Origin

"No hope at all?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If you want to answer these three questions, you must meet two conditions. First, you must know the Yin and Yang Bagua thoroughly, and you must know what each hexagram represents, and then you must have a full understanding of the ways of heaven, earth, and humanity. Enlightenment.”

"What do you lack in these two conditions?" Wang Xinran asked.

"I lack both," Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Although my master is a Taoist priest, he has only taught me and my senior brother a superficial knowledge of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Bagua deduction and the like. He is not willing for us to be exposed to such things. , after all, we are now in a scientific society, and those who indulge in divination will be slandered and criticized by the public. He prefers us to live the lives of ordinary people."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's frustration, Wang Xinran comforted him and said, "Don't be so sad. I have a way."

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at her.

Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures, "We have an advanced computer system that can run calculations with the help of computer programs..."

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and interrupted Wang Xinran, "It's useless. This is not arithmetic. The Five Elements and Bagua are very emotional things that need to be mixed with personal understanding. There is no fixed correct answer."

"Don't be afraid of that," Wang Xinran said, "You don't understand, but some people do. They say that the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. We can send it back to the headquarters and ask them to convene experts in this field to discuss it."

"Humph," Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you really believe that three cobblers can defeat Zhuge Liang? This is all fucking deception. If three cobblers can defeat Zhuge Liang, then Zhuge Liang is too worthless. .”

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan always said discouraging words, Wang Xinran frowned and looked at him.

Lu Jiahui interrupted at the door, "Xiao Wu, you have to believe in the collective wisdom. We do have experts and scholars in this field."

Wu Zhongyuan still shook his head, "It's not that I underestimate you, but you can't invite people who have truly understood the three realms of heaven, earth, and people."

Wang Xinran was also anxious, "This won't work, that won't work either. If you can do it, why don't you ask others?"

"I didn't ask anyone else," Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away, "Get out of the way, I'll do it myself."

"Can you do it?" Wang Xinran was speechless.

"No, I can hide it." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Okay, you can fool me. With three five-ring gossip, the chance of getting it right is lower than winning five million." Wang Xinran said.

"It's not calculated like that. This should be a little higher than the chance of winning five million. At least the person who draws the lottery won't cheat." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Okay, hurry up and get wet. I'll watch you get wet." Wang Xinran said with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan wiped the dust off the stone platform, and then stared at the heavenly copper plate on the far right in a daze.

"Shouldn't it be easier first? How did you get into trouble first?" Wang Xinran asked with a smile.

"The way of heaven is the easiest," Wu Zhongyuan said, "the way of humanity is the hardest to guess."

The word "Tiandao" is located directly above the copper plate. Tai Chi does not need to be moved. The two instruments are Yin and Yang. The Tao of Heaven is naturally pure Yang. There are two yin and yang fish. The Yin fish has yang eyes and the Yang fish has yin eyes. The corresponding one is Yang. Fish, turn the inner circle and align the yin eye of the yang fish with the word "Tiandao". This should be correct.

Then there are the four images. The four images are Lao Yin, Shao Yin, Lao Yang, and Shao Yang. Lao Yin corresponds to Xuanwu, Shao Yin corresponds to white tiger, and Lao Yang corresponds to Suzaku.

The counterpart of Shaoyang is Qinglong.

This is not difficult. Double Yin can be eliminated directly, leaving Laoyang Zhuque and Shaoyang Qinglong. Laoyang Zhuque corresponds to the south, and Shaoyang Qinglong corresponds to the east. This one should choose Shaoyang, because the five elements of Qinglong belong to wood, and the corresponding The season is spring, and the plan for the year begins in spring. Since ancient times, the east has been the largest, and the way of heaven resides in the east.

Next is the Bagua, which are Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, corresponding to heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, and lake.

This should be simple, but Wu Zhongyuan hesitated. This was not a test of the Eight Diagrams symbols, but a test of his understanding of the way of heaven. In other words, in his opinion, what form and attitude does the way of heaven exist?

These are not recorded in the classics, and can only rely on personal understanding and understanding. The so-called understanding and understanding are actually more like an illusory feeling.

In his opinion, Qian corresponds to the sky, which should be high and comprehensively controlled and controlled.

Kun corresponds to earth, which is stable support and silent endurance, a carrier of virtue, forgiveness and tolerance.

Xun corresponds to wind, which can be warm and gentle or a manic hurricane. This is an invisible existence that has both the attributes of yin and yang.

Shock corresponds to thunder, and the overall feeling is shock and coercion, rules and order, destruction and punishment.

The ridge corresponds to water, which is both the supreme good and the great evil, the gentle nourishment and the silent erosion.

Li corresponds to fire, which represents destruction and also means rebirth, burning and warmth.

Gen corresponds to mountains. As the saying goes, benevolent people enjoy mountains. It gives people the feeling that the rock is stable and solid, worthy of trust and dependence.

Ze also corresponds to water, but it is different from the water corresponding to Kan. Ze refers to water that can be controlled and utilized by people. This is excluded first, because the way of heaven cannot be controlled by humans. Man's victory over nature is just a slogan. In nature, In the face of disaster, people are very weak.

Mountains can also be excluded. Although they are stable, there are few changes. Wind is invisible and fickle. Although it is elegant but lacks stability, it can also be eliminated.

Lei can also be ruled out because he is too violent and lacks kindness. The earth must also be excluded. Being too lenient and benevolent is inconsistent with the way of heaven. The way of heaven should be both kindness and power.

The sixth one to be eliminated is Kan, which is water, which is more feminine and lacks the yang energy.

In the end, what was left was Qian and Li, that is, heaven and fire. The reason why he could not make up his mind was because fire has both the characteristics of destruction and rebirth.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the difference between thoughtfulness and hesitation. Wu Zhongyuan doesn't know whether he is thinking deeply or being mediocre at this time. The consequences of oversimplifying complex problems will be serious, but the consequences of oversimplifying simple things will also be serious. Cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

After deliberation for a long time, he finally chose to do it. The reason why he excluded fire was because he felt that the characteristics and attributes of fire were more authentic.

Next is the most difficult one, the sixty-four hexagrams. The sixty-four hexagrams are derived from the eight trigrams. The sixty-four different hexagrams are the specific refinements of the three paths. He needs to find out from these sixty-four hexagrams. Come up with the hexagram that is most consistent with the way of heaven.

He couldn't remember the specific contents of these sixty-four hexagrams, but he had this content on his mobile phone. He had downloaded relevant documents when he was studying the Thirty-six Kanyu Dharma and Ghost Painting Talismans left by his master in school.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan take out his mobile phone and check the documents, Wang Xinran knew that he was really half-assed. He sighed secretly and shook his head helplessly.

The information stored in his mobile phone was incomplete, so Wu Zhongyuan put down his backpack and started rummaging through it. When Lin Qingming was hospitalized, he gave Lin Qingming the ghost painting talisman and the master's medical experience to relieve his boredom, but the Thirty-Six Methods of Kanyu were still in his hands.

"Why did you take out the book?" Wang Xinran couldn't laugh or cry, "Can you do it?"

"It definitely won't work. If it works, I won't have to hide it." Wu Zhongyuan tells the truth. He never pretends to be cool. If he knows it, he knows it, and if he doesn't, he doesn't. There's no point in cheating, and it will be embarrassing if the secret is revealed.

The sixty-four hexagrams are derived from the Eight Diagrams and are divided into eight categories, namely the four-character prefixes of wind, thunder, volcano, and the four-character meanings of heaven, earth, and water. All he needs to do is to find the answer to the way of heaven from the sixty-four hexagrams in these eight categories. That hexagram.

This is an extremely tedious job that requires not only viewing and understanding, but also comparison. When Wu Zhongyuan got tired of standing, he sat down.

Seeing his posture, Wang Xinran knew that he could not figure out the result in a short time, so he turned around and walked out of the stone room, sitting with Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui at the door to rest.

These sixty-four hexagrams are derived from the combination of the eight trigrams. The combination of two things represented by each two hexagrams has its own special interpretation. However, the interpretation depends on the specific referent, and the specific referent needs to be attributed to the corresponding Attitude, for example, the hexagram Shangkanxiakunyi is interpreted as "Sincerely knowing each other and corresponding with each other." This is an auspicious hexagram, which means kindness, friendship, and mutual help. The hidden attitude is support and help.

Whether Heaven's attitude towards the world and all things is supportive and helpful requires careful speculation, which is also the most time-consuming.

At first Wang Xinran and others sat and waited, then they took out dry food and ate and waited, and then they simply fell asleep and waited. Only Wu Zhongyuan was left beside the stone platform, frowning and scratching his head in thought.

Wu Zhongyuan had no idea how long it took. He was a novice, so he could only use the elimination method. In the end, only three hexagrams were left. One hexagram is the upper shock and the lower sunda, which implies the harmony of yin and yang and the meaning of eternity. There is also a hexagram, which is Sunda on the top and Li on the bottom, which means kindness, friendliness and friendly coexistence. The last hexagram is Shang Xun and Xia Kun, which means Dagon is still and still, and is motionless.

The hidden meanings of these three hexagrams are all consistent with the way of heaven, and they represent three different attitudes and tendencies. The first is to ensure one's own eternity, the second is to be kind to all things in the world, and the third is to stand aside and just watch.

These three hexagrams made Wu Zhongyuan think about it and hesitate. What is the way of heaven? What is the attitude of Heaven towards all things in the world?

The way of heaven should exist forever, and the first hexagram should be correct.

But there is a saying that God has the virtue of good things, and the way of heaven should be kind to all things in the world. This is not wrong.

The possibility of the third hexagram is also very high. There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they regard all things as stupid dogs." This sentence does not mean that God treats people as pigs and dogs, but that in the eyes of God, the world There is no essential difference between all living things and pigs and dogs, which corresponds to the idea of ​​standing idly by in the third hexagram.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan finally made a decision and chose three. The reason was very simple. He believed that three was correct. He could not feel that he had lost his position just because his thoughts were consistent with the views of Taiqing Daode Tianzun. Be as stubborn as a donkey and do the opposite.

Turn the copper plate and slowly move the upper Sun and lower Kun towards the way of heaven. The rings of the copper plate can only move forward, not backward. You only have one chance, and you can't change it if you make a mistake.

After aligning the hexagrams with the way of heaven, Wu Zhongyuan tried to move the copper plate of the tunnel. After the first try, he couldn't move it. At this time, the stone chamber suddenly began to shake slightly.

"It's over, the answer is wrong." Wu Zhongyuan was secretly shocked.

Feeling the vibration, Wang Xinran and others stood up eagerly and saw that the bronze ice mirror in the center of the stone chamber was slowly sinking.

"Are you completely confused?" Wang Xinran was overjoyed. The bronze ice mirror was a mechanism of punishment. Its sinking into the ground showed that Wu Zhongyuan's answer was correct.

Wu Zhongyuan turned around in shock, "I only moved one."

"Then what's going on?" Wang Xinran pointed at the sinking bronze ice mirror.

"How did I know?" Wu Zhongyuan ran out with his backpack.

After more than ten seconds, the bronze ice mirror completely sank into the ground, the stone slab turned over, and the ground returned to flatness.

Wang Xinran was the first to react and urged, "You answered the first question correctly, go answer the second one quickly."

"It should be the right answer." Wu Zhongyuan was also very happy, not just because he answered the question correctly, but more because when he answered the question correctly, he understood the way of heaven. The so-called way of heaven is actually to stand aside and watch, and the way of heaven will not do anything. , will not reward or punish, to put it bluntly, there is no way of heaven. Since you don’t do anything, just pretend it doesn’t exist.

It felt so good to solve the problem. Wu Zhongyuan walked to the stone platform excitedly and started to turn the copper plate of the tunnel. The tunnel and the heaven corresponded to each other. This is simple. Choose Yin for two instruments, white tiger for four elephants, Li for Bagua, and sixty-four hexagrams. Choose to work hard, what is authentic? Authentic means giving reciprocal responses. There will be no extra rewards because you are good, nor will there be increased punishment because you are bad. Giving and receiving are always directly proportional, and doing evil is always directly proportional to punishment. , talks about fairness and reciprocity. Only with fairness and reciprocity can all things in the world exist for a long time.

After turning to the corresponding position, the mechanism was not activated. Wang Xinran was a little nervous, "What's going on?"

"Don't worry, it must be right," Wu Zhongyuan said. "These mechanisms are very exquisitely designed. He may also be afraid that I will wander around randomly, so he set a delay to ensure that I am not fooled."

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, there was another slight vibration in the stone chamber. Just where the bronze ice mirror had sunk, a stone platform slowly rose up. On the stone platform was placed a transparent object, about the same size as a computer host, with a colorless substance inside. Liquid, shaped like a fish tank.

The four people stared at the transparent utensil in confusion. When the stone platform stopped, Wu Zhongyuan walked over and took a closer look. They saw that the square utensil was completely sealed and filled with colorless transparent liquid. There were eight square utensils. There is a yellow silk thread protruding from each corner of the inner corner. These threads converge in the center of the square object, and together they involve a round object the size of a pigeon egg.

"Crystal?" Wang Xinran looked at the transparent box.

"No," Lu Jiahui used a strong flashlight to observe, "there are bubbles inside, it should be made of colored glaze."

"What kind of device is this?" Wang Xinran changed his angle and looked around.

"The bottom of the box seems to be connected to the stone platform." Zhang Shukai said.

At this time, Wang Xinran and others' attention was all drawn to the glazed water tank. Only Wu Zhongyuan noticed the writing on the right side of the stone platform. After wiping off the thick dust on it, the writing was revealed.

There are three columns of handwriting, "This Jushan Spiritual Pill was left behind by an ancient alchemist. It is the only one left in the world. It has the power of gathering Qi and discharging turbidity, and has the magical effect of the Purple Qi of the Jin Dynasty. I am giving it to you, sir. Please collect it within six hours." Walk……'
