Chapter 364: Nine Emperor Star Monarch
Yan Shuiran quickly looked at the third question.
This third question also surprised Yan Shuiran.
It's not that the third question is too difficult, on the contrary, compared with the first two questions, these three questions seem a little too simple.
However, the so-called difficulty of the question is only relatively comparative. Whether or not people can really see through it depends on everyone's ability.
This third question is somewhat similar to the second question, which is a painting.
And at first glance, this painting seems to have nothing to do with feng shui physiognomy, which is quite puzzling.
The paintings depict them look like the fairy characters in the myths and legends of our country, and they are also very typical of the classical gods of our country, with a total of nine. Their figures are elegant and handsome, with long and elegant beards, wide robes and long sleeves like clouds, and their lines are very smooth and bright, without the slightest smell of fireworks.
This kind of painting method is somewhat like the most standard immortal image painting method popular in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties.
If someone who is good at painting is present, it can be easily seen that this painting method is very similar to the style of painting Saint Wu Daozi.
This third question asks about the origin of these nine immortals.
As soon as this question came out, it really stumped many people.
After all, such a question, I really can't see a little bit related to feng shui physiognomy, how can it not make people wonder? However, since the Li family came up with such a question, it was questioned by those who were not allowed to participate in the test.
So everyone pondered and gave their respective answers.
Although there are many gods and goddesses in my country's myths and legends. But if you really want to talk about it seriously, each of them has its own unique origin. So if you consider it from this aspect, you have to guess the identities of these nine immortals. It doesn't seem to be too difficult to do.
But the nine immortals are lined up together, and few people seem to have seen them.
Yan Shuiran's brows furrowed slightly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly recognized these nine people. She smiled slightly, checked the remaining answer sheets, and quickly eliminated the unqualified ones, leaving only the last five.
Hundreds of people took part in the test. In the end, only five people passed the assessment. The probability of success is really a bit low.
And at this moment, Bai Sen and the others haven't reacted yet!
Seeing that Yan Shuiran already had an answer. Bai Sen simply gave up thinking about this last question, and directly submitted the answer sheet screened out by Yan Shuiran to the top, and asked himself: "I said Shuiran, what is the origin of these nine immortals." You recognized it so quickly? At first, I thought it was three clear and six royal. Later, I felt a little different. ”
Bai Sen's two senior brothers also came up with the answer when Bai Sen submitted the test paper, but since Bai Sen had already asked first, they didn't say anything, but looked at Yan Shuiran together, waiting for Yan Shuiran's answer.
The so-called Three Qing and Six Emperors are actually the predecessors of the current Three Qing and Four Emperors. It's just that later, in order to cater to the classification of the four auxiliaries of the Futai Taoist Sutra, the Taoist people removed the two royals and became the three clear and four royal.
Merely. The immortals in the Three Qings and Six Emperors are almost all white-bearded old men. The elegant appearance of a virtuous person does not match the image of a middle-aged man in the painting.
It is precisely because of this that when Bai Sen thought of the Three Qings and Six Emperors, he quickly ruled out this idea again.
Yan Shuiran said with a smile: "The identities of these nine immortals are indeed relatively secluded, and it is normal for you to not remember them for a while." But I'm sure you'll be impressed with a little reminder! ”
Ji Yongan and Jin Zhijie couldn't help laughing, while Feng Weijing was curious.
Bai Sen suddenly became even more curious: "What the hell is it, you should hurry up and say!" ”
Yan Shuiran pointed to the nine immortals in the painting, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Speaking of which, in the inherited Taoist culture, the origin of these nine immortals is not low. They are known as the Nine Emperor Star Monarchs, and they are rumored to be able to rule over the life and death of the world......"
"Nine Emperor Star Monarch?!" Bai Sen suddenly realized.
He patted his head, looking a little annoyed.
Such a simple answer, why didn't he think about it for a while!
Seeing that Bai Sen understood, Yan Shuiran didn't plan to say any more. However, she swept her eyes and saw that Feng Weijing's face was still at a loss, and her heart softened, so she talked to Feng Weijing again.
"Brother Feng, this Nine Emperor Star Monarch is actually talking about the Big Dipper Nine Stars. Although the well-known constellation of the Big Dipper only has the Big Dipper, in fact, in the true Taoist tradition, in addition to these seven stars, there are two dark stars, left and right, which together with the Big Dipper, are collectively called the nine stars. Yan Shuiran lowered her voice and said in Feng Weijing's ear.
In Taoist culture, the seven stars correspond to the seven senses of the human being, namely the eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth. There are also two dark stars, the so-called hidden stars, which allude to the urethra and anus.
Therefore, there is a saying in ancient times that people are not smooth to die. These nine tricks refer to the nine tricks corresponding to the nine stars of the Big Dipper.
The ancients felt that the nine stars of the Big Dipper corresponded to the nine orifices of the human body, so the death of the Big Dipper and the death of the master of life in charge of life are naturally awe-inspiring.
It's just that more often, everyone uses the Big Dipper to discern the direction, as for the two dark stars, they are hidden relatively deep, and ordinary people can't see them, so naturally fewer people mention them. However, in the legend, if someone is really lucky enough to see the two hidden stars, it is considered to have met a great fortune, and it will be auspicious in the future.
The nine immortals painted in the third title are the so-called Tianshu Palace Greedy Wolf Star Monarch, Tianxuan Palace Jumen Xingjun, Tianji Palace Lucun Star Monarch, Tianquan Palace Wenqu Xingjun, Yuheng Palace Lian Zhen Xingjun, Kaiyang Palace Wuqu Xingjun, Shaoguang Palace Pojun Xingjun, and Zuo Fu Right Bi.
It's just that there are too many astrological and immortal legends handed down in our country, and in different legends, the origin of the same immortal will even be different, the names are not the same, and there are contradictions that make people incomprehensible.
The Nine Emperor Star Monarch belongs to one of the more out-of-the-way ones among the stars and immortals, and naturally few people can think of it in a short time after seeing the picture.
But as long as there is a brief reminder, most capable physiognomy masters will be able to react.
Bai Sen is one of them.
Although Yan Shuiran and Feng Weijing spoke in low voices, they couldn't hide it from the people at the same table.
Ji Yongan and Jin Zhijie nodded with relief when they saw that Yan Shuiran knew so much about Taoist culture.
The little junior brother has been wandering outside for many years and has met many people, many of whom are indiscriminate, which makes them a little unsightly. However, Yan Shuiran, who is young at this age, although she is a female physiognomy teacher, her skills and knowledge are not to be underestimated. (To be continued......)
