Chapter 23: The Real Person Revealed
It was dark and drizzling.
Suzhou is a big city, but the streets outside are lifeless at this moment.
Similarly, the atmosphere in Zhu Daxian's fortune-telling shop was particularly tense.
When Zhu Daxian angrily said that what Fang Yi gave was "dead person's information".
Xiaoli, who was sweeping the floor, shuddered, and then looked suddenly at the young man sitting there calmly.
Fang Yi had a calm expression on his face, but in his heart he was slightly impressed by the fact that Zhu Daxian was indeed a man of real talent and knowledge.
Ever since he cultivated the golden elixir and cut off his connection with the universe, he is indeed not a "living person".
At least from the perspective of fate, he is not a "living person".
But from a biological point of view, I am still a lively person.
But he didn't know whether what Zhu Daxian said was just random guessing or real knowledge, so he needed to test it out.
Fang Yi remained calm, "Oh? Master Zhu, what do you mean by that?"
Xiaoli stopped sweeping the floor and just stood there listening.
Zhu Daxian was a little excited, spitting saliva and said, "Your birth day pillar is the wall earth, the five elements are strong fire and strong earth, lacking metal and water, the day master heavenly stem is earth, born in summer, from the day stem and branch level, Ji Mao is the lowest sitting killer cut off, it is the worst day, people born in Ji Mao are prone to disability, injury, and lifelong hardship. As the saying goes, if the year is Ji Mao, the ancestors are disabled and did not die well; if the month is Ji Mao, the parents will not reunite; and you are Ji Mao in the day, according to the eight-character numerology, it is speculated that your life will be in danger in your youth."
Fang Yi smiled and said, "Eight characters are not necessarily accurate."
Zhu Daxian sneered, "The eight characters may not be accurate, but combined with your name, it is very accurate. Analyzing from your name, the three elements of earth and water are very bad. The personality is simply commented on as: wind and clouds cover the sun, and you have to work hard. Although you have wisdom, you will encounter setbacks in everything. Your health fortune is wind and clouds covering the moon, which is a sign of illness, punishment, killing, and short life. Only those who are born with the five elements of gold and water can expect good health. But I said before that your five elements lack gold and water. Judging from your name and birth date, you should die young."
Fang Yi admired it a little, "That doesn't mean anything."
"Birthdates are not scientific, and they may not be accurate." Zhu Daxian agreed with Fang Yi at first, then narrowed his eyes, "Then take a look at my King Wen's hexagram!"
After saying this, he pointed to the order in which the coins were arranged on the table.
Fang Yi looked and saw that the six hexagrams were Yin Yao, Yang Yao, Yin Yao, Yin Yao, Yin Yao and Yang Yao respectively.
Zhu Daxian's eyes became sharp, "This is the Water Thunder Tun hexagram, tangled silk without a beginning. Tun means things are just born and have not met, so it looks like tangled silk without a beginning. It's a machine operator dropping silk outside, and suddenly a strong wind blew, messing up the silk. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the beginning. The person who gets this hexagram is confused and has a hard time getting well from illness! Combined with the name and birth date you gave, it's the sign of a dead person. Tell me, what's your intention in playing tricks on me like this?"
Xiaoli's eyes also turned cold. After listening to her master's analysis, she also thought that Fang Yi was here to cause trouble.
Judging from the fortune-telling by Zhu Daxian, this man is worthy of being from a Taoist family and he does have some real skills.
As expected, it was the person I was looking for.
Fang Yi became even more interested and wanted to find out whether the other party's ancestors had left behind any magical powers.
He thought for a moment and said honestly, "Master Zhu, the name and birth date I gave you are true. I came to see you today because..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhu Daxian shook his head in a funny way and interrupted, "You still don't admit it? Alas, young people nowadays, I have exposed it to your face, but you are still pretending to be so? Do you think people with this kind of fate will have a chance to sit in front of me? Even if they don't die young, they usually suffer from many illnesses and difficulties. Look at you, you are as strong as an ox, how can you be like someone with this kind of fate?"
"Yes, people with my fate should be like what you said." Fang Yi admitted it first, then said: "But haven't you heard that the real person does not show his appearance? "Zhuangzi: The Great Master" says: The real person in ancient times did not dream when he slept, did not worry when he woke up, did not eat sweet food, and breathed deeply. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, he should be different from ordinary people. Life and death are up to oneself, not heaven. How can the birth date and hexagram predict the birth, aging, illness and death of the real person?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. Once he did, Zhu Daxian was so angry that he laughed, "You mean your cultivation is as high as that of the ancient immortals?"
Fang Yi said frankly: "Of course."
This statement was not a lie, because he had cultivated the golden elixir, and in a sense, he was indeed no different from the ancient sages.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Daxian was speechless.
Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh.
What are the true people of ancient times?
It is said in Tao Te Ching that "If one cultivates this in oneself, his virtue will be true."
Therefore, cultivating oneself and cultivating immortality are also called cultivating the truth, and enlightenment is called "enlightenment of the truth."
Truth is another name for Tao.
Taoists call those who preserve their nature or achieve enlightenment through self-cultivation as true people, and also generally refer to those who have become immortals. They are extraordinary beings who understand the mysteries of the universe and comprehend life and death.
Throughout human history, there are only a handful of such people.
For example, Laozi, Ge Xuan, Zhongli Quan, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Ziyang and others, these people lived so far away from us that their authenticity cannot be verified at all.
The only real person who can be verified in historical records is Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang Sect, but he was also born before the Ming Dynasty.
Others may not know the secrets of cultivation, but how could Zhu Daxian, as the descendant of a Taoist family, not know some secrets?
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, an earth-shaking event occurred. From then on, there was no hope for practicing Taoism and all immortals disappeared.
According to the original words circulated within Taoism, it is impossible for anyone else in the world to attain enlightenment.
Indeed, hundreds of years have passed and there are no more real people in the world.
This is a matter of final conclusion.
And now a young boy comes up to him and says he is a real person?
Zhu Daxian really thought it was ridiculous. He was even angry and felt that Fang Yi did not respect the saints. He said in a cold tone: "Young man, don't talk nonsense!"
Fang Yi was not annoyed at all, because he knew how much importance the Taoists attached to the word "real person". He asked, "How can you believe what I say?"
Zhu Daxian was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so he stood up and waved his hand unhappily, "Xiao Li, get out!"
"Yes, Master."
Xiaoli leaned the broom against the corner, looked at Fang Yi, raised her hand and said, "Sir, please go out!"
Fang Yi wanted to explain further, and gave an example: "Master Zhu, please believe me. When you treat patients, aren't you also using medicine to replace Taoism? The prescription you just gave was..."
He wanted to express that we should not judge things by appearances.
But Zhu Daxian couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. "Using medicine instead of Taoism is to make superstitious people feel at ease to accept drug treatment. Besides, I am not practicing medicine illegally. I have a medical license. You can report it and have someone come to check it out!"
Fang Yi smiled and said, "I didn't mean to report it, but to give an example."
"Don't give any examples, just get out!" Zhu Daxian started to chase them away.
Xiao Li narrowed her eyes and said, "Sir, if you don't leave, I will call the police!"
Fang Yi knew that if he didn't show off his skills, he would have no way of knowing whether the other party had any inherited magic skills, so he had to make the other party believe him.
He sighed deliberately and said, "Alas, people in this world are ignorant and only look at appearances. It seems that you will not believe me unless I show you my magic skills."
They are still talking nonsense at this time. Xiaoli and Zhu Daxian are really famous.
Especially Xiaoli, who received the order from her master, didn't intend to waste any more time talking to Fang Yi. She took out her cell phone and called the police to drive him away.
However, just as she took out her cell phone and had no time to dial, a shocking scene happened!
Fang Yi just stretched out his hand, and a peony flower appeared out of thin air!
Xiaoli's eyes suddenly widened and she stopped dialing!
Zhu Daxian sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Fang Yi with disbelief, his eyes filled with shock!
