The Wind Rises and the Pure Yang Chapter 43 Set up a stall to tell fortunes
Hearing Su Xinyu's words, Li Wenwen felt very shocked. Because he never thought that Su Xinyu would actually make such a proposal. It's just that Li Wenwen didn't object to this, but asked.
"What kind of stall is Miss Su going to set up, do you want to sell something, or do you want to make food?"
Seeing that Li Wendao was asking about a specific stall, Su Xinyu knew that Li Wendao did not refuse his proposal. Then he asked Li very happily.
"Neither, we tell fortunes!"
"Huh, fortune telling?"
"That's right, it's fortune telling, didn't Li Gongzi say before that you can make a certain calculation of the fate of mortals? Anyway, we don't have anything to do, so it's better to set up a fortune-telling booth." It's just that this is going to trouble Li Gongzi. ”
Yes, this is Su Xinyu's thoughts, since he heard that Li Wendao had studied divination and physiognomy last night, Su Xinyu wanted Li Wendao to help him do the math.
However, Li asked, relatively speaking, he can only measure the life of the weak, and it is difficult to measure those who are similar to his own cultivation. This also dispelled Su Xinyu's idea of asking Li to ask for his fortune.
But Su Xinyu was really curious about divination and physiognomy. If the art of feng shui can only arouse Su Xinyu's interest, then the mysterious thing related to himself such as divination and physiognomy directly makes Su Xinyu want to stop.
This night's thoughts about these were like a wild cat scratching his heart, and after thinking about it all night, Su Xinyu came up with the idea of asking Li to ask for a stall to tell fortunes. On the one hand, you can pass the time of boredom. On the other hand, you can also see the way of divination. It's just that these thoughts depend on Li asking whether he wants to or not.
Fortunately, Li Wendao did not disappoint Su Xinyu. After listening to Su Xinyu's words, he spoke,
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, just like Miss Su said, we just don't have anything to do, so let's just pass the time. I just don't know if there will be patronage, but I hope I don't be taken for a liar, hahahaha!"
Hear Lee ask in favor of his proposal. Su Xinyu felt very happy, as for the second half of Li Qian's question. Su Xinyu didn't care too much.
If someone thinks of Li Wendao as a liar, it is that they do not know the real Buddha when they meet. If you miss the opportunity, you can't blame others. As Li asked, everything in the world has a fate. It's still yours, you can't throw it away, it's not yours, so naturally it's useless to force it.
During the time I met Li Wendao, Su Xinyu didn't learn anything else. However, Li Wenwen's state of mind has learned a thing or two. Sometimes that's the case, people are always unconsciously influenced by the people around them. The impact has been mixed. But at least for Su Xinyu, the state of mind of the "fate method" brought by Li Wendao is still very good.
Don't fight or grab, you have your own heaven. Go with the flow and the breeze comes naturally.
Then Li asked, and the two asked the servant to prepare some things needed for fortune telling, which was actually a table, a white sail without any words, and a white cloth to spread the table.
The reason why I wanted Bai Fan instead of writing it was because Li Wendao wanted to write it himself, but I saw Su Xinyu polishing the ink for Li Wendao. Li Wenwen picked up the brush and wrote on the white sail, "Lotte knows his fate and is not worried, and Antu is benevolent and loving."
The one-handed book once again refreshed Su Xinyu's cognition of Li Wendao. I thought, "It turns out that Li Gongzi is not only a good Wei tablet written, but also written so well." What Su Xinyu didn't know was that Li Wenwen's second master asked Li Wendao that they had to practice all kinds of calligraphy since they were young. It is said to hone their hearts. So Li asked five senior brothers and sisters, each of whom wrote a good hand. Xingshu, official script, cursive writing is proficient in everything, and everything can be called everyone.
Sometimes, it's really important to have a good teacher. However, the more things they know, the more time they spend learning these things when they are young. Although compared to ordinary children, they have a lot less fun in childhood.
But there is no way to do this, and the height of the person is different, and the face is different. It's not just talking. Everyone has their own rules to face. And if you want to break the rules, you can't just talk about it. Sometimes, there are people. Even if the head is broken in the end, it is difficult to shake this rule in the slightest.
The reason why Li Wendao only needs these simple things is because Li Wendao usually does not put these sundries in his storage bag. As for the things that need to be used when telling fortunes, Li asked that he still had them, and he didn't let Xianling Pavilion help prepare them.
Because the location of the Immortal Spirit Pavilion was originally the most prosperous area in Heavenly City, Li Wendao and the two of them were not choosing another place. Instead, a fortune-telling stall was set up under an ancient tree not far from the Fairy Pavilion.
Stop. Just looking at what Li asked, the things on the table should really look like a fortune teller. Turtle shells, copper coins, gossip diagrams, buckets, pen and paper at the end of the three years before the spiritual weapon. Next to it stood a white sail that had just been written. That's exactly what it is.
Su Xinyu sat on the side of the ancient tree to enjoy the shade. The combination of the two is also quite novel. Because it is located in a prosperous place, it is not rare for pedestrians to come and go. Although occasionally someone looked at Li and asked about the stall of the two. I just didn't ask about it.
For no other reason, the two are too young. Although the countries of the mainland are prevalent in monasticism, most of them scoff at the theory of fate. Cultivation is already against the sky, and these people are changing their destiny regardless of whether their cultivation is strong or weak. So I don't care much about fortune telling.
And even if civilians don't cultivate, most of them will be influenced by these cultivators, and they don't believe much in the theory of fate. Although they feared ghosts and gods, they did not want Su to believe that mortals could see through their lives.
Even some people who believe it, when they saw Li Wenwen, the age of the two dispelled the idea of coming over to take a look, and the two were too young. If it's an old man with gray hair and a Taoist robe, he can still make people believe a thing or two here. But looking at these two hairy boys, where would anyone believe it?
However, it may also be because this is a prosperous area, although no one believes that the two are really capable. No one came to tear down the stage and make trouble. It seems that the folk customs of Tianfang City are still very good. At least no one watched the two of them run over to collect "protection money" when they were young.
In fact, this is mainly because this is the most prosperous place in Tianfang City. It is normal to meet a few rich and noble families in this kind of place, if you offend those rich and noble families for the sake of a few "protection fees". For those ruffians and hooligans, it is more than worth the loss.
So although the two did not have any business, they were quite calm. The two of them were not in a hurry when no one came, after all, Li Wendao and the two of them came to set up a stall, which could only be regarded as experiencing life, rather than relying on fortune telling to make a living. Just go with the flow.
While the two were waiting, Su Xinyu opened his mouth and asked Li Wenwen.
"Li Gongzi, I don't know what this way of divination and physiognomy refers to?" Anyway, the two of them are idle, Li asked and said slowly.
"The ancients often said that one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading. Six seven-phase and eight worship ghosts and gods, and nine nobles and ten self-cultivation. This life is ranked first, and the second 'luck' is closely related to 'life'. That's why there is a fate.
Generally, fate is determined by heaven, but fortune can be changed. And the way of divination is to explore the trajectory of a person's fate from the vast heavenly way. Find out what might be going on. and react to it. to achieve the role of good fortune and avoid evil. ”
"Oh, according to what Li Gongzi said, wouldn't a person who is proficient in the way of fate have a worry-free life, and the immortal fortune is prosperous, and there can be many opportunities that many people can't find. ”
Hearing Su Xinyu's question, Li asked and couldn't help but explain,
In fact, this is not the case, and most people who are well-versed in the way of fate do not die well. ”
Li's answer to the question made Su Xinyu a little strange, even incredible, this was not the same thing as what she thought, and then said
"Ah? Why is that? Doesn't it mean that those who are proficient in the way of fate can achieve the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil? Why is it difficult to die well?"
Regarding Su Xinyu's doubts, Li Wenwen would naturally answer, and then said,
"Healers don't heal themselves, and those who live naturally won't be so easy to figure out what is relevant to them. And as I just said, fortune-telling is to explore the vague trajectory of fate in the vast heavenly way. Although one or two can be detected, this is an act of revealing the heavenly secret.
It will affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao, which is itself an act of leaking the Heavenly Machine. And for the fateful, Heaven will give a kind of punishment. ”
"Punishment? What kind of punishment?"
"Five disadvantages and three deficiencies, life, power and wealth, widowhood, loneliness and cripples! The lightest will be poor all his life. These are all punishments for leaking heavenly secrets. ”
"Ah, in that case, should we not tell fortunes Li Gongzi? I really don't know that fortune telling will have such serious consequences! This, this ......."
Su Xinyu was really anxious, she didn't expect that there would be a punishment from heaven for a fortune telling, Li asked but she recognized the person. Naturally, she wouldn't let Li ask for any harm in order to satisfy her curiosity.
Seeing Su Xinyu's anxious appearance, Li Wenwen couldn't help but explain with a smile,
"It's okay, Miss Su, don't worry. The seriousness of these things mainly depends on the size of the matter affected by the leakage of heavenly opportunities. For example, helping people find people and objects may be like biting yourself after eating a meal, or choking on saliva.
And if you save the lives of one or several people because of your own leakage, you may get some damage or have bad luck for a few days in a row. However, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. A little punishment is not a big deal for human life.
Besides, we are going to tell fortunes to mortals. Revealing the fate of mortals, the punishment of the Heavenly Dao is actually not so big for us, and a little punishment is not enough to worry about.
After all, we are only revealing some vague trajectories, rather than directly telling them where their fate is going. It's not even about changing your life. If it is against the sky, it is fine if it is to improve the qualifications, but if it is to let a person who is bound to die not die, it is against the will of heaven.
Although the avenue is fifty and the sky is forty-nine, people are looking for one of them. But there are accidents in everything, and some people's lives can't be changed, and they can't be said, but there are very few such people, and we won't meet them in the future. ”
Hearing Li's explanation, Su Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said with a smile.
"I see, it's good that there is no damage to Li Gongzi. However, aren't Li Gongzi's 'floating slaughter' all the words of Buddhism? I feel that Li Gongzi, a person from the Taoist ancestral court, is really strange when he says this. ”
"Haha, Miss Su smiled, Buddhism is a family. They are all saviors. Although the approach, the concept is somewhat different. But the starting point is the same. There's nothing wrong with borrowing Buddhist words. ”
"Li Gongzi is right, since the original intention is the same, then borrowing words is naturally nothing. But why is it that most of the temples I see in the world are Buddhist temples, but there are few Taoist temples?"
Seeing Su Xinyu asking about the difference between the two families of Buddhism and Taoism in front of the world, Li Wenwen opened his mouth to explain.
"That's because the two have different philosophies. Buddhism pays attention to joining the WTO and accepting believers. In this way, they make offerings to the Buddhas. And the Daomen pays attention to dust, and practicing the way of heaven will naturally not stay in the red dust for long.
It's just a pity that after Li Tang perished. The Buddhism that came from the West gradually changed its original intention. began to accumulate wealth on a large scale, and it was not his responsibility to help the common people in the world.
On the contrary, they regarded the common people in the world as fish and meat, and began to exploit the people wantonly. The mainland countries have adopted a tax-free policy for Buddhism, which also makes Buddhism occupy most of the fertile land.
Ordinary people can only get extremely scarce wages when they help Buddhism cultivate fertile land, and those who are slightly better can still have a few acres of inferior fields in their hands. After a year of hard work, I can barely make ends meet.
However, these people have to pay taxes to the Buddha on the one hand, and they have to pay taxes to their own country on the other. This makes it difficult for the civilians in front of them to eat and drink all year round.
And some people don't even have inferior fields, so they can only work for the landlord, and finally barely make some money. After layers of exploitation, taxation, and hands, there is not much with you. It's about living a hungry and full life.
But if you catch up with the disaster year, when there is no harvest, it will not be easy. It is common to change children and eat. ”
When he said this, there was some inexplicable indignation in Li Wenwen's tone. And hearing Li ask, Su Xinyu realized that it was so difficult for mortals to live, which she had never expected. Then he asked Li again.
"Won't the secular state provide relief to these victims in a year of calamity?"
"A secular state, although there will be a little relief, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket and will not solve any problems. Add layers of exploitation, and even fewer can get it. ”
"Then there is no one who can save them? What about Buddhism? Isn't Buddhism still going to collect taxes from your common people? Shouldn't it be taken from the people and used by the people?"
"Hehe, Buddhism? They don't continue to care about the civilians at this time, and they can be regarded as having their conscience discovered, so where can they account for the lives and deaths of the civilians? Some Buddhism has really deteriorated, and all they care about is themselves. ”
"What?
