Chapter 19: Directions
Yi Xingchen said: "Then where did she go without her?" Tang Xiaoqi shook her head: "She didn't say it, she never let others ask about her work, and I don't dare to ask." She is very stern and fierce, don't look at her usually good to me, in fact, I am still a little afraid of her in my heart, I knew this, even if she scolded me, I had to ask her where she went. What now? Did something happen to her? Tang Xiaoqi's eyes were red, and there was crying in her voice. Don't worry, let me do the math and see where she might go. "The hexagram that Yi Xingchen calculated for Mei Lengxiang last night once prompted her to run to the temple to hide, if Mei Lengxiang did what he suggested, then she should be found in the temple. The inherited memory told him that there were more than 20 temples and Taoist temples in Tunzhou City, most of which were located outside the city. You can't look for them one by one. Yi Xingchen decided to calculate a hexagram and determine the specific direction of searching. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he heard a rooster outside the yard that he didn't know whose house it was. He immediately made a note of the sound of the rooster crowing, divided into three segments. According to the animal hexagram method, the first sound is the upper hexagram, that is, the dry hexagram, and the last two sounds are the lower hexagram, which is the exchange hexagram, and the exchange hexagram represents due west in the direction. And the memory of the inheritance told him that there were three temples due west, two in the city and one outside the city. Time is pressing, although there are only three, you can't look for them one by one, and you have to narrow down the scope again. Yi Xingchen nervously thought about the three-dimensional hexagram in his mind, the upper mutual hexagram was the fire hexagram, he judged that she would encounter a fire attack in a mansion, and he told her not to fall in love, but to escape immediately and hide in the temple. At that time, Mei Lengxiang said that there was really a temple near the mansion. And if the other party takes a fire attack, the mansion will definitely catch fire, as long as you find the mansion that is on fire, you can determine which temple it is! Yi Xingchen immediately said to Tang Xiaoqi: "Let's go, go west, and ask where the fire is." "To the west?" Tang Xiaoqi was a little surprised, "What are you doing there?" It seems that my sister went south when she went out, so we should go south to find it? Yi Xingchen said: "Then you go to the south to find it, I'll go to the west, let's go separately." "No, I'm going to follow you." Tang Xiaoqi pouted, and didn't dare to insist on going to the south to find it, so she had to follow Yi Xingchen. Yi Xingchen came to the back room and said to the master who was sleeping soundly, "Master, I have something urgent to go out and come back soon." Gongsun He hummed, waved his hand, turned over and fell asleep. Yi Xingchen closed the door and took Tang Xiaoqi out of the alley. Yi Xingchen said: "Time is pressing, it's too slow to rely on your feet, I'm afraid of delaying a big event, or hire a carriage, right?" I don't have any money, though. All the money for the fortune teller yesterday was given to the master. Tang Xiaoqi said: "My money is only about ten yuan, and it is not enough to hire a carriage." Uncle took someone out to find Sister Meizi again, but he hasn't come back yet. I can't touch the money in the money cabinet of the pharmacy, and the account office won't give me money. Uncle had already ordered it. Without him, no one could touch a penny of the tent. However, if you find Sister Meizi, she can pay for the car. "Well, it depends on whether the handlebar style is willing to catch the car first and pay later." The two stopped several rental carriages on the street, and heard that they went to several temples in the west to find people, and offered 160 yuan, but they refused to pay less. And you have to pay for the car first, otherwise you don't go. Tang Xiaoqi said anxiously: "Otherwise, let's walk on our feet, it's not a way to wait like this." Yi Xingchen could only nod and followed Tang Xiaoqi to the west of the city. When they finally arrived at the first temple in the west, they asked a few residents if there was a fire last night, and they all shook their heads and said no. One said that he saw a fire outside the south of the city last night, and it may have been a fire somewhere outside the city. Tang Xiaoqi asked curiously: "What are you asking about the fire?" Yi Xingchen ran all the way, he was so tired and out of breath, how could he have the strength to explain, and he couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he only gasped and said intermittently: "I count hexagrams...... Calculate...... Come out ......, keep running! Tang Xiaoqi wanted him to explain how it was calculated, but it can be seen that Yi Xingchen ran forward panting, where did he have time to talk to her about the hexagram, so he had to follow with his head down. It is still far from another temple in the south of the city, Yi Xingchen has no martial arts, he trotted all the way, he was already tired and panting like a cow before, and he couldn't even breathe at this moment, and stopped from time to time to rest with his hands on his knees. Tang Xiaoqi has martial arts, and it is not a problem to run this part of the road, seeing that Yi Xingchen is panting like an old cow, and her forehead is full of sweat, she originally urged Yi Xingchen to hurry up, but now seeing him like this, she was angry and said: "Forget it, I'll take you away, we have no money to hire a car, so we can only rely on our feet." So, Tang Xiaoqi reached out and grabbed Yi Xingchen's arm, supported his armpit, and ran forward almost half-lifted. With this leverage, Yi Xingchen saved a lot of energy, so he persevered. Ran all the way to another temple near the edge of the city before stopping. Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, this little girl saw her Heavenly Maiden Scattering Secret Weapon Kung Fu yesterday, and thought that this small technique was powerful, but she didn't expect that her endurance and strength were very good, which was really impressive. Here I asked a few more houses if there was a fire in this area, and they all said no, and a few people proved that they saw a fire in the west outside the city last night, which seemed to be near the Bodhi Temple. Bodhi Temple is a Buddhist temple outside the city, halfway up a hill outside the city. There is a village down the hill. It's not far from the city gates. As soon as he heard this, Yi Xingchen suddenly perked up and told Tang Xiaoqi that Mei Lengxiang was likely to be in Bodhi Temple. Tang Xiaoqi suddenly came to his senses, and ran forward with Yi Xingchen on his feet. The two ran out of the West City Gate in one breath, and ran forward for a while, and then arrived at the foot of the Bodhi Temple Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a small village, and standing at the entrance of the village, you can see that there is a large house in the village, which has been burned to the ground, and it is in ruins. Many of the remnants of the wood are still smoking. There were many villagers still talking there, and some were looking for something to use in the ashes. Yi Xingchen didn't come forward to ask, he had already seen a temple located in the middle of the mountain. With a finger of his hand, he said, "Quick, let's go directly to the temple!" The two of them went up the hill out of breath and finally arrived in front of the temple. This temple occupies a wide area, and the incense is also vigorous, and there is an endless stream of people who come to worship the Buddha. Although the current emperor believes in Taoism, there is no prohibition on the spread of Buddhism, so Buddhist temple incense is still flourishing. The two of them panted and entered the temple, running all the way, although Tang Xiaoqi has martial arts, but after all, he is young, and he is supporting Yi Xingchen all the way, far more tired than Yi Xingchen, so he is also tired and sweaty, his hands are crossed on Xiaoman's waist and panting, and he said to Yi Xingchen: "Let, when we go to ......, where to find it, Sister Meizi ......?" Yi Xingchen looked up and saw that the temples were stacked one after another, and he couldn't help but cry out bitterly. The temple is so wide, and it is full of pilgrims, but where can they find it? Tang Xiaoqi saw where Yi Xingchen was standing at a loss, and he glanced at him angrily and said, "I told you, my sister is going to the south, you have to go to the west, and you don't know where to find it when you get here?" Aren't we going around blindly? I'm tired to death, you hurry up and find a way, or let's go to the south to find it. But I can't run, you have to carry me! Yi Xingchen said: "What's the hurry, let me do a hexagram and see how to find it." "Okay, then you can do it, I'm exhausted." Yi Xingchen looked around, thinking about how to make a hexagram. He wanted to follow the sound, but there were many pilgrims around, and the voices were noisy, so he didn't know which sound to follow, and he wanted to start a hexagram with rice, but there was no rice at hand. When I looked up, there was a peach tree in the corner of the wall, full of peach blossoms, which was very beautiful. He walked quickly to the peach tree, stretched out his hand to pick a peach blossom, took it in his hand, and counted it, there were eight in all. According to this number, the upper hexagram is called the kun hexagram. He plucked another peach blossom, took it in his hand, and counted it, and this time there were twelve. Take down the hexagram as a shock hexagram.
The hexagram formed in his head surprised him, the upper hexagram is Kun, the lower hexagram is shock, from the second hexagram to the top six hexagrams, all of them are yin, and only the bottom is a lone yang.
