The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 188 Gossip and Eight Tripods
I walk into Dongchuan, look back every ten steps.

When Chengdu is in chaos, there is no such thing as Huanhua Thatched Cottage.

Who is the hero in Zizhong, who has been well-known in this state for a long time.

Open your arms and drink my wine, the wine is full of swords and dragons roar.

The black hat whisks the green snail millet, and the purple clothes take the red clothes away.

——Excerpt from Du Fu's "Meeting Song for Yan Er Farewell"

……

Daoist Qingshan said: "The true energy in your body comes from Kan Ding, right?"

Bai Fu was amazed and asked, "How did senior know?"

Taoist Qingshan didn't answer directly: "God's will is subtle and mysterious, how can mortals guess? Kan Ding must have his reasons for choosing you. Otherwise, why would I waste time on you, a strange boy."

Bai Fu couldn't hold back his face, he said in his heart: "Although this is the reason, it doesn't need to be so straightforward, right?"

Taoist Qingshan seemed to guess what Bai Fu was thinking, and said: "You want to say that I am utilitarian, right? This is not utilitarianism, but reality. As the saying goes, the world is not benevolent, and all things are treated as dogs.

It was also a coincidence that I got the power of Gen Ding back then.Speaking of which, it is of the same origin as you.So when you and the Black Dragon Yaodao fought, I sensed the power from Kan Ding, so I went down the mountain to investigate. "

Bai Fu's face was filled with joy, regarding the true energy of Kan Ding in his body, even the master didn't know the exact origin.I am not good at driving myself.Fortunately, today, I had the opportunity to listen to the explanation of this senior expert.

Taoist Qingshan continued: "Kan Ding is also called Yong Ding, which comes from the Kan hexagram in the Xiantian Eight Diagrams. Kan Gua, located in the due west of Fuxi's Xiantian Eight Diagrams, represents water, so water is the source of your strength. If you want to To control Kanding Zhenqi, one must be familiar with the nature of water and use water to practice.

You fell from the cliff to survive, apart from Ni Lin's spiritual power, it is also inseparable from this cold pool and giant waterfall. "

Bai Fu recalled his experience of surviving falling off a cliff in Nether Valley, which was indeed related to the giant waterfall.At the same time, he also gave a general account of how he obtained Kan Ding's true energy.

Li Xuexuan stood up and bowed to the Taoist in Qingshan, saying: "Senior thinks deeply, far beyond the reach of this younger generation. Please forgive me for the offense just now."

Taoist Qingshan smiled and said: "It's not easy for you, a girl, to admit your mistake. Well, excuse me."

The three of them looked at each other, and laughed loudly, their grievances and enmities disappearing.

Taoist Qingshan continued: "If you want to talk about Kan Ding, you must first talk about gossip. You should all be familiar with the Book of Changes and gossip, right?

"Book of Changes·Xi Ci Xia" says: "In ancient times, Bao Xi was the king of the world. If you look up, you can see the image in the sky, and if you look down, you can see the law on the ground; the writing of watching birds and beasts is suitable for the ground; close to the body, far away." Taking all kinds of things, so I started to gossip, to understand the virtue of the gods, and to empathize with all things. '

The gossip is in a row, and the image is in it; therefore, it is important, and the line is in it; the rigidity and softness are pushed together, and the change is in it; the words are ordered, and the movement is in it.

Bagua is divided into congenital gossip and acquired gossip.It is reported that the innate gossip was created by Fuxi, it is the ancients' exploration of the origin of the world, and it is a complete map of the world.

"Book of Changes Shuo Gua Zhuan": "The heaven and the earth are positioned, the mountains and rivers are ventilated, the thunder and the wind are thinner, and the water and fire do not shoot each other."The eight trigrams are wrong, those who count the past go along, and those who know the coming go against it, so it is easy to reverse the number.

The Qian hexagram is the sky, above.The hexagram Kun is the earth, and this is called "heaven and earth positioning".

Gen hexagram is a mountain, in the northwest.Dui Gua is Ze, in the southeast.The swamps and lakes are at the foot of the mountain, and the lake water evaporates into rain under the sunshine, and the rain and mist fall to the mountains and become streams, which flow down and merge into swamps and lakes.The two positions are opposite and complement each other, which is the so-called 'Shanze Ventilation'.

The Zhen hexagram is thunder, which is in the northeast, and the Xun hexagram is wind, which is in the southwest.The wind blows the clouds, the clouds collide, the collision generates electricity, and the electricity shocks and thunders.The stronger the wind, the stronger the thunder, and the stronger the thunder, the stronger the wind.This is called 'thunder and wind are thin'.

Li Gua is the sun, it is fire, and it is in the east.Kan hexagram is the moon, water, in the west.The east rises and the west falls, that is, 'water and fire do not shoot each other'.

It is reported that the gossip of the day after tomorrow was drawn by King Wen of Zhou.The innate gossip is to explain the origin of the world, and the acquired gossip is to express the law of the world's operation.

"Book of Changes Shuo Gua Zhuan": "The emperor came out from Zhen, Qi from Xun, meeting from each other, serving from Kun, talking from Dui, fighting from Qian, working from Kan, and making words from Gen...".

Each hexagram has three lines, the eight hexagrams are 24 lines, representing 24 solar terms, the Zhen hexagram represents the vernal equinox, the Xun hexagram represents the beginning of summer, the Li hexagram is the summer solstice, the Kun hexagram is the beginning of autumn, the Dui hexagram is the autumn equinox, the Qian hexagram is the beginning of winter, and the Kan hexagram represents winter solstice.

Whether it is the Xiantian Bagua diagram or the Houtian Bagua diagram, there is a blank part in the middle of the two. The Xiantian Gua diagram is called "Zero" and the Houtian Gua diagram is called "Five". This is where Tai Chi is located.

Tai Chi represents Yin and Yang, that is, Liangyi, and Liangyi produces four phenomena, namely Shaoyin, Shaoyang, Laoyin and Laoyang.The four images produce eight trigrams, and the eight trigrams are then deduced into 64 hexagrams.

Gossip matches Jiugong.Jiugong refers to the nine directions in Luoshu. Generally, Houtian gossip is put into Luoshu according to the directions, and the middle is left blank to form the so-called "Nine Palaces and Bagua".

Houtian Bagua is matched with Luoshu, and its corresponding relationship is "one palace Kan (north), two palaces Kun (southwest), three palaces Zhen (east), four palaces Xun (southeast), five palaces, six palaces Qian (northwest), seven palaces Gongdui (west), Bagonggen (northeast), Jiugongli (south). '

Therefore, Dayu's nine tripods, of which the eight tripods are related to the eight trigrams, represent the eight forces of heaven and earth, mountains, thunder, wind, sun, moon, water and fire. These eight forces are not only the source of the origin of the world, but also the power to run the world. "

Li Xuexuan asked curiously, "Then what does the Ninth Cauldron represent?"

Taoist Qingshan paused, as if recalled.He pondered for a long time before he opened his mouth: "Heaven, earth and man are three talents. Man is the medium that communicates with heaven and earth. This ninth cauldron is the human cauldron. Only through the ninth cauldron can the power contained in the eight cauldrons be lent to heaven and have the power to summon the gods." .”

Taoist Qingshan said to Bai Fu: "How you obtained the Qi of the Yongding Cauldron, you also talked about it just now. According to this, you are probably one of the few in the ages, and you can induce it without the need of the Ninth Cauldron. A person with the power of the eight tripods. Without the restraint of the ninth tripod, if any one of the eight tripods is possessed by the true energy of an ordinary person, the physical body of a mortal will be unable to bear the burden over time, and the meridians will be cut off, and life will be lost."

The two of Bai Li looked at each other, their faces turned pale with shock. Could it be that they are doomed after all?
The Taoist in Qingshan smiled dumbly, and said: "Don't worry, the Qilin blood poured on your body has strengthened your bones and muscles, coupled with the healing effect of Qilin's true essence, you have been reborn and reborn. As long as If you no longer absorb the true energy of other cauldrons, this level will be passed."

Bai Fu hurriedly asked: "Senior, do you know where the Ninth Cauldron is?"

The Taoist in Qingshan waved his hand, and said casually: "Don't bother to inquire. Although this Ninth Cauldron can channel the power of the Eight Cauldrons, it is by no means a good one. If you don't need it to help you cross the catastrophe, the farther you can hide, the better." .Besides, you kid, how can you have such a good life, and you can get a second chance."

After saying that, a pained look appeared on his face, he didn't want to recall the past anymore, and he decided not to mention the matter of the Nine Cauldrons.

　I walk into Dongchuan, look back every ten steps.

　　When Chengdu is in chaos, there is no such thing as Huanhua Thatched Cottage.

　　Who is the hero in Zizhong, who has been well-known in this state for a long time.

　　Open your arms and drink my wine, the wine is full of swords and dragons roar.

　　The black hat whisks the green snail millet, and the purple clothes take the red clothes away.

　　Burning wax on a copper plate spews out the sun, how can it promote knees at the beginning.

　　At dusk, the owner's door is knocked, who said that the glue is in the paint.

　　Everything is gone, and the joy has not been seen in a hundred years.

　　The gods are devoted to the real Jiashi, and the long-term customers are more worried and sicker now.

　　Looking high on the world and worrying about it, the whole body is in the same mood.

　　It is never too late for the elders to meet the king, as if the king must ask the ancients.
