Chapter 90: Interpretation

I see!

As a participant in this preparatory meeting, although he only heard a few words, Mao Dongjun's heart suddenly brightened up at this moment.

For a long time, Mao Dongjun has been very interested in the matter of the duel. Among the nine branches of the association, if you want to say that the audience and promotion are the best, it must be where you used to be - Yangshengtang.

But if you want to say that the most profitable, there is no doubt that it is the first in the Decision Hall.

In the past, Mao Dongjun had learned some things about the Decision Hall, which was founded for a short time compared to the old association, and the reason was the joining of He Guicang.

Regarding Elder Heguicang, his personal profile can be found on the association's special network, but there is only a very simple paragraph.

The crane returns to the cang, studied under the master of Longdao, the old man of Tianji, belongs to the Shenyin Tianji Gate, and the first-class lineage inheritance of Chen Tuan's ancestor "Xinxiang" in the early Song Dynasty of the fifth generation.

Mao Dongjun didn't know who the old man of Tianji was Master Longdao, and he couldn't verify any relevant information from all sides, even the association.

However, Chen Tuan Ancestor (also known as Xiyi Ancestor) is a legendary generation of grandmasters in Chinese history.

The well-known Ziwei Doushu and Wuji Diagram are said to have been created by Chen Tuan's ancestor.

Most people may think that the ancient Taoists were mysterious, typical nihilists, delusionalists, and not down-to-earth.

But in fact, as far as Chen Shu is concerned, he was a very powerful philosopher and elephant number scholar at that time, not only proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but also an extremely pragmatic person, many of his ideas have an extremely far-reaching impact on the Song Dynasty's science and even the development of the mind of a generation of sage Wang Yangming.

In the historical documents that can be verified, there is a story about the ancestor of Chen Tuan entering the second emperor.

One of them is that Zhou Shizong in the Later Zhou Dynasty heard that Chen Tuan had mastered a set of alchemy pills and spells for igniting gold and silver, so he specially invited Chen Tuan to the palace for guidance, but Chen Tuan did not buy it at all, but said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the four seas, and you should be committed to governing the country, how can you pay attention to such a thing as Huangbai Fangshu?"

The second is that Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty also heard Chen Tuan's skills, thinking that he had mastered some kind of mysterious spell, and invited the prime minister to seek advice. When he saw the prime minister, Chen Jian didn't show any spells, but just defended himself: "I am a hermit in the mountains and wilderness, and I have no use for the current world, and I don't know about the alchemy of immortals into gold and silver, nor do I know what the principles of vomiting and health preservation, I don't have such a technique to teach." Besides, even if people can be turned into immortals, what good will it do to the way of the world today? Now the holy dragon has a beautiful face, has the appearance of a heavenly man, knows the past and the present, deeply studies the chaos, and is a monarch with morality, benevolence, righteousness and wisdom. At this time, it was the time when the monarchs and ministers were of one heart and one mind, and they would rise up reforms to bring peace to the world, and even the merits of diligent cultivation would not be as good as this. ”

From these two records alone, it can be known that Chen Kuan and his people not only resisted the yellow and white magic and soared in the day, but also knew that the important matters of governing the country should not be half-hearted, let alone superstitious, and he was an extremely pragmatic and rational person. Later, Taoist scholars who were proficient in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and resisted the yellow and white magic and the ascension of the day, there was also the patriarch Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect.

Nowadays, after several cultural divisions, people have a huge misunderstanding of Taoism, and often bundle feudal superstition and Taoism together. There are also some people who think they are keen on Taoism, and do not study the excellent traditional culture and the thoughts of the virtuous and virtuous, but instead like to delve into the absurd and superstitious behaviors that the great powers once criticized, which is the greatest sorrow of Taoism today.

While sighing with emotion, Mao Dongjun tried to repeatedly reorganize and sort out the words of the decisive decision with a hint of enlightenment, which was used to answer his long-standing doubts.

Although he knew that Chen Tuan Ancestor was his person, in the final analysis, whether it was the Heavenly Machine Old Man Dragon Island Master or the Crane Guicang, they could not represent Chen Tuan Ancestor.

Just because a teacher has the ability doesn't mean that the student has it. Teachers are moral, but there is no guarantee that students are moral. Vice versa.

In the past, he only felt that the Decision Hall was at best a group of relatively advanced Feng Shui masters, but the relative difference was that they expanded the original Feng Shui regulation and easy to learn and predict the customer group from the individual to the collective, and even started the business of multinational companies and consortia.

But what he couldn't figure out was why Decision Hall was trusted by those companies and consortia.

It turns out that behind all this, there are foundations under the association that play a role.

That is, in fact, it is the people who make the decision to provide the analytical decision, and while the client accepts the decision, the association's foundation will give sufficient venture capital as a guarantee. To a certain extent, this is the same reason as shareholders participating in management and putting forward development strategies and suggestions.

Although it is impossible to know the conversion rate between this venture capital and returns, Mao Dongjun can be sure that as long as the decision has a positive impact and the outcome is favorable, then the return on investment in the agreement must be amazing.

Imagine, there is such a fortune teller, who does not ask you to charge when telling fortunes, but in turn gives you a sum of money, telling you to double the return after the deed, how can there be a customer who is not happy, and which customer does not trust?

The remaining question, and the most critical one, is whether this fortune teller is accurate in his calculations and whether he speaks well.

If there is a problem with the decision-making of the decision-making hall, and the customer acts on the results of the analysis decision, it is not only the customer who will be "hurt", but the decision-making hall and the association will bear a huge loss.

They must have some means or ability to ensure the accuracy of their decisions.

One billion may be a year's advertising investment for some multinational companies, and it is not a large amount for the association's foundation. But making money is such a thing, no one will take it as a child's play, and the association's trust in the duel hall also shows that Crane Guicang and his students are skillful.

But they don't seem to be using the traditional ways of knowing.

In the association's materials, a short introduction to the Decision Hall exercises is also recorded.

The Judgment Hall, based on the "Theory of Heavenly Dao", deduces the number of heavenly worlds. "The Theory of Heavenly Dao" was created by the old man of Tianji, Master Longdao, and originated from Chen Luan's ancestor "Heart Phase".

"The Theory of Heavenly Dao" does not appear in the association's materials, but "Heart Reading" is already a public classical book.

Mao Dongjun once read "Heart Phase", if you just look at it literally, this article is easy to understand, in fact, it is also very short, and the content is generally through people's psychology and behavior, to analyze and predict the person's future.

There is no strange force in the whole book, only the elaboration and admonition of the phenomenon, the text is full of good deeds and good deeds, resisting low-end and vulgarity, full of thinking dialectic, it is a very objective and pragmatic, positive energy book.

However, Mao Dongjun knew very well that the so-called books are just a summary of the thoughts of the people who wrote the books, and they cannot represent the thinking patterns of the people who wrote the books.

Once a person has formed a certain mode of thinking, he can use this pattern to write countless words of the same type.

No matter how many books of the same kind you read, it is better to grasp the author's thinking mode, which is the real wisdom.

This is a peculiar point of view, but in fact, many people in various fields take a similar approach to "fried cold rice".

For example, with an infinite play of inspiration, whether it is the style mode of calligraphy, painting, music and other works of art, or the formation of a series of film and television dramas, everything derived from the same mode of thinking is the same and universal.

You can superficially understand Chen Tuan's "Heart Phase", but it is difficult for you to truly comprehend the thinking patterns and methods that led to the formation of this article.

Perhaps, the "Heavenly Dao Theory" of the old man of Tianji Longdao is an in-depth interpretation of the ancestor's "Heart Phase" as one of the inheritances of Chen Lu's ancestor's lineage. Moreover, this interpretation must be authoritative enough.

The interpretation of some works can be understood by the audience in different ways. Therefore, tracing back to the source, it is still necessary to follow the clue of the inheritance of the law lineage, and follow the vine to touch the melon, which is more reliable.

This is like if the original author of a movie gives up the creation of a sequel, who wants to make a sequel, but loses the script to another person to continue to write, it is difficult to truly grasp the connotation on the basis of the original work. The sequel to this film may have all kinds of contradictions with the original. But if the original author has a close friend or student who is also a writer and knows the original author and ideas very well, then the works that this person continues to write are naturally more reliable.

If you use this article as a dictionary of rules, you can only check a very small number of phenomena in the world, and many more phenomena cannot be explained.

The only way to explain the impermanence of the world through a certain thought is to grasp the laws of thought. And the law of "heart physiognomy" is the "way of heaven"?

I really want to take a look at what is written in "The Treatise on the Way of Heaven"! Thinking of this, Mao Dongjun couldn't help but be fascinated. It would be nice to have the opportunity to know how they trained and improved their analytical decision-making skills through this mode of thinking, and to know that method.

While Mao Dongjun was thinking, the nine leaders of the Tiandao Group were also thinking about each other, and compared to Mao Dongjun, the problems they might think of were more far-reaching.

Feng Junzi, who was among the crowds, was thinking about the matter of Ji Yunyang, the original hall master, at this time.

So far, no one knows what Ji Yunyang's betrayal is for, and no one knows where Ji Yunyang went. In such a situation, what is the purpose of Elder Crane saying those words that unify people's hearts, as well as the thoughts and demands that almost go against the "Heavenly Dao Theory" of "substituting subjectivity in decision-making"?

Is this a new experiment of the association? an experiment to gamble a billion or even the reputation of the Judgment Hall? For what purpose?

While thinking, Feng Junzi looked at Mao Dongjun, who was standing in the corner of the living room, who had previously served as a tour guide for everyone. At this moment, Mao Dongjun leaned against the wall, looking out the window at the carefully manicured garden.

Sunlight poured in through the window, illuminating Mao Dongjun's face, while the reindeer-headed specimen on the wall next to him remained hidden in the shadows, in stark contrast to him.

Feng Junzi suddenly remembered that Mao Dongjun had faintly mentioned before that there was a disagreement between him and Liu Ruosong, the master of the Health Hall. In fact, as Liu Ruosong's seven disciples, Mao Dongjun abandoned the health hall and ran to Germany alone, which will inevitably bring Liu Ruosong a heavy blow.

Could it be that Crane Guicang and Ji Yunyang also broke up between the master and apprentice because of a certain concept? Or did Ji Yunyang discover that there was something wrong with the Decision Hall or even the "Theory of Heavenly Dao"? And Crane Guicang is also thinking about the same question now?
