The Suspicion of the Ninth Chapter The First Strange Book

Of course Ye Feng had heard of it.

Legend has it that in order to calculate the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, ordered two famous strange Taoist priests at that time, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, to jointly compile a book, which is known as the first strange book of Taoism.

However, Ye Feng did not study the Taoist classics, so he didn't know what was so strange about this book.

"The reason why this book is called a strange book by later generations is because it is a prophecy. ”

Ye Fengqi said: "What prophecy?"

Master Likai smiled and said: "The original intention of compiling this book is that Tang Taizong in order to calculate the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, legend has it that Yuan Tiangang and his disciple Li Chunfeng, who wrote this book, are both strange people, and the two are also teachers and friends, and they are good at Zhou Yibu calculation, which is extremely effective. When compiling this book, the two of them used Zhou Yi to calculate, but they didn't expect it to be out of control as soon as they calculated it, and it was calculated until two thousand years after the Tang Dynasty. Li Chunfeng had to count it further, and Yuan Tiangang nudged his back and said that the heavenly machine could not be leaked again, which stopped him, so the title of this book is Tui Beitu. The book has a total of 60 images and corresponding proverbs, all of which come from the I Ching Bagua calculus, which not only predicts the Tang Dynasty, but even predicts major events in the next 2,000 years. ”

Ye Feng felt a little incredible: "Two thousand years? How is this possible? Have all their prophecies come true?"

The smile of the master looked mysterious: "The images and proverbs in the book are very obscure and difficult to explain. In addition, the kings of all dynasties were worried that its spread would affect the hearts of the people and thus endanger their rule, so almost no one among the people knew its contents. However, judging from the many major events that have occurred since the Tang Dynasty, most of its prophecies have come true. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder: "Since no one among the people knows its contents, how did the master get this book?"

Master Likai smiled: "I'm talking about almost, Shaolin Temple is not among them." Although there is no way to verify the origin because of the age, there are now two books in the Shaolin Temple. ”

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment: "Two copies?"

Master Reform nodded: "That's right, it's two." Moreover, the content of the two books is roughly similar but different, and they should be two different versions. ”

He looked at Ye Feng's blank expression, and continued: "Both books have similarities with the graphic characters in Huashan's Elder Scrolls, and these similarities are in the differences between the two books. ”

Ye Feng shook his head, still not understanding.

Master Likai sighed, and seemed to be a little anxious about his comprehension ability: "Do you really believe that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were able to calculate the major events in the next two thousand years just by relying on Zhou Yi's calculations?"

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "The Elder Scrolls...... Similar graphic text...... Could it be that they also have an Elder Scroll in their hands?"

As soon as he said it, even he thought it was incredible, but he saw Master Chang nodding slowly: "Yes, Lao Wei thinks the same." ”

He looked at the incredulous expression on Ye Feng's face and smiled: "Lao Qu has found for many years that the prophecies on these two backing charts can almost all be corroborated with major events in history, but this part with a similar figure to the Elder Scrolls cannot be explained, and it has nothing to do with historical events, so I have a bold assumption that this part is actually not a prophecy." ”

Ye Feng asked, "It's not a prophecy, what is it?"

A look of excitement appeared on the face of the Master of Reform: "It's the method! It's the way to decipher the Elder Scrolls!"

He seemed to realize his gaffe, calmed down and said: "Lao Qu guessed that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng must have also had an Elder Scroll in their hands back then, although it may not be the same as this one in Huashan, but it must be from the same period. And their so-called Zhou Yi calculation is just a certain method to interpret the secrets in the scroll, and grandly write these secrets as their own prophecies in the push back map. ”

He paused and continued: "Lao Wei has studied a large number of historical books and wild histories of the Tang Dynasty, and some fragmentary records can prove that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng made more than one push back map. The old man believed that they had divided the method of interpreting the Elder Scrolls into many parts, disguised as prophecies, and secretly added them to different books, thus creating a situation where these books were different and these differences could not be corroborated with historical events. ”

"So," he concluded, "if you can find these books, find all these differences, and put them together, you will be able to decipher the secrets of the Elder Scrolls." ”

Ye Feng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react and ask, "Then how do you know how many copies of this push back picture they have made, and how many differences are hidden?"

Master Reform frowned: "This is indeed a difficult problem, there is no record to know how many copies Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng made back to push back in total." However, they are all Taoists, and Taoists believe that one is the beginning of all things, and nine is the largest number, so it should not exceed nine. ”

Ye Feng felt that his head was dizzy, the world was so big, it was difficult to find one, let alone nine books, it seemed that it was far away to solve the mystery of the pattern on his back.

Master Chang smiled, "Don't be frustrated, although we estimate that there are nine different versions of this back map, you don't necessarily need to find all of them to decipher The Elder Scrolls." As long as I can find a few more copies, I can find out certain patterns from these differences, and I can roughly understand the secrets recorded in the scroll. ”

Ye Feng exhaled softly, fortunately there was no need to find Qi Jiuben, probably this was the only good news he had heard so far today.

After a while, he asked, "The master specially came down to tell me so many secrets, I don't think it's just because of this string of Buddhist beads, right?"

Master Likai smiled and said: "Ye Gongzi is really keen, no wonder he was able to investigate the two strange cases of Huashan and Tingtao Villa one after another, and they are famous all over the world." Actually, you'd like to figure out the relationship between the flickering patterns on your body and the Elder Scrolls, right?"

Ye Feng couldn't deny this, he could only nod.

Master Ligai continued: "This time, I heard that Ling Zun was imprisoned because of the strange case in Beijing, I think that with Ye Gongzi's talent this time, he will definitely be able to solve the strange case, make miraculous achievements, and rescue Ling Zun." I only hope you'll check it out at the right time, because I know there must be a collection of pushback drawings in the inner courtyard of the palace. ”

Ye Feng was stunned: "You want me to go to the palace to steal books?"

Master Reform was still smiling kindly, but now this smile was a little meaningful in Ye Feng's eyes: "Lao Wei didn't say that, Ye Gongzi only needs to investigate, and it is up to Gongzi to decide whether to start or not." ”

Ye Feng was a little stunned, he said this so tactfully, but he couldn't answer.

He was just about to say something more, but Master Reform interrupted him: "Okay, Ye Gongzi will leave early tomorrow morning, so let's go back and rest early." But what the old man said tonight, please hide it in your heart and don't spread it. ”

Now that the eviction order had been issued, Ye Feng had to nod his head and get up to say goodbye. When he turned around and walked out of the bamboo hermitage, the words of Master Chang came from behind him: "Young Master Ye, please relax, as long as Gongzi needs Lao Gao's help, Lao Gao will definitely do his best." ”

These words came a little abruptly, Ye Feng didn't understand much for a while, and just when he wanted to turn around and ask, Master Renshan, who was waiting outside the door, made a gesture to him to please, and he had to walk out with Master Renshan.

He could feel that the murderous aura in the woods was still there, but his mind was a mess now, his mind was full of the Elder Scrolls and the Push Back Diagram that Master Chang had just told him, and he didn't care about anything else.

Ye Feng left.

Master Likai sat quietly in front of the desk alone, watching the candle flames on the table flickering and beating in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, a monk wearing a monk's robe suddenly walked into outside the door of the bamboo nunnery, this monk was extremely burly and tall, and even the wide monk's robe could not wrap his bulging muscles. His face was full of steel needle-like beards, and he was as fierce as the statue of the Vajra Arhat in the temple.

But at this moment, his expression was extremely docile, and he changed the master to salute: "Senior brother, I'm here." ”

Master Likai didn't look up, he still stared at the dancing candle flame in front of him, and just said lightly: "Senior Brother Likong, tomorrow Ye Gongzi will return to Beijing on the road, you go to protect him secretly, and help him when you need it." ”

He bowed and replied, "Yes, senior brother." ”

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior Brother didn't tell him the prophecy about the dragon-shaped pattern in the Elder Scrolls that you deciphered?"

Master Likai suddenly raised his head suddenly, stared at Kong sternly with his eyes, and was so frightened that he shuddered, and quickly lowered his head and shut up Mu Li on the spot.

After staring at it for a while, Master Likai slowly spoke: "How many high-ranking monks in Shaolin have worked hard for more than a hundred years to interpret this prophecy, and he has no need to know now. When you need him to know, he will naturally know, and you don't have to mention it in the future!"

The last sentence was very harsh, and the empty body trembled, and it seemed to be very afraid.

Master Ligai's eyes gradually softened, and his tone became softer: "Inform the Buddha's eyes in the capital that it's time for the Buddha's five hearts to act." ”

Sora replied respectfully, "Yes!" and bowed backwards and exited the bamboo hermitage.

In the silent bamboo hermitage, only Master Gai continued to sit in front of the desk, looking down at the dancing candle flame in front of him.
