That's not all that makes us stupid. The reason why Songzi was shocked was because the sixteen characters we found on Luo Hantong’s body were connected together: "Xuanwu is on the side, and there are two immortals. Beiming Shensu, standing across the river." Regardless of the order of this combination. Whether it is correct or not, it is not difficult to see that these sixteen words refer to Xuanwu, one of the four images.
Songzi said, we have been struggling before about what is worth studying in this Xuanwu, but look at this sentence. After speaking, Songzi pointed to "revere the vastness of the four images, admire the supernatural power of Zhenwu, recognize the good appearance of the twin mountains, and sigh at the darkness of heaven and earth" and "divide Xuanwu, fight the universe, and fight seven and seven", which are mentioned twice here. The four images or Xuanwu illustrate the importance of Xuanwu here. Then I suddenly thought of something. If I was just doubting it earlier, I am afraid I can say it accurately now. The Zhenwu here should refer to Emperor Zhenwu, and on both sides of Emperor Zhenwu happened to be the Snake and Turtle Generals. Coincidentally, across the river from Wuhan are Snake Mountain and Turtle Mountain.
Songzi went on to say that the "Beiming Shensu" on the base of the bronze statue "stands on the Suojiang River". Beiming is the Xuanwu, and Suojiang naturally restricts each other on the left and right, which also happens to cater to the current geography of Snake Mountain and Turtle Mountain. Location, but what made me confirm my idea the most, do you know what it is?
Qin Bukong and I didn't speak, or even nodded or shook our heads, because we were both shocked by this seemingly bold truth, but with hidden clues everywhere. Seeing that we didn't answer, Songzi said, this Xuanwu statue is a turtle and a snake. With so many overlapping coincidences, isn't it enough to explain the problem?
Qin Bukong murmured to himself, no wonder we have passed through four levels in a row before. No matter how weird and bizarre, we can't escape from the two mountains of turtles and snakes. I thought to myself that it was indeed the case. The Shadowless Pagoda, Iron Gate Pass, and Changchun Temple we visited earlier, including the current Guiyuan Temple, were all within the scope of the Snake and Turtle Mountains.
In this way, the person who set up the formation at the beginning was probably Lu Zu himself, and we also wanted to understand that whether it was the demons, demons, demons, or the following demons and demons, what we encountered were the original forms of ghosts. , these ghosts that most people have never seen, or think they are ordinary ghosts after seeing them, are actually recorded in ancient books. Although they are obscure, they can be regarded as giving us guidance. After all, when Lu Zu was setting up the formation, the attributes of ghosts and monsters he referred to also came from earlier experiences.
As for the things found in the four boxes previously, except for the wax-skin balls, a few crystal hand bones, a hijab embroidered with erotic pictures, a piece of gloomy golden nanmu order, and the crocodile found today. Eyeballs, it is not difficult for us to imagine that these things actually come from the Witch King who fought with Lu Zu back then. According to Qin Bukong, since Lu Zu surrendered the "Chilong", which was the crocodile, and the crocodile's eyes became part of the formation, it means that the crocodile at that time was most likely released by the Witch King Yes, Qin Bukong said, this is indeed very possible, so it naturally became part of the seal.
According to this logic, the things found in the boxes of the three Mandrill Kui levels we are going to enter next must also come from the Witch King and his supplies and Gu items, and the locations of the remaining three levels are all It must be within the scope of the Snake and Turtle Mountains.
This inference makes us all very excited. At least it has greatly narrowed the scope. We don’t have to run around like headless flies. After these days of inquiring, we have explored most of the ancient ruins on the two mountains. Adding in the ones we directly judge to be impossible and the four places we have already visited, there are not many left. In addition, since we are now sure that these places are related to Lu Zu, then as long as the following places have existed for more than a thousand years and can be related to these, we can conclude whether they are or not after a little exclusion.
Songzi saw that everyone was very excited, and he also became happy. This kid has been serious about it for a long time. Now that he sees that we all recognize and agree with his inference, he feels very accomplished. He pointed to the last paragraph of the letter left by Lu Zu and said, the mention of Buli Bagua and Five Elements here is a pointer left by Lu Zu to us, which shows that no matter how fierce Mandrill Kui is, as long as he masters the Five Elements and Bagua, he will be the same. Can be suppressed and destroyed. Now four of the seven levels have been passed, all in accordance with the order of the eight trigrams we previously speculated. The remaining "魭" is located in Jingmen and belongs to Li hexagram, "郃" is located in Shengmen and belongs to Gen hexagram, and "Kui" is located in Jingmen. It belongs to the hexagram Dui.
Qin Bukong murmured, Li Gua belongs to fire, water overcomes fire, and fire generates earth; Gen Gua belongs to earth, wood defeats earth, and earth generates metal; Dui Gua belongs to gold, fire defeats gold, and metal generates water...it seems like Mandrill Kuisan. The former is the result of the latter. If calculated in this way, the previous four levels should also be the same. There are things that are related to them. No wonder that each of the four levels we encounter is more difficult than the last. I believe that when we fight all the way to Kuei, it will be an unprecedented battle.
In an instant, a feeling of heroism welled up in my chest. Fortunately, I listened to my master Lin Qishan's words and persisted in breaking through the barrier with Qin Bukong. Although it was dangerous, it also allowed me to experience There are many strange things that the old master has never seen in his life. I was also surprised to find that since I started to break through Qisha Pass, Qin Bukong asked me to complete the final fatal task every time, intentionally or unintentionally. With one blow, it would be no exaggeration to say that the demons and demons were indeed destroyed by me. And I am not yet thirty years old. I would like to ask all the masters in this world, can any one of them be able to kill demons and monsters before they turn thirty?
Absolutely not!
Thinking of this, I am extremely proud, and finally understand the meaning of what my master once said to me some time before his death, that when I finish this thing, I will become a master from a little master.
At this time, Songzi took Qin Bukong's words and said, not only the previous level is related to the next level, but also the things that are in conflict with the previous level are also the things that are in conflict with the next level. You see, water overcomes the Li hexagram and water is born. Wood, wood controls Gen Gua and wood generates fire. If we had discovered the pattern earlier, we might not have had to work so hard to break the formation. I nodded, but it’s not too late now, because the next three levels will only become more and more difficult and dangerous. Knowing how to survive and defeat, it will be much easier for us to actually fight, even easier than the first four levels. Quite a few. So I asked, after knowing the way to restrain life, what weapons should we use to restrain it? Basically, it can be said that the previous four levels were all passed without any skills and purely by brute force. Qin Bukong thought for a while and said, do you still remember those Vajra Prongs we found when we broke through the Eight Gate Formation?
I suddenly realized that each of those Vajra Prongs corresponds to a strange door. We only need to use the Vajra Prong under the door with the attribute that is incompatible with it, and it will be the most destructive weapon. I suddenly jumped for joy. Although I couldn't calm down for a long time after I was shocked to hear that Lu Zu was the one who set up the formation. However, when everything became clear, I discovered that there is not no solution. We just need to prepare enough. One point, let strength speak for the rest.
That night, I was injured but full of fighting spirit. In the past, I was relatively negative, and I could only delay one more day. But that night, I was extremely looking forward to the next three tests.
Early the next morning, we said goodbye to Master Changming, and asked him to convey our gratitude to Abbot Mibao, and also expressed our gratitude to Guiyuan Temple for being so convenient for us this time. The person who played tricks and pretended to be domineering also became polite at this time. If I hadn't known that he had indeed changed a lot recently, I would have thought that he was possessed by a ghost for his abnormal behavior.
It was already noon when I got home that day. Wuhan is a big city, so I wasted a lot of time on the road. But I couldn't sit still because I couldn't wait to put the wax-skinned beads of the "Sprite" into the stone bricks. In order to save time, I even started to peel off the wax-skinned beads in the car. It can be seen that I How excited it was. After we got home, we put down our heavy objects and immediately got into the hole. Qin Bukong put the wax-skinned ball I peeled off into the stone bricks and pushed it into the pillar. As expected, the "mandrill" stone Bricks popped up.
The words "It's hard to find a true friend" are written on the stone bricks of "Mandrill". Now that we have a clearer idea of inference, we quickly eliminated several impossible locations, and finally settled on this place at "Bo Ya Terrace" .
Boya Terrace is also called Guqin Terrace. Like other places we have encountered before, the age when this place was officially built is actually different from the age of Lu Zu. Because the buildings here were built in the Northern Song Dynasty, but this does not mean that we have found the wrong place. I think what tempted Lu Zu to hide his secrets here was just like the four words on the bricks "It is difficult to find a close friend", which happened to be This is a portrayal of Lu Zu's mood when he was setting up the formation. He was eager to be appreciated for his unique skills, but he was also afraid of being discovered. He lamented that there was no one in the world who truly understood his mastery.
The words "difficult to find a bosom friend" actually refer to the fact that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Yu Boya, a senior official of Chu State, was playing the harp on Guishan Mountain. There was a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi on the mountain who knew the melody, so he played with him and it was passed down to China. One of the top ten famous songs - "High Mountains and Flowing Waters". So Yu Boya regarded Zhong Ziqi as a close friend, and arranged to meet again here a few years later and play a song together. But when Yu Boya returned to Guishan a few years later, he learned that Zhong Ziqi had passed away. So Yu Boya lost his close friend, burned his qin and broke its strings, and never played the qin again for the rest of his life.
There are various signs that this "drill" is on Boya Platform. The three of us were unanimous.
