I curled my lips and replied, "This girl is really annoying. I admit she is beautiful. It would be nice if she was mute."
This is a bit too bamboo shoot. She probably made all the bamboo shoots in the back of her house.
During the time when I came out, I did grow my hair long because I was too lazy to go out and do unnecessary social interactions, so I became a complete homebody.
If it hadn't been for Xu Jinxiu's phone call, saying that there was a new pot waiting to be boiled, I wouldn't have left home.
Anyway, my savings are enough for me to live and die, so why bother to make so much trouble for myself.
Hearing my dissatisfied complaints, Xu Jinxiu actually smiled even more happily.
She moaned and smiled, her body trembling.
"Haven't you heard of the saying that the four spirits of heaven can rectify the four directions?"
"Something sounds familiar."
I was slightly stunned in place, desperately searching for the memories in my mind, as well as some ancient secretaries that I had done research on before.
Although I know it is the Four Sacred Beasts, I really don’t know enough about this legendary story.
At least I definitely don’t know as much as Xu Jinxiu. I have a learning attitude of asking for advice humbly.
"Beautiful Xu, please explain it to me. I'm quite curious too, so just treat it like I'm asking you for advice."
Perhaps because of my good attitude, Xu Jinxiu was happy to be the on-site commentator.
"Have you not read "Sanfu Tu"?"
"It is said to be: Green Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Black Tortoise, the four spirits of the sky, to rectify the four directions, the king's palace, and the palace to obtain the law."
"That is to say, in ancient times, the ancients divided the heaven and earth into four palaces, southeast, northwest and northwest, with four divine beasts as directions to guard the spirits of heaven and earth."
I nodded silently, "Four Symbols, Four Directions and Four Sacred Beasts." I know a little bit about these, and I have also made certain notes on these basics.
The East Palace has horns, Kang, Shi, Fang, Heart, and Tail, and is also shaped like a dragon. The East Palace can be called Qinglong or Canglong.
The seven stars in the west are Kui, Lei, Wei, Ang, Bi and Jiao. The three shapes are like tigers, so the West Palace is called tiger.
The south is a well, with ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings, and pearls connected like birds, and the shape is like a sparrow, becoming the Southern Suzaku.
The seven stars in the north are Dou, Ox, Female, Void, Danger, Room, and Wall. Their clusters are shaped like turtles and become Xuanwu.
Apart from these basic four-image formations, I often use them when exploring Feng Shui.
But it is more commonly used in tomb exploration. There is a unique saying, "left green dragon, right white tiger", which means guarding.
Most of them focus on suppressing evil spirits. How could they be used as tomb beasts?
I couldn't help but laugh as the thoughts flashed through my mind.
"Beauty Xu, tell me who the owner of this tomb is, is he crazy?"
"Huh? What does twitching mean?"
Xu Jinxiu glared, a little confused, looking at her blank expression and turned-up nose, she looked particularly cute.
I coughed to cover up my distraction.
"Um... you said that the green dragon and white tiger are things that suppress evil spirits. Why did the owner of the tomb let this thing in? Does he think he is some kind of evil thing?"
"Fangzheng, I don't believe that someone would build his eternal resting place in Xiaxie."
The so-called evil place actually refers to a place where evil spirits breed, not a place where evil things actually exist.
But the climate, temperature and humidity in that kind of place are not suitable for ordinary people to live and live, so it is called an evil place.
The ancients believed in Feng Shui, so I also believe that this is not unreasonable. However, the Four Sacred Beasts can appear here and are used as tomb-suppressing beasts, so I conclude that the owner of the tomb must be a little crazy.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
After hearing my explanation, Xu Jinxiu burst out laughing and gave me a thumbs up.
"Absolute! It's really amazing. It seems that I'm not the only one with bamboo shoots. Chen Changyan is also good at it."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.
"Go, go, go! Don't interrupt me. I'm talking about Chen Changyan. People are familiar with each other and call me names. It's better for you. Why don't you push me out? How can you be happy?"
Seeing her trembling smile, I don't know why, but I always feel a little turbulent in my heart.
Just when I was in a short trance, sparse sounds kept coming.
At first I thought it was the sound of water and didn't pay much attention, because all my attention was attracted by Xu Jinxiu.
But the more I listened, the more wrong I felt. The sparse falling sounds were not the sound of water at all, nor did they sound like the wind blowing through the cracks. It was more like the sound of something falling off and falling to the ground!
I looked at Xu Jinxiu stiffly, her smile disappeared, and my smile also became stiff. The two of us turned around mechanically, and then suddenly realized!
The bronze pieces on those huge statues are falling off quickly!
The scene in front of me was like rust that was falling off due to weathering. It was falling bit by bit, and there was a rattling sound inside the bronze statue.
Almost instantly, our hearts jumped to our throats.
"Be careful Jinxiu, there might be poison in here!"
I quickly spoke to remind him.
A lot of poisonous spores appeared on the portraits of women before. Maybe there are a lot of them hidden in this bronze statue!
The owner of this tomb is very insidious. He seems to like to use poisonous and insidious methods. I can't be careless, and I don't dare to be careless.
"Chen...Chen Ping! Did they, did they move just now?"
Xu Jinxiu suddenly spoke, her tone was extremely nervous, and one of her hands slowly touched her lower back.
When I heard these three words, my eyelids suddenly jumped wildly!
I was talking just now about encountering living creatures infiltrating people in tombs that were hundreds or even thousands of years old, but now I have really encountered them?
If my mouth is really so useful, why would I want to fight? I might as well just go home and buy lottery tickets.
"Don't talk nonsense. The dead ones are almost turning into ashes. How can they still move?"
I tried to comfort myself, but with my right eyelid twitching wildly, I saw a bronze dragon statue out of the corner of my eye.
"Crack!!!"
An extremely crisp sound came from my ears, a large piece of bronze fragment fell to the ground, and the bronze skin of the statue of the four-dimensional beast completely fell off.
The human body that peeled off was completely torn apart! My face looked extremely ugly, even more painful than that old man’s face when he ate an Ori!
"It's really a big deal for me, isn't it?"
I cursed loudly and took Xu Jinxiu's hand and backed away quickly.
It was when the two of us retreated that the human body completely peeled off, revealing strange spliced corpses inside!
In each hand they held strange weapons, all made of bronze.
I couldn't help but gasp, and reached for the small glass bottle in my pocket.
"boom!!!"
The fire suddenly appeared and Xu Jinxiu fired.
