Chapter 222: The Western Spirit Beast The Gate of the Five Elements
Fluttershy groaned for a long time, then looked up and said, "The so-called big lifters are all in a difficult situation, and we can only take one step at a time!"
The three of them talked for a while, and then went to rest.
Early the next morning, Shui Ling'er woke up Fluttershy and Master Dahui early, and Fluttershy immediately asked, "Ling'er, why are you doing so early?"
Shui Ling'er nodded and said, "Do you remember the five strange stone walls in the stone room of the outer hall?"
Fluttershy says, "Yes." What, is there a problem?"
Shui Ling'er said: "No, we were only thinking about escaping in the stone room that day, and we haven't really seen it clearly, I want to take a closer look with you again." ”
Fluttershy said, "That's fine, this stone room is so secret, there must be something else inside." ”
Shui Ling'er said: "I think so, too." ”
In front of the Venerable Master, the Great Wisdom first lit the candles, and the room was immediately filled with light.
Although Shui Ling'er observed this stone wall for the second time, she was still excited when she saw the lifelike reliefs on the wall and smelled the fragrance of her nose, and said happily: "The carvings here are really perfect! Come, come here, look at this newly discovered pattern!"
Fluttershy looked forward, and was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said, "This ...... Isn't this butterfly pattern a butterfly sect? Why didn't I notice it at the beginning? It's exactly the same as mine!" After that, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal the "ice butterfly" markings on his shoulder! Although this pattern was deliberately modified by the tattoo artist later, it is still clearly visible!
Master Da Hui and Shui Ling'er were stunned, and there was an incomprehensible deep meaning in their expressions. After a long time, the Venerable Master Dahui gasped, nodded thoughtfully, and pondered.
Shui Ling'er also suddenly smiled brightly, and joked: "Aren't you also a member of the 'Butterfly Sect'?"
Fluttershy said, "It used to be, but it won't be anymore!"
Shui Ling'er sees Fluttershy's deliberate evasion. Suddenly, he said gloomily: "Hmph, stingy, your secret is not far away from me!"
Fluttershy looked at the contemplative Venerable Master Hui and wondered, "Master, this place is so secret, could it be that the former refuge of the Butterfly Sect was the place of refuge?"
The Venerable Master shook his head and said, "I believe not, if it is used as a place of concealment, why should it be built so magnificently. Besides, there are no beds or couches for the furnishings here. There are only stone tables and stone benches, which are like a living room, and looking at the layout here, it does not seem to be used for hiding. Although this stone room is still spacious, after all, it can only accommodate two or three hundred people, and that Hua Baiyan is the head of the group of thieves, and there are more than 10,000 people under his command, so what's the use of wanting this place?"
Fluttershy nods.
At this time, Shui Ling'er stared at the stone door on the wall, and then stretched out her hand to push it away. There was no movement. Fluttershy laughed, "I'll try!" and took a deep breath and pressed her hand against the stone door, only to feel the cold of her hand. He pushed hard, but still didn't move.
Even though he slammed his arm and screamed violently, the ice palm pushed out hard. The stone gate is still standing majestically, standing as before.
The Venerable Master Dahui frowned and said, "These five stone walls obviously have door gaps, and they are obviously stone gates. But there are no door cymbals, where is the switch?"
Everyone pushed around, but they couldn't see the slightest clue, and after thinking for a long time, they suddenly heard Fluttershy "Huh": "Yes, maybe the problem is here." ”
The Venerable Master asked, "What do you see? Do you see where the switch is?"
Fluttershy shook her head, "I don't know where the switch is, but I'm sure it has something to do with it." ”
Shui Ling'er pulled him, her face full of excitement: "What the hell is it? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly." ”
Their eyes fell on his face, and Fluttershy said, "Look closely, the carvings on the five stone doors are different. Master, do you recognize what it is?"
The Venerable Master Dahui frowned and said, "This is a dragon, this is a phoenix, this is a tiger, this is a dragon, but what is this? A turtle is not like a turtle, a snake is not like a snake, and its tail is so long, what kind of monster is this?"
Fluttershy laughed, "It's not a monster, it's a hybrid of a turtle and a snake, it's one of the spirit animals, and in the Five Elements, it's called "Xuanwu", and some people call it "Black Warrior", it's a turtle and snake that combines turtles and snakes to fertilize." ”
Shui Ling'er was still Zhanger King Kong, a little confused, and asked: "Will snakes and turtles ,,, that?" I grew up in the mountains, and I have seen a lot of snakes and turtles, but I have never seen this thing. ”
Fluttershy laughed, "In ancient times, Xuanwu was just a turtle, and its original meaning was Xuanming. Xuan means black, and Shen means yin. The back of the turtle is black, because the turtle is to invite the turtle to the underworld to ask the ancestors, and to show the world with divination. However, turtles mostly live by the sea, so Xuanwu became the god of water, and turtles have a long life, so they are considered a symbol of immortality. Also, the underworld is located in the north, so Xuan Ming has become the god of the north. ”
Dong Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said: "Brother Luo Kai, you just said turtle, what about the snake?"
Fluttershy continues, "Snakes have a strong vitality, and in winter, they hibernate and molt, and are believed to have the ability to regenerate, becoming a symbol of life, death, and reincarnation. However, since the appearance of the "dragon", the head of the spirits, the identity symbol of the snake began to decline, and it was squeezed into the Xuanwu, and became one spirit with the turtle. ”
Fluttershy pointed to the stone gate on the right side of the bronze gate and said, "This carved pattern is the "Green Dragon", which belongs to the wood in the east, this is the "Vermilion Bird", and the five sides belong to the fire in the south, this is the "White Tiger", and the five parties belong to the gold in the west, this is the "Xuanwu", the five sides belong to the water in the north, and this is the "Yellow Dragon", and the five directions belong to the earth in the center. The carvings of these five stone doors are obviously carved and embedded according to the five elements, and the location of the switch must be related to the five elements. ”
The Venerable Master Da Hui crossed his hands over his chest, stared at the pattern on the stone door, nodded and said, "Have you noticed these horizontal lines, which are the patterns surrounding the spirit beast?"
The insects and the water looked at each other, but found that the surroundings of the spirit beast were carved with horizontal stripes, some long and some short. Fluttershy frowned, and then suddenly said, "Although these stripes are not obvious, they seem to be ...... It is the horizontal line of "gossip". ”
Fluttershy points to three horizontal lines in a row and says, "That's right, it's the stripes of gossip, it's 'dry." Then he pointed to the three interrupted horizontal lines: "This is "Kun", this is Zhen, Kan, Gen, Xun, Li, and Point. And these gossip horizontal lines are carved in eight directions. The pattern of "Qian" is at the bottom, which is exactly the south, and the pattern of "Kun" is at the top of the middle, which is exactly the north, and it is clear that these horizontal lines are arranged in the direction of the eight trigrams.
