we are just monsters

Chapter 110 Inheritance
"The composition of fate is very complicated. First of all, we must understand what is the fate of heaven, what is the fate of the country, and what is the fate of people. The fate of people depends on the former two. Natural disasters and man-made disasters will ultimately affect each individual."

In the train compartment, Zhou Muqing added knowledge to Zhou Xiaotian in a soft voice.

Zhou Xiaotian will also follow her path, so he is extra serious.

Fortune, luck of man.

To put it bluntly, it is the environment.

The same horoscope, in Zhou Muqing's time, he might have to go to the street to beg for food, block the door of doing business, say good things if he gave something to eat, and curse people if he didn't give it, but now at the beginning of 08, people can't die of starvation if they do anything casually.

At this time, there was no host to explore the store, otherwise Zhou Muqing could give a more vivid example.

Guan Yu is unparalleled in bravery. In modern times, he might be a pork seller or a street gangster. He got into trouble because of fighting, and the hero is useless.

In the prosperous ancient times, the Donghua Gate was christened as honored, and those with extraordinary force in wartime came to the fore. The so-called feng shui turns, it's nothing more than that.

Like the joke about meeting an emperor's life on the street, the old man shouted long live, it's just a joke, now there is no emperor in this version.The fate of prostitutes who are self-serving Xianchi officials and killing promiscuous prostitutes may also simply have more hotel appointments with different people, after all, they are sexually open.

"Only ordinary people can be accurate?"

"Yes."

"What is a layman?" Zhou Xiaotian asked.

"Ordinary people are people who know that smoking is harmful to health, but many people still smoke. They know that drinking alcohol is harmful to their health, but they still drink. If people can do well what they plan, then the master will be unemployed, and they can control their own destiny to a large extent."

Zhou Muqing picked up the instant noodles on the table and handed it to Zhou Xiaotian, who took it.

Now Zhou Xiaotian already knows why Master doesn't allow himself to be a layman.

"People have been affected by the environment since birth, and it also affects the environment at the same time. Your family, friends, teachers, and everything you have been in contact with since childhood are part of the formation of your character. In the end, this character determines half of your destiny.

"Whether it's 'greedy and bad seal' or 'spiritual owl's use', and others, if you think about it carefully, have they all led to a certain personality? Because I didn't realize the importance of reading in my early years, and I was half-hearted. Not self-disciplined enough, so my studies were interrupted..."

"I always feel that you are scolding me." Zhou Xiaotian muttered.

"I'm just giving an example." Zhou Muqing said.

"You can mention others."

Zhou Xiaotian took a breath, took a sip of instant noodles, looked at the braised beef noodles in Zhou Muqing's hand, and passed the bowl over, "Master, try my spicy one."

"It's all your saliva."

Zhou Muqing didn't taste it. Their master and apprentice tasted the same. In fact, there is not much difference between braised in red and spicy. They only put half a packet of flour, and throw away the oil packet. It looks clear and bland, just like boiled in plain water.

At most, Zhou Xiaotian's noodles have a little spicy taste.

After Zhou Muqing finished eating the instant noodles, he sat on the seat and took out an old and thick notebook, which was bought by Zhou Xiaotian when he was six years old. After that, she would write down some examples in it when she set up a stall.

Yuan Shushan has a "Fate Spectrum", which is full of various fates, but most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles. The fortunes of wealthy businessmen are not universal. The book in her hand is full of ordinary people. Ordinary people like masters and apprentices.

Fortune-telling and fortune-telling are two different things. You can't just tell me who can do it and tell me palm reading.

Hexagrams refer to Liuyao, Plum Blossom Yishu, etc., which use the combination of eight trigrams. Qimen Dunjia, Da Liuren, Jinkoujue, etc. are all pan-style, and they are also a type of hexagrams. Just ask questions and wait for the other party to answer.

As for fortune-telling, it refers to horoscopes and Ziwei Doushu. You need to provide the date of birth. Looking at your life, it is different from hexagrams. It is not about how many chickens are raised at home, whether the lost money can be found, whether the business will go well. The odds and ends such as success, the ones that require hexagrams, the number of children, brothers and sisters, family parents, and catastrophes in the past, are fortune-telling. This is the difference between the two.Of course, sometimes the hexagrams can also be used to look at life, but just like 4x4 is equal to 16, using hexagrams to read fate is equivalent to using addition, 4+4+4+4... You can also get the answer, not so special, unless you are only proficient in one subject, Otherwise, everyone will use their strengths.

What both of them have in common is that they both use the five elements of the stems and branches, restrain the growth of the five elements, and use a set of rigorous and systematic logical calculations. Numerology focuses on the word "reason".

Face and palmistry belong to the third category, which is not based on the five elements. Zhou Muqing doesn't know much about it, and Zhou Xiaotian is not interested in it, so he never asked.

At this moment, what Zhou Muqing told Zhou Xiaotian was numerology.

"Fate is essentially human nature. Character determines fate. Changing fate is against human nature. Therefore, only ordinary people's lives can be counted. They can't get rid of human nature. Like an alcoholic facing a bottle of fine wine, even if it hurts, he can't help it. taste."

"Character determines half of fate, what about the other half?"

"The other half is an innocent disaster. He likes to take chances even though he knows the dangers of drunk driving. This is a natural defect of Fate. If something happens sooner or later, it is unavoidable. However, those who are implicated by his drunk driving are innocent disasters. When encountering this, Help if you can." Zhou Mu said calmly, "For the former ones, just persuade them. If you can't help them, even if you avoid them this time, there will be another time. This is human nature."

"Oh!"

Zhou Xiaotian was thoughtful, "How to divide?"

"Destiny comes with flaws, such as a bad body and heavy murder. It is only possible to change your personality from a very early age if you go against human nature. You can't stop drinking until your health is broken. By that point, it's already too late." Zhou Muqing looked at it. Looking at her, "What doesn't exist in fate, what is brought about by fleeting luck is an indiscriminate disaster. If you escape once, you'll be fine."

"I'm an ordinary person." Zhou Xiaotian said.

"You want to change."

Zhou Muqing said that she asked Zhou Xiaotian to study because she hoped that she would change from an early age, break away from her original environment, and change her original cognition.

Birth cannot be chosen, fate can be controlled, but it is difficult.

"This is a disaster without reason." She pointed out the window to the heavy snow, and they were stranded on the railway.

"Tell me more about the innocent disaster." Zhou Xiaotian asked.

"Master didn't teach me." Zhou Muqing shook her head, many things she learned later by herself.

In this small train compartment, the master and the apprentice leaned together, talking in a low voice, and the snow fell heavily outside the window.

This is inheritance, just like when the master took her back then, decades have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the future, Zhou Xiaotian will probably be like her, and continue to pass on this craft.

In the next carriage, three people were also looking at the snowflakes outside the window. Two men and a woman were dressed thickly, and no one noticed. They didn’t eat much on the train that day. Only the woman was eating melon seeds. There is a thick layer of melon seed skin in the plastic bag.

It was separated by a carriage, and this would be the closest Zhou Muqing was to Master in the decades since then.
