Chapter 8 The blessings of several generations
"The mysterious and mysterious decision of the heart?"
Xuan Qi was stunned. Why did this name sound so much like a martial arts secret in the novel?
"Yes." Lin Qinghe nodded, with a look of regret on his face, "The burnt ancient book you saw in the box is full name "Xuan Gong's Secret Record". Unfortunately, this book was burned in a fire, and our Xuan family also cut off its most important inheritance.
What we learned later was passed down through word of mouth, but although this method is confidential, it is very easy to have errors and faults. When it was passed on to my generation, it basically didn't exist, leaving only some of the skin. Even "The Mysterious Decision of the Mysterious Decision" has only some body techniques left, and the mind techniques have long been lost."
Our Xuan family actually has such a family background? Xuan Qi was shocked after hearing this.
"Grandpa, is our Xuan family a martial arts family?" he asked.
Xuan Qinghe shook his head: "Of course not. Strictly speaking, we should belong to Taoism."
Taoist? Xuan Qi was stunned again.
In this way, aren’t our Xuan family all Taoist priests? And they are Taoist priests who can marry and have children like Wudang Taoist priests.
And I am also a little Taoist priest? After Xuan Qi learned the news, he felt a little strange.
Xuan Qinghe signaled his grandson to sit down, and then said, "I didn't plan to tell you these things and planned to bring them to the soil. But since you accidentally built a foundation, I will tell you about our Xuan family."
When Xuan Qi heard this, he immediately sat upright. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no idea about his family.
As he said that, Xuanqing put his finger into the teacup, dipped it in water, and wrote four strange ancient characters on the table. He was twisted and twisted. Xuan Qi only vaguely recognized two of the characters as "Xuanmen", and the other two were not recognized. However, he knew that this kind of characters had been used in ancient times, and he vaguely remembered that he had seen such characters in pictures of history textbooks.
"Grandpa, what is this?" Xuan Qi asked.
"This is the big seal script, which was originally popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty. These four words are the name of our Xuan family's sect - Xuanmen Authentic!"
"Our family sect? Xuanmen is authentic?" Xuan Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
It’s not that he had heard of this name, but that he never thought that there was a family sect in their Xuan family, which was too incredible.
Moreover, Xuanmen Authentic is really a strange name.
"Xuanmen" is "Xuanmen", and there is even an "authentic" addition. Why is this a waste of time? Xuan Qi thought to himself.
"grandfather……"
Xuan Qi was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Xuan Qinghe and said, "Don't talk first, just sit down and listen carefully."
Xuan Qing and what he said next greatly subverted many of Xuan Qi's previous ideas.
In China's long history, there is a type of people who play an important role in the development of the entire society, that is, a sorcerer, that is, a person with magic, referred to as a sorcerer or sorcerer. However, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, such people have been directly collectively called Taoist priests.
Alchemists are a complex group in society and play an important role in politics, economy and culture.
For example, the alchemist Guiguzi in the Warring States Period was the master of strategy, Bian Que was an outstanding doctor, Zou Yan was a master of the Five Elements, and all the astronomy, calendar, geography and all kinds of knowledge.
For example, Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Jiao of the Han Dynasty, Ge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty, Chen Tuan of the Song Dynasty... etc., all of these people have made outstanding achievements in a certain field and played an immeasurable role in Chinese society.
In other words, the alchemist is a general term for ancient Chinese scientists, experts, scholars and other figures. The social components are very complex. The "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biography of Fangshu" points out that "if you are not the same person, the Tao will not be empty." This means that if you are a real sorcerer, you must have real skills.
However, few people have always known that alchemists are usually just the names given by outsiders. They are more willing to call themselves "Xuanshi", meaning people in the Xuanmen. The skills they have learned are collectively called Xuanmen secret techniques, and are abbreviated as Xuanmen.
In fact, Xuanshi has existed since the time of Emperor Xuanyuan and Huangdi, and even earlier.
According to legend, more than 4,500 years ago, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi defeated Chiyou in Zhuolu in nine battles. In a critical moment, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi dreamed of the Nine Heavens Xuannv teaching the heavenly book. Huangdi learned the secret technique of Xuanmen and defeated Chiyou.
The Nine Heavens Xuannv is one of the earliest known Xuanshi and is regarded as the ancestor of the Xuanmen of China.
Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan was later worried that Chiyou's subordinates would continue to rebel, so he ordered Cangjie to create characters, and the Fengfeng later interpreted and sorted them out, and finally wrote the secret technique of Xuanmen into a book and named it "Dragon Armor God Chapter".
It is said that the Dragon Armor God Chapter is profound and covers all the mysterious secret techniques, including not only the five elements, numerology, Feng Shui, medical divination, hexagrams, etc., but also the knowledge in the fields of astronomy, geography, vertical and horizontal, and strategy, and even the secret techniques of the Qimen Dunjia, Taoism, magic and magic.
These contents can be summarized in five words, namely "mountain, medicine, fate, appearance, and divination". Although these five systems are differentiated, they actually have their own intersections and complement each other.
The mountain group contains secret techniques for cultivating the mind and cultivating the body. It is said that it can be divided into five contents: immortality, Taoism, illusion, spirit control, and military formation.
Among the five systems, the "Shan" secret technique is the most mysterious, with only a few magical techniques, illusions and military formations passed down.
The Ministry of Medicine, that is, traditional Chinese medicine techniques, includes three parts, namely acupuncture, prescriptions and spiritual therapy. Among them, acupuncture and prescriptions are widely circulated, and spiritual therapy is already extremely rare in China. However, hypnosis is extremely prosperous abroad. In fact, hypnosis is a type of spiritual therapy.
The life part, namely the numerology technique, is to use the time and space of a person to infer a person's life trajectory and the information of good and bad luck in the six relatives. The life part mainly includes the stem and branch method and astrology method, and there are also subdivided, such as the seven politics and four more, Ziwei Doushu, Five Star Art, Jianzhe, Four Pillar and Eight Characters... and other schools.
The divination department is the divination technique, which is mainly used to predict good and bad luck. The divination department also has the distinction between divination, divination, miscellaneous divination, and easy divination. Among them, Taiyi, Qimen, and Liuren are divination; plum Yi, and Liuyao are divination; character measurement, dream, lottery draw is divination; yarrow divination, throwing money to make it easy divination... etc.
Among all the secret techniques of Xuanmen, divination techniques are the most long-standing, the most widely circulated, and the most schools. Among them, Qimen Dunjia, Liuren Technique and Taiyishu are the three most important secret techniques that are respected as the supreme methods of Xuanmen. If you can see through it, you will be successful.
The physiognomy is the physiognomy. It includes: physiognomy (astrology), physiognomy (Feng Shui), and physiognomy (face, palm, body, sound, bone touch, mole equality).
In the Xuanmen, there are five major systems of "mountain, doctor, fate, prime minister, and divination". As long as anyone can learn a little bit of it, he can become a dragon among people, or as a minister like Zhou Gong Ji Dan and Jiang Ziya, who are appointed as officials and ministers; or as a peerless genius doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded, and who admires and loves the world; or as a great wise and powerful person like Guiguzi, Zhuge Liang and Ge Hong, who "uses the power of heaven and earth to do ghosts and gods."
Unfortunately, "Dragon Armor God Chapter" is an ancient secret book that only exists in legends. Some people say it does not exist at all. After all, no one has ever seen it before after so many years. Some people say that this secret book is not as powerful as the legend, it is just a rumor.
However, what is certain is that the secret technique of Xuanmen has always existed and has been passed down through various means. From ancient times to the present, outstanding figures from the Xuanmen have emerged continuously. Everyone calls themselves "the authentic Xuanmen", and have obtained the true inheritance of Xuanmen, and no one can convince anyone.
This chaotic situation continued until the early Sui Dynasty, about 1,300 years ago, when a Taoist sect, which was directly named "Xuanmen Authentic Sect", suddenly emerged and became a prominent figure. With its powerful strength, the most authentic secret technique inheritance was recognized by all other Xuanmen colleagues in the entire Chinese land, and became the veritable Xuanmen Authentic Sect.
The founder of the "Xuanmen Authentic Sect" was Xuanyangzi, known as "Xuanyang Zhenren", and he was also the ancestor of the Xuan family.
Xuan Yangzi is a true legend, with a rapid rise that is astonishing. There are countless versions of the legend about him, but a more recognized version is that he has indeed obtained the true inheritance of the Xuanmen secret technique. When he founded the "Xuanmen Authentic Sect", the strength and Xuanmen secret technique he showed to the outside world are the best evidence. This is also the main reason why other Xuanmen colleagues finally recognized the authentic identity of Xuanmen.
Xuan Yangzi is the first sect leader of the Xuanmen Clergy. Since his death, the Xuan family inheritance has been continued from generation to generation. However, after hundreds of years, the Xuanmen Clergy gradually declined due to war, natural disasters, no successors, etc. Because of the guilt of possessing a treasure, the Xuan family had to gradually live a seclusion and disappeared from the eyes of the world.
The authentic Xuanmen Sect was really hit hard in the Ming Dynasty. Not only did it split internally, but an inexplicable fire broke out, burning all the Xuan Family Library Pavilion, and many lonely secret books were burned, including the Xuan Family's most important classic "Xuan Gong Secret Record".
Later, although some talented people appeared in the Xuan family and wanted to recreate the glory of the Xuan family, due to the gap and lack of classics and inheritance, the Xuan family has become unreal and has long lost the halo of "The Authentic Xuanmen". Some other sects of Xuanmen have gradually begun to re-claim that they are the authentic lineage of Xuanmen.
In modern times, natural disasters once again came to the Xuan family, and the war burned to the village where they were. The ten-year catastrophe would destroy all the remaining classics. Xuan Qing and his wife and children came to southern Hunan for refuge, and finally took root here.
Xuan Qi knew nothing about these things before, but now when he heard his grandfather talking about them one by one, it was like he was listening to a book of heaven. His mind was infuriating and his eyes were irritated.
Although it is difficult to believe, his intuition tells him that these things seem to exist again, at least what happened to him recently cannot be explained by common sense.
Xuan Qi asked, "Grandpa, then, is it true that everyone says you can tell fortunes?"
"Fortune-telling is just a general term, and it involves numerology, divination and physiognomy, depending on the situation. As the 27th generation descendant of the Authentic Xuanmen Sect, I still know some of these things. Unfortunately, my ancestors' things have almost been thrown away in my hands." Speaking of this, Xuan Qinghe felt an indescribable loneliness on his face.
There is a saying that Xuan Qinghe did not say that many of the things he mastered were not the true inheritance of the Xuanmen Sect, but learned from other Xuanmen schools.
"Does these things really work?"
The question that had been wandering in Xuan Qi's heart was finally asked by him. He had received materialism education since childhood. He used to sneer at Feng Shui fortune-telling and regarded it as feudal superstitions. Although he has experienced some incredible things now, this concept cannot be reversed in a short time.
Xuan Qinghe looked at Xuan Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, most of the things passed down by our ancestors are summaries of life experience and natural phenomena. Some things cannot be explained by current technology, just like hundreds of years ago, the technology at that time could not explain why birds could fly. Things passed down for thousands of years always make sense. I hope you can verify them yourself and observe them with your own eyes. Alas, you suddenly build the foundation, and you don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster for our Xuan family."
"Bastard! This is of course a blessing for your Xuan family to cultivate in the past few lives! With the assistance of me, your grandson's achievements will be limitless in the future, and it is also possible to surpass that boy from Xuanyang."
The voice in Xuan Qi's mind sounded again, but unfortunately, the sound was completely unheard by Xuanqing and at all.
Xuan Qi had many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask his grandfather, but after hearing this voice, he did not continue to ask.
