Chapter 81 Phoenix Spreads Wings
Di Qing's eyes widened, she looked at the dead sycamore trees, and said in disbelief: "There are such strange things?"

"These sycamores are naturally generated, but they can form such a spectacle with this stone. It's really a miracle!" Li Canghai couldn't help but admire. He thought that the person who left these poems may also have accidentally discovered After seeing this place, he may also lament that the power of heaven and earth is far beyond what human beings can do.

At the same time, Li Canghai was also secretly glad that he had seized the time. These sycamore trees grew on the top of a high mountain and had been weathered by the wind and rain. They had gradually begun to wither, and even their reflections on the ground showed deviations.

God knows when these plane trees will wither?Maybe it will be tomorrow, maybe it can persist for another few decades, but its reflection will only show greater deviations, and it will be even more difficult for future generations to crack the mystery.

"But what's so strange about this shadow?" Di Qing still couldn't figure it out. What does this have to do with the mystery of the treasure?
Li Canghai calmed down, and said: "The phoenix is ​​formed by the shadow of the phoenix tree, and it falls on the high hill. This is the place where the 'falling phoenix' is. I have always been unable to figure out that 'the phoenix is ​​feathered and ordered to grow'." , the meaning of these two sentences, until I saw this bird shadow and combined with two rubbings of the word '鳯', I finally understood what was going on."

Di Qing's eyes lit up, and she hastily asked expectantly, "Tell me, what's going on?" This problem has troubled her for a few days, and if she doesn't solve it, she might go crazy.

"The most important line in these poems is '翙翙吉雀', but to really understand the deep meaning, you need these two things." Li Canghai took out two rubbings of the word '鳯' from his arms and put them on the The ground overlapped, leaving only one radical.

"It says that the 'snake' has gone to the bird and left its wings, and what we have just seen just confirmed the deep meaning. The meaning is obvious, that is, all the keys are on the wings." Li Canghai put his fingers on the radicals With a swipe, his fingers pressed heavily on the radicals.

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, she finally understood the literal meaning, in fact it was not that complicated at all, it was purely a play on words.

If the character '鳯' is regarded as a bird, then the peripheral radicals are the two wings of the bird.Coupled with the addition of '翙翙qiyu', it means to flap the wings, and its meaning is self-evident.

She looked a little unbelievable. "It's that simple?"

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "The simpler it is, the more confusing it will be. No one will believe that the treasure map is so simple, so naturally no one will take it literally." With a look of admiration, he continued: "It is because we have encountered many accidents that we have been able to solve this step. Otherwise, even if I were given another month, I would not be able to solve the key."

Li Canghai secretly sighed in his heart, the person who left behind the treasure map is well versed in the weakness of human nature.Whether it is a treasure map with the word "鳯" or a proverb in a poem, in fact, the deep meaning is the same, and they are all to illustrate the same result.

The two seem to have the same result, but they complement each other. Without any kind of evidence, people will fall into confusion.

"But what do these two wings mean? Could it be that the treasure is hidden in the place where the chicken wings are roasted?" Di Qing had a flash of inspiration and said playfully.

Li Canghai smiled. He climbed to the highest point of Cuiyun Peak and looked around.

The Mangshan Mountains stretch continuously, and belong to the 'Huilongmai' among the nine dragon veins in Fengshui.

Its momentum rises from the Yellow River and goes back around Luoyang, forming a trend of embracing Luoyang.

"Huilongmai" has the image of reciprocating and endless life, so Luoyang has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and Mangshan is a strategic military location.

Li Canghai didn't know much about Fengshui, but fortunately, the original owner of his body was a nerd who had studied a lot, and had a bit of research on Fengshui.

To the south of Luoyang City, there is a large sparkling river. The river flows from west to east, bypasses Luoyang City, and flows between two mountains, just like a natural gate.

Looking at the river from a distance, he found that the mountains on both sides of the river just showed the posture of "phoenix spreading its wings", and the intersection point of the arms of the wings was the mountain the river passed by.

Li Canghai was not familiar with Luoyang, so he asked Di Qing beside him, "Qing'er, where is that?"

Di Qing was born in Luoyang and was quite familiar with the surrounding area. She looked in the direction of Li Canghai's finger and said, "That river is Yichuan, and on both sides of Yichuan are Xiangshan and Longmenshan."

"Longmen has no ink for thousands of years, and Yishui has no strings for an ancient qin." Li Canghai recited a few times in a low voice, as if he had figured out the puzzle, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The treasure is originally hidden under the Longmen Mountain .”

Di Qing looked at him in puzzlement, and asked in amazement, "How do you know it's at the foot of Longmen Mountain?"

"The mountains on both sides of Yichuan are exactly the scene of 'Phoenix Spreading Wings'. You should still remember the shadow of Cai Cai just now. The two wings are raised and lowered in the shape of an embrace, and the pattern of 'Phoenix Spreading Wings' fits perfectly with Cai Cai's shadow just now. The intersection point It is Longmen Mountain." Li Canghai pointed to two mountains in the distance and explained to her.

Di Qing nodded with half understanding, squinted her eyes, and said excitedly: "In that case, let's hurry up and find the treasure!"

Although Li Canghai solved the mystery of the treasure, he didn't feel happy at all, instead he frowned.

Seeing his strange expression, Di Qing hurriedly asked him what happened and why his face was so ugly.

Li Canghai pointed to the Luofengji at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and said worriedly: "Qing'er, do you still remember that we once fell into a maze?"

"Of course I remember." Di Qing didn't understand why he suddenly asked this.

"If my guess is correct, the maze is the entrance to the treasure, and the so-called treasure is actually the 'Underworld' we have entered before." Li Canghai said after a moment of silence.

Di Qing's face suddenly turned pale, and when she thought of what she saw in the 'Netherlands', a chill ran down her back.

"How...how is this possible? Longmen Mountain is tens of miles away from Luofengji, so how can there be any relationship between them?" Di Qing asked trembling slightly.

Li Canghai shook his head, "Actually, we have been ignoring a problem. How can there be a strange dunjia in the suburbs of Luofengji? This is obviously trying to cover up something. Unfortunately, I have been focusing on solving the puzzle before, but I ignored it. This is the most unusual doubt."

"However, if the maze is really the entrance to the treasure, aren't those clues meaningless?" Di Qing couldn't figure it out. Since the maze is the entrance to the treasure, why there is no treasure map left behind, nor any poems and proverbs mentioned. Instead, they took them around such a big circle.

Looking at Longmen Mountain in the distance, Li Canghai murmured, "I'm afraid this is the brilliance of it. The Qimen Dunjia Maze is far away from Longmen Mountain. Since we know that the treasure is likely to be at the foot of Longmen Mountain, treasure hunters should They will naturally think that the entrance is at Longmen Mountain, and they will not doubt the maze that is dozens of miles away. "Speeding east and hitting west", this is indeed a very clever way to deceive the eyes."

Di Qing understood what he said, but she was still a little worried: "Longmen Mountain is tens of miles away from the maze, how can you be sure that there is really an entrance? If you guess wrong, wouldn't you be trapped like last time?" ?”

Li Canghai thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Qing'er, do you still remember that we walked from the labyrinth for a long time before arriving at the Netherworld Palace? Although Longmen Mountain and the ground of the labyrinth are far apart from the ground, the underground is probably not the same. So, maybe it's because there is a shortcut between the two?"

Holding Di Qing's hand in his hand and rubbing it for her, Li Canghai said: "This matter is too unbelievable. These are all my speculations, but we have no time to think about the feasibility. Only by entering the 'Underworld Realm' once can we know whether it is really as I guessed."

Di Qing felt the warmth from Li Canghai's hands, and her flustered heart quickly calmed down.

"Really... Do you want to enter that ghostly place again?" Di Qing glanced at her lips, the thought of being afraid of ghosts had not disappeared.

"The matter has come to this, I have no choice." Li Canghai rubbed her hand, and said softly, "Qing'er, I want to go alone this time, the good news is that you are waiting for me at Luofengji."
