2. Strange disease
A modern person understands the metaphysics that he scorned in his previous life, and this kind of thing seems to be very interesting.
But Fang Mian didn't feel that way, and experiencing reincarnation changed his views on many things.
Fang Mian took out a handful of grass stalks from his bag and put them on the table, and calculated them carefully.
This ancient method of speculating on the changes of things comes from the "Zhou Yi", as the first of the Confucian group classics, in fact, Fang Mian is not so much used for divination as for edification.
"It's a travel hexagram." Fang Mian looked at the hexagram and frowned slightly, "Go down and leave up, the fire in the mountain will burn, and it will not stop." So it seems...... Uncle Zhang should indeed have some disasters. ”
"......!?" When Aunt Zhang heard this, she became nervous again, "Brother Mian, how should this be." ”
Fang Mian said again: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, according to the hexagram, Lu Zhenji." ”
Zhen, "Shuowen Jie Zi" explains as: "Zhen Zhi is a question, and those who ask the right must first be correct."
Applying it to itself, that is to say: "Zhen" has the meaning of divination, and asking divination in "Yi" must first correct itself.
So chastity can be understood as positive.
"It means that if you stick to the right path while traveling, you will be able to achieve good fortune in times of trouble." Fang Mian explained, "I see that Uncle Zhang's business is never short of catties, and his popularity is good, although he will encounter disasters during this trip, it will not affect him too much." ”
"Brother Mian, are you serious?!"
"Of course." Fang Mian affirmed.
"Brother Xiao Mian." The man surnamed Liang smiled, leaned over and said, "How can our people have any bad intentions?" I think even if there is something this time, there is no danger in keeping it, Aunt Zhang, don't worry too much. ”
"Huh." Aunt Zhang was a little relieved, "I'm relieved if you say that." ”
Speaking of which, Fang Mian grew up in this small bazaar, and occasionally like this, he would tell the people around him what he had learned.
I've been doing this for a while.
At this time, Fang Mian's complexion changed slightly.
"Brother Mian, what's wrong!?"
Fang Mian shook his head, frowned, and pointed to the table opposite, where a passer-by accidentally knocked over the tea bowl, the tea spilled on the ground, and the tea bowl rolled right under his feet.
Seeing this, several people hurriedly stepped forward to help clean up.
In the eyes of others, this was really a trivial matter, but Fang Mian was a little abnormally stuck in place.
……
Although he occasionally helps people with divination, to put it bluntly, he just uses the principles in "Zhou Yi" to teach the people around him to follow the right path and be an upright and kind person.
After all, in this era, these ordinary people still believe in this, and he is quite accurate now.
First, you can entertain yourself, and second, you can teach people good truths, so why not do it?
But as time went on, Fang Mian became more and more amazed by this skill.
There is a saying in "Yi" that the ancient sage king Fuxi made gossip to resemble all things in heaven and earth, which is the same as the ancient characters created by Cangjie, which is a symbol representing all things in heaven and earth.
For Fang Mian, he felt that these symbols were becoming more and more like: the language of heaven and earth.
But...... Does Heaven and Earth Really Have Language?
Heaven and earth are not human beings, will he have his own consciousness?
Fang Mian didn't know, but just now, he seemed to have really seen some information.
"For Ze, for water, for girls......"
"It's June now, summer is a fire, water and fire are clashing, and it's dangerous......"
"There is a young girl who is about to meet with disaster by the water......"
Although it is mentioned in the Yi that all things in heaven and earth are connected and change in cycles, there are many other information that can be seen from what suddenly happens in front of us, which is indeed possible according to the Yi.
But at the moment, such a thing is really unbelievable for a person like Fang Mian who has come from modern times.
But...... Is it really too much of what you think?
In his heart, he always felt that something bad was about to happen.
He stepped forward and picked up the overturned wooden bowl on the ground.
"This brother." Fang Mian stepped forward and asked, "I don't know where it came from?" ”
"Me?" The man said heartily, "I'll call Xiling County." ”
Fang Mian nodded: "Everyone, I'll go back first." ”
"Great!"
……
Not far from the tea stall, walk along the alley to the innermost, is a small courtyard, white walls and black tile houses, the yard is planted with a few green bamboos, and there are some morning glory flowers around the fence wall, which is very neat and tidy.
In the courtyard, a plainly dressed woman sat under the shade of a tree, sewing and mending her clothes.
"Mother!" Fang Mian shouted.
"Coming back?"
"Huh." The door was open, and Fang Mian glanced into the room, where a middle-aged man in a scribe's shirt was sitting drinking tea.
"Daddy!"
"Coming back?" The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at him, "On such a hot day, I don't know how to rest, be careful of the fever." ”
"Dad, it's natural to be calm." Fang Mian shrugged.
"What you say in those miscellaneous books again?" Father Fang shook his head.
Fang Mian's father was a scholar, a scholar with a reputation for himself, but he read all the scriptures of Ning Guo, and it was understandable to call them miscellaneous books if he didn't understand what Fang Mian read.
"If you have time, you should read more serious books."
"Got it, Dad."
Although Father Fang occasionally persuaded him, he did not object to it, after all, those books were born with Fang Mian.
I just hope that Fang Mian can take a serious test and make a name for himself and shine on the lintel.
Fang Mian agreed, pushed open the door, and entered the bedroom.
The bedroom layout is very simple, that is, a set of tables and chairs, a few old cabinets, bookcases and so on.
There is a bookcase against the wall, which is newly bought, densely packed with books, and it is relatively new.
Most of these books were books that Fang Mian had read in his previous life, and in order to avoid forgetting, he copied them down one by one.
He likes to read, he likes the truth in books, and he understands in his heart that people should remain positive and optimistic at all times.
As the book says: Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue.
He looked at the table, where there was a finished book, a brush and an inkstone beside it.
He flipped through a few pages of the book and prepared to put it away.
......At this time, a fluffy little guy jumped in from outside the windowsill, it was a little civet cat, meowing and whining.
This is a wild cat, named Xiao Yu'er, who didn't know where it came from a few years ago, because it was raining heavily, so he took shelter from the rain under the eaves of his house.
At that time, Fang Mian saw that he was pitiful, and there seemed to be some injuries on his feet, so he simply let it into the house, and by the way, he got some rice cereal and other food, and bandaged his wounds.
Who knew that this little guy was lying here, and often came here to eat and drink.
Fang Mian couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, while touching its little head, signaling it to be quiet.
Looking at the cute appearance of this little guy, Fang Mian's mood couldn't help but settle down a little.
While putting the book away, he spoke: "This is "Zhou Yi", Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improving, the terrain is kun, and the gentleman is virtuous." It is said that people should learn from heaven and earth, and learn from their spirit of unremitting self-improvement and profound virtues. ”
The cat meowed twice.
Fang Mian couldn't help but say a little disgusted and a little funny: "You cat don't understand, you know how to come here to join in the fun." ”
After cleaning up, Fang Mian took some leftover porridge from the kitchen this morning, and soaked it in more water as cat food, so as not to go out by himself, this little guy can't go hungry for food.
This era is not like the previous life.
In this era, productivity is generally relatively low, and if you encounter corrupt officials, you can't say that you have to pay some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, not to mention that sometimes you will make trouble with mountain bandits.
Although it has been much better in recent years, it is good for ordinary people to have food.
Xiaqiaoji has been rich in recent years, otherwise, for most ordinary people, it is a luxury to feed cats with surplus food.
Fang Mian just looked at the cat and said, "Eat, eat, eat, but it's been too dry recently, and the surplus food can't always give you this gluttonous cat to eat, after eating this meal, you have to obediently find food to eat." ”
The cat stopped at this point and meowed twice, as if it understood.
Fang Mian couldn't help but be a little surprised by the little guy's spirituality, but at this time, he had to touch its head, as if to appease it.
Fang Mian was thinking about the things at the tea stall, and he decided to go to Xiling County.
In such weather, it was difficult to rush during the day, and Fang Mian had to wait until the evening, when the scorching sun was low, before he packed his things and prepared to go out.
Go to Xiling County for sixty or seventy miles, and set off tonight, there is no need to be in a hurry, and you should be able to arrive early tomorrow morning.
If someone knew that Fang Mian was going to drive sixty or seventy miles to Xiling County for such a trumped-up reason, I am afraid they would only think that Fang Mian was crazy.
In fact, Fang Mian didn't have a bottom in his heart.
But in the end...... Fang Mian had a strong desire in his heart, so he chose to try.
After all, try and don't need money.
"If nothing happens, let's go out for a walk." Fang Mian said secretly in his heart.
Speaking of which, I haven't been to the city in a long time, so it's good to go shopping.
"Dad, mother." After he cleaned up, he walked out of the door, "I'll go to the city and do something." ”
"Going to the city so late?" Father Fang took a sip of tea with a teacup, and glanced at him with some concern, knowing that it would take dozens of miles to go to the city.
In these years, unlike in the previous life, there were roads everywhere, and it was not impossible to encounter all kinds of carnivorous wild animals at night.
"It's easy to travel at night." He took a hunting bow and immediately hit the road.
