At that time, after Li Yuanwai saw these records, he became very interested in Shao Yong, a person with strong predictive ability. So he collected a lot of books about Shao Yong at any cost. The more he read, the more he felt that Shao Yong's

magic.

This Shao Yong, some people call him Mr. Baiyuan. The reason why he has this nickname may be because people think that he can see many things very thoroughly.

Shao Yong was extremely intelligent and unusual since he was a child. He did not farm, do business, or take part in the imperial examinations. Instead, he lived in seclusion on Baiyuan Mountain in Sumen Mountain and studied hard. Emperors Renzong and Shenzong of the Song Dynasty wanted to give him official positions many times.

He declined even if he wanted to do it. He moved to Luoyang at the age of thirty-eight and had close contacts with Sima Guang and others.

Based on the principles of the "Book of Changes" and Taoist thoughts, he created his own science of Xiangshu, also called Xiantian science. His divination skills were very accurate, and he wrote "Guanwu Pian", "Xiantian Diagram", and "Yichuan Jingliang Collection"

", "Huangji Jingshi", "Yu Qiaowen Wen Dui" and other books.

Study hard on your own and travel around the world to teach you things like a god

According to legend, before Shao Yong was born, he had many unusual visions. When his parents were walking in the mountains, the image of a big black ape suddenly appeared in the clouds and mist, which looked like a mirage. Shao Yong's mother felt it.

Got pregnant.

When she was about to give birth, jackdaws covered the sky in the courtyard. Even the crows in the courtyard were flying slowly. Everyone said this was auspicious. Shao Yong had just been born, and he was very different from ordinary babies. It is said that his hair was thick and covered his face.

And he actually still has teeth, and he can still call his mother.

The world in this child's eyes is very different from ordinary people's.

When he was seven years old, little Shaoyong was playing in the courtyard and discovered that the small ant nest was actually another small world, which also had its own sky, sun, clouds, etc.

When he grew up, he traveled around the country, visited experts, and gained more knowledge.

Late one night, he was walking on the mountain road in Jinzhou. Suddenly his horse stumbled and he fell into the bottomless mountain stream. The servants who followed him were very anxious, so they climbed down the rock with a rope, preparing to break him to the bottom of the valley.

However, when they looked for him, the servants were surprised to find that Shao Yong was unharmed and only had a broken hat.

According to the "History of the Song Dynasty? Biography of Shao Yong": Shao Yong "began to study, that is, he worked hard and pushed himself. He did not cook the stove in the cold, did not fan the fan in the summer, and did not sit down at night for several years." Later, in order to increase his knowledge, he also traveled around the world to study.

After traveling to Qi, Lu, Song, Zheng and other places, he truly achieved the goal of "traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books." After returning, he said with emotion: "The Tao is here." That is to say, he has enlightened the Tao. There is no need to go to the east.

He ran away to the west and never wandered around again.

At that time, Li Tingzhi, an expert, saw that he was eager to learn, so he taught him "Hetu", "Luoshu", "Fuxi Bagua" and other Yi learning secrets. Shao Yong, with his intelligence, quickly understood it and grasped it.

He understood the essence of it, understood the movement of heaven and earth, and the laws of the rise and fall of yin and yang, and finally became a master of Yixue who was famous throughout the ages.

There are many stories about his miraculous prediction ability.

For example, it is said that one day in the spring of a certain year, Shao Yong went to the Luohe Bridge and set up a Gua stall. Near noon, an old farmer came over to ask about good or bad luck. Shao Yong asked him to draw a word, and the old farmer bent down and took one and handed it to Shao Yong.

Look, there is a word "chopsticks" on it. He raised his head and said to the old farmer: "Congratulations, you will have a good meal at noon today, go home quickly!"

When the old farmer returned home with hesitation, he found his nephew waiting for him at home. When he saw him coming back, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, I have been waiting for you for two hours. Today is my father's sixtieth birthday. I want to invite you over for a drink."

." So the old farmer changed into clean clothes and went to the banquet happily.

In the afternoon, Shao Yong was about to clean up the Gua stall and go home to rest. A man jumped out of the car in the south and said, "Sir, please stay. I've heard that you have a wonderful plan. Please take a look at my fate." Shao Yong asked him to draw a scroll of paper.

, the man picked up one and opened it with the word "chopsticks" in it. Shao Yong said to him: "Judging from the word 'chopsticks', it is an unlucky sign. You will get wet today."

Seeing that the weather was clear and cloudless, the man felt that Shao Yong must be blind. But just in case, he hurried home, thinking: "When I get home, even if it rains, I won't get wet."

Me”.

Seeing that they were about to get home and the weather outside was still fine, the man couldn't help but laugh and said: "This Shao Yong is a guy who doesn't live up to his name." Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a basin of water fell from the sky and splashed on him. It turned out to be him.

The wife was pouring a pot of shabu-shabu water randomly, but unexpectedly it happened to be poured on her husband who was rushing back.

That afternoon, after lunch, Shao Yong just walked to the bridge and was about to continue setting up the divination stall. He saw a man standing there, waiting for him to tell the divination. It turned out that the man wanted to know his luck that day, and Shao Yong also asked him to draw.

A roll of paper still had the word "chopsticks" on it after being pulled out, so he said to him: "You will definitely be in jail today."

The man thought, since I am going to jail, then I will stay at home and not go out, so I will definitely not cause trouble. So, he returned home, covered himself with a quilt and slept. Unexpectedly, when he fell asleep,

When he was about to wake up, he was awakened by a woman's yelling and cursing. It turned out that his pig had broken into the family's vegetable garden and made a mess of the vegetables grown by the family. The man had a very bad temper, and he had already been woken up.

He was so angry that when he heard the woman scolding him, he couldn't bear it anymore and punched the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman was already sick and died after being hit on the ground by the punch.

In less than an hour, several government officials took the frightened and helpless man into prison.

Of course, this story is more like a folk legend, and the deeds about Shao Yong recorded in the history books are more legendary and more reliable than these, because the characters involved in the history books all have names, and most of them have names.

is a "celebrity".

After Shao Yong moved to Luoyang, he not only had close contacts with Sima Guang, but also had a good relationship with another minister named Fu Bi.

Fu Bi, a minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in Luoyang after resigning. He had a good relationship with Shao Yong. Fu Bi refused to interact with guests, but warned the doorman: "If Mr. Shao comes, no matter morning or evening, he must report

." One day, Shao Yong came to visit Fu Bi. Seeing that there was no one around him, he said, "Please bring me another chair." Fu Bi was surprised. Are there any distinguished guests? He quickly asked Shao Yong why.

Shao Yong explained: "At noon today, a young man in green will definitely come to you on a white horse. Even though you are sick, you must work hard to see him in person. Because after you die, this person will be responsible for writing history.

Come and record your life story." At noon, Fan Mengde came. More than ten years later, Fan Mengde was appointed by the imperial court as the editor, responsible for writing "Yuling Records", which of course included writing "Fu".

"The Biography of Bi".

As the saying goes, doctors can heal people but not themselves. Shao Yong can predict future events, but he cannot control or manipulate the development of events. A person with such a strong prediction ability is helpless in the face of death.

In the summer of 1077 AD, Shao Yong began to feel that his health was deteriorating. He smiled and said to Sima Guang and others: "I want to watch the reincarnation of all things."

Cheng Yi said worriedly: "No one can help Mr. Sir's illness. You have to find a way to take care of it yourself." Shao Yong said calmly: "It's useless to take care of him!" In the winter of that year, Shao Yong's life was like this.

A candle in the wind may be extinguished at any time.

Before he died, he called his son to his bedside and made three very strange requests to his son in a serious voice: "I have three requests, and you must satisfy me. First, after my death, you cannot bury me in Luoyang.

Instead, they should be buried in the tombs of their ancestors in Yichuan; secondly, the epitaph should be written by your uncle Cheng Hao; thirdly, no valuables should be buried with him, but he should rest his head on the head of a pulley, wear coarse cloth and black clothes, and his clothes should be wiped clean.

When oiling and enclosing, don't forget to find the little bald girl from the neighbor Li's family and let her watch." After saying this, he closed his eyes and passed away.

Although family and friends found Shao Yong's request very strange, they all knew Shao Yong's predictive ability and felt that there must be a mystery in the reason why he proposed three such strange wills. Therefore, they followed Shao Yong's will and carried out the funeral process.

They brought the little bald daughter of the Li family and asked her to watch Shao Yong put on coarse black clothes, smear the clothes with oil, then put them into the coffin, and let the little bald daughter see what was buried inside.

, then the coffin lid was nailed and sent to Yichuan Cemetery. The coffin was carried by eight young men. At first, they felt it was very heavy and their shoulders were painful from the pressure.

But after traveling for more than ten miles, he became lighter and lighter. The old people said that it was Master Shao who had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Fast forward six or seventy years, and the little bald girl got married and gave birth to a son, and the son was born again.

He married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a grandson. But when the grandson grew up, he specialized in stealing coffins and robbing tombs.

One day, he and others were muttering about going to steal Shao Yong's tomb. His grandmother, the little bald girl from back then, heard it. The little bald girl said to her grandson: "You must not go. When Mr. Shao was buried

, I can see clearly that there is nothing inside, and it is even greased." Her grandson asked: "Is it true?" "It's absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes." So Shao Yong's tomb was not robbed.

.It turns out that before Shao Yong died, he had expected that the grandson of the little bald girl would be a coffin robber in the future.

As for choosing the cemetery not near Luoyang, but in Luochuan, which is slightly remote, this is because if it is in Luoyang, it will be easily excavated by the Jin army that later invaded, because after the Jin army captured the Central Plains, they conducted large-scale excavations.

The cemeteries of Song Dynasty emperors and ministers, as well as the cemeteries of Northern Song emperors and more than 300 ministers, are concentrated in that area.

Shao Yong not only used his prediction ability to ensure that his cemetery would not be stolen, but also ensured the safety of future generations.

One night, Shao Yong was admiring the moon on the bridge with his son. Suddenly a cold wind blew up, black clouds covered the moon, and the faint cry of cuckoos could be heard. Shao Yong frowned and was worried. His son asked him quickly why he was worried.
