Chapter 107: The Ruins of the Coiling Dragon

――

The land of Yin Ruins, the former site of the Panlong court in the Shang capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yin is one of the capitals of the former dynasty and Shang, Yin Shang and Weiguo have a big similarity is that the capital is moved frequently, and the place of Yin Ruins is the capital of the middle and late Yin Shang period.

The old place of Panlong City of Yin Shang Palace is located in the south of Huanshui (Anyang River), with Yin Shang being replaced by Zhou, this former capital city palace has long been buried in the earth more than 700 faces do not see the light of day, now Panlong City has been overturned by forests, no longer live up to the past scenery, only some occasional relics should prove the glory of the past.

Since the Shang king moved the capital to the death of the Yin Shang, the land of Panlong has become a deserted area for hundreds of years, and has been forgotten by the world.

But only five years ago, someone set foot here again, and even more so until now. It is the heirs of the two royal families of Yin Shang, the two daughters of Hu Yin and Hu Yue and one of them is over sixty years old.

"Sister, my uncle has something important to call you and me to see him quickly." It was the young Yueyin who spoke, and the two women stood in a pavilion on the edge of the lake.

When Hu Yin heard this, he immediately returned to a bamboo house around the lake with his sister that he had lived in for five years, and at this moment there was a white-haired old man in the house, who was the uncle Yue Yin claimed to be.

At this moment, the old man was so focused that the two women were sitting on the ground in front of him and didn't notice it, Hu Yin and Yue Yin waited patiently without saying a word, and the two sat on the ground next to the old man, watching silently, obviously the two of them had great respect for this old man.

At this moment, there was a book slip beside the white-haired old man, and the words burned on it were not the mainstream languages of the Seven Kingdoms at all, but the words that belonged to Yin Shang alone. The origin of this book is very large, and few people in the world know it, and it is the "Return to Tibet" in the three books of the hexagram book "I Ching".

The ancients were superstitious in divination, Yin Shang was already heavy on ghosts and gods, and divination was an extremely sacred thing for the people of Yin Shang, which can be seen from the silent performance of the fox Yin Yue and Yin two daughters at the moment.

The Book of Changes is not the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes is just one of them, and the Book of Changes is the collective name of the three major divination scriptures, namely Yu Xia's Lianshan Yi, Yin Shang's Book of Returning to Tibet, and King Wen of Zhou's Book of Changes, collectively known as the Book of Changes.

At this moment, the old man sitting on the ground closed his eyes and was silent, waiting for something motionless like a rotten tree, and there was a turtle back in front of him. At present, the turtle is called "Xuanwu", which is one of the four spirits, and is as famous as Lin, "Feng" and "Dragon", and is called the four spirits.

Thousands of years later, people used the words "turtle grandson" and "Wang Ba" to scold people, the turtle is one of the most sacred creatures in the world, not only has an extremely lofty status, but also the turtle's back is an indispensable item in divination.

The reason why the turtle's back is used for divination is not groundless, the turtle's back has a turtle pattern, and there are three grids in the center of the turtle pattern, which corresponds to the three talents of "heaven, earth, and man"; There are twenty-four on the side, corresponding to the twenty-four mountains in the world; There are also ten squares, corresponding to the ten heavenly stems, and the bottom of the turtle shell has twelve squares, indicating the twelve pillars of the earth.

The characteristics of the turtle's back are more corresponding, and the three talents of heaven, earth and man in the gossip, and the heavenly and earthly branches in divination correspond to each other, all kinds of characteristics make the turtle's back regarded as a sacred object by the ancients.

At this moment, a turtle's back is being roasted by fire, and the Yin Shang script is engraved on it, and the process of divination is to inscribe the matter of divination on the turtle's back, and then put it into the fire to bake, and then take it out after the turtle shell is cracked. If the crack is not inscribed, it is a good omen; If the crack stays on the text, it is like a hexagram; If a rift passes through the text, it's a bad omen.

Finally, the white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately raised the turtle shell, he stared down at the turtle's back for a long time without speaking, and Hu Yin, who was sitting on the ground next to him, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, how is the hexagram?" ”

The two were born in the ancient city of Chaoge, originally in the city of Chaoge, but a few years ago, the uncle divined a hexagram, and the hexagram asked them to go to the former site of the Dragon Palace in Yinxu, which is now here, because of a hexagram and it has been five years.

The old man's cloudy eyes stared at the turtle's back, and after a long time, he said, only nine words: "The king is now, he will follow, and the fox will leave." ”

Hearing this, the two girls silently recited the nine characters in their uncle's mouth in their hearts, and the more active and beautiful Hu Yin flashed her beautiful eyes, and she was curious in her heart, how could there be any king and general in this barren mountain range? Although he had doubts, he attached great importance to his uncle's words and even believed them.

The old man's thoughts trembled for a moment and he got up, Yue Yin hurriedly got up and took hands, and the old man said: "The environment is fate, and the opportunity is luck." Today is the time to decide the fate of both of you! Fox, Yue'er, hurry up and prepare, you must do what the old man said. ”

"Uncle, Hu Yin is puzzled, Yin Shang has been extinct for eight hundred years, and Hu Yue and the two are just orphans of the previous dynasty......" Speaking of this, Hu Yin wanted to speak and stopped. The white-haired old man re-rolled up and put away the "Return to Tibet", and sighed: "The old man knows the destiny of heaven, and he also knows that the destiny of heaven is terrible. At this point, it is just the destiny of heaven, the will of heaven, and the will of heaven......"

"The king is coming, go and prepare-!"

It turned out that the preparation that the white-haired old man said was to ask Yin Hu and Yin Yue to dress up carefully, and even took out a white dark dress that had been sealed for many years to represent the strong color of Yin Shang.

According to the theory of yin and yang five elements, each dynasty has a representative of the "virtue" that belongs to the dynasty, legend has it that the Yellow Emperor in ancient times once saw a large earthworm more than ten zhang long, and the earthworm belongs to the soil, so the Yellow Emperor is the soil virtue, the color is still yellow; Dayu once met the green dragon, the green dragon is wood, and the wood is earth, so Yu Xia is wood; Legend has it that when King Tang Wu was fighting Xiaji, he encountered the golden bird Vermilion Bird, and Jin Kemu, so Yin Shang's virtue was Jinde, which was still white; And when today's co-owner is the Zhou room, Zhou Xing is fire virtue, fire and gold, and the national color advocated is red, that is, red.

The two daughters of Hu Yin and Yue Yin are even more beautiful in white clothes, and the two women are like immortals who have fallen into the mortal dust.

The uncle's move was obviously for a clear purpose, and he was convinced of the divination hexagram. The king will appear and let the two daughters of the fox moon dress up so carefully, which is deliberately to attract the king's attention.

This is clearly the move of "Yue Lao"!

Whether it is the mandate of heaven or the will of heaven, there is no king in this land of ruins in the Huanshui Basin, but there is a king of a country who is here, that is, the lord of the country, Wei Zheng who came from the Anyang iron mine.

Obviously, the king in the hexagram is Wei Zheng unexpectedly.
