Chapter 42: Divination and Divination
As soon as he returned to Xiaoyao Sect, Duan Tian called Zhao Forget to his side.
"There's a question I've always wanted to ask you, and I want to get the answer before I start teaching you and me in earnest. Looking at Zhao Wang, who was standing up respectfully with his hands hanging down in front of him, Duan Tian said seriously.
"You may ask a question. Zhao forgot to answer.
"Why did you choose to follow me that day? The old man seems to have the intention of teaching you personally, you must know that everything I have learned is taught by him, so if he teaches you, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Duan Tian asked, he had never thought about this matter by himself, because he wanted to hear Zhao Wang's answer.
"Oh, for two reasons. The first reason was the environment at that time, in that somewhat depressing place, I suddenly wanted to meet my parents, so I thought that following you might have more opportunities to meet my parents, so I chose it. ”
"Another reason?"
"The other reason is that I find that I don't actually hate you that much, or that you are more acceptable than your master? It's hard to imagine how people survive in such a place. Zhao Forget thought back to the space where there was dead silence and no sound as far as the eye could see during the endless flight for more than ten days, and he was still a little resistant in his heart.
Looking at Zhao Wang's expression, Duan Tian smiled playfully, "By the way, have you seen my master?"
"Didn't you see that?"
"I have never met a master since I followed him. ”
"And who is the person I saw?" Zhao Wang, scratching his head, asked.
"Maybe it's the person you want to meet, maybe it's yourself. ”
Looking at Duan Tian who was standing with a smile, Zhao Forget felt that he had touched something, but he couldn't see it clearly a little hazy.
"Don't think about it anymore, you'll understand later, come and sit here now. ”
It's still the cabin, it's still the two futons. However, compared with before, Zhao Wang's mood was completely different.
"Do you know why you were brought to me directly by Shui Rao?"
"I don't know. ”
"Because Shui Rao doesn't know how to send you. That's why it was sent to me. ”
"Why didn't he take me to cultivate?"
"Because you weren't in the plan. ”
"What's the plan?"
"You'll know later, but now that you've passed on your fate and entered the project, maybe it's a nice surprise for us. ”
"I passed on my fate?"
"Yes, have you forgotten what you said to Li Zhiguo?"
"Should I have been that person?"
"Yes, you were blessed and would have achieved great things, but now those things don't belong to you. ”
"And what did I get in exchange?"
"An unknown future. ”
"Can't you see clearly?"
"Of course, this is your future, and you have to see it for yourself. After finishing speaking, Duan Tian seemed to have explained clearly, and then once again took out the huge dice clock that made Zhao Forget frown.
Seeing the disgust on Zhao Wang's face, Duan Tian smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't play today, and we won't play this in the future." I'm bringing this out to tell you a few things about our lineage. Saying that, Duan Tian motioned to Zhao Forget not to interrupt him, then sorted out his thoughts and began to talk eloquently.
"You should have already found out, we have guessed the dice for so long, you have all hit, now if I ask you to guess again, I believe you will still guess, what are you doing? ”
"I can tell you very seriously that I didn't cheat, and every time you guessed before, it was your own credit. At first, it was luck to guess correctly, then it was analysis and reasoning when you started to suspect me of cheating, and then you came to believe that you would never guess wrong every time, it was by intuition. This intuition is what we usually call confidence. ”
"Originally, I was going to continue to temper you for a while, but what happened before, so I had to end it. Okay, now let's take a look at our legacy. ”
"Our lineage is very old, very secretive, and even strange to outsiders, although we are both monastics, we are completely different from other monks, our name is soothsayers. ”
"Usually people think that divination is divination, and the person who divins is just a diviner, a person who interprets hexagrams and transmits and speculates the direction of the development of things that are guided in the underworld, but in fact, a soothsayer is a special kind of monk.
The Tao practiced by other monks is called the way of nature, whether it is a plant to draw the soul to open the mind, an animal to devour the soul to understand the feelings, or a person to accept the spirit, in the end it is nothing more than the spirit swallowing pill, in order to seek the Dharma heaven and earth, to achieve the realm of longevity and heaven, immortality and immortality, and the way we cultivate is called humanity, which is a way of change. The essence of this path lies in the ability to practice the various relationships between people and other things, such as dependent origination, dependent annihilation, birth and restraint, and then the ability to influence them. This Tao is usually externalized by deduction, divination, prediction, direct judgment, etc., but in fact, it is all-encompassing, and each soothsayer is a person who includes all kinds of astronomy, geography, humanities and other knowledge and abilities. ”
Seeing Zhao Forget squinting at himself, Duan Tian smiled, "You are thinking in your heart, isn't it just a fortune teller, what you said is mysterious, true and true, it really seems like that." Isn't that right?"
Zhao Wangshu: "You don't have to guess every word correctly, right?"
"Hehe, just to let you intuitively understand the ability of our inheritance. Okay, now I'm going to explain divination and divination to you in detail. ”
"The word divination is taken together, which means that the small and the big are big, and the micro is seen, through the principle of micro and macro connection, using turtle shells, copper coins, bamboo sticks, astrology and other means and signs to infer the ins and outs of the past and future, good fortune and misfortune, and analyze problems and point out the maze of methods. That's one thing, it's externally. ”
But for the soothsayer himself, divination refers only to the ability to make all kinds of divination and deduce the outcome of things according to it, while divination refers to the ability to predict or make direct judgments, of course, we do not make predictions and arbitrary assertions out of thin air, but through our own knowledge reserves, observations, understandings, and innate intuition. If you can accurately make divination and divination every time, ordinary people will already be surprised.
Divination and divination complement each other, but it is not always necessary for fortune tellers to use them at the same time, on the contrary, usually fortune tellers will choose one of these aspects to specialize, for example, I use prophecy as my strength, just like those fortune tellers in the world who burn turtles, copper coins, and so on. However, we are very different from those who tell fortunes, and that is the third level in addition to divination: speech and spirit. That's why we're monks.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of words can be both offensive and defensive means, and may also be an excellent means to achieve one's noble or despicable goals. Duan Tian, who had finally finished speaking, let out a sigh of relief, and the old god looked at Zhao Wang, but found that Zhao Wang's smile was extremely weird.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I suddenly thought about what happened in the square that day. Zhao Forget said, "May I ask if you are using your words on Han Shibo?"
Duan Tian first raised his hand and patted Zhao Wang's head gently, "Is there anyone who talks to the master like this?" and then suddenly fell into an inexplicable intoxication, "Anyway, do you think the master and my words will be successful?"
"Are you really using your words?" Zhao Forget was horrified, "I think-"
"Wait, wait, wait," shouted five waits in one breath, and then Duan Tian glanced at Zhao Wang, "I was almost killed by your kid." Fortunately, I stopped it in time. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao forgot his innocence.
"I forgot that you kid has a gift for words. Alas, it's a pity that I only have the level of a third-level speech spirit, and I don't think I will succeed, and even if I succeed, I will be seriously counterattacked. ”
"Serious backlash?!" Zhao Forget wondered.
"Well, yes, because the power of the soothsayer is inherently superior to the heavens, and the power of the spirit is too great, if it is a spirit that is much beyond the scope of his ability, it will not be realized, and even if it is realized, the spirit speaker will suffer a huge backlash, and it may even be fatal. ”
"What does Level 3 mean?" Hearing that there was a backlash, Zhao forgot to learn.
"The practice of a soothsayer is similar to that of a monk, and it is also divided by rank, but it is much simpler than that of a monk, and in the categories I just mentioned, each category is simply divided into nine levels, taking me as an example, five levels of divination, six levels of divination and prophecy, and three levels of speech and spirit. ”
Duan Tian, who looked at Zhao Wang, gloated a little and said, "But don't think that our level is relatively easy to achieve, let me tell you, our cultivation is so difficult that it is definitely not inferior to other monks, and our Heavenly Tribulation is almost ten times as much as ordinary monks, and our body is not even half as strong as others." It's miserable!"
"What about the Heavenly Tribulation?" Zhao Wang continued to ask.
"This matter is still far away from you, so don't add a psychological shadow to yourself too early, right?" Duan Tian's answer didn't sound anything wrong, and he didn't know if it was because his shadow was bigger or if he was really afraid that it would affect Zhao Wang.
"Alright, that's all for today. I've almost told you what to say, the next thing you have to do is very simple, that is, learn all the knowledge known on this continent, haha, don't be afraid of boring, if you work hard, you can complete it in about ten years. Saying that, an extremely simple jade slip appeared in his hand, and after handing the jade slip to Zhao Wang, he explained: "Concentrate on the content of the jade slip, and you will see things, until the jade slip shines, your task is completed, and you can start at any time." With that, he got up and walked out.
Zhao Forget did not hesitate, and then concentrated on sinking into the jade slip, he was already sitting in the valley, maybe he would not wake up until the jade slip shone brightly.
