Chapter 32: The Abyss

"Where is this?" Li Ziping was a little surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Leave this alone, I'll help you bandage it first! Look at how much your blood flows. Zhang Taisheng looked at Li Ziping's calf that was still bleeding, and he felt sorry for Li Ziping.

I saw Zhang Taisheng tear off a piece of cloth from the edge of his clothes and carefully help Li Ziping bandage it.

Li Ziping had forgotten the pain at this time, and was looking around, only to see that it was dark on both sides, and there were five doors at the other end of the bridge. The bridge looked dilapidated, but there was no sign of it falling.

Lao Dao had already walked over at this time and said, "How is it, are you all right?" ”

Zhang Taisheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, you can't die, you old bones haven't had an accident yet, how can we have something." ”

Lao Dao snorted twice and said: "Fortunately, this Cerberus is light, although I have three blood marks on my back, but they are all minor injuries and no major problems, but this yin wind blows cold down my spine." ”

Zhang Taisheng said "hehe" twice and said, "If it wasn't for Ziping's wit just now, I'm afraid the three of us would have fallen into that illusion and couldn't get out." ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Taisheng began to look at the surrounding environment. In this dark and dark environment, only the dim light of the lantern shone on their faces, and they all looked thin.

"How? Can you still walk? If it doesn't work, let's go back the way we came! Lao Dao was a little worried about Li Ziping.

Li Ziping smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "It's not in the way, I can withstand this little injury, but we tossed for most of the day, and now we haven't reached the main tomb, when this tomb came in, it already felt very huge, and now looking at the surrounding environment, it seems that this tomb is not parallel and straight, but goes deeper and deeper into the ground." ”

As soon as Li Ziping said this, Lao Dao and Zhang Taisheng paid attention.

When the three of them entered the tomb, the surrounding space could still be seen at a glance, but now after passing the gate of life and death, they actually reached the top of an abyss.

"Help me up, and we'll go and see." Li Ziping said.

Zhang Taisheng helped Li Ziping up, and the three of them walked along the suspension bridge in the direction of the five gates. The drawbridge swayed, and in the darkness, there was a "squeak" sound.

After walking off the suspension bridge and standing in front of the five doors, Li Ziping found that the five doors stood parallel to each other, and each door had a sign on it. I saw that on the first door on the left-hand side, there was a pattern engraved with a gold ingot; On the second door, a tree is carved into it; The third door is carved with three horizontal wavy lines, which look like a river; On the fourth door, a flame is carved into it; On the top of the fifth door, a square is carved.

"What does that mean?" Zhang Taisheng was a little puzzled and looked at Li Ziping.

Li Ziping took a deep breath and said: "It is the Five Elements Gate, the gold ingots represent gold, the tree represents wood, the three horizontal waves represent water, the flame is fire, and the last square means earth." ”

"I can still understand the first four patterns, why the last pattern is replaced by a square?" Zhang Taisheng laughed.

Lao Tao continued: "In ancient times, people thought that the sky was round, the earth was square, and the earth was like being covered by a cauldron lid, so the use of a square to describe the earth represented the meaning of the earth." ”

Li Ziping nodded and said, "Yes, these five doors represent the five elements. ”

"Look, what is this?" Zhang Taisheng pointed upwards with his hand.

Li Ziping looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Taisheng's hand, and saw that there was a plaque at the top of the five doors, which was not discovered by everyone before due to the dim light, but now I saw it after a careful look, and the plaque had three words written on it, "Xiangsheng Gate".

"Phase...... Bear...... Door. Zhang Taisheng read it out.

Li Ziping said: "It turned out to be Xiangshengmen, I heard my father say it before, but I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would have the opportunity to meet it." ”

"What does that mean?" Lao Dao was a little puzzled.

Li Ziping smiled and said: "Everything between heaven and earth is made of the five elements of yin and yang, people are divided into men and women, it is one yang and one yin, and the five internal organs in the human body can be corresponded to by the five elements, the heart is fire, the lungs are gold, the spleen is earth, the liver is wood, the kidney is water, the five elements are harmonized, and the five elements can be born together, and can be mutually restrained. ”

After hearing this, Lao Dao seemed to understand a little, and said: "Among the five elements, gold can give birth to water, water can give birth to wood, wood can give birth to fire, fire can give birth to earth, and earth can give birth to gold. ”

"Not bad." As soon as Li Ziping finished speaking, he looked at the five doors again and fell into thought.

China's Five Elements Method, which is simple to say, is actually complicated, and some people have studied it for decades, but it is difficult to get a glimpse of the mystery, just because there are too many things between heaven and earth, one is that it is difficult to distinguish the five elements, and the other is that many things cannot be summarized by a single element. Just like human beings, the five organs in a person's body correspond to the five elements, but often for some reason, it may be a problem of geographical environment, it may be a problem of living environment, it may be a problem of birthdate, etc., resulting in biased attributes. This can easily make the originally harmonized five elements lose the balance they should have, and once the five elements are out of balance, it is easy to attract diseases.

The art of the five elements of yin and yang, from the structure of the human body to the life, the mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars, all contain the principles of the five elements. Sometimes, in order to achieve a balance between the five elements, it is necessary to avoid the excesses of any one of the five elements, and to consider the restraint between the elements of the five elements.

At this time, neither Zhang Taisheng nor Lao Dao dared to disturb Li Ziping's thinking.

Li Ziping remembered that his father said that the formation of the Xiangsheng Gate was arranged using the principle of the five elements, so the five elements hidden behind each door could not be treated separately, but must be resolved with the elements behind other doors. It is said that many emperors and generals have a formation of the five elements, and if the people who enter this tomb, if they are not familiar with the method of the five elements, then even if the martial arts are extraordinary, I am afraid it will be difficult to resolve. But in Li Ziping's understanding, he has always believed that there is something called "absolute power" in this world, that is, when a person's strength is strong to a certain extent, anything compared with him will seem small, so even if people with this power do not understand the theory of the five elements, they can rely on this power to crack the door of mutual birth. Of course, thinking about it, Li Ziping has never met or heard of such a person. If there really is, then it must be a god in the sky.
