I picked up the paper and looked closely at the people who drew the bow and shot the arrow in the four directions, and it was true that this really represented the four directions. Nowadays, people generally use the southeast and northwest to represent the geographical location, but in ancient times it was much more complicated, in addition to using the southeast and northwest to represent it, there are many ways.

With yin and yang, the north of the water is the yang, and the south of the mountain is the yang. Originally, it refers to the sun to the back, the sun to the yang, and the back to the sun to the yin. We are now located in the northern hemisphere, the mountains and rivers generally run east-west, the mountains and rivers are intertwined, the south of the mountains and the north of the water are yang, so the south of the mountains and the north of the water are yang, and vice versa.

With the five elements, wood is on the left, gold is on the right, fire is in the front, water is in the back, and earth is in the center...... It is the old wood that lives in the east and dominates spring, fire lives in the south and dominates summer, metal lives in the west and dominates autumn, and water lives in the north and dominates winter. The five elements are generally considered to refer to the five types of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. In the Han Dynasty, the five elements formed a cooperative relationship with geographical orientation.

With five colors, the ancients matched the five elements of wood, fire, metal, water and earth with the five colors of green, red, white, black and yellow, and corresponded to the five squares of east, south, west, north and middle. Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty said clearly: "The wood is green, so the green is also in the East; Wood makes fire, and its color is red, so the red is also in the south; Fire gives birth to earth, its color is yellow, so the yellow is also in the center; Native gold, its color is white, so the white West also; Gold gives birth to water, and its color is black, so the black is also in the north.

With the four beasts, the ancients used the "four divine beasts" of Canglong (Qinglong), Vermilion Bird, White Tiger and Xuanwu to represent the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, that is, "four directions and four gods". Bangu's "White Tiger Tongyi" cloud: "Left Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Front Vermilion Bird, Back Xuanwu". Canglong (Qinglong), with a dragon as the motif. Suzaku, with a bird as its motif; a white tiger, with a leaping tiger as the motif; Xuanwu, which depicts a snake wrapped around a turtle. The square gates, bridges, and lakes of the ancient palace city in China are also often named after the four divine beasts, such as Qinglong Town, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea. Chang'an, Jinling, etc., its north gate is called Xuanwu Gate, and the south gate is called Zhuque Gate.

Take Bagua, Bagua is the eight pictorial symbols in the "Zhou Yi". The order of the gossip is generally: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, and the relationship between the Bagua and the geographical location is: Zhen represents the east, Li represents the south, Dui represents the west, and Kan represents the north, which is the "four positives"; The writer represents the southeast, the kun represents the southwest, the qian represents the northwest, and the gen represents the northeast.

With the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, the ancients combined the heavenly stem and the five elements to indicate the geographical direction, and the mantra that circulated was: "Jiayimu in the east, Bingding fire in the south, Gengxin gold in the west, non-decanic water in the north, and Wuji soil in the center." "The ancients also used the earth branch to indicate the geographical location. Wang Mang once opened a north-south passage from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, called the "Meridian Road". Yan Shigu explained: "Son, the north; Noon, the south also. The north and south roads are equivalent, so it is called the meridian ear. The imaginary line (meridian) connecting the north and south poles of the earth is called the meridian. Mao is the time when the sun rises in the east, so "Mao" means the east; 酉时 is the time when the sun sets in the west, so "酉" means the west.

In the case of the constellations, ancient astronomers selected 28 constellations on both sides of the ecliptic and equator as signs for observing celestial phenomena, called "28 constellations" (each constellation contains 2 to 22 stars). The 28 Nakshatras are divided into four groups, which are respectively equipped with four guardian beasts to form a complete set of astrological theories: the Seven Nakshatras of the Eastern Canglong: Jiaoju, Kangsu, Diju, Fangsu, Xinsu, Tail, and Keiju. Northern Xuanwu Seven Accommodations: Dou Su, Niu Su, Female Su, Void Su, Dangerous Su, Room Su, and Bi Su. The Seven Houses of the Western White Tiger: Kuisu, Lousu, Stomach, Pleiades, Bisu, Misu, and Betelgeuse. The Seven Houses of the Southern Vermilion Bird: Jingju, Onijuku, Liuju, Xingsu, Zhangsu, Wing, and Zhenju.

On this copy paper, it doesn't look like it is represented by the heavenly stems and the stars, and there seem to be only four directions in the picture, so we can only consider the four beasts and gossip, we all know that Fu Xi was before Shennong, when Shennong tasted a hundred medicines, Fu Xi had invented and created divination gossip according to the changes of heaven and earth, and Fu Xi was the first emperor of the three emperors and five emperors.

If so, assuming that the first possibility is that the direction in this picture is the four beasts, then what does the archer do? Shoot the green dragon Vermilion Bird White Tiger Xuanwu?

The four beasts fuse the five elements and directions, and they also have a certain relationship with the six hexagrams of Zhou Yi. In addition, the ancients divided the stars in the sky into seven star regions: "Three Walls" and "Four Elephants". The three walls are arranged in a triangle around the North Star. There are "four elephants" distributed around the "three walls": "East Canglong, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, and North Xuanwu".

Then, this is definitely inseparable from the shock in the gossip.

Well, the more I think about these things, the more complicated they become, and I suddenly lose my bearing, like a person drifting in the vast ocean, or lost in the big universe, I can't find a clue, this information is like a pencil scribbling on a line on paper, I can't tell which line is what I want.

I was in a state of infinite confusion.

I had a headache, it was much harder than a math problem, and my brain cells died in an instant, so I closed my eyes, slapped the piece of paper on the table, and let out a long breath.

Bazihu was surprised: "There is a result?" ”

"There's a fart result, where did you get a piece of ass wiping paper, it's too much brains." I'm letting this piece of paper hurt me now.

"It's my ancestral tomb robbery secret technique."

"Your ancestors may be playing with you, making a picture like this to make you swoon."

"No way, before my father could speak, he told me that this secret art was stolen from a mysterious tomb, and my ancestor almost died from it."

Although the old man couldn't speak, he always made a strange sound when he saw me, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and the doctor said what kind of disease it was, I didn't know very well.

But suddenly I had a strange thought that flashed through my mind.

If you can really find the tomb of the earth king and find the exquisite jade body of the Shennong clan, maybe you can cure the life of his father.

"You only copied one piece of paper, and the information about the tomb of the earth king may not be on more than this piece of paper."

"You mean ......"

"It's possible that this piece of paper and the next piece of paper for your book are a fit." I learned this from a wild history, and I don't know which one it is.

"In this way, Charles, if you want to talk about high-tech, I am not as good as you, if you want to say that you are not as good as me who touches gold and robs tombs, you use the computer, use satellite maps, find out the topographic map on this paper, and I, from this feng shui to study this map."

"Okay."

"I've looked at some maps before, and I've found that there's a piece of terrain in the western desert that is similar to here, but to get there, you need to pass through a place called Death Valley."

"I've heard of this, I'll talk about it when I'm done looking at the map."

……

Coming out of the 999 hot pot restaurant, the wind in the cold night seemed to become even colder, blowing on the face like a knife. I walked back to the house I rented with Dog Er, Dog Er was not there, the room seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, the stove hadn't been lit since I left, Dog Er seemed to be a little estranged from me recently, Guan Yunyun now made him unrelenting, he went to find Guan Yunyun after class, and he also walked with Guan Yunyun after evening self-study.

The grandson had probably gone back to his father, and the house was becoming less and less like a house, and until it had happened, it had been warm and youthful, full of books, school uniforms thrown on the stacks, and sneakers and soccer balls. But since these things happened, the house has become more and more deserted, and Sang Yu used to come here to play with me when he had nothing to do, and a few of us sat in front of the window, laughing and laughing in the room full of musty books.

What now? I have a huge amount of cash in my hand, but I don't seem to be doing anything to make me truly happy, and besides, my bank account is frozen, and I seem to be a poor person again. What about the luxury of some of the biggest stars? Look, I don't even have a famous watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Having that money can make me more luxurious than the richest man in the world, but now I'm involved in the conspiracy of the Tomb of the Earth King and Gao Zhixiong, FUCK! I'm going to sleep in the pile of money, but what did I do when I had money? I also plan to use the money to buy a private island, and when Sang Yu graduates from university, I will go to the island with her to have a baby.

I could have rolled up some of the things of the Three Kingdoms and made a fortune so that I could live a life of freedom from now on, but at present, it seems that it is not so simple.

I went out the door, pulled a few pieces of coal from the coal pile, and went into the house and lit the stove, which was not lit for a long time, and the smoke was very strong. The landlady should have rested a long time ago, so I didn't dare to move too much. I squatted on the ground wrapped in my clothes, covered my mouth with a towel, and fanned hard with a book, and after my fan, the charcoal in the stove quickly burned. I opened the window to let out all the smoke, and when the cold air took over the room, I closed the window again, and after about an hour, the red stove gradually warmed the room.

At this time, the manufacturer of the inflatable doll called and said that all the 100,000 dolls were packed and asked when I would be delivered...... I almost forgot about Cao Cao's deal, and the delivery date was approaching.

Cao Cao was also waiting a little anxiously over there, seeing that the date had come, and I was nowhere to be seen, and I had swept away the gold, silver and jewelry, but I had not been able to deliver the goods for a long time, and in private, some of Cao Cao's advisers began to suspect me, and said that I was just a charlatan.

"Prime Minister, in my opinion, this Charr is unknown, and he is clearly a liar."

"Prime Minister, you can quickly send someone to investigate, send a portrait of someone, issue a wanted notice, and anyone who reports it will be rewarded, and within a few days, the liar will be caught."

"Prime Minister......

Cao Cao waved his hand, he was very displeased, he was suspicious, but for the sake of face, if Xia Er is really a liar, then it was Cao Cao who was deceived, and in front of everyone, Cao Cao would lose face.

"If you have more words, behead!" Cao Cao said angrily.

The generals didn't dare to say anything more, and for a while, the hall was extremely embarrassed.

"Report!" A long bulletin broke the silence, and the pawn ran into the hall and fell to one knee.

Cao Cao stood up suddenly, pointed to the pawn on the ground and said, "Why are you so panicked? ”

"Prime Minister, there are people outside the city asking to see you."

"Who?"

"The surname is Xia Minger, and it is said that military supplies were transported."

"Oh? If it comes, send someone to answer it quickly. Cao Cao waved his coat sleeves and walked down the steps briskly, leading the generals to the city gate.

The 100,000 inflatable dolls were all stacked outside the city gate, enough for Cao Cao's army to go south, and Cao Cao twisted his beard and laughed on his horse.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng, according to the agreement, all 100,000 Diao Chans are in place, and none of them are bad." I said out loud.

"Aha, I say to the generals, the Charr will live up to me, come, come, drink with me and the generals."

Cao Cao put on a banquet, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea are readily available, as the saying goes, if you want to have a good relationship with people, you have to do what you like, I know that Cao Cao is lustful, so I shipped an inflatable doll for him, saving Cao Cao from going to war wherever he went.

At the banquet, Cao Cao was so drunk that he wanted to give me ten beauties, and promised that if he took Jingzhou, he could give me a half-job in the court to play.

After the banquet, I went back to the lodging that Cao Cao had arranged for me to rest, and I was about to undress and go to bed, when the guard knocked on the door and said, "Sir, someone else asks to see me!" ”
