How can this be? This world has long since lost its spiritual power. How can it be possible to be immortal and live as long as heaven and earth? Do these people think they are stupid?
"Thank you all for your kindness, masters. I have already joined the Taoist sect and have no plans to change the sect. I only accept your kindness." Chen Fan said, cupping his hands.
"Chen Fasheng, you are thinking that it has been very difficult for this world to enter the innate world for thousands of years, let alone the life of heaven and earth. You know, the key to leaving all things with a glimmer of hope is whether we can grasp it. What we are talking about is the relationship between heaven and earth. It is a method of Tongshou, but whether it can be practiced depends on the individual." Mei Er continued.
"Just because you join the Taoist sect, it does not affect your membership in my sect. Our sect does not involve teaching concepts, but helps people with divination. You only need to learn the art of divination. It does not conflict with your practice." Mei Da followed.
"Divination is just a small skill. Chen Fasheng, after listening to our practice method just now, did you feel full of energy and refreshed?" Fan Zheng was full of confidence in Chen Fasheng, who had already mastered the method of cause and effect and realized the wonders of the soul. said.
This Fan Zheng did not recite this "Tianlun" for no reason, but because of eight words: "Chen Yixin is the first line between life and death." Fan Zheng has a good friend named Xing Suanzi, who is in charge of Tianjian and is a third-rank official. Proficient in the Book of Changes and good at divination, he was a master of arithmetic no less than the three elders of Meishan.
Fan Zheng built a secret room to enshrine the portrait of the sage Xunzi. The reason why he built the secret room was because in front of the portrait was placed the Confucian and Taoist scripture "Tian Lun". This "Lun of Heaven" is not a handwritten version, but handwritten by the sage Xunzi himself. Three days ago, Fan Zheng was worshiping in the secret room as usual. Suddenly, the portrait he enshrined moved without any wind, and the "Tianlun" fell off the altar. This shocked him, and he immediately calculated a hexagram, and the result was a big disaster. Hexagram, but the specific reason could not be calculated, so he had to ask the star fortune teller to help him create a hexagram, and he got these eight characters.
Originally, he had no idea what these eight characters actually meant. But after Chen Fan wrote the poem "Bamboo", he suddenly thought that "Chen Yi Xin" did not necessarily mean removing the old and returning it to the new, but pointed out the personal surname. Chen's people? With this idea in mind, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was that he thought it was possible, so he did some calculations secretly, but unfortunately it was still in chaos with no results. However, this did not affect his guess. Regardless of Chen Fasheng's Chen or the novelty of the poem, Fan Zheng felt that Chen Fan had a close relationship with the eight-character prophecy, so he decided to take action and bring him into his sect.
"Brother Fan, why did you use the law of cause and effect just now? The four of us were trapped in the cause and effect of karma. If the three of us hadn't discovered it early and worked together to interrupt your charming voice, everyone would have been harmed by you without knowing it. ." Mei Da asked angrily.
"Chen Fasheng, the "Lun" he recited just now is true, but he recited it with the sound of cause and effect. After people listen to it, they will unknowingly lose their nature, inherit the great cause and effect, and cannot transcend. However, he was also read by us just now. Heavy damage, don't be fooled by him." Mei Er took over.
"If you don't believe it, we can teach you a method to test whether his voice just now is harmful, and you will know by just calculating." Mei San followed.
"You let him test whether it is harmful, why not let him test whether it is beneficial? This law of cause and effect is about dependent origination and cessation. If he is predestined with me, it will naturally be dependent and good and bad will depend on each other. If there is no predestined relationship, what is the harm in this cessation of cause and effect? ? To say it is harmful, does it mean that your arithmetic has no disadvantages? " Fan Zheng retorted.
"This is different. There are disadvantages in Tianji arithmetic, which does not mean it is harmful. As long as it is used well, harm can be avoided." Mei Da replied.
"Whether it's harmless or harmful, this is a personal choice. How can it be confused with your forced buying and selling?" Mei Eryan said.
"Chen Fasheng, you also heard that Fan Zheng also admitted that the Dafa he just performed was harmful. This person cannot be trusted." Mei San reminded Chen Fan.
"Is there any solution to this law of cause and effect?" This was the first time Chen Fan had heard of what the law of cause and effect was, and he asked out of curiosity.
"The fate is eliminated by the law." Fan Zheng replied.
Chen Faxiang, Meishan and the others looked at them and saw that they were frowning and did not refute Fan Zheng's words. They knew that what he said was true, but they just didn't know how to eliminate the fate? However, this kind of thing is too mysterious. Chen Fan has carefully checked himself and found no abnormalities, so he is not entangled at the moment.
"Masters, it is an honor for Fa Sheng to get to know you. Otherwise, tomorrow I will set up a banquet at Tianfeng Tower and invite everyone to a banquet. What do you think, masters?" In the palace, the guards are not around. He didn't have any weapons on him, so Chen Fan decided to talk about it tomorrow.
"That's fine, but the three of us were seriously injured today. I wonder if Fasheng can give us a ride?" Mei Da replied.
"The old man is the one who was most seriously injured. The three of you joined forces and damaged my consciousness. I don't have much time left to live. Why do you have to fight with me?" Fan Zheng retorted.
The expressions of the three of them darkened, but Mei Da immediately became alert. How could he be overflowing with sympathy at this time? He was the victim. This law of cause and effect is really powerful. He immediately said: "You were the one who struck first. The three of us were injured, but they are no better than you." No, I just didn’t expect that Brother Fan, who I have always respected, would actually take action when we were unprepared.”
"No, I never thought of harming the three of you. This is originally beneficial and harmless to the three of you. Why should you be persistent?"
"In this case, wouldn't it be better if Brother Fan let go of his attachments and enjoy the joy of the countryside?" Mei Er said.
"I'm already in my twilight years. I can't have any fun. Let's do this. I won't go to the banquet tomorrow. How about letting Fa Sheng see me off today?" Fan Zheng insisted.
"It's better that we don't go tomorrow, let Fa Sheng see us off," Mei San said.
"That's fine." Fan Zheng agreed readily.
The three of them were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Fan Zheng to agree so readily, and they felt like they had been cheated.
"Chen Fasheng, since the three Meishan brothers won't be coming tomorrow, let's not hold this banquet. How about we have a chat at my home?" Fan Zheng then suggested to Chen Fan.
"Okay, I will definitely bother the master then." It is a lie to say that he is not moved by "Tian Lun". Chen Fan did not feel whether the sound played by Fan Zheng was harmful. However, even if the sound used by Fan Zheng is harmful, it does not mean that "Tian Lun" is harmful. "On" is harmful. If he could get some reference, Chen Fan would still be very willing.
After making an appointment with Master Fan on a time and place, Chen Fan immediately escorted the three elders of Meishan away.
On the carriage, Mei Da introduced the development history of Tianji Pavilion to Chen Fan.
"My Tianji Pavilion was established when the world first opened. Up to now, it has been passed down for 820 generations. I am the 821st Pavilion Master. One thousand and five hundred years ago, King Wu of Zhou conquered the merchants. The Zhou Dynasty was established. It is said that due to the war, the heaven and earth were angered. From then on, the spiritual energy began to decrease, the immortals left one after another, and the Tianji Diagram, the most precious treasure of my Tianji Pavilion, also lost its effectiveness. Without the help of the Tianji Diagram, the Tianji arithmetic became the same as ordinary There was not much difference in the calculations, and errors began to appear in the deduction of the future, causing Tianji Pavilion to decline day by day."
"Chen Fasheng, I wonder if you can join my Tianji Pavilion?" After a pause, Mei Da looked at Chen Fan and asked solemnly.
"Even if there are not many people who want to join Tianji Pavilion, there should be quite a few. I wonder why the Pavilion Master likes me?"
"Because you are destined to the Tianji Diagram. We did not appear in the Prince Yuzhang's Mansion today for no reason, but the hexagram showed that people who are destined to the Tianji Diagram appeared in the Prince Yuzhang's Mansion today, and that's why we appeared there. Fortunately, we finally If you gain something, you will be the one to find the destined person."
"I'm afraid I will disappoint the master. The reason why I wrote the poem today is not true. I didn't read the words from the picture, but I guessed it. Please forgive Fa Sheng for deception." Chen Fan decided to stick with it. It's better to tell the truth than to be caught lying to them later.
"But you guessed it right!" Mei Da said something that shocked Chen Fan. Originally, Mei Er and Mei San were a little disappointed when Chen Fan said they couldn't see the words in the picture, but they were also surprised when Mei Da said this.
"'Learn Yi Li, break through the profound entrance, and become a semi-immortal!' Even my two brothers don't know this sentence. It was passed down orally by my previous pavilion masters. The last line shown on this heavenly secret map is this line. When you said you saw some 'hidden' and 'immortal', I was still a little disappointed, but when you said these words, there was no doubt in my heart."
"Then what does Master need me to do to join Tianji Pavilion?"
"Learn the Tianji arithmetic from my Tianji Pavilion and pass it on."
"Okay, but I don't tell people's fortunes. I hope the master will allow it." Chen Fan feels that learning Tianji arithmetic with the help of "Cheng Ying" will not take long, but if people tell fortunes, it will consume brain power and labor. If you delay your practice, you won't be able to do it.
"Okay, this is up to you, but you have to maintain the operation of Tianji Pavilion and not let it collapse."
"I can only guarantee that when I am here, I will try my best to protect it. But if I am not here, such as breaking the void and leaving, I can only rely on the descendants." Chen Fan felt that it would be better to make it clear. His goal is to cultivate immortality. Don't be caught up in mundane things.
"It's natural, as long as it doesn't break in your hands."
"Fa Sheng meets the Pavilion Master." Chen Fan immediately saluted and paid homage to Mei Da.
"Very good." Mei Da accepted Chen Fan's salute and continued: "Meishan has arrived. You can come to my door today and pay homage to the ancestors of all generations." Strike while the iron is hot. Mei Da doesn't want to waste his time, just in case. It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened at Fan Zheng's house tomorrow, so he insisted on taking care of his injuries and held a ceremony for Chen Fan to enter the cabinet.
As the night grew darker, the autumn moon shed silver-white moonlight in the sky. Chen Fan, who formally bowed into Tianji Pavilion, led his bodyguards to leave Meishan under the bright moonlight after the ceremony and returned to the inn.
"Chen Langjun, I am the housekeeper of Yushifu. I wonder if Langjun still remembers me?" As soon as he entered the inn, a man stepped out from the side and greeted Chen Fan, followed by Zhang Ke and Hou Feng. Since the carriage could not fit in the carriage, Chen Fan went to Meishan with only the three brothers of the Hu family who were riding horses.
"Butler Shen, of course you remember, why are you still coming to the inn so late?" Chen Fan was quite impressed by the butler in his uncle's house.
"On the order of the master of the family, the doctor is invited to rest at home. The master came to the capital to take the exam. Before, he stayed in an inn for the convenience of studying in Guozi. Now that the exam is over, why can't he stay with his relatives? The master of the family asked me to stay today Be sure to welcome your husband into the house.
"I appreciate uncle's kindness, but I still have to learn chess later. It's convenient to go to Guozi to learn, so I won't bother you."
"Don't bother me. The master of the house has said that if you don't want to go, he will come and invite you in person."
"I came back late today. It's already getting late. Let's talk about it another day." Chen Fan didn't know his uncle's real intention, and at the same time he was a little surprised why he suddenly became so enthusiastic, so he continued to decline.
"It's just because it's getting late, so Lang Jun has to move. You're embarrassed to let the head of the family come over so late, right?"
"What did uncle say?"
"If Lang Jun refuses to come, just tell Lang Jun and he will come to invite you in person. Also, the head of the family has ordered people to prepare four upper rooms, which happen to be in a cross-yard. Ask Lang Jun to move in with your entourage. In the past. Oh, and there’s another saying, it’s more convenient to live at home than outside.”
Does my uncle think it's dangerous for me to live outside? After hearing the last sentence, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped insisting, ordered his people to pack up the salutes, and went to his uncle's house.
