Chapter 32: Divination for Beginners
Li Yi looked into the distance and said slowly: "I am a Confucian disciple, and there are many Confucian disciples. My mother came from a humble background, and I was ostracized from a young age. So I thought that since this is the case, then I should come out on my own, and the families are unwilling to accept me, and in the end I can only come to Chongxu Mountain, which has no view of the door. ”
Li Yi said it easily, but he was born in a big family, and there are many examples of discrimination because of his mother's low status, and only Li Yi, the client, knows what the actual situation is.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Li Yi, who bullied you, you told me that I would cut him down now." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Xiao Bing who said this, Xiao Bing's face was flushed at this time, one foot was on the chair, and a wine jug in his hand was poured directly into his mouth, looking quite heroic.
Yun Xiao also said on the side: "Yes, you tell us, we will help you take revenge." ”
Xiao Bing's empty hand pointed at Li Yi, and with a wave of his hand holding the wine jug, he said, "You boldly said that you want to cut a few pieces and tell me, and promise to help you do it." ”
Everyone was stunned by Xiao Bing's state, and they didn't have time to react for a while, Su Wuxian shook his head and sighed and thought, it seems that he probably drank alcohol when he was blocking thousands of troops with one person and one sword, this Xiao Bing drank like a different person, how could he suddenly become so reckless.
Li Yi also saw that Xiao Bing had probably drunk too much, and waved his hand with a smile: "I understand Brother Xiao's kindness, but there is no need for this." ”
Xiao Bing did this under the persuasion of Li Yi and Su Wufang, and muttered: "Don't be embarrassed to say, call me if you need anything, although I don't have many friends, but you are all people I recognize, just say anything directly." ”
Su Wufang helped Xiao Bing to sit on the chair and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, we'll tell you anything." ”
Xiao Bing just sat down on the chair and fell asleep on the table, and everyone looked at Xiao Bing and let out a burst of laughter.
When she was almost laughing, Yun Yi looked at Yun Xiao and said, "Xiao'er, you are in trouble again, you can make Xiao Gongzi like this." ”
Yun Xiao pouted aggrievedly after Yun Yi's lesson, and muttered in a low voice: "How do I know that he has such a bad amount of alcohol, and besides, Su Wufang let him drink it." ”
This made everyone laugh again, Su Wuxian looked at Li Yi and didn't expect Confucianism to have such a thing, he thought that Confucianism should be very harmonious. But think about it, Confucianism is the most important and cares about respecting the lowly, and such things should be very common in Confucianism.
At this time, Wang Fang looked at Qin Mei and asked, "Qin Mei, what about you, you are also from a family, why did you come to Chongxu Mountain." ”
After Qin Mei heard Wang Fang's question, she turned her face to Wang Fang's body and leaned forward slightly, leaning forward with her elbow against the table and supporting her chin with her palm, looking at Wang Fang playfully and said, "Little brother Wang, do you want to know your sister so much?"
After the two of them were sitting next to each other, Qin Mei leaned forward, the distance between the two became even closer, Wang Fang leaned back a little unnaturally, and said quibblely: "What's the matter, just ask casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it." ”
Qin Mei glanced at Wang Fang deeply, although there was a joke on her face, Su Wufang saw some changes in her eyes, and there was a trace of sadness.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Qin Mei smiled lightly, sat up straight, and said casually: "There is nothing that can't be said, it is estimated that Li Gongzi and Miss Yun have guessed it, I am from the Qidao prostitution sect." I came to Chongxushan just to see if there was anything else I could learn, and I didn't necessarily get started in the end. ”
After Qin Mei said this, Wang Fang suddenly fell into silence, not knowing how to answer, Su Wuxian immediately interjected when he saw this, so as not to fall into embarrassment: "What is Qidao?"
At this time, Li Yi also understood what Su Wufang meant, and then explained: "The cultivation realm is divided into three realms: good and evil, and the distinction between these three realms must be traced back to ancient times. At that time, most of the cultivators only practiced one technique and one method, such as the fire god Zhu Rong cultivated the way of fire, and the water god worked together to cultivate the way of water, which was the strange way. It wasn't until the Sanqing patriarch passed down the Taoist system that the situation was different. Later, Western Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains and became the two major sects of the Righteous Path. ”
"The biggest difference between the two is that the strange way only cultivates one kind of way, and the single way is cultivated to the extreme, just like the way of painting, which is to achieve the ultimate in painting. The right path is to use many different ways to perfect your own path to form your own way, just think that Chong Xushan will let you recite and learn a large number of classics, everyone has a different understanding from it, and the final path is also different. The hundred schools of thought also belong to the righteous path, but they are not as old as Taoism and Buddhism. ”
"It's hard to say which of the two is better or worse, and each has its own strengths. And the evil way actually belongs to the two ways of righteousness and strangeness, but the way they cultivate is harmful to the heavens, so it is classified as an evil way. Some cult monks take killing people as their way, and the more they kill, the higher their cultivation will be. ”
At this time, Su Wufang had some understanding of the distinction between cultivation and truth, so it seemed that Uncle Dumb belonged to the Qi Dao.
At this time, Qin Mei said: "Actually, the two ways of Zhengqi are not very separated, and they can complement each other, but you still have to determine what to focus on." For example, I mainly focus on odd and supplemented by positive, so I came to Chongxu Mountain to see if I could learn something. ”
After listening to these deep feelings about the wonders of the cultivation realm, Su Wuxian also determined that his direction should be the right path.
Wang Fang on the other side was a little stunned after listening to Qin Mei's words, he also knew these for the first time, he knew what prostitution was, but he didn't know very well what prostitution was, but this situation was not easy to ask, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart.
In order not to let the topic reach an impasse, he led the topic to Yun Yi and asked, "Then Yun Yi is a strange way, right?"
Yun Yi shook her head and smiled: "Prince Wang, although many people think that our Miao family is a strange way to raise Gu, in fact, it is not. Our Miao family actually has its own inheritance of the right path, but there are indeed many people who take the path of the strange path. ”
Yun Xiao also shouted at this time: "We are the Taoist system handed down by the great god Nuwa, and we are the right way of the Eight Classics, don't think that our Miao family will only release Gu." ”
Li Yi also looked at Yun Yi and asked suspiciously: "Yun Yi, I remember that the surname Yun is a big surname in the Miao family, why did you come to Chongxu Mountain?"
Yun Yi turned to Li Yi and said: "Actually, our Yun family has always been in contact with Chongxu Mountain, and we have been in contact with each other over the years, and the disciples on both sides will go to each other to learn and communicate with each other, so this time the clan sent our sisters to Chongxu Mountain to study." ”
Li Yi nodded suddenly: "Chongxushan has always had the habit of learning from each other with each other, I know, it turns out that you are from the Miao family to learn, I thought that those who learn from each other will go directly to the inner door." ”
Yun Xiao grabbed Yun Yi and answered directly: "We were supposed to go to the inner gate, but we wanted to rely on ourselves, so we didn't go." ”
Hearing Yun Yi's words, Su Wufang felt a little confused, so the Yun family sisters are exchange students from Miao Jiang?
After Wang Fang also said his origin, he was taken up the mountain by a passing Taoist, the Taoist priest said that he had the understanding and asked him if he wanted to become an immortal, Wang Fang agreed and came to Chongxu Mountain in a daze.
After some conversation, everyone became more familiar with each other, and finally ended the gathering with Li Yi's blessing that everyone could achieve success in cultivation.
After Xiao Bing sent the room, Su Wufang also returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking that he might be able to know the whereabouts of his parents tomorrow, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Early the next morning, Su Wufang got up early in the morning and came to the divination classroom early after eating the breakfast sent by Daotong.
Entering the classroom, there were already people waiting in the classroom, and Ju Yao sat on the top without saying a word, still dressed in black, which made people involuntarily close their mouths.
The classroom was furnished in the same way as the private school I had attended before, with a book and a few copper coins on each table. Su Wuxian found a seat and sat down, casually flipping through the books on the table.
After turning several pages and writing all the taboos of divination, I suddenly lost interest and waited quietly, feeling that time passed very slowly.
Finally waited until everyone arrived, and Ju Yao, who was sitting at the top, finally spoke: "Since everyone is here, let's start putting it." ”
Hearing that he was going to start, Su Wufang immediately cheered up for fear of missing a word, Ju Yao said with a serious expression: "Practitioner, the use of the Tao is also." It is the ancient ancestors who used the way of nature to achieve various ends and means. Xuanmen has five arts, the so-called five arts, that is, "mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, divination" these five knowledge. Today we will only talk about this divination. ”
"According to legend, the art of divination, including divination and Zheng, but now the art of divination has been lost, and now there is only one way of divination, and the way of divination is divided into divination, Qimen, Taiyi, and Liuren. The latter three are the three major thaumaturgy, Taiyi is based on Tianyuan to measure state affairs, Qimen is based on earth yuan to measure collective affairs, and Liuren is based on human yuan to measure personnel. None of this is something you can learn now, just learn divination now. ”
Listening to Ju Yao's explanation, Su Wufang knew that there were so many divinations, and in his image, divination was just to take a copper coin and throw anything away, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated, and hurriedly asked: "Then this divination has to be learned like this?"
Ju Yao was interrupted by Su Wufang's question, glanced at him and did not answer his question, and continued to speak with an expressionless face: "The most important and widely spread prediction method of divination is the six trigrams, which evolved into the plum blossom easy number, and the sixty-four trigrams introduced by King Wen of Zhou from the innate eight trigrams, which are much simpler than the authentic six trigrams. Both study takes a lot of time to practice, and in addition, it is best to choose one type of exercise. ”
Su Wufang fell into hesitation between the two, he was now anxious to find his parents and Yaya, of course, he wanted to choose this simple sixty-four hexagram the day after tomorrow, but Ju Yao's words made Su Wufang hesitate, if he didn't calculate accurately, it would be over if he ran to the wrong place at that time. In the chat with Liu Jiang, he knew that this world was not as big as he thought, in fact, it was divided into mountains of five directions, and the sea of eight directions was far away, and he didn't know where to go.
When the people in the classroom heard this, they immediately fell into a discussion, struggling with which way to choose. There are all kinds of things that are said by each other, and there is no unified answer after discussing it for a while.
Ju Yao waited for a while, but did not discuss an answer, so he pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and the disciples in the classroom quickly quieted down, and then Ju Yao continued: "Divination is divided into two realms, divination is to use hexagrams to inquire and pray for a result with a pious attitude. The diviner is, sensing the way of heaven, asking the sky with hexagrams, but be cautious, so forcibly sensing the way of heaven is easy to lose life, and if you are not careful, there is a danger of life, remember. The specific exercises are written in the book on the table, so you should study them carefully. ”
After speaking, Ju Yao's figure flashed and turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the classroom, Su Wufang, who saw this scene, was dumbfounded, this is considered to be the end of teaching? Isn't this basically equivalent to teaching nothing, which means that we want to realize it ourselves, Liu Hao also said that he wanted to look for me, but everyone disappeared, and the people in Chongxu Mountain are so unreliable?
