Chapter 344 I fell into the trap of heaven!
"Xiu Chang, this is your first time trying divination. Start with the basics and practice calculating some daily trivial matters." Chen Changsheng suggested.
Li Xiu Chang nodded, not relying on his long life to be stubborn.
"Then calculate when the next rain will fall."
To calculate divination, first determine the content to be calculated, and then choose the method of divination accordingly.
"This time, choose divination."
Divination is used for small matters, and divination is used for big matters.
Divination is very suitable for daily trivial matters such as calculating the weather.
The so-called divination method is actually divided into several types. One of the commonly used methods is to predict the future by throwing yarrow and according to its arrangement or changes.
Yarrow can also be replaced by other things such as bamboo sticks.
Li Xiu Chang did not act arrogantly for the first time to calculate divination. He honestly took out the yarrow prepared in advance and took out fifty pieces.
One of them was not used and was put aside.
The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine.
He threw up a handful of yarrow and watched them fall.
When all the yarrows fell, they could interpret the hexagram according to their arrangement and get the answer they wanted.
But...
What shocked the senior brothers present was that the forty-nine yarrows fell one by one, arranged neatly, and laid out like a carpet...
What kind of hexagram can this be?
"What's going on? Is this because the Heavenly Dao doesn't buy it?" Zhang Wanzhi said happily. "Xiuchang, is your fate with the Heavenly Dao fake?"
Li Xiuchang was also a little confused. His fate with the Heavenly Dao was all obtained by the three Dao ancestors.
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao has turned its back on him now?
"You thief Heaven, you have eaten so many tributes from me, and now you turn your face and deny it?"
Li Xiuchang couldn't bear this loss, so he immediately prepared to bring out the three Dao ancestors to make the decision for him.
Gui Wuyan glanced at the neatly arranged yarrows on the ground, and words appeared above his head:
"It's not like fate is fake. Ordinary people who are not recognized by the heaven will throw yarrows, which will be a mess at most. They can't interpret any hexagrams, but they will not be arranged neatly like now.
"It is obvious that Xiuchang has been specially cared for. No matter who comes, it is impossible to arrange them so neatly naturally."
The other brothers thought carefully and realized that this was the truth. They asked: "Xiuchang, is there any hidden story behind your fate that burned out in an instant with three incense sticks?"
Li Xiuchang did not hide it and told him about the three great Taoist ancestors pleading for him.
"Can it be like this? ”
The brothers all felt their eyes were opened, they had never heard of such a thing.
The key is that it worked!
Zhang Wanzhi joked: "If that's the case, then it can be explained. Originally, Heaven didn't recognize you, but it couldn't resist the efforts of the three Dao ancestors, so it let you go. Now the three Dao ancestors are gone, no one supports you, Heaven is making things difficult for you."
Li Xiuchang felt that this was the situation, and said: "I plan to tell a fortune in front of the three Dao ancestors."
He was just telling the weather, but Heaven didn't give him face.
How can he practice and learn the art of fortune telling smoothly in the future?
Brother Gui waved his hand, signaling Li Xiuchang to stay calm, and words appeared above his head: "Try another fortune telling method, you can try dream divination."
"Dream divination? "
Li Xiuchang was stunned. Dream divination is a kind of divination method that few low-level divination masters dare to use, and high-level divination masters rarely use it.
However, it is also a divination method that tests the "fate" with the Heavenly Dao the most.
Unlike the divination method or the money divination method, which uses yarrow and copper coins as tools and media to obtain the secrets of the heaven, the dream divination method is for the divination master to communicate with the Heavenly Dao directly and obtain enlightenment.
In other words, even the intermediate steps are omitted, and the answer is directly asked to the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, this divination method is the simplest, but the invisible threshold is the highest.
It is very likely that the Heavenly Dao is too lazy to pay attention to you.
But those divination geniuses who have a deep fate with the Heavenly Dao occasionally use this divination method, and the effect will be very good.
With the fate between Li Xiuchang and the Heavenly Dao, it stands to reason that using the dream divination method to calculate some small things will definitely be accurate.
But his fate is all obtained by asking for it. If the Heavenly Dao refuses to use the dream divination method to calculate the weather, it means that the Heavenly Dao really does not recognize his sought-for fate.
"Then let's try it. "
Li Xiuchang took out the jade slip of divination and familiarized himself with the process of dream divination again.
Dream divination does not really let the divination master fall asleep and dream, but asks the sky through a ritual, and then closes his eyes, gathers his thoughts, sinks his consciousness into his body, and waits for the revelation of the way of heaven.
If the way of heaven responds to the divination master's question, it will give revelation in a similar way to a dream.
Under the guidance of Senior Brother Gui, Li Xiuchang successfully completed the ceremony of dream divination and asked the sky, asking the same simple question: When will the next rain fall?
Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation, gathering his consciousness, not looking at or thinking about anything, and his consciousness was blank.
Suddenly, a picture appeared in Li Xiuchang's mind.
He was slightly moved, knowing that this was the success of the dream divination method, and the way of heaven gave revelation.
"It seems that the fate that the three Taoist ancestors asked for me still counts. "
Li Xiuchang was happy, but he also paid attention to the revelation from the heaven.
Although it was just a meaningless revelation like predicting the weather, it was his first successful fortune-telling after all, and the novelty made him pay special attention to this revelation.
"Why do I feel like this place is familiar?"
Li Xiuchang only looked at the picture in his mind for less than a second before he felt something was wrong. The place in the picture looked very familiar!
Until the appearance of a wordless tablet made waves in his heart - wasn't this the wordless tablet set up by the Twelve Yashengs?
A wordless tablet appeared on the screen. It was one of the twelve wordless tablets erected by the Twelve Ya Sages in order to suppress the Demonic Corpse of the Confucian Sage.
"No, I asked you about the weather, what did you show me?"
He couldn't see any connection between the wordless monument and the next rainy day.
He had a premonition that something must be wrong with his fortune-telling this time, but he was also curious about what the picture in his mind meant. What information will be provided?
So I continued reading.
In the picture in his mind, a young man walked up to the wordless monument, with vicissitudes of life in his eyes that were inconsistent with his age.
He stretched out his hand and touched the stone tablet lightly, and murmured: "I can't help you as a teacher, and I will make it up to you..."
Then he clenched his palms into fists and suddenly pulled them out. Time suddenly appeared on the stone tablet, and countless mysterious Taoist patterns revealed Confucian props.
With Li Xiuchang's cultivation level and superficial understanding of Confucianism and Taoism, he was originally unable to see the full picture of these Dao patterns, but at this time, with the revelation of the way of heaven, these Dao patterns became clearly visible.
"This is... Confucian Sage!"
Li Xiuchang was horrified in his heart. He was just calculating the weather, so why did he calculate it for the Confucian sage?
What the hell is Tiandao doing!
What a revelation this gives!
At the same time, Li Xiuchang noticed that his lifespan was passing away at a terrifying speed.
He counted it on the Confucian sage. Even Senior Brother Gui may not be able to do this. Can his lifespan not be lost?
In hexagram art, there is a very important concept, which is "level" or "person".
Divining high-level events or high-status people or things will be difficult and costly.
However, levels and personalities must be viewed from two perspectives, one is an objective perspective, and the other is a subjective perspective.
From an objective perspective, Confucian sages, Buddhas, and Taoists are absolutely high-status figures, and everything involving them is also a high-level event.
Not to mention people like Buddha and Taoist ancestors, the Supreme Elders of Xianchen Sect and the neighboring brothers are all objectively high-status figures.
But from a subjective point of view, it varies from person to person.
From Li Xiuchang's point of view, it is true that these big guys are high-status figures, because his own cultivation level is far inferior to them, and his level of hexagram skills has not yet begun.
But from Senior Brother Gui's perspective, it's different.
Senior Brother Gui's cultivation and hexagram skills are all there, so it won't be too difficult for people with a similar cultivation level to him, or even people with a lower cultivation level than him, to predict.
To him, these people are only of high status objectively, not subjectively. They can be divined by relying on superb hexagram skills.
Only big figures with higher cultivation and higher status than him, such as Buddha and Taoist ancestors, would make him completely unable to predict.
The objective personality gap can be made up by the hexagram technique;
The subjective personality gap can only be made up by cultivation.
The greater the difference in personality, the more difficult the calculation. Logically speaking, Li Xiuchang's probability of calculating information related to the Confucian sage is zero.
Let alone trying to figure out the secrets of the Confucian sages, even trying to figure out what the Confucian sages had for breakfast is impossible!
But it happened that Tiandao had a seizure and sent him a confidential video of the Confucian sage!
He couldn't help but forcibly deduct his lifespan!
"I just asked about the weather. Send me the secrets of Confucian sages directly. Have you read the reply?"
You know, basic fortune telling like asking about the weather will not deduct your life span at all.
It's like he just wanted free photos of a female Bodhisattva, but the other party directly sent her a private customized video of a popular actress, and also forcibly deducted the balance from his account.
What is the difference between forced buying and selling and fraud?
"God, are you trying to trick me to death?"
Li Xiuchang cursed in his heart, if he hadn't lived a long life and was tricked, he would have died on the spot.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Tiandao deceived him because of his longevity.
To know the same piece of secret information, the life span that Li Xiuchang needs to pay is hugely different from that of Senior Brother Gui!
The difference in personality between Li Xiuchang and the Confucian Sage may be the difference between the tenth level and the one hundred level, while the difference between the seventy and one hundred levels of Senior Brother Gui may be only.
Therefore, a secret about the Confucian sage, if Senior Brother Gui only has to pay for a hundred years of life, Li Xiuchang may have to pay for ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years of life!
However, Li Xiuchang felt it. Fortunately, he had a long life and his life was not in danger, and he calmed down immediately.
As long as you can't die, no matter how much life you lose, you won't be afraid. You can just take the Wanshou Pill and make up for it later.
Now that the money has been paid, of course he also wants to enjoy this paid video.
Li Xiuchang's memory focused on the pictures in his mind.
The young man who should be a Confucian sage stared at the emerging origins of Confucianism and Taoism for a long time and shook his head slightly:
"This road still doesn't work, that's all. There is no need to resume this Confucianism and Taoism. Spending another lifetime to walk it again will only be a dead end."
"Who's watching?"
At this moment, the young Confucian sage suddenly raised his eyebrows, an extremely sharp cold light burst out from his eyes, and he looked up to the sky.
Those double pupils were meeting Li Xiuchang's eyes!
boom!
Li Xiuchang felt something explode in his head, and his heart trembled with fear, as if he had died once his eyes met.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt that the pressure all over his body was relieved. The coldness in the young saint's eyes faded away, and his face was full of thinking. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to Li Xiuchang:
"I see... I'll give up on this Confucianism and Taoism. Let's stay here and wait for the right person. I'll open a new path and hit the unparalleled one!"
At this point, the picture in my mind suddenly shattered.
Li Xiuchang also woke up with a start.
When he opened his eyes, he found that his neighbor brothers and sisters had surrounded him and were watching him nervously.
"Xiuchang, what's going on with you?"
"We suddenly felt that your vitality was draining away a lot, and it was getting faster and faster. We were afraid that you would die here!"
"Luckily you're awake, otherwise we don't have many life-extending pills on us, and we may not be able to save you..."
Li Xiuchang gritted his teeth: "I fell into Heaven's trick!"
He felt his remaining vitality, and just watched that "short video", which took away at least more than 100,000 years of his life!
Too old!
No matter how long he lives, he can't afford to play like this. Will he still dare to tell fortunes at will in the future?
If he doesn't dare to calculate or practice, how can he improve his hexagram skills?
Under the worried and angry eyes of his senior brothers and sisters, Li Xiuchang recounted what he had just experienced.
Of course, I just talked about my experience and did not mention the contents of the pictures I saw. I just said that they were some extremely high-level secrets.
The secret must not be revealed!
On the first day when Li Xiuchang became a divination master's apprentice, he was deeply aware of the horror of this rule.
Just watching that "short video" cost him more than 100,000 years of life. If he still dared to reveal the secret, he might not know how he would die!
Although he didn't know what revelation Li Xiuchang got, he still heard the senior brothers and sisters marveling at him, but the returning senior brother was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He wrote in black letters above his head: "If Heaven wants to play with me like this, I will die countless times already!!!"
Zhang Wanzhi nodded seriously and said, "It is true that God has shown mercy to you, otherwise you would not be alive today."
Li Xiuchang was also a little scared: "Although this revelation is secret and high enough, it has not yet reached its peak. If I are given some secrets of the ancestors of the three great avenues or the secrets of the shadow world, I am afraid that my life span of hundreds of thousands of years will be lost." Not enough!”
After reading this fortune, Li Xiuchang suffered from severe life-span anxiety. He always felt that he had more than 100,000 years of life and could die suddenly at any time after reading the fortune.
Next, he focused on reviewing the video of the young Confucian sage he had just watched, and quickly summarized some key information.
"Although the scene around the wordless monument in the picture seems familiar, it is very different from what I saw before, so it is not something that happened now or recently. It either happened in the past or in the future!"
"Whether it is the past or the future, it can be seen that the Confucian sage will be reincarnated as he said, but he will not resume the origin of Confucianism and Taoism, but choose to abandon Confucianism and Taoism!"
