Chapter 18: The Heart of a King
The black-clothed Xiangshi held a black and white cloud flag in his hand, the cloud flag was dim and faint, glowing with a faint ghostly light, about half a zhang long, one foot wide, engraved with many ancient animals and unknown inscriptions, the corners of the cloud flag had a layer of dark gray skin wrinkles, which looked a little broken, but gave people a sense of vicissitudes of time.
The moment the black-clothed Xiangshi walked into the teahouse with the cloud flag, a large number of dark clouds suddenly came to the sky, covering the entire sky a little dark, and the Wenjin teahouse also fell into the darkness shrouded in dark clouds in an instant.
It's just that the sound of the pipa in the Wenjin Building is crisp, like a bead walking a jade plate, the sound is like a silver bell, crisp and pleasant, people only care about drinking tea and listening to music, and they don't care too much about the arrival of the Wuyi Xiangshi.
Chu Ge's black eyes blinked, although he felt that the teahouse was a little dim, but his expression was still as calm as water, and after raising his hand to write down the word [three], Chu Ge looked indifferent, the corners of his mouth raised a tentative smile like a Hongqing tea question, and his hands turned into a salute: "Sir, please understand." ”
After Chu Ge finished writing the word [three], he wanted to add one more stroke, his eyebrows flashed, and he thought that he was ranked third in the family, known as Chu San'er, so he asked for a solution with this [three] word.
Looking at the word [three] on the tea table, the shrewd face of the black-clothed man flashed with a strange cold glow, and after a deep groan, he whispered to Chu Ge: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, and three to all things." All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. ”
Without waiting for Chu Ge to react, Wuyi Xiangshi then smiled and said: "The little brother's 'three' character is so good, the three characters are in line with the way of yin and yang and can give birth to all things, but I don't know if the little brother is willing to tell the name, see if the name of the little brother is in line with the way of the three lives and all things?"
After the Wuyi Xiangshi finished speaking, he poured a cup of Longjing tea by himself, and did not drink it, but he could vaguely see three tea leaves floating under the teacup, and the tea leaves were swirling with light light in the muddy yellow tea, like a big dim eyeball, staring closely in all directions, psychedelic and profound.
Chu Ge's eyes moved slightly, and the dimples next to the corners of his green mouth were as calm as ever: "Under the surname Chu Mingxinyu, a native of Shanye Village, there is no word and no number." ”
I wanted to say that my surname was Chu Mingge, but after thinking about it, there were many people here, and saying my real name was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so Chu Ge changed his name to his name.
"Chu Xinyu, Chu people are separated, and the heart yearns. The wings are full, and the heavens and the earth soar. Feather, language also. The black-clothed Xiangshi smiled deeply, his two cold eyes looked at the vast blue sky outside the windowsill, the black clouds shrouded the scorching light of the noon sun, and there happened to be a young eagle with wings spread under the black clouds practicing soaring: "It seems that in this seemingly simple [three] word, there is still the unfinished heart of the little brother Chu." ”
"Oh, why is that?" Chu Ge smiled, raised his right hand lightly, and asked.
The black clouds are still pressing down and floating in the city, the black-clothed Xiangshi chuckles, and the light of the treacherous waves rotates, as if he can see through the yin and yang: "The congenital number, Qianyi, Dui, Li, San, Zhen four, Xun five, Kan six, Gen seven, Kun eight." Therefore, the word [three] is also a hexagram. ”
"There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: the one who leaves the hexagram, Liye. The sun and the moon are beautiful in the sky, the grass and trees in the hundred grains are beautiful in the earth, and the re-brightness is beautiful and positive, and it is transformed into the world. Wuyi Xiangshi pointed to the word 'three' that had disappeared on the tea table, but his eyes were staring at Chu Ge's eyes, his eyebrows were deep, and he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: Therefore, I expected that Brother Chu's [three] word contained the meaning of wanting to transform the world, wanting to illuminate the world, and being beautiful in all directions. ”
Chu Ge was a little noncommittal, smiled, and there was some indifference in his black eyes: "Mr. asserts the words in my heart just based on a congenital hexagram, which is too far-fetched." ”
Chu Ge has also read the Book of Changes, there are hexagrams in the numbers, and there is reason in the hexagrams, and he also knows it. It's just that the avenue Paul Wanxiang contained in Yi Li, no matter what words are in the book, there is the truth of the world, this black-clothed Xiangshi takes the Book of Yi to solve the word theory, which is the usual trick of some Xiangshi who read the hexagram fortune teller to fool people, Chu Ge doesn't believe it very much.
When the black-clothed scholar heard this, his face was bright, and he didn't refute it, and a sharp light burst out of his weird pupils, and he laughed: "This is only this innate mathematics, of course I don't dare to make a conclusion." It is necessary to know that a certain thing must be in line with the time, place, and people, and all three are indispensable. ”
"This month is just the middle of spring, spring is wood, in the five elements, wood can be born from the fire, in line with the image of germination. Mid-spring February, is the month of the four yangs, its sun is prosperous and the moon is harmonious, at this time it is noon, the scorching sun is the most vigorous, and the fire is naturally bright and prosperous. Whether it is the month, the day, or the time, it is in line with the time of the day. ”
After the Wuyi Xiangshi finished speaking, he reached out and knocked lightly on the tea table, and the three tea leaves that were originally floating on the teacup instantly sank to the bottom of the cup, and the tea vortex was no longer illusory and floating, condensing in the cup, like dust settled.
If you want to see the beginning and end of a thing, it is nothing more than judging from the time, place and people, it is obvious that according to the Wuyi Xiangshi, these three words have been in line with the time!
"Oh. In this case, what about the location?" raised his eyebrows, listening to the words of the black-clothed minister, Chu Ge also became interested.
"It's a good location, but it's also simple. This place is the land of the Dali Dynasty, and I expect that Brother Chu is also from this southern region. The black-clothed man raised his head slightly, and his unhurried words revealed the principles of nature, and his smart eyes were still deep and determined: "Congenital gossip, leaving the third is from the fire, and the south is also from the fire." Leaving the top and leaving, adding fire to the fire, this fire is just like Brother Chu's heart now, once he gains power, he will be out of control. ”
With a pang in his heart, a heavy curiosity flashed in Chu Ge's deep eyes, and his interest became even stronger, and he said lightly: "But I don't know where this person is?"
His eyes flickered, and the black-clothed scholar did not directly answer Chu Ge's words, but raised his eyes to look around, and there was a hidden smile in the depths of his dark pupils, and asked Chu Ge: "According to Brother Chu, how many people are on the first floor of this Wenjin Teahouse?"
Chu Ge took a closer look, thought for a moment, and replied softly: "There are six tea drinkers, plus you and me, there are eight people in total. ”
His face remained unchanged, and a different kind of playfulness shot out of the black pupils of the black-clothed Xiangshi, and he muttered to Chu Ge: "There are eight people, and there is a number, there must be a number in the number, and these eight numbers are in line with the Kun Ba, the reason of the Kun hexagram." ”
"Kun, the earth, the earth is virtuous and gives birth to all things. There was a fire of separation from the hexagram before, and the existing land of the Kun hexagram is the fire of the scorching sun, shining on the image of the earth in all directions, so that the fire in Brother Chu's heart will be as clear as the sun, and sooner or later the earth in all directions will be illuminated bright and beautiful. ”
As soon as the words fell, he held a pot in his left hand and dipped his right hand lightly in tea.
Seeing this, Chu Ge's heart tightened, and his resolute face showed a trace of doubt: "Sir, what does this mean?"
"Lisan is the upper hexagram, Kunba is the lower hexagram, and the two hexagrams overlap, that is, the fire land Jin hexagram. The black-clothed man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was meditating.
Chu Ge also knew some gossip mathematics, but he was not very proficient in it, and asked with a little surprise: "Sir, what is the explanation of this fire land Jin hexagram?"
Unconsciously, Chu Ge became more and more interested in the words of the Wuyi Xiangshi, and his mood changed from calm to fluctuating.
"Those who enter the hexagram also enter, the sun rises and all things enter. Bright out of the ground, smooth and beautiful, soft and upward. His eyes opened slowly, and a cyan light burst out in the eyes of the black-clothed Xiangshi, and he pinched his fingers with his left hand, as if he could play with the theory of yin and yang in applause: "The Jin hexagram is the hexagram of the emperor, implying that the prince will be promoted." It is a hexagram from above, and those who have this hexagram must be self-evident and virtuous, and their hearts are towards all sentient beings, and they want to win the world. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on the strange face of the black-clothed man was very strong, and he leaned closer to Chu Ge, and then said slowly: "In this way, I expect that Brother Chu's [three] character has not yet been written, and what I really want to test in my heart should be this word." ”
After speaking, the weird corners of his mouth were bent into a domineering Phnom Penh Liu Yue, and the black-clothed Xiangshi tapped the tea with his right hand, and wrote a [three] word on the tea table, and after a slight pause, another vertical was added, and the three characters changed into a big "king" character.
The [Wang] written by the unclothed scholar emits purple light, and the font is upright and upright, like a purple light pagoda, flickering and wriggling on the tea table, blooming with heavy light, and it will not be extinguished for a long time.
Seeing the word [Wang] written by the Wuyi Xiangshi, Chu Ge sighed in his heart, and was surprised in his heart, but his face was still silent. Xin said: "This black-clothed man is so powerful, just a simple [three] word can see that I have the heart of a king." ”
As a son of the Shadow Demon Clan, Chu Ge has had the intention of rectifying the Shadow Demon Clan, strengthening the power of the Demon Clan, and chasing the Middle Earth since he was a child. Maybe it's because of the ambition revealed, or maybe the talent is too high, so it was plotted by people with a heart, and after being exposed to voodoo, his cultivation regressed in an instant, and he had to endure it all the time!
After finding out the current situation of the Shadow Demon Clan, Chu Ge already had the intention to compete for the position of the young patriarch of the Shadow Demon Clan, and he had already cultivated the magic spirit vein, given time, Chu Ge must make a difference.
This is the youthful spirit of the teenager, and it is also the original ambition of the teenager!
The tea mist is floating, the timbre is ethereal, the tea skills on the second floor of the Wenjin Tea House are playing the pipa while singing the folk songs of the Southern Regions, and the ballads are transmitted to Chu Ge's ears, and they are also quite suitable for the scene in their hearts, and they can be heard vaguely:
"Leaving people and returning to the south, my heart is slight. Lang Lang Qiankun, who is the king. The morning dew is cold, and the fields are in all directions. Where can the soul return to its hometown. Riding the wind, aiming in all directions. One day, I will become king. Under the whole world, whose country is the country. ”
"Now that my king has settled down?"
"Now my king, can I win the world?"
"Who is with me today, the king?"
"My king now, do you have someone to keep you company?"
"Who has become my king today?"
.......
.........
..........
The singing of tea skills is full of ears and melodious, and the aftermath is lingering. Chu Ge was able to listen to it for a while, his eyes were slightly closed, and the heart of the king was even greater.
At the end of the song, Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the black-clothed Xiangshi was also listening with his eyes closed, and thought to himself: "This person also has the heart of a king, and may be even more ambitious than mine." ”
A layer of purple divine light surrounded the body, and several blood-red phantoms suddenly appeared in the eyebrows of the black-clothed Xiangshi, and the blood-red phantoms were like small fire dragons, flickering with sharp coldness, swallowing clouds and spitting fog at the center of the eyebrows of the black-clothed Xiangshi, which was extremely surprising.
"This person must not be an ordinary fortune teller!" Chu Ge looked at Wu Zixu surrounded by purple glow, his pupils shrank, and when he looked up at the windowsill, he just saw a black-winged eagle, learning how to spread his wings and fly high in the Wu'an City Tower, the red eagle eyes of the young eagle exuded a red light, and the black and red eagle feathers were covered with an obvious layer of kingly domineering, making it look like the prototype of an eagle king, which made people dare not look down easily.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, Chu Ge's eyes were confused, and he forced himself to calm down: "I see that Mr. is very strong-hearted, and I dare to ask Mr., how can the young eagle be king?"
"No matter who or what you are, if you want to be the king, you must follow the way of the king!" His eyes moved slightly, and the black-clothed man opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly turned red and black: "The word [Wang], three horizontal and one vertical, three horizontal, the way of three talents, that is, the way of heaven, the way of the earth, and humanity." The upper one is horizontal, the lower one is horizontal, and the middle one is human, and those who penetrate the three ways of heaven, earth and man can be called kings. ”
"The one who penetrates the three realms of heaven, earth and man can be called a king!" Chu Ge's indifferent heart flashed a sudden clarity, and when he heard the words of the black-clothed minister, he was like an empowerment at the moment, and he woke up from a big dream.
Seeing that Chu Ge seemed to have an understanding, Wuyi Xiangshi continued: "Heavenly Daoist, Qianye." Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. Dazai Qianyuan, the beginning of all materials, is the domination of the sky. The clouds are raining, and the products are shaped. The Ming Dynasty has always been, and the six times are completed, and the six dragons are taken to the sky. Those who want to penetrate the way of heaven need to be self-reliant, struggle endlessly, and continue to become stronger in order to obtain the heavenly opportunity and understand the way of heaven. Self-improvement, indestructible, and submission from all directions, this is the power of the king. ”
Chu Ge nodded slightly, agreeing with the Wuyi Xiangshi's opinion.
With a chuckle, the black-clothed Xiangshi narrated: "Authentic, Kun Ye." The terrain is good, and the virtue is loaded. To Zai Kun Yuan, all materials are born. Kun is thick and loaded, and virtue is boundless. Those who want to penetrate the way of the earth need to adapt to the time of day, dormant and accumulate strength. Weakness defeats strength, this is the power of kings. ”
"Weakness is better than strength, the power of kings. Chu Ge muttered, and his understanding of the way of the earth deepened.
The black-clothed priest continued: "The humane one stands between heaven and earth, and secretly agrees with the way of the world. It only works the law of heaven and earth, and it must be as strong as the heavens, and as soft and powerful as the earth. In this way, we can have the heart of a king. When you can't be powerful, you need to know how to use force to turn the momentum and take advantage of the pressure. In this way, there can be some power. With the heart of a king, self-improvement, accumulation, and accumulation, one day he can become the king of people and reign over the world. ”
His heart moved slightly, Chu Ge's face was absolutely clear, and he realized something. Xin said: "I have the heart of a king, I need to gather the power of a king, accumulate the power of a king, take the opportunity to hibernat, taoguang and obscurity, and one day I will accumulate thick and thin hair and become the king of people." ”
After pondering for a moment, Chu Ge bowed his hand to the Wuyi Xiangshi: "Thank you, sir, for mentioning it, I am grateful." ”
After stopping his hand, a trace of inexplicable meaning suddenly flashed in the black pupils of the black-clothed man, and he shook his head and said lightly: "I am the one who came to send you to create, if you knew the truth, you would not say this, and then you will hate me not only ......."
The black-clothed Xiangshi didn't speak, he smiled slightly bitterly in his heart, he didn't know what he was thinking, his face flickered and darkened, and then, looking out of the window with a strange laugh, the young eagle in mid-air had learned to fly, at this time, a huge eagle flew in the sky, he flew high into the air with the eagle with sharp claws, and then threw it away, turned around, and flew into the distance.
The weak young eagle was suddenly discarded by the eagle, a little anxious, desperately flapping its wings, struggling in mid-air, after experiencing the danger of falling from a high altitude several times, finally mastered the balance between eagle feathers and nature, and learned to soar in the infinite sky.
With bright eyes, Chu Ge also saw the young eagle soaring in mid-air, but he was confused by the actions of the black-clothed Xiangshi, and his heart was full of doubts, and he had no intention of appreciating the majestic posture of the young eagle soaring in the air.
"How easy is it to penetrate the three realms of heaven, earth and man?" Holding the cloud flag in his hand, the ancient creatures on the cloud flag are fierce and vicious, all of them are full of bloody kingly spirit, seeing Chu Ge so confused, the black-clothed Xiangshi chuckled: "The vertical in the middle of the word [Wang] represents the king who runs through the three realms of heaven, earth and man, but it also indicates the calamity and suffering of the king that the king will go through. ”
Chu Ge was puzzled, and his face lit up: "The king's calamity is difficult and miserable?"
"Yes, you have a catastrophe right now?" the black-clothed man rolled his eyes, his eyes were shining, and his red and black eyes once again emitted a strange light.
"Oh, what calamity?" Chu Ge's eyelids jumped slightly, a little unbelieving.
"Love robbery. The black-clothed man said bluntly.
The black and white cloud flag in his hand was raised slightly, and the boundless dark clouds on the horizon suddenly became thicker, and the black-clothed man looked at the young eagle soaring outside the windowsill, and when he wanted to say something, he only heard a commotion outside the Wenjin Building, and a few good people rushed into the Wenjin Building, saying:
"Go out and see, the Mo Caiwei girl in Wu'an City has set up a ring and is competing to recruit relatives. ”
"Is it Miss Mo Caiwei of the Mo family who entered Wu'an City three years ago?"
"Yes, yes, yes, with a blue crystal ball in her hand, it's not her. Who else is there in this Wu'an City besides her cultivation of sacrificial techniques?"
Hearing everyone's words, a trace of inexplicable cunning flashed on the face of the black-clothed Xiangshi, as if he was thinking about it, and smiled at Chu Ge: "Brother Chu, would you like to follow me to see what this love tribulation is?"
