Merchant and doctor

Chapter 29
During the mid-Tang Dynasty, a school of research on the "Book of Changes" emerged in Longnan. This school put forward the theory of "five arts". ,"predict".

The Chinese medicine that Bian Mu learned took up the word "medicine".

Since the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is of the same school as the other four traditional schools of "mountain", "fate", "phase" and "divination", Bian Mu also belongs to the intensive research school of traditional Chinese medicine. Invisibly, he naturally knows a little bit about the theory of home feng shui .

The beekeepers did not know how much manpower was used to build the house. Anyway, it does not look like an ordinary farm yard. The orientation, water collection, wind protection, insect protection, and theft prevention... all aspects are set up very carefully, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have This way of thinking cannot be achieved even with a higher education, and masters and doctors are useless.

That is a special kind of metaphysical practice.

Bian Mu knows very well that if it is not for more than 30 years of hard work in certain directions of the "Five Arts", no one can do it.

Not only that, the beekeepers kept saying that their lives were tight, but now it seems that this is not the case.

There is a laptop on the coffee table in the living room. The style is really old. It is estimated that the configuration is at least ten years ago. However, it is a first-line brand, and it should be at least around 7000 when it was purchased.

The power light of the notebook is still on, and the surface is fairly clean. The external mouse has been polished by the palm of the hand, and the paint has peeled off in some places. It is obvious that the old couple used it a lot.

In Bian Mu's impression, the iron counting chip was used by ancient Chinese mathematicians to solve Chinese equations, solve pi, and measure the area of ​​farmland...

What age is this, the old couple will not use it to do math problems, right? !What's more, they can use laptops proficiently, even if they are engaged in advanced mathematical operations, what can't be found on the Internet? !
"This thing is probably used by the old man. The surface of the counting chip has been polished so that it is almost mirror-like. He must have used it a lot. What does he use it to measure?" Thinking of this, Bian Mu casually picked up two counting chips and looked at them carefully. specific details above.

"Oh! The seal character engraved at the bottom should be the character 'Pei'! Could it be that this is the old man's surname? Each of these counting chips is engraved with a diagram of the I Ching hexagram. This is the hexagram of the 'Fenghuo Family', which should be Yi After the 37th hexagram, this is 'Volcano Brigade', and the 56th hexagram, if my guess is correct, there should be at least 64 chips in this pile, representing the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes." Thinking of this, Bian Mu put the The rest of the fortune-telling hexagrams are put together one by one facing upwards.

"Tianze Lu", the 10th hexagram.

"Shanshuimeng", the 4th hexagram,
"Tianshan Dun", the 33rd hexagram,
……

Bian Mu was playing there, when the beekeeper came back with a big pot of clean berries.

"Doctor Bian! Come and eat some wild fruit."

"Thank you! Senior! Is the counter on this table?"

"Don't talk about seniors and seniors. It sounds too natural. You can just call me Lao Pei. Doctor Bian is really knowledgeable. It's a calculation. It's passed down from your ancestors. When you're restless, play with it for a while." The old man Pei smiled and explained a few words.

Putting down the chips in his hands, Bian Mu returned to the tea table, picked up a mountain apple and took a bite without peeling it. It was sweet and juicy, so delicious!

"Uneasy? Do you always use it for divination?"

"Almost! What? Do you usually play this?"

"I only know the common sense of Liuyao. It's the first time I've seen this set you made! It must be quite mysterious, right?"

"I only know a little superficially, but the mysteries in it are really profound, what a pity! My aptitude is too poor, and I usually just play a few trigrams for fun."

"Really? Does it work?"

"It's okay! What? Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"There is one embarrassing thing...but...if I'm lucky, I might be able to pass."

"You don't look like an ordinary person at first glance. You must be happy. If you are idle, you are idle. Why don't you just say a word without thinking about it. I will try to help you out."

"Then I'll thank you! Then... the word 'kidney', is it okay?"

"No problem! The more you blurt it out, the more effective it is! I'll try it! The traditional form of 'kidney' is 'chen' plus 'you', and the bottom is 'month', 'chen' is 6, 'you' is 2, The 'month' is 4, and the three phases add up to 12..." Lao Pei was muttering something, sometimes pinching his fingers and calculating for a long time.

After a while, feeling that it was almost done, Lao Pei walked slowly to the desk, picked three out of the pile of counting chips and arranged them in a shape of two horizontal and one vertical.

Bian Mu followed closely behind, carefully observing how Mr. Pei played with those calculations with interest.

After a while, Bian Mu found that there were far more than 64 counting chips, and at least one-third of the counting chips selected by Mr. Pei did not depict the 64 hexagrams and hexagrams.

After measuring for about 10 minutes, Lao Pei's originally very serious expression gradually showed a few smiles.

"Doctor Bian! If my calculations are correct, plus today, three days later, you will not only be able to pass the test smoothly, but you will also be able to fulfill a small wish as you wish." Lao Pei explained with a smile.

"Really? Is there any specific hint?"

"The hexagram says that the so-called problem that caused you trouble will be solved by itself. As long as you keep silent, the problem will be eliminated by itself." Lao Pei explained with a smile.

"So good?! Can you explain more specifically?"

"It is said in the hexagram that the person involved may be concerned about important privacy, and insists that this matter should not be made public, and that bad thing that made you feel a little embarrassed will naturally disappear without a trace."

"It's so effective! It's really a sentence that awakens the dreamer! I understand!" Speaking of this, he was happy for a while, and Bian Mu couldn't help but patted his forehead, looking both surprised and happy.

"as long as you are happy."

"You have lived in the mountains for a long time, and you don't have much connection with the medical circle. It's okay to tell you some things. You just want to confirm it for me." As he spoke, Bian Mu made it easy for Ouyang Ziye to deliberately embarrass himself. Introduced a bit.

"I see! I see! The so-called chairman must have some influence. He is fully capable of controlling Ouyang Ziye's subjective will. As a prominent figure on the street, once his illness is made public, the affairs of his affair will be closed immediately." If it was made public, he would not be able to accept it anyway. In order to save his face, no matter what, he would not come forward to help them fight in the ring. As for how Ouyang Ziye understands this matter, that is not the chairman's concern. , Speaking of which, Ouyang Ziye is stupid enough, how can he bet on the face of a big man, he is asking for excitement! I think he is going to be the director to the end, don't worry, it won't be long, Ouyang Ziye himself You will hand in your resignation letter, and by then, you will be able to take a job in that hospital smoothly, congratulations, congratulations!" While speaking, Lao Pei congratulated Bian Mu.

"Thank you! Thank you for your kind words! This is the happiest news I've heard this year!" Bian Mu was very happy now.

Bian Mu firmly believed that Mr. Chong was definitely not joking about the professionalism with which Mr. Chong played with the pile of calculation chips.
