"Do you know, this astrolabe of mine is a treasure, it was given to me by Old Man Chen, it seems that they got it from some tomb.

You have also seen the peculiarity of this astrolabe, if there is starlight reflected on the astrolabe, the light points on the astrolabe that correspond to the stars in the sky will light up one by one, which is a function that other astrolabe cannot have, it is really a good baby. ”

"Your master is a Bochi Daoist, right? I've also heard of it, the first way in Guangdong. Although I haven't dealt with him, his reputation is really good, and I can't imagine that the disciples he taught are so good. ”

"You are not interested in the star master, just now I saw you staring at my astrolabe for a long time, if you are interested, I can teach you, not the old man is talking nonsense, just in terms of attainments in the stars, I dare to humbly say that I am in the top three in the world, you will definitely not lose you if you follow me to learn."

"How old are you and how many years have you been learning Taoism?"

"Are you married? Do you have children, what do your parents do? How are they physically? ”

……

On the way down the mountain, Guo Huaxing kept holding Chen Ziyang's hand, kept asking this and that, and kept talking with Chen Ziyang, so that others had no way to interject. The whole team could only hear Guo Huaxing asking questions and Chen Ziyang answering questions.

Chen Ziyang never thought that Guo Huaxing's attitude towards himself would change so much through the previous events. Now he feels like a new daughter-in-law who has just gotten married, and Guo Huaxing is his husband's grandmother, and at this time, his grandmother is holding her granddaughter-in-law's hand and nagging, this feeling is really awkward.

Because of Guo Huaxing's relationship, the rest of the team didn't dare to say a word on the way down the mountain, for fear of disturbing his interest, and the atmosphere of the team was slightly embarrassing.

Chen Ziyang also felt very embarrassed, at this time, Guo Huaxing was like those hidden masters in the martial arts who suddenly discovered a rare martial arts wizard, so he had to forcibly accept himself as an apprentice and pass on the skills of a Maoshan star master, because of Guo Huaxing's identity, Chen Ziyang had to be perfunctory.

Because he knew that the next direction was in the northwest, Liu Cong had already communicated with the team before going down the mountain, and asked the team to go directly from the foot of the mountain to the northwest, and everyone did not go down the mountain along the original road, but chose the path down the mountain in a northwest ravine.

Halfway down the mountain, Zhen Hao, who was at the front of the line, suddenly stopped and quickly squatted down, while he clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it at his side.

In the previous training camp, everyone had mastered this kind of sign language very proficiently, and almost all of them had achieved the effect of conditioned reflex. As soon as they saw Zhenhao's posture that represented everyone to hide, the others all quickly squatted down, hiding their bodies through the surrounding plants.

Guo Huaxing didn't know what was going on, and he was stunned and at a loss. Chen Ziyang, who was beside him, pulled his arm violently, and under this pull, Guo Huaxing also quickly squatted down.

"What's wrong?" Liu Cong asked in a whisper in Zhen Hao's ear.

Zhen Hao shook his head and didn't speak, and kept staring vigilantly at a small hill not far away from the gap between the plants, but after looking at it through the night vision device for a long time, he didn't see anything strange on that hill.

"Let's go, maybe I'm too careful, maybe it's an animal." After Zhenhao finished speaking, the team moved on, but everyone raised their guard.

Just after the group of seven people left, behind a weed on that small hill, two people in camouflage uniforms moved their bodies slightly, apparently the previous two people were motionless because they didn't want to be discovered, and their muscles were a little stiff. The two men then continued to use their night-vision binoculars to look in the direction of the group's descent down the mountain.

The descent was much faster, but still not as fast as the four wheels of a car. By the time the seven people reached the foot of the mountain, the convoy had already bypassed Jiuzhi Mountain and waited at the meeting place designated by Liu Cong early, and the sky was already slightly bright.

"Oh?" Zhang Linfu, who heard Liu Cong tell what had happened, shouted in surprise, "No wonder you have to wait for the seven stars to converge before you can open the Taoist Holy Land, no wonder you have to go stargazing on Jiuzhi Mountain, it turns out that this is the case."

If the timing of stargazing is not right, not when the seven stars converge, or if the location of stargazing is not right, if it is not in Jiuzhi Mountain, then these lines displayed on the star map are not correct hexagrams, then no matter how much you calculate, it will be useless, and it can only be in vain.

It seems that the person who left this test before should have taken Jiuzhi Mountain as a landmark, and after calculating the hexagram, he hid it in it through the stars, so there is a saying that the seven stars converge. can pinch the stars, hexagrams and geographical coordinates together so tightly, is this person really Yuan Tiangang? ”

"I think it's very likely. I hope that the Taoist holy land was built by Yuan Tiangang, and at the same time, I don't want it to be built by Yuan Tiangang.

If the Taoist holy land was really built by Yuan Tiangang, then there must be a large number of lost Taoist classics or secret methods in it, and the weight of this Taoist holy land will be higher, and the significance will not be the same.

However, if this Taoist holy land was really built by Yuan Tiangang, then with Yuan Tiangang's Taoism, the seven puzzles in it are not so easy to solve, and it is very likely that there will be many more dangers in the Taoist holy land than we imagined. Guo Huaxing said worriedly.

"But anyway, we have to arch forward, and now that I've got the first hint for you, it's up to you to do the rest." Guo Huaxing showed a gloating expression on Zhang Linfu's side.

Although Guo Huaxing is not a Maoshan hexagram master, he also knows a little about hexagrams. This kind of hexagram deduction based on the pattern of the eight trigrams is somewhat like an arithmetic problem, but it is very difficult, and the amount of calculation will be doubled with each additional hexagram.

Guo Huaxing can deduce a maximum of sixteen hexagrams with gossip patterns, which is already his limit. Now that the hexagram of forty-two patterns is in front of him, even if Zhang Linfu is the leader among the hexagram masters, it is not easy for him to calculate it.

"What do you stink, you want to see if my joke is not. What capital do you have in this stinky beauty, these hints were made by the kid surnamed Chen, and you didn't discover them yourself. Seeing Guo Huaxing's expression, Zhang Linfu felt very depressed.

"Anyway, I've already done the work I should do, and besides, don't be a kid surnamed Chen, a kid surnamed Chen is screaming. The kid surnamed Chen is now half of my apprentice, and he is not an outsider, and what he found is equivalent to what I found. ”

Zhang Linfu wanted to say a few more words, but Liu Cong on the side was in a hurry. "Two old ancestors, let's go back and have time to quarrel again, it's important to get down to business now."

"Humph!" After snorting with disdain, Zhang Linfu stared at the hexagram on the astrolabe and frowned, the hexagram with forty-two gossip patterns was really the first time he had seen it, and it was indeed very difficult to calculate it.

The convoy traveled directly to the northwest, and after passing the Jingwei Plain, it stopped at a small town, which was already the last town in the northwest, and further on, there was the endless Qinling Mountains.

The Qinling Mountains are known as the dragon veins of Chinese civilization, and there are countless feng shui treasure points there. When Guo Huaxing was stargazing, he determined that the northwest direction was the place where the purple qi gathered, and the Qinling Mountains were located in the northwest direction of the Jiuzhi Mountain, so everyone agreed that it was very likely that the Taoist holy land was hidden in the Qinling Mountains.

In a broad sense, the Qinling Mountains span the three provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, and Henan, with a very large area, and there are many undeveloped areas, so it is really not easy to find a Taoist holy land in such a large area, and the whole team is waiting for the results of Zhang Linfu's deduction.

Three days passed, and in these three days, Liu Cong chartered a small hotel in order to hide people's eyes. Seven cars were parked in the hotel's parking lot, all the equipment was placed on board, and seven people were on duty in the seven cars every night.

In the first two days, everyone was busy and procured some supplies, after all, if they really stepped into the Qinling Mountains, it would be difficult to get supplies again.

But as time went by, there was no news from Zhang Linfu's side, and the people in the team were a little anxious, especially Liu Cong, who had to go to Zhang Linfu's room almost every day to inquire about the progress.

The person who annoys Zhang Linfu the most is Guo Huaxing. Guo Huaxing had to take a purple clay pot to Zhang Linfu's room every day, swing back and forth, then drink a few sips of tea and ask:

"Zhang Zhenren, there is no news from your side! It took me less than a night to solve the astrological test. Why hasn't you heard from you for days? ”

It seemed that Guo Huaxing was asking about the progress of the matter, but in fact, Zhang Linfu knew that this Guo Huaxing was deliberately angry with himself. So much so that after Guo Huaxing asked the same question for several days in a row, Zhang Linfu felt that his eyes were dark as soon as he saw him enter the house, and he almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out.

"Shame, this time it's really a shame." Every time in the dead of night, Zhang Linfu beat his chest, he pasted the white paper with forty-three gossip patterns on the wall, and hit the wall with his head, eager to use his head to directly knock out the answer to this puzzle.

After another two days, all the people who were looking forward to the results were about to lose patience, but at this time, suddenly Zhang Linfu summoned everyone to a meeting, and there were only eight people at the meeting.

"Zhang Zhenren, how is it? Is there a result? As soon as Liu Cong entered Zhang Linfu's room, he hurriedly asked, but then when he saw Zhang Linfu's current state, Liu Cong was stunned, he already knew the answer to the question he just asked.

At this time, Zhang Linfu is no different from a madman, his big red nose is even redder, his eyes are bloodshot, obviously he hasn't slept well for many days, and Liu Cong noticed that Zhang Linfu's baldness is even worse, and now there are no hairs left on his head, according to this look, he will become completely bald in a few days.

Guo Huaxing, who wanted to open his mouth and tease a few more words, saw Zhang Linfu's miserable appearance, and after moving his lips a few times, he swallowed the words he was about to say into his stomach, and even Zhang Linfu's biggest enemy couldn't bear to him anymore.

"Hey......" Zhang Linfu opened the meeting with a long sigh. Old and incompetent, ashamed of Sanqing, ashamed of all of you here, I have deduced without sleep and food, but so far I have only counted the twenty-fourth hexagram. ”

"Twenty-four hexagrams!" Other people may not know how difficult it is to deduce the twenty-four hexagrams in the past few days, but Guo Huaxing knows. Originally, he thought that Zhang Linfu could only calculate twenty hexagrams at most, so he could laugh at it, but he didn't expect Zhang Linfu to calculate twenty-four hexagrams.

"Well, it is already very rare to count the twenty-four hexagrams in five days, if it goes on like this, there will be five more days to calculate the twenty-fifth hexagram, and another fifteen days will be the twenty-sixth hexagram......" Liu Cong wanted to continue, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Linfu.

"You don't have to count it, if you continue to count like this, I'll hang up in a few days, so you don't need to tell you the hexagram, there is no twenty-sixth hexagram."

"What's hanging?" Liu Cong didn't react for a while, but he heard "hanging" coming out of Zhang Linfu's mouth one by one, and then he understood what Zhang Linfu meant.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Linfu took out a few pieces of paper and sent one to everyone present, Chen Ziyang looked down, and the paper was the hexagram that Guo Huaxing had cracked from the star map before.

These gossip patterns are arranged exactly the same as those in the star chart on the paper, and it is obvious that Zhang Linfu was very careful when painting these pieces of paper, and did not miss any detail.

"There are a total of forty-three Bagua patterns on it, but the top one is out of step with the others, and we guess that this one refers to the northwest-facing mountain range, and should only be used to indicate the direction.

The old man has tried his best, really tried his best, the hexagram of the forty-two gossip patterns is not something I can calculate, if I really do, I can't deduce it in ten or eight years.

So I think it's very likely that my method is wrong, it's not a hexagram at all, or maybe this hexagram is not just a direct deduction, but it hides some other secret.

So today I have gathered you here to tell you about this matter, you can take this piece of paper back, if you have time, study it, brainstorm, maybe you can think of something I didn't think of, maybe you can decipher this hexagram. ”

After saying this long paragraph with his head down, Zhang Linfu didn't even raise his head, he waved his hand at everyone, and a decadent expression was revealed in front of the others. The other seven people were too embarrassed to say anything, so they had to walk out of the room one after another.

There was a solemn expression on everyone's faces, and this time they were really in big trouble.
