This book is about Tianyou accidentally discovered the ancestral mystical book when he was a child, and the content involved in this book actually includes mountain, medicine, life, supplement, and physiognomy, collectively known as the five metaphysical arts!

Some people will ask, what age is this, how can anyone still believe in these feudal superstitions? Any attentive friend will find that even in today's society, yin and yang feng shui, the method of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil are still very popular, and the richer and more noble people are more convinced of this!

Since things exist, there must be a reason for their existence, otherwise they will be swallowed up by the long river of history, and the following will tell you about the origin of this mysticism.

In China's more than 3,000 years of feudal society, there has been a legend full of mythology.

This legend dates back more than 4,600 years.

Pangu held a giant axe to split the chaotic world, Nuwa Niangniang refining five gods to make up for the sky, our ancestor Huangdi Gongsun Xuanyuan after the unification of the tribes of the human race, a generation of great witches and witches used witchcraft to make trouble, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan got the help of the gods of the nine heavens Xuannu, and gave the heavenly book to break the Chiyou demon technique, and captured and killed the Chiyou to unify the world.

The legendary Nine Heavens Xuannu is Nuwa Niangniang. After the Yellow Emperor quelled the war, he ordered Cang to make up words, and recorded the various secret techniques in the book of heaven taught by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, which was later regarded as a treasure by the world.

This book was obtained by Jiang Shang, a disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, during the Shang Dynasty, who used the secret techniques in the book to help Zhou war, and Zuihou helped King Wu of Zhou establish the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the Zhou Dynasty had a rule of 800 years. During the Warring States Period, it was passed to the ancestor of Guiguzi Wang Chan, who passed on the secret technique to his apprentices Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, and made his disciples become famous generals at that time. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang obtained this book from the Huangshi Gong, and the Han Dynasty was 400 years old.

In the history of our country, "Xuanshu" has been passed down from generation to generation in a unique way, and it was passed to Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era, assisting Liu Bei to win three points of the world. During the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, although there were also those who got "Xuanshu", most of them were incomplete, such as Zhuge Liang got the mountain technique, Yuan Tiangang got the physiognomy technique, Guo Pu and Yang Yunsong got the Kanyu technique, also known as the Yin and Yang Feng Shui technique. In the Song Dynasty, it was a generation of great Confucianism who obtained "Xuanshu", and Zhu Xi, a scholar of the same writings. In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jizi Bowen got the inheritance of "Xuanshu", helped Zhu Yuanzhang to establish the Ming Dynasty, cheated his family, and retired successfully, avoiding the poisonous wine given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After more than 4,000 years of inheritance, the content of "Xuanshu" has increased or decreased, and there have been divergent differences, and many genres have been produced to this day. However, the complete occult art in the world is extremely rare, and the "Occult Arts" is roughly divided into: mountain (reading: Tuna|charm), medicine (meridians|guidance|prescription), life (eight characters|stars|gods), divination (style divination, hexagram divination, easy occupation), and phase (phase heaven|phase earth|phase people), collectively known as the five metaphysical techniques.

In order for everyone to better understand the five techniques of metaphysics, here is a detailed introduction:

1. Mountain, that is, immortal science, including the cultivation of scriptures, alchemy, and charms.

What the mountain contains is the secret art of cultivating the mind and cultivating the body. "Mountain" is also the most esoteric, the most mysterious, and the most easily misunderstood as "superstition". "Mountain" includes the practice of three parts: "Xuandian", "Health Maintenance", and "Cultivation of Secrets". "Xuandian" is all good books that can be used to cultivate one's self-cultivation and can be used to practice, such as "Tao Te Ching" can be used to enrich the mind and understand the truth of the universe. "Health preservation" is the pursuit of health and longevity, such as qigong. The content of the "Cultivation of Tantra" includes the method of charms, suppression, star prayer, martial arts, etc., and uses movement and the unity of spirit and mind to improve the state of mind and body.

2. Medicine, that is, traditional Chinese medicine, relies on meridian science to guide, wish by technique, and prescription treatment.

Metaphysical "medicine" consists of three parts: prescription is a method of using medicine, according to the surface and the inside, the void and the real, cold and heat, and then according to the ancient principle of yin and yang gossip; Acupuncture is a method of treating diseases with copper needles to prick the acupoints in the eight veins and acupoints of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing and the Difficult Scripture; Spiritual therapy is a method of treating diseases by hypnosis, suggestion, and concentration of mental thoughts, using the "Thirteen Branches of Blessing" as medicine.

3 life, that is, the study of life, relies on the eight characters, stars, and divine numbers to reason about fate.

Numerology is to use the time and space of a person's birth to speculate on a person's life trajectory and the information of the six relatives. Numerology has a long history, dating back to ancient times. With the evolution of history, the development of numerology has become more and more perfect, and there are strategists who are well versed in this technique to assist princes and generals in all dynasties, such as King Wen of Zhou and Jiang Shang of the Zhou Dynasty, Sun Bin of the Warring States Period, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, etc. There are also some hermits, such as Chen Kuan Old Ancestor, Wild Crane Old Man, Shao Kangjie and so on.

In ancient times, due to the underdevelopment of human productive forces, the level of understanding could not explain the mysterious natural phenomena and their own poverty, so there was the idea that heaven and earth dominate everything in the world and the world. In the words of the Book of Changes, it is called "the change of the main road, the life of each right". Later, it was vigorously respected by Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism, the old master and his disciples.

The so-called "four pillars" are the first pillar of the sexagenary branch of the year of birth, the second pillar of the month, the third pillar of the sexagenary branch of the date, and the fourth pillar of the hour. Each pillar has a word for the heavenly stem and a word for the ground branch, a total of eight characters. Then according to the calculation of the five elements of yin and yang contained in the eight characters, you can deduce the general situation of a person's life destiny. After the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, although the eight characters were constantly improved and developed, the basic theories of the early Song Dynasty remained unchanged.

According to the time of birth, the year, month and day are arranged into a life chart by the heavenly stem and the earthly branches, and the classics of the life part of the four pillars are the most, and the main ancient books are: "Guo Lao Xingzong", "Guigu Testament", "Sun Bin Testament", "Three Lives Tonghui", "Poor Tong Baojian" (also known as Column Jianggang), "Dripping Heavenly Marrow", "Shenfeng Tongkao", "Iron Plate Divine Number", "Heluo Li Number" and so on. Predicting a person's future direction according to the eight characters of birth is a common method of modern fortune-telling, which is recognized and favored by most people.

4 divination, that is, divination, Taiyi, Qimen, Liuren for the divination, Mei Yi, Liuyao for the hexagram, word measurement, dream divination, lottery for miscellaneous divination, yarrow, throwing money for easy occupation, in order to predict good luck.

The first thing to say is the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes: from Fuxi looking up at astronomy, looking down on geography and summarizing the law, taking all things from afar, taking from close to the body, imitating the state of all things, and drawing the earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods of the oriental "magic talisman" - Tai Chi Bagua (also known as innate gossip). Later, according to the relationship between Heluo and the innate I Ching, the sages of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties respectively changed out of "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhou Yi" and called them Sanyi. I Ching for the three changes, in which the mountain to the Zhou day 28 stays, the principle of the square circle, the circle three, the number of seven paths on the side of the four sides of the seven for the use of the creation, "Return" is with five with ten, the central four square for five self-multiplication is 25, combined in the number of Heluo days, the four corners of the four sides plus the following for ten, ten self-multiplication for hundreds, the number of the great Yan. "Zhou Yi" is the last year of the Shang Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in Qiangli to study Fuxi gossip on the basis of changing the innate body to the acquired use, the "easy to treat" to the "popular use", the creation of King Wen Bagua, also known as the acquired gossip. The innate gossip reflects the river map as a treat, and it is mainly based on life. The acquired gossip reflects that Luo Shu is used for popular purposes, mainly grams. Zhou Yi contains the body-use relationship of heaven and earth. So far, every layout of the entire universe corresponds to this "parallel to heaven and earth" gui table - "Bagua Najia Tu", and the "Book of Changes" has been gradually improved.

Most of the military strategists in the historical dynasties were proficient in this technique, such as Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty, Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty, Shao Kangjie of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, and Zeng Guofan of the Qing Dynasty...... Zhushu has the longest history of divination, which evolved from the ancient Zhou Yi, such as "Plum Blossom Easy Count", "Najia Broken Easy", "Liuren Divine Lesson", "Taiyi Divine Number", "Qimen Dunjia" and other mathematical arts. Some sects also include prophecy, grammatical dreams, word measurement and interpretation, signatures, name learning and other techniques in this part of divination.

The highest state of Zhou Yi divination is "to observe the image with the Tao, to say things with the image", the world often says: "will be easy but not occupied", this "do not occupy" is not not to predict, but not to use such a troublesome form of prediction, but directly to the image to say things.

5 phases, that is, physiognomy, is the world's academic question, phase heaven (astrology), phase earth (feng shui), phase human art (face reading, hand reading, body physiognomy, sound phase, etc.).

It is said that the future can be predicted by observing the changes in the stars of Zhoutian, but this thaumaturgy has been lost.

Xiangdi, commonly known as feng shui, also known as Kanyu, had phase house activities as early as the pre-Qin period. On the one hand, it is the residence of the living, and on the other hand, it is the cemetery of the dead. The yang house is divided into the yang house phase method of watching the door well stove and the yin house phase method of looking at the sand and water direction of the dragon's cave, which is generally called feng shui. At present, Kanyuxue has been divided into Sanyuan, Sanhe, Xuankong, Jiuxing, Fanzong, Shuifa and other factions, and under each faction, there are multiple sects. The view of the gateway is deep-rooted, and all sects and factions advertise the so-called unique secrets. In fact, no matter what school or sect has its own characteristics, its reasoning is the same, as long as you study it deeply, it is not difficult to understand, so those who really understand Kanyu should look at the characteristics of each school in equal amounts, integrate the specialties of each school, and give full play to the wonderful use of Kanyu.

Physiognomy is what modern people think of as physiognomy, including: physiognomy, palmistry, physiognomy, bone touching, mole physiognomy and fingerprint physiognomy. Physiognomy has its own unique rationality, analysis and systematization. The purpose of the study of physiognomy is to observe a person's character, morality, and courage, to understand his own abilities and tendencies, to find out his innate health and to predict his future fate, or the success or failure of an individual at a certain time or in a lifetime, and to avoid it.

The above is a detailed introduction to the occult arts, let's enter the text of this book and see what different experiences the ancestral mystics have brought to the protagonist Zhao Tianyou!
