Chapter 3 Huang Yang Yuanji
Dongfang Bai is back, and the person who spoke just now is him, his voice is loud and powerful, absolutely full of neutrality, and very manly.
The two stood up, didn't say a word, and swept their eyes to the legendary person in front of them.
I saw that he was in his twenties, not too old, thin and tall, white and clean, sven, plainly dressed, wearing a pair of myopic glasses, revealing a literati atmosphere in his bones.
Dongfang Bai was also looking at them at this time, but it didn't look like the two of them were watching endlessly.
Dongfang Bai said: "Two, let's not meet again today, let's sit down first." β
When the two heard this, they realized that they had been staring at Dongfang Bai for a long time, and they felt very rude, so they hurriedly said, "Please sit down first!" β
After the guest and host sat down, Tang Tianshun wanted to follow Dongfang Bai to learn all the year round in the future, and immediately asked, "How will I call you in the future?" β
Dongfang Bai said: "I'm not much older than you, and I don't usually like to call me a brother, so just call me Dongfang Bai."
Zhang Guoqiang usually speaks and does things slowly, I don't know why, when he saw Dongfang Bai today, he became a thunderbolt like Qin Ming, a good man in Liangshan.
He said, "So, your surname is Dong?" β
Dongfang Bai shook his hand, "No, it's not the surname Dong, but the surname Dongfang."
Then, Dongfang Bai gave the two of them the first lesson, teaching free name learning.
Dongfang is a compound surname, our genealogy is long gone, and my sister thinks that we are the descendants of Dongfang Shuo.
There are many compound surnames, such as Sima, and Sima Yi in the Three Kingdoms; There is also Zhuge Liang, the most famous is Zhuge Liang. There are many others, such as Ximen, Ouyang, Nangong, Shangguan, Xiahou and so on.
The origin of the surname Dongfang comes from the residence of Fuxi, the founder of the innate gossip, and it is pointed out in the "Customs and Customs" that "after Fuxi, the emperor is out of the earthquake, the main Dongfang, and the descendants of Yan". That is to say, the descendants of Fuxi, the first saint of antiquity, are the source of the surname Dongfang.
Zhen is one of the eight trigrams, located in the east, so the descendants of Fuxi have the surname of the east.
However, there are really people with the surname Dong! Dongfang Bai added.
"Tongzhi Clan Strategy" has: "Dong Clan, Shun Qiyou Dong Bu Zhi, look out of the plain". The surname Dong comes from Dong Buzi, a friend of Jun Shun of the ancient Ming Dynasty. Historically, celebrities with the surname Dong include Dongguan Xiang, a general of the Han Dynasty.
The two of them were more concerned with another question, and they couldn't help asking, "Sir, how did you know that we were coming to visit you, and that you were coming at the same time?" β
Dongfang Bai replied, follow me into the inner room, and you will understand.
When they came to the bedroom, the two of them took a look, okay! This is really Confucius's moveβit's all books.
The bedroom has a large wooden bed for sleeping, a writing table, and a solid wood sofa for sitting and writing in front of the table.
Several sides of the wall are full of books, and there are many types, it can be said that astronomy and geography, subsets of classics and history, medical information, novels and history books, it is really all-encompassing, all-encompassing.
There are wired bindings, modern editions, and hand-copied copies.
Clearly, knowing that this was the bedroom of his Oriental home; I don't know, and I mistakenly think it's to the library.
Dongfang Bai picked up two pieces of paper with words on the small desk, and handed one of them first.
The two of them took a look, and it was a hexagram drawn on it, and Dongfang Bai also wrote a simple judgment on it.
Tang Tianshun understands a little, but Zhang Guoqiang can't understand it at all.
Dongfang Bai said that yesterday afternoon, I suddenly felt a sense of restlessness, you know, I usually like to meditate, and there will be no irritability.
At this moment, a bird happened to land on the windowsill and barked at me.
The bird is signaling, and the bird's head is barking into the house, which is a sign that there is external information coming, which is one of the many external methods that I have summarized.
In order to figure it out, I used three copper coins to shake out a six-line hexagram, which is a pure Kun hexagram of the upper and lower Kun, and the hexagram is "Friends in the southwest, and friends in the northeast".
Are you two coming from the southwest? The two of them glanced at each other, what a god!
Originally, they could have started from Wenzhou and came directly to Hangzhou. Wenzhou is a little east to the south of Hangzhou, so there will be no southwest.
However, Zhang Guoqiang had to go back to Fuzhou first, and then transfer to Hangzhou, which was located in the south-west of Hangzhou.
"Friends in the southwest" means that there are friends in the southwest who want to come to my Houde Hall, Dongfang Bai looked at them and said.
Zhang Guoqiang then asked: "So, how to explain the 'Northeast bereavement'?" β
Dongfang Bai replied: "This is the reason why I went out and came back." β
To determine what's going on? Another hexagram was raised.
As he spoke, he handed them the second piece of paper, and there was also a hexagram written on it, which was the Tianhuo Tongren hexagram of the upper and lower divisions, and the hexagram was "The two of them are concentric, and their benefits are gold".
Dongfang Bai continued: "Looking at this hexagram, you know that you are coming together. Through the analysis of the hexagrams, I also saw that there was a friend who would die in a car accident, and he lived in the northeast of me, which is the northeast mourning friend. Later, someone from the northeast really came to invite me, so he left a note for you and went out. β
Hearing this, coupled with what they had seen and heard in the Dongfang family, they felt that they could not hesitate any longer. They want to apprentice, Dongfang Bai said that he is not in a hurry, and he is in a hurry to do something now.
In the Book of Changes, the hexagram of the fifth hexagram is: Huangshang Yuanji. Specifically, he said: The gentleman Huang Zhong is reasonable, is in the body, the beauty is in it, and the four branches are smooth, and the career is in the cause, and the beauty is also.
The next morning, the three of them rushed to Ma Hua's house. Ma Hua's mother saw Dongfang Bai coming: "Let's eat, and then go and take a look at the feng shui of Ade's cemetery." β
In addition to rice, there is also Chongming cake, which is a specialty of Chongming, and the cake is paired with dates or sugar. It tastes fragrant and loose, glutinous but not sticky, and is a good flavor snack.
There are also a few dishes, and Dongfang Bai only remembers that there is Chongming crispy taro.
Crispy taro, the scientific name is called red stem taro, it is crispy and glutinous than other taro varieties such as white taro and yellow taro, and it is more fragrant, so Chongming locally calls it "crispy taro".
There is also a dish of taro and roasted lentils, which is a soft and delicate dish.
They southerners like it, but Dongfang Bai is a northerner, he doesn't like these very much, he doesn't like to eat glutinous food since he was a child, and he only eats two bites hastily and doesn't eat it.
Dongfang Bai prepared a compass, a tool necessary for Feng Shui, and set off with everyone, and this time MCA's mother also wanted to follow.
After suffering a loss, she was not at ease with anyone, and thought that it would be safer to follow herself.
After coming to a place, Dongfang Bai took out the compass. It was morning, the sun was in the east, and he wanted to see if the needle on the compass was accurate.
You know, the middle part of the compass is a compass. Among them, one end of the pointer is red, and the other end is black, red belongs to fire for yang, and black belongs to water for yin.
When looking at Feng Shui, you should first adjust this pointer so that the red side points to the noon position of the earthly branch, which is the position of the separation hexagram in the eight trigrams, to indicate that this is the south.
And the black end naturally points to the sub-position of the earthly branch, that is, the Kan hexagram position in the eight trigrams, so it must be the north.
Tang Tianshun saw this compass for the first time, it had been used for many years, at least older than these people, it can be said that the age must be a small nose and his father-an old nose.
Tang Tianshun asked: "This compass has been used for a long time, right?" β
Zhang Guoqiang also said: "I see that the colors are all black, red, black and red!" β
Dongfang Bai replied: "This compass is some years old, and it was passed down to me by my master, and it is made of fine gloomy wood. β
MCA asked, "Uncle, what is gloomy wood?" β
Dongfang Bai replied: "It is the side that does not see the sun in the shade, the trees in this place grow very slowly because they do not see the sun all year round, and they can only grow into a bowl mouth for about a thousand years, and the wood is particularly hard, if it is buried in the ground, it can be immortal for ten thousand years!" β
Ma Hua looked at it twice: "That's really a good thing!" β
Zhang Guoqiang stimulated Ma Hua and said: "It's useless to be greedy, my quasi-master's, it will naturally be passed on to me in the future, and there is no share of yours!" β
Ma Hua looked unconvinced, tilted his head and said, "Hmph! Maybe it was passed on to Tang Tianshun, and my uncle didn't have only one disciple, who said that it would definitely be given to you? β
Dongfang Bai hurriedly said: "Stop, I'm still young, I'll use it myself, and no one will give it." β
MCA's mother didn't have the heart to fight, she was bent on finding a good place as soon as possible.
Dongfang Bai knew Ade's physiognomy, so he spoke to himself, in fact, it was also to say it so that it would be convenient to teach Tang Tianshun and Zhang Guoqiang.
"Ade is a chicken, the earth branch is unitary, then you can't sit on the Mao Mountain, the terrain here is only available on the Mao Mountain, we have to go to the front, to find other mountains to choose."
Tang Tianshun asked: "The rooster can't sit on Mao Mountain, is it because Mao You is six chongs?" β
Dongfang Bai replied: "Yes! If it's not a good place, it must be used, and the place also has its own magnetic field attributes, for example, some mountain gold qi is heavy, which will be unfavorable to the people of wood, even if it is an auspicious place, we have to avoid it. β
Later, when he came to a place, Dongfang Bai stopped, and he carefully looked at everything around him.
But seeing here, there is a river in the distance in front of it, and there is a large mountain standing on each side, and there are continuous mountains behind it.
Dongfang Bai looked at the compass in his hand again and said, "This is really a good place!" This is it. β
MCA's mother asked, "What's the best way here?" β
Dongfang Bai answered:
There is water in front and mountains in the back, which is called "there is a photo in front and a back in the back".
Moreover, the water comes from a distance, rushing towards us, and this is called water. Feng Shui talks about "but look at the water, don't look at the water and go". When water comes, it is wealth, and when water goes, it is lost.
The mountain behind it, undulating and in the shape of a dragon's body, is not the appearance of a long snake, it is a dragon and not a snake.
There are hills on the left and right, which are called "sand" in feng shui, just like the two handles of the Taishi chair. The green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right blocked the evil qi from both sides, and it was like a dragon and tiger guarding the door.
Judging from the compass, you can sit in the Kun direction of Gen Mountain, which originally represents the mountain, and it is safe for the mountain not to move. Kun is the earth, and it can enter the earth for peace. This is a good place to sit, and it is an auspicious place.
MCA's mother asked, "Can you prove this with facts?" β
Dongfang Bai was naturally not afraid, he said mysteriously, "Dig down in the place I designated, you can get verification." β
The surface of this ground is white sand, and there is nothing unusual about it, it is not different from other places.
Everyone started digging, but when they dug more than 40 centimeters, they saw a loess mass exposed underground.
This loess mass is like a ball, like a yellow-skinned egg standing in the soil, and it does not fill the whole ground.
Dongfang Bai said, "Flatten the top of this loess mass and make it a plane." β
They had cut out the uneven part of the loess mass, and now it looked like a yellow platform held under the soil.
Tang Tianshun was surprised, it was the first time he had seen this magical feng shui technique with his own eyes.
He asked, "How do you know there's going on here?" β
Dongfang Bai said: "There is a book in Feng Shui called "The Eye of the Earth", and we geographers should be able to know the ground according to the ground, and see the subtle knowledge. β
MCA's mother also asked: "What's so important about this loess?" β
Dongfang Bai replied:
Yellow is the positive color of the earth, and it is the best soil.
In the ancient emperor's underground palace, the Jinjing part deliberately dug a pit and filled in some loess to represent the endless yellow soil.
