"The five arts of metaphysics: mountains, medicine, fortune, divination, and fortune-telling. Shu Mark, Hao Yu,"
In the house on the mountain, Tang Zongbo was sitting in a wheelchair, stroking his beard and talking with a smile. Xia Shao sat under the tree and listened carefully. Today was her first lesson.
"The so-called medicine is Chinese medicine. It includes prescriptions, acupuncture, spiritual therapy, etc. In our lineage, medicine also needs to be learned. You must be proficient in herbs, meridians, and acupuncture points. Master will get you some herbs to make bubbles in the future. Medicinal bath, you will gradually understand it."
Xia Shao nodded.
Tang Zongbo continued: "The so-called fate is numerology. People nowadays pay attention to science, and Master will explain it to you from a scientific perspective. Fate is a method of judging people's destiny based on the magnetic field of time and space. It is similar to statistics. Related. It includes astrology, stems and branches. Our founder of Taoism, Li Chunfeng, is a famous astronomer."
"Yeah." Xia Shao nodded again.
"The so-called divination, divination has the longest history in metaphysics. Both the East and the West have a history of divination. The ancient divination technique in the West is the tarot card that emerged in the Middle Ages. When I was young, I once competed with a Western divination master. As a result, I Better than him." When Tang Zongbo said this, there was inevitably a look of pride in his eyes, but he soon sighed, "It's just that the inheritance of these ancient magic techniques, both in the East and the West, has declined. The successors are very popular. There are few, but there are indeed masters. When you engage in this industry in the future, you will inevitably meet these people, and you will know when the time comes."
Tang Zongbo came back again, "In our Eastern history, most military scientists in the past dynasties were proficient in this art, such as Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Zeng Guofan. Divination evolved from the ancient Zhouyi. Our school, except for Qimen Feng Shui, is the best at it. The most important thing is divination. The "Liu Ren Yin and Yang Jing" was written by our Taoist ancestors. Liu Ren is the oldest category of divination that uses yin and yang and the five elements to predict good and bad luck. Together with Qi Men Dun Jia and Tai Yi Shen Shu, they are collectively known as three types, and It is the first of the three formulas and the most difficult. But the calculation is the most accurate, because it is a kind of statistics with extremely deep information, and the lessons are complex and changeable. Nowadays, in addition to our Xuanmen, all the people in the world who are proficient in Liuren divination , already very few.”
Xia Shao listened carefully and nodded. In her opinion, there is no need to learn divination. She has clairvoyance and her predictions are so accurate that no divination skill can compare with her.
"The so-called phase is divided into human phase and earth phase. Palmistry, face phase, body phase, bone touching, mole phase, etc., all belong to human phase. The real Mahayana of our Taoism is earth phase. The so-called earth phase is Feng Shui! Regardless of it! Whether it is the Yang Zhai Xiangfa or the Yin Zhai Xiangfa, both are Mahayana, bringing luck to people or killing them, all in one thought."
Seeing that Tang Zongbo's expression became serious, Xia Shao held her chin and asked, "Is it really that powerful? Has Master ever killed anyone with Feng Shui?"
Tang Zongbo was stunned for a moment, but his expression already gave Xia Shao the answer. In fact, she was very curious about why Tang Zongbo was recuperating in the village and what kind of past he had, but she suppressed the idea of using the Heavenly Eye. After all, she had accepted the old man as her master. As a sign of respect for her master, she still hoped that one day, he would tell her personally.
"Alas, it's too early to tell you about the past. You just need to remember that the Feng Shui Killing Formation and Qimen Magic are so powerful that few people in the world dare to offend a real Feng Shui master. However, in our industry, Pay attention to the cause and effect of heaven, and do not want to commit murder. But in this world, not everything good and evil are rewarded, and it is difficult for evil people and ghosts to approach. Eliminating evil is to promote good. If you can stand at that height in the future, you will understand Already…”
Tang Zongbo sighed, waved his hand and said, "Master, I won't tell you this anymore. Having said so much, do you know which of the five metaphysical arts is the most difficult?"
Xia Shao thought for a while, "Master hasn't explained 'mountain' yet. What is a mountain? Are mountains the most difficult?"
Tang Zongbo smiled, "Yes! The most difficult thing is the mountain! The mountain is the secret technique of cultivating the mind and body, and it is also the most difficult state to reach. To put it bluntly, it is the Kung Fu of mortals cultivating immortality. Since ancient times, immortality has been practiced. This is what the Taoist people call themselves Shanmen. We Xuanmen have passed down the practice of breathing in and nourishing qi, and some people call it qigong, but it is not comprehensive. In short, only by truly learning to breathe in and nourish qi can we communicate the vitality of heaven and earth and distribute it. If you create a real Feng Shui formation, you are an authentic Feng Shui master, and it is definitely not comparable to some magic tricks in the world."
Xia Shao originally wanted to laugh when she heard the word "cultivate immortality", but the more she heard it, the less she could laugh. Because she had heard of qigong, and she could see the vitality of heaven and earth with her heavenly eyes. In other words, the breathing and nourishing qi, cultivating immortality and Taoism mentioned by the master definitely existed, but such people were extremely rare now.
Xia Shao felt like she was in another life. In her previous life, she was busy looking for a job after graduating from college. She worked hard in the company for seven years and became a busy member of the first-tier cities. She never thought that there were such a group of people in the world. people
Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to be far away from her previous life, but she had only been reborn for more than half a month.
Xia Shao raised her head and looked at the sky through the sparse branches and leaves above her head. She knew that in this life, her life trajectory would inevitably undergo a big change...
After coming back to her senses, Xia Shao couldn't help but take a look at Tang Zongbo. Although the old man had gray hair, his face was rosy. Even in his sixties, he had no wrinkles on his face and was quite cheerful. I heard that the Taoist method of nourishing Qi can prolong life, and it seems really good.
"Haha, okay, okay. I've told you so much all at once, and I don't know if you can remember it. Don't worry, master will first teach you how to breathe and nourish Qi."
Xia Shao nodded and began to study carefully.
After that day, Xia Shao ran up the mountain every day. Although Xia Guoxi couldn't stand it, he couldn't object because of Professor Zhou's great principles that day. Anyway, the granddaughter was staying at home, and he was minding his own business watching TV and listening to the radio. He didn't have much to say to his granddaughter, so he simply turned a blind eye and let her go. Jiang Shuhui, on the other hand, felt sorry for her granddaughter, always nagging her to be careful not to fall when going up and down the mountain. She even murmured in her heart, wondering what on earth attracted her to the mountain and made her get up early every day and run up the mountain.
Naturally, the two old men didn't know that since they went up the mountain to practice martial arts and nourish their Qi, Xia Shao was undergoing transformation every moment...
During this period, the matter of transferring to another school was also settled. The winter vacation was over and Xia Shao started school.
