Chapter 202: Where is the Green Dragon?

"Could it be that you are the spirits of the five elements?" Wang Ran looked at the four of them here, and it was really a little interesting. As a result, the four little guys didn't say anything, just looked at Wang Ran quietly, and Wang Ran coughed, "I guess you are the spirit of the five elements." This is the White Tiger, this is the Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, and Xiao Huang is the Qilin, right?"

"Even if you're not stupid, it's so obvious that you guessed it, and it's not that smart. Huang Yan was locked up in the Qiankun pot by Wang Ran for a long time, and was scolded, questioned, and even ignored, this little guy was very dissatisfied at this time, and sneered at Wang Ran.

Of course, Wang Ran didn't mind, his curiosity occupied an extremely important position at this time, and as for the rest, he didn't have time to think: "Why are you here?"

Before anyone else could say anything, Huang Yan muttered: "Actually, we don't know, we don't know where we come from or what we want to do." We guess that the memories of our inheritance have not yet been opened. ”

Wang Ran said: "Oh, that's possible. You don't know what this place is, do you?"

Huang Yan nodded, and the others actually nodded in agreement.

Wang Ran analyzed: "The power of the five elements in this place is so strong, I also practiced the art of the five elements before I came here." Speaking ......of this, he suddenly thought about whether there was something wrong with this title, and looked at the little turtle Xuanwu, and found that the little turtle actually glared at him very humanely.

Wang Ran smiled, looked at the little turtle, and continued: "This little turtle Mr. brought me here, there must be a certain reason, right?"

The little turtle nodded humanely, and said angrily, "You still call me Xuanwu." I didn't think why I brought you here, I just thought there was something about you that had something to do with us. The voice was low but solemn, the tone was quite old-fashioned, and the content of the words seemed childish. Maybe these little true spirits are not very good at expressing themselves, right?

"Xuanwu? Well, that's a very atmospheric name. But you're not a Xuanwu now, are you?" Wang Ran was very curious and interested, and naturally felt that these children were very close to him.

"Hmph, who said it's not? Aren't children considered human?" Unexpectedly, this little turtle Xuanwu actually made a lot of sense.

"Good, good. You are Xuanwu, you are Suzaku, you are the White Tiger, you are the Qilin. Wang Ran faced these little animals, more like an adult, and tried to speak very casually.

After all, the child's state of mind, Wang Ran is actually quite interested in these things at this time, after all, since ancient times, there are five elements of the spirit. These are just legends, and I know something from this kind of book and film and television drama, and that understanding is also attached to many personal interpretations. Credibility, it won't be high if it's high.

The green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger, the Xuanwu, and the unicorn correspond to the power of the five elements and the position of the five directions. The green dragon is the essence of the wood system, corresponding to the east, the vermilion bird is the essence of the fire system, corresponding to the south, the white tiger is the essence of the gold system, corresponding to the west, the Xuanwu is the essence of the water system, corresponding to the north, and the unicorn is the essence of the earth system, corresponding to the center.

Qinglong is the seven houses of the East: horns, Kang, Di, Fang, heart, tail, Kei, and the shape of these seven Nakshaku is very similar to the shape of a dragon, which can be seen from their literal meaning, the horn is the horn of the dragon, Kang is the neck, Di is the root, but the root of the neck, the fang is the shoulder, is the wedge, the heart is the heart, the tail is the tail, and the Kei is the end of the tail. The one with horns on the head of the dragon is the male dragon: the one with two horns is called the dragon, and the one with one horn is called the Jiao

The hornless one is the cockroach, and in ancient times, the jade pendant often had large and small double dragons, called the mother and child cockroach. Because in China, the dragon is a sacred object, the supreme one, and a symbol of the emperor.

The white tiger is often compared to the dragon. Tiger, the chief of all beasts, its majesty and the ability to subdue ghosts in legends make it also become a divine beast of the yang, often following the dragon to go out, "cloud from the dragon, wind from the tiger" has become the best pair of ghosts to subdue. Among the 28 constellations, there are seven Western Nakshatras: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Shen. Therefore, it is the representative of the West, and its whiteness is because it is the West, and the West is gold in the five elements, and the color is white. That's why it's called the White Tiger not because it's white, but because it's said from the Five Elements. In the minds of the ancients, tigers were terrible things and respectable things. The scary thing is that it eats people and animals. And what is respectable is that because of its incomparable power, it can ward off evil. The White Tiger is the god of war, so there are many fierce generals who are said to have become the White Tiger Star in the world, such as: Tang Dynasty general Luo Cheng, Xue Rengui father and son, etc. In addition, the white tiger was sucked and released by Taoism, was deified, and became the door god of various temples.

Even in later generations, when Feng Shui masters explored the cemetery, the terrain that protruded on the left and right sides of the terrain in front of the terrain and could be used as a tomb had a unique title, called the left green dragon and the right white tiger, taking the meaning of its protection, and there was the same decoration in the public hall, and the green dragon and hundred tigers were painted on the left and right hall pillars to suppress evil spirits.

Suzaku can only be regarded as a type of phoenix. The phoenix is divided into many types, and there are five phoenixes, and their colors are red and phoenix, green and yellow, white and white, and purple and cormorant. The phoenix is the vermilion bird, the long of the feather insect, and the dragon of the scale insect gradually became a pair in the legend, one is changeable, one is virtuous, and it has become a pair that complements each other in Chinese folklore.

Five hundred miles east of Nanshan, it is said that the mountain of Danxue is full of gold and jade. Danshui flows out of Yan, and the south flows into the Bohai Sea. There are birds, its shape is like a chicken, five colors and text, the name is called Phoenix, the first text is said to be de, the wing text is said to be righteous, the back text is said to be lily, the text is said to be benevolent, and the belly text is said to be letter. It's a bird, eating naturally, singing and dancing, and the world is peaceful when you see it.

It comes from the Nakshatras, which are the general name of the seven Nakshatras in the south: Well, Ghost, Liu, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen. It's like Suzaku. Zhu is red, like fire, and the south belongs to fire. The southern Vermilion Bird, and the foundation of happiness, is divided into five parts, with three as the top, with two as the bottom, three days and two places of righteousness.

Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual creature composed of a turtle and a snake. The original meaning of Xuanwu is Xuanming, Xuanming was originally a description of the turtle: the back of the turtle is black, and the turtle is to invite the turtle to the underworld to ask the first, bring the answer back, and show it to the world in the form of a divination.

Xuanwu was upgraded by the Taoist priests of later generations to become the emperor of the north "Zhenwu Emperor", the Jade Emperor will be one of his three souls, incarnated in the queen of the country of Joy, disgusted with the world, gave up his position to practice on Wudang Mountain, successfully ascended, guarded the north, and said: Xuanwu.

Wang Ran thought of this, firstly, he was shocked that he actually had such an adventure, and secondly, he was surprised to find that these true spirits were actually in such a form. It seems that this strength is amazing, but you don't have to think about it to know that this is unimaginably worse than the strength of the true spirit.

It is said that it is a primary form, in addition to being almost negligible in size, the momentum that is so powerful that it is at the level of a true spirit is still very insufficient. It cannot be said that it is insufficient, but that it is inadequate.

Wang Ran felt a sense of powerless absurdity in his heart, what kind of era and scene is this.

Now Wang Ran, I don't know what era this is, I don't know what place this is, I don't know what this is for?

Also, where is the green dragon?
