"The Nine Palaces Map is actually a grid map of the River, Luoshu and Houtian Bagua. It is for easy and intuitive arrangement." Tang Sancheng said: "It seems that someone gave guidance when this place was built. I suspect that the archives
The room is in the center of the Nine Palaces Diagram."
Qixie was dealing with the lock: "Continuing to search like this is really not the way to go. It would be better if we could find a pattern."
"Nine Palaces Calculation." Tang Sancheng said: "It should be the Nine Palaces Calculation. The Nine Palaces Calculation originated from the "Book of Changes". It combines the Hetu, Luoshu and Bagua. The "Zhouyi" calculation is based on the Nine Palaces. It uses celestial phenomena to identify it. It has been in the past for a long time.
It has been applied since ancient times. The magical mathematical changes of the Jiugong arithmetic are not limited to one trick or one method, and its geometric shape is not constant in one system or one formula. Therefore, a variety of methods should be adopted as much as possible.
There were people in every dynasty who had their own opinions, but the pioneer of Jiugong arithmetic was the great mathematician Yang Hui of the Song Dynasty. He not only discovered the composition formula of Luoshu, but also filled in many magic squares from the fourth to the tenth order and
Magic circle, magic ring and other figures, the ancient arithmetic problem of Jiugong arithmetic has also traveled across the ocean, spread east to Japan, and the Western Japanese were so treasured that they actually changed the name of Jiugong arithmetic to Yamato arithmetic, and the West often studied it specifically. "
"Damn, this little Japanese dares to steal anything, and Yamato will settle the matter next time I see Abe Haru." Cong Yang slipped over from nowhere, looking a little disgraced.
"No harvest over there?" Tang Sancheng asked.
"No, Bai Yi asked me to come over and see how you are doing here. As soon as I came here, I heard you talking about the Book of Heaven." Cong Yang said helplessly: "Fortunately, there is a route set by Fu Yu in this place.
Otherwise, we will be tortured to death. What is the use of what you just said?"
"If this place is built based on the nine-gong calculation, then according to ordinary people's thinking, the most important thing must be placed in the middle. As long as I convert the directions, we don't have to check them one by one." Tang Sancheng said:
"So, I have to solve the problem first."
Others were confused, but since it was Tang Sancheng's specialty, let him leave it to him. Tang Sancheng said: "Nine palace calculations, the parameters of the five elements, are like cycles, because the ancients gave the five elements numbers from one to nine.
And the directional attributes. One and six are water, seven and two are fire, nine and four are gold, three and eight are wood, and five are earth."
As Tang Sancheng spoke, he drew a Nine Palaces diagram on the ground, "From the diagram, one six → seven two → nine four → three eight → five → one six... is indeed a number cycle, and it is water.
Fire→Fire overcomes metal→Metal overcomes wood→Wood overcomes earth→Earth overcomes water. The cycle of the five elements. Orientation
They are: Water number one is in the north, Water number six is in the northwest, Fire number seven is in the west, Fire number two is in the southwest, Metal number nine is in the south, Metal number four is in the southeast, Wood number three is in the east, Wood number eight is in the northeast.
The earth number five is in the center. Let’s look for the central place for now, which is the earth number five. It should be..."
Tang Sancheng looked around and pointed in a direction: "Go down from here."
"Here?" Cong Yang said, "Bai Yi and the others just arrived there."
Qixie was preparing dust on the ground. The dust on the ground would betray their traces, but it was in vain. Cong Yang saw it and said impatiently: "My brother Qixie, don't worry about it. Fu Yu said she will take care of it."
of."
Qi Xie actually felt a little shy, and his face turned slightly red: "Okay, let's go there."
Tang Sancheng already knew it in his mind. While silently calculating the Nine Palaces in his mind, he looked around and walked forward for a while. Bai Yi and the others were already there. He didn't even look at them, like a demon in a daze, and walked straight ahead.
He went over, turned right, and disappeared there, which made Bai Yi confused: "What is he doing?"
Xiaoshan called out, but Tang Sancheng didn't reply. Cong Yang said, "Don't worry about it. We'll talk about it later. Just follow him first."
Everyone followed Tang Sancheng. He usually didn't walk very fast, but today he was walking in the wind. Everyone chased him for a while and almost lost him. They ran for a full quarter of an hour before they caught up. At this time, Tang Sancheng
I was already standing in front of a darkroom door and started dancing. When I saw everyone coming over, I excitedly pointed inside: "This is the one."
Bai Yi didn't ask the reason and went straight over. Lei Renyi said that the lock in the archives was very unusual. So far, the most unusual lock they had ever seen was the Qiqiao Exquisite Lock. They wanted to see what else could compare.
What's even more extraordinary about the Qiqiao exquisiteness is that the lock is in the shape of a lotus, like a bud waiting to bloom.
"Is this made of jade?" Shen Bing looked at the lock curiously: "It's really rare for a lock to be so exquisite."
"There is no keyhole." Qixie took a breath: "We can only disconnect it, but in this way, wouldn't it tell others that we have been here and forced our way in?"
"No," Tang Sancheng put his hand on the lotus lock: "If you have real energy, let me come."
Tang Sancheng put his hand on the lock, and the wind blew under his hand. A warm wind covered the lotus lock. Everyone saw that the lotus flower that was originally in bud suddenly bloomed. Then, they heard a snap, and the door opened.
A crack was opened, and Shen Bing and Xiao Shan from behind cheered!
Tang Sancheng carefully opened the door and saw a small filing cabinet inside. The documents on the cabinet were all packed in brown paper bags and placed there very neatly. There seemed to be no abnormality in other places, so he opened the door completely.
Everyone walked in and stood in front of the filing cabinet as a matter of course. Looking at the neatly arranged documents inside, Shen Bing said: "Tang Sancheng, I really have you."
Cong Yang and Xiao Shan had already reached for the documents in the middle, opened them, and immediately looked disappointed: "These look like construction plans here. Look, they are all blueprints."
But no, these folders contained structural drawings, renderings, two-dimensional drawings, and 3D drawings. They were very complete. Bai Yi was a little disappointed: "It doesn't make sense. If it were just these drawings, there would be no need to go to such a big trouble, and
The locks are indeed different from those found elsewhere.”
Tang Sancheng seemed to have not heard their conversation and looked around silently. The structure of this house was no different from the others. On the contrary, Tang Sancheng listened to the movement under his feet. It was a cement floor and it looked like a complete piece.
However, there are hollow drums. This is different from floor tiles. There are gaps in the floor tiles, so it is normal to have hollow drums. However, cement is equivalent to being completely closed. Conventionally speaking, it is unlikely to have such a large hollow drum. Tang Sancheng called
He shouted: "Seven Evils!"
Qixie came over: "What's wrong?"
"You walk along this line and let me listen to the sound." The reason why Tang Sancheng chose Qixie was naturally because Qixie was the heaviest among all the people. Qixie walked on the route designated by Tang Sancheng.
On the way, Tang Sancheng listened carefully and suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Qixie cooperated very well. He immediately stopped and pointed at his feet: "Is this here?"
"That's right." Tang Sancheng said: "There is a space below with an empty drum, so the sounds it makes are completely different. But this mechanism is definitely not on the ground. Let's look for it."
Bai Yi's eyes were on the file cabinet. There was nothing else here except this file cabinet. This was what others thought. Everyone looked through the file cabinet and saw nothing like a mechanism. Fu Yu suddenly said:
"Why are we only looking at the front, the back of the filing cabinet..."
As soon as she reminded him, Cong Yang and Xiaoshan moved the file cabinet to make a little space. Xiaoshan couldn't wait to shrink his body and squeezed in. Xiaoshan touched it with his hand and felt a protruding one.
Qixie pressed the thing hard, and Qixie felt his feet moving, and quickly walked away. A square cylinder slowly emerged from below. There was a transparent box on top of the square cylinder, and a piece of cloth.
Lying quietly inside.
"This should be it." Bai Yi said. This transparent box is made of crystal. As for the material, everyone is not concerned about the material. They are only concerned about how to open the box.
Tang Sancheng stretched out his hand to hold the box in his hand, and immediately felt a sense of surprise. The faint magic power left on it made Tang Sancheng feel a little familiar. Before he had time to think about it, he opened the box and took out the cloth inside.
Come: "Is this a contract?"
Bai Yi poked his head to look, and Tang Sancheng took the initiative to put the cloth into Bai Yi's hand: "I can't even understand the words on it, please come and read it."
"This writing is Xiaozhuan. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he implemented the policy of unifying weights and measures for writing, chariots, and weights. Prime Minister Li Si was responsible for simplifying and canceling the large seal script originally used by the Qin State.
Variants of the other six countries created a unified writing form of Chinese characters. It was popular in China until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and was gradually replaced by the official script, so the time when this contract was established should be during the Qin and Han Dynasties." Bai Yi said.
"Didn't the Qin Dynasty use bamboo slips?" Shen Bing said curiously.
Tang Sancheng's heart moved, and he picked up the cloth and looked at it carefully: "No, this cloth, Bai Yi, look at it, which dynasty is this cloth from?"
Bai Yi picked it up, studied it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I can't tell. Textile technology has evolved many times in history. I can't recognize this kind of pattern. Maybe I don't know enough about it."
."
"No, do you know Leizu?" Tang Sancheng asked.
"Who is she??" Xiaoshan asked carefully.
"This is Chaosi." Bai Yi suddenly thought of it, and he smiled bitterly: "Just now, my mind was blank, but now I remember, this is clearly Chaosu. The process of extracting silk from cocoons is generally called silk reeling. The original silk reeling
The method is to soak the silkworm cocoon in a hot pot of soup, draw the silk with your hands, and wind it on the silk basket, Tang Sancheng, no wonder you mentioned Leizu."
Xiaoshan was confused when he heard this: "What on earth are you talking about?"
