"Ah! How did I forget this?" Gu Anqi pursed her lips and straightened up in disappointment.

"An Qi, it doesn't matter. The Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty are such a rare treasure. The clues must be hidden very secretly. Don't worry if you can't find it in a while." Chu Tianci smiled and said reassuringly.

"Why is it just the two of you, Lianshan?"

Hearing Yue Qianling's question, Chu Tianci realized that he hadn't seen anyone from Xiao Lianshan all morning.

"There is a young man at the Bagua Pavilion, who is burning incense and worshiping Buddha devoutly. He has been worshiping for a whole morning." The tourists who came from outside whispered.

Chu Tianci thought of Xiao Lianshan, except for him, few people would stubbornly do something.

When I walked to the Eight Diagrams Pavilion, I saw Xiao Lianshan who had fallen over while walking. The incense burner in the Eight Diagrams Pavilion was full of incense, and there was a large handful in front of it. I didn't need to ask to know that he bought it.

"Lian Shan, you... what are you doing?" Chu Tianci walked over and asked curiously.

"Brother, the Taoist priest said...the one enshrined in the Eight Diagrams Pavilion is Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism. It will come true." Xiao Lianshan was obviously in a daze, rubbing his forehead non-stop. "Brother... I... I'm very dizzy."

Chu Tianci looked at the incense burner. According to Xiao Lianshan, he walked three times along the Eight Diagrams Pavilion, then walked three times backwards, and then offered incense and kowtowed. For a whole morning, Xiao Lianshan circled the Eight Diagrams Pavilion without getting dizzy. No wonder.

"Lian Shan, you burn so much incense, what are you asking for?" Yue Qianling was dumbfounded.

"Hehe, I'll burn incense for you all, and bless you all safe and sound." Xiao Lianshan smiled honestly.

Gu Anqi handed over a tissue, saw that Xiao Lianshan was holding incense in his hand, smiled delicately, and helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Brother Lianshan, there are only three of us, you don't need so much incense."

"Not only you...but also my comrades in arms!" Xiao Lianshan took a deep breath with a sad expression on his face. "A lot of brothers who went to the front line together didn't come back alive. I remember the names of 170 or [-]. I put a stick of incense on them, and bless them to reincarnate as soon as possible, and the next life will be rich and prosperous."

Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi looked at Xiao Lianshan's dejected look, their eyes were a little moist, Chu Tianci walked over and patted him but couldn't say anything.

Chu Tianci raised his head and looked at the Bagua Pavilion in front of him.

The layout of the Bagua Pavilion is compact, exquisite and generous. The overall building has three floors. It is built on a heavy platform. There are tortoise-patterned doors and cloud-flowered windows on all sides, and the south-facing main entrance is a relief of the twelve zodiac signs of Tai Chi, which is simple and elegant in shape.The whole pavilion is made of wood and stone, connected by tenons and tenons, without a wedge or a bolt. Instead, holes are chiseled with squares, poles, squares, and jues, which are diagonally pierced through straight sleeves, criss-crossed, and threaded.

Inside the Eight Diagrams Pavilion, there is a statue of Lao Tzu, which looks like it went west from Hangu Pass, with the head of a green bull looking west.

Chu Tianci frowned slowly, and said thoughtfully.

"This Bagua Pavilion..."

"There's no way the Eight Diagrams Pavilion will have any clues!" Yue Qianling said with certainty from the side. "In the 12th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Bagua Pavilion was burned down because of a fire. It was later rebuilt according to its original appearance."

"No, I mean the location of the Bagua Pavilion is wrong!" Chu Tianci said in surprise, looking around.

"Brother Tianci, why is the direction of the Bagua Pavilion wrong?" Gu Anqi asked curiously.

"I came out of Hangu Pass from the west, so the head of the green ox looks west, but the couplets on both sides of the Bagua Pavilion don't mean that."

Gu Anqi looked up at the couplet that Chu Tianci was referring to.

The stars are connected to the wells and the spirits are hanging down, and the hexagrams are Kunwei and the group of immortals.

Yue Qianling walked to Gu Anqi's side and said calmly.

"This couplet is also restored according to the original appearance. F, refers to the degree and order of the constellations; Jing, refers to the well star in the 28 constellations. The meaning of the couplet is: this Bagua Pavilion corresponds to the well star in the sky, and there is always a bright light; The subordinates occupy the positions of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui Bagua, and there are often crowds of immortals."

"But the main entrance of the Bagua Pavilion is facing Zhenwei, which is a tree and belongs to the east!" Chu Tianci said with a frown. "The head of the green ox originally looked west, but now it looks east?"

"Looking east... so what's wrong with looking east, the Qingyang Palace is distributed according to the central axis, maybe it's just a layout requirement, there's nothing to make a fuss about." Yue Qianling spread her hands and said.

"Impossible. Qingyang Palace is a very important Taoist temple. There is no reason why things should not be distinguished. What's more, Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism is enshrined here. It is even more impossible to be so ridiculous." Chu Tianci said decisively.

Xiao Lianshan didn't understand what Chu Tianci was talking about, but felt dizzy and nauseous.

"Brother, the pillars of the Bagua Pavilion are all engraved with dragons. I am very dizzy. Looking at these pillars, the dragons on them seem to be moving."

It was only then that Chu Tianci noticed the stone pillars around the Bagua Pavilion. The Bagua Pavilion was chiseled from sixteen huge stones into a double row of stone pillars, among which the eight dragon pillars standing on the octagonal corners of the outer eaves, soaring through the clouds and riding the fog, are vivid reliefs and hollowed out. Eight golden dragons, coiled around the pillar, are majestic.

"There is another legend about the coiled dragon on this stone pillar." Yue Qianling saw that Chu Tianci's gaze was on the stone pillar, and walked to her side and said. "It is said that when the reconstruction of the Bagua Pavilion was completed, the Panlong on the right stone pillar facing the Sanqing Hall in the north was revived, trying to leave the pillar and ascend to the sky, but was discovered by the envoy of the moon imperial duty, and he nailed it to death with a divine fist. On the stone pillar, from some point, the dragon left a fist imprint, which is still clearly visible.”

Chu Tianci raised his head suddenly, as if thinking of something.

"It is absolutely impossible to make mistakes in the direction of the Bagua Pavilion. The only thing that can be explained is that the builders did it on purpose!"

"Brother, okay, why did you deliberately fix the wrong direction of the Bagua Pavilion?" Xiao Lianshan held the incense with a blank expression on his face.

"All the buildings are right, the only one that is wrong..." Gu Anqi slowly widened her eyes and said excitedly. "The only one who is wrong is the one who left a clue!"

Yue Qianling looked at the Bagua Pavilion in surprise, but there was nothing unusual about it.

"The clues are left in the Eight Diagrams Pavilion? Impossible, this pavilion has been renovated many times, and there are more than ten records in the archives, even if it was destroyed, it would have been destroyed long ago."

Chu Tianci shook his head and walked back and forth a few steps, whispering in his mouth.

"It won't stay in a place that can be destroyed artificially. Where can clues be preserved forever?"

"Sister Qianling, did you just say that this was built according to the original appearance, did it not move at all?" Gu Anqi said.

Yue Qianling smiled unsurely.

"After all, the original site has been burnt down, and it was rebuilt later. Although it is exactly the same, who can guarantee that it will be exactly the same."

Chu Tianci's eyes fell on the Panlong on the stone pillar, and walked around the Bagua Pavilion.

"One, two, three... 37...."

It took Yue Qianling a long time to understand the Panlong that Chu Tian gave on the stone pillars, and she said it easily beside her.

"Don't count, and don't look at what I learned. There are 81 dragons carved in the whole pavilion, symbolizing Lao Tzu's 81 transformation."

Chu Tianci stopped at the spot and thought for a while in silence, then said as if he had realized something.

"In addition, there are 64 hexagrams, which are designed according to the Taoist theory of yin and yang and gossip. "

Gu Anqi suddenly raised her head and looked very excited.

"I know where the clues are hidden!"

"In? Where?" Yue Qianling asked in surprise.

"Brother Tianci said that the clues must be hidden in a place that others will not notice, and will not be destroyed. There are 64 hexagrams in this gossip pavilion, and the hexagrams will never disappear. That is to say, the clues are hidden in the 64 hexagrams!"

Chu Tianci also raised the corners of his mouth with an excited smile on it.

"An Qi is right, the secret is hidden in these 64 hexagrams!"

"Hexagram 64... Brother, there are so many hexagrams, how do you know which hexagram has a clue?" Xiao Lianshan asked puzzled.

"Hehehe, I already know!" Chu Tianci said with a confident smile.

"Can you finish talking at once?" Yue Qianling urged anxiously.

Chu Tianci said with a smug smile on his face.

"Didn't you just say that there are a total of 81 dragons on the stone pillar, symbolizing the 81 changes of Lao Tzu. It is rumored that there is a coiled dragon that wants to ascend, but it is discovered by the envoy of the moon royal duty, and it is nailed to death on the stone pillar with a divine fist. One is missing, and it becomes eighty dragons, the purpose of this rumor is actually to cover up the number eighty!"

"Eighty?!" Gu Anqi pouted and shook her head, looking a little disappointed. "Brother Tianci, that's not right. There are only 64 hexagrams in gossip, and eighty... There is no eighty hexagrams?"

Chu Tianci pointed to Lao Tzu enshrined in the Bagua Pavilion and said with a smile.

"This is where the Bagua Pavilion hides its secrets. As I said just now, the head of the green ox looks west, but the direction of the Bagua Pavilion is just the opposite. The east and west are reversed, that is to say, the left and right are reversed. If eighty is reversed, it is eighteen!"

"Eighteen! Eighteen hexagrams are Gu hexagrams." Gu Anqi thought for a while and said seriously. "Yuanheng, benefiting from Dachuan; first Jia three days, then Jia three days."

"Gu hexagrams are suitable for sacrifices, and they are good for crossing mountains and rivers. The upper nine of Gu hexagrams are: don't do things for princes, do noble things, and refer to those who protect and uphold the Tao and obey the Tao." Chu Tianci turned back to look at Lao Tzu in the hall Like, say it with confidence. "The head of the green bull looks west, and it actually points to the east. If I'm not mistaken, there is a mountain to the east of the Bagua Pavilion where Taoism is promoted and used for sacrifices. The clues to the Ming Tombs are on that mountain!"

Yue Qianling was taken aback, looked at the direction of Chu Tianci's finger, and the corner of her mouth twitched a few times.

"East...there really is a mountain you mentioned in the east."

"Qianling, what mountain is it?" Xiao Lianshan asked nervously.

"Qingcheng Mountain!"
