Chapter 3 Physiognomy
"What is this?"
After feeling a wave of dizziness in his mind, Ye Tian found that a palm-sized turtle shell seemed to appear in his mind, densely engraved with various patterns.
When Ye Tian looked carefully, the turtle shell suddenly disappeared, and a line of seal script appeared in front of him, but this was not difficult for Ye Tian, he had been learning seal script from the old Tao since he was five years old.
"Li Shanyuan, a native of Huayin, Shaanxi, born in 1880, three brothers, four sisters, in 1896, he was a former Qing Xiucai, and studied under the 49th generation of Mai Shenxiang......"
Looking at these fonts that appeared inexplicably in his head, Ye Tian was a little dumbfounded, but after glancing at the old Taoist, he seemed to know a lot of things?
No matter how dull Ye Tian was, he knew that this information must be related to the old Taoist, but whether it was true or false, Ye Tian would not be able to tell the difference.
"Hallucination, it must be an illusion, what does this old guy look like a person in his 100s?"
Although Ye Tian is stubborn, his academic performance is still very good, such a simple arithmetic will naturally be calculated, born in 1880, isn't he 106 years old now? Killing Ye Tian didn't believe that this old man in front of him was so old.
"Huh? Why don't you memorize it? He was shaking his head with his eyes closed and listening to Ye Tian's old way of reciting scriptures, when he heard the sound stop, he opened his eyes dissatisfied.
Ye Tian didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he casually found a reason to push and said, "Cough, master, I will memorize these things when I am five years old, don't memorize them anymore, right?" ”
"You are too young, and you can't teach you something deeper, for fear of violating the harmony of heaven, these are the foundations, and you must lay a good ......"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the old Taoist priest habitually stretched out his right hand and wanted to knock off Ye Tian's head, but after seeing his injury, he took it back stupidly.
Although Ye Tian was young, he had a lot of eyes, he didn't tell Lao Dao the information in his mind, but said: "Master, I've been learning from you for several years, or I'll help you calculate a hexagram today?" ”
"Just you?"
Lao Dao turned his head, glanced at Ye Tian with slanted eyes, and said, "I haven't learned to go, so I want to run, what do you think?" Is it to look at the handprint or the face? ”
The reason why Lao Dao asked this was because he had also taught Ye Tian some shallow knowledge, such as bones, complexion, and posture, which were a little more esoteric, and Ye Tian's age was not suitable for learning.
"Let's look at the face......"
Ye Tian sat up straight, looked at Lao Dao's face, and said, "Master, you are tall and plump (from the forehead hairline to the eyebrows), square and broad, you must have been very proud when you were a teenager, right?" ”
"Hey, you kid still have some doorways?"
When Lao Dao heard Ye Tian's words, he laughed and said: "Your master and I won the show when I was 16 years old, who in ten miles and eight towns doesn't know, hey, I haven't told you about this?" Did you really see it yourself? ”
Although Lao Dao had some doubts in his heart, he didn't take it seriously, the Mai physiognomy he learned was originally passed down from this lineage, and Ye Tian could see some clues from his "upper stop", which was not uncommon.
"Holy, is it true?"
Lao Dao didn't care, but the shock in Ye Tian's heart was indescribable, daring to love this old guy who really had a show, that ...... Is all the information in your mind true?
Ye Tian took a deep breath, pretended to be a little god stick, and said: "Of course I can see it, master, your eyebrows are slender, light and constant, it is the appearance of the three knots in Taoyuan, it should be three brothers, there are two small moles in the corner of the right eye, but it is Luan Feng Cheng, that is the four sisters, a total of seven, right?" ”
What I said earlier is more general, Ye Tian said it accurately, I want to see what the old Taoist priest's reaction is, if he is right this time, then he can prove that he is definitely not hallucinating.
"Oh, by the way, master, I see that your Yin Hall is a little dark, maybe you will have a bloody disaster today......"
The last sentence was not obtained by Ye Tian from the information in his mind, but he really saw that the seal hall of the old way was a little vague, so he said it in passing.
Who knew that Ye Tian's words did not fall, only heard a "bang" in his ears, he was originally sitting on a chair and leaning on two hind legs to support the old Dao who was swaying, after hearing Ye Tian's words, his body was stunned, but he fell back with the chair.
The place where the two of them sat was the entrance of the front hall, and it didn't matter if the old Taoist priest was on his back, but the back of his head touched the threshold of the main hall, which was really a blue stone threshold.
After the old Taoist priest got up from the ground, the wooden hairpin also fell off, his hair was scattered, and the appearance of his head full of blood was not much better than Ye Tian yesterday, which was exactly the sentence that responded to Ye Tian's bloody disaster.
However, Lao Dao obviously didn't take this injury to heart, but grabbed Ye Tian, who was sitting next to him and watched, and said, "Stinky boy, you ...... What you just said, did you really deduce it yourself? ”
It is relatively easy to deduce people's good fortune and misfortune, high and low life from physiognomy, but if you want to accurately calculate each other's brothers and sisters, even Lao Dao himself is beyond his strength.
You must know that although the old Taoist priest is from the Mai lineage, and he does have some real talent, but for thousands of years, the war has been continuous, and the ancestor's physiognomy has been passed down to the present, but there are only three or four points left, but the art of health preservation has been completely preserved.
When the old Taoist priest walked the rivers and lakes, he used more of some rivers and lakes, that is, the four-character formula of "touching, listening, set, and scared".
"Touching" is to find out in advance the situation in the area where you are going to set up a stall to tell fortunes, to find out the basic characteristics of people of different ages, and whether there are more officials or ordinary people living nearby, which is very important.
The so-called "listening" is to try every possible way to let the seeker speak first and speak more, and then find out what is on his mind and then prescribe the right medicine.
As for "scare", that is, to make up some nonsense that offends the gods to scare the other party, and when the other party has no master, he will naturally say what he wants to know.
As soon as these four-character true recipes came out, combined with the old Taoist's real skills, he was called a living immortal in many places.
When the Japanese army invaded China forty or fifty years ago, Li Shanyuan came to Maoshan in order to escape the war.
If it weren't for the fact that he was labeled as a bull ghost and snake god at the beginning of the turmoil, and belonged to the kind of people who were determined to be defeated, the old guy would not have hid here again, and now he doesn't know where to live happily.
However, as a descendant of Mai's lineage, the old Taoist priest is confident that there is absolutely no one in China who can beat him in physiognomy, and he has lived for a hundred and ten years, and he has indeed never met a person more powerful than him.
If you want to say that you are a brother and sister, Lao Dao can also see from the face of the * is not far from ten, but he is a person who has lived for more than 100 years and has rich life experience and experience in looking.
And when he was as old as Ye Tian, the old guy was still shaking his head and reciting the three-character scripture in his private school, so after hearing Ye Tian's words, he was suddenly shocked, could this little baby be possessed by the ancestor master?
"Master, I can see that you have a bloody disaster, but ...... As for your siblings, ahem, I heard it from your dreams......"
Seeing the old Taoist priest so out of shape, Ye Tian was a little scared, and vaguely felt that the information displayed in his mind was a terrible thing, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he subconsciously didn't tell the truth.
"Dream talk? No wonder, I said, how can you kid be so accurate? ”
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the old Taoist priest let out a long breath, if this was really calculated by Ye Tian, then it would not be a genius, but a demon.
After Lao Dao cleaned the wound on his head, he said: "You kid has learned to read words and looks, even if you have entered the door in this industry, I will tell you about our Mai line......
The reason why the old Taoist priest accepted Ye Tian as an apprentice was mainly because he was too bored in the deep mountains and remote places, and he wanted to find someone to talk to relieve his boredom.
Seeing Ye Tian so clever now, Lao Dao was moved, he is also a hundred years old, maybe he will kick his legs and close his eyes, this patriarch's mantle will be passed on.
"The ancestor of our Mai lineage, that is, the Mai Taoist, has been passed to me for the fiftieth generation, although the inheritance has been lost, but in the field of physiognomy and feng shui, no one in China can ......match it."
"Master, I know all this, can you tell me something I don't know......" Before Lao Dao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Tian, he didn't know how many times he had heard these boastful words.
"Stinky boy, do what we do, talk less and observe more, frizzy!"
Lao Dao glared at Ye Tian dissatisfied, and then said: "Not counting you, I have accepted two disciples in total, your senior brother is called Xun Xinjia, and he went to Taiwan with his family in 49 years, and now there is no news."
Your second brother's name is Zuo Jiajun, and he should be fifty this year, right? I spent the longest time with me, but his family composition was not good, and in 68 years, he went to Hong Kong.
Except for you kid, my self-cultivation skills have not been passed on to them, but neither of them is a person with shallow fortune, and you may meet ...... in the future."
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest was also embarrassed, although he had gone through a hundred years of ups and downs and was accustomed to seeing the life and death of the world, but these two apprentices were brought up by him personally, and he was still emotionally moved when he thought of them.
"Master, do you still have overseas connections? If you find two senior brothers, won't you be able to go out and enjoy your happiness? ”
After hearing the words of the old Taoist, Ye Tian shouted in a festive manner, now it is no better than ten years ago, when there were overseas connections in the family, they had to do everything possible to conceal it, for fear of being labeled as a spy.
If anyone has overseas relations, it is a very enviable thing.
The uncle of one of Ye Tian's classmates came back from the United States to visit relatives, and gave him an electronic watch, which made the kid Mei's nose bubbling for a week, and he couldn't wait to tie a bandage and hang his hands on his chest when he walked.
"Find them? I won't go out if I find it, the mountains and rivers are beautiful here, and I will retire here in the future......"
The old Taoist priest shook his head with a smile when he heard this, he has witnessed almost all the major events in modern China in his life, and he has already broken through the world, and glory and wealth are really not attractive to a centenarian.
Suddenly remembering something, the old Taoist priest stood up: "Okay, I'll talk about these later, it's time to take you down the mountain to see, go, bring the Taoist robe in the box in the room......"
