Chapter 443: The sense of accomplishment that has been proven through divination and the punishment of spying on the secrets of heaven
After finishing his lunch, Guan Ke continued to play with the ancient tortoise shell used for divination, and said rather unwillingly: "It is impossible for me to calculate wrong. I have always made perfect calculations for so many years. How could it be possible that I calculated wrong this time?
"
At this moment, Guan Ke, who was in a quiet room on the Tower View Road in Zhongnan Mountain, eight hundred miles away from Luoyang, was saying to himself,
Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, Difei Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Zhounan Mountain, referred to as Nanshan, is located in the middle section of the Qinling Mountains in Yongzhou, south of Chang'an City. It is the birthplace of allusions such as "Shoubi Nanshan" and "Zhongnan Shortcut".
An important geographical indication in Guanzhong.
Zhongnan Mountain has been regarded as one of the birthplaces of Taoism since ancient times.
It is said that during the reign of King Kang of Chu, Yin Xi, an astronomer and astrologer, served as the official of Hangu Pass and built a straw tower in Zhongnan Mountain. He climbed the thatched tower every day to watch the stars and look at the weather.
One day, he suddenly saw purple air coming from the east and auspicious stars traveling to the west. He had a premonition that a saint would pass through this pass, so he waited in the pass.
Soon an old man dressed in colorful clouds and riding a green ox arrived. It turned out that it was Lao Tzu who traveled westward to Qin.
Yin Xi hurriedly invited Lao Tzu to the tower, performed the disciple ceremony, and asked him to lecture on scriptures and write books.
I taught Yin Xi five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching on the high hill in the south of the building, and then drifted away.
It is said that the sutra-lecturing platform at Louguantai was the place where Laozi lectured.
After the emergence of Taoism, Laozi was respected as the ancestor of Taoism, Yin Xi was regarded as the real person of Wenshi, and the Tao Te Ching was regarded as the fundamental classic. Therefore, Louguan became "the place where Taoism is the most important place in the world."
Regarding the majesty of Zhongnan Mountain, Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty said in "Xijing Fu": "Zhongnan Mountain starts from Kunlun and ends with Songyue. It is magnificent and magnificent. It serves as the southern screen of the city and a huge barrier for Yongliang. It is surrounded by mountains.
The journey is far away, and the valley is too deep to be explored. If something happens in the middle of the pass, we must fight for it in the end?"
Later, "Looking at the Remaining Snow at Zhongnan" used: "The Yin ridge of Zhongnan is beautiful, and the snow is floating in the clouds" to describe the beautiful scenery of Zhongnan Mountain.
It is precisely because the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain is very pleasant in all seasons, and there are many winding paths in the mountain. Finding a secluded place can often truly avoid being disturbed by worldly affairs. This is why Zhongnan Mountain has become a secluded place for countless celebrities in ancient times.
Of course, there are also many people who study hard here and become famous all over the world with their talents after graduation. Among these people are Jiang Shang, Zhang Liang and others.
Guan Ke certainly didn't come here to study or live in seclusion. He came here just to find a quiet place to solve his doubts. Zhongnan Mountain, eight hundred miles away from Luoyang, was an excellent place.
Guan Ke still couldn't find the answer he wanted today. He walked out of the quiet room and came to the highest point of Ziyun Tower, the most attic of Louguan Road. Looking into the distance, he saw the rolling and lush mountains.
The tall and green century-old pine trees are like soldiers holding spears, as if they are protecting the mountains and forests.
Nearby is a dense forest with lush branches and leaves, like big green umbrellas.
In the forest, crested ibises danced, birds flew, and the green grass was dotted with colorful wildflowers, like a colorful carpet covering the earth.
Among the flowers, butterflies flutter and bees gather nectar. From time to time, you will see golden monkeys, Qinling golden takin, rabbits, badgers, and nine-knotted civets running across the grass.
While appreciating the beautiful scenery of nature, you can also feel the exquisite beauty of Zhongnan Mountain, which allows people to find the feeling of the integration of heaven, earth and all things. However, these are not what Guan Ke wants.
The name Zhongnan Mountain first appeared in the early Zhou Dynasty.
The "Zhongnan" chapter in the collection of poems from the Spring and Autumn Period, "The Book of Songs.? Guo Feng? Qin Feng", praises the catalpa trees, nanmu and other trees on Zhongnan Mountain: "Where is Zhongnan? There are rules and plum trees... There are rules.
Youtang" etc.
The "Book of Mountains and Seas" written in the early Qin and Han Dynasties directly called Zhongnan Mountain "Nanshan".
During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang built the Laojun Temple in the south of Lou Guan. During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a palace in the north of Lou Guan.
During the reign of Emperors Wen and Jing, they implemented a policy of recuperation and "advocated the art of Huang Lao". Taoist priests in the Zhongnan Mountains began to create "immortality" medicine through alchemy.
During the Han Dynasty, Shanglin Garden and Kunming Pool were built nearby. During the Western Han Dynasty, not long after Buddhism was introduced to Chang'an, a Buddhist temple, Luohan Temple, was built in Pang Village in Shanhu County, Zhongnan.
Up to now, Louguan Taoism has been formed with Louguan as the center, making Taoism develop into a complete and mature religion.
Looking around from Ziyun Tower, Guan Ke did not have the same sense of detachment from the earthly world as those common hermits and Taoists. He just recalled the sense of accomplishment that he had in the past few years when his divination came true. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
A few years ago, he went to visit Pingyuan Prefect Liu Yi. Liu Pingyuan put the seal bag and pheasant feathers in a container and asked Guan Lu to guess.
Guan Lu said: "The inside is square and the outside is round. The five-color inscription contains treasures and trustworthy words. When it comes out, there is a seal. This is the seal bag. The mountains are steep and steep. There is a bird with a red body and yellow wings. It crows and never misses the morning. This is a pheasant feather."
Liu Yi said: "The government here has strange things happening day after day, which makes people fearful and worried. What is the reason?"
Guan Ren said: "Perhaps because of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers and horses were incessant, and the blood flowed into rivers and soaked the mountains and hills, so many strange shapes appeared at dusk. You are of high moral character and blessed by God. You are willing to appease the people and comply with God's will."
Xu Jilong, the magistrate of Qinghe County, sent people to hunt and asked Guan Ren to calculate what prey he could catch.
Guan Ren said: "We will catch small animals, but they are not birds for food. Although they have claws, they are not sharp. Although the fur is shiny, it is not bright. They are not tigers or pheasants, but foxes."
When the hunter came back at night, it was just as Guan Ren said. Xu Jilong put thirteen kinds of things in the box and called Guan Ren guess.
Guan Ren said: "There are thirteen kinds of things in the box." Then he first guessed the chicken, then the silkworm chrysalis, and then one by one. He just said the tree was a loquat.
Guan Ren was well versed in using divination to observe natural phenomena and speculate on things, and he was all right.
At the beginning, a woman lost a cow and asked Guan Ren to calculate it. Guan Ren said: "Go to the tomb on the east hill and have a look. The cow you lost is lying there hanging in the air."
When I got there, I saw the cow lying hanging in the grave. The woman who lost the cow became suspicious of Guan Ren and reported it to the government.
The government sent someone to check and found out that he had calculated it through divination. Another time, the wife of a man in Luozhong was lost.
Guan Ren asked him to fight with a pig picker at Dongyang Gate. The pig ran out of the pig picker's radish basket and ran into a courtyard, breaking the courtyard wall. A woman came out of the house, who was asking for divination.
man's wife.
Fires broke out one after another in Fan Xuanlong's home in the village where Guan Ren lived. Guan Ren was consulted for divination.
Guan Ren said: "A man wearing a horned scarf is coming from the east driving a black ox. You must let him stay."
Later, as expected, such a man came. Fan Xuanlong asked him to stay at home. The man was in a hurry to leave, but Fan Xuanlong refused to let him go, so he had to stay.
After dark, Fan Xuan and his family did not go into the house to sleep.
The man was afraid that they were plotting to kill him, so he took a nap outside the door of the inner room with a knife in his hand, leaning against the pile of firewood.
Suddenly he saw something spitting fire from its mouth. The man was frightened and hurriedly chopped it to death with a knife. He went to see it and saw that it was a fox.
From then on, there were no more fires in Fan Xuanlong's house.
Another man captured a deer, had it stolen, and went to Guan Ren to figure it out.
Guan Ren told him: "The third house on East Street, when there is no one in their house, dig out the seventh rafter of their house and put the tiles under the rafter. When they eat tomorrow, someone will give the deer to them."
your."
That night the father of the man who stole the deer had a severe headache and came to Guan Ren to divine fortune.
Guan Ren asked him to return the stolen deer, and his father's head pain immediately stopped.
Another time, items were lost inside the government office.
Guan Ren asked them to point to the sky and the earth by the temple gate when people were quiet, and raise their hands in all directions. In the evening, the lost items were indeed back to their original places.
Now that I think about it, what an achievement it is to be able to spy on the secrets of heaven at will. It is a pity that the sense of accomplishment that is now famous all over the world has been destroyed. This may be God's punishment for him to spy on the secrets of heaven.
He also wanted to see the current Cao Shuang. After all, he knew very well that the Cao Shuang ten years ago did not have the ability to change his destiny. But unfortunately, he could not do it now. He could only hide in Zhongnan Mountain first.
