When I heard Master's words, I was overjoyed, for Master's mysterious and magical techniques, I have long been envious, but unfortunately since I went up the mountain with Master, he always told me that the strength of the body is the foundation of everything, and never taught me any magic metaphysics or the like, and now Master is willing to teach me these things, which simply makes my heart bloom with joy.

Master sat on a chair, he looked at me, with a faint smile on his kind face, and said to me: "Xuanwazi, as I told you at the entrance ceremony, although our vein originates from the secret art left by the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, but after all, it is only some fragments, and the real formation of our vein is still to talk about the first generation of patriarch Taishan Daoren, who learned all kinds of metaphysical and magic knowledge from various Taoist schools in China, blended with hundreds of schools, and then completed the secret art of the Yellow Emperor with great perseverance, which finally became our Xuanyuan Palace. ”

According to legend, more than 4,600 years ago, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You were at war, there were nine heavens in the sky to help the Yellow Emperor, awarded a book of heaven, with the demon art of breaking Chi You, when the Yellow Emperor pacified the world, he ordered Cangjie to make words, and recorded the various secret techniques in the book of heaven, which is the legendary treasure secretary "Golden Seal Jade Letter".

"The things recorded in the "Golden Seal and Jade Letter" have been circulated for countless years, and they are roughly divided into five sources, that is, the five metaphysical techniques such as the mountain doctor's fate and divination that I mentioned earlier. Among them, the mountain people pay attention to the cultivation of the body, the cultivation of the mind, roughly divided into the "Xuandian", "health", "cultivation" three parts, of which the "Xuandian" is used to cultivate the mind and nourish the spirit, strengthen the spirit, "health" is a family to pursue health and longevity, strengthen the body of the method of breathing, and is divided into qigong and alchemy. And the last "Cultivation Secret" in the vein of Nashan is also the most mysterious and difficult method to learn, including the spell method, the suppression method, the star prayer method, and the method of expelling ghosts and gods. Nowadays, most of the Taoist sects in China are inherited by the mountain character lineage, and although the remaining four veins are slightly involved, most of them are folk sects or are more proficient in inheritance. ”

"As for the medical pulse, including prescriptions, acupuncture, and spiritual therapy, its purpose is to use silver needles, herbs and some special ways to change the human body or treat some diseases, and after the research and transformation of our ancestors, we will combine the medical pulse in the Taoist mystic art with the secret art left by the Yellow Emperor, and can use special herbs and injections to enslave or drive away strange beasts and spirits. At this point, your senior sister has studied this quite a bit. When Master said this, he glanced at me with a smile in his eyes.

I heard the master talk about this method of driving away the alien beast with the herbs and needles used after combining the medical pulse, and I couldn't help but think of the scene when Mu Yueting used the Fulong grass powder to defeat the white beast on the back mountain, and that night by the Funan River, Mu Yueting seemed to use a puff of golden powder to drive away the long-haired monster that grabbed me. It still looks like it's pretty powerful, but I don't know if it's effective against those ghosts and other creatures.

Seeing that I was fascinated by what I heard, Master stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "And the life line is a special way for human beings to use reasoning about fate to understand life, understand the laws of nature, and achieve the purpose of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. The way is to use the time of birth and the theory of yin and yang five behaviors to judge the fate of people by using the relationship between time and space, which is roughly divided into astrology, dry branch and other methods, famous like 'Ziping Tui', 'Ziwei Doushu', 'Xingping Huihai' and the like. ”

My heart moved, and I asked Master, "Master, are those blind fortune tellers on the street from this lineage?" They seem to be able to tell fortunes on their birthdays. ”

When the master heard my words, he couldn't help laughing, he couldn't help but laugh at me, and he laughed enough, before he said to me: "Xuan Wazi, those fortune tellers outside, except for a very few who have real skills, most of them are just some charlatans, and most of them belong to the remaining two veins of phase and divination, this life word is the most difficult to learn, not only need to observe the principle of the operation of the stars, but also to thoroughly understand the five elements of yin and yang. Like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng of the Tang Dynasty, the two of them jointly launched the "Tui Bei Tu" with 60 images to deduce the fate of China for nearly 2,000 years, and most of them have been fulfilled. ”

I looked at the master dumbfounded, I didn't expect this family life lineage person to be so powerful, according to the master, that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng can speculate on the fate of China for two thousand years, this kind of ability, I'm afraid it's just the legendary immortals. The Taoist lifeline is so powerful?

When Master saw my face full of surprise, he also laughed heartily, and couldn't help but think of the way he looked when he listened to my ancestor tell him decades ago, and he was also similar to me. The master paused, and then said, "As for the physiognomy line, it generally includes five types: seal phase, personal phase, name phase, family phase, and tomb phase. ”

"Sealing, roughly speaking, is to look at people's seals and written words in order to speculate on the changes in people's fate; The name is based on the name of the person or the name of the store, through the five-grid section, and at the same time using the combination of numerology and other factors to infer the development of good luck and evil; Human physiognomy is divided into two categories: palmistry and physiognomy, through the observation of the face, hand texture and complexion to know the good luck and pathology; As for the rest of the family and tomb phases, they are collectively called the earth phase, also known as the art of feng shui, look at feng shui, Dingyin house, this vein is also the most common, the easiest to get started, only need to find a master to teach for three or five years, look at some ancient books and secret books, not to mention becoming a master and the like, you can also seek a lifetime of food and clothing. ”

According to the "Zhou Li", the art of divination has three classics at the earliest, one is called "Lianshan", the second is "Returning to Tibet", and the third is "Zhou Yi", of which "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" have long been dead, and only the book "Zhou Yi" still exists. "Zhou Yi" was originally made in the ancient legend of Fu Xi, Fu Xi created Tai Chi gossip, but at that time there was only its image and no text, until the Shang and Zhou Dynasty when King Wen of Zhou evolved it into sixty-four hexagrams, and it belongs to the words, is "Yi Ci". Later, the Duke of Zhou gave the elephant to the statue and wrote "The Words", and Confucius wrote "Ten Wings". As a result, the art of the Book of Changes became popular, and people called it the "Four Sages of the Book of Changes". ”

"The Book of Changes" has become the ancestor of the five elements of yin and yang divination in later generations, the so-called changes are inseparable from its origin, the origin of the Chinese divination is even earlier than the "Zhou Yi", but all the laws are connected, all the divination techniques can not be out of the "Book of Changes", the Taoist metaphysics in the word divination is also developed by the "Book of Changes", to the present, the word divination branch too much, the famous "plum blossom easy number", "Taiyi Shen number", "Qimen Dunjia" and the like, to what people often say gossip divination, Keying dream interpretation is also extended by divination."

"Like the old man Li we were looking for in Chengdu at the beginning, he is one of the descendants of the divination line, he is one of the best in the entire Chengdu territory, and the skill of divination is also one of the best, but unfortunately, alas, ......" The master said this, sighing, as if thinking of the tragic death of the old man Li at the beginning, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When I saw Master's appearance, I also remembered what Master had described to me about Old Man Li, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, how did Old Man Li die?" Why is it so miserable, even the tongue has been pulled out. ”

The master sighed and said: "The so-called heavenly machine cannot be revealed, especially the three veins of life, phase, and divination all have the ability to explore the heavenly machine, which belongs to a kind of practice that goes against the sky, and some words you know but can't say, once you say it, it will mess up the heavenly machine, destroy a rule of operation between heaven and earth, and will attract heavenly punishment and all kinds of retribution." Alas, I didn't expect that just asking about the things below Dujiangyan would make Lao Li suffer the curse of God, I hurt him, but under Dujiangyan is just a dragon soul, how could it cause the curse? ”

I bit my lip, and vaguely felt that Old Man Li's death may have a great relationship with the phoenix bird mark on my left shoulder, what is the origin of that phoenix bird mark?

Master looked at me with burning eyes, and his eyes flashed with an uncertain light. After a while, he said: "Our vein is somewhat related to the five techniques of Taoist metaphysics, especially the mountain character vein and the medical character vein are quite deep, among which the spell technique, suppression, and exorcism techniques are greatly studied, and there are many things derived from the medical word vein, and your senior sister is the major medical character lineage." We also have a little dabbling in the remaining three veins of life, phase, and divination. ”

"So Xuan Wazi, which vein do you want to learn now?"
