Chapter 128
"Then, what should we do now?" asked Da Jin Ya.
"There are eight things on each of the eight walls. According to the meaning of the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates, there is a corresponding artifact on each wall. We must find the corresponding artifact to crack the mechanism!"
"Oh, so that's how it is, but there are so many things, how can we know which one it is?" asked the fat man.
"In the Eight Gates Dunjia, Kai, Xiu, and Sheng are the auspicious gates, Si, Jing, and Shang are the evil gates, and Du and Jing are the medium gates. How can we correspond to so many artifacts?" Hu Bayi also said.
"There is a corresponding relationship between the Eight Gates and the Nine Palaces. The Nine Palaces are fixed and unchanging. They dominate the foundation of the earth and human gates of things, while the Eight Gates are the human gates, which are the gates evolved on the basis of the Nine Palaces." Shen Hao said.
"Put the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia in the nine palaces, the rest gate Kan is the first palace, the death gate Kun is the second palace, the injury gate Zhen is the third palace, the Du gate Xun is the fourth palace, the fifth is the center palace, the opening gate Qian is the sixth palace, the shock gate Dui is the seventh palace, the birth gate Gen is the eighth palace, and the Jing gate Li is the ninth palace."
Hu Bayi studies his "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Fengshui Secret Art" every day, and he also knows about the nine palaces and eight gates. Although he is not very proficient in these numerology, he is also very familiar with them.
After Shen Hao said this, he quickly remembered it.
At this time, Da Jin Ya asked: "But Master Shen, there is no indication on the wall which is the gate of life and which is the gate of death. How can we determine the position of the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates?"
So Hu Bayi said: "I remembered this. The correspondence of the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates is actually very simple. There is a formula: two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right, nine on the head and one on the feet, and five in the center."
The fat man felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. It was too professional. He couldn't understand it at all, so he asked with a confused look: "What does this mean?"
"Old Hu, you should explain it in a simple way. Say something that everyone can understand."
If you say you don't understand, maybe among the five people present, only the fat man doesn't understand, and the others know a little bit.
The fat man is a power-type person. He is not good at things that require thinking.
If it weren't for Hu Bayi, he really couldn't get into the tomb-robbing business.
Hu Bayi had to explain it again.
With Hu Bayi's explanation, Shen Hao didn't need to waste his words.
"The coffins in the tomb chamber all face the door. The so-called wearing nine and wearing one means that the head is nine and the foot is one."
"The position corresponding to the head nine is Li, and the foot one corresponds to Kan. The two sides of the head are shoulders, and the top of the foot is legs, so the two sides of Li are Xun and Kun, and the left and right of Kan are Gen and Qian. The so-called left three and right seven means that the left is three Zhen and the right is seven Dui."
"This is the nine palaces and eight gates we are looking for."
"Oh, so that's it. Now that the nine palaces and eight gates are clear, let's start looking for the corresponding funerary objects. How do we find this?" The fat man said again.
Everyone followed Shen Hao and Hu Bayi, walked around the tomb, and carefully observed the funerary objects on the wall.
Then they walked to the foot of the coffin, which is the rest gate of the Kan Palace.
The rest gate is located in the north and is the first palace of Kan, which is the Kan hexagram, and the five elements belong to water.
Among several artifacts, Shen Hao chose the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue and said to everyone: "Let's find the artifacts corresponding to each door first. Don't move them. When we find all of them, we can move them together. Otherwise, once we move, the mechanism will be activated and we can't stop. Only when we find all eight of them will the mechanism stop!"
"Oh, Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will never touch anything!" The fat man patted his chest and promised.
Now everyone is trapped in the mechanism, and the fat man dare not be careless.
Walking to the Ksitigarbha statue, Shen Hao said, "Kan water, corresponds to this statue."
Big Gold Teeth asked in confusion, "Hey, Master Shen, this statue is made of copper, and it has nothing to do with water."
"I know this, Kan is water, but it's just an appearance. Kan is in the middle of the hexagram, sticking to the right path and keeping the mind. The Buddhist scriptures say that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rescued his suffering mother from hell several times, and vowed that he would never become a Buddha until hell was empty. It coincides with the image here." Hu Bayi said.
"Oh, I see, self-sacrifice and great compassion, it must be right!" The fat man nodded vigorously.
Everyone moved forward counterclockwise, and next, the Qian Palace opened the door.
The Qian Palace opened the door. The door was located in the northwest, which was the Qian Sixth Palace, the Qian Gua. The five elements belonged to gold, which was the sky, the head, the father, and the leader in society. There were many wars in the northwest, and the bronze sword was the king, the monarch, the cold, the gold, and the Qian Gua.
Dui Palace Jingmen, Jingmen is located in the west, Dui Palace 7, Dui Gua, the five elements are gold, it represents a girl, joy, and sheep. It corresponds to the sheep bottle.
Kun Palace Simen, Simen is located in the southwest, Kun Palace 2, Kun Gua, the five elements are earth. Jade is born in the earth, and blood jade is bloody, which is the Kun Gua.The image of the most yin is just right.
Li Palace Jingmen, Jingmen is located in the south, Li Nine Palaces, Li Gua, and the five elements belong to fire. Zhuque belongs to fire, corresponding to Zhuque pattern candlestick.
Xun Palace Dumen, Dumen is located in the southeast, Xun Four Palaces, Xun Gua, and the five elements belong to wood. It represents wind and the eldest daughter. It corresponds to the golden nanmu miniature screen.
Zhen Palace Shangmen, Shangmen is located in the east, Zhen Three Palaces, Zhen Gua, and the five elements belong to wood, movement, dragon, and thunder. The Western Zhou Dynasty Yunlei Pattern Li Gui, with dragons on both sides and cloud and thunder patterns on top, just corresponds.
Gen Palace Shengmen, Shengmen is located in the northeast, Gen Eight Palaces, Gen Gua, mountain, stop, dog, corresponding to the khaki jade dog.
"Okay, Master Shen is awesome, all eight artifacts have been found, so should we take them down now?" The fat man asked, rubbing his hands.
"That's right, but these artifacts are all connected to mechanisms, I'm afraid we can't take them down." Shen Hao said to the fat man with a smile.
"Ah? Doesn't that mean that with so many artifacts, we can only look at them but not take them? This is too much, this tomb owner is too stingy!" The fat man was disappointed, his face was about to be twisted into a ball.
He was too uncomfortable to only look at them.
"Okay, the three of you go over there, one for each, and Wu Chan and I will be responsible for the five places here."
Hu Bayi and the other two chose a wall each, and the five of them turned the artifacts on it at the same time.
The artifacts could not be taken down, they could only be turned.
As soon as everyone moved, the mechanism started immediately, and a "click" sound of the mechanism running came from behind the wall.
The ground corresponds to the eight walls, divided into eight parts, shrinking into the wall.
This is the countdown after the mechanism is turned on. If you can't find all eight mechanisms in time, you will fall down.
Seeing the mechanism activated, Shen Hao quickly turned the remaining three objects.
The mechanism stopped as soon as it showed a little gap.
Then it closed again and returned to its original state, and the closed tomb door was reopened.
At this time, the chessboard on the central stone platform made another noise.
