"What?!" Zhao Yu quickly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Do you understand these hexagrams?"
The place that the old lady was pointing to was indeed the cryptic system hexagrams that Zhao Yu had recorded. Zhao Yu had looked for them for a long time, but no one knew.
He had worn out iron shoes to find them!
He did not expect that the person who knew was right in front of him, and it was his own mother!
Holy sh * t, if he could really decipher these hexagrams, it would definitely be of great help for future adventures!
"I'm not sure, but," the old lady creased her eyebrows and said, "I've seen these things that you recorded in a book in your grandpa's house. It was a handwritten copy, called Blissful Eight Trigrams! I even asked your grandpa! Your grandpa said that Blissful Eight Trigrams is also called Ghost Eight Trigrams, and is a long-lost ancient secret technique! That sounds really weird, hehehe … "
"Child, I don't understand. How did you get these hexagrams?"
"I …" Zhao Yu quickly thought of an excuse and said, "Investigation, yes! Used for investigation! I found it by accident when I was investigating! Mom, if you can help me decipher this thing, it might be helpful for the investigation! Hurry up, tell me! "
"Mm …" The old lady rubbed the words on the notebook, as if she was trying hard to remember something. After a while, she said, "This hexagrams, it seems … it doesn't seem to be the meaning of the words themselves! So, it doesn't matter if you know the words or not, it's mainly about the four corners of the words, and the five tones … "
"Mm … sigh!" The old lady thought for a while and suddenly sighed, "If only your grandpa was still alive! I only looked at it out of curiosity, but didn't study it in detail! Plus, this thing has been lost, so it shouldn't be that easy to decipher! "
"It can't be, right?" Zhao Yu was depressed. "What about my two uncles? Do they understand? "
"Cough!" The old lady pouted, "Don't mention those two guys, okay? They don't do their jobs, and only know how to pee and make mud. They're a disgrace to your grandpa! They're not even as good as me! At least they can look at their daughter-in-law! "
"What the …" Zhao Yu quickly pulled the old lady's arm, "Mom, think again, see if you can decipher it. It's really important!"
"Son!" The old lady thought hard and said, "I vaguely remember your grandfather saying that the Ghost Bagua recorded in the ancient books was very magical. It was as if he could predict the future! Here … "The old lady pointed at the words in the notebook and said," In this hexagram, there are four words in a group, and there are four groups in total. They contain yin and yang and the five elements, and are ever-changing. If you learn it well, you can predict what will happen to a person through time, location, and other things. It's very strange! "
Oh …
Hearing the old lady's words, Zhao Yu seemed to understand something. It seemed that these hexagram poems were not made up by the system. There was a profound mystery behind them.
Maybe the hexagram mentioned the adventure that he was going to encounter, the situation, the time, the place, and the person that he was going to encounter with!
If he could decipher it, not only would he be able to increase the completion rate of his fortuitous encounter, but he would also be able to reduce the danger of fortuitous encounters.
"I say, son," said the old lady with a frown, "I'm so confused. Why did you suddenly change? I remember that in the past, whenever I mentioned things like astrology, Bagua, physiognomy, or anything like that, you would argue with me! You said that it was all nonsense, and that you should believe in science! Why, are you … interested in it now?
"If you're really interested, why don't you learn physiognomy from me! I didn't learn anything else from your grandfather, but I definitely learned physiognomy from him. If you learn from him, your grandfather will definitely be happy! "
"Mm … About this … Let's talk about it later!" Zhao Yu did not want to skip over the main topic and continued to beg, "Mom … Didn't you just say that my grandfather has a handwritten book about the Ghost Bagua? Think about it, can you still find it? "
"That's hard to say. I don't know what happened to your two useless uncles!" The old lady shook her head and sighed.
"Hurry up, call your brothers tomorrow and ask them to look for it!" Zhao Yu shook the old lady's arm. "Mom, it's really important to me!"
"Important, important! What drug did the police station give you? " The old lady was cleaning up the dishes and complaining. "You only think about work and solving cases every day, and you can't even go home! Look at your head, it's already bald! I don't even know if your hair will grow back, sigh! "
"Mom …" Zhao Yu was quick-witted. Seeing that his mother was unwilling to cooperate, he suddenly had an idea. He quickly pulled his mother and said, "Mom, if you solve the case, you'll get a bonus! Five hundred thousand! "
Crash …
The bowl and chopsticks suddenly fell on the table, and the old lady almost jumped up from the floor.
"What? Five … five hundred thousand?! " The old lady sat down on the chair and stared at Zhao Yu in surprise. "Son, you … you … why didn't you say so earlier? Look at how big of a mess this has become … "
With that, the old lady quickly picked up her phone and called her younger brothers on the spot. Even though Zhao Yu reminded her that it was already half past one in the morning, the old lady did not care …
…
One hour later.
Phew …
Lying on the bed, Zhao Yu let out a heavy breath. At that moment, the old lady had already hung up the phone and gone to sleep.
Peace and quiet were finally restored in the room.
Although it was already late at night, Zhao Yu's brain cells were still in a state of high excitement.
A few minutes ago, the system's ending notification finally sounded. This time, Zhao Yu's adventure completion rate had reached an unprecedented 110%!
The system rewarded him with two level one devices. One was called the Memory Flashback Device, which could be used to retrieve memories that had been forgotten or blurred.
The other device was called the Invisible Hemostat, which could be used to stop bleeding. Regardless of whether it was an internal or external injury, once used, it was a magical device that could save one's life!
Zhao Yu had a deeper understanding of the devices that the system had rewarded him with. Looking at the various devices in the device bar, although all of them were magical, none of them could be used for active attacks!
Not only were there no all-purpose pistols or offensive devices like the Invisible Electric Baton, but there were also no devices with destructive functions.
All of the devices were auxiliary or medical devices. These devices could help Zhao Yu complete his mission, but they could not be used to hurt people!
It seemed that the system had its own principles, and would not give out dangerous and difficult to control devices.
However, even with these auxiliary devices, Zhao Yu was already like a tiger that had grown wings. He had gained a lot, so he was naturally quite satisfied.
Now that he had finally gotten some information about the hexagram, Zhao Yu was extremely excited. If he could really solve the hexagram one day, he might even get more powerful devices as a reward!
Then, he inevitably thought about the Bank Hidden Corpse Case that he had solved that day, and Miao Ying, who he had been thinking about day and night.
The more he interacted with her, the more Zhao Yu fell in love with Team Leader Miao, who had a fiery personality but valued relationships. He felt that Miao Ying was the type of person that he liked, and she was irreplaceable!
Lying on the bed, Miao Ying's every frown and smile kept appearing in his mind. Zhao Yu was really lovesick. Even though he was lying on the bed, he was still humming the lyrics.
