14: Chapter 14: One day, the golden rooster crowed, and the sun had already set over the vast, silent sea.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu covered her mouth in shock.

She originally thought it was a prophecy about pirates at the end of the Ming Dynasty and beginning of the Qing Dynasty; she never expected it to actually be about the Pacific War.

How could this be?

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"This is too exaggerated. Li Chunfeng was an ancient person; no matter how divine he was, it's impossible for him to predict the Pacific War!"

"To the person above, nothing is impossible. That's exactly how it's recorded in the tui bei tu!"

"..."

For the 21st-century netizens, this was simply too heaven-defying, to the point that most netizens dared not believe it.

"Jiang Xiaoyu, you think it's impossible?" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, not refuting, but pointed his index finger at the second sentence on the tui bei tu, "Don't be in such a hurry, look at the second sentence —"

"In the southern mountains there is a sparrow, in the northern mountains there is a net; you should know whether it's possible!"

"[Sparrow], Jiang Xiaoyu, what do you think it is?"

Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a moment. A sparrow?

When she suddenly caught a glimpse of the instant coffee Jiang Zhe was drinking, her brain glitched: "Nescafe?"

"Does your Tang Dynasty home have coffee?" Jiang Zhe glared fiercely at Jiang Xiaoyu.

Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly covered her face in shame, "I said it too fast, is it a sparrow?"

The netizens in the livestream, whose expressions were just serious, couldn't hold back anymore.

Inside the dormitory.

Teacher Wang, who was teaching Jiang Xiaoyu, embarrassedly covered his face.

Beside him, Teacher Wu and Teacher Zhao were also holding back their laughter.

"It's not a sparrow!" Jiang Zhe took a deep breath, "The [sparrow] here is the [Vermilion Bird]. In our country's traditional Feng Shui, [Vermilion Bird] represents the [South]."

"And [net] represents a [trap] or [encirclement]."

He picked up a marker and drew a sketch on a draft paper.

"Therefore, [in the southern mountains there is a sparrow]... no, it's [in the southern mountains there is a sparrow] refers to the southern Pacific battlefield, where there is a [sparrow] belonging only to Japan, and the fate of this [sparrow] is [in the northern mountains there is a net] — meaning someone laid a [heavenly net] for this Japanese [sparrow]."

"Now take a guess, who is this [sparrow]?" Jiang Zhe looked towards the south, as if he had seen the moment Yamamoto Isoroku was shot down with his own eyes!

Jiang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, "I don't know, I can't guess it!"

He didn't make things too difficult for Jiang Xiaoyu; people who don't understand history have absolutely no idea who this sparrow is!

"Of course it is Yamamoto 28 times 2, Yamamoto Isoroku, the naval commander; he is the soul figure who planned the sneak attack on the USA's Pearl Harbor!"

"And the [net] aimed at him was in the north of Japan — on the morning of April 18, 1943, 18 US military P-38 [Lightning] fighter planes roared into the sky from the Guadalcanal airport, flying towards the sky above Bougainville Island;"

"They were going to execute the longest-range aerial interception mission in World War II — to snipe Yamamoto Isoroku!"

"Fortunately, the US military's efforts paid off, and they shot down the plane of Yamamoto 28 times 2."

"Was this US military aerial interception of Yamamoto the [net in the northern mountains] for Yamamoto?"

"Wait!" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned, looking at the prophecy with disbelief, "Just these two sentences, and they contain so many things?"

"Location, person, time, and event were all accurately predicted?"

Watching Jiang Xiaoyu's shocked expression as her worldview was impacted, Jiang Zhe smiled and patted Jiang Xiaoyu's head.

"Is this unbelievable?"

"How can the profoundness of traditional Chinese culture be deciphered by just these few sentences!"

"And do you really think the [tui bei tu] is just Li Chunfeng's [prophecy]? Isn't it a summary of the [revelations] brought by the future scenes Li Chunfeng saw?"

"Hiss~~" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes trembled, feeling it was incredible.

"Have you ever heard of... [Cosmic Consciousness Network]?"

"No." Jiang Xiaoyu gasped, "Sounds very sci-fi!"

"No, it's not really sci-fi. When I have time later, Xiaoyu's brother will tell you about it!"

Hearing this, after a brief silence, the netizens in the livestream exploded!

"I'm kneeling, it completely matches this major Pacific event!"

"Damn it, how can his logic be like this? I can't find any point to refute!"

"Mom, it turns out traditional Chinese culture is really profound!"

"Damn, if the history teacher explained it like this handsome guy, would my history still be failing?"

...

Gusu First High School, inside the dormitory building.

The three teachers watching the projection were shocked with their mouths wide open.

"Holy cow!" Teacher Wu, who was over fifty years old, opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time!

His previous interpretation of the [Wokou Rebellion], in front of Jiang Zhe's perfect logic regarding [Pacific, Yamamoto Isoroku], was not worth mentioning!

Damn it, it couldn't be compared at all!

"This must be the correct answer, right?"

Teacher Wu pointed at Jiang Zhe on the screen with a look of astonishment.

"Time, location, event; person, Pearl Harbor — solar calendar December, it is exactly [mid-December]!"

Beside him, Teacher Zhao suddenly grabbed Teacher Wu's arm and said excitedly:

"Vermilion Bird is the [South], the net is the [ambush] — Yamamoto's ending, the dense forest area above the death location, Bougainville Island."

"Every location and person seems like a coincidence!"

"But when connected, it's like..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Operator Wang beside him said with a solemn expression:

"It's like Li Chunfeng really saw this scene from a bird's-eye view, and because he didn't understand it, he finally recorded it in language!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Teacher Zhao nodded slowly like an old chicken pecking at rice.

"And, if this interpretation by Jiang Zhe is correct, the understanding of [tui bei tu] by all practitioners in our history industry is wrong!"

"The tui bei tu is not an ordinary book of traditional Chinese culture, it is that ancient masters witnessed [revelations] and saw scenes of the future!"

The three of them looked at each other, their expressions very solemn.

In Taoism, Buddhism, and even various sects — soul traveling outside the sky!

That's not just talk, and it's not something that can be explained by so-called hallucinations and the world of consciousness, but that one can really travel across the barriers of the world!

...

Dougu Operations Headquarters, inside the office hall.

Beside Operator Wang, several operators had gathered at some point, listening with fascination, having long ignored the traffic in the background.

"Damn, is this a gimmick or is it really happening?" An operator who was young felt his scalp tingling, "A Tang Dynasty person predicted the Pacific War?"

"If it's a gimmick, I can only say he is a born livestreaming genius; if it's true... then what is the meaning of our materialistic view?"

"Hey, don't think so much, watch it, maybe someone will refute it in a while!"

Supervisor Liu, who was passing by, couldn't help but look curiously. Jiang Zhe was indeed telling it very well, but, I don't like to watch it!

"However, Xiaoyu's brother is indeed awesome, worth recommending!" He nodded in approval.

...

Inside the living room.

The warm sun outside the window made people sleepy.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyu was still in huge shock, Jiang Zhe took a sip of sugar-free drink, waited for her to digest it, and then spoke slowly:

"The first half of the sentence is Li Chunfeng predicting the time, location, and person of the Pacific War."

"Next, the second half of the sentence: [Once the golden rooster crows, the deep sea settles as the sun sets], directly decrypts the final outcome of this catastrophe!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, her eyes locked on Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe pursed his lips and reminded, "How did this Pacific War end?"

"Surrender, Japan's unconditional surrender!"

"Exactly right!" Jiang Zhe nodded with appreciation, "And Japan's surrender time was: 1945, which was the Lunar Year of Yiyou: the Year of the Rooster!"

"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoyu instantly widened her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "Golden rooster crows, my god, it's the Year of the Rooster!"

"Of course... that's right!"

Jiang Zhe said with certainty:

"[Once the golden rooster crows], it means hearing the [golden rooster crow] in the Year of the Rooster, 1945 — the [cluck-cluck] of the final failure of Japanese fascism by countries around the world ——"

"According to the publication of the [Potsdam Declaration] following the Pacific War, and the deterrence of two mushroom eggs, it was ultimately the reason for Japan's unconditional surrender!"

"The last sentence [the deep sea settles as the sun sets],"

Jiang Zhe took a deep breath and explained slowly:

"The word [sun] is a double entendre, referring to the sun in the sky, and also to [Japan: Land of the Rising Sun]."

"It means the [glorious] era belonging to Japan has come to an end;"

"The Pacific, once shrouded by fascism, finally ushered in a settlement and restored everything; the Japanese imperial dream is shattered here!"

Telling this, Jiang Zhe recalled and summarized,

"So, this 39th image directly and accurately predicts the sequence of the Pacific War in World War II, the descent into hell of Japan's key Yamamoto 28 times 2, and finally Japan's surrender and defeat in the Year of the Rooster!"

"Of course, besides this, the 39th hexagram has a second explanation that makes people unable to refute!"
