Wen Qingshan said: "The five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. Generally, the magic formations related to the five elements will basically use the method of interfering with the five elements. I am thinking that the same is true for breaking the seal."
I was slightly startled: "You mean, you have to use the five elements to restrain each other in order to break the seal?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "Since this seal is related to the five elements, I think it is impossible not to use the five elements' mutual restraint. Metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes metal. Therefore, I think Shi Yu
You should put the metallic copper bell into the wood-type groove, and put copper bells that are incompatible with it in other grooves..."
Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him and said, "But the problem now is that we don't know what these symbols represent among the five elements."
Wen Qingshan looked at me, and then at Long Jiu beside him, with a surprised look on his face. He asked in disbelief: "You haven't figured out the meaning of the five elements corresponding to these characters?"
Long Jiu nodded and said: "I have never seen this kind of hieroglyphics before, and I don't know its origin. It may have something to do with gods. According to legend, there is a kind of writing in the divine world, but this kind of writing cannot be read by ordinary people.
clear."
Wen Qingshan stared at those hieroglyphic runes for a while, frowned and said: "This kind of writing is somewhat similar to ancient hieroglyphics. Do you think it is possible to find something similar to it?"
hieroglyphic characters and then infer their meaning?”
After listening to what Wen Qingshan said, I slapped my head and said, "Yes, I can send these hieroglyphs to Professor Dong and ask him to take a look."
"Yes, Mr. Dong is very knowledgeable in ancient writing. Maybe he can actually deduce it! Send it to him and try it!" Wen Qingshan said as he returned the phone to me.
Since we are now deep underground, I originally thought that there must be no signal on the mobile phone. I was going to go out and call Professor Dong. But when I took the mobile phone from Wen Qingshan and took a look, I found that not only did the mobile phone have a signal, but it was almost full.
.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised that there was no interference to the mobile phone signal at such a deep underground level. It was simply a miracle!
Although I found it incredible, I didn’t think too much. I opened my phone’s address book, found Professor Dong’s phone number, and quickly dialed it.
I told Professor Dong on the phone that I had come across some very rare hieroglyphics and wanted to ask him for help to see if I could decipher the meaning of these characters. When I heard that they were hieroglyphs, Professor Dong immediately became more energetic and asked me to immediately
Then send it to him.
After hanging up the phone, I sent Professor Dong the photos of the hieroglyphics I had just taken, and reminded him via text message that these words should be related to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
I originally thought I would have to wait a long time, but what I didn't expect was that after waiting for six or seven minutes, Professor Dong texted me back. When I saw it, he had marked out the meanings of several hieroglyphics! And he also included
There was a reasonable explanation. It turned out that when he was studying the ruins of an ancient city in the Kunlun Mountains, he found this kind of writing on a stone tablet. He found that this kind of writing seemed to be older than the oracle bone inscriptions, and thought it might be an
This was a major discovery, so we conducted in-depth research based on various ancient Chinese pictographs.
Although so far, he has not been able to completely decipher the meaning of the characters engraved on the stone tablet, he has deciphered the meanings of fifty or sixty of the simpler and more common characters.
It was also a coincidence that among the five hieroglyphs I sent him, four of them happened to be included in the characters he had already deciphered, namely wood, water, fire, and earth. Although he had not been able to decipher gold before, now that he knew
After understanding the corresponding meanings of four of them, the remaining one is naturally gold.
Although Professor Dong gave the answer so quickly, Long Jiu couldn't believe it. He said: "In fact, I have asked several well-known ancient writing experts in China to read these words before, and each of them has a good understanding of each word."
Each word has a different meaning, so I can't be sure. Although Professor Dong is very confident, how can he guarantee that what he said is accurate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, I immediately said: "I believe in Professor Dong's judgment!"
Wen Qingshan also said at the side: "I know Professor Dong's character well. He has always been more rigorous. If he was not absolutely sure, he would not be so sure."
After listening to what Wen Qingshan and I said, Long Jiu pondered for a moment, and seemed to finally make up his mind. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Okay! Then try what he said! If you make a mistake..." He was mid-sentence.
, but stopped again.
I hurriedly asked: "Master Jiu, what will happen if I make a mistake?"
Long Jiu turned to look at me, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "If I make a mistake, I'm afraid the trap will be triggered. Ordinary array traps are nothing more than arrow traps, but this is a divine array after all.
, I have never encountered it before, and I don’t know what will happen.”
After listening to what Long Jiu said, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. When it comes to the divine formation, I have entered it once by mistake, and that was the time when the mark of the sealing talisman was left on my body. It can be said that I had a narrow escape. If it hadn't been for me
The body is protected by the original dragon energy, and the god who guards the divine formation is merciful, so I'm afraid I have to explain where it is.
Thinking of this, I immediately said to Long Jiu and Wen Qingshan: "Master Jiu, Boss Wen, how about this? You step back first and I will go over and give it a try! In case something goes wrong and you are hurt."
When Wen Qingshan heard this, he immediately said: "But if something goes wrong, what will you do?"
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss Wen! I'm not trapped that easily. Even if something goes wrong, I can still get out."
Long Jiu on the side nodded and said: "Shi Yu is a descendant of the Dragon Vein and is protected by the Dragon Qi in his body. It should be no problem to escape. What's more, we can't help here, so why not just listen to Shi Yu and stay away?"
Just order it.”
Seeing that Long Jiu also said the same thing, Wen Qingshan didn't want to say anything more. He told me a few words to be careful, and then left along the original road with Long Jiu and Long Jiansheng.
When I could no longer hear the footsteps of the three of them, I took a deep breath and walked towards the soul stone with the five copper bells in hand.
I walked to the soul stone and lay down again. I observed it carefully first. In order to avoid confusion, I lined up the five copper bells in the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and gently placed them on the floor.
According to the principle of the mutual restraint of the five elements, I picked up the metallic copper bell from the ground and carefully placed it into the wooden groove.
The size is just right. It seems that we guessed it right. At least the copper bell should be put into this groove. If what Wen Qingshan said is accurate, we only need to put the five copper bells into the grooves whose five elements are incompatible.
Inside the slot, the seal should be opened.
I lay on the floor and waited quietly for a moment, but nothing happened. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, does this mean I put it right or wrong?
I decided to put another one in to try, so I picked up the wood attribute copper bell and put it into the earth attribute groove. After waiting for a while, there was still no reaction.
I felt increasingly unsure, but at this point I had no choice but to bite the bullet and put all the remaining bells into the corresponding grooves.
What I didn't expect was that after a while, there was still no response, the seal was not opened, and no trap was triggered.
What is going on? Could it be that we made a mistake? In fact, the purpose of these five copper bells is not to open the seal of this divine formation?
Thinking of this, I took out the five copper bells that had been stuffed into the grooves one by one, took them in my hand and looked at them carefully, and then looked at the grooves on the soul stone. The size of the copper bells and the grooves were really big.
It is so appropriate. It would be unbelievable to say that there is no connection between the two. But if the copper bell is the "key" to unlock the seal, then why does it not react at all when it is put into the groove? Could it be?
Because it has been so long ago that the bell has become ineffective?
I was wondering when my cell phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was Wen Qingshan calling.
I quickly answered the phone: "Hello!"
"How's the situation!?" Wen Qingshan asked straight to the point on the other end of the phone.
I told him about the situation. After listening to what I said, he was silent for a moment and said: "Is it really like what Master Jiu said, just put the copper bell into the groove with the same five elements properties?
"
When I heard that it made sense, I immediately said, "Then I'll try it again!"
After hanging up the phone, I lay down on the ground again and put the five copper bells into the grooves with the same attributes as the five elements. What was unexpected was that there was still no reaction at all.
It seems that either the copper bell has failed, or the copper bell is not placed in these grooves. I took the copper bell out of the grooves again and was about to call Wen Qingshan and others to ask them to come over.
While making other plans, suddenly an idea flashed through my mind. The seal cannot be broken by using the method of mutual restraint of the five elements, so what will happen if the method of mutual generation of the five elements is used? The so-called mutual generation of the five elements means that metal generates water, water generates wood, and wood
Fire generates, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, life and death continue, and the cycle begins again. If this stone cocoon symbolizes a dead knot, then the interaction of the five elements may be equivalent to the gate of life, which is the key to untying the dead knot.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the best way to break the seal was to use the Five Elements of Interaction! I decided to give it a try, so I lay down next to the soul stone again. I took a deep breath, took out the metallic copper bell, and put it in
I waited for a moment in the water attribute groove, but there was still no response. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that the five elements were not correct, but I did not give up immediately, and decided to put all the other copper bells into the corresponding grooves.
