When people use Bagua to calculate the direction, they will always tilt to the left by one degree, and this error has continued until the appearance of Zu Chongzhi of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, who calculated the circle and put forward the saying that the earth is round.

This statement, in the eyes of the people at the time, was extremely ridiculous. There is a good saying, there is only a thin line between a genius and a madman, Zu Chongzhi did not give up his idea, through the observation of celestial phenomena and the use of a large amount of data, it took ten years, and finally, he became more and more sure that the earth is round.

However, there is a lot of evidence, and it is a bunch of data, which may be useful for those professionals. However, for some ordinary people, those data are bean sprouts, to put it bluntly, they just can't understand it.

In desperation, Zu Chongzhi put the abacus on the gossip, and his method was very simple, putting a round stone under the gossip.

It was such a simple action, and he found that as long as he put a round stone under the bagua, the direction of the gossip was particularly accurate, and this method has continued to this day.

Originally, some later books on gossip could have been modified, but, out of respect for the sacred book of the I Ching, the error has persisted, and some feng shui masters have also used to putting a round stone under the gossip.

Of course, these are folklore, and there is no historical record. However, the so-called history, that is, history, and what is recorded in the history books may not be true, after all, books are written by people, who can guarantee that the people who write history books have no selfish intentions? Moreover, people in ancient times were very concerned about their own knowledge, for fear that outsiders would learn and inevitably hide their secrets.

It's far away, let's get down to business.

After I put the Bagua on the round stone, I squatted down and placed a map of the twenty-four mountains with small stones around the Bagua.

This practice is to use the gossip combined with the twenty-four sitting directions of the mountain, and you can roughly see where the 'potential' of the mountain is. This is the true purpose of gossip.

I squatted on the ground and took a general look, and found that the exchange in the gossip had a vague posture of 'potential', and I was stunned, could it be that the 'potential' was in the direction of the exchange?

Dingqing looked at the direction of Dui for a while, and the direction of Dui governed the three directions of Gengyouxin in the middle of the twenty-four mountains, and I stared at it in the twenty-four mountain direction for a while.

To be honest, it was the first time I used this method, and I wasn't very sure, but I also relied on the gourd to draw such a method in the manuscript of the old hero.

After squatting on the ground for a while, I didn't find a specific direction, only knew the general direction of the exchange. However, the direction of Dui is too large, and one direction must be found in the map of the twenty-four mountains, so that it is convenient to find the tomb.

"Brother Nine, did you make a mistake in the map of the twenty-four mountains?" Su Mengke saw that I was looking for a direction with a condensed face, and reminded.

Hearing her say this, I glanced at the twenty-four mountains on the map, yes, it is placed in the direction of the twelve earthly branches, the eight stems and the four dimensions, it should be right.

However, why is the Bagua shown in the direction of Dui, while the three directions in the Twenty-Four Mountains are not abnormal at all?

This is not in line with the rules at all, you know, the old hero said in the manuscript that as long as you put the gossip and the twenty-four mountain maps according to this method, you will definitely be able to find the 'potential' of a mountain, and in the manuscript, the old hero's tone is very positive.

And what's going on in this situation now?

I was puzzled, I was about to scratch my scalp, Su Mengke on the side spoke again, she said, "Brother Jiu, is it the reason why the etiquette is not done?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I felt that she was right, don't look at it as just a picture, once it is placed, it will have a 'spirit', and the person who puts the picture must bow to it and awaken the 'spirit' to be useful.

Thinking of this, I immediately stood up and got into the tent, Guo Fat and the stammering were falling asleep, I didn't care about them, I turned out a pound of yellow paper, three pillars of fragrance, and a pair of candles from the duffel bag.

Taking out these things, I did not rush to worship the 'spirit', but to wash up, when I went out, I was certainly not so particular at home, I rinsed a few times with mineral water, and as for washing my face, I also wiped it with water at will.

After getting these things, I was afraid that the mineral water was not pure enough, so I collected some dew nearby, washed my hands, and (note: these dews are rootless water) before I came to the twenty-four mountain map.

I first made three strokes towards the map of the 24 mountains, and then lit yellow paper, incense, and candles, and burned the east of the map of the 24 mountains.

After the yellow paper was burned, I was worried that this would not be enough, so I turned out the old hero's birth date, planning to calculate a hexagram for the old hero, and it should be easier to find the tomb in the way of hexagram.

The reason why I tell the fortune of the old hero is that the old hero has found the tomb before, and the tomb has his qi residue, and the second is that the fortune can make the direction more accurate and can avoid many detours.

The so-called hexagram is actually very simple, according to the order of the acquired gossip and a person's birth year, and then with the corresponding formula, a person's life hexagram can be obtained.

The order of the gossip of the day after tomorrow is: Kan 1, Kun 2, Zhen 3, Xun 4, and 5 are the middle palace, Qianliu, Dui, Gen, and Lijiu.

The calculation method is divided into men and women, and the year 2000 is used as the round. The formula for calculating the male fortune hexagram born before 2000 is 100 - the last two digits at the end of the birth year, and then divide it by 9, and the number obtained corresponds to the order of the acquired gossip, you can know what the fortune hexagram is, and if the remainder is 5, it is considered Kun hexagram. (If the female remainder is 5, it is considered a hexagram.) ）

The formula for male fortune hexagrams after 2000 is 99 - the last two digits at the end of the year of birth, divided by 9, and the resulting number corresponds to the order of the acquired eight trigrams.

The formula for female fortune hexagrams after 2000 is a bit different, the last two digits at the end of the year of birth +6 and then divided by 9, the resulting number corresponds to the order of the day after tomorrow.

Among the eight major life hexagrams, the four lives of Kan, Li, Zhen and Xun are the four lives of the east, and the four lives of Qian, Kun, Gen and Dui belong to the four lives of the west.

The yang house of the east four lives must be matched with the east four houses, the yang house of the west four lives must be matched with the west four houses, and the yin house, that is, the tomb, on the contrary, the east four lives with the west four houses, pay attention to the integration of yin and yang, in feng shui, this is an auspicious position.

I calculated the old hero's fortune hexagram, he was born in 1907, according to the formula, 100-07 is equal to 93 and then divided by 9, the remainder is 3, (Note: The remainder is, 93 divided by 9, the remaining 3 cannot be divided, this 3 is the remainder.) ）

3 corresponds to the earthquake in the gossip of the day after tomorrow, and the earthquake position belongs to the four lives of the east, and the auspicious position of his yin house is the west......

In the previous gossip, it was shown that the exchange side of Taihang Mountain had a 'potential', and the exchange represented the West in the gossip, and the combination of the two, the old hero's yin house must be in the west.

With this result, I realized why the old hero asked me to come to Taihang Mountain, and he had already told his fortune for himself.

Thinking of this, I put the old hero's birthday on the gossip square, and something strange happened.
