Chapter 40: A Familiar Stranger
Standing in the boundless and vast realm, I felt only emptiness and silence when I walked up the steps to the platform with three huge mirrors, and suddenly stood in place.
Tianji said that this place is extraordinary, ordinary people don't want to say it, they can't even see it, Tianji can see the Sanqu True Realm because we were in it before, so he will be so respectful and shocked when he sees me.
But my expression now is very similar to that of him at that time, because before I came here, someone had already arrived before me, and I saw a man in a cloak and black standing under the three huge mirrors, and I could only see the back of that person, and Tianji had said that no one had ever shown the Three Songs of Truth, and there was anyone else who could come here except me.
I walked over in confusion, I believed that the man should be able to hear my footsteps, but the man in black did not look back, did not even move his body, and when I approached, I saw that the man's cloak was pressed so low that I could not see his face clearly, and a black shadow hung over his face.
"The true realm of the five emperors of Diqu, it is not difficult to say that it is easy to say, if you want to solve this map, you must first understand what this picture means."
The man was talking to me, as if he knew I was coming, but what surprised me now was not how this man knew about the truth of the three songs, but the young and irresistible majesty of this man's voice, but it was so familiar, it was so familiar that I couldn't remember who it was.
It's like the bright moon hanging in the sky, but no one deliberately pays attention to it every day, so no one knows when the bright moon rises and sets, just like the person in front of me.
The only thing I can be sure of is that this is a man's voice, among the people I am familiar with, only Xiao Lianshan and Wen Zhuo get along with each other day and night, but I am sure that it will definitely not be their voice.
I wanted to ask him who he was, but if he did, he wouldn't cover his face with his cloak, so I adjusted my confusion and focused on what he had just said.
"Do you know what this picture means?"
"Do you know why this mirror is called the Five Emperors True Realm?" The man didn't answer the question.
I shook my head blankly, he continued to ask me, I know that the five emperors refer to the five emperors, I still shook my head blankly, in front of this person, I suddenly felt so stupid, just like I looked at Xiao Lianshan, and I believe that this feeling is not only me, even he has it.
So he was not surprised at all and asked by pointing to the pattern on the mirror.
"Since you don't know the most basic things, how can you break this ground curved mirror, you calm down and take a good look at the first picture on the upper left, tell me what it looks like?"
This man was like a mentor who was kind to him, and his voice was not too old to hear, but every word he said revealed an irresistible majesty, and I was completely drawn by his voice, and walked over and looked up in the direction of his finger.
To be honest, I couldn't really see what the pattern was, and I shook my head apologetically.
"You are too persistent, you have to see through the meaning of this picture, in fact, the simplest is also the most complicated, you can tell me as you like, what do you look like at first glance?" The man asked unhurriedly.
I followed his train of thought and revisited the first pattern and replied thoughtfully.
"Like an ape walking through the mountains."
"Okay, so what are you looking at the second image on the top right?" The man didn't judge right or wrong, and let me continue to discern.
I found myself completely as naΓ―ve as if I was reading a picture, but I still couldn't resist any of his requests, and I answered after reading it carefully for a long time.
"Like an old man sitting in a precarious position."
"What does the third picture on the bottom left look like?"
"Like ...... It's like a stone wall. β
The man never judged whether my answer was right or wrong, and continued to point to the fourth picture in the lower right and ask me.
I just tell the way he says it, completely by the first sight.
"Fourth portrait from the bottom right...... Like a flying bird. β
"Then what do you look like in the middle of the last one?"
...... "I struggled to identify for a long time, using almost all my imagination and answering uncertainly." The last one is like a recumbent person. β
The man's hand slowly retracted, and I couldn't see his face, the only thing I could see was the corner of his mouth in the shadow, and I could see that he was satisfied with my answer.
"The ape that crossed the mountains, the old man sitting on his lap, a stone wall, a flying bird, and a lying man, you have seen the form of these five pictures, and you are also a man of the past and the present." The man paused for a moment and said meaningfully. "Think about what these five figures mean, I believe that there should be records in the ancient books that Qin Yishou left you."
I was stunned, he actually knew Qin Yishou, and what surprised me even more was that he actually knew Qin Yishou's ancient books, those ancient books that were treasured by Qin Yishou, and there were no people who knew it, and for a while I didn't understand how he knew these things.
"You...... How do you know ...... Qin?"
"Concentrate on thinking about the matter of the Five Emperors of the Diqu True Mirror, as for the rest, you don't have to worry about it, you can't take care of it, if you want to leave here, do as I say." The man's voice was cold and interrupted me.
I tried to calm my mind and calm my mind, and I confessed that I was full of curiosity and doubts about the person who suddenly appeared in front of me, but it was so familiar, but I couldn't remember who this person was.
Looking at this person's attitude, he didn't intend to solve these chaotic doubts in my heart, at least not now, but listening to his tone, he seemed to know the Sanqu True Realm in particular, and I was at a loss for the Diqu Five Emperors True Mirror, and it was rare for someone to prompt, for fear of missing this opportunity.
I sighed heavily and shook my head weakly at the figure as I thought about the five figures I had seen, still frowning, not knowing the connection and meaning of the ape crossing the mountain, the old man sitting in his lap, a stone wall, a bird, and a lying man.
"Sure enough, it's a fan of the authorities, just like you, it won't help to think about it here for a thousand years." The man's voice was full of a confident smile, and he said to me unhurriedly. "Then let me remind you again, what mountain is like an ape passing through the mountains?"
For this question, if someone asks me, most of the time I will laugh it off, the world's thousands of mountains and hills, each with its own form, not to mention other places, even this Dragon and Tiger Mountain has a mountain called the fairy monkey forest, but this word came out of this person's mouth, I didn't have the slightest intention of slacking off, and thought about his question very seriously.
There are thousands of mountains in the world, and there are countless apes like apes, but when it comes to fame......
I looked up suddenly, my eyes lit up and I said thoughtfully to the man.
"Beiyue Heng Mountain, high and deep valleys, flying ridges vertical and horizontal, such as apes climbing and jumping, because there is Heng Mountain such as apes to walk the saying...... It's rare that the meaning of this graphic refers to Beiyue Heng Mountain?! β
The man was silent for a long time, and suddenly he heard a smile coming from the thick cloak, like approval and affirmation, but more of pride.
"I know that you can understand it, since you can think that this picture refers to Beiyue Heng Mountain, then I believe that the other pictures will not be difficult for you."
Listening to his tone, I am right, if this image of an ape through the forest refers to Beiyue Heng Mountain, then the remaining four ...... I looked at the pattern in the mirror again, and all my doubts and confusions were immediately solved.
The old man I saw sitting in danger should be Mount Tai of Dongyue, its shape is huge, such as a giant sitting upright, the old dragon bell, solemn and majestic, because there is Mount Tai like a person sitting said.
And the stone wall should be Xiyue Huashan, Huashan is the best in the world, the shape is steep and dangerous, the wall stands like cutting, because there is Huashan like the wall stands.
Like the figure of the bird refers to the Nanyue Heng Mountain, the Heng Mountain is beautiful and enters the bird of the forest, the luster is beautiful, and it flies in the air, because there is a saying that the Heng Mountain is like a bird flying.
As for the person lying horizontally, it is Zhongyue Songshan, the appearance is wonderful, and it contains mystery, because there is Songshan as a person lying down.
These five pictures refer to the five mountains!
I suddenly took a few steps back, looked up at the words engraved on the mirror, the true line of the five emperors of Diqu, and suddenly found that I was so stupid, why did I not understand such a simple question, the meaning of these five pictures has always been told to me.
Dongyue Taishan is the Holy Emperor of Tianqiren, the main period of life and death, Nanyue Hengshan is the Holy Emperor of Si Tianzhao, Nanyue, the main world of astrological division, and the matter of the aquatic fish and dragon, Beiyue Hengshan is the Holy Emperor of An Tianyuan, the main river Huaiji, Xiyue Huashan is the Holy Emperor of Jin Tianshun, the main wealth and feathered birds, Zhongyue Artemisia Mountain is the Zhongtian Chongsheng Emperor, and the main land mountains, rivers and valleys.
Therefore, Wuyue is also known as the Five Emperors, so this mirror is called the Five Emperors of Diqu True Walking Mirror.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized, and my Adam's apple squirmed, and then I understood why that person made me think about the relevant records in Qin Yishou's ancient book.
"Looks like you already know what this is." The man turned slowly, and although he still couldn't see his face, he was satisfied to hear his voice.
I took a deep breath, nodded subconsciously, and replied with a trembling voice.
"I see...... This is the true line map of the five mountains! I've seen it in ancient books. β
"Since you can think of it so quickly, then you don't need me to bother to remind you, there is a lot of time tonight, I'll see how much ability you have, and this Wuyue True Behavior Diagram depends on how much you can comprehend."
"The grace of the seniors' guidance is not forgotten, and he dares to ask the seniors to respect their names, and he will be fortunate to meet again in the future." Since I know that this is the true line map of Wuyue, then at least there is a direction for the things that follow, and everything is difficult at the beginning, I can't imagine that this person can help me solve my doubts in a few words.
"Senpai......" The man suddenly laughed, a smile that I didn't understand at all, and when the laughter stopped, the man said to me meaningfully. You may not want to know my name, but if you can unlock the Five Mountains True Line Diagram tonight, I will tell you. β
