Chapter 125 The Trigram
"Let's have a lesson together. If Mr. Yang can beat me, I will follow him to the south. If he can't win, then he will stay here for a year and teach me martial arts."
Li Chunfeng was overjoyed when he saw Yang Yi let him make the questions.
He was only in his twenties at this time. Although he had been following Yuan Tiangang for a long time to practice Taoism, the young man's fighting spirit was extremely strong. Since he was defeated by Yang Yi in martial arts, Li Chunfeng has been resentful, but he had to accept it.
He is a young genius. Since he followed Yuan Tiangang to practice, among his peers, if he is in martial arts, it is difficult for him to have a rival. Today's so-called young masters are basically not caught in his eyes, and even Shi Feixuan from Cihang Jingzhai is not taken seriously by him.
Before meeting Yang Yihe, Li Chunfeng was dissatisfied with anyone.
After seeing Yang Yi, Li Chunfeng now only admires Yang Yi.
He was extremely curious about what Yang Yi learned. Today, he saw Yang Yi wanting to pull him down the mountain. He was so happy that he would not miss this opportunity. He knew Yang Yi's power well. Since Yang Yi asked him to give a question, he naturally had to use his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. He followed Yuan Tiangang for many years and studied the Book of Changes. He was the best at divination. Today, he bet with Yang Yi and competed with Yang Yi on divination.
"Good boy, you're smart!"
Yang Yi laughed: "You actually asked me to divinate? Well, what topic should you use?"
Li Chunfeng was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. His eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "The question is here!"
If others don’t leave the house, they shouted outside the yard: “Who is knocking on the door at night, what should I do?”
A man outside the door shouted, "But is Master Xiao Li? I am a black bull, I want to borrow something for you! I..."
Before the person outside the house finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chunfeng, "Hei Niu, don't say anything to borrow, and wait at the door for a while!"
Li Chunfeng looked at Yang Yi, "Mr. Yang, let's take the topic of borrowing black cows as the topic. Each of us takes a lesson. Whoever says it correctly will win?"
Yang Yi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Good guy, I started the class on the spot. Those who are not proficient in this way cannot do it."
He smiled and said, "Although I have studied the Book of Changes for a while, it is far behind the two of you. But since it is said that it is a bet, if you admit defeat before you start, it will be too shameless. I will try it out and don't laugh at you."
Yang Yi pondered: "I stopped with one click, and then five clicks, and said I was borrowing something."
He stood up and walked around the house, murmured, "A sound belongs to Qian as the upper hexagram, five sound belongs to Xun as the lower hexagram, and one Qian and five Xun as the six numbers, plus the You hour number to get a total of six numbers, and divide it with six, two, six, one and twelve, and get Tianfeng Gui."
He talked to himself and calculated silently. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng both changed their faces when they heard it. The order of calculations and changes in mathematics and physics mentioned by Yang Yi were almost exactly the same as what they thought.
Li Chunfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang, "Teacher, is he so proficient in Yijing?"
Yuan Tiangang frowned and said, "There are many capable people in the world, and those who are good at Yi are definitely not you and me. Mr. Yang is a scholarly person and Chunfeng. You are a bit frivolous in your bet with him!"
Li Chunfeng said: "He may not be able to calculate correctly. If he really calculates correctly, it will be up to the disciple to go down the mountain."
Yuan Tiangang whispered: "Let me listen to how he pushes down."
Yang Yi was still muttering to himself at this time, "The fourth line changes to the Xun Gua, and sees the Chongqian between them. The three stems and two Xun Wood in the hexagram are made of metal and wood. Qian metal is short and Xun Wood is long, so it should be borrowed to borrow an axe!"
He had calculated that he looked at Li Chunfeng and laughed: "The thing that the guy outside the courtyard wants to borrow is an axe!"
Li Chunfeng jumped up with a "ha" sound and said with a smile: "I was scared. I really thought Mr. Yang would push out the real thing."
He smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, you are ready to stay with me for a year!"
Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Yang Yi: "The elder of gold and wood is a weapon. How can the thing this person borrowed is an axe? It should be a hoe."
Yuan Tiangang next to him frowned when he heard Li Chunfeng's explanation of the hexagram, looked at Yang Yi without saying a word.
"How could it be a hoe!"
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "It's obviously an axe. Master Li, you've calculated it wrong!"
Li Chunfeng said unconvincedly: "It's obviously a hoe, how could it be an axe?"
After the two argued for a while, Yuan Tiangang next to him sighed, "I'll invite the black bull, and you'll know it just by asking."
Yang Yi and Li Chunfeng stopped arguing and looked out the door together.
Without hesitation, a black-faced man walked into the yard from outside the door and said to Yuan Tiangang: "Mr. Yuan, I want to borrow an axe to use it, but I don't know if it's convenient?"
Li Chunfeng's face changed color, "Hei Niu, are you borrowing an axe instead of a hoe?"
Hei Niu said: "It's indeed an axe, but a hoe is not needed."
"ah!"
Li Chunfeng said in a daze: "It turns out to be an axe!"
Hei Niu looked at Li Chunfeng with an ugly face and looked at Yuan Tiangang, "Mr. Yuan, what's wrong with Master Li?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "You can't live if you commit a sin! Don't worry about him."
Hei Niu took the axe handed to him by Yuan Tiangang with a confused look on his face, looked at Li Chunfeng for a few glances, and then shook his head and left.
"Teacher, where did I go wrong?"
Li Chunfeng asked Yuan Tiangang: "If you follow the divination, why are there so many differences?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed: "Chunfeng, you are too anxious!"
He looked at Yang Yi, "My disciple is ignorant of divination, which makes the gentleman laugh!"
Yang Yi smiled and said, "I dare not! If we talk about the way of calculation, there is no one in the world who is worse than two wise men. Now Chunfeng is young, I can still suppress him. In another ten years, I will definitely be inferior to him."
Yuan Tiangang said: "Mr. Yang is polite. The little disciple is ignorant and too arrogant. It's better to let him suffer some setbacks."
He called Li Chunfeng in front of him and shouted: "You must be able to understand the truth when you call the hexagram. If you don't know the truth, how can you calculate it accurately?"
"If you use hexagrams, you can be an axe or a hoe; but if you use reason, how can you use a hoe at night? Besides, there is snow today and it will be cold tomorrow, so how can you use a hoe?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed, "It's snowing in March, and the weather is too cold. The axe is used to split the material, ignite the fire to keep warm, and cook. What's the use of a hoe on such a cold night? Chunfeng, you must understand the numbers. The so-called time and geography, all things must be taken into account in order to calculate clearly. You only look at the hexagrams, not the time and time, not the human affairs, how can you calculate accurately?"
Li Chunfeng was sweating in a cold sweat when Yuan Tiangang said, "What the teacher taught me is that my disciple is indeed a little negligent!"
He walked up to Yang Yi, "Mr. Yang, I am willing to accept the loss. Since Chunfeng lost to you, let Mr. Ping deal with it."
Yang Yi laughed, "Very good, my disciple Kou Zhong is short of staff, please follow me to Jiangdu."
