Chapter 360: The Ins and Outs of the Peach Blossom Spring

Tu Yao said that Situ Yan was quite ambitious, and if he could take the Qi State so quickly, he must have bewitched the Confucian scholars who came with him, and Yang Xiu, Kong Qin and others were mostly out of the way, otherwise with Situ Yan's ability, it would be difficult for them to bow down.

Bu An was at the critical moment of cracking the bamboo ciphertext, and he didn't want to withdraw suddenly, so he said that let him toss, and everyone only needed to defend Longting City.

Tu Yao saw that he looked like he was not giving up, he was angry in his heart, and left with his hands.

Bu An didn't have the slightest intention of chasing after him to explain, but just ordered Yu Ji to close the door, and then turned over a dismantled bamboo slip in front of him, revealing the seemingly chaotic scratches on the back of the bamboo slip.

His previous attention was all attracted by the words on the bamboo slips, even if he saw these scratches, he turned a blind eye, only as if they were accidentally left by the slips, if it were not for Yu Ji's reminder of the three words "sword in his back", he might never have imagined that the secret would be hidden in these scratches.

Now that I looked closely, I suddenly saw the clue.

Among the countless messy scratches, there are vaguely six relatively regular shapes, from top to bottom, four intact and two broken from them.

These are two gossip hexagrams! They correspond to the two images of Qiangong! But what does it represent?!

Bu An flipped through a few more bamboo slips, only to see that they all had similar rules behind them, and his mind moved, he suddenly got up, walked carefully to the door, and called a palace maid who was waiting outside, and asked her to pass the order and recruit the Chen brothers to meet.

However, after a stick of incense, Chen Chi and Chen Wei came to the outside of the Treasure Pavilion.

At this time, next to the gate of the Treasure Pavilion, Bu An had already prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and when they came, he instructed the two of them to write down the Ming 64 hexagrams and the dark 64 hexagrams, as well as their corresponding meanings and sequences.

Chen Chi and Chen Wei naturally did it.

As soon as the ink dried, Bu An casually ordered the two to retreat, took the hexagram pattern by himself, and turned back and entered the Treasure Pavilion.

...... In the eight trigrams, the two images of Qiangen are combined together, which is the thirty-third hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams, called Tianshan Dun.

Bu'an flipped over the bamboo slips and counted down the thirty-third word on the front: "Shun".

And this bamboo slip is the first volume and the first piece of all the more than 2,000 volumes.

Immediately afterwards, Bu An followed this method and obtained the seventeenth character indicated by the hexagram on the back of the second piece of the first volume: "Heaven".

These two words are connected and have a clear meaning!

Bu An knew that he had found the right way, so he searched according to the map, and then looked down.

Yu Ji also participated, but as more and more words were found, Yu Ji became more and more puzzled: they seemed to be all words, but how could they not be read?

When she asked, Bu An casually pointed to the pile of broken bamboo slips behind her.

Yu Ji suddenly realized that these seemingly isolated words were the missing parts on the fragment!

More than 2,000 books, more than 60,000 pieces of bamboo slips, one person and one ghost took six days and five nights to complete.

The work of adding them to the broken books is much simpler by comparison.

It is likely that these dozens of fragments also have some kind of ingenious order, but Bu An did not find them, and he used a seemingly stupid but efficient method: trial and error.

With Suncheon ...... Inn...... Black...... Water...... and so on, and soon he got the complete first volume.

Then I used this method to get the second volume, the third volume...... and even the last volume.

As soon as he read it hastily, Bu An knew that his efforts had not been in vain—in these forty-two volumes, there were thirty-one complete sets of ancient array mysteries, as well as simple methods on how to enter and exit this water and heaven Xuan array.

Looking at the piles of bamboo chips, as well as the scrolls that were finally copied by Bu An, Yu Ji also shook her head and sighed: "This thing is changed by another person, even if you remember the full text of the Book of Music, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve it!"

Bu An stretched his waist for a long time, shook his head with a smile and said: "The First Emperor must have felt that if his descendants can't solve the mystery of this bamboo slip, there is no need to go out......"

"This old guy has exhausted all his tricks, but in the end he has cheapened you......" Yu Ji smiled bitterly, picked up a crumpled piece of paper casually, and said suspiciously: "More than 60,000 words have not been exhausted...... Are we missing something?"

Of course, Bu An knew what was missing: the fragment engraved with the word Pangu had long been hidden by him.

He didn't say anything at the moment, just folded these unused words and paper, stuffed them into his arms, and then silently bound the thirty-one complete volumes of the Array Xuan Score one by one with needles and threads, and finally memorized the simple method of entering and exiting the Water Heaven Xuan Array (only more than two hundred words).

After doing all this, Bu An and Yu Ji looked at each other and smiled, and then, as if venting the grievances accumulated over the past few days, they used their hands and feet to completely disrupt all the scattered bamboo slips.

It was only then that he discovered that these bamboo slips were not extraordinary, and they could not be destroyed easily, no wonder they had not been damaged for more than 2,000 years.

Bu An didn't want to destroy them completely (first, it was not necessary, and secondly, out of caution, maybe there were some mechanisms hidden in them), but finally gathered them together and piled them up in a corner of the Treasure Pavilion.

When it was done, a deep sense of fatigue hit, and Bu An couldn't remember how long it had been since he had slept well, and only then did he feel soreness and his head heavi.

He instructed Yu Ji to guard the gate, and he fell asleep on his head, sleeping very peacefully, with a satisfied and slightly sly smile on his face.

This Water Heaven Xuan Array was created by the First Emperor specifically to open up the middle realm of the realm, and in order to create this array, six scattered immortals were used successively.

The record of the Shuitian Xuan Array in the scroll only ends here, but what happened next, Bu An has his own guess:

The first emperor burned the book in order to destroy the Book of Music and pit Confucianism, but in order to provoke disputes between Confucianism and Taoism, he wanted to use the power of Confucianism to fight back and kill these six scattered immortals.

It's just that the grass was cut and not rooted, and among the six scattered immortals, some people knew that they were in danger, and hid in the Wuling area with their families, and took the incomplete Shui Tianxuan Array as a prison to escape from the world, until more than 400 years later, the fishman had no intention of breaking in.

Since then, the world has been able to know the so-called Peach Blossom Array.

Since the story of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" has flowed out, Taoists naturally want to go to explore, and the first emperor opened the mountain and split the ground, as well as the secret of the Shuitian Xuan Array in Jiangning City, must have been known by Taoist heirs from that time.

At this point, all the dynasties that built the capital of Jiangning listed this Xuanwu Lake as a forbidden place in the harem, and the reason can be imagined.

What the Daomen heirs got was not the complete copy of the Shuitian Xuan Array—otherwise they wouldn't have to use so many Buddhist relics to barely get through the Xuan Array—and what they dreamed of, instigated the emperors of the past dynasties, and spent more than a thousand years, but failed to get, has now fallen into the hands of Bu An.
