Zeng Lao screamed several times, and Tang Chen finally came back to his senses: "Zeng Lao, I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”

"Master Tang wouldn't be thinking about the Great Ancestor's Mansion, right?"

Wang Dongxu said with a smile, with a sense of ridicule.

Qian Lao said seriously: "Feng Shui master, you always have to think about a lot of things, normal!"

Tang Chen smiled bitterly: "Old Qian, don't bury me, I'm not a feng shui master, at most I am the owner of a magic weapon shop, purely self-employed, in other words, self-employed......"

"Who believes it?"

Wang Dongxu didn't believe it, if the feng shui strength of the owner of the magic shop was so powerful, wouldn't the feng shui master under the sky have to be ashamed to death?

Tang Chen made an "innocent" appearance: "I was originally ah, the reason why I made a cameo appearance as a feng shui master was also driven by you to drive ducks to the shelves." To paraphrase the current words, this is called earning extra money, and it can also be called a part-time job. ”

"It doesn't matter if you work part-time or make extra money, anyway, you can't run away from the title of feng shui master. ”

Qian Lao said with a smile, "Which one of the truly powerful magic weapon masters doesn't have considerable feng shui strength? If you want to become a magic weapon master, you can't do it without feng shui strength." ”

Lin Chao couldn't understand this sentence, and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"

"It's very simple, isn't it all about customers in business now? God is in need, you can help him solve it, won't you make more money?" Qian Lao blinked his eyes slyly, and continued with a "cunning" look, "People who come to buy magic weapons are generally in need. But many people don't understand Feng Shui and think that they can just ask for a ritual weapon to go back. As everyone knows, the effect of magic weapons is limited. ”

"There are exceptions, right?"

Wang Dongxu said with a smile, "If a peer like us goes to the magic weapon shop, there is no need to be so troublesome, the business of the magic weapon shop is estimated to be the most visited by feng shui masters......"

Qian Lao shook his head and said with certainty: "Master Wang, you don't understand this. From the perspective of my many years in the industry, most of the people who go to the ritual shop to buy ritual utensils are trade in feng shui, but they don't know much about feng shui and ritual utensils. Those who don't even believe in feng shui, but believe in Buddhism, are the kind of people who simply think that the magic weapon of enlightenment can ward off evil spirits...... How to say it, anyway, there are people of three religions and nine ranks. ”

Lin Chao snickered: "Old Qian, you are also in the business of making utensils, isn't it good to describe your food and clothing parents like this?

"Little brother, you have misunderstood. In the eyes of our feng shui masters, the Three Teachings and Nine Streams is not a derogatory term, but refers to people from all walks of life in society. After all, Feng Shui has a heritage, and in ancient times, the three religions in the Three Religions and Nine Streams originally referred to Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The nine streams refer to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Legalism, Celebrity, Moism, Verticality, Miscellaneous, and Farming. The Yin and Yang family refers to the feng shui master. The word slowly evolved, and later it became a general term for all kinds of people on the rivers and lakes, divided into upper, middle and lower nine streams. The upper nine streams refer to: first-class Buddhas, second-rate immortals, third-rate emperors, fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate pots, sixth-rate pawns (shops), seventh-rate merchants, eight-guest, and nine-seeded fields; the middle nineth-rate refers to: first-class lifters, second-rate doctors, third-rate feng shui, fourth-rate batches, fifth-rate danqing, sixth-rate phases, seven monks, eight-way, and nine-qin chess; lower-ninth-rate refers to: first-class witches, second-rate prostitutes, third-rate gods, fourth-rate gangs, five-rate shaved heads, six blowers, seven operas, eight flowers, and nine sugar sellers. This is a lowly profession, and slowly now, it has turned into a derogatory word, and even the word "three religions and nine streams" has a derogatory connotation. This is the lack of traditional culture, how many people still know the true meaning of the three religions and nine streams?" said Qian Lao with emotion.

"Then the Yin and Yang family and the feng shui master, how can there be two classifications?" Not to mention Lin Chao, Zhang Yuanfu didn't understand a little when he heard it, "There are also orders and appearances, aren't they classified in feng shui?"

Lin Chao said with a smile: "I know a little bit about this, Tang Chen said that feng shui is feng shui, and it has nothing to do with criticism, appearance, divination or anything." Whoever claims to be proficient in Feng Shui, giving orders, reading physiognomy and divination, is either a madman or a liar!"

"Hahaha......"

Old Chen was also amused, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tang, do you really say that?"

Tang Chen touched his nose and didn't speak.

"Old Chen, is that so?" asked Zhang Yuanfu cautiously.

Chen Lao nodded: "That's true, Feng Shui alone is enough for a person to study for a lifetime, let alone others?" Maybe there are people who know a little, but if you talk about mastery, it must be few." Not to mention being proficient in these, even if you are proficient in two, they are all geniuses among geniuses. Feng Shui has something in common with criticism, physiognomy, and divination, but the theoretical support is completely different, and it is difficult to touch the analogy. ”

Zhang Yuanfu suddenly realized: "I see!"

Lin Chao asked again: "Then what is the relationship between the Yin and Yang family and the feng shui master?"

Qian Lao explained with a smile: "The Yin-Yang family is one of the hundred schools of pre-Qin, and Zou Yan of Qi is the founder of the Yin-Yang family. The so-called 'deep observation of yin and yang news, and make strange changes', is the ability of the yin and yang family. Yin and yang are two opposite existences, that is, the Taoist said that 'all things negative yin and embrace yang', and the "Book of Changes" in the 'one yin and one yang is the Tao', and the yin and yang believe that yin and yang sympathize and give birth to all things in the universe, and all things in the universe are the opposites and unity of yin and yang. The theory of yin and yang is established on the basis of the theory of qi, and on the basis of the theory of qi, it is further believed that heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, day and night, sunshine, water and fire, temperature and coolness and other movement changes are the result of one and two, so that the two relative concepts of 'yin' and 'yang' are abstracted. 'Yin and Yang, famous and invisible', refers to the idea that Yin and Yang are opposites, not physical objects.

The relationship between Yin and Yang and Feng Shui is a relationship of inheritance and development. The Yin-Yang family gradually declined after the pre-Qin period, and ceased to exist independently in the Western Han Dynasty. But the thoughts of the Yin-Yang family have always influenced the world. For example, the theory of the balance of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine, such as the study of yin and yang in Taoism, and the use of yin and yang by our feng shui masters.

Feng Shui has a long history of its close relationship with yin and yang. In the "Book of Songs", there is a saying that 'both the scenery is the gang, and the yin and yang are phased', which clearly records the feng shui technique of the ancestor of the Zhou nation, Gong Liu, to measure the sun and shadow with a sundial to determine the direction, which is not only the earliest source of the word yin and yang, but also the **** of the feng shui text. "Yi Zhou Shu Daju Explanation" said: "Don't be the benefit of yin and yang, the land is suitable, and the water and soil are convenient for the camp and silk." It shows that in the early period of ancient China, Feng Shui already had the simple philosophical ideas of yin and yang, which were 'yin and yang' and 'the benefits of yin and yang'. Whether it is the earliest more intuitive principle of yin and yang in the landscape, or the abstract philosophical concept of yin and yang in the unity of opposites, it has been continuously enriched by later generations of feng shui masters and has become the philosophical basis of feng shui. ”
