"This is the five-element fortune-telling book. It seems very simple!" Zhang Heng took a thin booklet and after flipping through it for a while, he actually understood the method of fortune-telling.
The year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth each have a certain number, and the weight of the year, month, day, and hour has specific regulations. Just add the weight of the year, month, day, and hour together and follow the "Bone Weighing Song"
One check can determine the fate of this person's life.
The weight of a person is determined by the year of his birth (i.e. Jiazi year, Yichou year, Bingyin year, etc.). The birth month is determined by the month (i.e. first month, February, etc.). The birth day is determined by the number of days (i.e. the beginning of the lunar calendar).
First, second grade, etc.) to determine the weight.
The birth time is determined according to the twelve hours of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.
They are also divided into men and women. The most valuable thing for a woman is seventy-two coins: "This life brings great luck, and you no longer have to worry about hard work. You will have clothing, wealth, and happiness in this life, and you can enjoy the glory in it." The most valuable thing for a man is seventy-two coins:
"It is rare in this world to have such a person, who has accumulated good deeds for ten generations. The purple light in the sky comes to take care of his destiny, and he rules all the people and enjoys peace."
But it is not that the heavier the life, the better. It depends on how to interpret the bone-weighing song. Some of them describe the good and bad luck in life, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, etc., and there are also instructions on how many children will die in the life. The comments are different according to the weight of the life.
It's different. For example, some fortunes don't mention children, marriage, wealth, etc., but they have one thing in common. The lifespan is rated at the end. It's not absolute. Some very good fortunes are not rated. I'm afraid it's the original work.
People can’t even calculate their lifespan.
Zhang Heng roughly browsed through it, and found that those with a life span of eighty years are already considered long-lived, but the book only has a comparison standard of sixty years. It starts in 1826 and ends in 1885. It means a Jiazi year, and the following ones
Jiazi can just sort them according to the beginning. This only proves that this book is very old, and it is actually a book from a hundred years ago.
"Brother Zhang, do you understand?" Zhu Jiuben came over and asked. Tang Chunlin and Yang Donglai were both holding two fortune books and studying them. Those two books were actually handwritten books. Zhang Heng glanced at them and they still had ancient characters. They seemed to be even older.
.
"I probably understand. Please bring me a pen and paper, Master Zhu, so I can calculate how much my life will be." Zhang Heng suddenly said on a whim. As for the pen and ink, it's not that it's not obvious in the book, it's just because it's written on it.
The table was two weeks ago, and he had to calculate the corresponding date, month, day and hour of his birth to get the weight.
Unexpectedly, Master Zhu smiled and said: "It would be unprofessional if the ancients used pen and paper to calculate. Brother Zhang, please report your birth date and I will help you calculate."
Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Okay, I was born on x day, x year, 199x, when I was ugly."
But when he saw Guanzhu Zhu suddenly raise a hand, he quickly picked up his fingers. It was exactly the same as those Feng Shui masters, or he saw his doubts. Zhu Jiuben said while calculating: "One hand has
Five fingers, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger each have three knuckles. The total is twelve knuckles, which is exactly in line with the twelve earthly branches and the twelve zodiac signs. And the twelve months. That is one
A period of sixty years means six reincarnations of the ten Heavenly Stems. If you know the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Zodiac Signs, Months, and the beginning of your birthday, you can calculate it with your fingers. You have the universe in your hands. This universe can also be said to be a perpetual calendar.
, the ancients were not that good at arithmetic, and naturally there were not many mental arithmetic masters. Although pinching the fingers like this is a stupid method, it also makes arithmetic simpler and adds a bit of mystery."
"Yes, let me add it all up to calculate how much it weighs. What? Brother Zhang, your life weighs seven taels, but it is actually the life of an emperor!" Zhu Jiuben looked horrified.
"Ahem~!" Zhang Heng was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. Generally speaking, this superstition is about whether you believe in good or bad. Since it means good luck, of course he is happy, but he said: "Master Zhu, don't be joking. I'm going to read
Universities all go through the back door, so there is no imperial mandate."
Then he used the teleportation technique, "I understand what you mean, Master Zhu. Human fingers are infinitely useful. Nowadays, the months are also calculated based on fist faces. It is stated in the textbooks that one month is older and two months is smaller...,
The baby is eleven months old and the child is twelve months old. Nowadays, some children also use their fingers to count. It turns out that this is because the ancients used their hands to count.
It refers to the tradition of arithmetic." But Zhang Heng didn't know that the magical function of fingers is far more than that. There is also a modern nickname "Five Girls", who is an indispensable confidante for every man. No need to spend money, no need to ask, you need to do it yourself,
She had nothing to ask for but food and clothing, and she was always accompanied by five girls. From then on, the goddess became a passer-by!
At this moment, both Tang Chunlin and Yang Donglai put down the books in their hands. The old man smiled and said: "It seems that what I guessed before was right. This ancient article is very likely to be a divination method, and this one has been handed down so far.
The real original author of the Five Elements Fortune Book is actually Yuan Tiangang, a famous astrological forecaster in the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Tiangang was from Rongcheng, and he has some connection with Zhuge Kongming. Many people may mention Yuan Tiangang.
I have never heard of it, but when it comes to his "Tui Bei Tu", he is famous. But why do modern people say that the Five Elements Book of Destiny was written by Kong Ming? The answer should be that Yuan Tiangang learned from Kong Ming's theory, or got it
If we know the inheritance of Kong Ming, then we can boldly guess that this Zhongdingwen is the source of the Five Elements Book of Fate. We just don’t know how much Kong Ming understood and how much Yuan Tiangang passed on."
Zhang Heng's head is getting bigger again, so there's no need to make it so complicated. These big guys are all dead, and no one knows their true deeds back then. This inference has no historical basis. He is determined to mainly destroy the old man.
Just explain and nod in agreement. Finish the work earlier so as to get to the earlier time. It's almost nine o'clock now, and he has to leave for the airport with Ying Long before eleven o'clock.
"Yes, what Mr. Tang said makes sense, and I think so too." Zhang Heng agreed with the expression of someone who had learned something after deep thought.
But he forgot that too much talk leads to mistakes. The old man looked even happier and asked: "The answer you guessed coincides with mine. Tell me what you base it on."
Inferred?"
When Zhang Heng heard this, he wanted to make a big mouth out of himself. Didn't he dig a hole and bury himself? In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "The five elements are destiny, and the last two words are in the book."
It is reflected inside, but the five elements are not. I often
I heard the old man mention metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But there is no inference based on the Five Elements in the book, and last time we analyzed the word water in the 108-character ancient text. I boldly guess that even if this fortune-telling book is based on ancient characters
And derived from it. But it is definitely not completely cracked and complete.”
"Wonderful, little friend, you are such a talented person. Even I didn't expect this. You can't be wrong. This should be the case. Now we should find a way to figure out who is metal, wood and fire and earth. Jiuben, what are you doing now?
Go get some more books on the Five Elements, and I will study it with Zhang Xiaoyou tonight." Tang Chunlin said happily. His face was extremely excited, as if he planned to work all night to crack it.
Zhang Heng was dumbfounded. Is this okay? Why did every nonsense he said turn out to be witty words to the old man? If the old man didn't deliberately praise him, it means that he really has the talent to translate ancient texts, but is this possible?
Oh my God, why are you asking a person whose Chinese proficiency has never exceeded 80 points since he was a child to translate ancient Chinese that even masters can't decipher? Why don't you be so cruel!
Half an hour later, Zhang Heng yawned repeatedly while looking at the Feng Shui and fortune-telling books that were higher than others. As a result, Yang Donglai and Zhu Jiuben were getting better and better. Needless to say, Mr. Tang was not even as energetic as a young man.
superior.
He didn't know that Yang Donglai had a relationship, and it would be a good thing to spend more time with the old man. Not to mention just reading about laying the foundation. Even going to the construction site to move bricks, he could persevere with a smile on his face. Zhu Jiuben was immersed in Zhuge Liang's records, hoping
Find clues to win the teacher's favor. His biggest wish in this life is that the teacher can accept him as a formal disciple, and he will naturally perform well.
This is really painful for Zhang Heng. He didn't say that he had something to go to the airport in the evening, but the old man said that he would send someone to take him there after eleven o'clock. He would come back when he was done, so he didn't have to drive, so he could rest for a while on the road.
, come back and continue working, because he is the main decipherer, and it is impossible to do without him.
This is a tragedy for Zhang Heng. One is a master who always gives him face, the other is the president of the university who takes great care to ensure that he can get a doctorate, and there is also the master Zhu who never forgets to give him some tea even when he is busy reading classics.
The three of them were all very generous, and they would not hit the smiling man with their hands. In addition, all three of them were older than him, so the old man could bear it, so it was hard for him to just walk away.
An hour later, Zhang Heng was flipping through the pages of the book in a daze, his upper and lower eyelids beginning to fight. He was holding a "Main Clothing Divine Appearance" in his hand. This book was much more complicated than a fortune-telling book, and he couldn't understand it at all.
"Ahem~!" Zhu Jiuben pretended to cough next to him.
Zhang Heng suddenly woke up and cheered up. Fortunately, he turned to the palm chapter in Mai Shen Xiang. He simply hypnotized himself and started studying palmistry. Then he picked the eyes chapter and eyebrow chapter that he found interesting to study.
Just to pass the time.
Then he picked up a "Book of Three Lives" that was somewhat related to the book of fortune-telling. The book's opening was quite domineering: "Ask about the causes of past lives, the origin of conception, the fortune of this life, marriage, the number of children, the fate of brothers, the king of hell is destined to live a long life, and the next life will be entrusted to him.
change!"
But it was even more complicated. After half an hour, Zhang Heng couldn't stand it anymore. He could no longer care about his image. He changed from sitting to lying down, lying on his back on the wooden board, and the book in his hand turned into "Twenty-Four Mountains and Dragon Luck".
, this is a book about exploring the dragon's lair. It only takes five minutes.
After being defeated, what greedy wolf, seven kills, and broken military destiny gave him a big headache. Then he read Tianwen, Yi Jing, Zhou Gong's Interpretation of Dreams, Entering the Earth's Eye, Eight Houses Mirror, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Hou Tu Xin Shuo, etc.
, I finally ran out of time, and I forgot all about what I just saw.
"Oh, it's almost time, Mr. Tang, I'll take my leave then!" Zhang Heng seemed to suddenly remember. In fact, he would check his watch every few minutes, and the days seemed like years.
"Haha, I will send someone to take you there right now. Do you have any new discoveries?" Tang Chunlin said cheerfully, with no other emotions visible.
Zhang Heng wanted to refuse, but he thought there was no way he could escape and he would definitely have to come back later, so he simply took a rest in the car. His body was fine, but his mind couldn't handle it. Reading these Feng Shui books is harder than reading Chinese textbooks.
It was a thousand times more mysterious, and it made him dizzy.
Ten minutes later, the car was on the road to the airport. He actually fell asleep in the back seat. Even with his strong mental strength, he couldn't hold it back. The consumption was really big. He actually dreamed, dreaming about many weird things...
