Chapter 443 The mystery of the hexagram
After all, Zhao Yu had been working in criminal investigation for such a long time. When he discovered a large number of numerical symbols in the book, he studied it for a while and soon saw some tricks.
First, he searched online and found that this symbol was a phonetic symbol from the Republic of China period, or it can be said to be the Chinese pinyin of the Republic of China period. It is said online that since Mandarin was not promoted at that time, the Chinese pinyin at that time was not like this, but consisted of 40 symbols that looked like Latin letters.
Next, Zhao Yu took out a previous hexagram text for comparison, and then followed this pronunciation method and quickly found a matching pronunciation symbol.
Since this is a pinyin, we only care about the correct pronunciation in the hexagram text, and do not need the exact meaning of the characters.
There is a corresponding Arabic numeral in front of each symbol, and these numbers are not arranged in order of size. Some are one or two digits, while others are three or four digits, which is completely unruly.
When Zhao Yu found the corresponding symbol based on the hexagram text, he suddenly got a large string of numbers.
strangeness!?
Zhao Yu frowned, not understanding what the string of numbers meant. With a strong curiosity, he looked back again, but unfortunately, behind him was the part of the ancient book soaked in water, and many things could not be seen clearly.
Zhao Yu just saw a painting from the front page. The artwork was painted with a big "Ten" character, with the center of the cross as the center, and then a big circle was drawn. The circle was evenly divided into many parts, and some symbols and numbers were mixed in between.
Although this picture is seriously damaged, Zhao Yu can still see a rough idea. At first glance, it seems to be an ordinary math problem on the test paper. However, through careful research and analysis, combined with the numbers obtained before, Zhao Yu finally understood the mystery!
Wow!?
Seeing this result, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be even more excited. He quickly took out a cigarette and made another divination. In order not to wake up Miao Ying, he even covered himself with a quilt.
After coughing in the quilt, the new hexagram suddenly opened:
"Dui Zhen Gua, Dui Ze Zhen Thunder. The swamp is turbid and not plague. It produces elegant blue belts, and it is sank and calm."
Zhao Yu quickly recorded this group of hexagram texts on paper, and then began to analyze the hexagrams according to the latest discoveries.
First, he marked all the words according to the pinyin method of the Republic of China in the book.
Unexpectedly, the first two sentences "Dui Zhen Gua" and "Dui Ze Zhen Lei" correspond to "0". Although there is no clear explanation in the book, Zhao Yu feels that these two sentences should be the names and beginnings of the hexagram text. Since they are expressed as "0", it means that it is mostly meaningless.
So he put the two sentences aside and focused on studying the 16-character hexagram text behind. The 16 characters were divided into four groups evenly. After comparison, the corresponding Arabic numerals appeared in each group.
Let’s first look at the first group of “Swamp Yin Lei”. After comparison, these four words show 1507; “Turn Qi is not plague” corresponds to 8927; “Sheng Ya Blue Belt” is 0013; “Yuyi is sunken and sunken” is 2109.
1507,8927,0013,2109.
When these four sets of numbers that seemed meaningless at first glance were presented to them, Zhao Yu had already made some conspiracy in his mind, and seemed to have already seen through the mystery.
He immediately took the artwork behind to compare it. Finally, after his careful study, he explained the meaning of this string of numbers in just half an hour.
Unexpectedly, the meaning of this string of numbers was exactly the same as some of his previous conjectures.
First, look at the first set of numbers 1507. A long time ago, Zhao Yu had thought about whether there would be a certain direction in those obscure hexagrams? Because, after all, it is an adventure system. Since an adventure is about to happen, there must be a position and direction, right?
Now it seems that this speculation is very likely to be valid.
It turned out that Zhao Yu found the most direct direction information on that cross chart: if the cross is regarded as a direction map of up, north, south, south, west, right and east, then the series of numbers behind it and the lines drawn on the cross will all have meaning.
The cross diagram is centered on the center of the cross, and a diagonal line is drawn every 10 degrees, which just draws 36 lines to the orientation map. These 36 lines undoubtedly represent 360 degrees, and each 10 degrees corresponds to a direction!
For example, if you look for the 1507 in front of you according to the orientation map, the 15th line indicates the southeast direction, and the 07 behind you divides every 10 degrees into 10 parts, and 07 represents one of them, so that the direction indicated can be more accurate.
Once the direction is clear, Zhao Yu can guess that the next set of numbers must indicate distance!
8927. If such a number represents distance, its unit cannot be kilometers or centimeters. Only by using meters to explain it is the most reasonable. In other words, starting from the location where he opened the hexagram, 8927 meters east to the south is where the adventure is about to happen!
Although Zhao Yu also considered that in ancient China, he might use "zero" or other distance units, but now he has no intention of converting or searching, and he quickly looks at the next set of numbers.
If he follows his inference, the direction and distance, it will inevitably be time! Since you are going to encounter an adventure, the element of time is essential.
However, the third set of numbers is 0013, which makes Zhao Yu difficult to guess. Because, if it were time, it would be 0:13 in the morning and it is already 3:00 in the middle of the night. Doesn’t that mean that the adventure has passed?
Moreover, Zhao Yu only opened the hexagram at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night. It's impossible that the adventure has already happened, right? So, either 0013 refers to 0:13 am the next day, or 0013 indicates not the time at all!
So...it's not time, what else can it be?
Is it...space?
Oh...0013, does it mean 13 meters in height? Will it? But if the adventure happened in an underground parking lot or something, wouldn't it be a negative number?
Negative number...negative number...
Zhao Yu checked the corresponding figure of the symbols but found no negative numbers. They were all Arabic numerals.
With uncertain doubts, Zhao Yu turned his attention to the fourth set of numbers again.
2109!
Well... When Zhao Yu saw this number, the first thing he thought of was, if this number represents time, would it be more reasonable?
2109 is 9:09 pm!?
Tsk tsk...
Although Zhao Yu felt that he might have already solved the meaning of the hexagram, after seeing the time in front of him, he inevitably felt a little suspicious again.
Not right?
The Ghost Guard comes from ancient China. In ancient China, twelve hours were used to calculate time. For example, Chou, Shen, Wu and You, could such avant-garde 24-hour timing method be used?
Also, will the unit of distance be meters? If 0013 represents height, will the height be used as units?
Doesn't this sound a bit irritating?
Could it be that Gui Gong Gossip can predict the future thousands of years ago?
Or maybe this ghost guy gossip and the adventure system in his mind were not created by humans at all?
Zhao Yu is shrewd. He knows that if he continues to think about this idea endlessly, he will undoubtedly get into a stubborn and will never come up with any results.
So, as a police detective, Zhao Yu quickly adjusted his thinking and worked hard to understand his ideological work!
yes!
