Chapter 82: Qimen Dunjia

Zuo Dengfeng laughed when he heard this, most of the women in Nanjing were ruined to death by the devils, and most of the rest were security elements who retreated when the devils saw it, and it was already good that the bronze armor could find a woman.

After quickly grazing out more than ten miles to shake off the bronze armor, Zuo Dengfeng found a restaurant and had a simple meal, and after asking the location of the Nanjing Library, he went out to look for the live fish he bought.

The library is located on an inclined road in the north of the city, covers an area of not small, is an old former Qing Dynasty building, there are more than 20 large houses, the outer courtyard wall, the iron door is locked, the staff has long run out, and it is dark inside.

Seeing that the library was not burned down, Zuo Dengfeng secretly rejoiced, fortunately the devil was not interested in these books, otherwise he would definitely not be able to preserve them so completely.

There were not many living people left in Nanjing City, and there were fewer people on the road at night, Zuo Dengfeng jumped straight into the courtyard, and after entering the courtyard, Zuo Dengfeng found that the library and the archives were together, and there were signs hanging on the doors of each house, and the signs were written about the types of books stored inside, most of them were books of modern science, Zuo Dengfeng had little interest in science, in his opinion, science has been developing, and the current science will be replaced by new science in one hundred and eighty years. The only thing worth studying is history, history is what has happened, what has happened will never change, and it is possible to find out some kind of underlying law and essence by studying these things that have happened.

However, he didn't come here to understand anything, he came to consult historical materials, so Zuo Dengfeng quickly found the room where the ancient history was located, twisted the door lock, and pushed the door in.

The house is full of bookshelves, compared with the library of Wendeng County Cultural Institute, the library in Nanjing City is much larger, the scale is more than ten times that of the former, the age of the books is classified in great detail, and the collection of books is also large.

After entering the house, Thirteen snatched the fish in Zuo Dengfeng's hand and ran away, Zuo Dengfeng found the relevant books that recorded the history of the Shang and Zhou dynasties according to the index on the bookshelf, these books were compiled by later generations, because there were no paper books in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the most formal collection of books on history in the library is the "Twenty-four History", which is the history compiled by the royal collation of the previous dynasties, composed of twenty-four historical books such as "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", and the content of the record is quite detailed, but after all the twenty-four histories were moved off the bookshelf, Zuo Dengfeng frowned, A thick stack, if all stacked would be taller than him.

Fortunately, the content he consulted had a clear purpose, that is, the area where the eight princes or eight tribes led by the Western Zhou Dynasty lived, so that the search scope was greatly reduced, after detailed research and comparison, Zuo Dengfeng determined the area where the eight princes lived that year, not only determined the area where they lived, Zuo Dengfeng also found a very strange phenomenon, the place where the eight princes lived was adjacent to each other,

"Yong" and "Lu" are adjacent to each other, located in the area of today's Hubei and Hunan, and the area where they are located is extremely densely forested, with Shennongjia in Hubei and Xiangxi in Hunan both in this area.

"Ji" and "Pu" are adjacent to each other, located in the northern part of today's Yunnan and southern Sichuan, this area is the location of the three parallel rivers, the Nu River, the Jinsha River, the Lancang River where the confluence, the water volume here is not inferior to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

"Shu" and "Wei" are adjacent, located in today's northern Sichuan and Shaanxi, where the terrain is relatively flat, Xi'an is also called Chang'an in ancient times, is the place where the feudal dynasty built the capital the most times in Chinese history.

"Qiang" and "Peng" are adjacent to each other, located in the area of what is now Gansu Xinjiang Province, this area was once an endless grassland and lake, but now it has become a large Gobi and desert, Lop Nur is in the "Qiang" and "Peng" within the scope of the time.

These eight princes are divided into four regions, adjacent to each other, according to the theory of yin and yang balance, these adjacent princes have animals that should balance each other and restrain each other, otherwise the land in this area will be unstable, the only thing Zuo Dengfeng knows is that the "Yong" country has a golden monkey back then, and the monkey is yang, so Zuo Dengfeng guessed that the "Lu" country adjacent to the "Yong" country should have the golden rooster that belongs to the yin, and the collar on the monkey's neck is written' Jiuyang Jin Yong', so there should be a collar of 'Ten Yin Jin Lu' on the chicken's neck.

Zuo Dengfeng read in the dark and was not affected, he spent the middle of the night looking through the historical materials to compare the geographical location, and sat on the chair in the second half of the night to think, although he was not proficient in the theory of yin and yang, but he understood the simple yin and yang and yin and yang symbiosis, Zuo Dengfeng believed that the birth of these animals was very likely to be caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in a certain vast area, twelve animals were born together, and they were born after affecting a large area of the earth. And two animals with the same five elements but different yin and yang are matched into a pair, affecting and balancing a small range of earth qi. In other words, the twelve earthly branches are a large whole, but they can be subdivided into five small combinations: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Everything grows in it, so the earth is a whole made up of four animals.

Everything can be thought about as long as there are clues, although Zuo Dengfeng is now unable to determine which area other animals are distributed, but he has an unexpected thinking, that is, it is very likely that one of the two animals owned by the two vassal states of "Qiang" and "Peng" died or escaped, and the reason why he made such a judgment is because Lop Nur, where "Qiang" and "Peng" were previously located, was originally a large grassland and lake, and now it has become a desert, which indicates that the balance of yin and yang there has been broken, There have been deviations and changes in the atmosphere.

Therefore, if you want to judge whether those animals are still in the original area, it is actually very simple, that is, to compare the geographical environment of the Shang and Zhou dynasties with the current geographical environment, if there is no major change between the present and the past, it means that those animals have not left or died. If there is a big change from the past, it means that the animals there have died or left.

Thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng left the room where the history books were stored, found the place where the geography books were stored, and flipped through a large number of ancient and modern geographical materials, and finally came to a result that he was quite satisfied with, that is, except for the Lop Nur area in Gansu Xinjiang Province where "Qiang" and "Peng" are located, other places have not changed much from 3,000 years ago, which shows that those animals have not run far.

Because the Shang and Zhou dynasties are nearly 3,000 years ago, many historical records are incomplete, and it is impossible to verify whether there are descendants of those eight tribes until now, but according to the "Historical Records" and "Li Zhi", the princes of "Ji" should be today's Miao people. In addition, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, some people had seen some mysterious cavemen in the southeast of the hinterland of Lop Nur, and all the people in their clan were surnamed Peng, so it can be seen that there were descendants in the "Peng" country. Nothing is recorded in these two places.

At noon the next day, Zuo Dengfeng found the thatched house to relieve himself, and then walked back to the front of the room and sat next to the thirteen to bask in the sun with him, at this moment Zuo Dengfeng's mood was not sunny, not because he didn't sleep all night, but when he was flipping through the "Ancient and Modern Books Collection", he stumbled upon an unexpected situation.

"Ancient and Modern Books Collection" is the Yongzheng Emperor's third brother Yinzhi and his historians compiled the royal historical materials, very formal, the record is also more true, Zuo Dengfeng originally wanted to compare the geographical location through this book, but he found an unexpected situation from here, that is, it is recorded that Jiang Ziya has studied the "Heavenly Seal Album", according to legend, the "Heavenly Seal Album" was given to the Yellow Emperor by the immortals when the Yellow Emperor fought with Chiyou, and was passed on by the Yellow Emperor to later generations, this book recorded the "Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War", "Two Refining Weapons", " Twelve Chapters of the Lonely Void Law", "Qimen Dunjia One Thousand and Eighty Bureaus". It includes the essence of marching and fighting, smelting weapons, mechanism formations, and Qimen prediction.

Jiang Ziya later only passed on the "Qimen Dunjia One Thousand and Eighty Bureau" to future generations, and Zhang Liang cut off part of the content on this basis, creating the well-known Qimen Dunjia in later generations.

Zuo Dengfeng is not worried about the two parts of marching and fighting and smelting weapons recorded in the "Heavenly Seal Document", because this has nothing to do with him, what he is most afraid of now is the mechanism formation and Qimen prediction, Jiang Ziya is very likely to fix those animals in a certain range, and the method he uses is definitely not to tie them with ropes, and the possibility of trapping them with the mechanism formation is big, otherwise those naughty animals will definitely run around.

In this way, Zuo Dengfeng faced more difficulties, not only did he have to find those animals, but he also had to face the mechanism that Jiang Ziya might leave behind. The most headache for him is the "Qimen Dunjia One Thousand and Eighty Bureau", Qimen Dunjia is used for fortune-telling and prediction, the current Qimen Dunjia has long lacked arms and legs, and fortune-telling is not accurate at all, but Jiang Ziya uses a complete Qimen Dunjia, in case he calculates the idea of someone to fight those animals in the future, then he will definitely come up with countermeasures in advance.

Thinking of the difficulties that he may face in the future, Zuo Dengfeng was not depressed, on the contrary, he was still a little happy, his mood at the moment was the standard 'worried and willing to be cold', he was not afraid of difficulties, he wished that the legend was true, as long as the legend was true, the legend of the six yin and yin immortals should also be true, the greater the difficulties faced, the greater the possible surname of finding them to save Wu Xinyu.

After a short rest, Zuo Dengfeng left the library with thirteen, after leaving the library, Zuo Dengfeng turned his head and looked back, the world thinks that gold and silver treasures are good things, in fact, the most precious things are these historical books, if these things are destroyed, they will not be able to be found back.

Leaving the library, Zuo Dengfeng went to the northeast, he wanted to go to the Maoshan faction to see the golden needle, the report was part of the situation, and the other was to see if he could ask the golden needle some questions about the formation.

Nanjing is very close to Zhenjiang, in the evening, Zuo Dengfeng came to Maoshan Mountain, after climbing the mountain knocked on the door to worship the mountain, the reason why he chose to come at night is because he is now the public enemy of the army, can not involve the Maoshan faction.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what's the matter with you?" The one who opened the door was a little Taotong. People in the Taoist sect do not call outsiders benefactors, only monks call people like that.

"Please report to your sect leader, and say that the remnants of the robe are visiting." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke. He didn't want to reveal his name at will, since the name of the remnant robe had spread, Zuo Dengfeng also recognized the hat buttoned by the outsider.

"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Xiao Daotong closed the door.

It didn't take long for Zuo Dengfeng to hear footsteps, the footsteps were very light, and he knew that it was the golden needle that greeted him.

"Hahahaha." Jin Zhen, who was wearing a golden yin and yang robe, walked out of the door, laughed and stretched out his right fist to Zuo Dengfeng, Zuo Dengfeng was also very happy to see him, and raised his hand to fight with him.

"Distinguished guests are coming, and all eight doors are open." The golden needle turned and waved at the servant. There are four doors on the left and right of the Maoshan faction, two are usually opened, four are opened to welcome pilgrims, six are opened to welcome friends in the rivers and lakes, and eight are open to welcome the head of his faction.

"Big brother, you don't have to do this." Although Zuo Dengfeng didn't know the meaning of this, he also guessed that the golden needle was greeting him with a high standard.

"Don't be verbose, let's go." Jin Zhen pulled Zuo Dengfeng's sleeve and walked into the door.
