Chapter eight hundred and seventy-two new discoveries
"Well, I can only place my hope on you. I'm just not careful enough. As soon as you came here, you found clues that I didn't find before." Zhou Qian said.
Zhan Chen looked at the eight gates around him and suggested, "I think we should start with the portal corresponding to the Qian Gua."
"Okay, I walked through that portal the first time, but unfortunately I didn't find anything."
So, the two of them walked towards the portal and stepped into it. The light flashed and they appeared in a passage filled with portals.
Zhan Chen looked around and found that it was just like the scene he encountered when he first entered the Mysterious Gate. He was not depressed. Instead, he walked forward along the passage and searched along the way, hoping to find some clues, but found nothing. He had no choice but to choose a portal at random and walked in again.
Zhou Qian almost stepped into the portal with him, light flashed, and the two of them appeared in front of another portal.
Zhou Qian then said to Zhan Chen: "You see, they are all the same."
Zhan Chen replied: "Let's enter another portal to see the situation."
Next, they passed through the portal again. About the tenth time, Zhan Chen and Zhou Qian returned to the original hall. Zhan Chen turned around, looked at the portal behind them, and found that they were from Kun. Return from the portal corresponding to the hexagram.
"Come on, it's a waste of time again, I'm going crazy!" Zhou Qian complained.
Zhan Chen did not answer his words, but looked around again.
After a while, Zhou Qian became impatient and asked: "Zhan Chen, what should we do next? Continue to go through the portal?"
Zhan Chen replied: "Wait a little longer, there are still some things I need to confirm."
"All right."
Zhan Chen continued to watch in the hall. When he walked under the central statue, he suddenly shouted: "Zhou Qian, come and see!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Qian hurriedly came to his side.
Zhan Chen pointed to the base and said, "Look, the content of the words printed here is different from what we just saw."
"What?!" Zhou Qian took a closer look and saw clearly that the words on the jade platform had been replaced by the words "Yin and Yang reincarnation, new roads will appear."
"'The reincarnation of yin and yang, a new road appears' This is great. Zhan Chen seems to have paid off for your carefulness. We finally made progress!" Zhou Qian said with a smile, but then his smiling face immediately turned into a sad one. Question: "But what do these eight words mean, and how do we get out?"
Zhan Chen thought for a while and said: "Let's sort it out now. First of all, the handwriting here is different from what we saw just now, which means that this hall is not the same as the one we just stayed in, but it is decorated in a different way. It’s just the same.”
"Yes, I was completely deceived!" Zhou Qian couldn't help shouting.
"Second, if we want to appear, we must start with the words on the jade platforms under the statues in these two halls."
"Yes! Especially the content here, doesn't it just suggest a way out? But the question comes back again, what does the 'reincarnation of yin and yang' here mean?"
After some careful consideration, Zhan Chen slowly said aside from his speculation: "I think the information here is just a hint. The real mystery is in the hall we were in front of."
"Are they those twenty words, 'Heaven and earth, the universe, the sun and the moon, the ups and downs, the stars and the stars, misfortunes and blessings depend on each other, the principles of yin and yang'?"
"good."
"Then what do these twenty words mean?"
"The two characters 'Qiankun' in 'Heaven and Earth Qiankun' represent the two hexagrams Qian and Kun respectively, and the sun is the sun, representing fire, which should be the Li hexagram, and the moon is opposite to it, representing water, and belongs to the Kan hexagram." Zhan Chen stopped here.
After Zhou Qian heard half of it, he naturally wanted to ask: "Then what does 'the stars change, misfortunes and blessings depend on each other' mean?"
"I think 'The Stars' tells us how to find the right way out."
"What's the meaning?"
"The Big Dipper moves in the sky and will eventually return to its origin. In other words, when we shuttle between various portals, we will eventually return to these two halls. As long as we follow the prompts, we will naturally find a way out."
"Then what does 'misfortunes and blessings depend on each other' mean?" Zhou Qian looked like he was going to break the casserole and ask the question.
"Having found a way out, it's hard to predict the good and bad fortunes. I think this is the only way to understand it. This sentence is a reminder that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous."
"Zhan Chen, you are amazing. Without you, I would not have been able to get out of this hall even if the secret was closed." Zhou Qian said sincerely.
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said: "I can't see it. I estimate that new people will arrive here soon. Among them, there must be people who can solve the puzzle. And there may be people in front of us who have found a way out first. After all, a long time has passed."
"Yeah, I've been here for at least a week."
"You have better luck than me. It took me ten days to get to this hall, and I can't even count how many portals I passed through."
"Okay, Zhan Chen, tell me what to do, I just want to leave this hellish place as soon as possible!"
"Following the prompts, we just entered through the door corresponding to the Qian hexagram, so now we should go through the teleportation gate corresponding to the Kun hexagram. If my estimate is correct, no matter how many teleportation gates we pass through on the way, we will always return to The hall where I stayed before."
"Well, okay."
So this time, the two of them walked through the portal corresponding to the Kun hexagram and passed through eight portals before returning to the original hall. As soon as they entered the hall, Zhou Qian rushed under the statue, searched carefully, and then became excited He shouted: "Zhan Chen, it's exactly what you said. Looking at the jade platform, all twenty words are there."
Zhan Chen also showed a smile and said: "Then let's continue and go through the doors corresponding to Li Gua and Kan Gua and see what happens."
"good!"
The two of them moved as quickly as possible, first entering through the door corresponding to the Li hexagram, and as expected they arrived at the second hall, then entered through the door corresponding to the Kan hexagram in the second hall, and passed through eleven portals. Returning to the first hall, the moment they returned to the hall, a ray of light flashed in front of Master Guanghong, and a brand new portal appeared.
Zhan Chen and Zhou Qian looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes. Zhou Qian said: "Zhan Chen, we finally succeeded."
"Yes, I guessed it right!" Zhan Chen finally showed a relaxed smile. Before, he had been worried that his guess would be wrong.
"Let's go and meet our treasure!" Zhou Qian said a few words and ran towards the portal excitedly.
But Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment on the spot, because he thought of the four words "misfortunes and blessings depend on each other." Entering this portal, it was really hard to predict whether he would be greeted by blessings or misfortunes.
