Wuxia Coffin Mountain Chapter 69 The extremes of things must be opposed
Zhang Sanye once stole the ancient mound of the Western Zhou Dynasty, from which he found out the Zhou Tian hexagram that had been lost for thousands of years, so he used the sixteen-character ancient hexagram as a guide, and wrote the art of feng shui yin and yang into it, and wrote a book of "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques", in which yin and yang, feng shui each accounted for half, the yin and yang chapter is the number of calculations, the principle of creation, and the feng shui chapter is the Qingwu dragon hunting, feng shui - only this half volume, it covers the dragon search trick and the art of dividing the gold and setting the acupoints, and the Chinese dynasties and generations of funeral and funeral customs are a collection, which can be described as "exhaustive study of the principles of heaven and earth, A family of its own".
In front of the four disciples, Zhang Sanye ripped off half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", leaving only half a volume of Feng Shui secret art, and incinerated half of the Yin and Yang secret art into ashes in the brazier. Everyone was puzzled and asked the master how mysterious this book was, and why it was burned? From now on, there will no longer be no more ancient hexagrams of Zhou Tian in the world? /
Zhang Sanye said with a smile: "Farming in the dry land, running boats on the waterway, and no fruit growing on people's heads, this is all the way of heaven and heaven, and the rise and fall of the world has always been a certain number, but who can peek into the mystery?" It can only be said that there may be immortals, anyway, it is not what we people in the world should know, although this heavenly opportunity is deep and subtle, but staying in the world will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, only burning the sacrifice genius is right. Then he passed the remaining half of the remnant book to Sun Guofu, the yin and yang eye, and instructed, "Touching the feng shui secret technique of Jin Xiaowei, there is no way, and the three major dragon veins in the north, south and middle have been explored, leaving this half of the remnant book in the world, and it may still have its place in the future. ”
Yin and Yang Eyes Sun Guofu hurriedly thanked Shien, tearfully accepted the remaining book, and left the Shimen to travel away. In the end, Zhang Sanye said to the remaining three people, Lichen, Jin Abacus, and Iron Mill Head, it seems that touching the gold ancient talisman will fall on the three of you. Today is not an auspicious day, and when I was waiting for my son, I worshiped my grandfather, and then I wore a talisman to grant gold.
That night, Zhang Sanye took his three apprentices to the back hall, asked them to kneel in front of the statue of the ancestor Cao Gong, kowtowed, put on incense, and passed a gold talisman to each of them.
Later, it was necessary to pass on the rules, instruments, stories, etc., Zhang Sanye first asked the three of Jin Abacus, can you know why there is a reverse fight in the world since ancient times?
The three brothers of the golden abacus master are also long-term involved in the rivers and lakes, they have a wide range of knowledge, and they know a lot about all walks of life and all kinds of folk customs.
There are three religions and nine streams under the world, the three religions are "interpretation, Taoism, and Confucianism", and the nine streams refer to nine classes, which are divided into the upper nine streams, the middle nine streams, and the lower nine streams, and there are many kinds of livelihoods in the three religions and nine streams, and there are more than 360 lines in total.
The so-called "upper nine streams" are first-class Buddhist masters, second-rate immortals, third-rate emperors and fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate outsiders, sixth-rate merchants, seventh-rate pawnshops and eighth-rate craftsmen, and ninth-rate farmers who grow crops, all of which are serious livelihoods; The craftsmen in the middle and ninth streams are relatively concentrated; Counting to the lower ninth, it is the drama and prostitutes.
Among the hundreds of industries derived from these three religions and nine streams, there was no such thing as an inverted bucket, and the inverted bucket belonged to the outer eight industries. There are gold dots, beggars, ringing horses, thieves stealing, inverted buckets, walking mountains, leading fires, and collecting water, collectively known as "five elements and three families", in fact, in detail, there are several lines here that can be regarded as "thieves", but in the outer eight lines, they are counted separately, such as loud thieves, so they cannot be compared with thieves such as thieves.
As for the inverted bucket, it accounts for the word "soil" in the five elements, and it stands to reason that it is also a theft, which is no different from the ringing horse and the snitch, and it is a move to rob the tomb and touch the gold. Speaking from a high place, the inverted bucket is regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor; To put it low, it is also to make a fortune from the dead, and to do things that damage yin morality, one high and one low, and the judgment is like mud.
Touching the gold captain is naturally not comparable to scattered thieves, what he has done has always been to steal and cherish jade to help the poor, worthy of the words "thieves also have a way", and has always had a good reputation in the world. It is only because there are many poor people and few rich people since ancient times, the rich are too rich, and the poor are too poor, so there are a few thieves in the outer eight elements, specializing in doing things for the heavens.
Zhang Sanye shook his head after hearing this, you said that the inverted bucket should be the way of heaven, but you misinterpreted the meaning of "heavenly way", and this is not how you touch the gold and pour the bucket. There are rich and poor people in the world, rich and poor, this is mostly destined to be obtained, where is the use of horse thieves to do the right thing for heaven? This is just an excuse for them to kill the rich and rob the rich.
The inverted bucket is a grave robbery and grave digging business, why do some people do this for a living? Just because the past dynasties are still buried thickly, any mountain tomb and ancient tomb, from the date of construction, will consume endless blood and sweat of the people, not only the burial of countless treasures, but also to kill and bury alive, even the craftsmen who built the tomb can not escape the disaster of extinction.
It is necessary to know that the way of heaven is tolerant, and God has the virtue of a good life, and the owner of the tomb is the founder of the Ming Dynasty or a capable minister who governs the world during his lifetime, as long as he uses too much luxury in the underworld after death, he will inevitably lose great virtue; Moreover, most of the tomb sites are selected in the treasure land of feng shui, and the dragon veins created by heaven and earth are taken as their own, and they will also be jealous of ghosts and gods, and the way of heaven has always been bless this generation.
No matter how deep the mountain mounds are buried, sooner or later they will suffer from the disaster of the inverted bucket, and this is exactly where the principles of heaven are true, so touching the gold and fighting is not just a simple matter of stealing ancient tombs and robbing the rich to help the poor, but also implicitly conforming to the principle of prosperity and abolition in the avenue.
It's like our Qing Dynasty, when Kangxi Qianlong ruled the world, the country was rich and the people were rich, what a prosperous era, but now it is really internal and external troubles, full of holes, and it looks like it is about to end.
Moreover, from the world's various industries that eat by craftsmanship, it cannot be simply divided into three hundred and sixty lines, "three hundred and six" is a general number, including three religions and nine streams and eight outer lines, and even according to the most traditional saying in the mountain scripture "thirty-six famous mountains, seventy-two mountains", these divisions of all walks of life, there are many differences in various places, so the sentence "seventy-two lines, touch gold is king" may not be accurate, can not be proud of it.
In Zhang Sanye's hometown, since ancient times, the folk have known as "nine men and eighteen craftsmen in the world, don't do inverted fighting in your life". At that time, it was said that there were many kinds of livelihoods in the world, all of which were better than those who robbed tombs upside down, and the eighteen craftsmen followed their order, and the song recipe was: "Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, rock and wood carved tile lacquer, umbrella dyed and peeled, shaved head and bounced flower crystals." "There are rules among craftsmen. Craftsmen eat at the same table, and sit in order according to the eighteen craftsmen, and they are not allowed to trespass. Working in the employer's home, when the project enters a certain stage or when it serves a specific person, the ceremony is all performed. And sing praises, and the employer will give the city. For example, the tailor "cuts", the rockmason "stepping on the bridge", and the shaver cutting the groom's hair or shaving the baby's fetal hair, all have rituals and sing praises. Carpenters and masons have many rituals in the process of building houses, and there are many opportunities and types of praise songs, such as the song of starting the house, the song of the beam, the song of opening the beam, and the song of the completion of the new house. /
In old China, both lao and jiang were craftsmen with specialized skills. Craftsmen have their own skills and make a living independently. There are few people who open shops and set up shops, and most of them are mobile operators or helpers. They are busy farming and earning money. Go to the countryside to visit households, commonly known as "doing work", the owner in addition to food and drink, pay wages, so there is a "heavenly dry hunger does not die craftsman" said. Specific living conditions have formed the custom of "art is not passed on lightly". The conditions for art transmission are harsh, and it is very difficult to learn art. If there is a unique skill, it can only be passed on from family to family, not to people with foreign surnames. Some family traditions stipulate that men are not passed on to women, which is called "door division". When recognizing the teacher, the parents of the apprentices will set up a banquet, invite the master to the house, and the intermediary will accompany them to agree on the conditions for learning the arts. Then go to the master's house to apprentice: pay a big salute to the tablet of the industry master, then worship the master, and finally worship the master. A teacher for a day, a father for life, a master and apprentice are like father and son, and the children of the master are called brothers and sisters. After three years of teaching, the master generally only cares about food and clothing, and does not pay wages. Ginseng is more popular in some handicraft trades. The so-called teacher participation means that after the apprenticeship expires, he will work outside with the master for one year, and the part of the salary will be left, and the rest will be left to the master to express the grace of the teachings. There are also people who have a little bit of craftsmanship and then go to learn from the teacher, who is called a teacher. In the handicraft industry, there are annual rituals. Luban Temple and Zhang Fei Temple in various places are all places of gathering and worship. Each industry has its own masters, carpenters respect Luban, sewing workers respect Xuanyuan, gold, silver, copper, iron and tin respect Taishang Laojun, and the slaughtering industry takes Zhang Fei as the ancestral master.
These ancient traditional handicrafts still exist in the countryside, and in detail, they are not simpler than touching the gold handicraft, so there are people outside the people, there is a sky outside the sky, a mountain is always higher than a mountain, we must not take it lightly, otherwise if we are not careful, we will have to smash our "touch the gold captain" signboard.
The three brothers of the Golden Abacus Master all know that the master Zhang Sanye is a pedantic celestial, has a full mind, has no skills, is not proficient, knows everything, and is good at divination and deduction, and said to them these words, it seems to have a deep meaning, and they have not been able to comprehend all of them for a while, so they have to kneel on the ground and listen to the teachings.
Zhang Sanye talked about the origin of Captain Touching Jin, and finally talked about various rules and regulations. He said that there has never been a division between master and apprentice, I will pass on to you the technique of finding the dragon and dividing the gold and setting the acupoints, this is the master and apprentice, but wearing the gold talisman to go to the ancient tomb to fight together, then it cannot be regarded as a master and apprentice and a brother, but can only be regarded as a "companion" who binds his life together, that is, an accomplice. The three of you brothers will go out to fight in the future, and you will not break the rules; Second, don't be greedy for fame and fortune, and disgrace the name of touching gold; Third, we should take care of each other, and discuss any major or minor matters diligently.
The reason why he instructed him was because Zhang Sanye knew his disciples very well, and they each had their own strengths and weaknesses. Lichen has been washing the marrow since he was a child, he is good at lightening his body, he can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and his means of touching gold are even stronger, but he is compassionate, his hands are not hard, he is a little inflexible, and he can't act immediately, which is a big taboo in the tomb robbery line.
The iron grinding head is also a skill, bold, not afraid of ghosts and gods, he is an expert in killing people and goods, but he is too gangster, his temper is on fire, and he is more sloppy, which is a disaster.
And the golden abacus is proficient in the five elements of Yili, is a master of tomb robbing, and knows all kinds of strange things in the world, although he is clever and cautious, but it is a pity that this person is not good. If you want to learn to turn your head up, you must take a bath in a hot medicine pot from the age of three, and the hard work must be practiced from the age of six at the latest.
Therefore, Zhang Sanye asked the three of them to be companions, learn from each other's strengths, and be sure not to act alone, and then pass down the whirlwind shovel, black donkey hooves, King Kong umbrellas and other utensils, so that the three apprentices remember the six words "together is life, and division is death".
After explaining all these things, Jin Abacus and the other three will be regarded as veritable captains who touch gold, and in the future, the three of them will gang up to fight. The next morning, Jin Abacus got up early in the morning, didn't bring the other two senior brothers, and came alone to greet the master.
It turned out that Jin Abacus had always been very curious, why the master destroyed half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", and only passed the remnants of the book to Sun Guofu, who wanted to ask clearly before going out of the mountain, because this matter was definitely not as simple as Zhang Sanye said at the time.
Zhang Sanye was drinking tea, and when he heard Jin Abacus ask about this section, he didn't answer immediately, but asked how Jin Abacus looked at it.
Jin Abacus said half-jokingly, Master, your temper, the disciple knows too well, and he has always liked handsome celebrities and reckless heroes, and his least favorite is those fake Taoist gentlemen who are sour and vinegar, presumably because the fake Taoism of Yin and Yang Eyes is not to be treated by the master, so he only gave him half a broken book, and let him go home and guard the broken book all day long, and he couldn't think of the mystery in the other half of the book if he wanted to break his head.
Zhang Sanye is open-minded by nature, and his relationship with Jin Abacus is extraordinary, so he has nothing to hide from him, so he bluntly said: "In fact, as a teacher, I am also a Taoist heart, but I never want to preach Taoism." But to be honest, you, the yin and yang-eyed Sun Guofu, are indeed not suitable to be the captain of the school, "The Secret Art of Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui" is my life's work, half of it was destroyed that day, and only half of the book was left for him, so I don't want our craftsmanship to touch gold to be extinct. ”
It turns out that the truth in it, Zhang Sanye has said it before, and now he has explained in detail that the root of the secret art of touching gold lies in "Yi", and the way of life and change is "Yi", so in "Yi", only words are born, not words, so how can it be "born"?
The so-called "birth" refers to survival and prosperity. Zhang Sanye once in the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, glimpsed the ancient hexagram of Zhou Tian, found that the number of machines is endless, plus he has had many adventures in his life, and has learned a lot of skills, so he wrote this "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", which expounds the yin and yang in the world, and the principle of feng shui shape shì, that is, the art of touching gold that originated in the Later Han Dynasty has reached an unprecedented peak when it is passed on to Zhang Sanye's generation.
But the law of development of things in heaven and earth is up and down, there are ups and downs, there are ups and downs, Zhang Sanye is familiar with ancient hexagrams, and naturally understands this truth. It's like when the sun reaches mid-heaven, illuminating all things, but after noon, the daylight will become dimmer and dimmer, and gradually fall into the western mountains; On the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the full moon is empty, but then it will turn from profit to loss.
The principle of creation and change in the way of heaven is, to put it simply, that things must be reversed, and when things develop to a certain stage, they will go to the other extreme, so how can we control the decline? It's just a matter of holding on to the incompleteness. This is the reason why Zhang Sanye destroyed half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique".
Although the secret art of touching gold originated in the Later Han Dynasty, it actually had a prototype in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was gradually perfected by the previous generations of gold school captains for thousands of years...... It has produced a collection of feng shui masterpieces in one of the dragon hunting recipe and the gold treasure point.
When the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" was born, it covered a wider range, and even the root of the origin of the Feng Shui secret art - Zhou Tian ancient hexagram has it, exhaustively studying all things in heaven and earth, it can really be called the unfathomable technique of ghosts and gods, and there is no room for any progress, there is a sign that the extremes of things must be reversed, and from then on, the secret art of touching gold can only gradually decline.
If there is no ancient tomb in the world, then there will be no zài in the world, this generation will dig up the ancient tombs and steal the empty, in the future, will not only cut off the incense, and then there will be no inheritance of the gold line?
Therefore, Zhang Sanye destroyed half of the Yin and Yang Techniques, and only left the incomplete half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques" to future generations, so that the future school captain who touched the gold could still have room for revitalization and progress, so as not to turn from life to restraint, be jealous of creation, and cut off the name of touching gold.
Zhang Sanlianzi knew that tomb robbery was a fateful act, and it was inappropriate to pass on the remnants of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" to Jin Abacus and others, so he deliberately left it to Sun Guofu, the yin and yang eye, so that he could pass on the feng shui secret technique of touching Jin Xiaowei to future generations, and maybe there would be a period of revival in the future.
Jin Abacus listened to it and was convinced, and secretly praised Zhang Sanye for seeing through the world and physics, and on the same day, he said goodbye to his master and went out of the mountain with Tie Mo Tou and Chen, and started to make a living by touching gold and fighting upside down.
