Chapter IX Learning Art

In fact, the knowledge that Langzi learned secretly is the highest level of Taoist knowledge. "Qimen Dunjia", known as the emperor's knowledge, is the first secret skill among the three secret treasures of Qimen, Liuren and Taiyi.

The first part of the formula reveals the interaction between the eight planets in the solar system and the earth's magnetic field. "Qi" refers to the three oddities, namely Yi, C and D, and "men" refers to the eight gates, namely "open, rest, life, injury, and du".

Scenery, death, surprise.”

Qi Men Dun Jia has a magical power, which contains philosophical wisdom, calendar science, view of the universe and society, astronomical knowledge, war science, strategy science, etc. There is a popular saying among the people, "Learn Qi Men Dun Jia, and you don't need to ask anyone who comes."

In ancient times, Qimen Dunjia was mainly used in wars. With four ounces of force, you can win every battle and be victorious. Legend has it that when Chiyou was in rebellion, the Yellow Emperor was unable to subdue it. The Nine Heavens Xuannv taught the Dragon Armor Divine Medal. According to the book, the Yellow Emperor made weapons and learned the art of war, thus

Defeated Chi You.

In addition to the Yellow Emperor, its typical representatives in history include Jiang Taigong, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other high Taoists. Among them, Zhuge Liang is widely known. He can understand astronomy and geography, build Bagua military formations, and summon

Dong Feng and Huo Shao Company also invented and manufactured Zhuge's serial crossbow, wooden ox and flowing horse, Kongming lantern, etc., as well as fire beasts and bridge-building guns. They all used the art of Qimen Dunjia, and they were masters in this field.

It is said that the wolf boy stole the skills from his master in the firewood shed and studied day and night. With his extraordinary talent, he gradually entered the right path and suddenly understood its essence. He worked tirelessly and became deeply fascinated by it.

Under the guidance of the wolf boy, Yangzi also gained some enlightenment and learned a little bit. But what he liked more was asking the wolf boy for advice and learning every day, and listening to the wolf boy talk about some strange things outside. One more person could help

A close friend who chats about everything.

One day, Master Hongji asked the apprentices to come down and use the theories of "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" and "Five Elements" to predict the weather the day after tomorrow. That night, the wolf boy took Yangzi out to watch the sky together.

After watching for a while, the wolf boy calculated with his fingers for a while and said: "There will be heavy rain and strong winds the day after tomorrow."

Yangzi said: "How could it be? It's almost the beginning of autumn. It's the time when the air is crisp and clear. The sun shines brightly every day and there is very little rain. The abbot has asked us to take out the quilts in each room to dry them in the past few days.

, there will be no heavy rain."

"I calculated it using the "Five Movements and Six Qi" method taught by the master. Isn't it wrong?" Wolf Boy thought for a while and said, "The master asked everyone to calculate the weather in the future. They must have already known what the weather will be like.

If you have a vision, let’s use it to test everyone.”

Then he taught Yangzi face to face for a while, teaching him this and that. Yangzi was also doubtful after hearing this, but he still nodded and agreed.

On the morning of the third day, the sun was still in the sky, the wind was warm, and it was a refreshing autumn sky. When all the apprentices saw this weather, they couldn't help but look happy, thinking that they had always answered the homework they completed yesterday correctly.

It was almost noon, and all the masters and apprentices came out to have a meal in the front yard after class. At this time, I saw Yoko picking up the cotton clothes and quilt covers that had been dried in the yard one by one, and taking them back to the house.

A deacon came over and asked: "Zhenyangzi, the sun is perfect at noon, why did you put away the quilts that were hanging out to dry?"

"I'm afraid there will be heavy rain and strong wind soon, and I'm afraid it will be too late to put it away, so I'm going to put it away now." Yoko said while putting away the quilt.

"That's nonsense. I think you have nothing to do. Stop now. Don't stop. Go to the kitchen to help first. Hurry!" The deacon said angrily. Yoko had to stop and went to the kitchen angrily.

However, before the meal was over, I heard a sudden strong wind outside, making a whining sound, and flying sand and dust. Then dark clouds covered the sky, and it began to rain. The raindrops became more and more dense, and it started to rain.

Turns to heavy rain.

Fortunately, the little Taoist priest Yangzi had already collected most of the quilt covers and cotton clothes that were dried in the courtyard just now. Everyone collected the remaining ones in a few times, and the loss was not big. Everyone praised Yangzi for his foresight, then

The deacon also looked at Yoko differently.

Yangzi immediately went to express his merits to the wolf boy and report the good news. Here, Master Hongji was reprimanding his disciples in the backyard: "The ancestral miraculous arts are obscure and difficult to understand. Without innate talent, it is difficult to find the essentials. Without acquired hard work, it is difficult to understand the principles.

The lack of determination in cultivation makes it even more difficult to learn, and ultimately falls into vain."

"The propositions we were taught the day before yesterday, I looked at them today and found that none of them were completely correct. I am disappointed as a teacher."

"Disciples should remember Master's teachings and work harder to study the lessons," the disciples replied.

"Today's sudden change in the weather is something I have only seen since I was young. Except for Master, who could predict it, I am afraid it would be difficult for others to do so," a disciple said.

"That's not true. In addition to Master, there is a little Taoist boy in the front yard who also predicted today's celestial phenomena." A disciple said, and then told everyone what he saw in the front yard today. After listening to this, Master Hongji

Quite surprised.

Another day, after Master Xuanqing finished explaining Guiguzi's art of war to all his disciples, he said to all his disciples: "The art of war is cunning. The way of using war lies in ever-changing ways, attacking them without defense and taking them by surprise. Therefore, if you can seem to be unable, use it."

It seems unnecessary; the near seems far; the far seems near, this is the way of impermanence."

"I will give you a question today to test whether what you have learned can be used." Master Xuanqing said as he sat down on the Grand Master's chair above the lecture hall.

"My master is now sitting in the hall. You can use a trick to get my master to leave this seat and step out of the hall. The one who wins is the winner. Don't be afraid to give it a try."

When the disciples heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking how could this be done. The person being tricked already knew the intention of the trickster, so how could he fall into the trick? This must be too difficult.

Everyone was whispering and discussing, and they all thought there was nothing they could do.

When the wolf boy heard in the firewood house that the teacher had asked this question to test everyone, his mind suddenly turned around and he came up with a plan. He immediately called Yoko over and told him in his ear that he should do this.

After hearing the trick, Yangzi carried a bucket of water to the school in the backyard and pretended to deliver water.

When Yangzi entered the school, he saw all the disciples standing in a circle in the school. In the middle was Master Xuanqing sitting on an imperial chair, shaking the paper fan in his hand, looking leisurely and contented.

Seeing this, Yoko asked loudly: "What are you doing? Is the teacher doing a trick? Let me see it too." After saying this, he squeezed in from the crowd.

"What's the magic trick? The teacher sets a question to test everyone. See if you have the ability to trick the teacher into getting up from the chair and walking out of the school." One of the disciples told Yangzi.

"Is this...? I can do it too, let me give it a try." As he said this, Yangzi walked in front of Master Xuanqing, looked up and down, and then circled around the chair with great posture.

Come.

Qingxu Zhenren saw that it was a boy working in the front yard, and he was a little disapproving. He shook his head and closed his eyes in contempt.

Yang Zi circled around the chair several times, but there was no movement. The disciples around him became a little impatient and shouted, "Use your skills quickly, don't keep spinning around like a donkey."

"

Yangzi scratched his head in embarrassment, stepped forward and bowed to Master Xuanqing, and said: "The questions Master asked today are really impossible for a young person to do."

When all the disciples heard what he said, they burst into laughter.

Yangzi was not annoyed and continued: "If the master can change the conditions a little, I will definitely be able to do it."

After hearing what he said, Master Xuanqing became a little more interested, so he asked: "How to change the method? Let's talk about it."

"If the master can stand outside the school, I will definitely be able to trick the master into sitting on this chair." Yoko said.

"Is this true?" the master asked.

"I guarantee it's true. It only takes a moment to do it. No joke!"

"Well, I want to see what you are capable of." After saying that, Master Xuanqing, surrounded by his disciples, came to the courtyard outside the hall, stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed,

Xiang Yangzi asked: "Is it feasible here?"

Yangzi followed the master and said quickly: "Okay, okay, just stay here." After saying that, Yangzi circled around Master Xuanqing again.

At this time, everyone was staring at Yangzi with doubts, to see what method he was going to use.

But after Yoko circled the master twice, he suddenly bent his legs, knelt down in front of the master with a plop, kowtowed and said: "I'm so incompetent, but I still have nothing to do. Please forgive me, master!" After that!

, kowtowed to the master, then immediately stood up and ran out of the backyard.

"This rogue!" "You little scoundrel!" There was a burst of curses and ridicules in the courtyard, and all the disciples laughed towards Yoko's fleeing back.

Master Xuanqing had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, turned around and walked into the school. Just when the master stepped into the door of the school and saw the grand master's chair, a thought suddenly flashed and his heart was shaken.

"This kid has already defeated me?! Does he really not know, or is he pretending not to know?" Thinking of this, the master actually broke out in a cold sweat.
