Night 6 Tibetan Taoist Temple in the Mountains (3)
When the host of the Taoist temple heard that someone from Donghai Town was coming, he immediately came out to greet him. He had heard the merchants from the East China Sea mention these dream people who had exterminated the bandits, and he was quite interested in them. After a brief exchange with Huang Zhi, the representative of Donghai Town, the two have become friends who talk about everything.
The topic first revolved around the "Sixty-four Hexagram Mountain Dao Array", which is the masterpiece of Yi Chenzi, the abbot of the Taoist Temple. Hearing that Huang Zhi was quite interested in this formation, Yi Chenzi was happy to teach him the tricks of this formation, but the premise was that he had to learn the art of divination.
"Divination" belongs to the e-rank skill of the special skill of "Yishu", which cannot be learned in the town office of Donghai Town. But this was not a problem, Weichenzi used the Daigo Empowerment Technique to teach Huang Zhi the E-rank "Yishu" skill for free on the spot.
The real problem didn't become apparent until Huang Zhi learned the "Yi Shu", the rank of the "Sixty-four Hexagram Mountain Dao Array" was too high, and the basic condition for setting up this formation was that the "Yi Shu" reached the A rank and mastered the "Array" technique, even if he retreated to the second best place and only mastered the ability to pass this formation, he must at least be promoted to the B rank to master the "Breaking Formation" technique. This required Huang Zhi to spend 14,000 points, and at the same time, he had to put in a lot of energy to improve his skill proficiency.
Huang Zhi didn't expect that he would have mastered the "formation" one day, and he didn't even dare to think about the relatively easy "breaking the formation", he didn't have so many points and energy. However, even if it is the "easy technique" skill of the E rank, it is also a special skill that can be encountered.
"Such a god!" Xiaofeng was amazed. Although he didn't know anything about the sixty-four hexagrams, and even the eight hexagrams of the eight trigrams he could only read correctly before, he still couldn't resist his strong curiosity. "From then on, no matter what we want to do, you will count the hexagram, and if the result is not good, we will not do it."
Yi Chenzi was not very old, at least on the surface, he stroked his long black beard, shook his head and said, "If this benefactor thinks so, it is a thousand miles wrong." Everything has cause and effect, and this way of divination is to calculate the cause and not the effect. The way of divination is to explore the laws of the development of affairs, not simply to calculate good fortune and evil. Through divination, we can know what kind of causes can be good and avoid evil, and we should do it, and if we don't do it, we don't do it. ”
Xiao Feng already knew that his problem was about to lead to a bunch of things like heavenly books, so he secretly glanced at the captain, and then carefully moved his position back, as far away from Sima Fuqiang as possible. lest when the boss himself can't understand it for a while, he will be angry and slap himself again.
"In the world, everything is changing at any time, and the same is true of hexagrams. The outcome of a thing is not predestined to be unchanging from the beginning, but constantly changing with every choice made by the person doing it. All in all, divination is about letting us know how to choose the right way to do things, not what we should or shouldn't do. ”
For the theory of Yichenzi, Huang Zhi has heard of it, when he was in college, he was very bored to buy a copy of "Zhou Yi Introduction" and wanted to learn divination, but at the beginning of the chapter saw a lot of mysterious and mysterious theories, in the final analysis, it is Yichenzi's sentence, divination can not really judge the good and bad of a thing, but must be combined with various local conditions at that time, in order to make a correct analysis.
"I have traveled all over the world before, and I have also seen some small local temples, where the monks and Taoists help people to calculate the hexagram, that is, they shake and shake with a sticker, and they can be counted if they fall out of a certain sign, so is it true or false?" Don't dare to mention the real world directly, he can only talk about things with his travels.
"It's both true and false." Yi Chenzi's answer was as mysterious as ever, "That's the path of divination, that is, the skill of micro-end, with the 'easy technique' you have learned now, you can do what they do." ”
"So it's true?" Huang Zhi couldn't help but be a little stunned, he had always thought that those were all deceptive things, but at this moment, when Yichenzi said this, he couldn't help but believe it. If this divination is false, then how should the "Sixty-four Hexagram Mountain Dao Array" be explained?
"It's not all true. Poor Dao has also traveled all over the world, and in some places there are only a dozen or so bamboo sticks such as 'upper sign', 'lower sign' or 'auspicious' and 'fierce' in the lottery holder, which is false, because divination calculates cause rather than effect. If the bamboo stick is sixty-four hexagrams, then it is true, but the key to the effect of divination depends on the level of the person who helps you calculate the hexagram. But in the final analysis, unless the fortune teller follows you from time to time, the cause and effect calculated in advance will inevitably be unrecognizable in every change. ”
Huang Zhi suddenly realized, "That is to say, only those who know divination can really use this skill to avoid evil?" ”
"That's right, this is what Taoists often say, 'the secret of heaven cannot be leaked', not that it cannot be leaked, but that there are too many variables to be leaked in advance."
Subsequently, Yi Chenzi took his "Great You" as an example to guide Huang Zhi to guide his actions through the various variables shown in the hexagram to guide his actions to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
Huang Zhi listened to it, but his teammates were groggy and sleepy. The captain Sima Fuqiang lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about, and he didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two at all. Wanyue and Wuyang didn't know when to take the lead in meeting Zhou Gong. Even though Xiaofeng didn't understand, he was too curious, so although he was tired of listening, he still held on. The two women hid in the farthest place and whispered.
Fortunately, when it was dinner time, Yi Chenzi and Huang Zhi had to temporarily stop the exchange of divination and continue to talk after dinner.
At dinner, Sima Fuqiang, who had been very quiet, finally spoke, "Dao Chief, in fact, we are here on this trip, and we have other important matters to discuss with you. ”
"Oh, this is Tokai Castle Keeper, please speak." Yi Chenzi was obviously not as enthusiastic about him as he was about Huang Zhi.
"I heard that the East China Sea View has taken in a group of displaced people from Xin County, I wonder if we can arrange for them to settle in our East China Sea territory?" Sima initiated not wanting to go around in circles, so he directly explained his intentions.
"Hehe, I see. It's a pity that these displaced people are not from our Taoist temple, and their fate and stay are not the final word of the poor Tao. Yi Chenzi turned his head to look at Huang Zhi who was sitting on his right hand, and when he saw him showing a pleading look, he changed his words again, "However, Poor Dao can say something for you, provided that there are indeed conditions to attract displaced people in your East China Sea territory." ”
How could Sima Fuqiang not know that it was Huang Zhi's personal charm that played a role, "Then thank you Dao Chang." In his opinion, as long as he can find a way to hold the border checkpoint, Donghai Town at this time is indeed much better than Xin County and Wei County.
After dinner, except for Huang Zhi who continued to talk with Yi Chenzi at night, the rest of the people went to the guest room to rest under the arrangement of Daotong. Sima Fuqiang got Yi Chenzi's promise, and said that he would take them to the small valley near the Taoist temple that the displaced people had cleared during the day, and by the way, he would help persuade the displaced people to migrate to the East China Sea.
Yi Chenzi and Huang Zhi chatted more and more, and taught him how to use three copper plates to start a class to calculate hexagrams, how to define yang and yin, and how to analyze the old yang and old yin hexagrams that appear in the hexagrams. It wasn't until the third watch in the middle of the night that a familiar voice suddenly came out of Huang Zhi's mind, "Huang Zhi, the person in the dream, has been taught by Yichenzi Dao Chang, and the 'Yishu' skill has been upgraded to the D rank, and the D skill 'Divination Interpretation' has been mastered." ”
Huang Zhi was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, he thought that it was amazing enough for him to upgrade the "archery" rank in battle, but he didn't expect that chatting could improve the "Yishu" rank. This dream world is really not the most magical, only more magical.
