Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 30

Four pillars of pure yin?

Lin Zhuming listened carefully at the door.

The four pillars are the year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth, respectively called the year pillar, month pillar, day pillar, and hour pillar.

The so-called four-column pure yin means that the heavenly stems and earthly branches are arranged in order.

Even numbers are Yin and odd numbers are Yang.

B, D, Ji, Xin and Gui in the heavenly stems all belong to Yin.Among the Earthly Branches, Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai belong to Yin.

Others are singular and belong to Yang.

Generally speaking, people with four pillars of pure yin often suffer from body cold, have a pure heart and few desires, and have strong inspiration, so they are prone to encounter "dirty" things.

That is the so-called "pure yin constitution".

Many evil masters in the Jianghu like people with this kind of fate. Both men and women are good-looking, and they can be used as a cauldron to harvest yin and nourish yang.

After tossing to death, the soul is imprisoned, it can become a fierce ghost, and the Tianling Gai can also be made into a magic weapon.

It is easier for people with this kind of fate to practice than ordinary people, because they are pure-hearted and focused on doing things, but they are also prone to disasters.

Lin Zhuming looked through the crack of the door, and it was still the two ghosts before.

Are these two ghosts not spies?Why do you always talk about this kind of thing at the gate of the temple, deliberately telling me, is it good or bad for them?
"It would be great if I could get the Shengmin book in the hands of the household officials, then I would know who is Sizhu Chunyin."

"The people in the City God's Mansion are all lions, and our God of Wealth is too lazy to deal with them. Besides, we have left behind a trick. Isn't he taking the money we earned?"

"Although there are few four pillars of pure yin, there are always something wrong. We go from house to house to look, and we can always find them."

Lin Zhuming listened: "It's not like a spy anymore, it's a model worker, who doesn't fish at all. It's a pity that such a person will not be promoted."

After the two ghosts floated away, Lin Zhuming read: "We can't let them harm people, but it's not very difficult to subdue these two little ghosts, but there is a God of Wealth behind them, and the city god is also there." It's unreliable, people want to harm people, and they still think about borrowing the Shengmin book."

He read again: "What day is this coming? Why do these ghosts prepare people with four pillars of pure yin?"

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he flipped through the Shi Xian Shu.

That is the calendar, but in order to avoid the name of the emperor, it was changed to the constitution.

It doesn't matter if you turn it over, look at it, and you're shocked.

"Shangsi Festival, Cold Food Festival, Ching Ming Festival, how come these three festivals are squeezed into one day?"

"The underworld also takes a break?" Lin Zhuoming shook his head.

The Shangsi Festival is the day when the heavens and the earth spit out the filth, and it is the day of "exorcism" and "bath by the side". This is a primitive religious ceremony to eliminate evil and defilement.

Folks often bathe in orchid soup to get rid of filth.

It is also the day when boys and girls go out for outings and spring outings.

March [-], Shangsi Festival.

In addition, it is also "Girl's Day" and "Peach Blossom Festival".

As for the Cold Food Festival, fireworks are prohibited during the Cold Food Festival, and the common people do not light fires in their stoves, sweep tombs to worship ancestors, and serve cold food tributes.

If there are no fireworks, the yang energy in the house will be weak.

As for Tomb-sweeping Day, let alone, it rains heavily during Tomb-sweeping Day, and passers-by on the road want to lose their souls.

At this time, the gate of the underworld is opened, and ghosts enjoy sacrifices one after another. At the same time, many devils who bribed the underworld will also take advantage of this time to escape from the underworld.

These three sections are generally in order, and rarely meet a day.

Although the festival customs are all integrated together, there is no distinction.

"In the past, whenever this happened, the tomb-sweeping was either advanced or postponed."

"I'm afraid there will be many people with light horoscopes and weak fates who will collide with lonely souls and wild ghosts."

Lin Zhuming said: "It's not a good time for Taoist Zhao to go out at this time!"

"Those two ghosts said Taoist Zhao was hunted down, and now they don't know if it's safe or not."

"However, in the temple, there should be nothing wrong with the real gentleman sitting in the town, but if it goes out of the temple gate, maybe it will."

"It seems that my newly learned talisman against evil is effective. I need to draw more these days."

However, it is not an auspicious time to open the altar for the talisman.

Lin Zhuming recited the mantra a few more times and waited for the cock to crow before calling Zhao Zhongxin to do morning lessons and practice exercises together.

He tried meditation for the first time last night, but he didn't persist for a long time. Unlike Lin Zhuoming, he was already used to meditation. He used to meditate often to relieve "spiritual fatigue" when he was studying at school, but he still fell asleep.

It’s just that after timetraveling, I learned the art of internal refinement of the sun and the moon, and it usually takes two or three hours to fly to the moon at night. At this time, I am completely refreshed, and I don’t need to go to sleep to replenish my mind.

Ordinary people should do the same when meditating. You still have to sleep, but you should not sleep in and get up when you wake up.

As for when it is suitable to meditate, for example, you can meditate during your lunch break, and you can meditate when you are irritable.

However, if your legs are numb, your Qi and blood are blocked, and you even forcibly pull your legs up, then there is no need to continue to meditate.

Zhao Zhongxin was still a little dazed, but he didn't get angry.

Do morning class with Lin Zhuming, but also in a daze.

"Danzhu Mouth God, vomits filth and removes atmosphere. Tongue God is upright, life nourishes the spirit. Luo Qiantooth God, but evil guards the truth. Throat God Hu Ben, Qi God draws Tianjin. Mind Spirit Danyuan makes me understand the truth. Si Shen In refining the liquid, Dao Qi always exists, and the Taishang Laojun is as urgent as a law."

But he also slowly woke up.

After finishing the morning class, Lin Zhuming asked: "The poor Taoist has been here for several days, why do you feel that you don't have any pilgrims here?"

"The Temple of the God of Wealth, the Temple of the City God, and the Temple of Wenchang, they are full of incense. This is normal. There is only one true emperor in our temple, and the true emperor can only keep safe. He can't keep getting rich, studying, and retribution from the underworld..."

Zhao Zhongdao: "However, there will still be incense on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. In addition, my master will also offer sacrifices during festivals, and the surrounding people will also come to pray for blessings."

Lin Zhuming heard it: "No wonder, we didn't promote it, your master is not here anymore, we will also hold an event!"

"What?" Zhao Zhongxin became interested: "Brother Lin, do you want to know how?"

Lin Zhuming nodded: "The general meeting can't be held, but a small meeting is always possible. It can earn incense for the real gentleman. It doesn't matter if we eat chaff and vegetables, but the real gentleman can't!"

"Come on, make a proposal."

Lin Zhuming asked Zhao Zhongxin to bring paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and began to write.

Lin Zhuming's brush calligraphy is still good, because Taoist priests often encounter "transcendence" matters.

The old Taoist often comes into contact with various "inscriptions" or couplets.

Therefore, Lin Zhuo learned brush calligraphy at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, all of which were practiced inscriptions, most of which were in the style of Wei and Jin.

The Wei and Jin styles are more sloppy and less upright; more rough and less delicate; more sharp and less reserved.

The same is true of Lin Zhuming's handwriting, but the popular one at this time should be "Guange style", which is stereotyped, and the marking teachers like this type of font. I don't know if anyone can appreciate Lin Zhuming's handwriting.
