Hu Yinfeng was taken aback by this reminder, could the pretentious old man in front of him be a Gu master?

Seven White Raccoon said: "It's not a big person, but there are also some Taoism, looking at his aura, the time to raise Gu is no less than thirty years." ”

Only then did Hu Yinfeng pay attention to it, and while chatting casually with the old man, he pretended to unintentionally let go of his spiritual eyes to observe Father Ye.

It was found that the old man's life palace was blue and yellow, and the palace of ill fortune was gray and black, and his entire face was covered with a layer of light cyan, which was obviously not the norm, but his Fulu Palace had a faint purple color.

Although the old man suffers from senile asthma and is in poor health, there is a layer of black gas between his eyebrows, which has a faint Ling Ran color.

Looking at the environment where he lived, Hu Yinfeng believed more and more that what the Seven White Raccoon said was true, and Father Ye should be a Gu master.

The two of them talked without saying a word, and Father Ye suddenly changed his words: "Son, what are you doing now?"

Hu Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Back to Dad, I just graduated from school and haven't found a job yet. ”

Father Ye smiled, a strange look appeared on his face, and said, "You are playing riddles with my old man, I don't think you are like an idle person, you are a member of the government, right?"

Hu Yinfeng was shocked, but his face was silent, and he deliberately said: "Oh, can my father look at my face, how do I know that I am from the government?"

Father Ye said lightly: "You don't have to hide it from me, Dad, I also worked for the government back then." I see that you have a government smell in you, guess you are from the government, don't you say?"

Hu Yinfeng didn't believe that he had any official flavor on him, and this old man must have used a method he didn't know to see his flaws.

But what exactly did he show his flaws so that he could see that he was a member of the government? Could it be that the kind of yamen style that he did in his gestures was still very serious? People could see at a glance that he was doing things for the government?

Tiger Yinfeng is a little uncertain.

At this time, the seven white civets opened their mouths: "You let me go out to have a look." ”

The tiger led the wind to understand, opened the inner eye, and released the seven white raccoons while the old man was not paying attention.

In order to facilitate the seven white raccoons to enter the house and search, Hu Yinfeng continued to talk to the old man: "Dad is really blind this time, I am indeed a recent graduate, and I haven't found a job yet." My family asked me to come out for a walk, and I have a long experience, but I can't do it in the future, and I can start my own business, right?"

Father Ye squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Yinfeng, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally he shook his head: "Son, I still believe in myself, you must be from the public family, what are you doing here?" It's not safe outside, you have to be careful in doing things." ”

At this time, Hu Yinfeng opened the eye of heaven and saw the seven white raccoons coming out of the room like a gust of wind and jumping into the eye of Hu Yinfeng.

Hu Yinfeng hurriedly communicated with it and asked if he had found anything.

The seven white raccoon dog said: ", I know that there is something wrong with this old man, and he raises Yarrow Spirit." ”

Yarrow is a kind of grass commonly used in ancient divination, mugwort leaves and artemisia plants, which have the functions of disinfection, sterilization, evil spirits, pain relief, etc., and can be used for field first aid.

The ancients used yarrow for divination, but the process of divination was very cumbersome, roughly as follows: 50 yarrow stems derived from the same yarrow were used, and only 49 were used when performing hexagrams.

First, divide any of the 49 yarrow stems involved in the hexagram into two with two hands, of which one in the left hand is like the sky and the other in the right hand is like the earth.

Then, take a yarrow stalk from your right hand and place it between the little fingers of your left hand to resemble a human. In this way, the pattern of "three talents" of heaven, earth and man is formed.

Then, in groups of four, use your right hand to score the yarrow stalk in your left hand and then the yarrow stalk in your right hand with your left hand.

After a group of ground divisions, the remainder of yarrow stems in both hands must have a certain rule: one on the left, three on the right, two on the left, two on the right, three on the left, one on the right, four on the left, four on the right, four on the right.

At this time, place the remaining yarrow stalk in the left hand between the middle finger and ring finger of the left hand, and the remaining yarrow stem in the right hand between the index and middle fingers of the left hand.

In this way, the remainder of the yarrow stalk between the left finger (including the one placed between the ring finger and the little finger to symbolize the "person" at the beginning) is either five or nine, so the number of yarrow stems after the remainder is removed must be forty-four or forty.

At this point, the first step of the yarrow calculus has been completed, which is called "one change".

After the "one change", the remainder between the left fingers is removed, and the forty-four or forty yarrow stems held in both hands are calculated in the same method and order as the "one change", that is, the forty-four or forty yarrow stems are first put together.

Then divide any one into two, and take out a yarrow stem from the right hand and place it between the ring finger and little finger of the left hand, and then use the right hand to score the yarrow stem in the left hand in a group of fours and fours, and then use the left hand to score the yarrow stem in the right hand......

That is, the "two changes", the result, the left and one and the right must be two, the left and two and the right must be one, the left and three and the right must be four, and the left and four and the right must be three, so the remainder of the two hands is not four that is, eight, and the total number of yarrow held in both hands is forty or thirty-six or thirty-two.

As a result, as a result of the "three changes", the total number of yarrow stems held in both hands is thirty-six, or thirty-two, or twenty-eight, or twenty-four.

Then divide by four, and the quotient of one line is revealed: 36÷4=9, 32÷4=8, 28÷4=7, 24÷4=6.

According to the principle that the odd number is yang and the even number is yin, if the quotient is 9, it is the number of the old yang, that is, the old yang, if the quotient is 8, it is the number of less yin, that is, the number of less yin, if the quotient is 7, it is the number of less yang, that is, the number of less yang, that is, the number of less yang, if the quotient is 6, it is the number of old yin, that is, the old yin.

In this way, after three evolutions, one is finally obtained. There are six hexagrams in total, so a total of eighteen calculus changes are required, and each hexagram is arranged in order from bottom to top to obtain a hexagram.

However, after the "three changes", one is obtained, and sometimes there is a change, that is, "change".

That is: when the quotient is 9 or 6 becomes the old yang or the old yin, according to the law that the extremes of things must be reversed, the old yang becomes yin, and the old yin becomes yang, so that another hexagram will be obtained, which is called "the hexagram".

The original hexagram that has not changed is called the "original hexagram". If there is no "change", that is, there are no 9 and 6 in the quotient of the six lines, then there is no "hexagram".

In this way, the deduction process is all over, and a hexagram is obtained or a "hexagram" is added.

The method of divination and hexagram introduction mentioned above is what later generations called "King Wen's hexagram" or "Liuyao Dajiao". Then, according to the corresponding rules, the hexagram formed by deduction is deduced.

This cumbersome method of initiating hexagrams is very unrealistic in general, first of all, the hexagram requires a high degree of concentration and cannot be distracted. The so-called sincerity is spiritual, in fact, it requires diviners to always concentrate and not be half-hearted.

However, the cumbersome and long yarrow divination obviously does not meet the requirements of ordinary people, and a hexagram can be as little as ten minutes or as much as half an hour, and the wrists are swollen.

Therefore, with the development of divination technology, by the end of the Warring States Period, copper coins, bamboo sticks, stones and other things have been used instead of yarrow, because the latter is more common and easier to obtain, and the method process is simpler, suitable for ordinary people to operate, and people today also use bamboo and wood instead of yarrow, but they are not as good as the authentic yarrow divination!

The Gu masters in the Miao Jiang area used the principle of yarrow divination to create a yarrow spirit Gu.

Take six roots of the same yarrow, that is, picked from the same yarrow tree, put on the offering table, burn incense and worship every day, on the fifteenth day of the first month, use chicken blood to steal the two ends of the yarrow, if it is for three consecutive years, the yarrow will be naturally contaminated with spirituality, and will be automatically arranged into a hexagram according to the requirements of the hexagram master under the prompt of a certain mantra song, and the effect is incomparable.

Soul devouring is actually not a common Gu, it is not a poisonous insect, it will not harm people, and it generally does not have any obvious impact on the caster or recipient, it is a kind of witchcraft that uses spiritual power to divination, which allows users to deduce the past and future very clearly and conveniently.

Because this kind of witchcraft requires yarrow to be raised, so that it can accumulate spirituality, which is somewhat similar to common Gu cultivation, so some people call yarrow spirit Gu or yarrow Gu.

Some so-called gossip masters or fortune tellers, on the surface, seem to be manually deducing, but in fact secretly use soul devouring to help the occupancy.

However, there is a limit to the use of Soul Eater, and it cannot be used more than three times in a day, and it cannot be used on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

In addition, it is best not to use it on Halloween, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival and other days, so as not to suffer backlash and affect your luck.

This method of divination by devouring spirits is sporadically popular in the southwest Miaojiang area, and it is also mostly before liberation, after liberation, this unpopular method of divination is gradually lost, almost extinct, and the hinterland of the Central Plains is rarely heard of, but I did not expect to encounter it in a small mountain village called Xiatang in Zhenxiong Linkou.

Since Hu Yinfeng came into contact with the Tao of the Divine Eye, there are many records about the knowledge of divination in the chapter of "Miscellaneous Sayings" in the "Divine Eye Imperial Review", and the Tiger Yinfeng has also studied it attentively, although it is not a big man, but it is generally clear about the operation process and theoretical principles.

The chapter of "Miscellaneous" also mentions the rare and unpopular witchcraft of devouring spirits, Hu Yinfeng just looked at it at the beginning, and didn't pay much attention to it, but today he was hit by Daddy Ye to break his true body, and then he suddenly realized.

Seeing that it was still early, Ye Zhigao couldn't come back for a while and a half, Hu Yinfeng simply broke the window paper to see how the old man reacted, so he smiled and said: "Daddy is really good, he has raised a handful of spiritual yarrow, at least for more than ten years, right?"

When Father Ye heard this, his face was shocked, and he staggered to stand up with his body that had been leaning on the wall and not moving, and couldn't help but gasp twice, his face flushed, staring at Hu Yinfeng, and a very surprised look was overflowing: "Where is your son, how do you know about Daddy and me?"

Hu Yinfeng smiled: "Dad, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, my hometown is from the Central Plains, my ancestors have also been hexagram masters, I have a little shallow family tradition, and I know a little bit about this." ”
