Chapter 278: The Identity of Aconite
In another corner of the urn city, the aconitum and others gathered looked at the darkness and guessed the content of the conversation between Hu Shen and Tang Anshu at this time.
At this moment, Raimaru once again saw the elusive woman in white.
The woman in white was standing not far from him, and although she was in the dark, Raimaru could still see her clearly, but she couldn't see anything else around her.
Raimaru looked at the woman and saw that the woman was just staring at him, so he turned to benzoin and asked, "Did you see that?" ”
Benzoin asked, "What?" ”
Raimaru pointed to the woman's position, "There, the woman reappeared. ”
Benzoin still didn't see anything: "I didn't see it, why are you the only one who sees it?" ”
Aconite heard the conversation between the two and stepped forward to ask, "What are you talking about?" What do you see? ”
Raimaru didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell the truth about the mysterious woman before.
After hearing this, the aconite head looked at Raimaru with suspicion: "It should be you dazzled, right?" Or are you poisoned? ”
Benzoin immediately explained for Raimaru: "No, I also saw it in the wreck before, and there is indeed a woman in white. ”
Aconite asked, "If that's the case, why is the woman's clothes different every time you see them?" ”
Raimaru didn't know how to explain it, but Mimi on the side was extremely surprised, after all, aconitum on weekdays would not be like this, he didn't have such a strong suspicion of his subordinates, he had always used people without suspicion, and suspects didn't need to use people.
Raimaru was still looking at the woman not far away, and the more he looked at this environment, the more scared he felt.
After Tang Anshu and Hu Shen returned from a distance, Wutou immediately stepped forward and said, "How did you get out of here?" ”
Hu Shen said: "It's time for detoxification, no matter what the rest of the people are, they all have to die." ”
The aconite head was silent, and Benzoin stepped forward to bleed Hu Shen again, and then distributed it to the rest of the people who had not been detoxified.
After the rest of the people drank blood to detoxify, Aconitum asked impatiently, "How to leave?" ”
Hu Shen looked at Zhang Dingfeng: "Dingfeng." ”
Zhang Dingfeng handed the Night Pearl to Tang She: "Help me palm the light, don't lose this Night Pearl." ”
Tang She held the Night Pearl in his hand, stood behind Zhang Dingfeng, and saw Zhang Dingfeng take out a piece of limestone, a piece of ink stone and a piece of cinnabar, and asked everyone to get out of the way and began to draw on the ground.
Everyone looked at it suspiciously, not knowing what Zhang Dingfeng was doing, and Hu Shen didn't explain, just closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking.
After Zhang Dingfeng drew for a while, Tang Anshu found that what he drew was a gossip map, and then the gossip map was derived from the sixty-four hexagram maps, but Zhang Dingfeng took out the compass and put it there to calculate while drawing.
Yexin leaned in and asked, "What is he drawing?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Sixty-four hexagrams, but the hexagram order is wrong. ”
Of course, Yexin doesn't understand what it means, the so-called hexagram order refers to the arrangement of hexagrams.
Since ancient times, the arrangement of hexagrams is different, the Zhou Dynasty Taibu has three "Yi", "Lianshan" is headed by the Gen hexagram, and "Guizang" is headed by the Kun hexagram, and "Zhou Yi" is headed by the Qiangua.
However, the hexagram sequences in the "Yuan Bao" of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the "Congenital Order" of the Northern Song Dynasty were different.
Legend has it that in the book "Jingfang Yi Chuan", the hexagram order is arranged according to the relationship between the hexagrams, so as to explain the changes that occur due to the change of the hexagrams, and the hexagram order of "Yuan Bao" is somewhat similar to that of "Jingfang Yi Chuan", but the order of the eight palaces of the latter has been adjusted.
At present, what Zhang Dingfeng drew on the ground should be in accordance with the "Fuxi Sixty-four Hexagram Sequence Diagram", in which the square diagram has eight rows and eight lines, a total of sixty-four hexagrams, and the Kun hexagram to the concubine hexagram in the square diagram is arranged in an arc from right to left, and the compound hexagram to the Kun hexagram is arranged from left to right to replace the arc, and the combination of the two arcs is exactly a circle, and this circle is Taiji.
In Tai Chi, from the Qiangua to the Compound Hexagram, it happens to conform to the internal logic of easy counting, that is, "those who count the past are smooth, and those who know the future are reversed".
However, Zhang Dingfeng's drawing made slight adjustments, making the entire arrangement of the sixty-four hexagrams look very strange.
Tang Anshu turned his head and asked Hu Shen at this time: "This hexagram arrangement is a bit strange?" ”
Hu Shen explained: "All the adjacent hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams must maintain a dependence relationship of survival, Qian is the sky, Kun is the first, and heaven and earth intersect to give birth to all things, so the two hexagrams of Qiankun are the first of the sixty-four hexagrams." The second is the Tun hexagram, which has the meaning of the beginning of all things. ”
Zhang Dingfeng, who painted the painting, continued: "The second is the hexagram, which means that all things are born, then the need hexagram, which represents waiting, and finally the both good and unfinished, which means that all things are boundless, endless, and infinite. ”
Huanghuang asked, "Why do you want to draw this?" What's the use? ”
Hu Shen said: "It's to turn the living into the dead, that's why the arrangement of the hexagram becomes so strange, the hexagram I use is actually a formation, and I tried my best to get it from a coffin opener, but it doesn't work, I have to try." ”
The living become dead? Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other, not knowing what Hu Shen was going to do.
Hu Shen was not in a hurry to explain, and waited for Zhang Dingfeng to continue painting, this painting was an hour, and when the painting was almost finished, Hu Shen looked at everyone: "You come forward one by one, report your birthday, starting from Aconite." ”
Aconitum hesitated and asked, "Why did you start with me?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Then let's start with Tang Anshu." ”
After Tang Anshu reported it, Hu Shen calculated and said: "You stand on top of the need hexagram, and you go down to the hurdle." ”
Tang Anshu stood up according to what Hu Shen said, followed by Ye Xin, who stood in the hexagram position, and the rest of the people also stood according to what Hu Shen said after reporting their birthdays.
Hu Shen also stood in his position at this time, and explained: "This formation is called "Ten Zhangs and Sixty-four Hexagrams", and the legend is that it is prepared for those who want to use their physical bodies to enter the underworld. ”
As he spoke, Hu Shen motioned to Zhang Dingfeng to take out the rune paper and distribute it, and said at the same time: "Pinch it in your hand, if the rune paper is cracked, it means that it is effective." ”
It's also strange to say that not long after Tang Anshu got the rune paper, the rune paper was as if it had been cut open with scissors, and the rune paper in the hands of the rest of the people also had the same situation, but just like that, there was no other change.
Hu Shen frowned and said, "No, how can this be?" Everybody hold up the rune paper! ”
According to what Hu Shen said, everyone raised the rune paper in their hands, and Tang Anshu found that the last one to raise it was the aconite, and the aconite's expression was a little panicked, obviously the rune paper was torn by himself.
Hu Shen looked at the rune paper in the hand of the aconitum and said, "Aconite!" Your birthday is definitely not right! ”
Aconite quibbled: "Why do you say that my birth date is wrong? ”
Hu Shen said: "The method I used just now is the same as the broken tile when I was buried, but in this formation, the rune paper is used instead of the tile, as long as the eight characters of the birthday match, the rune paper should be broken, but your rune paper is obviously torn by yourself!" ”
When the aconite was about to say something, he found that a looming white shadow appeared behind the male yellow beside him.
At that moment, Xionghuang froze and slowly turned his head to look at the white shadow.
At this time, white shadows also appeared around everyone, and those white shadows were tall and short, fat and thin, and from the point of view of their posture, their genders seemed to be different.
Yexin was frightened and asked, "Anshu, what is this?" ”
Tang Anshu looked at Hu Shen, he wasn't sure what it was.
Hu Shen said calmly: "These things are the things that stay here in place of us, except for the aconitum, we can all leave our original positions." ”
Everyone left their original positions, and their eyes were fixed on the aconitum standing there in a bit of panic.
Aconitum was just about to come out, but Hu Shen said: "If you come out now, you will die, you will really die, you are not Aconite, this formation will not be wrong." ”
Not Aconitum aconitum !? Xionghuang and Yumi and the others were startled, and looked at the aconitum standing there with a fierce face.
Tang Anshu said at this time: "On the clouds, how long do you plan to disguise!" ”
Aconite, no, Yun Shang ripped off the disguise on his face, revealed his original appearance, and said viciously: "It turns out that all this you have done is to expose me, Hu Shen, you really have a set!" ”
Those few wind-covered killers looked at the clouds in amazement, the clouds were obviously dead, how could it be?
Le Zhengxian said: "On the clouds, when we were attacked by skeletons, you switched identities with Aconite, right?" ”
Hu Shen shook his head and said: "No, Aconitum has long been dead, on the first night we went to Cangcheng, he killed Aconite, disguised Aconite, and made his subordinates dress up as himself." ”
The reason why the cloud wants to do this is firstly to protect himself, and secondly, to kill other people.
Yun Shang knew that the reason why Hu Shen protected the aconitum was to leave the aconitum to deal with himself, so it was safest to disguise himself as the aconite.
Moreover, if Tang Anshu, Xionghuang and the others entered Cangcheng safe and sound, and after the two sides encountered again, they could disguise themselves as aconitum and kill the so-called clouds, so that everyone thought that the biggest threat had been eliminated.
Next, just as he did before, he would deliberately leave those killers of Feng Manlou, and then, find a way to slowly weaken the power of Tang Anshu and others in the next process, kill the people in the trenches, and only leave the killers of Feng Manlou, so that when he reveals his true face, Feng Manlou will have an absolute numerical advantage.
However, what Yun Shang didn't expect was that Hu Shen was quietly poisoned, and after the poisoning, all his plans and deployments were disrupted, and under the premise that there was no way, in order not to let others suspect, when he was detoxified for the first time, Yun Shang could only preemptively kill the fake aconitum, simply destroy his subordinates, and use the identity of the aconitum to control the remaining trenches.
However, Hu Shen's words resolved the crisis, and Yunshang had to follow the crowd, listen to everyone's opinions, and detoxify part of it first.
At that time, Yunshang was in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to take sides, so he had to choose five from each of the people in the wind and the trench for detoxification.
After detoxification, the rain of fire on the lamp fell, and most of the Feng Manlou killers died, and after weighing the pros and cons, Aconitum decided to continue to use the identity of Aconite, after all, the combat power of the trench was far stronger than the five killers who survived.
However, he never expected that Tang Anshu stood up at a critical time and saved the lives of those five people.
After Hu Shen speculated on what he had done on the clouds, he looked at the four Fengmanlou killers: "This is the true face of your boss, and I also said that he is a lone man, just using you, if it weren't for Tang Anshu, the four of you would have died a long time ago, next, how to choose, you pick yourself." ”
