Chapter Forty-Eight: Tai Chi!

Welcome to Guanshu Network:

Although Cha Wenbin is only a few meters away from the largest bronze coffin at the moment, every step makes the hearts of Zhuo Xiong and Chaozi behind him tighten, and with every step of Cha Wenbin, the fists of the two have been clenched tighter and tighter.

What about Cha Wenbin? Since I got here by mistake, whether it was designed by someone or providence, what should come will always come, and if I die here like this today, I should go down to accompany the girl. When a person sees through life and death, he is not afraid of anything, he is like this at the moment, but it is much easier than just now, as long as something pops out at this time, it is the service of the Seven Star Sword that keeps and greets him.

Every coffin was carefully inspected by him, except for the one that had not yet been opened, there was nothing too terrifying in it, and the slightly nervous heart was relaxed, but since such a cumbersome mechanism was laid out, there must be a reason for it, what is it? Cha Wenbin walked around again, keeping an eye out for the crumbling boulder above, and when he returned to the starting point, he stopped, recalling that he had just carefully checked the five coffins, and after thinking about it, he really found the strangeness in it!

These five coffins are spread out in the four directions of due east, west, south and north, and in the middle is the largest bronze coffin, carried on the back of a big turtle, and the real mystery lies in the pattern carved on the coffin itself! The four small one-point bronze coffins are basically the same size, about four meters long and two meters wide. Although the size is about the same, each bite has its own mystery!

The first mouth, due east, that is, the bronze coffin on the left, is placed horizontally on the ground, and on the coffin body is depicted a vivid green dragon, this dragon is different from the middle one, this is a body like a giant python, writhing its body, it has the head of a unicorn, but it has the tail of a carp; There are also beards on his face, each of which has a different shape; On the top of his head is a pair of forked antlers, but with five claws, majestic, holy and solemn!

This kind of dragon is our most common Chinese dragon shape on weekdays, this one Cha Wenbin recognized at a glance, its name is the famous "Green Dragon"! The legendary ruler of the Seven Stars of the East! The bronze coffin itself has a bronze green, and it happens that the whole coffin is extremely bright, but the dragon's body is covered with bronze rust, as if it has just been painted, and a green dragon is walking on the bronze coffin! There is still something in this coffin, a piece of wood, only a cursory glance, this wood was recognized, this wood is yellow with light green, under the illumination of the spotlight, the golden light is shining, the gold wire emerges, there is an indescribable supreme and elegant atmosphere, this is the ancient royal royal gold silk nanmu!

The second mouth, due west, that is, the bronze coffin on the right, is also placed horizontally on the ground, this coffin is engraved with a spotted tiger with an open mouth and roaring, this tiger is very similar to the tiger we usually see, the difference is that the hair on its body, compared to those gorgeous markings, exaggerated long hair stands up from the back, the face in addition to the tiger's whiskers, there are also long hairs stretched out to both sides, sharp fangs are telling Cha Wenbin, I am not an ordinary tiger.

This tiger is naturally not an ordinary tiger, Cha Wenbin also knows it, who is it? White tiger! Since he was a child, he has studied a Taoist classic "Daomen Tongjiao Must-Use Collection" Volume 7 is recorded in the same way: "The West should stay in the tiger from the tiger, the quality of English and English, the sound of purification, the threat of birds and beasts, the roaring mountains and forests, to establish my right." "This is exactly what we are talking about, the lord of the seven stars of the West, the White Tiger! This tiger is depicted as its name, the whole coffin is also poured in bronze, but the tiger is painted white with paint, although the age is old, the white is even a little yellow, it still does not damage its battle power at all, the white tiger really does not disgrace his reputation as the god of war! "Customs and Customs" cloud: "Tigers, yang things, and the chief of all beasts, can fight and frustrate, and devour ghosts." ”

This coffin contains a "bamboo pole", but this "bamboo pole" is golden and shiny, it is made of pure gold, about 50 centimeters long, and the bamboo is depicted in a good way, which is very valuable!

The third coffin, due south, that is, the one closest to Cha Wenbin and them, this coffin is placed in a north-south direction, which is just perpendicular to the first two coffins. This coffin is carved with a delicate bird, the whole body is painted fiery red, gorgeous and stretched feathers all over the body, especially the tail, occupies two-thirds of the whole picture, take a closer look, it turned out to be the tail of a peacock, but it is bifurcated like a fish, the neck of this bird is particularly long, very much like a standing snake neck, the back is slightly raised, the mouth is pointed and small, very much like the head of a chicken, but the position of the chin is like a swallow, if ordinary people see it, they will think that this is not the legendary phoenix!

In fact, Cha Wenbin recognized this bird, it was not an ordinary phoenix, and there was also a name called Vermilion Bird! The seventh volume of the "Daomen Tongjiao Must-Use Collection" also has its record: "The southern Vermilion Bird, the length of the birds, the Dan cave is born, the blue thunder flows, the strange colors are five, and the six images of the gods come to guide me." "Legend has it that Suzaku is the embodiment of fire, the Heavenly Destiny Bird, and the master of the Seven Stars of the South! Because Suzaku was once known to the world as the essence of fire, it was the representative of the sun.

The ancients said: "The elephant of the phoenix is also, the front and the back of the Hong, the stork and the mandarin gills, the dragon and the turtle back, the swallow and the chicken peck, and the five colors are ready to be lifted." Because the phoenix is the length of the "feather insect", the dragon with the length of the "scale insect" has gradually become a pair in the legend, one is changeable, the other is virtuous, and it has become a pair that complements each other in folklore. Since the five elements belong to fire, the phoenix was once regarded as yang, representing male; Whereas, the five elements of the dragon belong to water and are regarded as yin, representing the female. Later, because the image of the dragon was more liked by the emperor, it was changed to the dragon to symbolize the yang, and the phoenix (phoenix is male, phoenix is female), which originally had the distinction of yin and yang, gradually became the representative of pure yin after facing the dragon.

What's in this coffin? It was an ordinary thing, a piece of charcoal, a pile of hay, and a fire sickle, which the ancients used to strike each other with to make fire.

The fourth coffin, due north, is the coffin that has not been opened so far, the placement of this coffin is from north to south, and the third coffin is just on the same line, Cha Wenbin paid special attention to this bronze coffin. What is carved on this coffin, a combination of a big turtle and a snake, intertwined with each other, unable to distinguish you and me, one body, what is this? Could it be that the turtle and the snake are fighting? No, it actually has a name, it's called Xuanwu! , "Daomen Tongjiao Must Use Collection" volume seven clouds: "Northern Xuanwu, Taiyin incarnation, false and dangerous surface, turtle and snake platform shape, wandering in the nine places, dominating all souls, come from my right." This thing is the incarnation of the snake and the turtle wu, and the snake is the body of the dragon-headed phoenix-winged python; Turtle Wu is the dragon head and the back of the unicorn tail, it is said that it is the evolution of the ancient beast Teng Snake and this guy makes Cha Wenbin very admired, why, Xuanwu is called the Great Emperor of the North in Taoism is also called "Zhenwu Emperor", and he was named the emperor, which is different from the other three. The other Qinglong and White Tiger only became the door gods of the mountain temple, and the Vermilion Bird became the Nine Heavens Xuannu. Xuanwu is also the divine beast in charge of the seven northern constellations.

This Xuanwu is painted black! Because this coffin has not been opened, the things placed inside, Cha Wenbin has already guessed at the moment, if there is no mistake, there is nothing in this coffin, only a coffin full of water! Because Xuanwu is also the god of water at the same time!

The one in the middle, the whole body is shiny, the ancient bronze shines dazzling gold, so luxurious carving, but the coffin is empty, some are just a pile of dirt!

Now Cha Wenbin has thoroughly understood that these five coffins, according to the direction, stars, sacred beasts, and utensils, combined with the geography here, take the waterhole as the ground, the top of the stone wall as the sky, and the white bones under it, which is in line with the essence contained in the Taoist supreme law "Book of Changes": "Yi has Taiji, which is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip." ”

Which two instruments are these two instruments, heaven and earth! The four elephants derived from Liangyi are the four bronze coffins engraved with green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, and Xuanwu, and these four elephants correspond to the original gossip diagram made of white bones in the waterhole below! This kind of design made him finally understand the purpose of the four bronze coffins in the village!

There are a total of nine bronze coffins here, four in the village, four on the stone cliff on the top of the cave, and the largest one here, how did this come about? It is in line with the Taoist gossip that gives birth to nine, and the gossip derived from this gives birth to these nine coffins to become the nine palaces, and the ultimate goal is only one: to return to the original initial round level! Everything here complements each other and is indispensable, what a master this big array is built, if it weren't for Cha Wenbin's kindness and first breaking its gossip bones, maybe something earth-shattering would happen. There is still a while that has not been unraveled, and there are five elements over there!

Bagua and the Five Elements, the foundation of Taoism! The following five coffins are respectively placed in the symbol of the wood of the golden silk nanmu, and at the same time, the green dragon is in the four elephants, belonging to the east, and the east is in the direction of the wood!

Placed in the coffin in the west is a gold "bamboo pole", the five elements of gold belong to gold, and at the same time, Xuanwu is among the four elephants, which belongs to the west, and the west also belongs to gold in the direction!

In the coffin in the south, there is a fire sickle, hay and charcoal, these things are naturally things to make fire, the essence of the fire of the Vermilion Bird, among the four elephants, it belongs to the south, and the south belongs to the fire in the direction!

Although I didn't see it in the coffin in the north, it depicted Xuanwu, which belongs to the north and the god of water among the four images of Xuanwu, and the north also belongs to water in the direction!

The bronze coffin in the middle is regarded as the center of all the great arrays, symbolizing supreme power, and the five elements of soil in this coffin naturally belong to the earth! Earth is the most special existence among the five elements, because it is an intermediate state between these four images, so it is placed in the middle!

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five elements, and the green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and Xuanwu are not only the four elephants but also the twenty-seven stars!

What kind of place is this, and the things contained in it make Cha Wenbin at a loss, but although this big array has been broken, it is not the most important, as long as these four elephants are still there, it is an inevitable result to give birth to gossip, and he once again focused his eyes on the bronze coffin in the north that has not yet been opened......
