Saint Immortal Way

() "Dangdangdang..." The bell rang, the time for the academic competition had officially ended, and the discussion among the Confucian teachers had come to an end. Cao Daoyuan wrote the names of the top three on a piece of paper and handed it to Princess Shouyang.

Princess Shouyang glanced at it. No.2 was the word Lu Yang. She couldn't help smiling: "That's it!"

Seeing this situation, all the Confucian students became nervous. A Confucian teacher stood up and raised his voice, "The Shuyi academy competition is over, everyone is gone. The top three will be announced tomorrow morning!"

The Confucian scholars also knew the rules, and they put their writings in the Shenting with a little disappointment, and then left the Liyan Hall. A lot of Confucian scholars had already gathered outside, most of them came to watch the fun.

"Guess everyone, which three students will enter the top three and be qualified for the state competition?" The Confucian scholars gave the Confucian scholar a look of contempt and dispersed. Lu Jianjia came up to meet him and said with a smile: "Others don't know what to do, but Jian Jia knows that the second brother will definitely be in the top three!" "

"You are the only one who is smart!" Lu Yang laughed and patted his sister on the head.

"Second brother, isn't it like this?" Lu Jianjia raised her face.

"Yes, yes... who is your second brother, there is no reason why he can't be in the top three!" Lu Yang laughed loudly, and led Lu Jianjia back to Chunyang Residence.

Because of the Six Arts Competition, many Confucian scholars asked for leave to prepare for the competition. Lu Yang was no exception. He simply did not attend classes. He only practiced sexually every day, and at the same time accepted the lectures from his teacher Huang Zongxi. These days , benefiting a lot every day.

On the path of practicing the holy way, it is undoubtedly hard to find a good teacher. After all, even an academy is not as good as having a dedicated teacher who teaches students according to their aptitude.

From this point of view, it is indeed a blessing for Lu Yang to be able to worship under Huang Zongxi, a great Confucian. Having a teacher who teaches him carefully will save him at least ten years of groping and struggling.

"Junior Brother, how is the Shuyi Academy today? Can you win the top three?" Huang Daoyun walked into Chunyang Residence and asked Lu Yang.

"I don't know, I guess there is no problem, but it depends on the evaluation of the Confucian teachers. You must know that this is not something we can decide!" Lu Yang shook his head.

"Well, it's true, if the younger brother can win three state competitions in a row, it will wipe out the academy's records for decades!" Huang Daoyun was slightly excited.

Naturally, Lu Yang would not be satisfied with such a record, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, this is just the beginning, look forward to seeing how far I, a boy, can go in this six arts competition!"

"Hehe, junior brother is confident, so that's fine. Today is the sixth day of junior high school, and the ninth day of junior high school is the competition at the School of Mathematical Sciences. I will also participate at that time. I hope junior brother can go all out, and I will also go all out to strive to be shortlisted." Top three!" Huang Daoyun smiled.

"Senior sister, do you know how to compare in the ninth day?"

"I don't know. It is said that the spell competition is the most flexible. The competition is different every year, but it is definitely not guessing!" Huang Daoyun said, Lu Yang nodded, thinking that guessing is too simple, the academy will not hold such a competition, Because it's too embarrassing!

"How about we do a divination?" Lu Yang laughed.

Huang Daoyun raised his brows slightly, and became interested: "That's good!" After saying that, he flipped his hand, and the nine hexagram sticks flew up from the wide sleeves, suspended on the palm, and continued to rise and fall.

Seeing this, Lu Yang shook his hands, and dropped nine red copper Tongbao from his sleeve robe.

Seeing this, Huang Daoyun was slightly surprised. Last time Lu Yang used three Tongbao, but now he uses nine. I don't know what is the key to this?I don't know if the more Tongbao used, the more accurate the spell?

Lu Yang tossed Tongbao three times, got some hexagrams, and muttered in his mouth: "On the ninth day of the first lunar month, at the hour of the morning, the mountains and rivers will shake. Avoid Binghuo, the direction is west, Mujie, dragons and snakes rise from the land..."

Lu Yang shook his head, still unable to figure it out.

"How?" Huang Daoyun was curious. Lu Yang's way of divination with Tongbao is really strange. This is the only one in the dynasty. I don't know where Lu Yang learned it from.

"The competition in the ninth day of junior high school should not be held in the school hall, but in the mountains to the west. The content of the competition is probably inseparable from big trees or lightning. It is estimated that there will be big snakes or earth dragons turning over at that time!" Lu Yang said.

Huang Daoyun looked at the hexagram stick in his hand that had become stable, and a look of surprise flashed in his beautiful eyes: "What kind of divination method is this? Why do you only use Tongbao to throw a few times, junior brother, how did you measure these things?" of?"

"Haha, Senior Sister, you'd better tell me first that you got here!" Lu Yang put away Tongbao.

Huang Daoyun sighed: "Needless to say, I only got one message from Fushi, that is, there will be thunder and rain on the ninth day of the ninth day, and I don't know anything else!"

"Is there only one message for supporting the spirit?" Lu Yang frowned, and asked curiously: "To be honest, what stage is the skill of supporting the spirit for senior sister? I don't know if there is a level of attainment in this technique?"

"Naturally, there are levels. According to the sage, the attainments of spells are divided into four levels. From low to high, they are rough observation, subtlety, detail, and omniscience. It is said that one can gain insight into the past and the future. The ups and downs of the country's fate, knowing the ups and downs of everything. My attainments are only at the stage of rough observation, far from the state of subtlety!"

"Teacher's attainment can reach the subtle level?" Lu Yang's eyes revealed a strange light.

Huang Daoyun shook his head: "I heard from my father that his attainments in algebra are beyond the scope of superficial inspection, and he can only touch the shadows of subtleties, far from being able to enter the room at the level of subtleties!"

"Even a great Confucian like Teacher can touch the threshold of subtleties, so who can reach the level of omniscience in terms of spells?" Lu Yang was surprised.

"I heard that only the sages of the Taidao have reached this level in the past and present, and those who came later did not have such attainments, and the few saints in the present world do not have such attainments!" Huang Daoyun shook his head, yearning for such profound things as spells. , but also helpless.

"The six arts of the holy way seem to be the most difficult and difficult to cultivate! Then look at my situation, if the divination is correct even this time, should my attainments be superficial or subtle?" Lu Yang still didn't quite understand the four stage difference.

"I don't know, I guess it's about the same level as my father's attainments, and I've already touched the threshold of subtleties, but I haven't been able to enter the room!" Huang Daoyun shook his head, she didn't know much about Lu Yang's current skill attainments, but after Zhemei's divination last time, She feels that Lu Yang is the same as Huang Zongxi, and there is not much difference in the attainment of arithmetic!

This is already unbelievable, because with the second level of cultivation of Lu Yang Lixin's Taoism, he can actually compare with a great Confucian like Huang Zongxi, which really subverts the common sense that the higher the Taoism, the higher the attainment of spells.

"Senior Sister, are you confused? My divination technique is a bit strange?" Lu Yang laughed.

"Well, the Taidao sage's technique of supporting the spirit is the only divination method that has been handed down at present. However, according to the ancient books, the Yinxu Dynasty and the ancient and wild ancestor tribes were good at divination with turtle shells or animal bones, but those divination methods are all different. It's been lost!" Huang Daoyun looked at Lu Yang, obviously also somewhat suspicious that Lu Yang had inherited the divination method of the ancient and wild ancestors.

Lu Yang was noncommittal, why can't he tell the other party that his divination method comes from another world? "Senior sister, have you ever heard of Taiji Liangyi, Three Talents and Four Aspects, Five Elements, Seven Politics, Eight Diagrams, and Nine Palaces?"

"The five elements are the five emperors... It seems that I have heard of it before, but what are the eight trigrams and the nine palaces?" Huang Daoyun frowned slightly, and he had never heard of the eight trigrams and the nine palaces.

"Hehe, Miss Teacher, do you know if there is anything in this world that can explain the phenomena of everything in this world? I think there is, and this thing is gossip!"

Lu Yang drew a circle in the air with his hands in front of him, which was completely composed of splendid energy, and then divided into two, the circle divided into two appearances, like two yin and yang fishes constantly rotating in the circle.

"Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, that is, Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two appearances, Yin and Yang combine to give birth to all things! This is the picture of Taiji, which expounds the image of the universe and the image of heaven and earth."

Lu Yang talked eloquently, it is different to have Dao karma, one can follow one's heart, so in just one thought, one can use Qi to control form, showing the figure of Tai Chi.Lu Yang stretched out his finger again, and drew a Qian hexagram on the top of the Taiji diagram. The so-called Qian hexagram is three horizontal lines, representing the sky.

Lu Yang drew eight hexagrams around the Taiji diagram, and then superimposed these eight hexagrams in different order, and extended the second layer of 64 hexagrams outside the circle.

While drawing, Lu Yang pointed to the top Qian hexagram, which is the six horizontal lines, and explained: "The hexagrams are used to describe the image of all things. I use words to explain the image of all things, so it is called image."

"This hanging is the Qian hexagram. This hexagram is stacked with the same hexagram (the lower stem and the upper stem). It symbolizes the sky and refers to the dragon. The dragon is a gentleman of virtue and ability. It also symbolizes pure yang and health, indicating prosperity and strength. The Qian hexagram is According to the principle of flexibility in all things, "Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen" are used as hexagrams to show good luck and wish, and to teach people to abide by the virtues of the way of heaven."

"What are Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen?" Huang Daoyun was moved, what Lu Yang said was very new, absolutely unheard of knowledge.

"Yuan means originality; Heng means enlightenment; Li means harmony; Zhen means steadfastness. Yuan means the beginning or foundation of things; Heng means the growth and growth of things; Li means the quality of things. Creation and harvest; chastity, implying the uprightness and stillness of things, the end of the "process" of development."

"So, it is said that the great Qianyuan, the beginning of all materials, is the unification of the sky. The clouds flow and rain, and the goods are popular. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the six people are formed, and the six dragons are used to control the sky. Together with Taihe, Nai Lizhen. The first concubine, Xianning of all nations."

Lu Yang spoke the hexagrams, the words of the hexagrams are simple and profound, and the images to be expressed are extremely rich, even with the knowledge of Huang Daoyun, he can't understand all of them, but the basic meaning is understood.

After understanding the meaning of this seemingly simple Qian hexagram, which is also the meaning of Liuheng, Huang Daoyun was almost horrified!

Why is there such a reaction?

Because I was too shocked, as Lu Yang said earlier, he set up hexagrams to describe the image of all things.How rich and detailed is the imagery represented by this Qian hexagram?

Each horizontal line represents a state, which can be summed up in four words: Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen.

Huang Daoyun never knew that a simple horizontal line, up to six horizontal lines, would represent such a complex and changing phenomenon of the universe!This is simply unimaginable, and it is more concise than the one hundred and eight hexagrams in the Taidao Fushi technique, but the image expressed is clear.

"From the great to the simple!" Huang Daoyun looked at Qian Gua, and this word suddenly flashed in his mind.In her opinion, in this world, there is nothing more auspicious than what these six horizontal lines represent. The Qian hexagram symbolizes pure yang and health, indicating prosperity and strength.

How much wisdom does it take to condense so many images into a simple hexagram?

What a great expression is this way of explaining the state of everything in the world with hexagrams?How much intelligence does it take to have the ability to reduce complexity to simplicity?
