Chapter 47. Xuanhuang and Cangmen
When I saw these lines, Hu Zongren and I couldn't help but glance at each other. To know the way, in this life, the most hated thing is the guessing game. And every time Hu Zongren and I encounter a master's obstruction, we are often given a few sentences that look like poetry, but they don't make sense. A year ago, when we cracked the games left by Fu Yunni's father Fu Qiang one by one, it made me miserable.
That being said, we still have to guess what these words mean. Literally, this is a simple permutation and combination, connecting several old place names in Chongqing in a poem-like way. Hu Zongren is not from Chongqing, but he still knows most of these places after staying in Chongqing for so long. So Hu Zongren said to me, is this hole in Hongya Cave saying that there is something hidden in the hole that spews water from Hongya Cave? Does the door of the East Water Gate also mean that there is something behind this door, which is the next clue to guide us?
I gave him a blank look and said to him, Hongya Cave has long since changed its taste, and now it is a commercial area, and people who go there are basically going for food in addition to looking at the river view. I'm really not attacking Hu Zongren, Hongya Cave, as one of the must-choose tourist destinations for outsiders to Chongqing, often watch beautiful propaganda films, and have a very vain fantasy, and the result is usually to come with hope and return with disappointment. I remember that when I was very young, Hongya Cave was already planned and developed, and from that time on, the scene of the old mountain city playing a watch, with a wrinkled face of an old man rolling up his trouser leg and carrying a flat shoulder, can only be recalled from those TV dramas. As an authentic Chongqing native, although I occasionally go to Hongya Cave, it is definitely for the delicious kebabs and chicken wings there, the blackened Zhang Fei beef, and the old street glutinous rice cake with a Sichuan sledgehammer, has long become a kind of tourist performance project.
I then told Hu Zongren that this East Water Gate is an old city gate in Chongqing, and the place is probably in the area of Huguang Guild Hall, but as far as I know, it is just a stone city gate, and there is an inscription on the side. I then analyzed the next two sentences with Hu Zongren, the rock of Hutou Rock, Hutou Rock This place is a new place name when Jiahua Bridge and Gaojiu Road were built a few years ago, because when the mountain was blown up and the tunnel was dug, the shape of the mountain looked very much like a tiger's head, if I remember correctly, it should be like this, and the Hutou Rock has a wide range, and it is a traffic artery, and the flow of people and vehicles in such a place will be relatively large. The hind foot was found.
I shook my head, and continued, and this city in Jiangbei City, the scope is even larger. Jiangbei City is a small city across the river from the old city of Chongqing in Yuzhong District, and it also has city walls, and in ancient times, there were even garrisons and yamen in the city, the place is big enough, right? Even Ming Yuzhen is buried there. Besides, how can there be any Jiangbei City now? It's almost dug up, and it's turned into Central Park and the Grand Theater of the Science and Technology Museum, and many people go there every day to destroy the lawn, not to mention what they can really hide, this range alone is enough to find a few days and nights.
I analyzed these lines of sentences one by one, and then overturned them one by one. It seems to me that these words are not literal. And there are a few things that are very important and we can't ignore: for the person who left these lines of words, choose an urn in the shape of a coffin? Why do you want to cover the coffin with a red silk cloth? Why is there a mutilated doll lying in a coffin? Why is this doll's forehead inexplicably pasted with a talisman?
Hu Zongren suddenly said loudly, could this be that someone has set us up again? Tease us to drill a snare? His voice was already very loud, and the echo in the bomb shelter was relatively loud, and his voice really surprised me. So I'm a little worried, Hu Zongren's worry is not impossible, otherwise why did Master Ma deliberately tell us the address, but when we found it, we didn't see it, so what if we saw such a thing left? Isn't that guiding us to what? So I pulled out my compass and made many laps around the bomb shelter, which was not very large, to make sure that I had inspected every nook and cranny of the range, but I found nothing at all except the coffin and the doll inside. And there is a kind of agility in the doll that is struggling, but it is powerless because it is restrained, although I know that the ghost possessed in the doll's body cannot come out for the time being, but I can't help but be a little worried, because all this in front of me looks like it is not at ease.
Hu Zongren said to me, otherwise, let's take a picture of these things first, and then find a way to take them away. This time, since even a smart person like you can't think of an answer, we can only trouble others, who am I talking about? He said that of course it was Mr. Situ, and that he was such a knowledgeable person, it should be easy to guess the mystery of this. If you think about it, Fu Qiang was so powerful at the beginning, it wasn't for Master Situ to crack the ideas one by one, this Xuanyuan Society's people, no matter how good they are, they can't be Fu Qiang, you have to know that Lu Dao, really powerful people will not form gangs, such as me, hahaha.
Sometimes I really admire Hu Zongren, a person with big nerves, and when I am with him, he always gives me a feeling as if my life is not my life. Brave enough to rush when he encounters anything, and he didn't think about the back road for himself before rushing, fortunately, he himself got the inheritance of Yaoshan Taoism, and the foundation is solid enough, if it is really half a bucket of water, it is estimated that I don't know how many times Lu Dao died. But it's a miracle that a guy like him survives to this day. So when Hu Zongren made that complacent sound, I still couldn't help but despise him, and then told him, don't brag to me in front of me, we both belong to the lowest stage of mixed food guys, let's not think that we are powerful, if you are really powerful, you will not be made like this.
Hu Zongren turned over his hand and touched his back, and then smiled embarrassedly. I said let's take a picture first, so we took pictures of the things on the ground. After the photo, Hu Zongren called Situ in front of me. He first flirted with Situ on my side, and then he stressed bitterly that he was in big trouble this time, and then he told Situ about the situation he had encountered in the recent days. Then I heard Master Situ's roar over the phone, so I gloated and said to Hu Zongren, look, I said a long time ago to let you tell Master Situ at the beginning, you only say it now, it's strange if you don't get scolded. Who knew that my voice was heard by Situ, from Hu Zongren's sentence "Ah? He's beside me. I had already received an answer, and then Hu Zongren handed me the phone, and for the rest of the few minutes, I was also scolded.
Situ's central idea of scolding me was probably that I shouldn't have kept such a big thing from him, he was thinking about what the two of us were doing and I had rarely contacted him recently, and as a result, we quietly did bad things. I hurriedly explained to him that Hu Zongren had been preventing me from telling you, and it was none of my business. Situ asked me to turn on the phone hands-free, I opened it and put the phone between me and Hu Zongren, Situ said, this Hu Zongren has the Eight Pole Seal, many years ago he had also heard of it, but he is not a member of the Xuanyuan Society, he does not have much understanding of the Eight Pole Seal, but he still knows a lot about the "Eight Poles".
Situ told us that if according to what Hu Zongren just said, the current level he needs to cross, it is indeed as we guessed, the Nine Achievements are in the Kun position, and the extreme position of Kun has a different meaning for the Taoist family. The eight-pole seal on Hu Zongren's back is directly above, the Gen is on the right, and the Kun is the opposite corner of the Gen, that is, on the left. But generally speaking, the standard reference to the acquired gossip is directly above, representing the south, so it corresponds to Hu Zongren's body, and the position of the "kun" on the left should be the southwest of the direction. Master Situ said that the arrangement of the gossip is divided into congenital and acquired species, and the order is different, but as a reference standard, it is still necessary to use the original Yuan Shi Bagua diagram in the original Luo Shu.
Situ said that the so-called eight poles refer to the heavens, and there is a door at the limit of the eight directions. Kun is in the innate bagua, although it represents the southwest, but according to the current position, it is the northeast. The northeast for the "Kun", called "Cangmen", the so-called eight Hong, there are eight poles, this Cangmen, is the meaning of the end. Situ said, in other words, if you can't pass this hurdle, you will come to the end. And what Kun Wei refers to at this moment should mean "Xuanhuang". Situ sighed and said, Xuanhuang, in addition to referring to color in general, also means that blood flows like a river.
A river of blood? What does that mean? After hearing this terrifying word, Hu Zongren finally looked a little nervous. Situ said, one side is the end, and the other side is blood light, that is, this level may be the most dangerous level you are about to encounter so far. As for whether there is anything more dangerous after this, no one can say, you have to at least pass this level first, and then say, this hexagram of the six hexagrams, all yang or all yin, are all fierce signs. If you can't get by, Hu Zongren, I'm afraid your life is in danger!
Hu Zongren stood dumbfounded, after a while, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to Situ, then I have to trouble you again if I say anything, help me!
