"These nine passes are related to the Jiuzhou Qi?" Wu Dongfang asked puzzledly. He only had a rough understanding of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, and knew very little about the Nine Palaces and Bagua.
"It is very possible that when Yu established the Nine Provinces, he referred to the nine-gong pattern, with Yuzhou as the central palace, one prefecture each in the southeast, northwest, and one prefecture each in the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest. These four directions correspond to Qian Palace, Kan Palace, and Gen Palace respectively. Palace, Zhen Palace, Xun Palace, Li Palace, Kun Palace and Dui Palace, the Nine Palaces are eternal and unchanging numbers, like Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, they are all eternal changes," Fei Xuan said.
"I don't understand." Wu Dongfang smiled.
"Listen to me and tell you in detail." Fei Xuan dipped his fingers in water and began to paint.
"Don't tell me in detail. I'm too lazy to study these things. Just tell me the results directly." Wu Dongfang said.
Fei Xuan continued to paint, first drew a square frame, and then drew the word "well" inside, dividing it into nine equal-sized areas. Then he pointed to the middle square and said, "This is the middle palace. The corresponding one is Yuzhou…”
"I'll tell you the truth, I know nothing about this and I'm not ready to learn. You just need to understand. You don't have to ask me to understand." Wu Dongfang interrupted Fei Xuan's gestures.
"Okay." Fei Xuan nodded helplessly, thought for a moment and said, "The world is in a nine-gong pattern, and Lingshan is also a nine-gong pattern, and the location of Lingshan happens to be the leading part of the dragon vein, and the eight passes surrounding it are in line with the nine-gong pattern. Completely corresponding, I suspect that the nine passes in Lingshan are related to the Kyushu Qi."
"If it is really related, if we kill four of the monsters, what impact will it have on Kyushu?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"It's hard to tell what the specific impact will be." After Fei Xuan finished speaking, he thought that Wu Dongfang would not be satisfied after hearing this, so he continued, "Changes in Qi may cause good results, or they may cause bad results. The current problem is that we don’t know whether it is the pass itself or something in the pass that affects the Qi of Kyushu. If it is the pass itself, then these monsters are stealing the spiritual land, and there is no harm in killing them. If it is the monsters in the pass that affect the Qi, these Once the monster dies, it is likely to cause the destruction of Kyushu.”
"Destroyed?" Wu Dongfang frowned slightly.
Fei Xuan nodded, "Yes, but according to Fu Ji Tai's laws, destruction also means reconstruction."
"It doesn't make much sense for us to study this. We came here this time to find the soul of the Jin tribe's deceased holy shaman through the underworld." Wu Dongfang turned around and wanted to leave. Fei Xuan and Ming Zhan had a similar temperament. They both liked to do things. In-depth and detailed research, but he has no interest in these boring things.
"It makes sense," Fei Xuan said seriously. "By studying the Nine Palaces, we can determine which pass the monsters we killed belong to. We can also deduce what kind of five environments and five types of environments we will face next. Just some kind of monster."
"No need to ask, it must be from the first four levels." Wu Dongfang yawned.
Ordinary people would ask someone to go back to rest if they saw someone yawning. However, Fei Xuan did not let him go, but explained in detail, "I don't know, the four monsters were metal, wood, water and fire, and they are related to each other." The corresponding one is..."
"Wait a minute, I'll call them both over." Wu Dongfang interrupted Fei Xuan. He had deliberately yawned earlier, but Fei Xuan didn't let him go. It took two people to do such a boring thing. A back supporter.
After calling Xun Shuang and Xin Tong over, Fei Xuan first explored the topic, and then continued, "The four monsters we killed were of the four attributes of metal, wood, water and fire, and Li is the five elements of fire. The red-feathered giant eagle must have come from the Li Palace. Since Kan is the Five Elements Water, the Pig Woman Dragon must have come from the Kan Palace. Due to the Five Elements Gold, the white leopard that can transform into a clone is probably from the Dui Palace or the Qian Palace... "
"Why do the giant eagle and the strange dragon have a certain origin, but not the white leopard?" Wu Dongfang interrupted Fei Xuan.
Xin Tong on the side said, "The first house of Kan belongs to water, the second house of Kun belongs to earth, the third house of Zhen belongs to wood, the fourth house of Xun belongs to wood, the fifth house of middle house belongs to earth, the sixth house of Qian belongs to gold, and the seventh house of Dui belongs to gold. The eighth palace of Gen belongs to earth, and the ninth palace of Li belongs to fire. The ninth palace is divided into three earths, two wood, two metals, one water and one fire. There is only one Kan palace and Li palace, so it can be determined."
Wu Dongfang nodded and did not ask again. This question was obvious. As a holy wizard of the Jin clan, he should not know this, but he just didn't know.
There were some things he really didn't like, including the complicated Nine Palaces. Fei Xuan spoke while Xin Tong and Xun Shuang listened, while he dozed off aside.
He dozed off, but he didn't fall asleep. He listened more or less. What Fei Xuan meant was that one of the metal, wood, water and fire died earlier. Theoretically, there are three earth monsters and one wood monster left. and a metal monster.
The location of these monsters can also be roughly inferred. In the later stage, Xin Tong and Xun Shuang also participated in the inference. The three of them expressed their own opinions and tried to deduce the results.
Wu Dongfang didn't understand these things. If he didn't understand, he couldn't participate in the research. He could only think about some simple questions, "The monsters before were not from the first four passes. Are these nine passes connected to each other, or are each pass different?" Is there a separate exit?”
"They are connected to each other, and there is only one exit." Fei Xuan said.
"Does this mean that if the monster inside wants to come out, it must pass through someone else's territory?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"That should be the case." Fei Xuan nodded.
Wu Dongfang added, "The prince once said that the first pass is the Ruoshui River, and the second pass is the Flame Mountain. According to the grid you drew, water and fire are one south and one north, and water and fire are separated by three passes. Pass, how can you jump directly from Water Pass to Fire Pass?"
Fei Xuan fell silent, and Xun Shuang and Xin Tong also frowned and said nothing. The three of them were studying complex problems, but they ignored some simple clues.
"I suspect that the middle grid can connect to the other eight grids. No matter which grid it is, you can enter another grid through the middle grid." Wu Dongfang said.
"This is not called grid, it's called palace." Fei Xuan corrected him.
"Okay, let's just go to the palace. I don't know much about this. Come and study it." Wu Dongfang said.
The three of them nodded, but none of them spoke for a while. It was obvious that they were stumped by this problem.
"Don't be anxious when things happen. Urgency will overcome chaos. Don't be anxious. Think slowly. You must think clearly about all aspects. You can't rush in recklessly." Wu Dongfang said. He originally wanted to delay time, but this is a good way to delay time. Chance, looking at the posture of the three of them, they won't be able to figure it out for a while.
The three of them didn't know what he was thinking. They thought he was mature and steady, so they all nodded after hearing what he said.
"Let's make do with staying here tonight, and find another place to live tomorrow." Wu Dongfang said.
"Okay, it's getting late. You three should rest early." Fei Xuan said.
"Why rest? I've been hungry all day and haven't eaten yet. I'll sleep after eating." Wu Dongfang took out food and drinks from his Qiankun bag.
There is a lot of food in his Qiankun bag, and there is no need to limit the food.
Drinking was more common in the upper class society at this time. Fei Xuan was a drinker, Xunshuang had a good drinker, and Xin Tong could also drink some. After drinking, the atmosphere became less serious. Wu Dongfang changed the topic, "You guys What do you think of the Tu people?”
"Brother Wu, are you determined to bring order to things?" Fei Xuan asked with a smile.
"Yes. The Yun clan is in power now. I want to overthrow them and return power to Si Shaokang. What do you think?" Wu Dongfang said. In current terms, these three guys are all highly intelligent people. Instead of beating around the bush, it's better to go straight.
"This is a righteous act, and it should be done." Fei Xuan was the first to express his position, "But if we raise an army, thousands of civilians will be the first to suffer."
Wu Dongfang nodded. Fei Xuan was an angry young man. He was worried about the country and the people, but he was also afraid of the suffering of the people. No one would die in a war. If you want to do big things, you will definitely have to pay a price.
"What benefit do we have from helping him regain the throne?" Xun Shuang asked.
"What benefits do you want?" Wu Dongfang smiled. Xun Shuang was not afraid of fighting, but was afraid that the fight would be worthless.
"No taxes, no taxes, no tribute, no servitude." Xun Shuang said sternly, and at the end he added, "Eternal exemption."
"It should be so." Wu Dongfang nodded again, Xun Shuang's request was very reasonable.
After nodding, Wu Dongfang looked at Xin Tong again, and Xin Tong said with a smile, "Only Brother Wu is following his lead."
Wu Dong wanted to laugh but couldn't. There was something wrong with Xin Tong's attitude. This was a major matter related to the safety of the ethnic group. She actually obeyed him without thinking. The most important thing was that this little thing refused to change. call.
After drinking and thinking for a while, Wu Dongfang said, "Even if there is a war, it will only be within the wizards. If the army and civilians are not involved, there will not be too many casualties. I do have the intention to bring order to the chaos, but I am not for gold." He will not take revenge on his family, let alone take his place..."
Fei Xuan interrupted Wu Dongfang, "If Brother Wu really wanted to replace him, he would not have risked his life to protect Si Shaokang back then. The wizards of the Jin tribe sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and everyone in the world admires them. If the army and civilians are not involved, there will not be too many casualties. The plan is feasible.”
"After this battle, the wizards of the five races will probably decline." Xun Shuang said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. The current wizard system is very fragile. Most of them are related by blood. If both sides start a war, they will inevitably suffer casualties. If some of the few wizards die, the remaining ones will not be able to pair up and reproduce. .
After dinner, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The three of them went back to their rooms. Wu Dongfang lay on the bed and closed his eyes to think. The attitude of Fei Xuan and others gave him confidence. Dealing with the Tu tribe did not require a long confrontation. In the battle with Zheng, the winner can be determined within a month after coming out of the mountain. At this time, the mirage can already spy on and influence anyone it wants to influence. As soon as the three of them come out of the mountain, they will immediately face the risk of being spied on and influenced. It won't work if you don't take action.
There are currently two things that can increase the chance of winning, one is to retrieve the Jin clan's holy skills, and the other is to grab Xing Tian's head.
In the early morning of the next day, Fei Xuan urged the three of them to leave as soon as possible. He thought for a whole night and couldn't figure out why he could go directly from Kan Palace to Li Palace. Talking on paper would not work after all. He had to go to the outskirts of Lingshan to see the terrain there with his own eyes...
