The forced marriage failed, but the poor boy turned around to exorcise demons and save people

Chapter 63 Metaphysics
Matchmaker Tang knew that Qiao Mu couldn't read, so she explained to her the most basic things in layman's terms, what are the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

The heavenly stems and earthly branches are the observations of celestial phenomena in ancient times, which are divided into ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches. These are matched in sequence, and the two cooperate in a fixed order to form the stem and branch era method.That is to say, when matchmaker Tang arranged the marriage between the two people, the month and day mentioned were based on this calculation.

"These heavenly stems and earthly branches are also the basis for our study of metaphysics."

Tang Matchmaker spoke in simple terms and explained her understanding slowly.

"Metaphysics?" Qiao Mu probably understood the heavenly stems and earthly branches mentioned earlier, but at present, she was confused by the word "metaphysics."

What is metaphysics?
Tang Matchmaker was surprised for a moment. Qiao Mu didn't even understand this?
"It would be troublesome to go into details. All you need to know is that what you and I are exposed to today are collectively called metaphysics."

"There are many schools of metaphysics today, including those who hunt monsters and ghosts, and Tianyi Guan is more prominent. There are also various fortune tellers. Now I am a fortune teller myself, telling people's fortunes. There are also fortune tellers who use the Five Elements and Bagua Combination, fortune-telling and fortune-telling for people, this kind of people are more proficient in this category. I know the Taoist Master Xuanling of Tianyiguan. There are also Feng Shui, such as those who read the tombs mentioned last time, and the direction of the house. , including the living location of the children and adults in the home, the placement of things, etc. There are other things that I won’t go into detail.”

Nowadays, your identity is the psychic master's wife, connecting the yin and yang worlds, and you can also be counted as catching ghosts and monsters.

And I also have the function of channeling, but more importantly, I summon the souls of the dead to realize the wishes of mortals, and through the date of their birth, I can watch the changes in their fortunes and the calamities of life and death.It's kind of like fortune telling. "

Qiao Mu understood that metaphysics was so complicated.

"But you are born with a pair of yin and yang eyes, so you are most suitable to be this teacher's wife. You can also learn the fortune-telling technique."

"it is good."

"But among these techniques, the most basic ones are the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Five Elements and Bagua, so you have to learn them carefully. The second is the Four Pillars and Eight Characters. After learning these two, learning other ones will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."

It took an hour for Qiao Mu to understand what the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were and their combinations.

"Tomorrow we will learn from the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which are in conflict and harm. There are different relationships between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, as well as the Five Elements."

Next, Matchmaker Tang briefly talked about what the Five Elements are.

The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and these must also be combined with the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

After hearing what the Five Elements were, Qiao Mu thought of the superpowers of humans and zombies in the end of the world. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were the most common. It turns out that it was the same here, and metaphysics also needed to know what the Five Elements were.

In this way, Qiao Mu started traveling between the Song family and the Tang family every day.

The people in the village soon learned of Tang Matchmaker's plan, which was to train Qiao Mu as the heir.

But Tang Matchmaker never said whether he was the heir or not, and Qiao Mu would not think about the answer to this question.

But some people in the village did not comply.

"Bang bang bang!"

A fierce knock on the door broke Qiao Mu's thoughts. She frowned and looked at Matchmaker Tang.

Matchmaker Tang waved her hand: "Don't worry, you continue to think." Having studied for five days, Matchmaker Tang directly tortured Qiao Mu this morning.

I recently learned the symbolic meaning of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. It was a bit difficult to remember this. Qiao Mu answered wrongly. After Tang Matchmaker explained it again, Qiao Mu continued to memorize it.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Grandma Tang, open the door, I'm here!" A childish voice came into the house along with another heavy knock on the door.

Tang Matchmaker's eyes flashed, and she frowned and looked at the door.

Qiao Mu lowered her eyes and recalled what she had learned recently. She knew who the visitor was.Matchmaker Tang, I'm afraid there will be trouble!
"You learn, I'll open the door." Tang Matchmaker sighed and turned around and walked out.

Qiao Mu bit her pen and thought she should go out, but she was afraid that when she went out, those people would be more angry when they saw her and cause more trouble and distress to Matchmaker Tang.

However, the next moment she had already stood up.

A family of three came outside. The child was only over six years old. He followed his parents and looked very proud.

Seeing Matchmaker Tang, he cried with tears in his eyes: "Mother Tang!"

"What's the matter?" Matchmaker Tang asked the young man and woman in front of her.

"Little aunt, didn't I say that I would adopt Dong'er to you for retirement? Let's come over today to discuss this matter." The woman's name is Du Xiaoqin, and she is related to the village chief's wife.She was married to the son of Tang Matchmaker’s husband’s eldest brother.

...

Tang Matchmaker's husband had a normal relationship with his four brothers during his lifetime. After Tang Matchmaker's husband and son passed away, Tang Matchmaker did not plan to remarry.She was still young at that time and had not remarried, so she won the praise of all the elders of the Liu clan.

Of course, some of them didn't believe what Matchmaker Tang said at all.

Tang Matchmaker was young and good-looking at the time. Soon many people came to propose marriage, but Tang Matchmaker rejected them completely.

Then some people said that Tang Matchmaker would die alone.

The elders also knew that it was not easy for Tang Matchmaker, and finally decided to find a child from her husband's brother's descendants to adopt into their name.

Tang Matchmaker agreed at the time, but none of the children's parents agreed, and in the end the matter was dropped.

Later, Tang Matchmaker made a lot of money because of this metaphysics, and these people became jealous again.After all, this thing makes a lot of money.

After that, several families came to express their thoughts and wanted to inherit their sons or grandsons, but Matchmaker Tang refused again.

Those people saw that Tang Matchmaker really had no intention of accepting a disciple, so they had no choice but to give up.

But who knew that Qiao Mu came recently and Tang Matchmaker personally taught him, so the jealousy of those people arose again.

No, today I brought my manpower to force Matchmaker Tang to accept a disciple!

Matchmaker Tang sneered: "Please come back!" Her eyes fell on the child beside her again: "I don't need an adoptive child, you take him away too!"

"Why is there no need! You have already taught Qiao Mu. I will adopt my son to you. He is your son. You can also teach him by the way and let him learn. If he can learn something, wouldn't it be better to come out in public? Is that so?" Du Xiaoqin followed the instructions with a very obvious purpose.

"Ha! What a good calculation!" Matchmaker Tang took two steps back: "I don't need an heir."

Du Xiaoqin was rejected again and again, and her expression turned ugly: "You also said you don't need an heir, so why does Qiao Mu come to your place every day?"

"Little aunt, why don't you distinguish between relatives and outsiders? Qiao Mu is an outsider after all. You have such a good ability to make money, why don't you take advantage of your own family? When you get old in the future, we will have to carry the coffin!"

"No need!" Matchmaker Tang was shocked by these shameless words: "I will be buried with villagers carrying the coffin in a hundred years, I don't need you to do anything!"

"Learning this requires restraining relatives, parents, and brothers and sisters. Are you sure you want him to learn these things?" Qiao Mu narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly.
