Chapter 658: The Six Beasts Correspond to the Six Beasts
"Okay, Jiang Cheng,"
The old man was full of praise: "You kid, you are here for this..... without you, I am afraid that this matter in the suburbs of Chang'an will not be solved at all!"
"Hehe..." For a moment, it wasn't just those who stopped to watch who laughed.
Even on the right, the other families who were gathered together together all cast mocking glances.
"I really can't figure it out," someone ridiculed, "The Jiang family, actually surrendered their identity!"
"The dignified head of the Jiang family is actually complimenting Ying Cheng to come out with a five-trick horse, the Jiang family is really capable..."
"Alas," someone said yin and yang, "maybe, old man Jiang is wise, people have seen the five tricks out of the horse, and he is a genius, but he may not be necessarily..."
"That's it," someone joked, "Maybe people are wise and far-sighted, and they are different from us ordinary people!"
"Haha..." For a while, the Jiang family became the laughing stock of everyone.
This contemptuous ridicule made the faces of everyone in the Jiang family a little unsightly.
"Old man..."
"Dad..."
"Grandpa..."
Everyone in the Jiang family whispered: "You are too exaggerated, how can this be?"
"Okay," Old Man Jiang waved his hand and said firmly, "This grievance, my old man, there is a way to break it."
The voice of the speaker immediately attracted Liu Ju.
Director Liu stepped forward quickly and asked, "Elder Jiang, seriously?"
"Really," Old Man Jiang was excited and worried, "It's just..."
"It's just what, you say it's okay," Director Liu was anxious.
"It's just that if you want to solve this matter, you have to join forces with the Ma family," Old Man Jiang immediately talked about his plan: "Borrow the four elephant arrays from the three major Ma families..."
As Old Man Jiang spoke in detail, the heads of various families also came over.
In ancient times, astronomers looked up at the stars at latitudes close to the ecliptic plane and divided the visible stars in the sky into 28 groups, which were arranged in a circle along the ecliptic equator. This circle of stars is divided into four groups according to the four directions, also known as the four elephants, the four beasts, the four dimensions, and the four gods, and each group has seven stars.
In ancient times, there were four common ways to observe the appearance of the 28 Nakshatras: first, at the beginning of the night after dusk and sunset, to observe the stars rising on the eastern horizon, called "dusk"; The second is to observe the stars in the south and middle heavens in the sub-hour, which is called "dusk"; The third is to observe the stars rising on the eastern horizon before dawn when the night is about to set, which is called "morning view" or "pilgrimage". The fourth is to observe the stars in the south of the sky at this time, which is called "Danzhong".
In order to facilitate the observation of the sun, moon and the movement of the five planets (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), the ancient people selected 28 constellations near the ecliptic and equator as symbols, collectively known as the 28 constellations or 28 constellations. Horn, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei, these seven stars form an image of a dragon, in the eastern sky at the spring equinox, so it is called the Oriental Green Dragon Seven Houses; Fighting, bull, female, void, danger, room, wall, these seven stars form a group of turtles and snakes intertwined image, the spring equinox in the northern sky, so called the northern Xuanwu seven houses; Kui, Lou, stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, ginseng, these seven stars form an image of a tiger, in the western sky at the spring equinox, so it is called the Western White Tiger Seven Houses; Well, ghost, willow, star, zhang, wing, zhen, these seven stars form the image of a bird, in the southern sky at the spring equinox, so it is called the southern Vermilion Bird Seven Houses.
The images of the four animals composed of the above seven dwellings are collectively called the four elephants, the four dimensions, and the four beasts. The ancient people used the four elephants and each of the 28 constellations to determine the seasons and the time of reaching the middle heaven. The ancients looked at the direction of the solar terms facing the south, so there is a saying that the green dragon in the left east, the white tiger in the west on the right, the Xuanwu in the back north, and the Vermilion Bird in the front south.
The twenty-eight constellations are spread all over the four elephants, and these four symbols are also in charge of the change of the seasons and the four seasons....to put it bluntly, this is a time array.
There are clouds in ancient books, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, and two instruments give birth to four elephants....and the real power of these four elephant arrays is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If you can spread out the four elephant arrays.
It will definitely be able to counterbalance the dense fog in the suburbs of Chang'an...."But,"
Old Man Jiang was worried: "If you want to cloth the four elephants, you have to gather the strength of the three major families, and in the hall of the Nalan family, not only Xuanwu is in charge, but also the white tiger. And the Chen family, the hall relies on the green dragon, and the Jiang family has the Vermilion Bird in charge."
Old Man Jiang emphasized: "Only when everyone puts down the view of the door and each takes out the four elephants, can we set up a formation and balance the evil spirit in the suburbs..."
"But then again," the people of the Nalan family pointed out on the spot, "We have set up a four-elephant array, who will go to the evil zone to punish the evil?"
"That's it," the Chen family said, "Could it be... Cheaper of those Nanmao?"
"Isn't it?" For a while, there was an uproar!
In fact, this method was proposed by Mr. Jiang a long time ago...
And Liu Ju also tried to mobilize Nanmao and Beima.
However, the grievances and differences over the millennium are not only in Nanmao's mind, but even Beima and Nanmao can't pee in the same pot.
Among the three major horse families, except for the Jiang family....The Nalan family and the Chen family, thousands of years of inheritance, have long been torn apart from Nanmao.
The reason why the Jiang family can make friends with Nanmao... That is also because in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jiang Ziya was famous as a god, and he had an indescribable relationship with Nanmao.
Even if it has been handed down to this day, although the Jiang family is classified as a vein of North Malaysia, the people of the Jiang family are also familiar with a lot of Nanmao techniques, and they have a great friendship with Nanmao Daomen.
"In my opinion," the people of the Nalan family directly tore their faces and buried them: "You Jiang family, you really shouldn't be in the second family of the horse, or let the Chen family, yourself, roll up the hall and go to Longhu Mountain to make your debut!"
"Hehe..." The people of the Chen family naturally liked to hear about it.
For thousands of years, they have been living in the third horse family, and they have long wanted to surpass the Jiang family.
For the Jiang family, that is also the grudge....and the ranking of this family is the reason for the deep cultivation of the portal's view.
"Elder Jiang," Liu Ju couldn't help but whisper, "Why are you mentioning this again?"
Of course, Old Man Jiang knew that when he mentioned this, he would definitely have a disagreement with the other two.
But .....
"This time," Old Man Jiang was determined, "With Jiang Cheng's joining....he has a beetle snake to rely on in the hall, if everyone is willing to put aside the view of the door for the time being, Jiang Cheng will enter the trouble." That could happen!"
"Snake!?"
For a while, the people of the Chen family and the Nalan family started to discuss.
Even the people of the Jiang family are clamoring at this moment: "Jiang Cheng has a beetle snake?"
Later generations often said that the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird, the back Xuanwu....In fact, this is the position of the four elephants corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations.
But few people know that in addition to the four elephants, there are six beasts. Among the six lines of divination.
