Li Bing thought for a moment and asked in surprise: "Ancestor, could this Nine Palaces be the Nine Palaces diagram mentioned in our current mathematics?" Put the number five in the middle, and the corners and slashes add up to the same value, is that the one? ”

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Li Bing, it's true. The eight trigrams plus the axis are called the nine palaces, and the number of the nine palaces is Qianjiu, Kun one, Xun two, Dui, Gen six, Zhen eight, Li three, Kan seven, and the center is five. ”

He paused for a moment and smiled: "Have you heard of Hetu and Luoshu?" ”

Li Bing said respectfully: "This Hetu and Luo Shu, I have heard it in the fairy tales of enlightenment when I was a child, although I don't understand what is going on, but I have always admired and longed for it." It is said that in ancient times, the human emperor Fuxi had an in-depth observation of the sun, moon and stars, seasonal climate, the rise and fall of plants and trees, and so on. However, these observations did not make sense for him. One day, a dragon horse suddenly ran out of the Yellow River, and he found that the pattern on the dragon horse was quite in line with his image and experience of observing the nature of all things. ”

In this way, Fu Xi drew a Bagua diagram through the patterns on Ryoma's body and his own observations, and the patterns on Ryoma's body are called river maps. Fuxi's innate gossip originated from the concept of yin and yang divided into two, and King Wen's gossip originated from the astronomical calendar, but the root of King Wen's gossip is still 'Hetu'. ”

"As for Luoshu, legend has it that the human emperor Fuxi looks at mountains and rivers during the day and the stars at night, and worries about how to classify and find the rules. Just when he was thinking hard by the Luoshui, the legend is that there is a turtle out of Luoshui, there is this image on its carapace, the structure is to wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, with five in the center, the white circles in the five directions are all yang, and the black dots in the four corners are yin. The human emperor Fuxi realized from the tortoise shell, and the pattern on the back of the turtle is called Luoshu. ”

Li Chunfeng bowed his head and said: "What Li Bing said is extremely true, this is exactly the origin of Hetu and Luoshu. The first diagram is written as a number of 7 and 2, 8 and 3, 4 and 9, 1 and 6 on the periphery, and 5 in the middle, which is circled by 10. There are ten numbers 12345678910 this picture. This diagram is two laps, the first lap is 12345, the second lap is 678910, the first lap and the second lap are in the same position, in the same direction, they are both 5 apart, such as 5 and 10 in the middle, 1 and 6 below. ”

Vena, on the other hand, is more vivid and easy to understand, rotating in one direction, with the numbers of 4, 9, 2, 7, 6, 1, 8, and 3 on the periphery, and the number 5 in the middle. If you subtract 5 from all these numbers, there is zero in the middle, and the numbers on both sides of him add up to 0, which is the world of positive and negative yin and yang. The middle is the balance point, and the two sides are the opposites of yin and yang. ”

Li Bing said respectfully: "Ancestor, my qualifications are dull, and I can't understand it for a while. I remember the enlightenment of my ancestors, and let me slowly realize. Ask the ancestor for advice again, what does it mean that everything belongs to the ten directions? ”

Li Chunfeng laughed and said: "The ten directions are the theory that Taoism and Buddhism complement each other, that is, heaven, earth, east, west, south, north, birth, death, past, and future. After you entered Qianling, you vented the yin qi of Qianling and destroyed the dragon vein, that is, all the grievances between me and Yuan Tiangang fighting, the world returned to peace, you woke up like a dream, Qianling is no longer mysterious, everything returns to the ten directions. ”

Li Bing said: "Ancestor, you said that you set up a gossip array inside the Qianling, so everything we are experiencing now was set up by Yuan Tiangang outside the Qianling?" ”

Li Chunfeng said gloomily: "Yes, I was high-spirited back then, I didn't do anything when I was young, and I always wanted to win against my master Yuan Tiangang." Therefore, in the selection of the site of Qianling, I made a big mistake. In order to make up for my mistakes, Yuan Tiangang set up a gossip change array on the periphery of Qianling, just to suppress the yin qi and dragon veins in Qianling. ”

Li Bing asked in a low voice: "Ancestor, then I started from being completely unaware, which is equivalent to Wuji; Later, a series of events went through Tai Chi Yin and Yang; When I arrived at the tomb of the Yan family in Anhui, it was to break the array of the two instruments; Later, when he broke the array of the four elephants, he experienced a trip to the ghost city of Fengdu and realized the three talents; Now it is the array of the five elements, and there will definitely be Liuhe, Qixing, and Jiugong in the future, and finally return to the ten directions. ”

"It's just that I'm confused, since the ancestors set up a gossip array in the Qianling, can we skip the gossip on the periphery?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "Li Bing, you're wrong. Everything you have experienced is not a broken formation, but a way for you to experience many things, get in touch with and understand the gossip of change, and prepare for entering the Qianling Underground Palace. ”

"What I set up in the Qianling Tomb are Yang Bagua, Qiantian, Kundi, Zhenlei, Xunfeng, Genshan, Duize, Kanshui, and Lihuo. And the gossip set by Yuan Tiangang is the yin gossip, after you accept it, enter the Qianling and enlightenment, yin and yang are reconciled, and you are not fascinated by the gossip. ”

Li Bing was surprised: "Gossip also has yin and yang? Please ask the ancestors for advice! ”

Li Chunfeng said: "The so-called Yin gossip is rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening, which correspond to each other separately and echo each other from afar!" ”

Li Bing was surprised: "I'm so familiar with this, I've seen it in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Ren has placed this eight-gate golden lock array in Xinye City; I often hear about this formation in other commentaries, but I didn't expect that the so-called eight doors are actually gossip, but they are just yin gossip. ”

Li Chunfeng sighed: "Li Bing, the road to Qianling is dangerous. But you must not give up, the mechanism has been activated, in order to protect the heavens, if you don't complete the task and enter the Qianling Underground Palace, you will all disappear from this world. ”

Li Bing nodded with a firm expression, and responded: "Ancestor, rest assured, I will definitely persevere, no matter how bumpy the future is!" It's just that I don't understand, since this process is all related to Tai Chi Bagua, and I am not a person who learns the Tao, why did he choose me instead of a cultivator like Brother Zhang? Is it all because I am your descendant? ”

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "The people of later generations, although they cultivate the Tao, but because of the declining trend of the world, the people's hearts are not ancient, and the people who cultivate the Tao are naturally confused by it, and there are very few people who have succeeded in the Tao. Although Zhang Yuanshan is a disciple of Maoshan, it is a pity that his qualifications are dull and his roots are not good, so he cannot take on this great responsibility. Although you are my descendant, it is not the reason why you embarked on the journey to Qianling. Do you remember your adventures in the Thousand Buddha Caves of Qixia Temple in Nanjing? ”

Li Bing was surprised: "The ancestor is really a god, and he even knows this. Why did that Buddha's light shine on me? Why do I have six relics in my body? I have been confused by it, and I ask my ancestors to enlighten me. ”

Li Chunfeng said slowly: "After Buddhism was introduced to Middle Earth, it complemented Taoism and gradually became one, and Buddhism and Taoism were one. Although you have not cultivated the Tao, you have this strange fate because you were a Buddhist cultivator in your previous life and have a deep foundation. ”
