Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 195
There are three persons in charge of the Holy Church in Kaifeng, representing the will of the Great Elder, Second Elder and Third Elder respectively. In addition to Li Siyan, who represents the Third Elder, and Mr. There is a mysterious existence representing the will of the great elder of the temple.

What is this person's name, what is his status in Kaifeng, and what forces are in his hands? Li Siyan and Mr. Chen are not very clear, and at most they can only make certain guesses and inferences.Yu Daoxiang didn't care about these things before, so she didn't even know that there was such a mysterious existence in the Holy Church in Kaifeng.

A big house that can be ranked in the top eight in Kaifeng, and a hall that can be compared to a palace.

The Blood Bat Slave with a bandage on his left shoulder bowed and stood in front of a young man sitting on the grand master's chair, whispering something.

The young man looks 27 or [-] years old, with soft eyebrows, handsome features, fair skin, and a charming smile on his face that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

He looks like a handsome and extraordinary noble son Ya Nei.However, there are occasional frightening gleams from his eyes, and it can be seen that he is extraordinary.

After the Blood Bat Slave finished his narration, the young man nodded and said, "This matter is progressing very smoothly. The tunnels block the distance of hundreds of feet. Even if the people in Kaifeng Mansion go all out to dig, it will take at least seven or eight days. But now is the time." When the critical moment comes, as long as we trap my beautiful little aunt for seven days, our mission will be considered complete."

The Blood Bat Slave hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty! Then Ye Chen is really handed over to them."

The young man said: "Hmph! Ye Chen may be very important to those old and immortal, even like an elixir of life, but it is of no use to me and my master. It is a great honor to be able to use him as a reward for this cooperation." What a lucrative business!"

The blood bat slave pondered for a while, and asked, "My lord, the master said last time that the ancestor's lifespan is running out, why do we take the big risk to trap the saint and take Ye Chen away?"

The young man's eyes became extremely deep, and he said: "Because, the master said, the master whose lifespan is already short may live many more years because of Ye Chen. Therefore, Ye Chen must die or give it to someone else." And the trapping of the little aunt is to prevent the layout of the Taoist temple in the deep mountain of Qinling from changing after seven days."

"It's just that the forest can really trap them for seven days?" Blood Bat Slave asked.

"The formation in that forest was made by my master when he came to Kaifeng to accept me as his disciple 11 years ago. He spent a lot of energy and huge sums of money to transplant big trees and arranged them by himself according to the Qimen Dunjia technique. According to the master, there is no one in the world except the master. Zu Ke easily breaks through and walks out, but Zhang Wumeng, Chen Jingyuan, and Lou Yanming can spend seven days destroying the entire formation, and no one can break through the formation except breaking through. In addition, after the formation was set up, the master specially recruited five top experts in the Jianghu for experiments, but they all starved to death in the formation in the end." The young man said quietly, his expression full of strong confidence.

The five tombs at the exit of the tunnel are surrounded by forests in all directions. If Yu Daoxiang and Zhan Xiongwu wanted to find Ye Chen, they would naturally have to enter the forest.

However, after they entered, like Ye Chen, they seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and they did not come out for a long time.

If you look at this forest from a height of hundreds of feet, you will find that this forest is located in a corner of a large house, covering an area of ​​only about [-] mu. The whole is a circle, and the trees inside faintly follow some mysterious law Plant.Especially those roads that criss-cross it are even more strange.

"Qimen Dunjiashu!" Yu Daoxiang looked at the seemingly endless forest all around, frowned tightly, and his face was extremely serious.

"Make the loudest sound. If Ye Lang is still in this woods, he will come and join us." Yu Daoxiang knew that Ye Chen's hearing was abnormal. Sound recognition, and very accurate.This is also the reason why Ye Chen was able to shoot the blood bat slave with an arrow even though he couldn't see it before.

After Zhan Xiongwu howled like a wolf for ten breaths, Ye Chen appeared in front of Yu Daoxiang and Zhan Xiongwu with a look of embarrassment.There were two short arrows stuck in his thigh, and there was blood on his back.

Yu Daoxiang looked at it, his face changed, and he flew to Ye Chen's side, supported the latter, and said worriedly: "Ye Lang! Are you okay?"

Ye Chen said: "Fortunately, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so these are only minor injuries."

While talking, Ye Chen has already pulled out the two short arrows from his legs.

"Yu'er! Brother Zhan! How can you get out of this ghost forest?" Ye Chen was worried about Luo Yaoshun's safety, so he asked first.

Yu Daoxiang sighed, and said: "I only know that this forest has arranged formations with Qimen Dunjia, but I don't know how to break the formations."

Zhan Xiong Wu simply shook his head.

Ye Chen was very disappointed and said, "Qimen Dunjia? Yu'er, tell me all the information about Qimen Dunjia."

Yu Daoxiang pondered for a while, and said: "Since ancient times, there have been three secret treasures in Taoism, namely Qimen, Liuren, and Taiyi. Qimen is the largest secret technique among the three secret treasures. According to legend, Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, Huang Shigong is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia."

"Qimen Dunjia is composed of three parts: "Qi", "Men", and "Dunjia". "Qi" means B, C, and Ding; Open eight doors; "Dun" means hiding, "Jia" refers to Liujia, namely Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin, "Jia" is the most noble among the ten stems, it hides but does not appear, She hides under Liuyi. "Liuyi" is Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. The principle of hiding is that Jiazi is the same as Liuwu, Jiaxu is the same as Liuji, Jiashen is the same as Liugeng, and Jiawu is the same as Liuxin. , Jiachen is the same as Liuren, Jiayin is the same as Liugui. In addition, it also cooperates with Peng, Ren, Chong, Fu, Ying, Rui, Zhu, Xin, and Qin Jiuxing. Qimen Dunjia is mainly divided into three plates: heaven, gate, and earth, symbolizing the three talents There are nine stars in the ninth house of the heavenly disk, the eighth house of the middle board covers eight gates, and the eighth house of the earth represents eight directions, which are static. ) and Yi (Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui Liuyi)."

"In addition, there is a legend about Qimen Dunjia. It is said that in ancient times, when Xuanyuan Huangdi fought Chiyou; at that time, Huangdi and Chiyou fought an unprecedented battle in Zhuolu. Chiyou was seven feet tall, with an iron head and a bronze body. And it will call the wind and call for the rain; create fog on the battlefield, causing the Yellow Emperor's troops to lose their direction. One night, in the middle of the night, suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound and a very strong light from Xuanyuan Hill, which awakened the Yellow Emperor and everyone. Everyone hurried He got up and ran over to see that there was a rainbow slowly descending from the sky, and a fairy shining brightly came out from it. The fairy was holding a jade box nine inches long and eight inches wide, and the Yellow Emperor took it. When I opened it, there was a book of dragon armor in heavenly seal script; according to the records in the book, the Yellow Emperor made a compass chariot and finally defeated Chi You."

"It is said that in addition to the method of making weapons, the Dragon Armor God Chapter also records many military techniques for marching and fighting. So the Yellow Emperor asked Feng Hou to interpret the Dragon Armor God Chapter into thirteen chapters of the Art of War, the Solitary and Void Method Twelve chapters, Qimen Dunjia [-] rounds. Later, it was passed on to Zhang Liang through Taigong Jiang of the Zhou Dynasty and the old man of Huangshi in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Liang simplified it and turned it into the Qimen Dunjia we see today."

Yu Daoxiang told what she knew about Qimen Dunjia in one breath.

After hearing this, Ye Chen fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.

"During the interpretation of Qimen Dunjia, the eight trigrams are used to record the orientation, the ten heavens are used to hide one of them, the nine palaces are used to record the interlacing of celestial and earth phenomena, the eight gates are used to record personnel, and the nine stars and eight gods are used to record the surrounding environment. There is time and space. , From this we can see the wisdom of the ancients' cosmology." Ye Chen muttered to himself.

"In fact, it is true. The good and bad fortune of human beings is closely related to the direction in the space concept of the earth, the sunrise and sunset, the full moon and the moon, and the spring and autumn. The result of time changes; the same space and direction at different times are completely different from the perspective of the universe. Therefore, it is indeed a kind of knowledge to say that Qimen Dunjia is a macroscopic knowledge of the universe, with the concept of time and space. The super-epochal knowledge of space-time dynamics." Ye Chen was amazed.

"However, Qimen Dunjia should only be a manifestation of the magnetic field of alternating time and space. In later generations, people can also use it to calculate the auspicious direction of a certain time. However, Qimen Dunjia is produced in nature, so its theoretical function cannot exceed nature." Ye Chen frowned.

"If you say that Qimen Dunjia uses the time plate to divination and calculate things, it is supernatural, fast and accurate. If you can master the mystery of it and use it, it will be miraculous. There must be a lot of superstition in it."

"In the dialectical method of "Book of Changes," "easy" is divided into "difficult" and "changing". The development of everything has definite numbers and variables. Definite numbers have laws to follow, while variables have no laws to follow; fixed numbers contain variables, and variables There is a definite number in it, no matter whether it is a definite number or a variable, the overall situation remains the same. The ancients did not distinguish between the definite number and the variable, and confused these two concepts.”

"'Constant numbers' can predict the development trajectory of things according to the regularity of things but cannot predict the details. 'Variables' cannot be predicted accurately because of too many variable factors, and the imperfection of the prediction theory system also determines the accuracy of prediction. Affect things There are many factors for the development trend, and the calculation is only to measure the definite factors, and can measure its development trajectory but cannot measure all the details, because the variables cannot be measured accurately.”

"So to break this formation, the key is to see the fixed factors and find out the law of variables. Then, after calculation, find the real way out."

"And the real way out should be related to the eight gates mentioned in Qimen Dunjia. The names of these eight gates are: Xiu, Sheng, Hurt, Du, Jing, Death, Surprise, and Opening. The eight gates are organized from this It consists of eight gates. Among the eight gates, there are divided into Ji gate and Fierce gate. Among them, there are three gates called San Ji gate, which are Xiu, Sheng, and Kai. The remaining five gates are fierce gates."
