Chapter 33 The Three Potential Stone Forest
As the Seventh Master said, now the bridge deck is full of fog, and from a distance, it is a little shiny. In the state of crawling of a few of us, we soon saw the end of the stone bridge.
Stone Forest - At the end of the stone bridge, there are towering stone pillars, gray and abrupt, looking from a distance, most of them are in two shapes: wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, or wide in the middle and thin at the end. Countless stone pillars looming in the mist, coupled with the stone bridge winding away, the whole picture makes me feel like I am in a fairyland.
No one would have thought that in an inconspicuous cloud mountain, there would be a stone forest of such a scale.
"That can't be the Nanpan Shrine, right?" I asked, pausing to catch my breath.
"Maybe it is......" The seventh master glanced at it from afar, but the speed was a little faster. I shrugged and hurried to follow.
Five minutes later, we finally walked down the stone bridge and stood on the ground full of stone pillars.
As soon as Liang Ruoyi got off the bridge, he turned out the map and various locators, and operated them with his hands and feet, and the expression on his face was a little crying and laughing: "This place, according to the signs on the map, we have arrived at the Nanpan Shrine." It's just that I can't confirm where we are now, and I can't find a specific location at all. ”
"The only thing that is certain is that this place is very close to Yunshan." The Seventh Master looked up at the stone pillars that were more than two zhang high and three feet wide, and said softly: "Either we are in the west of Yunshan, or we are under the ground of Yunshan. ”
Ground floor?! I frowned, thinking back on the process of the road these days, it really seemed like I was under the clouds and mountains.
"And." Liang Ruoyi suddenly said: "Shanping Daye, they should have left Daiyun Mountain a long time ago, and now his locator is still on Daiyun Mountain, and it seems that it has not moved for a long time." We've had such a bumpy journey, I don't know if anyone else will be able to catch up......"
"Even if I can catch up." The pig's head smiled: "Just now on this stone bridge, they all have to fall to their deaths!" ”
"Not necessarily." The second uncle shook his head slightly: "Don't say it to others, Chai Lao Wu and Sun Miaomiao, as well as Li Shuangyue and He Yunchang, the Taiwanese echo insect couple, there should be no problem to pass through this stone bridge." Of course, you can also add the master of Shanping Ohno, and as for Xiu'er senior or Qingyue senior, it is not a problem. ”
"If only they can keep up." The seventh master turned around and said with a smile: "Just like Miss Liang said, our road is too bumpy, if it weren't for luck, we wouldn't be able to find here, there are so many accidents along the way, and there are not many people who can keep up." Okay, let's have lunch first, and then we'll see if we can move on today. ”
Everyone has long been tired and collapsed, the trip to the stone bridge is a double test of spirit and body, the pig's head has long been paralyzed on the ground, and a few of us are no better, the cloth bag monk sat cross-legged on the ground to rest, and the rest of the people except for the seventh master have already sat down.
The pig's head rested for a while, got up and shared lunch: "It's been a few days since I came out, and now I can find the target, and we don't have much food." ”
"I don't think there's any game to hunt in this place." The toad said as he ate a piece of bread.
I looked over coldly, and saw that most of the abscesses on the toad's face were scabbed, and I instantly lost my appetite at a glance. I hurriedly turned my head and sighed, eating while looking at the scenery.
"You see, in this stone forest, the stone pillars are arranged regularly." The Seventh Master was eating, and his eyes did not leave the stone forest, but paced and observed.
"What pattern?" The second uncle seemed to be very interested in this kind of thing, so he stood up and followed.
"If I'm not mistaken, this place, like the outside, was built using the three realms of heaven, earth, and dust." The Seventh Master muttered.
"Seventh Master!" I didn't understand it, so I asked, "What is this setting of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Dust?" ”
"Oh, this......" The seventh master turned to look at me: "A kind of Kanyu technique in ancient times, I don't know too much, the later Fuxi gossip, as well as the I Ching gossip, including the theory of essence and spirit, have been affected by the setting of heaven, earth, and dust. It is said to have originated in the Yangtze River basin in ancient times, but it is impossible to verify which civilization it originated from. Even the setting of heaven, earth, and dust itself has almost no theoretical or recorded basis. ”
"So, how do you see that?" The pig's head was interested in the words of the seventh master.
"Ahem-" The Seventh Master coughed dryly twice, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that in the deep valley outside, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse!" Not many people really understand this thing, because it has not been completely handed down at all, and it is even more unknown whether the Gupan people believe in this spirit. But if I was purely guessing in the deep valley outside, this stone forest would not be the case. ”
I was immediately interested: this is a secret! Moreover, it is to explore the mysteries of the Gulpan people thousands of years ago, which is not an opportunity for ordinary people!
"Seventh Master, why?" I stuffed the last bite of ham sausage into my mouth, stood up and walked over to the seventh master and asked.
"Then come and see." The seventh master smiled and pointed to the stone forest in front of him and said, "You look at it from my point of view, are they a separate vertical row?" ”
"Oh?" I shrugged my shoulders and stood in the position of the seventh master to look over, and sure enough, from this angle, there was a vertical row of stone pillars in front of me, almost identical in shape and size, like a stone pillar, and with a slight tilt of my head, I could see that there were actually dozens or even more stone pillars.
"yes!" I nodded, but I didn't think anything was strange.
"Okay, then you move one from the stone pillar to the right or left, and look again." The seventh master said.
I nodded with some confusion, and according to what the Seventh Master said, I moved a stone pillar to the right, and then looked at it intently, and at this time, I was suddenly dumbfounded: when I first saw the stone forest, I just felt that there were countless stone pillars that were similar to each other; When I came down from the stone bridge and looked at it from the perspective of the Seventh Master, I felt that their arrangement was very orderly; But when I changed the angle a little and looked at it again, I couldn't see the stone pillar at all, and what appeared in my sight was a wall, and it was a wall without any gaps at all!
This surprised me a little: even if these stone pillars could look like a wall at this angle, they fit so well, whether in terms of color or stone, they were almost identical, and I couldn't see a single crack in them, and if I didn't know it was a group of stone pillars, I wouldn't have thought it was a wall!
"Xiao Gu?" The seventh master called me coldly.
"Huh?" I was in a state of surprise, I was startled by the Seventh Master, and turned my head to look over: "That, the wall, the Seventh Master!" ”
"You can move another angle to the left at the same angle and take a look." The seventh master said with a smile.
"Oh, good!" I answered, and moved a distance to the left of the first pillar, and when I looked again, something wonderful happened again: this time I was not looking at the stone pillars, nor the walls, but the road!
That's right, it's a road, and I blinked a few times and realized that there was a road in front of me, a road that stretched straight into the distance! The road was the same color as the stone pillars, gray and slightly white, because there was no fog in the place where we were now, and I could see that the road stretched far, far away until it became a small ......
"No, that's not right!" I rubbed my eyes vigorously, then took a step back, and suddenly realized: "This is not a road, but a stone pillar that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, because of this angle, it looks like a road!" ”
"That's right, that's it." The seventh master laughed and said, "Do you think that this is a very common trick?" ”
"I'll see, what the hell is going on?" The pig's head got up from the ground and was just about to look, but was slapped by Liang Ruoyi and pulled aside, the ice beauty raised her playful chin at me, I hurriedly walked over and told her three angles, and she groped for herself.
"What kind of trick? Seventh Master! The pig's head walked over with a look of smuggling expression and asked.
"I really think it's a trick." I smiled wryly: "It is the use of different angles that will form three different scenes." ”
"No, you're wrong." The Seventh Master smiled and shook his head: "If you can't see that this is the setting of the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth, with your kind of thinking, you will definitely not be able to go to the Nanpan Divine Palace." Now I am sure that this stone forest is circular, it is a large circular stone forest, and at the center of the stone forest is the location of the Nanpan Shrine. ”
"Then let's go inside!" As soon as the toad heard this simple, he immediately got up from the ground.
"It's not that simple." Liang Ruoyi on the side looked at the three angles, and Liu Mei turned around with a slight frown: "If I guess correctly, this road, as well as the wall, should all exist in reality." Right, Seventh Master? ”
"That's right." The seventh master nodded, and saw that the pig head and the second uncle also ran over to take a look, and said in a deep voice: "It should be like this, to put it bluntly, the setting of heaven and earth dust is actually the simplest three potentials, the sky, the terrain, and the people, but because it has not been handed down, and the time is too long, I have seen this situation for the first time, and I can only judge it according to the only knowledge I have about it, and I still add some other theories about it to guess." ”
"Even then, it's not that simple." The second uncle read it again, and his face was also grim: "Seventh master, we have all arrived here, it's still early, do you want to go in?" ”
"Enter!" The Seventh Master said without hesitation.
