Chapter 56 Snake and Gouchen
After everyone understood the patterns on the twelve doors, the scene fell into embarrassment again.
I actually don't want to admit it very much, but that's the case. After everyone said the patterns they saw, we not only did not gain anything, but instead remained silent and confused.
Everyone communicated with each other with their eyes. Although they did not speak, they could clearly see each other's thoughts from their eyes.
What are these things that are unrelated?
We really have to admit that everything in Tongtian Palace is really too weird.
I originally thought that after figuring out the pattern distribution on these twelve doors, we will have a better understanding of this overall, thus helping us further explore the secrets in Tongtian Palace.
But the results we get now are not what I imagined, but instead make us almost crazy.
After we communicated with each other's discovery, we found that the patterns on the twelve doors were illogical. Men, women, young and old, birds and beasts could really be said to be unable to find the connection between them at all.
The only thing we can determine now is the four-symbol beast. Apart from that, we are not even sure about the pattern itself, so how can we explore the next step?
Since the Tongtian Palace followed the Taoist concept of unity between man and nature, we can naturally understand that the patterns of the four-simile beasts appear here to guard the four directions.
But what about other patterns?
A huge giant snake, a graceful and luxurious woman, a heroic and powerful official, and a girl with ethereal eyes.
The legendary divine beast Qilin, an unknown god, a man who looks extremely noble and a hazy thing that cannot see clearly.
What are these things?
Now we only know the general outline of this pattern, and even the real meaning of this pattern is not clear, how could we discover it?
I couldn't help but start to doubt my guess just now, is there really any connection between these patterns?
I quietly looked at our Chunting Pavilion. After finding that we were almost crazy, I finally couldn't help but speak and give us the next tips.
"Everyone knows the four spirit beasts, such as the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the black womb. I believe I don't need to introduce them too much."
He gently took the Four Elephant Beast as he spoke, and then seriously told us the last pattern he discovered.
"In the south I was exploring, except for the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, the third pattern found was a giant snake. The snake's body was huge and incomplete, with cloud patterns engraved below, and it seemed to be flying into the distance by flying clouds and fog."
Due to previous experiences, we actually unconsciously rely on Chunting, because no matter what happens, Chunting is always calm and calmly guides us in the right direction.
So after hearing his serious and calm voice, we began to calm down out of trust in him, and our restlessness eased.
After he said the description of the giant snake from his mouth, I vaguely seemed to have some understanding.
A huge, incomplete and flying snake, is it...
Before I could tell Chunting to confirm his guess, Ling Xuan, who was beside him, took the lead. He looked at Chunting with excited eyes, his tone full of excitement.
"Brother Ting, is it that the third pattern you found is Tengshe?"
When I heard Ling Xuan’s guess, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart. Ling Xuan is indeed a knowledgeable and talented person. I thought my reaction was fast enough, but I didn’t expect that he was still one step faster than me.
Ling Xuan's guess coincided with me. After hearing Chunting's description, the first thought that appeared in my mind was Tengshe.
Tengsnake, also known as Flying Snake, has been recorded in the Mountains and Seas, saying that it is a divine beast that can fly over clouds and fog, and it is also one of the stars in ancient times.
After introducing his discovery, Chunting stopped making a sound. He nodded with satisfaction until he heard Ling Xuan's guess.
From the appearance of Chunting, it is not difficult to see that Ling Xuan’s guess is correct. The third pattern found in Chunting is indeed the legendary Tengshou flying without feet.
After knowing that the pattern of the giant snake was the Tengshou, the awkward atmosphere beside us finally eased.
Although we only got a little clue and didn't know what other patterns were, everything was difficult at the beginning. Since we have made a breakthrough, it was only a matter of time before other patterns were found.
Just as we were thinking about the connection between Tengshe and here, Qi Zhi looked at Ling Xuan and asked cutely with her head tilted.
"Brother Ling Xuan, what is a Tengshe? Is it a snake?"
"The Tengsnake, also known as the flying snake, is not an ordinary snake. Xunzi once wrote in his encouraging learning that the Tengsnake flies without feet, and the flying squirrel is exhausted by the five skills."
Ling Xuan was in a good mood after getting clues about Tengshe. He watched Qi Zhi explain her pamperingly.
"Among the rumors, Tengshe is even more famous. It is a divine beast alongside Gou Chen, ranks below the four symbols. It is one of the eight gods in the strange sect called by Taoism, and is also among the six ancient gods."
As soon as Ling Xuan finished speaking, I suddenly shouted excitedly. After hearing his explanation to Qi Zhi, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind and finally figured out some of the connections in the pattern.
"Gou Chen, it's Gou Chen!"
After Chunting said that the pattern he discovered was a Tengshe, we thought about it all around the Tengshe angle for a while. It was not until Ling Xuan inadvertently introduced Qi Zhi in detail that I could understand it from another perspective.
Since the pattern of Tengsnake has appeared here, as a divine beast parallel to Tengsnake, the appearance of the Gouchen pattern is naturally logical and there is nothing unacceptable.
What's more, Yihe said just now that during his exploration in the east, he found a pattern that looked like a kirin on the pitch-black door.
Since the pattern of Tengser has appeared here, after inference, we can confirm that the pattern found in the east must not be the Qilin, but the legendary Gou Chen.
The reason is nothing else, just because there have been records in ancient books.
The image of Gou Chen is real name Qilin, and is in the center. It is the day of Wu. It is a benevolent beast and is governed by virtue of earth.
As the name suggests, Gou Chen looks like a Qilin and ranks among the world. Because of his benevolence, he governs the world with his local virtue.
Since Gou Chen looks like a kirin, why can't Yihe discover the legendary Gou Chen?
But what I care about now is not these, but another legend.
The six are the six gods that are respected by Taoism!
