Chapter Fifty-Eight: Eight Formations
Eight array diagrams, that is Zhuge Liang's retreat to Lu Xun back then, and the principle of it is Qimen Dunjia. As we all know, the Three Kingdoms was a matter after the Han Dynasty, but it stands to reason that it is not uncommon for the Han Dynasty to have such capable people and strange people to design mausoleums, after all, Zhang Liang, one of the three masters of the early Han Dynasty, was subject to the military book of the old man Huangshi, and the Qimen Dunjia was streamlined.
Many of the books I've read before are about Qimen Dunjia, like "Sun Tzu", "Tianyi Dunjia Jing", "Dunjia Fu Jing", and "Yin Fu Jing". "Qi" is B, C, and Ding; The "door" is to rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, open the eight doors; "遁" is a hidden meaning, and "Jia" refers to Liujia, that is, Jiazi, Jiashu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin. And the eight gates of the Bagua Array are these eight gates. In the eight gates of opening, rest, and life are the three auspicious gates, death, shock, and injury are the three fierce doors, and the Du Gate and Jingmen are in the middle of the level, and the eight doors belong to each of the five elements, and the door belongs to the gold, the water of the rest of the door, the soil of the birth door, the wood of the wounded door, the wood of the door, the fire of the Jingmen, the soil of the dead door, and the gold of the shocking door. In the prediction activities, they often use the situation of their falling palace, that is, with the five elements of the palace where they fall, Shengke and Wangxiang, to determine the auspicious and the bad, and break the response period. Therefore, Qimen Dunjia is extremely complicated, although I have read a few books, I only know a general idea, and I can't use it freely.
However, the sixth master didn't pay attention to my reaction, took out a dark yellow compass from the cloth bag, and muttered, "I didn't expect that I would use this when I went to the tomb."
I looked at him, and saw that he was holding a compass in his left hand and illuminating it with his right hand, turning around and adjusting his angle in place, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the entrance of the thief's cave, muttering to himself from time to time, and it took a while to put the compass away.
"You two hear clearly, this tomb is very powerful. This knife is gold, and only the door opening and the door are gold, and we must have broken through the door now. He paused.
I picked up the conversation and said: "Sixth Master, it's not that I doubt you, the ancients said: Jimen is not allowed to be Keji, and the murderous door is not cheap; Jimen has great benefits in life, and evil men have to avoid disasters. Jimenke Palace is not good, and the murder Menke Palace is even more fierce. Opening the door is also golden, if it falls on Li, Xun, and Zhengong, it is not auspicious. ”
I'm actually really playing the drum in my heart, if it's really like I said, the arrangement of the eight doors here is mixed with the gossip, then the arrangement will be even more confusing, if you use the permutations and combinations, the possibilities are hundreds. Therefore, the ancients were very simple in arrangement, and if we can't grasp the clue correctly, we probably won't be able to get out.
The sixth master smiled after hearing this, and then said: "I didn't expect you to know a lot, but you only know one and don't know the other, or are you too young, think about it, is it necessary for him to make a mess of the feng shui of his tomb in order to prevent tomb robbers?" I just spent so long, is to correspond to the tomb and the direction, calculate the pattern here only need eight doors to fall into the main palace, that is, eight doors of Fu Yin, it is enough, Fu Yin is not good for the guest, to put it simply, if we turn around in it, how many people come are not enough to die. ”
"Sixth master, just say, what am I going to do, I don't understand this." The third child listened impatiently, he obviously didn't understand this.
I'm a little better than him, at least I have some points in my heart, and I said that the sixth master really has some knowledge, or tomb robbing technology. In fact, when I read the book before, I also thought that there is no need to put Feng Shui aside as a pseudoscience when it comes to discovering ancient tombs. As the saying goes, follow the customs of the locals, and treat the ancients as the same, they believe in Feng Shui, which is their science, and to discover their ancient tombs, you have to rely on Feng Shui.
I also thought that if all the Jinshi majors studied Feng Shui, it would be a good thing to be able to discover the ancient tombs before the tomb robbers, and then protect them before they happen.
I was thinking about it, and the sixth master continued: "What the hell are you in a hurry, and you are not in a hurry for a while." As long as I'm right, we're now directly west of the main burial chamber, to seven, so there should be seven knives, and six are left near us. If you want to get out of this formation, it's not difficult, now go to the north and northeast, that is, open the door, close the door, and give birth to the Sanjimen, although Fu Yin is not good for guests, but the good luck should be better than here, and it is not easy to kill, we will get there first, and then think about entering the main tomb, do you understand? ”
The third child and I both nodded, and the sixth master instructed again: "I have seen the direction just now, you just follow me." Let's go slower, the oil lamps shine everywhere, and we are not blind, and it is impossible for such a big knife not to see. You, give me the hammer. ”
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to me, and although I was reluctant in my heart, I reluctantly gave it to him. The sixth master held the oil lamp in his right hand, and held the iron chisel in front of his chest with his left hand, protecting the front of his head and neck, I knew he was just in case. In fact, he could have let me, an "outsider", go ahead, but he didn't, and I don't know why, could it be that he trusted me so much?
The three of us, very close, continued to move in the direction just now, we must have gone deep into the shocking door, because we were worried about the mechanism, we were moving very slowly this time, and we had to carefully observe whether there was a mechanism around us when we took a step. Gradually, we saw that some of the road entrances were very narrow, some were very hidden, and most of them were not completely straight, so we may have walked crookedly in them before and we didn't realize it, and we didn't notice when we walked into other intersections when chasing our second nephew. This must be the design of the "Ecstasy" of the Ecstasy Array, so the labyrinth and Qimen Dunjia can not be described as dangerous, I don't know which master left the masterpiece in the Han Dynasty.
The sixth master took us to walk slowly in his direction, looking up at the entrance of the thief cave from time to time, and I also followed him to look up, indeed getting farther and farther, although I didn't know the direction, but at least I didn't go back.
After walking for a while, the sixth master suddenly stopped, he motioned for us to shine together to a light, sure enough, the strong light gathered, there was a very thin gold wire across in front of us, only about the height of knees, the sixth master used an oil lamp to shine on the surrounding yellow intestine inscription wood, sure enough, in an inconspicuous gap, the blade reflected the cold light. At this distance, as long as we take five steps forward, the knife will pop out, and it is really unknown whether the iron drill can withstand this blow at that time.
The sixth master asked the two of us to step back, he measured the distance by himself, slowly leaned over and hit the gold wire with an iron drill, the moment the line fell, he kicked himself back with a sharp kick, and I saw that the knife ejected almost at the same time as him, and slashed on the wood with a thud. Fortunately, the sixth master is still some distance away, otherwise the speed may not be able to escape this knife.
Successfully cracked a mechanism, the sixth master became more and more confident, he let us take a picture of both sides, and he kept taking a picture of the height of the lower body, and found and cracked the remaining five gold thread bullet knives, we were all relieved, although we did not relax our guard, but nine times out of ten it was already over.
According to the sixth master, we are heading north. If you break the door of the Seven Knife Mechanism, you should be able to enter the door. But I vaguely feel that this matter will not be so simple, what the sixth master said just now is right, the eight gates fall into the main palace, and the lord is not good for guests, not to mention us uninvited guests.
However, the frightened door master is frightened and traumatized, and it is also relatively autumnal, and the golden autumn lord kills, so it is perfect to kill people with a golden blade. And what about opening the door?
I thought about it for a long time, and the opening of the door seems to have nothing to do with murder and killing, and the idiom "opening the door is auspicious" means that the opening of the door is very auspicious. But being here, I can't connect with the word Daji. But no matter how much you think about it, it's in vain, it's better to take one step at a time.
Just when my mind was full of things that I didn't have, the sixth master suddenly stopped again, we followed him, it was also a sudden brake, and I thought I had found the mechanism again, and I was about to cry out in my heart, and suddenly felt that there was something bright in front of me.
I looked closely, and the front was indeed a good thing. Six pieces of gold bread, the size and shape of which resembled a baked cake, hung as far as our eyes could see.
Somehow, I was a little excited when I saw this scene. After two or three seconds, though, I felt like it wasn't particularly right. For no reason, there was no coffin or coffin, and six pieces of gold cakes appeared, you said that this was used for burial, and it was not neatly placed, so it had to be displayed in front of our eyes alone and abruptly in this strange way.
I suddenly realized that this should be the opening of the door, and the opening is also golden, and for Qianliu, then write six gold cakes...... That's right.
I said to the sixth master, "It seems that we have reached the door."
"That's right." He replied softly, but I could hear that he was visibly absent-minded, thinking about something else.
I also looked over there again, and there was a gold cake hanging under the thin line, and this shape seemed familiar, what did this look like? Bait!
Thinking of this, I felt a chill behind my back, and it seemed that there might be a trap when I opened the door. I said to the sixth master, "Do you think this golden cake looks like a fishing bait?"
He nodded: "That's what I mean, too." It's just that I've just searched for it, and I haven't found out where the mechanism is. He looked left and right again, "Hey, old fool! As he spoke, he led us back a few steps, and then began to shine the oil lamp upwards. Since the space in the tomb is not small, the effect of the light is not very good, so we put three oil lamps together and look up along the thread where the gold cake is hung.
What I saw made me tremble.
