Linxiang Fortune Telling _ Linzhou Fortune Telling

Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling can really predict the future.

Divination has always been magical. Not only in folklore, but also in official history, there are many stories in which the great god foretells the future without knowing the Oracle. I don't know what you think of this problem. As for me, I believe that there is great power in the universe, which may predict the future and control everything, but at least what I see in front of me is a scam. In the story of Romance of the Gods 16, two stories about how Jiang Ziya cleverly calculated and predicted the future were written. The effect of this story is very powerful. Jiang Ziya became famous in one fell swoop, and people from all over the neighborhood came to Shoutang in Jiang Ziya to tell their fortune. Jiang Ziya charges five yuan per guest, with a high starting price, but there are also many tourists. Jiang's family got rid of poverty in one fell swoop, and the horse was overjoyed. So, can Jiang Ziya really be smart? I said Jiang Ziya was a big liar. What evidence is there? Let me tell two stories about Jiang Ziya's mental arithmetic first. Let's see if we can find problems in the narrative. Due to the national subjugation of the Five-Road God, Jiang Ziya showed magical Taoism. At the request of Mahara Nobis, Song made a living museum for Jiang Ziya, located in the most prosperous Nanmen Street. After four business setbacks, Jiang Ziya learned the lesson and paid great attention to publicity when opening a new life museum. He put up three couplets inside and outside the life hall in one breath:

First, it's just a mystery, not an ordinary half sentence;

Second, an iron mouth really breaks the evil and the good in the world: two strange eyes, good at observing the defeat and glory in the world;

Third, the sleeves are big and the sun and the moon grow in the pot.

Unlike selling hedges and flour before, Jiang Ziya changed his silence and low profile. His three couplets are full of pride and domineering.

The first couplet, Jiang Ziya said, I never talk nonsense, I am telling the truth. In the second couplet, Jiang Ziya not only said that he could tell personal fortunes, but also could see through the rise and fall of the country. The third couplet, originally referring to the big sleeve, contains another gan Kun; After getting drunk, the days become very long. Here, Jiang Ziya said that she was pregnant with power, and the spell was mysterious. According to common sense, Jiang Ziya's propaganda efforts should achieve good results. However, the reality is just the opposite. It is estimated that Jiang Ziya posted too many couplets and the cowhide blew too loudly. As a result, for four or five months, there was no business in Jiang Ziya's life museum! About half a year after the opening of the museum, the first customer finally came to you. The client's name is Liu Gan.

I don't know how this Liu Gan passed by the Life Museum. Seeing Jiang Ziya dozing off at his desk, he went over and slapped the table. Jiang Ziya rubbed his eyes, woke up and asked why someone came. Liu Gan asked: Why don't you ask Mr. Qian Kun in the sleeve? The sun and the moon are long in the kettle. What does this couplet say? Listen to this question and you will understand that Liu Gan is here to kick the pavilion. Jiang Ziya was very calm and replied: Although the sleeves are dry and big, they know the past and never forget the teacher of the future; The sun and the moon grow in a pot, and Immortal Technique will live forever. Hearing this, Liu Gan decided that Jiang Ziya was boasting and boasting. So, he offered to calculate a divination. If it is accurate, thank you with a generous gift; If not, the life hall will be demolished. Jiang Ziya said: "This divination must be based on me." . Liu Gan agreed. Then, Jiang Ziya wrote a four-sentence post, telling Liu Gan to go, and everything would happen as written in the post. Liu Gan took the post and wrote:

Go straight south, there is an old man in Liu Yin, 120 green grass, four snacks and two bowls of wine. Liu Gan walked out of the south gate with firewood in his hand. After a long walk, I saw a house beside the willow forest. An old man stood at the door of his house and held out his hand and said, firewood is coming! The old man asked Liu Gan how much the firewood was. Jiang Ziya posted that Liu Gan could get 120 coppers for firewood, so Liu Gan deliberately said that he only sold 100 coppers for firewood. Hearing this, the old man said, Look at this good wood. I'm so sleepy that I don't even have a hundred words. The old man didn't bargain and promised to give it to 100.

The old man went to get money. Liu Gan saw some firewood leaves falling in the yard, so he swept them clean with a broom. When the old man came out, he said happily, brother! Today is my child's graduation. I met you, a good man. You sold good firewood. Then, the old man asked the servant to bring out four kinds of snacks, a bowl of wine and two letters of money. The old man said, one hundred essays are firewood, and there are twenty essays left. Today is my child's happy birthday. This is to make money and buy wine with you. When Liu Gan saw it, he was pleasantly surprised. He ran all the way back and shouted in front of the life hall: Teacher Jiang is really a fairy and can teach correctly; Chao Ge has this master, and everyone is blessed. Everyone knows how to avoid misfortune!

The above is the first story that Jiang Ziya predicted the future.

The second story is relatively simple. Jiang Ziya and Liu Gan asked for fortune-telling money, but Liu Gan refused to give it, so he hired another person to do it. That man walks like a fly with a belt around his waist. Liu Gan caught up with him, seized the business and asked him to tell his fortune. The official said: I have urgent documents to go, and I don't tell my fortune. Liu Gan said that Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling is very accurate, and today the other party can't live without it. If you don't tell your fortune, you will jump into the river and die. It depends on the business. I can't bear it, I can only walk into the life hall that has been surrounded by people. I crowded together on a business trip, saying that it was urgent, so I stopped telling my fortune and drew a sign directly. Jiang Ziya read the sign and wrote the comment on writing. The comment on writing said: this kind of divination meets the needs of money and food. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I have 103 tablets.

The official asked how much it cost, and Liu Gan asked for five yuan. Five dollars is not a small sum. Although the romance of worship of gods in Ming Dynasty is a story of Shang Dynasty, these social customs are more like one or two pieces of silver = ten coins = 1000 copper coins in Ming Dynasty. Five pence. That's 500 pence I have no choice but to go after paying the money. Two hours later, the official returned to Jiang Ziya's living hall with money and food. In front of everyone, the official announced: Mr. Jiang is a fairy, with fruit 103 ingots, and he really doesn't have five yuan for a class.

The above is the second story cleverly designed by Jiang Ziya.

The original text said: Ziya came from this and caused a sensation among the military and civilians. They are all here to tell fortune and watch classes. Five dollars a life, the money Ziya can afford, Ma Shi is happy, different people are happy. As for why Jiang Ziya's life museum business suddenly changed from lively to hot, the original work comes down to timing, that is, it works when it comes. Jiang Ziya was unlucky before. Now the luck has come, and Jiang Ziya has developed. What is luck at this time? Nothing, no trace. I think the author deliberately said this in order to confuse the readers. In my opinion, Jiang Ziya's two legendary stories of predicting the future are just a game painstakingly managed by Jiang Ziya.
