There is a lucky cat in the dream

Chapter 17 Taixing Nine Palaces

When Ye Chixu went out with her tasteless props, she met the kitten waiting for her in the grass. She stepped forward to pick it up and rubbed it against her cheek.

"I've been in for so long, I thought you were out." The kitten rubbed her chin affectionately with the top of her head.

"No, I remember you, let Lin Xiaolang go first." Ye Chixu stuffed the flashlight into the side pocket of the sports pants, and held up the umbrella, one person and one cat walked slowly in the drizzle, " It's so dangerous, I was almost caught by the examiner before entering the door just now."

The kitten sat firmly in Ye Chixu's arms, shook its ears and said, "No, I won't catch you."

"Really, aren't you comforting me?"

"No, you won't be caught just now." The kitten shook its beard again, stretched out its front paws to lick its fur and washed its face, the air humidity was too high, which made it a little uncomfortable, "I can't sense the examiner, we Be careful."

Although only one of them.

"Yeah." Ye Chixu agreed to it, and walked silently under the shade of a tree where he could hide his figure, "My third mission is to find Zhong Shanzhai, do you know where it is?"

"I know!" The kitten raised its head, stretched out its paws and pointed left and right, "Just go forward, turn right, and then..."

Its sound becomes smaller and smaller until it disappears.

"What's the matter?" Ye Chixu walked along the street trees and came to an intersection, "Are you turning right at this intersection?"

"Yes." The kitten nodded, "Go forward three residential buildings, and then you can see the square with a big tree... It's just that I won't take the road there... "

"Not leaving?" Ye Chixu frowned, "Shouldn't the shops on the square be easy to leave?"

"It's not like that..." The kitten leaned against Ye Chixu's chest, scratching and pulling with its two little paws, "It's the kind...a lot of grids are drawn on the ground...and then you have to walk in the right way... At once……"

"Is there a formation?" Ye Chixu stared at its little paws fluttering in the air, feeling very cute.

"Hey, yes, it's the formation, I won't leave, Xun...ordinary people won't leave." It scratched its ears, looking very uncomfortable, "It seems to be called... Jiugong..."

"Jiugong?" Ye Chixu lifted the kitten up, and held it with another hand, "Is there a specific footwork to pass?"

"Oh, yes, I can't remember." The kitten moved its buttocks, pulled its tail out from where it was pressed, and flicked it, "Maybe you will know it after reading it."

This is a circular central square with a wide view all around, without any objects that can hide the examiner. In the middle is a huge fig tree.

The foliage of the banyan tree was so lush that the moonlight couldn't penetrate it, and it was pitch black under the shade of the tree. Yechixu held an umbrella and walked to the edge of the square with the cat in his arms.

"Is there a formation as soon as you step into the square, or is it near Zhongshanzhai." Ye Chixu hid under the tree on the edge of the square, looking at the opposite building from a distance.

"The piece in front of Zhong Shanzhai...it's easiest to walk from the big tree." The kitten licked its paw and said.

The kitten's ears trembled: "Hurry up, it seems that someone is coming... I don't know if they are passing by or coming here..."

Hearing that Ye Chixu put away his umbrella, he quickly rushed into the shade of the banyan tree.

"Are you coming?" she asked, sticking to the trunk of the tree.

"It's here... It seems to be passing by." The kitten jumped up from her arms, climbed to the top of the tree and squatted, "It didn't come here, it was passing by, we will go later."

Ye Chixu touched his chin and thought: So he can climb trees...

After all, most pet cats can't climb trees now.

While the kitten was watching the wind, Ye Chixu saw the shallow scratches on the ground through the hazy moonlight.

After careful observation, she found that these scratches formed a trapezoidal grid between the narrow top and the wide bottom, and the number was engraved in a nine-square grid facing Zhong Shanzhai.

Ye Chixu squinted his eyes to see the row closest to him, from left to right: 8, 1, 6.

"This order..." Ye Chixu held his face and recalled the optional reading of pre-Qin philosophers that his ancient literature teacher opened when he was in college.

"Judging from the order in which the numbers are arranged, the Nine Palaces Map is arranged according to the Eight Diagrams of Houtian... In the previous class, the teacher taught the method of memorizing Luoshu. wrong."

Ye Chixu didn't bother to look at the other numbers. He picked up a branch and drew it on the ground: "Wear nine shoes, one on the left, three on the right, seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, six and eight on the feet, and five on the right." Centered. Nine distances and one hurdle, three shocks and seven exchanges, two kuns and four suns, six stems and eight gens, five residences in the middle palace... Huh, fortunately, I memorized it when I was interested in learning before, otherwise it would be troublesome today."

"What are you doing~" The kitten jumped down from the tree and landed firmly in the grass under the banyan tree.

"Drawing Grid, I probably know how to get there." Ye Chixu reached out and picked up the kitten, and picked up the umbrella leaning on the tree with his right hand.

"According to the method of Taixing Nine Palaces, Shikan, Cikun, Cizhen, Cixun, and Rest in Zhonggong. From Zhonggong to Qian, Cidui, Cigen, and Cili, one week is over." Ye Chixu Stepped on the top grid on the right, "It is indeed the easiest way to go from here. The grids here are marked with numbers, so there is no need to study how to get there."

Ye Chixu led the kitten quickly through the small formation in front of Zhong Shanzhai. At first, she had to recall the position correspondingly, but then she walked away skillfully.

"It's been a long time since I graduated, and it's the first time I feel that majoring is still useful." She blew through the wet hair sticking to her forehead, "It's still 7 weeks after I've walked so far."

Warm yellow light shines through the half-closed door of the wide-open study, making it feel like home in this long rainy night.

"Let's go, go in." Ye Chixu stroked the kitten's fur, tsk, it's still dry, amazing.

Pushing the door open is a bookstore, the bookcases are arranged neatly along the two sides of the passageway, and the wood of the cabinets is shining with oily luster under the light.

The counter was right next to the door, but there was no one standing behind it.

Ye Chixu stepped on the carpet at the entrance and rubbed the soles of her shoes, first put the dripping umbrella in the bucket at the door, and then put the kitten on the counter.

With a soft "click", the door that came in was closed.

Ye Chixu stepped back and pressed the doorknob, locking it.She frowned slightly, a little puzzled, and heard the sound of objects moving behind her.

She turned around and saw that the row of bookcases facing the door had parted and were moving to both sides, revealing the stairs at the corner behind.

A woman climbed down the stairs.

She was wearing a rouge-coloured slanted-breasted gown with a stand-up collar and a woven golden horse skirt that swept the floor, and the chains of the gold-rimmed glasses swayed slightly as she moved.

It's beautiful, but the skirt is too long.

Ye Chixu complained silently in his heart.
