Chapter 16 1. Zhou Xuan Divination

There is a great spectacle in Linglong Valley, which is the vast winter fog: between layers of dense forests, white mist rises like waves, rushing and whirling, as if soaking the inside and outside of the valley into a pool of snow. Among the breasts, within five steps, it is like seeing things through a veil, and it is always hazy and unclear. On the wooden plank road leading to Taniguchi, Sima Yi, Fang Ying, Zhou Xuan and Niu Jinzheng walked out talking and laughing.Today they were ordered by Guan Ning to go to the county government office of Luhun County outside the valley to invite the county magistrate to discuss matters in Ziyuan Academy.

"Brother Zhou! This road is so boring! Let everyone listen to your knowledge about divination and reading, so as to relieve boredom." Fang Ying stretched out her sleeve and wiped the hot sweat from her forehead , a layer of blush appeared on her delicate and pink cheeks, "When I heard my classmates talking about you, they all made you so mysterious." Zhou Xuan laughed, turned around and glanced at Fang Ying, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "You, Junior Brother Fang! You have always been so lofty and aloof, and never looked at many students with straight eyes, even in the dormitory. I also occupy a room by myself, and I only stay with your book boy all day... Oh, yes, and Sima Zhongda stays together—why are you talking about me, Mr. Zhou today? Could it be that you want to make fun of me? I?"

"How dare you? How dare you?" Fang Ying covered her mouth with her sleeves and said warmly, "Brother Zhou, you are a master at 'seeing through the good and bad of the world with two eyes, and explaining the good and bad in the world'—if my little brother Dare to make fun of you, if you give my younger brother an ominous sentence, wouldn’t that be younger brother asking for trouble?” "Well... Brother Fang's words are not bad! That foolish brother is showing his shame." Zhou Xuan seemed to be quite pleased after hearing this, touched his forehead with his right hand, thought for a moment, and said to Fang Ying, "However, You have to get someone, something, a strange dream, etc., so that I can start to predict."

Fang Ying nodded slightly, looked around for a while, stretched out her hand and pointed forward quietly at Sima Yi's back.Zhou Xuan nodded lightly when he saw it, and whispered to Fang Ying: "Don't say it—the most subtle part of my knowledge of divination and physiognomy is to secretly observe the true meaning of other people's gestures and gestures." , Only then can you 'be able to recognize its shape and understand its spirit'!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly yelled at Sima Yi who was rushing ahead, "Zhongda!" Sima Yi didn't pay much attention to his sudden yell, just thought he wanted to make fun of himself again, and didn't slow down at all, but turned his head slowly and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's the matter?" When he turned his head, his upper body turned his chest forward, his shoulders didn't move at all, and his head almost turned a semicircle to face Zhou Xuan!

Upon seeing it, Zhou Xuan was stunned: Sima Yi's movement of turning his head and looking back was exactly the image of "the green lion turning its head" described in the ancient photo books!It is clearly written in the picture book: "Anyone who faces the back and does not move when moving forward and looking back is said to be 'the green lion turning back'. Those who have this abnormality will surely be crowned kings, Power over the world is beyond words." He stretched out his hands and rubbed his eyes, checked again and again, only to find that the scene in front of him was so real!It is exactly the same as the "green lion turning its head" written in the ancient photo book!Just when he hesitated and muttered, Sima Yi muttered "I don't know why", then turned his head and walked forward!

Zhou Xuan was also brought back to his senses by his muttering, and he thought for sure, secretly thinking: Is there a mistake in this photo book?It is true that Sima Yi is rich and powerful, at most he is only a "talent of a public minister", how can he be "coronated by the king of Jin, and have power over the world"?It seems that he read the photo books too much... He laughed a little self-deprecatingly, then turned to Fang Ying and said, "When Sima Jun turned his head and looked back just now, he looked calm and calm. It must be the 'Zaifu's weapon'. Brother Fang will wait and see in the future——If Zhou's words are true, you can smash my name in front of all of you!"

"Brother Zhou's words have always been very effective, and I admire you so much. If Brother Sima can entrust you with the auspicious words of being named "Zaifu's Tool" and be ranked in the Taisi, I will naturally be happy for him, little brother I wish your comment would become a reality." Fang Ying smiled sweetly, "Just for the sake of my younger brother, how about taking a look at your face?" "Your face?" Zhou Xuan turned his head and stared at him quietly for a moment, then sighed leisurely, "What a pity! What a pity!" "What a pity?" Fang Ying was taken aback.

"Your face is also very good, but it's a pity that you were born in the wrong place." Zhou Xuan said solemnly, "You have the face of 'Qingquan Hanzhu'. Your concubine, it's a pity that you are a dignified man, and this strange appearance is just the end of a romantic celebrity." As soon as he said this, Fang Ying's whole body was shaken immediately, a crimson cloud suddenly appeared on her cheeks, she slightly covered her head, and said in a low voice: "What you say about 'Phoenix Crown and Xia Pei, honored as your concubine' is all false, If Fang can swim hand in hand with his beloved under the forest springs, he will be a reclusive celebrity in this life, and he will have no regrets..." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Sima Yi in front of him, his throat constricted. I couldn't say any more.

"I can't see that you are an infatuated man!..." Zhou Xuan wanted to make fun of Fang Ying, but suddenly thought of something in his heart, he threw off his steps and chased after Sima Yi, shouting loudly, "Zhongda, let me ask you a question. Regarding this matter, Master has always been quiet and indifferent, and he doesn't like to deal with people in the earthly government. Today he sent me to the Luhun County Yamen like never before. What is the county magistrate doing in the academy? Can you tell me? Do you know the inside story?" Sima Yi just walked forward and replied casually: "Kong He (Zhou Xuanzi Kong He), you have always been proficient in yin and yang divination, how could you not guess the master's intentions? You can know such trivial things with a quick divination." , why ask me again?"

Zhou Xuan was so embarrassed by his rhetorical question that he closed his mouth, and after a while he smiled competently, and said slowly: "Zhongda, to be honest, before we went out today, Zhou secretly made a divination— — This hexagram is just a bit strange, you should first tell Zhou the reason why Master invited Luhun county magistrate to come to see him in the valley." "Oh? Brother Zhou, which hexagram are you occupying? What are the strange things?" Fang Ying, who had caught up from behind, couldn't help asking in surprise when she heard what he said, "You tell me so that my younger brother can listen to it." Listen to..."

Zhou Xuan took a look at Fang Ying, opened his mouth, finally held back, waved his hand and shouted to Sima Yi who was striding forward, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Zhongda! Zhongda! You should invite Master to Lu Tell Zhou about the intention of the Hun county magistrate to meet in the valley..." Being urged by him, Sima Yi couldn't help slowing down, still without turning his head, he said indifferently: "Kong He, Master didn't explain to me what his intention was before he left the house this morning. At that time, we were all at the scene, didn't you just stand beside me? Did you hear what he said to me?" "Zhongda, who doesn't know that you are the best at reading people's hearts in the world? You can guess what Master is thinking with just a blink of an eyebrow..." Zhou Xuan still thought that Sima Yi was dodging and avoiding, straight to the ground He continued, "You must be very clear about the intention of Master's actions today. Why do you hide it in your belly and not utter it to confirm it with my hexagrams? Fang Ying, help me persuade As soon as I persuade you, brother Sima, he likes to listen to your words most on weekdays." When Fang Ying heard this, her snow-white cheeks slowly turned bright red.He glanced at Sima Yi shyly, turned his head and scolded Zhou Xuan, and said, "Hey! Brother Zhou's words are wrong! You can tell the hexagram that you have occupied first, so that Brother Sima can listen to it. Brother Sima will use this hexagram to confirm the meaning of the master he guessed in his heart. If the meaning of your hexagram is the same, why didn't he tell you the guessed words?..." "Okay...okay..." Zhou Xuan shook his head helplessly, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Fang, you said you were partial to him, but you really were partial to him! That's all! That's all! Zhongda, I'll take mine first." Let me tell you that one." "Tell me, I'm listening!" Sima Yi still walked forward without stopping, and threw this sentence at Zhou Xuan who was behind him. "Hey hey hey——you, Sima Zhongda, may have been reincarnated from a wild horse in your last life, and you only know how to gallop all the way." Zhou Xuan greeted again and again, "Slow down now and listen to me talk about this. Hexagram." "Go ahead, I'll listen. If you stop, you'll waste time." Sima Yi chuckled and continued to walk forward. "Okay...let me tell you!" Zhou Xuan raised his feet, ran a few steps to catch up with Sima Yi, and said to him, "You guys forced me to tell you first—don't blame me It's not auspicious enough. Before I left this morning, I got a hexagram of 'Master'... Hey... Don't you think this is weird? Our Linglong Valley is like a paradise in the world, far away from the world of mortals, how can we fight with the Master? Is it something to do with it?" "What did you say? - Is it the 'teacher' hexagram?" Sima Yi's voice sank suddenly, his feet stopped immediately, he stood still, and turned to look at Zhou Xuandao solemnly, "You can't make a mistake. right?" "Oh! I hope I got it wrong!" Zhou Xuan stomped his feet with a depressed face, and sighed deeply, "This hexagram is strange, and it seems to be a mixture of good and bad. I was worried all the way today, for fear of getting married What fights and fights will happen when people meet." When Fang Ying heard this, her heart tightened immediately, and she turned her suspicious eyes to Sima Yi: "Brother Sima, what do you think Master told us to invite that county magistrate Lu Hun to do?" "Well...it seems that Kong He's divination skills are really very accurate!" Sima Yi hesitated for a while, looked up in the direction of Ziyuan Academy in Linglong Valley, and sighed leisurely, "In my opinion , Master asked us to invite Lu Hun county magistrate to meet him in the valley today, and it is indeed to discuss matters related to 'Xingshi's war'." "What... what?" Zhou Xuan was startled, staring at Sima Yi with wide eyes, and asked, "As expected, Zhongda, please explain in detail." "Kong He, in fact, this matter can be foreseen." Sima Yi looked at him deeply, and said slowly, "Since August this year, migrants from Chang'an, Luoyang and the Kanto battlefield have poured into Luhun County. There are more and more defeated soldiers. Among them are the remnants of Xiliang soldiers who were dispersed by Cao Cao's army, and the Yellow Turban bandits who were chased from the south by Liu Biao, the imperial family of Jingzhou. Didn't you hear that the students who lived near the county often talked in class Did you mention this above? Those rogues and stragglers are looting and robbing everywhere in the pavilions of the villages in Luhun County. I am afraid that in a few days, they will break into our Linglong Valley and make trouble." "Oh—I understand, Master just wanted to invite Lu Hun County Magistrate to enter the valley to discuss how to defend against rogues and stragglers?" Zhou Xuan nodded after hearing this, "So that's how it is! That's how it is! This 'Master' hexagram That's what it means!" "You understand now? Why don't you hurry to the county government office?" Sima Yi urged him, and then rushed forward, "There can be no delay in this matter." "Okay! Okay!" Zhou Xuan and Fang Ying hurriedly quickened their pace after hearing this, and followed closely behind Sima Yi and Niu Jin.
