Chapter Forty-Three: My Heart Is Strong
After returning home by car, Zhang Xuanqing did not stew meat first, but opened the package and wanted to count the money with joy.
Counting money is simply too exciting and fulfilling.
However, when he opened the package, he let out a wail of grief and indignation.
"thief, I'm ooxx your grandma!"
I saw that the bottom of the package had been cut by a blade, and the two of them lost more than half of their money. I don't know if the other party "has a way to steal" and left him with some leftovers, or because the second pile of money given by the man in black was scattered, the other party couldn't take it all.
Holding Grandpa Mao, who had lost several times, he couldn't help but burst into tears: Is it easy to fool yourself, not to mention the waste of brainpower, but also a waste of saliva. A special little rabbit cub stretched out his little hand and directly took away more than half of it, and 20,000 almost became 2,000......
"Damn, don't let me know who you are, and don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!" Zhang Xuanqing gritted his teeth and hated.
I'm not in the mood to stew meat, I don't even bother to eat, I want to hurry back to Datang to learn fortune-telling with Yuan Tiangang, and I must figure out where the bastard who stole his money is. Zhang Xuanqing immediately went hungry, ran to the bed and lay down, and used the dragon sting method.
But before that, he also took a mirror and held it in his arms along with the book he had written during the day today.
......
In the dark, in a trance, suddenly in front, suddenly behind, the sun and the moon rotate, replacing a thousand years.
When he woke up from the dream, Zhang Xuanqing immediately took the mirror and glanced at his face in the mirror.
"Well, this handsome young man is handsome and chic, the jade tree is in the wind, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like a star, his nose is like a hanging gall, his lips are like grease, he is gentle and elegant, and he is suave and graceful...... You're pretty handsome, aren't you?"
Shamelessly boasting to himself, Zhang Xuanqing finally became a little serious, thinking about Yuan Tiangang's words yesterday, and looked at it carefully.
In ancient times, there was no such sophisticated technology as in modern times, the mirrors were all bronze mirrors, Sun Simiao, a small broken medical hall, was poor, and he couldn't afford to hire a good mirror grinder, even if there was a mirror, it was vague and dirty, and it was really a problem to see his face clearly.
Although Zhang Xuanqing felt that Yuan Tiangang might be wrong, he was still a little curious about his own physiognomy, and he couldn't see anything in modern time and space, not necessarily in ancient times.
He vaguely remembered that when he was cooking and scooping water from the tank two days ago, his face in ancient times was a little different from that of modern times.
Sure enough, although the face in the mirror is indeed very similar to himself, it is a little unfamiliar, and the biggest difference is ......
"Makeup!" Zhang Xuanqing's heart shook slightly.
In modern time and space, if he wears a costume and a wig, he must wear makeup on his face. Because his wig was smoothed from the Xianxia crew, the kind of exposed head, with a layer of skin on the outside, which needs to be glued to the door of the brain. If you don't wear makeup, the traces of bonding will be very obvious, fortunately, he has been in Hengdian for two years, and he has seen a lot of makeup, and he has also learned a little, so that he can cover the traces with foundation.
At that time, when he traveled to this time and space, he was wearing the costume of the Xianxia crew. Later, I took off the wig, and I didn't look in the mirror, so I didn't notice that the makeup on my face didn't seem to be washed off.
Makeup is naturally for aesthetics, so his face is a little more handsome than his original face. But now that more than two months have passed, it is naturally impossible for him not to wash his face for more than two months. But now the makeup is still on the face, as if it grows on the face and I already look like this, what does this mean?
"It seems...... It's a bad feeling......"
Zhang Xuanqing thought of Yuan Tiangang's words, what is the longevity of Fanxia, the eyebrows are half a point, it is obvious that he thinks the eyebrows are not good-looking and repaired the eyebrows; what kind of mountain root truncated, the head is thin, it is clear that the nose is slightly flawed, and there is a layer of shadows, and now the shadow is still there, it looks as if it has been reshaped; what is the dark line of the life palace, which is clearly the mark left by the wig bonding; what is the beautiful and long eye, and the eyes are like crucian carp...... Nima, pills, pills! If Yuan Tiangang's speculation is all right, has he lived enough to die?
I can't understand why just putting on makeup turned out to be "real" in this world. Zhang Xuanqing's little heart fluttered for a while before he let out a sigh: "Fake, it's all fake, Yuan Tiangang, that old killer, according to his performance yesterday, is clearly an old liar...... Yes, that's it, he's just like himself, he's a charlatan!"
Although he thought so, maybe Yuan Tiangang got up, and after eating, he still asked Yuan Tiangang to learn the art of fortune-telling and face-to-face.
After a long night of talking with Sun Simiao last night and falling asleep, Yuan Tiangang seemed to believe more in Zhang Xuanqing's identity as an "immortal".
Especially when Zhang Xuanqing found him with the plum blossom easy number and other divination techniques copied from later generations to ask him for advice, Yuan Tiangang even had the same idea as Sun Simiao: Immortal Chang is deliberately using the name of asking for advice to guide me?
What's more, when Zhang Xuanqing asked him about Taiyi, Qimen, and Liuren, he showed that he didn't understand anything at all, and he still doubted in his heart: "The predecessors must be testing my Dao heart, I must not show a little doubt, let alone a little impatience, so as to make the seniors look down on me and not pass on my Dao." Hmph, I still want to test my Dao heart, and tell you, my Dao heart is firm!"
The heart of the Dao is firm...... Hold on...... What about it......
Well, smart people generally think a lot, Yuan Tiangang is really a ...... Wise man.
Ahem!
Should be...... Right?
A few days passed in the middle of studying.
Compared with medical skills, Zhang Xuanqing learned metaphysics more quickly, after all, he had a previous foundation.
Although he is a charlatan, the charlatan is not ignorant at all.
Especially after mastering some of these skills, relying on his extensive knowledge and memory, Zhang Xuanqing feels that he has gradually been able to get out of the industry of charlatans.
As I said before, the science of fortune-telling is the same as mathematics, except that one is addition and subtraction, and the other is numerology.
The so-called numerology is just some of the fate threads summarized by the ancients...... Of course, whether it was summed up by the ancients or some immortals, this does not need to be discussed. But as long as you master those contexts, as long as you are not a fool, ordinary people can deduce a thing or two.
However, some of the contexts are complex, ambiguous, and even interconnected and contradictory. Only by finding the real key points from the many contexts can we make real deductions. What ordinary people can deduce one or two, or is it limited to proverbs such as "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles".
However, according to what Yuan Tiangang said, Zhang Xuanqing showed him "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", which is indeed the culmination of easy counting. It's a pity that this "Xinyi" calculation method relies too much on spiritual sense, and people with average spiritual sense can make it, not to mention calculating anything that doesn't matter like Shao Yong, even if it is related, it can be miscalculated.
The fundamental point is still the things used in the hexagram, after all, the plum blossom is easy to count and can use anything that anyone can perceive as a hexagram. However, if the spiritual sense is not sensitive, when it should be used to make a hexagram, it uses the direction to make a hexagram, and the right one who can divinate is weird.
Just like Shao Yong, when he saw the two birds fighting for the branches, he calculated that on the second day, a neighbor girl would come to climb and fold the plum blossoms, and the gardener chased them away, and the neighbor fell from the plum tree in horror and hurt her thigh. But if he had turned a blind eye to the two sparrows fighting for branches, it would not have been until the next day that a neighbor girl would have come to fold the plum blossoms; even if he saw the two sparrows fighting for the branches, but he only used the gender of the two sparrows to start the hexagram, and did not combine time, fighting, plum branches, and so on, he would not have been able to count this result.
On the contrary, if the spiritual sense is not sensitive, or even dull, and does not choose the right thing to use for the hexagram, then the plum blossom is easy to count and it is considered to be blind.
After learning this, although Zhang Xuanqing still studied the number of plum blossoms, he was also more careful to learn the three styles of Taiyi, Qimen, and Liuren with Yuan Tiangang. In order to find the damn thief, he swore that he would definitely practice arithmetic to the fullest!
......
"The predecessors are really powerful, whether it is Taiyi, Qimen, or Liuren, they are all thorough. In particular, the volume of "Plum Blossom Easy Counting" is the time of studying heaven and man, through the changes of the past and the present, and becoming a family. Xiaodao admires, admires!" In Zhang Xuanqing's bedroom, Yuan Tiangang patted his ass with concern, but thought in his heart: Maybe the immortal chief just likes to listen to people's praise, so he pretends not to know anything about it, and then shows his ability to learn very quickly. I must praise him well, praise him well, and be full of joy in my heart, and then the trail will be blessed.
Next to him, Li Chunfeng looked up at the roof, looking like I didn't know him.
According to the contact in the past few days, Zhang Xuanqing knows that although Li Chunfeng doesn't like to talk, he doesn't like to look at the roof. Only when Yuan Tiangang did something embarrassing did he look at the roof and pretend that he didn't see anything.
At this time, it was just night, and seven or eight days had passed since before, and Zhang Xuanqing and Yuan Tiangang had been communicating for the past few days, and Zhang Xuanqing taught Yuan Tiangang how to sleep...... Phew, it is the sting dragon sleeping pill gong, and Yuan Tiangang taught Zhang Xuanqing the number of techniques.
Li Chunfeng has been listening to the side, and only occasionally expresses his opinion.
Compared with the three of them, Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei have been a lot busier in the past few days, especially Liu Shenwei, who is responsible for the meals of five people by himself, and has complained to Zhang Xuanqing more than once.
According to the usual habits, after dinner, Zhang Xuanqing would discuss with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng for an hour or two, but today he was interrupted by Liu Shenwei.
"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, will I tell you something?" saw Liu Shenwei push open the door, glanced at several people in the room, looked at Zhang Xuanqing and said with a flattering smile.
Zhang Xuanqing was surprised: "What's the matter?"
Liu Shenwei's eyes rolled: "It's nothing, tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival, do you want Uncle Shi to ...... Well, do you want to go shopping in the streets?"
Yuan Tiangang saw that he was hiding something, and took Li Chunfeng to leave: "Brother Zhang Dao, since Liu Xiaodaoyou has something to do with you, Xiaodao will go back with the apprentice first, and we will talk about the study of mathematics tomorrow." ”
"It's okay!" Zhang Xuanqing couldn't see that Liu Shenwei had another purpose, so he nodded and agreed.
