Middle-earth, the House of the Stars.

Now Jiang Duyun is already the next palace master of the Star Palace, and he has a lot of fame in the entire Middle-earth Divine Prefecture. Qi practitioners are like this, if they find an opportunity, they can ascend to the sky in one step. Unlike physical cultivation, physical cultivation can only be achieved by practicing step by step.

Now that the Great Wall of China is being built in the Two Realms Mountain, some of Jiang Duyun's senior sisters have packed up their things and rushed to the Two Realms Mountain. Although the Star Palace is all women, whenever they encounter major events, they are no worse than other monks of the Yunhai Immortal Sect.

It's the same now.

Jiang Duyun was wearing a thin shirt embroidered with stars, full of aura. After coming to the Star Palace, she is no longer as thin as before, but grows longer and more watery, standing on the top of the mountain, it is a beautiful landscape.

She watched the senior sisters leave, not knowing what she was thinking until the night.

Looking up at the night sky, there are seven bright stars in the shape of buckets and spoons in the northern sky, which are particularly eye-catching, which are known as the Big Dipper. The North Star can be seen when the two stars are connected and extended five times to see the North Star, which can help people find their way at night. The Dipper rotates slowly counterclockwise around the North Star, with the handle facing east in spring, south in summer, west in autumn, and north in winter.

"Turning the stars" has become an idiom used to describe the passage of time, and this magical sight has made people have a special worship of the North Star and the Big Dipper. Polaris always sitting, like the Emperor of Heaven. The Big Dipper revolves around the North Star, like a minister.

If you want to meet the Emperor of Heaven, you have to go through the ministers.

The ancients made the rice measuring utensils into a bucket shape, and called the bucket Hu, to show that the rice grain was given by God. In Chang'an City, Middle-earth, there is a kind of building that is built in the shape of a bucket, symbolizing "the granary of the world and the rich people".

Inspired by the tireless rotation of the Big Dipper around the North Star, the Book of Changes wrote the famous phrase "Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement", encouraging people to work hard and never relax.

The exercises of the astrological house are cultivated according to the astrological signs.

Therefore, Jiang Duyun standing here is also a kind of cultivation.

The Douxing is composed of seven bright stars: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang. The seven stars are connected to form a bucket shape. The first four stars are the fighting body, collectively known as the "Kui Star". After the three stars for the bucket handle, collectively known as "Gangxing". Daomen absorbed the star worship of the ancients, and deified the Big Dipper into the seven star monarchs of "Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, and Broken Army", and the life span of the world, so there is a saying that "the Beidou Lord dies, and the Nandou Lord lives". Therefore, worshipping the Hokuto or offering bucket lanterns at the Obon Festival is a way to pray for the elimination of disasters and blessings and immortality.

Jiang Duyun's nominal master had already led the team to the Two Realms Mountain, and her emaciated figure stood on the top of the mountain, a little lonely.

In order to observe the celestial phenomena, people divide the starry sky in the sky into 31 heavenly areas. The three walls refer to the Zihui Wall near the North Heavenly Pole, which represents the location of the Heavenly Emperor, and the Taihui Wall and Tianshi Wall that orbit the Heavenly Emperor. The 28 Nakshatras are 28 constellations divided into stars visible in the ecliptic.

The people also divided the twenty-eight camps into the south, east, and west

Four groups, named after the four spirits, called the four elephants. The Oriental Green Dragon, with seven nights, such as horns, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei, etc., is more than 300 stars, like a dragon. And because the five elements of the East belong to the wood, the color is blue, so it is called the green dragon.

The southern Vermilion Bird, there are seven houses, such as well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, Ji, Zhen, etc., a total of more than 500 stars, like a flying finch. And because the five elements in the south belong to fire, the color is red, so it is called the red bird. The white tiger in the west has seven nights, such as Kui, Lou, stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and ginseng, with a total of more than 700 stars, like a leaping tiger. Because the five elements of the West belong to gold and are white, it is called the White Tiger;

In the northern Xuanwu, there are seven houses, such as fighting, bull, female, void, danger, room, wall, etc., a total of more than 800 stars, and they form the image of the intersection of snakes and turtles. The five elements in the north belong to water, the color is black, the black is Xuan, the snake scale tortoise shell is martial, so it is called Xuanwu.

The Daomen evolved the four spirits in the cult of the stars into the guardian gods of the four directions. "Hug Puzi" said that Lao Jun "has 12 green dragons on the left, 26 white tigers on the right, 24 vermilion birds in front, and 72 Xuanwu in the back" as a guard. The Taoist temple mountain gate also has a green dragon on the left, and a white tiger on the right acts as a door god.

Daomen also believes that each constellation has a god general, collectively known as the twenty-eight gods. When the monks are doing the Jiao Practice, they often summon the 28 gods to descend to the earth to eliminate demons and subdue demons.

There are many decisions in the Star Palace, which are related to the Daomen, and I don't know what the ancestral master has to do with the Daomen. Now Jiang Duyun doesn't know much about the ancestor who passed on his skills.

Because she is very mysterious, so mysterious that sometimes Jiang Duyun will wonder if this person really exists.

On the top of the Star Palace, Jiang Duyun stretched out his hand and made a Tai Chi gesture.

Taijitu, commonly known as the yin-yang fish, is the representative pattern of the Daomen. Black and white represent the two sides of yin and yang, the two parts of heaven and earth, and the boundary between black and white is the human part between heaven and earth, yin and yang. The black dots in white indicate that there is yin in yang, and the white dots in black represent yin and yang, reflecting the idea of "opposites complement each other" and "harmonious coexistence" of Taoism.

"Tai" means to the extreme, and "extreme" is the limit. "Tai Chi" includes not only the ultimate principle, but also the maximum and small limits of time and space. The so-called "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things" is "Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, and Yin and Yang merge to give birth to all things".

The universe is infinitely large and tangible. Tangible things come from the invisible, so Wuji gives birth to Taiji. The universe is in constant motion, and when it moves, it produces yang energy, and when it moves to a certain extent, it becomes relatively still, and when it is still, it produces yin energy.

The same is true of the natural world, yin and yang, cold and summer, the law of growth of all things, all contain the five elements of yin and yang. As far as the human department is concerned, "the dry road becomes a man, and the Kun road becomes a woman". When yin and yang meet, all things are born. Everything grows according to this law, and the changes are endless.

The word "hexagram" of gossip is from Gui Congbu.

"Kei" refers to Tukei, which is a clay earthen pillar used to measure the shadow of the sun. "Bu" means to measure, people set up Tugui to measure the shadow of the sun, from the four corners of the eight directions to summarize and record the observed shadow of the sun, and gradually evolved into the image of the eight trigrams.

The most basic unit of Bagua is the "爻", which is a special symbol that describes the change of the shadow of the sun. "Yao" has yin

There are two types of yang, "—" is yang to represent sunshine, and "--" is yin to represent moonlight.

Each hexagram has three lines, representing the three talents of heaven, earth and man. The celestial part of Sancai, which includes the entire celestial movement and meteorological changes, is called astronomy. The earth refers to the method of calculating the annual cycle by observing the shadow of the sun, which is geography. The Ministry of Human Affairs refers to the combination of astronomy, geography, and human affairs in order to produce and live according to these laws. The order of each hexagram is from the bottom up, the lowest horizontal is called the first line, the middle one is called the second line, and the first horizontal line is called the third line.

Bagua represents eight basic objects: dry is the sky, kun is the earth, earthquake is thunder, Xun is the wind, Gen is the mountain, Dui is Ze, Kan is water, and Li is fire, commonly known as the sutra hexagram, which is composed of two of the eight sutra hexagrams as a group of permutations and combinations, which constitute sixty-four hexagrams.

Among them, the hexagram "Qian" and "Kun" are the most important.

In addition to the legal decision of the Star Palace, Jiang Duyun was also reading Daomen's "Taishang Induction Chapter".

"Taishang Induction Chapter" is referred to as "Induction Chapter". Its central idea is that the Taoist ancestors taught the teachings, and the ten directions were transformed and the people were universally studied. Teach people not to do all evil, and to do all good. If the classics are the way for people to prove the truth of sainthood, "Taishang Induction Chapter" is the cornerstone of the Taoist monks' enlightenment and immortality. The house of good will be blessed by heaven, and the house of evil will be brought by heaven" summarizes the relationship between karma and karma, and promotes the idea of "heaven and man induction" and karma throughout the article.

"Taishang Induction Chapter" is to let people live in peace and happiness, be content and simple, and avoid right and wrong and resentment. It is believed that "there is no greater sin than desire, no greater misfortune than discontent, and no greater blame than desire". In this way, the creed of "all good and filial piety first, all evil and fornication first" was proposed. Ask people to sit quietly and think about their own mistakes, and talk about others. To behave in the world, you must have a "normal heart and a compassionate heart". We should do good deeds extensively, and do not fail to do good and small things that are not beneficial, and do not do evil things without harm. We are well aware of the truth that "if you don't accumulate small goodness, you can't become a great virtue, and if you don't stop doing small evils, you will eventually become a big mistake".

Therefore, the Taoist ancestor said: "Ji people, good words, good deeds, one day has three good, three years of heaven will be blessed, evil people, evil words, evil deeds, one day there are three evils, three years of heaven will fall."

Daomen has such a couplet to compare "good and evil" and "cause and effect": the yang world is a traitor, and it is up to oneself to endure and harm reason. Yin Si retribution, who has been spared throughout the ages. Accumulating goodness is like "the grass of the spring garden, which does not see its growth, but increases day by day". Doing evil is like "sharpening the knife stone, not seeing its loss, but losing every day." Therefore, the Taoist ancestor admonished: "There is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves."

Daozu once said: "There is no way for people to bring good and evil, and they are completely brought by themselves." Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. Just like a figure follows the form, there is no mistake. ”

Therefore, between heaven and earth, there are gods who are in charge of faults, and they reduce their lives according to the severity of their crimes. Not only was his life expectancy reduced, but he was also punished for poverty loss. Tribulations poured in, and everyone hated him, and punishment and evil followed. Auspicious things have no part of him. Evil and evil afflicted him. When the age of life has been reduced, it is the time of death.

Insects, plants and trees, but not harm. If someone has something unlucky, you should have mercy on him and be glad that others do good deeds. When others are in urgent need, they can help

Help. When someone is in danger, save him immediately. People and I are one, and the gains and losses of others are equal to our own gains and losses. Do not publicize the shortcomings of others, do not boast about your own strengths.

Stop the evil, praise the good, give more to others, and take less for yourself. To be bullied, not to be resentful, to be pampered, to be seen as frightened as if it had fallen from the sky, and to intensify the accumulation of merits. Give favors and do not ask for anything in return. Give alms to people without regrets.

The so-called good man, everyone respects him, God will bless him, he deserves blessings, and he does not ask for it. The evil god and the evil star fear him and dare not offend him, and the spirits of the gods protect him everywhere, and he will succeed in everything he does, and he can achieve his wish to become a god and become an immortal. The immortals are full of form and spirit, and they are in harmony with the Tao, and they must do 1,300 good deeds. The earth immortals are neither hungry nor thirsty, and the cold and heat are not invaded. Do three hundred good deeds.

If you think about improper things, do things contrary to reason, do bad things, say that you are capable, forbear to kill people or things, secretly harm good people, deceive the head of state or parents behind your back, be arrogant to teachers, do not fulfill your responsibilities to your own duties, deceive laymen, slander classmates, wronged good people with false truths, deceive people with falsehoods, and find fault with relatives of the same clan. Attacking his selfishness, his temperament is violent and unkind, his temperament is fierce and obedient, he insists on going his own way, and does not listen to good advice. Take the wrong as the right, and the right as the wrong.

Get close to the wicked and the wicked, and stay away from the good and the good. In order to strive for merit, regardless of the people's suffering, in order to seek favor, he did not hesitate to use deceptive methods to pat himself on the back to cater to the meaning of the peak. Accepting favors from others without thanking or repaying them, being bullied by others, holding grudges, and thinking endlessly.

Look down on the people and don't pay attention to the people's feelings. Not for the country and the people, but illegal and chaotic. reward the wrongdoer, and punish the innocent. Murder for money, use stratagem to make people lose lawsuits, and then take the opportunity to replace them. Kill those who surrender to the city, expel the righteous, and reject the virtuous. Insulting orphans and persecuting widows. Accepting bribes and not handling the incident in accordance with the law is unclear about the merits and is blind only because of bribery.

Misdemeanors are punished heavily. When he saw a man who was about to be put to death, he did not mourn, but was angry with him. Shameless, loss of conscience, their own sins, deliberately involving others, and keeping the skills of helping the world and health care secret and not public. ridicule and slander the sages and persecute the virtuous. Shoot birds, chase away beasts, dig up stinging insects, frighten perching birds, destroy cave nests, make insects, birds and animals uninhabitable, injure pregnant animals, and break their eggs.

Servitude to the people, and harassment of the people. Bankrupting a man, taking advantage of his treasures, destroying embankments or setting fires, destroying other people's homes, killing and wounding lives. Someone else's business has a scale, and deliberately mess up it, so that the previous achievements are wasted and cannot succeed. Damage to someone else's utensils and belongings, making him unusable. Seeing the glory of others, I hope that he will be dismissed. Someone else gets rich and hopes that he will go bankrupt and lose his family. When he saw the beauty of his wife and daughter, he became lustful.

I owe someone money and hope that he will die and not have to pay the debt. If you can't fulfill your desires, you curse and hate others. When people are unsatisfactory, they talk about his usual mistakes. When he sees a man who is ugly in appearance, he does not pity him, but ridicules him, and when he sees that he is talented, he does not praise him, but belittles him.

Secretly bury Gu poison, use evil magic and magic to charm people, and use poison to kill flowers and trees

Grievances and disputes with family members are unbearable, and men are unfaithful and do not do good. Women are not gentle and submissive. The husband does not treat his wife well, causing disharmony in the family, and the wife does not respect her husband. Between husband and wife, the words are often exaggerated and untrue. and often jealous and suspicious.

For the 170 sins listed above, the God who commands them shall take death for their grave sins, according to the magnitude of their sins, and if they do not cover the sins, their descendants shall bear the retribution of the calamity. Using evil forces or other improper means to extract other people's gold and silver treasures. And whoever takes the calamity more than is offset by his wife's family.

If you are lucky enough not to die, there will be retribution for floods, fires, robberies, thieves, lost utensils, sickness, lawsuits, quarrels, etc., and the severity of the retribution is equal to the value of taking money from others. Greed or willful unjust murder. It is the disaster of the sword-changing soldiers that repays him, and it is difficult to escape death. Taking ill-gotten wealth is like eating poisonous meat to satisfy hunger and drinking poisonous wine to quench thirst.

If the thought is good or evil, the good and the bad have been decided.

Once did evil, wake up and repent in the future, don't take evil as small, don't do good and small, and then you can change, and the good is great. Put down the butcher's knife and become enlightened. It's not a lie of the ancients.

Efforts start from speaking, seeing, and acting, the murderer speaks evil, sees evil, and does evil, and if there are three evils in one day, God will definitely bring disaster to him in three years. Why don't you encourage the practice of induction?

Jiang Duyun stretched out his hand, gathered a few clouds in the sky, and then kneaded them into a ball and stuffed them into his mouth.

At this time, a staggering figure stepped forward and put the thick robe in his hand on Jiang Duyun's body.

Jiang Duyun turned around and blamed: "Mother, I have said many times, it is windy here, and it is not good for your health. ”

Jiang Duyun and her mother smiled: "It's not a thing to always stay in the house. Look you've been standing here for a day, won't you freeze?"

Smiling slightly, Jiang Duyun said, "I'm cultivating." ”

The woman glared at her daughter and said, "Won't the cultivation be frozen?"

Jiang Duyun was very helpless, so she had to put on her robe. After a while, she looked at her mother and said, "On the mountain."

It's boring to stay, there is time these days, let's go to Chang'an City to have a fun. ”

Obviously, the woman wanted to go too, but she hesitated a little and asked, "It won't delay your cultivation, will it?" ”

Jiang Duyun shook his head and said with a smile: "It's all cultivation everywhere, so it's good to go out and relax." ”

She actually felt a little guilty, because there was really no pastime on this mountain. I am in the mountains, and I can practice, but my mother has nothing to do every day except for planting vegetables, and it is very boring.

But she can't be allowed to go somewhere else, because Jiang Duyun is the hope of the future of the Star Palace, and if someone threatens her mother, it will be a very troublesome thing. This kind of thing, in the history of monasticism, is still bad.

So either protect your loved ones.

Either be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and will not delay the road because of your relatives.
