Shen Yuan has obviously lost his composure. If he has not been depressed for too long and has gone insane, he may have really figured it out. I saw him walking around with a compass, muttering something unknown in his mouth. I sincerely feel for this bad old man.
Don't have high expectations.
Just as he walked further and further away and we were considering whether to follow him, he stopped next to a stalagmite and stopped there to study something.
Within two minutes, Shen Yuan suddenly danced and let out ear-splitting laughter. The level of excitement made me worry that he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. It would be no longer fun to hang here all of a sudden. Although he was unreliable and always fell off the chain, but
In a place like this, a layman like me still needs his help.
"Boss Ye, this is not an ordinary stalagmite, this is a pillar of fortune." Shen Yuan turned his head and said to me loudly.
Yuba! Is it edible? Could it be that Old Shen is really demented and thinks that the stalagmites are yuba and wants to make a hot pot here and cook the yuba?
"What a tragedy, this bad old man is crazy."
I whispered to Mao Tianlin: "Master Qi, your grandson is now delirious and in a state of madness. I can't beat him. Hurry up and slap him in the mouth to make him calm down."
"Is it useful?" Wu Zijin asked from the side.
I said, "You don't know if it's any use. You're trying to treat a dead horse like a living doctor. Didn't Fan Jin go crazy when he won the imperial examination? He only woke up after being slapped in the face."
Mao Tianlin stared at Shen Yuan for a long time, and then said slowly and leisurely: "My eyes are clear, it's okay."
"Are you sure?" I asked.
Mao Tianlin nodded and said nothing more.
Not long after, Shen Yuan started to get busy. He was seen running around with a compass, marking many stalagmites. After struggling for a while, he ran to another direction, also studying those stalagmites, and
After making some marks, almost an hour later, he finally came back and said with excitement: "I have found a way to crack the maze, hahahahahaha..."
I said: "Tell me and listen."
Shen Yuan was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and said: "Boss Ye, I have to thank you for this. It seems that there is a certain destiny. The unintentional conversation between you and me can make me realize this maze."
I twisted my face as if I was constipated. Could it be unintentional? The young master just wanted to make you uncomfortable, so he deliberately said those arrogant words: "Sir, what words did I say that made you realize something?"
"
"Get to the other side early."
Shen Yuan pointed to the runes on the huge stalagmite and said: "The reason why I didn't understand it is because I was thinking with Buddhist thinking, so I couldn't figure out the mystery. Later, our conversation made me suddenly remember
, Taoism has its own way, in fact, Buddhism also has its own way, and conversely, Buddhism has its own other shore, then Taoism also has its own other shore, and the other shore here is not the other shore of Buddha, but the other shore of Tao."
"Stop it...little master, let me smooth it out first."
I thought for a moment and said:
"You said that the reason why you know these four words is because you were drinking tea, chatting and blowing water with a monk, and he told you these four words, right!"
Shen Yuan nodded, "Yes!"
"Isn't this problem obvious?"
I said: "Even Taoism also has the so-called other shore, but those four words were given to you by the monk, or told by the monk. Logically speaking, it is the other shore of Buddha. How come it became the other shore of Tao to you?
!You Taoists don’t have a nine-year compulsory education! After all, your family is also a branch of Taoism, and you are considered a Taoist major. Why do you let a monk teach you the other side of Taoism? Don’t you think it’s strange!”
"Well……"
Shen Yuan was stunned, and after a long time he hesitated and said: "Well... uh... Boss Ye, do you think there is such a possibility that the words "early to the other side" actually belong to Taoism.
But for some unknown reason, it was transferred to Buddhism and was taken over by them... Yes, that must be the case, all of their bald donkeys are sanctimonious."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
I interrupted Shen Yuan's words: "You also said that those four characters were rubbed from Bayeux, right! Have some common sense, Master Shen, do you know what Bayeux is? Little Master
Let me tell you, they are Bedolu leaves, which were used by ancient Indians for writing. When Xuanzang went to study for scriptures, the scripture he brought back was the Beiye Sutra. But you said that the runes written on the Beiye were passed down from Taoism.
Can I have some facial expressions?"
Shen Yuan's face turned green and red again, "But...but I have already understood the formation here. It is the other side of the road. I can't be wrong. The words "climb to the other side early..." I guess...a long time ago
It must have great origins with both Taoism and Buddhism.”
"Xiao Shen, why are you so sure!" Mao Tianlin seemed to agree with what I said and expressed doubts about Shen Yuan.
"Master Qi, my Ximen and your Yin Sect are both derived from Taoism."
Shen Yuan explained to Mao Tianlin: "The other side of the Buddha is the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the soul goes to the western bliss, while the other side of the Tao is immortality, and the body goes to the eastern paradise. Our other side has three parts, one is heaven, and there are thirty
Of the three heavens, the second is the earth boundary, with thirty-six caves in the sky, and the third is the fairy island on the sea, with ten continents and three islands, and this is a formation laid out according to the thirty-six caves and heavens in the earth."
"Haha...the sky, the earth, and the sea are so domineering! The sea, land, and air are all occupied by your Taoism. This is not giving other sects a place to establish themselves!" I joked.
Shen Yuan said: "Boss Ye, we don't care about the origin of these four words now, but I can be sure that this is the other side of the Tao. There are thirty-six caves in the earth and heaven. Each cave has more than 700 pillars of blessing, corresponding to the sky.
There are more than 700 stars in the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the West. The arrangement of the fortune pillars I just found is based on the arrangement of the White Tiger in the first constellation, Kuimu Lang, and the Fire Monkey in the sixth constellation. From this,
It can be inferred that there are other stalagmites corresponding to Wusu around us. Fortunately, we did not destroy this maze, otherwise Kuimulang, Angri Chicken,
The three evil stars, the Fire Monkey, will activate, and the confusing array will turn into a killing array."
Shen Yuan said one thing after another, and I couldn't figure out whether it was true or false. I could only point to the top of my head and said: "Okay, okay, you are the master, you are the best, whatever you say is whatever it is, okay."
Well, now I just want to know what to do next, how to get out of this maze, the handle of the bucket is about to point due west, and it may only take a few minutes."
"Simple!"
Shen Yuan said confidently: "Kui Mulang belongs to wood, and Fire Monkey belongs to fire. We only need to restrain these two evil stars."
"Grandpa Shen, didn't you just say that there are three evil stars?"
Wu Zijin quickly reminded: "There is another chicken."
Shen Yuan said: "Angri Chicken, as long as Kui Mulang and Fire Monkey are restrained, Angri Chicken will not activate."
"Okay, okay, we don't understand anyway, so you can fool us as much as you like."
I looked around and said: "I now propose that we go back first and leave this maze. Old Shen will come to decipher the maze. If he estimates wrongly, we will not be completely wiped out. We can still come back if we retain our strength."
How about saving him?"
"Brother Ye Zi, are you scared?" Shale asked.
"Are you afraid?"
I shouted to Shale: "This is reason, this strategy, this wisdom."
Shen Yuan looked at the top of his head, pinched the beard at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Boss Ye, there is no time. It will take at least an hour, or even more, to go back. Point the bucket handle to the direction of due west. No,
It will take more than five minutes.”
"So what."
I said angrily: "Then wait until the handle of the next round points to the west. At worst, you will wait another day and waste a day and your own life. Which is more important? Do you need me to teach you this?"
"
Shen Yuan pointed to a stalagmite not far away and said, "Boss Ye, can you see the pattern carved on that stalagmite?"
I didn't understand what Shen Yuan meant, but I still squinted my eyes and looked over, "I saw it, so what? I can't understand your Taoist ghost symbols."
Shen Yuan said with some embarrassment: "That pattern is the formation diagram used to break the maze. Every blessing pillar is engraved with this diagram."
"You...you, you, you..."
With a look of fear on my face, I pointed at Shen Yuan and twitched the corners of my mouth, "You mean, if the handle of the bucket points to the west, the formation will...will start!"
Shen Yuan nodded.
"Your uncle's!"
I kicked Shen Yuan, but he easily avoided it. I staggered, and it took me a long time to regain my footing, and roared: "You are sick, you are so unreliable, why don't you have any
Are you self-aware? What if something goes wrong, ah!"
Shen Yuan turned around and looked at me with a smile, "Don't worry!"
"Go easy on your uncle!" I gave Shen Yuan a big middle finger in return.
