Chapter 37 Master, you should accept your disciples when you are old
In Jishi Hall, everyone sat down, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were looking at Zhang Xuanqing, and Zhang Xuanqing was also looking at them, both masters and apprentices.
Compared to Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang looked a bit ordinary. If he took off his Taoist robe, he would probably be an ordinary middle-aged man. However, his bright eyes were quite eye-catching, and people would know at a glance that this person must be an extremely smart person.
By comparing Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei's master and apprentice, Zhang Xuanqing suddenly discovered that the biggest difference between the few people was the skin and eyes.
Sun Simiao, Liu Shenwei, has better skin than ordinary beauties because he often practices the Five Animal Show. Similarly, the same is true after he practices the Five Animal Show. But Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, his skin is the same as ordinary people, and the difference is the eyes.
Their master and apprentice's eyes were very bright, just like stars in the dark night. After staring at them for a long time, they even gave people a sense of dazzlingness.
What are some of these?
Before Zhang Xuanqing could figure it out, he suddenly saw Yuan Tiangang standing up opposite him, and looked shocked. Then he struggled for a while, and stepped forward in front of him in three or two steps, knelt down, hugged his thighs, and cried loudly: "Immortal, I've found you~~~ Please ask the Immortal to accept disciples as disciples, and ask the Immortal to accept disciples as disciples~~~~"
Zhang Xuanqing: “…”
Sun Simiao: “…”
Liu Shenwei: "..."
Li Chunfeng: "..." He looked up at the beam of the room, as if there was something ulterior secret that the spider web above.
Yuan Tiangang was still crying loudly, saying that he had entered the Tao since childhood and became an immortal, but he had no choice but to be ashamed of real people, so he only learned the ability to tell fortunes and see fortunes.
Zhang Xuanqing was useless and didn't pull out his thighs. He said helplessly: "Brother Yuan, get up quickly, get up quickly, why do you think I am an immortal?"
Yuan Tiangang couldn't stand it, and raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Immortal, don't refuse to admit it. I can see that your face is clearly not a person in this world. And according to this world, you can maintain your longevity and glory, and clearly see people who live forever; your eyebrows are half-parted, but you also have the sign of early death and premature death. Your ears are as white as a face and hanging like a chess piece. You can be famous all over the world and wealth forever; your roots are cut off, your head is pointed and thin, but you are lonely and poor, and you will die in a foreign land. Your eyes are beautiful and long, and your eyes are like crucian carp, and you must be on the side of the king and be ranked among the ministers; your lips are red, like bows tilted, and you have to work hard and run around, and you will achieve nothing. Immortal, tell me, how can ordinary people in the world have such a contradictory face?"
"Even if you ignore the facial features, Immortal, you have a little dark pattern in your life palace. It is obvious that there will be a major disaster at the age of eighteen. Even if you escape, you will be in 24 years old, and you will suffer a disaster and die in vain..."
Zhang Xuanqing started to hear nothing, but at the end, she suddenly shivered all over.
What kind of disaster will happen when I was eighteen? The hotel owner! I jumped into the river in the winter and didn't dare to go home. I almost froze to death.
What fell from the sky at the age of twenty-four? The Traveling Fairy Mirror! Although he did not die, he had a time-traveling ability. Isn’t this something from the sky?
Originally, both of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng saw that Zhong Kui was "dead", and it was similar to the legend he knew, so Zhang Xuanqing believed in fortune-telling. At this time, when he heard Yuan Tiangang analyze his numerology so "very good at it", Zhang Xuanqing thought he would be able to accept his master?
But when he lowered his head, he saw the guy he wanted to become a disciple crying and shouting to worship him as his disciple... Zhang Xuanqing said that his little heart could not stand it.
After slapping off a lot of effort, he helped Yuan Tiangang up. At this time, someone had arrived at the clinic. The Xu family's mother next door was over thirty years old and was pregnant again. She ran to the clinic every three days.
Zhang Xuanqing felt embarrassed and pulled Yuan Tiangang to the backyard while saying to Sun Simiao: "Brother Dao, I told someone yesterday that I would be closed for a few days, and you...
"Brother Dao, let me save you." Sun Simiao did not take him to finish speaking, and then understood the gods and said, "I will tell you the power of God later. If someone comes to find Brother Dao, please record your name and wait until Brother Dao 'out of the way' in the future, and then go to the other party."
They had already talked last night, and they could hide the seclusion from others, but they could not hide the fact that they lived together. Therefore, Zhang Xuanqing's statement to Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei was that he was annoyed and wanted to rest for a few days.
After Zhang Xuanqing pulled Yuan Tiangang away, Sun Simiao looked at Li Chunfeng who was full of confusion and didn't know whether to go with him or stay, and smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist Li, you should go in with your master. It's too messy and it's not convenient to entertain guests."
Li Chunfeng was silent for a moment, his voice froze slightly: "Thank you Senior!" He clasped his fists and walked out of the clinic quickly.
...
Backyard, living room.
Zhang Xuanqing first pulled Yuan Tiangang and said for a long time that he was not a god. Even if he was a god, he would not know any magic skills now.
Although he is used to fooling others, he is the ones he fools who don’t believe in him very much. Like Yuan Tiangang, he has no pleasure at all. How can he do it?
However, Yuan Tiangang did not believe it anyway. He recognized that his appearance was definitely not something that ordinary people could have... Smart people usually do this, only believe what they think, not what others say. There is also a noun for this thing, called "firm-mindedness".
Well, Zhang Xuanqing had to turn his attention to Li Chunfeng who was following behind: "Brother Li, you also advise your master. This is a little bad in public, right?"
Even when he arrived at the back hall, Li Chunfeng, who was still looking at the roof, heard this, was silent for a moment, and finally lowered his head and said, "Go back to senior, it's not in public now." Then he looked up again and still looked at the roof in a daze.
Zhang Xuanqing: “…”
After much persuasion, he finally comforted Yuan Tiangang for the time being. Zhang Xuanqing asked about Yuan Tiangang's fortune-telling technique without any scruples.
According to Yuan Tiangang's current situation, I'm afraid Zhang Xuanqing would not suspect that he was a liar who knew nothing. Fortunately, Zhang Xuanqing thought he was a smart person at first.
Well, maybe it's really smart, it's just a little too smart.
But even if Yuan Tiangang saw that Zhang Xuanqing was not afraid, he was worried about how to ask Yuan Tiangang not to pester him. He really didn't know that when he saw him, it would be fine if the famous Sun Simiao went shopping in brothels during the day. What the hell is that Yuan Tiangang kneeling on the ground and hugging his thighs when he met?
Sure enough, Yuan Tiangang did not doubt Zhang Xuanqing's purpose at all, and once explained the knowledge he had mastered: "When I returned to Xianchang, Xiaodao, I entered Taoism since I was a child, first learned Liuren, and gradually could measure human affairs; then I learned Qimen, and gradually could measure collective affairs; finally, I studied Taiyi, and gradually could measure national affairs. I also practiced physiognomy, and was most proficient in measuring human affairs. However, Xiaodao knew the number of days but did not understand the great way, so it was rare to obtain the method of immortality. Therefore, I would like to ask Taoist Master to be kind and be able to pass on one or two wonderful techniques..."
There are three unique skills in Chinese numerology, which are also called "three styles": one is Taiyi Shennumer, the second is Qimen Dunjia, and the third is Liuren. Among them, Taiyi is mainly based on Tianyuan to measure national affairs; Qimen is mainly based on Earth Yuan, and measures collective affairs; Liuren is mainly based on Human Yuan, and measures human affairs.
Taiyi tests national affairs, which is a taboo by the emperor, so it is not famous; Qimen tests collective affairs, which is well-known; Liuren tests personnel affairs, which is mixed with fish and dragons, and its reputation has been damaged.
Although Zhang Xuanqing is a liar in the world, he has some understanding of these "three styles". For example, he knows that these three styles are not the same as the Yijing Puzhuan.
Taiyi, also known as Taiyi divine number, is the first of the three styles, and is the highest level of prediction in ancient times. It is said that it originated from the time when Huangdi fought against Chiyou. When the prediction time was predicted, it was based on Yin and Yang, Three Talents, Four Seasons, Five Yuans, Sixteen Ji, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, Sixteen Gods, etc.; Qimen, also known as Qimen Dunjia, has been known as the "Emperor's Study" in ancient and modern times, integrating the Zhouyi, astronomy, law, calendar, geography, mathematics, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements Theory as one, and the three Talents are based on Zhuge Liang's "planning in the middle and winning a thousand miles away"; Liuren is also divided into Daliu Ren and Xiaoliu Ren. Let's not talk about Xiaoliu Ren for the time being, it is just a little trick to calculate good and bad luck. Anyone can learn it. Daliu Ren uses the heavenly stems, earthly branches, and hourly hours, establish four lessons, arrange three transmissions, observe Yin and Yang, debate life and restraint, and determine good and bad luck.
According to Yuan Tiangang, in fact, King Wen, who wrote the "Book of Changes", was the one who compiled the three styles, re-deduced and arranged the three styles, and combined with contemporary historical facts to write the Book of Changes. Therefore, academic figures must learn the Book of Changes, but they must learn the Book of Changes all the time, otherwise they will not be able to break out of the framework of the Book of Changes and will never be able to achieve the completeness of the Art of Changes.
However, numerology is just a study of calculations, and its root is a prediction created by the ancients in combination with the principles of the world. Just like "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles", it is just a way to speculate something based on some law.
Although it is divided into Yin and Yang and Five Elements, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, River Tu and Luoshu, Taixuan Jiazi Number, etc., these are not techniques for long-lasting vision.
Take King Wen as an example. Even if he has reached the realm of transformation after studying the three styles, he knows five hundred years before and eight hundred years later, and creates the Zhouyi by himself, he still cannot escape the death disaster.
What is the most painful thing in life?
It’s not that someone dies and the money is not spent; it’s not that someone lives and the money is gone. It’s that nothing in the world can hide from you, but you can still live for a hundred years. Even knowing your death date, you can only wait for death quietly.
Between life and death, there is great fear.
The more you know and the more you know, the more you can feel the value of life and... humbleness.
Taoism values life, Lao Tzu's inaction also says that life is precious; Zhuangzi's free and easy life is also worthy of life. Chapter 75 of the "Tao Te Ching": "Only those who do not have to live, are virtuous and noble." Only those who do nothing, are indifferent and pure, follow the circumstances, and never pursue excessive luxury and enjoyment are those who cherish, care, value, and cherish life more.
In addition, Yang Zi, another Taoist wise man, pushed the way of life to the extreme. Mencius said: "Yang Zi took it as me, and it would be beneficial to the world, and it would not be beneficial to the world." The chapter "Liezi Yang Zhu" also records: "In ancient times, people would not benefit the world if they lose a little; they would not be able to take it if they are in the world if they are in the world. Everyone should not be able to take it if they do not lose a little, and everyone will not be able to benefit the world if they are in the world! "
This is the "for me" derived from Yang Zi's "Guisheng": the greatest justice in the world is not "the world is for the public", "selflessness", but the essential "selfishness" is the real "selflessness"!
If you make me lose a little and make a fortune for the world, I won’t do it; if you give me all the benefits to me, I won’t take it. As long as everyone doesn’t lose a little, everyone will be unfavorable to the world, no one will do it, no one will mess around, and the world will be fundamentally harmonious.
After all, I still implement my "inaction" idea.
Chapter completed!
