The one hundred and third round, the five elements and six combinations
Everyone looks at this five-element bridge, which is actually very beautiful. There are stone railings on both sides of each bridge deck www.biquge.info the railings are carved with exquisite patterns: some carved a long dragon sleeping leisurely on the white clouds, some carved two ichthyosaurs, they are intertwined with each other, their eyes are wide open to look at each other, and they are wagging their tails, playing with each other, and there is a carving of a flying dragon, which opens its big mouth and shows its white teeth, and rushes straight to the west...... There are many delicate and interesting patterns carved on the railing, which should be a beautiful pontoon, but because this is inside the Huangling, and because the previous Seven Star Beidou Array is so dangerous, everyone is not interested at all this time, and they dare not act rashly at all.
Gu Xiaonan came to King Yan's side and asked Qingyan and Master Daoyan, "Master, Qingyan, which of these bridges should we take?"
Dao Yan stroked his beard and said: "This five-element bridge is composed of five arrays of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and it will not pass so easily, the ancient people believed that everything in the world is composed of five types of elements, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there is a relationship between each other. The five elements refer to the movement and changes of the five substances of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. However, in fact, the five elements also represent one, two, three, four, five, west, northeast, south, south, and middle, as well as platinum, black, red, yellow, etc., among which the mysteries are continuous, and it is not easy to penetrate.
Gu Xiaonan looked at everyone, nodded, and came to the front of the Five Elements Bridge, leaned over and picked up five stones, looked at the Five Elements Bridge in front of him, and threw the stones out in an instant, and saw that the five stones flew out in an instant, flying to the five pontoon bridges respectively, and suddenly, he saw that the top of the five pontoon bridges were changing, and he immediately lost the calm just now. The first bridge was covered with sand and rocks, and the second bridge was so hot that it was impossible to pass, the third bridge was flooded and obstructed the way, the fourth bridge was covered with golden light, and all the places where it was illuminated were burned, and the fifth bridge, although not as treacherous as the four bridges, suddenly grew a strange green leafy plant, which crawled directly all over the pontoon.
Everyone was taken aback after seeing the changes of this pontoonless bridge, Gu Xiaonan said to everyone: "This five-element bridge is really not so easy to pass!"
Xue Qiao looked at it, and was also taken aback, and said, "Senior brother, I see that the fifth bridge seems to be very calm, it's just a plant." At this time, everyone also looked around, and saw this big evergreen tree, towering into the clouds, with plate-like roots and thick long hairs. The leaves are alternate, covered with oblong and oblong-elliptic leaflets, the apex short and acute, the base rounded or shallow heart-shaped, slightly unequal on both sides, the whole margin or coarsely toothed, bright green above, sparsely coarse hairs, and it seems to be a strange plant.
Gu Xiaonan smiled and asked, "Master, how do we get through? What kind of plant is the fifth bridge?" Is it feasible?"
Everyone was also puzzled, waiting for Dao Yan's answer. Dao Yan looked at everyone, and said with a sad brow: "Miss Xueqiao! The plant that suddenly grew on the fifth bridge is called arrow poison wood, also known as 'seeing blood and sealing the throat', it is a strange poisonous plant! You see that tooth-shaped leaflet, extremely sharp, as long as we pass, we will be scratched, and then his branches and leaves will flow out of milky white juice containing highly poisonous, immediately into the human body, and within half an hour he will suddenly die and die! Therefore, this plant seems to be weak, but in fact it is extremely lethal, so he is called 'seeing blood and sealing the throat'. ”
When Xue Qiao heard this, she immediately opened her mouth and couldn't say a word.
Dao Yan continued: "The first bridge is flying sand and stones, the second bridge is full of fire, the third bridge is flooded, the fourth bridge is full of golden light, and the poison arrow wood on the fifth bridge represents the order of the five elements of earth, fire, water, gold and wood. ”
After listening to Dao Yan's words, Gu Xiaonan and the others all fell into deep thought, not knowing how to pass. Xue Qiao and the little county lord sat aside and watched, Hong Yutang, Yan Wang, and Miao Zhen also paced back and forth, thinking about the power of the Five Elements Bridge, Xuan Ming also sat to the side motionless, Gu Xiaonan stood beside Master Dao Yan, and thought: "It's really not easy to visit the tomb in this underground palace!" I originally thought that as long as Dao Yan and Qingyan were there, we would be invincible and invincible, but now we are in a stalemate, the key is that we haven't really reached the Heavenly Demon Underground Palace?" Thinking about it, Gu Xiaonan asked, "Master! Isn't there anything else on the map?"
Dao Yan shook his head and did not speak.
Gu Xiaonan saw that Dao Yan had no idea, and he was even more depressed, and at this moment, suddenly Qingyan and Xin Yao's eyes lit up. Shouted: "I understand." ”
When everyone heard Qingyan shouting like this, they all came to their senses, and they all quickly stood up to see what a good way to go.
Qingyan thought for a long time, pondering the master's guidance, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Don't worry, everyone, I know how to pass." Xin Yao also smiled and looked at Qingyan. Qingyan also nodded with Xin Yao, and said to everyone: "Actually, Master Daoyan has already made the mystery of the Five Elements Bridge very clear, since the current order of the Five Elements Bridge is earth, fire, water, gold and wood, that is, the order told us is five, four, three, one and two, the geographical location is central, south, south, west and east, and the color corresponds to yellow, red, black and platinum. ”
The little lord asked, "Oh! it seems like this, but what can it do? What does it have to do with us passing through here?"
Qingyan smiled, pointed to the stone wall next to him and said, "What do you see here?"
Everyone took a closer look at the stone wall next to it, and it turned out that a chessboard was carved on it.
The little county lord suddenly shouted: "It turns out that there is a pair of Go chessboards here!"
Qingyan smiled: "The little county lord is half right. ”
Xue Qiao also suddenly said, "Half?"
Qingyan continued: "This is not Go, but backgammon. ”
Only then did Gu Xiaonan look at the fact that there was really a chessboard carved on the wall, but there were no chess pieces, he felt very strange and said, "Master, how can there be a chessboard here?"
Dao Yan also suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe! Qingyan is really so wise, and Lao Wei didn't expect it." Legend has it that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor inadvertently drew seventeen horizontal lines and seventeen vertical lines, and this unintentional invention created a five-in-a-row chess. ”
Gu Xiaonan suddenly laughed and said, "What? backgammon? Isn't it? Isn't this a bit too joking? People are all about Go in their novels, how can we meet backgammon?"
Dao Yan smiled and said, "Hehe! But this is really backgammon! In fact, the ancients used to burn backgammon boards for a long time. This backgammon chessboard and Go chessboard are universal, the Han and Wei dynasties were seventeen-way chessboards, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties when the nineteen-way chessboard was popular, and what we encountered was the seventeen-way chessboard. ”
