“Qi is the source of heaven and earth.
"The interaction of Qi is the basis for the growth of all things. The changes in cold and heat, the movement of the sun and the moon, and the alternation of day and night are all the function of Qi.
“The Qi of heaven and earth moves in an orderly manner, and grasping this law is the foundation of Qi-watching.
"At the beginning of looking at Qi, you need to determine the direction based on people and objects. Beginners use stars to orient themselves, and they cannot move to the south, east, west, or west. Advanced people use themselves to orient themselves. The location of the body and mind is the universe.
"The reason why life is alive lies in breathing. Who is breathing? It is Qi. Take in new Qi and exhale old Qi. Every time you exhale and inhale, whatever the Qi moves, there must be traces of the movement.
"This trace is everything, the result of the movement and change of Qi. Therefore, by looking for traces of Qi, you can know everything.
"The art of qi reading is extensive and profound. It takes ten years for a mediocre person to get started, and thirty years for a wise person to achieve great success. In daily life, you need to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, get close to the natural world physically and mentally, and not be bothered by the world.
"Today, I, Zhao Gongming, convey the hope of Chang'an Lord to heaven and earth."
Ying Chengyuchu was still listening patiently, but when he heard Zhao Gongming was about to teach the technique, he couldn't help it anymore, and he frowned and interrupted.
“Stop, stop, stop.
"Who wants to learn your Qi-gazing technique? I want to know what you actually see, not how to see it."
Zhao Gongming lowered his head and gently touched the black tiger's fur.
"Gong Ming thought that Lord Chang'an wanted to draw parallels and go one step further by using the Qi-gazing technique to find a way out, but it turned out not to be the case.
"But if you just want to know what will happen in the future, do you still need to find out from Gong Ming, Lord Chang'an? Lord Chang'an should see it more clearly than Gong Ming."
Ying Chengyu's pupils suddenly shrank.
[Is this Zhao Gongming, like that old ghost Wang Xu, aware that I have traveled back from the future? Or are you deceiving me with your words? ]
[What kind of corpse art are these people learning? Why are all the onmyoji so evil? This is so unscientific! Why have I never heard of this kind of ability in my previous life? ]
[No, I don’t believe it. If we could really know exactly what would happen in the future, and if there really were such people, there shouldn’t be Wu Huanhua in China! ]
Ying Chengyu's thoughts changed all at once, and the expressions on his face were also ever-changing. Fortunately, there is no light or fire here, and you can't see anything clearly in the dark night, so you don't have to worry about Zhao Gongming seeing the clues.
He chuckled.
"Why did Mr. Zhao say this?"
Zhao Gongming didn't raise his head, stroking the half-friend, half-child black tiger.
"During this trip, Lord Chang'an seemed to be crazy. I have always wondered if I was wrong. How could a man who can alarm Gong Ming with his benevolence and whose benevolence is as strong as the emperor's aura be a madman.
"After leaving Han Valley and entering South Korea, Gong Ming understood the sceneries of various counties and cities. Those who spoke accurate prophecies and achieved Yin and Yang skills that Gong Ming could not match are far away and close in front of us."
[Scare me! ]
[You know what the heck, you’re overthinking. There is no Korea now, only Korea! ]
[You are so good at thinking, how about I introduce Li Si to you? ]
The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched, and his heart was half relaxed, half disappointed that he couldn't see the real person - just for a moment, he really felt like the person in front of him was a god.
Suppressing the desire to complain, Ying Chengyu wiped the sweat that had appeared on his forehead at some point and continued to listen to Zhao Gongming's explanation of what he understood.
The thunder was still rumbling, but Ying Chengyu didn't feel solemn at all this time. He only felt it was funny.
"Everything Changan Jun did in South Korea was for the slightest change. Outsiders cannot understand Changan Jun's hardships, but Gongming can.
"The violence of Qin has not changed, and the world is still in chaos. Chang'an Jun wants to use the wisdom of various schools of thought to let the emperor know the principles of heaven and act in accordance with the times of heaven.
"However, the general trend of heaven and earth is such that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if one wants to change it. Lord Chang'an has gone through countless hardships and done everything, but he sees that the future has not wavered at all, so that his mind is damaged and he often talks nonsense.
"What Chang'an Jun said before was actually not against heaven, but against the trend.
"Gongming was born rich and noble, and he is willing to follow his heart with his body. He will not regret it even if he dies, but he will always be content with himself in private.
"However, compared with the fact that Lord Chang'an was born in a prince's family and cultivated a benevolent heart, his fame, wealth, power and status were all gone by the passing of time, and his mind and soul were exhausted and unstable, it was nothing at all.
"Gongming is willing to cultivate his mind and cultivate the world with Lord Chang'an."
The cool breeze blows, and the leaves rustle as they are blown.
Ying Chengyu stood in the darkness for a long time, silent and motionless.
Zhao Gongming called out "Mr. Chang'an" twice, but there was no response. There was a trace of doubt on his dark face, and he stood up and approached Ying Chengyu.
As the distance got closer, Ying Cheng's dumbfounded face came into his eyes.
He sighed loudly, with a tone that was partly moved, partly pity, and partly eager to follow suit.
"Alas, Lord Chang'an's illness is getting more and more serious. He is worried about the people of Li and has lost his mind. His anger is chaotic and sluggish."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover the top of Ying Chenglong, using his own energy to guide the chaotic energy in Ying Chenglong's body.
"You are so heartless!"
Ying Chengyu suddenly moved at this time, waved his hand to interrupt, and shouted angrily.
Zhao Gongming stretched out his hand again, insisting on combing Ying Chengyu, and said:
"Mr. Chang'an, don't move. Gongming will help you to be healthy. Most people with short-sightedness don't know it, such as those who are sick and don't believe they are sick."
Ying Chengyu gritted his teeth and got angry. He grabbed Zhao Gongming's outstretched arm and threw him over his shoulder!
"Yes! Sir! No! Sick!"
Although Ying Chengyu's attack was sudden, he didn't use all his strength. With the force Zhao Gongming had shown before, he could have easily dodged it, or he could have quickly turned his body and put his feet on the ground to use his strength to get away, so he shouldn't have been hurt at all.
but.
Bang~
The strong man with a dark face landed on his back, his body bounced up and down twice, and he suffered a solid fall on his back.
Roar~
The tiger roars!
The wind suddenly rises!
Ying Chenglong's hair stood on end!
The danger perception trained for Jing Ke, the best assassin in the world, has reached ten points, second only to the twelve points of the last Yue Nu assassination!
He reached into his arms, holding the pistol in his hand, drew the gun, turned around, stepped back, and pointed the muzzle at the source of the danger - the colorful black tiger!
"No!"
A tall figure suddenly appeared in the muzzle of his gun. It was extremely fast and had dirt and grass clippings on its back. It was Zhao Gongming who had just been thrown down by him.
The tall black tiger landed in front of Zhao Gongming. Under Zhao Gongming's comfort, he bared his fangs and stared at Ying Chengyu with his green-gleaming round pupils.
Ying Chengyu looked at the pair of tiger eyes and once again felt the threat that was similar to human emotions.
"Mr. Chang'an has devoted himself to the sake of the common people, and has done all kinds of things without seeing any changes. He is anxious and worried to the point of losing his mind. He is a saint. Even if Mr. Chang'an beats me to death in the future, you must not take action against Mr. Chang'an. You must protect Mr. Chang'an."
Zhao Gongming held the black tiger's head and said seriously.
Ying Chengyu:......
Putting his finger on the trigger and applying slight pressure, he wanted to shoot.
After burning the incense, Ying Chengyu leaned on the belly of the black tiger whose whole tiger face was written with reluctance, and said softly:
"That's the way it is. Mr. Zhao, don't think about it any more."
During this period of time, Zhao Gongming had already told Ying Chengyu about the approximate direction of where his Qi disappeared. Ying Chengyu knew it was Guiguzi by comparing it with the map in his mind.
He then told Zhao Gongming all the details of the prophecy, including what Guiguzi said and Guiguzi's residence in Pei County.
Zhao Gongming asked for the direction of Peixian County, looked at the direction where the Qi that had just peeked at him disappeared, and nodded silently.
"It turns out that this person is Gui Guzi. I didn't expect him to live for such a long time. Not only is his attainment in Yin Yang magic far higher than mine, but so is the magic of immortality."
Ying Chengyu closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, finally explaining everything.
Zhao Gongming glanced at it at the right time.
[But Chang'an Jun's yin and yang skills are also superb and mysterious. Otherwise, how could he have done so many things in Korea in advance? It is true that his soul was damaged. ]
[Let’s not talk about it anymore, Lord Chang’an obviously hides his illness and avoids medical treatment. I can't complete it, just to make him unhappy. ]
Ying Chengyu can't read minds, so he doesn't know what Zhao Gongming is thinking right now, otherwise he would be in a bad mood, and he would have the idea of killing Zhao Gongming with a shot.
He touched the black tiger's fur, causing the black tiger to grin and show that he had some sense of boundaries.
Ying Chengyu looked into Black Tiger's eyes and smiled:
"You are so big and strong, you will definitely not be able to be killed by a single shot. I will give you the No. 1 spot in the world."
Black Tiger snorted and turned his head proudly.
Zhao Gongming sighed inwardly.
[After reading it, I started talking nonsense again, so I said it was short-sighted. ]
After a one-sided exchange of feelings with Heihu, Ying Chengyu asked about the troubles in his heart.
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhao if you can explain the Onmyoji technique to Cheng Xi in more straightforward terms. Cheng Xi only knows a little bit about it and really can't understand the true meaning of it.
"How do you know the future, and why do you say you know the future but can't change it? For example, if I know that I will be assassinated when I go out tomorrow, wouldn't it be better if I don't go out?"
Zhao Gongming glanced at Ying Chengyu with some confusion, not quite understanding why Ying Chengyu could ask such a question.
This trip to South Korea was combined with the unparalleled remarks that Ying Chengyu said before. He was absolutely certain that the Lord of Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty in front of him was the best in the world in Yin and Yang arts, and even Gui Guzi in Peixian County who had lived for more than two hundred years might not be able to compare with him.
He came out of the mountain to see that the world was in chaos, and to see that the world was in chaos was to deceive Shou Xin.
The Qin State's Wax Festival was held in October, which proves that Ying Chengyu had a glimpse of the secrets and knew about the chaos in the world at least in October, several months ahead of him.
[Are you trying to test my onmyoji skills? See, do I know what is happening but not why, or do I know what is happening but also know why? ]
Zhao Gongming had doubts.
But he made up his mind to practice with the saint and did not say much, but organized the words in his heart.
It is assumed that Ying Chengxuan is a person who knows nothing about Yin Yang Jutsu and has not yet started. Now he wants to use easy-to-understand language to let Ying Chengxuan understand what Yin Yang Jutsu is.
"The traces left by Qi are just like the things a person does. Everyone's mind and body are different. If they do different things, the traces they leave will be different. The secrets of heaven can be detected based on this.
"Just like an ordinary person who eats far more than an ordinary person every day, he will definitely become fat in the long run. The qi of all kinds of grains in these people's bodies will not dissipate. I can see them at a glance and tell them that they are getting fatter. This is a glimpse of the secret.
"Ordinary people think this is miraculous, just because they don't know the truth. Just like people who have never studied medicine can't understand why a doctor's disciple can know physical and mental diseases by taking the pulse with his hand.
"When you enter the Yin-Yang Tao, you will know that this is not magical. The Yin-Yang Tao is more than just looking at the qi and a way of peering into the heavens, but they are all very similar and the principles are the same.
"Mr. Chang'an just said that he will be assassinated tomorrow. I can't get a glimpse of such clear secrets involving personnel. But if there is an expert who can see it, I will tell you to Mr. Chang'an. Mr. Chang'an believes that he really can't escape the assassination by going out. , it just delays the outcome.
"What traces show and where Qi passes, there must be a cause if there is an effect. If the cause is not solved, how can the effect be solved?
"For example, the person who assassinated Lord Chang'an is the enemy of Lord Chang'an. If Lord Chang'an doesn't show up today, he will wait for tomorrow. If Lord Chang'an doesn't show up today, he will wait for the day after tomorrow. As long as he is still alive, there is no way to avoid assassinating Lord Chang'an.
"This is a secret that can't be changed."
Ying Chengyu suddenly realized.
It is no exaggeration to say that he felt enlightened. It has been several months since he got the "Corpse", and today he finally fully understands the principles of Onmyoji, or Corpse Technique.
"Thanks for clearing up the confusion."
He said it sincerely.
Without Zhao Gongming's answer, he felt that even if he read "Zizi" dozens of times, he still wouldn't understand the truth. This is why teachers were so respected in ancient times.
Before, he was like a student who just entered high school and received high school textbooks. Except for a few geniuses, most people have difficulty understanding the textbooks and are self-taught. They must ask a teacher to explain.
A good teacher can save students from many detours and lead them directly to the road to heaven.
[But that’s not right. If Onmyoji was so powerful, not to mention avoiding the war of aggression against China in modern history, at least the witchcraft disaster of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years should not have happened. ]
Ying Chengyu didn't believe that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as the lord of the world, did not have any profound disciples of Yin and Yang Dao around him. In ancient times, the person who was at the pinnacle of a field might not be beside the emperor, but there must be someone close to the pinnacle in the field beside the emperor.
"As Mr. Zhao said, if I kill the assassin, my life will be changed."
Zhao Gongming nodded.
"Yes, this is a small section.
“The general trend is irreversible, but the small details are changeable.”
[Sure enough, there is more. ]
Ying Chengqiu humbly asked for advice.
"Then what is the general trend?"
Zhao Gongming said loudly:
"I will still use the example of Chang'an Jun being assassinated.
"The general trend in this case is that Lord Chang'an died in an assassination.
“The cycle of cause and effect, the cause of one thing is also the effect of other things.
"The reason why Chang'an Lord has enemies seeking revenge and assassination is the result, and the reason why the enemy came is the cause. If this reason is that Chang'an Lord has a murderous temperament, then Chang'an Lord kills so many people, there will not be only one enemy.
"If Lord Chang'an kills this assassin, there will be another assassin. As long as Lord Chang'an's temperament remains unchanged and he keeps killing, he will eventually die at the hands of the assassin.
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. There are few people who can't change their character due to major events. Even if Lord Chang'an has an epiphany and changes his character. If he is dedicated to good and his hands are not stained with blood, then he will not seek revenge on those he killed before. ?
"The people I killed before come to seek revenge. Chang'an Jun feels guilty and doesn't kill the assassins. Maybe he can move one or two assassins, but can he move all of them? There will eventually be assassins who continue to kill.
"Mr. Chang'an died in an assassination. This is the general trend and cannot be changed."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gongming felt deeply and felt sadness in his heart, and his whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
The dark-faced man looked up at the stars, closed his eyes, and shed tears.
"If one person is like this, what will happen to the world? How can the common people deserve this?"
