98: Chapter 98 Books that have never appeared in history
Immediately, Professor Zhou contacted Professor Yang in the tomb, ordering him to make sure to transcribe the content on the stone tablet word for word, treating it as valuable historical data.
Even Professor Zhou himself did not notice that his face had flushed red with excitement from discovering this piece of Feng Shui theory.
Upon receiving the order, Professor Yang excitedly hurried to call over the members of the Archaeological Team, meticulously transcribing the content on the stone tablet with the utmost care.
In fact, this was not because the experts were superstitious.
Rather, it was because in their years of work, they had truly witnessed the power of Feng Shui theories and fortune-telling.
Therefore, many archaeologists deeply believed in such so-called "superstitions" as Feng Shui and fortune-telling.
Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room, watching this scene, could not help but frantically spam the chat.
For a moment, the entire Live Stream Room became incredibly lively.
"Ah, this... is what is carved on the stone tablet related to Feng Shui?"
"Damn! I want to learn that too! After learning it, I can go find big tombs myself!"
"The guy above, your motives are impure! Do you want to be like Ye Dao and become a grave robber too?"
"I want to say, these things shouldn't be trusted, right? Aren't they all ancient superstitions?"
"The guy above, you're wrong to say that! Think about the Bagua Array from just now, and that Ancient Corpse! Think about it carefully!"
"Exactly, look at how excited Professor Zhou and the others are; does that look like superstition to you?"
Command Headquarters
Seminar Hall
After Ye Xiao learned that what was carved on the stone tablet was text related to astrology and fortune-telling, he became extremely interested.
He immediately came to Professor Zhou's side, watching the professors present interpret the content on the stone tablet.
When the many professors saw it was Ye Xiao, their expressions all turned strange.
In their view, many great tomb-robbing experts, especially those from inherited noble families, all possessed unique Feng Shui and fortune-telling methods.
They were extremely proficient in the arts of geomancy.
Now that Ye Xiao had come to view the content on the stone tablet, could it be that he was also interested in astrology and fortune-telling?
For a moment, the experts present could not help but feel puzzled.
However, Professor Zhou did not think that much.
Having just interpreted one sentence from the stone tablet, he excitedly called Ye Xiao over.
"Little Ye! Come quickly and take a look, what does this sentence mean?"
As he spoke, Professor Zhou handed the paper in his hand to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked closely; on this piece of paper, only one sentence was written.
"Combining Pre-Heaven Zhen Nine Li Four, forming one qi!"
Looking at this sentence, Professor Zhou immediately fell into deep thought.
In his old age, while idling at home, he would often consult texts like the I Ching and the Zhou Yi, studying the methods of fortune-telling and geomancy.
However, he could never figure out the clues in this sentence.
"Combining Pre-Heaven... I recall it should refer to the proper match of Pre-Heaven husband and wife; doesn't it seem a bit nonsensical here?"
Professor Zhou murmured, seemingly talking to himself.
Among the content he was familiar with, this was the meaning of "Combining Pre-Heaven."
But placed in this whole sentence, it obviously felt like nonsense, just like a street fortune-teller mixing together a bunch of incomprehensible terms.
It left people confused.
At this moment, this was exactly how Professor Zhou felt.
Turning, he looked at Ye Xiao to the side, only to find that Ye Xiao was also slightly frowning, staring at the sentence and pondering.
Professor Zhou did not dare to disturb Ye Xiao, quietly waiting for him to finish thinking.
At this time, the other experts in the hall also put down their pens, all staring at Ye Xiao with great interest.
They wanted to see how Ye Xiao would explain this passage.
A moment later, Ye Xiao's brows slightly relaxed, and he finally spoke to explain:
"Your method is not wrong; this sentence indeed needs to be broken down to be understood, but your interpretation does have some discrepancies!"
"What this sentence describes is the Pre-Heaven Bagua! But the method you used to interpret it is the Post-Heaven Bagua! That is why you naturally cannot understand the meaning of this sentence!"
"Including the Bagua Array from just now, it was also derived from the Pre-Heaven Bagua! The Post-Heaven Bagua has undergone changes and has become quite different from the Pre-Heaven Bagua, which is why there are some differences!"
As he spoke, Ye Xiao slowly turned his gaze to the large screen in the center, looking at the stone tablet standing quietly in the distance, and spoke again:
"Combining Pre-Heaven, the so-called meaning of Pre-Heaven refers to the hexagram qi!"
"And the movement of Yang Nine starts at Zhen, the stillness of Yin Eight starts at Li; the meaning of these three characters is that in this place, Yang energy is at its peak, while Yin energy is weak."
"As for the character 'Four', it must be interpreted separately; it refers to the fourth hexagram among the hexagram images, symbolizing mountains and water!"
"As for the meaning of forming one qi, I probably don't need to explain it too much!"
"The meaning of the whole hexagram phrase is that this place is a blessed land, capable of connecting to heavenly essence above and earthly qi below! With Yang flourishing and Yin declining, it is suitable for founding a sect!"
Ye Xiao paused, then added again:
"It's just that such places are rare, usually deep in the mountains and rivers, which is why many Taoist masters choose to establish their temples and sects in the mountains!"
After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the Seminar Hall was completely silent.
Obviously, they did not know that this short sentence could actually reveal the mysteries of a corner of the land.
Upon recovering, many experts steadied their minds and silently memorized this sentence.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was somewhat silent.
Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room suddenly became somewhat boisterous.
In an instant, the chat instantly flooded the entire Live Stream Room screen.
"As expected of Ye Dao! So knowledgeable about Feng Shui and fortune-telling?"
"An expert from the very first word! Hahaha! Ye Dao must do a lot of Feng Shui and geomancy work normally, right?"
"Why do I feel... it seems a bit strange! Why does it feel like Ye Dao has become a teacher, and Professor Zhou and the others are the students!"
"Good heavens, this... Ye Dao is really instructing Professor Zhou and the others this time! This is completely the feeling of a teacher instructing students!"
"An old mentor from the very first word! Professor Zhou, you guys are supposed to be the professors, right? Why does it feel like the roles have been reversed!"
Seeing this, Professor Zhou coughed lightly, signaling Bingbing on the hosting stage to turn off the chat.
Bingbing also obediently turned off the chat immediately.
Subsequently, Professor Zhou and the other experts all coughed lightly, pretending to be nonchalant as they began to interpret the content on the stone tablet again.
Interpreting to the end, Professor Zhou suddenly asked in confusion:
"The content carved on this stone tablet seems to be from a book called 'astronomy book'!"
As he spoke, Professor Zhou rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
The rest of the experts also fell into thought one after another.
After a while, they came back to their senses and all discussed one after another:
"This book... seems to have no records!"
"I haven't heard of it either; this book probably never appeared in history!"
"Then who... exactly wrote this book and carved it here?"
