Chapter 83 Yin-Yang Logic
……

"Go back!"

Wu Wen said to Yang Ergou.

Yang Ergou was about to turn around and leave, but he turned back and whispered to Wu Wen:
"Sir, I've discovered one more thing. Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan are always sneaky, as if they are deliberately hiding something from us."

"Don't worry about these things, just do your own thing." Wu Wen seemed not to hear Yang Ergou's words and warned at the same time.

"Oh!" Yang Ergou responded and left.

Wu Wen returned upstairs and just took out a book to read when he suddenly heard the shouting of his master Li Chunfeng.

"Wu Wen!"

Turning around, I saw Li Chunfeng standing at the stairs.

"Follow me upstairs!" Li Chunfeng said, then turned and went upstairs.

Wu Wen put the book in his hand back to its original place and followed.

In the fourth-floor attic, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked at him seriously.

"Master, is there anything wrong?" Wu Wen asked puzzledly.

"Wu Wen, can you play chess?" Yuan Tiangang asked in confusion.

"I know a little!" Wu Wen answered after thinking, not knowing what the other party meant by asking this suddenly.

"Come, let's take a look at this layout."

Li Chunfeng guided Wu Wen to the table and pointed at the chess game played with black and white pieces on the board.

"This is... Tai Chi!"

Wu Wen could tell at a glance that the black and white pieces on the chessboard formed a yin-yang fish pattern.

How can chess be played like this? Wu Wen immediately understood that the other party's question about whether he could play chess was just an excuse, and what he really wanted to say was actually for another purpose.

At this time, Li Chunfeng also came over, pointed at the chessboard, and said to Wu Wen:
"All things in the world embrace Yin and Yang, and all changes cannot escape the two words of Yin and Yang."

"Wu Wen, if your master asked you to express the changes of yin and yang using numerology, what would you do?" Li Chunfeng asked.

Wu Wen looked at the Yin-Yang chess game in front of him, pondered for a moment, then walked to the desk beside him, picked up a pen, first drew a cross coordinate on the paper, and then drew two entangled wavy lines on the coordinate.

"Master, please look!"

Wu Wen held the paper upright to display it.

"These two lines represent yin and yang. I can express them using two numerology formulas. The yang line is called the sine formula, and the yin line is called the cosine formula."

After saying that, Wu Wen picked up a pen and wrote the sine and cosine equations on paper.

Then, he drew a standard Tai Chi diagram on another piece of paper, stood it up and continued:
"I can also express this Tai Chi diagram using numerology."

Then, Wu Wen wrote a long string of complicated numerology formulas next to the Tai Chi diagram.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang came forward to watch curiously.

After Wu Wen finished writing, he took a blank sheet of paper and said, "I can break down this Tai Chi diagram into a series of sine and cosine equations."

As he spoke, Wu Wen began to disassemble the blank paper.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked at Wu Wenzhen who broke down the Tai Chi diagram into sine and cosine forms bit by bit, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Wu Wen glanced at their shocked looks out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, revealing a hint of a smile.

"All right!"

As soon as Wu Wen put down his pen, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang immediately leaned forward and examined it carefully.

Wu Wen took a step back and watched the two of them study quietly.

After a long time, Yuan Tiangang suddenly coughed. Li Chunfeng then stood up with him and turned to look at Wu Wen.

"I still have some questions about this thing, so please keep it for a few days and let me observe it." Li Chunfeng said seriously. "If you like it, please accept it and observe it slowly." Wu Wen said with a smile.

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Li Chunfeng, and his eyes suggested that he still had important things to do.

Only then did Li Chunfeng withdraw his mind from the numerology and come to the Tai Chi diagram on the chessboard again.

This time he didn't keep it a secret and started teaching Wu Wen directly:

"On this chessboard, the white chess pieces are yang, and the black chess pieces are yin. The yin and yang intertwine to form a hexagram."

While listening to Li Chunfeng's explanation, Wu Wen's mind was filled with memories of what he said.

The white chess piece is Yang, represented by a long horizontal line in the hexagram: '—'.

The black chess piece is Yin, which is represented by two short horizontal lines in the hexagram: '--'.

The arrangement and combination of yin and yang on the chessboard forms a hexagram.

As he spoke, Li Chunfeng also took out a piece of paper and used a pen to arrange the hexagrams represented by the Tai Chi diagram on the chessboard on the paper.

However, in this process, Yang is still represented by a long horizontal line as '—', while Yin is represented by only a short horizontal line as '-'.

Wu Wen looked at the long and short horizontal lines appearing on the paper little by little, his pupils shrank and his heart was shocked.

“————-————”

Isn't this the signal code?

After drawing all the long and short horizontal lines representing the hexagrams on paper, Li Chunfeng disrupted the layout of the Tai Chi diagram on the chessboard and then rearranged the Four Symbols diagram.

He drew them on paper in the same way, with white pieces representing Yang and a long horizontal line representing '—'; and black pieces representing Yin and a short horizontal line representing '-'.

Then, Li Chunfeng disrupted the chessboard and used black and white chess pieces to form a Bagua diagram, and also used long and short lines to draw it on paper.

After it's done.

The paper was covered with densely packed long and short lines.

Li Chunfeng placed it in front of Wu Wen, asked him to look at it, and said with a smile:

"There are 361 chess pieces that can be placed on the chessboard, which is the number of the Zhoutian.

The number of celestial bodies in a circle is one realm.

One realm represents one hexagram.

In this way, yin and yang can be used to express all things and their changes!"

"Sure enough!" After listening to Li Chunfeng's teachings, Wu Wen thought to himself: This method is almost exactly the same as the method I know of converting images into data information.

Moreover, this yin-yang expression method can not only express images using numerology, but can also be used to express sound fluctuations. For example, the underlying logic of storing information on records, CDs, videotapes, mobile hard drives, etc. can all be expressed using yin-yang.

Seeing the shocked and silent expression on Wu Wen's face at this moment, Li Chunfeng seemed very satisfied and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Do you know what these things your master taught you are?"

Wu Wen shook his head.

"This is the Taoist secret technique that unlocks the mysteries of heaven and earth." Li Chunfeng said slowly, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

After a pause, he continued in a low voice: "At the same time, this is also a secret method to pursue immortality."

Immortality! When Wu Wen heard this word, he became alert and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Alas! Li Chunfeng sighed, and then said again: "This secret method was passed down by Master Wei."

"It's a pity that although I have mastered this secret method, I have studied it for more than ten years but have never been able to comprehend it. I will teach it to you today, and I hope you can gain something from it."

The Wei Patriarch mentioned by Li Chunfeng is the Zixu Yuanjun who ascended to heaven during the Jin Dynasty as recorded in historical records.
