Chapter Eighty-Four: Good Words
"Obey the teacher's uncle's decree." When the four Maoshan disciples heard Jin Zhen's words, they immediately said in unison, and they withdrew from the side hall and did their own duties.
"Thank you, Brother Du." Zuo Dengfeng stood up and thanked the golden needle. The merit book is densely recorded with dozens of pages of pilgrims' requests, and the four selected by the golden needle are all events with representative surnames, and the purpose is naturally to clarify the principles and methods of the five elements of yin and yang to Zuo Dengfeng through the handling of these things, and Zuo Dengfeng is well aware of his intentions.
"Don't see the outside, but a few of them are really lucky, these things are usually done by the disciples of the sect." Jin Zhen picked up the teacup and motioned to Zuo Dengfeng to drink tea.
"How many peers does the eldest brother have?" Zuo Dengfeng picked up the teacup and asked casually. The four people who were ordered to go down the mountain just now shouted that the golden needle was the uncle, which showed that there was a senior brother on the golden needle.
"There are a total of four disciples of the first master, and I am ranked last, and I am ashamed to be the one hundred and twenty-fifth generation of masters." Jin Zhen replied casually.
"What is the relationship between those Dao Elders in the main hall and the eldest brother?" After the business was finished, the two began to gossip.
"They are the disciples of my three senior brothers, and there are also senior uncles, but most of them don't know advanced Taoism." Jin Zhen said casually.
"Oh?" Zuo Dengfeng looked curious. It turns out that not every Maoshan disciple is qualified to learn spells.
"Maoshan Ancestral Training, only the disciples of the master are qualified to practice advanced spells, and the one hundred and twenty-fifth generation of disciples only the four of us senior brothers have learned the orthodox spells, and my three senior brothers are not allowed to teach the disciples advanced spells, only my personal disciples are qualified to learn, so as to ensure the orthodox single line of magic inheritance." Jin Zhen told the secret of the master.
"How many disciples does Big Brother have?" Zuo Dengfeng asked curiously.
"I am extremely strict in selecting disciples, and now I only have Qianli myself, this son's surname is benevolent, and his surname is extremely high, not surprisingly, he should be the next Maoshan master." The golden needle nodded and spoke. It is not easy for a master to meet a good apprentice.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded again and again when he heard this, the hierarchical concept of the Maoshan faction is extremely strict, not a personal disciple does not even have the opportunity to learn advanced spells, this seemingly ruthless practice is actually in line with the natural law of natural selection, and the superior comes first.
"Brother, it's not early, you go back to the room early to rest, these families are not close to here, we can't come back in a short time, I'll arrange the things in the party, and we will have to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning." Golden Needle put down the teacup and stood up.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded and agreed, and followed Daotong to the room where he stayed, the room was very tidy, the bedding and bedding were new, Zuo Dengfeng didn't touch those bedding with filth, and the clothes made do with the chair all night, Thirteen didn't care about that set, and went straight to bed.
"Take it away, the master has instructed me, don't send washing water." The next morning, Zuo Dengfeng heard footsteps and talking sounds outside the door. Wei Yi groaned and understood the carefulness of the golden needle, if the Taoist sent the washing water, there would be a suspicion of disgusting Zuo Dengfeng's filth, so the golden needle specifically instructed the Taoist not to send washing water to Zuo Dengfeng, so as not to be distracted.
"Don't go, it's true that I don't wash my face, but I wash my hands." Zuo Dengfeng reacted, opened the door and shouted to Dao Tong who turned around and wanted to leave.
Packed up, after breakfast, Jin Zhen came to invite Zuo Dengfeng on the road. The golden needle is more formal today, the golden robe is embroidered with gossip and stabbing yin and yang, stepping on white boots, wearing a hibiscus crown, holding a green silk dust, a heroic posture, and a fairy wind for the Taoist bones.
It is a big event to teach and travel, everyone sees them off, and eight people follow them.
"I'm shallow on the outside, and you're deep on the inside, in fact, I hate this kind of guard of honor, but my ancestors passed down such a rule." After descending the mountain, the two walked side by side.
"Big brother, where are we going first?" Zuo Dengfeng is more concerned about the arrangement of the itinerary.
"Let's go and see a house for the county lord first." The golden needle stretched out his hand and pointed westward.
After walking twenty miles, the group came to the county seat, and the county magistrate had already learned that Jin Zhen was going to personally show him the feng shui of the residence, and he had been waiting in front of the city gate for a long time. In the eyes of Zuo Dengfeng, Du Qiuting is just a friend worth dating, but in the eyes of these secular people, he is an immortal, and his presence makes the county magistrate incoherent with excitement.
"Get down to business first." Jin Zhen declined the county magistrate's banquet and asked the county magistrate to take everyone to his house.
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately took Jin Zhen and the others to an old mansion, which was his ancestral home, and he had been living here. There was a governor and a Taoist platform in the ancestor, and when it was his turn, he only became a county magistrate, so the county magistrate felt that there was something wrong with the feng shui of the ancestral house, otherwise how could the three generations of ancestors become smaller and smaller.
The ancestral house of the county magistrate is a very large house, divided into the front yard and the back yard, the front yard and the back yard have east and west wings, the middle is connected by the gatehouse, the whole building appears to be decent, the atmosphere is calm.
Jin Zhen circled around the courtyard, and then walked to the stone pier in the backyard and sat down, accompanied by the county magistrate and Zuo Dengfeng.
"People's fate and fortune are determined by many factors, it is very complicated, simply put, there are three more important factors, the first is the time of the day, the time of the day refers to the ancestral shade, that is, the positive or negative impact of the ancestors on the descendants of the accumulation of virtue or evil, whether a person is doing good or bad things when he is alive will not have an impact on his fortune and lifespan, he will not be rewarded for doing good things, he will not be punished for doing bad things, it is his descendants who are rewarded or punished, as the old saying goes. Woe to the children and grandchildren' and 'blessing of the descendants' are based on this principle. The severest punishment the gods can give to a person is to forbid the continuation of his bloodline, which is what we call the cutting off of offspring. Some people will feel that their descendants are innocent, but in fact, they are not innocent, because they are the continuation of the bloodline of their ancestors, and the ancestors have accumulated yin virtue by doing good deeds, and they benefit from it with peace of mind. The ancestors did bad things and hurt Yin Virtue, and they were also punished righteously. Jin Zhen talked eloquently.
"Big brother, why is there no current report?" Zuo Dengfeng asked. Although what Jin Needle said seemed to have nothing to do with the formation, Zuo Dengfeng was still very interested, because he knew that these words were unheard by ordinary people.
"You should have heard the old saying 'closing the coffin', a person's merits and demerits can only be determined on the day he dies, and whether a person has done more evil or done more good in his life can only be determined at the last moment, and when it is finally determined, the person is also dead. When a man dies, the consequences of what he has done in his life can only be borne by his children and grandchildren. The gods don't keep small accounts for people piecemeal, they will settle it after the fall. Jin Zhen turned his head and glanced at the county magistrate, at this time the devil had already occupied the county seat, and this county magistrate was also a Han annihilation to put it bluntly. The reason why Jin Zhen wanted to come to show him the mansion was just to let Zuo Dengfeng observe the truth of the five elements of yin and yang on the side.
"Yes, yes, Du Zhenren's golden and jade good words, Gou must remember it in his heart." The county magistrate nodded repeatedly.
"I'm just talking about the truth, the time of day is the ancestral shade, and the ancestral shade can't be changed, so let's just know. The second thing that may affect fate and qi is geographical advantage, which is composed of two aspects, one is the innate earth qi, and the other is the acquired earth qi. After 7749 days after a person was born, the three souls and seven spirits all returned to their places and were grounded. At this time, where the baby is, where the earth qi will affect his future qi number, even if the baby grows up and leaves here, his breath will always be connected with the local breath where he was born forty-nine days ago, this is the innate earth qi. The place where the baby lives when he grows up will also have an impact on his fortune, but it will not have a big impact, which is the so-called acquired qi. The acquired earth qi occupies 30% of the earth's qi, and the congenital earth qi occupies 70% of the earth's qi.
The third point is harmony, and harmony is also divided into two aspects, the most important is the wife, the husband and wife are in the same breath, and the level of the wife's fortune will also determine the husband's fortune. Friends are also important, and if a colleague or someone you work with is at odds with you, it can also affect your fortune, but this is a small percentage. In the final analysis, there are only three ways to change the number of qi, one is to do good deeds to the ancestors, the second is to choose a good house, and the third is to find a good partner. "The golden needle explained in detail that the time and place are favorable.
"Real person, do you think there is anything in my yard that needs to be repaired?" The county magistrate asked what he was most concerned about.
"You've lived in this house for too long, and there are ghosts haunting you, so you need to do something big and change the layout in the room." Jin Zhen had a serious look on his face.
"Huh?!" The county magistrate Gou immediately turned green when he heard this, in his opinion, the Maoshan Palm Sect is a peerless master, the master said that there must be a ghost, but he didn't know that the Maoshan Palm Sect would also scare people, although Zuo Dengfeng couldn't see the souls, but he could feel their existence, this house was very clean, how could there be any ghosts, it was clearly a golden needle to scare him.
"Du Zhenren, you can save me." The county magistrate Gou cried and begged with a sad face.
"Well, you get out of the way, I'm going to get up the altar." Jin Zhen stood up and waved at the people of Maoshan Mountain, and everyone immediately walked into the courtyard to arrange the altar.
"Big brother, is there a problem with the feng shui of this yard?" Zuo Dengfeng saw that the county magistrate had hidden in the backyard, so he asked.
"No, when this house was built, it should have been a location chosen by Mr. Feng Shui, come, go up." The golden needle said that he stepped on the ground and borrowed strength, pulling ten zhang high, and Zuo Dengfeng saw this and went up.
"The quality of the feng shui of the house is divided into three products, the lower grade is the five elements within the yard, the middle grade is not lacking in the five elements within ten miles, and the upper grade is all five elements within a hundred miles, this house is the middle grade, you look down and take a closer look." Jin Zhen reminded that both of them could stay in the air for a period of time after the volley.
Zuo Dengfeng immediately lowered his head and looked down when he heard this, but he didn't find the obvious five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. ”
"It's like a place to smelt metal." Zuo Dengfeng replied. Eight miles to the northwest, there is a chimney in the mountains, which is smoking at the moment.
"Yes, brass has been mined and smelted there since the Qing Dynasty." The golden needle nodded and spoke, and then fell to the ground, Zuo Dengfeng fell back, and everyone's eyes when they looked at Zuo Dengfeng immediately changed dramatically, and they no longer dared to treat him as a flower child.
"But there's only gold, and there's not much wood, water, fire, and earth." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said.
"It takes a lot of wood to smelt metal, it takes a lot of water to cool metal, and fire is naturally needed to melt metal, and soil can be seen everywhere. The golden needle explained.
"Why is it only his family?" Zuo Dengfeng suddenly realized that he once again expressed the doubts in his heart.
"The mountain behind the copper mine is fan-shaped, and when it extends and closes, it is exactly aimed at this house." The golden needle stretched out its hand and gestured.
"I see, since there is no problem with his house, why is the official getting smaller and smaller." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and smiled. Zuo Dengfeng is very smart, and the reason why he doesn't understand the five elements of yin and yang is because no one guides his thinking in this direction.
"The ancient law stipulates that the emperor can have eighty-one women, the princes can have nine, the officials can have three, and the ordinary people can only have one, the reason why there is this kind of regulation is because the people who make the law understand the balance of yin and yang, the emperor, the princes, the officials, these people's qi is far stronger than ordinary people, and a simple woman is not enough to balance their extraordinary qi, so it must be balanced by eighty-one, nine, and three, if it is less than this number, the qi number will be shifted. If it is more than this amount, the number of qi will weaken, and this little county magistrate actually married Mrs. Qifang, and this county magistrate will not be able to work for long. "The golden needle points out the problem, in fact, there is no problem in this house, the problem is the people in the house.
"Okay, I'll do the practice first, and I'll take you to the room in a while, and tell you how to arrange the room to balance yin and yang, and complete the five elements." Jin Zhen said with a smile.
"Since there are no ghosts, what are you doing? They're all watching. Zuo Dengfeng snorted in the backyard.
"Let's play a few tricks, or I'll be embarrassed to take the money for a while......"
