Chapter 15: The Night Detective
"I said, I told you girls to eat less, in this passage, it's almost too crowded to walk. ”
“... Obviously, it's you, tell you to go to the front, you said that you are afraid of the dark, so you have to walk side by side with our two weak women!" Liu Qingyun roared angrily.
"Are you two weak women... Woo woo, the two heroines spare their lives, spare their lives!" a painful cry came from Qian Miao's mouth.
"Master, nothing will happen. Zhang Ziming said worriedly.
"Don't worry, little brother, your young master, Yueyue looks at her face thicker than the city wall, and she will definitely not have an accident. ”
"Hahahaha, little girl Yueyue, discerning. Liu Qingshan echoed with a smile.
The five of them set off from the woodland, but when they had a cup of tea, they came to the place where Zhang Ziming had fainted before. Yueyue saw the big pit on the ground at that time, her face was surprised, and she thought to herself, I won't throw that white-clothed fart into the ground, hehe, Yueyue, I'm awesome.
And there is a passage on the side of the big pit, and when you look inside, you can only feel that it is unfathomable.
Zhang Ziming stood on the edge of the passage, only to feel that there was indeed an extremely pure aura in the passage. Then they went into the passageway.
The passage is covered with stone stairs at the bottom, and is flanked by uneven rocks. When Zhang Ziming and his party first entered, the passage was narrower, and the further back they went, the more spacious it became, and then it was enough for five people to walk side by side.
Yueyue stopped and listened carefully, "There is the sound of water ahead." ”
Everyone hurriedly quickened their pace and continued to move forward. I saw a bronze stone gate appear in front of me, blocking the way. And the sound of water seems to come from behind this door.
There are two bronze statues on each bronze stone gate, and the bronze man carries a stone lantern in his hand. Qian Miao used his hand a little, and the true qi worked, and lit the stone lantern in the bronze man's hand. After a while, the firelight flickered and the lights flickered.
"Are these two guys just for lighting?" Qian Miao muttered.
"Look at the door!" exclaimed.
I saw that white light gradually came out of the original cyan stone door, and then two dragon patterns intersecting each other were formed on both sides of the stone gate.
Yueyue walked to the stone gate, groped the stone door with her hands, and found a slightly raised place. When I pressed hard, I saw that the two dragon shapes dimmed, and the middle bulge rotated, and a white jade plate appeared. And this jade plate has three rings of different sizes, each of which is engraved with the pattern of people, insects, birds, and beasts.
When everyone saw this, they were slightly amazed in their hearts.
"This jade plate is supposed to be the key to opening the stone door, but I don't know how to crack it?" Liu Qingshan said softly.
Everyone thought secretly, but they couldn't come up with a clue.
"There's something on the stone walls on both sides of the side, too. Ma Xiaoling suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at the stone walls on both sides. On one side of the stone wall, countless ghost-like symbols slowly emerged, while on the other side there were various patterns, such as birds, beasts, and various mountains and rivers.
Looking at the stone wall on the side of the symbol of Zhang Ziming, there is an inexplicable attraction, as if the symbols on the wall are constantly evolving. And after a long time, I only felt a headache and tinnitus.
Zhang Ziming didn't dare to look at it anymore, and turned his head to look at the other side. There was no reaction on this side, looking at it just a simple mural of mountains and rivers, miscellaneous notes of birds and beasts, and so on.
Zhang Ziming asked Yueyue in a low voice, "Yueyue, do you have any reaction when you see the symbol of the ghost drawing? ”
Yueyue shook her head and said with a concerned face, "Yueyue doesn't feel anything, but little brother doesn't feel well?" Little brother, be careful. ”
Zhang Ziming nodded and secretly agreed with what Yueyue said.
"Look at this pattern. Qian Miao shouted, "Is this pattern the same as the pattern on the jade plate?" ”
Everyone looked at it and saw that the pattern Qian Miao was referring to was also a disc, and the disc design was almost the same as the jade disc design on the stone gate. The disc painted on the wall is in the middle, with a man on the top, a bird on the bottom, an insect on the right, and a beast on the left.
Liu Qingshan smiled, "If it is really as painted on this pattern, then this must be the key to opening the stone door." I just don't know, what should be the interpretation of the pattern on this jade plate?"
"Could it be that the patterns on the jade plate are all turned in one direction, if the patterns correspond correctly, I think I can open the stone door. Ma Xiaoling said loudly.
If so, there are three rounds on this jade plate, and each wheel has four patterns. However, it is not easy to determine the front and back and arrangement of each pattern. Liu Qingyun sighed on the side.
Zhang Ziming was confused, looking at the patterns of people, insects, birds and beasts painted on the stone wall, but he had no clue. Yueyue was on the side, also playing with her fingers, and seemed to have no interest in the mural.
Qian Miao made a comparison with the pattern of the stone wall, patted his chest, and said confidently: "I know, the ancients said that heaven and man are one, and the herringbone pattern drawn on this wall must mean that these three patterns are people!"
Liu Qingyun rolled her eyes, "Then why do you still draw insects, birds and beasts, it's better to draw four people directly." ”
Qian Miao pursed her lips and said unconvinced, "Isn't it, just give it a try." With that, he walked towards the stone gate and turned the jade plate.
Everyone came over to find out. I saw Qian Miao turn the jade plate, and the three humanoid patterns were connected into a line. Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to speak.
I only heard the click of the jade plate, and a crack appeared on the jade plate, and there was no movement around.
Liu Qingyun slapped the back of Qian Miao's head, "Qian Da nerd, look at it, this must be wrong." Clumsy stupid. ”
Ma Xiaoling covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
"It seems that this jade plate only has a few chances to tolerate errors, if there are too many mistakes, I am afraid that it will be broken directly, and it will not be able to open this stone door when the time comes. Liu Qingshan said in a deep voice on the side.
Except for Yueyue, who became more and more sleepy, the rest of the people were secretly thinking about how to crack this stone gate.
"It's not the unity of heaven and man, what is it?Is it a man, beast, and insect?man, bird, and worm?," Qian Miao muttered softly.
Liu Qingshan looked at the stone wall carefully, and said to himself, "This mural looks old, this person, insects, birds and beasts, and it is a very ordinary thing, the ancients all said that they sense heaven and earth, pay attention to Taoism and nature, but what is the relationship between these four?"
Yueyue interjected: "What kind of insects, birds, can't be eaten on them." ”
When Zhang Ziming heard Yueyue's words, his heart suddenly flashed, and he remembered a passage recorded in the fragment of Da Luo: Life and all things, over and over again, endlessly, and endlessly.
Look at the drawings on the wall, people, insects, birds and beasts, isn't it just a cycle of endless life.
Zhang Ziming was excited, and he hurriedly told everyone what he wanted. When Qian Miao heard this, she nodded again and again, and laughed, "Reasonable, reasonable, it should be like this." ”
Liu Qingyun asked, "But according to Ziming, there are only three rings on this jade plate, how should this pattern be arranged?"
Zhang Ziming walked in the direction of Shimen, spinning the jade plate in his hand, and said to everyone, "The ancients believed that man is the beast of all things, so above this pattern, when man is in the center, that is, the herringbone pattern does not appear, but is lined up with insects, birds and beasts in turn. ”
Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this. Walk to the jade plate and wait quietly.
I saw a white light appear in the middle of the jade plate, and along the middle line, slowly passing through the three patterns of insects, birds and beasts. It then flows left and right, attaching to two dragon motifs on the wall that are connected end to end.
The dragon-shaped pattern turned, only to hear a muffled sound, and the stone door slowly turned inward.
Qian Miao patted Zhang Ziming on the shoulder and said, "It's worthy of my Ziming, and sure enough, this young master teaches well on weekdays." ”
The stone gate was completely opened, and everyone walked inside. I saw that there were several broken swords in the middle that were plunged straight into the ground, and there were faintly colored lights in them. And in the rest of the earth, there are carved mountains, rivers, flying insects and beasts. Among them, there is still water flowing in the mountains and rivers.
The walls were flickering with a ghostly light, making it impossible to see the painted image.
Yueyue took a step forward and touched the stone carvings on the ground. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound, a strong light flashed, and the stone gate closed instantly.
Everyone only felt that their souls were out of their bodies, their souls were floating, and the white light was shining all around, and they vaguely saw an old man appear.
"Who, disturb my peace!"
