Chapter 3 Qimen Shield

"Ghost Valley? Are you a ghost? Tianyou's voice was slightly frightened, but he still followed behind Ghost Daozi unhurriedly.

Ghost Daozi stopped his steps, turned around and looked at Tianyou with some doubts, and then seemed to be relieved, and then continued to stroll forward, and said as he walked: "Also, how can you, a flower beggar, know the name of Guigu?" ”

"Although the apprentice has never read a book, he has also walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he still knows a lot of general things!" Tianyou said with some dissatisfaction.

Ghost Daozi laughed loudly and asked Tianyou: "Do you know Wang Chan Ancestor?" ”

Tianyou shook his head and said that he had not heard of him, and bowed down and said, "I hope that the master will teach you!" ”

"Wang Chan Ancestor, also known as Guiguzi! It is a Taoist strange man in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! It is said that there are four flesh moles on the forehead, which is like a ghost, and he lives in seclusion in the ghost valley all the year round, so he calls himself Mr. Guigu. The old ancestor inherited the learning of Lao Dan, and he was a strategist with long and short lengths, a wise man with vast magical powers, an immortal of an unpredictable prophet, and a fateful family who predicted good fortune and evil. Onimichiko explained proudly.

Tianyou couldn't help but show a look of surprise, of course he believed what this ghost Daozi said, because he himself had seen the methods of the ghost Daozi, and the skull floating in the air was not a trick of the rivers and lakes.

Looking at the expression of the ghost Daozi, Tianyou can naturally guess that the ghost Daozi should be the descendant of the Guiguzi! Tianyou couldn't help but sigh: "The ancestor is really admirable and worshipped!" ”

"That's nature! The ancestor is thorough, and no one can reach him. One is mathematics, the sun and the stars are like latitudes, in the palm of his hand, accounting for the past and the future, and everything is verified; The second is military science, six Tao and three strategies, infinite changes, marching in formation, ghosts and gods; The third is to learn words, remember a lot of information, judge the situation with reason, spit out words and argue, and don't take a thousand words; The fourth is born, cultivating the true nature, but the illness is prolonged, taking different introductions, and soaring on the ground. Ghost Daozi looked into the distance, and his eyes showed a look of yearning.

The more Tianyou listened, the more excited he became, and asked cautiously, "Master, are you the descendant of the ancestor?" Wouldn't you be able to do the same with what you're talking about? ”

Ghost Daozi looked at Tianyou, shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Lao Zu is the most mysterious figure in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, his human science and the head of a hundred schools, in astronomy and geography, immortal cultivation, the art of war, the longitude and latitude, the world and other strange things, its traces are all over the place, sometimes hidden and sometimes appearing, is also a human and immortal and real mysterious figure. I'm just a mortal, how can I compare with my ancestors! ”

"Then what will Master do? What skills will the apprentices teach? Tianyou heard Ghost Daozi say this, although he was a little disappointed, he still asked with anticipation.

"We are Guigumen people, Guiguzi Gate is the Guiguzi Gate people spontaneously formed, because the people in the door are not the same, do not specialize in one school, or study a hundred schools, or specialize in art. There are many people in the door and scattered among the hundreds of schools, so there are no sects in the Guigu Gate, there are famous people such as Su Qin and Zhang Yi, the famous military strategists Sun Bin and Pang Juan, there are hidden cultivators, there are unfathomable masters who are respected by the emperor and have some fear, there are strange people who are regarded as immortals by the princes and nobles and ordinary people, there are astronomical almanacists who are proficient in astronomy and mathematics, there are folk warlocks with a bumpy fate at the bottom of the society, and there are businessmen of all sizes who have passed through the world. Instead, they nagged again.

Tianyou couldn't help but wonder, thinking to himself, how long has it been since this master of his own has been talking to people outside, so he had to cough dryly twice, and when the ghost Daozi heard Tianyou's light cough, he seemed to know that he had something to say, and sighed and said: "I was unwilling to specialize in one subject because of my youth and frivolity, and I wanted to study a hundred schools of thought, and now I ended up in a situation where all doors are not good!" ”

Looking at Tianyou's disappointed expression, Ghost Daozi laughed: "Although I am not as good as the ancestors, but it is more than enough to teach you this little beggar, you will not cultivate with me for the time being, and when you have a solid foundation, I will give away what I have learned all my life, you see, the front is the dojo of Guigumen." ”

As he spoke, on a high slope that sloped upward, a tall and mighty cyan stone gate appeared in front of Tianyou's eyes, and on the top of the stone gate were written three simple and vigorous big characters "Guigu Gate".

Before entering the door, Tianyou turned around and looked back, and found that the road at the mouth of the Guigu Valley could be seen with the naked eye, how could it be such a small piece of woods after walking for a day?

Ghost Daozi seemed to know Tianyou's thoughts, so he explained: "The trees in the valley mouth are arranged according to the Bagua Nine Palaces, but they are artificially arranged Qimen Bagua Array, and walking into the formation is like walking into an endless forest, if you don't know where the birth gate is, you will definitely be trapped in the death array." ”

Tianyou couldn't help but feel cold in his back after hearing this, fortunately he worshiped the ghost Taoist as his teacher, otherwise even if he didn't harm himself, I am afraid that he would be trapped in this Qimen gossip array.

"Before you get started, you have to know that you have to major in Qimen Dunjia, and the others are minors for the purpose of entering the WTO!" Ghost Daozi admonished.

Tianyou nodded and said, "Obey the master's orders!" But Master, what is Qimen Dunjia? ”

Ghost Daozi pinched his hands, two chairs appeared in front of him, Ghost Daozi motioned to Tianyou to sit down, and then said: "It's okay, the teacher will explain Qimen Dunjia to you in detail, and after entering the door, you must not say that you are my apprentice!" All I said was that you were an orphan who had strayed into the valley, and I made you a handyman in the door! When the time is ripe, the teacher will naturally come to you to teach you skills! ”

Tianyou knew that there were some things that he shouldn't ask, so he nodded and agreed.

"Qimen Dunjia" is the first of the three secret treasures of Qimen, Liuren and Taiyi, the first of the three styles, the most rational method, known as the highest level of prediction of Huang Lao Taoism, known as the study of the emperor and the highest prediction. When "Qimen Dunjia" was first founded, there were a total of 4,320 games, which were later improved to 1,080 games, and when Jiang Shang was compressed to 72 rounds because of the needs of marching formations, Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty was taught by Huangshi Gong, and reformed again, becoming the Yin Dun Nine Bureau, Yang Dun Nine Bureau, a total of 18 games.

The meaning of "Qimen Dunjia" is composed of three concepts: "Qi", "Gate" and "Dunjia". "Qi" refers to the sun, moon and stars, that is, B, C, and Ding; "Door" is the eight doors of the Yin hexagram, that is, the eight doors of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening; "Escape" is hidden, "Jia" refers to Liujia, that is, Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin, "Jia" is the most noble in the ten stems, it is hidden but not revealed, hidden under the six instruments.

The success or failure of all things is summarized in Qimen Dunjia into five factors, namely, time, location, people, and divine help, and the combination of patterns.

The so-called time of heaven refers to the influence of the operation of celestial bodies on all things, including the changes of wind, rain, thunder and lightning in nature, the constraints of national policies and regulations, wars, natural disasters, etc., all refer to the time of the day, Qimen Dunjia in the nine stars on behalf of the time of the sky, the nine stars are Tianxin Star, Tianpeng Star, Tianren Star, Tianchong Star, Tianfu Star, Tianying Star, Tianrui Star, Tianfowl Star, Tianzhu Star.

The so-called geographical advantage refers to the surrounding geographical environment (such as feng shui) ecological environment, the influence of the earth's magnetic field on things, the structure of mountains, rivers, roads, transportation, and social regions.

The so-called harmony refers to interpersonal relations, differences in ethnic groups, ethics and morality, folk customs, etc., Qimen Dunjia in the eight doors represent people, and the eight doors are open, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, and shock.

The so-called divine help is the eight mysterious natural forces that the ancients discovered in the induction of heaven and man that have corresponding properties to the nine palace gossip, which affect the occurrence and development of things. In Qimen Dunjia, the eight gods represent the divine help, and the eight gods refer to the value symbols (Tianyi nobles) Teng Snake, Taiyin, Liuhe, White Tiger, Xuanwu, Nine Earths, and Nine Heavens.

The so-called pattern group, that is, the subtle changes and change processes that exist in the development process of things, the pattern combination is the combination of heaven, earth, man, god, star, door, odd and instrument in Qimen Dunjia, which is represented by the combination of ten dry grams, eight doors and eight grams, and the combination of stars, doors, odds and instruments.

The occupancy of Qimen Dun is mainly divided into three plates: heaven, door and earth, symbolizing three talents. The nine palaces of the heavenly disk have nine stars, and the eight palaces of the middle plate are covered with eight doors; The eight houses of the site represent the eight directions, standing still; At the same time, on the heavenly disk and earth, each house is assigned a specific three odds and six instruments. In this way, according to the specific time, the six instruments, the three odds, the eight gates, the nine stars and the special Qimen Dunjia pattern are used to measure the movement of all things in the world.

"Do you understand what the teacher said?" Ghost Daozi looked at Tianyou, who was dazed by the sound, and asked.

"Back to Master, the apprentice didn't understand at all!" Tianyou replied embarrassedly.

Ghost Daozi smiled silently and led Tianyou into the door.
