Feng Baobao and the fat man looked at the unobstructed lake in front of them, and secretly said, the master's hand of this tomb is really big enough, just building such a lake in such a deep underground cave, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money, plus the previous tombs that relied on the operation of the underground dark river mechanism, Wang Mang is really willing to spend money.

The two put their backpacks on the ground, Feng Baobao looked at the undisturbed lake, the lake water is not very clear, I don't know if it is because of the aquatic plants or turbidity, the center of the lake is vague from above, and it is vaguely unclear.

This time they didn't bring any diving equipment, so they brought a diving goggle, one to protect against the wind and the other to get into the water. Who would have thought that it was just a catacomb, but he had to go into the water one after another, Feng Baobao thought that he must buy a set of diving equipment next time he was upside down.

"There should be some graveyard or mechanism at the bottom of this lake that can lead to the tomb, I'll go down and investigate, you wait for me on it."

Feng Baobao said hello to the fat man, took off his boots again, took a few breaths, and plunged into the lake.

Feng Baobao's posture of jumping into the lake was very beautiful, without splashing, and then he brought a burst of churning in the lake water to the center of the lake.

The fat man was bored on it and looked around at the wall by the lake, most of the myths and stories depicted on the wall were some myths and stories, such as Houyi shooting the sun, Chang'e running to the moon, Jingwei reclamation, Pangu opening the sky, etc., I don't know how interested the tomb owner is in these myths and stories, the myths and legends from the mountains and seas in front of him to here are meticulously engraved on the wall, as if he was his own life and past.

The fat man sat on the backpack and waited for a while, about five minutes, Feng Baobao finally popped out of the lake, spit out a mouthful of lake water, and wiped the water on his face with his hand.

"There are eight doors down there." Feng Baobao asked the fat man to hand her the chalk and write and draw on the ground, "The eight doors below should also be built in the order of Qimen Bagua, each door leads to a different place, once you enter the wrong door, it may be a dead end, only one door can really lead to the tomb." But I feel like it's probably more than that, and I'll go down and watch it again later. ”

After hearing this, the fat man thought it was very novel, and for the first time he saw that there would be eight gates at the bottom of the lake, he discussed going down to see it.

So Feng Baobao stayed on the shore, the fat man took a few deep breaths, he was generally watery, so he put on diving goggles and jumped into the lake with a plop.

Hiss –

As soon as he jumped into the lake, the fat man felt that his hair was about to explode, it was like a frozen lake, and the lake water was cold without a trace of temperature.

Later, the fat man swam towards the center of the lake, opened his eyes and looked around, and the green was all moss, floating with the current.

Looking around from the center of the lake, sure enough, there is a stone door wide open in each of the eight directions, there is a lion's head hanging on the top of the stone door, and the door knocker is also polished on the stone door, and there are nine stone balls embedded in the horizontal and vertical sides of the door, that is, each door has 9981 stone balls. Looking from the outside, the inside of the stone gate is pitch black, and you can't see the situation inside.

After holding underwater for three or four minutes, the fat man floated up from the lake and climbed ashore.

Feng Baobao on the shore has already made a fire with solid alcohol, and the solid alcohol he brings weighs about two catties, which can keep it at 600 degrees Celsius and continue to burn for about six hours, which is enough for now.

The fat man also found a few stones and raised the box with solid alcohol, and then set it up like a small stove, and then took out dry cakes, beef jerky, and seed cakes and roasted them on the fire, and in a short time the aroma diffused out, and the smell made me have an appetite.

Feng Baobao flipped through the food on the side and said, "We've been busy all night, it's already daytime if you look at the watch, let's take a rest after eating and then think about going to the lake." ”

So the two grabbed a piece of dry cake in one hand, and ate it with beef jerky, and the stomach was fragrant before sleeping. Mainly because of the soreness of walking on his legs and feet, Feng Baobao and the fat man found a place to lie down and rest after eating hastily.

When the fat man woke up, five hours had passed, Feng Baobao was in the gossip map she had drawn, and she didn't know what she was doing, she put the compass on top of the chalk drawing, frowning and thinking about it.

The fat man didn't dare to disturb him, so he stepped aside to see the mural.

Not long after, Feng Baobao put down the chalk and said to the fat man, "I'll go to the lake again and see how these eight doors work, I suspect that only one door may be a life door, and the other doors are a dead end if they stray, this kind of thing must not be sloppy." ”

The fat man nodded, and saw Feng Baobao plunging into the lake again, there were no fish and shrimp and other animals in the lake, only some plankton roaming on the surface of the lake.

After a while, Feng Baobao floated up from the lake, climbed back to the shore, and took a breath before saying, "Sure enough, the arrangement of these eight doors is the same as the gossip, as long as you find the right door, you can enter the tomb from the door." ”

After speaking, Feng Baobao turned the compass placed on the gossip map, staring at the gossip map while looking at the compass, the gossip map she drew with a chalk head was depicted according to the direction of the eight doors at the bottom of the lake, and it was the connection of these eight doors that made up a somewhat crooked gossip map.

"The orientation of the ancients is different from now, and the current compass has changed too much, and the people at that time paid attention to 'up and down to the north, left east and right west', but this compass is 'up and down to the south, left west and right east', so the compass has to be placed upside down on the map to distinguish the correct direction.

Let me tell you, this so-called gossip is eight different hexagrams, the earliest was created by Taihao Fuxi, the legend of the head of the three emperors and five emperors Fuxi began to draw gossip in Tianshui Hexagram Taishan, a painting to open the sky. Bagua pays attention to the law of one yin and two yang, and can evolve into up to sixty-four different hexagrams, which can be used to calculate all things in the world. ”

Feng Baobao adjusted the direction of the compass while talking about the gossip things, and after seeing that the Sinan needle on the compass no longer rotated, he began to play with the sixty-four hexagrams on the outer layer of the gossip on the compass and said:

"Dry three times, Kun six broken, Zhen Yang Yu, Gen covered bowl, away from the void, full in the can, with the upper missing, Xun lower broken. The so-called gossip positioning, heaven and earth are ventilated, the sun and the moon are thin, and water and fire do not shoot each other. The hexagram is wrong, the number of the past is smooth, and the number of the coming is reversed, so it is easy to reverse the number.

Heaven respects and the earth is humble, it is the old heaven to live in the south, dry nine, to four, from three, Zhen eight, Xun two, Kan seven, Gen six, Kun one, yin and yang into eight trigrams, gossip into four elephants, four elephants out of two yi, two yi sheng taiji. ”

Looking at Feng Baobao carefully calculating the direction of these eight doors, although the fat man doesn't quite understand how these I Ching gossip is used, but he understands a little, how can he not study the I Ching, in the past, the fat man can be said to have worked hard and studied seriously, but the I Ching gossip is indeed rare to die, and he can't even draw the most basic gossip diagram.

However, the fat man knows that in recent years, gossip is no longer limited to the theory of feudal superstition, it has begun to go international, and more and more people have begun to recognize it.

For example, shortly after the discovery of Pluto, the observations were not accurate, and many people's attempts to predict the tenth planet failed one after another. Liu Zihua, a 27-year-old Chinese who was working in France at that time, discovered that there was a correspondence between the stars of the solar system and the trigrams of the eight trigrams. Based on this relationship, after repeated calculations, he finally calculated the average orbit of the tenth planet first. This is a great contribution made by Chinese scientists in modern times by using the ancient Tai Chi Bagua diagram to shake the world.

For example, when Leibniz, who was 54 years old at the time, was thinking about the creation of a multiplication machine and had no way out, he suddenly received the 'Fuxi 64 Hexagram Sequence Map' and the 'Fuxi 64 Hexagram Orientation Map' sent to him by his French missionary friend from Beijing, and Leibniz was greatly inspired by these two pictures.

Leibniz actually discovered that Bagua is the prototype of hieroglyphs, from the Kun hexagram through Gen, Kan, Xun, Zhen, Li, Dui to Qian, it is from zero to seven, such as eight natural numbers composed of a complete binary layered number shape. The 'one' in the Bagua is called the yang line, which is equivalent to the '1' in binary, and the '--' in the Bagua is called the yin line, which is equivalent to the '0' in binary. The sixty-four hexagrams are the complete binary number forms of the sixty-four natural numbers from 0 to 63, and the eight trigrams belong to the eighth-order matrix in mathematics.

In short, I Ching gossip is a kind of mysterious thing, like a fat man, and he understands some external fur, but Feng Baobao is very proficient in writing and drawing with a chalk head on the ground.

The fat man looked at her lying on the ground for a while, and finally stood up and shouted excitedly: "Shengmen is in Xun, according to the direction we are now facing the lake, what we see is north, what we are standing on is south, Xun is in the southeast corner, that is, the stone gate in the southeast corner is Shengmen!" ”
