Chapter 739: Feng Shui Great Array
After passing through the cave and moving on, the road ahead became wider and wider, and the light of the fire reflected on the silver pavement, as bright as day, and when we reached the end of the passage, everyone was speechless in shock.
Before I came, I had fantasized more than once about what the depths of this holy palace were like, and with the life and great achievements of the Qing Taizu, the picture I sketched should be a splendid palace.
And now where we gaze, I believe that anyone standing here will be shocked, so that none of us can speak until now.
I was amazed and amazed by the sheer size of the place, and below our eyes was a platform that is difficult to describe in words, supported by three huge stone pillar supports, and below which was the pitch-black abyss.
It's hard to imagine how it was built back then, the sheer size and shrewdness of the project would be difficult to complete even now, the three huge stone pillar brackets are connected by mechanisms, and triggering any one of them will cause the stone pillars to collapse, and the platform supported on it will also collapse into the abyss.
We could vaguely see the edge of the boxy platform, but this was not the end of the trip, until now we did not see the Holy Palace, there was a huge silver statue in the center of each edge of the platform, and the closest to us was a living dragon.
"Qinglong......" I muttered with a frown, then looked at the other silver statues. Suzaku, Xuanwu and ...... And the White Tiger! ”
"These are the four spirits." The palace lord also recognized it and said in surprise. "It is also called the Four Elephants, which refers to the Qinglong Mengzhang Divine Monarch, guarding the East, the White Tiger Guardian Divine Monarch, guarding the West, the Vermilion Bird Mausoleum Light Divine Monarch, guarding the south, and the Xuanwu Divine Monarch, guarding the north, and the Four Elephants are also called the Four Guardian Gods, the gods in ancient times, protecting one side, and being majestic."
As the same palace lord said, these four silver statues are arranged in exactly one direction, although the great majesty is small on this huge and spacious platform, which is enough to set off the enormity of this platform.
Gong Jue pointed to the four silver statues of the four spirits on the platform and told us that the green dragon is a god among the four elephants that can make demons and evil people fight and have boundless power, and the white tiger is also the god of war and the god of killing.
The white tiger is located in the west, the west is gold in the five elements, and the color is white, so it is called the white tiger, and the green dragon complements each other, the dragon yang is born in the separation, and the separation belongs to the fire, so it is called the dragon out of the fire, the tiger yin is born in the kan, the kan belongs to the water, so the tiger is born to the water, after the combination of the two, a yin and a yang, and reconcile with each other.
And because the tiger is the chief of all beasts, its power in Taoism is the ability to subdue ghosts, so that it has also become a yang beast, often with the dragon to go out, so it is called the cloud from the dragon, the wind from the tiger.
"As the old saying goes, the tiger is in the door, and the ghost does not dare to enter it." Ye Jiuqing looked around and was puzzled. "Tiger, yang thing, the length of a hundred beasts, can be stubbornly frustrated, devouring ghosts, the white tiger is the god of war, although it is one of the four spirits called auspicious things, but the white tiger is too angry, the general underground ruins should not be placed, I have explored the tomb for a lifetime, I have not seen this thing in the ground, the furnishings of this place are really incomprehensible."
Gong Jue pointed to the remaining two silver statues and continued, Vermilion Bird can be said to be a phoenix or a bird, Zhu is red, like fire, the south belongs to fire, hence the name Phoenix, it also has the characteristics of being rejuvenated from the fire.
The original meaning of the northern Xuanwu is Xuanming, the ancient sound of Wu and the underworld is connected, Xuanwu is the meaning of black, the meaning of the underworld is the meaning of yin, and Xuanming is the place of the northern god and the underworld.
"Seriously, how do I look like a mausoleum here?" Tian Ji scratched his head and said.
"We saw the road paved by Dongzhu before, and it has already shown that this is the mausoleum, and it is also the emperor, but I can't think of who will be buried here." I say.
"In Feng Shui, the four spirits will never be put in the mausoleum, because the four spirits are the guardian spirits, although they can protect one side and cut off ghosts and evil spirits, but the dead who are also buried here will not be allowed to rest in peace." Ye Jiuqing's brows furrowed even tighter.
"What are those dots of different sizes?" Xue Xinrou asked, pointing to the pattern on the ground on the platform.
The platform is also made entirely of silver, with dots of various sizes arranged in an irregular order, strung together by a line.
"It's the stars!" The palace lord blurted out a very affirmative answer. "This is according to the arrangement of the Big Dipper, and the Seven True Monarchs of the Big Dipper are called the gods of the righteous stars in folklore."
"This is ......," Ye Jiuqing said in shock, his eyes suddenly lit up. This is Feng Shui! ”
"What feng shui array?" I asked.
Ye Jiuqing looked at it again for a long time, and actually looked at himself with a smile: "Judging from the past discoveries, Qing Taizu is convinced of feng shui, but I didn't expect to believe in this, this is not an ordinary feng shui array, it is a killing array that tends to be auspicious and avoids evil." ”
"Kill the formation?" Ye Zhiqiu looked dazed. "Dad, what's the use of this killing array?"
"Uncle Ye, shouldn't it be very dangerous here, did we accidentally break into some formation?" Tian Ji immediately became alert.
"The danger is quite dangerous, but you don't have to be afraid, this formation is not used against you." Ye Jiuqing was still laughing, touched his chin and said. "To put it bluntly, you're not enough of them."
"Who is that for?" Xue Xinrou asked.
"You should have heard of the god list, there is a formation called the Zhuxian Array that makes the gods talk about the tiger's color, this feng shui array is evolved according to the Zhuxian Array, which is generally used to dispel evil and eliminate calamity."
"Zhuxian Array?!" We all opened our mouths blankly.
"Anyway, it's not for people." Ye Jiuqing said with a wry smile.
"Then why did Qing Taizu do this?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't believe it at all. "Dad, is this thing useful?"
"Who knows, no one has ever used it anyway, and who has such a bold person who dares to put on such a feng shui array." Ye Jiuqing said.
"Not against people?" Bai Jin's brows furrowed. "Who is that for?"
"Of course, the Immortal Array is dealing with immortals, why haven't you seen it yet." Ye Jiuqing patted Bai Jin's shoulder and smiled bitterly. "The feng shui array is just a decoration, it's really useful, I have learned it a long time ago, Qing Taizu is a sudden illness and went to the doctor, in order to deal with your ancestors, everything is used."
"Against my ancestors?!" Bai Jin was taken aback.
"Qing Taizu worships your ancestors as gods, and on the surface, he still relies on the ancestors to help him get the country, but behind his back, he is always on guard." Ye Jiuqing smiled and pointed to the statues around him and said. "Although the feng shui array is just a decoration at best, and the specifics are useless, even if it is useful, Qing Taizu can't play it if he doesn't have Taoism, but from the purpose of this feng shui array, it's not against people at all, it's not used to deal with your ancestors, who else can there be."
"Why do you want to deal with my ancestors?" Bai Jin was indignant.
"No matter how you say this, you can't say that you can deal with it, but it can be regarded as a precaution, judging from the furnishings and layout here, Qing Taizu doesn't want your ancestors to discover the Holy Palace and enter here." Ye Jiuqing said.
"The ancestors of the Bai family helped him enter the Central Plains and sit on the country, but I didn't expect to turn around and count the ancestors." The more Bai Jin's expression became more and more angry.
"There are two sides to everything, you have to think about the good place." Ye Jiuqing disagreed, and said lightly. "Since Qing Taizu values it so much, he does not hesitate to secretly try to use such a method to restrain the ancestors of the Bai family, which shows that the secrets hidden here are not trivial."
Tian Ji came back from the front, looking a little nervous, licking his lips from time to time, and stopped in front of us: "I found something in front, I believe you will be interested." ”
"What did you find? Why are you so mysterious? Xue Xinrou asked curiously.
Tian Ji didn't answer and led us to the depths of the platform, and when Tian Ji pointed to what he found, everyone was dumbfounded and froze in place, and then I heard Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou's screams of surprise.
Nine thick bronze tripods are presented in front of us, and the rumored nine tripods that everyone dreams of have been found by us.
Under the reflection of the light, Jiuding reflects the solemn and majestic light of the green and dark, the ornamentation on each tripod vessel is clearly visible, and the records in the ancient books are the same, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu, strange things are engraved in the body of Jiuding.
These nine are known as the important weapons of the country, symbolizing the destiny of the world, and the tripod vessels themselves are priceless treasures, in the eyes of Xue Xinrou and Ye Zhiqiu, they should feel that they have found the greatest treasure in the world.
"Didn't you say that the Divine Domain Map was hidden on Jiuding?" Gong Jue looked around Jiuding. "Why are there only famous mountains and rivers, but I don't see the Divine Domain map?"
"It's so easy to see, this secret can be kept for thousands of years." I took it lightly, when I was in the Demon Kingdom, Konoe taught me how to use the Divine Domain Map, I took off my backpack to take things, inadvertently touched the golden compass, glanced at it unintentionally, and was suddenly stunned.
I held the golden compass in my hand and kept changing directions, and the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jiuqing walked over and asked.
"It's strange, when we found the Qinling Immortal Palace, the golden compass temporarily recovered its ability due to absorbing the dragon vein and earth qi, and this artifact should be able to indicate the location of other artifacts." I looked at the golden compass and was at a loss. "But now that Jiuding is in front of you, why does the golden compass not only not react, but also the pointer keeps spinning?"
Tian Ji came over and looked at it and said: "Don't make a fuss, the ancestors of the Ying family left the golden compass, and did not tell the true role of this artifact, and the descendants of the Ying family have always thought that the most amazing thing about the golden compass is that it can sense underground gold and silver." ”
"This is not the original Divine Domain Map, the ancestors of the Zhu family engraved the content of the Divine Domain Map on Jiuding, the real Divine Domain Map is afraid that it has been destroyed, and of course the golden compass cannot react to Jiuding." Xue Xinrou pointed around and said unhurriedly. "It's all decorated with silver, and it's all silver on all sides, and of course the hands of the golden compass will turn around."
"I see!" Ye Jiuqing suddenly raised his head and suddenly realized. "Qing Taizu was originally wary of the Bai family ancestor, and did everything possible to prevent him from discovering here, presumably it was Qing Taizu who discovered that silver could hinder the perception of the Bai family ancestor, and used this method to make him unable to perceive the location of the holy palace."
