Village Chief Ji Chen said excitedly: "I understand! It seems that in our Zangzhu Village, only Chaolu can restrain the Yashi Chain!" The other villagers clapped their hands and shouted, "Yes, yes...... So what are we going to do next?"

Village Chief Ji Chen said, "I can't make up my mind either!" One of the villagers laughed and said, "Village Chief Ji Chen, since everyone can't make up their minds, why don't you take a divination and see what instructions the gods have?" The other villagers all turned their heads and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Village Chief Ji Chen touched his beard and said, "It seems that this is the only way, you wait here, I'll go take a bath and change clothes first." ”

In order to show their sincerity to the gods, diviners are usually required to bathe and change their clothes.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the village chief Ji Chen came out of the inner room, by this time he had changed into a new set of clothes, and he was holding a wooden box in his right hand. I saw him put the wooden box on the table, slowly opened the wooden box, and took out fifty yarrow from inside, which if you didn't look closely, you would think it was fifty chopsticks.

Then Village Chief Ji Chen slowly sat on the wooden chair and sat upright very solemnly, at this time everyone stared at Village Chief Ji Chen, motionless and concentrated.

After a while, Village Chief Ji Chen took one of the fifty yarrows and put it on the corner of the table, holding the remaining forty-nine yarrow in both hands.

Village Chief Ji Chen continued: "Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments. With that, he divided the forty-nine stalks of yarrow into two parts. "One on the left represents the heavens, and the one on the right represents the earth. After finishing speaking, the village chief Ji Chen held a handful of yarrow in one hand and placed them on both sides of the table.

Then the village chief Ji Chen took out a piece of yarrow from the right hand side, put it between the little finger and ring finger of his left hand and said: "To symbolize people, this is hanging one." ”

Then the village chief Ji Chen said: "Take it to four times like four." After saying that, he divided the right yarrow into a group of four sticks, and after dividing it into several groups, he placed the remaining one between the ring finger and middle finger of his left hand. Then, in the same way, divide the left yarrow into groups, and place the remaining three yarrow between the middle and index fingers of the left hand.

Unconsciously, a quarter or two of an hour passed, and the village chief Ji Chen smiled: "Finally, I got the hexagram." ”

Everyone excitedly asked in unison, "How is it? What kind of hexagram is it?"

The village chief Ji Chen said: "The combination of these six lines just happens to be the "same hexagram". ”

The villagers were puzzled and asked, "What is the meaning of this hexagram?"

The village chief of Ji Chen said: "Dry is the sky, for the king, separation is the fire, for the subjects and the people, the fire in the sky and the sky, the fire rises, the same in the sky, the upper and lower harmony, the same boat, the interpersonal relationship is harmonious, the world is the same......"

One of the villagers asked: "Village Chief Ji Chen, does this "homo hexagram" make us unite and not be afraid to sacrifice personal interests, but also for the sake of the whole village, so that we can get through the difficulties?"

Village Chief Ji Chen nodded and said, "Yes, we must seal the Fire Lion Chain in a certain villager's body, so that the Fire Lion Chain will not destroy the ecological environment of our Tibetan Pearl Village." ”

Suddenly, a little boy said confidently: "Let me come, seal it in my body, I'm not afraid of ......" Before the words were finished, he was immediately hugged back by his mother, covered the little boy's mouth and said: "Ji Chen, my little ghost is not sensible, he talks nonsense, he has been most afraid of burning since he was a child, and he is taking cold showers...... "Other adults also said one after another: "My child is not good, yes, yes, yes, the most scared......"

The little boy who was covered in his mouth saw that his mother had already opened his hand easily, so he said softly to his mother: "Mother, I don't dare to take cold water!" Suddenly, Chaolu, who was only five years old, laughed and said: "You cowards, Village Chief Ji Chen, you can seal it in my body, I like it a lot." Everybody is afraid of it, but I'm not afraid of it!"

Village Chief Ji Chen frowned and said, "Lu'er, you are the youngest of several children, if the Yashi Chain is sealed in your body, it may often be painful, even as painful as being burned by fire, aren't you afraid?"

Chaolu didn't know where the courage came from, and he said categorically: "If this can make Village Chief Jichen and the villagers happy, then I'm not afraid!"

Village Chief Ji Chen moistened his eyes, and although the other adults were relieved, they were also very moved to moisten their eyes.

Suddenly, Chaolu held the lion chain high, and the village chief Ji Chen took the lion chain with both hands, sat on the ground and said, "Lu'er, you can also sit down in front of me......

Chao Lu sat down, and the village chief Ji Chen put the lion chain on Chao Lu's neck, then closed his eyes, and began to exercise with both hands, only to see wisps of white smoke rising between the hair of the village chief Ji Chen. After a while, Village Chief Ji Chen's hands pressed on the lion chain on Chaolu's chest. Suddenly, the red light of the lion chain illuminated the entire room.

Half an hour passed, the red giant light gradually dimmed, and Village Chief Ji Chen and Chaolu were already sweating profusely at this time. Only then did Village Chief Ji Chen slowly withdraw his hands and put them on both sides of his thighs.

"The Lion Chain is gone!" cried a child. Village Chief Ji Chen slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "The Yashi Chain has been sealed in Chaolu's body. ”

In this way, the Yashi chain was sealed, so what should the villagers do in the face of the growing Xuantie Beads? Why did Chaolu attack in that chess game as if life was worse than death? What is the relationship between this scene of celestial phenomena and hexagrams and the overall situation of the world today? Why was Chaolu abandoned? What is the origin of his biological parents?

After the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty appeared in China for nearly 800 years, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was divided into more than 140 vassal states, and the war has not stopped. Until the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there were mainly Chu, Jin, Qin, Zheng, Song, Lu, Qi, Wei, Wu, Yue, Yan and other countries.

In a poor house in Wancheng, Chu State, the voices of three people came from the house, like a husband and wife, and the voice of a boy.

"Li, it's not okay for you to lie at home all day like this! You're ten years old, and if you don't study hard with the master of the academy, you can only work hard after you finish your studies! If you don't have a career before you are thirty years old, you won't have any drama in your life!" The voice was loud and thick, as if the father was reprimanding the child.

"Daddy, I know, I know, I know, what's wrong with me lying down? I'm lying down to read, and I don't lie down to sleep...... "One boy said impatiently.

The boy's father hurriedly said: "Li, what kind of book are you reading? You should go to the academy to study, so that you can look like you are studying! Li, if you don't have a career before the age of 30, you won't have any drama in your life! Look at our biggest celebrity in Wancheng, "Jiang Taigong", who assisted King Wen of Zhou in establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty in the early days of the founding of the country! Li, if you have Jiang Taigong's successful achievements, then Daddy, I will laugh off my big teeth!"

The boy threw the book aside, then stood up on the bed, and laughed loudly: "Daddy, don't always have a great career before the age of thirty! I'm only ten years old now, and Jiang Taigong only came out of the mountain to become an official at the age of seventy-two! Then I can sleep for sixty-two years, Daddy, why don't you study well?"

The boy's father gritted his teeth in anger and blushed and was about to raise his hand to punch the boy's ass. I saw a woman grab his hand with one hand and said with a smile: "Li'er, don't talk to your father like this, you are ignorant." The child is his father, the child doesn't understand anything, you have to teach slowly, don't worry. It's better for him to play at home than to run outside all day like other bad boys, and if he gets caught by the bad guys, how can that be good?

When the boy's father was told this, he was no longer so angry, put down his hand and said, "This child is spoiled by you, so I won't talk to you, I'll go fishing." With that, he picked up the net and turned around and left.

I saw that the child saw that his father had gone out, so he lay down again and continued to read, and the three words "Tao Te Ching" could be vaguely seen from the book. The child's mother, when she saw that the boy had obediently read again, sat aside and continued to make her own needlework.

The boy read a book at once, and then played the zither. All of a sudden, there was a black-and-white game of Go on the table, and he played chess with himself. After a while, he put away the game of Go, put a blank notebook on the table, and began to write......

Time passed quickly, it was almost dusk, although the boy's mother did not disturb the child from the beginning, but she was still afraid that the child's father would come back, and she would start to reprimand, so she wanted to find a good excuse in advance in order to better "cover" the boy. So he asked, "Li'er, why don't you go to the academy to study with your master?" and I remember that your master didn't teach guzheng...... How did you do that?"

The boy put down the brush in his hand and chatted with his mother with a smile......

It turns out that the boy's name is "Fan Li", he didn't like the way of learning and the way of life since he was a child, but he liked to learn by himself by his curiosity and what he saw interesting. After a few years in the academy, he found that his self-study method had improved faster than in the academy, and everything that the master did not teach was researched by himself. And he also found that self-study can be done without paying tuition, and in his spare time, he can also help with fishing and help people write door links to make money. Therefore, Fan Li has been determined to be self-taught since he was a child and make a career.

"Hey! I'm really bored today, I'm tired of reading the existing books and playing the existing scores these days...... Anyway, I haven't been back to the academy for more than a year, I don't know if there's anything new and interesting?" Fan Li said leisurely while lying on the bed.

I saw Fan Li stand up excitedly, put on cloth shoes and quickly ran to the door.

Suddenly, Fan Liniang asked in surprise: "Li'er, where are you going to run so fast?"
