Chapter 154: The Immortal Shows the Way
Everyone was overjoyed, but I quickly realized a problem, even if we unravel the meaning of the doujin hexagram is the meaning of the immortal guiding the way, the Buddha statue in the shrine does have the action of pointing the way, but the range of directions of his fingers is too large.
If you really want to be more serious, the entire mountain wall of the entire west side of Maiji Mountain is within the range of the Buddha's fingers, and it is not clear where it is pointing.
The others must have thought of this problem quickly, and they were all worried for a while, but Zhuo Mingfeng was still calm, and his heart was as leisurely as water.
"That's what the immortal pointed out here, but there is still a sunset and a white tiger in the mountains on the back picture that have not been solved, there should be other mysteries." I looked at Zhuo Mingfeng and asked.
"It's rare for me to come to the Maijishan Grottoes, and I can't waste all the good time with you." Zhuo Mingfeng turned around and walked leisurely to visit the stone carvings, and when he passed by, he glanced at the sun that was about to set in the distance, and said meaningfully. "I'll tell you all, it's not interesting at all, I want to find the Vientiane Shrine and use your own brains more, time is running out, the rest of the things on the back map are too simple, whether you can understand it or not depends on your creation."
After Zhuo Mingfeng finished speaking, he walked away again, and we looked at each other at a loss.
"There is the setting sun on the picture, Zhuo Mingfeng just deliberately said that there is not much time, it must be related to the sunset, we have to hurry up, and if we delay it, we are afraid that we will miss the opportunity." The general said.
"The key should also be in the direction of the immortals, and the clues of the Vientiane Divine Palace should be in the position of the fingers of the gods and Buddhas, but how can we tell where the gods and Buddhas are referring to?" Gong Jue said at a loss.
"Listen to Zhuo Mingfeng's meaning, pushing the unsolved fall and tiger on the back map is the final key." Ye Zhiqiu walked over and said. "Zhuo Mingfeng is willing to tell us this, he didn't want to hide it, he found so many clues, he didn't want to say the last step, it was probably to make it difficult for us, but he said bluntly, we should all think of the mystery inside, it must not be too complicated."
"What you said is simple, the Ling family has thought about it for thousands of years, and all of them are masters of metaphysics, Zhuo Mingfeng said that it is simple, it is simple for him, just the previous ones, if he didn't remind him, it is estimated that he would not be able to guess if he wanted to break his brain." I said with a feeble sigh. "He's just trying to show off, maybe we'll have to beg him in the end."
"The Ling family's face can't be thrown in my hands." Ling Zhihan pursed her lips and said firmly, looking at the sun that was about to set. "The remnant sun is close to the mountain, the remnant sun is half a day, there are white tigers passing through the mountain, what do these hints have to do with the immortals guiding the way?"
"Half of this day...... That's not a word, is it? Tian Ji scratched his head and said.
"The ancients calculated time by the ups and downs of the sun and the moon, and the day can be regarded as time, but half a day can be ......." What time is half a day? ”
"And the tigers in the mountains, these are so unrelated." The palace lord shook his head.
We leaned against the railing and meditated for a long time, until the sun went down and it was pitch black, when a new moon slowly rose, and the bright moonlight re-illuminated Maijishan.
"It's over, Zhuo Mingfeng said let's hurry up, I guess we have to figure it out before the sun sets." I said with a deep breath. "We missed the time, and we guess we'll have to come back tomorrow."
"There's something I've always wanted to ask you." When he turned around and was about to leave, Tian Ji asked Ling Zhihan next to him. "Why are you sure that the sun on the back picture must be the setting sun, it is not written on it, it may also be sunrise."
"I haven't really thought about this, but there is no difference between sunset and sunrise, since there is no hint in the back picture, it means that sunrise and sunset are not important." Ling Zhi replied calmly. "The key is that the sun is in the mountains, and I never understand the relationship between the two."
Hearing the conversation between Tian Ji and Ling Zhihan, Gong Jue suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" I stopped.
"Sunrise and sunset don't matter, but why does it have to be the sun?" Gong Jue frowned and said calmly. "There is no text on the back picture, but the secrets presented in the pattern are interlocking, and we have no basis for it, and we can't determine whether it is the sun or the moon."
"Gong Jue's words are quite reliable, although there are no words, but there should be hints in these patterns." Ye Zhiqiu, this is the first time that he agrees with the palace lord.
Ling Zhihan in front also slowly turned back, I thought about it for a moment What Gong Jue said made sense, when we saw the circle of Yishan, we had a preconceived idea that it was the sun, but the moon would also be round.
"In the picture, we have unraveled the Tianshui Maiji Mountain, the number of Jiazi represented by the boy, and the river map, but these things do not hint at the difference between the sun and the moon." Ling Zhihan said after thinking for a long time.
"I'm a rough person, and my thinking is not as complicated as yours, and it should be the moon on the back picture." The general said with great certainty in a serious manner.
"Why?" We asked in unison.
"This is not simple, Zhuo Mingfeng has said very clearly, no one harvests crops during the autumn equinox in the crop field, so wheat is accumulated, but think about why no one harvests." The general clapped his hands. "O at night, when they all sleep, who goes to harvest wheat at night?"
"Don't say it, Uncle Wei is right." Tian Ji nodded and said.
Ling Zhihan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, he looked up at the night sky, and said to us thoughtfully, the autumn equinox is the season, and the stone platform and the chessboard are allusions to the river map, and the river map is painted in the season of the five stars.
The five stars were called the five latitudes in ancient times, which are the five planets in the sky, the wood is called the year star, the fire is called the glowing star, the earth is called the town star, the gold is called the white star, and the water is called the chen star, which is also the source of the five elements.
Among them, the autumn equinox, Venus is seen in the west, and in ancient times, it represented many weapons to show that the autumn killing gas was ordered, and all things grew old and withered, and the gold line was formed.
"In the back picture, the time is the autumn equinox, the mountains are in the west, I have a preconceived idea that it is the sunset, it seems that what my father and I think are wrong from beginning to end." Ling Zhihan slowly opened her mouth in surprise. "It's supposed to be the moon in the back picture."
"Come and take a look at this." Behind us, the chicken's voice was full of surprise.
When we turned our heads, we saw Tian Ji raising his hand and pointing to the No. 60 grotto, the Buddha statue looking down on all living beings inside, and his outstretched hand pulled out a long shadow under the moonlight, spreading out through the iron fence outside, and extending with the moonlight.
"Immortals show the way!" I suddenly realized that I was very excited. "This is the true meaning of the immortal's guidance, and the place where the shadow of the finger of the god and Buddha in the moonlight points is the place where the clues of the Vientiane Divine Palace are hidden."
"But the position of the moon is changing all the time, and the shadow of the finger is also extending, how do you determine the specific location?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
"Tiger!" Ling Zhihan looked at the full moon in the night sky with a happy face. "If the moon in the back picture represents time, then the tiger was in ancient times, and according to the current time, it is about three o'clock in the morning."
I suddenly remembered that when Zhuo Mingfeng left, he told us that the sun was about to set and hurry up, it turned out that he meant this, it can be seen that Zhuo Mingfeng had already unlocked all the secrets in the Tui Bei diagram, he was worried that we would miss tonight's Yinshi, at this point in time, the shadow of the fingers of the gods and Buddhas is the place we are looking for.
"No, the span of Yin Shi is two hours, and in these two hours, the place where the shadow of the finger spreads is large, and we still can't determine the exact location." The general said.
"We've unraveled all the patterns in the back picture, is there anything missing?" The palace lord frowned.
"It's not all unraveled, pushing the boy in the picture on the back, and pointing at the chessboard with three fingers." Ling Zhihan shook his head and said. "This is the last place that has not been unlocked."
"The moon represents time, and the boy erects three fingers, and the third is quantity, which should be related to time." I walked back and forth a few steps in a hurry, and when I saw that the time was approaching, my eyes fell on the shadow below me, like the hands of a clock, and suddenly it was like an initiation. "It's the moment!"
The ancients divided the day into twelve hours, and at the same time accurately timed on the scale, a day and night were one hundred quarters, converted to the present time, one moment is equivalent to fifteen minutes, and the boy erected three fingers and pointed to the chessboard, which means that when the three quarters of the Yin hour, the position of the shadow of the fingers of the gods and Buddhas is the place where the clues of the Vientiane Shrine are hidden.
"It's kind of enlightened, and it didn't cost me to say so many things in vain." The voice came from the darkness, and Zhuo Mingfeng, who was dressed in white and snowy under the moonlight, slowly walked in front of us. "It's just that the time is too long, just like you, you still want to find the Vientiane Divine Palace."
Zhuo Mingfeng exuded innate arrogance at any time, and then his gaze fell on the shadow of the finger of the god and Buddha, and when the time was just three o'clock, the position of the shadow fell on an empty stone wall.
There is no place for this place under the mountain, and the size of the projectile cannot be carved Buddha statue, it must be a place carefully selected by Ling Xuan, I asked Tian Ji to take out a rope and plan to tie it to his body, but the rope was taken away by the general.
"Your life must be saved to save the treasurer, I will do these things."
We all know the general's stubbornness, and tied the rope to him with his own hands, Zhuo Mingfeng watched coldly from the side, we carefully sent the general to the hanging wall, he stayed in the position pointed by the shadow, groped for a moment, and waited until he raised his hand We were excited to see that a long box was lifted by the general.
I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that saving Ye Jiuqing is finally a little eyebrows, this box must be Ling Xuan left a clue about the Vientiane Divine Palace, and when we pull the general up, I saw Zhuo Mingfeng disappear into the shadow of the Maijishan plank road, but he didn't seem to care about such a crucial thing at all, and he didn't even want to see what was inside.
I secretly wondered in my heart, the general told us before to be careful of this person, after all, the Vientiane Divine Palace is a treasure of the world, and I am worried that Zhuo Mingfeng does not want to share a piece of the pie with people, but now it seems that he is much calmer than us.
To be honest, from the first time I saw this person, I always felt that there was something unpredictable about him, and I couldn't tell what it was.
