Two days later, the driver drove the two to the post station on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and after a bumpy journey, they finally came to the south of the Yangtze River, which has been known as the 'City of Longchuan' since ancient times.

Yangzhou is famous for its scenic spots, including the Slender West Lake, which has been passed down for thousands of years around this ancient city.

Lu Tiandi and Hu Yidao bought two healthy horses at the post station, and they put on a new outfit, like a player from other places; they drove their horses into the huge Yangzhou City generously, and the whole Yangzhou City was full of traffic, bustling with people, presenting a lively scene.

The two first found a foothold in a restaurant in the city, so they opened a place shop in the more famous Guiyuan Building in Yangzhou City. Hu Yidao has long been unable to hold back the joy and expectation in his heart, the bumpy rush for days made him very boring and lonely, he can't wait to eat meat at this moment, drink a big bowl, and go to the so-called big gambling house in Yangzhou City to let go of the fight, this is not in vain to come to Yangzhou City.

Lu Tiandi seemed to be preoccupied at the moment, he was worried about the master who had lost news with him, and on the other hand, he was thinking that he and Hu Yidao had a murder case at this moment, although Yangzhou Mansion was currently the weakest area under the control of the imperial court, but Yangzhou was a vast area, involving the north and south of Huai, where there were heavy troops. His words and deeds must be vigilant at all times, but he is not too worried about the master, after all, as a generation of Golden Point Sect masters, the door is all over the world, and the small Jiqing Mansion can't do anything to him, and behind Feng Wuming, there is a rebel army to protect him.

Hu Yidao looked at Lu Tiandi with a sad face in the house, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you all people from a thousand sects like this?" Every day, your face is expressionless, as if you don't recognize your six relatives, what are you thinking?"

Lu Tiandi told him the worries in his heart, and then asked Hu Yidao for three copper plates, and said: "All the actions of this trip are unknown, we rashly entered this Yangzhou City, and we are not clear about the local people and local forces, so we must be careful at every step, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Hu Yidao handed him three copper plates, and said disapprerovitically: "I think you are too worried, we are committing a case in Lishui, not to mention that Yangzhou City has no relatives and no reason, no one knows anyone, their official mansion here is a group of straw bales, what can they do with us." ”

Lu Tiandi smiled leisurely, shook his head slightly, and said: "The ancients said that we must not be careless when sailing a ship of ten thousand years." After speaking, he repeatedly threw three copper plates on the table, thinking in his heart about the hexagram that was manifested this time.

Since the days when he followed Feng Wuming to hide in the cave in Jiqing Mansion, Lu Tiandi has repeatedly studied the techniques of the Thousand Doors in the Thousand Secret Books, and at the same time, he has also learned the occult skills of Yin and Yang Bagua. In the Golden Point Gate, Tai Chi is the core gist of the whole door, Tai Chi is the common folk Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram, and the Yin and Yang diagram is divided into Yang and Yin, the cycle between the two lines is reciprocated, and the cycle is endless, just like a rotating gear; since the beginning of the world, everything in all things has accumulated a precious long history of China with this gear, and has never departed from its essence, which is why there will be a black fish and a white fish in the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram to bite each other's tails. The black fish represents the cathode, the white fish represents the anode, together is the truth of yin and yang, but at the same time there is a clever point that the eyes of the white fish are black, and the eyes of the black fish are white, which explains to the world that yin and yang are not necessarily yin and yang, they seem to be a yin and a yang, but they are varied, yin can become yang in different environments, yang can become yin in special circumstances, yin and yang repeatedly, this is the supreme occult method, so the seven emotions and six desires of human beings are like this.

The next layer of yin and yang is the meaning of the four elephants, the four elephants and the essence of yin and yang are no different, but it can be simply regarded as yin and yang like heaven and earth, when the chaos of heaven and earth first opens, the four elephants formed are the old yang, the young yang, the old yin, the little yin, these four images can be the four seasons in the heaven and earth, such as the young yang in the spring, the old yang in the summer, the young yin in late autumn, and the old yin in the cold winter;

In ancient times, human wisdom at that time did not create words, so the gossip was represented by the symbol of yin and yang, and it was not until the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties that it was injected with written explanations, such as innate gossip, divided into Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. The acquired gossip is a further commentary on the innate gossip, which is divided into heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and ze. These eight trigrams can be used as the eight natural phenomena produced in the four elephant seasons, and it is in these eight natures that human beings have multiplied and have always had all the things that are today.

The most typical representative figure is a saint at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, this person is King Wen of Zhou, who used the principle of gossip to have an epiphany of eight lives sixteen, sixteen lives and thirty-two, Thirty-two lives and sixty-four, has been passed down to the present day of the Golden Point Gate, Bagua is the original form of the 64 hexagrams; each hexagram of the 64 hexagrams has a different meaning, representing the code and law of change in nature, the people of later generations gradually studied, as a kind of fate annotation that reaches the heavens, the Golden Point Gate is based on the calculation of the fate, the 64 hexagrams can measure a person's good fortune and calamity, joy and sorrow.

(Note: About Zhou Yi's metaphysical theory, will be in my second work "Golden Point Gate" a large number of descriptions, here due to the needs of the plot, a simple description, if you are interested in metaphysics of children's shoes, you can join the readership, together to discuss, I have studied the Book of Changes for eight years, the teacher worships the master, can be explained one or two, common development.) ）

Lu Tiandi hesitated, looking at the three-sided copper coins on the table, the hexagram was already obvious, but this hexagram was not an auspicious image. Hu Yidao saw that he looked serious, although he didn't understand the mysteries of metaphysics, but he had seen a lot of fortune tellers on the streets and alleys, so he asked, "How is this hexagram?"

Lu Tiandi said leisurely: "Up and down, this is a negative hexagram." No, no bandits, not good for gentlemen, big and small. It is said that heaven and earth do not hand over, no, a gentleman can overcome difficulties with frugality and virtue, and he cannot be honored. ”

Hu Yidao said anxiously: "What do you mean by this, Lao Tzu can't understand a word, you say it simply." ”

The moral of this hexagram is to warn us that we are not in harmony with each other in this trip, there is a sign of blockage, and everything is not going well, but if we are careful, we should be careful. Lu Tiandi didn't expect that this trip to Yangzhou Mansion would be closed up and down, shouldn't he come to Yangzhou City?

"Then what should we do now, should we leave Yangzhou City now? The rivers and lakes are so big, Jiqing Road can no longer go back, where is there a place for us. ”

"Nope. Lu Tiandi put away the copper plate, got up and said: "Although the negative hexagram is a fierce hexagram, we must always be vigilant, even if it is blocked, we will definitely be able to usher in a clear sky." Brother Hu, do you know what we are most lacking right now?"

Hu Yidao thought about it for a long time, but finally couldn't understand what Lu Tiandi meant, and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Tiandi showed a shrewd look, he gestured to Hu Yidao and held out a copper coin, Lang Lang said, "Silver." ”

"Silver, we won thousands of taels in Lishui Casino, and with so much silver to defend yourself, you still have to worry about eating and drinking. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about, but we need a lot of money to keep us safe and powerful. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, but where there are people, there are not only rivers and lakes, but also interests, and people rely on interests to maintain each other. The court is corrupt and the place is harsh, if we are really arrested by the government, when our lives are on the verge of death, a few thousand taels can make us worry about food and clothing, but it is by no means enough to save our two lives, do you understand the meaning of my words?"

Hu Yidao nodded, and then said clearly: "You mean that Dayuan is corrupt to the point of destroying the country, and we can only save your life by ensuring enough interests, and even wipe out the murders on us, right?" ”

Lu Tiandi looked at him with a smile, although Hu Yidao misinterpreted his meaning, it was no different from the essence. Imagine that Sima Wei calculated the Qian family and himself so much, and the purpose was to calculate the Qian family's family business, driven by this kind of interest, there are two things that cannot be ignored, that is, power and power!

"Therefore, what we lack is silver, but you should understand that it is the best place to make money at the moment. Since we chose to come to Yangzhou, we want to use this silver to make friends with the local powerful families to ensure the safety of our lives, which is the first step I plan to come to Yangzhou. ”

Hu Yidao excitedly rubbed his hands and comprehended the meaning of the words: "With your thousand-door skills, we will definitely win enough in casinos all over Yangzhou." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look first. Yangzhou Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not to mention a casino with a mixture of dragons and snakes, you and I are careful. Remember, although you are strong in martial arts, you can only make a move unless you reach the point where you have no choice, so as not to startle the grass and the snake and alarm the group of eagle dogs. ”

Hu Yidao nodded very obediently and said, "Lao Tzu knows it in his heart, you can rest assured." ”

Saying that, when the two went out, Lu Tiandi seemed to think of something, and immediately reminded Hu Yidao: "You and I are tourists visiting Yangzhou on this trip, and it is also very important to hide your identity." After you leave this door, you will act as my eyes and ears, and treat me as a son outside, can you?"

"As long as I let Master Dao see the silver of the white flowers, Childe can do whatever I want. ”

The two kept their agreement, then left the room and walked out of the Guiyuan Building.
