms of human beings, which are different from the "gods" after losing their physical bodies, and they are divided into five categories: heavenly immortals, immortal immortals, earth immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals. The strongest are the "Heavenly Immortals", who come from the Dao, not humans, without human form, who give birth to a new universe according to the Yuan Shen Realm, and guide sentient beings towards supreme attainments with an unquenchable body, such as the Yuan Shi Tianzun; And the "immortals" are cultivators who leave the physical body and exist in the universe in the form of consciousness, which is also very powerful, such as Taishang Laojun. ”

"I always thought they were all at the same level!" Roland was clearly interested in the subject.

"Earth immortals are cultivated with the realm of the entrance as the boundary, to put it bluntly, they can't go to the sky, they cultivate in the earth realm, and share a three-dimensional space with all things, they have a physical primordial spirit but are extremely long-lived. This is what the Buddha should respect when he sees it, and many dragons are such immortals. Human immortals are immortals formed by enlightened and enlightened human beings, such as the Eight Immortals, the God of the Stove, the God of Wealth, and so on. And the ghosts and immortals are the lowest, and they are the ones who have participated in the Dao and cultivated the Dao Method. They must first overcome their animal nature, reach the height of human nature, and then start from human nature to realize the Tao and participate in meditation. During this period, if you don't cultivate or have evil mana, it's easy to evolve into a monster. And the upper realm is also extremely contemptuous of these loose cultivators, and they are ruthless in suppressing them. It is not easy for the five families of foxes, yellows, whites, willows and gray in the Northeast to transcend animal nature, reach human nature, and be able to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and be recognized by God. ”

Luo Lan was far from having so much common sense of cultivating immortals in Xinjiang, and she was fascinated by it, her eyes wandered into the distance, and the scene that appeared in her field of vision surprised her, "Brother Baozi, look!" Following the direction of Roland's finger, Baozi saw the sporadic bonfires in the fields in the distance, like stars scattered in the dark night. There is no one here, who lit so many fires here?

"Brother Baozi, since there is a fire, we might as well go over and rub some warmth." Roland suggested that Baozi look at the map and indeed not deviate from the direction, so the two of them trekked in the direction of the firelight.

When I got closer, I realized that there was something strange about the fire.

The nearest fire was surrounded by seven or eight people in blue overalls, wearing silver aluminum helmets, and a large amount of luggage was placed on the side of the fire, and everyone was talking enthusiastically around the fire, and some of them were holding large tea jars with the words "Songyu Field" printed on them, and inside was a rice bowl with fragrant shredded meat. But the buns can neither smell nor hear what they say, as if it were a silent movie! The bun shook his head vigorously, but he still couldn't hear it. "Do I have ringing in my ears? Or did you just get centipede poison? Baozi asked Roland, and Roland said, "Brother, in fact, I can't hear either!" ”

When I got closer, the fire was the same as the fire in the red sweater man's house, without any temperature! Baozi politely asked one of the oil workers who was talking, "Uncle, is there an oil field here?" The man didn't pay attention to the bun at all, didn't even notice the bun's arrival, and still talked with the people around him with great interest, although there was no sound. Baozi reached for the oil worker's shoulder, but his hand passed through his body.

Is this an air-projected movie? Baozi and Roland stood in place, and Roland said, "Brother Baozi, there is a fire in front!" The two of them ran to another fire, and there were also four or five people around, stretching out their hands to bake the fire, each of these people leaned on a 38-type rifle on their shoulders, and the German Mauser C90 repeating pistol was inserted in their waists, and some of them had the standard Wang Ba box of Japanese officers on their waists, but all the pistols were sharpened off the crosshairs, and the barrel was rubbed to reveal the primary color of stainless steel. These people's hands were black and shiny, their faces were unkempt, they looked like they had not been washed for a month, each of them wore a dogskin hat with a flipped fur, a dirty and shiny yellow cloth military uniform, no rank, and a few large Manchurian fur leather boots stuffed with ura grass on their feet, and a few potatoes were roasted in the fire. This is also a silent film.

Roland hid behind the bun "Devil!!" ”

"The fire is warm in the chest, and the wind is cold in the back, they are the old opponents of the Kwantung Army, the old Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation."

"Oh my god, this isn't a ghost? If the old anti-union were alive, he would be a little older than my father. ”

The two of them passed through the center of the fire and continued to explore.

Under the fire, a group of men in green cloth robes, braided hair, and women with messy hair and unkempt spears and spears were roasting the fire, surrounded by a flat pole made of thick bamboo, with luggage rolls and cheap household goods, and a few children jumping around the fire. Two men resembling patriarchs, holding a crude map drawn with a brush, pointed and pointed. A few older children, wrapped in pancakes with ivory shallots, ate with relish. This is a typical Shandong family in the eastern part of the country. Still silent films.

Countless fires, from the liberation to the pre-liberation, from the Republic of China to the Qing Dynasty, and even the Jurchen tribe, the Dajin country patrols, the Oroqen herdsmen, and even the primitive ancestors, all kinds of people are lifelike, and the two children have passed through it like watching a movie.

"Brother Baozi, are they ghosts?" Roland was a little worried. Baozi took out of the bag and turned on the radio, adjusting all the channels from beginning to end, almost all of them were contentless radio waves.

"No," Baozi guessed, "I'm mortal now." You know, when mortals see ghosts, most of them are ghosts who take the initiative to adjust the channel and deliberately let people see them. But at the moment, these people are not, they are just videos. ”

"Who left these images in this place?" Roland muttered that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained.

Baozi said, "I have read some books that record that when lightning or other specific natural conditions, the light signal can be changed into a magnetic signal, recorded on a magnetic object, and when the conditions are satisfied, these magnetic signals will be displayed and become an image." For example, the haunting of the Forbidden City last year. Someone saw the image of the ancient palace maid shuttling on the red wall of the Forbidden City on the night of thunder and lightning, and after the research and interpretation of scientists, it was caused by the above reasons. It's just that the Forbidden City records only a short section, and here is a complete and long-term record, which is incredible. ”

"In other words, there's an incredibly huge magnetic stripe here?" Roland said it had to have the capacity to store such a huge amount of movie footage.

"It's hard to tell," Bun shook his head.

"Different times, different types of people, all together...... Roland muttered, "they have one thing in common!" ”

"Fire!" Baozi said categorically, "This large magnetic stripe can not only record, but also sort, and put the same kind of images together!" ”

After speaking, he took out the compass and carefully checked the current position against the deer skin diagram, "This is the location of the hexagram." Leave the hexagram main fire. "The location of the main fire, there are images related to the fire. So there are eight main locations in gossip, are there similar images that appear elsewhere? Baozi looked around, and there was a ghostly silence in the vast black night, only a firelight here.

"Today is...."The bun takes into account the time variable. Roland replied "In the early morning of September 29, 1984 lunar calendar"

Baozi further speculated, "Today is the gold in the sea of life, and the sun is the master of Gengjin." The golden day is prosperous, and the fire is burning, what does it mean to overcome gold with fire? ”

Roland speculated, "On the day of the Great Gold, someone chose the fire position and used the virtual image of the fire to make a great divination, the intention was to balance the excessively prosperous gold, that is, to overcome the gold with fire, to prevent the occurrence of gold today?" ”

Baozi said, "Jin is too prosperous, the lord is upright, and it is easy to see sword soldiers." ”

Roland nodded, "So who is so diligent and uses the method of showing movies every day to balance the five elements?" ”

Baozi smiled, "Hehe, the reincarnation of the heavens is changing with each passing day, if there is really someone who ponders these things every day, he would have died of exhaustion." I think this must be the mastermind of the Heavenly Dao and the automatic operation. That big magnetic stripe is like a precision clock. It is automatically adjusted every day, and the five elements restrain and promote each other, so as to pursue balance and ensure the stability of the five elements pattern of Luding Mountain. The people in these images are real, they have passed in the Xuanwu Lake's sphere of influence, they have been automatically recorded by the Xuanwu Lake, and the five elements are stored separately. According to your father, there are countless time adjustment spirals under this Xuanwu Lake, adjusting people and things that need to happen at a certain time. ”

Roland said, "Movie camcorders and tape recorders rely on magnetic stripes to record images, and there may be a huge magnetic field under this Xuanwu Lake, and the lake surface is a huge lens, and under certain conditions, the camera will run on its own and record history." ”

Baozi had never seen a camera and didn't dare to comment, he had just figured out the principle of the tape recorder. Baozi feels that in addition to the five elements gossip, he has very little knowledge reserves.

Roland added, "The five elements change every day, and almost every day there is a decline and prosperity, so Xuanwu Lake has to constantly balance the various hexagrams every day." ”

Baozi didn't want to think about it too much, and said, "Come on, let's also help this big gossip plate do some work, let's really light the fire, it will take a few hours until dawn, don't freeze." Roland tilted his head to look at Baozi, "Brother Baozi, I feel that you rarely joke with people." ”

Baozi gathered the dead branches and scattered leaves and said, "No one taught me, I grew up, and the people around me were more serious than the other." It's okay to be a flower, and I rely on flowers to tease the stuffy child every day. ”

Roland was empathetic, "Although I have only been here for one day, I can see that Sister Hua is really unusual to you." ”

Baozi didn't look up, "You city kids, eye thieves." ”

Roland asked, "Will you be together?" Future. ”

The bonfire was lit and became a cluster of ghost fires, the light of the fire reflected the faces of the two children, and Baozi held a small stick and played with the flames..... What will it look like?" He muttered to himself, "In the future, everyone may have a telephone in their hand, and they can call, make telegrams, and write letters to their loved ones wherever they go." ”

Roland smiled, "How is this possible. ”

The firelight reflected the flashing eyes of the buns, and the determined eyes that shot straight out looked out of the mountain. You dead cabbage, heartless, pretending to be a little Taoist aunt is still addicted?
