181 The Eight Treasures of Taoism (Seeking Reading, Seeking Subscription)

"What did you find?" Wang Qiang turned around crookedly, almost startling Lin Yi.

This scorpion venom is really powerful, and he has already taken the antidote, and his face actually has sequelae symptoms similar to those of a stroke.

When the crisis is resolved, it is indispensable to give him a few stitches.

"There's an eight-treasure core lock, and there's a chain tied to the lock."

"Got a lock? Oops, great, there is a door to have a lock, which doesn't mean that we are in the right place! ”

When Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang saw this situation, they finally felt some comfort in their hearts.

"However, this lock is not so easy to open, you will have to hold it up for a while, let me study how to open this thing."

"Then you have to hurry, these guys aren't going to give us too much time."

Lin Yi nodded, and let Wukong hold the bright flashlight above his head and aim it at the lock.

The so-called Eight Treasures are because there are eight different patterns on them.

Buddhism and Taoism each have a set of eight treasures auspicious.

Treasure bottle, treasure cover, double fish, lotus, right-handed snail, auspicious knot, victory building, wheel of law.

These are the eight auspicious things of Tibetan Buddhism.

The eight treasures of Taoism are: fan, fish drum, lotus, gourd, sword, flower basket, flute, yin and yang board, these eight objects.

It comes from the eight magic weapons held by the "Eight Immortals" of Taoism.

The Eight Treasures in front of me is locked, and it happens to be engraved with the Taoist Eight Treasures pattern.

But Lin Yi didn't dare to start at the moment.

If this statue and the lotus seat were both made by a master in the early Tang Dynasty, then this eight-treasure core lock must also be from the hands of this master.

The problem is that the front of the "Eight Immortals" really "debuting in a group" is very long.

The earliest Tie Guan Li came from the Sui Dynasty, and the last uncle of Cao Guo was already from the Song Dynasty.

The distribution of the other six appears almost from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Just now, he confirmed with Qian Sheng again and again that all the furnishings here are no later, no matter how late they are, they are no later than the Kaiyuan period.

Could it be that this person really has the ability to predict the future?

"Lao Lin, what are you talking about? It's open! I really can't give it a shovel and smash the ball. ”

Wang Qiang urged while dealing with this group of scorpions in front.

"I'd like to smash it with a shovel, but once the lock cylinder inside this thing is forcibly damaged by external forces, it will immediately lock up and become a copper lump, if you can give us the whole angle grinder in, I don't mind smashing it open."

When Wang Qiang heard this, he immediately fell silent.

"Master Lin, if you want me to say, at this juncture, let's hesitate, if we delay for a while, I'm afraid there will be no chance of survival."

Qian Sheng's words are right.

This is their only chance at the moment, and if they delay like this, they will not be able to withstand the attack of the scorpion swarm, and all three of them will have to confess here.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi stabilized his mind.

Put aside distractions and concentrate on studying this lock.

Eight kinds of magic weapons, each on the first floor.

If you want to unlock this lock, you must first understand the principle based on which the person who designed the lock was in the first place.

Since it is the "Eight Treasures of Taoism", these magic weapons are equivalent to the incarnation of the "Eight Immortals".

Eight immortals, these are all familiar characters in Chinese folk.

And this lock, in the final analysis, still can't get rid of the yin and yang gossip, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing.

The Eight Immortals also coincide with the art of Bagua, and each represents a kind of hexagram.

Lu Dongbin belongs to the elephant of dry gold, and the symbol is a sword;

Tiegui Li belongs to the elephant of gold, and the symbol is a gourd;

He Xiangu belongs to the elephant of Kuntu, and the symbol is a lotus flower;

Uncle Cao Guo belongs to the elephant of the earth, and the symbol is a yin and yang board;

Zhang Guolao belongs to the elephant of Zhenmu, and the symbol is a fishing drum;

Lan Caihe belongs to the elephant of Xunmu, and the symbol is a flower basket;

Han Xiangzi belongs to the elephant of Kanshui, and the symbol is a flute;

Zhongliquan belongs to the elephant of fire, and the symbol is a fan.

In terms of where they are now, they are facing due north.

In terms of the gossip of the day after tomorrow, the north belongs to the Kan hexagram, and the five elements belong to water.

If the direction is used as the basis for judgment, the flute marked with the "image of the water" is turned to the bottom, and once it is determined, it cannot be changed.

As long as the first step is wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step, this lock will be completely locked.

According to the innate gossip, the north belongs to the cadre position, and the five elements belong to gold.

These two methods are completely two results.

And he, only one chance!

At this moment, he looked back and saw that Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang were maneuvering with the scorpion group, but fortunately, the area of the Vajra umbrella umbrella leaf was large enough to completely cover the three of them.

But these scorpions may be too eager to taste human flesh, no matter how they fight back, they just won't retreat.

Almost all of the equipment in the bag is used.

Even the paracord for survival was thrown out with a fire.

"Untie it, Lao Lin?"

Wang Qiang shouted at the top of his voice.

Lin Yi shook his head depressedly.

"There is no idea at all, as long as this thing takes one wrong step, it will be completely locked and cannot be opened."

"Master Lin, don't be discouraged, stabilize your mentality, look around, see if there are any hints or anything like that, since this master deliberately left this mark, he must want to help us get out of trouble."

As he spoke, Qian Sheng took out a pack of snake medicine from his pocket, put it in a mineral water bottle and made a few strokes, poked his head out from under the umbrella, and sprinkled the snake medicine on the umbrella leaves.

Wang Qiang grabbed the handle of the umbrella with both hands, turned sharply, and threw off all those hidden-tailed scorpions.

"This is the last pack, and if this guy wants to climb up, we will have to pinch it ourselves."

The Tibetan tail scorpions, which had been splashed with the dissolved snake poison, were stimulated by the potion and gave up their attack, turning around and fleeing to the nearest stone statue.

It is possible that these stone statues are their nests underneath them, and they are connected to each other.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that the two stone statues closest to the lotus platform were different from the others.

The way these two Shi Wenzhong held their swords was very strange.

Ordinary Wen Zhong holds a sword with both hands up and down the hilt, with the blade facing the left and right.

And the angle of the blades of the two Shi Wenzhong's swords was slightly tilted, facing the position of the lotus platform, and the tips of the swords did not touch the ground.

The main thing is the pedestal at his feet, which is not a square, but an octagon.

The placement of the stone statue is symmetrical, not to mention that it is still a mausoleum-level specification!

You can't just have two stone statues with different shapes, right?

This accidental discovery suddenly flashed a thought in Lin Yi's mind:

Could this be an important reminder from the predecessors?

He didn't think much about it, and immediately borrowed the strong flashlight from Wukong's hand, jumped up, climbed on the lotus platform with one hand, and then looked into the distance.

Sure enough, it was not what he expected.

Every two stone statues, there will be a statue with an octagonal base, and the shape is slightly different from the other stone statues.
