Chapter 5 Magical Trigrams
Chapter 5 Magical Hexagram
Then, Yi Xingchen placed the wooden box, opened it, took out a plate, a small bowl of white rice with full grains, and placed it on the lid of the wooden box.
This small bowl of crystal white rice is used to divine divination. This is a popular method of divination of plum blossoms in the Ming Dynasty, called "玉玉玉". Because rice grows in the ground, nourished by the sunshine, rain and dew in the sky, and is also the main food for people, rice is the best spiritual object connecting the three talents of heaven, earth and man. When used to divine divination, the hexagram will be very effective.
This small bowl of white rice is carefully selected and is specially used for divination. Even when they are hungry, they will not eat it.
After setting up the stall, Yi Xingchen and his master Gongsun He sat on a long bench together, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, waiting for someone to come and tell fortunes.
Although he had inherited the memory of the dead apprentice and had related information about the entire ancient times from rural areas to towns, he was still curiously looking at the living ancient social life on the street.
The place they live in is Tunzhou, which is located between green mountains and green waters. It can be regarded as a prosperous place. The streets in the city are very narrow, and it would be nice to have only two carriages in parallel at most.
There are various stalls and shops on both sides of the road, and most of the people walking on the street are men. You can rarely see young women, some are older women or middle-aged women with children. Occasionally, you can see a few young women, all rural village girls wearing coarse cloth shirts, carrying loads or firewood to the city for sale.
Even such villagers wrapped their heads in a veil and their clothes were wrapped tightly. Where can I see the hot-tempered girl in modern society with her back thighs, ultra-low neckline, snow-white cleavage, or round and slender legs exposed under her miniskirt.
Yi Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the bizarre and beautiful days of modern society were gone forever. The Ming and Qing dynasties were the most intense period of feudal ethics, and it was a dream to get spiritual pleasure from this. Even if you can't even eat and have enough time to do it.
He stared at the pedestrians coming and going on the street and thought about it. His master Gongsun He did not turn his face to look at him, and was still worried about whether his illness would recur. Seeing that his disciple was staring at the people on the street stupidly, his expression seemed to be nothing big, he felt a little relieved.
At this time, a thin middle-aged woman, carrying two cubes of vegetables, quickly walked over from the other side of the street, went to their fortune telling stall, put it down, set up the stall, and then she felt a sweat.
She was shocked when she saw Yi Xingchen sitting on the stool, took two steps back, shrank and said to Gongsun He: "Mr. Gongsun, didn't you say that your apprentice is dead..., no, you are seriously ill and are about to die? Why are you sitting next to you again like someone who is fine? "
Yi Xingchen glanced at her, and the memories told him that this woman was a rural vegetable farmer who often sold vegetables next to their stalls, named Aunt Liu. Because her family is far away from the city, she usually picks vegetables before dawn and goes to the city until noon. After buying vegetables, it is dark and it is considered a miserable person.
Gongsun He was in a good mood and smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, you don't know this. I have already told my disciple the fortune. He will get seriously ill this year. However, if Tianyi Guiren helps him, he will definitely turn bad luck and bring good fortune. So, he died the day before yesterday, but I knew it in my heart, so I waited for him to come back to life. The corpse that had been stopped for two days and two nights, and today, neighbors asked me to bury him quickly, but I decided that he would be resurrected from the dead. As expected, I woke up at noon today and scared those people half to death. Haha, how about it, my fortune is very effective, right? Hahaha!
Aunt Liu stared at Gongsun He with wide eyes, and smacked her thin lips and said, "Is this really the case?"
When she said this, her little eyes looked at Yi Xingchen beside her and looked up and down, as if she was sure whether he was a ghost.
Yi Xingchen looked at her and grinned.
Gongsun He slapped Yi Xingchen on the shoulder with pride and said, "He has been dead for two days. It was already noon today when he woke up. I told him that he would wake up, but he didn't believe it yet. This silly boy."
Yi Xingchen knew in his heart that when he woke up from his corpse, he scared his master Gongsun He so much that he sat on the ground. He did not calculate that he had returned to life. He was obviously using this matter to raise the accuracy of fortune-telling and increase his fame. Of course he would not expose it, so he just smiled dryly and didn't say anything.
Seeing Yi Xingchen's expression, Aunt Liu thought that Gongsun He was telling the truth, and her face was full of admiration and her body became more bent. She smiled and said to Gongsun He: "I said sir, why don't you tell me a fortune? Let's see when my dishes will be sold out today? Can they be sold out? I also want to sell them out early. The sun is short in spring, it's dark early, and the night road on the dark road is very cunning, especially if you have to pass a cemetery. It's best to be able to pass before the sun sets. Can you calculate it for me? But I don't have the money to give you money for the divination, so just treat it as good things and help me."
Today, his only disciple was resurrected from the dead, which made Gongsun He very happy. He was in a happy mood. Anyway, he was fine and said readily: "Okay, Aunt Liu, I'll give you a free divination."
Aunt Liu often sells vegetables next to their stalls and knows the rules of fortune-telling. When she heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly came over and wiped her hand on her lapel twice. Then she squatted down and grabbed a small handful of rice from a small bowl of white rice placed on the wooden box in front of Gongsun He, and placed it in an empty plate next to her. After Gongsun He counted, he poured the rice into the rice bowl and grabbed it again. He grabbed it three times in succession.
Gongsun He counted the number of rice grains she grabbed three times each time, looked up at the sky, and determined the hour. The number of rice grains she grabbed in the first three times was added to divide eight, and got the upper hexagram; the number of rice grains added to the hour and converted to divide eight, and got the lower hexagram. Then talk about the addition of rice grains and hour and divided by six, and the remaining number was determined to determine the moving line, and then the original hexagram was obtained.
Then, he divided the hexagram into five hexagrams, namely the body hexagram representing the diviner, the use hexagram representing the object of the diviner, the lower mutual hexagram and the upper mutual hexagram representing the process, and finally the change hexagram representing the result.
After Gongsun He listed the five hexagrams, he stroked his beard and smiled and said, "The hexagram that represents your body is the Zhenmu hexagram, and the change hexagram that represents the result is the Kanshui hexagram. Water produces wood, which means great luck. Your vegetables will be sold quickly and you can make a fortune. Hehehe."
When Aunt Liu heard this, she opened her mouth and smiled, revealing her yellow teeth, and said, "That's good. Then I can go home early without having to touch the cemetery. If I can make a fortune, I can also buy a piece of maltose for my youngest son. It's great, thank you, thank you."
Yi Xingchen looked around, and he naturally made his own interpretation of the hexagram in his head to make a judgment. From the theory of the Plum Blossom Yi Gua, Master Gongsun He said it correctly. If he interpreted the hexagram by himself, he would also explain it like this.
At this moment, suddenly, a golden light flashed in my mind, and a clear three-dimensional hexagram map appeared!
This hexagram is composed of six hexagrams. On the left is the original hexagram where the upper and lower hexagrams are combined together, followed by the body hexagram, the use hexagram, the lower hexagram, the upper hexagram and the change hexagram representing the result of divination. The whole is gray, but the pattern of the Lihuo hexagram, which represents the divination object, is green and is constantly flashing.
In the memories left by the dead apprentice in his mind, there was no such hexagram picture appeared, and there was no such situation before he traveled through time.
