Chapter 319 Exorcism
Ji Zaixing stepped forward to salute deeply, and humbly asked Du Hui for advice,
"Ji Xing Xing in the next Great Xia, and now His Majesty the King of Wei is in office.

Dare to ask Mr. Du how to calculate such a conclusion, if you can enlighten me a little bit, Ji will be very grateful. "

Du Hui laughed loudly,
"Hey, you're really cute.

The art of Feng Shui is not a mystical science, but it involves a lot of complexity, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

In short, the art of Feng Shui is actually the method used by the ancestors to judge the livable place.

It contains various knowledge points such as geography, surveying, prospecting, and species.

To use the simplest analogy, we often say that it is auspicious for Yangzhai to sit north and south, why?

South facing sun, easy lighting.

Since the ancient times of cave dwelling, it has been known that the caves of Shanyang are suitable for people to live in, and the caves of Shanyin are cold and humid and full of snakes and insects.

This is the basic principle of gathering light, tending to the wind and avoiding evil spirits, and being close to the water.

If you stay away from the mine veins, you will have less disease, and the high terrain can avoid floods. What kind of flowers and trees are easy to attract insects, and what kind of seedlings damage the water and soil, these are the details that need to be further investigated.

This is the case for the yang house and the opposite for the yin house, but the reason is the same.

To complete my calculations, it is necessary to be able to calculate the approximate area of ​​the forest and the distance from the water source through the vegetation, sunlight, and mountain trend.

These conditions can then be reintegrated to infer a livable place.

The compass in my hand is a calculating tool for arranging and reorganizing different variables.

To put it bluntly, they are all trivial tricks, not worth mentioning. "

The dog cart was on the road with the whip whipped, the two ladies were in the same chariot with Jin Zha, and Ji Zaixing chatted with Du Huiqing Yunhao all the way.

Du Hui pointed out the mountains and forests from time to time, explaining the basic principles of Feng Shui judgment.

Ji Zaixing couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Although Mr. Du still looks middle-aged, he is old after all, and he is a little tired while talking.

After yawning several times in a row, he concentrated on driving the car and stopped talking.

Qingyun finally got the chance to ask Ji Zaixing about the details of meeting Yin Seke.

Hearing that Yin Se didn't seem to have suffered, he was relieved.

"Mr. Ji, you are hiding too deeply.

In fact, when we first met, you and Senior Sister Hu already knew each other, right? "

"Hey, hey. Don't expose people's old background."

"That day when we combined our three swords, we didn't stab you. Now that I think about it, it seems that Senior Sister Hu was deliberately slow.

But, why do you want to apply for Teacher Xiaolongwang? "

"This..." Ji Zaixing looked hesitant, but after a little consideration, he still raised a few words,
"When you meet your elder brother by chance, you can also remind him.

Backed by the King of Wei, he set up another nest in Wu County in the Southern Dynasty. Aren't you afraid of arousing people's suspicion?
I am willing to tell you because I can trust his character.

Brother Qing is a person who knows how to measure, so he must not publicize it everywhere. "

Qingyun nodded again and again, "I understand, I understand!"

At this time, countless strange thoughts had already surged in his mind:

It turned out that the Baoyi Army intentionally placed people beside the Little Dragon King, just like wedged the so-called Master Fu into Mu Tai's camp...

Wait, haven't I always had Baoyi's secret spy by my side...

Hey, plan ahead, there are hundreds of secrets without a single omission, every barb is placed just right, not only touching the core secrets, but also not easy to arouse the vigilance and resistance of the other party...

King Wei, King Wei, you are really a master of power and tactics who are good at controlling people's hearts.

The dog cart drove over mountains and ridges for more than [-] miles, and went straight to Shanyang, when there was the sound of gurgling water in the distance.

In winter in the northern country, the sound of gurgling water can only be supported by hot springs like the boiling water in the Fuyu Royal Court in the past (today's Xiangshui River).

"How, the old man's calculation is not bad, right?

This hillside is in the mountains, and the sun of the water is the treasure land of Chongyang.

Although remote, the surrounding wild animals are abundant, so you don't have to worry about a winter. "

Ji Zaixing nodded and said,

"Extremely, extremely.

Hey, the leisurely Huaxia, accumulated for thousands of years, is full of knowledge everywhere.

In the past, I often heard people slander that the study of Feng Shui is all speculation.

In fact, it's just that those fools can't connect the true knowledge of geographical survey together. "

"Stop, who are you!"

There was a loud shout, followed by the sound of bow and arrow.

Du Hui hurriedly reined in the dog's reins, looked around, and saw Lin Zhongfeng's dysprosium flashing, and he didn't know how many people were in ambush.

Qingyun heard the sound but couldn't see how nervous he was. He jumped off the dog cart and shouted into the forest,
"General Yue, is that you? One of my own, don't be nervous."

It seems that the people in the forest looked carefully for a while, and the general who had just shouted gave the order,
"It turned out to be Sect Master Qing. Hey, my own people, close the team!"

A strong man appeared from the forest holding a red-tasseled spear, it was Yue Hanshan, the general of the Yue family.

The Sun Wu tribe has lived in a remote place for a long time. Although the tribe is also practicing martial arts diligently, it is something that generations of people have never experienced in battle.

Now that the situation is tense and the war is inevitable, just as the remnants of the Yue clan defected, the tribe unanimously elected Yue Hanshan as the commander-in-chief to coordinate the defense.

Yue Hanshan fought with Yue Shuai for many years, suppressed horse bandits, crusaded against dissidents, and confronted the Korean army. Training and deploying troops was his strong point.

Besides, the Yue clan was originally a family member of the Sun Wu tribe, and at this time he took the young master to live under the fence of Jiren. If he didn't show some real skills and make meritorious deeds, it would be difficult to gain status in the tribe, and it would be even more difficult to plan a comeback in the future.

Therefore, he readily accepted the order, put all his energy into it, and started to do something drastic.

In order to limit the internal influence of the Tianzong that may exist in the tribe, Yue Hanshan divided all the young and strong into combat groups in units of ten. Each group randomly selected one person from the eight surnames of Sun Wu, Yue Jiajun and other foreign surnames, and then elected the most reliable The two of them are the principal and deputy chief.

Each combat unit supervises each other and is not allowed to act alone, giving spies a chance to report.

The people of the Sun Wu clan carelessly lost their stronghold, because there was an unexpected rape, and their defenses self-destructed, so they were taken advantage of by Tianzong.

So much so that the old patriarch fell ill during the hasty retreat.

Therefore, the people in the clan fully understood the plan proposed by Yue Hanshan, coupled with the active support of Elder He, Sun Wu Tiejun quickly took shape.

Within ten miles of Sun Wu's secret nest, the sentry and secret department are heavily ambushed,

Unless the army of Goryeo came in full force, these ghost bandits who could be recruited by Tianzong alone would never get close.

Qingyun and his party were discovered by the sentry as soon as they entered Yangpo.

But Ding Zhuang, who was in defense, followed the strategy carefully and never started the siege. He exchanged news and adjusted the formation. He waited for the dog team to go deep before launching the encirclement net.

If Qingyun is really the enemy at this time, even if they have amazing martial arts, if one of them is equal to a hundred, it will be difficult for them to escape from the pit of the bow and arrow and the rope trap.

After listening to Yue Hanshan's introduction of the many arrangements, Qingyun couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Fortunately, there are no reckless people in the team, otherwise, if they make a move, it will not be easy to stop it.

General Yue was a cautious person, and he didn't say goodbye to Qingyun. He just told his clansmen to take their positions, and then he dispatched a ten-man team from his guard to escort Qingyun and his party into the mountain. He still stood firm on the front line.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

When it comes to Feng Shui, pseudoscience is naturally the first label that comes to mind.

This kind of knowledge is different from the situation of traditional Chinese medicine. It is more similar to the art of witchcraft, and its reputation has already collapsed in the perception of ordinary people.

But just like I commented on people's cognition of Taoism at the beginning, why do people's cognition of Tao always stop at drawing symbols to catch ghosts, prophecy and deception, which are not authentic tricks of Taoism?

What is Feng Shui, and what are the classics of Feng Shui?
In ancient times, due to the lack of information and the limited literacy foundation of the people, people could not get effective information and were easily deceived. This is understandable.But today, this situation still exists, so it is a bit confusing.

According to legend, the oldest Fengshui book dates back to the Yellow Emperor. This classic is called "The Yellow Emperor's House Classic".

How about the beginning of the "Zhai Jing":

The husband's house is the hub of yin and yang, the model of human relations, and the husband is not a good man, but he is incapable of understanding the Tao.Among the five types, the most important one is the house method and the real secret technique.Everyone lives in a house, although there are differences in size and yin and yang, even if guests live in a room, there are good and evil. The effect of happy disease is also.The old house is the foundation of people.People regard the house as their home, and if they live in peace, the family will be prosperous;It is also said that the military state at the top, the prefectures, counties and towns at the bottom, the villages, squares, gates, and even mountain dwellings, but where people live, there are examples.Seeing and hearing, the ancient system is not the same.

To briefly summarize, the home and house are safe and everything is prosperous, and the layout of the house, whether it is a military country or a single family living in a mountain, must pay attention to regulations.

Then this book is very simple, it is to teach you housing regulations, site selection, survey, and construction instructions.

Which directions of a house are auspicious and which directions are inauspicious, which places are suitable for the owner to live in, which places are suitable for servants to live in, which places are suitable for cattle, horses and large livestock, which places are suitable for chickens, dogs and small poultry, which places are suitable for clean houses, and which places It is suitable to build a garden.These pay attention to get rid of those mysterious repetitions that can be used to appear tall, isn't the rest all knowledge?For thousands of years, among the layouts of classical Chinese gardens, which one remains today is not a classic?

Whether it is the royal gardens in the north, the Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens in the south, or even the Wubao Tulou, all the regulations adopted by the gentry are all based on Fengshui.And which answer sheet is not neat and clear, compatible with beauty and practicality?
Moreover, "The Yellow Emperor's House Classic" is no longer the original text, and the documents handed down to the world do not know its date.The regulations contained in this book are not the only regulations, and the existing editions are in order: Huangdi Erzhaijing, Didian Zhaijing, Sanyuan Zhaijing, Wenwang Zhaijing, Confucius Zhaijing, Zhaijinzhai Naozhai Tongzhai Jingtian Old House, Liu Gen’s House, Xuannv’s House, Sima Tianshi’s House, Huainan Zi’s House, Wang Wei’s House, Si Zui’s House, Liu Jinping’s House, Zhang Zibo’s House, Bagua House Sutra, Five Zhao House Sutra, Xuanwu House Sutra, 64 Hexagram House Sutra, Youpanlong House Sutra, Li Chunfeng House Sutra, Five Surname House Sutra, Lu Cai House Sutra, Feiyin Chaofu House Sutra, Zixia Jinmen House Sutra, Diao Tanzhai Sutra, all the sutras have been published, all of which are similar with minor differences, and they all talk about their own secrets, and push each other's strengths and weaknesses. If you don't seek it all, it will be insufficient.Recently, scholars have frequently attacked the five surnames, eight houses, and zodiac and white squares, all of which violated the great scriptures, and it was a disaster.

As mentioned above, there are actually many regulations, but “they are all the same, with minor differences, and they promote each other’s advantages and disadvantages.That is to say, you have to read them all and choose according to the actual situation, otherwise your problem may not be solved.Then directly criticize the "recent scholars", always pondering those crooked ways-well, I'm sorry for the wording, anyway, those folk remedies that are hanging around Latz are actually taboos, and they may not work.

Then you read the books of your ancestors all said so, but you believe in partial sects, and then you still say that the ancients were superstitious and unscientific?

The so-called "Eight Houses of Mirrors" and "Ten Books of Yang Houses" in later generations are basically extensions of the pattern of "The Yellow Emperor's House Classic".If you want to translate it into modern vocabulary such as ventilation, water source, lighting, orientation, etc., it is actually the same thing.

"The Yellow Emperor's House Classic" is a classic of Yangzhai, so the corresponding Yinzhai classic is Guo Pu's "Funeral Sutra" in the Jin Dynasty.In this book, Guo Pu clearly puts forward the concept of Feng Shui.

The burial is to hide, to take advantage of the vitality... its behavior depends on the situation of the place.Its gathering also stops due to the situation.The ancients gathered together so that they would not disperse, and if they did so, they would stop, so it is called Feng Shui.In the method of Feng Shui, getting water is the top priority, followed by hiding wind.When the qi is strong and popular, the rest is still there.Although it is scattered, the deep ones still gather together.The scriptures say: The external qi is rampant, and the internal qi is stopped. This is what I said.The scriptures say: Shallow and deep are multiplied, and Feng Shui is self-contained.

In other words, the burial is mainly a matter of hope.Qi sounds mysterious, but it actually means "adapting measures to local conditions".Obtaining water and hiding wind is what we said in the article, water source and shelter from wind are the first things considered in the method of Feng Shui.According to the topography, water source and wind direction, learn to choose the place of burial, the depth, and you will master the knowledge of Feng Shui.

Is this wrong?

With these statements by Guo Pu, the question arises.How to choose a blessed place is knowledge, so the more systematic one is "The Four Marbles of Geography" - Iron Marble "Geographic Elements".Lead marble "Essentials of Earth Science".Golden marble "Geography Yuanzhu Jing".Jade marble "Geography Yuanshu".This is a collection of four books.The so-called "Boshan Chapter" and "Shuilongjing" by later generations are actually derived from these geographical essentials.

Speaking of geography, everyone probably understands it.Is Wangshan solid and reliable, suitable for burial? From the perspective of the ancients, the shape of a dragon and a tiger is already the limit. Do you expect them to write it as fold mountain, fault block mountain, square mountain, and single-sided mountain?Don't all the slang words come from the industry consensus?When the ancients didn't have a complete understanding of the overall structure of the earth's crust, how did he know that the turtle's back was formed by folds, that dragon pattern was formed by broken blocks, that stupid pillar, and that one was called karst?Who is Karst, was he born at that time?

Looking at the water, looking at the vegetation, and observing the wind, these things involve water conservancy, biology, and meteorology, all of which belong to the research scope of ancient Feng Shui.Look at the Qin Mausoleum, so far no one has dared to dig it, the Han Mausoleum has no diseases and disasters, the Wu Wang Mausoleum is still verdant, the Tang Mausoleum and the Han Mausoleum are similarly located, Song Mausoleum in Henan, Ming and Qing imperial mausoleums, which one suffered a catastrophe?Was it flooded?Landslide?Mudslide?earthquake?
Therefore, as modern people with smooth consultation, it is best for us to think through our heads before expressing our opinions, look at the results, and then question whether there is any truth in it, whether it is science.

If you want to ask which Fengshui book can be read in modern times, I personally recommend Mr. Dong Bin's "Scientific Fengshui".Mr. Dong is an independent scholar, and to be honest, he is not considered an authority.The content and citations in this book can't be considered very rigorous, but at least the method is correct.To see things is to see the essence.As long as the method is right, we can find the answer ourselves.

What Feng Shui is is the knowledge of architectural site selection and layout, which is undoubtedly a science in itself.
