Chapter Eighty-Six: The Perseverance of Great Strength
Feng Xiaoqi thought thoughtfully, "But...... Is this kind of prayer really useful? β
Du mocked up and didn't answer.
"What kind of book is the Heavenly Master reading?" Xiao Qi got up and sat down next to Du Weifeng, she tilted her neck to look at the book in Du Weifeng's hand, "Divination...... Authentic. β
Feng Xiaoqi suddenly came back to his senses - Du Weifeng is the Great Zhou Heavenly Master, she asked if it was useful for a Heavenly Master to pray for blessings?
Saying that it is useful becomes boasting and saying that it is useless...... That's not a self-smashing sign.
"Divination, it's a fortune teller, right?"
Du Weifeng turned a page of the book with a blank face, "...... No. β
"Yes, right?" Feng Xiaoqi sat cross-legged, supporting his face with both hands, "Bu is 'burning oracle bones, taking omens, and taking good fortune', and Xiao is 'using grass and trees to start hexagrams' - the bamboo prefix on the top is the yarrow (shi1) grass used in divination, and the witch at the bottom is a human - this was told by the master in Guozi before." β
Du Weifeng put down the book in his hand.
"You are waiting here, can you wait quietly?"
"Hahaha, but that's boring." Feng Xiaoqi smiled, "I can also tell fortunes!" But not yarrow, it's tarot cards. β
After that, Feng Xiaoqi waited for a long time, but Du Xiaofeng didn't ask anything.
"Isn't the Celestial Master curious about what tarot cards are?"
Du Weifeng looked at the book in his hand again, "There are more methods of folk divination, and everything is changing, so what is there to be curious about." β
"What kind of divination does the heavenly master usually use, is it also yarrow?"
Du Weifeng sighed, closed the book, and put it aside.
He scratched his neck and sat up straight, "Want to see?" β
Feng Xiaoqi clapped his hands, "I want to!" β
"Do you have copper coins with you?"
"Copper coins? I'm looking for ......."
Feng Xiaoqi lowered his head and took out the money bag and looked through it. On weekdays, just in case, she will carry some broken silver with her, but copper coins are really hard to say.
"There are four!" After turning the entire money bag upside down, Feng Xiaoqi pulled the four copper coins in front of Du Yifeng, "Is it enough?" β
Du Weifeng pushed one of them back to Feng Xiaoqi's side, "Three is enough." β
He put the three copper coins in the palm of his hand and said softly, "The ancient adage says: The way of sincerity can be known in advance. The diviner is insincere, and the diviner is ineffectiveβ"
"What does this mean......
"It means that sincerity is spiritual, and insincerity is not spiritual." Du mocked and said, "Today, the Heavenly Master's heart is not very sincere, don't take it too seriously, just go through the motions to show you." β
"Okay!" Feng Xiaoqi smiled, "Shouldn't I have a question in my heart now?" β
"Uh-huh." Du mocked the wind and snorted lightly.
He clasped his palms together, and the three coins shook gently in his hands, making a clattering sound.
Du Weifeng half-closed his eyes and muttered softly:
"What a word, knock is answered!
"The spirit of the gods is connected.
"Today, I have a certain surname, and I have something to care about.
"I don't know how to blame, and I don't know what to do.
"God is the spirit, if yes or no...... Hopefully! β
Then the two hands let go, and the three coins fell in response.
All three coins are face up.
Feng Xiaoqi tilted his head, "...... Is this good or bad? β
"It's not over yet." Du Weifeng smiled and took the three coins back into his hand, "Six tosses." β
After five coin tosses, Du mocked the wind without saying a word.
Feng Xiaoqi looked at the Heavenly Master in front of him, and suddenly understood why so many people in the world would believe in divination - although Du Tianshi just said that he was not sincere, his appearance of divination still made Feng Xiaoqi inexplicably rise in awe.
Just as the last coin toss was about to end, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and someone strode into the main hall, "Du Tianshi!" β
Feng Xiaoqi turned around, and the person who came was not someone else, it was Ji Ran.
The young man rolled up his two sleeves, and there were three distinct red marks on his left arm, which looked particularly dazzling in the light of the main hall.
Du mocked his eyes and raised his eyes, "What's wrong?" β
"I've arranged everything over there for Junjun," Ji Ran walked up to Du Weifeng's side, "Where do I sleep tonight?" β
ββ¦β¦ You can sleep wherever you see when it's empty, and it's not the first time you've been here. Du Weifeng looked down at the coins on the ground again, "...... Tut. β
"What's wrong?" Feng Xiaoqi asked.
Du Weifeng didn't say a word-he was interrupted by Ji Ran like this, and he suddenly couldn't remember the hexagram he threw just now.
"Huh?" Only then did Ji Ran see the three copper coins on the ground, and he sat on the ground, "The Heavenly Master is divining again?" β
"yes, you're all here to make a mess for me," Du Weifeng frowned, "I just threw some ......"
Feng Xiaoqi stepped forward, "What is the saying of this coin, Heavenly Master, tell me first." β
Du Weifeng sighed and turned the three copper plates in front of him into fronts.
"Three fronts, recorded as 'Lao Yang'."
He then flipped the coin from front to tail.
"Two positive, less yang;
"Two antis, less yin;
"Three antis, old yin."
"Then the hexagrams just now, the order should be ......" Feng Xiaoqi's eyes blinked quickly, "Old Yang, Young Yang, Young Yang, Young Yang, Young Yin, Young Yin, Young Yin." β
Du mocked up a little surprised, "You remember everything, the little head melon is quite good." β
"Hey, hey." Feng Xiaoqi laughed twice, "What is the meaning of this hexagram?" β
Du mocked his eyes and thought for a while, "This hexagram is the upper shock and the lower dry, and the change hexagram is the upper shock and the lower Xun, and the name of this hexagram is called Da Zhuang Zhiheng." β
Feng Xiaoqi leaned back slightly, his expression was subtle, and he wrote clearly: Heavenly Master, you don't think I can understand what you are talking about.
Du Weifeng looked up at Xiao Qi, "What did you just ask in your heart?" β
Feng Xiaoqi just wanted to open her mouth - she wanted to ask herself if she could successfully pass the selection of the Ping Demon Department in half a month, but at this moment she suddenly remembered that at dinner, Du Weifeng and Sister A sang and sang to her on the rooftop.
Maybe Du Tianshi has been secretly bought by Sister A, if he tells him the question he wants to ask at this time, when he interprets the hexagram for a while, won't he open his mouth and sing down?
Feng Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Can the Heavenly Master tell me what this hexagram says first?" β
Du mocked the wind and smiled, "Da Zhuang's hexagram, the dry is just shaking, the hexagram is strong, and the person who occupies this hexagram will stick to the right path, which will be very beneficial." β
Feng Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, "That means that-"
"But." Du Weifeng said in a low voice, "There is a change in your hexagram, so at this time, you should use the words of this hexagram as the result of the calculation." That is, the "ninth day of the first month" of the hexagram Da Zhuang - strong on the toes, fierce and strong. β
"Stronger than what?" Feng Xiaoqi was a little confused, "What fierce?" What? β
"A toe is a toe, and Fu means faithfulness. The ninth day of the first month is the beginning of great strength, which means that although you have strong yang energy at the moment, it will only be infiltrated to your toes.
"There is no correct response on the ninth day of the first month, and if the whole hexagram goes up again, it will enter the hexagram, which will make the yang yao fall into the predicament of prosperity and decline. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to accumulate and be ready to go, and it is not appropriate to act rashly. β
Du Weifeng looked at Feng Xiaoqi.
"If you are in a hurry at this time, the future will be dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Feng Xiaoqi frowned.
Du mocked the wind and said, "But there is Fu in the hexagram, which means that you have both confidence and the ability to do it. It's just that you have to stand firm and have a foundation before you can act. β
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoqi finally understood - anyway, this hexagram clearly said the three words "can't pass".
What a feudal superstition!
No, no, no!
