Maybe this is the trial of the gods, a trial that mortals can't understand at all, don't look at the only three stone plates, but there will be endless results when they turn each other, even if we have time, we can't solve the mystery here even if we spend our whole lives.

Ye Jiuqing scratched the thinning hair on the top of his head, looked at me and asked, "Kunlun Jinque, have you been there, and you saw the Hetuluo book on the turtle's back inside?" ”

I nodded, I don't know why Ye Jiuqing suddenly asked this, Ye Jiuqing stared at the stone plate on the ground for a long time, slowly shook his head and said to himself what is wrong.

"Dad, what do you think is wrong?"

"The grievances between the ancestral gods and the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace have also been around for thousands of years, since the Hetu Luoshu was passed down to the Yellow Emperor by the people on the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, the Five Elements Bagua of later generations evolved from these two things." Ye Jiuqing looked us back and forth. "Do you think that the ancestral god will use the things left behind by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace?"

I didn't think of this for a while, the demon country is also the mausoleum of the ancestral god, if I am the ancestral god sleeping here, there will be a regret that the ambition is not rewarded, chasing for thousands of years and getting nothing, in his own mausoleum, it is like using the enemy's things, that is not a smile and generosity.

"Uncle Ye, what do you mean is that the pattern on the stone plate does not mean the five elements?" The palace lord also seemed to be a little skeptical.

"Surely God will not allow anything that no mortal man can tolerate." Ye Jiuqing said.

"But gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are indeed the five elements." Tian Ji was distraught.

"Who told you that gold, wood, water, fire and earth must be the five elements, it's just a preconceived idea, and gold, wood, water, fire and earth should represent other meanings." I rubbed my forehead, and I was sure that it would definitely not be the Five Elements.

I walked back and forth a few steps, yin wood, yang wood, yin water, yang water......

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the foundation of all things, and each of them is divided into yin and yang, but if you take it literally, there are really other interpretations of these gold, wood, water, fire, and earth that are divided into yin and yang, such as yang wood refers to the south of the mountain, on the contrary, yin and wood give birth to the north of the mountain, and the yin and yang here refer to the direction.

In addition, there is also the two fires of yin and yang, which are the categories of pathology of traditional Chinese medicine, including yin and yang and two waters, but there is no connection between them.

"There is another explanation for the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth that are divided by yin and yang." Wen Ru finally said unhurriedly beside him, he had nothing to do with himself all the way, and it was estimated that now that the demon kingdom was close at hand, he was too eager to get there, and he was also trying to find a way to break the mechanism.

"What's the explanation?" I asked.

"Earthly branches."

"Earthly branches?" I frowned slightly, a little unresponsive.

"Yin Mao belongs to wood, Yin is yang wood, Mao is yin wood, and Wu Si is fire, noon is yang fire, Si is yin fire, and so on, if the gold wood, water, fire and soil are divided by yin and yang, it is just twelve earthly branches." Wen Ru told the story.

I suddenly realized, I didn't expect the twelve earthly branches, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I hurriedly looked at the three stone plates on the ground, and was surprised: "What Gong Jue said before is not wrong, these three stone plates represent eternal reincarnation." ”

"It's not that the ancestral god won't use the things left over from the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, since it's not the Five Elements, the previous inference should be wrong." Ye Zhiqiu looked dazed.

"The Five Elements are just the evolution of later generations, of course the ancestral gods will not use the things of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace here, and eternal reincarnation has nothing to do with the Five Elements at all."

"Why?" The palace lords were a little unsure.

I smiled faintly and explained to the others that in fact, the patterns engraved on these three stone plates are not complicated, the first is the innermost two, as Wen Ru said, the patterns in the twelve regions represent the earthly branches.

It just coincides with the reincarnation represented by the outermost stone plate pattern, and the so-called earthly branch refers to Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

Starting from the son, the meaning of the child is the grass and tree seeds, absorbing the water in the soil and coming out, which is the beginning of the germination of a yang, and then the ugly, which refers to the grass and trees budding in the soil, bending and about to emerge from the ground, approaching the Yin, representing the bent plants and trees in the cold soil, stretching from the ground in the spring sun.

The back of the Mao is the sun in the east, the meaning of all things, and so on, the twelve earthly branches actually symbolize the alternation of yin and yang, with noon as the boundary, when the yang energy is the most abundant, the yin energy begins to sprout, to the last Xu, that is, to extinguish, the grass and trees wither, the extinction of life, until Hai, the yin impeachment and killing of all things, has reached the extreme.

"The other of the twelve earthly branches is also a reincarnation, a reincarnation of yin and yang alternating with each other, which just corresponds to the outermost stone plate."

"Even if it refers to reincarnation and eternity, what does that have to do with opening the stone wall?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

The more I talked, the more excited I became, the twelve earthly branches correspond to the heavenly stems, and the heavenly stems are composed of A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and 癸, also known as the ten heavenly stems, which just correspond to the patterns on the outer stone plate.

"That is to say, these three stone plates actually refer to the heavenly stem and the earthly branch......" Gong Jue suddenly raised his head and said excitedly. The composition of the heavenly and earthly branches formed the ancient calendar year, and these three stone disks represent time! ”

I smiled and nodded, nothing can be eternal, only time, only time is the witness to all reincarnation, in fact, the palace lord should have thought of it a long time ago, because we have seen such a mechanism set up once.

In the Temple of the Ancestral Gods, we are trapped by the trap and find three turntables engraved with different patterns, each with thunder, dragon, and kui.

The descendants of Jiuli worship the sun, moon and stars, regard the three lights as the purity, and also believe that all things are composed of thunder, dragons and kui, which are called the three specializations, and at the same time match with gold, water, wood and fire to create the seven calendars.

The three turntables correspond to the year, month, and day, and just like the stone plate under our feet now, if you want to open the stone wall, you must turn it to the right time.

Speaking of this, I remembered that the rotation under my feet just now, at that time, it was exactly the sun rising and the moon setting on the canopy, and the earthly branch was originally used to remember the moon and the day, presumably the middle is the day, the second layer represents the month, and the outer layer and the middle two layers can be combined with each other to show the year.

The sun and the moon explained that it was just one day, so the stone plate in the middle would rotate, in fact, this detail had already explained the purpose of the stone plate at the beginning, and I didn't even understand it until now.

"Even if you know that the stone plate is used to represent time, what can you do, the three stone plates can be combined to create an infinite number to represent the year, month and day, except for the ancestral god resting in the tomb of the god, no one can know the correct way to open it." Tian Ji said dejectedly.

"You mean, when we went to the Temple of the Ancestral God, we also encountered a similar mechanism, so how did I crack it last time?" After listening to me, the palace lord hurriedly asked.

"You didn't crack it last time." I smiled.

"Not me? Who else could there be? The palace lord was stunned.

"At that time, there was nothing you could do, and it turned out that Zhiqiu cracked the mechanism." I remembered the embarrassed appearance of the palace lord at that time, and I couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Can she crack the mechanism?" The palace lord was taken aback.

"Why can't I?" Ye Zhiqiu was on the bar with Gong Jue again, and it is estimated that when she heard me say this, she was so proud that she looked at me and asked, "It's a pity that I can't remember how I cracked it at that time." ”

I told others that the practice of the Temple of the Ancestral Gods is based on the Seven Yao Calendar, in which thunder, dragon, and kui are the three specializations, and light, air, water, earth, and stone are the five elements.

At the same time, the 27 Nakshatras were changed to 28 Nakshatras, and metal, water, wood, fire, and earth were used to represent the four directions and the center, which happened to be the quadripartite structure of the Temple of the Ancestral God and the top representing the center.

The stone pillars on both sides of the temple steps are arranged in groups of 28, and the steps are divided into 12 floors from the bottom.

These numbers are consistent with the Qiyao calendar, and the number of steps on each floor is no more than one hundred and thirty-five steps, and the Tengu cycle in the Qiyao calendar is one hundred and thirty-five plastic moons, and the number of these steps is not built randomly, but is used to represent the era, each step represents a year, which means that every thousand six hundred and twenty years, the ancestors of Jiuli will come to the temple to worship once, so as to deduce the time when the mechanism was opened.

"It turns out that I came up with a method based on the calendar, if the mechanism here is the same as in the Temple of the Ancestral God, maybe there is a connection between the two." After hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu squatted next to the stone plate to take a closer look. "It was Emperor Qin who built this place, and the calendar used should not be the Qiyao calendar."

"It is the Zhuan calendar, one of the ancient six calendars, for the lunisolar calendar, this calendar is measured in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin Emperor has been using this calendar after the world has been adopted, until the Western Han Dynasty was abandoned." Wen Ru blurted out.

Although Wen Ru is insidious and cunning, he is not useless or has some attainments, Ye Zhiqiu nodded after thinking about it, and calculated from the time, the calendar used when building this place was the Zhuan calendar.

"But the Temple of the Ancestral God is built according to the number of the Seven Yao Calendar, but the Demon Kingdom is far larger than the regulations of the Temple of the Ancestral God, and I haven't seen any specific numbers that match the Zhuan Calendar along the way." Ye Zhiqiu pursed his lips suspiciously.

Gong Jue suddenly walked up, and without saying a word, he began to turn the three stone plates on the ground, I just wanted to remind Gong Jue not to be impatient, after all, this is the place where God rests, and the mechanism is set up is not trivial, we don't even have a clue, in case of turning wrong, I don't know what will happen.

Rumble!

As soon as my words came to my mouth, Gong Jue had already let go of his hand from the stone plate, and with a roar, the thick stone wall slowly opened, and we were all shocked, not because the mechanism was successfully opened, but because it was estimated that everyone, like me, did not understand how Gong Jue could accurately crack the mechanism in such a short period of time.

"...... Gong Jue stood up and smiled proudly at Ye Zhiqiu. There is a saying that there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is not often that a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, and you wonder where the calendar is the head, you only have five days left, and it is better to leave the matter of opening the organ to me. ”

After the palace lord finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the cave triumphantly, Ye Zhiqiu's face behind him was red, it is estimated that he listened to me talk about the temple of the ancestral god, the palace lord was angry about losing to Ye Zhiqiu, he was arrogant, how could he accept losing to Ye Zhiqiu in what he was best at, but we were still stunned in place, racking our brains and couldn't figure out how the palace lord knew when to open the mechanism.
