Chapter 1 Plum blossoms are easy to count
"Yi Xingchen, please help me figure out the fortunes. I am chasing a boy from another class. Will he and I develop?"
In the classroom of the senior high school, while resting during class, several boys and girls surrounded Yi Xingchen's desk. A girl with a few freckles on her face said to Yi Xingchen with excitement.
Yi Xingchen is a senior high school student. He has liked to read some fortune-telling books since he was a child. He learns to tell fortunes for others when he has nothing to do. His classmates also like to surround him in his spare time and ask him to tell fortunes.
Yi Xingchen took the paper and pen and said, "Okay, tell me your birth date."
The girl talked about the birth date and eight characters. While Yi Xingchen drew the hexagram on the paper, he said: "Use your birth date and eight characters plus the current time, you can start the hexagram. The upper hexagram is the Dui hexagram, and the lower hexagram is the Kan hexagram. This hexagram is called the Zeshui Qian hexagram. The moving line is in the second line. The original hexagram is drawn, and the hexagram is used, the two mutual hexagrams and the changing hexagrams are. Oh, that's it."
Yi Xingchen pointed to the five hexagrams drawn on the paper with a pen and explained: "The first one is called the 'body hexagram', which represents you, the Dui hexagram, which belongs to metal; the second one is called the 'your hexagram', which represents that boy, the Kan hexagram, which belongs to water. Metal produces water, which means that you are pursuing him, but he does not give you any more words."
The boys and girls around were laughing. The fortune teller blushed and stared at Yi Xingchen: "Who said that? He liked me!"
A girl next to her smiled and said, "Okay, don't put gilds on your face. I know you have handed me a note three times, but I haven't replied to you one. Hehe, - Yi Xingchen is quite accurate."
Yi Xingchen was a little proud, but in fact, this was calculated by him using common sense: Since the fortune teller said that she was chasing a boy, and asked if they had developed any development? That is to say, the other party has not liked her yet, so she was worried and wanted to ask questions. If the man also liked her, the two of them would have been dating long ago. Even if she wanted to come to divine, she would only ask them whether they would last long in the future and whether they would get married. Since she didn't ask that, she asked if there was a chance to develop, which means that she had not decided to have a romantic relationship. It is very likely that she was unrequited and had a hot head. Because she had no idea, she came to ask for divination.
Yi Xingchen is good at observing words and expressions, and can hear information related to fortune telling and asking questions from other people's words. Therefore, his fortune telling is somewhat accurate. However, it is mostly because he draws it from other people's words.
The fortune teller turned a blind eye to the girl who revealed her shortcomings: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" He turned around and blushed and said to Yi Xingchen: "You continue to say, is it possible for me and him?"
Yi Xingchen looked at the hexagram on the paper, pretended to pinch his fingers with his left hand, and said in his mouth that "wood, fire, earth, metal and water, Qian, Dui, two, three, and four", and seemed to be calculating something.
After a while, he shook his head and said in a long tone, "The original hexagram of this hexagram is called Zeshuikuan, and the changing line is in the second line. In the Book of Changes, the line of Zeshuikuan is written as follows: 'Do not trapped in wine and food, and the red pot comes, and use the sacrifice to sacrifice, conquer evil, and no blame'. The Book of Changes: Xiangchuan further explains: 'Nine two, trapped in wine and food, and there is a celebration in it.'"
The girl looked at each other with the onlookers, dazed and didn't know what she said, but her face was full of awe.
Because Yi Xingchen likes to tell fortunes, he has already memorized the "Book of Changes" well. When telling fortunes, he can make people feel mysterious and increase his confidence in his fortunes. Now that he has received the effect, he is very happy and shook his head again, then he continued: "The meaning of this sentence means that there will be a big happy event between you and him, which will make you happy to hold a banquet to celebrate, and eat it to the point of being uncomfortable even when you have a stomachache, haha."
"Ah? Then I have a chance with him?" the girl asked in surprise.
"Of course, look at your hexagram. This change of hexagram represents your result. The change of hexagram is the Kun hexagram belongs to earth, which represents your body hexagram Dui hexagram belongs to metal. Earth produces metal, which means great luck. - Congratulations, you will definitely be successful in dating!"
"Really?" the girl leaned over and stared at him excitedly, "You are not allowed to coax me!"
"Of course it's true, but don't be happy first. Although you will eventually be together, there will be many twists and turns in the middle. Because the two mutual hexagrams representing your dating process are not very good. The first mutual hexagram is Li hexagram belongs to fire. Fire overcomes metal, which means that you are pursuing him hard, but he doesn't like you at all, is not moved by your true feelings, and will not be merciful at all, and will even get angry with you, and will say you hate you, tell you not to bother him, and you will be very unpleasant about it. You must be mentally prepared."
The fortune teller was stunned, opened his mouth wide and looked at Yi Xingchen: "Then... what happened later?"
"After your unremitting efforts and your shameless lingering, he finally changed his mind and got along with you. - Look, the Shangmu Gua is Xun Gua belongs to wood, and metal overcomes wood, which means that you have conquered his fortress in the end, but you will pursue it very tiredly, give a lot, and feel very hurt. Fortunately, you have a happy ending. The prince and the princess finally live together without shame."
Hahaha!
The boys and girls onlookers all laughed.
The girl who was telling fortune-telling face turned red and white, biting her lips, snorting her nostrils, looking at Yi Xingchen with her peach blossom eyes: "Is your fortune accurate?"
A girl next to her said, "He tells fortunes very accurately. Last time I asked him to calculate whether I could pass the exam. He forgot it and said he could pass it barely. Sure enough, I scored 62 points. Very accurate!"
"Really?" Several students widened their eyes.
The fortune teller said, "Since you have calculated accurately, then tell me, what does the boy I like look like?"
Yi Xingchen smiled and thought it was hard to calculate. He pointed to the hexagram on the paper and said, "His hexagram is the Kan hexagram. The Kan hexagram means a middle-aged man. He has a medium figure, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin..."
"Yes, right, that's right!" The girl who was stolen nodded excitedly, and her freckles on her face became much brighter.
Yi Xingchen continued: "Kan hexagram belongs to water. At the same time, there are yang lines in the middle of the Kan hexagram and two yin lines on the outside, which prove that he is soft on the outside and hard on the inside. It gives people the feeling of being elegant and gentle on the person, especially for girls. However, in fact, he is very independent in his heart and is absolutely not vague about things he doesn't like. Don't force him to accept things he doesn't like."
"It's right!" The girl who was stolen looked at Yi Xingchen with admiration, "He is very handsome, cool, and gentle, especially his eyes with a faint sadness, which is fascinating!" The girl with freckles held her hands on her chest and looked up at the ceiling, as if she was looking at the boy who fascinated him, looking like a stoic. "He is really opinionated. He doesn't like those girls who chase him, but he doesn't like it, and it's useless to say anyone. - The divination you're calculating is really accurate!"
"Of course!" Yi Xingchen said proudly: "Tell you, I know a lot of ways to tell fortunes. The one I tell fortunes for you now is called 'Plum Blossom Yishu', abbreviated as 'Plum Xinyi'. It is the most famous Yixue immortal master Shao Yong, founded in the Song Dynasty based on the principles of the Zhouyi. It can be said that it is the most accurate of all fortune-telling methods."
Yi Xingchen glanced at the classmates who were surrounded by shock and awe, and then said mysteriously: "Do you know why this method of fortune-telling is called Plum Blossom Yishu? According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, one day, Master Shao Yong went to the plum garden to appreciate the plum blossoms. When he saw two sparrows quarreling on the plum tree branch, he calculated the divination and said that the next night a woman would come to pick plum blossoms. The gardener mistakenly thought it was a thief to chase him. The woman fell down in panic and injured her knees. The next night this thing happened. As a result, Master Shao Yong was famous, and people called his fortune-telling method Plum Blossom Yishu."
Several students nodded frequently: "I heard you say that, the number of Plum Blossom Yi should be very accurate."
