Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 231
Xiao Ran called Liu Shengli and Xu Er to his side, and briefly introduced them to Yin Yao Yang Yao, 64 hexagrams, etc. After hearing this, they both applauded.After all, at the age when they are still willing to read, this kind of knowledge basically belongs to the category of "ghosts and snakes". Even if no one cares about it, they don't bother to understand it.

Take Liu Shengli as an example. If you have nothing to do, go to the bottom of the overpass or in a certain tunnel to collect two manuscripts of spy war and martial arts novels from someone, and read them secretly under the covers at night. This is the only thing that can be related to the text.

As for Xu Er, it's just because he has a good brain that he can recognize characters faster, and he respects and stays away from anything that has anything to do with the word "culture".

But after this trip, no matter what Liu Shengli thought, Xu Er already understood why his brother could work as an accountant in the county, but he could only be driven back to the village.

"Xiao Gang, you are really capable of writing and martial arts, I will learn more from you in the future..."

Xu Er's tone was full of admiration. In addition to admiration, Liu Shengli's face also had a point of pride in the style of "being honored".

Seeing that the flattering was about to be enjoyed, Xiao Ran ordered the two of them: "Go to the other side alone, and you can do whatever I say. Let's hurry up and don't do anything wrong with high places."

Liu Shengli and Xu Er were ordered to stand separately, one on the left and one on the right.Xiao Ran recalled the knowledge related to the 64 hexagrams in his mind, and deduced the thoughts of Tianling Sanren.

Since none of the basic eight hexagrams are correct switches, there are still 56 hexagrams left.Tianling Sanren feared that the organ would not be complicated enough, so if the upper and lower hexagrams contain the hexagram images of the Qian hexagram that are completely unacceptable, they can also be excluded.In this way, the possibility is narrowed within the 42 hexagrams.

Then narrowing down the scope further, Tianling Sanren valued longevity so much, so they naturally have the taboo concepts of ordinary people. There are 64 auspicious hexagrams in the 33 hexagrams. After removing the hexagrams that have been eliminated before, there are still auspicious hexagrams that can be tried, so there should be 25 left.

What principles should be followed to exclude from the 25 auspicious hexagrams?Xiao Ran scratched his scalp and tried his best to think about the hexagram words of those hexagram images, which one would best suit Tianling Sanren's wishes.

"Solution! Since it is to crack the mechanism to find a way, it is natural to use Jie Gua! Up and down, zero and one, zero and one zero!"

Xiao Ran triumphantly held the steel point in his hand and fanned himself, feeling like Zhuge Liang who was preparing for battle.Old man Tianling, no matter whether you are an old lunatic or an old pedant, in Xiao Ran's heart at this moment, you are just an old hozen who can't find Wuzhishan...

"Manager, it doesn't seem to work..."

After the mechanism in the wall made a noise, the oil lamps that had been pushed in clicked back to their original positions, and nothing happened.

Xiao Ran put down the steel point in his hand, thinking in his heart, it was not Jie.It seems that this solution is indeed a bit superficial. According to the sharp turn of Tianling Sanren's mind, it may not be so simple.

"Try Sheng Gua, the old guy is so confident in harming people, he must think that he is the right way. In the eyes of others, he is deviant, but in his eyes, he is unreasonable. Up and down, zero zero zero, one one zero. "

Upon hearing this, Liu Shengli and Xu Er pressed the corresponding oil lamps in order.After a familiar turning sound, the four oil lamps returned silently to their positions again.

Xiao Ran scratched his head with one hand, while holding the steel point with the other hand, he tapped impatiently on his leg.It's not a promotion, it seems that I think it's a bit too complicated.Maybe Tianling Sanren also want to win a good fortune, so there is no need to make such a detour, just find someone who is auspicious.

"Then... let's try... the Yi Gua. Times come and go. The old guy has failed so many times, so he may wish to be smoother. Up and down, one one zero, zero zero seven. No! Zero one... "

Both Liu Shengli and Xu Er shook their numb hands, and pushed the corresponding oil lamps in according to Xiao Ran's instructions.Sure enough, the oil lamp returned to its original position.

Xiao Ran angrily threw the steel point on the ground, feeling that if the old boy of Tianling Sanren was beside him at this time, he would definitely be able to make a sound of joy.

"I still don't believe it! Ji Ji Gua! Up and down, zero one zero, one zero one!"

"Feng Gua! Up and down, zero and one, one and one!"

"Follow the hexagram! Up and down, zero one one, zero one one!"

……

After trying several auspicious hexagrams in succession, Xiao Ran no longer explained the rationality of each attempt.But all the oil lamps went back the same way, as if the setting of this mechanism had nothing to do with the hexagram from the beginning.

Xiao Ran was greatly shocked, and sat in front of the stone gate with his head bowed and his hands inserted into his hair.Seeing this, Liu Shengli and Xu Er had no choice but to stop temporarily, taking the opportunity to sit beside him to rest.

While rubbing his arms, Liu Shengli asked, "Manager... Tell me, could this thing have nothing to do with that hexagram..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Xiao Ran raised his head and stared at his eyes, scaring both Liu Shengli and Xu Er too scared to make a sound.There is no way to think about it. If even these hexagrams are not the real law of opening the door, then you can really only spend two hours trying to get lucky. Who knows what new situations will arise.

For Xiao Ran, this was no longer a matter of face or shame, but a battle of wits between him and Tianling Sanren.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Ran said, "It really doesn't work, let's just try the evil hexagram!"

Liu Shengli and Xu Er had nothing to do with each other, they swallowed their saliva, so they had no choice but to follow what Xiao Ran said.

Xiao Ran angrily pushed the two away, saying: "Find a place to stay, I'll do it myself!"

Now he was under the pressure to let the three of them get out safely. Liu Shengli and Xu Er could only obey and obey, sitting in a row at the door like elementary school students.

Xiao Ran walked left and right, while muttering: "Die the hurdle, go up and down the hurdle, zero one one, zero one zero, just die here and fall down..."

He pressed the oil lamps in according to the order of the hexagrams. This time, the oil lamps did not pop out immediately, but there was a sound of wheels turning from the top above the stone chamber.

A burst of dust fell with the sound of the mechanism, and two repeating crossbows suddenly popped out from the roof, facing the positions in front of the left and right walls.

Xiao Ran hastily rolled and dodged to dodge, and the rusty crossbow bolts were shot out again, hitting the ground in front of the wall, stirring up a cloud of dust.

He walked up to those crossbow arrows aggressively, drew out his knife and slashed wildly, chopping up the arrows stuck in the ground like leeks.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er saw that he was so emotionally out of control, so they hurried up to persuade him.Liu Shengli said: "Manager, don't be angry. You see, we tried the auspicious hexagram for a long time, although there was no response, but when you tried the bad hexagram, it was really fierce. At least it shows that you have found the pattern correctly. It is the hexagram. Go ahead!"

Xu Er also echoed again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, my brother told me that it is not necessarily a blessing or a curse for the old man with the surname to lose his horse. Let's continue to try..."

Xiao Ran stared at the wall and panted heavily, but he listened to what the two said.It is indeed a hexagram image, and if you lose your horse, you will know it is not a blessing.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other... Good luck and bad luck change!
He suddenly thought of a hexagram, which corresponded to the current unpredictable situation.He hurried to the walls on both sides, and pressed the oil lamps one one zero and zero one zero in sequence.

"Huan hexagram, going up and down, it's inauspicious and not inauspicious, it's both good and bad. Huan rushes to the opportunity to turn danger into safety..."

Xiao Ran took two steps back, while Liu Shengli and Xu Er's eyes widened.This time, the oil lamp did not pop out again, and the entire stone room, even the corridor, made the sound of roaring wheels.
