Chapter 801

"However, we still don't know where Bi Mihu is. This woman is not simple, and it is difficult to find her." Cang Yunxiao frowned.

Fan Jiannan said slowly, "I have an idea, although I don't know if it will work, but it won't hurt to try."

"What way?" Cang Yunxiao frowned, "You can't even figure out where they are with your Armor Breaking Technique, so what else can we do?"

Long Ge said sternly, "The thing is like this, there is no effective way to occupy the position of the tester of the Eastern secret art. Bi Mihu is very careful, she should have taken precautions against Fan Jiannan's Dunjia hexagram art in advance. So just now I discussed with Fan Jiannan and decided to use an even more ancient divination technique."

"Older Divination Technique?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise, "Is there anything older than the Dunjia Technique? Wait...you mean...to use Lianshanyi?"

"That's right, Lianshanyi is older than Zhouyi, and it uses another completely different method. Yarrow uses 97 strategies, uses eight as a stroke, and can't be judged by numbers. It must be good or bad." Fan Jiannan Shen He said, "And there is one of the oldest divination methods in Lianshanyi, which is the ancestor of divination in the world - tortoise divination!"

"Turtle divination?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

The so-called "divination" is actually two things, divination is divination, and divination is divination.Although they all belong to ancient divination techniques, they use different props, methods of divination, and the era of application and the level of understanding contained in them are also different.It is only because of the same nature that people call the two together.

In ancient times, people first asked the gods or ghosts about good and bad fortunes for almost everything, and then decided their own actions.There are many methods of divination. In addition to divination and divination, there are also astrology and dream divination.Shang mainly used "divination", and Zhou Dynasty mainly used "divination".

The people of Yin were prevalent in tortoise divination, and everything must be divination.For example, changes in the celestial phenomena related to wind, rain, and solar eclipses; symbols related to fishing, hunting, and farming; wars related to foreign military use and foreign invasion; Things, almost omnipotent.You can use tortoise shells or animal bones for divination.Guiyang mainly refers to its plastron rather than carapace.Because the carapace of the tortoise is thick, it is not easy to make a sign, and the surface of the carapace is uneven, so it is difficult to determine the texture, so the carapace is discarded.

Animal bones mainly refer to the scapula and tibia of cattle, sheep, pigs, and deer. When using the tibia, first cut it open.Tortoise divination is made by drilling holes in tortoise shells or animal bones, and roasting them over fire, with cracks appearing around them.The burning and cracking of the tortoise shell or the criss-cross cracks that appear after the tortoise shell is burnt and cracked are collectively referred to as "bu".Ancient people believe that cracks of different shapes contain specific mysterious meanings, and these specific, different types and shapes of cracks are called "signs".Judging the good or bad of personnel according to the shape of the divination is "gui divination" or "divination".

The divination method of tortoise divination can be said to be the oldest and mysterious.Although Fan Jiannan could follow Lian Shanyi, he tried to use this method to divination.But how sure he is of success, he himself has no idea, so he can only say that he is reluctantly trying.

Feng Yuan frowned and said, "But where can we find adult tortoises? There are in the pet market, but they are all small tortoises, which do not meet the requirements of tortoise divination."

"We don't need a complete tortoise, but the tortoise print, which is the plastron of an adult tortoise." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "Actually, I sent someone to look for it a few days ago, and it should be done soon. It can be delivered."

Although ancient tortoise divination is simple and intuitive, its interpretation and rituals are quite complicated.According to the records of Lian Shanyi alone, there are 360 ​​kinds of three types of tortoises, namely jade, tile, and original, and there are more than 600 inscriptions explaining them.There are also procedures for treating tortoises, such as taking the tortoise, attacking the tortoise, provoking the tortoise, and ordering the tortoise, and the etiquette is extremely complicated.But removing the redundant steps that have nothing to do with the technique, it is actually relatively simple.

Everyone waited until the afternoon, and the adult tortoise shell purchased by Fan Jiannan's trustees finally arrived.These two pairs of tortoise shells look old and have an old feeling.However, in terms of size and shape, it is very in line with the requirements of tortoise divination.After getting the tortoise seal, Fan Jiannan and Long Ge immediately started production.

Because when performing tortoise divination, the tortoise shell must first be selected and processed, such as washing, flattening, etc., and it is necessary to deliberately either drill holes, or drill holes, or drill holes and drill holes at the same time.Generally speaking, tortoise shells are chiseled, while animal bones are often light drilled, and some are drilled and chiseled; as for how many holes to drill and how many holes to drill, there is great flexibility. rather different.After such treatment, it is then burned with fire.This is what people call "drilling a turtle to get an image".

After cleaning up a pair of tortoise seals, Fan Jiannan chiseled small holes at specific positions on the tortoise prints. These small holes were not made randomly, but were made using Bimihu's birth date, according to the layout of the ancient Luoshu. Rules are chiseled at different locations on the tortoise shell.After everything was done, Fan Jiannan found the alcohol lamp and placed it in the pure Gen seat.Put the tortoise shell on it and roast it slowly.Everyone held their breath and watched the slow changes of the tortoise shell.

Strange to say, this alcohol lamp looks ordinary, but once it moved to the Gen position, a blue flame more than a foot high immediately burst out.Because Lianshan Yi, its hexagram is headed by Chun Gen, and Gen is the mountain. The upper part of the mountain and the lower part are called Lianshan, and the clouds come out of the mountain, so the name Yi is Lianshan.

Even Long Bold could feel that the tortoise shell suddenly revealed extremely powerful mana fluctuations, which definitely did not originate from a certain person or a certain thing, but seemed to be the energy fluctuations of the hexagram orientation itself.The tortoise shell in a special position is only a catalyst, triggering this hidden magic power fluctuation.

"Ka... ka..." There was a crisp sound, and the tortoise shell that had been scorched by the fire began to crack along the pre-chiseled holes.After a series of crisp sounds, the blue flame of the alcohol lamp suddenly turned orange-yellow, and the flame became much smaller.

"It's done!" Long Ge shouted in a deep voice.

Fan Jiannan took off the cracked tortoise shell with both hands. The strange thing is that although the tortoise shell was cracked by the fire, the temperature itself is not very high.It's not hot, just warm at most.Fan Jiannan put the tortoise shell on the table, while Long Ge held a thick book and began to study the hexagrams represented by each crack one by one.

Long boldly couldn't help but said, "Can this thing be useful? I always feel that this thing is a bit evil."

"This is the most primitive form of divination, so it's almost witchcraft. It's normal to feel strange. However, you'd better hope that it will be useful, otherwise we won't even have the last resort." Cang Yunxiao sighed road.

Fan Jiannan said in a deep voice, "This is not a sorcery, but another branch of Yi Xue. These tortoise shell cracks are only used as yin and yang lines in the end to form a complete hexagram. Although Lianshan Yi is ancient, it is also a Yi Xue. Even It is the source of many techniques in later generations."

"Isn't it?" Long boldly said in surprise, "Isn't it just to burn a piece of tortoise shell? How can it be so mysterious?"

Lin Zhongxiu glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. According to what you said, isn't Zhouyi hexagrams just toss a few copper coins to see the pros and cons; isn't our Fengshui technique just to look at the direction with a compass? You just said Didn’t you see that the series of work before burning the tortoise shell is the most important. In which direction to ignite the fire, the sequence of holes in the tortoise shell all implies the principle of magic numbers, which is not as simple as you said. Besides I have also heard of this kind of tortoise divination, and the next step is the most important divination."

"Bu Song?" Long Boldly frowned, "What do you mean?"

"This is an ancient divination term, which is equivalent to the interpretation of the hexagrams of the Book of Changes." Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Old Dragon, have you found it?"

Looking at the cracks on the tortoise shell, Long Ge frowned and said, "It's very weird. The changes in the traces of these cracks are a bit abnormal. Come and see!" Long Ge pointed to the cracks on the tortoise shell and said, "Turtle signs are divided into jade signs, watt signs, and original signs. There are three types of Zhao, which are divided into three types: jade pattern, tile pattern, and field pattern. There are 120 basic shapes each, and 1000 or [-] words to determine good or bad. This one is the so-called jade pattern, and the crack starts Naturally, but the subsequent changes are very abnormal."

Fan Jiannan looked down at the crack on the tortoise shell, frowned and said, "The beginning of the jade crack is indeed natural, but the subsequent change is as straight as a knife cut. Besides, it is divided into four parts, and the surroundings are not in the same position as the chiseled hole. Irrelevant. What's going on here?"

"It should be due to the influence of external forces. It seems that Bimihu must have set up some kind of forbidden technique around their hiding place, so there are traces of such external forces in the process of divination." Long Ge whispered. .

"That's right, it's the same when I use the Dunjia technique, and I get some inexplicable data. It must be because of the interference of external forces, and she is using this method to evade our prediction." Fan Jiannan nodded.

"So, even Shanyi's tortoise divination is useless?" Long Boldly said, "Then how can we find them?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Lian Shanyi's tortoise divination is absolutely different from ordinary divination techniques. They want to stop it, but can they stop it?" Fan Jiannan smiled, took out a paper knife from the drawer, and gently cut his finger tip.The paper knife was extremely sharp, and Fan Jiannan's blood immediately flowed down his fingers.

Feng Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed, "You are..."

Fan Jiannan gently waved his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, it will be fine in a while." The blood on his hand dripped on the white tortoise shell, and instantly dyed the cracks on the tortoise shell red.Strangely, some places that had no cracks also showed red lines because of the moisture of the blood.

"What is this?" Long boldly asked in surprise.

"The most difficult part of tortoise divination is to decipher. Under the cracks on the surface, there are still many invisible cracks hidden. Once the blood drips on it, due to the capillary phenomenon in physics, the blood will spread quickly. Only by entering these small cracks can the cracks be revealed. This is the hidden divination, a part that cannot be affected by any external force." Fan Jiannan looked at the small red cracks on the tortoise shell, and said slowly, "It can make Bi Mihu have nowhere to hide. shape!"
