said that Zhang Xuanqing walked into the courtyard facing west, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that although the layout of this courtyard is roughly the same as that of other courtyards, it is only a general idea.

Take the big tree in the courtyard as an example, it is more than twice as big as the other courtyards, and there are enough five people to hug it widely, I don't know how many years it has been.

Besides, the two vegetable gardens on both sides are smaller...... No, it can't be called a vegetable garden, it can only be called a tree pond. Three or five feet horizontally, there was a poplar tree on the ground.

There is an old Chinese saying, called "Don't plant mulberry in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts and clap hands in the courtyard". "Ghost clapping" is another name for poplars, and I don't know what to think of planting two of these things in the yard.

But these are not important, the biggest difference between this courtyard and other courtyards in front of you is that the floor of the courtyard is paved with bluestone. And in the center of the gate, there is a bronze tripod!

The tripod is five feet high, three-legged, double-eared, round-bottomed, beast's hoofed feet, flat edge folded outward, the tripod body is carved and carved, at a glance, it gives people a sense of antiquity and vicissitudes, but it does not show any shabby.

After Zhang Xuanqing was stunned, he immediately turned his head and asked Fan Renjian: "Did you see this ding in your inspection yesterday?" If you see it, it stands to reason that you shouldn't tell yourself.

Fan Renjian shook his head vigorously: "Brother Dao, you forgot, Nana and I are inspecting the north, and this side is inspected by Ding Ding and the big man, and if you want to see it, they have to see it." ”

The big man is Hong Dali, Fan Renjian gave him a nickname when he saw that he was five big and three thick and strong, but he never dared to call him in person.

If you want to say that this fat man is so annoying, he loves to give people nicknames when he has nothing to do. Take Gong Qi as an example, such a girl, he insists on calling others "husband", I really don't know what to say about him.

Since it was Ding Jie and Hong Dali's side of the inspection, and now that these two people were not there, there was naturally no way to ask. Zhang Xuanqing had to suppress this doubt first, walked quickly to the bronze tripod, and looked carefully. Behind him, Fan Renjian and the three of them also followed closely.

In front of the three-legged tripod, the four of them looked at it for a long time and found that in addition to the moire ornaments, there were also four monsters with extremely peculiar appearances carved on the four sides. At first it looked like a tiger, but it still had two wings, on the left and right one was shaped like a dog, with long hair, four-legged, like a dog, one with a human face like a sheep, with horns on its head and eyes under its armpits, and at the back it was also a long-haired tiger, but without wings, but with a very long tail and a human face.

Fan Renjian looked around and couldn't help but be amazed: "Don't say it, this ancient's brain hole is really big, you look at this animal carving, I have never seen the fat man grow so big! Brother Dao, you are well-informed, do you know?"

Zhang Xuanqing nodded while watching: "These are the four fierce gods of ancient times, namely gluttony, chaos, 梼杌, and poor Qi. The one in front of you that looks like a tiger and has wings and can fly is Qiqi; the one on the left is like a dog; the one on the right is a sheep with a human face, the eyes under the armpits, and a big head and a big mouth are gluttonous; and the one behind you seems to have dog hair, a human face, and pig teeth, and a tail that is eight feet long. ”

"Hey, don't say it, our Dao brother is amazing, looking at this picture, you can even see that the tail is one foot eight, where is this proportion?" Fan Renjian still had the heart to cough at this time.

Zhang Xuanqing kicked him angrily: "I have time to read a few more books, have you heard of the Divine Scriptures? Have you heard of the Shan Hai Scriptures? You can also see one foot eight after reading it twice!"

Fan Renjian smiled hesitantly: "What else do you see about Brother Dao?"

"Uh......" The corners of Zhang Xuanqing's mouth twitched, not to mention, except for the four beast patterns on it, he really couldn't see anything else.

Although he knew a lot about ancient knowledge, he had never studied any antiques. If it was a Tang Dynasty instrument, maybe he could still break it with his experience of living for a few years. But at present, this bronze tripod is clearly in an earlier era, at least when it comes to the bronze tripod, the first impression in everyone's mind is that before the Western Zhou Dynasty and even the Shang Dynasty, he can't even distinguish the specific dynasty, and he can see that there are ghosts!

At this moment, suddenly Fu Yuan's voice sounded from under the ding: "Xiaodao, look, this ding's legs are connected to the ground." When I looked down, the little girl squatted down at some point.

Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but be surprised, even if he didn't know anything about Ding, he knew that Ding was a container and a ritual vessel at the earliest, and he definitely needed to move it around. He had never heard of this tripod that grew on the ground. Squatted down and took a look, sure enough, what Fu Yuan said was right, the tripod feet of this tripod were connected to the stone slab below, and they were tightly fitted, and it looked as if it had grown on top of it.

Looking at the surrounding stone slabs, there are also carved four patterns of strange beasts, this time without Zhang Xuanqing to say, Fan Renjian recognized it, and said in surprise: "This is the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu!"

Gong Qi said curiously: "I have also heard of these four, and they are said to be some kind of divine beasts." Just now, Xiaodao said that the four on Ding's body are fierce beasts, and it stands to reason that the divine beast should not be on top and the fierce beast below, which means that evil is invincible?"

"That's not necessarily!" Fan Renjian opened his eyes and stumbled there: "You only know one thing but you don't know the other, what kind of divine beasts and fierce beasts are the totems of various tribes in ancient times." At that time, you also knew in society that for a bite to eat, it could cause two tribes to fight, and then the tribe that won could absorb the tribe that lost, or run away or something like that. But those who are unwilling to lose, so they slander the totem of the tribe that won the battle as a fierce beast, a bad omen, in short, the source of all evil. Then he went to fool other tribes and united to fight that tribe. In the end, the Zen concession system came out......"

"Just blow it!" In Gong Qi's heart, this fat man is a master who runs trains with a mouth, although what Fan Renjian said does make some sense, she still can't believe it. lowered his head and wanted to ask Zhang Xuanqing, but found that at this time, Zhang Xuanqing and Fu Yuan were next to each other, stretching their necks and not looking at anything under the ground. Suddenly, the original question only swirled in his throat, and was directly replaced: "What are you looking at?" As he spoke, he also squatted down, on the other side of Zhang Xuanqing.

However, Zhang Xuanqing didn't answer him, staring at Ding's body with a contemplative face. Fu Yuan pointed to some patterns under the tripod and said, "That's it." ”

It turned out that within the four divine beasts of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, there was also a circle, which happened to enclose the three-legged tripod inside. And under the three-legged belly in the circle, there are a lot of dense patterns.

"I'll look at it too, I'll look at it too. Fan Renjian couldn't help but squat down to join in the fun, he wanted to squat next to Fu Yuan, but there was not enough space, so he could only make a detour to Gong Qi's side. The fleshy body is clumped into a ball, squatting down and snorting, but when you can see the pattern below, you can blow it: "I know this, this is not the zodiac! Look at this, this is the rat, this is the ugly cow, this is the ......."

"I also know it's the zodiac, but what are those horizontal bars in it?" Gong Qi very unceremoniously interrupted Fan Renjian's chatter. I saw that in the 12 zodiac signs, there are also a circle of eight patterns, all of which are three horizontal bars that are connected or broken. There are six more patterns inside, four more inside, and two more inside.

Fan Renjian was choked and rolled his eyes, how did he know what it was, he had to know that he hadn't said it earlier!

Fu Yuan next to him explained: "That's the gossip, Qiansanlian, Kun Liuduan, Zhenyangyu, Gen Covered Bowl, Lizhongxu, Kanzhongman, Dushangshang, Xunxia, there are no three horizontal bars, it is a hexagram." ”

"How do you know?" Fan Renjian's eyes widened.

Fu Yuan said: "Xiao Dao just told me, but he also said that the location of this gossip doesn't seem to be right. I don't understand what is neither congenital nor acquired. ”

"You say this, it seems that the order of the twelve zodiac signs is not right! Look at you, there should be an ugly cow behind the rat, but here you jump directly to the Chenlong ......"

"Yes, yes! That's right!" Suddenly, Zhang Xuanqing shouted, stood up with surprise on his face, and looked at the layout of the yard again.

However, his voice was too sudden, Fan Renjian was still talking, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

The reason why I say almost, it's not that he didn't jump, but that he did, didn't jump. As soon as he stood up, there was a bang, and his head hit his abdomen directly, and he covered his head and screamed in pain.
