Chapter 17 Count a Hexagram

Meng Cangsheng once wanted to accept Wu Ning as an apprentice, and now this Xiao Daoist also wants to accept Wu Ning as an apprentice.

Wu Ning couldn't figure it out, are you so "hungry and thirsty"?

He didn't know, but he really did.

There is a Buddhist saying: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground".

Buddhism is about sentient beings, as long as they are willing to be good, even the devil can join us, so Buddhist disciples are all over the world.

So much so that since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, you have to go through strict government review before you can take up your post, otherwise you will have no one to pay taxes if you go to become a monk.

And Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation and inaction, to put it bluntly, it is pure and high, and play your own game.

Therefore, even if the emperors of all dynasties who believed in the Tao and sought immortality one by one, the era of respecting Taoism as the state religion is innumerable, but no matter how prosperous it is, it has never reached the huge scale of the "480 Temples of the Southern Dynasty".

And Taoism is not like Buddhism, and its entry threshold is also extremely high.

Removing those who deceive the world and steal fame and fish in troubled waters, the real Taoist masters are basically "all-rounders".

Not only must we know yin and yang, but also know the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, know the medicine and distinguish medicine, the subset of scriptures and history, and look for the dragon and look at the appearance, which are all compulsory courses.

Medical fortune is also the foundation, those Taoist priests who have left their names in history, which one is not a person who can know astronomy, understand geography, hold the world in a teacup, and have a lot of things in his sleeve?

Pick out any of these things, it is enough for ordinary people to learn for a lifetime, not to mention knowing everything and learning everything.

Orthodox Taoist heirs, without a little talent, it is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Taoists are generally masters looking for apprentices, and it is already considered lucky to meet a person who barely has some qualifications, and if it is unlucky, it may not be able to find a successor for the rest of his life.

Whether it's Meng Cangsheng or Xiao Daoren, it's hard to meet Wu Ning such a "wonderful", do you think you can easily let it go?

......

But then again, Xiao Daoren thought so, Wu Ning didn't want to.

Xiao Daoren looks at him as wonderful, does he look at Xiao Daoren as wonderful?

Speaking of which, Wu Ning can barely be regarded as a person who has lived two generations, even so, looking at the past and present lives, and then scanning the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries, he has not found a Taoist priest who is more shameless, more vulgar, and more money-loving than Xiao Daoren.

First of all, look at the broken Taoist temple where he lives, and ask the immortal view!

This clearly tells the pilgrims that this is a place to seek immortals and ask for hexagrams, and it costs money.

Moreover, this old way shamelessly declared to the outside world that Qianxian Guan had been leading the Heavenly Monarch in Fangzhou since the former Qin Dynasty and enjoying the incense.

Fart, this cowhide is blowing, Wu Ning can't even complain.

Also before Qin? Just fool the ignorant people. Everyone with a little bit of culture knows that the origin of Taoism, whether it is Taiping Tao or Tianshi Dao, is a matter of the Han Dynasty.

Lao and Zhuang were invited to the altar after the Wei and Jin dynasties, and after Confucianism demonized Taoism, it arose.

Still Qin? Your Tianjun hasn't been born yet, where did you come from to ask the immortal view?

Also, Meng Cangsheng wanted to take Wu Ning as an apprentice, so that Wu Ning became a big brother. But Na Cheng thought, fooled Daoist Meng, and came to Daoist Xiao, he also wanted to accept Wu Ning as an apprentice, but he still couldn't fool him.

In the past five years, this sharp-headed Xiao Laodao has annoyed Wu Ning many times, and when he has the opportunity, "Poor Dao pinched his fingers, you and I are destined!" ”

......

Thanks to your uncle!

Wu Ning would rather be a fugitive than suffer that living crime by the side of this thief who loves money, is obscene, and smelly.

Just look at Meng Cangsheng, after this thing goes down the mountain, how chic and heroic is the sword warrior? What is so rich and powerful? Back then, Wu Ning wanted to go to the rivers and lakes with him.

However, once I went back to Changluo Mountain......

Ga!

immediately wilted, languishing under the obscenity of Xiao Daoren, like a little daughter-in-law, the atmosphere dared not to breathe.

Wu Ning is also wondering, you can kill people with a sword, you can deliver babies with your hand, you open your mouth to learn the truth, and you are a character who kneels on the ground and shouts for help, okay? Why is it that meeting Xiao Daoren is like a mouse seeing a cat?

"Brother Meng."

For Xiao Daoren, Wu Ning didn't bother to take care of him, walked to Meng Cangsheng's side, and lowered his voice, "Why did you bring your master here?" ”

Meng Cangsheng lowered his head, raised his eyelids and peeked at Xiao Daoren, and muttered in a low voice: "He is coming, how can I stop him!?" ”

Fart, as soon as I looked at my expression, I knew that I was sold by this cheap big brother.

sighed: "The human heart is not ancient. ”

But there's no way, everyone is coming, and you can't get rid of it even if you get rid of it.

Extremely reluctantly, he said: "Then there is Chief Lao Xiao." ”

"That's right!" Xiao Daoren was happy, "Between you and me, where are there so many politeness?" ”

“......”

Speechless, Wu Ning was speechless, this old man learned to climb the pole again.

......

——————————

Shangliang asked the gods to hang the town house, not only in the Tang Dynasty is a must follow the rules for building houses and beams, even in later generations, it is also an indispensable step to ask for an auspicious step.

Although Wu Ning didn't believe in these things, he followed the customs of the locals, and also saved the chatter of the old ancestor, so he naturally let Xiao Daoren toss.

First, the altar was opened, incense was burned, and it was offered; Then rattle the bell to ward off evil spirits, and ask Sanqing to go down to the town.

This is a bit different from later generations. The Tang Dynasty Liang is dedicated to the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, but the house beam in the countryside in later generations is offered to Jiang Ziya.

As for why? Because the current Jiang Taigong is still only Jiang Taigong, he has not yet sealed the god list with his left hand, and started "Romance of the Gods" with his right hand, which is a matter of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Taigong of the Tang Dynasty is not so godly, and he can only help the Sanqing Dao Ancestor a lot.

After working for more than an hour, it was almost noon, and Xiao Dao had received his magical powers.

If you change to someone else's house, it's time to pay for it. But when it comes to Wu Ning, it's different, he doesn't be polite to the old Taoist.

However, the meal still has to be eaten, and everyone who has been hungry all morning can finally eat at this time.

"Where's the wine?" As soon as Xiao Daoren sat there, he began to ask for wine.

"After a busy morning for the teacher, you can't even go without wine, right?"

Wu Ning was not polite to him, and he naturally was not polite to Wu Ning.

"Can you shorten a drink?" Wu Ning reluctantly brought the wine jar.

"Let's say it first, the Taoist is also a well-known half-immortal body, so don't forget to talk wildly."

Sitting down next to the old Taoist priest, he muttered while pouring wine for everyone: "I didn't promise to recognize you as a master." ”

Everyone ate on the side and watched the excitement. This Xiao Dao is also a figure in Fangzhou, but he made a conflict with Wu Ning, and it is not the first time that everyone sitting here has seen this scene.

"Haha." Xiao Daoren laughed out loud.

"It's okay if you don't admit it now, sooner or later. Poor road pinching fingers ......"

"Stop!"

Again? Wu Ning really couldn't stand it.

"Tell you, don't come to that!"

Pointing to the halfway earthen house behind him, "I really want to calculate, let me calculate the luck of my inn, can I prosper financially?" ”

"Inn?" Xiao Daoren squinted and asked.

"Huh."

"Huh..... Scold? ”

Wu Ning is not calm again, what kind of hexagram is "hehe"? Don't you know that "hehe" means something else to us?

"You're going to open an inn in Xiashan Pass? Do you think you can prosper financially? Without waiting for Wu Ning to make any more moves, Xiao Daoren spoke again.

"Yes!" Wu Ning stiffened his neck, "I can really prosper financially." ”

"Huh."

Another hehe, "It's strange to make money!" ”

I saw Xiao Daoren twisting his fingers into a hexagram, and quickly calculated, "This year is the ugly year, the heavenly stem is fire, and the next year Gengyin is a water ......."

"Jiulang's eight characters are the first moment of the day of the month of the month of the year of Jiaxu, which belongs to the wood, and it is the wood buried in the earth."

“......”

After counting for a while, he looked at Wu Ning, "Looking at the hexagram, this year and next year, not only will you not have any luck, but you will also be ruined." And the tiger demon rushes to the moon, there will be a bloody catastrophe! ”

"Oh?" Wu Ning raised his eyebrows, "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

“......”

Xiao Daoren groaned for a while, "It's hard to ....."

"However, it's not lifeless, you need the help of nobles to turn evil into good fortune!"

"Sure enough." Wu Ning said secretly, "I know that you have to come back with this car." ”

Fortune tellers like Xiao Daoren, in later generations, he has seen a lot. These people never talk to death, no matter what, they have a reason and make sense. I believe you!

Pouted and said, "The mana of the Dao Master is still not deep enough!" ”

Xiao Daoren lifted the bull, "Yes or not, let's see if the master and apprentice are walking." It doesn't hurt to look at this time next year, you can afford to wait! ”

"Not next year." Wu Ning shook his head. "It's time to verify."

"Huh?" Xiao Daoren frowned, not quite understanding, "Now? How to verify! ”

"I'll ask you." Wu Ning's heart was already happy, and this old way was lost.

"I don't have any money, do I?"

"That's right."

"And the Bloodlight Plague, right?"

"Hexagram is like this!"

"You have to help you to resolve it, right?"

"Hmm." Xiao Daoren nodded seriously, "And it has to be a famous noble person who can suppress your bad luck." ”

"Oh, that long hexagram didn't count it, the great noble man of the boy...... Is that the Taoist chief you? ”

"I didn't count."

"Huh?" Xiao Daoren was stunned.

"Poor Dao? What nonsense are you talking about, kid? ”

"It's nonsense." Wu Ning showed a look of victory firmly, "Whether my inn can be prosperous or not depends on whether the Taoist chief can help or not." ”

"Help...... How can it help? ”

When Wu Ning heard this, he said in his heart, "It's you who are waiting for." ”

leaned into Xiao Daoren's ear, "It's not a big deal, as long as the Taoist changes the time of the hexagram." ”

"For example, on a single day every month, only the yin qi of the yang is collected at dusk; On the double day, it is only in the morning, when the morning glow is in full bloom. Isn't that kid's inn a business? ”

"Ahh!!h

Xiao Daoren spurted out a mouthful of old blood and looked at Wu Ning with a shocked expression.

This.... This bastard is waiting here for the poor road!

......

Divination at dusk and sunset on a single day, and hexagram at the time of birth of a sunrise on a double day.

picked these two times, Xiao Daoren is not stupid, as long as he uses his brain a little, he can understand what Wu Ning's idea is.

Let's talk about this single day at dusk, after the pilgrims have a lesson, it is dark, where to go? Return? The city gate has been closed a long time ago, which gate is it back to?

In addition, in the early morning of the two days, after the lesson, the sky is bright, and the city gate is open, so you can go home with confidence.

But how did you get here?

Changluo Mountain is also five miles away from the city, and if you want to catch up with the rising sun, you have to get up and go to the mountain on the fourth watch.

But the fourth watch, let alone the city gate, the gate is not open, why are you coming? Unless you go out of town the night before and wait in the mountains.

The question is, where do the pilgrims who can't go back to the city and leave the city early live?

This Wu Laojiu is too damaged, and even the rhetoric has helped him think of it:

The morning and dusk, the yin and yang of heaven and earth, are more accurate!

......

——————————————

I have a headache, it's already two o'clock in the middle of the night after writing, your sister-in-law is asleep, no one corrects it, let's send it again in the morning.

took the opportunity to give a big envelope topic at the starting point to help Cangshan promote the new book.

......

Some book friends asked why Cangshan was called "Mastiff Tang", and some even said that it was "Dog Tang" if it was not "Dog Tang"?

In fact, there is nothing too deep, and the guest officials who are familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty will understand it when they think about it.

Starting from Li Yuan, this old man was born in a troubled era, with Yang Guang on it, and Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Yuwen next to him..... Fight your way out of the siege and build the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin, killed his brother and killed his brother, forced Li Yuan to abdicate, and had to reign in the world.

Li Zhi, although this guy is not ruthless enough, but it was after he survived Li Chengqian and Li Tai that he became the only heir among the three sons of Empress Changsun.

Counting Wu Zetian further, this old lady has seen so much blood and broken stepping stones along the way, so naturally there is no need to say more.

And then there's Li Xian.

He, like Li Zhi, is not ruthless enough, and he is a bit of a wretch. But facts have proved that in this family without father-son affection, Li Hong and Li Xian in front of him, including Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, are just the foreshadowing of his two ascensions to the throne.

However, it is precisely because he is not ruthless enough and a bit of a wretch, so Li Xianyuan is not as simple as his father, his mother, and his grandfather, because he missed his own brother Li Dan.

As a result, Li Dan and his son Li Longji began to repeat the cycle of their ancestors.

Li Xian, Wei's, An Le, and Taiping, these people have become sacrifices on their way to promotion.

......

In Cangshan's view, choosing a king is like choosing a mastiff, nine deaths and one life, and a hundred refinements into a mastiff.

The entire five generations of the Li family are the last to win the mastiff group.

So, when the story was conceived, the name "Mastiff Tang" was decided.

Dog Tang is dog Tang, we just need to know what is going on.
