Chapter 3554 From the Great Road to the Simple

Lin Wan'er stared at the hexagram presented by the nine copper coins, and became more and more surprised.

She had never encountered such an ambiguous, or half-and-half situation before.

Among the nine copper coins, the front and back and directions of four are exactly at the gate of life, the other four are exactly at the gate of death, and the key one is just at the position of life or death.

This kind of life or death does not refer to the copper coin itself, but when you look at it together with the four life gates, the five copper coins can simultaneously form a life gate hexagram.

But if you look at it together with the other four death gates, it can also form a death gate hexagram.

It's like when two countries are at war, and a mixed-race baby is born. The national strength of these two countries is exactly equal, so only this baby can change the scales. If the baby takes on the nationality of the father, he will become an enemy of the mother's country, and vice versa.

Lin Wan'er has been fortune-telling for hundreds of years, but this is the first time she has seen such a strange hexagram.

She silently grabbed nine copper coins and threw them out again. Although the positions of all the coins had changed this time, Lin Wan'er came to the same conclusion again by interpreting the hexagram.

Seeing her frown, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask again: "Miss Lin, what does the hexagram show this time?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head: "It's the same as before, nothing has changed."

Ye Chen was surprised and asked her, "I just wrote down the front and back of all the coins and their positions. Compared to the previous hexagram, the position of each coin has changed, and the front and back have also changed. Why is the hexagram the same?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Young Master, you learned Feng Shui from the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures, but there doesn't seem to be any divination in there. Hexagrams aren't interpreted based on appearances, but rather using their unique logic. The two hexagrams may appear unrelated on the surface, but the actual readings are exactly the same."

Ye Chen sighed: "There really isn't any advanced divination technique in the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures."

Lin Wan'er explained, "The reason why divination is so mysterious is because its underlying logic is equivalent to a software that can simulate calculations."

"Young Master, now that you're involved in car manufacturing, you should know that modern simulated car collisions, in addition to actual crash tests, can also be simulated in software. The software itself has already set the physical properties of Earth as constants. During the simulation, you only need to input parameters such as the vehicle's weight, speed, collision avoidance design, material strength, collision location, collision object, etc., and you can simulate the collision results of the car in detail."

"My fortune-telling relies on the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams. Although the ancients didn't have computers, they used years of observation to grasp the underlying logic of the world and even the universe, and then created the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams. The core of the I Ching is "yin and yang," which is actually the earliest binary system, similar to the 0 and 1 in the computer world. I use copper coins for fortune-telling. The front and back of the coin, like yin and yang, is also a form of binary."

"These nine coins are like the nine important parameters of a computer simulation. By using the Yijing Bagua software to simulate these nine parameters, we can predict the direction and outcome of events, as well as the variables involved. As long as the development of events does not deviate from the operating model of this world, the deduction results will not deviate too much. Although the positions and front and back of the nine coins may be different, the reason why nine coins are needed for divination is that all divination depends not on the state of a single coin, but on the relationship between the nine coins. In other words, dropping nine coins on a table, a room, or even scattering them throughout the courtyard will not affect the result."

The I Ching and the Eight Trigrams are not feudal superstitions, but the truth of simplicity.

0 and 1 can constitute the virtual world of computers, and yin and yang can naturally constitute all things in the world.

However, Lin Wan'er may be the only person in the world who truly masters the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams and can use nine variable parameters for calculations and deductions.

The result was the same both times, which made Lin Wan'er confused.

Whether it is Tang Sihai or the people behind Tang Sihai, they all belong to the Death Gate.

Li Yalin is Ye Chen's man, so he belongs to the Shengmen.

Ye Chen himself must also be the source of life.

So, who is this person caught in the middle, wavering?

In doubt, she said to Ye Chen, "Sir, please be patient and give me some time to think about the connection. When there is a result, Wan'er will tell you as soon as possible."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. Li Yalin might even need one or two years or even three to five years to track her down. No matter how amazing Lin Wan'er was, it was impossible for her to find clues overnight. Naturally, this matter could not be rushed.

Recalling the letter Xiao Churan had left for him at home before leaving, Ye Chen suddenly felt a sense of longing to return home, so he said to Lin Wan'er, "Miss Lin, it's getting late, and I won't bother you any longer. If you have any findings or conclusions, please contact me as soon as possible."

Lin Wan'er nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, sir."

After saying this, although she was reluctant to leave, she did not try to persuade him to stay. She smiled and said, "I will see you off, sir."

After Ye Chen left Zijin Villa, he immediately rushed back to Tomson Yipin.

The situation at home is exactly the same as shown in Nanako's video.

Most of the furniture and things were not moved, and everything was the same as when I left.

Back in the bedroom, the letter left by Xiao Churan was still quietly placed on the bedside.

Ye Chen opened the letter and read it again, tears welling up in his eyes again.

After six years of marriage, they thought their marriage life was finally on track, but they didn't expect it to come to an abrupt end at the most beautiful moment.

Now that he is back home, everything is still the same as before, except Xiao Churan is gone. In this environment, seeing things reminds him of her, which makes Ye Chen feel extremely sad.

After much hesitation, he still left Tomson Yipin with the letter given by Xiao Churan.

Living alone in such a big house is lonely, and Xiao Churan's shadow is everywhere, which makes people feel even more depressed.

So Ye Chen left Tomson Yipin and went to the hillside villa of Champs Elysees alone. He felt that he needed some time to calm down, at least three to five days, or at most one to two months.

Afterwards, he left messages to Li Yalin and Lin Wan'er on WeChat respectively, telling them to contact him by phone as soon as possible if they had any news. As for WeChat, he planned to temporarily disconnect from the Internet and only keep Li Yalin and Lin Wan'er on the whitelist on his mobile phone, blocking all other calls and text messages.

When Lin Wan'er saw Ye Chen's message saying that he would contact her by phone if he had any news, she knew that Ye Chen must want to be alone and digest the fact that Xiao Churan had left.

She was worried, afraid that Ye Chen would never recover or suffer from lovesickness all day long.

So, she also told Lao Zhang and others not to disturb her, and decided to sort out Ye Chen's recent experiences and who the variables in the hexagram depended on.

She opened a Go board and placed a black piece on the far left, muttering, "Every cause and effect has its origin. So, the origin of all this should be Qingzhao Temple on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, right?"
