Zhang Jiuyi smiled and said: "I haven't read your books in vain these days, but the interpretation is a bit one-sided. Water and Fire Jiji is also called the Water and Fire Jiji Gua. In the Book of Changes, it means the fusion of water and fire. It can be understood as water and fire.

Help each other, water is strong and fire is weak, or water is weak and fire is strong."

"How can we not just look at the hexagrams? This time I am taking the ancient city of Jingjue as the object of divination. The ancient city belongs to the earth, and there are underground rivers underground. There should be water under the earth, so why not?"

Chen Yulou hesitated when asked, but he also knew that Zhang Jiuyi was teaching him the method of divination.

Zhang Jiuyi took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "Actually, I can't figure it out either. You have to know that not all hexagrams have answers. Divination comes from God's will and let nature take its course. If you don't have the answer in your heart, then don't

Forced."

Chen Yulou nodded as if he had some understanding.

Zhang Jiuyi finally sighed and said: "Actually, I guess that Jingjue Ancient City is similar to Muchen Bead. It is hidden by the heavens and cannot calculate much, so that hexagram is neither fish nor fowl."

"I warn you to be careful because it is not easy to find places that have been hidden by the secrets of heaven throughout the ages."

......

A peaceful night.

The next day, a ray of sunshine rose from the eastern horizon, reflecting half of the clouds red, and the rising sand dunes in the desert in the distance were covered with a layer of glow.

The corrugated yellow sand is reflected in golden red, and the rich colors form a magnificent picture between heaven and earth.

However, Ye Bai and others were not shocked by this beauty. Instead, they frowned and hurriedly packed the tent.

"The black storm is coming, everyone quickly find a shelter." The guide Karama shouted anxiously.

This is the fifth day that everyone has entered the desert. According to the records on the map and what Karama said, there are the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye ahead.

Everyone wants to rush to the ancient city and use the ruins to escape the black storm.

The camels seemed to feel the danger signal coming from the sky. Under the urging of Ye Bai and others, they threw away their four big hooves and ran wildly in the desert like crazy.

Normally, it's fun to sit on a camel and walk in the desert, but once it starts running, it gets very bumpy.

Jin Abacus was thrown off the camel several times.

Ye Bai had no choice but to ride on a camel with the golden abacus and fell behind.

The wind became stronger and stronger, black shadows began to appear on the distant horizon, and the sun became much dimmer.

The running camel caravan is speeding through the desert, and the rising yellow sand rolls up a giant yellow dragon.

Chen Yulou and Qi Xiaohei, who were driving in front, noticed something was wrong. Karama, who was riding a camel, lost control and seemed to be running around with the camel team.

"Xiao Hei!" Chen Yulou shouted.

Upon receiving the order, Qi Xiaohei immediately jumped off the camel, jumped on the first camel in two or two steps, held down the restless first camel, and controlled the direction.

We ran for two hours. Even though the camels were good at walking, they were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

The big camel carrying Ye Bai and Jin Abacus was even more tired.

Everyone took a brief rest, replenished water, and after confirming that the direction was correct, they continued to climb on the camels.

But at this time, the wind suddenly calmed down and the sky turned yellow and dark.

Karama was very experienced and said quickly: "This is a sign of the coming of the trade wind. Let's go quickly. We can't delay."

Ye Bai shouted from behind: "How far is it?"

Chen Yulou replied: "I don't know, the map just says it's in this area."

Ye Bai was anxious in his heart. When he looked up, the sky that was bright just now suddenly became much darker.

The wind came quickly, carrying fine sand and blowing against my face.

Everyone was shrouded in the overwhelming fine sand, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

Ye Bai asked Jin Abacus to grab the saddle, and after getting off the camel, he stepped on the sand and performed the Golden Wild Goose Kung Fu to fly into the air more than ten meters high.

A collapsed wall can barely be seen in the black sand.

"Xiao Hei, southeast, eight hundred meters away!"

Qi Xiaohei drove a camel and hurriedly headed in the direction Ye Bai said.

The other camels quickly followed, but Ye Bai hung at the back, fearing that someone would be left behind.

Fortunately, except for Jin Abacus, the people who came this time were not ordinary people.

Even though the camel is extremely bumpy, the body is stable and sits tightly on the camel's back.

Everyone quickly came to the wall that Ye Bai saw. It turned out that it was a broken city wall. Most of the nearby buildings were half buried by yellow sand, and some houses had collapsed.

"This is Xiye Ancient City?" Chen Yulou was disappointed. How could this place avoid the storm?

The partridge whistled: "Perhaps it was once, after being desolate for so long, even a real city was buried. We have enough food, and it will be fine even if it is buried in the yellow sand. Sooner or later it will be dug out."

Chen Yulou nodded and spread out with the others, looking for a house that could hide from the black wind and sand.

Soon, Qi Xiaohei found a large house and went down from the broken roof. It was quite spacious inside and the structure was relatively stable.

Everyone entered one by one, and Karama directed the camels to lie down by the wall and tie them up with ropes.

Ye Bai was the last one to enter the big house, and saw Chen Yulou and others using the only tools they had to fix the stone beams of the house. In the corner of the house was a human skeleton, who didn't know who dug it out.

Ye Bai suddenly thought that in the original work, Hu Bayi dug up desert army ants under a house, and it seemed that he also found the bones first.

Darling, it can’t be their room.

Ye Bai hurriedly stepped forward and explored the ground. It was full of gravel and nothing could be seen, but there were dense bite marks from ants on the white bones.

"What? What did you find?" Chen Yulou jumped down from the beam and couldn't help but said.

"There may be a swarm of desert army ants beneath our feet."

"Army ants? What is that?"

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Ye Bai obviously forgot that science popularization was not very developed during the Republic of China, so he had to give a rough description of the power of the army ants.

Chen Yulou took a breath of cold air: "According to what you said, army ants can eat their prey into bones in an instant, so don't we not be able to stay in this room anymore?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "There's no need to do it. If we go out now, we will be buried by the yellow sand. Besides, as long as we don't disturb these ants, we should be fine after a night's rest."

"However, when you make a fire, put some more stones on it, and don't eat meat at night, lest the smell of meat disturb them from the ground."

Everyone nodded, no doubts.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark, and the black storm in the distance officially appeared, like a black dragon raging in.

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand outside, only to feel the gravel hitting his hand.

With this kind of wind force, it is estimated that a living person can be blown away.

Everyone blocked the entrance to the cave with stone slabs and went back to the house to rest together.

The wind outside was noisy, and the wind and sand crackled on the stone slabs.

Hua Ling boiled hot water and gave each person a cup.

When he was bored, Zhang Jiuyi told everyone about the interesting things he encountered in divination in the past.

Many of the examples were very interesting, and everyone listened attentively.

Only Hua Ling foolishly praised: "Senior Zhang, I heard from Brother Xiaobai that fortune telling is mostly fake. You are different from them. You are an expert."

Zhang Jiuyi glanced at Ye Bai, and then explained to Hua Ling: "You are right. Since ancient times, most people have been able to tell people's fortunes and comment on their fortunes. They can tell people's words when they see them, and they can tell ghosts when they see ghosts. It's all based on chance. It's just that

To make fortune tellers willing to pay."

"But some fortune tellers are different. They can tell a thing or two from the hexagrams and give hints to the people who predict the hexagrams. Those who have this ability can be called experts."

Hua Ling gave a thumbs up: "Is that senior Zhang more powerful than the master?"
