Chapter 22: Hexagrams
"This is the introduction of the whole big array, oh, you can use it as a switch for the big array. Speaking of this, Shan Liang couldn't help but instruct: "Chief, no matter what happens later, if there is any strange phenomenon, please don't make any noise!"
"Okay, don't worry. The head of the matter naturally knew the urgency of the matter and said solemnly.
Ten minutes later, there was a sound of the array being prepared outside, Shan Liang closed his eyes, and kept counting the time in his hands, and after ten minutes, he felt the purple qi coming from the east and couldn't help but whisper a mantra: "When the Taishang said the Dharma, the golden bell rang the jade sound, the hundred filthy hidden nine places, the demons subdued the forest, the sky scattered the law rain, the Dharma drum vibrated the layer, the heavens were good, the golden boy danced the Yaoqin, willing to pour the eight glows, according to the heart; scratch the Dharma draft, the wings serve the five clouds." Hurry like a law!" As the spell went to the back, the sound became louder and louder, until it was as urgent as the law, and when it was said to be a command, Shan Liang poured the internal force into the five fingertips of his right hand, and suddenly aimed his fingertips at the five jade stones and pressed it.
I saw that the five jade stones disappeared like magic under the fingertips of Shan Liang, and with the disappearance of the five jades, all the other jade stones in the main hall stood up, and the chicken blood coated on the foundation of those formations shone as if flowing in the veins. Seeing the current situation, Shan Liang exhaled and said softly: "It's done." ”
The head felt extremely unbelievable when he saw all this, and couldn't help but look at Shan Liang. Shan Liang seemed to know what he wanted to say, so he shook his head at him and signaled not to speak, and then took out a yellow cloth and unfolded it, on which a complete picture of gossip was drawn, and Shan Liang took out a turtle shell and six copper coins and began to measure.
With the turtle shell and copper coins shaking again and again, Shan Liang's calm face began to sweat, and his breathing slowly became short, about half an hour later, suddenly there was a thunder in the clear sky, and a dark cloud floated in the air outside the hall at some point, and a trace of lightning was visible to the naked eye wandering in the clouds as if looking for a target, this scene made everyone outside stunned, if Shan Liang was outside at this time, he would see a trace of evil qi gushing out from the bayonet and confronting the dark clouds above. Shan Liang's body in the main hall trembled and opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood, only to see that the blood slowly faded after spraying onto the turtle shell and copper coins, as if it had been absorbed, and then Shan Liang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and heard that almost half of the jade stones in the main hall crackled and became powder. After Shan Liang put down the turtle shell with both hands, he immediately pinched the Dao Jue and pointed at the turtle shell, and the six copper coins staggered out of the turtle shell as if drunk.
Shan Liang looked at the hexagram presented and was silent for a long time, constantly calculating, and after another half an hour, Shan Liang seemed to have calculated something, and his face changed drastically, and his face did not recover a little after ten minutes, and then he opened his eyes.
Seeing Shan Liang open his eyes, the head couldn't help asking, "How is it, has it been calculated?"
Shan Liang was silent for a while and said: "The dragon raises its head, hides the sting, and the earth changes a lot in spring." The flat ground thundered overnight, and the dragon gate was opened to create a lock. ”
"What do these words mean?" asked the head of the head when he heard Shan Liang's words that resembled limericks.
"'The dragon raises its head, Tibetan sting' The dragon raises its head on the second day of the second lunar month, and the sting is one of the 24 solar terms, indicating that something happened on this day, and I estimate that the second day of the second month of February is the same day as the sting, and the second dragon raises its head in the first month of February three years later. I am afraid that the word 'hidden' is not only a hibernating stinging worm, but also latent things and energy, the so-called 'sting thunder' which corresponds to the thunder in the fourth sentence. Hearing Shan Liang's explanation, the head nodded.
"The third sentence seems to mean that spring returns to the earth, but combined with the first two sentences, I am afraid that the return is not only spring, but also some things that have been dormant for a long time, 'flat ground thunder rises overnight' thunder before the rain, thunder is also known as drought thunder, there is thunder and no water, no water?" Shan Liang picked up the pen and paper on the side and wrote a word and handed it to the head, the head looked at the word on the paper and there was only one word "Qi", and he couldn't help but look at Shan Liang without understanding the meaning.
Shan Liang pointed to this word and explained: "Isn't it very vivid without a little water, this word is the same as the same breath, it is a Xuanmen term, which refers to the primordial matter in the universe that produces and constitutes all things in heaven and earth is a kind of energy." After explaining the word to the chief, he continued: "Rising from the night is everything that happens at night. ”
"And what does it mean to 'open the dragon gate and create a lock'?" the leader asked.
"Longmen, since ancient times, there is a saying that the carp jumps over the dragon gate and turns into a dragon, and the creation of the dragon means creation and evolution, and refers to the creator of nature. It also refers to nature, the second refers to creation and education, the third refers to blessing and luck, and the fourth refers to blessing. There is a cloud in "Zhuangzi - The Great Master": "Today, with heaven and earth as the great master, and creation as the great ye, the evil is not to be done?" The overall meaning of this sentence is that the dragon gate starts the process of creation and evolution. ”
Seeing the head nodding again, Shan Liang continued: "The complete hexagram shows that three years later, there will be great changes on the second night of the second lunar month, and the long-hidden Lingqi will return again, and the return of Lingqi this time will cause a huge evolution. Of course, this is my personal interpretation, and it is better for the head of the state to find someone to interpret and confirm it. ”
"I'm more curious about what is going on with this heaven and earth Lingqi, why the return of Lingqi will cause a huge evolution, can you tell me?"
Shan Liang handed the hexagram written with this calculation to the head before he spoke: "Lingqi is also called Heaven and Earth Lingqi, the official explanation for this is a metaphysical mysterious energy, different from "qi", "Qi" is a special philosophical concept of Taoism, the reason why it is metaphysical is because people now can't feel it, so it is given a metaphysical feeling. However, in my opinion, this heaven and earth Lingqi is the primordial substance in the universe that produces and constitutes all things in heaven and earth, and it is a kind of energy, and today's society has become non-existent with the change of the environment, so that ordinary people cannot feel it. ”
"So, can you feel this so-called Heaven and Earth Lingqi?" the leader couldn't help but say when he noticed the words "Ruowu and Ordinary People".
"Yes, I can feel it. Shan Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he was worthy of being engaged in politics, and he was really keen on words.
"Then can you tell me more about it?" Hearing Shan Liang's words, the head couldn't help but be curious.
"If you want to talk about Lingqi, you must first talk about the changes in the cultivation system of the Xuanmen, and the two are interrelated. Seeing that the head heard the disapproving look of the Xuanmen cultivation system, Shan Liang smiled and continued: "In ancient times, heaven and earth were one, and at that time, heaven and earth were full of spiritual qi, so everything can be cultivated.
Immortals are the names of people, animals, and even plants after they have attained cultivation, and they also have a common name as Alchemists;
There will be disputes with the organization, so the dispute between the immortals and the people began, it was the period of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, in order to prevent people from being enslaved by the immortals, so the Emperor Zhuan at that time cut off the connection between heaven and earth, this is ' The vast majority of the Lingqi between heaven and earth remained in the heavenly court, and there were fewer and fewer Lingqi in the world, and the method of cultivation was still circulating.
Later, the genius earth treasure containing Lingqi between heaven and earth also became scarce, so the great power at that time created a method of refining and refining Qi, opening up the potential of his own body, refining and refining Qi with himself as a furnace, and according to legend, with his own essence and Qi God as medicine, the final refining will be formed into a large liquid golden pill and soar into immortals.
There are fewer and fewer Lingqi between heaven and earth, and later people can no longer form Jindan, but it can still be done by introducing Lingqi into the body and releasing it, so the internal force appears. Later, the Lingqi between heaven and earth could no longer be perceived by ordinary people, so only pure martial arts remained. This is the past change of Heaven and Earth Lingqi. Shan Liang said this, twisted up a copper coin and injected the only remaining trace of internal force into the pillar in the hall, only to hear the sound of "bang", the copper coin did not enter the pillar, and only a deep trace was left on the surface.
"This is a superficial use of internal force, internal force and mana are a manifestation of the external release of Lingqi, and this is also the basis for me to activate this heaven-covering Five Elements Array. The reason why jade has an effect is because it itself contains Lingqi, which is why some people raise jade and raise people, which is nothing more than the result of the interaction between the human body and the Lingqi contained in jade. ”
"This is the internal force?" the head hurriedly asked after seeing this unscientific scenario.
"Not bad. This is internal force, but the current environment is difficult to cultivate. Maybe the predecessors of Xuantan have something similar, it's just a matter of how much. The empty internal force made Shan Liang's face extremely poor.
"Your face ...... It doesn't matter if you're physical, right?" said the head of the head of the head of the single beam with concern.
"It is not easy to calculate the fortune of the country, although there is a formation to resist, it is still invincible, and it is normal to run out of internal strength, chief, I have a reluctant request, I hope that the remaining jade will be used for my recovery. "Shan Liang made his request to the head.
"Yes, this is how it should be, this time you are tired, the time is not early, this time I want to discuss with Ouchi, I hope you don't leak what happened today, okay, I'll go first, you take care of your body. The leader got up and walked out.
After Shan Liang saw the head leave, he struggled to get up, used his last strength to change the formation, and began to use the remnants of the Lingqi in the jade to heal the wounds of the Heavenly Machine. Due to the huge amount of jade, I didn't expect that after three hours, not only did the trauma recover, but even the internal force had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Returning to the Taoist temple where the special office is located, the matter here has come to an end, and Shan Liang began to prepare for returning to Huishan in the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was the young Taoist beside the ancestor of Xuantan who walked in. After seeing Shan Liang, this person said respectfully: "Master Shan, the ancestor asks you to go over and discuss something. "After knowing from the old Taoist of Xuantan that Shan Liang was calculating the national fortune today, the attitude of the young Taoist changed, and he was much more respectful than before.
"It's you, where is the Xuantan senior, wait a minute, I'll follow you. Hearing the words of the young Taoist, Shan Liang knew the thoughts of the old Taoist of Xuantan, so he stopped his movements and tidied up a little before following the young Taoist out of the room.
Coming to the room of the old Taoist of Xuantan, the old Taoist waved his hand to signal the young Taoist to leave, and then said, "I just came back from the Great Interior, and I saw your hexagram. What are your thoughts on this?"
