Zhutian Film and Television opens with a Taoist

Chapter 204 Yin Shang Formation, Skill Trap Demon Formation

"I think I heard about this somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while."

The main business of Yin Xinyue's family is various antique auctions, and it is normal to hear about various folk strange things.

"I remembered that when my family collected a volume of jade slips from the Shang Dynasty, they recorded almost similar rumors. People at that time seemed to have a special profession. In today's terms, they were called turtle farmers. They would Water Law, Good at Swimming, it says, these people have fish gills behind their ears and can live under water.”

There are fish gills growing out from behind the ears. It sounds like a story like the Book of Mountains and Seas. I don’t know what race it is. :"Then what?"

"No, there are only a dozen or so jade slips, and the appraiser believes that at that time, there was no ability to make such fine carvings on jade, because the characters on the jade slips were only the size of flies, and they looked like they were all It was carved with a knife and pen, but in the end because we couldn’t determine the authenticity, we identified it as a fake.”

He Xiu didn't care whether it was a fake or not. He just wanted to know what other abilities these people had. Looking at the jade pillar, it was obvious that it was some kind of special seal and suppression weapon. : "But what they do with turtles, fish for meat, and clams for pearls, it's understandable."

"Oh, Darling, don't you know what the Shang Dynasty has to do every day?"

This really touched on He Xiu's blind spot. He didn't dare to be interested in such a long history. Seeing He Xiu blinking at him with doubts on his face, Yin Xinyue stopped showing off.

"During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, divination was required for everything, ranging from whether or not to go out today, to national political and military affairs, and even to decide whether the person had committed a crime and whether he should die. Divination was required at least ten times a day. Several times, and the turtle shell is their prop for divination.”

When Yin Xinyue said this, He Xiu remembered that there was this description in the list of gods. : "I know about turtle shell divination. I learned it in order to earn a living! But it was revised from generation to generation after King Wen. Until now, it only costs three copper coins and a turtle shell."

"Well, but the divination in the Yin and Shang Dynasties was to insert a red-hot bronze rod into the turtle after a series of rituals of worshiping the city center, and judge the cracking degree and texture of the turtle shell. If the development of things is not For good luck, we must kill animals to sacrifice to God and pray for..."

Yin Xinyue showed off her knowledge sincerely, but He Xiu ignored her talk. It was a woman's fault to talk nonsense, and what men need to learn is to be silent and ignorant, otherwise they will make noise to death all day long.

The river was so fast that He Xiu didn't want to go down. The undercurrents and whirlpools under the water could sweep him in at any time. Water and fire were ruthless, otherwise there wouldn't be the existence of the Five Elements Magic and Water Magic.

"Xiaoqiang, go and dismantle the jade platform."

He originally thought he had nothing to do and was enjoying himself secretly, but in the end... the hard work still came to him. He had no choice but to comfort himself by saying that those who are capable work harder.

He Xiu hugged Yin Xinyue and stepped on the air like a dragonfly touching water, and came to the high mountain to watch Xiaoqiang's performance.

Strengthening the skeleton was not pretentious. He held up the bronze coffin and came to the place where He Xiu had just pointed. He jumped down a little further upstream.

After all, such a fast river still has thrust, and it has nothing to do with strength, but only with weight.

Xiaoqiang, leaning on the heavy bronze coffin, just followed the thrust of the surging water and slammed into the jade pillar platform.

The river water is still turbid now, but the water near Old Turtle is extremely clear, as if the turbidity under the water avoids it.

He Xiu's spiritual consciousness could see clearly that what the bronze coffin hit was not the jade pillar platform, but the isolation power emanating from it. The jade pillar platform was unscathed. This result made He Xiu frown tightly.

How could a turtle breeder have such great ability at that time to create such a formation? There must be expert guidance behind them.

Xiaoqiang, who was under the water, also lost his temper. He suddenly jumped up high, plunged half of his body into the soil, fixed his body, lifted the thousand-jin bronze coffin lid, rounded it, and smashed it towards the jade platform.

Boom!

The ground shook and the mountains shook. Xiaoqiang hit the jade pillar, but the shaking was indeed on the surrounding cliffs. Yin Xinyue almost fell down, but fortunately He Xiuyan was quick and caught it.

Boom!

Again, Xiaoqiang had no idea what was happening outside. He only knew that this formation was very annoying. The power he was so arrogant and proud of could not open its energy shield.

He Xiu felt the shaking of the mountain again. Every time Xiaoqiang hit the jade pillar, he instantly understood what was going on, Chuanyin said. : "Xiaoqiang, come up here. This jade pillar is connected to the terrain and mountains. It cannot be smashed."

The Jade Pillar Formation connects the mountains and rivers. It is no wonder that it has been able to stand for thousands of years. It was just a group of people wearing straw clothes. How did they do it? Is there really an immortal who could not communicate with the human world at that time?

Exploring his spiritual consciousness and digging deep into the layers of mud, he found clues. Under the old turtle, there was a jade plate the size of a table, supporting the old turtle's abdomen, and the bronze chains connected under the jade plate were visible in all directions.

"Xinyue, you are waiting for me here. I will go down and Xiaoqiang will protect you."

After saying that, He Xiu jumped up and jumped towards the river. Behind him, Yin Xinyue didn't bother to answer anything about you need to be careful. Such words are usually bullshit, just like telling the driver to be careful when driving. It means something, but it's not time to shave. It has to be scraped, or should it be bumped?

After receiving the news of the retreat, Xiaoqiang finally pulled himself out of the mud, held the bronze coffin, flew out of the water, and came to the riverside. He grabbed the sand and prepared to give the bronze coffin a good brush. Anyway, he just washed it if it was wet.

"Xiao Qiang, look at the crescent moon. If something happens, I will feed your bones to the dogs, Ayousi Dan?"

The enhanced skeleton raised his head and looked at Yin Xinyue on the cliff. He felt that women were really troublesome. How could anything be so good at night? As for carrying such a burden all day long, thinking about where the two of them wanted to go so freely before, I really don't know what the master is thinking, he must be worried.

Of course, He Xiu had to listen to the orders he gave, so he simply gave up the work of scrubbing the bronze coffin. When he got home, he asked those guys to set it on fire and renovate it. It would be better if he painted it or something. , so happy.

On the water, He Xiu's consciousness followed the underground bronze rope chains and spread out around. Only then did he realize that there was such a jade pillar cage every hundred meters away, but in their cages, there were only It's just a huge turtle shell, exuding the aura of divine will.

Among the four mythical beasts of ancient times, the northern mythical beast Xuanwu is a combination of a turtle and a snake, representing the God of the North. In Bagua, it is the threshold, and in the Five Elements, it is water, which symbolizes Yin among the four images and winter among the four seasons. After the Han Dynasty, he was pardoned and granted the title of Protector of Dharma, and later Emperor Zhenwu. Therefore, turtles are inseparable from ancient times and the immortal protectors in Taoism. Moreover, the turtle itself has spirituality. The turtle shell is what remains after the death of the turtle, and it also has spirituality to some extent.

The structure of the tortoise skeleton is very unique. There are tortoise patterns on the back of the turtle. There are three grids in the middle of the tortoise pattern, which represent the three talents of heaven, earth and man respectively. There are twenty-four squares next to it, representing the twenty-four solar terms. There are also ten grids, representing the ten heavenly stems. There are twelve grids on the bottom of the turtle shell, representing the twelve earthly branches. Therefore, the above characteristics correspond to the three talents of the Bagua, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. This characteristic makes the turtle shell an important tool in the hexagram.

For some reason such as immortality, the turtle has also become an auspicious spirit. This thousands-year-old tortoise shell is naturally a great magical weapon. Its empty stomach is pregnant with the Qi of the universe. No matter what magical weapon it is made into, it has special abilities.

Exploring along the broad river surface, we found that there are about thirty jade pillar platforms here. Isn't this something that a tribe that only raises turtles for the king can do?

Thinking about it, this must have been the turtle breeding ground of the Human King at that time, and this jade pillar platform was also a magical weapon specially built by Qi practitioners at that time. Such a large-scale effort was just for divination, which was enough.

We don’t know if he is spiritual or not. Anyway, the fake blind master at the door of the monastery is a complete liar. Ahem, the fact that he is a monk cannot be considered a liar. It can only be said that he does psychological counseling work, so that those with Those who get the answers are satisfied, and those who are confused can find the motivation to move forward, which is considered a reward for their hard work.

"Is the only one alive is the turtle in the middle?" He Xiu murmured to himself. Of the thirty-six jade pillar cages, only one giant turtle stuck in the north jade pillar was left. They were all different in size, and they were all dead. Under the erosion of time, even the turtle, which represented the long beast, could not withstand it.

But will the Changjiang Water Conservancy, which has been absorbed for so many years, have any special abilities?

Ding!

The system randomly generates branch tasks to save the ten thousand turtles in the Tiangang cage.

Reward: Instant Magic Trap Array!

"There is actually a mission. Why didn't I give it when I found this place last time?" He Xiu was shocked when he saw the system that suddenly faked corpses. What kind of thing is this? There has been no response for a year, and it suddenly opened, and I almost forgot about it.

"I originally planned to let this turtle go free, do it if it can be done, and pull it down if it can't be done, but now it seems that it is impossible to do anything else."

He Xiu also found the console connected to the operation of the entire formation. It was on the platform that was washed into pits by rain on the edge of the cliff. Those who didn't know it thought that this was a natural stone platform. Thousands of years ago, it was Console, with a small groove in the middle.

He Xiu thought of the ancient seal and the ancient bronze seal. He thought it might be some kind of magic weapon, but he never expected that it was the key to controlling some deep-water jade pillar cages.

In the corner of the space warehouse, He Xiu found it. At that time, there was a little zombie with it, a female spirit zombie with some telepathy.

However, He Xiu felt that it had no fighting power, so he placed it in Jiuzhaigou Valley and ran around with the children every day. He didn't know what it was doing now.

I have seen that kind of zombie in one of Uncle Jiu's dojos, but his one is not as powerful as my own, and it still has obvious zombie traces.

The bronze seal is square and covered with traces of time. I input mana casually, and it emits a faint light, which is not dazzling. Before, I only thought of it as an antique for collection, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

Click!

I put it into the small groove and it was just right, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any reaction.

"Could it be that it was too long ago, so...is the console broken?"

Rumble!

I was just about to think of other ways! As a result, the whole earth trembled, and there were rough waves and wind and clouds on the river, as if something huge was about to emerge from the bottom of the water.

On the cliff not far away, the reinforced skeleton rose into the sky with Yin Xinyue, fearing that the violent shock would cause the mountain to collapse.

Yin Xinyue was a little puzzled as she watched the silt from the river bottom emerging from the water, but He Xiu knew that it was the silt brought out by the jade pillar cage driven by the bronze chain buried underneath.

The sound of kakaka also kept coming. The equipment that had not been touched for thousands of years was still intact. Thinking about the quality of various modern products, they really should learn from it. The unscrupulous ones would break it at every turn, just for the sake of more. Take money out of consumers' pockets.

On the water, this ruin that has not been exposed to water since the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties is once again displayed in the world. The jade pillars are engraved with shining runes and hieroglyphs, telling the ancient age it represents.

If there is an archaeological team or something. You may be overjoyed. There was too little information at that time, especially the unearthing of texts, which may add another chapter to that history.

Thirty-six jade platforms are connected to jade pillars, and they are so densely packed that they look like jade pillars growing out of the water. No one would have thought that such a magical thing could happen in this ancient time.

Under the jade platform, bursts of light emitted, and the turtle was held suspended on the water. Each huge turtle shell was locked in it, and only the one in the middle was still alive.

It obviously did not adapt to this new environment, its eyes were full of doubts, and it stretched its neck and swayed left and right to watch the new world.

In the past, his daily routine was to eat and poop, and his body was stuck.

The lines on the tortoise shell seem to have given birth to a special luster. Its original destiny was to take off its shell and roast it on the fire, and crack out different cracks, allowing people to guess the future.

Naturally, He Xiu wouldn't do this. Seeing the future, that kind of thing is not what ordinary people should do. Destiny... In He Xiu's view, it is actually a choice. He faces countless forks in the road every day, and every decision represents a meaning. Different fates, why waste time calculating them!

Looking at the jade platform that had stopped, He Xiu took four square steps, stepped up into the air, came to the jade pillar cage, and tried to stretch out his hand. The sacred energy circle with the power of isolation had disappeared.

The old turtle was very afraid of He Xiu. It had never seen a monster with two legs. There was hesitation and fear in its eyes, and its whole body was full of resistance. It could not bite anyone with its extended neck.

With a hiss, its head and limbs retracted into its shell. This was its instinct. Whenever it encountered possible danger, it would hide first.

He Xiu didn't think much about the turtle who had developed spiritual intelligence but had no learning. Who is born to know this?

"Brother Xiu, where is this big turtle?" He had just come over to see the strange Yin Xinyue, but before he came, the big turtle disappeared unexpectedly.

"If you want to see it, let's go home and take a look." The jade platform and jade pillars are very big, and they can't fit so many in the space. You might as well collect them next time you pass by.

The stream of light engraved on it turned around, it was a Dao pattern. He Xiu looked at it with fascinated eyes, hoping to realize something, but it obviously failed. He was not the master of such mental work at all.

The patterns of each jade platform and jade pillar are similar, and a strange formation has been added to the knowledge treasure house, but He Xiu has not yet figured out what to call it.
