After the assignment was over, everyone split up and acted separately. Ebner and Qiao went in the same direction, while Chu Qianli and the others went in the other direction.
Light snow covered, mottled black rocks. Several stone pillars stand on the open flat ground, which look like primitive totems and dead tree trunks.
Earth and rocks were flying, shovels were waving, and the staff was busy at the key point of Sanqingling.
Country H is sparsely populated, and the ruins are remote, so the Sanqingling key point is located on an unremarkable mountain flat. If the snow on the surface had not been cleared by humans, people passing by here would not find that there is something else underneath.
Chu Qianli observed one of the stone pillars, and removed the solid ice in the hole at the top of the stone pillar. There was actually a rusty bell hidden in it, but the old bell could not be shaken, nor could it make a sound.
Chu Qianli touched the bell hanging inside the stone pillar, she found that she couldn't push it, and hesitated: "These things have been there for many years, and they won't be rusted to death, so they can't be started?"
Mei Ru Z checked it and replied, "It's fixed in the first place."
Tan Muxing: "This bell looks very similar to Sanqing Bell."
"Indeed..." Chu Qianli looked at Meiru Z, "I should try ringing the three clear bells."
At this time, Liu Jun looked around the scene. He came over with Xu Zaiyuan and told Chu Qianli and others: "The key points of the compass and peach wood sword have also been found, but it will take time to clear them out. I'm afraid it will be too late today."
"Let's go back and meet up with Professor Pan first, and come back tomorrow to investigate the situation."
It took more than half of the time for Ebner to bring everyone to the Gate of Truth, and now the sky is getting dark, so it is not suitable to carry out activities. Some personnel stayed to complete the ice clearing work, while Chu Qianli and others returned to the embassy abroad.
In front of the seven-seat off-road vehicle, Liu Jun opened the door and acted as the driver. Seeing that Zai Yuan had to take the co-pilot, he suggested, "Zai Yuan, sit in the back."
Everyone was startled.
Faced with their confused looks, Liu Jun said helplessly, "The co-pilot has a gun."
The group suddenly realized that Tan Muxing and Xu Zaiyuan considered that the girls could move easily, so they silently sat in the back row of the off-road vehicle and gave up the middle seat to Chu Qianli and Meiru Z.
The door was slowly closed to block the cold outside. Chu Qianli rubbed her hands, she glanced at the co-pilot, and said dryly: "I almost forgot to change my identity."
Liu Jun used to be a Taoist priest, but now he had to protect the safety of everyone, and he was not used to it for a while.
"I hope I don't need it, but at least I'm prepared."
Chu Qianli was sitting by the car door chattering, she asked Mei Ru Z to take out Sanqingling to have a look, and then turned her head to let Tan Muxing behind to look at the snow scene outside the window, which stirred up the atmosphere in the car quite lively, followed by Xu Zaiyuan, who was silent in the back row, was in stark contrast.
While driving, Liu Jun smiled and said, "It really looks a bit like Professor Pan."
Pan Yi became a very friendly person, he could chat with anyone without putting on airs.
Xu Zaiyuan was usually surrounded by Taoist priests, or silently followed Liu Jun's side, and this was the first time he sat next to someone he didn't know very well. He quietly observed the situation in the car and listened to the chatter among the people. Whenever Chu Qianli spoke to Mei Ru Z or Liu Jun, he would follow that person, but he never opened his mouth to speak.
Tan Muxing was being yelled at by the brat to look out the window. He had just finished taking a photo of the glacier when he turned his head and met Xu Zaiyuan's gaze, and he couldn't help but look back at him suspiciously.
Xu Zaiyuan immediately retracted his gaze.
Tan Muxing tentatively handed out the phone, and said politely, "Do you want to watch this?"
Xu Zaiyuan pondered for a few seconds, he took a look at the situation, and responded: "Thank you."
Tan Muxing found that he was not very interested in photos, and also noticed that he was always paying attention to the situation in the car, and now he slowly figured out something. Xu Zaiyuan seemed to want to blend in, but he couldn't get in the conversation at all, he could only follow everyone with his eyes.
Chu Qianli speaks very tightly. He used to be able to chat with Qiu Qingkong all day and talk about Mu Xing for a long time, but he unexpectedly has the completely opposite personality of the talented Xu Zaiyuan.
In fact, Tan Muxing hadn't communicated with Xu Zaiyuan much, but he was afraid that the other party would feel left out, so he forced to drop the topic, and said softly, "Are you still used to it on the first day?"
Xu Zaiyuan was caught off guard by the conversation, he was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "The six stone pillars just now represent the six gods, namely Qinglong, Suzaku, Snake, Gouchen, Baihu, and Xuanwu."
Tan Muxing was startled: "Ah, is that so..."
Holding the steering wheel, Liu Jun couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Zai Yuan, he cares about you, what do you know?"
Xu Zaiyuan faced the confused Tan Muxing, and heard Liu Jun's words, he pursed his lips and said: "The inner wall of the stone pillar bell is also engraved with the Fu of all things and the song of Xuanhuang Keying, which seems to be related to Xinyi..."
Tan Muxing was confused, and he was even more speechless: "So that's how it is."
"Stop, stop, talk about work during break time!" Chu Qianli suddenly turned her head and muttered, "You can't chat without breaking away from the hexagram, right? What Xing Xing wants to ask is not these, he wants you to say Two nonsense words."
"Bullshit?"
Chu Qianli spread his hands: "That's right, have you eaten, drank, or just gotten used to it, and then talk about your feelings about coming here, I don't want you to share your insights!"
Xu Zaiyuan fell silent, seemingly understanding but not understanding. He didn't quite understand these things, and used to talk about fortune-telling a lot.
Liu Jun stepped forward to make a rescue: "Zaiyuan used to be on the mountain, with only his seniors and brothers around him, he seldom interacted with others."
Mei Ruzhen asked in surprise, "Have you always lived on the mountain?"
"right."
Chu Qianli's face was full of novelty: "Then he is a fish who slipped through the nine-year compulsory education? Has he never experienced the baptism of knowledge?"
Xu Zaiyuan: "I have to go to school."
"Good guy, the quickest response is when you question your inability."
As soon as Chu Qianli interrupted, the car became active, and she seemed to be able to talk to people all the time.
Xu Zaiyuan was quite surprised by this. In his opinion, Chu Qianli was quite reckless, and he didn't feel that his life was dying at all, and he was even much more talkative and lively than ordinary people. Obviously the master taught him to restrain himself and preserve his strength cautiously, but what she did was the opposite of what the master taught.
The vehicle returns to the embassy abroad.
Chu Qianli and Mei Ru Z got out of the car first, followed by Tan Muxing and Xu Zaiyuan.
Outside the car, Xu Zaiyuan saw Tan Muxing not far away, he hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes and said: "It's okay to come here, it's a little cold."
Tan Muxing was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses, and said gently: "It's really cold."
Xu Zaiyuan begged for help humbly: "Is this also nonsense?"
"... No, no, no, this kind of communication doesn't seem to be the official name." Tan Muxing deeply felt that the little Taoist priest was being led astray by the brat, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. A friendly word?"
Xu Zaiyuan was thoughtful, and said in a low voice: "That nonsense is actually quite interesting."
In the embassy abroad, Huang Jue had been sent to the hospital. Pan Yicheng learned about the situation from Liu Jun, but now he frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the ruins later."
Liu Jun's complexion changed slightly.
"Recently, other countries seem to have heard the rumors, and it is estimated that the days ahead will not be stable." Pan Yicheng said, "You can just protect their safety, and we will take care of the rest."
Although China and Mondsen discussed joint development, the various forces around country H seem to have heard of it, and now they are ready to move. Chu Qianli and others' deciphering the ruins does not mean the end of the matter, but it may be the beginning of the dispute.
Liu Jun said solemnly: "I promise to complete the task."
On the other side, Lin sat in the room expressionlessly, crumpling up the paper in his hand, staring at the family crest in front of him without saying a word.
Q arranged for Ebner to be responsible for the development of the ruins, and only let Lin intervene in the surrounding areas to cooperate, which is indeed a big blow to the next leader of Mondsen. Lin sat on the bench in the house today, but Ebner and the others advanced their exploration in an orderly manner.
Shi Zhuoqu noticed that Lin's complexion was not good, and said tactfully: "But Q also let you be in charge of the development of the baby stone."
Lin tapped his fingers on the table impatiently, and snorted coldly: "At first he asked me to be in charge of the ruins, but now he suddenly changed his mind, who knows if it will change later."
Shi Zhuoqu was not easy to answer.
Lin picked up the Monderson family crest on the table, and said casually, "Do you know where this thing came from?"
The Mundsen family symbol is the snake and the apple, which obviously comes from an old story.
"Should Adam and Eve be lured by the snake to eat the apple?"
"That's right, but what they ate was not the apple, but the fruit of good and evil. Adam and Eve didn't know good and evil at first. After eating the fruit, they became wise and ashamed, but they were expelled from the Garden of Eden by God." Lin raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "How unfair? Just because you have your own thoughts."
"Q is like a high god, but unfortunately I am not Adam and Eve." Lin clutched the badge in the palm of his hand, his eyes showed a fierce light, "I will not be expelled so easily."
If he is going to be kicked out of the Garden of Eden, he must kill God in advance.
The next day, Ebner and others sent a message to the Chinese side, indicating that they had also found the key point, and now they continued to explore step by step.
After being assigned, the Chinese personnel had to take Zaiyuan and Liu Jun to the place where Taomujian was placed, while Chu Qianli and others stayed at the place where Sanqingling was placed. The compass and tarot cards are far away, and the group will drive there tomorrow.
There is a wide ground inside the six tall stone pillars. The snow on the surface has been completely cleared away, revealing countless small stone pillars like plum blossom piles, like chess pieces scattered on a grid-shaped chessboard, just enough for one person to step on.
Chu Qianli probed to look at the inner wall of the bell: "The Taoist is really right, there are indeed records here."
There are inscriptions on the bells of the six large stone pillars, all of which are divination cases and formulas, but they are only in classical Chinese. This is like a case. The ancients summarized the divination cases and compiled them into catchy poems, which are convenient for future researchers to recite and learn from.
But Chu Qianli didn't quite understand it. She studied Ziwei Doushu, which was not the same way, and she was a little confused.
"It's all the formulas of Plum Blossoms. I memorized quite a few of them when I was a child." Mei Ru Z observed it and said in a daze, "But I don't think I've seen it before."
Tan Muxing: "Didn't they say that there are many records here that are not available outside?"
"That makes sense, then we'll put the keys in later and write down these cases." Chu Qianli held the Sanqing bell, she shook it casually, and said, "I just don't know where the bell should be placed as a key .”
Sanqingling's voice was deep and thick, and it suddenly resonated.
The next moment, the bells on the six stone pillars rang in unison. They could not move at first, but now they responded!
Mei Ru Z asked in surprise, "What the hell?"
"Are these six bells Sanqingling's younger brother?" Chu Qianli faced the stone pillar bells that sounded at the same time. She had just complained about halfway, but she felt a familiar headache, and immediately exclaimed in pain, almost dropping Sanqing in her hand bell.
Tan Muxing hurriedly helped her up: "What's wrong?"
The seven bells rang at the same time, images emerged, and it was as if ten thousand arrows were fired in my mind.
Chu Qianli shook his head and said weakly: "This sound has the same effect as the corridor pattern."
The sound can also be used to enter the hexagram. After hearing this sound, she subconsciously calculated it, and instantly felt a splitting headache!
"I seem to know what to do." Mei Ru Z looked at the plum blossom piles on the ground, she stepped on one nimbly, and said, "You two ring the bell beside me."
Talking about Mu Xing: "Is it enough to keep shaking?"
"Yes, it's better to be regular. If I'm not wrong, it should rely on Xinyi." Meru Z recalled, "It's quite like the game I played with my grandma when I was young."
The six stone pillars correspond to the six gods, and the plum blossom piles in the middle are also regular. According to Meiru Z's speculation, the order of stepping on the small stone piles is particular. By shaking the three clear bells and stepping on them in sequence according to the sound, it is estimated that the puzzle here can be solved.
Mei Ru Z walked the stone pile, Chu Qianli came to ring the bell. She waved the Sanqing Bell and said loudly: "Okay! Drop the beat!"
As soon as the three clear bells rang, the six bells followed!
Meiru Z stepped on one of the stone piles.
Hearing this voice, Chu Qianli couldn't help reacting, and gasped in pain. She always felt that there was something sharp poking in her head, and wanted to find out the reason, but it was even more difficult to think about it together.
Tan Muxing saw that her expression was tense, so he simply took out two sound-proof earplugs from his pocket, stuffed them into her ears one by one, covered her red ears with his hands, and asked, "Is it okay to hear it like this?" Can I see you?"
Chu Qianli felt that her frozen ears were revived by the warmth. She couldn't help squinting her eyes comfortably, and at the same time found that her ears were much cleaner.
Mei Ru Z reminded: "Don't think about hexagrams. The test here is Xinyi. Once you think about complex deduction, you will be affected by the sound."
Chu Qianli saw Mei Ru Z open and close her mouth, she blinked in confusion, and asked, "Want to make a divination? Listen to the voice?"
"Don't make a fuss! Don't listen to the voice!"
"do not stop?"
"Very good, she can't hear, it should be fine." Mei Ru Z saw that Chu Qianli was covered by Tan Muxing's ears, and she found that the other party could not hear clearly, and she expected that it would not be possible to be affected again.
After Chu Qianli couldn't hear the bell clearly, the headache disappeared and he began to ring the bell rhythmically.
Mei Ru Z didn't make a fuss, she walked on the stone pile as lightly as a swallow, and soon felt a slight vibration, as if the six stone pillars and the stone pile were triggered.
Chu Qianli knew that what he learned was different from what Meiru Z learned. Ziwei Doushu uses the stars to push people or fate. easy.
The so-called Xinyi may be the end of the prediction technique, put aside the trivial and boring pattern of hexagram formation, rely only on intuition and inspiration, without any reference, just pick it up and use it, straight to the point!
Each spell may also show the personality of the user to a certain extent, just like Chu Qianli always likes to get to the bottom of metaphysics. Just know the outcome of the event by feeling.
Mei Ru Z has no hexagrams in her heart now, she only relies on the sound of the bell to stimulate her sixth sense, and approaches the most central stone pile step by step. That stone pile is different from the others, and it should be the end point.
Chu Qianli was still ringing the bell. She couldn't hear it now, but felt that the difficulty was increasing.
The next moment, several sharp arrows were suddenly fired from the hole in the stone pillar, attacking the unsuspecting Meiru Z!
The principle of the old device is unknown, so naturally no one could have expected this scene.
"Miss Ru Z, be careful!"
Both Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing broke into a cold sweat, but seeing Mei Ruzi dodge sensitively, it seemed that she had predicted it long ago.
Seeing her dodging, Chu Qianli immediately rang the bell to help her continue down.
Next, sharp arrows flew out from the other stone pillars, splashing cold light in the air, almost bruising people on the field many times!
However, Mei Ru Z can always barely escape, as if she has eyes behind her.
The stone pillar in the center is close at hand.
Mei Ru Z stepped on it, and the six stone pillars made a loud rumbling sound, and even the bells were shaken to make a deafening buzz!
Chu Qian Liming was covered by Tan Muxing's ears tightly, but she still had a splitting headache and said in a muffled voice, "This kind of sound won't cause an avalanche."
Six bells rang together, the momentum was astonishing!
Everyone around was affected by the activation of the stone pillar, only Meiru Z was safe and sound.
After the violent shock, everything returned to calm.
Not long after, the staff next to him reported: "The news just came from the hall that a bead fell into the slot!"
One of the Seven Stars Lianzhu has been completed, and there are still six beads left.
Mei Ru Z got down from the stone pile and looked at the sharp arrows that fell to the ground. They were all sharp hidden weapons with the length of a finger. She suddenly remembered that when she was learning Xinyi as a child, she would always be interrupted by her grandma, and she couldn't help sighing: "Even having hidden weapons is the same as when I was a child."
Tan Muxing's face showed embarrassment: "...Sister Ru Z, what exactly did you experience in childhood?" I always felt that it was a strange childhood experience.
Chu Qianli: "This may be a generation gap. I played differently when I was young."
Meru Z: "Do we have a generation gap?"
Chu Qianli said earnestly: "Although there is indeed the word "defying one's life", when we were young in the countryside, we generally didn't play with it."
"..."
