Chapter 1033 Nine Palace Gossip Locks the Heavens
The reason why Ling Yu used the broken sword to open the curtain was to guard against what dangerous killing motives were hidden in the living gate. Although Shengmen was considered Jimen among the eight gates, Ling Yu did not dare to be careless at all. He knows that there is no absolute good and bad, good and evil, good and evil, everything in this world, and everything is opposed to each other and interdependent. The ultimate in death is life, and in the same way, the extreme in life is also death. The Bronze Hall is a strange place, where anything can happen. Therefore, even if Ling Yu did not perceive the existence of any living beings in the ancient hall, he did not dare to take it lightly.
When Ling Yu opened the curtain and walked into the door, she found that her worries were unnecessary. In the life gate, there are no dangers that you guess. The room was extremely empty, with almost no furnishings, no tables, chairs, no beds, no screens, only a collapse in the very center of the room. This collapse is about a zhang in diameter and is circular in shape. The collapse is like a well, except that there is no edge next to the well, but it is level with the floor of the room. The well is filled with blue water, which is sparkling and gently floats in the breeze blowing from nowhere, rippling layer upon layer. And in the air directly above the well, there is a peculiarly shaped lampstand. The lampstand is also cast in bronze and is decorated with seven brilliant lanterns. Strangely, these seven lamps emit different colors, and each lamp is of a different size, which is extremely incongruous.
Ling Yu looked up at the lampstand, pondered for a moment, and suddenly her heart moved, and she guessed the meaning of these seven lights. They turned out to be Qiyao. Qiyao, also known as Qizheng and Qiwei. The Chinese ancestors called the glowing star (Mars), the star (Mercury), the star of the year (Jupiter), the star of Taibai (Venus), and the star of Zhenxing (Saturn) as the five stars, and the five stars are also called the five stars, plus the sun star (sun) and the sun star (moon), collectively called the seven stars. It is easy to count the clouds: "The sky is hanging down, seeing (now) auspicious and evil, and the saint is like it." The sun and the moon are five stars, there is a good and evil image, because of its change to occupy, the seven have different politics, so they are seven politics. Gains and losses are determined by government, so it is called government. There are also ancient books that describe it like this: "Seven politics, its government has seven, Yu Ji Heng observes it, it must be in the sky, know that the seven politics are the sun, the moon and the five stars." The wood is said to be the year star, the fire is said to be the glowing star, the earth is said to be the town star, the gold is said to be the white star, and the water is said to be the chen star. "Qiyao occupies an extremely important position in divination, which is not to be taken lightly.
Being able to hang the magic lamp representing the seven yao above the head can be imagined, and this ancient well under the seven yao is by no means unusual. Thinking of this, Ling Yu calmed down and looked towards the ancient well. Because the room behind the birth gate is also full of oil lamps, and there are seven rays of photographs, this room is brighter than the first floor of the bronze ancient hall. On the ground on the outside of the ancient well, there were some raised parts, which were reflected by the seven yao lamps and the oil lamps in the room, making it impossible for Ling Yu to see clearly. Therefore, Ling Yu had no choice but to take a deep breath, bless his eyes with his divine sense, and look towards the bulge again.
And when Ling Yu stared at the ground with the blessing of his divine thoughts, he finally knew what those bulges represented. Around the wellhead, there are twenty-four bronze protrusions, each of which occupies one direction, and at the same azimo, some are in a straight line, while others are composed of two straight lines. And these twenty-four protrusions happen to be the twenty-four lines in the gossip. Moreover, Ling Yu used his divine sense to observe that there was a faint curve on the water waves in the well, dividing the well water into two halves, and the part that was divided into two halves was the yin and yang fish of the Taiji diagram.
It turned out that the well water and the nearby twenty-four yao together constituted a gossip trend, no wonder Ling Yu felt a little close to the well water when he saw it for the first time. It is easy to count and have clouds: "The ancients Bao Xi's king of the world also, looking up at the sky, looking down at the law on the ground; watching birds and beasts and the text of the earth is appropriate; close to the body, far from all things, so he began to gossip, with the virtue of the gods, with the love of all things." "Bagua is the most mysterious and profound concept in China, which covers everything, from the stars, down to insects and ants, and the four seasons of the stars. In the world of cultivation, gossip is the foundation of a cultivator's practice, encompassing all things.
The Tai Chi Bagua diagram takes the center of the circle within the same circle as the boundary, and draws two equal yin and yang fish to represent the interrelationship of all things. The yin fish is black, and the yang fish is white, which is a representation of day and night. The head of the yang fish has a yin eye, and the head of the yin fish has a yang eye, which means that all things are transforming and penetrating each other, there is yang in yin, yin and yang are yin, yin and yang are combined, and they are mutually reinforcing. This statement is also considered by Chinese cultivators to be the ultimate avenue of the universe, using Tai Chi Yin and Yang to explain the concept of both contradiction and unity between heaven and earth. The center of the circle can be divided into four parts, and it is determined to be four images. The four images are the sun, the yin, the yang, and the yin. The four images express the east, west, north and south of space, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter of time. Any group of contradictions plus the center constitutes three talents. The Chinese sages believed that heaven, earth, and man were the three talents, and on the basis of the doctrine of the four elephants, they went one step further, and added the two sides of yang and ming, and the yin and yin were added, and it and the four elephants formed the theory of Liuhe.
If the four images are added to the center of the circle, they constitute the theory of the five elements, the south is fire, the north is water, the east is wood, the west is gold, and the middle is earth. There are also people who use the left green dragon, i.e., the east, for wood, the right white tiger, i.e., the west, for gold, the former vermilion bird, i.e., the south, for fire, and the rear xuanwu, i.e., the north, for water. The center of the circle is called the seven stars. The four elephants are divided into two by "one into two", and form a Bagua map, and the innate Bagua directions are expressed as: Qiannan, Kunbei, Lidong, Kanxi, Duandong, Zhendong, Xunxi, and Genxi. The Bagua plus axis is called the Nine Palaces. With the number of nine palaces is Qianjiu, Kun one, Xun two, Dui four, Gen six, Zhen eight, Li three, Kan seven, and the center is five. The gossip map first appeared in the hands of the Fuxi Emperor, when the dragon horse appeared in the Yellow River, and the dragon horse carried the river map and presented it to the emperor. Based on this, Emperor Fuxi created the Bagua Diagram in addition to Taiji. The combination of yin and yang is used to explain the eight most primitive substances in heaven and earth.
Tai Chi Bagua is used in almost every field in China, and the shadow of Bagua is indispensable in medicine, divination, astrology, etc. Zeng Yun, an ancient Chinese saying: "The ancients Fuxi, the king of the world, looked up at the sky, looked down at the law on the ground, watched the birds and beasts and the land appropriately, took all the bodies closely, and took all things from afar, so he began to gossip." With the virtue of the gods, with the love of all things. Make a knotted rope and make a fishing net, and use the tenant to fish, and cover the separation. And Bu Yunzhu, the heir of the Chinese oracle Bu family, also mentioned to Ling Yu: "It is easy to have Taiji, it is to give birth to two instruments, two instruments to give birth to four elephants, four elephants to give birth to gossip, gossip determines good luck, and good luck gives birth to great cause." "The Bu family is a family that is easy to count in the sky, and it is rumored that there is nothing in the world that the Bu family cannot occupy. Even they all respect gossip, and it is conceivable that this gossip is indeed the most mysterious and profound treasure and wealth in China. Therefore, when Ling Yu saw the gossip map, a sense of awe rose in his heart.
Ling Yu nodded lightly, and with humility, took a step forward, walking towards the well and the gossip map. And just as Ling Yu took three steps towards the well, a strange beam of light appeared near the well. Those beams of light were formed by the intersection of eight rays of light, and if it weren't for Ling Yu's divine sense, they wouldn't have been able to detect it at all. Four of the eight rays of light form a square pattern, while the remaining four rays are divided into two horizontal and two vertical, densely packed in a square, like a "well" character. This pattern wraps the Bagua map, dividing it into nine even parts, each of which occupies one side.
"It's ...... There are seven yao on the nine palaces, there are eight trigrams below, and there are nine palaces outside, is this ...... Nine Palace Gossip!" Looking at the beam of light that divided the gossip into nine parts, Ling Yu's heart moved, and what he thought blurted out in his heart, and sighed in surprise. Ling Yu knew that it was not simple for the gossip of the Nine Palaces to gather in one place.
Nine Palaces, is the Chinese ancestors will be the Heavenly Palace in the Tic-tac-toe divided into nine equal parts, such as the Qiangong, Kan Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Middle Palace, Xun Palace, Ligong, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace. The nine palaces are divided into: Zhenggong, Zhonglu Palace, Nanlu Palace, Xianlu Palace, Huangzhong Palace, Dashi Tune, Double Tune, Shang Tune, and Yue Tune. The nine palaces represent the earth and the earth in Qimen Dunjia, which is the foundation of Qimen Dunjia, which is immovable, and Qimen Dunjia is divided into four plates: heaven, earth, people, and gods. Easy to count and have clouds, "easy to one yin and one yang, together into fifteen, is the Tao." Yang becomes nine out of seven, yin changes into six out of eight, and it also joins in fifteen. If the number of changes is one, the yang moves and advances, and becomes nine out of seven, like the breath of its qi, and the yin moves and retreats, and it changes into six out of eight, like the disappearance of its qi. Therefore, the Taiyi takes its number and goes to the nine palaces, the four positive and the four dimensions, all of which are combined in the fifteenth. ”
Looking at the Nine Palaces in front of him, Ling Yu couldn't help but think of a sentence he saw in the "Ancient Tibetan Divine Formula": "Heaven is one and earth is two, heaven is three and earth is four, heaven is five and earth is six, heaven is seven and earth is eight, and heaven is nine and earth is ten." The number of days is five, the number of places is five, and the five are in harmony with each other. The number of days is fifty out of twenty, the number of the earth is thirty, and the number of all heaven and earth is five out of fifty. Heaven gives birth to water in the north, earth two gives birth to fire in the south, heaven three gives birth to wood in the east, earth four gives birth to gold in the west, and heaven five gives birth to earth in the middle. Yang is not matched, Yin is not matched, and it is not compatible. Sixty percent of the earth is water in the north and the sky is one, seven into the fire in the south and two in the earth, eight into wood in the east and three in the east, nine into gold in the west and four in the earth, and ten percent of the earth in the middle and five in the sky. "Because whether it is Yin and Yang Taiji, or the Five Elements and Four Elephants, or the Nine Palaces Bagua, they all have a pivotal position in the Chinese Continent. The most common, even the twenty-four solar terms experienced by the people of Hongchen, are derived from the gossip of the nine palaces, which is very miraculous.
In addition, the royal emperor's technique, as well as the battle-hardened soldiers, also used the Nine Palaces gossip. The wisdom of the Chinese ancestors was incomparable, and they used the Nine Palaces Bagua to study dozens of mysterious formations. The world-famous Eight Arrays, Seven Killing Arrays, Great Five Elements Sword Arrays, Heavenly Desire Smoke Dreams, Tiangang Beidou Arrays, Cloud and Mist Obstacles, Liuhe Arrays, etc., are all born from the Nine Palaces Bagua. Now that the original pattern of the Nine Palaces Bagua appeared in the Bronze Ancient Palace, Ling Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he felt that he seemed to have chosen the wrong door. Although he was very sure that he had entered the door of life, everything in front of him seemed to be urging him to enter not the door of life, but the other extreme, the door of death! Nine palace gossip, seven star lanterns, these three things alone have already explained a lot of problems. The gossip of the Nine Palaces is ever-changing, and it can conjure up the most ferocious array in the world, so is there a seal in this well water......
Thinking of this, Ling Yu felt a chill down her spine. He wanted to turn around and exit the Shengmen, away from the Bronze Ancient Hall. In any case, this bronze ancient hall cannot be explored any further. Even the Nine Palace Gossip and the Seven Yao Star Lanterns have appeared, and the ghost knows what terrifying existence will appear next. Even if Ling Yu was in the door, he no longer had the desire and courage to explore. Chance is important, but compared to life, Ling Yu would rather not have this chance. Moreover, the reason why Ling Yu explored the Bronze Ancient Hall was not because he was forced by anyone, because his original purpose was to obtain the Key of the Heavenly Gate that was fused with the Heavenly Wall.
However, when Ling Yu was about to turn around and leave the Shengmen and escape from the ancient hall, he found that the curtain behind him had disappeared for some time. Behind Ling Yu, there was no curtain, not even the gate he had stepped into before, only a cold stone wall made of bronze. The light of the Seven Dawn Star Lamps reflected on the wall, as if a strange smiling face was mocking Ling Yu's indiscretion. Ling Yu stepped over to the wall and slashed at the wall with his broken sword, only to find that the wall in front of him was not an illusion, but a real wall. The indestructible broken sword did not split the wall, but instead swung out a little spark, and the huge backlash force shook Ling Yuhu's mouth numb. The crisp sound of the broken sword and the bronze wall echoing in the ancient hall, like a lively carnival. But only Ling Yu himself knew that he had no way out, because in this house, there were walls on all sides, and there was no exit.
And when Ling Yu slashed the bronze wall with his broken sword, at the starting place on the second floor, that weird laughter sounded again. There was no exit from the room, but from the second floor, the curtain with the words "Door of Life and Door of Death" could be clearly seen fluttering in the breeze. And when the scalp-numbing laughter rang out, the words "life and death" on the door of life and death gradually faded, and finally, they actually reversed their positions. What Ling Yu stepped into was actually the door of death, and next to the door he entered, the word dead on the curtain slowly turned into a new word.
