Chapter 476: Exploration

Qin Yi calmed down, cleared all kinds of distracting thoughts in his mind, and sorted out his thoughts.

After killing those four guys, there should be no other external threats to the Lost Castle. Although Xia Ji might not be able to leave smoothly, she would definitely not be a threat.

Then the rest is to explore the Lost Castle.

Qin Yi has fully understood the architectural ideas of the Lost Castle. After repeated checks and verifications, he has been able to confirm that the Lost Castle was definitely built according to the ideas of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams.

The only problem now is to find the core of the Lost Castle and control the core hub of the Lost Castle.

This is also the key to the secret realm of the Lost Castle.

Qin Yi guessed that there must be a core hub for all this, whether it is the building complex of the Lost Castle or the Lost Wilderness outside, there must be a core hub controlling it.

What Qin Yi has to do now is to find this hub.

According to the principle of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, the core should be the eight hexagrams. And each of these eight hexagrams has two buildings.

In other words, this core hub is probably in the corresponding sixteen buildings.

With an idea, Qin Yi's mentality was much more relaxed. However, the situation outside was critical, and Qin Yi could not delay too long.

The Shura Sect had already issued a bounty to Yueyin Mountain, and also issued a bounty to Qin Yi.

If he wasted too much time here, the outside world would change, and if he was delayed, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Before, Qin Yi set a time for himself to stay for three days.

Because dealing with Mo Chi and others, three days had already consumed more than one day. Now Qin Yi only had about one and a half days left.

"After one and a half days, if I still can't comprehend the mystery of this place, I will resolutely leave and never stay. This Lost Castle will be left to the destined person."

Qin Yi's mentality was very good.

It would be good to comprehend the mystery of the Lost Castle. If he couldn't comprehend it, he wouldn't be too disappointed. After all, this trip was not without gain.

Killing Mo Chi and others is definitely a huge gain.

"Among the eight trigrams, Qian and Kun are the main ones. Qian represents heaven, and Kun represents earth. Heaven and earth are the root of all things. If there is really a core hub, it must be in the buildings corresponding to these two trigrams."

If other cultivators from Yanluo Domain and the Forsaken Land enter this building, they will definitely be confused and have no clue if they don't know Fuxi's sixty-four trigrams and the meaning of the eight trigrams.

But Qin Yi is an outlier.

If there is only one outlier in Yanluo Domain, it is undoubtedly him, Qin Yi.

Because he is a time traveler, he studied the Book of Changes in his previous life, and he is very familiar with the eight trigrams and sixty-four trigrams.

Even in his name, there is a word "Yi", which was chosen by his grandfather who studied the Book of Changes, and he has deep sustenance.

Therefore, Qin Yi has been studying the Book of Changes since he was a child. Although he is not a master, he is quite proficient in Yi principles.

At least, identifying the superficial things such as Qian and Kun Gua Xiang was as simple as kindergarten questions for him.

He had been reciting the formulas of "Qian Sanlian, Kun Liuduan, Zhen Yangyu, Gen Fuwan..." since he was a child as nursery rhymes.

Therefore, identifying the palaces corresponding to Qian and Kun Gua Xiang was not difficult for him at all.

Because the architectural style of these palaces was built completely according to the shape of the Gua Xiang itself, it was just a matter of proportion.

The key to the palace corresponding to Qian Gua was the three words "Qian Sanlian".

→

The Gua Xiang of Qian Gua was three parallel sight lines. The corresponding palace was three rows of buildings standing in parallel.

You had to turn at the end of the building between each other, and there was absolutely no vertical porch to pass through.

This architectural style would never appear under normal circumstances.

But this Lost Castle, built according to the Gua Xiang, would definitely appear.

So now, he was concentrating on searching. His inner belief was extremely firm, and he would definitely find the palace corresponding to Qian and Kun Gua.

It must be said that the architecture of the Lost Castle is very clever.

Logically speaking, the Qian and Kun hexagrams belong to all the hexagrams, and they should be connected to each other and must be in the building complex.

But Qin Yi kept searching and exploring, and after several hours, he still found nothing.

For a moment, he almost doubted whether his logic was wrong? This was not built strictly according to the sixty-four hexagrams.

But why are the other details completely consistent?

If it is not strictly in accordance, the other details cannot be so perfectly consistent.

"Did the Qian and Kun hexagrams just disappear out of thin air?" Qin Yi was a little confused for a while.

"Yes! The four palaces corresponding to the Qian and Kun hexagrams are so hard to find because they must be hidden in this huge building complex. There is a formation within a formation! These two hexagrams must be the core of the Lost Castle and the biggest secret of the Lost Castle!"

After Qin Yi thought about it carefully, he became more determined in his thoughts.

If the Qian and Kun hexagrams did not have a deeper meaning, they would not be so difficult to find.

The reason why they could not be found for a while must be that the builders used a clever method to hide the Qian and Kun hexagrams in the building complex.

This huge building complex is endless and vast, just like a maze. Although it is difficult to hide the Qiankun hexagram, there must be a way for the builder.

Qin Yi is almost certain that if he finds the Qiankun hexagram, he can easily uncover all the mysteries of the lost castle.

However, the time left for Qin Yi is really not much.

As time passes by, Qin Yi also feels a little pressure invisibly.

He can certainly leave at this point, but it is obviously unrealistic to say that there is no loss at all. Anyone would feel a little lost if they return empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain.

"Calm down, it's not a good idea for me to search like a headless fly." Qin Yi tried to calm himself down.

After meditating for a while, Qin Yi suddenly had an idea and took out a piece of animal skin from the storage ring and carefully carved it.

He started exploring again, and began to draw every time he walked.

He had explored more than once, so he was familiar with the route. Slowly, the contents on the animal skins gradually became richer.

Various hexagrams and palaces were constantly reflected on the animal skins.

His posture clearly meant that he wanted to depict the Lost Castle on the animal skins, and then comprehend the mystery of the Lost Castle from the animal skins.

In fact, this was just to infinitely reduce the scale of the Lost Castle to facilitate comprehension.

It seemed that this method was simple, but if Qin Yi had not been well versed in the mysteries and principles of these buildings, he would not have been able to depict them at all, let alone comprehend them.

The fourth update is complete!
