6 characters: qi an ye yi chi ye
7 characters: qi wei zhao ye yi mou ye
6 characters: qi cui ye yi pan ye
6 characters: qi ji ye yi san ye
7 characters: wei zhi yu qi wang you ye
6 characters: zhi zhi yu qi wei luan
.................................................................
8 characters: he bao zhi mu zuo yu hao mo
8 characters: jiu cheng zhi tai zuo yu lei tu
8 characters: bai wan zhi gao shi yu zu xia

The "missing" ye character after "luan" at the end of line six indicates,
that the function of the auxillary ye characters of this Guodian chapter
is to fill each of the first six lines with a certain amount of characters.

The numbers 676676 correspond to hexagram 29 :cloud::cloud:

A little pointe concerning the phrase zhi yu described on page 272 below in sparhawk's link:

https://docs.google.com/fileview?id...E5NWEtYmJiOWU5Nzc4MjAz&hl=en&authkey=CN2IhK0M

line 5: wei zhi yu qi wang you ye
line 6: zhi zhi yu qi wei luan

The sentence structure (zhi yu qi, X X X) put into my bad english:

line 5: to him, is being to have no existence
line 6: to him, is ruling not yet confusion

line 6 points to line 2 of the chapter, where the character wei (not yet) too occurs.
Hexagrams are build from below, so line 2 of the chapter is line 5 of the hexagram.
Line 5 of a hexagram is the ruler's line!
