The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

One circular diagram, one square diagram, and two diamond diagrams. 5

The four images are composed of 64 numbers, forming patterns, with some numbers circled. Five.

After Fang Yun finished drawing, he roughly understood some of it. These numbers were probably used to represent the entrance to the cave.

"Brother Fang, is this the number for the cave entrance?"

Fang Yun nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "That's right, these numbers are the secret of this place."

"The mystery of this place?"

"let me see!"

At this moment, an excited Qi Tiezui interrupted Fang Yun and Zhang Qishan's conversation.

He moved right up to Fang Yun and stared wide-eyed at the laptop.

"This circular diagram represents the sixty-four hexagrams!"

"The square diagram likely represents the tomb chamber, as for the two rhombus-shaped diagrams..."

Seeing Qi Tiezui's thoughtful expression, Fang Yun smiled and said, "The circle represents the entire Sixty-Four Hexagrams Formation, the square represents a corner of the formation, and the rhombus represents the innate and acquired, which are the different rules."

"As long as we find the connection point between the innate and acquired sixty-four hexagrams, and substitute that connection point into a corner of the formation, we can find the hexagram of the entire formation and go straight to the central Taiji position!"

"Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols... All maze formations start from the Taiji position, which is also the only place of reincarnation."

Fang Yun directly explained the method he used to deduce the formation.

Getting past this formation isn't exactly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.

Most of the top talents in their respective fields can overcome this hurdle as long as they keep their minds focused.

For example, there are two ways to get through the maze.

By deducing the sixty-four hexagrams or using the "hearing" technique, one can easily escape this maze.

The efficiency of the two methods is about the same.

One approach is to deduce the outcome right from the start, spending a lot of time calculating at the beginning, but then moving quickly afterward.

The other method requires no deduction and can be done directly, but it is somewhat tedious as it requires listening to the instructions at each step.

After listening to Fang Yun's explanation, Qi Tiezui's excitement disappeared, replaced by deep doubt.

“Master Fang, I have learned all of what you are talking about.”

"But the innate and the acquired are different, and there are countless branching paths after each cave entrance. How did you calculate the junctions among them?"

He understood the question, but he simply couldn't figure out the answer.

Fang Yun did not answer, but looked at Qi Tiezui and said meaningfully:

"You can memorize the 'Nine-Nine Song' and then look at the pattern of the numbers in it."

The square and circle diagram of the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi and the diagram of the number of hexagrams can actually be calculated using binary numbers. There are also related relationships between each number, which must be incorporated into the eight directions.

However, the numerological formulas for these sixty-four hexagrams and their connection to the pre-heaven and post-heaven sixty-four hexagrams are top secrets, existing only among royalty and certain Feng Shui masters throughout the ages.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to calculate.

It can be understood as a positional code in the Sixty-Four Heavenly Trigrams, similar to the phonetic code lock of the Western Zhou royal family on the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

The sixty-four-character celestial hexagram is extremely precious; he would not teach it to anyone casually.

It should be noted that Zhang Sanlianzi was able to combine his own knowledge with the sixty-four-character Heavenly Divination manual to create a sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique because he obtained it.

Old Hu in later generations, having only learned a little bit of the feng shui manual, was able to work with his teammates to take down many ominous tombs.

"That's...okay."

"Master Fang, after we leave this tomb, you must do me the honor of coming to my residence for tea."

Qi Tiezui opened his mouth, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he invited Fang Yun to visit him again.

Fang Yun didn't say it directly, but he probably understood.

Fang Yun uses a precious divination technique that cannot be easily passed on.

He was also helpless about this, after all, such were the rules of the trade, and the secrets could not be easily passed on.

Seeing Qi Tiezui's somewhat disappointed look, Fang Yun shook his head and smiled.

The 64-character Heavenly Hexagram is not something you can buy at a street stall.

Even if he were willing to teach, Qi Tiezui might not be able to learn everything.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Lao Hu from later generations.

Old Hu carried a feng shui scroll containing the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique, but in the end he only learned a little bit of it. He relied mostly on luck and partners he could entrust his life to when he was in the world.

However, this ancient tomb does contain the Book of Prime Ministers.

The Xiangzhong Book is far more profound and sophisticated than the Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Technique, and it is his most precious treasure for breaking through the bottleneck of his Feng Shui cultivation.

Once he obtains the Book of Tomb Predictions, he can select some feng shui techniques and divination methods to use in a transaction with Qi Tiezui.

Over generations, the Qi family has accumulated countless treasures!

Chapter 209 Yin and Yang Reverse Each Other, Life and Death as Two Forms!

Half an hour later.

"call..."

A smile appeared on Fang Yun's face as he closed the notebook.

In the past half hour, he led his team through several more tombs.

Although the scenes inside those tombs were all exactly the same, he was able to find patterns by looking at the connecting side passages inside the tomb entrances.

After walking for half an hour, he already knew where the right path was.

This maze has four layers, each of which is a circle composed of tomb chambers.

From the entrance inwards, the numbers are 32, 16, 8, and 8.

There are 64 burial chambers and more than 4,000 passages, including countless branching passages.

It's definitely difficult to walk.

But actually, as long as you choose the four correct entrances and find the four forks in the road, you can reach the final entrance directly.

"Master Fang, have you found the way?"

Upon seeing Fang Yun smile, Qi Tiezui, who had been walking beside Fang Yun, immediately asked.

During the half-hour walk, all the tomb chambers, tomb entrances, and branch passages were exactly the same.

After the trip, he already understood.

This maze is not something an ordinary person can handle.

Even someone as famous as the "Iron-Tongued Fortune Teller," skilled in divination and fortune-telling, couldn't possibly leave.

The people from the Red Mansion were trapped for a month, but some of them eventually returned to the Red Mansion alive.

The person who made it home alive, he escaped this maze... it must have been all luck!

"That's about enough. Come with me, let's go back to the starting point."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun smiled and beckoned everyone to follow.

Since there was no need to take notes anymore, the return journey was quick. In just five minutes, Fang Yun led the team back to the Bagua Pass where they had started.

Then, they went straight into the passage directly in front of them.

Seeing this, the crowd behind them followed closely.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to the Bagua entrance.

They walked out of several identical tomb chambers and passed several identical forks in the road; they had long forgotten how to get back.

Fang Yun only needed a quick glance to find the circuit.

It seems we'll be out of this maze soon.

.............................

Following the circular diagram of the sixty-four hexagrams he had calculated, and going along the yin-yang cycle points, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief after passing through four tomb passages and several side paths.

We've made it out!

At this moment, another tomb chamber appeared before them.

But this tomb chamber before them was different from the Bagua Pass and the Sixty-Four Hexagrams Maze tomb chambers they had passed through before; it was undoubtedly the only way out.

The tomb chamber was shaped like an octagonal symbol, and the inside was empty.

Apart from the ever-burning lamp on the wall, there is only the entrance where Fang Yun is now, and the two stone doors on the wall directly in front of him.

"Out!"

"They're out so quickly!"

"The tomb raiders are truly amazing!"

Upon seeing that the tomb chamber before them was no longer a maze, cheers erupted from the group.
