Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 257 Acquisition of Ginger
When he saw this hexagram clearly, Zhang Yingchuan showed a puzzled expression.

Then he smiled and said: "Hey, it's strange, it's another Mountain Wind Gu hexagram."

This hexagram has Gen on the top and Sun on the bottom. The main hexagram is the Sunda hexagram, the hexagram is the wind, and the yang number is 3; the guest hexagram is the Gen hexagram, the hexagram is the mountain, and the yang number is 1.

Isn't it the Gu hexagram of Mountain Wind Gu?

Immediately, Zhang Yingchuan used water to draw the hexagrams on the table.

Then he explained: "Yuanheng, in order to cross the great river, it takes three days to go first and three days to go back."

The fat man couldn't quite understand what Zhang Yingchuan was talking about, but Bai Jing and Hu Bayi understood it very clearly, and the fat man was immediately ready to ask what he meant.

But he was pulled back by Bai Jing.

It’s true that the more I see, the more I feel that I still have many shortcomings.

At least in the divination process, this piece of Yingchuan has already reached the front of countless people.

The previous hexagram, Qian is the sky, has a very clear meaning, indicating that the subsequent actions of Bai Jing and his party will go smoothly.

But considering that Zhang Yingchuan was calculating the direction for them to go next this time, then everything makes sense.

He thought of the murals he had seen in the tomb of King Xian before, combined with what Bai Jing had said before, and finally his previous experience as a soldier in the Kunlun Glacier.

But just by making friends with Zhang Yingchuan, the purpose of this business has been achieved.

This is Bai Jing's confidence.

Even now, Zhang Yingchuan can already use the plants and trees around him to perform divination, and the contents of the divination are also extremely accurate.

I heard Zhang Yingchuan explain while looking at the hexagram: "This hexagram is the mother of sweet poison. It is the middle way, and it can benefit the great rivers, and there will be trouble in the future."

According to Bai Jing, ginger juice is very useful, and the group on this trip has confirmed that the destination is the Kunlun Glacier.

All these are connected in series, and the place everyone wants to go this time has been determined.

If there is no Bai Jing, this hexagram will definitely not hold true, but if Bai Jing is there, the exploration of Kunlun Palace will definitely go very smoothly.

The next day, Hu Bayi invited Fatty and Da Jinya to go to various vegetable markets in the capital to buy ginger.

As for ginger juice, in addition to melting ice, it also has a function, which is to protect against a creature in the Kunlun Glacier.

At this moment, Zhang Yingchuan also drew the hexagram on the table, then looked at the sky and said: "The wind comes from the west, so the main line is in the west."

The second hexagram, Shang Gen Xun, is the Gu hexagram of Shanfeng Gu. This is a middle hexagram.

After hearing this, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi already understood that the destination of this trip was in the west.

At this moment, everyone already knows that the destination of this trip is the ruins of the demon kingdom on the Kunlun Glacier.

When Zhang Yingchuan met Bai Jing and his group for the first time, it was absolutely impossible for him to know Bai Jing's true abilities, so all this could only be something he had calculated.

Bai Jing has known this for a long time, and he also knows that Zhang Yingchuan should not be able to directly calculate the location of Kunlun Palace.

Then Bai Jing and his party chatted with Zhang Yingchuan for a while. After each left their contact information, they parted ways.

And Hu Bayi, who returned home, fully understood the content of this hexagram.

Although we still don’t know the specific location of this ruins, it doesn’t stop us from collecting supplies first so that we won’t be in a hurry when we really want to go to Kunlun in the future.

And since we are going to the ruins of the Demon Kingdom, there is a high probability of encountering the Dapu Ghost Insect.

Bai Jing has said it before. There are two forms of Dapu ghost insects, namely 'Infinite Karma Fire' and 'Neiqiong Shenbing'.

Both forms of 'dap ghost bugs' are very dangerous.

Among them, the infinite karma fire is relatively common. There may be such creatures in the tombs of many demon kingdom nobles. If you want to kill them, you need water.

The other form of the Dap ghost insect, 'Naiqiong Shenbing', is another form, rather it is the evolved form of 'Infinite Karma Fire'.

Because 'Neiqiong Shenbing' can also be transformed into 'Infinite Karma Fire', and can be converted back and forth between the two forms.

In this case, the effect of something like ginger juice can be reflected.

Because ginger juice can not only be used to melt ice, but if used in the right amount, it can actually be used to extinguish fires.

Therefore, as long as there is enough ginger juice, no matter what form of 'Dap Ghost Insect' attacks, the safety of the people in the team can be guaranteed.

Therefore, the group of people naturally split up and went to various vegetable markets or wholesale markets in the capital to buy a large amount of ginger.

However, everyone's operation was relatively smooth on the first day, and they bought nearly 100 kilograms of ginger.

Don’t feel like it’s not much.

First of all, this was the 1980s, and the variety of vegetables in the vegetable market was not particularly rich.

As for ginger, usually a piece of ginger is enough for a family to eat for a long time.

After all, it is difficult to even eat meat now, let alone the ginger used to remove the smell.

Normally, a dozen kilograms of ginger can be found in a vegetable market.

Under normal circumstances, the water content of ginger is about 85%. Due to the technical level, now everyone uses ginger to squeeze juice. Basically, one kilogram can squeeze half a kilogram of ginger juice.

For this operation, after everyone's discussion, it was conservatively estimated that one hundred kilograms of ginger juice would be needed, which means that almost two hundred kilograms of ginger would be needed.

In this operation, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi's trio made up a total of four people. In addition to what Hu Bayi said, he also has a friend in Tibet who should also participate in this event.

Finally, when you get to the place, you must find some local guides.

In this case, a conservative estimate should be around seven or eight people.

At that time, in order to prevent the attack of the Dap ghost bug, everyone needs to carry at least five to eight kilograms of ginger watering can for self-defense.

In this case, half of the ginger juice has been distributed.

The remaining half is used to melt the thick glaciers, which is really stretched.

Simply, when it came to the third item, a few people set out again and continued to buy ginger.

However, this time I don’t know if I harvested too much yesterday. I went to several vegetable markets today and couldn’t find any ginger for sale.

This is a bit strange.

Bai Jing probably guessed the reason. It was probably that Lei Xianming and his party were also starting to buy ginger.

However, Bai Jing did not tell the truth. Instead, he drove to a vegetable market and said, "This is the last vegetable market. Let's split up and look for clues."

Then, Bai Jing, Hu Bayi, Fatty and Da Jinya went to each vegetable stall in pairs to ask about the ginger.
