Silkworm armor

Different from the previous ones who were afraid of hands and feet, the four guardians retracted the rope quickly.They obviously felt the weight of the rope was different, but with the four of them working together, it would be easy to bear a few more hundred miles of sound.Without thinking too much, they pulled Baili Miyin up in one go.

As soon as Hu Wan saw the copper owl in Baili Miyin's hand, Hu Wan immediately thought of the stone owl statue in the bedroom of the elders of the Sanshen clan in Minnow Mountain.The two owls look like they have come out, the difference is that one is carved in stone and the other is built in copper.Hu Wan clearly remembered that Baili Miyin once mentioned to her the record about the statue of the stone owl in the "Baili Clan Annals", that the road is hollow, and there are two golden elixir volumes stored there.However, the stone owl looks simple, but it is a precise and small mechanism. To obtain the golden elixir volume, it is necessary to decipher the extremely complicated mechanism, which is by no means an easy task.Hu Wan thought, if the statue of the stone owl is used to store the golden elixir, would there be a priceless treasure hidden in the statue of the copper owl?

As soon as Baili Miyin put down the copper owl, Bian Sanglan couldn't wait to ask: "What is this?"

"As you can see." Baili Miyin said quietly.The moment she put down the copper owl, she suddenly remembered the reason why she found it familiar. She looked at Hu Wan, and the two communicated silently with their eyes.

"..." Bian Sanglan looked at it carefully, but couldn't see any clues.She actually wanted to know what the utensils in front of her were used for and why they were hidden so secretly.But if you can't see a piece of bronze, if it has no other use, but it is hidden here, it is really hard to be convincing.Asking Baili Miyin was also a useless question, Bian Sanglan thought she was not much smarter than herself, so she turned to Hu Wan and said, "Doctor Hu, what's your opinion?"

"During the period of war in the Yin and Shang dynasties, the owl was known as the bird of the god of war because of its nature of staying at night and coming out at night, its stamina of hiding and stealth, and its ability to win with one blow. It was widely worshiped by soldiers and believed that it could protect the army from defeat The enemy is invincible. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, the owl is an ominous bird. As the saying goes, a night owl enters the house and comes for nothing. It is rumored that the owl has a keen sense of smell and can smell the smell of the dying person, so it is regarded as A symbol of doom and death." Hu Wan talked eloquently.

Bian Sanglan didn't understand why after listening to it.She raised her eyebrows, waited for a while, but did not see any more from Hu Wan, she sighed helplessly, and said, "That's all?"

"Forgive my ignorance, this is my opinion. No matter what it is, good or bad or good or bad is unpredictable." Hu Wan's true thoughts cannot be compared with Bian Sanglan.

"It's just such a broken copper vessel..." Bian Sanglan suddenly fell silent after saying this.She thought of the silkworm armor, which was even more inconspicuous compared to the copper owl, it was just a tortoise shell, but it was a rare treasure for her, but it was a murder weapon for those who did not understand witchcraft.Thinking about it this way, she deeply felt that what Hu Wan said was true insight.

While Hu Wan and Bian Sanglan were talking, Baili Miyin dived into another well.The first time she was born and the second time she was acquainted, she cooperated with the four guardians more and more tacitly, and in a short while, she fished a wooden box from the bottom of the well.She put the wooden boxes next to the copper owl, stared at them like trophies, and fell into deep thought.

When Bian Sanglan saw the wooden box carved with Xielong patterns, she just wanted to open it to see if there was a silkworm armor inside, but Baili Miyin stood up and stopped her.

"What are you doing?" Bian Sanglan asked puzzled.

"The silkworm armor is yours, and the other things are mine."

"Small, I just check to see if there is a silkworm armor inside, and I won't snatch things from you. Besides, I don't even look down on such broken copper, rotten iron and rotten wood. Do you think my Tiancan village is a den of beggars? ?" Bian Sanglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Your silkworm armor is not inside." Baili Miyin said firmly.

"How do you know?" Bian Sanglan blinked, and took it for granted, "Have you opened it and read it?"

Baili Miyin didn't disagree, but instead asked: "Do you know the five directions of the stems and branches?"

Bian Sanglan was a little dazed after Baili Miyin asked such a question, thought for a while, and said, "Dongmu, Xijin, Nanhuo, Beishui, Zhongtu."

"I took the wooden box from the East Well, and the copper owl from the West Well, and the celestial silkworm Jia is from the water genus. Naturally, it is in the North Well, so how could it be in the wooden box?"

Bian Sanglan instantly understood what Baili Miyin meant. It turned out that the objects at the bottom of the well were arranged according to the five directions of heavenly stems.However, she disagreed with Baili Miyin's classification of the silkworm armor as water, and corrected her: "The turtle shell is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, and it looks like the hexagram Lizhongxu, which is the image of strong outside and dry in the middle. Jia belongs to fire, so it should be in Nanjing."

"The silkworm shell is the turtle shell, the color is black, the black is water, and the turtle is also a water thing. How can the five elements belong to fire? Let's talk about the four ancient beasts, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Xuanwu in mythology is just The tortoise-and-snake-shaped spiritual creature, in terms of Feng Shui layout, Xuanwu resides in the North Sea, northbound belongs to water, Suitian silkworm armor belongs to water."

"My silkworm shell is not an ordinary tortoise shell, so it cannot be regarded as the same."

Baili Miyin snorted coldly, he didn't want to argue any more, instead of wasting this time, it's better to go straight down to the northern well to fetch things.Whether the five elements of the silkworm armor belong to water or fire, it will be decided at that time.

Hu Wan, who knew nothing about the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, seldom heard Baili Miyin say a lot, but it was like listening to a heavenly book, half understanding.She didn't understand how to pay attention to Feng Shui when hiding things, why they had to be mysterious, what would happen if they were placed randomly without following the heavenly stems and five elements.Seeing Baili Miyin set off to go down the well, Hu Wan had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being.

While Baili Miyin was fetching something, Bian Sanglan couldn't help being curious, and squatted down to open the wooden box on the ground.

"Master Bian..." Seeing this, Hu Wan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Bian Sanglan, but she was a step too late.

Bian Sanglan raised her head and gave Huwan a playful smile, and said, "I really just look at it."

The wooden box has already been opened, hearing what Bian Sanglan said, Hu Wan is inconvenient to say any more.

There was a piece of animal skin inside the wooden box, Bian Sanglan picked it up lightly, and a scroll of silk books fell out of it.Hu Wan inadvertently saw the eloquent funeral inscriptions on the silk scroll, and couldn't help but squat down, and quietly looked at the silk scroll lying in the box with Bian Sanglan, both of them were a little nervous for a while.They are well aware that the silk script that they took such pains to hide must contain shocking secrets.

"What is written here? It's like ghostly symbols, only ghosts can understand it." Bian Sanglan just noticed that the characters on the silk script that looked like Zhou Zhengzhen's but twisted were mysterious and weird, comparable to ancient witchcraft.Her originally inflated interest gradually slackened the moment she saw the coffin.

"This is a mortuary document, and ghosts can indeed understand it." Hu Wan laughed.She got up, not daring to stare at the coffin for a long time, otherwise she would get dizzy.After all, the funeral text is not for people to read. It seems to have an invisible force that can quietly absorb people's minds.

"You know it?" Bian Sanglan looked at Hu Wan in surprise, thinking that she was a genius who dabbled in a wide range of subjects and knew everything.

"Ayin is an extraordinary priest. She is proficient in coffin writing. I have seen her write it, but she can't read half a word. This kind of writing is too obscure."

"Baili Miyin can understand very well, she will come up in a while and ask her to decipher the characters on the silk script for us."

"If it's a secret of great importance, it's not easy for us to pry into it. If she doesn't want to tell, Master Bian won't make things difficult for her." Hu Wan thought that Baili Yimai itself was already a secret. Anything will be inconvenient and inhumane.

"Doctor Hu is joking, I can force others, but An Neng can handle Baili Miyin." Bian Sanglan stood up and said with a wry smile: "She is very obedient to you, she will tell you everything, and you will hide it with her later. I, like concealing the cause of death of the water protector."

"..." Looking at Bian Sanglan's slightly resentful eyes, Hu Wan twisted her cuffs unconsciously, a little embarrassed.She knew that Bian Sanglan still cared about this, but not only was it inconvenient for her to tell, she couldn't even make up a suitable excuse, so she had no choice but to confirm the crime of colluding with Baili Miyin to conceal it.

As Baili Miyin expected, there was indeed a heavenly silkworm armor under the northern well.She held the tortoise shell as big as a palm and looked at it carefully. The ancient witch script carved on it looked like a coffin script, but it was totally different.It is this small tortoise shell that has such high-strength magic power, which can subdue the enemy's heart when attacking, and restore vitality when defending. For wizards, it can be called a treasure.

"Celestial silkworm armor!" Bian Sanglan saw Baili Miyin walking towards her holding the silkworm armor with one hand behind his back, his eyes lit up immediately.He stared at the object in her hand, but didn't notice that she seemed a little satisfied, and probably forgot the previous dispute with Baili Miyin about the five elements of the silkworm armor.

"Remember, it belongs to water." Baili Miyin handed the Celestial Silkworm Armor to Bian Sanglan, not forgetting to emphasize.

"It doesn't matter what it belongs to, it belongs to me." Bian Sanglan was overjoyed, and her excitement was beyond words.She tossed the silkworm armor over and over and couldn't put it down.

After 16 years, the silkworm armor finally returned to its original owner. Bian Sanglan was overjoyed, thinking that her father was finally able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs, and she had also fulfilled her wish, and she was relieved immediately.

"Are you tired?" Hu Wan stroked the loose strands of hair from Baili Miyin's temples, with distress written all over her face. "Do you want to take a break?"

Baili Miyin shook his head, took Hu Wan's hand, and gently rubbed the back of Hu Wan's hand with the ball of his thumb, saying: "There is one left, I will come as soon as I go."

From the corner of the eye, the Dharma protectors were standing on the edge of the south well, holding the ropes, Baba was waiting to assist Baili Miyin.Hu Wan nodded, knowing that the protectors were also tired, so it was not good to keep them waiting.Right now there is only one ice well left, so it is better to finish things as soon as possible before resting.

Watching Baili Miyin go down the well, Hu Wan looked back at Bian Sanglan who was concentrating on Tiancanjia, feeling uneasy.If Tiancanjia is really the ancestor who guarded the tomb and hid here, and he hastily returned to Zhao without finding out his intentions, will he live up to his painstaking plan?Youdao is one wrong move, and the whole game will be lost. If the Heavenly Silkworm Armor is a crucial piece, it would be too rash to abandon it when the chess situation is uncertain.

Bian Sanglan carefully put the silkworm armor into her bosom, only to realize that Hu Wan was staring at her inexplicably, she subconsciously clutched the front of her clothes tightly, for fear that Hu Wan would covet her silkworm armor.Seeing this, Hu Wan couldn't help but put aside her hesitant thoughts for a moment.
