It gets louder and louder, resounding through the eardrums and reverberating throughout the heart. It is very loud, but it is so noisy that it makes people calm.
It's Yun Kong's hands that are shaking, and it's Yun Kong's thoughts that are pouring into it.
Suddenly, the turtle shell stopped in mid-air, and Yun Kong's hand stopped.
The copper coin made its final ring.
Everything returns to tranquility.
Yun Kong breathed a sigh of relief, tilted the turtle shell, and the coins slid out one by one and were arranged on the ground.
All three are on the back, which is "Old Yang", indicating that Yang Qi has reached its extreme and will begin to turn Yin.
"Yang Yao symbolizes father." So Yunkong decided to do divination for the old man first.
"Excuse me, husband, what do you want to ask me?"
"I want to live in the human world, but I don't know how good or bad it will be?" the old man said.
Yun Kong put three copper coins into the turtle shell, hugged the turtle shell with both hands, and felt the aura coming out of the turtle shell.
With his mind settled, he shook it for a while and poured out the money.
The first time a back side is shaken out, it is Shan Yang, which is "Shao Yang", which is the nascent Yang Qi.
The second time was also Shaoyang.
The third time has three literal characters: "Jiao", "Yin", and "Old Yin", which means that the Yin Qi has reached its extreme and is about to turn into Yang, so it is the "changing Yao" of Hui Yin turning into Yang.
The fourth time the two backs are shaken out, they are divided into yin, which is "Shaoyin", the newly born yin.
The fifth time is also Shaoyin, and the sixth time is Shaoyang.
In this way, the results obtained by shaking the hexagrams six times are arranged from bottom to top as yang, yang, yin, yin, yin, yang, with the "Dui" hexagram at the bottom and the "Gen" hexagram at the top.
"The mountains and rivers are damaged..." Yunkong said to himself, and then explained to the old man: "This hexagram, up and down, is called the 'damage' hexagram."
The old man nodded: "I have also read the Yi Jing roughly, please tell me."
"But there is a change in the third line, which is the six-three movement, and the yin changes to yang, from 'loss' to the 'big animal' hexagram." Yun Kong thought for a while and said: "The hexagram of the loss hexagram says: 'You have fortune, Yuanji' , Can avoid faults, can be chaste. Benefits will go to you. Use two Gui to enjoy." It means that there is something gained, good luck and no disaster, the things you occupy are feasible, it is beneficial to go out, you can use two bowls of rice to sacrifice to ghosts and gods."
After hearing this, the old man said happily: "Can I go down the mountain?"
"Wait a moment, the sixty-third line of this hexagram moves, and the line says: "If three people go together, one person will lose, but if one person goes alone, he will gain his friend." It means that two people walking together can help each other, because if three people walking together, they will have different opinions, and one person will gain a friend. Non-negotiable.”
"How to explain this?" The old man was deeply confused.
"The lower hexagram of 'Loss' is Dui hexagram, which represents marsh, and the upper hexagram is Gen, which means mountain. Therefore, it is a symbol of marsh at the bottom of the mountain. It means that you can get the blessings at the bottom of the mountain on the mountain. I think it is more beneficial to be on the mountain."
The old man frowned and listened attentively.
"If three people travel together, one person will lose..." Yun Kong hesitated.
"What?" the old man asked nervously.
The mountain has completely fallen into the embrace of darkness, and the cold wind has become stronger, blowing an old tree hanging halfway up the mountain to the point of collapse. However, it has miraculously survived for many years, and it is estimated that it will continue to survive.
But no matter how strong the wind is, it still cannot affect the vegetable garden and thatched hut.
No matter how strong the wind blows, the hut still doesn't sway, as if it doesn't exist.
In fact it really doesn't exist.
It is a "being" shaped by the thoughts of the two mandrills in the house.
The bamboo pole hanging with the banner "divination and fortune telling. Strange and difficult diseases" is leaning against the wall built with thoughts, while the yellow cloth bag with "Innate Bagua" painted on it is placed on the ground that really exists.
The fire burning was real, so the room was unusually warm.
"Let's put aside the hexagram about damaging Liusan for now." Yunkong picked up the turtle shell, put in the copper coins, and asked the girl, "What do you want to occupy?"
The girl's eyes slipped and she said sweetly: "I also want to go down the mountain and get married." She was not shy, "There was a young man who came up the mountain a few days ago and I fell in love with him."
Yun Kongru shook it six times before and got six lines: Shaoyang, Laoyin, Shaoyang, Shaoyin, Shaoyang, Shaoyang. The lower hexagram is "Li" and the upper hexagram is "Xun", forming the "family" hexagram. .
"This hexagram is called 'Family', and the hexagram says: 'Benefiting privet', which means that all women will be lucky if they ask questions.
"But the movement of sixty-two turns into the hexagram 'Little Animal', and the line says: 'Yousui, in the center, chaste and auspicious'..."
The girl was a little excited, her eyes full of anticipation, and seeing her reddish face, Yun Kong also felt a little dizzy.
"No, no, no." Yun Kong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then continued: "The meaning of Yao Ci is that if a woman can stay at home and take care of the housework, it is good luck for the family."
"I don't understand."
"It means you can't leave home."
"Can't you go down the mountain?"
Yun Kong nodded: "Obviously." He felt quite uneasy about the line "three people walking together will harm one person" that harmed Liu San.
The two of them, probably two mandrills, turned into human mandrills and began to meditate.
Yun Kong said nothing, put away the turtle shell and copper coins, sat cross-legged and calmed down, waiting for the next move of the two mandrills.
Yunkong thought to himself: "These two hexagrams are really strange. When occupying the father-in-law, "loss" becomes "big animal", and when occupying a woman, "family" becomes "small animal". Is it really a secret?" "Animal" originally meant "savings" "The meaning of ", from this point of view, exactly fits the meaning of "animal".
The hexagram of the big animal is quite auspicious: "It is good for chastity and does not eat domestic food. It is good for crossing large rivers." It means that although it is risky, the result is still beneficial.
But Xiao Zhu's hexagram made him uneasy: "Dense clouds do not rain, I am in the western suburbs." It was windy but not raining outside.
The mystery of the hexagrams could not be understood for a while due to his lack of human experience.
In short, he felt uneasy.
※※※
The strong wind was blowing halfway up the mountain, and it was hard to imagine anyone going up the mountain at this moment.
However, there is indeed a spark-like light at the bottom of the mountain, slowly heading up the mountain.
This group of people made no sound. They wore thick-soled cloth shoes and marched on the rugged mountain road, not even disturbing the insects in the forest.
There were about ten people in this group, all of them strong, carrying large bows on their backs, and thirty wolf-tooth arrows made of fine iron in their quivers.
They didn't show any murderous intent, they were all friendly.
It's not because they have any special methods to hide their murderous intent, but because they regard killing as a commonplace, have no mercy or compassion for the prey they want to kill, and are happy that they are about to get the prey, so they feel peaceful in their hearts.
What's strange is that the leader is an old man in his sixties, who is strong and can walk faster than anyone else. He does not carry a big bow on his back, but holds a "divine arm crossbow" in his hand.
This divine arm crossbow was the invention of his grandfather. His family had been hunters for generations. His grandfather Li Hong was especially good at inventing weapons, and the weapons were their hunting tools. Forty years ago, his grandfather Li Hong improved the ancient crossbow. The crossbow that originally required two people to load the arrows was improved to a crossbow that only requires one person to step on the foot. It is lighter and easier to load. aim. When Shenzong ascended the throne, Li Hong presented this weapon, which became an important weapon for the Song Army to fight against the Liao and Jin Kingdoms in the future.
However, the God Arm Crossbow used by the sixty-year-old man is a new version that he has continuously improved. His grandfather increased the range to more than 240 steps (about 370 meters) and can still penetrate the thick bark of the elm tree, and he also Increases range and penetration by half.
He led his disciple's family up the mountain today for an order.
The mountain breeze blew through his nose, and he could smell the prey on the order from a long way away.
The old man raised his left arm to signal the people behind him to stop. He had found his target.
"Remember, you must not call anyone's name." He asked his disciples to pass this sentence to the rear one by one, and the disciples all paused.
He was very careful, and he wanted his disciples to be very careful too.
Before setting off, he had already warned them: "This kind of monster is called Shancao by local people. If it knows a person's name, it can use magic to hurt people, so it keeps tempting people to reveal their names." , whenever you go up the mountain in the future, you must be careful of monsters like this."
In addition to hunting and selling themselves, they also accept special orders to hunt for rare and exotic scents for those who can afford the price.
When I was a child, my father once caught a foreign object in a trap. It had yellow hair and short black hair. It was not like an ape. It only had one arm and one leg. It was not missing arms and legs, but it was born with one arm and one leg. It looked at the young man with tears in its eyes, and actually spoke human language: "Little brother, what's your name?" He didn't dare to answer, and his father also shouted: "Silence! This is a mandrill, let it know you." His name has captured your soul!"
The mandrill was imprisoned in a forbidden room and no one except his father was allowed to approach him.
Soon, my father found a buyer. Someone was interested in mandrills and bought them at a high price, cooked them and ate them.
