I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

"The way of chess is like the way of heaven. Today I mainly want to ask the master for advice. The way of chess is the way of heaven."

This proposition is a bit grand, and Master Puji concentrated on it, "Shou Yu Zheyu, please tell me."

Zhe Yu said, "I have heard people say that the way of Go is formed by the intersection of heaven and man. In the ancient prehistoric times, the sages established the system of wells and fields, and the ridges of the fields were designated as rice paddies for traffic. Residential houses were dotted on it, and it became a chess game in the world. Later, there were sages who looked at the sky at night, and remotely sensed the longitude and latitude of the stars on the ground. The ground is the goal, and the momentum is the foundation. Only when the key is the key, can the momentum be achieved."

This remark was quite novel, and Master Puji also felt that he had benefited a lot, but his disciple Ananda was completely confused. "So, what's your problem, Master Zheyu?"

Zhe Yu's eyes were sharp, with scrutiny and questioning, "I just want to ask, the Xiangji Temple is in charge of the world's chess game, neither encircling the ground nor taking power, how can it spy on the way of heaven?"

To put it bluntly, Zhe Yu's question is, why does Xiangji Temple spy on the Dao of Heaven?

Master Puji stroked his beard, and placed a sunspot in his hand on the chessboard on the cliff. "The technique of divination has always been a compulsory method for the abbots of Xiangji Temple. However, with limited manpower to see the infinite way of heaven, they will eventually encounter a backlash. Therefore, the sacred life will be lost in exchange for the secret of heaven. This is the essence of Xiangji Temple. depend."

Zhe Yu also dropped a child, and asked again: "Is there any wrong divination?"

Master Puji's eyes fluttered, which was tantamount to questioning the majesty of Xiangji Temple, and he vowed to defend the majesty of Xiangji Temple to the death. "Never."

Zhe Yu took another son from the bowl and twisted it between the index finger and the middle finger, "Eighteen years ago, Master Du Chen made a divination, asserting that there was a phoenix girl who came to the world on West Zhuque Street and would be in charge of the phoenix seal in the future. Since then, the granddaughter of Taifu Shen , has become the pride of Yanjing people. I want to ask Master, why did Master Du Chen conclude that Shen Liqing is the Phoenix Girl of Destiny?"

Mentioning Master Duchen, Puji's eyes showed pity. He let out a long sigh, feeling infinitely disappointed, "My master, Master Duchen, has been divining three hexagrams in his life, and the backlash is the most serious."

However, the hexagram image is not equal to the truth, and one thing made the master strengthen this hexagram. "

Time goes back to eighteen years ago.

On February 18th, a vision descended from the sky in Yanjing, and nine stars lined up in the sky, which was spectacular.

At that time, Master Duchen was watching the sky, and he was searching for the apocalypse, so he made a divination on the spot.

The appearance of Fengnv is related to the great plan of the world. But Feng Nu is still young after all, and it will take many years before the prophecy is fulfilled.

On February 19th, Taifu Shen brought his two-year-old granddaughter Shen Liqing to Xiangji Temple to offer incense and wish. Master Duchen saw the mark between Shen Liqing's eyebrows at a glance.

At that time, Du Chen asked: "What was Xiao Liqing doing at midnight yesterday?"

Taifu Shen said: "Li Qing is worshiping the ancestors."

Child time is the time when the old and new days meet, and ordinary children go to bed early. And Shen Liqing was worshiping his ancestors.

A two-year-old child naturally doesn't know what worshiping ancestors is, but when Master Du Chen saw her kneeling down to pay her vows, she looked petite and petite, and her devotion far surpassed those believers. He believed that there are talents in this world.

Shen Li invited the ancestors to worship, which moved the stars in the sky, and a vision appeared.

Master Duchen asked again: "Where did the mark on Xiao Li's forehead come from?"

Taifu Shen said: "It is born with it."

What does it mean to be born with a mark similar to a royal totem?

Master Du Chen blurted out, "This woman will be extremely valuable in the future."

So far, the name of Shen Liqing's Phoenix Girl has spread.

Zhe Yu finally figured out the origin of Feng Nu. After pondering for a moment, "Master Puji, did Master Duchen mention the hexagram of Feng Nu again?"

Master Puji shook his head, "After that hexagram, Master's body suffered irreversible damage, and he will no longer divination after sealing the hexagram."

There are rumors about this matter from the outside world, saying that Master Duchen lost ten years of his life because of spying on the heavenly secrets.

"Master Puji, you said just now that Master Duchen did divination three times in his life, how many times is it the first time for Feng Nu?"

"the second time."

"When was the first time?"

Master Puji did not answer.

That was a longer story. At that time, he had just become the closed disciple of Master Duchen. Emperor Yanwu, who had just ascended the Great Treasure, came to Xiangji Temple to inquire about the future. It was Emperor Yanwu's wish to rule the world when he was young, and his first conquest was directed to the southwest.

War is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, Master Duchen didn't like to see all this, so he refused to divination for Emperor Yanwu.

But Emperor Yanwu convinced him.

"I rule the world, not for my own selfishness, but only for the people of the world to enjoy peace and live and work in peace and contentment under the unified kingship."

After divination by Master Du Chen, it was confirmed that this battle will be announced as a big victory.

Emperor Yanwu ordered Tie Hanyang to be the Generalissimo of the army and horses, and the iron cavalry pointed directly at Yunzhao.

Da Yan won a complete victory.

Tie Hanyang dedicated Princess Yunzhao, who named herself after the country.

Zhe Yu didn't ask Master Du Chen for the third divination, the chess game was coming to an end, but the black and white pieces were tied, and there was a vague gesture of shaking hands and making peace. Master Puji knew that this was Zheyu's face for Xiangji Temple.

"Thank you Master Puji for your reply today, Zhe Yu still has something to do, so don't bother me, there will be a later date." He performed the Buddhist ceremony, and then floated down the mountain.

From his heart, he would rather Shen Liqing be the phoenix girl than Baicao Shi.

Let Shen Liqing experience such conquests and conquests, life and death. He only wanted her poems, and to do what he likes all his life, which has nothing to do with wealth and dignity, but only cares about happiness from the heart.

**

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

Zhe Yu went to the palace with her poems of hundreds of herbs to attend the palace banquet.

The princes and grandchildren are all there, so it is very lively.

Everyone saluted the queen mother and the emperor, and then took their seats.

Baicaoshi chose the seat at the end in a low-key manner, not seeking to be noticed, but to be able to eat. The Royal Lantern Festival has a special flavor.

The Empress Dowager is wearing a big red jacket today, very festive. Behind him, Eunuch Lin said: "Today, my son, Sun Mantang, the Queen Mother is very happy. I prepared some lantern riddles on the spot. Everyone guesses while eating the Lantern Festival. Those who guess the most correctly will get a big reward."

Emperor Yanwu was in a good mood after seeing the Empress Dowager recovered, so he also came to join in the fun, "Mother, the son is also a son, can you also come to participate in the guessing riddle?"

The queen mother was even happier, "Yes."

Immediately, Eunuch Lin took out the little red seals, which were borrowed from Emperor Yanwu. Emperor Yanwu wrapped red seals for all the concubines in the palace, and the queen mother thought it was very clever, so she used it.

"Please listen to the first question. White sugar plums are really rare. Let's make a meal."

Just as Eunuch Lin finished speaking, a voice answered from the seat below, and it was Shen Liqing.

Shen Li blessed Fushenzi, "The Empress Dowager's topic really fits the occasion, I guess these white sugar plums are the Lantern Festival."
