Chapter 20: Entering Mt. Aoki
The four of them walked along the Linghai all the way to the northeast, and the morning sun could not shine on the lake, this was because it was blocked by the small peak in the east, even if there was no mountain peak to block it, it was impossible to appear, and the scene of "Linghai Ripples, Aoki Clouds" was not in the right direction.
Along the way, Lin Yue felt very fresh, but Ye Xuan didn't have half a point of 'new joy', everything he passed by here was so similar to what he had encountered, the only difference was only the traces left by the years.
There was a sea of clouds in front of him, and it was here that the light curtain of the day appeared from this place, leaving behind the scene of Aoki clouds, and at this time Lu Qingqing and Mu Xue'er stopped.
"Why don't you leave, is this it?" Lin Yue asked.
"Well, it's already here!" Lu Qingqing said.
"Ah, here, there seems to be nothing here, except for this sea of clouds!" Lin Yue said, after hearing this, Lin Yue took a few steps forward, and looked here, under this sea of clouds is a steep cliff, which looks quite infiltrating, except for these, there is no road, let alone a door, not like what he imagined, there are buildings, gates and the like.
Ye Xuan also recalled that it seemed that something was wrong, shouldn't there be a boulder here, why was there nothing in front of him. Just when the two hesitated, they saw Lu Qingqing make a gesture, and then made a seal, slapped it on the cloud, and the cloud and mist around him faded a little, and a boulder flashed next to it, and it was clearly written: Qingmu Mountain, next to the boulder is a gate of light.
"Let's go!" Lu Qingqing signaled to them, and then he entered the light gate first.
Ye Xuan didn't hesitate, he followed Lu Qingqing in, Lin Yue was a little weak because he saw the steep cliff, he didn't dare to move forward, and hesitated a little.
"Let's go!" Mu Xue'er said to Lin Yue and made a gesture for him to go first.
"Really, it's here!" Lin Yue stammered, swallowing a mouthful of saliva after speaking.
"It's here, that's right, Ye Xuan, didn't they all go in. Mu Xue'er smiled.
"But ·····" Lin Yue said.
"It's nothing, let's go!" Cher urged.
Under Mu Xue'er's urging, Lin Yue took this difficult step with courage.
After entering the door, there was a large platform in front of him, Lin Yue saw Lu Qingqing and Ye Xuan standing in front of him, this was still a little timid, but as soon as he came in, the scene in front of him made Lin Yue stunned.
"Wow, it's beautiful, this is Wonderland. Lin Yue also rubbed his eyes, Ye Xuan was also a little amazed, although he had been mentally prepared before, but everything in front of him was still incomparable to the illusion.
"This place is built according to the direction of the gossip the day after tomorrow!" Lu Qingqing said.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Lin Yue compared it according to Lu Qingqing's words, the position of the door is due south, that is, the departure of the gossip the day after tomorrow, in front of him is a long stone staircase, leading directly to a magnificent and brilliant hall below, in front of the main hall is a large square, there are four arched marble bridges in the four corners of the square, arched to the four hanging islands higher, and there are four palaces on the hanging islands.
"Wow, these four floating islands are really ingenious!" Lin Yue said.
"The southeast Xun position is the east hall, the southwest Kun position is the south hall, the northwest cadre position is the west hall, and the northeast Gen position is the north hall!" Mu Xue'er pointed to these halls and said.
Although they are far away from the floating island, because the position of the station is the same as the height of the floating island, the main hall above can also be clearly seen, and the four palaces are the same style as the central hall, but the scale is a little smaller. From this height, you can see a small courtyard behind the central hall.
"Let's go, let's go down!" Lu Qingqing said and walked down first.
A few people thought about the direction of the main hall in front of them, and from time to time some cranes passed through the air, and Lin Yue began to look around, always in high spirits.
"This step is too long, it's better for us to fly down directly!" Lin Yue whispered a little complainingly.
"No!" Ye Xuan glared at Lin Yue, shook his head and said, this is also the minimum etiquette.
"There are 1,000 and 80 steps in total, and you can fly down, but although you can't die, it shouldn't be a problem for you to lie in bed for four or five days. Lu Qingqing said, continuing her pace.
Mu Xue'er sneered and said, "Senior sister, don't tease Lin Yue."
Then he said: "This step is a fixed number set according to the Dunjia Bureau, and at the same time, there is an enchantment in the air, even if you want to fly, you have to pay a price." ”
"Ah, and the enchantment, but luckily I didn't try. Lin Yue let out a sigh of relief.
"However, I remember that the Dunjia Bureau is not a Yin Nine Bureau and a Yang Nine Bureau, a total of eighteen rounds, there is no need to make such a large multiple, it is okay to be smaller, this number is also too big. Lin Yue asked with some puzzlement.
"If you want to talk about this Dunjia Bureau, I know a little bit. Ye Xuan said.
"Then tell me about it!" Mu Xue'er said with some curiosity.
"This Dunjia game was originally one thousand and eighty games, and then simplified to seventy-two games, and now what has been handed down is the last condensed version of eighteen games, which is what we call the Yin and Yang Nine Escapes. Ye Xuan said.
"If I'm not mistaken, when you fought with that Charm Rabbit Demon that day, the swordsmanship you used was also evolved from the Dunjia Bureau!" Mu Xue'er said.
"Yes, exactly. Ye Xuan said
"Can you please tell me what you know about this Dunjia Bureau!" Mu Xue'er said, and several people discussed it while going down the steps.
"In fact, this Dunjia 1,000 and 80 rounds, I don't know much about this ancient bureau, I only know these simplified bureaus, Dunjia bureaus are all used to use the 24 solar terms for the timing of the game, the sages according to the direction of the sun in different periods, the year is divided into 24 parts, one is a solar term, there are 24 solar terms. Ye Xuan said.
"Why didn't I find out about this before, it turned out to be like this, I only know rote memorization, hehe!" Lin Yue smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment, he was really ugly just now, and said something very childish, but he didn't care much.
Ye Xuan continued: "We take five days as a wait, this wait is just sixty hours, and it just happens to finish the Qimen one game, three waits for one gas, six times for the time, the time is divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, four is the year, and the twenty-four solar terms of the year are just seventy-two times, which is also the origin of the seventy-two rounds." ”
"I see!" Lin Yue said.
"The eighteenth bureau is to be one year old from the summer solstice, the winter solstice two sections are two, the summer solstice and winter are yin, this is the yang is long and the yin is born, the winter solstice and summer are yang, the yin is long and the yang is born, the yin is used when the yin is used, and the yang is used when the yang is used, which also contains the truth of yin and yang, which is why the Taiji diagram is the reason for the mutual growth of yin and yang!" Ye Xuan said, and before he knew it, several people had walked to the central square.
"As for the specific layout, this will refer to the Nine Palaces diagram. Ye Xuan added.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" at this time, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl applauded from the side.
"Who is this?" Ye Xuan looked at Lu Qingqing and Mu Xue'er.
"My name is Cicada. The girl herself said, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a dimple on her lovely smiling face, and she looked very clever.
"Chan'er, why are you here?" Lu Qingqing said.
"Senior Sister Lu, who is this senior brother! Dao Fa is so good, I don't seem to have seen it before!" Cicada didn't even look at the others, just looked at Ye Xuan.
"In Xia Ye Xuan, I'm just casually talking about it, Miss Xue'er is really knowledgeable!" Ye Xuan was interrupted by Cicada'er's laughter before he could finish speaking.
"Senior Sister Xue'er, when did you become proficient?" Cicada said with a hint of amusement.
"Actually, I don't know much about Yin-Yang Taoism, and today is the first time I've heard this!" Xue'er smiled and explained without concealment.
"Ah, no, your question just now doesn't look like that!" Lin Yue was taken aback.
"Don't talk about this, let's go, the masters are still waiting!" Lu Qingqing urged.
"Senior sister, what are you doing here?" Chan'er asked with some curiosity.
"You'll find out in a moment. Lu Qingqing said casually.
"Hey, it's still mysterious!Hmph!" Cicada was a little unhappy and stuck out her tongue, and at this moment, Chan'er suddenly reached out and lifted Lu Qingqing's veil. Then he played with it in his hands.
"You dead girl!" Lu Qingqing said a little angrily.
"Senior Sister Xue'er, you are also mysterious!" she also removed Xue'er's veil without Xue'er noticing, and then proudly held the veil and played with it in her hand. Ran into the distance.
Xue'er didn't react as strongly as Lu Qingqing, but her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, shyly afraid that others would see her. The fair skin matches her name very well, the ruddy lips match the high nose bridge, and the big eyes and pretty face match how perfect, isn't this the posture of "beauty is shy, and all flowers are lost".
Lin Yue had noticed the appearance of the two of them for a long time, if Lu Qingqing made him feel bright, then Mu Xue'er just surprised him, and he was fascinated, even Ye Xuan, who usually didn't pay attention to women, couldn't help but look at it a few times.
"Let's go, ignore her!" Lu Qingqing reminded and glanced at Mu Xue'er.
Xue'er immediately understood, led Ye Xuan and Lin Yue, and the four of them walked towards the main hall.
