Chapter 0078: Five Element Locks
I have to say that the closer you get to the lower body of Yin Shang Daji's tomb, the more people will haunt the vicinity, if it weren't for the fat man who was smart and held the submachine gun in his hand, we might have to encounter a lot of trouble along the way.
Seeing that the mountains on both sides are getting closer and closer, a triangular mountain is presented in front of our eyes, and from a distance, it looks like a person's legs are 30 degrees apart, and there is really such a thing as a lower body.
Xing Ying began to slow down, and whispered to us: "There should be that nakedness portal in front, everyone cheer up and be careful." ”
The three of us nodded at the same time, and we could all see that none of the people hovering at the end of the two mountain ranges were small characters, and all of them were Jianghu people who were crawling on the tip of the knife, after all, being able to come here alive was already proof of this.
The arrival of the four of us also attracted the attention of those who wandered, and they all looked at us with curiosity, as if to see who we were, in short, there was not much friendship in their eyes, some were only wary and repulsive.
The fat man thought that he had a submachine gun in his hand, so he was naturally fearless, and walked directly to the front, leading us towards the 30-degree corner of the mountain, which is where the lower body of the mountain is located, and it is also the only entrance to the tomb of Yin Shang Daji.
During the walk, I also briefly glanced at the people who stayed here, some of them were alone, some were in twos and threes, and more than a dozen people were sitting around, obviously this tomb of Yin Shang Daji attracted a lot of people to come here to hunt for treasures. However, it is surprising that they have large and small injuries all over their bodies, and it is not known whether they are caused by fighting each other or for some other reason.
When the four of us came straight to the so-called mountain portal, that is, where the gate was located, the shadow of the door in front of us was clearly a mountain wall without any gaps.
There were more than a dozen people studying around the mountain wall at this time, and they were knocking left and right, and the expressions on their faces were very ugly, quite scratching their heads. However, why do so many people gather here, thinking that the stone wall in front of them will be the stone gate to enter the tomb of Yin Shang Daji? The reason is very simple, that is, there are four ancient big characters engraved on the stone wall of this mountain, "Five Elements Xuanmen".
The fat man touched his head and looked at it for a long time, but when he saw nothing, he couldn't help pouting: "Is this the fucking door?" There's not even a crack in the door, so I think it's a fool. ”
The voice of the fat man also disturbed those who were looking at the mountain wall with all their attention, and they all turned their heads to look at the fat man. I thought it was a master who came to visit and put forward such a unique opinion, but when I saw the appearance of the fat man, I all pouted and frowned and turned away, no longer paying attention to it.
Li Baqiu on the side watched hehehe, I almost didn't laugh out loud, and in the end it was Xing Ying who interrupted us, "Okay, everyone be serious, do you see the injuries on their bodies?" ”
Li Baqiu was inexplicable and asked puzzledly: "See, what's wrong?" ”
I also looked at Xing Ying with a mysterious face, and I heard her say again: "If you don't want to feed the blood corpses here, then find a way to open this Five Elements Mystery Gate as soon as possible, otherwise we will also become like them, with bruises all over our bodies." ”
When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, it was hard to imagine what these people had encountered here to become such a miserable situation? Could it really be a bloody corpse and something more terrifying?
With Xing Ying's warning, the three of us also restrained our previous cynicism and began to carefully look at the mountain stone wall in front of us.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain stone wall, in addition to the four ancient characters of "Five Elements Xuanmen" carved on the whole stone wall, it is completely impossible to find the slightest gap, let alone the door crack.
During the inspection, the fat man proposed to blow up with a grenade, in the end this stone wall is not a door, but it was stopped by the people present to the righteous words, an old man who knows a lot of geology said, the whole mountain tomb is one, if you forcibly blow up the door, it may touch the mechanism inside, it is easy to destroy the treasure inside, resolutely do not do it.
In desperation, we had to tap with our hands to detect whether there was a door inside the stone wall, and any possible mechanisms around it were hidden. Half an hour later, I finally hung my head weakly, and I didn't get anything at all.
The fact that I didn't find anything here doesn't mean that Xing Ying and the others didn't find it either, I just wanted to greet the three of them, but I found that there were still their figures, one by one squatting around a big stone not far from the stone wall, which was even more lively than this mountain stone wall.
I walked over with a hint of doubt, and when I got closer, I found that there were several old men around the side of the stone squat, all with reading glasses, and some even took out a magnifying glass to take a closer look at the stone squat, as if they wanted to see a flower on it.
I asked the fat man, what are they doing here? Could it be that this stone squat is also related to this mountain stone wall?
The fat man didn't answer, and it was Xing Ying who was watching from the sidelines who answered me, "It should be related, otherwise it wouldn't be engraved with words such as the five-element lock." ”
"Five-element lock?" I was stunned when I heard this, and then looked at the place where Xing Ying pointed my finger, and sure enough, there were some fonts faintly engraved on the big stone pier, the fonts were very ancient and cumbersome, I definitely couldn't recognize them, so I couldn't help but look at her again and said, "Do you know these ancient characters?" ”
Seeing me looking at her like this, Xing Ying shook her head, and then pointed to one of the old men and said, "I don't know, it was said by the old man who studied just now. ”
"Oh?" I let out a soft sigh, hurriedly squeezed through the fat man and Li Baqiu, and walked towards the stone pier.
There are not many ancient fonts on the stone pier, probably just a sentence, but in addition to these ancient fonts, there are rare five stone caves, the hole is not very big, the size of a teacup mouth, and the inside is dark and you can't see the bottom.
I asked curiously to the old man who was watching with a magnifying glass, "Sir, what is written on this stone tablet?" ”
The old gentleman I asked, seeing that my face was very young, looked a little impatient, but he still stopped what he was doing, helped his reading glasses and said: "Oh, this is a limerick poem, what do you say about the five elements of the lock, the town of the gods, the five elements of heaven and earth, and the five elements of the qi to protect the monkey for thousands of years." ”
As he spoke, the old gentleman ignored me and continued to observe, while I was caught up in a brief thought because of his words, speculating repeatedly about the true meaning of this limerick.
At this time, Li Baqiu approached me and whispered: "Yishou, it is said that Daji is changed by the fox spirit, and the monkey in the poem must refer to her descendants, and the five elements of heaven and earth qi should be the key to opening and entering the tomb of Yin Shang Daji." ”
"Well," I nodded, thinking that what Li Baqiu said was reasonable, but the question came again, what does the Qi of the Five Elements mean? Is it simply wood, clay, metal and other things of the five elements?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn to the fat man and ordered: "Fat man, you go find some dirt and branches, I have..." ”
"Huh?" I looked at the old man with some embarrassment, only to see that the old man was full of red light, full of energy, and at a glance I knew that he was a master in a certain field, and I humbly asked: "This old man, I don't know which five elements you use?" ”
The old man pointed to a pile of dirt and twigs and a handful of metal objects not far away, and motioned for me to look at it myself.
I looked away, and there was a pile of dirt, a few branches, and a few pieces of metal in the corner of the mountain, and they must have carried the water with them.
Just as I was in my trance, Xing Ying patted me with his hand, and his eyes signaled that it was not early, and asked me to hurry up and think about the Fa. In this regard, I simply glanced at her and ignored it.
However, in order to confirm what the old man said, I couldn't help but try it myself, and when I threw fresh earth, cool water, metal fragments, tree branches, and burning fire into the dark deep holes at the mouths of the five teacups, the miracle did not happen, and the rock wall in front of me did not change in any way.
I can't help but wonder, is the limerick on the stone pier a lie, there is no such statement at all, or are we wrong in any detail? Thinking about it, Xing Ying came to my side and asked, "What?" Difficult? ”
When I heard this, I almost didn't vomit blood, and my heart said that I was just a leader, and I was a fledgling boy, how could it be as perfect as you imagined, I immediately waved my hand and said indiscriminately: "The difficulty is quite large." ”
At this time, Li Baqiu said with the opposite attitude when he heard it: "I don't think it maybe, isn't there a good saying, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, who gave birth to whom?" Trace back to its origins and try again. ”
"Hey, that's right," I suddenly woke up, I have to say that this Li Baqiu really got to the point, and some things really can't be calculated according to common sense. For example, soil does represent the soil in the five elements, but who is born of it, this is worth scrutinizing.
I don't know much about the five elements, so I asked Li Baqiu, who is known as a jack of all trades, although he is just a half-witter like me, but he will know a little more, "Li Baqiu, do you know who gave birth to whom among the five elements?" Who and whom? ”
I seemed to ask about Li Baqiu's arms, and I saw him say with a smug face: "This is too simple, it is nothing more than gold gives birth to water, water produces wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold; Jin Ke wood, Mu Ke earth, Tu Ke water, water Ke fire, fire Ke Jinbei. ”
The fat man interjected: "Since we all know who gave birth to whom, then let's start talking, otherwise it will be dark." ”
"Wait a minute," Xing Ying interrupted with a wave of his hand, "If the door is really opened as you said, so many people here may cause a big scuffle, and then..."
Before Xing Ying's words were finished, the fat man waved his hand impatiently and said, "My eldest lady, is it too early for you to talk about this now, wait for the door to open." As he spoke, he waved his hand at me, signaling that he could start, this is the first time I have seen such a real man as the fat man, and he subconsciously responded and began to act.
