Chapter 1 Pray for Rain
Zhou Shui's grandfather is probably a fairy, even Zhou Shui thought so when he was young.For a small village with a few hundred people, you have to climb two mountains to enter the county.What have the villagers seen in the world?In their eyes, Grandpa Zhou Shui is omnipotent and seems to be a fairy.

For example, when Zhang's family gave birth to a baby, the baby's head was in the wrong direction, and it would take six hours for the child to be delivered.I had no choice but to invite Grandpa Zhou Shui, but Grandpa Zhou never entered the delivery room all his life. He only took a finger-thick cannon stick and lit it outside the window of the delivery room. cries.Later, Grandpa Zhou explained: "Children, are you still in a hurry to come out and have a look when you hear the sound of firecrackers?"

But Zhou Shui knew that grandpa was using Chinese medicine to fear and get angry.The pregnant woman was startled by the firecrackers, and her anger went down.The baby was born, and the mother was exhausted after a day of tossing, so she had to try this method.

One more thing, Grandpa Zhou slipped away early that day and walked along the mountain.At the foot of the mountain, old man Sun planted a garden of flowers and trees, which were in full bloom that morning.Grandpa Sun is an elegant person, and he can be compared with Grandpa Zhou. Old man Sun joked with Grandpa Zhou while tending the flowers and trees: "No wonder the flowers bloom early today. It turns out that they are welcoming the old fairy." Grandpa Zhou said with a smile: "Don't be happy. It's early, I think your garden flowers are not good, be careful of horseshoes."

Grandpa Sun laughed loudly: "As long as you can, the flowers in my garden are not planted on the official road, nor in the stables, so what horseshoes are you careful about?"

Unexpectedly, the next day, the two horses of the production team competed for the female and ran down biting all the way.The little flowerbed was trampled to pieces.Others said that Grandpa Zhou was unpredictable, and he was Zhuge Liang in ancient times.

Zhou Shui later heard about it from his grandfather. That day, his grandfather made a hexagram of "Tianfenggou" with his fingers bent, and the five lines moved, turning into a cauldron of wind and fire. For the horse, the master and the two horses compete with each other and trample on the flowers and trees.

Grandpa Zhou Shui also has the ability to appreciate treasures.Grandpa Zhou Shui was an imperial physician, and Grandpa Zhou Shui was the attending physician for Emperor Guangxu's illness.The emperor collapsed, and Grandpa Zhou Shui was arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.It took more than a year for the old man to be released, but he was deprived of his medical qualifications.

I had no choice but to open an antique shop in Liulichang.The old imperial doctor has a great reputation, and he is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and it is easy to learn antiques.In addition, the three generations of the old Zhou family's imperial physicians entered and exited the Forbidden Palace, what good things have not been seen?By speaking, he gained a firm foothold in Liulichang.Grandpa Zhou Shui's ability is better than that of Naifu, and he is known as Zhou at a glance.What kind of baby can tell the authenticity at a glance.

Later, the Qing Dynasty fell, and Yuan Shikai sat in the Dragon Court.Seeing the changes in the world, the old imperial doctor sold off BJ's property and antiques, and took his family to a small mountain village called Longling not far east of the capital. He bought [-] acres of paddy fields and lived a self-sufficient hermit life.

A pot of tea, a book, and a rattan chair can kill a day for the elderly.In the past few decades, the old doctor has not caught up with the years when the whole country was starving.After the old man rode the crane, he dropped his treasures behind him——a shelf of ancient books, Qing editions, Ming editions, and even Song editions of the Book of Changes.Only now did Zhou Shui know that the Song version of the book was worth every page.Grandpa also earned these books during those years in BJ.

Zhou Shui's father was taciturn and said a sentence into three days, which was exactly the opposite of Zhou Shui's character. Zhou Shui loved to say that this was only compared with his father, who seemed to talk too much.

Dad just learned the way of medicine from grandpa. There are many unique skills of grandpa, but dad only learned one.Grandpa asked him, why only study medicine?In fact, medicine and Yi are interlinked, and it is the relationship between stems and leaves. It is easier for those who understand Chinese medicine to learn.But Zhou Shui's father said that there are university students in every line of work.It is not easy to learn only one subject, and it is easy to learn.He didn't hide his words, and his words made Grandpa Zhou Shui blush.

In fact, the Zhou family's family skills are easy to support doctors, and because Zhou Yi learned well, he became a great doctor casually.With a high reputation, he entered the Imperial Hospital of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Because of Zhou Shui's father's unique theory, Grandpa Zhou Shui became cruel.You must train Zhou Shui to be a generalist, just to let his son see whether you are stupid or your ancestors are greedy.

Ever since, in Zhou Shui's own memories of Zhou Shui's childhood, there are only five words left, namely: read books, read on.Zhou Shui was in elementary school, middle school, and before he entered university, he almost suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even in the last two years of high school, he had to hold a book to fall asleep.Otherwise, the mind will be full of characters, all kinds of characters, simplified, traditional, official script, running script, and regular script.

It wasn't until Zhou Shui was admitted to a university that his life changed. With Zhou Shui's IQ, if he was not disturbed by the daily reading of ancient books, he would definitely not be admitted to the Chinese department of only one of the three universities.

Finally freed from the nightmare life, Zhou Shui laughed out loud in his dream.In fact, Zhou Shui has almost read the books at home.Moreover, Zhou Shui has definitely reached a very high level in Zhou Yi and the six meridian syndrome differentiation of Chinese medicine.According to grandpa, counting five generations from Zhoushui up, at the same age as Zhoushui, they have become the number one in Zhoushui.Let's just say, who has seen the ancestors five or six generations ago.But Zhou Shui does have a very good sense of himself.

In the first year of college, Grandpa Zhou Shui passed away.Zhou Shui robbed his father's work, beat the banner and threw the basin, saying that he was repaying his grandfather's kindness for teaching him.Zhou Shui was not very sad, his grandfather lived to be 86 years old.In the first two days before his death, Grandpa specially called Zhou Shui back from school.It was tacitly understood among the three generations that the grandfather did not leave any will, but only told Zhou Shui that the books in the family collection should not be scattered, and that this book was to be passed on to future generations, and it had to be handed down in its entirety.

The old man calculated the time, and before dressing up, the grandfather told his son, "Don't forget to do 'po wah'." Then he sat cross-legged on the kang, and when the time came, he leaned back.When he was angry, Zhou Shui's father kept chanting mantras, and Zhou Shui watched with his own eyes the "click" sound of his grandfather's Baihui acupoint, soaking in blood, and then a wisp of mist came out of Baihui acupoint.Fluttering up to the roof, after a while, slowly dispersed.

Zhou Shui heard from his grandfather that "Powa" is also called "Powa".It is a kind of "art" that Buddhism and Taoism have.The soul belongs to Yang, and the soul belongs to Yin. After death, the soul will leave the body from the mouth, and the soul will leave the body from the anus.Therefore, after death, the "spirit" is relatively dirty.The purpose of the "Powa" technique is to open the Baihui acupoint and let the soul come out of the Baihui, so that the soul will not fall into the evil way.

Zhou Shui and his son gave the old man a good look, and the family burst into tears.For the rest of the time, Zhou Shui and his son sat in meditation and recited scriptures, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Sutra, the Great Compassion Mantra, and the Rebirth Mantra several times.

The elderly are happy and mourning, and die without a disease. This is the best ending for a practitioner.Zhou Shui and his son are very clear that the old man has great Yin virtue, and this way of death is the greatest comfort to the deceased and future generations.

After the old man was buried, Zhou Shui returned to school after the first seven days.When he arrived at school, Zhou Shui recalled his grandfather's voice and smile again, but secretly cried a few times.

Zhou Shui finished the two-year course very calmly, and finally had an accident in the second half of the third year.The thing is like this, when a new teacher talks about ancient literature, it inevitably involves the issue of the Book of Changes.This teacher has a serious personal prejudice against Zhouyi.

There are some words in the lecture: "It is true that for thousands of years, it is one of the books that have had the greatest influence on us humans. However, the problem must be viewed dialectically, due to the human environment when it was produced and the ancients' ignorance of the natural world. , so that the Zhouyi also has imperfections.”

Hearing this, Zhou Shui was startled, and thought to himself: These few words are probably unprecedented.There are so many sages and Confucians who have a stern attitude towards the Book of Changes and worship them with a tripod.To put it simply, the philosophical basis of the Greater China Cultural Circle is one Buddha, two Taoism and three Confucianism, which is the Book of Changes.

I only heard the teacher still talking: "For example, Fengshui, Yao Gua, numerology and other deceptive things, their theoretical pillars are also Zhouyi. There are three kinds of Yizang, Guizang Yi, Lianshan Yi, and Zhouyi. The first two Yis have been lost. ——Obviously it cannot stand the test of history. We might as well make such an assumption, if Qin Shihuang also burned the Book of Changes, or at a certain point in later generations, its inheritance key was broken. Then, our history Is it possible to enter industrial civilization hundreds of years earlier? Of course, history does not allow assumptions, but personally speaking, I would rather the Zhouyi be destroyed in the inheritance, because in this case, history may provide a new direction for civilization.”

Zhou Shui couldn't bear it anymore.Even he himself was surprised that when Zhou Yi, whom he regarded as an enemy before, was belittled by others, he could actually feel angry in his heart.Even irrepressible.He faintly felt that insulting Zhouyi had already been elevated to the level of insulting his grandfather.

Zhou Shui thought about it, took a pen to write a note, and folded it into a coil.Then he stood up: "Teacher, I disagree with some of what you said just now. I think you have deviated from the teaching purpose and are talking about pseudo-academics."

The teacher was stunned for a moment, then his face sank and he said, "Student, please sit down first, we can communicate in private, please don't interfere with my lecture."

Obviously, the rest of the teacher's time was greatly affected by Zhou Shui's words, and he simply stopped teaching.He pointed to Zhou Shui and said, "That classmate, since you have different opinions, you might as well speak out, and use this proposition, let's discuss it."

Zhou Shui pondered for a moment, he was very clear that this kind of debate could not find enough materials and arguments to decide the winner.First of all, the opponent is a teacher, which already has a three-point chance of winning.

Zhou Shui calculated it carefully again, and after confirming that it was correct, he said: "Teacher, students, I just wrote a note. In three days, teacher, you have a class. Please put this note away first, and open it in three days. With this note, the debate between our teachers and students will be concluded."

The teacher smiled, "Okay, to be fair, this note is in my handout folder and locked in the drawer of this podium. You watch the table, and I will keep the key."

Three days later, it was still the same class, the last class in the morning.In the middle of the class, Zhou Shui suddenly stood up: "Teacher, please open that note, please read it."

The teacher smiled, opened the drawer, took out the note, unfolded it, and wrote a few words on it.Listen to the teacher read: "It's two quarters, Lei Zhen."

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a "bang" sound, and a big thunder exploded in the air.Everyone was startled, and some female classmates even screamed.Then read again: "Yunbu, there is rain coming from the east, and it closes at noon, and it rains a total of one inch and three minutes."

The students were all shocked.

It was dark outside, the rain must be coming, but I don't know if it will really stop at noon.This note was given to the teacher by Zhou Shui three days ago.The city's meteorological station only forecast the weather conditions for two days, and yesterday it did not forecast that there would be thunderstorms and rain today.The students in other classes outside also got the news, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, almost all the teachers and students in the school were waiting for the time when the rain stopped.

With the ponchos on their heads and faces, students with watches stared hard at their wrists, and students without watches also stared at their watches.Sure enough, around twelve o'clock, the rain really stopped.For a while, the whole class was dumbfounded and there was no sound.The teacher was even more astonished, sweat streaming down his head.His face was pale, and he almost ran away with the handout folder in his arms.

It was time for dinner, and the topic quickly spread.After being romanced by a classmate who can speak well, he began to move closer to the mysterious direction.

At the beginning, Zhou Shui was a little complacent, but soon Zhou Shui began to regret it-this matter has become a big deal.The principal had a talk with Zhou Shui in person, and the central idea was only four words "stop here".But Zhou Shui didn't think so.As time went by, Zhou Shui only had troubles left.This incident even spread to the society, and it was deduced in many versions, and after literary processing, Zhou Shui became a legend.

Fortunately, the media did not intervene.But Zhou Shui still couldn't stay any longer. First of all, a club called "Followers" appeared in the school.Take the homonym of "water" and "sui".And some people from the society went directly to the school, some were apprentices, some were seeking divination, some were planning to package Zhou Shui, and some wanted to partner up to open a Zhouyi training class and use Zhou Shui to make money.Not only seriously interfered with Zhou Shui's study and life, but also had an impact on the normal teaching order of the school.
