Xu Banxian pointed to a stone table and stone bench in the courtyard, and said, "This matter is a long story, let's go over there and talk about it!"

The two sat down at the stone table, and Xu Banxian said: "Why did I say this just now, because according to the records of Xuanyuan Tai, in fact, the focus of these three I Ching is different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Lianshan Yi" has been lost, and now only its name is left, and there is no way to know what it says. However, I have searched all the materials left from ancient times to the present, and from those ancient books and records I guessed that most of this I Ching talks about the way of creation. ”

"The way of creation?" Li Fengyun immediately thought of turning stones into gold, sprinkling beans into soldiers, and so on.

Xu Banxian seemed to see through Li Fengyun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's very different from what you think, "Lianshan Yi" is by no means so mysterious.

This scripture should talk about a kind of law, a kind of thought, for example, ice is changed from water, and if you boil water in a cauldron, when the fire comes, the water will naturally boil.

So, to get ice, you have to have water, and dirt, rocks, and so on can't do it.

Therefore, it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it is said that Mozi, the ancestor of the Mo family, had obtained some fragments of "Lianshan Yi", which made the name of the Mo family through the ages. It's a pity that after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this "Lianshan Yi" was annihilated in the dust, and no trace of it can be found again. ”

Li Fengyun seemed to understand a little.

Xu Banxian continued: "And "Returning to Tibet" is about the way of change.

The so-called way of change is to pry a certain factor in the case of figuring out the development of things, so as to change the direction of the development of the whole thing.

I once heard a merchant in the West say that there was a great sage in the ancient West who said that if you give him a fulcrum, he can pry up the whole earth with a wooden pole. This statement seems to be faintly consistent with the idea of "Returning to Tibet". ”

Li Fengyun laughed and said, "That Western guy is bragging, how can he have such strength, could it be that he is an immortal, and even a god can't do it!

Xu Banxian shook his head and said, "Use your brain more in everything, don't deny it easily." The idea of using a wooden pole to pry the earth is exaggerated, but it is not necessarily unreasonable. Isn't the quarryman in the mountains the method used by the great sage to pry the big stones?"

Li Fengyun was stunned, of course he had seen the quarryman pry a thousand catties of boulders, indeed, as Xu Banxian said, with only a wooden stick and a stone, an ordinary person with a strength of only more than a hundred catties is enough to pry a thousand catties of boulders.

Although these things are ordinary, almost everyone does it instinctively, but the truth in them is very profound.

It seems that he didn't think deeply enough after all.

"If we can find some fulcrum for the development of things and find a suitable wooden pole, who can say that the development of history will not develop in the direction we hope?" Xu Banxian asked rhetorically.

Li Fengyun was stunned, he had never thought about these things. If you think about it, that's true.

If he had not come to Zhenzhou at the beginning, what would have been the situation in Zhenzhou? It is very likely that Yang Guangyuan had broken through the city of Zhenzhou and eliminated the biggest threat behind the Khitan army, so that the Khitan army was able to integrate the manpower and material resources of Hebei, collect a large amount of materials, and send them to the front battlefield in a steady stream. It is very likely that the army of the Central Plains will not be able to withstand the attack of the Khitan army......

If he hadn't rushed to the outside of Xinzhou City at the right time, and beheaded the general of Yelu Anduan's army with appropriate means, what would the situation in Hedong have collapsed?

Assuming that he did not arrive in Bozhou in time and used a clever plan to burn a large number of ships in Yelu Mada, it was unknown whether Li Shouzhen could hold the east coast on the other side, and the ensuing changes were even more chilling.

If he hadn't visited Yelu Mada's tent at night and hadn't seen the map, what would have been the result? The 300,000 Central Plains army would probably have been dumpled by tens of thousands of Khitan horsemen, and the situation in the Central Plains would have collapsed at once...... It's terrifying to think about.

......

Thinking about it carefully, Li Fengyun felt that everything was just as Xu Banxian said, there really are countless fulcrums in this world, just a small wooden stick, and with a light prie, the world is completely different.

It was only at this time that Li Fengyun really realized that the "Returning to the Tibetan Scriptures" was really important, and perhaps, it itself was a fulcrum that could leverage the development of history.

Among them, Li Fengyun thought a lot, his expression changed, Xu Banxian looked at him quietly all the time, without saying a word, until Li Fengyun raised his head, and then asked softly: "Now do you believe it?"

Li Fengyun nodded, his eyes became more solemn, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice!"

"Let's talk about "Zhou Yi" again!" Xu Banxian smiled happily, "In this world, there are not many people who study "Zhou Yi", but there are not many who have really achieved something, especially in today's world, there are only a handful.

For the study of "Zhou Yi", I am confident that I have some experience. If it is placed in the long history, my little achievement may not be nothing, but if it is only about the current world, it is not my boasting, I am afraid that it can match mine, rare!"

Li Fengyun nodded again, Xu Banxian's words, he believed.

"As far as I can see, Zhou Yi is really just about prediction. Xu Banxian talked eloquently, "Zhou Yi" summarizes the changes in the world into two changes, namely yin and yang, which are expressed by 'refutation'. ”

Xu Banxian picked a branch and drew yin and yang barges on the ground.

"Yin and Yang influence each other and change each other, resulting in the eight basic phenomena of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, which are often referred to as Bagua. Xu Banxian drew eight more symbols and marked them with names.

These eight basic phenomena are combined with each other in pairs to form the innate sixty-four hexagrams, that is, the study of the sixty-four basic elements of all things in the world. This is the basis of gossip and six refutations, "Zhou Yi".

The whole text of the Zhou Yi is almost entirely devoted to explaining the practical significance of these 64 hexagrams, as well as the subtle connections between the six hexagrams, because in order to understand the changes in the whole world, it is necessary to first understand the interrelationship of the hexagrams themselves.

Once this is clarified, then the connection between the hexagrams becomes simple, you see, any hexagram, if it only changes one at a time, it will only be associated with the other six hexagrams at most, right?

This means that the development of things, if only one element is changed, will cause a maximum of six changes. Rather than being associated with all the other sixty-three hexagrams. ”

Xu Banxian explained and demonstrated at the same time, talking about the basic principles of "Zhou Yi".

Li Fengyun suddenly discovered that there was such a deep mystery hidden in the gossip, although he didn't understand it.

"In that case, why do you say that most of the inheritance of "Zhou Yi" has been lost?" Li Fengyun asked after listening to Xu Banxian's explanation for half an hour.

Xu Banxian nodded with satisfaction and said, "You finally thought of this!"
