Chapter Ninety-Seven: Eclectic
At that time, she was the most important person in Chen Jianjun's mind. Being so attached to the crown prince of a country, the future monarch, made her extremely proud. She also did everything she could to protect him, even if it was at the cost of her life, and vowed not to live up to his trust.
It was such a good time. Why can't we go back to where we were back then? What is holding them back from staying together?
It's these sluts! This one slut after another! played all the treasures, just to get a piece of the pie from her. There is a posture to show off the posture, and a fertility to sell the belly, and now there is another one who is showing off the Tao!
Jin Guifei figured it out, no matter whether the emperor had a relationship with that Taoist doctor or not, this person must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Originally, when she only knew that the prince had a head and end with her, Jin Guifei also wanted to kill her with high-sounding reasons and curb the prince by the way.
Now, she dared to put her hand on the emperor, and Concubine Jin just wanted her to die quickly! The sooner the better! It doesn't matter if it's poisoning, assassination, or whatever, as long as it works quickly.
Hate only hated that treacherous girl who actually instigated the emperor to hand over the Xiyuan Immortal View to her. There, Jin Guifei's actions were far less convenient than in the Forbidden City.
How do you get rid of her? Jin Guifei planned over and over again in her heart.
Zhang Weizhao returned to Feixian Temple, washed up, and sat in his bedroom to write a treatment log in English.
She was generally satisfied with the treatment.
In fact, from the perspective of psychology, divination, rituals, sacrifices, and even dancing gods and conjuring spirits were all forms of psychotherapy before the advent of modern medicine.
Using the Book of Changes for divination, if used properly, can become a delicate dialogue between the minds. So in modern society, there are also many psychologists and counselors who study the Book of Changes. Not only in East Asia, but also in the psychology community of Europe and North America, the I Ching is also popular.
How do I Ching and divination work in psychotherapy?
One of the more acceptable explanations is that the process of divination in the I Ching is like a completion game.
Many times, visitors can only see some fragments of their own mind, and cannot collage them into a complete graphic. The I Ching, with its infinite variety of imagery, provides visitors with a rich library of material. Divination is equivalent to selecting some elements from this library to fill in the missing parts of one's mental structure. Then the inner picture will become complete, so that you can see clearly the problems you are facing today and the picture of your future development.
However, in addition to this relatively acceptable explanation, many psychologists also firmly believe that in the Book of Changes, there is a mysterious cipher system, and if you strictly follow the requirements of the Book of Changes to ask for divination, you can achieve the communication between heaven and man, and peek into the trajectory of fate.
Zhang Weizhao grew up with a materialist education, and at the beginning, she did not believe in the second explanation, believing that the first explanation was the core psychological mechanism of the I Ching.
After reading more books and contacting more psychology experts, she found that there are many pathways to people's hearts, in addition to the conventional methods of talking, writing and painting, hypnosis, meditation, and even tracing back to previous lives are all possible paths. These paths do not belong to science in terms of scope, but to phenomenology. There is no way to explain it scientifically, but these phenomena are happening.
For example, there was once someone who cured his polio with his mind, from being paralyzed in bed to walking as usual, and even being able to explore in the wild. This sounds strange and unscientific, and many people will take it as a lie or a fantasy. But this is what really happened.
The person who completed this miracle was Milton Erickson, the "father of modern hypnosis", the top authority on medical hypnosis and psychotherapy, and the founder of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. He believes that the human mind has great resilience and unlimited potential, and he has devoted his life to developing this potential, and has brought out many excellent students.
After learning about these highly creative ideas, Zhang Weizhao's vision is no longer limited to the material world that is visible to the naked eye. Start trying more psychotherapy.
In fact, when she strictly followed the instructions of the Book of Changes, the hexagrams she divined were indeed very close to the situation of the parties, fitting beyond her imagination, and the foreshadowings given were later verified one by one. She also had no way of explaining why this was happening, but it just happened.
At the time, one of her Hispanic teachers said that it was because her mind was not closed to nature that she had come up with such a result.
It is precisely because of this experience that Zhang Weizhao dared to use the "Book of Changes" divination as the beginning of Chen Jianjun's psychological treatment.
Moreover, before divination, Zhang Weizhao had a keen insight into Chen Jianjun's heart, especially the problem he was most obsessed with - death anxiety. This also increased Zhang Weizhao's chances of winning.
Because his grandfather and father both died at the age of 38, Chen Jianjun had a strong fear that he would die at the age of 38.
But in fact, Chen Jianjun's physical function is not too bad, and there is no sign of running out of oil, and his hexagram does show a longer timeline, so Zhang Weizhao made the above explanation.
Chen Jianjun was not immediately convinced, but produced a great emotional backlash, which has a term in psychology called impedance. Zhang Weizhao is not afraid of resistance. She believed that Chen Jianjun would convince herself to trust this hexagram because he needed to find some support for himself to overcome the extreme anxiety that the age of 38 brought him.
Chen Jianjun felt that he was also likely to die at the age of thirty-eight, which was actually a way to express loyalty to his father and grandfather, as well as to the entire family. Although he himself was unaware of this.
But he didn't want to end his life so early, so he needed a nobler reason to support him psychologically. Is there a better reason than Destiny?
As the weather became hotter and hotter, the masters of the palace went out of the Forbidden City to the West Garden to take a boat to cool off more often. The Queen Mother has also been very interested in recent days, preparing to go boating on Taiye Lake, and also want to go to the Flying Immortal Temple to incense.
In the past, the Queen Mother went to Lingji Palace or Chaotian Palace to make incense, and never set foot in the Flying Immortal Temple. This time I wanted to come to this small place, mainly to see how Zhang Weizhao was doing here.
As soon as I heard that the Queen Mother was coming, she frightened Guyun and Leng Window.
In fact, a few days ago, when they knew that the emperor had summoned Zhang Weizhao at night, they were already frightened. Like Sun Zhenren of Lingji Palace and Wu Zhenren of Chaotian Palace, the emperor will not summon them when he is free, unless there is a major celebration and invite them to preside over the ceremony. And Zhang Weizhao was summoned by His Majesty just a few days after he arrived at Feixian Temple.
And the Queen Mother, three days and two summons Zhang Weizhao to Changle Palace to accompany the car, and then said that she wants to go to the Feixian Temple to incense.
Gu Yun couldn't help but regret not stacking, and secretly scolded himself for staying in this small place for a long time, and his eyelids have become shallow, and he doesn't know gold and jade, and he is too cold and arrogant to Zhang Weizhao. Previously, she was reluctant to flatter Zhang Weizhao because she felt that she was old and senior, and she was too embarrassed to bend down and bow her head to her juniors. Now it seems that people can become real people at a young age because they really have the ability, and they are favored by the two masters in the palace at the same time, what a great favor it is. I knew that Zhang Weizhao was so capable, let alone let her bend down and bow her head to Zhang Weizhao, she was willing to kowtow.
Gu Yun's illness immediately improved.
Her third apprentice, Leng Quan, had already begun to follow Zhang Weizhao to read the scriptures and sort out medicinal materials. At the beginning, Gu Yun scolded her for being snobbish, but now she even praised this apprentice for his insight.
Gu Yun took the other two apprentices, Leng Chuang and Leng Yue, to the west across the courtyard, and asked to help Zhang Weizhao grind and dry the medicine.
Zhang Weizhao politely entertained her, checked her pulse, and told her that her qi and blood were too weak to work, and it was better to recuperate. He also told Leng Window and Leng Yue to take good care of the master, and politely sent the three masters and apprentices away.
Gu Yun was embarrassed and ashamed, but it was not easy to attack. In addition to being ashamed, there is a trace of comfort, at least Zhang Weizhao is very polite to her, as long as she doesn't tear her face, she will flatter her well in the future, and she can always persuade her to come over. If Zhang Weizhao can maintain this favor for two or three years, everyone in Feixian Guan will be able to benefit a lot.
Guyun expected it to be good, and the benefits were indeed coming soon. Because the Queen Mother wants to go to the Flying Immortal Temple to incense, and the Flying Immortal Temple has not been renovated for many years, the statue is dim, weeds grow in the tile cracks, and the courtyard wall is also stained by rain, so before the Queen Mother arrives, all parts of the temple must be renovated first.
The internal officials and supervisors immediately sent manpower to repair the roof with the best materials, paint the walls, repaint the statues of the three Qings, replace the curtains of the temple, carefully prune the original flowers and plants in the courtyard, and bring in many fresh and unique potted plants.
The superintendent of the shrine allocated fine incense and candles, and also sent many newly printed scriptures. The old cymbals have also been replaced with new ones.
The vegetables and fruits that have been allocated to Feixian Guan in the past few days are more than one level better than before. Whether it is the palace people who are in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, or the Taoists in other Taoist temples around them, the people who see Feixian Temple are very polite and polite, and the original Kundao of Feixian Temple suddenly feels that life is much better.
On the first day when the Queen Mother was going to come to offer incense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Feixian Temple. The prince came here to check whether the internal officials and the palace supervisor were qualified to repair the Flying Immortal Temple, and to make sure that the Queen Mother felt comfortable when she came to offer incense.
Accompanied by Zhaoming Zhenren, the prince walked around the Flying Immortal Temple several times, and checked everything in detail. Then he went to the great hall and offered incense before God, and prayed silently for a long time.
