Reboot the heyday

Chapter 3309 Five Elements

"Today, tonight?"

Pei Baicai was stunned and looked at Wang Taika in a state of collapse: "Oppa!"

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Wang Taika looked at the coordinates carefully, compared them with the map, and said in surprise: "Strange, there are no buildings here. The previous two coordinates directly showed buildings, but this coordinate is just a road."

Pei Baicai said: "Oppa, I suddenly had an idea, or an association. I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but..."

Wang Taika patted Pei Baicai on the back and said gently: "Speak boldly. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I can protect you. Those conspiracies and tricks will stay away from you."

Pei Baicai pursed her lips and said, "In the summer camp incident, the victims were children. The victims of the Sewol ferry were middle school students. Itaewon is the favorite gathering place for young men and women, and it is a bustling commercial street. Do you think there is some connection between them? And if this is true, the three groups are actually the same group of people, all born between 90 and 95!"

"Sacrifice?"

Wang Taika thought about the behavior of that group of people and had some suspicions in his mind. He said, "I will tell the Itaewon incident to the officials I trust and let them solve it. We don't have the power to evacuate the people in Itaewon."

Pei Baicai nodded: "I know, I just want to save people, but I am not a saint. No matter what time, I must ensure my own safety before thinking about saving people."

Wang Taika touched Pei Baicai's head with satisfaction: "As expected of our cabbage! Yes, that's it."

In fact, the person Wang Taika decided to notify was Li Chenglong. Although Li Chenglong crippled Wang Taika's limbs, after treatment, he was not completely disabled, but indeed disabled.

Li Chenglong is different from Lin Zhexun. He has ideals and wants to get things done, and he will not be confused by hatred and lose his mind. So even if Li Chenglong hates Wang Taika, he will not ignore what Wang Taika said.

By informing Li Chenglong of this matter, Wang Taika has done his best.

After a phone call, Wang Taika finished explaining what happened and hung up without caring about Li Chenglong's reaction.

Then his attention returned to the last code of "Watching the Lord's Revelation". Pei Baicai's words just now gave Wang Taika an idea.

contact!

If this was a premeditated plan, then there must be a connection between them, just like the four kings who all have their own rules when they go to kill people.

There is an inherent logic behind any bizarre thing.

If the logic is not self-consistent, it is like a program with a problem, and it will inevitably crash.

Wang Taika studied it for a while and felt that although what Pei Baicai said was a clue, it was not reasonable because the ages of the victims of Sanfeng Department Store did not match.

  Or maybe age is a relevant condition, but not a necessary one. So other than that, what is the necessary internal connection between these things?

Wang Taika began to look at the only remaining numbers that had not been cracked. He wrote them down and tried to arrange them in combinations, but none of them made sense. They looked like garbled code.

"Maybe these numbers are useful, but they have nothing to do with the internal logic of these things." Wang Taika analyzed: "The role of this number, compared with the events that have already happened, does not have any related clues. Maybe we have all been misled by the movie, and these numbers are not the number of deaths, but have other meanings."

Pei Baicai nodded, and then said: "If Itaewon is real, Oppa, this is definitely not the last time, there will definitely be a sequel."

Wang Taika asked: "Why do you say that?"

"I am also guessing, because," Pei Baicai picked up the book "Watching the Lord's Revelation" and turned to the end, saying, "Oppa, look, there is a blank space under these numbers, and it looks like there is still a fifth of the space. Does this mean that there is at least one thing that has not been written down?"

Wang Taika was suddenly struck by lightning and had an epiphany.

"Yes, the timeline of the things recorded here is extended from the past to the present. Until today, it records Itaewon right now, which is what is about to happen. Then, there may be something that will happen in the future, but it has not been planned yet, so it does not appear here!"

"If we just look at the blank space, then there is a final set of numbers? This guess may not be reasonable. After all, this thing can be printed by itself, so it's easy to say what to do. But if it is really five, then what does the number five mean?"

Wang Taika thought of the matter of the Four Heavenly Kings again, and then he had a strange idea.

  The four heavenly kings are east, west, south, and north. The places where they were distributed at that time were the four directions of South Korea. Does the number five have a similar reference?

Although these things are from China, Japan and South Korea also believe in them. Don't forget the South Korean flag, which still has the Yin-Yang fish without the Yin-Yang eyes, and the eight trigrams without the four trigrams.

If it is four, then there are too many things that can represent four, such as the four directions and the four symbols.

But if you say five, the only thing that comes to mind may be the five elements?

At this time, Wang Taika had to re-examine the previous cases and the ways in which the victims died.

Sewol is undoubtedly the water of the five elements.

Sampoong Department Store, this kind of collapse event should be the earth of the five elements.

The summer camp fire should be the fire of the five elements.

There are only two types left: gold and wood. Which one is Itaewon?

Wang Taika knew a little about these things. Don't forget that many years ago in Tianjin, he and that person had met a Taoist priest.

  At that time, the Taoist priest was selling books on the street, all of which were Taoist classics. Wang Taika even discussed Taoism with that guy, and the old Taoist priest even said that Wang Taika had a good understanding! (The end of the third volume of the first part)

But my memory of that time is a little unclear. I only remember that before we left, the old Taoist priest said that he might become a bad person in the future.

Look, Wang Taika is now a bad guy, all because of the curse, it was not his intention at all. But because of this memory, Wang Taika remembered the book he picked up from the old Taoist's stall at that time, I think the name was "Five Elements of Life, Restraint and Transformation"?

The mutual generation and restraint of the five elements is due to the nature of heaven and earth.

Water gives birth to wood, because water is warm and makes trees grow.

Wood gives birth to fire because wood is warm and fire is hidden within it.

Fire creates earth because fire is hot and can burn wood, turning the wood into ashes.

Earth gives birth to gold because gold is hidden in the mountains and is born from moisture. Earth gathers to form mountains, and where there are mountains, there must be stones.

Metal produces water because the Shaoyin Qi is warm, moist and flowing. Metal is produced by water, and forged metal can also be turned into water.

This is mutual generation. The five elements generate each other: metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal.

The many overcome the few; therefore water overcomes fire.

Essence overcomes hardness, therefore fire overcomes metal.

Hardness overcomes softness, therefore metal overcomes wood.

Concentration is better than dispersion, therefore wood is better than earth.

The real is better than the empty, and the homeland is better than the water.

This is mutual restraint. The five elements restrain each other: metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal.

Wood produces fire. Too much wood will smother the fire. Too much fire will burn the wood.

Fire creates earth. Too much fire will burn the earth. Too much earth will extinguish the fire.

Earth produces gold. Too much earth will bury the gold. Too much gold will leak out of the earth.

Metal is born with water, if there is too much metal, water is weak, and if the water is overflowing, metal will sink.

Water itself produces trees, and when there is too much water, the trees float. When the wood is strong, the water dries up.

The law does not arise in isolation. Although the five elements restrain each other, they also generate each other. They generate and restrain each other, and transform into each other.

Wang Taika suddenly realized something was wrong when he looked at these things again.

If we look at it according to the theory of the Five Elements, the Sewol Ferry is still water, the Sampoong Department Store is still earth, but the summer camp is no longer fire.

The circumstances of the case at that time were that the children were locked in a small compartment converted from a container. Although there was a fire outside, the children were essentially scalded to death or smoked to death, not burned directly by the fire.

In the Five Elements, fire overcomes metal. For a tin box, the corresponding element should be metal.

So the remaining ones should be wood and fire.

Wang Taika thought about these intergeneration and mutual restraint relationships and suddenly realized: "I was misled by inertial thinking. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are a five-element cycle, not a before-after relationship. So it doesn't mean that gold must be the first. In this matter, earth is the first!"

Only the five elements are mutually generated, and wood and fire are connected.

So the big rule should be the mutual generation of the five elements. And the small rule is the mutual restraint of the five elements. In this way, we can achieve mutual generation and restraint, and balance yin and yang.

Of course, this is just Wang Taika’s guess, but if you follow this line of thought, then you can figure out the things that follow.

Because according to the chronological order in which events occurred, they were Sampoong Department Store, Summer Camp, and Sewol Ferry, which happen to be earth, metal, and water.

The five elements produce each other: earth produces metal, metal produces water, and water produces wood.

So the next Itaewon must be the wood of the five elements! That's it!

"I understand. I figured it out." Wang Taika hugged Pei Baicai all of a sudden: "It turns out that these sects are killing people according to the law of the five elements, and they even want to sacrifice something."

Pei Baicai was a little confused and scared: "Five elements? I know that, but what's the use of this order?"

"Who knows?" Wang Taika suddenly sighed: "The Five Elements kill people, maybe they want to become gods!"

"Ah?" Pei Baicai was stunned.

(This section is free: Please don’t think I am being lame about this section on the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements. This is an excerpt from the serious Taoist Zhengyi School’s “The Generation, Restraint and Transformation of the Five Elements” and “The True Explanation of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Stems and Branches”. It is an internal textbook that I specifically asked for from certified Taoist priests, and ordinary people really can’t see it!)
