Chapter 271: Nine Songs: Hebo Chapter
Li Mu stood on the bronze tree, climbing the branches of the bronze tree with one hand and building a pergola with the other, looking into the distance. Because the leaves on the bronze tree were shining, Li Mu saw that under the column that supported the coffin platform, there were shadows, and there seemed to be something.
Li Mu continued to slide down the rope, and with the bronze tree as an aid to descend, Li Mu descended much faster. And the bright light emitted by those bronze leaves gave Li Mu a great sense of security.
About half an hour later, Li Mu's feet finally guessed on the ground. Li Mu's heart that has been hanging can finally be put down. He glanced up at the way he came, and the platform above was already in darkness and could no longer be seen. Li Mu gently tugged on the rope, glad that the rope prepared by Ling Jiuhao was long enough to allow him to descend to the bottom safely. However, in doing so, he also used up all the ropes.
Li Mu turned around and glanced at the huge bronze tree behind him, standing on one of the bronze trees just now, looking at the other six trees, the shocking feeling was not strong. Now Li Mu stood under the bronze tree and looked up, only to be completely shocked.
The branches of the bronze tree are not straight, but are specially shaped into the twisted shape of the city. However, each branch is completely separated, and this twisted structure does not make the branches knot together, but rather gives the giant tree a very exaggerated, tooth-and-claw form. This, combined with the glowing leaves on each trunk, gives these bronze trees a sacred and eerie feel from top to bottom.
This strange feeling lingered in Li Mu's heart and lingered. Li Mu couldn't help but touch the wide trunk of the bronze tree with his hand before he turned to leave. Li Mu held the firefly beads and walked towards the bronze pillar. What he saw on the tree just now made Li Mu a little concerned.
When Li Mu got closer, he found that this was a towering platform, and a cone-shaped object standing on the high platform. Its pointed end is below, like an upside-down mountain, but it is divided into several layers, as if there are many other things. Li Mu measured it, and the height of the vertical cone was about five zhang, which was very small compared to the surrounding bronze trees. And because he was small and big, he seemed to be able to climb up the outer edge to investigate.
However, Li Mu did not act rashly. He first circled around the perimeter and checked his surroundings. He found that the platform was made of bronze and white jade. In front of the inverted hanging mountain, there is a step. Li Mu climbed the stairs and found that it and the bronze pillar were placed on this high platform.
"The sky is round. It makes sense. Li Mu muttered to himself. He could now sort out the general topography of the tomb. Where he stood now was a boxy platform, and from the steps he came the upside-down mountain of overhang, and then the bronze pillar that supported the platform of the coffin overhead. If it is understood according to the round sky, then it is not an exaggeration to call this bronze pillar Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime communicates this world. And beyond the high platform, there are seven bronze giant trees as a foil.
Li Mu was standing in front of the upside-down hanging mountain at this time, and he had already determined that the bottom was very solid. So, he jumped and pulled to the first floor.
Li Mu held the firefly bead and looked inside, and found that in this layer of space, there was a golden lion the size of a real lion. The lion was golden and roaring, and it looked very powerful. And the technique of carving it seems to continue the delicacy of the words in the bronze room overhead. Not only the mane on the neck is delicate, but also the feeling of movement.
Seeing this golden lion, even though Li Mu didn't understand jewelry and antiques, he also understood that this lion must be worth a lot of money.
Li Mu watched for a while, and then climbed up to the second floor. Inside the second layer is a phoenix carved from a single piece of brilliant ruby. There are no cracks on this ruby, and it is crystal clear and has a smooth color. The phoenix spreads its wings in the flames, as if it is being reborn from the fire. If the golden lion just now is worth a lot of money, then this phoenix is probably worth a lot of money.
Seeing these two things, Li Mu was even more curious about the things at the top. This is the inverted hanging mountain that is a container, so is the value of the things hidden in it also getting bigger and bigger? Thinking of this, Li Mu sped up.
Coming to the third floor, Li Mu took a look, but was stunned. Because this third layer just put a sword with a sheath. The scabbard is ordinary, and there is no decoration on the hilt of the sword. This made Li Mu pay special attention to this sword. Because obviously, if this is really an ordinary sword, how can it be placed here? If it can be placed here, then the value of this sword should be above the golden lion and the ruby phoenix!
Li Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the sword. Because, he has always lacked a good sword. Now, there was a sword comparable to the golden lion and the ruby phoenix, how could Li Mu not be moved? He really wanted to pull out this sword to see if the blade was still sharp.
However, Li Mu still held back. Just now he counted the number of layers of this upside-down hanging mountain, and there were seven layers. This is only the third floor, and there are as many as four floors above. He hadn't seen the remaining four layers yet, and maybe there were even more valuable swords on them. Even if it wasn't a sword, Li Mu wanted to know what was on it. "Let's go up and have a look. With such thoughts, Li Mu continued to climb up.
In the process of climbing, Li Mu noticed that the space between the third and fourth floors seemed to be much larger than the first and second floors.
The fourth layer is a row of white green jade carvings. These green jades do not contain a trace of impurities and are extremely pure. They were carved into the waxing and waning of the moon. From the image of the crescent moon on the far left, to the full moon in the middle, and then to the crescent moon. In terms of numbers, it is also seven.
The fifth layer, which continues the style of the first layer, is also a beast. This is a white tiger carved from crystal. However, unlike the golden lion, the lines on the white tiger's body are inlaid with black gemstones. Needless to say, the craftsmanship is natural, as if it is grown from crystal.
On the sixth floor, there is a two-headed wolf carved from an amethyst. Strangely enough, thunder and lightning are depicted all around the wolf's body. This is similar to the second layer of the depiction of flames. The fifth and sixth floors, whether they are the size of the space or the things inside, seem to correspond to the first and second layers.
After spending some more effort, Li Mu came to the seventh layer. After seeing the things in the six layers below, Li Mu thought that no matter what appeared in front of him on the seventh layer, he would not be surprised. But when he saw what was in front of him, he was still shocked.
Inside the seventh level, a giant dragon surrounds a life-size figure. The dragon was made of gold scales, and each scale was inlaid with a jewel. Li Mu took a glance and saw that those jewelry materials corresponded to all the gemstone materials from the first layer to the sixth layer. This makes the dragon stand out.
However, the statue he was surrounding was a whole piece of mutton fat white jade. The face of this portrait is smiling, the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, the lips and cheeks, a sense of freedom and purity. Li Mu stared at the portrait, and actually remembered the four words of Baoxiang solemnity in his heart.
The portrait is extremely plain, in stark contrast to the magnificent dragon behind him. The more Li Mu looked at it, the more he felt that this person was outstanding. That face seemed to be engraved in his mind.
This face appeared in Li Mu's mind, smiling and beautiful. In a trance, Li Mu only felt that there was only one person in the sky and on the ground. And he himself, inexplicably, had a dry mouth, and his heart was also bored, and the blood in his body seemed to be rushing in his body, trying to find an outlet for catharsis.
Li Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong, he quickly withdrew his gaze and calmed down. But the more you want to be pure, the more impure you become. The figure seemed to take root in the brain and lingered. At this time, Li Mu needed foreign objects to suppress his thoughts. But he didn't know anything, so he could only recite the "Nine Songs" silently.
"Nine Songs" silently recited the past one by one, Li Mu's mood eased slightly, but it did not cure the root cause. However, when he silently read the article "Hebo", a sudden change occurred.
"Swim with the woman in the nine rivers, rushing to the wind and waves. He only recited the first two sentences silently, and the true qi in his body stirred up for no reason. True qi is stimulated from within the dantian and flows back and forth in the twelve righteous meridians, such as the three yin meridians of the hand, the taiyin lung meridian of the hand, the pericardial meridian of the yin, and the shaoyin heart meridian of the hand.
Li Mu's heart moved, didn't the situation in his meridians correspond to this sentence?
The last time there was such a situation was on the way to Huangzhu County, when he encountered the Annihilation Killer, and Shen Li fell into a life-and-death situation, he was shocked and angry, and used the martial arts related to the article "Yun Zhongjun". Since then, Li Mu has never used martial arts related to "Nine Songs".
Thinking of this, Li Mu was overjoyed, and he continued to read the chapter of "Hebo".
"Take a waterwheel and a lotus, and drive two dragons. These two sentences, Li Mu previously understood them as driving a dragon car in the water. However, now, the true qi has become the water of the nine rivers, constantly agitating, so the dragon chariot coming and going in the water, doesn't it mean that you want to control this true qi?
However, Li Mu didn't know that his True Qi would suddenly be like this, so when he tried to control his True Qi, he failed.
Li Mu had no choice but to continue to ask for help in the "Hebo" chapter. The next two sentences are "Ascend Kunlun and look around, and the heart is soaring." The sun will be twilight, but the extreme Pu is nostalgic. After repeating these two sentences, he thought of a solution.
In fact, although Li Mu's true qi is sufficient and can be released, it means that he has entered the realm of Najing. But how to absorb the essence, he still can't do it. But at this moment, when Li Mu saw the sentence "Deng Kunlun looked around, his heart was soaring", he seemed to be enlightened and understood something.
These two sentences describe the state of mind. In the realm of accepting essence, what is practiced is the original mind.
Li Mu closed his eyes, he just recited this sentence silently, emptying his mind and clearing his mind. He focused his thoughts on the surging true qi. Then, the next sentence "will forget the twilight, but the extreme Pu Xi is nostalgic." In Li Mu's mind, the first half of the day was twilight but he forgot to return, and he was also writing about God. Li Mu's state of mind at this time has obviously reached the realm of forgetting to return. All his attention is on his true qi. I don't feel the turmoil in the outside world, and I am focused on every inch.
When the second half of the sentence appeared, Li Mu already fully understood what to do. The meaning of this sentence is that only the end of the river makes me sleep. Even the sleep is silent in the river, isn't this what it means to melt your thoughts into your true qi?
Li Mu sat there with his eyes closed, and an hour passed quietly.
Suddenly, Li Mu opened his eyes, and he pushed out a palm with one hand.
A loud noise came from the bronze tree dozens of zhang away, and the huge bronze tree trembled, and the leaves on the tree were like rain.
