Chapter 161 Brainstorming, the importance of academic qualifications

really!

After the soil was removed, several strange notches were clearly outlined on each grid, which seemed to be the font of Xiaozhuan.

After seeing this scene, Zhuge Ting calmed down and thought carefully.

"This is the Bagua password lock!"

After identifying the inscriptions on the grid, Zhuge Ting couldn't bear it any longer and exclaimed.

Then, she quickly moved closer and continued to look at the other engravings.

I saw that eight of the sixteen grids in the square were engraved with two characters.

Eight of them correspond to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the other eight correspond to Qiankangenzhenxunlikundui. This is really a Bagua password lock!

After recognizing the inscriptions, Zhuge Ting's doubts were immediately cleared.

No wonder she always felt that the grid on the stone slab was very familiar. It turned out to be the one recorded on Fenghou Qimen.

After thinking about this, she finally determined that this stone slab should be the opening mechanism of the underground mausoleum.

Because the evolution of Bagua is ever-changing, and the ancients praised Bagua, ordinary people cannot study Bagua.

Usually, only the tombs of emperors can enjoy the treatment of using Bagua as a mechanism.

And since the Bagua pattern has appeared here, there is no doubt that as long as the password is unlocked, some device that opens the door will be triggered.

At the same time, while Zhuge Ting was thinking quickly, Cao Feng also became confused.

He looked at Zhuge Ting's serious study and couldn't help but ask: "What did you say? Do you know the combination lock on this stone slab?"

Hearing the inquiry, Zhuge Ting studied it and nodded at the same time: "Yes, the inscriptions on this stone slab are very similar to a combination lock recorded in Fenghou Qimen, but they are not exactly the same.

"However, I have been able to decipher at least part of this stone slab."

What?

After hearing her words, Cao Feng became even more confused.

But Zhuge Ting said without looking back: "You'll find out later. I just said that the password on this stone slab should be a kind of Bagua password lock."

"Because the combination lock recorded in Fenghou Qimen is a circle with two circles inside and outside, dividing the Bagua into two parts. But the middle part of this stone slab is square."

"At first glance, the grids on these stone slabs seem to be in no order, but if you count carefully, you will find that there are sixteen grids in this square."

"And there are actually inscriptions on each grid, but they were just covered with soil.

After hearing her words, Cao Feng quickly looked over.

I saw that it was indeed full of engravings.

Look carefully, but he doesn't recognize any of them

At this time, Zhuge Zhan seemed to have noticed his doubts. Zhuge Zhan on the side explained: "You don't have to be confused. This is Xiaozhuan, also called Qin Zhuan. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, Yingzheng ordered Li Si to carry out writing reforms. The font that just appeared."

"This type of font was very widely used at the time, and was still used in some areas until the end of the Sui Dynasty. However, because the font was difficult to write, after the Tang Dynasty, the official font was changed to regular script, and its use became increasingly rare after that. Already."

"So I guess this is the same as what my sister said, which is the password lock used to open the underground mausoleum city!"

hiss!

Upon hearing this, Cao Feng suddenly took a breath of cold air.

It seems that the combination lock was really made by the person who built the tomb, and this is enough to prove that it was not made by the tombkeeper.

In other words, the tombkeeper may not have entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!

It was at this moment that Zhuge Ting recognized the fonts on it one by one.

So, she nodded and analyzed: "It seems that these inscriptions are the eight gates of life in the Bagua, Qiankangenzhenxunlikundui."

"The other eight grids are the heavenly stems and earthly branches extending from the Bagua."

"According to the records in Fenghou Qimenli, the eight Ming gates in the Bagua each correspond to an extension of each."

"In other words, as long as we move these grids according to the order of the Bagua, all pairs of them will intersect and correspond to the correct order."

For a moment, Zhuge Ting slowly explained, and after listening to her explanation, Cao Feng and the others suddenly realized.

So, is there such a solution?

It seems that Zhuge Ting made the right decision this time. Without her, they would not be able to enter the underground mausoleum city even if they found it.

Thinking of the key point, Cao Feng suddenly pointed at the combination lock and said doubtfully: "That's true, but apart from the eight-gram puzzle in the middle, how can we crack the grids in the middle."

Hearing this, the other two people also looked intently.

I saw that the outer circle of this grid is three circles of different sizes, one inside a circle, and there are dozens of grids distributed around it.

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Ting also frowned and started thinking.

"Indeed... but since we have deduced that the middle stone slab is a Bagua puzzle, then the grids in the outer circle should also be related to Bagua."

"According to Fenghou Qimen's explanation, the Bagua can theoretically be deduced indefinitely. For example, the two rituals give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give rise to the Bagua."

"So I think these outer grids should be the extension of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the Bagua. As for how far they extend, I can't tell yet."

"However, since it is related to the Eight Diagrams, there must be a way to crack it. Let's not rush, let's find the center first and crack it step by step. I think as long as the Eight Diagrams is correct, the next steps should be easy to follow."

After hearing what she said, Cao Feng suppressed his anxious thoughts.

At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room could not wait for it, so they started urging them in the barrage.

But Zhuge Ting took a deep breath and suppressed her anxious mood. Although she knew that the entrance to the imperial mausoleum was about to be opened, she did not lose her mind.

And, in this case, it is most taboo to be impatient.

This pattern usually has linkage devices.

While thinking about it, Zhuge Ting quickly calmed down.

Then, she came to the stone door, held two small squares in the square with both hands, and at the same time began to remember how to crack the code.

According to the pattern of Bagua, the corresponding position is Kun position and Mi position.

So, she moved the two small grids toward the center.

really!

The grid was movable, and as she moved her fingers, the grid clicked and spliced ​​together.

Seeing this scene, several people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuge Ting held down the remaining slates again while continuing to pick them up.

According to the previous algorithm, the next step is to use the four auxiliaries to align the Sunda position.

So, she followed the same pattern and arranged all the remaining small grids according to the Bagua pattern.

After matching the last two pieces, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the inner circle was set, she looked at the password in the outer circle again.

The password in this outer circle is very complicated.

However, this is not a problem for Zhuge Ting.

Since the squares inside are Bagua diagrams, then the squares outside may be Bagua diagrams.

extension of.

So, she only needs to

Just decipher it according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches extended from the Bagua.

The grid on the outer circle is also engraved with seal characters, and they are related to Bagua.

So…

While thinking about it, Zhuge Ting looked towards the outer circle again.

But when she saw clearly what the engraving on the outer circle was, she was stunned on the spot.

Because, although there were indeed seal characters on the outer grid, it was not what she thought.

I saw that there were nine compiled characters engraved on the small outer circle, but the different ones were the uppercase numbers.

"one two three…"

Zhuge Ting endured the discomfort and read out. There are nine inscriptions in total, from one to nine.

It has nothing to do with the so-called heavenly stems and earthly branches.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Ting seemed not to believe in evil, and hurriedly cleaned the grids on the large and small circles in the outer circle.

But what happened next made her even more confused.

Because there are also numbers on the two layers of grids on the outer circle.

However, the numbers in the outer two circles are obviously much larger than those in the first circle.

The second circle is a two-digit number, and the third circle is a three-digit number.
