The following sections almost entirely record the principles of fate, physiognomy, and divination, as well as an in-depth analysis of the laws governing the operation of time.
The so-called "fate" is to understand life by reasoning about destiny.
A person's fortune in life can be summarized by the word "fate".
The so-called defying fate means using unnatural methods to resist the natural order and destiny in order to achieve one's own goals, but this approach is extremely undesirable.
After all, what kind of destiny a person has is predetermined by Heaven in the dark.
Seeing this, I suddenly recalled examples mentioned in history books of people trying to defy fate.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang once fantasized about using the Seven Star Lamp to defy fate and change the historical situation of the Three Kingdoms by altering his own destiny.
In the end, however, the Seven Star Lamp went out, and fate prevailed. This led to the famous saying that fate is beyond human control.
The main method of divination is based on the time of a person's birth and the theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
It can be used to view good and bad fortune, and by changing the astrological nodes within it, one can achieve the purpose of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
The so-called destiny refers to the major events that are bound to happen in a person's life. Such a destiny is almost impossible to change by external forces.
Just like a script written by a screenwriter, minor modifications can be made to the details.
However, once the main storyline is disrupted, the entire story will collapse and will never be the same again.
There will only be one outcome: destruction!
I couldn't help but gasp.
Someone like Zhuge Liang must have known about the principles of destiny, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to prolong his life.
But even though he knew that utter ruin awaited him, he still wanted to seize that sliver of hope.
To do something that defies the will of the world!
What an incredible magnanimity!
"Devoting oneself to the cause until death" is far from enough to describe Zhuge Liang's firm determination!
I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
It turns out that the knowledge I learned wasn't only needed for exams.
At the same time, as I learn new knowledge, I unconsciously integrate it with my previous knowledge.
In this way, a completely new understanding will emerge!
Fate is only a single word, but its mystery is as vast as the stars in the sky, with no end in sight.
It can never be observed by humans!
It's right there, yet it represents a height that no one can ever reach in their lifetime.
Uncle Ma told me that I only need to remember the beginning of the content and don't need to over-understand it.
Perhaps he felt that the knowledge contained in this book was completely beyond my reach.
But that's true. I can only grasp the general meaning of the book's contents; I can't understand the underlying principles at all.
It's like a watermelon being placed in front of me.
I can only observe its appearance, but I cannot know what it contains.
Like opening a blind box, knowledge kept flooding into my mind, a feeling that made me both curious and excited.
This kind of knowledge might be dry and boring to others.
However, I have always had an inexplicable affinity for books.
Given the current situation, there is an extreme urgency regarding methods for practicing incantations and spells.
Driven by different beliefs, I became increasingly fascinated by its content.
Slowly, I turned the pages again.
As expected, the contents of the photograph were recorded on it.
The term "appearance" includes five types: appearance of seal, appearance of name, appearance of person, appearance of family, and appearance of tomb.
A method of observing shapes and forms.
The use of "seal appearance" to judge destiny is similar to observing ancient emperors, who were said to have the appearance of an emperor. Although this cannot be verified, some people will always believe it.
Name analysis involves using a person's name to calculate their destiny and find ways to change their fate.
So, people who change their names are probably seeking a change in their names.
However, physiognomy is divided into two main categories: facial features and palmistry.
By observing the lines and complexion on the face and hands, one can discern a person's fortune, misfortune, or pathological condition.
Face reading focuses on the face, while palm reading focuses on the palm, thus predicting good or bad fortune.
When Uncle Ma first read my fortune, he observed my face first, and then my hands.
Looking at it this way, some things seem quite reasonable.
However, home feng shui, also known as residential feng shui, refers to the feng shui of a dwelling.
To observe its pattern and conduct analysis.
This allows us to infer whether there are factors in their residence that are unsuitable for human habitation.
Grave site selection, or Yin house feng shui, is a technique used to provide protection for future generations by selecting a burial site for ancestors.
Furthermore, the phenomena are extremely complex, and one can achieve omniscience and omnipotence simply by observing and observing their evolution.
This is why the uncle said he could determine a person's good or evil with just one glance.
It must be related to the people involved.
Those who appear on TV and offer feng shui advice for people's homes and tombs solve problems by using the feng shui of the house or tomb.
I used to think this thing was mysterious and profound. I even invited a feng shui master to take a look when I bought my own house.
Although it's unclear whether it actually worked, a large number of people viewed this matter with the mentality of "better safe than sorry."
Looking further down,
Naturally, the last of the five arts is divination.
Although it consists of only two short strokes, it encapsulates the inevitable outcome of the future.
Including divination, auspicious date selection, and horoscope analysis, the purpose of all these is to predict and deal with things.
Divination, in essence, involves combining the interplay between the three realms of Heaven, Man, and Earth to predict good or bad fortune.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but think of this, which is also a word most often used by charlatans: fortune telling!
Of course, there are people who truly understand this art of prediction.
But I certainly don't believe that the old man sitting there every fifty meters on the street collecting twenty yuan could have such an incredible skill.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.
However, choosing an auspicious date involves combining layout, arrangement, and talismans to address unfavorable factors in the development of things…
The rest of the text is illegible due to the book's age.
Before I knew it, I had finished reading the 20 pages that the uncle had told me to remember.
Although my main purpose was to learn how to draw symbols, for some reason, the uncle made me memorize the first 20 pages, all the content.
The following are almost entirely unrelated to drawing talismans.
But it was only then that I realized that my mind had gradually become deeply attracted by the contents of the book.
It even made me forget why I originally opened this book.
It was as if an invisible hand was gradually pushing me, step by step, into the world of the book!
