C190 Observing the Secrets of the Heavens
"Since you know what I'm going to do, then you should know that I won't be sitting here listening to you for long. Once the target appears, I'll leave immediately. So you'd better not waste your time talking nonsense. It won't do you or me any good. "
Qin Yunyi withdrew his gaze from the window and said calmly. From the young priest's sudden appearance until now, he had finally regained the initiative to talk.
"Are you not surprised that I know what you want to do?" The shocked expression on the young Taoist priest's face slowly recovered, but he still asked unwillingly.
"Why would I be surprised? The geomancy technique has existed since ancient times, and it can be traced back to the ancestor of the Human Sovereign Realm, the Fuxi Great Sovereign. After the first generation of Saint Lord, King Wen, Ji Chang, perfected and deduced it to perfection. The things that the ancestor had accumulated for thousands of years had their own profundities, and since you are the descendant of the orthodox geomancy technique, you are not one of those scammers. Then what is there to be able to perform some divination? But this is useless to me. "
Qin Yunyi shrugged and said indifferently," If you're just guessing what might happen. . . It means nothing to me. The cycle of heaven and earth has its own cause and effect. Since it is destined to happen, then. . . Even if I can hide for a while, I can't hide for the rest of my life. Fate has always been an invisible hand. It will keep stirring up chaos. As long as you failed to alter your destiny and change your destiny. . . To plot against the heavens. Even if you're able to predict a moment of fortune and misfortune, it doesn't count as the Great Dao. "
The young Daoist's pupils contracted as he stared at Qin Yunyi for a long time. After a long while, he let out a breath of foul air. Then, he suddenly stood up and bowed toward Qin Yunyi. He actually bent his waist at a 90-degree angle.
Qin Yunyi frowned slightly but did not make way for the young priest. He only looked up at him, waiting for the priest to say what he needed to say.
"I am Lee Nanfeng, the 13th generation descendant of the linen-clothed faction. I have come here specifically to find you, Qin Yunyi! A person who can't even calculate destiny!"
The young Daoist bowed and said in a low voice.
"Continue. " Qin Yunyi said without hesitation.
"My linen-clothed bloodline started in Northern Song, prospered in the early Ming Dynasty, and declined in recent times. It has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. However, starting from the mid Ming Dynasty, After being attacked by all kinds of Jiang Xiangzis, the real Xiangzis are often misunderstood. It was thought to be a river and a lake trick. In addition, the ancient Faceless Technique was almost god-like, and was heavily suppressed by the imperial power. From then on, the Faceless Techniques of various sects were gradually lost. Then, in recent times. . . After the modern war and the ten years of catastrophe within the country, true geomancy and geomancy were one in a hundred. Even our linen-clothed faction has lost most of our ancestors' inheritances until now. "
As the young Daoist priest spoke, he sat back down on the sofa. A look of regret appeared on his face. "Three years ago, my master knew that his life was coming to an end. He wouldn't be able to live much longer. However, all he learned in his life was only the superficial Faceless Technique of the linen clan. My master was rather unwilling, and he was motivated to complete the linen clan. However, in a hundred years, he had not achieved anything. Seeing that he was about to be buried, it would be difficult for him to complete the system. Therefore, before his master left, he brazenly used his remaining lifespan of less than two years as the price to pry into the secrets of the heavens. I hope I can find a way to complete the system. "
"What's the result?" Qin Yunyi couldn't help but ask.
His god-like education since he was young made him like most people in the country. He did not believe in the so-called supernatural, nor did he think that there were ghosts in this world. However, he always had a certain level of recognition for the geomancy technique.
In particular, the legendary Deference Map that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang had written together. After Qin Yunyi had seen it, he was amazed by it.
In Qin Yunyi's opinion, the so-called geomancy technique was actually a kind of judgment about one's Qi. Humans had Qi, Earth had Qi, and beasts also had the Qi of a beast.
The mind controlled the physical body, and modern scientists had proved it through experiments. Under certain circumstances, the mind of a human could produce an effect similar to a magnetic field. This was the result of the overly condensed aura produced by the mind.
In the Republic, there were three places that had not been affected by the ten-year catastrophe, and they had not experienced the most difficult times in the beginning of the Republic. And in those three places, the status of Feng Shui master was extremely high, and they were respected, but at the same time, they also retained a lot of traditions.
Even in this era, Feng Shui masters that we think are superstitious are often called masters in those three places. They are truly people who come and go from wealthy families and come from aristocratic families.
When Feng Shui analysts work, they often use the compass to sense the so-called murderous aura. In fact, the compass can sense the magnetic field!
A real Feng Shui master would definitely be very sensitive to the aura, and they would have a special way to distinguish it.
In Qin Yunyi's opinion, a Feng Shui master's way of calculating fate was to use this person's luck to make a limited prediction, and the Feng Shui of the house was to sense the Soil Qi.
As for prying into the secrets of heaven, it was naturally to pry into the heaven's energy!
However, the Heavenly Dao was vast and boundless, so the heaven energy was naturally vast and boundless. If a mortal were to look into the heavenly fate, they would naturally not be able to withstand the immense pressure of the heavenly fate, thus they would self-harm themselves. This was the backlash.
On the contrary, if one were to only perform divination based on fate, they would rarely be harmed, unless the aura of the person who did the divination was too powerful! This was also the reason why the generals who killed in the wilderness in ancient times usually looked down on the Prime Minister, but the high-ranking officials in the Imperial Court treated the Prime Minister with utmost respect.
The more people they killed, the more hostility and killing intent they would carry. This invisible and formless aura was something that would often cause a backlash even if a high level Prime Minister forcefully calculated it. The civil officials, on the other hand, would not have such a terminal illness. No matter what, Ling Ran's civil officials had never killed or seen blood with their own hands. At most, they would only have an awe-inspiring Morality on them, but they did not have to worry about the backlash of the evil aura.
Therefore, Qin Yunyi was very curious about the fortune teller who could pry into the secrets of the heavens. Of course, this had nothing to do with faith. Qin Yunyi had always been an idealist. After merging with the Qilin, his belief became even more firm.
However, Feng Shui Technique was the same as TCM. It was a culture that had been passed down since ancient times. Although there were some impurities in it, it could not be denied that even in the modern era where material science and technology were highly developed, there was still no scientific explanation for things that many ancient people could understand.
It was just like how foreigners could never understand why some capable old TCM could treat illnesses by stepping on a few weeds on the mountain. Since ancient times, their ancestors had a much better understanding of this world and their own bodies than modern people.
However, the recent catastrophe had arrived, and the mountains and rivers had been devastated. Although it had been nurtured for several decades and had started to flourish again, too many cultural essence had long disappeared in the long river of history, and it was no longer as glorious as before.
As a result, we guarded the treasures passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years and were unable to enter. Instead, we worship the superficial things in the west that do not have any cultural deposits and only flows on the surface as precious treasures.1
"In the end. . . Master suffered a backlash on the spot. His face, which was originally ruddy and looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. He fell to the ground. He was on the verge of death. . . At that time, I was very afraid, so I could only help Master into the temple. After that, Master said something to me, then he sat down in front of me and melted. . . "
Although three years had passed, the young Daoist still seemed to be unable to stop his grief.
"What did your master say?"
"Two years later today, let me find a person who is unable to see fate and cannot infer its fate. At the same time, he is also not a fortune teller. Then, follow him. . . "
