Chapter Forty-Four: Flooding and Sleepiness
On the way down the mountain, everyone walked in a hurry. The reason is that Mo Sheng is walking faster than usual in front, and he has even overtaken Yudong's speed in a hurry.
Although Qin Zhen and the others were all surprised, they didn't have time to ask more.
And what Qin Zhen has always been more concerned about is...... Mo Sheng grabbed a handful of stones casually before, but he still hasn't said why. During this period, I didn't see any movement from him, let alone anything abnormal. It's just that since then, he has been in the same hurry to go down the mountain as Lao Gu, and now he sees that his speed is getting faster and faster.
Such an obvious thing, even Qin Zhen could see it, how could Yudong not know?
So at this moment, Yudong quickly caught up with Mo Sheng, and then asked in a low voice that seemed unintentional: "What is it?" ”
This straightforward way of asking questions is very much in line with Yudong's style of acting.
Mosheng's face was solemn and he didn't say a word. He just stopped, and slowly spread his right hand to Yudong.
Qin Zhen and the others all leaned over very curiously, wanting to see what mystery was in Mo Sheng's palm. But the truth is the same as they imagined, Mo Sheng's hands are just those few stones.
Qin Zhen looked at Mo Sheng incomprehensibly, and then turned his head to look at Yu Dong again. Sure enough, Yudong's face also became heavy.
Before they could open their mouths to ask, Yu Dong looked at Moshang and asked in a deep voice, "Ze Shui is sleepy?" ”
Mo Sheng nodded with a sinking face.
Qin Zhen glanced at the handful of stones in Mosheng's hand again suspiciously, but it looked like it was still a handful of stones. I really can't see why.
He couldn't understand how Yudong could see the image of Moshang at a glance, let alone when and how Moshang occupied this hexagram of "Zeshui Trapped"? Could it be that his hypnosis can be unconsciously invisible, and divination can also be invisible?
Yudong didn't explain too much, but said to them all in a straight voice: "Now start preparing to enter the water, just in case." ”
"What's wrong......? What the hell did you see, why was it so sudden? Qin Zhen faintly felt a sense of nervousness.
Mo Sheng stretched out his hand to all of them at this time, and said leisurely: "Kanxia is trapped in the water of Shangze, it is a difficult hexagram, and the main dilemma is to find a way." That's where we are now. Not so good. If we use this to calculate our way out. Redeem for yin for Ze; Kan is yang and water, metaphor is dangerous, trapped in the water. ”
Although Moshang's I Ching hexagram is more profound, no matter how enlightened people are, they can understand the meaning of the last two sentences.
But Yudong is probably in case they really don't understand. Deliberately emphasized, he said, "What Moshang means." We're going to be in danger. And it's in the water. In my opinion...... The mountain is sinking back to the bottom of the sea. ”
Yu Dong's expression was indifferent, and his tone was calm. It's like it's an inconsequential thing. But these words undoubtedly made Qin Zhen and them feel that their hair was standing on end!
Qin Zhen looked at Yu Dong and Mo Sheng in surprise, and hesitated for a long time before asking, "I absolutely believe in Mo Shang's ability." But will this "I Ching" really be tried? And the ink dress your way is very special...... It doesn't seem to be Zhou Yi......"
In fact, when Qin Zhen said this, he was completely looking for a reason for himself to be lucky, to find a reason not to believe that the mountain was about to sink to the bottom of the sea. They are now in the middle of the vast sea, and the sinking of this mountain will definitely be a disaster for them!
Therefore, Qin Zhen would rather believe that Moshang made a mistake, rather than hope that the hexagram of the I Ching really came true.
And Qin Zhen is really unheard of this kind of divination method of Mosheng, he almost doesn't need to do anything, and the hexagram is self-presented......
Regarding Qin Zhen's question, Yu Dong and Mo Sheng continued to rush back with everyone, while explaining to them the confusion in Qin Zhen's heart.
The "water trapped" mentioned by Moshang just now is indeed the hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams. There is also an inevitable reason why Yudong and Moshang are so convinced.
The Book of Changes is definitely one of the oldest legendary texts in China, and is revered by Confucianism as the first of the Five Classics.
The three great ancient books "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "I Ching", and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", it seems that several of them have inevitably come into contact with two-thirds.
According to Moshang, the Book of Changes sounds like an ancient book, but in fact it is a collection of the contents of the ancient three ancient books "Lianshan", "Guizang", and "Zhou Yi".
Of course, by now, "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" have long been lost. Moreover, because the real "Book of Changes" was written too early, no one could understand it by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, Moshang, a descendant of a lonely bamboo, was passed down by the king and treasured a lot of antiquities from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Under the influence of a special family situation, he learned about a different "I Ching". This is also the reason why his easy calculation will make Qin Zhen puzzled.
Emperor Fuxi created the innate gossip, which Xia Yu expanded to sixty-four hexagrams for the first time and recorded it in the book "Lianshan". In "Lianshan", "Gen" is the first hexagram.
In the Shang Dynasty, these 64 hexagrams were recorded in the "Gui Zang", with "Kun" as the first hexagram.
In the "Historical Records", it is said that "King Wen detained and performed Zhou Yi", that is, King Wen of Zhou studied the Book of Changes in detail for the last time, and finally set "Qian" as the first hexagram. This is what most people know about "Zhou Yi" today.
Obviously, what Moshang has mastered is definitely not the "Book of Changes" that the public sees today. Maybe he really watched the earliest "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet"? This is probably one of the reasons why Yuto is so convinced.
The reason why the I Ching first existed was indeed used for divination. However, its influence has spread throughout Chinese philosophy, religion, astronomy, medicine, military and so on......
That's why Yudong said: "This is also part of the military." ”
In shock, they could already see the yacht that was awkwardly parked on the hill from a distance.
Lao Gu shouted while looking around, "Dong Shao! Let you introduce it like this, if the hexagram is really dead and accurate, then this mountain will definitely sink back! Aren't we going to stop eating completely?! I have an eighty-year-old lady and a daughter-in-law who has never been through the door, and I don't want to die here......"
As soon as Lao Gu's words fell, this Yu Jishi Mountain seemed to be joking with him, and trembled slightly very cooperatively. This time, it was almost a shaking state of an earthquake of about five magnitude. It won't fall to the ground, but it's enough for all of them to feel it clearly.
At this moment, Lao Gu's face turned white. Immediately start looking around for a place to hide. He thought of it the way he had escaped from the earthquake, but he forgot that it was a barren mountain, with no place to hide, and that it was standing alone in the middle of the sea.
Here, no matter what happens, there is no way to survive.
Jiang Qi also said with a stern face at this time: "Dong Shao, if this mountain sinks like this, it will form a huge whirlpool and suction, which will suck us and the ship down." ”
"I know. But if the water does not rise, the ship will not be able to return to the sea. Yu Dong analyzed their situation very rationally.
Qin Zhen tried his best to calm himself down, and then decisively asked Yu Dong: "Based on the situation of the earthquake just now, judging from your experience, how long will it take for this mountain to sink?" Qin Zhen understood the situation in front of him according to the shipwreck.
Yudong didn't think too much, but replied to Qin Zhen slightly tactfully: "This is a mountain, not a ship, it doesn't have a sinking speed." The reason why the ship can hold on for an hour after the cabin is flooded is because there are many barriers in the cabin, there are closed doors, pumps, and the cabin is divided into independent spaces, so even if a cabin leaks, it will not sink instantly. But this is a mountain, and it doesn't have any room to slow down the sinking rate. Once it starts to sink, it's like a megaton boulder being thrown into the sea......"
"OK, I see, which means we don't have time at all." Qin Zhen accepted the facts explained by Yu Dong very resignedly, and at the same time had a determination to die.
In such a situation, it seems that there is no other way but to accept reality. In fact, since they were washed up on this mountain in the stormy seas, Qin Zhen had already prepared for this. It's coming up, it's coming up, but it's always been a problem how to get down.
Lao Gu said at this time: "Brothers, even if we don't have time, we have to try hard." You can't expect the boat to bounce down on its own, can you? ”
It seems that Lao Gu means to find a way to get this yacht into the sea.
However, Qin Zhen felt that this method was not feasible. The cliffs here are full of sharp and abrupt rocks. The yacht is not a lifebuoy, just throw it into the sea. Even if they have the strength to push the yacht, when it does roll down, it will directly become scrap metal.
In the midst of the tremors that were getting shorter and shorter, several people finally returned to where the yacht was. According to Jiang Qi, there is no problem with this yacht now, and he and Yudong have been completely overhauled just now. As long as it can return to the sea now, they will be able to leave this dangerous place in no time!
Sounds good...... But the problem is just like what Yudong said, the water can't rise, and the boat can't go down at all.
At this time, Yudong decisively said to everyone: "Go, get on the boat." You have all the life-saving equipment ready, hurry into the cabin, there is no time. ”
As Yu Dong finished speaking, the mountain shook violently again! Compared to the previous times, the shaking is obviously getting more and more violent.
Qin Zhen and the others immediately entered the cabin according to Yu Dong's instructions, and Jiang Qi was just about to walk into the cockpit, but Yu Dong stopped him, and then said simply: "I'll come." (To be continued......)
