"Yes, I suspect that the moon is made of human bones. When night comes, it will automatically scatter the moonlight and imitate the luster closest to the moon. Even if animals find it, they will not be able to distinguish it under the influence of human bones. To find out which one is true and which one is false, I will worship it unconsciously when I smell the aura of human bones."
What Yue Qingshan said was a folk tale, but the content was very relevant to the current situation. Song Siyuan became curious about the human bone lantern and asked: "Uncle Yue, how are the human bone lanterns made?"
These words stumped Old Man Yue. He recalled his experiences in his youth and reluctantly told the details of the human bone lamp: "I don't know this, but when I went to the noble tomb before, I saw the moon hanging on the top of the tomb. , when I first saw it, I thought it was a leak from the top of the tomb.”
He paused, his tone returned to mystery, and he introduced the details of the Moon Lamp:
"Brother Chao and I also climbed up to see the moon. The shell on the surface is a human skull. The human skull needs to be cut into six-sided bone fragments, then polished into light-transmitting sheets, and then made into a spherical gold frame with gold. When the skull slices fit together and fill the spherical shell, a human bone moon lantern will be formed!”
At this stage, the human bone moon wheel lantern is just an empty shelf. The real mystery lies inside the spherical shell. There is also a slightly smaller spherical shell in the moon wheel lantern. The material used is luminous stone that can emit light. These stones are carved and Thin sheets will be formed, and then the spherical shells will be pasted together into a spherical shape. After the two spherical shells, one large and one small, are nested into each other, the gap between the two shells will often be filled with glass beads and then filled with oil to seal it.
At this time, a human bone moon wheel lantern is officially completed.
Once the moon lantern is built, it is not allowed to be turned on unless it is repaired or damaged. It does not require any lighting means at all. It only needs to be placed in the sun for a day to let the luminous stones inside absorb the light, and they will light up by themselves at night. light.
The light of fluorite is greenish. After being illuminated by thousands of glass beads, the green light fades away. When it passes through the human bones, only the cold white light of the moon is left. The human oil inside restrains the light. The moon wheel does not dry out when it lights up, as if it is really the moon. The moon exudes a cool and moist light.
Even for humans, it is not easy to notice when they suddenly see a moon wheel lantern, let alone an animal that has not yet developed intelligence!
After everyone heard this, they were basically sure that the moon on the top of the mountain was roughly the moon wheel lantern. It was also because of this that the water monkey could not distinguish the truth and worshiped it as the real moon.
"But what does this Li Tang person mean? There are yin and yang fish and moon wheel lanterns here!"
Song Siyuan also had a partial understanding of Xu Xiake's question. She kept staring at the always round and flawless moon, and her eyes lit up: "Could it be that this is what Taiyin impermanence means?"
Song Siyuan pointed to the moon and said: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Most of the time, a piece of the moon is missing. This is normal. As long as you go to the top of the mountain, the moon you see will always be round." , the waxing and waning of yin and yin is normal, and eternal perfection is impermanent. This should be the meaning of Taiyin's impermanence!"
She paused and her tone became excited: "Think about it, Chang'e Zhuri told us to enter the tiankeng. This tiankeng can be the sun during the day, and the moon will shine in at night. The meaning of the taiyin is very likely to be impermanent. We still need to pay attention to the tiankeng, and the clue to the Soul Palace is probably still in the underground lake. The daily and impermanent aspects are contrary to logic, which shows that we need to work in the opposite direction."
Song Siyuan's words were arousing. Yue Qingshan pondered over the explanation in her words. The thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, and he said quickly: "My dearest daughter, there is another sentence!"
"The soul energy is horrifying and dense. When we first came up, the fog covered the ground, making it difficult for us to see the direction and reality. It scared us so much that we couldn't walk fast. The soul energy here actually refers to the fog on the ground. Wait. After the soul energy dissipates, you can see the Yin-Yang Pisces Bagua Formation, which is the universe."
Xu Xiake also agreed with Uncle Yue's meaning and said with approval: "Yes, Tai Chi generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, four images generate Bagua, Bagua determines good and bad, good and bad brings great cause, no matter how time and things change, they can never be separated from it. The two characters Yin and Yang can be used to calculate good and bad luck through the sixty-four hexagrams. Tao generates one, one generates two, two generates three, and three generates all things. If all the phenomena are completely simplified into one, it will be the Yin and Yang Pisces we see!"
Although Xu Xiake is not a serious Taoist priest, he has a solid knowledge of Taoist theory. Song Siyuan also agrees with his point of view and continues to add her own thoughts: "Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasties said in the book "Maoshan Changsha Pavilion Stele" that a husband is surrounded by everything and is inseparable from the two. Raised by rituals, we are all confused by the superficial phenomena, thinking that there are thousands and tens of thousands of different gorgeous pictures. Youdao is the most simple, the great sound is the sound, and the elephant is invisible. It is the ultimate All things in the world are just returning to the yin and yang of Pisces."
"Then, the following sentence about the time coming and the soul palace reappearing actually means that when the time comes, the soul palace will appear on its own!"
She realized this and her face became increasingly happy: "We have to wait until the time comes!"
