Chapter 450: Not Ordinary

"What's that Wang Yang!"

After hearing Wang Yang see the things in the wooden box, he couldn't help but scream. Sun He, Ma Teng, Yan Pengchao and the other two suddenly surrounded him and looked at the wooden box in Wang Yang's hand curiously.

Inside the wooden box is a square chassis made of bronze, and there is also a round compass on the square chassis. Whether it is the chassis or the disk above, there are dense texts engraved on it, as well as patterns representing the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the five elements, and the bad luck and direction of the eight trigrams and stars.

"Isn't this a Feng Shui compass?"

Even Chu Yu looked into the box curiously. When she saw the thing inside the box, she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"This is not a Feng Shui compass, this is called the Liuren style plate."

Wang Yang shook his head and corrected Chu Yu's mistake.

Chu Yu is not like Sun He, Ma Teng, Yan Pengchao and the others. She has seen many masters, and those masters have something similar in their hands, which is the Feng Shui compass. However, the one in this box is not the Feng Shui compass.

The Liuren style plate is derived from the "Heaven is round and the place", and is also created based on the concept of "Heaven is round and the place". The earliest one was called the Taiyi Liuren style plate. The inventor has not yet been found out. According to legend, it is the number verification tool given to the emperor by the Nine Heavens Xuannv.

At the earliest, the Liuren style plate was only used as Si Nan. During the Han Dynasty, the "Liuren Technique" was very popular. At that time, people believed that there was a certain correspondence between time and direction. If the two were combined, they would be auspicious, and if they were contrary, they would be inauspicious. The "Liuren Technique" in the Han Dynasty improved and designed it as a Liuren style plate based on this time and space correspondence as the principle.

The circle above the Liuren style plate is called the heavenly plate, and the square below is called the chassis. The center of the Tianpan is the Big Dipper, and there are two circles of the sect. The inner circle is twelve numbers, representing the twelve months between a year, and the outer circle is the twenty-eight constellations. The surrounding area is the three-layer constellations, with the inner layer being Jia Yi, Bing Ding, Geng Xin, Ren Gui and the four dimensions of the heavenly stems of the heavenly earthly land and man and ghost. The twelve earthly branches in the middle layer are the twenty-eight constellations. Although there are no magnetic needles on the Liuren style plate and the direction cannot be measured, they are depicted in layers with twenty-four good and bad directions.

In the ancient Feng Shui classic "The Emperor's House Sutra", there is a yin and yang eight trigrams combined with the heavenly stems and earthly branches, divided into twenty-four roads, as the guiding principle for building houses. This is the application of the Liuren style plate to the Xiang house. The "Twenty-four roads" are also called "Twenty-four mountains", which is the twenty-four directions on all four sides of the house, and the expression method is the same as that of Sinan.

It is this characteristic that was directly inherited by the compass and evolved into a disc. In addition, Wang Yang also saw a description of the compass in "The Emperor's Stunning World".

"The sun appears in the day to determine the direction and the place where the sun appears in the night to determine the direction and the energy is determined by the Zi stay at the end of the field. Chiyou is used to guide the direction and the direction is only subtle. At first, there is the direction of the heavenly branch, the earthly branch, and the earthly branch is the qi, which is then made into a copper plate and the twenty-four directions. The auxiliary surface of the heavenly stems is the heavenly plate, and the earthly branch is divided into the chassis!"

This passage means that the original model of the compass was composed of the heaven plate and the earth plate, which mainly had twenty-four directions. Generally speaking, the Feng Shui compass is the product of the combination of Si Nan and Liuren style plates. The Feng Shui compass can be said to be a Liuren style plate, but the Liuren style plate is definitely not a Feng Shui compass.

Wang Yang briefly explained the origin of this Liuren style plate to Chu Yu and the others, and also explained the difference between the Liuren style plate and the Feng Shui compass, and then they understood it.

Not to mention them, even Li Muqi knew about this. At the beginning, she thought it was just a Feng Shui compass, just like Chu Yu.

"Mu Qi, you friend, seem to be really amazing."

Seeing that Wang Yang only took a look, he explained the origin and function of this thing clearly. Liu Siming had to put away his previous contempt for Wang Yang.

"Of course, Wang Yang is a very powerful master of the court. You didn't join the Yijing Society of our school, so you don't know that Wang Lingshan from the Yijing Society praised Wang Yang."

Li Muqi was still very happy to see that Wang Yang recognized the thing in the wooden box at a glance, which just means that her grandmother was definitely not casual to give this thing to Wang Yang.

"Look, my grandma said that this thing is destined to be with you, so you can accept it!"

Wang Yang is now a very powerful master of the subject. This thing is just a decoration in their house, but when placed in Wang Yang's hands, it can make this thing play its real role.

Li Muqi gave this thing to Wang Yang without any objection. After all, without Wang Yang, there would be no one million Zhu Wendong. Without this million, her grandmother could not do anything in the remaining three days of life.

"Do you know how this thing comes from?"

Wang Yang did not rush to accept the Liuren style plate. He carefully took the Liuren style plate out of the wooden box and put it in his palm to feel it, but felt something was wrong.

Using his mind power secretly, Wang Yang carefully checked the Liuren style plate and found that there was nothing special, but when the mind power entered the Liuren style plate, the feeling of something wrong became more and more obvious.

"I know."

Li Muqi asked about the origin of this Liuren style plate when he was sent by his relative in his hometown, and he was deeply impressed.

"My grandma said, this is my grandfather's grandfather, that is, my great-grandfather bought it from a Tushima master. That Tushima master is not an ordinary Tushima master. It is said that he was once a gold-touching captain. This thing is the treasure that Tushima master found from the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi. My grandfather regarded this thing as a family heirloom of our family and passed down from generation to generation."

As if she was afraid that Wang Yang thought it was too expensive, Li Muqi explained again: "My grandfather had consulted antique experts to identify this thing. It was an ordinary Feng Shui object in the Qing Dynasty. It can be regarded as an antique, but it is not a precious antique. My grandfather probably thought it was my great-grandfather who was deceived by that native master. However, the price of antiques has increased now, and the price of this thing has also increased."

When Wang Yang heard Li Muqi say that an expert had identified it, he couldn't help but shake his head. The experts' words may not be right.

Wang Yang can't say what's wrong with this Liuren style plate now, but in short, this Liuren style plate definitely gives people the feeling that it is not the ordinary Liuren style plate produced in the Qing Dynasty.
