Chapter 579: Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches

What brings the dead back to life, what white bones regenerate muscle.

Standing in the ancient tomb, listening to Daji telling some ancient Chinese myths and stories.

It made Li Mu feel as if he was in a dream.

These things are really far away from Li Mu's actual life.

He actually wasn't very interested.

Qin Shihuang, the one emperor throughout the ages, is so powerful, has great achievements for thousands of years, and has unparalleled achievements.

The long-cherished wish that such a powerful person has not been able to fulfill proves that this is simply impossible.

Therefore, Li Mu shrugged indifferently.

For him, he could achieve his goal by getting a pill and now leaving the Qizhen Pavilion and leaving behind the mysterious man behind the Dark Dragon Guard.

As for the ethereal and extraordinary realm, it is really useless to him.

He has already stood at the position of the great master of martial arts in the world, and has obtained all the glory, wealth and supreme power.

Under such circumstances, he still wanted to live a happy life with his sisters instead of continuing to chase some illusory eternal life.

Daji saw what Li Mu was thinking at this time, so she said:

"Even if you have no interest in eternal life, you still have to get rid of the curse, right?"

After receiving the utensils handed over by Bai Fengyuan, several Dark Dragon Guards silently pulled the faucet ring, seemingly digesting what Bai Fengyuan said.

This amount of information is so huge that everyone almost feels like they are dreaming. It is all too outrageous. If the rebirth of a broken finger is still a biological category and something that can be realized in the future, then the subject of immortality is too big.

.

Emperors of all ages have been trying to seek immortality, which is almost impossible for ordinary people.

The moment Ji Qishui opened the bronze alchemy furnace again, the faucet ring suddenly turned.

Ji Qishui took a closer look and saw some small scales engraved on the edge of the faucet ring. It was really hard to find it in this dark tomb!

"Hmm?! This alchemy furnace seems to have another mystery!" Ji Qishui whispered...

"What did you find?"

Everyone gathered around to take a look and found that, as Ji Qishui said, there seemed to be something engraved on the copper ring of the stove.

"What do the words on it mean? The carvings are too small." Ji Qishui stared at it for a long time with eyes wide open.

"Get out of the way and let the shopkeeper take a look." Bai Fengyuan said impatiently.

Su Daji squeezed in from behind the two of them and glanced at the words on the bronze ring.

"The writing on it is Xiaozhuan, but the structure of the brushwork should have some ancient Jurchen script, so it is extremely difficult to read." She carefully identified it and found that the writing on it was Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen.

The twelve earthly branches of , Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai are neatly arranged around the dragon head.

Some people write Earthly Branches as "Di Zhi", which means the branching of a stem. In fact, it is a "branch", a supporting branch. The role of the earth itself is the role of the moon and the earth in the solar system, and the relationship between the solar terms. The ancients all used the term "Earthly Branches".

to record.

In ancient times, the earthly branches had a wide range of uses. When paired with yin and yang, it can be used to understand the Eight Diagrams of Zhouyi. When paired with the five elements, it can be understood in Feng Shui. When paired with the four seasons, it can be used to derive Feng Shui.

Since the bronze pull ring is engraved with small seal characters, it must not be the product of the Ice and Thunder Kingdom itself.

Such a huge and exquisite alchemy furnace must be a product of the Qin Dynasty, but since it is an alchemy furnace of the Qin Dynasty, why was it not designed according to the shape of the furnace at that time?

And why was it made into the shape of a coffin and placed in the coffin of the tomb owner?

Is the real coffin of the tomb owner hidden on the cliff where thousands of dragons ascend to heaven, as Bai Fengyuan said?

And who are these elixirs for?

Is the owner of the tomb really still alive?

Mysteries came one after another, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Are some historical records really legends?

In ancient my country, how many lost crystallizations of wisdom are there that are beyond the reach of modern society?

"Xiaozhuan? Are you sure? It says the twelve earthly branches?"

When Bai Fengyuan heard what I said, he seemed to have made some important discovery. His five slender and skinny fingers were like eagle claws, pinching the shoulders of the most honest-looking man in the Dark Dragon Guard Mountain who was standing behind Su Daji.

"I'm sure this is Xiaozhuan."

Bai Fengyuan's shriveled face showed a strange expression: "I can't guarantee whether my guess is correct or not. Come here and take a look with me."

Everyone quickly followed Bai Fengyuan to the side of the copper coffin. Bai Fengyuan turned on the flashlight and illuminated the pattern on it.

I also looked at the reliefs that Bai Fengyuan pointed out, and I felt that there was nothing special about them. They were just abstract totems such as a tiger attacking a rabbit or a python entwining a horse.

"Look, the tiger pounces on the horse, and the snake swallows the rabbit! What does this mean?"

"What's the point? The animals are hungry and eat each other." Ji Qishui touched his head and said.

"fart."

"Well, that shows the cruelty of nature. The tomb owner is showing off his powerful force. He is a tiger and everyone is a little white rabbit. Everyone can't escape from the palm of this old monster." Dark Dragon Guard

Inside, a rough-looking man with a shaved head joked playfully.

His name is Big Lei, and he is a humanoid tyrannosaurus. This time he went into the mountains. Along the way, this man with an inconspicuous scar on his face looked extremely rough, but his individual combat ability was indeed the closest to that of Li Mu. Unfortunately,

, muscular and simple-minded, a bit like the famous ancient general Lu Bu.

Bai Fengyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and explained directly: "In the five elements of Yin and Yang, Yinmao belongs to wood, Yin is Yang wood, and Mao is Yin wood. Siwu belongs to fire, Wu is Yang fire, and Si is Yin fire."

"Look at the flames on the snake, and the leaves rolled up by the tiger..." Bai Fengyuan said, reaching out to point to the unusual places on the tiger and snake.

"Hey! It's true what you said! Then what does it mean that yang fire burns yang wood and yin fire burns yin wood?" Ji Qishui asked.

Bai Fengyuan held her chin and pondered for a moment: "I can understand Yang wood and Yang fire, but what is this Yin fire and Yin wood?"

"Hurry up and continue." Ji Qishui didn't give Bai Fengyuan a chance to think.

Bai Fengyuan continued to look down, pointing to the fierce monkey with his hands inserted into the pig's neck and said: "You see, the Shen monkey is the Yang metal, and the Hai pig is the extremely Yin water, which is also Yin and Yang!"

"Gold, water, wood, fire...but there is no earth!" Su Daji said after realizing.

"It is said in the Eight Diagrams that because the gate of life is in Gen Palace, Gen is earth; the gate of death is in Kun Palace, and Kun is earth. Life is born on earth, and death is in earth! So the two doors pointed to by the dragon head pull ring, one is

There are two gates of life and one is the gate of death! Do you want to choose?" Bai Fengyuan's face was a little ugly, and he understood the gates of life and death without any explanation.

Although the door of life does not necessarily represent life, and the door of death does not necessarily mean death, talking about death in this ancient tomb seems a bit disturbing.

"That's wrong! There are only eight of the twelve earthly branches on this picture, so there are four more marks on the dragon's head!" Bai Lang asked with some confusion.

"Chenxu Chou belongs to earth, Chenxu is yang earth, Chouwei is yin earth. Weixu is dry earth, Chouchen is wet earth. Dry earth has fire in it, and wet earth has water in it." Bai Fengyuan shook his head and said.

.

"Speak humanly!" Li Mu was stunned and waved his hands with his eyes wide open.

As the leader of Dragon Territory, Li Mu has little understanding of traditional culture such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and cannot understand the terminology of professionals such as Qizhen Pavilion.

"It means that these four kinds of earth represent the world of heaven and hell!"

"Of course everyone chooses Yangjian! What is Yangjian? Is it Chenxu? Let's go quickly and see if the faucet ring can be turned here." Ji Qishui said excitedly.

The two of them studied with gusto.

At this time, Lin Yingzhao, a member of the Dark Dragon Guard who had not spoken much, took the initiative and said:

"No need to look, I have already noticed it just now. The parallel position of the dragon head pull ring is the Chenxu position! If everyone wants to change now, they will choose Yintu!"

"What? Choose Yin Earth!? Are you crazy? If you want to go to hell, don't use me as your support." When Ji Qishui heard that Lin Yingzhao, a layman, wanted to choose Yin Earth, he was instantly frightened.

He stopped him quickly and said.

"Even if everyone doesn't choose Yin Earth now, everyone has already been under a ghost curse. This curse is said to have an ominous power. We haven't figured out what it is yet. Ji Qishui is also insane. This should be

It's all caused by the curse. Although everyone is fine now, who can guarantee that next time, when the curse occurs again, they won't die tragically?"

Ji Qishui snorted: "Then according to what you say, just choose Yinming Hell? Then everyone might as well just hit them to death."

Su Daji, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "The yang pole produces yin, and the yin pole produces yang. I also agree with Lin Yingzhao's statement."

After saying this, Daji looked at the leaders of the Dark Dragon Guards who had been following everyone, stared at Lin Yingzhao and asked:

"You also know Feng Shui?"
