Chapter 129 Seven-tone Horn
The corner gate in the seven-tone gate is located at an angle of 130 degrees on the fifth floor of Qingyang City. This floor is relatively special compared with other floors. In the past, it was inhabited by merchants of the magic clan, which is equivalent to the commercial street in this city.
Most of the people who once lived on the fifth floor have a three- to five-story street-facing building as a store. Behind the store is connected to the courtyard and residence, but now it has long been empty.
After Ouyang Xiao Leng used his spherical compass to determine the preparation direction, he walked along the shopping street and found a six-story store in a general position. From the outside, the store is taller than the shops on both sides, and the door is more spacious, but even so, it can't stop a towering tree in the yard. The dense branches and leaves stretched out from the courtyard to the sky, as if they were greeting the people outside.
There is a plaque hanging on the door of the store with the word "green sac" written on it. Ouyang Xiao Leng remembers that there was a master surnamed Huang Mingshigong in the Qin and Han Dynasties in the human world. He once wrote a book about the feng shui of heaven and earth called the Qing Sinus Sutra. I don't know what this Qing bag has anything to do with that book.
The hidden door of the store only opens out with a gentle pull. Just opposite the door of the store is a long counter. In addition to a row of shelves, there is also a plaque behind the counter that says "The Way to Know the World".
Ouyang Xiao Leng recalled that he had seen such a sentence somewhere, which was similar to that if he wanted to understand the Qingbagjing, he must know the way of heaven and earth, thinking that the former owner of the store was really interesting. Looking further on both sides, there is a staircase extending to the second floor, and the door leading to the back courtyard is hidden under the stairs on the right.
For some reason, his heart was always attracted by the big tree he saw when he was outside the store, so he did not go up the stairs but went straight to the courtyard.
When he was under this big tree, he found that its huge umbrella-like trunk and crown looked so familiar. He felt that he must have seen a tree similar to it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. After careful recalling for a while, I suddenly found that the tree was the same as the tree of life in the demon horse forest, or it was a pocket version of the tree of life.
He gently put his hand on the trunk of the uncle in front of him and felt that his heart and the will of the tree gradually merge. His consciousness was indeed taken to the demon horse forest, crossing the gurgling streams and lush plains, to the real tree of life, where an old man sat, and there was a game of chess in front of the old man.
The old man with crane hair and childlike face was wearing a green coarse cloth robe. While twisting his beard with his hand, he stared at the chessboard in a daze. From time to time, he sighed, as if he was puzzled by the chess game in front of him.
Ouyang Xiao Leng walked from the demon horses resting around the tree of life to the opposite side of the old man. The old man looked up at him, as if he had known him for a long time, and raised his hand to signal him to the opposite chair. He also sat down according to his wishes, and then looked carefully at the chess game in front of him, but found that it was not a mess at all, but more like a gossip array with black and white chess.
The old man raised his head and pointed to the chessboard and asked him, "What do you think of this chess game?"
"First of all, this is not a chess game. If I guess correctly, this should be some kind of formation?" Ouyang Xiao Leng said his idea directly.
The old man nodded and continued to ask, "So what do you think we should do next?"
This is difficult for Ouyang Xiao Leng. He recalled the word "green sac" he had just seen on the plaque outside the store. The "Green sac Sutra" is a number to reflect the mystery between heaven and earth, and the reason it follows is the same as the "River Map", that is to arrange ten natural sequences into two rows to form five different sequences, sixteen, sixteen, Twenty-seven, thirty-eight, forty-nine, fifty. That is, yin and yang are matched, male and female are intertwined, with each other, forming five trillions, and there are water, fire, wood, gold and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter, day by day and month, running forever.
He tried to make up the black and white pieces on the chessboard according to this principle. The old man couldn't help nodding and said something in his mouth: "One-six in water, two-seven fire, three-eight wood, forty-nine alloys, fifty-one earth, wonderful! Wonderful!"
Seeing that Ouyang Xiao Leng was satisfied with his pendulum, he wanted to ask him about the corner gate. Just as he was about to speak, the old man asked another question.
"What do you think can you do to gather all the demon horses in this demon horse forest in front of me in an instant?"
Ouyang Xiao Leng looked around. The demon horse in front of him was either slightly bent on one leg to take a nap, or leisurely nibbling on the tender grass on the ground. It was quite painful to make them focus all their attention on themselves, not to mention that many demon horses exist in other places in the forest.
After thinking left and right, he suddenly remembered that there might be a way to work. The life tree around him is also called the brain of the whole demon horse forest. Every demon horse here is also controlled by it. If he tries to hurt the tree, will it gather all the demon horses to protect itself in a hurry? Question mark Thinking of this, he got up and called out the divine ice, and waved his sword to cut down the tree of life.
"Wait down!" The old man hurriedly stopped him. Seeing that he finally stopped his hand, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "You are so reckless! If this tree of life dies, all the demon horses here will get out of control. I'm afraid you can't call out the unicorn you want to summon in the future!"
Ouyang Xiao Leng was stunned when he heard that he could say the name of his demon horse contractor, but he quickly realized who the old man in front of him was, and asked directly, "Are you the tree of life?"
The old man did not answer his question, but looked up at the big tree beside him, and then said, "The first question tests your observation ability, and you just keep it in mind when you see the green bag in the store, and also think of the river map, which shows that you are really like watching the fire and have a wide range of knowledge; the second question In addition to testing your reaction, it is also a test of your courage. You have successfully passed these two problems, and there is one last question next.
Seeing that he said this, but stopped, Ouyang asked anxiously, "What is it?"
"I'm tired of standing here alone all day long. I want to have a game with you. What do you think?" As he spoke, the old man stood up from the chair and clapped his hands. In the blink of an eye, a moderate chestnut demon horse stepped on the wind, shouted in front of them and stopped.
Ouyang Xiao Leng thought to himself: This old man is really interesting. He still has to race with me at this age. Obviously, he is beyond his own strength, so he said, "Old man, if you and I lose this, don't say that I bullied you!"
"Haha, the game is a game, but according to my rules, I can let you try it first!" The old man said with a smile that he seemed to be confident about the game.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Ouyang Xiaoler was thinking about completing his test quickly to open the horn gate, so he didn't say more. He listened to what strange rules the old man would say.
"One, you can't ride your unicorn in the game, but a demon horse I chose for you. Second, we compare not only the speed, but the ability to cross obstacles in the process. Third, if you win, I will guide you to open the horn gate. If I win, you will give up your previous plan and leave Qingyang. Go to your royal city." The old man put away his smile and said the three rules one by one.
Ouyang Xiao Leng felt that it was reasonable, so he did not raise any objection, but agreed to the rules he said. The old man clapped his hands twice when he saw the situation. A jujube-colored and white-flowered demon horse ran over like the wind. It rampaged all the way through the other demon horses and rolled up the sand with a wind. When it came to them, it almost did not brake the brake and overturned the table with the chessboard. Even after it stopped, it kept pedaling with its horse's hoof. On the ground, there is also constant rough air in the nose.
"You can ride this horse!" Try to get acquainted with it first!" The old man said with a little naughty prank on his face.
Ouyang Xiao Leng walked to the demon horse, intending to reach out his hand to touch its forehead. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, the frequency of rough air in his nostrils became more rapid, and he kept stepping on the ground to warn him.
He let out a soothing sound. He tried several times before reluctantly putting his hand on his forehead, but the horse was obviously a little resistant. He turned around and asked the old man, "What's its name?"
"It doesn't have a name, because it is really wild and difficult to tame, so there has never been a contractor. Even I can't control it. At most, I can only pat its forehead. It took me a long time to do this. You did the same thing so quickly. It seems that there is really hope that you can tame it this time. After saying that, the old man walked to the chestnut demon horse that came first. He flew over to the horse's back, and then bowed his head and said to him, "Try to see if you can get on the horse first!"
Ouyang Xiaoxin thought that he would not let himself win so easily. He didn't expect to come up with such a ghost idea. Not to mention the demon horse that has never been tamed by anyone in front of him, even if unfamiliar people want to control the demon horse to cross various obstacles, it is impossible to complete. Together, the two are even more It's difficult to climb to the sky. The old man obviously didn't want him to open the corner gate and deliberately embarrass him, right?!
But since he promised to play this game with the old man, he couldn't complain, so he had to continue to comfort the demon horse in front of him, keep touching its forehead and saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm going to ride on your back now!"
He flew lightly to the horse's back. At first, the tall horse under his body was stunned for a while. Soon it began to bump around like crazy and tried to drop him down. He had to hold the horse's mane tightly and let it throw itself like a grass swaying in the wind. !
"You don't feel that you have any advantage now, do you?" The old man's voice echoed in his dizzy brain.
He controlled his body to press as low as possible, looking for balance back and forth, and calculated the right time to tighten the horse's mane to slow down. Even if his body had been exhausted by it, he would never give up. Finally, the demon horse under him began to slow down slowly and finally stopped. It was no longer so resistant to his riding. On my back, although I will be nervous from time to time.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, I'm not mistaken. You really have the talent to tame horses!" Follow me now!"
Ouyang Xiao Leng controlled the demon horse and followed the old man to the open land. I don't know when the obstacles have been set up. Although the original wild demon horse has become relatively docile at this time, it is still unknown whether it will pass through these obstacles smoothly according to its own will.
The first obstacle is a large snake-shaped uphill, which not only tests the endurance of the demon horse, but also tests the rider's driving ability. If you are not careful, you will rush out of the slope. The second obstacle is a set of high and dense fences, which mainly tests the rider's ability to control the demon horse to jump continuously. The third obstacle is a burning flame. The stone road is a test of whether the demon horse can take risks in order to complete the rider's task.
Ouyang Xiao Leng and the old man rode their own demon horses at the same starting point. Many demon horses surrounded them one after another. They stood aside like spectators. These night elves were also curious about how the teenager could train this unique companion.
