My years as a fortune teller

After Zhang Qicheng finished speaking, we all fell into silence.In the hearts of people like Cui Erye and Liu Fatty, what the ancestors left is for our descendants, and no one has the right to take it abroad.This idea is the same as mine, but Professor He does not necessarily think so.

Professor He looked at me and said with a smile: "Huzi, let's not discuss whether these things should go abroad. But you have to tell us what is going on with this compass, and what we saw outside. Why is it different?"

I looked at Su Hui'er, because this little girl knew about it too.Maybe it's because he was punished just now, so he looks a little unhappy.So I stretched my waist, sat on the ground and said, "Everyone should know about Sinan Che! Ancient books such as "Gu Jin Zhu" and "Zhi Lin" written by Cui Bao in the Western Jin Dynasty said that when the Yellow Emperor fought with Chi You, Chi You made a big move. Fog, the legend of the Yellow Emperor making a compass chariot to guide soldiers!"

Everyone nodded, and I continued: "The compass on the top is said to be Chisongzi. According to the arrangement of Sinanche and the stars in the sky, a compass was made. This compass is what we see now placed on the stone table. In the "Twelve Mantras", it is said that the two needles of yin and yang determine the north and the south, and the mountains return to Tibet to refer to the heaven and the earth; the nine-star plate looks at the blessed land...so the legendary compass is also called the golden cabinet nine-star plate, also known as the three yuan Nine astrolabe! It is said that following the yin needle of the compass, you can find the underworld. And follow the yang needle of the compass, you can go to the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun Mountain. But later generations imitated the three yuan nine astrolabe, and the yin and yang needles will not move. All these things were told to me by my uncle after I went to the mountains to ask my teacher and father. To be honest, we have never seen it, and some of the things we know are also from ancient books."

After hearing this, Professor He stood up and took a closer look and said to me, "No wonder there are many unfamiliar things on this compass. And look at this pointer, one side is white, and the other side is black."

I stood up and took a look, and said to Professor He: "After returning to Xi'an from Qinling, I also searched for some information. I think it was because of this compass that King Mu of Zhou came to Kunlun to meet the Queen Mother of the West."

Professor He nodded and said to me: "Yes, this reasoning is very bold, but it is also very logical. The capital of Zhou Mu was in Luoyang. If you really want to meet the Queen Mother of the West, you must have something to point the way. If it is That being said, the reasoning is also clear.”

I patted Professor He on the shoulder and said: "There is another problem that cannot be ignored. Duke Zhou is very smart. Ancient books such as "Gujin Zhu" and "Guiguzi" say that Zhou Gong used the guide car because "Yueshang" came to pay tribute. , Lost their way back, Zhou Gong built a "five-carriage" guide car to guide them. So in this case, we can't ignore that they have other guide equipment."

Professor He blinked, nodded silently and agreed with me.But when I looked at the compass, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.I always feel that this compass is placed here to tell us what is the same.

Cui Erye saw what was on my mind, stood up and patted my shoulder and said, "Huzi, do you feel that there is something wrong with this compass here? It seems to be telling us something?" I turned my head and looked up and down. Some Cui Erye.

This old man is like the roundworm in my stomach, he can think clearly about everything.So I nodded and took the compass out of my bag.After the pointer turned around quickly, the red end pointed to a direction of 25 degrees west by north.

I looked at Professor He and Cui Erye and said: "You can see that the pointer in the three-yuan-nine astrolabe is also pointing to the northwest direction. This shows that my compass is correct, so the front facing us is the northwest direction This is the order of the postnatal gossip, and in the innate gossip, stem is south. But if you look at the compass on the stone table again, is his two-layer gossip disk in the same order as mine?"

Cui Erye went over to look at it, and said to me: "Huzi, you are wrong. There are three layers of eight trigrams on this compass. I have never seen the other two layers except for the first layer of innate eight trigrams. The first layer is Kun It is located in the south, and the earthquake on the first floor is in the south."

I smiled and said to Cui Erye: "Don't you understand now? The three-yuan nine-star plate on the stone table reminds us very well of the difference between Lianshanyi and Guizangyi, as well as the connection with the innate gossip. the difference."

Cui Erye shook his head, still not quite understanding.But Professor He understood it, and said to him: "What Huzi means is that these three Yi are all composed of gossip, but they are different in the position and the hexagram of the starting hand. Am I right, Huzi? ?”

I nodded and said to Cui Erye: "Before I entered the valley, I remembered that there was a pool with different decorations on the sides. I was very surprised at that time. Why are there trees on one side and various stones on the other?" The shape is still a metal thing. So I looked at it with a compass at the time, but I didn’t expect that all the directions were not right. So I suspected at the time that I might have encountered Lianshan or Guizang. But I have no evidence at all. Now it is so Seeing that my judgment at the time was still correct.”

"But..." I paused at this point, and then said to them: "But this compass is placed here, do you think it is a bit weird? Such a precious thing should be placed in a safer place. Why is it placed In an empty hall, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Zhang Qicheng came over and said to me: "And the pointer pointed to a place, do you want us to go in that direction? Or let's go over there and see what's there." Isn't this nonsense.One end of this pointer points to the place where we came out, and the other end points to the dark hall directly ahead.

I scratched my head, looked at the dark place in front of me and said: "In the past, we were sure, but now I am not sure what to put this compass here to remind us? Besides, in such an empty hall, just put it like this Don't you find something strange?"

Su Hui'er said weakly: "This hall is like the temple above. Maybe in the depths of the hall, there is also the statue of Queen Mother of the West in front. Let's go and have a look, anyway, we have to go to the front."

This girl accepted a punishment and suddenly became weird.But what she said was still true.We must walk the road ahead, no matter how dangerous it is.

Thinking of this, I said to the mandrill: "How about it? Continue to explore the way ahead! I know it will be dangerous ahead, so I will walk behind you. Once there is danger, immediately call out loudly. I will rush to the place as soon as possible. up ahead of you."

The mandrill jumped up and squeaked a few times, then turned and walked forward.I pulled Su Hui'er past, and followed behind the mandrill, holding a torch and walked over.For the rest of you, you support me, and I will help you to walk forward as well.

But just after walking a few steps, a deep roar came.The mandrill stopped, and I stopped the team too.I squatted down and said to the mandrill, "Your eyesight is the best in the dark. Don't panic no matter what you see ahead. Take the torch first, and light the surrounding braziers, so that we can see the situation here clearly." .”

The mandrill timidly took the torch, then looked behind and quickly ran to the wall.After a short time, I saw a brazier on the wall light up.But this will have a stench, also passed into my nostrils.

I gestured with my hand and asked the team to retreat.Then he handed Su Hui'er's hand to Cui Erye's.I know that there are many dangers not far ahead.Regardless of whether I can pass the game or not, the people in the team cannot rush up, because in this case they are a burden.

Watching them take a few steps back, I put the backpack on my chest, because there is Jiang Xinjing in the backpack, so it is convenient for me to take it out when needed.As the mandrill lit the brazier, a huge black shadow appeared less than ten meters away in front of me...
