Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 87: Tearing off Ji Chang's face, it turned out to be a reputation

The matter of Ji Chang naturally aroused discussions among the immortals from all sides in Chaoge.

When Ji Chang completed the evolution of the sixty-four hexagrams, all parties began to discuss it.

"Incredible! Ji Chang of Xiqi actually deduced the sixty-four hexagrams. It's said to be even more exquisite and profound than the eight trigrams created by Emperor Fuxi. After a brief understanding, I found it unfathomable, and it's on par with the sixty stems and branches of the High Priest!"

"There are differences between the sixty-four hexagrams and the sixty stems and branches. The sixty-four hexagrams are more inclined to deduction, while the sixty stems and branches are more inclined to observe their origins!"

The sixty-four hexagrams are used for divination, while the sixty stems and branches are like looking up a dictionary.

Taking a space-time as the coordinate, we can clearly know the origin of the five elements of this space-time.

Then the fate of the creatures born in this time and space can be roughly calculated.

The sixty-four hexagrams tend to be used to deduce the outcome of an event when one occurs.

Someone was counting on his fingers, deducing something and couldn't help but sigh, "These sixty-four hexagrams, each with six lines, are infinitely variable. If we deduce the secrets of heaven from now on, I'm afraid it will change the world!"

"But once these sixty-four hexagrams are released, won't the eight hexagrams be shelved?"

When someone mentioned this, all the immortals immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Could it be that Ji Chang is not only trying to compete with the High Priest, but is also trying to compete with the Emperor Fuxi?"

"If it is said that the sixty-four hexagrams were deduced without the teachings of Emperor Fuxi, then this is naturally detrimental to the Emperor. It is incredible that such a way was created by Ji Chang!"

"Just as the high priest was using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to stabilize the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty, Ji Chang came up with the sixty-four hexagrams. How coincidental!"

"In my opinion, Ji Chang may have been planning this for a long time. Perhaps he knew that the high priest wanted to complete the sixty-year cycle, and wanted to use this to prevent the high priest from consolidating the fortune of the Shang Dynasty and then divert the fortune to Xiqi. Ji Chang's plan is not small!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed: "Indeed, Ji Chang has a big plan. Now that the south has been pacified, the east and north have begun to rebel, and the west has not yet rebelled. Perhaps Ji Chang is planning a future rebellion!"

"."

As more and more people started talking about it, similar voices emerged one after another, eventually converging into a mainstream voice.

Soon, the mainstream discussion was that Ji Chang deduced the sixty-four hexagrams in order to prevent the high priest from stabilizing the destiny, seize Fuxi's destiny, and prepare for future rebellion.

The mystery of destiny is almost fully displayed at this moment.

If Yin Ziyu had not stabilized the fortune in the Conferred Gods, then Ji Chang, who had attained enlightenment and created the sixty-four hexagrams, would be a great sage praised by everyone.

The fortune of the Shang Dynasty was instantly affected and divided.

However, Yin Ziyu stabilized his luck, and his luck failed to enter Xiqi. Then Ji Chang was performing the sixty-four hexagrams, which gave rise to conspiracy theories, and most of them were critical.

Although Yin Ziyu was the one who influenced this, it was actually the bad luck brought about by Ji Chang and Xiqi's own lack of luck.

At the same time, after Yin Ziyu created the Great Shang Calendar, he suppressed the destiny, and Ji Chang performed the sixty-four hexagrams, but was unable to differentiate the destiny.

Therefore, the mystery contained in this is that Qiyun is virtual, Yin Ziyu is real, and the compatibility between virtual and real produces the effect.

And now, Yin Ziyu is actually the paperhanger of Cheng Tang Jiangshan, desperately trying to maintain the stability of his luck and prolong the life of Cheng Tang Jiangshan.

It is precisely because of the stability of his luck that Yin Ziyu exists. If his luck was unstable, no one would become a paperhanger.

Yin Ziyu appeared when the fortune was stable. Because Yin Ziyu stabilized the fortune, and because the stable fortune did not flow into Xiqi, Ji Chang was in trouble.

This is the unspeakable logic, which is extremely mysterious.

This leads to different interpretations of the same thing.

The discussions of all living beings, and even the saints, have all changed at this moment.

Nuwa's brows furrowed, a look of anger appearing on her face. She immediately turned towards Kunlun Mountain and said, "Brother Yuanshi, shouldn't you give me an explanation for this matter? Ji Chang's ability is not enough to deduce the sixty-four hexagrams. The Immortal of the South Pole has been in Xiqi for countless years. These sixty-four hexagrams were taught to me by you, right? Could it be that you are coveting my fortune?"

Yuanshi Tianzun knew Nuwa was about to question him, "Junior sister, the general trend of Heaven's Way, the sixty-four hexagrams originally belonged to Ji Chang. Even if I hadn't taught Ji Chang, the sixty-four hexagrams would have been born. This is the perfection of Heaven's Way. Junior sister, you are being unreasonable by questioning me like this!"

After hearing this, Nuwa was first stunned, then she flew into a rage: "Okay, okay, okay, Brother Yuanshi actually spoke like this, taking away my brother's luck, and making a scene out of me!"

At this time, Laozi came to the rescue: "Junior Sister Nuwa is also a saint. She should know that the sixty-four hexagrams are the ultimate evolution of the great Dao of heaven and earth, and should also be born at this time. If my second brother failed to teach Ji Chang, could Junior Sister deduce the sixty-four hexagrams? Did Fuxi deduce it? Did Fuxi's daughter, Concubine Mi, deduce the sixty-four hexagrams?"

"This"

Nuwa was suddenly speechless after being asked by Laozi.

At this moment, Fuxi watched Ji Chang deduce the sixty-four hexagrams. Now that the acquired hexagrams had come out, it was basically time for his own innate eight trigrams to retire!
This made Fuxi angry, and he couldn't help but look towards the direction of Xuanyuan Cave.

Because Ji Chang was a descendant of Xuanyuan, Fuxi could not help but look angry: "Xuanyuan, this is going to completely replace my way!"

Since ascending to the Fire Cloud Cave, Fuxi has been the person in charge of the Fire Cloud Cave. Logically speaking, under the abdication system, no matter how many people ascend in the future, he is the Emperor of Heaven, the one who created the world with one stroke of the brush, and the ancestor of human civilization.

When Shennong ascended to heaven, he was peaceful and would not infringe upon the status of Emperor Fuxi. Later, when Xuanyuan ascended to heaven, although he was extremely enterprising, he was still respectful to himself.

Later, the situation changed. Zhuanxu, as the grandson of Xuanyuan, ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave, which made Fuxi feel the crisis.

Later, Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun and Yu arrived one after another. The Five Emperors were all descendants of Xuanyuan, but Shennong still did not participate in these things, so Fuxi was completely deprived of his right to speak.

Later, when the Xia Dynasty came to power, Fuxi became basically invisible.

Some people even secretly say that Fuxi was once the Demon King.

Now, he even created the sixty-four hexagrams, replacing Fuxi's only dignity.

What is the most important thing for these great gods in the ancient times?
It is not a magical treasure, nor is it one's own life, but one's own Tao. How many people can be influenced by one's Tao? The number of people influenced represents the amount of luck one enjoys. This is the fundamental thing.

When the principles are irreconcilable, it becomes a life-and-death struggle.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents, and in the ancient times, cutting off someone's path is even more unforgivable.

At this time, while all parties were discussing Ji Chang's affairs, Ji Chang was preparing to leave Chaoge quickly.

Suddenly, a man with wings on his back fell from the sky and landed next to Ji Chang in an instant.

"Father, please let me carry you away!"

Ji Chang looked at the person who had arrived and immediately asked, "Who are you?"

"Father, I am your son Bai Zi. I followed Master to practice in the Jade Pillar Cave. I accidentally ate Master's immortal apricot, and just now I have grown wings on my back and turned into a green-faced, fang-toothed creature. Now you are in danger, and I have come to take you away!"

After hearing this, Ji Chang was shocked, and then overjoyed: "You are really the Hundred Sons!"

"That's right, my child. Please let me carry my father away!"

Ji Chang was extremely happy at this moment: "Good, good, good! I never thought that Baizi would come here. This makes me very happy!"

Baizi refers to the hundredth son.

Just as Lei Zhenzi was about to leave with Ji Chang on his back, countless immortal soldiers suddenly surrounded the altar. Ji Chang saw this and shouted, "Your Majesty just issued an order to let me go. What do you mean by that?"

At this time, Yin Ziyu's voice was heard faintly: "Marquis Xibo, please wait a moment. Now that Marquis Xibo has just achieved the status of a sage of the human race, why should you be so anxious? And how can I not come to see Marquis Xibo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Ziyu fell from the sky and landed in front of Ji Chang.

Looking at Yin Ziyu in front of him, Ji Chang suddenly became extremely solemn. Ji Chang had long been wary of this deputy prime minister, and he also basically knew that all the strategies after Emperor Xin ascended the throne were the work of this man.

Unexpectedly, Bigan actually came. Ji Chang's expression immediately became solemn. "So it's Ya Xiang who has arrived. Today, Ya Xiang has successfully sorted out the origins of the five elements of the prehistoric world. He has reached the half-step Great Shang calendar, which has greatly improved his luck. I admire him. In comparison, Ya Xiang is a sage!"

Yin Ziyu said calmly, "I dare not, I dare not. But the Marquis of Xibo is being carried on his back. Where is he going? Since His Majesty has issued an order, why not leave with dignity? Are you worried about His Majesty?"

After hearing this, Ji Chang was immediately shocked and said quickly, "How dare Ji Chang have such intentions!"

Yin Ziyu said, "I don't think the Lord of Xibo would have such intentions. The Lord of Xibo has just comprehended the sixty-four hexagrams and can be said to be a great sage of the human race. I am just thinking of discussing this with the Lord of Xibo!"

"Oh? How does the Prime Minister discuss the Dao?"

At this time, when the immortals from all sides saw Yin Ziyu coming to Ji Chang, many of them gathered together and watched the two sages who had just obtained the merits of the Heavenly Dao to discuss the Dao.

Even the other saints turned their eyes to the two of them.

Now is the period of great catastrophe, and all saints know how the great catastrophe will unfold, which is between the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Between the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Yin Ziyu was the paperhanger of the Shang Dynasty, while Ji Chang was an emerging force who was entrusted with important tasks by the sage.

Now the two of them can represent the direction of this catastrophe.

The eyes of several saints all fell on the two of them, watching to see how they would bring about changes in this catastrophe!
After hearing this, Ji Chang said, "So the Prime Minister wants to discuss the Dao. I wonder what Dao he wants to discuss?"

Ji Chang naturally knew that Yin Ziyu definitely had some plans, so he looked at Yin Ziyu cautiously.

Yin Ziyu smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you get off my son's back now, Lord Xibo? However, since Lord Xibo has already comprehended the sixty-four hexagrams, I wonder what hexagram this scene represents?"

After hearing this, Ji Chang looked at Yin Ziyu, who had a smile on his face, and immediately became cautious.

Now all the immortals are watching, so I have no choice but to speak.

Ji Chang frowned slightly, glanced at the immortals watching around him, then looked at Yin Ziyu who looked calm, thinking secretly in his heart.

Ji Chang calmed himself, stroked his beard, and spoke slowly, "The current situation, you and I discussing the Dao, is a symbol of the Tianshui lawsuit. Litigation means dispute. Right now, you and I are confronting each other, and so many immortals are paying attention, which is a symbol of this."

Yin Ziyu shook his head. "That's not right. Water is everywhere in the world, and it's a dispute between heaven and water. Heaven represents the pure air rising, while water represents the moist air descending. This is a sign of their divergence, and therefore their different paths, which is why there's a dispute. However, I haven't had any disputes with Xibo Hou about my different paths, so how can there be a dispute?"

Yin Ziyu's words immediately made Ji Chang's heart skip a beat. This was the truth he had realized. If he allowed the other party to defeat him in his own field, then the prestige he had just gained would be lost.

At this moment, all the onlookers couldn't help but talk about it.

"I didn't expect the High Priest to be so capable. The Lord Xibo had just comprehended the sixty-four hexagrams, and the High Priest was able to refute the Lord Xibo within the sixty-four hexagrams. It's truly astonishing!"

"The High Priest's words make sense. Although we are discussing the Dao now, it has only just begun and no disagreements have arisen. How can we start a lawsuit?"

"Indeed, the Duke of Xibo regards his situation as a lawsuit. This is wrong!"

"."

Hearing the discussions around him, Ji Chang suddenly became nervous. Since it was a lawsuit, it could not be changed. If he could not justify himself, the consequence would be that his own way would not be maintained.

Ji Chang immediately calmed down and said calmly: "Since this prince has mentioned litigation, he has his own intentions. The sub-prime minister has not yet explained the reason. However, the Tianshui litigation, the first six, will not last long. There are some small discussions, but it will be auspicious in the end. Although there is a discussion of the truth at this time, it can be clarified. If the sub-prime minister and this prince have a dispute, then the nine two is the way of Yin turning into Yang, which will lead to a big dispute!"

After hearing this, Yin Ziyu clapped his hands and said, "Excellent! As expected of the Marquis of Xibo, your ability to deduce infinite changes is truly admirable to me. The first six lines show that one can withdraw if one can discern clearly. This shows that the Marquis of Xibo is still determined to leave, and that he is extremely vigilant. Since Your Majesty has already ordered the Marquis of Xibo to return to Xiqi, I still come to discuss the Dao. In this case, the Marquis of Xibo thinks that I am coming to embarrass him. If so, I believe that the Tianshui lawsuit is still insufficient, and I have a more suitable hexagram!"

Ji Chang was stunned. "Oh, I wonder which hexagram does the Prime Minister think is more suitable for this prince?"

Yin Ziyu smiled faintly, "Heaven is the father, thunder is the son, and the son of the Marquis of Xibo is filled with the power of thunder, making his appearance even more powerful. Heaven is on the back of thunder, and His Majesty has ordered his release. He is determined to leave, but he is blocked by his true form, making the Marquis of Xibo wary and worried. This is the most authentic hexagram, representing the hexagram of Heavenly Thunder without Any Cause. This is a sign that the Marquis of Xibo will suffer an unexpected disaster. Moreover, heavenly thunder all moves with the sky. It is far more appropriate for the Marquis of Xibo's son to carry the Marquis of Xibo from heaven than for the heaven and water to separate. Does the Marquis of Xibo think that Heavenly Thunder without Any Cause is more appropriate?"

Yin Ziyu's explanation was clear, and the hexagram was even clearer. The people around him were all amazed after hearing it.

"In comparison, Tianlei Wuwang is indeed better than Tianshui Song. Although Lei and Kan are both sons of Qian, this person's thunder magic is more suitable. Tianlei Wuwang is indeed better than Tianshui Song!"

"The fusion of Qian and Kun gave rise to three sons and three daughters. Qian is the father, Kun is the mother. Qian and Kun are compatible, which gives rise to thunder. Kan and Gen are the sons, and Xun, Li, and Dui are the daughters. In this scene, heavenly thunder is indeed more suitable than heavenly water."

"It's indescribably wonderful. Between heaven and water, water flows downward, heaven flows upward, and the heavenly thunder also moves with the heavens. No matter what, the heavenly thunder is undoubtedly superior to the heavenly water. I never thought that the sixty-four hexagrams created by Xibo Hou would have such a loophole, and he would be inferior to the high priest!"

"."

There was a sudden sigh among the people around, and this was exactly the effect Yin Ziyu wanted.

It’s not that Ji Chang didn’t realize this, but it’s a manifestation of the saying that those who are involved are often confused while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.

As the person in charge, Ji Chang was mainly influenced by Yin Ziyu's theory of Taoism. Since he was mainly influenced by the theory of Taoism, there would be disputes in the future, but he ignored other explanations.

When Ji Chang heard the sigh, his pupils shrank slightly and his silver-white beard trembled in the strong wind.

At this moment, one must stick to his own path and must not make any mistakes. This was Ji Chang's idea!
"The Wuwang hexagram?"

Ji Chang shook his head calmly. "What the High Priest said may seem reasonable, but it's not. The hexagram 'Heavenly Thunder without Error' means that only by upholding righteousness can one prosper. If one acts unjustly, disaster will surely befall him. Now that Your Majesty has issued an order to release him, this prince and Xiqi will abide by the law. How can such an unwarranted disaster befall us?"

Ji Chang paused and said, "It is the High Priest who, under the pretext of discussing the Dao, actually obstructs the process. This is exactly the variation of the Nine-Two hexagram of the Song hexagram!"

As soon as Ji Chang finished speaking, the immortals watching the ceremony around him began to whisper to each other.

"The counterattack from the Duke of Xibo is quite sharp, suggesting that the High Priest's motives are impure."

"The thunder from heaven is an unexpected disaster. Now it seems that if the high priest Ji Chang wants to use this to suppress the Duke of Xibo, then this is also correct!"

"The Duke of Xibo told the High Priest that both hexagrams are correct. From my perspective, the son betrayed his father, followed his superiors, and was stopped by the High Priest. This is even more correct. The Duke of Xibo's own principles were refuted by the High Priest. This time, the Duke of Xibo's prestige has been damaged!"

Yin Ziyu's expression remained unchanged, instead he chuckled softly, "Lord Xibo is indeed eloquent, but the truth of the hexagram is more than just superficial. Heavenly thunder is unpredictable, thundering throughout the world, like a son receiving his father's orders only to be thwarted. This is the unpredictable laws of nature. Consider the sixth and third lines, which depict an unpredictable disaster, or perhaps a tied ox, a traveler's gain, and a town dweller's disaster. Aren't these travelers and townspeople a reflection of you and me? If Lord Xibo insists on believing this hexagram is inappropriate, then perhaps he hasn't yet grasped his own principles?"

Yin Ziyu's words directly pointed out that these sixty-four hexagrams do not belong to you, Ji Chang, and you, Ji Chang, are just a fame-seeker.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, and then they all couldn't help but sigh: "So it seems that it must be Tian Lei Wuwang. Looking at the scene at this moment, it is really lifelike!"

"Today's changes are truly astonishing. The two great sages of humanity have both made great contributions. However, Xibo Hou, who had just comprehended the sixty-four hexagrams and perfected his own way, was left at a loss when questioned by the high priest about his own way. Is there something fishy going on?"

"Those who have attained enlightenment to the Dao of the sixty-four hexagrams should be able to understand their own Dao. If they cannot, then there must be something fishy going on."

The deduction is like this, it is not just about writing it down, otherwise it is not yours even if you write it down.

Instead, we should integrate all the changes in the evolution into our hearts one by one.

After Yin Ziyu sorted out the sixty Jiazi, he basically understood the law of the five elements. This is the reason.

Furthermore, Yin Ziyu was the organizer of the sixty Jiazi, not the complete creator. But at this time, Yin Ziyu questioned the original creator with the sixty-four hexagrams, and there was a mistake. Now everyone knew that there was a problem.
