Chapter 9
After Tianlang settled down in the Chaiwu, he eavesdropped on the lectures of the Taoist temple here every day. He found that the things taught by the Taoist temple were very exquisite and interesting. The more he listened, the more interested he became, and he became a little fascinated. Yoko helped him find some books to read for him, and he was enjoying it every day and gradually fascinated.
In fact, the science that Tianlang secretly learned is the highest level of Taoism. The "Qimen Dunjia" known as the study of emperors is the first secret technique among the three secret treasures of Qimen, Liuren and Taiyi. It is the first of the three styles, revealing the role of the eight planets in the solar system and the earth's magnetic field. "Qi" refers to the three strange things, namely Yi, Bing, Ding, and "Gate" refers to the eight gates, namely "open, rest, live, hurt, Du, Jing, die, and shock".
Qimen Dunjia has a magical magic power, containing philosophical wisdom, calendar science, cosmic view, astronomy knowledge, war science, strategy science, etc. The common saying among the people is "Learn Qimen Dun, no need to ask if you come."
In ancient times, Qimen Dunjia was mainly used in wars, with a kilogram of force, a victory in a hundred battles, and no one could succeed. Legend has it that when Chiyou was in chaos, Huangdi was unable to conquer. The Nine Heavens Xuannv taught the Dragon Armor God Chapter. According to the records in the book, Huangdi built weapons and learned military tactics, thus defeating Chiyou.
In addition to Huangdi, in history, typical representative figures include Jiang Taigong, Xu Liang, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other high-level Taoists. Among them, Zhuge Liang, who is widely familiar, can know astronomy, geography, can set up Bagua war formations, can summon the east wind, burn the camps, and also invented and manufactured Zhuge crossbows, wooden ox and flowing horses, Kongming lanterns, and other fire beasts and bridge guns. They all use the art of Qimen Dunjia, and are masters in this field.
It is said that Tianlang is a stolen master in the wood house and studies day and night. With his extraordinary talent, he has gradually entered the right path and suddenly realized his trait. He has been working tirelessly and deeply fascinated by it.
With Tianlang's guidance, Yangzi also realized something and learned some basic knowledge. However, he prefers to ask Langzi for advice and study every day, and listens to Langzi's stories about strange stories outside. He is very happy that he has a close friend who can talk about the world.
One day, Master Hongji asked the apprentices to come down and use theories of "Heaven Stems and Earthly Branches" and "Five Elements" to calculate the acquired weather. That night, Tianlang pulled Yangzi out to observe the celestial phenomena at night.
After looking for a while, Tianlang calculated for a while, and said, "This atmosphere looks strange and seems calm, but I calculated that there will be heavy rain and strong winds in the future."
Yoko said: "How could it be? It's almost the beginning of autumn. It's the time when the autumn is clear and the weather is cool. The sun shines brightly every day, and there is very little rain. The abbot asked us to take out all the quilts in each room these days, so how could it rain heavily?"
"I used the method of "five ethics and six qi" taught by the master to calculate it. Isn't it right?" Tianlang thought for a while and said, "Master Hongji asked everyone to calculate the weather in the future. He must have known that there will be strange phenomena in the sky. Let's take this test for everyone."
Then he gave Yoko an in-person instruction and taught him this way. Yoko was skeptical when he heard this, but he nodded and agreed.
On the morning of the third day, the sun was still in the sky, the wind was warm, and the autumn weather was clear and cool. When the apprentices saw such weather, they couldn't help but look happy, thinking that the answer they gave to the teacher yesterday was finally correct.
It was almost noon, and the masters and apprentices came out to the front yard for dinner after class. At this time, Yangzi was picking up the drying cotton quilt covers one by one in the yard and taking them back into the house.
A deacon came over and asked, "Zhen Yangzi, the sun is just right at noon, why do you want to put away the dry quilt?"
"I'm afraid there will be heavy rain and strong winds in a while, and I'm afraid it will be too late to collect it, so I'll receive it now." Yoko said while holding the quilt cover.
"Nonsense, I think you have nothing to do. Stop it quickly, don't accept it, go to the kitchen to help first, hurry up!" The deacon said angrily. Yoko had to stop and went to the kitchen angrily.
However, in less than a meal, I heard a sudden strong wind outside, whimpering, sand and soil flying, followed by dark clouds covering the sky, and rain began to rain, and the raindrops became denser and denser, and the rain turned from the middle to heavy rain.
Fortunately, the little Taoist Yangzi had already collected most of the quilts, cotton clothes and other clothes that were dried in the yard. Everyone took away all the remaining ones in a few strokes, and the loss was not great. Everyone praised Yangzi for being foresighted, and the deacon also looked at Yangzi differently.
Yangzi immediately went to Tianlang to express his merits and good news. Master Hongji scolded his disciples in the backyard: "The ancestors' magical skills are obscure and difficult to understand, without innate talents, difficult to find the essence, without acquired diligence, and difficult to find the truth. Lack of cultivation and characterization, it is even more difficult to achieve learning, and ultimately fall into vain."
"I gave you the title the day before yesterday. Today I saw that there was no correct calculation in Jing, which disappointed me." Master Hongji shook his head in disappointment.
"Disciples should keep in mind the teachings of their masters and study their homework harder," the disciples replied.
"Today's weather changes suddenly, and I'm a young man. Except for Master who can predict it, it's hard for others to do it," said a disciple.
"No, in addition to Master, there is a Taoist boy in the front yard who also predicted the celestial phenomena today." A disciple said, and then told everyone about the situation he saw in the front yard today. Master Hongji was quite surprised after hearing this.
One day, Taiqing ancestor came to Guanzhong to preach, and he focused on the use of Qimen's extraordinary techniques in military art. He started with famous military arts in history, combined with actual combat examples, and explained it in a simple and easy way.
After explaining Guiguzi's military tactics to the disciples, Taiqing Patriarch said to the disciples: "Weapon is a treacherous way. The way to use military forces lies in changing changes, attacking them without defense, and being unexpected. Therefore, "can" seems "can't"; "use" seems "not used"; "near" seems "far"; "far" seems "close", which is the path of impermanence."
"Today I will give you a question to test whether what you have learned can be useful." Master Taiqing said, sitting down on the Taishi chair above the lecture hall.
"I am now sitting upright in the hall. You can use a plan to let the teacher leave this seat and step out of the hall to win. Everyone is not careful."
When the disciples heard this, they couldn't help looking at each other, thinking how could this be done? The person who was tricked had already known the purpose of the trick, so how could he fall into the trap? This is too difficult.
Everyone whispered and talked, and they were inconsistent, thinking that there was nothing they could do.
Tianlang heard the teacher asked this question in the wood room. When he changed his mind and thoughts, he immediately called Yoko and told him to do this in his ear.
After listening to the plan, Yoko came to the school in the backyard with a bucket of water, pretending to go to deliver water.
When Yangzi entered the school, he saw the disciples standing in the school in a circle. In the middle was the ancestor Taiqing sitting upright on a chair, shaking the paper fan in his hand, looking leisurely and contented.
Seeing this, Yoko asked loudly, "What are you doing? Could it be that the teacher is doing magic? Let me see too." As he said that, he squeezed into the crowd.
"What magic tricks are you trying to test everyone by the teacher? It depends on whether you have the ability to trick the teacher out of this Grand Master's chair and walk out of this school." A disciple told Yoko.
"Is this...? I can do it too, let me try it." As he said that, Yangzi entered the Taiqing ancestor, looked up and down, and then turned around the chair with great stance.
When Master Taiqing saw that he was a boy doing odd jobs in the front yard, he disagreed and shook his head and closed his eyes with contempt.
Yoko had been walking around the chair for several times, but there was no movement. The disciples around him were a little impatient and cheered: "If you have any skills, please use them quickly. Don't keep spinning around like a donkey pulling a mill."
Yangzi scratched his head with some embarrassment, stepped forward and bowed to Master Taiqing, and said, "The master has really no way to do the questions he has given today."
When the disciples heard what he said, they burst into laughter.
Yoko was not annoyed, and continued, "If the master can change the conditions slightly, make sure that the smaller ones can be done."
After hearing what he said, Taiqing Patriarch became interested again and asked, "How to change the Dharma? Let's listen."
"If the master can stand outside the school first, I will definitely have a way to get the master back to this master's chair and sit." Yoko said.
"Are you serious?" asked Master Taiqing.
"It's guaranteed to be fake, it takes only a moment to do it, and there is no joke!"
"Okay, I'm going to see how you have." After that, Master Taiqing came to the courtyard outside the hall surrounded by his disciples, stood behind his hands, looking calm and relaxed, and asked Yangzi: "Is this possible?"
Yangzi followed the master and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, just here." After that, Yangzi turned around again around Taiqing's ancestor.
