Chapter Seventy-Eight: Breaking the Formation by Luck
Zhong Wuregret and Young Fu Jia Song came to the original property of "Lady Peach Blossom".
The small building facing the street has been reduced to ashes, only a few wooden stakes that have been burned by the fire, and they have not yet been completely cleaned up, revealing their black and scorched bodies, as if telling everyone about the calamities that have been suffered here.
Hearing that the young master Jia Song, the governor of the capital, was coming, the head of this mansion waited with trepidation to lead the way at the gate.
From the burned down building, pass through the nine-song corridor, and come to the main house at the back.
As soon as you get out of the nine-curved corridor, after passing through several rows of tall trees, you will see a huge complex of buildings in front of you. Zhong Wuregret took a closer look and was surprised, this building was actually built according to the gossip of King Wen of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun and Zhou, including the principle of mutual restraint of the five elements, and the four main palaces, the four dimensional palaces and the middle palace.
The Middle Palace is where the reception hall is located.
The Book of Changes, formed on the basis of the Bagua of King Wen of Zhou, is one of the most important classics in ancient China and is known as the head of the group classics.
According to legend, in ancient times, the Fuxi clan created the Xiantian Yi (also known as the innate Bagua), the Shennong clan created the Lianshan Yi (also known as the Lianshan Bagua), and the Xuanyuan clan created the Guizang Yi (also known as the Guizang Bagua).
The silk diagram handed over to Zhong Wuxian by the old man Xiong Ke, King Cheng's guard, is based on Lianshan Yi's double cultivation method.
Although Zhong Wuregret was not interested in the scriptures of "Confucius", "Mencius" and "Laozi", he heard about the gossip of King Wen, and counted the past and the present to calculate the affairs of the world, so he had put a lot of effort into studying the "Book of Changes", the first of the group classics.
King Wen of Zhou was the founder of the Western Zhou Dynasty, named Chang, who inherited his father's throne during the Shang Dynasty and was named Xibohou. Xibohou used the method of the previous kings, treated the people with a benevolent heart, respected the old and the young, and recruited talents. On the contrary, the king of Shang ruled the people with strict laws, and was cruel and cruel.
He was most afraid of the people's rebellion, and was especially afraid of people of high moral and respectable times, so the king sent troops to Weishui, and the Marquis of Jossi hunted and practiced martial arts, and arrested him.
King Su wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Zhou, but seeing the strength of the Zhou people, and Xibohou had no intention of rebellion, he was afraid of provoking a change, so he imprisoned Xibohou in the Jin, and brought Xibohou's eldest son Boyi Kao back to Yindu as a hostage.
Xi Bohou was imprisoned in Jinli for seven years, and he used this time to repeatedly study the innate gossip handed down by Taihui Fuxi, and turned it into the acquired gossip, and performed it into sixty-four trigrams, each of which made a hexagram.
Confucius once said about this matter: "King Wen set the news because of yin and yang, and set up the world to rule the world." ”
Zhong Wuregret turned his head and looked at the road he came in, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't know if the owner of this mansion knew about Qimen Dunjia, but Zhong Wuregret secretly pressed the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to discharge the positions of this group of buildings, including the Closed Gate, the Life Gate, the Wounded Gate, the Du Gate, the Jing Gate, the Death Gate, the Surprise Gate, and the Open Door.
They had just entered through the Death Gate, and if the owner of the house intended to launch a formation, even if they were escorted by armor, the chances of them surviving were extremely low.
The eight formations of Zhuge Liang in later generations are based on this play, the eight formations are divided into eight parts, each part is divided into eight gates, and the probability of escape in each part is only one in eight, and in the entire formation, the probability of escape is even smaller.
"What's the name of this mansion?" Zhong Wuregret asked the housekeeper. When he came to this dangerous place, although he was nervous inside, he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.
"It's called Danfu, because the owner likes peony flowers, so it's called that." The steward replied honestly.
"I don't know if it's the name taken by the original owner, or the name taken by the current owner?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
"This was originally the property of Mrs. Peach Blossom, and after our master bought it, in order to show respect for Mrs. Peach Blossom, everything was left untouched, and the same is true for the name of the house." The implication of the steward's words is the name chosen by the original owner.
It would be difficult to operate on such a scale without spending five to eight years, and if this was once the property of the "Lady of Peach Blossom", she would never transfer it easily. According to Zhong Wuregret's estimate, even if hundreds of soldiers come to attack, they may not be able to get a good return here.
It's just that the master here never imagined that he would meet Zhong Wuregret, a genius from thousands of years later, and he could see through the mystery of her formation at a glance.
"One is called Red Mansion, the other is called Danfu, and the word Dan also means red letters, is it different? After meeting the master, we must be cautious. Zhong Wuregret was secretly glad that he didn't rush from the Jiuqu Corridor to the inner house that day.
He whispered to Xiangui, who was following him, "Here, you must be very, very careful, in case something happens, you must follow me closely." ”
In Xiangui's eyes, it is a peaceful atmosphere, with grass beds accompanied by green trees and flowers hiding dark fragrances. It's just that it's all neatly arranged and seems to be very regular.
Xiangui didn't understand why Zhong Wuregret came here as if he was facing a great enemy. She had rarely seen Zhong Wuregret so cautious, so she kept an eye on it.
Looking at the situation in Danfu, Xiangui is also a little strange, with her rich experience in setting up formations in the army, after coming here, she actually turned around three times and two times, and she couldn't find the direction of the southeast, northwest, and northwest. However, she knew that Zhong Wuregret was absolutely right, so she was full of vigilance.
When I came to the living room, this was where the middle palace of gossip was located, and the murderous atmosphere had decreased a lot.
"As a woman, the concubine is a woman, and she is far away, and I hope that the adults will forgive her!" In the living room, a graceful woman sat upright and greeted Young Master Jia Song and Zhong Wuregret.
She wears a hat popular in Chu and a black veil, so she can't see her true face, but her voice is as crisp as a bell, which is very beautiful.
"Because the king of Chu is in the capital, the official has a heavy responsibility, besides, this was once the place where the ancestors lived, and I heard that there was an incident here, so I came to understand the situation so as not to cause chaos." Young Fu Jia Song said.
"There is Lord Lao to worry about, the Lord is well governed, we live very comfortably here, we will never and do not want to cause trouble. It's just that someone came to Danfu a few days ago, and asked us to borrow the small building facing the street for a few days in a hurry, and the silver was quite abundant, and it happened that I had just gone out, and the housekeeper lent it on his own initiative, and now it has caused trouble to the adults, and I ask the adults to forgive me. The hostess said softly.
"When I hear about provoking trouble, I think of life in the mountains. In the mountains, spiders are often seen to make a web, some insects were originally going to find some food, but as a result, accidentally bumped into it, but did not expect it to become spider food, according to the owner, is the spider provoked the worm, or the worm provoked the spider? Zhong Wuregret said with a smile.
"I guess it was a mistake!" The woman said.
"One is unintentional, the other is intentional, also called a mistake?" Zhong Wuregret asked rhetorically. However, before the woman could reply, Zhong Wuregret suddenly changed the topic: "This used to be where Mrs. Peach Blossom lived, right?" ”
"Yes, after King Cheng ascended the throne, there is no news of Mrs. Peach Blossom, a few years ago, someone came to this capital, to sell this house, we have always admired Mrs. Peach Blossom's solar terms, so we bought it, so far, it still retains its original appearance." The woman said.
"The hostess is affectionate and righteous, I wonder if I can tell the surname?" Zhong Wuregret said.
"The concubine has never been married, and she is called Anonymous."
"Okay, so good, fortunately, Miss is not married, lest a pair of dog men and women do that reluctantly on the bed where Mrs. Peach Blossom slept and defile Mrs. Peach's bed, perhaps, the man 'snapped' the woman below, but what he thought in his heart was Mrs. Peach Blossom, and the anonymous man did a great good thing." Zhong Wuregret stretched out his thumb and praised.
Anonymous's veil trembled slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "How can there be such a **** person in the world." ”
"What do you mean by ****? Being slept with by three ordinary men is ****, and being slept with by three monarchs is a saint? Besides, I'm just talking. Zhong Wuregret said nonchalantly.
"You ......" Anonymous pointed at Zhong Wuregret's finger and trembled angrily, and said sharply: "If it weren't for the face of Young Fu Jia, I would definitely not let you get out of this door." ”
"Yo, I'm so scared, you think you won't be able to get out with a few more doors! Spiders build webs on all sides, and they are not without flaws. ”
Hearing Zhong Wuregret's words, Anonymous was extremely shocked in his heart, the spider was webbed on all sides, like gossip, how many more doors were said, it was possible to allude to the eight doors, Anonymous asked, "What door are you talking about?" ”
"Coming in may be the door of life, or it may be the door of death, and going out must be the door of life!" Zhong Wuregret stared at Anonymous and said.
At this time, Zhong Wuregret already knew that the master here must have a lot to do with Mrs. Peach Blossom. As soon as he came, he deliberately provoked her with Mrs. Peach's matter, just to find out if the situation was really like this, but he didn't expect to try out the truth in a hurry.
Zhong Wuregret is now a senior official in the DPRK, in a **** society, how can officials be afraid of the people? Zhong Wuregret thought that he didn't sting the other party, the other party really thought that he was a soft persimmon and easy to pinch, and he couldn't find an assassin to give him a few blows, how could he have so much energy to deal with these small things.
So he said directly: "Don't think that the agency is clever and empty-eyed, you must know that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and others may be afraid of you, but I only need a few people to destroy you, just like a small building outside the door." ”
Anonymous didn't make a sound.
Zhong Wuregret nodded in the void in three directions, and then asked, "Do you believe it or not?" ”
In fact, Zhong Wuregret was just gambling, he clicked a few times in the direction according to the principle of Qimen Dunjia, which was the five elements of gold and wood, wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, and fire and gold.
He thought that with the county magistrate here, the other party would never dare to do anything to them, and if he gambled right, at least it would be a great psychological pressure on the other party.
Anonymous said in a trembling voice: "I really can't imagine that a big thief has such profound means, but his intelligence is used in the wrong place, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
As soon as Zhong Wuregret heard her say "a big lewd thief", he knew that both sides were provocative.
He said with a big grin: "I am lewd, I confess, food and lust, human nature also." If there is no lewdness as you say, where does the population of Chu come from? The prosperity of a nation must begin with the reproduction of the population, why do all countries now have to marry women at fifteen and men at twenty, it is nothing more than for the prosperity of the people, saying that I am lewd is because I like beauty, what do you have to do with it? If you don't love beauty, how could Lady Peach Blossom come to Chu State? ”
Zhong Wuregret's words implied that because the king of Chu was lustful, he did not hesitate to snatch the beauty.
Zhong Wuregret continued: "I don't know why you want to kill me, but I'm not easy to kill, I just pretend that it didn't happen, and you don't want to trouble me in the future." What do you think? ”
Zhong Wuregret has already expressed his desire to stop fighting with the other party at this time, but he has also shown that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people offend me, I will offend others.
Anonymous was silent for a while and said, "Okay, we won't trouble you, but if others want to find it, it's not our business, what does Lord Zhong think?" ”
"Deal!" Zhong Wuregret stretched out his hand and was about to high-five as an oath, but when he thought that the other party was a woman, he immediately said: "I swore with you by high-five, but I am afraid that you will say that I will take the opportunity to eat your tofu, so we will swear by the case." "Let's just take a few shots of the case in front of you.
When Anonymous heard what tofu to eat, although he didn't understand, he knew that there were no good words from Zhong Wuregret's mouth, and although he didn't know what it meant, he had to learn Zhong Wuregret's case.
"Alright, Master Jia, we should go too." After saying that, he got up and left the "Dan Mansion" with the young Fu Jia Song and his party.
Before leaving, looking at the gossip array of "Dan Mansion", Zhong Wuregret suddenly remembered something.
