320. The Broken Clue
Chen Xuance pinched four fingers with the thumb of his left hand and recited silently: "The crystal hanging in the bright hall has changed, the law has given birth to an ugly son, looking for the mountain. The Sanskrit sound from the dragon wall and the phoenix mouth is there, the four upright and four strange things are exploring the sky."
Seeing Chen Xuance muttering the words, Su Budong found it novel and asked, "Is this formula useful?"
While observing the study, Chen Xuance smiled and said: "I didn't bring a compass, so I had to count the conjunctions of the heavenly stems and earthly branches by hand. The formula is to put the heavenly stems and earthly branches into it, and calculate the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth by hand. Compared with the compass,
The advantage is that it is fast, but the disadvantage is that if you memorize the wrong formula, you can easily get into trouble."
"Did you miss it?"
"Just kidding, who am I?" Chen Xuance said, "Only once or twice...that was when I was young."
"It's kind of magical."
"For laymen, it's a bit magical. For those of us who play this all year round, practice makes perfect." Chen Xuance's eyes fixed on one place: "Here."
Su Butong followed his gaze and found a calligraphy and painting, which read: "Peach blossoms rained in Lanxi for three days, and carp came to the beach in the middle of the night."
"It's "Song of Lanxi"." Su Butong said.
Chen Xuance said: "Click on the word carp."
Subudong pressed it as instructed, but there was no response.
"There's no movement. Did you see it wrong?" Su Butong asked.
"It doesn't make sense. This Feng Shui layout is the result of Huo Zezui. This calligraphy and painting just corresponds to the hexagram..." Chen Xuance frowned.
"Didn't you say that you only misrecited the formula once or twice?" Su Butong asked with a smile. He thought it was not a big deal, after all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
But Chen Xuance didn't think so, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
He kept calculating with his hands: "No, no, it should be like this... Could it be that the world has been overturned again, and the master has changed his mind again?"
"If you change your mind, it's Ze Huo Ge, and the direction is on the opposite side." Chen Xuance turned around and looked across from the calligraphy and painting.
Opposite the calligraphy and painting is an empty wall.
"Yuanheng, Li Zhen, regret for death." Chen Xuance murmured: "Repent for death... regret for death..."
"Bu Dong, press the word carp a few more times," Chen Xuance said.
"Aren't you wrong?" Although Su Butong said this, he still honestly pressed the word "carp".
"Click." I heard the sound of some machine lock opening, and a piece of calligraphy and painting protruded in the middle, and a half-meter square hidden grid popped out.
"What's going on?" If Su Butong hadn't seen it in person, he would just find it a bit incredible.
"A game within a game, I didn't expect that I would be taught another lesson by my dead master in Japan." Chen Xuance said with a bitter smile: "Originally Huo Zezui was right, but he deliberately set a trap, and there was no response after pressing the button
It made me think it was a change of fortune. But the hexagram of Ge hexagram is 'Stick to yourself and you won't regret it', so I thought of trying it again."
"Ordinary people won't press it again after they know it doesn't work. Your master's insight into human nature is amazing. But he set up a feng shui tactic that is not good for our family. Why? He's not working with Su Jianglong
Of?"
"I don't know much about what happened to them afterwards." Chen Xuance shook his head slightly: "Let's first see if there are any clues worth noting in this secret room."
Subudong nodded.
The two men started rummaging around in the secret compartment. The secret compartment was not big, so the two of them took out everything.
There is an old yellowed photo of four young people. The man in the middle, Su Budong, knows him as the old owner of this house, his grandfather Su Jianglong.
Su Butong didn't recognize the other three people, but he had a vague guess in his heart, "Are these three people?"
Chen Xuance nodded, "He is the tiger, crane and horse of the previous generation."
"No wonder, this photo is placed here. Obviously these people are very important to him." Su Butong said.
The two began to look for clues about Yu Xi again, but Su Jianglong seemed to have made a joke with them, and they did not find any words he left behind.
The two looked at each other in silence.
"Does the real jade seal really exist?" Su Butong said dejectedly.
"I don't know, but I know that Emperor Zhi and the others attach great importance to this matter. There must be some truth behind it that they 'think' is true."
"It's the White Tiger, and it's the Zhouyi Bagua. I tried so hard to solve the problem, but I didn't see any clues."
"If this jade seal is so easy to find, how come there is no news about the real jade seal for so many years after the Tang Dynasty?"
"you mean?"
"There must be a reason behind the real jade seal that cannot be revealed to the world, so that the person who gets it later cannot make it public. I think this can explain why so many dynasties searched for the jade seal but found nothing. Is this possible? Under the previous imperial power, individuals were absolutely
He didn't dare to hide the jade seal secretly. Emperor Jianwen found the jade seal in Nanyang but he didn't dare to announce that he was the one destined to be destined. Why is this?" Chen Xuance asked. "But we have to wait until we actually find the jade seal to know the situation.
What is it."
Subudong took another look at the things he took out from the secret room, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something. "Does this Buddha statue look familiar to you?"
Chen Xuance saw Su Butong pointing at a Buddha statue. Its jet-black appearance made him feel as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"The Buddha statue wrapped in the "Peace Note"!" The two people read each other's meaning in their eyes, took the wooden Buddha statue in their hands, and found that this statue was different from the Buddha statue that Subudong had bought before.
There are similarities but also subtle differences.
The Buddha statue that Subudong bought before showed the Buddha twisting his thumb and middle finger together, and the other fingers were relaxed naturally. This hand impression symbolizes the Buddha's Dharma, showing the state of the Buddha when he first turned around in Sarnath, so it is called Dharma.
print.
In this Buddha statue, the Buddha bends his arms and raises them in front of his chest, with his fingers stretched naturally and his palms facing outward. This mudra represents the Buddha's great compassionate wish to save all living beings, and is called the fearless seal.
"There is a mystery in the Buddha statue!" The two people observed carefully and found that the swastika on the chest of the Buddha statue was movable. Su Butong found a pair of tweezers, and Chen Xuance carefully removed the swastika.
A piece of Buddha's chest was hollowed out, and a few pieces of thin skin fell out from it.
"What is this?" Su Butong picked up the fragments and found that the fragments had been cut deliberately.
Chen Xuance took the fragments and looked at them for a while, and found that there were some words and drawings written on them, but after putting the fragments together, it was just the tip of the iceberg.
"It will take at least four Buddha statues to put these fragments together completely." Chen Xuance collected the fragments and handed them to Su Budong.
"And I have already obtained one of the Buddha statues before, which means that we have to find the other two Buddha statues to know what kind of clues are hidden in this Buddha statue. And these clues may not be related to the jade seal, right?"
"Let's go back to China quickly. Do you still remember what the person who sold you this Buddha statue looked like?" Chen Xuance asked.
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect his ancestors knew the origin of this Buddha statue."
"But if he knew, how could he sell this? Most likely, he didn't know."
"We have to give it a try, otherwise our clues will be stuck here, without a target. Looking for two Republican-version Buddha statues in the world is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
