Chapter 305: Divination
Legends are stories that have evolved from myths and have a certain history, and in the continent of Gobles, the stories of the past have been blurred, and the authenticity has become impossible to investigate. Writing, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info because ordinary people can't access them at all, and these things are in the hands of the royal family.
This is still in the old calendar of Gabrils, when it was still the time of the King of Pisa, the oldest and most mysterious family in the continent of Gabrils, who ruled the entire continent for much longer than the current Caesar family.
However, unlike in today's era, it is said that the gods of that time did exist, and everyone basically believed in them. And most people believe in the fixed church of the Pisa dynasty, which is also the mainstream church, the Church of God.
At that time, vindictiveness and magic were not systematized. Very few people can master it, and the paladins are very powerful, and they are also the cornerstone of protecting world peace.
The story begins in the year 800 of the Old Calendar, when King I of Pisa ascended to the throne. It should be noted here that since the Pisan royal family believed in God and believed that the dynastic cycle was like God's creation of the century, with seven as the reincarnation. So when King Pisa VII died, the King of Pisa who ascended the throne was called King Pisa I again! Speaking of which, one thing is very strange, every Pisa King seems to have a lifespan of 100 years, yes, a full 100 years, no more than a day, no less every day, as if it was fixed by something.
Well, then, and then that's it, there shouldn't have been a dynasty collapse when religion and royal power were so highly centralized.
But, however, it may really be fate. According to legend, the oldest astrologers predicted on stone tablets that the fortunes of the Pisa dynasty would not last more than a thousand years. This is the oldest and most precious prophecy, and the tablet is still preserved in a hidden place of the royal family. This tablet also records the method of astrology, so this tablet is also the origin of the profession of all astrologers.
Then again, the predictions of the ancient astrologers were really accurate.
Speaking of this, Tang Mengmeng remembered that this astrologer is not a profession that has been popular on the Internet recently?
Just talking about the Book of Changes, it refers to the "Lianshan" of the Xia Dynasty, the "Guizang" of the Shang Dynasty and the "Zhou Yi" of the Zhou Dynasty, and these three scriptures and hexagrams are collectively called the Book of Changes. Among them, "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" have been lost, and only one copy of "Zhou Yi" has been handed down. Essentially, the I Ching is a book of exposition of change, and has long been used as a "divination". "Divination" is the prediction of the future development of events, and the Book of Changes is a book that summarizes the laws and theories of these predictions. The Book of Changes is an outstanding representative of traditional Chinese culture, vast and subtle, all-encompassing, and the source of Chinese civilization.
"Lianshan" is hidden in Lantai, and "Returning to Tibet" is hidden in Taibu. "The whereabouts of "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" after the Wei and Jin dynasties are unknown, or they were absorbed by Buddhism and Taoism as scriptures or died, which has become a mystery in the field of Chinese culture. About the "three easy" theory. "Zhou Li" "holds the law of three changes, one is called "Lianshan Yi", the second is "Returning to Tibet", and the third is "Zhou Yi", all of which are eight hexagrams, and four of their other hexagrams are sixty." That is to say, in the Zhou Dynasty, the three changes of "Lianshan Yi", "Returning to Tibet", and "Zhou Yi" were controlled by diviners, who predicted national events, military wars, and sacrificial activities.
It is said that this series of books influenced the entire Huaxia Kingdom. Moreover, some strange people and strange things in ancient times can deduce the fortune of the whole country.
For example, the "Tui Bei Tu", written by the Tang Dynasty Taoist priests Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, is the most classic futurology masterpiece in Chinese history. The rigor of his creation, the rigor of his thinking, and the miracle of his fulfillment greatly surpass the great prophecy of Nostradamus in the West, "The Centuries". Based on the Chinese philosophy of symbolism and numbers in the Book of Changes, it makes a fatalistic expression of China's political philosophy and philosophy of history through 60 diagrams: on the one hand, it expounds the historical concept of chaos in which the world is divided for a long time, and when it is divided for a long time, it expounds the political concept of heaven and earth in which men and women rule separately derived from the way of one yin and one yang; and finally it constructs a history of China and the world in accordance with the imperial era -- the republican era -- The theoretical system of the predestined development of the great contemporaneous view of history showed future generations that human history would eventually move towards a world of great harmony without distinction between black and white, north and south, no city, no government, no self, and one family under heaven. This is the political ideal of Confucianism, and it is also the historical destiny revealed by Tui Beitu.
Legend has it that it was written by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, in order to calculate the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, and ordered two famous celestial ministers at that time, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang. Li Chunfeng used Zhou Yi gossip to calculate, but he didn't expect to be addicted to it as soon as he calculated it, and he was out of control, and he actually calculated the fate of China after the Tang Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, until Yuan Tiangang pushed his back and said: "The heavenly machine can not be leaked again, or go back to rest", so this book of prophecy is named "Tui Bei Tu". There are 60 images in Tui Bei Tu, each of which is accompanied by a proverb and a poem that predicts the major events in Chinese history from the Tang Dynasty to the future world harmony.
This is the same as the nature of the astrologer that Atlante said, except that one is inferred for a thousand years, and the other is deduced for two thousand years. The most important thing is that Huaxia Kingdom didn't have any magic at that time, or did some immortals hide, hidden in that prosperous world.
If you think about it carefully, it is also possible, according to what Li Xingyue said, perhaps in ancient times, that world and the fairy world were interconnected.
I remember that Li Xingyue also said an example, about Liu Bowen, he was a powerful immortal cultivator, but he was involved in the battle for the throne of Hongchen. Tang Taizong is the king of the immortal world, so the prince assisted by Liu Bowen still failed. So in a fit of rage, he made a ballad.
"Song of Baked Cakes" is said to be written by Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, the full text is a total of 1912 words, composed of more than 40 hidden ballads, it is a "prophecy" ballad written in hidden language, according to the hexagram written words, from a certain "number of images" law arrangement, involving the application of "prophecy, image, number, reason, and occupation", and it is also the posthumous work of the predecessors of "the image is easy to occupy", which is widely circulated among the people, has a deep influence, is difficult to understand, and is regarded as a divine writing. Many researchers have called "The Song of Baked Cakes" very effective.
However, in the eyes of later generations, the so-called miracle is to use "the facts that have happened" to set up the proverbs in the ballad. Actually, no, he really used forbidden art to deduce the future. It's a violation of the rules, but fortunately not many people believe it. So he died, and the one who later replaced Liu Bowen was just a puppet.
Thinking of this, Tang Meng suddenly felt that the regulations of this immortal world were strict and terrifying.
