Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 139 Zhou Tian Gua Mirror
  Da Jinya was a little confused when he saw Bai Jing's appearance, but he also knew that Bai Jing most likely knew this object. He immediately heard Da Jinya ask: "Mr. Bai, do you know this object?"

Bai Jing nodded with joy and said, "Yes, I know this thing. It is a hexagram mirror with two hexagram talismans."

As he said that, Bai Jing pressed his hands on the two raised places on the back of the hexagram mirror, tightened and rotated them, and Bai Jing's movements were completed in one go.

The next moment, Bai Jing was seen taking off two hexagram symbols from the hexagram mirror.

Bai Jing looked at it carefully and was sure that although the two hexagram talismans were not the same set as the Eyeless Dragon Talisman, they were treasures of the same level.

Because the two hexagram talismans are the Eyeless Phoenix Talisman and the Eyeless Rat Talisman respectively.

As the saying goes, a phoenix cannot see fire, but a rat cannot see itself.

This is another set of hexagram mirrors corresponding to the Guixu hexagram mirror.

Bai Jing didn't know what this hexagram mirror was called, so he might as well call it Zhoutian hexagram mirror.

This time, Bai Jing not only got a pair of hexagram mirrors, but also two bronze talismans. This trip was considered complete.

At this moment, Huo Yanran, who was conducting an auction on the stage, accidentally glanced at the second floor and noticed that Bai Jing had taken down two small bronze objects from the mirror he had just auctioned.

Suddenly, Huo Yanran couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect that Bai Jing could figure out something that so many of the nine sects hadn't understood in just a few clicks.

Suddenly, Huo Yanran became curious about Bai Jing.

Bai Jing didn't notice this, but looked at the Eyeless Phoenix Talisman and Eyeless Rat Talisman in his hands.

Holding these two hexagram talismans in his hands, Bai Jing felt them carefully and was sure that they were indeed genuine copper talismans.

Then, Bai Jing looked at the four grooves on the hexagram mirror.

I can't help but think about whether I can use the dragon talisman here after I go back.

It would be great if it could be used.

Speaking of the hexagram mirror, we have to mention the candle mirror.

Divination by candlelight in a mirror and divination by candlelight in a tortoise are two methods of divination used by the ancients.

In ancient times, Fuxi created the Xiantian Bagua. This innate Bagua spread to the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. King Wen of Zhou invented the Houtian Bagua based on the numbers of the nine palaces in the Hetu Luoshu.

King Wen of Zhou Dynasty integrated and deduced the innate and acquired hexagrams, and finally deduced the sixteen hexagrams of the whole sky, which are said to be able to "exhaustively study the changes of heaven and earth and reveal the hidden secrets of heaven".

The ancient people's divination and deduction required the use of specific tools to obtain certain images (hexagrams), and then interpret them in specific ways, so as to divine the location of space, the rise and fall of life, misfortunes and other events.

Divination by candlelight on a turtle and divination by candlelight on a mirror are two methods of divination.

The first is tortoise divination by candlelight, which is to first burn the tortoise shell with fire to cause cracks in the tortoise shell, and then use the candlelight to image the image, and then interpret the resulting image to perform divination.

The candle-mirror divination mainly uses the candlelight to pass through the copper holes of the hexagram talisman, and the interpretation is performed after the image is formed on the back of the mirror.

The hexagram mirror is a tool used for imaging.

On the back of the hexagram mirror is a Zhoutian copper ring. Each copper ring can be embedded with a corresponding hexagram symbol. Then, by turning the machine on the back of the hexagram mirror in a specific way, the complete hexagram image can be obtained.

The eight acquired bronze hexagrams all have a common feature, that is, whether they are dragons, fish, humans, ghosts, gods, rats, pheasants, or phoenixes, they all have eyes.

And this eyeless place is the hexagram eye. The hexagram eye can leak through the candlelight and form an image on the back of the mirror.

Then, by interpreting the images through the inherited secret method, you can get what you want to know.

The complete sixteen hexagrams of the whole sky cover everything between heaven and earth. Through the complete hexagrams, everything in the whole world can be deduced.

In other words, as long as you get and use the sixteen hexagrams of the whole sky, you can achieve omniscience. From this, we can understand the incredible nature of this thing.

However, what Bai Jing knows is that four of the eight talismans were created by the Nanhai Hentian Tribe. As for who or what force created the remaining four talismans, it is unknown.

Bai Jing didn't think much about it. If one day he could collect the eight talismans and the two hexagram mirrors, he would definitely be able to get a glimpse of the truth.

Afterwards, Bai Jing put away the hexagram mirror and the bronze talisman.

The auction was still going on, but Bai Jing had no interest in the remaining items.

Soon, the auction ended, and Bai Jing went to the registration office to register and was ready to leave.

But at this moment, a voice stopped Bai Jing.

"Sir, please stay."

Bai Jing was no stranger to this voice. He was serious about Huo Yanran, who had previously presided over the auction.

Bai Jing looked back, and sure enough, it was Huo Yanran.

Huo Yanran came to Bai Jing, bowed slightly to Bai Jing, and then smiled and said: "Sir, can I meet you?"

Should I say it or not, it was only after seeing her up close that I realized that Huo Yanran was indeed a beauty who was so enchanting that she wouldn't pay for her life.

There is charm in the dignified atmosphere, and there is distance in the closeness.

At the same time, when talking, it also makes people feel like a spring breeze.

At this time, Da Jinya came over and saw Bai Jing talking to Huo Yanran. He immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, do you still know Miss Huo's family?"

Hearing Da Jinya's words, Huo Yanran immediately knew Bai Jing's identity, and immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that it's Professor Bai in person. Professor Bai's name is well known in the entire archaeological world."

When Bai Jing heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to take it, it's just a coincidence."

After another polite exchange, Bai Jing and Huo Yanran each left their contact information and said goodbye.

Watching Bai Jing leave the Crescent Hotel, Huo Yanran looked at it for a while, then smiled and murmured: "Bai Jing, Mr. Bai? He is such an interesting person."

At this moment, Bai Jing was being teased by Da Jinya that he was out of luck.

Bai Jing just smiled and shook his head.

How could he not see that Huo Yanran was definitely not a simple character.

He still knew something about the characters in Tomb Raider Notes and Laojiu Sect, but he didn't remember such a person in the original work.

But since this person's surname is Huo, he should be the Huo family, the head of the lower three sects among the nine sects.

Among these nine gates, the upper three gates are officials, the middle three gates are thieves, and the lower three gates are merchants.

The Huo family is the largest in terms of business among the three families.

Presumably it is for this reason that the Crescent Hotel, the stronghold of the Nine Gates, is hosted by the Huo family.

And how could Huo Yanran, who can be the public face of the Crescent Hotel, be a simple character.

But Bai Jing didn't care much about it.

After leaving the Crescent Hotel, I bought three roast chickens as usual and walked towards home.
