Chapter 35 I Ching

[I thought about it for a long time before I came out this chapter ~ Happy Mid-Autumn Festival ~ Dear friends]

In a while, the shape of a gossip was perfectly outlined with the flexibility on Wang Qi's claws, which is known as the gossip map of Chinese descendants. However, the gossip map drawn by Wang Qi is different from the Taiji gossip map that people usually see in stores or at home, because Wang Qi only The eight trigrams were drawn on the ground, but no Taiji was added, mainly to restore the original shape of the eight trigrams map for easy explanation, and the eight trigrams on the ground also have another ancient name - Fuxi eight trigrams map.

Fuxi Baguatu first began in ancient China. It is said that the Chinese ancestor Fuxi Emperor bowed to heaven and earth in ancient times, realized the laws of heaven and earth, and studied its own principles. Although there are only a few eight hexagrams, it has contained all the changes and rules between heaven and earth. Law.

The reason why Wang Qi knows something about this is mainly related to the period of time he spent at his grandfather's house when he was a child.

Wang Qi's grandfather is a fortune-telling man in the countryside. Usually, he likes to show people his palms and match the eight characters when he has nothing to do, but he cheats money~~ Oh, no, the scope of business is extremely wide. He not only helps people fortune-telling and look at the days, but also looks at feng shui and cemetery. Although he is a half-baked level, he has been wasted a few times. In the past ten years, it has also accumulated some fame in the local area. Even Grandpa and his father have a lot of respect for him.

Among his nephews, his grandfather's favorite is Wang Qi. The reason is that Wang Qi once saw the appearance and didn't know what to look at it. He actually saw that Wang Qi had the appearance of a king and must be rich and noble in the future. He was so happy that his father slaughtered a few chickens and ducks for him that night and prepared a bottle of national wine Maotai, the most Thank him for his fortune-telling.

Wang Qi has never had a good impression of his unscrupulous grandfather. The main reason is that although his grandfather specializes in fortune-telling, his family is so poor that he can't even calculate his own life. It can be seen that how high is this person's cultivation? However, this is only Wang Qi's inner thought, and his father dares not think so.

In order to make Wang Qi's king's fate shine as soon as possible, his father sent Wang Qi to his grandfather's house in the countryside and made him an apprentice for a year.

And that year became Wang Qi's most boring day. The biggest entertainment was to watch a group of old men practice the slow Taijiquan in the sunset. Wang Qi vaguely still remembers the Yellowstone courtyard planted with big elm and locust trees, which is the place where Wang Qi's grandfather taught him to learn the I Ching. According to his grandfather, the ancient sages taught in this open-air environment, which makes people always be closer to nature and achieve the realm of harmony between heaven and man. .

Wang Qi looked around. The environment of Huangshi Courtyard is indeed quite beautiful. The premise is that if there are not some old men who have nothing to do every day wander around the courtyard and talk and curse while smoking spicy dry smoke, and the crazy old man under the locust tree. Zi patted the trunk of the locust tree, which was called practicing internal strength. It was like a gathering of three-class and nine-rate old men.

In this teaching environment, even if the unscrupulous grandfather keeps boasting that the Book of Changes he is learning is an ancient unique learning thattong tong tong tong tian xia and the universe, Wang Qi will not believe it.

So Wang Qi has never felt that he has learned anything great. He just regards the Book of Changes as a treasure book of law that fools people. Generally speaking, he is only a little good at law L. At least the people who have learned it are just cheating points and will not kill people.

As far as the fact is concerned, Wang Qi's idea is still very correct. Even with his grandfather's fortune-telling, his father still failed to get rich, and Wang Qi, not to mention the king's fate, such as the great wealth and noble, was slapped to death without long achievements.

Therefore, Wang Qi in his previous life only had a cursory understanding of the so-called study of the I Ching and did not make in-depth exploration. Even if he crossed to the Star and Moon Continent, an alien continent where practitioners are rampant, Wang Qi left the I Ching behind, for fear that others would know that they had learned this brain-damaged thing, if not this time Seeing the disappointment in the eyes of the two women, he was a little unbearable, and Wang Qi would never bring this humiliating I Ching to the table.

However, unexpectedly, whether it is a little black who has become crazy and talent, or a little spirit who has lived for many years and is knowledgeable, almost all staring at the gossip map on the ground and falling into bitter thoughts, stunned, motionless like paraffin, like a demon.

Is this really a heavenly book left by Emperor Fuxi!!! But why do I have no feeling at all when I have learned the whole set of I Ching? Not to mention getting any magic power.

Wang Qi did not know that the Book of Changes is respected as the "head of the group scriptures and the source of hundreds of families" in China, which condenses the ancient wisdom of the ancient sages of China. In fact, it is not only the head of the group scriptures, but also the beginning of the Han Book. Yiwenzhi's statement of the "Ijing" is 'three saints, three ancients', that is to say, the completion of the "I Ching" has experienced three saints, namely Fuxi, King Wen of Zhou and Confucius; and Lu's Spring and Autumn, which once quoted Luoyang paper, also called it 'big and small', that is to say, it is too big. There is outside, but not inside. In Chinese history, there is no book that can win this honor, only the Book of Changes at the beginning of the Ten Thousand Classics.

The Book of Changes is easy to learn and difficult to understand. Although it unlocks all the mysteries of the universe, few people can do one in ten thousand of its content. You know, the Book of Changes is change, and its purpose is also to make people follow changes to find laws. This is a bigger problem than the sky. The universe is so big, and its every Time, every moment, is changing. How wide eyes, how wide the vision, and how wise the soul is to put the whole world and the whole universe in his heart.

Perhaps only Fuxi, the ancestor of human beings in China and the ancient god, can reach this step, so Wang Qi learned, but his vision is too low and his heart is too low, so he can't understand the mystery contained in the Book of Changes at all. This is like Einstein proving the theory of quality-energy equivalence E=mc^2, Physics students all over the world are learning his formula, but there are several more people who can create * and use nuclear energy. After all, we can't blame ourselves, but only show that our vision is too low and our heart is too low.

Seeing the serious look of the two women, Wang Qi couldn't help but become serious and no longer regarded it as a kind of perfunctory. After about half an hour, Wang Qi stood up again and added Tai Chi to the hollow gossip map he drew on the ground under the attention of the two women, and And began to explain the gossip on the ground carefully for the two women.

"Taiji gave birth to two instruments, two instruments gave birth to four elephants, and four elephants gave birth to eight trigrams, while the eight trigrams correspond to Qian, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gan and Dui respectively. That is, eight natural phenomena on the star and moon continent: heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, wind, mountains, Ze..."

Wang Qi is not a very good teacher. Of course, he is not a good student, but when he was a child, he still had a good class, but the teacher was his unscrupulous grandfather. Although the environment for learning the Book of Changes is quite bad, after all, his grandfather's decades of cheating career is not covered. Naturally, it is not a problem to deal with Wang Qi, a child who has not grown up.

The vivid stories and wonderful descriptions have made these originally boring courses interesting. Although Wang Qi does not want to admit this, he has not completely forgotten the reason of the I Ching for so many years, which also illustrates this point.

So Wang Qi only needs to repeat his grandfather's teachings in his memory. If his unscrupulous grandfather sees two such beautiful women and listens carefully to the knowledge he teaches, I'm afraid his unscrupulous grandfather will have fun in his dreams, but unfortunately he probably won't see such a scene. Unless he can slap people to death like Wang Qi, he happens to travel to the Star and Moon Continent.

However, according to the karma mentioned by the unscrupulous grandfather, even Wang Qi, a good old man who did not violate the law and did not fight in his previous life, was reincarnated as a bat. I'm afraid that an old liar like his unscrupulous grandfather who has been cheated for many years will at least turn into a fly. Wang Qi is quite bad thought.

"Once there was a saint who came to his house. At that time, his disciple was sweeping the floor outside the door and asked him, "Who are you?"

He said proudly, "I'm a disciple of a saint!"

The guest said happily, "That's great. Can I ask you a question?"

The student said happily, "Yes."

So the guest asked, "How many seasons are there in a year?"

Students thought, what kind of problem is this? Now he replied, "Spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Guests are far away: "No, there are only three seasons a year."

"Oh, you're wrong, Four Seasons!" Three seasons!" The two couldn't argue, so they asked the saint to make an evaluation.

After knowing the dispute between the two, the saint did not say a word, but put a fairy spirit on the guest's head, and then said, "Come back next year."

After the guest left, the student asked the saint strangely, "Teacher, there are four seasons in a year. Why don't you tell the guest directly and let him come back next year?"

The saint listened to the student's words and smiled and said, "Don't you see that the man just now is green? He is a dragonfly. The dragonfly was born in spring and died in autumn. He has never seen winter. I gave him a trace of fairy spirit, so that he can know the correct answer next winter.
