When words are spoken in advance, there will be signs of consequences later on, so the wise value them and call them prophecies.

As the text suggests, "chen" is a kind of prophecy with a mysterious color, which shows the world the good and bad fortune, order and chaos, prosperity and decline in the dark. Since prophecy books are often accompanied by pictures, they are also called "tuchen". These prophecy books are believed to be in line with the will of heaven, so they are often called "fuming".

According to historical records, prophecies appeared very early. As early as the Qin Dynasty, there were prophecies such as "The one who will destroy Qin is Hu."

As for the weft, it is a tributary of the warp, and it also has other meanings.

The Weishu are in contrast to the Jingshu. The Jingshu are the classics of Confucianism and were written by saints. Many of the contents in them are difficult to understand, so the Weishu, which are used to explain and supplement the classics, appeared.

Since the contents of the Wei Shu, when explaining and supplementing the Confucian classics, are generally mixed with a large amount of theological superstition and theories of yin and yang and disasters, the makers of prophecies often choose the Wei Shu as a carrier. In addition, the contents of prophecies and Wei Shu are both strongly colored with mysticism, so they are gradually confused.

For this reason, the theory of prophecies and divination came into being.

Dong Fu, the governor of Yizhou, was a leader in the study of prophecies and divination. He studied under Yang Hou, a master of prophecies and divination from the same county, and was as famous as his fellow villager Ren An. His reputation was so great that it spread throughout the world. He was appointed as the prime minister ten times, summoned by the emperor three times, and was also called upon to select virtuous, upright, doctoral students, and virtuous people, but he always claimed to be ill and refused the positions.

Later, with the recommendation of General He Jin, Dong Fu was appointed as the Palace Attendant. When he lived in Luoyang, he realized that the government was in chaos and that there would be a disaster. So, in order to protect himself, he privately told Liu Yan, the Minister of Rites, who was planning to go out, that "the capital will be in chaos, and the emperor's spirit is in Yizhou." This encouraged Liu Yan, who originally wanted to seek the post of Governor of Jiaozhi, to go out as the military supervisor and governor of Yizhou.

Dong Fu sought the position of commander of Shu County and entered Shu together with Liu Yan. After entering Shu, things turned out just as he had expected. Emperor Ling of Han died, General He Jin was killed by eunuchs, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others killed the eunuchs, and then Dong Zhuo led his army into Luoyang, and the world was suddenly in chaos.

After hearing about the chaos in Luoyang in Shu County at that time, Dong Fu lamented and felt fortunate at the same time. He lamented the misfortune of the Han Dynasty and the evil deeds of treacherous officials, and he was fortunate that he could foresee the future and use a fictitious prophecy to encourage Liu Yan to join Shu, thus saving himself.

However, now that things had come to this, the prophecy he had made up in order to protect himself actually showed signs of coming true. This inevitably surprised Dong Fu, as the changes in the world were unspeakable.

As the governor of Guanzhong, Dong Fu was naturally able to access the latest news on the Guanzhong War. Today, he received the results of the Guanzhong War issued by the shogunate. Guanzhong had been settled, and traitors such as Li Jue and Guo Si had all been beheaded. The vast Guanzhong area fell into the control of the wise Liu Zhang.

"Could it be that Yizhou really has the aura of an emperor?!"

Dong Fu fell into deep self-doubt. What he had just said to protect himself had turned out to be true. All of this was unbelievable to him and made him feel uneasy.

'Am I a rare master of prophecy, and my random words have the power to come true? ! '

Lying on a rocking chair in the backyard of his home, Dong Fu half-closed his eyes. His body was covered with irregular spots of sunlight that fell through the gaps in the dense elm leaves above, swaying constantly in the wind.

'Fate is like a weave, very mysterious!'

After a long while, Dong Fu, who was considered a great prophet in the eyes of the common people in Shu County, sighed meaningfully. …

Chengdu, Huang Quan’s residence.

Since Huang Quan was the prefect of Hanzhong and was far away in Hanzhong, the only people living in the Huang Mansion were Huang Quan's sister Huang Wan, a dozen servants in the Mansion, and more than a hundred elite soldiers guarding outside the Mansion.

The common people of Chengdu did not find it strange to see the soldiers guarding outside Huang's mansion. After all, Huang Quan's sister Huang Wan was praised by the governor Dong Fu as having the potential to become a noble woman, and she had already been engaged to Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou. However, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, intended to avenge his second brother first to comfort his spirit in heaven, so the wedding date was delayed until now.

But now, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, has pacified Guanzhong and killed Li Jue and Guo Si, the two enemies who killed his brother. His great revenge has been achieved, and his wedding date with Huang Wan is approaching. It is thought that Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, will marry Huang Wan soon.

"He is indeed a man of great wealth. Dong Fu, the governor, is a great scholar in divination." Whenever the scholars and common people in Chengdu talked about this, they could not help but sigh at the foresight of Dong Fu, the governor. He could predict his life and future with just one look.

In addition, Dong Fu, the governor, had previously said: "Yi land has the aura of an emperor." This was very consistent with the current situation. As a result, in the eyes of the scholars and common people in Chengdu, Dong Fu, the governor, became a master of prophecy and divination, who was unpredictable and learned from heaven and earth.

Until now, dignitaries would come to the residence of Governor Dong Fu every day, sincerely offering Shu brocade, gold, silver and rare items, hoping to ask Dong Fu for a prophecy. They would often block the road in front of Dong Fu's residence, leaving no room for carriages and horses to turn around, and people could go in but not leave, disturbing Dong Fu's peace and making him very annoyed.

At the same time, the road in front of Huang Quan's mansion in Chengdu was also filled with carriages and horses, and the road was blocked. Unlike the people who came to the door of Zhizhong Dong Fu to seek prophecies, the visitors in front of Huang Quan's mansion wanted to maintain friendship with Huang Quan.

After all, all the gentry and common people in Chengdu knew that Huang Quan's sister Huang Wan would be Liu Zhang's legal wife. Huang Quan was also Liu Zhang's right-hand man and held the important post of prefect of Hanzhong. The future of the Huang family in Baxi County would be extremely rich and limitless.

However, visitors who came to the Huang Mansion knew that Huang Quan was now staying in Hanzhong and that Huang Quan's sister Huang Wan was the only female member of the Huang Mansion. As a female member, it was inconvenient for her to meet others. Therefore, most visitors presented gifts and left their business cards at the door and then said goodbye. They did not dare to disturb them in the slightest for fear of disturbing the female members of the family.

But even the gift-giving made Huang Wan in the mansion a little annoyed. Huang Wan carefully instructed the person in charge in the mansion: "Uncle Huang, the business cards of the visitors can be left behind for my brother to check when he returns. As for the gifts brought by the visitors, they must not be kept and must be taken away as they are."

"Yes." Uncle Huang, whose hair was half black and half white, with the black and white colors mixed together, responded.

"Go." After giving the instructions, Huang Wan waved away Uncle Huang and asked Uncle Huang, the person in charge, to deal with the outside affairs. As she was a woman, it was not easy for her to socialize and greet guests, so she just stayed at home waiting to be married.

Living in the mansion, Huang Wan did not have much to do. She could only do needlework, embroider a beautiful handkerchief, or weave silk cloth on a loom as a daily pastime.

But today, Huang Wan had no intention of doing needlework. She was thinking of her lover who was in Guanzhong. (End of this chapter)
