(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and pay attention to it to give more support to "Ming Dynasty Hexagram Master"!) Peng Qingchen said: "I will now start to tell you that it is highly confidential, and I have just said it, and you must not spread a word outside." The contents of the box are the things you said earlier in the Yamen mortuary that attracted the attention of our Jinyi Guard, the White Lotus. You can open it and take a look. ”
In fact, when Peng Qingchen asked people to bring things in just now, Yi Xingchen had a premonition that it was likely to be the White Lotus Lotus, the token of the White Lotus Sect, and now that Peng Qingchen confirmed this, sure enough, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. If this is the case, then what Peng Qingchen asked them to help him should be to arrest the people of the White Lotus Sect. This is not a good errand, the White Lotus Sect is not even afraid of the imperial court, dare to revolt and riot against the imperial court, and go against them, I am afraid that the end will be miserable. Why should you fall into it as a fortune teller?
So, Yi Xingchen made up his mind and tried not to help the other party with a fortune telling fortune. Anyway, judging from the current situation, even if they don't help Jinyiwei to calculate the hexagram later, then they have already helped them find the murderer who killed Xinghua, which is a little credit, and presumably Jinyiwei will not embarrass them.
Gongsun He carefully opened the box, and a small white lotus flower appeared in front of him. I don't know what the texture of this white lotus is, the petals are as thin as silkworm wings, lifelike, and ready to bloom, and it looks very cute.
Of course, Gongsun He knew who the White Lotus Sect was, and in recent years, the White Lotus Sect disciples had rebelled many times and fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. When Gongsun He heard that this incident was related to them, he was already frightened, and his body was trembling. His thoughts were the same as Yi Xingchen's, and he really didn't want to wade into this troubled water. However, it is easy to enter the door of Jinyiwei, and if you want to get out safely, I am afraid it is not so easy.
Gongsun He's frightened look was not strange to Peng Qingchen, but most of the people who talked about the White Lotus Sect in front of him had this expression, for fear of provoking him.
Peng Qingchen asked for them, so naturally he wouldn't make them too nervous, so he showed a rare smile, waved his hand, and his tone slowed down a little: "Don't worry, you two, although the White Lotus Sect is rampant, but, like rats crossing the street, we will completely eradicate them sooner or later, if the two of you can help us catch the White Lotus Sect bandits, we will be grateful." ”
Gongsun He cautiously smiled and said, "I don't know what the eldest master needs us to help with?" ”
Peng Qingchen said: "The White Lotus Sect leader, the rudder master, and the hall master all use the lotus flower as a token. Among them, the token of the hall master is the white lotus. The hall master leads a congregation and is an important leader of the White Lotus Sect. It is reported that we have a hall of the White Lotus Sect in Tunzhou. And this thing was found at the murder scene where the master and servant of Xinghua were killed. We tortured the captured murderer, the woodcutter, and he said that the thing was not his, and he was not from the White Lotus Sect. After preliminary verification, we determined that he was not lying, and that this woodcutter had indeed not joined the White Lotus Sect, but was just an ordinary woodcutter. Previously, we had interrogated Cuixianglou** and others, and we didn't find anyone from Xinghua or Cuixianglou related to the White Lotus Sect. Since Xinghua and her maid died, how did this lotus white lotus come about, and it is not clear now. I invited the two of you to come to the yamen, the purpose is to ask the two of you to calculate a hexagram and see why this White Lotus Sect token appears in an old ** house in Cuixiang Building? Who is its owner? In what place? As I said, if you two can do me a favor, I will be grateful. ”
Gongsun He kept nodding his head, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, he didn't want to fall into it, but the officials of Jinyiwei asked him to tell the hexagram to find the disciples of the White Lotus Sect, if he didn't count, he would definitely not be able to pass this level. Thinking of this, Gongsun He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then the old man will calculate a hexagram for the eldest master and see if he can find the owner of this white lotus." It's just that the old man is only shallow in learning, and where the hexagram is not right, the old man will take care of it. ”
Unexpectedly, Peng Qingchen's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "It must be accurate!" You calculated so accurately before, if you can't calculate it now, you can only say that you don't care! That official can only wonder if you are secretly colluding with the White Lotus Sect? ”
Gongsun He was so frightened that he waved his hands and said: "The eldest lord is clear, my apprentice and I have been setting up stalls on the streets of Tengzhou, Tunzhou for many years, and I am an honest and responsible people, even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't dare to collude with the White Lotus bandits." ”
"Then prove it with hexagrams! If you are right, I have caught the owner of this White Lotus, which proves that you have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, and this official will have a heavy reward. Otherwise, hehe......"
Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard it on the side, the little flag of Jinyiwei is really unreasonable, maybe it means that there is collusion with the White Lotus Sect, how can there be such logic? It's just that he knows that Jinyiwei is used to being rampant and domineering in history, but he is afraid that this is also their usual practice, using this method to force each other. If this is the case, it will be difficult to stay out of the matter yourself.
Gongsun He didn't dare to distinguish anymore, so he had to take one step at a time, and turned back to Yi Xingchen and said, "Bring rice." ”
Yi Xingchen hurriedly took out a small bag of rice for fortune-telling from his arms, held it in both hands, and sent it to Peng Qingchen.
Gongsun He followed, stood next to him and smiled and said, "Please make rice, just three times." Before the rice, please pray silently in your heart for divination, so that it will work. ”
Peng Qingchen nodded. The Ming Dynasty numerology and hexagram is very popular, most of the people in the officialdom know some numerology and hexagram knowledge, this brocade guard Xiaoqi also knows the rules of hexagram telling, stood up and dressed neatly, and then paced to the door to stand still, arched his hands and looked at the sky, prayed silently in his heart, read the things he wanted to ask for divination, and then turned back, reached out and took three small handfuls of rice from the bag, put them on the table, and then clapped his hands, stood aside and looked at Gongsun He.
When Peng Qingchen was silently praying to the sky, Yi Xingchen had already made a hexagram in his heart.
Because Peng Qingchen's words just now made him feel a lot of pressure, which made his original decision not to use the hexagram to help Peng Qingchen find the owner of the white lotus, and now, he wants to calculate a hexagram to see what the results will be if they help or not?
Therefore, when Peng Qingchen got up and began to pace, Yi Xingchen began to count the steps under his feet silently in his heart, and he walked exactly eight steps, which belonged to the Kuntu hexagram as the upper hexagram. Seeing that Peng Qingchen was facing the south, he took the Lihuo hexagram represented by the south as the next hexagram.
The lower part is away from the upper kun, which is called the earth fire Ming Yi hexagram. The hexagram is that the sun is gradually sinking into the horizon, and the scripture of the hexagram reads "Mingyi, Li Jianzhen". Translated into this, this hexagram is used for divination and asking about difficult things. Isn't this the choice I am currently facing? It can be seen that this hexagram is accurate.
So, he used the current number of hours to take the moving line in the fifth.
As soon as he was sure, he already knew the result. -- The Hexagram of Earthfire and Ming Yi itself says that the sun sinks into the horizon, that is, hides its light, which means not to reveal one's wisdom and abilities. And the epigram of the fifth line is: "The Mingyi of the Jizi, Lizhen." Translated into meaning, like a basket, deliberately obscuring one's own wisdom is conducive to asking questions.
Jizi was a nobleman in the Shang Dynasty, the king of Shang was extravagant, ignoring the government and politics, and Jizi repeatedly refused to listen, but made the king of Shang have murderous intentions. Jizi pretended to be insane, so the king of Shang only imprisoned him and did not kill him. Later, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Jizi was released. This is the story of "Minoko no Mingyi".
Whether it is from the scriptures of the earth and fire hexagram itself, or from the fifth line, remind yourself to hide your abilities and not to reveal them. This is to remind yourself not to use fortune-telling to help the other party find the owner of this white lotus. Don't let the other person know your actual ability to tell hexagrams.
Yi Xingchen had already come up with the answer in his mind, and he was calm in his heart. ―――――――――――――――――――――ps: Thank you for the tips from the following book friends: Jingyi 0903 rewarded 500 starting coins Daniel_ Gao Bo rewarded 588 starting coins winter melon does not repractice 500 starting points CoinFei Du rewarded 100 starting points CoinFei Du rewarded 500 starting coins (My novel "Ming Dynasty Hexagram Master" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
