Chapter 26: Lu Yuqiren digging the land to get gold
I sat down and was curious how he wanted to divine this divination for me.
I saw the man in white take out six copper coins from his arms and hand them to my hands, making me silently recite what I thought in my heart and throw it on the table. I suddenly realized that the man used the method of divination to be a money lesson.
King Wen’s money lesson has been around since ancient times, and is also called King Wen’s sixty-four hexagrams. Because most of the things used are copper coins, it is commonly known as “money lessons”.
All diviners must be upright, have a respectful and pious attitude, use clear money or horns, hold it with both hands, hold it high in their eyes, silently think about what they want to know, shake it several times, after shaking it, scatter the money on the table, and then put it in a row from the bottom to the top, with the marks on the front and the back, and the hexagrams that are shaken out of good or bad fortune. The hexagrams that Ling Xuan had previously divined for me and Shen Lang were derived from this technique.
I took the copper coins from his hand and held them high in my hand. I silently thought about the good and bad luck of going to Jinling this time. I shook them a few times and threw the copper coins on the table. After they were placed, the first three is positive, and the second four five six is negative.
"The seventh hexagram of King Wen, the fire and earth Jin hexagram."
The man saw the hexagram I had obtained after just one look, and suddenly came out without hesitation.
"The fire land, Jin hexagram. Hoe the land and get gold. The hexagram says that farmers show weeding in the land, but who knows that wealth and gold will be found. Jin is moving forward and gaining gold after moving forward, so there is a sign of hoeing the land and getting gold. It is a farmer who hoes the land and holds the ridges. It is very hard. One day, he hoes the land and hoes gold, which is a sign of the time when he moves."
I am also a person who is obsessed with metaphysics. I have naturally known this hexagram for a long time and are familiar with it. The Wenwang hexagram is simple and easy to understand. Anyone can do divination. If the front and back of the copper coins are matched one by one in the recorded hexagram records, you can get the hexagram words and hexagram symbols.
But the hexagram is a matter of opinion. The difference between an expert and a liar is that of a liar. Next, we look at the ability of the person in front of us to understand the hexagram. Whether he has real skills or a liar in the world, I am curious but still sincere on my face.
"I hope the sir can help me explain the divination."
"This hexagram is to get gold by hoeing the ground, indicating that although you have gained something in this trip, you still need to work hard on your own. This is a great sign."
I felt a little disappointed. If I had just entered the door of metaphysics, I could say this. It seemed that I overestimated him.
I nodded and thanked her, thinking to myself that the man in white was just like this, and Qi Zhi was waiting for me to be bored and played with the wind chime in her hand. She didn't notice for a moment, and the wind chime actually fell to the ground. I quickly picked it up for her and prepared to say goodbye.
"The most important thing is to follow the way of heaven, time, place and people. This hexagram is the fire, earth and Jin hexagram. Hoe the ground to get gold, and then run it from time to time, which is auspicious signs. The focus is on getting gold. The wind chime of this girl just fell to the ground. The hexagram is a gold character, and the wind chime of the wind chime is a bell. The golden bell is Jinling... I wonder if the young master is going to Jinling for this trip?"
The man in white spoke again, his tone of inquiry, but there was a sense of unrefutable affirmation. When the three of us heard this, they looked at each other in a silence.
Very few people know about going to Jinling, and naturally the person who knows it will not come to tell the man in white. Could it be that I really took a look at it? The person in front of me is really a master of enlightenment?
"I wonder what other ideas do you have?"
I put away the contempt in my heart and asked sincerely.
"Young Master might as well test another word, and I'll see what else can I measure."
The man smiled indifferently, his expression was indescribable mystery and freedom.
I thought about it, picked up the brush placed beside the table, wrote a big word "king" on rice paper, and looked at the man opposite calmly.
"I just use this word "king" to ask about things, but I still ask about the future."
After finishing the sentence, it may be because of excessive pen filling the ink, and the ink on the brush dripped on the rice paper, and it fell on the word "官网" without bias, becoming the word "官".
The man smiled and looked at me with a pun.
"I say that this divination is the most important thing in terms of the world, time, place, and people. Young Master, do you think I am testing the word "king" for you or the word " jade" for you?"
I have nothing to say, is this God's will?
"Oh, there is no such trouble. What does the word Wang mean and what does the word Yu mean? Isn't it enough to say it?"
Qi Zhi suddenly spoke aside. Although her tone was not very good, she looked like a child and said something like a child acting cute, so naturally no one would get angry.
Qi Zhi spoke aside, and the atmosphere became less tense. I smiled slightly and spoke to the man.
"Sir, don't blame her. She is this childish temper. Since this is the case, Mr. Dare to express it one by one. How can the word "wang be explained? How can the word "yu be explained?"
"The character Wang is the word "Gold" removes the man and two dots. Jin is the west, and the commander's soldiers and swords are the solemn and kills, which also refers to autumn. Similarly, it can be decomposed into a cross and adds a stroke to each other. It can be seen that one person has no way to go to heaven and no door to earth because of military affairs, while Jin is autumn. In autumn, geese fly south. It seems that this person finally came to the south, and Jinling seems to be in the south."
The man in white looked calm and talked freely, but he actually had something to do with Jinling.
"Although you originally meant to test the word "King", you can't hold it firmly for a while, and the ink dripped on the paper and turned into a word "Jade". Maybe God's will is hinting to you."
"The old saying goes, a gentleman will never leave his body without reason. He is a king, and his body is a king. It seems that this person who has no way to heaven and no doors to the earth is still an emperor. When the white clouds and the blue dogs change, many emperors have turned into clouds and mists. In this way, the place you are going to should be an emperor's tomb."
"The word "jade" is originally a hieroglyphic character. It originally means a rope with jewelry and jade, which means working together to share weal and woe. Combined with the money lessons obtained from the divination just now, it means that although your progress is smooth, you still have to rely on the help of those who are walking around you."
The man in white talked a long story, then took a sip of tea and watched me stop saying a word.
Although I still have some doubts, I subconsciously believe that this person is indeed a master who sees through the mystery. After all, the statue of Bifang was placed in Yang Guang's tomb by Yuan Tiangang. I think there are other places that may also be related to a certain emperor.
I went to Jinling this time, and I believe Ling Xuan Chunting and others would also go there. Their skills are very good, so of course they will be of great help to me.
The person in front of him did not know the existence of Chunting Ling Xuan and others. If he could say this, he would naturally be a master of enlightenment.
"Mr. He is very capable, but he is extraordinary and unfathomable. I just judged people by his appearance and had doubts. I hope he will forgive me."
I was respectful and gave a deep salute to the man in front of me.
The man in white moved a little, as if he didn't want to accept my salute, so he shook the folding fan and looked at me with deep meaning.
"Young Master's words are heavy, and meeting is fate. According to the hexagram, if you hoe the ground, you will get gold. Although it is important to get gold, you must not forget the previous act of hoeing the ground. Even if you have friends around you, you will definitely succeed in this trip, but a setback is essential, and you must not be discouraged."
"I dare to leave a sentence for the young master. After the young master reaches his destination, if the matter he wants does not progress, think more about what I said, and you will know it at that time."
"When millions of people are left in history, they dare to be called the strange man in the world..... I hope the young master will remember it in his heart."
After saying that, he didn't even want this divination stall and left step by step with a folding fan.
Xue Nan and Qi Zhi and I looked at each other, with curiosity towards this man in each other's eyes.
"Hey hey, are you going to tell fortunes?"
At this time, a man in his forties dressed in Taoist robe came, walked to the divination stall, sat in front of us, and asked us.
"Who are you?"
I didn't know what was going on, so I asked carefully.
"Did you just want to tell fortunes when you come to my stall? Tell me, do you want to calculate marriage or academic future?"
The man later spoke carelessly.
"Is this stall yours? I just saw that the stall owner was a young man in white?"
I couldn't help but wonder, is there two owners in this stall?
The man who opened the back slapped his thigh and said excitedly to me.
"You talk about him. I suddenly had a stomachache just now. I don't know what I had eaten. A young man volunteered to help me see the stall. When I thought I had nothing valuable, I asked him to help me see it. It was strange. I promised to help me see the stall. Where did this person go? Young people are really unreliable now..."
Before he could finish speaking, I quickly pulled Xue Nan and Qi Zhi, who were confused next to me, and left. After walking far away, I still couldn't control the shock on my face.
This man in white is not an ordinary hexagram master at all. He is waiting for me here intentionally!
Even I don’t know that I will pass by here today, and this man can actually know in advance, waiting for me here?
But when he thought of his magical method of calculation, it seemed that this was not a difficult task for him.
I muttered something, wanting to remember the two words that the man in white told me. I believe that since he was waiting for me specifically, he must have something he wanted to tell me. These two words may be the most important hint of my trip to Jinling.
"When millions of people are left in history, they dare to be called the world's strange man..."
