I am now sleepy and tired, and I feel a headache when I think about these complicated I Ching hexagrams, but in the "Zhen" hexagram, there seems to be a hidden secret closely related to "returning to the ruins". Just when I was thinking hard and couldn't understand it, Shirley Yang suddenly asked me: "I don't know much about Yi Dao, but I have read the work of a Chinese scholar in the United States, he is a famous expert in the study of Yi Xue, and his views are very unique. There are shocking words in this shocking hexagram, Lao Hu, do you know, why is it not ninety-nine miles and one hundred and one miles in the hexagram, or thousands of miles, but it is said to be shocking a hundred miles? ”

Shirley Yang accidentally mentioned something that I had never thought of before, "Yi" contains all kinds of things, and the endless changes of everything between heaven and earth are all in it, but very few people can understand it thoroughly. A person can never see a qiē, as long as the person who has been in contact with the study of Zhou Yi, everyone will have their own understanding of the Book of Changes, in the eyes of philosophers it contains philosophy, in the eyes of mystics, it is a book of heaven that predicts the change of events, the benevolent see the benevolence, the wise see the wisdom, so far, the world's analysis of the I Ching, is only a peep in the tube.

Therefore, Shirley Yang said that all the statements with "numbers" in Yizhong are not obtained out of thin air. In the "Shock Hexagram", "the shock is susceptible, and the smile is dumb." Shocked 100 miles, not lost daggers", is a special reference, but I don't know why there is a "shocked 100 miles" words, if this is just a description of the phenomenon, why not use "shocked thousands of miles" or "shocked thousands of miles"?

Shirley Yang said that since our salvage team went to sea on Coral Temple Island, we have seen several antiquities related to this "Zhen Hexagram", and these times they have seen it in coffins, tombs, or on the bone armor of the scaly man and turtle, as if the repeated "Zhen Hexagram" hexagram is related to the netherworld in the ruins, that is to say, it may not be an image obtained by divination, but a mark of the bones of the Hate Heaven people, or a hint hidden in the tomb of the Hate Tian clan, and in these mark symbols, The mark representing the "hundred" in the hexagram is particularly prominent, and it has been seen many times, which cannot but make people wonder.

I scratched my head, I really couldn't think of an answer to Shirley Young's question, although she was a flexible thinker and could often see things directly, but whether the phrase "shocked a hundred miles" meant something special was something that only the ancients knew. I heard Zhang Yingchuan say that there was a genius on his ancestors back then, and he was the master Zhang San Chain among the Golden Captains. Zhang Sanye dug out the sixteen-character hexagram of yin and yang like a book of heaven in the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and closed the door after seeing it, someone asked him what heavenly opportunity was in it, Zhang Sanye shook his head again and again, and only said one sentence: "Whoever solves the secret, there may be immortals." This means that perhaps only the immortals who have just opened up the wilderness can know the true heavenly opportunities in the sixteen hexagrams of yin and yang.

The sixteen trigrams can probably only be understood by the immortals who pass on to the heavens, even if the gossip left for future generations has been reduced by half, even if they are masters of the ancient and modern world, they dare not say that they can fully understand it. I'm a halfway monk. Therefore, I don't know what is the mystery of the words containing numbers in Yizhong.

However, I refused to admit it on my lips, and said to Shirley Yang: "The word 'hundred' that shocked a hundred miles represents an integer, and the ancient Chinese are used to using integers as adjectives, such as a hundred victories in a hundred battles, a hundred steps through Yang, etc., but no one says that ninety-nine battles and ninety-nine wins, or one hundred and one steps through Yang, saying that a hundred seems concise and atmospheric, which is called a small speech, not any specific meaning." If there is thunder in the sky, who knows how many miles it will shake? In fact, this is just an abstract metaphor, and maybe Americans prefer precise descriptions, which is why you find it strange. ”

Shirley Yang probably felt that what I just said was very reasonable, so he stopped dwelling on the "shock hexagram" on the tortoise shell in the tomb, walked over, and leaned against the snow-white whalebone fossil with everyone to breathe.

I also sat on the ground to rest, looked at the surrounding environment, and speculated in my heart about the pattern in this ancient tomb, it seems that this qiē is consistent with the totem on the back of the "Dragon Household" Gu Chai . Under the sea god wood is the ancient corpse of the Hating Tian clan that is dead but not stiff, and the Tan people hide the secret of the Hate Tian Clan's ancient tomb on the "Dragon Household", it must not be for future generations to come here to "fight upside down", but the real reason for it, I'm afraid that no one is clear anymore among the egg people who are still alive.

I turned my gaze to the ancient wooden passage where we came down, and it seems that this huge "azale" has grown here hundreds of millions of years ago, and then the vicissitudes of the sea, the forest has become a vast sea, and the "azale" has been left at the bottom of the sea, almost breaking through three layers of the earth's crust. It is no wonder that in ancient legends, it was regarded as the Guanghan Palace connected to the moon, and the Hate Tian clan hollowed out this sacred tree under the sea and used the coral cave at the bottom as a tomb.

There is no formal burial chamber in the tomb, and there is stagnant water seeping from the bottom of the sea all around, and in the water hole below, the whirlpool of water is one after another, and I don't know how deep it is. The sound of water rumbling in the distance, you can feel the boiling hot white gas coming from time to time, I think it must be a hot spring under the water of Guixu, this water is a hundred times hotter than the hot spring in the world, once any creature is wrapped in boiling water, it will immediately be boiled by the high temperature to the point that there are no bones left.

On the other side, a chilly chill swelled, sucking the sea water above into the hollow center of the earth. The location of the ancient tomb is built in this hot and cold yin and yang world, which is tightly blocked by coral reef wreckage, and the hot and cold water cannot invade, which is a feng shui scientist in the eyes of "the heaven and the earth, the ancient and modern fairy cave". The tomb is full of life, Dahua is popular, and it is vast, and it occupies the magical secret of natural creation.

While I was looking at the terrain, the fat man rested his strength, leaned half into the whalebone, and looked at the ancient corpses. Uncle Ming also dragged Gu Chai to him, and asked Gu Chai to kowtow to the ancestors, Uncle Ming said: "This is the ancestor of your Tan people, if the ancestors have spirits, maybe they can bless us to go back safely." ”

Gu Chai didn't know what his ancestors did thousands of years ago, but when he saw the ancient corpse, he was still in awe, and he lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times, folded his hands, and followed Uncle Ming's actions, and the two of them bowed a few times in front of the whalebone.

Fat Yu asked Uncle Ming: "I explain that uncle, in your life, you have dug and sold, sold and dug, how many ancient corpses have you sold?" Why did you get here and kowtow again? I thought you were old enough to transport these underwater zombies back to sit on the ground and make a strange thing to live in, but you look at your current watch, it's just too disappointing for me, you stand aside for me, you old ...... of life."

Uncle Ming said with a sad face: "Hugh will compare yesterday with today, and today is a difficult time. At the moment, everyone is stuck at the bottom of the sea, and the chance of getting out alive is too slim, where is the mood to consider the price of the ancient corpse at this time, now of course, what gods worship what gods, maybe which incense will burn right, we can pick up a life and go back, otherwise what else can you do Fat Boy? ”

The fat man put the candle on the ground and said, "In my opinion...... To be honest, in this case, I don't know what to do, I can only be forced to act according to the guidance of my own reason......" After speaking, he used the means of touching Captain Jin, lifted a zombie body, pressed the back of the zombie's head with his knees, pushed the Tianling Gai with one hand, and pinched the zombie's cheek with the other, wanting the corpse to spit out the "Zhuyan Pearl" stuffed in his mouth.

I hurriedly pulled the fat man, this trip to catch the green head is enough, the ruins occupy the tomb are the corpses of the ancestors of the ancient guess, containing pearls for thousands of years, dead but not rotten, if out of respect, generally not called zombies or zongzi, but described as "zombies". At this time, it is better not to alarm them, otherwise although the vitality in this tomb is strong, once the Yin essence condensed "Zhuyan Pearl" is taken out, these zombie people who have been preserved for thousands of years will immediately turn into powder. We went to sea this time to fish for green heads and eggs, not to rob tombs in the ruins, so don't do it, don't forget the rules of the ancestors, greed is the world's disaster, we have to find a way to go back to the United States to enjoy a few years, how many winds and waves have come over these years, it is not cost-effective to fold here.

The fat man was persuaded by my good words, and then he reluctantly got out of the whalebone. I don't want to touch these South Sea zombies, but I want to see what's in this whalebone, and if I want to get out of here, I have to hope to find some clues.

The fossilized jaws of the whale skull are half-combined, and this whale skull is not very large, but it is more than enough to wrap the dead body. It is said that the whale bone coffin seems to be larger, and there seem to be some burial goods inside, more like a burial chamber set in the whale remains, and you can drill into the whale's mouth as soon as you lean out, and five well-preserved corpses lie peacefully in it.

Shirley Yang also wanted to understand, turned on the flashlight, followed me and bent down into the whalebone tomb, Uncle Ming and others also wanted to come in to see what was going on, but the tomb was too narrow to accommodate so many living people to walk back and forth, so I had to let them hold a mackerel candlestick in front of the whale's mouth to illuminate it, and be wary of accidents. In this dark underground, who knows what monsters will be hidden, but don't worry about being copied from the back.

Shirley Yang and I cautiously stepped over the five "South China Sea Zombies" and into the depths of the tomb. We squatted down to look back at the corpses, with a flashlight, the five corpses were three women and two men, the male corpses were an old and a young, the clothes were probably turned to dust, and the body was covered with a thick layer of dry "dragon skin", "dragon skin" is the folk name of the egg, taken from a kind of sea fish with bright scales, fish head and horns, has been extinct in modern times, can not be seen again.

In addition to the head, the five corpses were tightly covered with a piece of "dragon skin", the old man on the side only exposed half of his arm, the corpse's skin was slightly dark, and his face had collapsed slightly, but the moisture in the corpse was suppressed by Zhuyan Zhu, not rotting or rotting, and only the moonlight pearl of the coral spiral infiltrated by the sea air had this miraculous effect. I pulled out my diving knife and stabbed the old man's corpse in the arm a few times.

Unexpectedly, the skin and flesh of the zombie man are as hard as iron, I have never seen such an ancient corpse, it may be the unique embalming treatment at sea in ancient times, and the zombies encountered on the beach seem to be the same as the legendary Qin Shi Huang when he toured south. Shirley Yang asked me in a low voice, "What are you doing with the knife to kill the ancient corpse again?" ”

I said: "I tried to test and see if I would cheat the corpse, now it seems that it is superfluous to worry, Guiru is the cave eye of the southern dragon, and the vitality is prosperous, which I have never seen in my life, these zombie people are about to be petrified, and there will be no corpse change." ”

Shirley Yang nodded, swept his flashlight inside the whalebone, and found that there were a lot of various burial goods in the burial chamber. The matter of accompanying the burial of Ming utensils has existed since the Stone Age, not only in China, but also in various ancient civilizations in the world. The whalebone fossils contain the remains of various aquariums, which are stacked on top of each other with countless funerary goods, and are distributed in a rectangular shape in the burial chamber. According to the weekly ritual system, the tripod is three-legged, and the Son of Heaven is buried, and you can enjoy the specifications of the nine tripods in the tomb. Bronze is the country's heavy weapon, nine copper tripods are only worthy of use by the Son of Heaven, below the Son of Heaven, divided into "Gong, Hou, Bo, Son, Male" five levels, even if you are the Grand Duke, you can not put nine tripods in your own tomb, otherwise there is an ambition to rebel.

This bronze vessel in the tomb of Guiru, the shape is like a tripod, but it is really a different kind, the giant belly is divided into eight sides, there are nine legs under it, there is half a meter high, although it is low, but it should not be a copper 1, but a rare nine-legged tripod. Identifying bronzes. From the color of the ancient artifact, it can be divided into wax tea, cinnabar spots, true green, and green wells, and only these four are real bronze. Look at the nine-legged bronze tripod, although it is close to the water for thousands of years, the ancient color between the true green and the green wellhead in the bronze still exists, just like the green moss that grows in the cracks of the well platform, but there is no real bronze that pure green paved green like the bright run, and the meaning of the seclusion has not been reduced so far.

The edge of the mouth is like a pillow corner, the ears and the patterns of sea beasts are ready, and the four sides are decorated with stars. The Panjiayuan antiquities market does not circulate real ancient bronzes, but counterfeit ones are everywhere, and there are even traders who bluff people with the bronze identification mantra of "Xia Shangzhong, Shang Shangzhen, and Zhou Shangwen", so I also know a little about it. This nine-legged tripod has the characteristics of Xia Zhou, and I thought to myself that compared to the bone mirror of King Qin, maybe the copper tripod cast by dragon fire is more valuable.

Shirley Yang and I both knew that the tripod has always had the function of remembering, and when we saw the bronze tripod buried in the tomb, it was really a treasure in the world, and we couldn't help but be amazed. Stunned, then leaned over to take a closer look, she looked at the appearance of the belly, I looked at the abyss of the abdomen, only to see that the abyss was full of water, there was a thick layer of dark green floating objects on the water, it looked like a black dingsewage, the stagnant water had no waves, and I couldn't see if there was anything in the water.

1簋, pronounced guǐ, an ancient utensil for holding food, with a round mouth and two ears.
