Chapter Seventy-Six: Count the World's Affairs
"Chang Leyuan used King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams just now, you said that the prediction of the current situation is very accurate, why has it become six hexagrams now." Xiao Lianshan asked.
"The six lines are one of the most widely spread prediction methods, and its changes include plum blossoms, Guanyin Shenjiao, and King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams, which are much simpler than the authentic six hexagrams." Gu Anqi whispered to Xiao Lianshan next to him.
"King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams are the evolution of the six hexagrams...... What the hell is this Liuyao? Yue Qianling also asked with interest.
I smiled and lowered my voice.
"The six trigram prediction originated in the Zhou Dynasty, and the six trigrams are predicted that people put three copper coins in their hands, clasp their hands together, think about what they measured, let the measured information melt into the copper coins, put them into the hexagram plate after shaking their palms, and throw them six times to form a hexagram, with hexagrams, and after the change, combined with the words of the Book of Changes, as well as the stem branch of time, and judge the development process and results of things."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Zhou Fu in front of me raise his head and say slowly.
"The sixty-third hexagram of Zhou Yi, both the hexagram, the water and fire, the hexagram is the kan, the kan is the water, the lower hexagram is Xun, the Xun is the fire, the water is under the fire, the water is poured into the fire, it is the hexagram of the hexagram, the gentleman looks at this hexagram, so as to be prepared for the time when there is no trouble, and prevent it from happening."
Xiao Lianshan was dizzy when he listened, there was not a word he understood, and just wanted to ask, he saw me writing on the table again, and asked excitedly.
"Do you know what it is? Tell me what it is. ”
"Today is a competition, there must be rules, he doesn't say that I can't speak, I'll tell you later." I replied with a smile.
"You know again? Why don't you know you're going up? Yue Qianling asked me angrily.
I still rubbed my forehead and smiled bitterly, which was strange to say, and I didn't know why I had been uncomfortable.
Zhou Fu looked down at the plate in front of him, thought for a moment, and said confidently.
"This hexagram is thus prepared for the time of no trouble, and the prevention is not the same, the meaning of static braking, the water will boil on the fire, it is dynamic, what kind of water is still on the fire......"
"Hey, what's there to think about, the boiling water doesn't make a sound, the sound of the water doesn't boil, and the water becomes boiling water after it boils on the fire, isn't it quiet!"
Xiao Lianshan's self-talk, the courtyard was extremely quiet, and his voice could be heard from afar.
Zhou Fu's eyes lit up, and he turned around and nodded to Xiao Lianshan and said gratefully.
"Bystander Qing, little brother, thank you in advance, I already know what kind of dish this is!"
Xiao Lianshan looked dazed, and whispered helplessly.
"I ...... I didn't say anything. ”
Zhou Fu looked at Gu Xiaotian and said confidently.
"The water is in the fire, this hexagram is a quiet phase, the boiling water does not sound, the gentleman looks at this hexagram, the gentleman is down, there is a great Confucianism in talking and laughing, there is no white ding, since it is a quiet phase, take the latter to come and go without white ding, the dinner plate is white, and then take white, boiling water is white...... Hehe, this dish is boiling water cabbage! ”
Gu Xiaotian nodded after hearing this, and motioned to his subordinates to open the silver cover on Zhou Fuxuan's dish.
Under the silver cover is indeed a bowl of cabbage with clear soup and little water, but the soup is mellow and elegant, clear to the bottom; The color of the dish is tender and green, the form is perfect, the feeling of seeing it is clear and bright, and the fresh fragrance is abnormal, so that people have the feeling that it is not like a delicacy, but like a delicacy.
There was suddenly another exclamation in the courtyard, Xiao Lianshan hurriedly went to look at the words I wrote just now, and his subordinates were indeed boiling water and cabbage.
Gu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the position to invite Zhou Fu to sit down, and tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically with a smile and a word, waiting for the next person to predict.
Lu Yong took a step forward, Gu Xiaotian actually stood up and said apologetically.
"Brother Lu, I only have to treat everyone equally in today's competition, I have been bothering you to stand for so long, is it a brother, and when I finish it, I will personally pour wine to make amends."
"Since it's a competition, everything is according to the rules, you and I here today should never know each other, you don't have to mind." Lu Yong shook his hand and said very calmly.
After Lu Yong finished speaking, he raised his hands and pinched at the same time, and when his fingers stopped, Yue Qianling asked in a very low voice.
"Why doesn't he use copper coins, what is he doing with his two hands?"
"This is the hexagram in the palm of your hand, the so-called gossip is in hand, I have it in the world, Zhou Yi gossip is broad and profound, ordinary people have to rely on props to make hexagrams, but Lu Yong is already familiar with Zhou Yi gossip in his heart, and he can make hexagrams just by hand." I say.
"Why does he use two hands?" Xiao Lianshan still couldn't hold back and asked curiously.
"Because there are two people in front of you who divinate and ask hexagrams, they are all predicting the name of the dish, asking the same thing, one quasi, two times and three decays, and the further back you go, the more difficult it is to predict, so Lu Yong uses his left and right hands to support each other's two hexagrams to corroborate and deduce."
"The further back you go, the harder it gets?!" Yue Qianling frowned slightly and glanced at me. "Why are you like a log, there are three people in front of you, when are you going to go, and I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Since Yan Hui is not moving, there must be a reason for him, don't be anxious, Yan Hui is measured." Lan Qing smiled at me and said with relief.
Lu Yong slowly put down his hand and said very calmly.
"I have two hexagrams, respectively, the dry hexagram and the feng shui well hexagram, dry for the heavenly hexagram trapped dragon to get water, the dry person is healthy, strong and healthy is not bent in the right way, so there is a trapped dragon to get water, the husband sleeps the dragon to get water, it is a dragon, long trapped in the abyss can not be stretched, suddenly the sky rains heavily, thunder rises, arbitrarily soaring, the other is the feng shui well hexagram dry well spring, the well hole is also through, the water comes out of the well, so there is the image of the dry well spring, the so-called dry well spring, if there is a well, it has been dry for a long time, it has been exhausted, but it is rainy, the spring comes out of the ground, and the fine water can flow for a long time."
Lu Yong said the hexagram and hexagram, I had already guessed the name of the dish, and before I could write it, I saw Xiao Lianshan staring at me with a grinning face, and I whispered to him in my ear that this dish was Longjing shrimp.
As soon as I finished speaking, Lu Yong pointed to the dish he chose and said calmly.
"I use the two hexagrams to deduce each other to corroborate, the first hexagram sleeps the dragon to get water, the second hexagram is dry and springs, the two hexagrams originally complement each other, but the trapped dragon is in the well, even if the water is not able to stretch, not to mention that the well water is too deep for the sleepy dragon is too shallow, the so-called dragon swims in shallow water and suffers from shrimp play!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yong looked at Chang Leyuan and Zhou Fu, who had already sat down, and said angrily.
"Two people are sitting before me, two are benevolent, and the dragon is in the well...... Longyou shallow water was played by shrimp, this dish should be Longjing shrimp! ”
Without waiting for Gu Xiaotian to nod, Lu Yong confidently uncovered the silver cover on the top of the dish after speaking.
In the dinner plate, the shrimp is white and tender, the tea leaves are green and fragrant, the color is elegant, and the taste is unique.
Compared with Chang Leyuan and Zhou Fu just now, Lu Yong started the hexagram and finally decided to say the name of the dish, without dragging the mud and water for half a day, his divination and divination skills were obviously higher than the previous two, and even the people watching in the courtyard below burst into applause.
After Lu Yong sat down, there were still four of the seven positions left, and I found that Yue Qianling had been staring at me coldly, I knew that she was anxious, it was not that I didn't go up, I was waiting for Ouyang to make a mistake, if my biggest opponent in this competition was him, I didn't know anything about this person until now.
The next person to appear is Teng Guoyuan.
This person's name came out of Gu Anqi's mouth, and he is quite famous in the Hong Kong metaphysical circles, and Gu Anqi told me that Teng Guoyuan's metaphysical status in Hong Kong is not as bad as anyone here.
As the fourth person to make a move, the onlookers sitting in the courtyard wanted to see more exciting predictions.
Like Lu Yong before, after Teng Guoyuan chose a dish, he also made a hexagram in his palm, the only difference was that he repeated it three times.
"Why is it more cumbersome to start the hexagram in the back, I see that Chang Yuan and Zhou Fu are very relaxed just now, but this Teng Guoyuan seems to feel powerless." Xiao Lianshan asked idly.
"Divination and asking the same thing can not be asked more than three times, otherwise it will not work, Teng Guoyuan is cumbersome because he happens to be the fourth diviner, he must take into account the changes and connections between the change of hexagram, the wrong hexagram and the moving hexagram, this is the time to test the foundation." I replied intently as I looked ahead.
"Then why did he repeat the hexagram three times?" Yue Qianling looked at the divination predictions of the previous people, and slowly became a little interested.
"Taoism pays attention to the Tao to give birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things, this is also the truth of no more than three, divination and hexagram, the same thing can not be asked three times, compared to the previous few people, Teng Guoyuan is much more difficult this time, so he deduces three hexagrams to see the changes."
