I have been in the crime team for these years

Chapter 184 Chapter 187: Hexagrams
Niu Ren also couldn't help shouting: "Yes, yes, you came here because of the gossip stone plate, and now we have found it after a lot of hard work, it can't just leave us here like this, it has to point us to something road?"

After hearing what Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting said, Ren Tianya couldn't help feeling that it made sense, so he took out the eight trigrams stone plate from his backpack.

But the eight trigrams stone plate is still the same, except for the white eye that glows when it is in Ren Tianya's hands, there is no change in other places.

Ren Tianya held it in his hand and looked left and right for a long time, and finally had to hand the gossip stone plate to Lan Ruoting: "I, a predestined person, can't see any hints, so you, a predestined person, should try it. "

Lan Ruoting took the gossip stone plate, and after careful inspection, finally shook his head discouraged: "I didn't see anything, it seems that there may be no connection between this gossip stone plate and that hidden cave. "

Seeing Lan Ruoting handing over the gossip stone plate to Ren Tianya, Niu Ren who was at the side suddenly felt his heart move and shouted: "Wait..."

Ren Tianya glanced back at him and asked, "What's the matter, did you find anything?"

Niu Ren pondered and said: "Both of you are predestined people of the gossip stone plate. When Ruoting took it, the white fish had bright eyes; when you took it, the black fish had bright eyes. We have already witnessed this. But One question, I don’t know if you have thought about it, what would happen if the two of you are destined to hold the Eight Diagrams stone plate at the same time?”

Ren Tianya was slightly taken aback: "I haven't thought about it. But I guess it must be the two fish eyes of yin and yang shining at the same time, right?"

But Niu Ren said: "Perhaps besides the two yin and yang fish eyes shining at the same time, there may be other abnormalities happening..."

Lan Ruoting couldn't help nodding after hearing this: "Brother Niu's guess is not unreasonable. Think about it, since the two of us are the destined people on the Eight Diagrams stone plate, and they correspond to the two fish eyes, one Yin and one Yang, on the Eight Diagrams stone plate. , then maybe the two of us need to touch the Eight Diagrams Stone Disk at the same time to activate the Eight Diagrams Stone Disk, thus revealing the hidden secret.”

"It's simple, yes or no, we'll know if we try it. Come on, let's hold the eight trigrams stone plate and see if there will be a miracle in the end." After finishing speaking, Ren Tianya extended the eight trigrams stone plate towards Lan Ruoting , each holding it in one hand.

Three people and six eyes stared closely at the gossip stone plate, for fear of missing a single omission.

Sure enough, as Ren Tianya said on the eight trigrams stone plate, the two fish eyes of yin and yang lit up at the same time.But then, the strange thing happened again, and the two rays of light on the yin and yang fish eyes gradually intertwined, and finally pointed to the Xun hexagram in the eight trigrams stone plate.

The three of them were extremely surprised, but they didn't know what they meant for a while.

"Old Niu, you are engaged in archaeological research, do you know what the Xun hexagram means?" Ren Tianya cast his eyes on Niu Ren.

Niu Ren shook his head and said, "Archaeology doesn't have the I Ching gossip. I don't know what the Xun hexagrams mean."

Ren Tianya couldn't help being discouraged: "Then what should we do, none of us understand the art of hexagrams and phases, isn't the reminder of this gossip stone plate a good thing for us?"

Just as Ren Tianya finished speaking, Lan Ruoting at the side said, "I know a thing or two about the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes."

Ren Tianya looked at her with doubtful eyes, curled his lips: "You still know the art of gossip in the Book of Changes, don't brag about it here!"

Niu Ren said: "Since Ruoting says she understands, then she must have really learned the art of hexagrams, otherwise, how dare people speak indiscriminately."

Lan Ruoting gave Ren Tianya a blank look: "Did you hear that? Look at how sensible Niu is, how can you look at people like you, as if you are the only one in the world..."

"Okay, okay." Ren Tianya interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "If you understand, speak quickly, and stop talking nonsense here."

Lan Ruoting coughed lightly, and said slowly: "The so-called eight trigrams are Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. They are divided into eight directions, symbolizing the eight things and natural phenomena of heaven, earth, thunder, fengshui, volcano, and lake. The changes and cycles of the world. Everything in the world can be classified into the gossip, which is similar to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth..."

"Get to the point! What does the Xun hexagram mean?" Ren Tianya interrupted Lan Ruoting again.If he wanted to listen to Lan Ruoting talk about these boring things, he really had no patience to keep listening, he just wanted to know the answer directly.

Lan Ruoting gave him another blank look, so she had no choice but to stop talking about Yin-Yang Bagua and go straight to the point. "Xun in the eight trigrams represents the wind, and its direction is southeast. Does the meaning of this hexagram refer to the direction of the wind or the southeast direction?

Ren Tianya: "You mean, the hole we are looking for is in the direction of the wind, or in the southeast direction?"

Lan Ruoting: "I don't dare to be sure about this. The gossip of heaven and earth has countless meanings and is extremely profound, and I only understand the superficial. Everything about things is generally based on location.”

Niu Ren said aside: "I understand. What we are looking for now is the location of the cave entrance, so the hexagram must show the direction. Sunda is located in the southeast in the Bagua, and it also represents wind, so your guess is that either the cave entrance is at Southeast, or in the direction of the incoming wind.”

Lan Ruoting nodded and said, "From the hexagrams, it can only be understood in this way."

Ren Tianya shouted: "What kind of reminder is this? It's southeast and the wind direction, isn't that too general? That doesn't mean it's not mentioned."

Niu Ren also echoed and said: "Although it is much less than searching the entire circle of cliffs, the southeast direction alone accounts for one-eighth of the direction, and if the direction of the wind is not consistent, there will be more A quarter of the direction, in this way, the place we are looking for has reached three-eighths, accounting for nearly half of the total direction. Searching for nearly half of the cliffs is also an impossible task for us task."

Lan Ruoting said: "No matter what, it's better than a comprehensive search, right? Besides, if the wind direction is also from the southeast, then it coincides with the direction. You only need to find a direction to the southeast."

Ren Tianya said helplessly: "Don't worry about it, let's find out which direction the wind is coming from first."

After finishing speaking, Ren Tianya cut a small wooden stick with a short knife, tore a small piece of cloth from his body and tied it to the top of the small wooden stick, and then handed it to Niu Ren: "You hold the lifter, and I'll use the compass to measure the wind direction."

Niu Ren took the small wooden stick and lifted it up, and the small strip of cloth fluttered to one side under the breeze.

Ren Tianya measured it with a compass, and couldn't help but say discouragedly: "The wind from the southwest has a slight deviation from the southeast."
