Chapter 284 The Secret of the Eight Trigrams
Chapter 284 The Secret of the Eight Trigrams
Huanxi stretched and said lazily, "Yes."
Then Xu Qingzhao went outside the cave to shed the rabbit's skin. When she packed her things yesterday, she packed some seasonings such as salt. Huanxi stood up and took the things out of the backpack.
When I turned to the bottom, I found two tung oil lamps.
After cleaning the cave, Xu Qingzhao came back with the cleaned rabbit.
"We had such a sumptuous meal so early in the morning that I felt embarrassed to eat lunch." Huanxi muttered with a smile.
"Huanhuan, it's already past noon..."
Since she had slept for so long, she looked down at her palms and saw that they were already scabby.
Will my body fall into a period of self-sleep every time I donate blood?
This can also be considered a self-protection mechanism.
Sitting by the fire, the animals chatting happily with each other felt more lively than at home.
"Xiaobai, come here~" She waved her hand and asked Xiaobai to come to her.
Xiaobai heard her call and came over like a big dog, wagging his tail.
"Huanhuan, huanhuan, huanhuan~" Xiaobai's voice no longer sounds like the voice of a child at that time, but the voice of a young man.
This sound indicates that Xiaobai is now a mature wolf.
She stroked Xiaobai's head, and an inexplicable sadness rose in her heart.
The two birds waited for Su Jun on the cliff for more than a hundred years, and the guy in the deep cold pool endured loneliness alone for a hundred years.
What will happen to these animals if she is gone one day?
Suddenly, she thought of a line from an anime she loved: "Don't form a bond, it will only add to your troubles."
How long were the animals before her lifespan? She didn't dare to think...
The longest lifespan of a tiger is twenty years, the lifespan of a snake is only a few decades, and the lifespan of a wolf is only a dozen years.
Whoever leaves first will suffer a sorrow without any storm for the rest.
The animals before her were her family, even closer than her family. Whichever one left before her...
She didn't even notice that her eyes were wet.
"Huanhuan...are you feeling unwell?" Xu Qingzhao saw that she was absorbed in her thoughts and her eyes were a little red, so he asked with some concern.
Huanxi came to her senses and became emotional...
It’s too early to deal with these unfounded things. Why torture yourself with things that haven’t happened?
"I'm fine, is the rabbit okay? I'm so hungry~"
"Okay, okay, I'll pull your leg for you~"
After eating the roasted rabbit, the two packed their bags and prepared to go to the other side of the cave entrance to visit the younger brother and sister during the day.
They must not go back on their word that they promised yesterday.
"Who will come with me?" Huanxi asked a row of animals like Khan inspecting his troops.
"I'll go! I'll go, I'll go!" Xiaobai wagged his tail. He hadn't gone out with Huanhuan for a long time, and he wanted to go out and play with Huanhuan.
"I'll go too." Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue. She had been there before and knew the way.
"I want to go too." Brother Tai also said.
"I want to go too, I want to go, I want to go too~" Xiaohua stretched out on the ground, ready to sprint.
Huanxi understood that this was just nonsense.
So he called Xu Qingzhao, took a tung oil lamp and prepared to explore the cave.
"Not...a hole?"
There is no trace of a hole on the stone wall. It is so tightly sealed that there is not even a crack to be found.
Xu Qingzhao stood behind him and also began to look for the mechanism.
"Then how did you open it yesterday? There should be a mechanism somewhere."
"Look, look, if you look carefully, this is a huge Bagua map. I accidentally opened it last night, and I forgot where I opened it..." She said while groping, trying to find the strange bulge.
Suddenly, Xu Qingzhao discovered the secret.
The two yin and yang give birth to the four symbols, and the four symbols give birth to the eight trigrams.
Among the Eight Trigrams, Qian and Kun are the most important two.
Generally speaking, Qian represents heaven and Kun represents earth.
But this Bagua diagram is reversed, with Kun on top and Qian on the bottom.
After feeling around for a while, I found that this hexagram was engraved on it and could not be moved.
Therefore, the intention of the person who carved the picture was to reverse the yin and yang, so that the black and white in the middle would be reversed.
Xu Qingzhao spread out the gray stone under the Kun hexagram, and sure enough, a small bulge was revealed.
"Is this it?" She pointed at the bulge and looked over happily. Sure enough, it was the one she accidentally touched last night.
But the bulge was discovered, but how to open it was a problem.
Huanxi remembered the bloodstains on her palm at that time, and immediately realized that her blood was needed to open the door.
He pulled out the hairpin and took out the small sword, all in one go.
Then stick the blood from your fingertips to the stone.
"That's how I did it yesterday. As for how the hole was opened, none of us saw it."
Xu Qingzhao also nodded. This diagram was definitely not as simple as it looked. However, based on what she knew, it was not easy to decipher.
Otherwise, would Su Jun have to cut his fingers when he returned home?
"It's out!" Huanxi shouted.
That's it, this hole suddenly appeared when no one was paying attention.
"I swear, I was staring at it intently!" Huanxi was puzzled. The world is so big and full of wonders, and she had seen such a magical thing.
"This might be some kind of deception. There are many extraordinary people in the martial arts world, and many aristocratic families are good at making amazing mechanical devices."
"That's quite impressive. The hole opened silently like that. I wish I could learn how to do that. Let's go, take the tung oil lamp."
"it is good……"
The two of them and the four of them entered the cave, and it suddenly became bustling with activity.
Tai Ge and Xiaohua took the lead, walking in front and looking around, while Xiaobai followed behind, jumping around excitedly.
Xiaoqing was the most steady and followed closely, occasionally chatting with Huanxi.
"Where did the hallucination occur yesterday?" Xu Qingzhao asked.
"I don't know, is it somewhere near here?"
"You really scared me yesterday. Let's not stray too far away. Hold hands. It should be much better if there are more people around this time."
"Okay, hold on."
The two hands are tightly held, just like the love between parents.
The strange thing was that there was no strange illusion this time. A group of creatures of various species walked out of the cave after more than 20 minutes.
"You're here? You're here?"
"Huanhuan! Huanhuan is here."
As soon as I came out, I heard the calls of the two eagles.
As soon as Tai Ge and Xiao Hua went out, they started to have fun and happily went up to say hello to the two big birds.
"Brother and sister! I'm coming!"
Then two birds flew over, landed in front of Huanxi and looked at her with silly eyes.
"Yeah? There's another person here? Why isn't this person talking?" It was my little sister's voice.
"She is my lover. She can't understand animals' language, but she is a good human being." Huanxi quickly introduced.
Hearing Huanxi's introduction, Xu Qingzhao bowed and said:
"My last name is Xu, you can call me Qing Zhao."
"Okay, okay, I'll recruit you personally~"
"Sex, sex, sex~"
I am so happy and embarrassed... these two birds didn't say anything right...
