History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 15: Yin and Yang Yao

Feng Yun not only ate the evening snack, but also didn’t eat the lunch meal. Now he is probably still guarding the deposit. The whole book is?????????.????

Sure enough, when Feng Yun returned to the inner room, Wu Zhengshi gave him the meal that his sister-in-law had sent him at noon.

“Master Yun, you were obsessed with reading at noon, so I didn’t call you. It was only in the afternoon when your concubine came that I called you.”

 Hand the meal to Feng Yun, Feng Yun thanked him.

This warrior was a cold man and continued to patrol with his guards without saying much.

Feng Yun found a low table, lit the lamp oil, and continued to read the last volume. Then he came to the doorrail of the inner and outer rooms, set up a low table, and slowly ate the meal brought by his sister-in-law.

“Uncle Zong is not here today, so no one went into the inner room to get the book, so I was allowed to finish reading these ten bamboo slips.”

Ten bamboo slips, that is, more than 6,000 words.

  But the annotation is only four-sixty-fourths of the "Zhouyi", which are the last four hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Zhouyi.

 Zhongfu hexagram, Xiaoguo hexagram, Jiji hexagram, and Weiji hexagram.

However, the person who wrote this annotation was quite thoughtful and briefly wrote about the Yin and Yang Yao and Bagua theory, so as not to confuse the first reader.

 Look at Feng Yun’s panel again——

Wenqi increased by 5 points because he read the annotations of the four hexagrams of the Book of Changes and gained an understanding of the changes in yin and yang, the evolution of the four images, the order of the eight trigrams, and the divination of the sixty-four hexagrams.

 The other attributes also increased during this period.

 And the Yin and Yang Yao——

“Yin and Yang become four images, and the four images evolve into the Bagua. The Bagua sequence consists of sixty-four hexagrams, one hexagram and one divination, which accommodates all things in the world.”

“This Yin-Yang Yao is the most basic concept in the Book of Changes. The actual is Yang, the empty is Yin, the three Yao are one hexagram, and the three three are each other one hexagram.”

Just like "Fu Gua", the lower kun and the upper qian.

There are three yin lines at the bottom, forming the Kun hexagram, and three yang lines at the top, forming the Qian hexagram, which together form six lines, which is the "No hexagram".

Of course, Feng Yun has only mastered the Yin and Yang Yao initially, and has not yet been able to form a hexagram.

Even though this incomplete "Book of Changes" only contains the last four hexagrams, Feng Yun still has no idea how to study it deeply and obtain the Taoist charm hidden in the text.

"I can only rely on cultivating the Tao. I have too few classics now. I can't see why by relying on my own reading."

After figuring out the current situation, Feng Yun looked at the military warriors and a group of guards patrolling the door, and then stood up.

Wu Zhengshi, who is Zong Bo's bodyguard, naturally has some abilities, and may also be a strange person. With him around, Feng Yun does not have to be alone and helpless.

Zong Bo kept him in the inner room just to cultivate him, but not to really guard against evil spirits.

“Uncle Zong is very kind to me, but my way is different from his. Search xs520.co”

 In this era, master and disciple are one.

  It is not a simple bond that can bind us, but an actual relationship that leads us to walk together.

Feng Yun accepts disciples to give lectures, but he only teaches words, not ideas to guide the future.

 But Uncle Zong is actually leading the way. Although they do not have the name of master and disciple, they have gradually become the actual master and disciple.

 But Zongbo’s learning was actually a courtesy of the scholar-bureaucrat class, but Feng Yun could never forget the common people. The concepts from this world were his personality. If he abandoned them, he would not be who he was.

 “Let’s take a look again, the identity of this stranger will not be revealed for the time being.”

According to the "Book of Changes", Feng Yun does not need to use his identity as a foreigner to obtain some benefits that will temporarily cause trouble.

 He walked into the inner room and picked up the "Rituals".

He has a way of studying "Book of Changes", and the knowledge was given to him in pieces, but he has to learn "Rites" by himself. He is not ready to study "Rites" yet, and now it seems that he is touching the side and answering Zong Bo.

“I’m afraid the content of Da Ting’s ‘Etiquette’ has been revised many times.” Looking at the words on the bamboo slips, Feng Yun frowned more and more.

 In the big court, courtesy is given, but sacrifices are even more important.

  Sacrifice was given to the ancestors of Da Ting, and during the sacrifice, slaves were killed in order to ensure that the slaves could carry the contemporary national history and hand it over to their ancestors after their death.

 “Murder sacrifice…….”

 In the hierarchy of the court, slaves have no status at all, and the best ones are selected for sacrifice...just like livestock.

Feng Yun closed the bamboo slip.

“I remember that this year’s national memorial ceremony in Da Ting is not far away.”

 National sacrifice is also the day when the Dating clan worships their ancestors, and the sacrifices used are the oldest.

                               .

“Sacrifice matters... As a sergeant at the time, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape.”

Feng Yun is still unable to change, and he doesn’t know how to change. At the same time, after entering the ritual system, he must agree with everything stipulated by the ritual system, and he must participate in sacrifices.

“Boom!” There was a knock on the door.

"Yun Zhengshi, this is the bedding you keep for the night." It turned out to be Wu Zhengshi.

"Thank you Wu Zhengshi." Feng Yun took the quilt from Wu Zhengshi's hand.

 But Wu Zhengshi did not leave.

On seeing him, Wu Zhengshi handed over a bronze sword.

This is the second time Feng Yun has seen a sword. The last time was Zongbo's Banjian.

 But the air waves were too strong at the time and Feng Yun could not see clearly.

At this time, when I saw the sword handed over by Wu Zhengshi, I saw it clearly.

 The short sword of the Western Zhou Dynasty was only about thirty centimeters long according to modern size, and was small and close to the body.

 But this is the bronze sword from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

“This sword is called Green Beak. It has a jade hilt and is shaped like a jackdaw. It is an auspicious weapon and is suitable for a gentleman like a righteous scholar.”

Feng Yun thought Uncle Zong had given him something for self-defense, but seeing the reluctance on Wu Zhengshi's face, he hesitated and didn't take it.

Seeing this, Wu Zhengshi felt nervous even though he looked stern.

He gritted his teeth and said with a bit of flattery in his tone: "This is what I got from the battle. It is worth at least a thousand shellfish coins. Now I want to ask your Excellency to help me."

 Speaking, he pushed the sword into Feng Yun's arms.

Feng Yun stopped him and asked quietly: "What's the matter? Wu Zhengshi, just tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help."

“…” Wu Zhengshi was silent for a moment, with an uneasy look on his face.

“I am originally a chivalrous knight with mediocre talents. Only by entering an official career and using the luck of the country to help me can I reverse the fate I have acquired and become an extraordinary person.”

"But without military skills, it is difficult to be a general. I don't want to be a warrior. I want to join the army and take command as a general."

“So, I hope Master Yun can let me have a look at the military book in the future...”

"You want to read the military book in the inner room?" Feng Yun was alert. Without permission, he couldn't make the decision.

 Unexpectedly, there was talk of bribery during the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It is a pity that although the sword is good, Feng Yun is afraid that he will not be able to enjoy it and will be burdened by it.

"Wu Zhengshi had better put away his sword. Why not follow Uncle Zong with peace of mind? This is the best way out."

Hearing what Feng Yun said, Wu Zhengshi looked sad.

"Yun Zhengshi, you don't know that Uncle Zong will not reuse those who have not passed the test."

 He looked deeply into the inner room, holding the sword in his hand very tightly.

Seeing this, Feng Yun reminded him: "Wu Zhengshi, the art of war, can serve the country, instead of using force to violate the prohibition like a chivalrous man."

Wu Zhengshi was in a daze, but he held the sword in his hand tighter.

Feng Yun said again: "We have obtained the art of war, but we have no soldiers. What is the use of it?"

“Whoever steals books, what country would dare to use them?”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                It's hard to open your mouth any more, and you don’t dare to look at the inner room again.

 “I really envy you. You have caught Zongbo’s eyes as a scribe and can still enter the inner chamber.”

 The steps in this inner room blocked the two of them.

Wu Zhengshi put away his sword and was about to leave.

Dan paused, turned around and said to Feng Yun: "Uncle Zong regards the clan as his destiny, and you and I are all raised by him to protect the majesty of the clan... Becoming a stranger is your first test."

“…I hope you won’t be like me, becoming a stranger under Uncle Zong, but with mediocre talents.”

 Aliens have talents, but it seems that this warrior's talents are not outstanding.

Feng Yun looked at Wu Zhengshi leaving under the moonlight, shook his head slightly and said: "Becoming a different person is one hurdle, getting talent is another hurdle, and the road after that is another hurdle, and the hurdles are constant. This is cultivation, and it is also a hurdle.

Life."

 Fortunately, Feng Yun’s alien talent is extremely high.

 With the art of cultivating the Tao, he had the confidence to rise in the era of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
