"What do these ancestral witches holding Wu Xian mean?" Song Siyuan was puzzled.
"Is it some kind of mechanism?" Ren Peacock's words made everyone shake their heads.
"We can only put these aside for now and let's take a look at the murals on the stone platform!"
After Song Siyuan approached the side hall, she could directly see the interconnected murals on the stone platform. These murals were also in the style of the Tang Dynasty. They were rich in color, majestic, delicate, elegant and bold, but they were divided into different frames like film. There are relief borders on the left and right sides of each frame, connected front and back, like a square frame surrounding the entire temple.
They went up to the top of the stone platform and took a closer look at the first portrait!
The first mural is slightly longer in all directions. The painting is filled with white patches, which look like clouds and cotton bushes. There are two intersecting circles floating in the middle, as if two discs are joined together. One is pure white and the other is pure red. The two are like the sun and the moon, with a hazy white and red halo.
Right below the mural, there are seal scripts from the Tang Dynasty written on it. The ink wedges are specially engraved on it. Even if it fades over thousands of years, the handwriting can definitely be read clearly.
"Jia Zi's prophecy said, the vast world has no end, the sun and the moon cycle, and the cycle begins again; the song said, from Pangu to Xiyi, tigers fight with dragons, and things are strange. I understand the true meaning of the cycle, and try to discuss the origin of the machine in the later Tang Dynasty."
Sun Daqiao listened to Song Siyuan's words, walked through the crowd, and seemed to have seen some precious calligraphy and painting. He touched it here and there with trembling fingers, and his eyes were very happy: "Everyone, this is a prophecy picture!"
"You mean, this is the "Tuibei Prophecy Picture" deduced by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng using the Eight Diagrams?"
Song Siyuan did not hide her surprise at all. If this picture is true, it would be a great discovery of the Republic of China.
"Yes, that's right!"
After saying that, Sun Daqiao took out his reading glasses and put them on his eyes, and explained: "I used to set up a stall in the Capital City God's Temple, where someone used to sell the gold-scripted "Tuibei Prophecy Picture". After taking a few glances, this is the first image of Tuibei prophecy."
He paused, pointed at the two red and white circles and showed off his knowledge: "Look at these two disks, white and red. White is the moon, and red is the sun. The red and white are intertwined, which means day and night circulate with each other. "
Among the various images in the Tuibei prophecy diagram, only the first image and the last image are not real but imaginary. This first image explains the trend of ancient and modern times, which is to control chaos, balance, divide and intersect, just like the yin of the moon. It is the same as clear moon, round moon and waning. It can be said that it is the cycle of sun and moon, coming and going, yin and yang. "
"Youdao is the cycle of the sun and the moon, day and night, day and night are continuous, the cold and heat are determined, the cold and heat are clearly determined, the calendar is divided into systems, and the system is restored to see the rise and fall. This is the principle of yin and yang, the cycle begins again, and it is the embodiment of yin and yang thought. "
"What about this one?"
Song Siyuan came to the third prophecy picture, which was much more gorgeous:
A splendid palace stood on the bones, and all the ministers gathered in the palace, shouting long live the mountains. However, the person standing on the steps was not an emperor, but a graceful and elegant woman in elegant clothes.
She picked up a huge sword in her right hand, and the colorful sleeves in her left hand were flying, but there was a whip tail hidden at the end. The bun on the top of her head should have been a hairpin, but it seemed to be a bow. A bloated hen without a crest squatted at her feet, raising her head. The chicken's beak is raised as if it is crowing.
There are also a few prophecies below: Bingyin's prophecy says, the sun and moon are in the sky, shining down on the earth, confusing, neither literary nor military; the chant says, the king's form is empty, and once he re-enters the imperial palace, all the remaining branches are still there after pulling out the roots. , oh, who is the male in the morning?
Sun Daqiao walked over and said with a proud face: "This is the hexagram about the heroine becoming emperor. It refers to Wu Zhao's chaos in the country and proclaiming himself emperor."
"Look!"
Sun Daqiao explained the meaning of this mural one by one:
"The sun and moon were in the sky, and Wu Meiniang changed her name to Wu Zhao after she became emperor. In order to secure the throne, this person established the informant system, appointed Lai Junchen and other cruel officials to carry out severe punishments, and made the people speechless for many years, creating There have been many unjust, false and wrongful convictions.”
"The sword and whip in his hand refer to his powerful skills. As for the hen crowing, it's easier to understand. It's the hen Si Chen. She should be wearing pearls on her head, but she has a bowstring without arrows. The bowstring represents force, and it can be said that the heroine harms the country and uses force."
Later, Song Siyuan pointed to several other paintings. Taking advantage of Sun Daqiao's explanation, she and Yue Guanchao looked at all the Tui Bei prophecy paintings. After checking the murals, his eyes became curious: "As far as I know, Tui Bei prophecy There are only sixty pictures of the prophecies on the back, but what we saw are sixty-four. It can be seen that what the old man Chao said is true, and several aspects of the pictures of the prophecies on the back have been deleted!"
"This is also possible!"
Sun Daqiao seemed to have expected it, pointing to the Tuibei prophecy picture and explained:
"The Tuibei prophecy predicts major dynasty events in the 1,500 years after the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it is extremely accurate and has many prophecies. Anyone who knows Feng Shui can calculate a lot of things."
"Emperors of all dynasties since then have regarded this book as a forbidden book. They couldn't help it, and they have completely messed up the order. Even if it is true, because messing up the order makes it confusing, ordinary people want to rely on these to read. It’s really difficult to get out the door.”
