Chapter 955: Carving a Boat for a Sword
Song Siyuan picked up the map and stared carefully at the direction of the gossip they marked, the location of Shennong Peak was not far from the Ghost Language Forest, she said: "Boss Tan also mentioned that when they find Shennong Peak, they must pass through the Ghost Language Forest, the location of this Ming Shennong Peak is close to the earthquake position of the Ghost Language Forest, according to the direction of the gossip, it is the Qiangua that represents the entrance and the birth gate, and this position is not too far away from the earthquake position where we are. ”
Seeing that he had already found the clue to the entrance to the other world, the Ghost Fang Sect said excitedly: "Does that mean that we can go over now?" ”
"Not necessarily."
Just when the Ghost Fang Sect felt hopeful, Xu Xiake's words made everyone calm down.
"Why?"
Now that the direction of the Qiangua, as long as he finds the strange environment represented by the Qiangua, he can find the entrance to the other world of the Ghost Sect, and as soon as the Taoist priest's words came out, he was also puzzled in his heart.
Xu Xiake waited for everyone to look at him, and continued: "Let me tell you a story first, in ancient times, there was a man who crossed the river by boat, and when he reached the middle of the river, the sword in his hand fell into the water, and the tourists on the boat saw that he was not in a hurry and became curious, and asked him why the sword fell into the water and was not in a hurry. ”
"The ancients took out a dagger, carved a knife on the hull of the sword fell to leave a mark, and also told these fellow tourists that he had marked the mark, and then salvaged according to the position of the mark when the boat landed, and after the boat landed, the ancients could not salvage the sword, which caused the people around to laugh more than once, and some people said bluntly, the hull has been sailing in the river, what is the use of you just painting a mark on the hull, of course you can't salvage things by carving the boat for the sword."
"If we follow the direction of the gossip, we will belong to carving a boat to seek a sword."
At this point, Xu Xiake's expression became serious: "When the ghost people fled into Shennongjia, it was probably the last year of the Shang Dynasty, and at that time, the post-gossip of King Wen of Zhou had not yet begun to appear, and what we are using now is the post-gossip of King Wen. ”
"In other words, the cadre position we thought was not actually a cadre position in ancient times, or if we really went to the current cadre position, most of them had to be blind, and it was impossible to find the real entrance."
"So, what do you think?"
Song Siyuan knew that only a Taoist priest like Xu Xiake was an internal colonel about gossip
Xu Xiake continued: "The gossip is divided into the first gossip and the latter gossip, the first gossip refers to the Heluo gossip of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors until the Xia and Shang periods, including Lianshan Yi and Guizang Yi, and the latter gossip refers to the gossip created by King Wen of Zhou. ”
Xu Xiake's meaning, they already understand very well that when the ghost people fled into Shennongjia, the Zhou Dynasty had not yet begun, and even if it started, it was only the early Zhou Dynasty, and the appearance of King Wen's gossip was later, which also means that the gossip used by the ghost people must be the first gossip.
Ghost Fangzong sighed: "Then this is troublesome, there are still traces of the post-gossip, the first gossip disappeared as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, who can find the first gossip?" ”
Yue Guanchao knew in his heart that the ghost old man was really good, and the "Lianshan" and "Guizang" that recorded the first gossip had long disappeared, and after King Wen of Zhou discovered the secret of the mirror world, in order to keep this secret, the gossip was modified to the later gossip, blocking the way of the mirror world in later generations.
When they were in the Ancestral Vein Soul Palace, they did find the scroll of "Lianshan Yi" by the court, but this scroll was in the hands of the Chao family, and it would take a lot of effort for them to get Lian Shanyi back at this time.
"Could it be that I am destined to not find the soul bone of the Ghost Fang family......" The Ghost Fang Sect has been planning for decades, the purpose is to save the soul bone, and now it is stuck in Lianshan Yi's step, it is indeed a pity.
"Ahem!"
When everyone was uncomfortable, Yue Qingshan on the side coughed a few times: "It's not that there is no way, when we came out, I asked my brother to pass Lianshan Yi, this Lao Tzu was reluctant to give me the original scroll, and he also knew that this line was very dangerous, so he copied all the complete scrolls of Lianshan Yi to me." ”
The mountains and rivers are suspicious, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and the Ghost Fang Sect listened to Yue Qingshan's words: "Brother, you didn't lie to us?" ”
"When have I ever lied to someone."
Lao Yuetou motioned to Sun Daqiao on the side, he found the cloth bag hanging on his body, took out a bamboo tube from it, and after opening it, it was Lianshan Yi copied from white silk cloth.
Xu Xiake took the scroll of Lianshan Yi, carefully browsed all the texts and gossip diagrams, and nodded to Zhongru: "Indeed, this thing is gossip first." ”
The thing has been in hand, the Taoist priest will be the first gossip and King Wen gossip comparison, really as he thought, the direction of the hexagram is completely different, he finished reading the location of the first gossip, explained to everyone: "According to King Wen's gossip, the Qiangua is not far away from us, but if it is according to the first gossip, the Qiangua is far away from our location." ”
Let's go, the map was marked with the location of the first gossip, and the entrance to the Qiangua, which was originally not far from Shennong Peak, has been marked in the deep mountains at this moment.
Song Siyuan looked at the latest marked directions, they followed the route of the post-gossip, from the shock hexagram to the Qiangua, they only need to go through the reclamation hexagram and the Kan hexagram, and now they are arranged again according to the first gossip, from the Zhen hexagram and the Qiangua, they have to go through Kun, Ken, Kan, Xun, and then they can get to the Qiangua, which is equivalent to twice the distance from the previous one, and it also means that the danger they have to face will also be tripled.
"So, can't we go around it from the opposite direction?"
Yue Guanchao stared at the map, if you look at it from the opposite direction, the Zhen hexagram and the Qiangua are only separated from the separation hexagram and the exchange hexagram, and the distance between the post-gossip is the same.
Xu Xiake shook his head, looking at him with a foolish look: "We are only drawing a relative position on the map now, not an absolute position, the area of Shennongjia is so large, between the directions and the directions, not next to each other as we understand, perhaps, it is in a position far away, according to your understanding, it is more convenient to fly from our position to the dry position, the key is, do we have the ability to fly?" ”
Xu Xiake's words basically rejected Yue Guanchao's proposal, that is, they had to start from the earthquake position and go through Kun, Ken, Kan, and Xun to the Qianli position in order to achieve their wishes.
In this case, among the ten monsters, there is no trace of getting lost in the mountains, meeting savages in the deep gorge of the wild mountains, belonging to the empty hexagram that summarizes the whole process, and the remaining eight monsters, they have to experience the ghost whispering of the pillar forest in turn, the strange livestock walk on the ground, the stone house raises the god-headed chicken, the cold and warm cave is bright, the arrow bamboo builds the ownerless nest, the sun and the moon decline and the tide, all of them are indispensable.
Song Siyuan looked at Yutu: "If we have to experience these strange phenomena of Brother Xu, then we have to plan well, how to survive the danger, I don't think it's an easy thing." ”
At the beginning, Tan Yanqiu told that when they came to Shennongjia to rob the ancient Chu tomb, they already knew how dangerous Shennongjia was, not some supernatural ghost forest, just the strange animals all over the ground made people's scalps numb, as long as they went out of Shennong Peak to the deep mountains, they didn't even have a guiding stone, and they would be lost at least or their lives would be in danger, and they should not be taken lightly.
"I see that the situation has changed, we have to think about it in the long run, the sun has set, we need to hurry back to the temple."
When they came to Shennong Peak, it had already taken a lot of time, and now it was a shelf and a riddle, the time was not early, it was dark in the mountains very early, and seeing the sun slanting over the clouds, there was already the strength of dusk.
Just now, the words of the Ghost Fang Sect have already made it clear that the Shennongjia at night is not destined to be peaceful, and they are asked to go to the building, probably to avoid the fierce beasts, and at the same time, to avoid the severe cold and hypothermia.
When the Ghost Fang Sect repaired the Shennong Sheji Temple, they mostly lived in the atrium temple, and they came to the atrium through the verandah to enter the courtyard.
The land of the atrium is hardened on the surface of the rain, the bluestone slab rammed earth is flat and covered with stones, it is extremely firm when walking, neither the weeds are diffused nor the stones are loose, it can be seen that the craftsmen have done enough work at that time, in the hug of the courtyard verandah, the temple is in the middle of the temple, the yellow tile and red wall, the ridge is open by the kiss, the colorful decoration, the corridor is exquisite, the palace is left and right, and there is another tower and the flying corridor.
"The palace in front is too simple, it is not easy to keep warm at night, this atrium temple is just suitable for living, so we will temporarily occupy the palace as a resting place."
As he spoke, Ghost Fang Sect led everyone to approach the porch of the temple, and after the craftsmen on the side pushed open the door of the temple, they stepped into the temple
This temple is a building in the Tang and Song dynasties, and its shape and structure are no different from other Tang and Song dynasty buildings, but since the temple is used as a sacrificial occasion, it must be different from other temples, and some changes have been made.
First of all, what catches your eye is the huge shrine in front of the temple, which is as big as a house, basically three or four meters after the same size of a house, like a sedan chair with regular squares, carved railings and paintings, falling on a stone platform above the ground.
In the shrine, there is a stone statue of Shennong with a cloak and horns.
The appearance of this stone statue is very simple, neither the splendor and wealth of the gods, nor the majesty and domineering of the emperors in the world, Shennong is just wearing a very ordinary coarse cloth clothes, white clothes and bottoms, belts and knees, hair on the shoulders, and horns on the top of his head.
The face is round and natural, benevolent and generous, the facial features are natural and well-proportioned, and there are few sharp edges and corners, most of which are carved with rounded arcs, the mouth and nose, and the posture of stepping on auspicious clouds, holding the primitive farm tools in the hand.
Around this shrine, there are more than 20 types of shrines, enshrined in the portraits of the emperors of the past dynasties, starting from King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty and ending with the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, occupying both sides to the full.
Bypassing the shrines on both sides, you can see the double door openings, from which you can walk up to the attic on the second floor, but also to the verandah and the towers on both sides.
