Chapter 4: The Book of Changes, Volume I, the Function of the Informative Apparatus
Sima Hui brought a cup of tea and handed it to Li Hao, and Li Hao respectfully served it to Pang Degong: "Master, please use tea." ”
Pang Degong took the teacup, took a sip, and said happily: "Haha, good!" ”
"Congratulations, brother!"
"Li Hao, since you are my apprentice, I will also give you a name. Your single name is a big word, vast as water, water is born of wood, and wood is revived by spring. After your font size: Mu Su. ”
"Yes, Master." Li Hao said to Sima Hui again.
Pang Degong waved his hand: "Don't care too much about those etiquette. Anyway, you don't have a place to go, so you'll live here for a long time. Although this courtyard is not big, there are still a few vacant rooms, and there is no need for Master to call me, just call me Teacher. ”
"Okay, teacher!"
Sima Hui also congratulated: "Congratulations, brother! Congratulations! ”
"Senior brother, why do you call the teacher brother?" Li Hao never understood that Sima Hui had always called Pang Degong like this.
Pang Degong laughed and said: "Haha, Decao and I are also teachers and friends, and we don't care about a name." ”
Taking advantage of this joy, Sima Hui brought a jar of wine, and Pang Degong was also happy when he saw it.
Because Pang Degong's wife generally doesn't let him drink, and Pang Degong and Sima Hui are both good drinkers. If it weren't for Li Hao's previous arrival and this apprenticeship, it would have been too difficult for them to drink.
In the evening, go back to the room.
Li Hao thought that he had successfully apprenticed to Pang Degong today, and he couldn't help but feel that this month was worth it.
Thinking about it, Li Hao also fell asleep......
The next day...
"Senior brother, are you up so early?"
"Senior brother, you're early."
Li Hao cleaned up, washed up, walked out of the door, and happened to see Pang Degong's wife coming over with a few sets of clothes.
Then he said to Li Hao: "Hao'er, this is your teacher's clothes when he was young, you go and try to see if it fits." ”
Li Hao hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, Master." ”
Pang Degong's wife smiled, motioned to Li Hao to hurry up and change his clothes, and then went to go about his own business.
Li Hao changed his clothes and came to the courtyard, and Pang Degong and the others were just about to have breakfast.
Sima Hui saw Li Hao wearing Pang Degong's previous clothes, and quipped: "Brother's clothes fit quite well on you." ”
"That's because the teacher is in good shape." Li Hao sent it with a sycophant.
Pang Decheng came out by chance, and when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, flamboyant, okay, let's eat quickly." ”
……
After breakfast, Pang Degong said to Li Hao: "Mu Su, why do you think the people in the world are not happy?" ”
Li Hao didn't know why Pang Degong had such a serious question when he came up, but he still opened his mouth to answer: "The government is corrupt, the society is in turmoil, and corrupt officials are corrupt. ”
Pang Degong stroked his beard and nodded, and then said, "Yes." If you want to change this, you can't just talk about it, you can do it again and again. I wonder if you've ever cultivated? ”
Li Hao shook his head. And Pang Degong and Sima Hui also had a sure expression.
Then Pang Degong entered the room, took out a book and handed it to Li Hao after a while, and said: "This book is called "I Ching", a total of two volumes, this volume is about the basic knowledge of Qimen, I don't look at the new, but it is also word for word with the original book. Every time my generation takes over, I have to copy it down word by word from the hands of the previous generation. ”
Li Hao knew the Book of Changes, but when he got it just now, he glanced at it and was a little stunned, he couldn't understand it!
And Sima Hui on the side was busy giving him a look, Li Hao didn't know if he really didn't see it, or pretended not to see it.
"Alright, Decao. If you squeeze your eyeballs any more, they're going to fly out. Mu Su, you take it first and read it slowly. If you can't, you can ask Decao first, he has also learned this book. With that, Pang Degong left.
"Senior brother, is this I Ching very powerful?" Li Hao didn't understand.
Sima Hui said earnestly: "Senior brother! This "Book of Changes" is the beginning of all the number of Qimen, this volume is all the basic knowledge of Qimen, the so-called one law is ten thousand laws, this is the "Book of Changes". Whether it's the five elements or the gossip, after all, they all extend from here. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he asked, "What about the next volume?" ”
Without waiting for Sima Hui's answer, Li Hao turned his head to take a look, Sima Hui just shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know the content in it either." My brother said I wasn't here. ”
Li Hao asked Sima Hui about some relevant matters to be paid attention to. Don't think about anything, try not to change it or something, etc., etc...
After eating at noon, Pang Degong stopped Li Hao and Sima Hui and said that they wanted to talk.
Li Hao brought a few cups of tea and put them in front of a few people.
Pang Degong took a sip of tea and said, "Mu Su, it was originally supposed to let you open up the sea of qi before studying. However, you are past the age of optimal cultivation, so you have to learn some relevant knowledge first, and then open up the sea of qi. ”
Li Hao hurriedly asked, "Is there any difference between this?" ”
"The difference is that the sea of qi you have opened up now is very poor in quality and quantity, and your recovery speed is also very slow."
"Is there any other way?"
Pang Degong shook his head, Li Hao thought there was no way. But Pang Degong said: "I don't know, but there must be!" ”
Looking at Pang Degong's expression, Li Hao knew that he must have known that someone had succeeded, but he didn't know the method.
Pang Degong turned his words, looked at Sima Hui with a serious face and said, "Also, your face-to-face technique, it's best to use it sparingly." ”
"Hey, I still can't hide it from my brother." Sima Hui shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"I don't care what you've learned. But do you have to consider whether the price is worth it? What do you get! Is it worth it? Pound said earnestly.
Sima Hui's body trembled a little, he wanted to tell Pang Degong everything, but he couldn't! He had a reason why he had to.
I had no choice but to speak, "Thank you, brother, for teaching." ”
"Okay, Mu Su, you go study. Let's go fishing with me. ”
After Pang Degong and Sima Hui went out, Li Hao was left in the courtyard, Pang Degong's son went out with them, and Pang Degong's wife was busy with some housework.
Li Hao sat in the courtyard, looked at the first volume of the Book of Changes, and saw the words on it, one head and two big, thinking about whether the informant could help, and hurriedly took out the informant and said: "Xiaomo, can you help me analyze this book?" ”
"Okay, master. Please wait a minute......"
Hearing this voice, Li Hao immediately relieved his mind and waited patiently.
After a while, the content of the I Ching was displayed on the screen, and at the same time, after each paragraph, it was also annotated.
Li Hao took a look at it and praised: "Xiao Mo, your function is good." Can you see how likely I am to learn? ”
"Master, although these are the basic knowledge of Qimen, they are very comprehensive. I have a recording feature that automatically saves these records. You can also use this knowledge to deduce some formations, and then the master can follow the arrangement. In the future, if you get other Qimen books and formation diagrams, I can also deduce new formations or other things. But if you want to do this, it is advisable for the master to obtain the full I Ching. ”
At the beginning, Li Hao was very happy, but when he saw the last sentence, his heart suddenly cooled half, you must know that Sima Hui had only learned the first volume.
"The only way to get to the future is to take one step and see one step."
