What are the differences between the four seasons?
Chen Ke walked down the path, lost in thought.
If the seven large pits in Longmen really correspond to the constellations of the Canglong, then there may be seasons.
The powerful people in ancient times used the changes in the positions of the constellations of the Azure Dragon and the Seven Stars to represent the changes in seasons.
The first hexagram of "Qian" in the "Book of Changes" has this meaning.
Nine two: See the dragon in the field.
This means that spring has returned to the earth, and one of the dragon horns of the Azure Dragon, the "Tiantian" star, has moved to the sky and appeared in people's sight.
On the second day of the second month, the entire dragon head appears, which is commonly known as "the dragon raises its head."
Nine and five: The flying dragon in the sky.
This refers to the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, when the seven stars of the Azure Dragon move to the most upright position in the sky, like a divine dragon flying into the sky.
Upper Nine: The arrogant dragon will regret.
This refers to the time when, at the turn of summer and autumn, the head of the Azure Dragon's seven stars begins to turn around, so it is called "regret".
Yongjiu: A group of dragons without a leader.
This means that from autumn to winter, the head of the Azure Dragon disappears from people's sight, so it is called "headless".
The first nine: The hidden dragon is of no use.
This means that after entering the cold winter, the seven stars of the Azure Dragon sink below the horizon and completely disappear from people's sight, so it is called the "Hidden Dragon".
The seven stars of the Azure Dragon continuously move from one end of the sky to the other, over and over again, corresponding to the changing cycle of the four seasons.
"So, the seven tiankengs in Longmen will have some characteristics of the four seasons' climate?" Chen Ke thought silently in his heart.
Then the fifth tiankeng that he has to pass through is... Qianlongwuyong!
Unknowingly, he had walked down a thousand meters, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing on a city wall.
Overlooking the entire city from the towering city walls is even more spectacular and shocking.
The ancient city fell into eternal slumber, and the ruins that can be seen everywhere are like indelible scars.
Three mottled towers rose into the sky, flashing a dark luster, as if silently telling him the countless destructions and rebirths that this city had experienced.
Chen Ke looked into the distance and felt surrounded by a mysterious and distant atmosphere.
Meicheng also has an underground city, but compared with the city in front of us, it is just a toy for children to play house.
He went down the city wall, entered a tunnel, and finally came out from a secret exit.
Before my eyes could adjust to the change in light, a fresh and mellow aura hit me in the face.
Sure enough, even though the spiritual energy here is not as good as that of the Haotian Secret Realm, it is not much worse.
There is no gate in Longmen, only a deserted garden.
Desolate and dilapidated, the ruins everywhere were covered with moss and submerged in overgrown weeds.
Several stone houses with most of their sides collapsed still stand stubbornly, but have become a paradise for wild foxes.
Two men in black stood solemnly on both sides of a broken courtyard wall.
After checking Chen Ke's credentials, a man handed him a red jade token and said, "When the red completely fades, it's time for you to leave. Three days, you only have three days."
Chen Ke nodded, put the jade token away, and strode through the broken courtyard wall.
The instructor who led the way watched Chen Ke disappear from view and couldn't help but ask, "Have any of the Shenlong students in recent years managed to pass the fifth level in three days?"
The two men in black thought for a moment and shook their heads at the same time.
The teacher couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Chen Ke had no hope. The other students who were trying to break through the Dragon Gate would have to adapt to the Shenlong Mansion for a period of time before going on to break through.
But Chen Ke, after a series of battles yesterday and only resting for one night, wanted to jump directly into the sinkhole.
This was already very unfair to him, and the headmaster had increased the difficulty of his passing the levels.
The teacher couldn't help but mutter, "If he succeeds, it will be an unprecedented record in the Shenlong Mansion."
A man in black suddenly said, "Someone has done it before."
The teacher was shocked: "In three days, he passed five levels in a row. Has anyone done it?!"
The man in black nodded: "Two people did it."
"who?"
"Principal Lu, and Wu Jiutian!"
…
call!
At the end of the path, Chen Ke took a deep breath and jumped into the bottomless pit.
The rolling clouds in the tiankeng carved out a circular hole, and Chen Ke fell straight down.
The thick and rich flavor began to become thin, floating in the air like a veil.
Chen Ke saw a round tree canopy under him, and suddenly moved to the side, stepping heavily on the canopy with both feet.
As the force was released, his body bounced up again and fell downwards.
Another crown, another crown, ...
Chen Ke seemed to be playing a game of challenging the hundred floors. He stepped on the uneven treetops and kept approaching the bottom of the pit.
Bang!
With one final bounce, his feet landed firmly on the ground.
The thick layer of rotten leaves on the ground directly submerged his knees.
It was precisely this huge cushion that relieved Chen Ke's falling force.
Chen Ke let out a breath, jumped up, and pulled out his two legs.
From here on, the real journey to the Dragon Gate begins.
The air was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Chen Ke took out the Soul Devouring Beast's horn and turned on the "Super Radar".
In his window, waves of soul suddenly appeared, floating outward, like ripples in a river.
As Chen Ke's soul power increased, the radar's warning range doubled from the previous 500 meters to 1,000 meters.
As long as he doesn't encounter an abnormally powerful monster, a one-thousand-meter buffer is enough for Chen Ke to escape from danger quickly.
After scanning for a while, no red light appeared in the window.
In other words, there is no one more powerful than him within a radius of one thousand meters.
It is also possible that the soul wave was blocked by something, so the hidden monster was not discovered.
But no matter what, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward quickly.
After passing through a forest of bizarre stone, the view suddenly opens up.
The endless space ahead was covered with tall, exotic grasses and colorful trees that shone like jade.
It was as if God had overturned a paint box, and the entire space was filled with a riot of color, so dazzling that it was blinding.
Each color is extremely rich and vibrant, exuding an evil and charming beauty.
A creepy feeling arises spontaneously!
A wild breath of life blew towards him, and Chen Ke couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Only then did Chen Ke confirm that this was the tiankeng corresponding to the "Tianmen" of the jiaoxing star.
Seeing a dragon in the field means spring is returning to the earth and all things are reviving.
There was only one passage between the dense and uneven strange trees, and Chen Ke walked through it with full vigilance.
He seemed to have fallen into a big dye vat and was completely submerged in the gorgeous and colorful world.
There was a sound of dripping water, Chen Ke looked up and saw that it was raining.
Transparent and shining rain lines slanted across the jade trees high in the sky, instantly dismembering the jade trees into pieces.
The sound of bells tinkles pleasantly, and broken jade flies everywhere.
Psychedelic light reflected in the air, and the whole world became fragmented.
The extremely sharp rain lines hit Chen Ke all over.
Crackling!
The rain lines broke, countless water droplets splashed, and thousands of points of light appeared.
Chen Ke's whole body was covered with water, layer upon layer, densely packed.
His body was like a wooden stake, smashed into the soil, with only his head sticking out.
