Old Man Lin smiled and continued, "The number of floors in Wenchang Tower is 7, 9, 11, and 13. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it stands to reason that the higher the better. However, the three numbers of 7, 11 and 13 are unlucky to some extent, and the number 9 has always been the most auspicious number in the subconscious and religious sense of the Chinese people, so it is a better choice to choose the 9-story Wenchang Pagoda. And this Xiaobei is a girl, and this layer is just right for her. He pointed to the Wenchang Pagoda on the coffee table.

My aunt felt that she was messy, "I haven't been at home for a few days, why are you all feudal superstitions." ”

Old Man Lin smiled and said, "Hehe...... Xiao Yan! Originally, I was a staunch materialist like you, and I was not convinced by Feng Shui, and I also thought it was a superstitious doctrine. I remember when I was a child, when my grandfather was choosing a site and opening a factory, he would ask a feng shui master to ask for an auspicious time, and I still scoffed at that time! More disdainful than you. He paused for a moment and continued, "Later, when I studied the Taoist classics of "Zhou Yi", I was able to understand some of them from a scientific level, and I did not think that it was a purely superstitious doctrine. Feng Shui is very popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and Xiao Yan should have seen a Feng Shui master in the United States! ”

My aunt frowned and nodded, "I've seen a lot of them in Chinatown, they are very trusted, and in my opinion, they want to be safe and auspicious." ”

"I remember when I was a child, when I built a house in the village and looked for a cemetery, I had to find someone to see it." Grandma said seriously, "I don't care if you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." ”

"Poof......" Grandma's words made Fang Monan spray a coffee table with water in his mouth, "Ahem......"

"You kid, if you drink water, you can choke yourself." Grandma patted Fang Menan on the back and said.

"Ahem...... I'm fine. Fang Menan waved his hand. It's really too lethal for this sentence.

"Feng Shui theory can exist for thousands of years, and it has its own reason for existence, but it is not a god stick that swaggers and deceives." Mr. Lin continued, "Taoism was founded by Lao Tzu, and metaphysics is a philosophical trend that arose during the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty periods, which is mainly based on the synthesis of Taoism and Confucianism, so it is usually called "Wei and Jin metaphysics". Metaphysics was the mainstream of thought that replaced the two Han classics in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Metaphysics is "Xuanyuan Learning", which is based on "ancestral narrative of Laozhuang" and comprehensive Confucianism and Taoism, and calls "Zhou Yi", "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" "Three Xuan".

Among them, the "Xuan" of metaphysics comes from Lao Tzu's thoughts. Lao Tzu. Chapter 1 says: "Mystery and mystery, the door of all wonders". Xuan is the general law "Tao" of all things in heaven and earth, which embodies the infinite and mysterious changes of all things. The metaphysicians used their reformed Lao and Zhuang thoughts to annotate the Confucian Analects and Zhou Yi, and reformed the Han and Han classics, which had lost their role in maintaining people's hearts, and established a philosophical ontology of "nothing as the foundation". Confucian ideas such as "etiquette", "famous teaching", "heavenly way", and "humanity". Although it is also discussed in metaphysics, its main theme is Taoist, that is, the emphasis on the sublime is "nothing", "nature" and "non-action". ”

Old Man Lin took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "The five techniques of metaphysics: mountain, medicine, life, divination, and physiognomy. ”

"Let's talk about medicine first, the secret art "medicine" consists of three parts.

Prescription - a method of using medicine, according to the inside and outside, the void and the real, the cold and the heat, and then the ancient Zhouyi Bagua to treat various diseases.

Acupuncture - the method of using the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Difficult Scripture" to distinguish the eight veins and acupoints of the meridians, and to use copper needles to puncture the acupoints to treat diseases.

Spiritual Healing - using hypnosis, suggestion and concentration of the mind. Use the "Thirteen Branches of Wishes" as a medicine to introduce a method for treating diseases. This Nannan of our family should have a deep understanding that she treats people with traditional Chinese medicine. ”

Old Man Lin continued, "The so-called life is numerology. Nowadays, people pay attention to science, and I will explain it to you from a scientific point of view. Life is a method of judging people's fate based on the magnetic field of time and space. Related to statistics.

In astrology, there are "Seven Politics and Four Remains", "Crape Myrtle Doushu", and "Five Stars".

The stem branch technique is based on the time of birth, the year, month and day are arranged into the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, and some of the classics in the four pillars are the most, and the ancient books in this area are even more vast. The works of modern people's numerology are even more numerous, and the list is endless. And Li Chunfeng, the patriarch of Xuanmen, was a famous astronomer. ”

Auntie nodded, "There are a lot of fortune-telling stalls on this street, although they have been hit before, but now they seem to have resurged." ”

"Humph! Metaphysics is not those people. Old Man Lin saw his aunt nodding, and continued, "The so-called divination, in metaphysics, divination has the longest history. There is a history of divination in both the East and the West, and the ancient divination in the West is the tarot card that arose in the Middle Ages. Old Man Lin sighed, "It's just that now the inheritance of these ancient spells, both in the East and the West, has declined." I don't know if there are any heirs? ”

"But then again." Old Man Lin said, "In our oriental history, most of the military scientists of the previous dynasties were proficient in this technique, such as Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty, Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty, Shao Kangjie of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, and Zeng Guofan of the Qing Dynasty...... The art of divination has the longest history, evolving from the ancient Zhou Yi, such as "Plum Blossom Easy Count", "Najia Broken Easy", "Liuren Divine Lesson", "Taiyi Divine Number", "Qimen Dunjia" and other mathematical techniques

"Liuren Yin and Yang Sutra" is written by Li Chunfeng, Liuren is the oldest technique category that uses the five elements of yin and yang to divinate good fortune and evil, and Qimen Dunjia, Taiyi Shenshu is called the three styles, and is the first of the three styles, and it is also the most difficult. But the estimation is the most accurate, because it is a very informative type of statistics, and the course format is complex and varied. Nowadays, except for the real people in the Xuanmen, there are very few people on the rivers and lakes who are proficient in the divination of the six rens. I haven't seen it yet, anyway.

Some sects also include prophecy, grammatical dreams, word measurement and interpretation, signatures, name learning and other techniques in this part of divination. ”

And the so-called phase includes two kinds. Human physiognomy - palmistry, face, physiognomy, touching bones, moles, etc., representative works include "Observing People in the Micro", "Xiangli Hengzhen", "Divine Appearance Tieguan Knife", "Water Mirror Divine Appearance", "Mai Divine Appearance", "Golden Hinged Scissors" and so on. The earth phase - the earth phase is the ancient "Kanyu technique", which is divided into the yang house phase method of watching the door well stove and the yin house phase method of looking at the sand and water direction of the dragon's cave, which is generally called feng shui. Whether it is the Yang House Aspect Method or the Yin House Phase, it is all Mahayana, and the luck of making people or killing is all in one thought. ”

"This feng shui can also kill people invisibly!" The aunt smacked her tongue.

"Xuanmen pays attention to the cause and effect of heaven, and does not want to create and kill." Old Man Lin said cautiously.

"Master, I'm just talking about it, and I don't know Feng Shui." Auntie said with a smile. "Master, you haven't talked about the mountain yet!"

"Mountains are the most difficult, mountains contain the secret art of cultivating the mind and exercising the body, and "mountain" is also the most profound and mysterious, and it is also the most easily misunderstood as a kind of "superstition". "Mountain" contains the practice of three parts: "Xuandian", "Health Maintenance", and "Cultivation of Esoterics". "Xuandian" - all good books that can be used for self-cultivation can be used to practice, such as "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Liezi", "Sun Tzu", "Taigong Yin Fu Jing", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Daozang" and even "Journey to the West...... and all other books are used to enrich the mind and understand the principles of the universe. "Health preservation" - the pursuit of health and longevity of the breath method - qigong. The Taoist alchemy method is called Tiandan, Rendan, and Didan. "Cultivation of Tantras" - the method of charms, suppression, star prayer, martial arts, etc., using movement and the unity of spirit and mind to improve the state of mind and body. There are also secret art sects that divide the "mountain" into five methods: immortals, Tao, illusions, spirits, and soldiers. And its scope is not separated from the above three parts.

Mountain is the most difficult realm to reach in the secret arts, strictly speaking, it is the work of mortals to cultivate immortals, is the metaphysical pursuit of transcendence, only "life, divination, physiognomy, medicine" flow in the rivers and lakes to help the world. ”

"So mortals can still cultivate and become immortals?" Auntie asked curiously.

"It's just that now the aura of heaven and earth is thin, and it is difficult to become an immortal!" Mr. Lin said, "The above is the basic composition of metaphysics, according to legend, from the Book of Heaven, I think the above laws are derived from Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi covers all things in time and space, the universe, is the book that explains the universe, and the Book of Changes is called the sect of "Ten Thousand Laws Return to the Sect". ”

"China is profound, and it can be fully reflected in the practicality of life, you have to admire our ancestors!" Fang Menan said meaningfully.

Fang Monan just sat casually, his posture was freehand, and his eyebrows and eyes were faintly smiling, "Every gust of wind is alive, as long as you feel it carefully, you can feel its breath." Every drop of water is magical, and as long as you can enter it, you can find that there are more than 3,000 worlds inside. Between feng shui, the illusion of all kinds of weather, this illusion of the atmosphere affects the heaven and the earth, and also affects all living beings. Most sentient beings are depressed, so some people choose to escape from the world and choose to cultivate. Cultivators always like to build temples, always like to worship gods in temples, and worship the gods of the monks' souls. ”

Fang Monan's starting point is higher than others, and he cultivates directly, but due to the expansion of the scope of human activities, the destruction of the natural environment has made the aura in the air thinner and thinner, and now he wants to cultivate and become an immortal, which is almost zero.

After two promotions, Fang Monan was in the initial stage of refining gods and transforming voids in martial arts, and had already entered the innate realm. She clearly knows her strength, and she doesn't dare to use all her strength in a few fights with people, otherwise the other party won't even be able to take a palm from her. The sixteen-character mantra of Taoism is, refining and refining qi. Refining gas and transforming gods, refining gods and turning voids, refining voids and merging the way.

The ancients said: Jing is a kind of vitality, the aura in the body, is the most basic composition of life, the condensation of essence becomes qi, and the flow of qi around it obtains a more subtle function, this is God, God's promotion and cultivation has an extraordinary and wonderful realm, the void can accommodate all things in heaven and earth, the void is boundless, and it is unspeakable. And after this kind of realm has been controlled, it has entered the road of harmony. And the highest state of the Tao is to reconcile yin and yang for the benefit of all things!! (To be continued.) )
