The group of people left the Western Kingdom and took the road eastward through Kyoto. There were many checkpoints on the way, there were many taxes, thieves appeared in large numbers, and there were many hard battles. Fortunately, Song Xing protected them, and they were able to escape any danger.
Rising early and staying late at night, the carriages and horses were turbulent. Although the journey was difficult, under Song Xing's supervision, Lu Jian did not give up on literacy and martial arts.
As for practicing martial arts, Lu Jian felt empty whenever he wasted a day. Although he knew the shortcomings of the Black Sky Book, he still couldn't stop practicing. He only hoped that Song Xingzhen could remove the Black Sky Tribulation for him as he said before.
After practicing the Seven Meridians of Suzaku, and then the Seven Meridians of Genbu, when he arrived at the border of Owari Kingdom, he had reached the purple micro-vessel of Miyaki Imperial Vein, and the strange feeling in his hands became more and more obvious as he practiced that.
If you touch the cows and horses, you will know whether the blood flow of the cows and horses is slow and whether they are tired; if you touch the trees, you will know whether the sap in the trees is flowing, whether they are dry or prosperous.
On this day, we finally arrived at Seisu Castle in Owari Province. Although the scale of Seisu Castle is far smaller than that of Saikuni and Kyoto, as the largest city in Owari Province that has been run by the guardian family for nearly a hundred years, its strong defenses and economic prosperity are not comparable to Owari's. It is comparable to other cities in the country.
There were many samurai training in the castle town. When they saw the convoy, they all shouted with joy. They threw away their spears and ran towards the cage. Uzaemon quickly ordered his followers to surround the cage to prevent the opponent from stealing it.
Uzaemon had the best water skills among the Owari samurai, was good at sailing, and was also proficient in Chinese. Therefore, Owari's noble retainers invested money and entrusted him to go to China for smuggling trade. Uzaemon has worked hard for a year and has not returned yet.
The warriors took a look at a few treasures, opened their eyes, and dispersed in a moment.
Uzaemon said to Song Xing: "Sir, please come with me to the city first. After I tell the lord, you are so talented, the lord will personally come to invite you."
Song Xing refused, ignored Uzaemon, and left directly with Lu Jian.
Song Xing was extremely smart. He paid attention to learning and speaking the Japanese language when he came to Japan. When he arrived in Qingzhou, he was already proficient in it. He had gold and silver captured from the pirates. He bought a house in the city and hung a "Gui Zang Suan Guan" in front of the house. 'Signboard, started a fortune-telling business.
He was proficient in Yili, and there were many stupid and straightforward people among the Japanese people. However, seeing that although Song Xing was blind, he was still successful in calculations. He came and went, and he actually regarded him as a god. In order to ask for a hexagram, they came to pay nanometers one after another.
In just a few days, Song Xing's reputation as a divine calculator became famous in Qingzhou City, and even the noble warriors of Qingzhou City sent people to come.
Song Xing, however, treated everyone equally and only calculated ten hexagrams every day. Whether you were a warrior or a commoner, if you wanted to have your fortune told, you had to come to the fortune teller in person.
As for Song Xing's fortune-telling, not just anyone can do it. In his words, those who are not predestined will not be counted. And the hexagram gold varies from person to person, it may be a few copper plates, or a tael of gold and silver, or a bowl of brown rice, or a sea fish.
The more Song Xing behaved like this, the more these Japanese people believed in him, so more and more people came to watch his fortune telling every day.
On this day, it was raining heavily and no one was seen on the street. The business in the fortune-telling parlor finally became deserted.
After Lu Jian finished cleaning the hotel, he looked up and saw that Song Xing had walked to the door at some point and was looking up into the dark night.
Lu Jian secretly wondered, because Song Xing had predicted this rainstorm three days ago, and even the time was exactly right.
This made him even more curious about the Emperor's Qi-seeing Technique practiced by Song Xing, a secret skill of Dongdao that Song Xing said was a skill that could be used to compete with Zhou Liuliu's virtual skill after it was mastered.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask."
As if he could feel the gaze behind him, Song Xing spoke slowly.
A flash of red flashed across Lu Jian's dark face, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm just curious, sir, why can you predict the weather so accurately? Is it also because of divination?"
During this period of time, he followed Song Xing to manage the arithmetic shop, witnessed Song Xing's miraculous hexagram skills with his own eyes, and was already convinced of his ability.
Song Xing lifted up his robe and sat cross-legged on the threshold. He turned around and asked Lu Jian to sit next to him.
Lu Jian put down his things, quickly came to the door, sat down on the ground, and looked at Song Xing.
He vaguely felt that Song Xing's eyes seemed to be brighter and more transparent than before, like two black gems, living up to the darkness and darkness before.
"You want to learn my divination skills?"
Song Xingzhi turned his head and stared at Lu Jian's face, and asked with a smile.
Lu Jian was a little at a loss, but he still nodded and said: "I think this is very powerful. It seems that there is nothing wrong in the world, which cannot be calculated with these few copper coins."
Song Xing said: "The art of divination has been passed down from ancient times. There are three Yis in Taidivination Palm. One is called Lianshan, the second is called Guizang, and the third is called Zhouyi. The hexagrams in the scriptures are all eight, and the others are all sixty-four. It is a pity that only the Zhouyi remains in later generations, and Lianshan and Guizang are rarely recorded or have been lost."
"Divination methods include Plum Blossom Yi Count, Six Yao Prediction, Qi Men Dun Jia, Four Pillar Prediction, Pan Pan, Three Generations Book and other methods. They are complex and changeable. Now you still have difficulty in literacy and reading. If you want to learn the Yi Jing, you still have to do it. It’s not yet time.”
Song Xing learned the Yi hexagram from the legacy of his ancestor Chen Tuan. Lu Jian was simple-minded, and he did not mind passing on his experience of the Yi hexagram.
But people's hearts are fickle, and the law is not taught lightly. The harder it is, the more people will cherish it. On the contrary, those things that can be obtained easily are often abandoned by others.
Seeing that Lu Jian was a little disappointed, Song Xing changed the subject and said: "The Emperor's Qi-seeing Technique is not a divination method as you think. No matter how magical it is, it is also a martial art, but it incorporates the principles of the I Ching and Bagua. It is not a mastery. People who are easy to understand, even if the secret book is placed in front of you, you will not be able to learn it."
Lu Jian was surprised: "Can martial arts really see through the changes in the world and predict the weather?"
Song Xing sneered and said: "Forecasting the weather is no more than a trivial matter. An ordinary farmer can predict the weather a few hours later."
"Dong Dao's Turtle Mirror Technique can spy on people's hearts, and the Six Yao Dragon Pointing Technique uses innate Yili to predict the opponent's weaknesses. The Emperor's Qi Reading Technique can even see through the opponent's Qi, and glimpse the changes of the three talents. The various changes are not comparable to ordinary martial arts. .”
Lu Jian was startled: "Seeing through people's hearts? Isn't that a witchcraft?"
Song Xing nodded: "In the eyes of ordinary people, this turtle mirror magical power is indeed no different from the magic power."
After hearing about the magical martial arts on the Middle East Island in Song Xingkou, Lu Jian couldn't help but yearn for it.
Song Xing seemed to have seen through Lu Jian's thoughts and said without mercy: "With your talent and temperament, if you can read the Yi Zang thoroughly, you may be able to see through the Six Yao Dragon Pointing Technique. As for the Turtle Mirror Technique and the Emperor's Qi Reading Technique, If you want to learn the art successfully, it is extremely difficult."
Lu Jian was quite convinced by what Song Xing said. He also knew that he was stupid. He could only recognize more than a hundred characters so far. If he wanted to learn as much knowledge as Song Xing, it would be even more difficult to climb to the sky and keep his head down without saying a word.
Song Xing thought he didn't believe it, so he pointed out: "All the martial arts in the East Island have their own subtleties. The turtle mirror technique is among the top martial arts even in the East Island, and it is extremely difficult to practice."
"This technique was born out of the poor scholar Gong Yangyu's Sancai Guiyuan Palm Mirror Mind Consciousness, and the Buddhist School's Invisible Mind Method. It can penetrate the human heart. There are only a few people in the world who can restrain their own memories, so this magical power has endless uses. , no one with a delicate mind can understand it.”
Lu Jian was completely indifferent to what Song Xing said about the mirror mind and its helplessness and formlessness. He was shocked to hear that the turtle mirror had the magical power to see through people's thoughts.
"If that's the case, wouldn't this turtle mirror technique be the most powerful martial arts in the East Island?"
When Lu Jian thought about it, if he practiced the turtle mirror technique and competed with others, but before the opponent made a move, he could feel the thoughts in his mind and find out what the opponent was thinking. How could the opponent be his opponent?
Song Xing sneered: "If you meet an opponent who can control your thoughts, how do you know that what you spy is not the enemy's deliberate attempt to confuse you?"
In the past three hundred years, there have been many prodigies who have mastered the art of turtle mirror in the East Island, but no one can defeat the authentic lineage of the island king, and that is why.
Hearing this, Lu Jian said with great interest, "Sir, could it be that the Emperor's Qi-seeing Technique that you practice is the most powerful secret skill in the East Island?"
At this point, Lu Jian's heart moved, and then he remembered that Song Xing seemed to be from the West City, but he knew the Kung Fu of the East Island. He couldn't help but feel surprised, and heard Song Xing say:
"The contemporary Lord of the West City has practiced Zhou Liu Liuxu Gong. He chased and killed the King of the East Island three times, but he escaped with the Emperor's Qi Technique every time. He is naturally powerful."
In Lu Jian's mind, Song Xing had already implanted the idea that Zhou Liuxu was the most powerful. Hearing that the king of the East Island could defeat Zhou Liuxu, he sincerely admired him and said, "This person can create the Emperor's Qi Watching Technique." The King of the East Island is also a strange person."
Song Xing smiled and said, "The emperor's qi-gazing technique was not created by Gu Shentong."
