Can you live forever

Chapter 9 The river map is the body, and everything is used

"Astronomical calendar is called the art of embellishment."

"The internal calculation is based on the Hunyuan, and the external calculation is based on subdivision. The two have their own strengths, but they are completely different. Even if they can reach the same goal in the end, they cannot be confused for the time being. They need to be recognized separately."

"Kua Fu goes day by day, using the standard to measure the shadow of the sky, and determine Tai Chi to divide yin and yang."

"Fuxi draws the hexagrams, evolves the five elements and eight trigrams with the Hetu Luoshu, and with the precipitation of the Dao, the world is opened up."

"If you ask me why there are yin and yang fish in Tai Chi, then you must first understand that the trajectory of the sun and the moon is not determined by the speed alone. You must know that there are five elements in the four seasons."

"Knowing this, let's go stargazing again."

"Let's look at the Tao of "the sage follows" after these "heavenly vertical elephants", and what other phenomena can be confirmed."

The old celestial master's teachings are not insincere. Although Zhang Zhixiang has some inherent concepts caused by modern science, he feels like he has opened up a new world, and he feels suddenly enlightened.

this night.

The old celestial master pointed to the starry sky and told him the four seasons and the five elements, wood, fire, earth, gold, and water. In the starry sky, the five stars will also appear in this order in the northern sky, and each star will travel for 72 days.

So in ancient times there were five seasons, October, with 36 days in each month.There are 360 ​​days in a year, leaving 5 or 6 days for Chinese New Year.

Mercury appears in the north at Zishi and Sishi every day, on the first and sixth of each month (first day, sixth day, eleventh, sixteenth, 21st, 26th), the sun, moon and Mercury meet in the north, every January and June , Mercury can be seen in the north at dusk.

Mars is two or seven.

Jupiter is three or eight.

Venus is four or nine.

Saturn is five or ten.

Therefore, it is said: the sky produces water, and the earth produces [-]% of it; the sky [-] produces fire, and the earth produces [-]% of it; the sky [-] produces wood, and the earth produces [-]% of it; the sky [-] produces gold, and the earth produces [-]% of it;

That's how the river map was drawn.

The river map records the changes in the starry sky, and the so-called negative map of the dragon and horse is a "heavenly vertical image". The old master said that if the river dries up and the shape of the river bed appears, the old master said, it will be a picture. Canglong Picture.

And the image of the dragon head is a horse...

Dragons and horses are not creatures, but dragons and horses, just like the Feathered Serpent God analyzed by Zhang Baichuan, it is not a feathered snake, but a feather and a snake...

In short.

The shape of the Guagou is exactly the same as the seven dragons and seven constellations in the sky, the dragon and the horse are negative, and the heaven and the earth converge at this moment, the fate is so wonderful.

The sky hangs down like an image, but the saint does it.

Therefore, I recorded the starry sky, thinking that there is a road above the sky that can guide civilization forward, so I drew a river map, 1, 6 in the north, 2, 7 in the south, 3, 8 in the east, 4, 9 in the west, 5, 10 in the middle.

Odd numbers are yang and even numbers are yin.

Therefore, there are yin and yang in the center, the avenue rotates to the left, 5 means yang is on the left, and 10 means yin is on the right, so there are more yin and yang fish in Tai Chi... It is also the yin and yang of Tai Chi that can explain why there are five elements in the four seasons.

That night, the old heavenly master talked a lot.

But the sentence that impressed Zhang Zhixiang the most was: "The river map is indeed a catalog of the Dao, but what I want you to remember is not this picture, but the fact that 'the sky hangs down like an image, and the sage follows it'."

……

Taiji, yin and yang, five elements, gossip, heavenly stems, earthly branches, Zhang Zhixiang has a lot to learn, and tonight is just the beginning. It is said that cultivating immortals is going against the sky. So, you must first understand what is the way of heaven before you can go against the sky, right?
But after tonight, the old heavenly master stopped teaching.

It's just that if you teach him too much, the random flowers will gradually become charming, and you can't see the way clearly, so I didn't teach him anything, just let him look at the starry sky before going to sleep at night.

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

Two or three months passed in a flash, and tomorrow will be March [-]rd, and Xuanyuan will be born on March [-]rd.

It is the Shangsi Festival.

Although the Shangsi Festival has not been taken seriously since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there is still the custom of outings, which is a good time to travel.

Worried that no one would take care of Zhang Zhixiang on the road, Zhang Fu asked Yu Shui to accompany him on the road.

On the Tianshi mansion, Zhang Yonghuan, the nephew of the old Tianshi, led the team on the road, and Da Fangfeng also accompanied him as an escort. There were only four people in the group, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Please resign to the old celestial master before departure.

After telling Zhang Yonghuan a few words, the old heavenly master looked at Zhang Zhixiang for a while, and suddenly said: "The bottom of the mountain can't compare to the top of the mountain. I'd better teach you a way of Taoism."

"what?"

Zhang Zhixiang didn't expect that his senior brother didn't even tell him the knowledge of Dao these days, but now he is willing to teach him spells, but he hasn't started to practice at all, and he doesn't have true energy, how can he use it?

Seeming to see Zhang Zhixiang's worry, the old Tianshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a magic mantra, it will be effective when you read it."

"Oh."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded foolishly, but the old master was very satisfied. He didn't teach Zhang Zhixiang how to read, but stretched out his finger, and a little golden light hit his brow. In an instant, the room was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes...

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth is the root of all energy."

"Cultivating hundreds of millions of kalpas to prove my supernatural powers."

"In and out of the Three Realms, the Tao is the only one."

"The body has golden light, reflecting my body."

……

The carriage had already set off, and Zhang Zhixiang was sitting in the carriage, still chanting the Golden Light Curse, but the radiant situation never happened again. Sure enough, the same spell was used differently by different people...

"Master, what are you reading?"

"Spell."

"Ah! Master knows magic?"

"That's right..."

"Then young master, hurry up and pray for the master and wife."

"Oh well."

Zhang Yonghuan was sitting on the frame of the car and driving, listening to the conversation between the little uncle and the maid, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, the golden light mantra is not used to pray for blessings.

Keep driving.

Zhang Yonghuan glanced at Da Fangfeng, who could keep up with the carriage by walking casually beside the carriage. Two seven-star sabers.

Mighty is very mighty, but how will I take the boat later...

Starting from Longhu Mountain to Shuntianfu, the best route is to take Poyang Lake, arrive at Yingtianfu by water, and then go north along the canal.

Poyang Lake has a tributary of the Xinjiang River passing through Guixi County in the north. The straight-line distance from Zhangjia Village to Xinjiang is only more than [-] miles, and the nearest ferry is [-] miles away. We arrived at sunset by car.

I found a buddy at the ferry, gave me two qian and told me to send the carriage back to Zhangjia Village.

There is no contract, and there is no guarantee. Just handing over the silver and the carriage so generously. It seems a strange transaction in the eyes of later generations, but it is a normal phenomenon in the present.

Doing things these days is about faith.

Due to factors such as household registration and road guides, the population flow is not large, and if the reputation in the local area is bad, it will be difficult to live.

The Xinjiang River is about 80 meters wide, and it doesn't have too much momentum. If you can swim, you can swim to the other side in less than 2 minutes. There are no big boats on the river, and most of the passengers are awning boats.

But as a ferry in Guixi County, there are naturally merchant ships going north.

Dafangfeng's size could not fit in a black-topped boat, so Zhang Yonghuan found a merchant ship that was loading. The steward asked about the origin, and when he learned that they were Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion, he agreed to take them with him.

Not only is there no charge, but the food and drinks are also entertained.

It may have the name of Tianshi Mansion, but it is more because of Da Fangfeng's face, business is not always stable these days, with such a unparalleled and fierce general, he must not be afraid of water bandits.

A room was arranged on the boat, but Zhang Zhixiang did not enter the room to rest.

Instead, he stood on the deck and watched the workers on the docks carrying the goods and flying away quickly from the five-foot-wide steps. Obviously some people were already very tired, and they were a little shaky when walking, but they continued...

In the fifth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the world below the mountain was not as beautiful as that on the mountain.

　Signed the contract and started the double update.
