Chapter 6: Divination
Walking out of the Dan room, Shen Cheng came to the door of the next stone room, and there was a word "miscellaneous" on this door. But he put a lot of effort into pushing the stone door, and the stone door was only a little loose but couldn't be pushed open! And when he just pushed the stone door, there was a faint sound of noise inside, as if it felt like a bunch of messy things behind the stone door had firmly stuck the stone door!
Shen Cheng simply gave up and changed to another stone room, the door of this stone room was engraved with the word "Jing", and he pushed open the door and looked inside.
"This should be a study, right?" he thought to himself.
Because in this stone room, there is a dilapidated bamboo bookshelf and a bamboo chair, on which there are a dozen or so yellowed and blackened old books bound in thread, as well as a few old jade slips.
Shen Cheng has liked to read since he was a child, and he is also very literate. But since his father was sick, he had never been to the private school! When she entered the stone room and walked to the bookshelf, she took a thread-bound book and blew the dust on it. After a cursory flip through of the "Dan Li Sutra", although most of them could not be understood, he also generally knew that this was a book about alchemy.
I changed a few more books casually, and what "Talisman Technique", "Celestial Phenomena", and "Xuanjin True Solution" ....... What made Shen Cheng look at it was in the clouds, two points and eight points of confusion!
When he opened a booklet called "Mind Control", he was fascinated by the content of the book!
This is a book of elementary basic exercises that teaches the early stage of immortal cultivators, not only with text annotations, but also with some graphic drawings, and the content of the book is relatively easy to understand!
According to this book, the cultivation of junior immortal cultivators is divided into nine sub-levels. And each level of improvement will make a lot of changes in the monk himself, and at the same time master some new skills.
Shen Cheng was looking at it with relish, and suddenly vaguely smelled the fragrance of stewed meat.
He hadn't eaten meat in more than half a month!
Shen Cheng sniffled again, could it be that Taoist priests are different from monks, they can eat meat? Thinking about it, he put down the thread-bound book in his hand and walked out of the stone room.
"Shen Cheng, come on, come on, eat and eat. Come and try my bad old man's handiwork!"
This meal was both meat and vegetarian, and it was definitely the best meal Shen Cheng had these days! He didn't see the little old man, and he ate a big meal in the air!
At night, Shen Cheng lay on the bed in the stone room, staring at the glowing stone on his head, thinking about what had just happened.
After eating just now, the little old man didn't know where to find a flat stone. The size of this stone is colorful, and the little old man said that he would use this flat stone called "Root Exploration Stone" to test Shen Cheng's "Spiritual Root" qualification.
What kind of play is this "spiritual root", Shen Chengke doesn't understand it at all!
The little old man asked Shen Cheng to touch every color in the upper and lower rows of stones, and he didn't hesitate at all, so he did what the little old man said.
But the little old man's face, from the nervousness and joy when the first color glowed, to the slight depression when the second color glowed, until the top row of five colors all lit up, the iron blue and dark on that face were all seen in Shen Cheng's eyes!
Could it be that he doesn't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, so he can't cultivate immortals? Why is this immortal master's face so displeased!
In fact, it really made Shen Cheng guess eight or nine!
At this time, the little old man was sitting at the stone table in the stone hall, looking at the luck of the few meals left in this mess!
His mood is worse than Shen Cheng's now, and he really wants to find a piece of tofu to kill him!
This little old man's real name is Yu Xiuran, and he is a "loose cultivator". The so-called casual cultivation is a general term for monks who have no sect or sect, and who do not cultivate in any immortal cultivation family.
Because this Yu Lao Dao is extremely proficient in the art of cultivating immortals, especially in the art of derivation, the monk who is familiar with him gave him an alias: Tongshi Sanren.
Eleven years ago, the people of Tongshi Sanren passed by Wujiazhuang on the way back to Jinxia Mountain, and they really caught up with Zhuangzi's plague, so they went into Zhuangzi to perform spells to solve problems for the people. At this time, I happened to learn that Shen Xiao's family was happy to have a son that day.
At the initiative of the people of the world, Shen Xiao asked the little old man to give a hexagram to the newborn child that day. The little old man saw through the hexagram that the baby in front of him would be destined for the immortal road in the future, and it was the appearance of the immortal karma.
So the pleasantly surprised people of the world named the child "Shen Cheng" with the consent of Shen Xiao and his wife. He also gave the couple some money, and agreed to let the child go to Jinxia Mountain to learn and seek Taoism after eleven years, and inherit his own Taoism.
At that time, Shen Xiao and his wife, in the case of embarrassment in life, could find a way out for their children in the future, what was there to be picky about!
At that time, the little old man did not use the root probe stone to test Shen Cheng's qualifications, because the child had just been born at that time, and the five elements were dissatisfied with the spirit root had not gathered, so he could not investigate the spirit root qualification for the time being, so he had to give up!
Before leaving, the little old man deliberately left a cloth bag to show his identity and put it with a paper crane as a token of apprenticeship! In fact, another meaning is to tell other immortal cultivators who discovered Shen Cheng that there must be a first-come-first-served apprentice, this child already has a master!
After leaving Wujiazhuang that day, the little old man saw some acquaintances who often drank and talked about Taoism, and he never dared to mention a single word related to the collection of disciples! He was afraid that Shen Cheng, such a "genius of cultivating immortals" would be found and accepted by others, so wouldn't he be busy working in vain? Of course, good things were kept for himself. Although the hexagram also shows that he and this child do have a master-apprentice relationship, after all, this hexagram sometimes changes slightly!
At that time, the people of Tongshi thought that he would be able to accept this son as an apprentice in the future, and he would definitely find a treasure, and he was secretly happy for a while for this matter!
But now the people of the world don't think so!
"Tut-tut, this Shen kid is not just so simple as having poor qualifications, it's surprisingly bad! Five spirit roots! Five spirit roots! These five spirit roots and no spirit roots, what is the difference? Jinmu, water, fire, and earth are all accounted for, and there are no less!" "Worry about this little old man, don't mention it!" "God, God, are you playing with me, little old man, don't bring such a joke, hey, hey, ......!"
Tongshi Sanren complained crookedly in his heart, this troublesome thing really made him want to cry without tears!
"Eh? Wait, that's not right! That hexagram back then clearly showed that this Shen boy would definitely be able to become a great weapon in the future!" "This is unreasonable!" The little old man thought for a moment, "Could it be that the hexagram back then has changed so much?" Or is there something wrong with this test today!"
The wrinkles on the faces of the people of the world are all squeezed together, just like a pinch of a folded bun!"What went wrong?!"
Thinking of this, the little old man hurriedly pushed the food plate on the stone table forward, and a clean and flat corner of the stone table was vacated, and he gently patted a small cyan cloth bag on his waist, and suddenly a bunch of strange objects were scattered on the stone table.
Round, half-moon-shaped, peach, horn, bamboo slices are messy, and the most conspicuous thing is a king eight shells!
Without saying a word, the people of the world began to divide, and they set up formations and pinched their fingers, and after finishing Shen Cheng's calculations.
Then he took out the probe stone for testing the spiritual root and touched it himself several times, but only two colors emitted a soft glow. That's right, my gold and earth dual-attribute spiritual root is still like that, and the root probe stone is no problem!
But this hexagram still shows that Shen Cheng Xiantu Avenue will become an elephant. It's embarrassing for this little old man!
In the end, the people of the world finally came to a four-word conclusion: I don't understand!
