Seven Evil Slips Chapter 13:

——What if one day, the Phoenix Luan buckle is opened again?

——Don't worry, in this world, no one can open the Phoenix Luan buckle.

Looking at it now, this list of five-person names really seems to be a settling account to Lao Tzu as he said.

The **** stick murmured: "The great sage sometimes says something wrong."

Cao Yanhua couldn't figure it out: "At the beginning, since I was able to seal the seven evil slips, why didn't I just destroy them? Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, it's too troublesome for generations."

Luo Ren said: "If you can think of this, I must be able to think of it too - sealing it but not destroying it can only explain one thing."

Yan Hongsha turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

It was Kiyo who answered, she kept looking at the names of the people, her eyes were shining silver, and said, "He probably won't be destroyed."

There was a moment of silence, only Cao Jiefang was extremely jubilant, fluttering its little wings, flying high and low, pecking at the bright words on the fog with its chicken beak, every time it pecked empty—it didn't understand that it was just a projection and had no substance, and its small eyes were full It is a perplexity that cannot be pecked at.

The projected light characters gradually faded and blurred, as if they were about to melt into the fog in the next moment, and the starlight shot from Ziguan four archways also slowly extinguished, Luo Ren was the first to come back to his senses: "Go to the archway Let's take a look there."

When I walked over, I heard Cao Yanhua talking from behind: "Little master, don't you think that these names make people's hearts go crazy?"

Yan Hongsha wondered: "Why?"

Luo Ren smiled, Hongsha, as always, doesn't like to use her brain. Every time she discusses something, her eyes are always wide open. Most of her lines are "why", "tell me quickly", "tell me ah".

Cao Yanhua muttered: "It's a bit like offering sacrifices to the dead. Wouldn't the names be listed like this on the tombstone?"

Yan Hongsha spat at him: "Aren't they just dead people? The last round of subduing the murderous Jane was in the Ming Dynasty. It would be scary if they survived until now."

Cao Yanhua was not convinced: "There are two kinds of death, one is the end of life, and the other is premature death... Hey, little master, the ancestor of our master, that Plum Blossom Zhao, Grand Master mentioned that he is How did you die?"

There was no answer, a strange silence struck, Luo Ren stopped and turned to look at her.

Kiyo frowned, as if he was trying to remember something, he paused and spoke very uncertainly.

"My master didn't mention it explicitly, but I remember that once during a practice, the master lamented that many of the martial art's moves were created by the patriarch himself, but he couldn't figure it out to the extreme - as long as the patriarch can live longer , even if it is the life of a middle-aged man, maybe the effect of the moves will be very different."

Cao Yanhua said in his heart: That means he died early, what the grand master said was too euphemistic. Subduing the fierce Jane, dare not boast about how great it is, after all, it is selfless dedication, how can a good person not be rewarded?

This matter involves the teacher's family, the words turned around in his throat and swallowed back, not daring to see the light of day.

Luo Ren's heart sank for no reason.

——Pailou, first seen in the Zhou Dynasty, was originally used as a memorial of filial piety, and it is often found in gardens, temples, palaces, mausoleums, and streets.

Jingbiao and mausoleum are not words that can make people feel happy.

***

The starbursts at the Guansi Pailou disappeared, the projected light characters disappeared, and the wind did not know when it stopped, and the mist dispersed, and it became a mist-covered valley again.

The box has changed from tilted to positive. If you look carefully, the original position is suspended in the center of the vitreous body, but now it is close to the edge.

Yan Hongsha took a deep breath: "Will this box pop out with a 'poof' after a while?"

Thirteen subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, this is solid."

To tell the truth, he still hasn't given up chiseling a "diamond" in his heart to go back to Xiao Jiujiu. He has never considered that if such a large piece is really a diamond, given the hardness of the diamond, there is no tool to chisel it at all.

After speaking, as if for proof, he reached out to tap the glass surface, his face changed when he touched his hand, and he shouted: "It's soft!"

Not only is it soft, but the touch has also changed from cold to lukewarm, as if it is gradually heating up.

Luo Ren squatted down and reminded everyone to look at the bottom of the four archways.

The surface of the yin-yang Pisces Tai Chi plate is filled with water, not only that, but there are tiny bubbles emerging from the bottom of the plate and cracking, which means the water is gradually boiling.

What's even more strange is that water is supposed to be flowing, unbounded, and seamless, but in this plate, it can be clearly seen that there is an S-shaped curve that separates the water on the surface of the plate, and the thrust on both sides As if competing with each other, the two Pisces biting each other slowly started to swim, with swirling fish eyes appearing on their heads.

The thrust and confrontation became more and more intense, and sharp sawtooth appeared on the S-shaped curve, like the force from one side quickly biting into the other side, and it was also like a battle formation in an ancient battlefield. Fighting, and then to a large-scale charge.

No one paid attention to the box, and they all held their breath to watch the changes in the water potential in the Tai Chi plate. If this comparison continues, what will be the final result?

Just when the water had no boundaries and boiled all over, there was a crisp sound, like glass shattering, and it was Kiyo who was facing her. Just pour.

The box was actually pushed out from the vitreous body, with great force, it pressed against her hair, and with a muffled sound, it landed about ten meters behind her.

The flashlight shined on it, and the box was dark, solid, silent, and without a padlock, but it made everyone suffocate.

The magic stick inadvertently withdrew his eyes and exclaimed: "This, this..."

How to describe it, the vitreous body is completely distorted and mutated, and there is a line that shoots out in the center, which is exactly what the box looked like when it came out.

Seven pieces of wood made by Luban are half exposed outside the glass body. When you push them with your hand, they seem to be able to move.

Guan Si Pailou has no lock shape at all, but it is the most unimaginable and fully in line with the principle of locks in this world... a safe.

In the character "Suo" in seal script, the left half is "gold" (釒), the right half is the upper and lower structure, the upper part is "water" (water), and the lower part is the traditional "贝" (贝). Use water to hide valuable treasures.

The Guansi Pailou was built at the bottom of the river where the flow is cut off in the middle of the night, but the river is gurgling during the day. This kind of glass body is like gold when it is frozen, and like water when it is opened. It is simply a naturally formed, knowing and pictorial "lock". .

***

One end of the small string was tied to a nail on the ground, and the other end was tied to Cao Jiefang's leg, allowing him to "limited freedom of movement" outside.

The partition between the inside and outside of the tent was put down, and the flashlight was hung on the center and the four walls. The outside is almost closed, and the river, fog, and Guansi archway are instantly isolated.

In the center of the sitting area is the dark box.

Cao Yanhua was a little uncomfortable, the black box always reminded him of the thing that the rescuers looked for immediately after the plane crash - this night, too many signs would arouse people's ominous associations about death.

The **** stick rubbed his hands together, reached out to open the cover, halfway through it seemed to think of something, and retracted again.

Kiyo said: "I'll come."

Going to the bottom of Yunling, Guansi Pailou, the wooden key was given to her, and the secret was told to her by her master Meihua Jiuniang, and the leader who subdued the fierce Jane in the last round was also from her teacher's school Patriarch.

It should be her.

She rolled up the left and right sleeves to the elbow, took a long breath, stretched out her hand, her fingers paused for a while beside the lid, and slowly opened it.

Except for Luo Ren, everyone's body leaned back consciously or unconsciously: who knows what will come out of it? Toxic fog? A hidden weapon like a rainstorm pear blossom needle? Or explode with a bang?

In fact, the tent is narrow and small, and if it really hits the above guess, no one can escape.

Fortunately, it's calm.

Kiyo snorted, "So shallow?"

I measured it with a tape measure before, and the height of the wooden box is about 30cm, but once the lid is opened, the depth is no more than 5cm.

There is a 100% interlayer underneath.

In the box, there is a piece of wood, densely packed, with words and paintings, and the layout is divided into small grids, each grid is about one square centimeter, and there is a space in the lower right corner, so that the writing boards can be removed one by one. .

It's a bit like a nine-square puzzle played by children, but this version has more grids. After the woodblock was taken out, two concave squares about one square centimeter appeared on the smooth bottom of the box, and the concave patterns were all kite patterns.

Written by Lu Ban again?

With a move in the mind of the **** stick, he cut out a block or two from the blank space of the wood block-it didn't take much effort, each frame of the block is movable, and the back is full of pictures of kites, but look carefully , are not the same, some kites raise their heads, some lower their heads, reminiscent of the stone lions on the Marco Polo Bridge, they look the same, but they are not the same.

Excited: "I see, this is like a piece of movable type, each piece can be disassembled, and there is a picture of a kite on the bottom, you have to choose two of them and press them into the recessed squares—press After entering, the interlayer may appear. That is to say, there are still organs in this box."

Thirteen frowned, thinking that this Lu Ban was a bit too ostentatious: Yes, knowing that you are smart, can you keep a low profile? Silver-eyed bats and Guansi Pailou are so mysterious, even a wooden box must be equipped with a set of mechanisms, as for it?

Luo Ren suddenly thought of something: "The type plate of this movable type is a bit like movable type printing. But I remember that movable type printing seems to be invented by Bi Sheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, right? This is the same as Lu Ban's era. It’s nearly a thousand years away.”

Cao Yanhua snorted: "Brother Luo, Lu Ban, don't you know him? It's a typical closed door eating alone. He made a wooden kite that can fly into the sky. Who do you see him passing on his technology to?" He might have invented the movable type woodblock first, but he just kept silent, so that after so many years, Bi Sheng invented it—if he had a bit of sharing spirit, the technological level of the Chinese nation would have advanced by leaps and bounds. A man who landed on the moon will never be able to get to the United States.”

I really can't see that Cao Yanhua's crystal glass heart still has a hot patriotic heart.

It makes sense, Luo Ren smiled wryly, and reminded the stick: "Look at the wooden board, what is said."

Shen stick hummed, took out a folding magnifying glass from the cloth bag he was carrying, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the wooden board. After looking at it for a while, his face became more and more strange, and he said: Little radish, get a pen and paper, we have to draw."

Maybe it's hard to understand, the departure was hasty, and there was no paper prepared, Luo Ren dug out the spare tent cloth from the backpack, asked everyone to help unfold it, and threw two fluorescent markers on it.

Shen stick turned a deaf ear to everything in front of him, frowning all the time looking at the woodblock, and then looked up at the top of the tent, looking hard thinking.

A woodblock page is not long, so I read it quickly. After reading it, I passed it to Yan Hongsha. A yin and yang Taiji diagram, and passed the woodblock to Kiyo next to him, and said to the **** stick, "tell me about it."

The characters are too small, and Kiyo was a little dizzy when reading it. Cao Yanhua came over to read it together, and muttered to the side: "I'll go, what the **** is this, what is this old man talking about, why do people look like cakes?" of..."

When it was passed to Shisan, he didn't even bother to look at it, so he handed it to Luo Ren directly. Anyway, if someone reads it, they will share it, which saves time and is more efficient.

Luo Ren held it in his hand and didn't hand it back to the magic stick: "Tell me, I'll watch when you talk."

The magic stick grabbed a marker pen in his hand and lifted the cover, as if considering how to start the topic.

"On this wooden board, there is a picture of yin and yang, double fish and Taiji. It is said in history that the picture of Taiji was drawn by Chen Tuan, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty. However, because this picture is very simple, we do not rule out that someone drew it before Chen Tuan. Passed."

Louching on the tarpaulin, he drew a yin and yang Pisces, his hands were unsteady, and the outer circle was trembling, like a squashed egg.

"Tai Chi Diagram has a meaning of going round and round, and the end is connected. The whole picture is anti-rotating. Some people say that Tai Chi Diagram is a macroscopic thinking mode of the universe, reflecting the laws of celestial bodies and the development of everything, covering space and time. In short, it can be applied to anything.”

Yan Hongsha wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to say something serious like a stick figure: just that picture that looks like a stick figure, can it cover everything?

The magic stick stared at the picture: "The words on the wooden board are said to be written by Lao Tzu. He talked about people, and he said that people are Tai Chi."

Luo Ren laughed, I understand, no wonder Cao Yanhua said just now that "people look like cakes", this cake is the Taiji diagram, right?

"When he said this, he drew a picture and said, this is a human being."

As he spoke, the magic stick tapped the flat egg on the tarpaulin with the other end of the pen.

Cao Yanhua murmured: "I can't tell, I'm still an abstract artist—this man is too abstract."

Luo Ren looked at the picture for a long time, nodded and said: "It is indeed a human."

Shen stick couldn't help but rejoice: "It's rare to have an educated person who communicates so smoothly. I knew it was too painful to talk to uneducated people."

When he said that, he ravaged everyone except Luo Ren with contemptuous eyes.

Luo Ren explained: "I have heard a saying before, Tai Chi, refers to the initial form of yin and yang in the development stage of the universe that has not yet been differentiated."

"Using a comparison with a human being, when a human being is not born, being wrapped in amniotic fluid is indeed a state of ignorance and chaos."

"The Taiji diagram is connected head to tail, carrying yin and embracing yang, and a husband and wife match each other. The meaning of yin and yang is this, and people are born in this way."

Shen stick let out a sigh of relief, Luo Ren's explanation is indeed a bit more concise.

He took the conversation and continued.

"Lao Tzu then said, everyone, anyone, when they are first born, are... as if produced on a production line. The appearance is different, but it does not affect the essence. The essence is exactly the same."

Cao Yanhua was surprised: "At that time, I knew about the production line?"

The magic stick was interrupted suddenly, and he was angry: "This is a metaphor, I used a euphemistic metaphor, let me use a vivid analogy! Don't talk if you don't understand!"

Cao Yanhua resentful, Kishiro crossed his legs, rested his cheeks on his hands, and frowned: "But my master told me that the nature of people is different, some people are kind, some people are evil , Just like me and the cheetah, is my essence the same as hers?"

The magic stick slapped on the thigh: "This question is very good, and this is the key to the problem, Xiao Pocket, although you have no culture, you can often play a role in linking the past with the next. It is simply a piece of wisdom." bricks.”

Kiyo rolled his eyes, wanting to hit him on the head with a brick.

The magic stick shows the hole card: "Lao Tzu said in the woodblock that the essence of human beings is the human heart."

Yan Hongsha was the first to object: "I agree with this statement, but the essence is exactly the same. How is this possible? Could it be that Kiyo's heart and Cheetah's heart are the same?"

God stick nodded: "Same, exactly the same, exactly the same. I mean, the bottom of the heart is exactly the same."

He pointed to the crooked picture of Tai Chi: "I believe that the human heart is like a Tai Chi Pisces, with good and evil thoughts lurking in the heart, and they are all like innate genes, even in equal numbers, half and half. However, They are all ignorant and unopened."

"To put it another way, when a newborn is born, there is no inherent goodness, and it is simply ignorance. But slowly..."

Speaking of which, he took a special look at Yan Hongsha: "Slowly, each will be activated."

A spark flashed in Yan Hongsha's mind, as if he had thought of something, but couldn't grasp it for a while.

13,000 came up with a sentence: "The word activation is quite vivid."

The magic stick continued: "It's hard to say the degree of activation. Which side is more activated depends on each person's physique, family, osmosis, education level, moral level, awe, etc. - even if Even the kindest person has evil thoughts in his heart, and the most heinous person may not completely lose his humanity. The final appearance depends on whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind."

Luo Ren nodded: "If someone is kidnapped, someone will save someone. If someone commits a crime, someone will be arrested. If someone destroys, someone will build it. In front of the oil company, there are demonstrations by environmentalists all the year round. Those who are crazy about fur, and those who make profits , to wear, and to protect animals. But things can’t be killed with a single shot, wicked people can become Buddhas instantly, and good people can make a difference in one thought.”

After speaking, he chuckled softly: "Sometimes when I think about it, this world is really wonderful and ridiculous."

Kiyo hesitated and said: "So, the evil Jane is..."

Luo Ren looked down at the wooden board in his hand: "The last sentence is that the mechanism on this floor is Jianyan, and Jianyan is the key to the seven-star killing bureau."

Yan Hongsha looked at the two grooves at the bottom of the box in a daze: "Jianyan...the sixth one doesn't have Jianyan, but the other five have..."

She counted on her fingers: "Knife, water, hanging, mouth, soil, five."

Luo Ren shook his head: "No, if I'm not wrong, these short words in the early stage are just appearances. After the sixth evil letter is subdued, all the short words are hidden-maybe it is for the core Give way in short."

"What's that?"

13,000 took the wooden block in Luo Ren's hand, took a picture with a clear layout with his mobile phone, and then vacated a space around his body, removed the blocks of the movable type one by one, arranged them neatly as they were, and then started from the middle Picked up two.

People's hearts.

There is a lot of turmoil, life and death, swordsmanship, verbal criticism, all appearances are tools, and what is hidden behind to fuel the flames is always the word human heart.
