Chapter 441: The only time Guan Ren can't predict his fate, let him go
Sun Luban thought for a while and continued: "It's not just because of Mr. Wujiao's deeds in Wei State. When Mr. Wujiao arrived in Jiangdong and had not seen his father,
A very strange thing happened, which is known to many people in Jiangdong. It was when Taoist Wujiao went to Dantu County to visit Xu Zui..."
When Zuo Ci arrived in Dantu County in Soochow, he heard that Dantu had a Taoist man named Xu Dui, so he went to visit him.
There were six or seven guests in front of Xu Zuo's door, and six or seven bullock carts were parked.
The guest lied to Zuo Ci and said that Xu Cui was not at home. Zuo Ci knew that the guest had lied to him, so he left.
After Zuo Ci left, the guests saw the oxcart walking on the tops of the poplar trees. When they climbed up the tree and looked again, they found that the oxcart was gone.
When we got down from the tree, we saw bullock carts moving up the tree again. There were also thorns a foot long growing out of the round holes in the center of the wheels of some bullock carts. They kept cutting them down, but the carts couldn't be pushed.
The guests were shocked and hurried to report to Xu Zuo that an old man who was blind in one eye was visiting. Seeing that he was a common man, we lied to him and said that the owner was not there. After the old man left, the cow and the cart happened.
I don't know what happened to this weird thing.
When Xu Zuoyi heard about it, he said, "Oh, this is Duke Zuo Ci coming to visit me. How can you deceive him? Maybe you can get me back if you hurry up and chase me."
So the guests dispersed and chased Zuo Ci. After catching up with Zuo Ci, they all kowtowed to him to apologize.
Zuo Ci calmed down and asked the guests to go back. When they went back, they saw that the oxen and carts were back to their original state. This strange thing also spread to Sun Quan's ears, which made Sun Quan afraid.
Jian Jia remembered something she heard from her maid a few days ago, and then answered: "My husband can't find Mr. Wujiao, and since the immortal is dead, I know that there is such a strange man in Wei Dynasty.
Last year, someone saw him at the market in Luoyang, helping people read fortunes and tell fortunes, but this year, he went to immortality without knowing where he was. That person is Guan Ren."
When he was eight or nine years old, he liked to look up at the stars. As an adult, he was proficient in the Book of Changes, and was good at divination, fortune-telling, arithmetic, and learning bird songs.
When Guan Ren grew up, he was proficient in the Book of Changes, astronomy and geography, divination and fortune-telling, and Feng Shui, all of which were subtle. However, he had a rough appearance, no majestic appearance, and liked to drink and joke, no matter who he was.
Therefore, the local people liked him very much, but did not respect him. Guan Ren's father was an official in Licao. The three local residents, Guo En brothers, all suffered from diseases and asked Guan Ren to tell their fortunes.
Guan Ren said: "The hexagram says that there is a grave in your home, and there is a woman in it who died unjustly. She is not your aunt, but your uncle. In the past, life was difficult. Someone wanted to get a few liters of rice from her and pushed her into the well.
After she entered the water, she struggled for a while, and the people in the well pushed down a big stone, killing your aunt. Her lonely soul complained to God."
After hearing these words, Guo En cried and confessed.
The wife of Liu Fenglin in Guangping was very ill and had bought a coffin to prepare for the funeral.
It was the first month of the year and Guan Ren was asked to tell fortunes.
After Guan Ren finished the calculation, he said: "Her destiny ends at noon on Xinmao Day in August."
Liu Fenglin didn't believe it, but his wife's illness gradually improved, and she fell ill and died in the autumn. It was just as Guan Ren said.
When Guan Ren went to see Wang Ji, the prefect of Anping, Wang Ji asked him to tell his fortune. Guan Ren said: "A humble woman will give birth to a boy who will be able to walk as soon as he lands on the ground and will die by walking into a pot."
There will be a big snake on the bed with a pen in its mouth. The whole family can visit it and leave soon. Another bird flies into the house and fights with the swallows. The swallows die and the birds fly away. These are three strange things."
Wang Ji was shocked and asked what was going on.
Guan Ren said: "It's just because your home is far away that there are ghosts causing trouble. The little boy can walk when he is born. It's not that he can walk by himself, but Wuji's demon drives him into the stove. The big snake has a pen in its mouth, but it's just an old book.
"The birds and the swallows were fighting, but the old bell fell. This hexagram is just a phenomenon and does not say anything bad. I know it is not a symbol of disaster, so don't worry." Then everything turned out to be okay.
At that time, the female relatives of the Xindu County magistrate's family were fearful for no reason, fell ill one after another, and asked Guan Ren to tell fortunes.
Guan Ren said: "There are two dead men in the west of the north room of your house. One is holding a spear and the other is holding a bow and arrow. Their heads are inside the wall and their feet are outside.
The man holding the spear was in charge of stabbing the head, so the women had a headache and could not lift it up.
The man with the bow and arrow shot at the chest and abdomen, so the women suffered from stomachache and heartache and could not eat.
They traveled around during the day and came to cause trouble at night, frightening the female relatives." So the county magistrate sent people to exhume the bones, and the illnesses of the female relatives at home were all cured.
King Qinghe left the official residence and returned home. Guan Ren went to see him.
Wang Jing said: "There is a strange person recently who is very unpleasant. Please tell me your fortune."
After calculating the hexagram, Guan Ren said: "The auspicious hexagram is not a monster.
In front of your house, there is a stream of light at night, flying into your arms like a swallow, and making a small sound. You feel uneasy, so you untie your clothes as if you still have the light, so you call your wife to see it."
Wang Jing burst into tears and said, "It's exactly the same as what you said." Guan Ren said, "Good luck, this is a sign of promotion, and it will appear soon." Soon, Wang Jing was moved to the county governor.
Cao Shuang thought for a while and said with a smile: "I know the person Jianjia mentioned. On December 28th last year, he was invited by Uncle He Ping to his house to divine the future for Uncle Ping. Unfortunately, his calculations were not accurate.
At the beginning of this year, my uncle Ping was not dead. Perhaps the conversation between Guan Ren and his uncle was known to him. Uncle Ping even refused to let him become a scholar and had people throw him into the street. Now I am afraid that he has already died.
Just leave Luoyang."
In the ninth year of Zhengshi (248), Guan Ren became a scholar.
On December 28, He Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, asked to take charge of the palace. At that time, Deng Yang was also a guest at He Yan's house.
He Yan said to Guan Ren: "I heard that your fortune-telling is wonderful. Please try a divination to see if my official position will be that of San Gong."
Then he asked: "I have dreamed several times recently that a dozen flies landed on my nose, but they refused to fly no matter how hard I tried to swat them away. What is this sign?"
Guan Ren said: "Flying birds are the most humble birds in the world. They eat mulberries in the forest and sing good songs in memory of good people. Besides, my heart is not a grass or tree, so how dare I not keep my loyal words."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Once upon a time, there were eight yuan. The eight kings served Yu Shun and were loyal and dedicated. The Duke of Zhou assisted the king and often worked day and night, so he could pacify all parts of the country and the whole country was peaceful.
These are all things that follow the right path and comply with God's will, and cannot be clarified by divination.
Now you hold great power, occupy a high position, and are as powerful as thunder and lightning, but few people can really appreciate your virtues. Many people are afraid of you, unless you are cautious and benevolent.
The nose belongs to Gen, which is a high mountain in the heaven. If it is high and not dangerous, it can maintain wealth and honor for a long time. Now all the blue flies and bad smells gather on it.
People with high status fall hard.
We cannot but consider the principle that when things reach their extremes, they will inevitably reverse, and when they reach their peak, they will inevitably decline.
Therefore, the mountain on the ground is called Qian, and the thunder in the sky is called Zhuang.
Modesty means that when one gathers too much, one realizes when there is less; strong means that one does not do anything inappropriate.
There is nothing in the world that can harm oneself and benefit others without being loved by everyone, and there is nothing in the world that can do evil without being defeated.
May you recall the meaning of King Wen's Six Yao lines and think about the meaning of Confucius' images.
In this way, you can be an official to the third level, and the blue flies can be driven away."
Deng Yang said: "This is a cliché."
Guan Ren replied: "Old scholars see people who don't study, and people who talk a lot see people who don't talk."
He Yan said: "I'll see you again after the New Year."
Guan Ren returned home and told his uncle what he had said. His uncle blamed him for speaking too directly.
Guan Ren said: "What's so terrible about talking to the dead?" His uncle was very angry and cursed Guan Ren for being arrogant and ridiculous.
Jian Jia said with a slightly red face: "This may be the only time Guan Ren was not sure. Why should my husband mind it too much? Of course, I can ask my consort He to let him go. There is no need to make it too difficult for him."
Cao Shuang smiled bitterly and said: "If his divination really comes true again, then your husband, I and you will not be able to sit here and eat happily. Although my husband doesn't want to embarrass him, Uncle Ping will tease him first.
