My years as a fortune teller

The academic development of Taoism is closely related to the social development of ancient China.For example, in the field of philosophy and thought, Taoism's "Tao Te Ching" and "Nan Hua Jing" have an incomparable influence on later generations.

Let's not talk about the Tao Te Ching. The "Nanhua Jing", also known as "Zhuangzi", was written by Zhuangzi during the Warring States period.Later generations collectively called him and Laozi "Lao Zhuang", which had a great influence on the cultural development of Taoism.

Zhuangzi himself is also the inheritor of the Taoist hidden sect and the Miaozhen way.Xuanmiao Dao is also called Xuanzhen School, its full name is Xuanmiao Supreme Zhengzhen Dao.The famous hidden sect of Taoism is also a wonderful work among many schools of Taoism.But nowadays people know less and less, even some Taoist disciples don't know.

This school enshrines the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi Rescue Suffering.Besides, apart from the "Nanhua Jing" and "Tao De Jing", the other classics in the school, such as "Miao Zhen Qing Jing", "Xuan Yuan Tai Gen Jing", "Induction Guihua Jing", etc., are only known to the leaders and successors of the past dynasties.

In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this school reached a peak under the strong promotion of the ancestor Chen Jingyuan.It had a great influence on the formation and development of Zen Buddhism in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the Quanzhen School of Taoism.

Gunpowder, invented in the military because of alchemy, has a more prominent impact on later generations.Secondly, the research and discovery of minerals has also broken through a level.

As for medicine, not to mention, several of the well-known Chinese medicine practitioners in ancient times were not Taoists.Even today's theory of the development of Chinese medicine admits that Chinese medicine comes from Taoism.I won't say much about the rest!

Therefore, the higher the cultivation level of Taoist priests in later generations, the more like a living encyclopedia.No matter what kind of knowledge is known, this has become an alternative in the history of Chinese academic development.But with the development of Taoism in the later period, many people have forgotten this part.

To be honest, I ignored Cui Erye this time until this meeting suddenly appeared outside the far gate.It just occurred to me that it seems that I haven't paid attention to Cui Erye for a long time.

Looking at Second Master Cui, I was stunned, and said motionlessly, "Where did you come from, Second Master? Why do I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time?"

Second Master Cui laughed and walked in and said, "That day I came together with the two masters. Later, Master Shui said that he wanted me to come here to understand some things. I didn't go with them, but I came here to investigate something myself."

"No way!" I turned my head to look at Master and said, "Master, when did you lay down such a foreshadowing. You didn't tell me earlier, I thought that Cui Erye didn't come because he was afraid of trouble?"

The master laughed and said, "After hearing what you said about this place on the phone that day, I discussed it with your uncle. This is definitely not a simple Three Emperors sect, nor is it some trickster. There must be something here. What kind of conspiracy, so I sent your friend here in advance to investigate."

Speaking of this, the master looked at Erye Cui and said, "Let's eat something first, and then you can slowly talk about what you have learned." Erye Cui nodded.

In fact, when Guo Yulin and I went out, Master arranged for Guo Yulin's wife to cook some meals.Everyone didn't eat much just now, so Guo Yulin's wife immediately went to cook.

The farm meal here is very simple, except for millet porridge, it is hot buns and vegetables.And these are also the most suitable for teachers and masters.

As we speak, several dishes are already being cooked in the wood-burning earthen stove.Although it is vegan and very light, but the fragrance is tangy!

I lowered my head and said to Guo Yulin, "Not bad, your wife's craftsmanship is good!" Guo Yulin looked at me proudly.The two eyebrows kept rising!

We lifted the shield into the middle of the yard, and put a stone under the buttocks.Sitting on the ground, chatting while eating dishes.

Guo Yulin's daughter-in-law and his parents-in-law and children ate inside the house.Only Guo Yulin insisted on eating with us, and also wanted to hear more about what we had to say.

It may be because he hardly ate anything just now, so the meal was eaten very quickly.It can be described as wind and clouds.And the food is very clean, even Guo Yulin's wife said that it saves washing time!

After dinner was cleared up, we still sat there.The master asked Cui Erye: "Mr. Cui, what have you found here? When did the Xingtian Temple you mentioned appear?"

Cui Erye wiped his mouth and said: "This is not far from Gansu. Before the Han Dynasty, there was a temple that recorded Xingtian. Later, it was gradually called Mawang Temple. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a man named Liang Shidu here. He raised the banner against the Sui Dynasty. Then he united with the Turks to resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty. When he ruled this area, he built a temple to openly worship Xingtian. I hope to get the protection of this god of war, but in the end it is still in Zhenguan was killed during the year."

Hearing this, I said: "I know Liang Shidu, and I have seen it in Tang history. It seems that this person is one of the twenty stars who descended to earth, and was defeated and killed later."

Master said after listening, "It seems that asking you to read more books is still effective. What you said is correct, and this is the crux of the matter."

The teacher went on to say: "Actually, when we came here, we also had a little understanding of the scriptures here. "Shan Hai Jing. Overseas Western Classics": Xing Tian has competed with the emperor so far, and the emperor cut off his head and buried it in the mountain of Changyang; With the breast as the eyes and the navel as the mouth, Qi Yiwu. His head is hidden in Changyang Mountain. And Changyang Mountain is there. According to some ancient records, Changyang Mountain should be Qiuchi Mountain in Gansu. As for Xing Tian, ​​we can consider him to be a leader of the Di tribe."

"Di people" I said silently, "Master, it seems that the early development of this tribe is in Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan."

The master nodded and said: "Yes, when I was traveling in the early years, I met some people in Sichuan. I cut between my eyebrows when I was young, and then put a black silk bead in the room. When I grow up, I will be far away. It looks like a vertical eye. This is also somewhat similar to the three-eyed man in the Qigu Kingdom recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing."

I nodded and said: "Master means that Xing Tian was originally the leader of the Di people. After being defeated by the Yellow Emperor, his head was buried in Gansu. However, the tribe still built temples to worship and developed in the handover area of ​​Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan. stand up."

The master nodded and said: "The Yellow River Basin is not only the center of the Yellow Emperor's development, but also the source of some myths in ancient times. But all the great gods in ancient times have their original form when you find them yourself."

The master paused and continued: "When the lunatic and I came, the old master told us. We must find out the ancient development here and the worship of various gods. You can see from the shield that we know that this It may have something to do with Xing Tian. Now Mr. Cui brought it back here and did enshrine Xing Tian. Then we can know what Chu Maxian wants to do?"

When I heard this, I still didn't understand and asked: "What can they do? They won't invite Xing Tian down! If that's the case, why should we fight?"

The teacher smiled and said, "You are such an elm-headed person, why are you thinking about Xingtian? I asked you just who said that Xingtian was enshrined?"

"Liang Shidu!" I said helplessly, "But there is nothing special about Liang Shidu, except for the legend that he descended from 28 stars."

"Wrong." Old Zhao head said directly: "We don't have direct evidence for whether he descended from the 28 constellations. But now there is one thing that can be proved. They want to use the Yin soldiers to help?"

"Borrowing Yin soldiers?" I asked wonderingly: "What is borrowing Yin soldiers, and what can they do with borrowing Yin soldiers? Could it be possible to rebel?"

The master smiled and shook his head and said: "Rebellion is not possible, but it is indeed possible to cultivate the way of magic. Don't forget, the magic hall is the highest level of the immortal."

I nodded when I heard this, it turned out that it was for practicing the "magic hall".Thinking of this, I don't know what to do.He just looked at Master foolishly.

The master stood up, clapped his hands and said: "Look at the shield in front of us, a typical five-element reversal shield. This kind of shield can use spells to reverse yin and yang and borrow yin soldiers. But there is one more condition here, the weapon of the yin soldier general .Only this weapon can command the generals of Yin soldiers."

I smiled a few times and said: "Okay, let's continue to look for that knife. I can't do it. It can go to the sky and enter the earth. Besides, since the sword is here, it must be here." Look for it in the cattle pen.

After some searching, we all sat in front of the shield speechlessly.This strange knife.It's really gone.Could it be that it was really discarded, but how can the "Chuma Fairy" be here?

At this time, Guo Yulin's old father came out, looked at us and asked what we were looking for?Guo Yulin talked aside about finding the knife.

The old man laughed and said, "I picked up that knife, but it was still a lump of iron. So I picked it up and sold it as scrap iron!"

Guo Yulin hurriedly asked where it was, the old man pointed to the toilet with a smile, and said with a smile: "Your mother said that the pedal in the toilet is broken, I think it's just a little crack. It just so happens that the knife you mentioned has a few eyes, I It was nailed to it with nails."

Upon hearing this, we almost fainted.The things we were looking for were turned upside down by the old man in the toilet.No wonder we couldn't find "Chu Ma Xian", and we couldn't find it either.

The soil toilets in the countryside are all like this, the same as ours in Zhongnanshan.Inside an earthen house, two wooden planks were laid.Some dig a hole directly in it, and pad a few pieces to turn the head.

In rural areas where there is little water, it is impossible to use water toilets, and manure is a very good fertilizer.Therefore, there are still many earth toilets in northern Shaanxi, and they are all used to accumulate fertilizer.

The teacher came over and patted me and said, "Little fat man, I remember that you are the best at cleaning toilets. Zhongnanshan, you can clean up a lot! Why don't you help me?"

I glared at the teacher and said, "Don't you dare not tear down my platform, and keep telling me these things. Be careful next time I go to Luofu Mountain, there will definitely be a world turned upside down."

The teacher said with a smile: "Welcome to Luofu Mountain. I'm afraid it will be easy for you to go next time, but it will be difficult to come back." He patted my shoulder and squeezed his eyes.

While talking, Guo Yulin covered his mouth and nose, and brought out a wooden plank that was one person tall.There was still some poop on it, and the guy didn't stop turning around and leaving the yard.

As soon as we turned around, we all saw clearly.Behind the board is a piece of metal iron, which is rusty.Although there is no handle, the shape of a knife can still be seen.

Master also saw it, and said to us: "It seems that this knife is the place where the nail is nailed in the middle. It should be a place where gems are inlaid! It seems that the owner of this knife has an extraordinary history."

After I finished listening, I walked slowly to the far door and looked out.Guo Yulin has already cleaned up the wooden boards and is pulling out the nails nailed on them.I originally wanted to help, but I saw that Guo Yulin didn't work all year round.Just let this kid do it alone!

After Guo Yulin pulled out the nail, he washed it twice with water before walking into the yard with the knife.I stepped aside and followed him to where the shield was.

Cui Erye looked at the knife and said: "The shape of this knife is from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It should be the shape of the late Eastern Jin Dynasty. The guard should be a wooden handle, or something like a rhinoceros horn. The positions of the eyes, water The master is right, it should be the place where gems are inlaid." Said, he turned the knife over.

There is no difference between this side and that side, the only change is that there is one more word here.Except for me and Guo Yulin, everyone recognized this word.It is a "beam" character!

We were all stunned when we saw this. Does the word "Liang" mean that this is a weapon that Master Liang has used before?A new mystery is in front of us, and a great war is also in front of us...
