"What, what is this place?" Chen Ziyun was not as relaxed as Zen Seventeen. The new discovery made his heart tremble strongly.
The space in front of them was obviously much lower than where they were. To walk from this place to the space they found, they needed to walk down a jade step dug out. The jade steps were divided into two sides, with a sunken semicircle in the middle. Inside this semicircle
The jade in the depression is glowing with a deep red color. Apparently many bodies that were killed and bloodied were dragged up from this place. Therefore, the jade in the depression is shockingly red.
Chen Ziyun's attention only briefly swept through the piece of blood jade, and then he focused on the newly discovered space. Standing at the end of the passage, he could overlook the entire space in front of him. However, when overlooking all this, Chen Ziyun's
His brows furrowed.
The space below is not empty. It is like a huge maze. From Chen Ziyun's visual inspection, it is almost impossible to see the end. With the dual effects of flashlight and night vision, Chen Ziyun can barely see most of the place in front of him.
This space, according to Chen Ziyun's estimation, has at least exceeded the space inside Jade City. Logically speaking, it should not exist. But in this dimensional space, has the size of Jade City changed? Perhaps the space still follows the familiar rules he knows?
Chen Ziyun had no idea about the rules, so he just ignored them.
But the vastness of the space is not what Chen Ziyun is most concerned about. What puzzles him the most is the square jade wall that rises underneath the space. Or it might be more appropriate to say it is a jade screen. The sizes of these jade walls are almost the same.
They are all rectangular. Visually, each jade wall is about twenty meters long, and some are split in the middle to leave a two-meter-long passage. But overall, they are neat and even, impeccable.
All jade walls are built in a certain sequence to form a circular array.
At one end of the jade wall, there was a dark red depression. Although Chen Ziyun had good eyesight, he could not clearly see what the dark red was. But on the other end of the jade wall, there was a deep black depression that was symmetrical to it.
Seeing these two symmetrical circular depressions, Chen Ziyun felt as if a cockroach had flown into his mouth.
There were so many jade walls in the space below that Chen Ziyun could not discern any patterns among them. However, with the symmetrical red and black dots, Chen Ziyun sketched them in his mind, and he had already figured out the pattern formed by the jade walls below.
I figured it out roughly.
"This is...the Bagua diagram..." Chen Ziyun's voice was a little hoarse. When talking about this, Chen Ziyun's voice trembled slightly.
As a Chinese, no one may know where their surname comes from, but no one does not know what the Bagua Diagram is. Even if you have never seen it, you have at least heard of it, and at least you know where it comes from.
Derived.
Chen Ziyun smiled bitterly. After entering Jade City, he first saw something related to the Sixty Years, and he did not expect that there would be a bigger surprise waiting for him later. In fact, Chen Ziyun knew very well that except for the myths and legends,
Bagua diagrams did not appear in Chinese literature very early. There are documented records that the first person to systematically draw Bagua diagrams was Shao Yong in the Song Dynasty. But in fact, the arrangement and combination of Bagua diagrams has a strict logic.
The basis for the Bagua Diagram is the records in the ancient scripture - "The Book of Changes". It can also be judged from this that the sage who originally wrote the Zhouyi has mastered the basic principles of drawing the Bagua Diagram. Under the logical conditions he set
, it is not difficult to draw the Bagua diagram. Therefore, Chen Ziyun can boldly speculate that the Bagua diagram appeared for thousands of years. However, according to legend, it was Fuxi who created the Bagua. Chen Ziyun is not a magician, and he still has doubts about this.
Questionable.
But Chen Ziyun believed that the age of Jade City's existence was not later than the legendary era of Fuxi, but only earlier. However, the mature image of the Bagua Diagram has already appeared here. This makes Chen Ziyun feel so embarrassed. In Chen Ziyun's opinion
, How does this make the legendary Fu Xi's love so embarrassing? Thinking of this name, Chen Ziyun's thinking fell into chaos and it was difficult to calm down. The Bagua Diagram has a much deeper relationship with Chinese civilization than the Sixty Years Diagram. Its source is "
"Book of Changes" is the origin and foundation of Chinese civilization and an important part of the world view and outlook on life, but such an important thing appears in this place! Appears in Jade City! Appears in the holy land of primitive Bon religion! What is this?
Could it be that the source of Chinese civilization came from this place? When Chen Ziyun thought about it deeply, his whole body was about to collapse.
"That's right..." Chan Shiqiu was much calmer than Chen Ziyun. Her research on Chinese civilization was more than Chen Ziyun's, not less. She looked at it carefully and said: "This is the innate Bagua diagram.
, and there are two overlapping hexagrams, and there are three layers of hexagrams in total. The outermost layer has 4,096 hexagrams, the next outer layer has sixty-four hexagrams, and the innermost hexagrams are the most original Bagua images.
The yin and yang fish guarding the center, with red and black eyes, are the gates of hope and destruction." Zen Shiqi's thinking ability is very fast, and he can explain the world in the space below clearly in one go.
"The Gate of Hope and Destruction... turns out there are two doors?" Chen Ziyun was a little dumbfounded. He originally thought that the Gate of Hope and Destruction was just a title, but he didn't expect that there is such a distinction. There is hope and destruction.
The difference between the two portals of destruction. I wonder what is the difference between these two places?
Chan Shiqi spoke very quickly, but he could still understand most of the previous ones. As for the data given by Chan Shiqi, he knew the truth contained in it as soon as he heard it. There are only eight hexagrams in Bagua, and if they are misplaced and overlapped, they will be derived.
Eighty-eight sixty-four stacked hexagrams are formed, which is the source of the hexagrams in the "Book of Changes". However, there are also boring people who misplace and overlap the hexagrams on this basis, and then arrive at sixty-four multiplications, which gives the result of four
Terrifying data of one thousand and ninety-four hexagrams. Of course, this data can continue to be multiplied upwards, but in fact this approach of simplifying to the complex does not conform to the development of history and the times. What is ultimately handed down is
There are only sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi.
"No, it's the same. The place you arrive is the same. It's just that if you enter from different directions, you will get different things. For example, hope or destruction." Zen Shiqi's answer this time seemed a bit solemn. Obviously, in
Among the choices between red and black, she seemed not to know which door led to hope, and which door led to destruction.
However, both Zen Seventeen and Chen Ziyun know that a choice must be made. No matter whether the choice is right or wrong, because only in this way can one enter it.
