The wound on the leg was nothing at first, but the climate here was hot and humid, and it was soaked in the rain. It only took half a day to become infected. The slightest movement made me grin, and the pain was excruciating.
Fortunately, Tian Wang sent someone to collect some unknown herbs, pound them into juice, put a clean cloth in it and soak it. Then, he used chopsticks to hold the medicinal cloth and clean up the thick blood in the wound.
I felt embarrassed to ask Tian Wang to do this for me. He concentrated on doing this while chatting with me.
I suddenly remembered something and asked her: "Wang, how do you know that I will be in danger these days?"
"Some things cannot be known until they happen. Everything has its precursors," he said.
"King, I don't know anything about this. Can you give me a lecture?"
"You are my son-in-law. Is there anything else that I cannot tell you? I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but there has never been a suitable opportunity." After a while, the wound was treated.
"Then now is the opportunity. You see, I am injured, I can't go anywhere, I can't do anything."
He smiled and said, "Where to start?"
"As long as you can say it, you can say it from anywhere."
Jiang Wanqing ran in. When King Tian was healing me just now, all five of them ran to the old lady. Now, send her over to see how the situation is. Seeing that I am okay, she saw me and King Tian talking about something, and ran away again.
Go back
King Tian glanced at Jiang Wanqing's back and said, "Let's start with your wives."
I have wanted to know what Prince Tian thinks about us for a long time. It was precisely because I wanted to know that I didn’t say anything. I just looked at him eagerly. He sat beside my bed, caressed my legs, and spoke slowly.
:
"Do you remember that I once said something to you? Young people always think that the more wives the better, the more the better. In fact, this is not the case."
"Everything has a Tao. You know the word 'Tao', how do you interpret it?"
I shook my head, hoping he would continue talking. He took one of my hands, wrote the word "dao" on my palm with his fingers, and said:
"Look, the word 'Tao' is written first with two dots and a horizontal line. Do you know what it represents?"
I shook my head
"These two points and a horizontal line are the yin and yang in the I Ching. Do you know the I Ching?"
I shook my head, and King Tian also shook his head.
"Those who don't know Yin and Yang cannot do it for their generals. When Emperor Qin burned the book, he did not burn the Book of Changes. This shows how magical it is. There are such symbols in it. Two broken strokes are called Yin, and one continuous stroke is called Yang, which represents the world.
"all things"
"So, the first two strokes of the word 'Tao' really mean yin and yang! But what does this have to do with my wife?"
"It's true that yin and yang act on their own, which is Tao." Tian Wang said, "This is what balance means. If there is no balance, the Tao will be mixed in to make it move toward balance. It can be as large as a country or as small as a team.
Emperors and generals, if you don’t understand the way of balance, sooner or later there will be trouble. I know you are most concerned about your wives now, so I will start with your wives."
"That's right, tell me quickly. I'm so anxious. Tell me, why did you know that they and I were in danger from the beginning?"
"Women are actually the greatest kind of people in the world. They conceive for us, give birth to offspring, and raise them to adulthood. We should not have any disrespectful thoughts towards them. It is for this reason that in the Book of Changes, two words are used.
A broken stroke represents a woman. Breaking means that it is hollow, and it can also be stored, which means that it is modest and tolerant. In addition, it also expresses weakness."
"For a husband and wife, the greatest respect for a woman is to love her only for the rest of his life. As the saying goes, one yin and one yang are called Tao."
I remembered the indescribable expressions on Hua and Xiaoyue's faces when Rokkaku boarded the ship. I was thoughtful in my heart, and then I heard Tian Wang say again:
"Every woman is a gift from God to us. Although they are weak, weakness is just an appearance. How can any man endure the pain of their ten-month pregnancy? So I say, women are really the most tolerant in the world.
Each of them is a self-contained small universe."
"In a family, if the woman is happy, the family will be harmonious and prosperous. You may not know that women represent wealth. Otherwise, everything will go wrong."
"So you only love my wife in this life? Then isn't my wealth too... too... too much?"
"You are a special case, because according to my observation, all of them are satisfied with you. To be honest, I don't know why. Generally, there will be jealousy among a person's wives.
The phenomenon happened, but I don’t know why the five wives of yours can live in such harmony. They seem to be in their own place and are as close to each other as sisters."
"But later, I gradually understood"
"Wang, please stop being so pretentious. I can't wait any longer because I don't even know why," I said.
"From that time Hua fell into the sea, and your attitude towards Xiaoyue, I found the answer. Although Hua was a little dissatisfied with your promiscuity, your behavior allowed her to see it, and it also made other people see it.
People have seen it, but in fact, what matters most to you is the painting.”
“That’s true”
"At this time, her displeasure turned into pride and pride. And you didn't show any obvious dislike or neglect towards other women. This only shows that you are full of energy. Is it that Dragon Pill?"
The effectiveness of it is uncertain. However, I only figured it out later. Your family corresponds to the six most important hexagrams in the Book of Changes."
"Which...six hexagrams?"
"The six hexagrams of Fu, Shi, Qian, Yu, Bi, and Pei all have one characteristic. They are composed of one yang and five yin. When the position of yang changes, the hexagram image will change instantly. These six hexagrams are not all stable.
, no matter which one, it is earth-shaking and thunderous. Even the two hexagrams of Qian and Bi, which represent inner cultivation, cannot be done well by ordinary people."
I seem to understand a little. Five wives really have nothing to show off. You know, I walk on the crater every day, and I might be burned to ashes by them.
"I also heard about the Snake Pill. I heard that there is no change in the Snake Pill when it is placed on other people's bodies. Only when you pick it up, it immediately becomes as bright as new. In this way, the six hexagrams you formed will have
countless changes.”
"Then my future life will be a mess?" Cold sweat broke out on my face.
"When the painting is combined with the snake elixir, it becomes the only moving line. For example, this Fu Gua, if the painting is close to you, it becomes the Lin Gua, which means that happy events are coming and everything goes well." Wang said, and drew another picture in my hand.
opened
"What if she doesn't get close to me?"
"If she reaches the farthest position from you, this cover will become Yi, and everyone will ask for it from you, but no one will step forward to show consideration to you. The endless competition will make you tired of coping."
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about my father-in-law. I have betrayed no one in my life, and I will never let Hua be unhappy. She will not be happy to live a good life without me... Wang, you, could you take advantage of my injury?
Are you here to set me up?" I said it as a joke, but in my heart I had to accept what King Tian said.
He stood up and threw a bamboo slip on my bed, "Look for yourself, this is the "Book of Changes". I hope you can learn it thoroughly so that you can inherit my mantle in the future."
After saying that, he walked out
Think of me, Tian Zong, a man who is upright and upright. From now on, he is afraid of his wife, especially afraid of painting. This has a theoretical basis.
