The prayer flags were hung very densely, with mixed colors and consistent shapes, so I was obviously walking in one direction, but I felt like I was spinning in circles.
I stopped, panting, and felt that continuing like this was not an option and I would have to exhaust myself to death.
Zhou Lan didn't speak clearly this week, and always spoke vaguely, as if someone was listening. They said they were going to act separately, but I couldn't even figure out what to do. What a waste of time.
I sat down a bit angrily. I was really tired and wanted to take a breath.
However, just sitting there, I discovered something.
Maybe it's a visual problem. Now I'm sitting on the ground, looking up at the prayer flags all over the sky, and I always feel that these densely packed prayer flags seem to have some connection with Zhuge Liang's Bagua array.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stand up and organize my thoughts.
If the prayer flags here are hung according to the Bagua formation, then the principles of the Zhouyi Bagua or even the sixty-four hexagrams must be used to decipher them in order to successfully get out of this prayer flag. Otherwise, in the
It's a dead end here, and I can't find the exit.
From what Zhou Lan said just now, he must have been here more than once, so he most likely knows the secrets here. Why don't you tell me directly? You really don't know what these people are doing?
Anyway, I can't figure it out.
I can't worry about that much for the time being. Let's find the exit first. I don't know if there are other ferocious birds and beasts hidden in this prayer flag. If we encounter another monster whose biochemical experiment failed, then there will be no other brother.
You can come and save me.
After sorting out my emotions, I used my breathing to adjust my mood, let my letter slowly calm down, and then carefully observed the surrounding environment.
The prayer flags that I see are roughly the five colors of green, red, yellow, white and black. These five colors correspond to the invisible elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The five elements and eight trigrams and directions are recorded in the river map.
relationship between.
After I found a breakthrough, I suddenly became excited. However, when my grandfather asked me to memorize the He Tu and Luo Shu Tu, I was always sloppy and did not understand it seriously, so now I can only know it but not know why.
On the basis of this, let’s see if we can decipher this Bagua array set up with prayer flags.
The river map is drawn according to the seasons when the five stars appear.
The five stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were called the five latitudes in ancient times, and they are the five stars in the sky. Jupiter is the year star, Mars is the radiant star, Saturn is the town star, Venus is the Taibai star, and Mercury is the star star.
The five stars generally follow the order of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. They appear in the North Pole sky at the county level. Each star travels for seventy-two days, and the five stars combine 360 degrees in the sky.
The river map is based on the celestial phenomena of the five stars, which is also the source of the five elements.
At the spring equinox in March every year, Jupiter is seen in the east, when the spring weather is in season, and vegetation sprouts, this is the concept of the wood element; at the summer solstice in July, Mars is seen in the south, when the summer weather is in season, and the ground is hot, this is the concept of the fire element.
It is formed; at the Autumn Equinox in September, Venus appears in the west, all things are in order, and the killing energy is in season, and the metal element is formed; at the Winter Solstice in November, Mercury is seen in the north, at the time of winter, all things are dormant, and the only thing on the ground is
There are ice, snow and water, and the water movement is formed from this.
It is summer now, and the summer solstice has just passed. Therefore, if I follow the rules of the movement of the five stars and refer to my experience in the enclosed courtyard, I should go south at this time, in the direction of Mars.
According to the correspondence between the five elements and the five colors, gold is white in the south. Therefore, as long as you follow the white prayer flags here, you should be able to go out.
I actually saw through the mystery right away. I really don’t know if it’s because I’m strong or because the builder of the building is incompetent.
I felt a little complacent in my heart, and then I walked along the white prayer flags without thinking too much.
However, reality gave me a slap in the face and made me remember for the rest of my life that you should never underestimate the enemy. Many times what you think is the way to survive is actually the way to death.
I walked for about ten minutes before I started to feel something was wrong.
However, at that time, I didn't realize that I was wrong. I just felt that the road under my feet seemed to be a steep slope with a very low slope, slowly leading me up quietly and silently.
Such an idea just flashed through my mind at first, and I didn't think too much about it.
However, human intuition is very accurate, especially bad intuition, which is almost perfect.
Although it was just a trace of doubt in my heart, the further I walked, the more something was wrong. The light became darker and darker, almost to the point where I couldn't see my fingers, and the colors of the prayer flags couldn't be distinguished.
There must be something I've overlooked here.
I finally dared to face up to my mistakes. When I first discovered something was wrong, I actually had a bit of luck and wanted to take a gamble and see if I could get out of it.
What went wrong?
Every part of the Five Elements and Five Colors Bagua Star Chart is interconnected without any mistakes.
Just when I calmed down and carefully thought about all the details along the way, suddenly, a slight sound came to my ears.
Just from this slight sound, I immediately understood what I had overlooked. It was the fifth tone.
Five elements, five colors and five tones, I have ignored the sound part.
And from the beginning, it was wrong for me to use the He Diagram to judge. I should have used the Luo Shu Diagram.
Using the Luo Shu diagram, combined with the five colors and five tones, I should have walked in the southeast direction. Due to a mistake in judgment, the path I took deviated from the correct exit by 45 degrees from the beginning.
I stood there, listening to the sounds that came and went in the air, in the almost absolute darkness, sweating profusely.
Instruments are my weak point. If I rely on identifying music to find the right direction, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
What should I do? I suddenly lost my idea.
Just when I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do, and I was already looking forward to whether Zhou Lan or Chen Mo would show up, a long flute sound came quietly from the distance.
It was the flute sound I heard in the kitchen of Laoye Temple last night, and it felt the same.
Could it be that the man who played the flute that day also followed us to the bottom of Poyang Lake?
Is it a temple blessing?
Lao Miao Zhu looks to be almost eighty years old, so the possibility of following us to the bottom of Poyang Lake is relatively small.
Could it be that it is Xiang jade.
Because in the tunnel, it was Xiangyu who played the bone flute to lure away the angel long-tailed silkworm chrysalis. At that time, the conversation she had with the dead Lao Li was really thought-provoking in retrospect.
If it was Xiangyu, why didn't she come out to me directly instead of using the same obscure method?
I don't care about so much right now. Let's follow the sound of the flute and go ahead to see what's going on.
I said to myself, and then moved slowly towards the direction of the flute, groping in the darkness.
The further I walked, the clearer the sound of the flute became. I must be getting closer to the person playing the flute.
Although I don't know whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, I have no other choice. Since I can't figure out the direction, let the other party move first.
After maybe ten minutes of groping in the dark, the sound of the flute surrounded me very clearly, and it felt like the flute player was right next to me.
At the same time, there was a white light that appeared not far in front of me. The light seemed to be covered with a layer of water mist and was a bit blurry. Moreover, the light seemed to be just a light, because it did not shine.
To everything around, but finally a little light in this darkness.
I didn't think too much and quickened my pace towards the light.
