Chapter Eight: Meeting a Stranger at Yunshan Mountain
Tang Xuan, who had been in the mountains for a few days, felt that he had regained some strength, and the progress was faster than he originally expected. There was no movement in the astrolabe. If it were not still usable, Tang Xuan would have thought that the astrolabe was in use.
It's like it disappeared.
"I've heard that the Central Plains is rich in resources, so I can take this opportunity to wander around, but I guess it won't involve me in the world of mortals." Tang Xuan said to himself.
A few days later, Tang Xuan wandered all the way and came to a nearby city. The city gate was majestic, obviously not made by ordinary people. There were two big characters written neatly on it - Yunshan.
After entering the city, Tang Xuan's eyes were opened. Rows of houses and markets were intertwined. Although a large number of pedestrians on the road were ordinary people, there were occasionally a few with spiritual energy fluctuations. Obviously their cultivation levels were not.
It's very high. Looking at it, I'm afraid there aren't even any foundation builders. This doesn't quite fit with my understanding of the Central Plains. When I chatted with the masters and others in the past, everyone's impression of the Central Plains was that they were full of spiritual energy and masters.
Ruyun, it is said that any third-rate sect can have several golden elixir masters in charge, and the top sects even have the existence of legendary gods, but no one has seen it. Some people say that the powerful gods have already ascended to the immortal world.
Some people also said that there was no fairyland at all. In short, there were different opinions. Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Xuan even wondered whether it was a compiled rumor before or that this was not the Central Plains at all.
Shaking his head, Tang Xuan decided not to think about this for now. He walked on the street and looked at the fireworks all over the city. It was a bit strange. He had been asking about the sky since he could remember it. He had almost no idea what life in the secular world was like.
In addition, Xueling is sparsely populated. Except for cultivators, there are very few villages for ordinary people, let alone such large-scale cities.
"My young master, I see that you are an extraordinary person, and there is a faint auspiciousness between your eyebrows. You may have a big event in the near future. Do you want me to give you a divination?"
An old voice interrupted Tang Xuan's thoughts. He turned back to look at the old man. The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a stooped figure and wrinkles on his face that almost blocked his eyes. He looked like he was smiling. Tang Xuan also
He was not sure, but the old man's words aroused his interest. You must know that Wentian Guan is originally a divination lineage. Tang Xuan knew all these Feng Shui fortune-telling techniques by heart. At this time, someone actually wanted to show them to him.
The hexagram was a bit interesting. On the other hand, the old man did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations, which made Tang Xuan certain that the old man should be a folk magician.
Tang Xuan raised his hands to the old man and said, "It's not necessary. I can do some divination, so there's no need."
After saying this, Tang Xuan was about to leave. The old man was not angry at all. He followed Tang Xuan leisurely, muttering something in his mouth: "Auspicious signs should be wrapped around one's eyebrows, one should be overjoyed, one's body should be tall and straight, and there is no disease. The purple air hanging from the top of one's head may lead to unexpected encounters."
, everything is going well, just be afraid of the stars.”
Tang Xuan frowned for a while, he could understand what he said before, and he also knew that all those who practice Taoism have spiritual roots, which is what ordinary people call wisdom roots, and the spiritual energy around the body will indeed be like the purple energy mentioned by the charlatans.
In addition, although his cultivation level is not high now, he is still a foundation-building body, and of course he will not have any diseases. But this last sentence completely aroused his interest, and he suddenly turned around and asked: "Old sir,
What does this "I'm afraid of the stars" mean?"
The old man smiled and said nothing, but stretched his hand in front of Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan understood in his heart that he was asking for money, but he didn't have any money, so he could only wave his hand and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I'm so short of money."
, wasting your time."
The old man looked at Tang Xuan, shook his head and said, "You can't go back after opening the hexagram. Since you don't have money, you can help me pack my things as a reward."
Tang Xuan was a little confused, but he still nodded and walked with the old man, muttering in his heart that he was really a strange guy, but for Tang Xuan who was very familiar with divination, he could understand it more or less. Ordinary people thought that divination and fortune telling were all fake.
It's a trick to beg for food, but the fact is that this is not a trick, but a real peek into the secrets of heaven. Depending on the individual's level of understanding of the magic, the secrets that can be seen are different, and the backlash suffered is also different.
, the five disadvantages and three shortcomings that ordinary people often say are a kind of backlash, but for cultivators, the backlash is even more serious, because cultivation is to understand the secrets of heaven, or even go against the will of heaven, and use the power to get close to the secrets of heaven to spy on the secrets of heaven.
The backlash from the rules will become more and more serious. In the mild case, the mind will be in a trance, the cultivation level will decline, and in the serious case, the life will be in danger. This is also the reason why many people with cultivation level do not open hexagrams.
Soon they came to a small house on the corner of the street. The old man motioned for Tang Xuan to enter the house. After sitting down, the old man gently closed the door and opened his eyes to look at Tang Xuan. The old man's eyes were extremely bright and he did not look like a dying person at all. Tang Xuan was also frightened.
After a jump, he quickly regained his composure. Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Young man has good concentration. If I didn't miss it, he should have reached the third or fourth level of Qi training."
"Senior has good eyesight, I haven't asked senior for advice yet." Tang Xuan stood up and said.
"Sit down, you're welcome. I'm just a mortal old man. I'm going to explain a hexagram for you."
Although Tang Xuan was a little surprised, he nodded dully.
The old man took a sip of water and said: "If I am not mistaken, the Taoism you practice should also be in the divination line. I can feel that you have a feeling very similar to mine. The difference is that the source
It should not be the same one. I have been making secrets on the way. As for the saying that I am only afraid of the stars, I don't understand it clearly. I may feel that your cultivation will eventually be destroyed by the sun, moon and stars. I am afraid of the immortals.
I don’t know much about Tu, but I just feel that if you, little fellow, can avoid this time when the stars are strong in your future cultivation, I’m afraid you will make rapid progress.”
After hearing this, Tang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. The art of acting as a star that he has learned is a technique that absorbs the power of stars. This old man is so good. It's refreshing to keep himself away from the best time to practice. However, this old man is not simple either. He obviously doesn't have any
From the fluctuations in his cultivation level, he can tell that he is also a divine person in terms of the techniques he has learned.
"But young man, your destiny is a bit erratic. I'm afraid something terrible will happen in the future. I still want to advise you, try not to get involved in dangerous places, and don't trust others easily. If possible, it is best to form a relationship with a teacher, so that you will be safe.
.”
"Do you have a relationship with me as a teacher?" Tang Xuan murmured, "Thank you very much, sir."
"Okay, boy, that's all. Seeing as you are penniless, I'm afraid you are not from Yunshan City. If you help me clean the house, it will be your fortune. Let's stay here tonight."
