Chapter 15 Ancient Books

I didn't sleep at all that night, or rather, I didn't feel sleepy at all.

Especially after the old man handed me these two books, I was even more sober, and I looked at the books with the lamp on, and the kind of energetic energy was more than when I was admitted to university.

Originally, I thought that these two books were the secret books of the Shen family, which were equivalent to the Jiuyang Divine Skill that Zhang Wuji learned, and I could cultivate peerless martial arts after reading this secret book.

But the truth was far from what I expected.

Take "The Explanation of the Flesh and Fetus" as an example, at first I thought that this book was extraordinary, and I couldn't be reborn after reading it, no matter how it should be a great book of teachings.

But when I opened the book, my head suddenly got bigger.

As I guessed, the book is full of classical Chinese, densely packed with not only words, but also many human body acupuncture point diagrams, as well as human skeleton diagrams, and so on.

But this doesn't bother me, after all, when I was studying Chinese medicine, many classics were photocopied from ancient books, and in order to understand those books, I even turned over the Kangxi dictionary.......

To be honest, this book gives me a bit of a headache, and it always gives me the feeling of a Chinese medicine book, and it doesn't arouse my interest at all.

I flipped through it and put it down, and when I looked up, I saw another book in my hand, so I simply changed it to read.

I have to say that the content of the book "Fang Shengzhi" is much more interesting than "The General Understanding of the Flesh and Fetus".

It can be renamed "Mr. Entering the Industry Encyclopedia", or "Mr. Entering the Industry Eight Hundred Questions".

It is not an exaggeration to say that "Fang Shengzhi" is an encyclopedia in the industry, the content in it is simpler than I imagined, it can be said to be easy to understand, and it does not seem to be profound at all.

After reading two pages, I felt that the door to a new world had been opened, sincerely.

The content of this book, although it is only the surface of the knowledge in the industry, can be regarded as common sense.

The whole book is divided into five parts, one of which is occupied by heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts.

I roughly flipped through it, the heavenly part is about the celestial climate, the earth part is about feng shui common sense, and the god department is about folklore, the gods of Buddhism and Taoism.......

The ghost department and the human department are the most complex in the whole book, and they are also the content with the largest number of words.

The content of the former is relatively simple, only introducing common ghosts and ghosts, but the overall word count is not small, accounting for dozens of pages.

As for the latter, the content recorded in it is much more messy, not only linking human diseases with yin and yang, but also introducing a lot of common sense in the industry.

For example, in the pages of "Metals" in the Human Department, there are many connections between metals and Yin-Yang science.

Let me give you a few examples, for example, copper is a metal that looks good and is easy to use, and it was even more precious in ancient times.

Its conductivity to yin and yang qi can be said to be the best, so most ritual instruments are made of copper.

Relatively, there is a strong and there is a weak, since there is the best conductor of yin and yang, then there is naturally an insulator.

There is only one metal that can really insulate yin and yang.

Iron.

Metals such as iron do not go through yin and yang, nor do they penetrate yin and yang, so it can be said that the insulation is taken to the extreme......

In the human department, the introduction of "qi" is also extremely detailed.

Not only does it introduce the two qi of yin and yang that are often heard, but also life, death, corpse, evil and so on.......

As for the naturally generated earth qi and mountain and river qi, there are also more detailed descriptions.

I was fascinated by it, when the old man pushed the door in, and when he saw that I was still reading, he asked me with some doubts: "You haven't slept?" ”

"Nope." I nodded: "I didn't go to sleep if I didn't feel sleepy, let's see before I go to sleep." ”

"Don't you look at what time it is......" the old man smiled and pointed out the window.

Following the old man's point, I glanced out the window and saw that the sky outside had turned pale red.

"Sunrise?" I was stunned: "Why does this time pass so quickly......"

"How's it going?" The old man asked me.

"I haven't seen much of the flesh and fetus, I feel a little profound, although I can read it, but the content is too amazing......" I smiled bitterly: "It's like Chinese medicine and not Chinese medicine, there are a lot of knowledge points that conflict with the Chinese medicine I learned, or you can teach me?" ”

"What about the other one?" The old man asked again.

"After reading half of the book, I didn't remember the content about Feng Shui, but I remembered the others for seven or eight points." I said it truthfully, and then added: "Of course, I mean remember approximately, not the kind of ...... that doesn't fall word for word."

"It's okay, just get the meaning done." The old man nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I got this "Fang Shengzhi" from a friend, this is a book written by someone himself, don't break it for Lao Tzu." ”

As he spoke, the old man came up to me and asked me with great interest, "Where do you see it?" ”

"Gas." I pointed to the contents of the book and couldn't help asking, "Master, I can probably understand the qi here, but it's the mountain and river qi...... Doesn't it mean the same as the earth's qi? Why do you want to say it separately? ”

"Mountains and rivers are mountains and rivers, and earth is earth." The old man said: "These two similarities also coexist, but the earth qi can stretch for thousands of miles, but the mountain and river qi can only be confined to one mountain and river, and very few are dispersed, so ......"

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly stopped squeaking, and looked at the contents of the book, and his expression became complicated.

There was silence for half a minute before the old man spoke: "There are thousands of Dharma sects in our industry, but only one relies on the spirit of mountains and rivers to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits. ”

"Which one?" I asked curiously, "Is it amazing?" ”

"Awesome." The old man nodded: "The person who wrote this book is one of the gentlemen who rely on the mountains and rivers to eat, that person's surname is Fang, and I am a gentleman of the same generation, we fought when we were young, and we can't tell whether we win or lose, how powerful do you say he is?" ”

"Maybe you'll be better than him when you're old." I comforted.

"Maybe." The old man smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know if the old dog is still alive." ”

"What's that sect called? Is it Feng Shui? I asked, flipping through the pages of the book, hoping to find an answer.

"It doesn't count." The old man said: "That sect is called Shanhemen, and the children under the sect are all called Mr. Shanhe, and some people call them Shanhe Master.......

The old man said, lit a cigarette, smoked slowly, and said to me as if recalling: "The most glorious time of this sect of law should be in the Tang and Song dynasties, it is said that the most powerful gentleman in the sect can rise up to worship the heavens, and borrow 100,000 miles of mountains and rivers in one breath to suppress the evil spirits. ”

"Wrongs are a general term, right?" I asked, "I read that it says that beasts, ghosts, corpses, anything other than a living person is called an injustice." ”

"Sort of." The old man nodded and patted me on the shoulder: "I'm not in a hurry to read for a while, let's have breakfast first." ”

I hummed, then carefully put away the book and followed the old man downstairs.

But it's also a coincidence.

As soon as we pushed open the door and went out, we were discussing what to eat for breakfast, when we saw Old Man Chen standing on the side, his hand still raised, as if he was about to knock on the door.

"Oops! What a coincidence! Old man Chen greeted us with a smile: "Old Shen, where are you going?" ”

"Can you handle it?" The old man gave him a blank look: "I've finished the matter for you, are you satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, must be satisfied." Old man Chen sighed, and there was a sense of admiration in and out of his words: "Your face of the Living Yama King is really still valuable, those subordinates have already left Chengdu, and the latest one also left two hours ago." ”

The old man nodded and didn't say anything.

"You helped with the first one, and the second one ......." Old man Chen rubbed his palms and looked at the old man with some expectation: "How are you thinking about the matter of the five blessings?" ”

"Is there any benefit other than being convenient for my grandson?" The old man asked rhetorically.

"You really let Xiao Shen enter the industry??" Old man Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect it to be so soon.

The old man ignored him and asked directly: "Do you want to give money?" If you don't give money, you can't do anything! ”

Hearing the old man say this, I was indeed a little confused, didn't this old man teach me not to be blinded by money? What does this mean?

"What do you want?" The old man seemed to know what I was thinking, so he explained impatiently: "It's really inappropriate to ask someone who has no money to ask for money, but when you meet a rich person, you don't knock him a sum of money, are you stupid?" Do you really think of yourself as Lei Feng? ”

Without waiting for me to say anything, Old Man Chen opened his mouth with a smile and said kindly: "How much do you want, you say a number, I promise to satisfy you!" ”

The old man raised an index finger and said in a straight voice.

"Lao Tzu hasn't eaten now, so I want 10 million!"

Old man Chen stopped squeaking, looked at the old man with special hatred, and muttered softly: "Mom, play rhyme with Lao Tzu again......"
