On the street outside Qingyang Palace, the stall where two Taoist priests were originally sitting has become three.

The guests seemed to be a little playful, and did not believe in these fortune-telling at all, waiting to expose the old ways.

Lao Dao picked up the sticky note paper, stroked his goatee, and said with a smile: "The official ghost is matched with the white tiger, and the statue of Jin Ge Iron Horse." Looking at the official ghosts in the trigram, it is the meaning of the royal family. It means that you are in the government department, and that Jin Ge Iron Horse means that you have been in the army. So, you used to be an officer. ”

Slightly surprised, the guest didn't say much, and nodded to continue.

Lao Dao looked at the hexagram and continued to analyze: "The upper hexagram is dry, the lower hexagram is exchange, and the exchange is Ze, which is the meaning of imperfection. It's clear that you've got something stuck in a stalemate swamp. Look at the mutual hexagram again, the upper is Xun, and the lower is separate. Xun is the wind, separation is the fire, the wind helps the fire, and the problems you encounter are not small.

Moreover, this fire does not come from outside, it comes from yourself. Your own decisions are now causing trouble. Dry is gold, separation is fire, fire is gold, wife has no wealth, and there is no income. Young man, you quit your job and gave up your identity as an officer. ”

The guest gasped and seemed a little incredulous.

Lao Dao smiled and said: "Let's take a look at the only yin in this hexagram, the dry is 1, the exchange is 2, and the yin is in the position of 63." You and I sit together, thirty-sixty-eight ......"

As he spoke, Lao Dao pinched with his fingers, and his thumb kept moving at the rest of his knuckles.

"The first time you had sex, the summer vacation when you were eighteen years old, the other party was three years older than you. ”

The guests couldn't sit still at all, because the three things pointed out by the old Tao were all right!

"Then, Dao Chief, what do you think I will do in the future?"

Lao Dao stroked his goatee and was silent for a while.

The guest was a little anxious and took the initiative to pay for it.

Lao Dao stopped him and sighed: "This is the calamity of your fate, it is impossible to escape this calamity!"

The guest was stunned for a moment and said, "Dao Chief, can't you resolve it?"

Lao Dao shook his head: "This is your fate, you can't solve it, and you don't need to solve it." The old Taoist temple has an upright face, not like a flatterer, but you are definitely not a poor person. So, you don't have to worry too much, just calm down and things will be fine. ”

The guest was puzzled and began to take the initiative to introduce: "Dao Chief, I am very confused now, I don't know if what I did before was wrong, is it possible that without the work of an officer, I will achieve nothing? ”

Lao Dao: "Lao Tao has already said that you are absolutely poor, so you don't have to worry." Your future is shattered, but the future is bright. What you need to do now is not to waste time worrying about sorrows, but to seize the time to replenish yourself.

You can get out of the army and give up the superior job of being an officer, you already have more courage than most people. Now, you just have to stick to this courage, don't forget your original intention, and think about why you came out in the first place.

Then, according to your original idea, go step by step, and the future will be open. The rest of the matter is not for you to worry about, leave it to God. The more you replenish during this time, the more you can seize the opportunity when it comes. ”

The guest thought for a moment and asked, "What should I do in the future?"

Lao Dao smiled and said: "You should ask your heart, it has told you that your future." Think about a time when you remembered a life and then trembled and even your soul began to get excited. This is your future path, maybe you are nervous, maybe you will encounter twists and turns, so what?

Will you give up? Your military career doesn't tell you what perseverance is? Why do you have experience in the army, why do you leave the army so easily, don't these pave the way for the future?

You are afraid, you are afraid, nothing more than that you don't have any income at this time, and you can't see the future. The old man asks you rhetorically, how old are you, how much information do you have, why do you think you can see through the future?

Don't be afraid, lad, your future is within reach. You're moving towards your dreams, you're not wasting time, you want to climb the peaks. But in this world, where are the flat mountains? Don't hesitate to do it, don't be anxious, devote yourself wholeheartedly, don't ask about the harvest, just ask about the cultivation. ”

The guest stood up, bowed deeply to Lao Dao, and said, "Thank you, Daoist, there is not much money here, and I didn't bring much money......

Lao Dao still stopped the guest and said, "Young man, I saw that you have a fate, so I told you this." Believe in yourself, do you die if you leave that job? Is your life ruined? Do you believe in yourself?"

After speaking, Lao Dao did not collect the money, but instead took Yuan Changwen and left.

…………

"Why don't you take him money?"

Yuan Changwen was very puzzled, this old way used to charge for twenty yuan, but now others take the initiative to not want it.

Lao Dao sighed slightly: "A person like him has great courage to be able to step out of a comfortable and comfortable work range." The success of such people is inevitable. Now he may be confused and depressed, but it won't be long before he can come out on his own. It is also his fate to meet Lao Dao me. ”

Hey, hey, you're changing the subject.

What's the deal with a sudden change of tone and a sentimental expression?

Lao Dao suddenly laughed and said, "Being able to meet him is also Lao Dao's fate." When he succeeds, or when he is confused again, he will come to the old way. ”

In other words, this is a long line to drop the big fish?

Hey, hey, are you giving me a lesson?

Lao Dao took out the old book and said, "You also saw the whole process of divination just now, and now Lao Dao will teach you some basic knowledge." For example, gossip, which gossip, if you can't even say the name, how does it work?"

Yuan Changwen: "Dao Chang, to tell the truth, I have also studied the I Ching before, and I found that it is not scientific at all. For example, it says that the Qiangua represents the heavens and the Kun hexagram represents the earth. This is just a substitution of a noun, then I can fully say that represents the sky and urine represents the earth.

Or, use some virtual meaningless words to represent heaven and B for earth. After replacing the gossip in this way, you can still play around, and the probability of calculating the hexagram has not changed!"

Lao Dao showed an approving expression on his face and said, "Not bad, not bad." I thought it would take you half a year to understand this, but I didn't expect you to already have your own ideas. It's good, it's good in two ways. First, you speak the truth of your heart, and you don't choose what is called decency and give up the words.

Second, you have your own ideas and your own understanding of fortune-telling, which is the path to the master. If you just know how to memorize, just imitate the way of interpreting the hexagram of your predecessors, you will become a master at most. Never, it is impossible to go to the path of mastery.

You're right, and that's exactly what you do. There are no rules for divination, and everything in the world contains the supreme principle of heaven and earth. If you empty yourself and let the Heavenly Dao enter your body, then you can also see the future from a grain of sand and a flower.

The cumbersome procedure is just to convince you that there is a way in this world to spy on the way of heaven. When you yourself are the way of heaven, where do you need to peep in? The truth you believe in is the truth. As long as you believe, you can also use calculus to tell fortunes. ”

Hey?

Why does this sound familiar?

Am I hearing this somewhere?

Yuan Changwen fell into thought, remembering where he had heard the same words before.

Oh!

Temple that monk!

He also told me the same thing when he taught me how to make hexagrams.

I don't know what to talk about, but anyway, believing and believing can become a reality.

Not scientific at all!

Lao Dao: "Then what do you think is science?"

Yuan Changwen thought for a while and said: "Nature is not subject to human will, whether I believe it or not, the results of the experiment will not change." This is science, this is objective truth. ”

Lao Dao was curious: "Why do you trust the whole scientific world so much when you have only done a few simple experiments? Once a scientist releases the latest scientific results, you never doubt it, why is this? What is the difference between this and superstition? The Pope released the latest news, and then all the congregants gladly accepted it. ”

Yuan Changwen: "Although I haven't done those experiments, I believe they are all true, are scientists all over the world lying to us?"

Lao Dao smiled and said: "Isn't there a time when science makes mistakes? Hundreds of years ago, a certain conclusion was born, scientists announced it, and the whole world agreed with it. And then hundreds of years later this theory was overturned, again declared, again recognized by the whole world.

Can we say that what people initially believed was wrong? But they still believe it, even if the result is reversed now, they still believe it. Teenager, do you really think you're trusting others?

Everything is because you believe. You are not believing in others, but you are believing in yourself! If you can believe in science without reservation, why can't you believe in the old theories? Why turn a blind eye to the fact that the spiritual masters of the world are telling this?"

Yuan Changwen was not afraid of offending Lao Dao: "Because you are fake, you are deceiving! You are idealistic, not based on objective things, but idealism centered on human will! Can't I see the roads in the distance, so those roads don't exist?"

Lao Dao was not provoked, and said with a smile: "Young man, why do you believe in materialism so much? Did you observe it yourself? Or were you instilled in school since childhood? Could it be that all the supernatural events in the world are liars?"

If you really believe in materialism, then why do you worship the Buddha and make a wish? Why are you afraid of ghosts? Why do you like horoscope palmistry? Why do you subconsciously maintain reverence for the gods in temples and Taoist temples? Why do you still believe in Chinese medicine? Why do you still believe in Feng Shui?"

it!

These questions directly made Yuan Changwen stunned.

Deny?

Yuan Changwen didn't dare to completely deny these problems, who dared to say that he didn't believe in evil, so he cursed himself for nothing, anyway, cursing or anything was not scientific.

No one dares to do that!

In the subconscious of human beings, they always maintain a reverence for ghosts and gods, more or less. This is to believe, perhaps because others are afraid to say it, or interpret it as a custom and so on. However, no matter how much you whitewash, you can't change it, and that's what you believe.

…………

Qingyang Palace, a Taoist temple in the city of Rongcheng.

It is rumored that Lao Tzu told his younger brother that he would come to Qingyang to find me. After a while, Lao Tzu really fell from the sky and sat in Qingyang to discuss. As a result, Qingyang became a gathering place for the gods, and was later renamed Qingyang Palace.

it!

What a TM garbage story!

Yuan Changwen had to complain about this legend, can he be a little imaginative.

Also, he put on a Taoist robe and entered Qingyang Palace in such a grand manner.

Is it free for insiders?

Ten yuan tickets, is there really no need to buy them?

Lao Dao took Yuan Changwen, and the two walked in Qingyang Palace.

Quiet and natural, there are not many tourists, and occasionally a few Taoist priests can be seen walking by, nodding to each other.

Plants are deliberately trimmed to specific shapes, such as cranes, such as turtles.

Dou Mu Palace, side door.

It is a place similar to a morning class, with a long table with all kinds of Taoist books, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Lao Tao put the Book of Changes on the table and said, "Copy it first." ”

Yuan Changwen was stunned for a moment, and defended: "I don't know how to use a brush, and besides, I have to go home later......"

Lao Dao turned to leave, leaving two words: "Whatever you want." ”

Yuan Changwen suddenly wondered, why didn't he preach?

I was talking about it just now, why is it that now I suddenly cherish words like gold?

Yuan Changwen looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and then looked at the old way of leaving, very hesitant.

Should I go home, or should I copy the I Ching?

Obviously he should go home, what is this, do you really want to be a Taoist priest?

In the future, do you really want to set up a stall to tell fortunes?

No kidding!

But......

Yuan Changwen sat still, as if a voice was shouting in his heart.

Anyway, it won't take long to copy.

Go home when you're done!

Yuan Changwen began to sharpen the ink, picked up a brush that he had almost never used, and wrote slowly.

At first, it also imitated the appearance of TV, holding a pen with five fingers, which looked very Chinese-style.

But I am too tired, my fingers are tired, my wrists are tired, these muscles are rarely used, and I naturally get tired quickly.

Yuan Changwen simply changed his way and jumped into what he thought was the most comfortable position for holding the pen, with the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and three fingers holding the pen. From a distance, it looks a bit like you're drawing rather than writing.

Whatever!

Be sure to pick the most comfortable way to write, although the handwriting is a bit ugly.

Unconsciously, two hours passed, and Yuan Changwen also finished copying.

Looking at the sky, it was a little dark.

As soon as he looked at his phone, it was almost six o'clock, and Yuan Changwen immediately prepared to go home.

It's just that......

What to do with this robe?

Do you want to wear a robe and take the bus?

Also, what about these copied papers?

It's a pity to throw it away!

I've written it for so long, can I keep it?

I don't think it makes much sense.

"Ahh

Yuan Changwen suddenly roared, fuck your sister!

Why do I have to worry about these things? Why waste time on these things? Can you stop a little bit?

Brain, you give me another tangle, believe it or not, Lao Tzu committed suicide and then played it all?!

Depend on!

Can't I cure you?!

Who are you?!Who is the master?am I or you?

Why are there so many nonsense entanglements, why do you occupy my brain?

Get lost!

Yuan Changwen snorted coldly, put away his works, and went home.
