Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

However, through this period of thinking, Lin Ran had already made a rough guess.

The first is the mural, which actually represents the 64 phases of the Bagua in the Book of Changes. One painting is missing, which means there is no phase in it.

Of course, the significance of the existence of the murals is still unclear. It may be that the tomb owner liked to study the Book of Changes during his life.

"Is it possible that what we are descending from is the tomb of King Zhou Wen?" Lu Yang asked excitedly.

He hasn't thought about it yet.

"The Book of Changes" is one of the Chinese wonders. No one has fully read it yet. Many people are studying the Book of Changes. It not only describes the metaphysics of fortune-telling, but also contains the philosophy of doing things. It is a book that has amazed the whole world. .

According to rumors, "The Book of Changes" was written by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, but many of the ideas in it do not feel backward even now, they are completely ahead of the times.

Therefore, many people believe that The Book of Changes is actually a work by a time traveler.

As long as you can understand what it describes, you can know what will happen in the future.

How could King Zhou Wen's tomb be here? Lin Ran felt that he was too whimsical.

Although the true identity of the tomb owner is still unclear, there are many theories.

But if you think about the calligraphy and paintings they brought out earlier, there are already paintings from the Southern Song Dynasty in them.

Could it be that King Wen of Zhou was really a time traveler, and he even brought his collection with him before traveling through time.

It's nonsense.

Lin Ran did not deny him directly, but asked Wan Zhen: "Were the wooden slips you brought out earlier from this tomb?"

"Yes." Wan Zhen nodded. He also saw it at that time. There were many calligraphy and paintings inside, but considering the age, the calligraphy and painting inside may have been integrated with the wood. Even if he forced it open, he would only get Some shredded paper.

That's why he chose to sell the calligraphy and painting along with the wooden tubes to raise some money for the injured in his team.

As a result, on his way back from selling things to Lin Ran, their last teammate who was poisoned had already passed away.

This incident made him feel very sorry, but Wan Zhen was still grateful to Lin Ran, because at least he gave his teammates a chance to survive, and everyone else thought he was a liar.

After all, a person dressed like him couldn't directly say that he was a local master, otherwise he would probably be arrested by the security guards of the antique city.

Others will think that he is a liar and that he wants to sell it for hundreds of dollars, which is simply wishful thinking.

For his own safety, Lin Ran did not tell him who the calligraphy and paintings in the wooden slips belonged to. He only told them that there were some works by Northern Song Dynasty painters, and of course they were not famous ones.

"I'm not a famous person. I'm sure Mr. Lin won't come here anymore." Lu Yang smiled beside him.

He is just an old fox, Jiraiya understands human nature.

If calligraphy and painting were really worthless, Lin Ran might have really come to the ancient tomb for his dream.

Although he didn't know that Lin Ran only had half of the painting in his hand, he thought that Lin Ran wanted to come to the tomb to pick up the missing pieces because he got a very expensive scroll.

Their purpose is actually the same. On the surface, they use brotherhood to lure other people who are wary of tradition into the ancient tombs.

In fact, he just wanted to continue exploring the depths of the tomb.

Previously, we were at most halfway there, still far away from the main tomb, but we had already obtained some treasures.

Preliminary judgment shows that the contents inside should be enough to satisfy him for the rest of his life.

Judging from the ancient tombs outside, it is more likely that the tombs are from the Song Dynasty.

Now with Lin Ran's remarks, he was even more convinced.

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Lin. We are all sensible people. As long as we have the same purpose, we can cooperate."

As he entered the ancient tomb, the mysterious aura around him gradually faded.

Lu Yang is not a secretive guy. It can only be said that he has a very good grasp of human nature.

He knew very well what kind of people he wanted to use and what kind of words he had to use to restrain him. For Lin Ran, who was sober in the world, it was better to be sincere than to use flattery and other methods to gain his trust.

So he expressed his true thoughts. Of course, all this was done while everyone else was busy. Except for Wan Zhen, no one else knew what was going on.

Lin Ran didn't plan to continue talking to him and recalled the contents of Zhouyi.

This book is extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and some people even say it is the product of aliens.

After all, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had just entered the slave society from the dark society. There were few cultural accomplishments and few could read, so it was impossible to write such a masterpiece.

In this ancient tomb, the number of murals is exactly the same as the 64 hexagrams.

And it was when they escaped last time that they suddenly fell from the wall.

The combination of these things makes it even weirder.

Is it a matter of direction?

Lin Ran tried to interpret it from the opposite direction, but unexpectedly he actually saw a clue.

"From death to life..."

The images recorded on the murals, if viewed from this direction...

Lin Ran finally understood what those strange villains meant.

For example, the villain at the beginning is very small and still howling.

From this point of view, it should represent a newly born person.

However, there was a blank space in the middle with only one dot representing the mural. At that time, he thought it was formless.

Now it seems that he guessed wrong.

The two poles of yin and yang bifurcate in the middle.

The murals are actually arranged according to the laws of Feng Shui, and the two murals should be viewed as one hexagram.

"The owner of the tomb is actually trying to pursue the art of immortality. No, leaving his impression here is actually to be able to return to the earth from the underworld." Lin Ran Nannan said to himself.

After saying that, I felt a little funny.

After these ancient emperors became kings and hegemons, they had nothing interesting to do in the world except enjoying delicious food and beautiful women.

Instead, they pursued eternal life, as did every king.

Even if he thought well, he still ended up in a pile of rotten meat. Maybe that was good luck. Many people didn't even leave ashes in the end, only leaving their names in history.

Perhaps this is also eternal life in another sense.

Lin Ran stood up. The mural did not explain to him what was inside the tomb, but it did initially indicate one thing.

There should be a prime minister-level figure here.

Ordinary people would not dare to pursue eternal life openly, but if they were monarchs, they would not paint like this in the tomb. It is obvious that they cannot see the light and dare not express their true thoughts.

So I guessed that he should be a powerful official in the dynasty, a level below one person and above ten thousand people.

Lin Ran told Lu Yang and Wan Zhen his speculation.

Wan Zhen was confused when he heard this, but Lu Yang, himself a researcher of the Book of Changes, nodded thoughtfully.
