Chapter 21: The Seven Stars of the Moon
We didn't have much time to rest, and it was a little brighter before we set off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info was tossed like that last night, I didn't have a good rest anyway, and finally slept in a daze.
Ouyang Chengrui was still drowsy, and his mouth began to babble nonsense, but the only thing that reassured us was that now he was no longer running around, and he was not tied up with a rope. It's just that Atai and the monk have been suffering from it, and they have been taking turns to carry him.
Looking at our tired team, I was really worried.
The only thing that surprised me was that Chu Chu didn't seem to be affected by last night, still indifferent and full of energy. I know that this woman sleeps less than I do, and I don't know how she adjusts to rest.
We walked along the ancient road on the mountainside, and after the rain last night, the weather turned cloudy, and the mountain stream increased and flowed down the mountain, making our journey even more difficult.
The fog gets heavier, and many times we feel like we're walking in the clouds, completely losing our sense of direction, and we can only follow cautiously.
However, the Tibetan chief monkey, who had kept us on guard all night, did not move. We all thought that these vengeful monkeys would seek revenge late at night, after all, we had a lot of grudges.
"Maybe it was the rainstorm last night, otherwise these wild monkeys would have let us go?" The monk carried Ouyang Chengrui on his back, panting in front of me, but he still had the strength to talk nonsense with me.
We walked about ten kilometers as the fog slowly cleared and our vision got better. The surrounding mountains stand out, and the two mountains stand in the middle of the road, leaving us to walk on the road of the first line of heaven.
The high mountain on the other side of the abyss is only 100 meters away, and there are many statues and ancient handwriting carved on the mountainside, but almost all of them have been eroded by the wind and are difficult to distinguish.
After passing through the gateless stone path, we finally reached the end of the artificial stone path on the mountainside. There was no fog in front of me, and the line of sight was wide, and in front of me were low-lying lakes, one by one, like broken lenses that had fallen to the ground.
Although there are not many lakes, there are only a few, but they are very large, and some of them are difficult to see through at a glance. The lake is surrounded by trees and lush greenery, and it is simply a primeval forest.
"Seven Stars Fengyue." Uncle Li looked at the low-lying land in the distance and sighed.
"What Seven Stars Fengyue? I can't see it. "The monk is like me, confused.
"Do you see the lakes down there?" The fifth uncle pointed to the low-lying land in the distance and explained to us: "The largest lake and the small lakes around it. ”
The area of the large lake is very large, I am afraid that it can be compared to the West Lake, and even the scattered lakes around it are the size of several football fields. But no matter how I look at it, I can't see any connection between them, could it be that these low-lying inland lakes are still artificially smashed out? How much manpower and material resources will be spent.
"Tai Chi!" The monk suddenly let out an 'oh' and yelled.
It turns out that these inland lakes were indeed artificially opened, but only some natural lakes were used. The largest lake has a land dividing line, like the S-shape in the Taiji diagram, and the other half is spread out by seven lakes. If no one is pointing you out, ordinary people won't be able to see that this will be a Taiji diagram.
The so-called seven stars refer to the seven stars of the Big Dipper, but the moon is the moon. There is also a saying that the seven planets surround the sun. The former is yin and the latter is yang. Although it is only the difference between the sun and the moon, there is a world of difference in meaning.
And now in front of us is to serve the moon, with the yin as the greatest, completely turning the world upside down and turning the heavens and the earth upside down.
According to the fifth uncle, this kind of seven-star moon worship is not a good phenomenon, it is designed to collect the yin qi of heaven and earth, and it is also known as the Tai Chi Qiankun reversal method.
As expected, the yin qi here is extremely heavy, and ordinary people will have problems if they stay for a long time. And the vegetation below can grow so luxuriantly, I am afraid that it is also deliberately planted with plants suitable for yin qi.
"What is this kind of place for?" I asked curiously.
"Hell, of course you don't need yang, yin is worthy of the name." The monk replied disdainfully.
"This place is not as peaceful as it seems, and there is a murderous motive inside." The fifth uncle reminded.
Yin Qi is a thing that cannot be seen or touched, and for ordinary people, it is useless and ethereal, and even whether it exists or not is still a matter.
But Yin Qi is not new to Taoist priests, as if we humans need air.
Yin Qi is not all bad things, Yin and Yang are indispensable. The two are in harmony with each other, and more and less are disadvantages. So whether it's yin or yang, it should be in moderation.
But now the seven stars below are going against the sky, worshipping yin and disrupting yang, disrupting the rules of heaven and earth. At the same time, it would not be a good thing to be able to survive in a place where the yin qi was so heavy, whether it was a plant, an animal, or a human.
"It seems that we must pass through this seven-star Fengyue Array before we can enter King Nammour's hell." There is no need for a monk to remind us, we all know that this is the way to go.
"From here on, we can really fight King Nammer, and I don't know what gifts he has in store for us." Although the fifth uncle was joking, his tone was heavy and his expression was serious, it seems that it is not simple below.
Seeing the fifth uncle's serious expression, I am still very rare, after all, I have always thought that the fifth uncle is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and nothing can make him worry.
"Let's rest for a while, and don't run around or touch anything left behind. I believe that there will be a lot of strange things in these forests, and King Nammer is not so kind as to let us in easily. The fifth uncle reminded.
Finally, we discussed the question of whether to leave Ouyang Chengrui behind, after all, he is now unconscious and in extremely poor physical condition. If he is allowed to enter such a place with such heavy yin qi, the whole person will really be wasted.
But after a long discussion, no one was willing to stay and take care of him, and it was not safe to leave him alone, who knows if we will return the same way when we return.
But it's also strange that when we were arguing, Ouyang Chengrui came to the fore. I can also distinguish each of us, and I can barely walk with support.
"I said Comrade Ouyang, don't you want to walk in front of you, right? Now I heard that I was going to leave you behind, and I couldn't fit it anymore. The monk knew about Ouyang's situation, but he still couldn't help but ridicule.
Ouyang Cheng Rui, who was angry at this, coughed straight, and his originally miserable face was now flushed with anger.
This monk is really unscrupulous, and he never distinguishes time or person when he jokes. I was busy persuading him, I was really afraid that if he continued to talk about it, Ouyang Chengrui, who had finally recovered, would faint again.
"Mr. Ouyang, you must know that below is the Seven Stars Fengyue Array, over the years, I don't know how much Yin Qi has accumulated. With your current body, the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes, and if a person's body is too heavy with yin qi, there will be problems. Seeing that Ouyang Chengrui insisted on going down, the fifth uncle kindly reminded.
"No... It's okay, I'm going to... To go down. Ouyang Cheng Rui clutched his chest, panting, but his attitude was extremely resolute.
Uncle Li also persuaded for a while, but it was useless, but he just told Atai to take good care of Ouyang Chengrui on the road.
After resting, we walked down the narrow and towering stone steps, and it was better to say that we were all lying on the ground with our hands on the ground and slowly sliding down.
As deep as the abyss goes, we have to go as deep as we go to the bottom. The process of descending is really scary, for fear that if you accidentally don't catch it, the whole person will roll down directly, and it will really go straight to hell.
Finally, we reached the bottom of the abyss, and everyone was covered in mud, after all, we almost all climbed down close to the ground. All of them looked like they were about to sing on stage, especially the monks, who even had their clothes torn and held wooden sticks in their hands, as if they were begging on the street and calling Huazi.
What catches our eyes is a tall and majestic stone archway, the archway is carved from white marble, six or seven meters high, ten meters wide. The stone has been completely blackened by the erosion of time, and many rotten leaves have accumulated on it, and some carvings have fallen to the ground early.
The stone memorial arch has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, and now it can still be erected, which is rare. I wanted to see the handwriting and stone statues carved on it, but it was already blurred, and we were not in the mood to think about it carefully.
Under the stone archway, there is a road behind it, which was originally paved with wooden planks, but now it has long since decayed into earth, leaving only some residues. Further inside, there is a primeval forest with dense vegetation.
"Let's go, there's nothing to hesitate about now." The fifth uncle turned around and shouted to us, stepping in first.
