Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 117 The world is unpredictable, but the human heart

The view of the heavenly master on Qingcheng Mountain, the true name of the monk is not obvious.

In the Taoist temple, the granddaughter Guan is engrossed in fiddling with the calculations on the table. Coach Meng Zhenren has just finished teaching, and now is his own relaxation time.

On the table, in addition to the calculation chips, there are also many books with different materials, such as bamboo slips, brocade, and rice paper. Aside from the content of the book, the material alone vividly shows the development of paper from scratch.

Constantly writing and calculating in his hands, Gonggranddaughter Guan seemed to be extremely interested in this matter, so that Meng Zhenren walked to his side without noticing.

"Gongsun, now that the result has been calculated?"

Gongsun Ting, who was concentrating on calculating, suddenly heard someone talking, and the hand holding the pen paused, and immediately destroyed the words that had just been written with a spread of ink.

Although this result is not difficult to calculate, the results of her hard work are destroyed, and the little girl is still unhappy. However, she was born in a famous family since she was a child, and of course she will not lose etiquette because of this.

got up and made a gesture to Meng Zhenren, and said in a somewhat dull tone: "There is an answer, in order to avoid mistakes due to negligence, Xiaodao also calculated twice." It's just that the answer is incredible. ”

"Oh, then you have to say it and listen to it, what kind of unbelievable method is the result of the Heavenly Master's observation and arithmetic. ”

At this moment, Meng Zhenren did not have the slightest consciousness of a master, his eyebrows were flying, and he was enthusiastic like a young man who had just reached the crown in the village under the mountain.

The unhappiness of Fang Cai has disappeared at this moment, and Gongsun Ting's little face is full of smiles again.

"According to the records in the past almanacs and historical materials, the period of great changes in the world will be next year. ”

In the eyes of Gongsun Ting, it seems to be a major event that is enough to affect the situation in the world, but in the eyes of Meng Zhenren, it is really not worth mentioning.

Seeing Meng Zhenren's indifferent appearance, the little girl was full of doubts and asked, "Could it be that Guanzhong already knows about this?"

"I know, there have been Taoist priests who like arithmetic before. ”

"What kind of arrangement did you make in the view?"

"Not at all, this result is not an unexpected thing, why would Gongsun say that it is closely related to the fortune of the world?"

"It is recorded in the classics that the demon star is present, and the main chicken is Si Chen. If a woman is in politics, the world will change dramatically in a few days. ”

Meng Zhenren still didn't take it seriously, and responded: "This classic should be written by Confucianism. Confucianism put forward the theory of heaven and man, in order to limit the power of the monarch and balance the court, in the final analysis, it is still worried that the emperor's authority is too heavy and he acts recklessly. As for the content of it, if there is a calamity in heaven and earth, it is the king's immorality, and the teacher does not agree with it.

Moreover, when the theory of heaven and man induction was proposed, Fang had just experienced the matter of overthrowing the hundred schools and respecting Confucianism alone, and it was the high-grade scholars who controlled the court, and the emperor could only be done through doctrine. Like now, the civil and official group has become a climate, and these so-called literati and scholars like to quote scriptures and classics and criticize the government. The emperor's complete control of the government has long been a luxury. ”

"What does the master mean is that what is recorded in this book is wrong?"

"Not really, but the cultivation of the Tao is the process of removing the false and preserving the true, and for the doctrines in the three teachings, don't blindly believe in them, you have to personally check them before you can do them. ”

The little girl was a little frustrated, "Isn't that the result of Xiaodao's hard work, so it doesn't make any sense?"

"For the view of the Heavenly Master, it may indeed be a little less meaningful, but for the court, there is still something to use. Not to mention anything else, when the emperor and his favorite concubines will be anxious, and he will suffer from the verbal and written criticism of those civil officials. ”

The little girl was still not very willing, as if she remembered something, rummaged on the table, and found the historical material that could be used as an example, "New Tang Book".

"Palm, please see, the "New Tang Dynasty Book" records that the demon star appeared three times, and every time it came, it coincided with the turbulent times, which should not be a coincidence. ”

"For the first time, it was recorded that in September, Ding Chou, there were stars like half a moon, which was seen in the West.

In this year, the empress abolished the throne of the third son, set up the fourth son as the emperor, the second son died in Bazhou, Li Jizhi's grandson rebelled, the army was defeated and killed, and the people who were implicated were numerous, and within a few years, the empress ascended the throne. Si Chen is used here, and it seems to be good. It's just that that woman was able to ascend the throne because of her scheming methods, and her pattern and knowledge are all first-class, but it is not an opportunity brought by a demon star. ”

The little girl was shocked and couldn't close her mouth, the pages of the book turned over, and as soon as she reached the second place, she heard Meng Zhenren continue:

"The second record shows that in the leap month of Xinyoushuo, there was a comet in the west, several feet long, and it was extinguished in May.

At this time, the focus was on the division of the feudal town and the Anshi Rebellion, and Emperor Xuanzong gave death to his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan in order to protect himself. It seems that it is also related to Si Chen, but in fact, this situation is caused by the emperor's mediocrity and favoring treachery.

As for the third time, on the afternoon of February in the second year of Kaicheng, there was a comet in danger, more than seven feet long, and the west guide was fighting. Where the comet rises in the morning, it points to the west, and when it rises at sunset, it points to the east. It has not been pointed to all directions, and the offense is so great.

The tail of the comet is everywhere, as if to indicate that the crisis is much bigger than the previous two, and it is. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was difficult to return, and after the Manna Change, the eunuchs were in power, and the literati officials competed to cling to it. As far as the teacher is concerned, at this time, after years of conquest, the dynasty has already rotted to the roots, and it is too reluctant for Si Chen to use it here. ”

Looking at the little girl Gongsun again, her eyes were full of admiration, and no one could have imagined that her master would be so knowledgeable.

"Why does the master know this?"

"When I was the same age as the teacher, I admired the predecessors of the Daomen, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and hated not being born in that era, and I had a glimpse of the demeanor of the two! In addition, when the Tang Dynasty, the Daomen was the state religion, and I always had a good impression of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"The master also has a really good memory, if it is a small way, I am afraid that I will forget it a long time ago. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zhenren almost blushed, he can't say that he deliberately went to recite it again in order to enlighten you, as for why it is the New Tang Dynasty, he has a hexagram.

Striking while the iron was hot, Meng Zhenren said again: "Gongsun, as a teacher, I also know that you are worried about your parents, but there are many variables in the unknown, so you don't need to care too much." Moreover, if you look into the future, you will inevitably have to suffer cause and effect. The most important thing is that Lingzun Kendo is a god, and there are few people in this world who can compete with it. ”

Although the little girl may not be able to listen to everything, she still nodded obediently.

"Yin and Yang numbers, hexagram divination, you can indeed get a glimpse of the future, but in this world, the most difficult thing to calculate is the human heart!"
