Chapter 11

As soon as the matter of the two couples asking for fortunes passed, the monk's business was full of enthusiasm, and the villagers who came to tell fortunes and divination were in an endless stream, scrambling for fear that they would not be able to get guidance from a master.

Those who seek wealth, those who seek marriage, those who seek a future, everything.

Fortunately, the monk accepted it when he saw it, and Xu felt that the inside of the waist bag was almost the same. shouted at the crowd: "Thank you fellow villagers for seeing this way, it is really a limited way, and today it has reached the limit, and I can't afford to hexagram it for everyone." ”

The unwilling villagers still didn't want to let the monk go, but they had nothing to do. watched the monk leave, still shouting at his back, asking if he would come back tomorrow.

By the time I caught up with the monk, he was nestled in the corner, babbling with a man, occasionally looking back cautiously like a thief.

When I look closely, isn't this the same old man who used to make the stall and the fortune teller?

This old man is one meter and five small, lean and lean, bald, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes. When you laugh, your eyes are slitted and there are a few wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. Looking at his age, he is afraid to be around 50 years old, wearing black short sleeves, long pants, and free shoes.

The two of them just stood there, as if they were planning to rob the shop.

"It's over, it's coming, run." When the bald man saw me approaching, he was like a frightened rabbit and was about to run away.

The movements are skillful, and it seems that he is usually chased and shouted and beaten.

The monk was quick with his hands and feet, grabbed him, and said disdainfully: "What are you running, a gang." ”

A gang?

Hearing the monk say this, I became their gang instead. I thought that I couldn't care about what you were doing and deceiving the villagers, but it would never be wrong to stay away.

"Look up for a long time!" Bald smile and clench fists.

"This is not the place to talk, find a shop to eat and talk." Monk Dao.

On the recommendation of Bald, we found a small restaurant on the side of the road. ordered a special dry pot, the monk and the bald man were both greedy, and they wanted to drink farmhouse wine.

What a raccoon dog.

"The trail has traveled all over Guishu and other places, and a little famous Taoist friend has seen it, why have you never seen a Taoist friend?" Bald took a sip of wine, sighed darkly, and said to the monk with admiration: "Daoyou is so old that you have a deep understanding of what you can see, you have to admire." ”

"Hey, what's so hard about that, practice makes perfect." The monk waved his hand casually, the corners of his eyes were inevitably colorful, and he replied: "Don't you say this way?" When I first came to your place, I was nervous and had no choice but to make this decision. On weekdays, I don't dare to hexagram easily, this thing is too deep, one is not good, and I have to pay myself in. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the Tao can't go home, and it's better to have less of it." Bald agreed, then looked at me and asked politely, "I don't know this fellow Daoist?" ”

"This is my junior brother, I just started a short time, and I don't know how to count Xuanmen, so today I and I will follow the elders to do something." The monk introduced me in just two sentences, without mentioning my name or surname, or introducing the old man.

"What do you say, can this Chinese medicine be linked to fortune telling?" Bald is not a good person at first glance, I didn't pay too much attention to him, I was just curious about the street divination he talked about, and the tricks he used to deceive people.

"This Taoist friend doesn't know that our Taoism is broad and profound, and has a long history. Since they are all the same door, Xiaodao is honored to explain a little to Taoist friends. Bald smiled, and spoke for me.

Divination, also known as Dao Zhan, originated from ancient magic, among which Zhu Youshu was popular for a while and had a far-reaching influence. Many famous documents have been recorded, such as "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", "Historical Records" and so on.

Dao Zhanshu was first used in Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi, and was perfected by Guiguzi and Laozi, and a certain system has been initially formed. However, the art of Dao Zhanshu is known to the world, and it was later that Zhang Liang, Dong Zhongshu, Sima Qian and other famous masters studied and improved and applied it in practice.

Dao Zhanshu is one of the branches of Taoist scholarship, which involves the five elements of yin and yang, the heavenly and earthly branches, and the Jiazi Bagua and other theories. If you want to find out the way, you not only need to be taught orally by a high-ranking person, but also be familiar with the secret books left behind from generations.

The most important point is the individual's innate ability and acquired continuous efforts.

Therefore, ordinary people don't talk about the art of divination, and they can't even grasp the hair.

"In the past few decades, I have traveled to many places and seen many people who make a living by divination. But I have never seen a Taoist friend or predecessor who can peek into the heavens, look through the past and the present, and understand astronomy and geography. "Baldness is a little regrettable.

"It's easier said than done to peek into the heavens! Who would go out on the street and do such a fateful thing for those few dollars. The monk drank happily, and put the wine bowl on the table with a bang, with three points of drunkenness.

"Destiny is hard to disobey! We are ordinary people, even if we can know the destiny of heaven, it is very lucky, and it is not easy to change our lives. Bald sighed, drinking to himself, while beckoning the monk to continue drinking. After drinking satisfied, he continued to me: "Many Taoist friends who have just touched the skin of Taoism, in order to mix up their mouths and eat, for a long time, they will refine them according to the written words in the Taoist occupation, so as to give rise to the now widely used 'looking, hearing, asking, and cutting' technique. ”

I have heard that in traditional Chinese medicine, 'looking, smelling, asking, and seeing' generally refers to looking at the complexion, listening to the sounds, asking about the symptoms, and feeling the pulse, which are the four diagnoses.

And fortune tellers who are diviners also have 'looking, hearing, asking, and seeing'. They observe words and looks, knock on the side, psychological hints, etc., and collect information about the people who come to ask the divination. Give ambiguity to any information, and never drive yourself into a dead end.

Most of them only measure the future, not the past.

Because the future is volatile, no one can be sure. And the past is a fact, the answer is clear, and it is easy to reveal.

Many fortune tellers, in order to make a real big deal, most of the time, they will gang up to commit crimes. The division of labor collects information from the seekers, and in order to dig up a message, even other people's ancestral graves can be dug out.

When you understand a certain situation, you will gossip and explain to you a metaphysics that you don't understand. Those theories involved in Taoism are difficult for ordinary people to even recognize, let alone understand, let alone the rural people.

Say you're an ox, and you've got to be a cow! Say that you are guilty of nemesis, and if you are vicious, you must have it.

Don't listen?

Psychologically intimidated him, scaring him with his life, relatives and friends, the destruction of his family and the future of his official position.

Anyway, he will say whatever he is afraid of, people will always have seven emotions and six desires, and people will always have weakness.

Listen? That's easy to say.

But I also have to be embarrassed, after all, the destiny of heaven is difficult to violate, and we will change your life for you against the sky, we are not relatives, is this appropriate?

We must hesitate and be in a dilemma. keeps hinting that this matter can't be solved with money, but whether I'm willing to help you.

Actually, it's just to get you to take the money, and you have to be generous and sincere.

Finally, let the fortune teller understand that you are forced to collect your money, and you are begging me to accept it.

And I am awe-inspiring, selling heaven for you, risking my life.

A person from outside the world, with the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.

What is outfitting? This is the time to show that you are pretending. Acting is not only an actor's business, you must also be a good actor for divination and life for others!

"After talking for a long time, isn't this just a lie?" The bald old man said that the head was the way, and I was stunned for a while, and I looked down on the bald man more and more, and my face was slightly cold.

Okay, you've figured out your fortune and philosophy.

"Uh... This.... The bald man looked at me embarrassedly, and then looked at the monk in embarrassment. He didn't know why I was so reckless and exposed the scars as fellow Taoist friends, and everyone shared their experiences.

Even if you lie, don't say it, everyone can understand it in their hearts.

"Leave him alone, he is still a basin of clear water, he doesn't understand anything, he thinks that the world is full of Lei Feng." The monk didn't care, and it looked like he was about to get drunk.

Charlatan deception is charlatanism, where it can be on the table, only backward and ignorant people will be deceived.

Thinking of this, I don't have the slightest intention to continue learning the Tao. Isn't this clear, a liar is a liar, but the trick is good and bad.

"I said scholar, don't be convinced." The monk was full of food and drink, his legs on the stool, holding a toothpick and priing his teeth, and his eyes were half squinted comfortably.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the monk said with a sigh: "What we just said is just some fortune tellers who know a little bit about the skin, and they are just to make a living. If you are really a master of the Tao, how can you have nothing to do for people to divination, these predecessors, the pursuit of nature is different from these fortune tellers. ”

"Yes, yes, although these people's fortune-telling is a fraud, they really have Taoist friends or seniors who have the ability to do things, and their divination skills are true." Bald nodded in agreement.

"Just by what you say, it is so difficult to enter the Tao, is there really such a master?" Well, those who are poor rely on deception, and those who are high in Taoism live in seclusion.

"Of course, Master Dao, I've seen a lot of such masters." The monk said casually.

"Yo, no wonder you think that Daoyou has such skills at a young age, it turns out that he has been guided by a master?" Looking at the bald man's shocked expression, I was numb.

These two should really have a combination, it's too tacit, especially bald, this cross talk role is too well done.

"My master is one, although he often plays the world, he doesn't do his job properly, and he is crazy. But there is no denying his ways. The monk looked at me again and said, "Then there is your grandfather Chen Daorong, who can be comparable to his uncle and his old man, in today's world, but only the number of five fingers, even my master's old immortal, his heart is so high, he is obedient." ”

"Chen Daorong?" Bald looked at me, his face was full of shock, he stood up drunkenly holding the table, clasped his hands into fists and said: "It turned out to be the heir of Ah Gong's family, no wonder, it was a small way to be rude." In front of your righteous traditions, put on some evil paths, and be rude. ”
