Fatty Wang felt his consciousness drifting back as if someone was still talking in his ears. However, the voice was very unclear and echoed in his head in a muffled voice, giving him a prickling feeling. He tried hard to open his eyes and catch his breath, but his stomach, which was filled with cold water, was very uncomfortable. Suddenly, his stomach tightened and water surged up. Fatty instinctively opened his mouth and vomited.
" Spit it out again. It'll be fine after you spit it out." A familiar voice sounded. Someone patted his back. Fatty looked up and saw that it was Old Hu.
" Oh, Old Hu, now that his mother has seen you, he has a companion to die with," Fatty said gratefully as he spat out water.
" Don't you want to see me?" Another person walked over with a few military bags in his hand. It was Sun Weimin.
Fatty was a little stunned when he saw this. He shook his head and observed the situation around him. As he looked, he asked in confusion," What's going on? Why are we at the bridge?”Fatty realized that the three of them had already reached the other side of the bridge and did not seem to have gone to the underworld to report.
Old Hu shook his head when he heard that." You should ask the lunatic who jumped into the river. I'm still confused. I didn't know anything after I jumped into the river. When I woke up, I was already here." After Old Hu finished speaking, he kept staring at Sun Weimin, as if he was asking him,"You brat, confess yourself."
Sun Weimin saw that Old Hu and Old Hu wanted to know the result, so he didn't hide it. He looked back at the iron chain bridge and told them the reason in detail.
It turned out that when Sun Weimin arrived at the bridge, he had been pondering the problem of the five elements of wood. However, the water monkey had confused him, so he did not rush to make a move, but went over to ask questions. When he was asked how to cross the bridge, he heard that one person had to go down the river to be a substitute. He thought of one person-Lu Ahtang.
Lu Ah-Tang was also known as the Bridge God. It was said that there was a Lu Family Bridge on the Lianqi River in Baoshan. The south side of the bridge was the Lu Family Mansion, and the north side was the Tang Family Mansion. The two surnames shared the bridge, so the two sides agreed to take turns to repair the bridge in March every year. One year, when the Lu family was building a bridge, someone unfortunately fell into the water and became a water ghost. In the third month of the second year, this water ghost dragged the Tang family's bridge repairman into the water as a substitute, allowing him to be reincarnated back to the world of the living. From then on, when the bridge was built in March every year, there would always be people who fell into the water and died. People were afraid and did not dare to repair it again, causing the bridge to become abandoned. Later on, a man named Lu Ahtang, who had married into the Lu family from the Tang family, volunteered to be a scapegoat so that everyone could repair the bridge without worry. After Lu Ahtang became a water ghost, not only did he not have the heart to drag others into the water, but he also blessed the bridge repairman under the bridge. Therefore, he was offered sacrifices and offerings by the Lu and Tang surnames. Later on, anyone who passed by the bridge had to bow at the bridgehead to show their respect to Lu Ahtang before crossing the bridge. Every year, when the bridge was being built in March, the incense offerings to Lu Ah-Tang would be even more prosperous. In the end, it would finally alarm the " land " of the Lu and Tang families. After the local god told the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor granted Lu Atang the title of Bridge God of the Land Bridge and gave him a ghost baton. From then on, Lu Jiaqiao was even safer. Even if someone fell into the water, they would not drown. After Lu Ahtang was conferred the title of Bridge God, he was dedicated to eliminating evil for the people. Sometimes, someone was driven away by a ghost, but as long as they ran to the bridge, they would be protected by the Bridge God, Lu Atang. This was the story of Lu Atang.
He thought of the Bridge God's Sun Weimin, and then he thought of the problem of the five elements of wood.'Wood is the Shaoyang, and it is benevolence to soar without stopping.' In other words, wood was benevolent. Sun Weimin knew that this time, he had to verify the benevolence of the five elements of wood in order to cross the river. In fact, when Sun Weimin called the old lady to cross the bridge, he realized that the old lady actually did not trip over the hook knife, but deliberately pretended. This meant that the old lady was not an evil person. When the old lady cried and begged, Sun Weimin knew that this was called "asking the heart". It was the Bridge God probing the human heart. At this time, people would reveal their true nature. Although they didn't show it, they couldn't hide it from the eyes of the Bridge God. If there were people who were unkind, it would be dangerous and they might lose their lives. This was how many people had sacrificed their lives to become benevolent when the Bridge God blocked the way and asked the mortal world.
Sun Weimin had no choice but to jump into the river. He was afraid that Old Hu and Fatty would be too hard-hearted and attract a 'hit', so he jumped into the river to draw out the' righteousness 'of Old Hu and Fatty. As the saying goes, benevolence and righteousness are the same. Fortunately, although Old Hu and Fatty's hearts were not very good, they still had loyalty. Seeing that Sun Weimin was in trouble, they were all loyal and jumped into the river to save him. With this, they passed the Bridge God's test, and the Bridge God saved the three of them and crossed the river. As for the problem of Fatty drinking water, he could only blame himself for not accumulating the virtue of his mouth. As the saying goes,'one is not afraid of doing wrong, but one is afraid of saying the wrong thing'. A person with a long tongue would be more detrimental to his virtue than a person who committed a crime. Therefore, the world must show mercy with their mouths. Don't learn from Fatty Wang. Look at how much trouble his stinky mouth has caused. This time, he was only punished to drink water, which was much more merciful than the last time Granny Ghost used him to practice the Iron Head Technique.
Old Hu, who understood, was delighted. He rubbed Fatty's head and began to mock him." Fatty, you're so popular. You've always caught the eye of others. Continue to work hard and strive to be a good young man who can be loved by ghosts." Old Hu's mouth was also very mean, but he used it all on Fatty.
Fatty was in a dilemma now. He was no longer in the mood to bicker with Old Hu. He just kept muttering to himself," I'll endure it. I'll save my breath. I'll endure it. I can't talk back." It seemed that he had more or less come to his senses.
Sun Weimin saw that he was almost done talking, so he patted Old Hu and said," Keep your mouth shut. There's still a big deal ahead. Let's go." After saying that, he grabbed the military bag and urged the two to hurry.
The three of them walked along the bluestone path toward the stone door. When they got closer, they realized that the two bonfires were two bronze cauldrons. They were one foot thick and one and a half meters tall. The four legs of the cauldrons were buried deep in the ground. They might be connected to the underground natural gas. Otherwise, how could they have been burning for so many years? The three of them only glanced at the cauldron a few times before walking towards the stone door. They were only interested in the thing inside the door. After all, they had been busy for a long time just for it.
Stone statues stood on both sides of the bluestone path. There were horses, elephants, lions, turtles, and a pair of civil officials and generals. Stone Statues were the stone men and stone beasts that were placed in front of the emperor's tomb. They were collectively called Stone Statues, also known as Wengzhong. It mainly showed the identity and status of the tomb owner. It also had the meaning of exorcism and guarding the tomb. After passing the stone statue was the large stone door. It was more than four meters tall and two meters wide. On the left and right sides of the door were carved green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, and black turtles. There were not a single one missing. Sun Weimin looked at it and thought, It looks like this is the Earth Gate.
The five elements emphasized on the nature of the five elements, each with its own use. Water is intelligent by nature, fire is polite by nature, wood is benevolent by nature, metal is righteous by nature, only earth is trustworthy, heavy, generous and broad, there is nothing that cannot be tolerated. If you use water, water will attach itself to it, and if you use wood, wood will support it and grow. If metal does not have earth, it will not come out of itself; If fire does not have earth, it will not return to itself. Therefore, the five elements all depend on earth. This means that earth is inclusive. Water, fire, metal, and wood cannot be separated from earth. Water could not move (flow) if it left the earth, wood could not live (live) if it left the earth, metal had no source if it left the earth (earth gave birth to metal, which was the principle of the five elements), and fire had no place to return if it left the earth (this was more abstract, meaning that there was no destination). Therefore, the five elements all originated from earth. Earth was in the middle position of the five elements, which meant that it was the symbol of royal power and also the hole of Feng Shui.
This stone door contained the four divine beasts, which included water, fire, metal, and wood. The door naturally represented earth, so the five elements were gathered. However, he didn't know how to open such a well-rounded door. Sun Weimin was a little troubled. The three of them pushed with all their might for a long time, but there was no movement, so they could only give up. Old Hu and Fatty sat to the side to rest, leaving only Sun Weimin, the 'semi-expert' to study. Sun Weimin looked up and down, but other than the Four Divine Beasts, he didn't find anything else. The lintel and the vertical stone were all bare, and there was nothing. It was really a little strange.
Sun Weimin couldn't understand. He sat beside Old Hu and started eating and drinking. He didn't know how long it had been since he came in. He even fainted twice in the middle. Anyway, he was hungry and tired. He had to replenish his energy first. Sun Weimin thought that at most, he would dig a hole under the door and crawl in.
The three of them ate and drank their fill and began to mess around with the door. Since the 'Half Fairy' was at his wit's end, they would attack together. He saw Fatty carrying Old Hu and touching the door. He was probably looking for a mechanism. Sun Weimin was digging around with a shovel, but he was very disappointed. He didn't know how deep the stone was buried under the door, but he " ran into a wall " wherever he dug. Sun Weimin was so angry that he threw the shovel away and sat on the ground. He only said to the stone door," Only the earth rules faith. It's heavy, broad, and all-encompassing."”He was talking about the characteristics of the Five Elements Earth.
" Nothing is not tolerated, nothing is not tolerated." Sun Weimin seemed to have found some feelings. He stood up and looked at the door and the stone statue. The more he looked, the more he felt. He couldn't help but retreat, and only when he reached the iron chain bridge did Sun Weimin stop. He realized that the two rows of stone statues were a little special. They weren't arranged very neatly. Although they were symmetrical, from the gate to the direction of the bridge, the distance between the stone statues became larger and larger. The closer they were to the stone gate, the closer they were. Moreover, the stone statues did not face the stone path like the other mausoleums. Instead, they faced the iron chain bridge. From a distance, they gave the impression of two rows of people walking out of the door. Seeing this, Sun Weimin desperately ran back and shouted,"I know!" I know! Come and help!" He called out to Old Hu and Fatty.
Old Hu and the others heard that there was an idea and immediately ran over. Sun Weimin pointed at the stone statue and panted," Turn, turn around, face inside." He meant for Old Hu and the others to turn the stone statue to face the stone door. So the three of them worked together, pushing the base of the stone statue and starting to turn it. When they used force, they found that they could really turn it. However, it was a little difficult for the three of them to turn it. After turning one or two, they had to rest for a while. Fatty was so tired that he scolded Jin Daya, saying that Jin Daya was not a thing. He must be sleeping in a warm bed at this time. How would he know that Jin Daya was guarding the wilderness alone? After guarding for an entire night, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. The three of them didn't come up until dawn, so he drove back to the county town.
Not to mention Big Jin Daya, Sun Weimin and the other two used more than an hour to turn the last stone statue around. When the stone statue was in place, they heard a rumble from the door. The door really opened, and it was opened by itself. The three of them were extremely happy and could not help but cheer. Sun Weimin even shouted,"Be generous, generous, and broad!"”
In fact, Sun Weimin's plan was very simple. When he saw Shi Xiangsheng walking out from the inside, he felt that it was unreasonable. However, if he changed his direction, he would go from the outside to the inside. This would be the same as the saying,"The sea accepts hundreds of rivers, and it is big with tolerance", which was the soil of the five elements. The truth of all things. If the logic was right, the door would naturally open by itself.
After the three of them were happy, they rushed to the stone door. After entering, they saw a huge stone wall with large words carved from top to bottom. Sun Weimin took the flashlight and looked at it silently. The more he looked, the more surprised he was. He grinned at Old Hu and said,"Cao Cao left us a message."
