1498,"Chang"(1/2)

For example, helping the stall owner to explain the money at the moment can not only save you a meal of wine, but also get a lot of rewards. At the greeting of the stall owner, several chaste people were eager to try, but they were all reserved and did not take the initiative to walk out of the crowd, waiting for the stall owner to come and invite him.

At this time, an elderly man with some age spots on his face and was already quite old, wearing ragged feathered clothes, walked out of the crowd. He snatched the tortoise shell from the stall owner and said to the stall owner: "I'll let you know."

Seeing that he was so old and was just an ordinary chaste man without status, the stall owner was hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether he should ask him to explain the fortune.

But the old man winked at him and whispered in his ear: "I only accept ten coins from you.

The old man is very accurate in divination.”

When the stall owner heard that he had only collected ten shell coins, he looked happy and no longer hesitated, so he asked the old man to explain the divination for himself.

The old man wearing clothes made of bird feathers and animal skins sat on the ground. He looked at the pattern on the tortoise shell - even though Su Wu was far away from that place, he could still see clearly the cracks on the tortoise shell - it was a crossed stroke and a stroke, and from a distance, it looked like the word "evil".

Su Wu thought to himself that the result of the stall owner's divination should be bad.

However, the facts were beyond his expectations—

The old man looked at the tortoise shell with a smile. His fingers smeared the cracks crossed the tortoise shell. Under that stroke, a horizontal line parallel to the tortoise shell appeared. Suddenly, the meaning of the lines on the tortoise shell completely changed!

The cracks artificially created by the old man and the cracks burned out by the previous flames together form the word "Shi".

And some of the patterns of tortoise shells are connected under the character "Shi", which looks like the character "Ji"!

Turn from bad luck into good luck!

But, is it still accurate to explain the word in this way?

Isn't this old man a liar?

Su Wu had a thought in his mind, and saw the old man standing up, and indeed said to the stall owner: "Will someone like this betrayal come to explain the betrayal?

It's the appearance of "auspicious".

The wine you brew must be rich and sweet!”

The stall owner took the tortoise shell handed over by the old man. When he saw that it was indeed as the old man said, there was a word "ji" on the tortoise shell. He was immediately overjoyed and took out nearly twenty shell coins and gave it to the old man.

Then, the stall owner opened the seal of the pottery jar and scooped out a cup of wine to taste. As the old man said, it was rich and sweet!

The old man drank another free wine at the stall owner and walked to the next stall.

He used the same trick again and successfully ordered the second stall owner to hand over the tortoise shell to him to explain the Bu. Su Wu saw that the tortoise shell was shallow and almost nothing. He learned from the same Qu that such a Buxiang often shows that something is dull and there is almost no progress.

It should be above the wine making, which means that the wine made is tasteless - but this is almost a failure.

However, the old man said: "Your wine must be very clear, almost like water, comparable to sweet springs, and must be sweet and mellow!"

The stall owner in the second place was also very happy. He opened the seal and tasted the wine. It was indeed sweet and mellow, exactly the same as what the old man said!

Su Wu was surprised that the old man's calculations were so accurate, and the conclusions were often very different from what the "Zhenren Nuo" Canal around him said, so he ordered Qu to stay where he was and went to the third stall where the old man went. After the old man explained the berries and said that the wine of the third stall must be sweet and rich, he bought a cup of wine from the stall owner to taste it. It was indeed a bit sweet, but it was not much different from the liquor he had drunk before.

The old man's divination is indeed similar to the liquor sold by the stall owner.

Afterwards, he followed the old man to drink the liquor in the fourth, fifth and sixth place. In fact, the quality and smell of the wines in the several places were quite different, but the divine appearances displayed on the tortoise shell often differed in various ways.

The divination results given by the old man are always very similar to those before, and are all auspicious and good ornaments.

Su Wu probably understood from this that the quality of the stall owners brewing wine is only related to their craftsmanship. They all make a living by brewing wine at the gate of this city. Their craftsmanship and brewing skills are quite similar, and the quality of the wine is quite similar, and there is no obvious difference.

The results of their divination before drinking are actually different according to the divination of the real zhen people, and even very different.

So, perhaps divination is actually optional when it comes to brewing wine.

The "factual quality" of wine syrup, but it can affect people's subjective evaluation of wine syrup.

Perhaps divination is deeply related to the quality of wine juice, but the old man who looked ordinary and like a liar was more than a zhen person, reversed the Buxiang without Su Wu's ability to detect it, and then affected the true quality of wine juice.

No matter what, the old man finally walked to the stall where Qu and Su Wu were.

He still explained a good hexagram to the stall owner.

The stall owner happily unsealed the seal. After tasting the wine, he brought a cup of wine to the old man and asked him to taste it for free.

The old man got the reward, looked around with the wine, and then turned his eyes to Su Wu and Sui.

He walked to Su Wu with a wine cup and smiled, sat down on the ground.

"Hello, two friends." The old man smiled sincerely on his face. He raised his wine cup and signaled to the two, "My name is Chang, I am from Zhou. I wonder where you come from?"

Qu heard the sound and looked at Su Wu.

He saw all the divination that the old man had done before, and he was also interested in debating with him at this time. However, when the master was by his side, he would not speak rashly.

"We came from the 'hungry land', my name is Wu. This is my servant, named 'Qu'." Su Wu responded to the old man.

Hunger Land is a large clan near Yindu, and it uses "Zhang" as its clan.

Su Wu did not inform the old man of the truth.

They came from Ge Chang, but the entire Ge Chang clan had already defected to Zhou State. Without knowing the old man's specific identity, he rashly told the truth. Perhaps the other party would learn more about the situation by following the clues, especially the old man's name is "Chang". If the old man's surname is "Ji", then the other party's identity would almost be revealed.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It turns out that it is the Wu and the Que of the Hungry Land.

Let's drink together, noon, gu." The old man picked up the wine cup again, and after drinking half a cup of wine, he sighed intoxicatedly, "The wine is sweet, but not too intoxicating, so it is loved by people.

If it can be more intoxicating, more people who like it will definitely be.

People who live under the gaze of heaven are too painful. With the help of such drinks, people can numb for a while. But reality has never changed anything because of drinking.

Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty prohibited brewing and drinking.

Only after leaving Zhou territory can you secretly drink a cup of wine.”

"People already know the sweetness and intoxication of liquor, so how can they resist it? The ban on liquor in Zhou State can only be prohibited for a while, but it cannot be done forever, right?

Moreover, the common people of Zhou cannot drink it. The nobles of Zhou think they can drink wine in private, right?" Su Wu smiled and asked the old man.

The old man laughed and said, "You see clearly.

Some things can never be completely forbidden, but if the power does not do things that prohibit them, it is the dereliction of duty of the power.

People are originally ignorant and chaotic. Only through education can they be separated from monkeys and beasts, and truly grow into humans."

"How come people are born ignorant and chaotic?" Qu couldn't help but say, "We adhere to the spiritual connotation of heaven and earth, and are born with distinctions from wild beasts.

Acquired education only makes people smarter, and it cannot make people have a fundamental distinction between them and babies."

"Are you born to be able to sacrifice? Do you know how to ask the heaven to do divination?" Zhou native 'Chang' asked Qu.

Qu frowned and shook his head.

"Is it God that made you suddenly know how to sacrifice and become a zhenren?" Chang asked again.

Qu still shook his head.

"Then why do you think that you were born with the spirit of heaven and earth?"

"Because only humans become chaste people, wild beasts like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep have never become priests. Because of this, it means that we are born under the will of heaven." Qu responded naturally.

Zhou Guoren Chang shook his head and laughed, and asked Qu again: "Why did the gods that day look like hundreds of wild beasts at the beginning, but they gradually grow into humans through repeated sacrifices?"

Qu's face froze when he heard this, and he immediately didn't know how to answer Zhou Guorenchang's question.

He frowned his eyebrows, his thoughts flew around, and he was also attracted by this question - Yes, why did the gods in heaven initially have the characteristics of wild animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs, but after repeated sacrifices, they turned into human appearance?

If people were born with the spirit of heaven, humans should also look like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, and they should have the characteristics of various wild animals!

On the contrary, does that mean that the gods of heaven are actually born in the spirit of the people and are gradually educated?

People have transformed the sky?!

This thought flashed out of Qu's mind, and he immediately looked scared by his sudden thought, and did not dare to think further!

The Zhou native opened his voice to express his opinion: "Humans are actually just one of the ten thousand animals in this world, and there is actually nothing unique.

But because of the ‘education’, people are separated from other animals and gradually become different.

Because people are different, geniuses will choose people, and among the crowd, there are Zhenren who specialize in worshiping the sky.

The gods in heaven were no different from humans at first, and they were just one of the thousands of animals in the universe. However, people worshiped them, so they could grow rapidly and gradually pressed on people's heads.

Such offerings are actually a kind of education of man to heaven.

So, I think that there has never been any way of heaven—”

Zhou Guoren Chang turned his eyes to Su Wu, with bright eyes: "Humanity is the way to tolerate everything, what do you think?"

There has never been any heavenly way, there is only one way in the world, that is, the "human way"!

Su Wu was shocked by the words "Chang", and there was also a divine light in his eyes - he has confirmed now that Chang, the Zhou people, was not someone else, but Ji Chang, who was respected as "King Wen of Zhou" in later generations, and the King Wen who evolved into the "King Wen of King Sixty-Four Hexagrams"!

He smiled and looked at "Chang" and said, "So you are divining and explaining divination for the wine stall owners, in fact, to educate them?"

What is a Bu Xiang? It actually never matters.

What is important is this diviner, this instructor?"

"Although heaven is powerful and controls the authority of the world and makes everyone in the world surrender to it, it is only powerful, and its consciousness is still as ignorant as a wild beast and as chaos as a child. It cannot take care of many aspects of the world and cannot be fully mastered." Chang said with a smile, "We have taught the heaven today, but it tries to completely control us and use us for food. It can be seen that the nature of "Heaven" is evil and cannot be changed after education.

Therefore, we must take the initiative to master those aspects that God cannot even take into account, and use our education to replace God’s control over the world.

But now people believe too deeply in the sky and it is actually impossible to replace it immediately.

Therefore, we need to use the name of the sky to gradually erode the sky's control over the world, and finally make everything easier.
