Those years when I practiced Taoism in the magic capital

Chapter 275 Daoist, let the old man do the fortune telling for you 【Subscribe! 】

Keep going, and there is a village not far away.

There were quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the village, and it was surprisingly quiet with so many people gathered together.

When Zhang Qingyun walked over, he saw dozens of people watching a blind fortune teller.The blind man was about sixty years old, sitting on a horse-trap, holding three copper coins in his hand.

Beside the blind man, there is also a bamboo pole, which is obviously the blind man's eyes.

Three-coin fortune-telling, also known as six-line fortune-telling, evolved from the Book of Changes.Back then, Zhang Qingyun's master, Yunsheng Zhenren, was proficient in six-line fortune-telling.

However, Master Yun Sheng didn't do much fortune-telling back then.

This is the special skill of Master Yun Sheng, who also taught Zhang Qingyun.

It's just that Zhang Qingyun's qualifications were too low at that time, and he was not serious, and was too playful.After studying for a period of time, he didn't learn the essence of it, and the real Yun Sheng became immortal again, so Zhang Qingyun never picked up a copper coin.

Copper coins were a common currency in ancient times, more popular than current coins.In addition, the outer circle and the inner square of copper coins symbolize heaven, earth and yin and yang, which makes copper coins more spiritual.

Therefore, if you hold the heaven and the earth with copper coins in your hand, you can know your fate in your palm.

What level is the old blind man? He hasn't started fortune-telling yet, and Zhang Qingyun doesn't know: "One hexagram occupies yin and yang, and the fate of the world is messed up. If you can't grasp it well, you have karma."

Therefore, the more capable the fortuneteller, the weirder his appearance, and he was either blind or lame.The body is the heaven and the earth, and if the body has defects, it means that the heaven and the earth are not complete, so it is possible to avoid disasters.

At that time, Master Yun Sheng used Liu Yao to fight for a reputation, but later he was willing to ruin his own reputation, intentionally miscalculated, and was almost smashed by someone.

It was also at that time that Zhang Qingyun decided that Liuyao fortune-telling was too fake.

It was not until recently that Zhang Qingyun understood what his master said before he became immortal: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, otherwise there will be retribution."

Zhang Qingyun didn't know what kind of retribution Master Yun Sheng got, anyway, before Master Yun Sheng emerged, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, finally let out a long sigh, and passed away.

Zhang Qingyun stood behind the crowd and did not push forward.

Most of the onlookers were watching the excitement, and few actually spent money on fortune-telling.

After all, the influence of atheism, not many people believe this now.

At this time, the old blind man was sitting on a horse-trap drinking water, holding a copper coin in one hand, and he was not in a hurry.

Apparently, anyone who does fortune-telling can do fortune-telling, and he will not solicit business if no one is fortune-telling.

Zhang Qingyun was very interested in this, so he didn't leave.

"Yituan, you are back from watering the vegetable garden."

On the way, the middle-aged cart puller that Zhang Qingyun met appeared on the street.

In the crowd, a man suddenly laughed, and shouted to the middle-aged man pulling the floor cart: "You water the vegetable garden really fast."

"Ha ha."

All the women laughed loudly: "Have you prayed to my lord and my god, holding clouds while walking?"

"Yituan, come here to tell your fortune. Calculate when you will be nailed to a wooden frame like your master."

The righteous group was full of ferocious eyes, glanced at them, and cursed: "You are blaspheming the heavenly father, and you will be punished by the heavenly father."

"Haha. He is from a foreign country. Can he understand me? It's hard to say anything. Can he still cross the line?"

"My life belongs to the Taoist ancestor, and it is not his business."

Laughing, the volunteer group pulled the car away, and only then did everyone see a young man in his thirties squatting on the ground, holding 20 yuan, and handing it to the blind man: "Let me do the math."

Seeing this young man, the villagers burst into laughter.

"Hall hall, if you don't help your sixth uncle water the vegetables, what's your fate here? You can figure out when you will marry a wife."

The auditorium didn't turn its head, and said: "I'm not going, my sixth uncle is going crazy, every time he sees me, he pulls me to join the church, saying that I can't marry a wife, I just don't believe it Lord of them, this is my punishment."

"What do you want to be?"

The blind man put down the teacup and put the lid on it.

"Listen to them, I'm still a bachelor, so let's count it as my marriage."

The blind man nodded, stood up first, faced south, clasped his fists in both hands, and bowed.This etiquette, called Litian, is about to reveal the secrets of the heavens, and first apologize to the heavens, which means, I want to do divination, count the heavens and the earth, show what I know, and hide what I don’t know.

In case I leak the secret, don't blame me.

Of course, the vast majority of people will not salute before fortune-telling.

In ancient times, the south was a ruler, and the establishment of the east, west, and northwest was first established from the south, and then the other three directions were determined.And this south, corresponding to the stars in the sky, contains very profound truths.

The ancients learned the orientation, they should first learn the south, the east on the left, the west on the right, and the north behind.And the south corresponds to the mythical beast Suzaku, the east corresponds to the green dragon, the west white tiger, and the north Xuanwu.

Unlike now, looking at the map is up north and down south, left west and right east.

In ancient times, the left and right directions were opposite, and the left side was east, which was the green dragon.On the right is the west, which is the white tiger.That's why there is the theory of left green dragon and right white tiger, which is based on this.

After the old blind man finished his salute, the three copper coins dangled in a bamboo tube and fell to the ground. This is called throwing hexagrams.Everyone knew that he couldn't see, and said: "Two positive sides, one dark side."

The blind man nodded, picked up the copper coin, shook it again and threw it again.

There are 64 hexagrams in Zhouyi, and each hexagram has six lines, and each line corresponds to the result of throwing a copper coin.

If there are three fronts, it is Laoyang, with changes in the line, and the symbol is a horizontal bar, followed by a mark, which means changing the line.The two fronts are Shaoyang, but there is only one horizontal bar.

One obverse is Shaoyin, and the symbol is two horizontal bars.If there is no front, it is Laoyin, and the symbol is two horizontal bars and a mark.

The old blind man couldn't see with his eyes, but the changes of the six lines were remembered in his heart.

The appearance of six lines will produce seven changes, namely no change, one change, two changes, three changes, four changes, five changes, and six changes.

Every change of line is the manifestation of destiny.

The old blind man threw his hexagram a few times, his expression changed, and finally he put away the copper coins.

Zhang Qingyun also kept these times of divination in mind, Zhang Qingyun is not very proficient in this.

However, Zhang Qingyun also wanted to see if the old blind man's fortune-telling was accurate.

Opening his eyes, Zhang Qingyun looked at the young man.

The radiance was dazzling, and eventually it was reduced to one point, turned into a seed, and fell behind the young man's head.A white beam of light soared into the sky, four or five meters high: "Mediocrity is destined to be lonely. The red luan is hard to move, and the red thread is hard to get"

"Fate is like this, the principle of destiny. Don't force it, it's hard to ask for it."

Zhang Qingyun knew that this young man was destined to be a bachelor.

Fate is destined, no matter what, it cannot be changed.

Zhang Qingyun was curious about how the old blind man would answer, and whether he had divination.

The old blind man pondered for a while: "According to the hexagram, you'd better make more money and prepare yourself for retirement."

The words are very tactful, but the meaning in the words is already very clear. If you can't find a wife, you can make money and take care of yourself by yourself.
The smile on the young man's face disappeared, and he squeezed out of the crowd with his head down.

It wasn't until the auditorium left that people in the village began to discuss: "Everything is good in this auditorium, but it is too lazy. There is no self-motivation. It would be great to go out to work. There are many girls there, so you can find one at least."

"Liao Ri spends his time every day, either playing cards or drinking, that's all, and no one is willing to match him."

"Oh, but it's hard for Brother Yimin. He's going crazy about wanting to have a grandson. Without a daughter-in-law, how can he have a grandson?"

Zhang Qingyun didn't pay attention to the villagers' discussion.

Looking at the old blind man, he still looked like that, and didn't say a word.

This blind man's ability is not bad, and it is no different from what the sky eye predicted.

Six-line fortune-telling is not useless, it is quite accurate.

After forgetting this hexagram, the old blind man got up.

"Master, let me do the math too."

A little daughter-in-law squeezed in.

The blind man shook his head: "The old man only calculates three hexagrams a day, but now he has calculated two hexagrams, and it is still useful to save the last hexagram."

"Master, you tell fortunes to others, why don't you tell fortunes to yourself, when will your eyes be healed?"

This is pure sarcasm, the old blind man has been down for an unknown number of years, and at such an old age, how could he still see the light again?

The loess is buried up to the neck, and there are not a few years to live. Even if the light is restored, what is the point?
This is not only sarcasm, but also a negation of the old blind man's hexagrams.

You are so accurate in fortune-telling for others, why not fortune-telling for yourself?

The old blind man neither refuted nor defended.

"Master, you can't tell your fortune, can you, or can you tell your own fortune?"

As the saying goes, it is difficult to know if you count others but not yourself.

However, this is for ordinary fortune tellers.

A capable fortune teller, don't talk about yourself, even if you calculate the sky and the earth, you are all right!

For example, King Wen, the ancestor of the 64 hexagrams, had calculated a hexagram for himself before he went to Chaoge. He had the pain of imprisonment but no fear of his life.Sure enough, King Wen was not killed, and was finally imprisoned in Yili.

Therefore, counting others is not counting oneself, but it is what people who don’t understand say. The ancestor of the 64 hexagrams can count a hexagram for himself, but the people of later generations can’t?
Hearing these discussions, the old blind man smiled: "The old man has made a fortune for himself, and the old man's eyes will be bright again today."

"Ha ha."

The onlookers laughed and took this sentence as a joke.

The old blind man had a smile on his face, and naturally he would not argue.Carrying the Maza and tapping the bamboo pole with one hand, he walked towards the west of the village.

"Hey, there's another Taoist priest here?"

The old blind man left, and Zhang Qingyun wanted to leave too, so everyone discovered Zhang Qingyun.

"Daoist, are you also here to tell a fortune?"

A Taoist priest suddenly appeared, and everyone was still very curious.

After all, Taoist priests are still very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Aren't all Taoist priests able to do fortune-telling by themselves? Why do they still ask someone else to do fortune-telling?"

"This Taoist priest seems to have no skills at first glance."

Zhang Qingyun shook his head and was about to leave without answering.

At this time, the old blind man stopped and turned around: "Master Daoist, the old man can help you do a fortune telling."
