Chapter 45 Five, "six Yao" divination

Next, Master Ruolan of Fujian came on stage.This old woman over 60 years old is well versed in the art of beautifying her face. Although she is old, she has fair skin. Mrs. Ruolan's forte is "six Yao" divination. The word "Yao" is pronounced "yao", with two tones.Liuyao forecasting is to find three identical copper coins, such as Qianlong Tongbao, put them in the palm of your hand, put your hands together, and think about the thing you want to calculate devoutly in your heart, then shake it back and forth, throw it on the table, and see how much it will be when it is settled. A word faces up, a few flowers face up.Each throw is recorded as a line, repeated six times, and the six lines are born.

One side of the copper coin is a word, and the other side is a flower. Three copper coins are shaken in the hand and thrown on the table. There are four kinds of results: all three are flowers, three are all words, or one flower is two words, One word and two flowers. If all three are flowers or one flower and two characters, use a horizontal line to represent: "—"; if all three are characters or one character and two characters, use two disconnected horizontal lines to represent "- -". If it is shaken six times, the sequence is: three flowers, three characters, one flower with two characters, one character with two flowers, three characters, three flowers.Then, this hexagram is recorded as:

—— (sixth line) - - (fifth line) - - (fourth line) —— (third line) - - (second line) —— (first line) The six lines are arranged from bottom to top, the bottom one is the first line, and the sixth line is on the top. It is said that "the one who counts the past goes along, and the one who knows the coming goes against it".The six-line prediction is to judge based on the hexagrams shaken out and the elements of the five elements. The grandfather explained that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the dynasty, also played with the coin hexagram.It is said that when Zhu Chongba was a monk in the temple, he was very confused about his future, so he found a copper coin to make a divination for himself.He held the copper coin in the palm of his hand, and said to himself: God, please show me the way. If I throw the copper coin and the side with the writing on it lands, I will stay in the monastery as a monk. With one side up, I'll take refuge in others.As a result, God made a huge joke with Zhu Yuanzhang. After the copper coin was thrown out, it rolled around, and finally got stuck in a gap, standing there upright, neither with the words facing up nor the flowers facing up.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.What does it mean?Neither let me seek refuge with others, nor let me become a monk, so let me do it alone?So Lao Zhu really went it alone, and finally ruled the country! After Mrs. Ruolan sat down, she held the dust whisk in her hand and said, "Masters, please enlighten me!" She was graceful and full of aura! A person in the audience stood up, about forty years old, with the hairstyle of the mother of the country, gentle and elegant, it was Mei Xuanzi's wife, Anhui Goddess Gaixia. "I've heard for a long time that Master Ruolan's six-line technique is profound, but I don't know how good the six-line technique can be?"

Master Ruolan looked at Gai Feixian and thought: You are a young man who wants to beat me in the exam? "The law of six lines originates from the method of Dayan divination, Wuji is Taiji, Taiji produces two forms, two forms produce four images, four signs produce eight trigrams, and eight trigrams are wrong to form sixty-four hexagrams. The law of six lines is inherited from the world. The numbers are the way of the heaven and the earth, the great affairs of the king can be predicted at the top, and the small feelings of the people can be predicted at the bottom. Everything in the world can't be excluded." Master Ruolan finished speaking and watched Gai Xia quietly.

"Is it possible to predict whether people will die or not?" Gai Xia asked. "Of course! There is nothing wrong with it!" Master Ruolan said firmly. Gai Xia smiled strangely: "The law of Liuyao originated in Zhou Dynasty and matured in Han Dynasty. It was the master Jingfang in Han Dynasty who really perfected and carried forward it, right?" "Yes." Mrs. Ruolan replied. "The person in Jingfang is extremely clever, he has used the method of Liuyao to the extreme, and he is sure to hit every calculation, which is deeply loved by the emperor. But it is such a Liuyao originator, who did not calculate his own life and death, and was eventually killed by the emperor. I don't know why. Is there a problem with the six-line method, or is there a problem with the level of the former teacher of Jingfang? Besides, how is Master Ruolan compared to Jingfang?” Gai Xia blocked the way for Master Ruolan with a few words.

These are all routines and countermeasures discussed by grandfather and Mei Xuanzi in private. Mrs. Ruolan is really old and cunning, she snorted and said, "Master Jingfang's matter is often treated as a joke by later generations. Techniques have nothing to do with life and death. Some things, even if calculated, can't be avoided. Otherwise, you will encounter life and death disasters." If you can hide in the past, don’t people live forever?” Gai Xia nodded slightly, and said: "Since the ancient sages and sages can calculate it, but they can't hide it, then how can the master use the method of six lines to help people solve disasters, so where does this come from? The master claims to have solved countless disasters over the years, Can you give me an example of the recent disaster relief? Maybe I will be convinced!"

Master Ruolan laughed too much: "A sage makes troubles to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. If you can't solve the disaster, what's the use of it? Some disasters can't be solved, but most of them can still be resolved! Since you want to listen to the example, I might as well give it to you." Tell me a recent example. A few months ago, Wang Wenqing, a famous tea merchant in southern Fujian, came to ask for a test because of the slump in business. Thank you, this matter has caused a sensation in Bamin, your Excellency, just go and investigate!" Gai Xia smiled and said, "It's true, but I don't know how many years the master can take care of once he solves the disaster?"

Mrs. Ruolan said: "The method of Taiji is big without outside, and small without inside. One hexagram can reveal the whole life and the size of a year. What Mr. Wang is looking for is the hexagram of ten years, and I explained it for him." It's a ten-year disaster!" Gai Xia laughed loudly: "Hehe, Shitai Haikou is exaggerating! Either there is something wrong with the six-line method, or there is something wrong with the teacher's technique. Yesterday a tea merchant's tea shop in Fujian caught fire, and thousands of catties of tea were burned. "Shanghai News" The tea merchant registered here is Wang Wenqing, a celebrity from southern Fujian!"

Mrs. Ruolan's complexion suddenly changed. She really didn't know the news, because this time she came to the Japanese-occupied area of ​​Shanghai to participate in the debate meeting, the Japanese side demanded strict secrecy. News from the outside world. Master Ruolan said angrily, "It's a bunch of nonsense!" Gai Xia was not in a hurry, and said: "Before entering the venue just now, I saw a few imperial soldiers reading newspapers, so I borrowed one by the way..." As he spoke, he lifted up the newspaper on the table, "Master, you can read it by yourself. !"

This game was set up by grandfather and Jiang Feiyan together a few months ago.After the grandfather returned to Shanghai from the Japanese palace school, he had a long talk with Jiang Feiyan all night and told Jiang Feiyan the truth.Jiang Feiyan burst into tears in the dark night. She couldn't stop her grandfather, nor could she persuade him to go away with her. In the end, she agreed to help him. "Yue Haitang" and Fujian's "Taiji Gang" have always been very close. My grandfather asked Jiang Feiyan to help find out the recent activities of Mrs. Ruolan. At the critical moment, my grandfather ordered Erbatou to set a fire. Master Lan has come to take a drastic step! Master Ruolan was ashamed, and then she became angry, pointing at Gai Xia's nose and yelling: "It must be your fault!" At this time, Miko Nishida said: "Master Ruolan doesn't have to be like this. Today's debates and exchanges come first, success or failure comes second. As the Chinese say, 'Peace is the most important thing'." Master Ruolan flicked her fly whisk, stepped off the stage, and sat down sullenly.
