Chapter 178: Qimen Dunjia
"This is a hidden dragon, and it's hard to want a flying dragon in the sky." Bai Jin said anxiously. "Who has such a great ability to make a mountain fly."
"The dragon vein is just the shape and potential of the mountain, and the so-called flying dragon in the sky is not to make the mountain fly, but to adapt measures to local conditions, so that the mountain here has the posture of a dragon." Bu Dongyuan is a Taoist priest, and he should also have some research on occultism.
Ling Zhihan raised his right hand and stopped at his mouth to meditate, and muttered to himself, "The dry man is also healthy, and he is not bent in the middle of the righteousness, although there is a hidden dragon here, but the yellow sand on all sides is lifeless, like a trapped dragon, and the hexagram says:
Longteng lives in the desert, once by the shrimp play in the world, has reached the thunder and wind and rain, the five lakes and the four seas are safe.
"Rain to ......," Ling Zhihan's eyes lit up, and he turned to us and said. The Qiankun here is to imply that there is a hidden dragon and the image of water, the dragon is trapped in shallow water, and there must be water if you want to soar into the sky! ”
Behind us is the Hetian River, but it is too far away, according to Ling Zhihan's speculation, the poor water of the hidden dragon is the water, but it is the most lacking place here.
"Then it seems that we have to wait, I hope that the heavens will make a rain and let this hidden dragon drink a few more sips." The general's expression was gloomy.
"It shouldn't be something that can be solved by rain, Ling Xuan left this clue for thousands of years, if it really rains to make the hidden dragon get water, there will always be a few rains for such a long time, then the Vientiane Divine Palace will already appear." I shook my head and said. "It should mean something else."
"Since this is a hidden dragon, where is the dragon's head?" The palace lord suddenly asked Ling Zhihan solemnly.
After Ling Zhihan identified the trend of the dragon, he quickly pointed out the direction of the dragon's head, and it was exactly where Zhuo Mingfeng was standing now, Gong Jue walked over quickly, half-squatting on the ground, and lightly touched his hand on the red stone ground, I saw that his expression was solemn, and he pressed the five fingers on the ground and kept tapping, and his body slowly wanted to move forward until he reached the broken wall of Hongzui Mountain.
I looked at him nervously and worriedly from above, and soon the palace lord raised his head below, and the bright moonlight illuminated his face, and at that moment reminded me of the first time I saw him in the ancient tomb.
There was an angular coldness in his resolute countenance, his sharp black eyes were clearer in the moonlight, and a confident and uninhibited smile hung on the corners of his upturned mouth.
"Hand me the kettle." The palace lord stretched out his hand to me.
He found a wrist-thick stone cave on the hanging wall, surrounded by protruding rocks, the location is just on the dragon's mouth of the dragon's head, he said that he had previously explored on it and found that the echo was regular and empty, which showed that someone had dug in the mountain, and the position of the dragon's mouth was subject to the heavy wind and rain, because the surrounding shelter was excellent, and it was impossible for a little rain to spread into it.
I handed the jug to the juke, and he poured the water into it along the stone, and when the third jug of water was poured into it, we suddenly heard a low roar, and the corners of the juke's grinning mouth were full of pride and excitement, and we hurriedly pulled him up from below.
As soon as Gong Jue arrived at the top of the mountain, we saw a beast head sticking out of the hanging wall of Hongzui Mountain, and I recognized it at a glance as a mantle kiss, the legendary water beast, from the mouth of the beast head a stream of water gushed out, like a waterfall flowing straight down to irrigate the yellow sand in the middle of the slope valley.
Standing on the top of the mountain and gazing down at the dry and barren desert, a splashing torrent gushes out, and the yellow sand drenched by the current gradually begins to tighten, and the spreading water begins to draw a circle pattern in the sloping valley with regularity.
This means that there is something under the yellow sand, and soon we hear a roar from below, and when the water in the mouth of the mantis stops, something slowly rises from the bottom of the yellow sand, and with the help of the moonlight, we see that there are eight erect things in a circle.
We hurriedly turned back from Hongzui Mountain, when we walked to the valley, we saw that it was actually eight strangely shaped stone statues, we stared at it for a long time to make sure that there was no threat, originally thought that the entrance to the Vientiane Shrine was waiting for us to crack the trigram, but I didn't expect it to be eight stone statues with different shapes and did not know what the purpose was.
Eight stone statues stood around a stone platform in the middle, for a while we were completely at a loss, not understanding what the eight stone statues that suddenly broke through the sand meant, Ling Zhihan's eyes kept falling on the stone platform in the middle, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
There were five circles of different sizes on the stone platform, which could be rotated from one to another, and it seemed to look a little like a gossip map, but in many places it was very different, at least I had never seen such gossip before.
"This is Lianshan Yitu!" Gong Jue was taken aback for a long time.
"Do you also know Lian Shanyi?" Ling Zhihan looked at the palace lord curiously.
Gong Jue nodded, saying that he followed Gong Yu to learn the trick, so he had heard of it, and Zhou Yi gossip and Guizang were still familiar with it, but he had never come into contact with Lianshan, and this was the first time he had seen the real Lianshan Yi.
"This is the Lianshan Yi who is called the Three Easys along with Guizang and Zhou Yi?" Ye Zhiqiu was shocked when he heard this.
"You even know that?" I squeezed out a wry smile and looked at Ye Zhiqiu playfully. "When did you study this thing too?"
"I study archaeology, I don't know this thing, that's really in vain, Lianshan Yi existed in Lantai in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is said that there are 80,000 words, and later, Lianshan and Guizang have been dead for a long time, becoming a mystery in the field of Chinese culture."
"Do you know what this thing is for?" Tian Ji poked his head over and asked.
"I only know that there is this thing, of course I don't know how to use it, there is a specialization in the art industry, and you asked the wrong person." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to Ling Zhihan next to him.
Ling Zhihan said to us, those who connect the mountains are like the clouds of the mountains, and they are endless.
Lianshan Yi is based on the four seasons and six qi as the guide of prosperity and decline, with the Liujia value symbol as the coordinate of good luck and evil, based on the three elements and nine fortunes, relying on the wind and clouds of heaven and earth, conjuring up countless different hexagrams, and the beginning and the end are the same, the advance and retreat are impermanent, such as the twelve stars twisting the Quartet, and the changes are endless.
"Ling Xuan left this thing, it should be the key to opening the Vientiane Divine Palace, do you know how to operate it?" I asked.
"I haven't even been able to understand the sixty-four changes of Zhou Yi, let alone Lianshan Yi, among the three Yi, Lianshan is the most subtle and cumbersome, not to mention that Lianshan Yi has been lost for a long time, how can I operate it if I haven't learned it at all." Ling Zhihan shook his head regretfully. "The mountains on this stone platform are easy to be staggered in black and white, a metaphor for yin and yang, and people who do not have extremely high attainments do not talk about operation, and it is estimated that they may not be able to see one or two of them in their lifetime."
"What do you care about Zhou Yi or Lianshan Yi, since you know that the disc on this stone platform is Lianshan Yitu, it is based on the Liujia value symbol to judge the direction of good luck and evil, and the three Yi are all evolved from the Hetu Luoshu, and everything is inseparable from it, you think about what you see, can't you think farther, you are blind, and there are still eight stone statues standing outside." Zhuo Mingfeng's voice was cold, staring at Ling Zhihan. "I didn't expect you to understand Lianshan Yi, your aunt Su Ling's family, who understands this except Ling Xuan, racking his brains to think about Lianshan Yi, it's just ridiculous and generous, let me ask you, don't you know that Lianshan should have seen it, and the eight statues that can be matched outside Lianshan?"
"Nope." Ling Zhihan's voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan.
"Since there aren't, let's think about what these eight statues are for." Zhuo Mingfeng looked disappointed. "Ling Xiaoge died early, he saw you like this here, and he would be angry with you if he didn't die."
"How do you talk?" I couldn't listen to it. "It's not just us who want to find Vientiane Shrine, you know best here, and you have the ability to come."
"I'm coming, if I come, her Ling family's face will really be lost." Zhuo Mingfeng said coldly with disdain. "No matter how bad Lingxiao Pavilion is, the art of Qimen Dunjia is also a bit insightful, I don't expect you to learn much, anyone who knows a little fur should be able to crack this stone platform."
"Qimen Dunjia?" Gong Jue frowned, he learned the tricks and mastered these metaphysics to some extent, the last time he opened the tomb door of Aoki Chuan, he used Qimen Dunjia, I think Zhuo Ming Fengming was scolding Ling Zhihan, but in fact, he was still reminding her.
Ling Zhihan was already very intelligent, but her metaphysical skills were far from Zhuo Mingfeng's skills, so she was always ridiculed by Zhuo Mingfeng, but she didn't seem to think it was a mockery, but became more and more frustrated, turned around and walked around the eight stone statues.
Then look around and suddenly realize to us, although Lian Shan Yi has not studied, but like Zhou Yi Bagua, from Qian to Kun Bagua correspond to eight different directions, if measured by Qimen Dunjia, these eight directions correspond to eight gates, respectively, open, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock.
After speaking, Ling Zhihan pointed to the eight stone statues around the stone platform and told us that according to the direction, these stone statues are Zhifu, Teng Snake, Taiyin, Gou Chen, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Nine Lands, and Nine Heavens, among which the first three and six positions of the Zhifu are in the first two, the god of Taiyin is in the first two, the latter one is nine heavens in the palace, and the last two gods are nine places.
Gong Jue hesitated, carefully touched those stone statues with his hands, and did not see anything unusual, he curiously pulled the hand of the stone statue in front of him, the stone statue can be rotated, as the stone statue was touched by our eyes are all attracted, Gong Jue immediately quickly took a few steps back, we were stunned for a long time and looked at it and did not seem to have changed.
I slowly stepped forward and turned the stone statue again, and was surprised to find that the stone statue was not fixed but could be rotated arbitrarily, Ling Zhihan's gaze kept falling on the hand on the stone statue, and the hand also pointed in different directions as the stone statue rotated.
"I see!" Ling Zhihan suddenly said to us. "The hands of the eight stone statues are actually markers, and they must point to the correct direction based on the Lianshan Yi Bagua in the middle!"
Ling Zhihan saw the mystery, and when she said this, I saw the palace lord suddenly open, and hurriedly walked to the stone platform to determine the direction, and when the last stone statue moved to the northeast.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the raging wind suddenly roared wildly, blowing the yellow sand like covering the sky and the sun, and the stretching sand sea rose from the ground like a stormy wave, covering the sky and the sun, forming a jaw-dropping sand wave in front of our eyes.
I looked up and was shocked to see the thick clouds converging into a strange whirlpool in the night sky above us, and I was even stunned to hear rolling thunder coming from the clouds, which should not be heard in the heart of the desert, because it was very dry, there was almost nothing conductive, and at the same time it impeded the clouds, so that it could not be discharged.
In the face of the strange celestial phenomenon, we were completely overwhelmed, with those swirling clouds, the sea of sand in the distance began to rotate in the wind, gradually becoming more and more intense, until it became a dozen tornadoes, and the yellow sand gathered was like a yellow dragon soaring into the sky, rising with the whirlwind.
Flying dragon in the sky!
I was dumbfounded and looked at everything that happened in front of me, this should be the true meaning of Ling Xuan's kun hexagram, we were all unstable in the wind, and hurriedly hid behind the red and white mountains, with the help of the mountain to resist, the wind ghosts whistling in my ears cried wolf, which made people shudder, and it lasted for more than an hour before gradually stopping.
When the wind and sand completely dissipated, the desert returned to the previous solitude, we timidly walked out from behind the mountain, everyone was once again stunned like a sculpture, the sea of sand in the distance was gone, and what fell into our eyes was the outline of a huge stone, which was embedded in the yellow sand, if it wasn't for the tornado just now blowing away the thick yellow sand, no one would ever find these things buried underneath.
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly lowered his body to look at the stone strips exposed outside the yellow sand, the ornaments on them were from the early Tang Dynasty, but everyone didn't know how these stone strips reacted, thinking that the extension was too big, and we were like only seeing the tip of the iceberg, and we couldn't see the whole picture of the stone strips.
"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain!" The palace lord said as he told us to go to the top of the mountain, and only from a high vantage point could we see the outline of these stone strips.
