Chapter 85: Frost Beauty Woman, Laughing Dog(1/2)
Mr. Huayang twisted his beard and laughed,
"well!
However, your current identity is the head of the Tan Sect, and I would not dare to accept you as a disciple.
Then I have to give you a book and let you understand it on your own."
Tao Hongjing took out a thread-bound paper book from his sleeve and stuffed it into Qingyun's hand.
Qingyun only saw four big characters "Introduction to Psychology" written on the cover...
What is this psychology?
Tao Hongjing seemed to know his intention and explained from the side,
“What is recorded in this book is Pindao’s insights in recent years.
The great Confucian Wang Yunzeng said:
The holy heart is bright but not dark, and the virtuous mind is not chaotic. Use the light to detect the wrong, and you will see everything that is wrong; use the reason to dispel doubts, and the doubts will not be uncertain. It is different from the world. Although it is right, no one will know it.
The reason why sages are sages is because their minds can see through all right and wrong, their psychology can break through all suspense, and they can see the truth that the world cannot see.
Zuo Bohao of the Eastern Han Dynasty also said:
The hearts of ordinary people are not far apart from each other, and their uneasiness is the same in ancient and modern times.
How to manage one's mind, strengthen one's ambition, calm one's mind and avoid chaos, and know what one is doing.
People call it Xuan, but I call it principle, which is the way of psychology."
Destined to have trouble sleeping tonight, Qingyun returned to the room and simply flipped through Mr. Huayang's gift book.
The book is divided into three parts,
The previous article talked about how to recognize people by observing their appearance, characteristics, and details, such as how to judge a person's age, life experience, occupation, and status, as well as predict their possible future direction.
The middle part talks about some question and answer techniques, how to quickly determine some important information about the other party through clever question and answer guidance.
The next chapter is about the more mysterious techniques of Yi, Xiang, and Astronomy.
When reading the section "Guest Star", Qingyun suddenly noticed that Tao Hongjing had specially marked this chapter with a bookmark,
There are eight characters on the signature: "Gengzi Xinsi Xinyou Renchen".
This seems to be someone's birth date?
Gengzi... is sixteen years old this year. Could it be that...
Qingyun suddenly had a bad premonition and hurriedly read it carefully.
This so-called guest star is what modern astronomy calls the astronomical phenomenon of a supernova explosion. It usually appears as a bright star that suddenly appears in the sky.
The observation of guest stars has already begun in China in prehistory, and there was a vague description in the Book of Documents.
However, the official record of the appearance of the guest star in the history books was in the first year of Yuanguang (134 BC).
Subsequently, in the fourth year of Yuanfeng (77 BC) and the first year of Chuyuan (48 BC), Wang Mang came to the world.
So there is a saying that the Jingxing (auspicious star) turns into a bad omen in two turns, and comes to the world in the fourth turn to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
From the appearance of the beautiful star to the descent of the evil star, this cycle spans about a hundred years.
The second reincarnation of this prophecy began in the second year of Zhongping in the Later Han Dynasty (185).
This star passed through Cao Wei in the second year of Jingchu and twice in the second year of Ganlu, and came to the world on behalf of Tuoba Yilu from the north.
In the 18th year of Taiyuan of Jin Dynasty (393), the scenery reappeared.
In the third year of Taiyan and the fifth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the evil star of the contemporary troubled times should have come into being.
This...according to Mr. Huayang's calculations,
Could it be that he suspected...Senior Sister Hu?
Given Mr. Huayang's status, since he warned Qingyun, he had already calculated it over and over again and would definitely not make it out of thin air.
He had known Hu Caiting for more than ten days, and it was only now that he reminded him to pay attention by gifting him a book, which shows that he was cautious about the prophecies about the arrival of evil stars.
The Nine Dragons circle the pillar and meet the four evil stars. These two magical fortunes were approved by Tao Hongjing.
Whether it was the Dragon Pillar that was really strong in destiny or the evil star that was ruthless, Tao Hongjing also spent that night gathering money under the moon and making careful calculations.
The autumn night is rustling, this great Taoist disciple has frost on his temples and sweat on his forehead.
Those who discern the secrets of heaven will hardly live a long life, and those who go against destiny will not have a good ending.
Li Xuandu was forced to seize the secrets in vain. If he, Tao Hongjing, continues to be selfless like this...
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, all the plans were thrown into chaos, and Tao Hongjing's eyebrows narrowed.
In the middle of the night, I wonder who is so disturbing and messing up the plans?
Bang bang bang, the door clicked, and Qingyun and Tao Hongjing, who were still awake, stepped into the courtyard one after another.
The visitor was a middle-aged man in Taoist attire.
As soon as he stepped into the door, his face was filled with smiles, and his eyes were squeezed upward like a mustache on his lips.
"Hey, Sect Master Tao, Sect Master Qing!
The two sect masters were still up so late at night, yet they were still working on their toes for me.
Sin, sin!”
Qingyun had just read Mr. Hua Yang's "Introduction to Psychology", and now he was ready to sell his knowledge, so he started experimenting with the Taoist priest in front of him.
This person's skin is relatively dry, and he probably doesn't live in a coastal environment.
He carries a cross sword on his back and a vertical and horizontal cross is embroidered on the collar of his Taoist robe, which should be the symbol of a certain family.
Under the moonlight, there is a pure white animal hair on the Taoist's boots, which is very conspicuous.
It seems that he had just been to Samoyed and Su Qijian's residence.
Come to see me at this time... Qingyun went through some arrangement and combination in his mind, and immediately came up with a plan, and came forward with a smile.
"Zhang Yuan traveled to Hedong, and Zhang offered wine.
Long time admiration, long time admiration!
Zhang Jijiu entered the customs tonight, and it was supposed to be a visit from the younger generation.
If you don’t want to but work hard and come to hold a memorial ceremony and drink in person, I should be the younger generation feeling ashamed.”
These few words directly confused Zhang Yuanyou.
He had indeed just entered the customs tonight. When he first entered the customs, he met several fellow students clamoring to watch the fun.
When he learned that it was the reckless young sect who wanted to stroke the Samoyed's hair, he naturally went with him to see the joke.
Later, when he saw that Qingyun was depressed, he chatted and laughed with a few friends for a while, and then went to the King of Rencheng to register and claim his residence.
Later, when he saw that it was getting late, he did not even go to his residence, but first came to "comfort" the young Tangun.
In fact, it is just an attempt to expose the scars and provoke others.
Qingyun had already seen this clearly in his smile.
In such a short period of time, King Rencheng communicated information to this boy?
Were the officials of Wei State so efficient?
Zhang Yuanyou was full of suspicion, but the smile on his face did not change.
"Sect Master, have you met me before?"
Naturally, Tao Hongjing knew that Qingyun was a temporary itch, so he simply gave him some room to express himself, then stepped aside to laugh, which did not affect Qingyun's personal performance.
Qingyun shook his head,
"Of course I have heard of Zhang Jijiu's name before.
It's just that I have always been poor in luck, which is a pity.
I heard that the Su and Zhang families still maintain the legacy of Guigu, wearing Taoist attire.
So I took a bold guess and unexpectedly I won."
In fact, all Qingyun knew about Zhang Yuanyou before was that apart from his name, he only knew that he was from the Zhang family in Hedong and that he was a descendant of Zhang Yi.
There are a lot of other things like this, it all relies on him to spy on people, judge things, and tell nonsense.
But from what Zhang Yuanyou heard, he naturally thought that the sect leader had done enough homework in advance to win the Zhang family's vote in the Five Sacrifice Wine Voting Competition.
Therefore, he still did not pay attention to Qingyun. He exchanged a few words with Mr. Huayang and then began to reveal his intention.
This long journey really inherits some of the qualities of a political strategist.
When you open your mouth, you will be frothing at the mouth. First, you should praise Tao Hongjing and Qingyun.
Then he started talking about the decline of the Su family in recent years and how arrogant the Samoyed's broken sleeves were.
Such a family should have been removed from the Five Sacrifice Wine long ago.
To be continued...
