Chapter 24 Yuan Shoucheng

Uncle Er's words made me stunned. Judging from the results, I think this is nonsense, but judging from the principles it follows, it is not completely unreasonable.

After hearing these words, I sobered up most of the time. "Uncle Second, what you said is true or false? You are not fooling me, are you?"

The second uncle glared at him, "You boy! This is true. Why am I fooling you?"

I was still a little skeptical, "What you said is so lively, who can reach those three realms in history by the Star Gazing and Determination of the Wires?"

The second uncle sighed, "The three realms I just mentioned, the first realm, can be achieved by many people in the Faqiu Sect in history, including your grandfather, and even I understand one or two. But as far as I know, in recent thousands of years, only two people in the Faqiu Sect can do it. One is the General of the Faqiu Sect in the Three Kingdoms period, and the leader of the Faqiu Sect at that time, named Wen Ruoxing. The second person is the Feng Shui master of the Tang Dynasty, a master-level figure, Yuan Shoucheng! As for the ultimate realm, those who can do it may have to go to the ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to find it."

I became interested as soon as I heard this. It would be good if there were actual cases, at least it was somewhat convincing. "Uncle Second, what kind of person are Wen Ruoxing and Yuan Shoucheng?"

The second uncle thought for a while and said with some regret: "Although Wen Ruoxing was called General Qiu Zhonglang, the records left behind are extremely rare. According to legend, it was because he did a shocking thing and offended Cao Cao, so many related records were erased. However, some of the deeds of Yuan Shoucheng of the Tang Dynasty were passed down."

It is said that Yuan Shoucheng had already left his armor and returned to the fields in his later years. He no longer asked about the matter of the hills, and he no longer participated in the matter of finding the tomb and burrow. The idle clouds and wild cranes were free and unrestrained, neither serving as officials nor doing business. They just occasionally set up a stall on the market to make divination and stewardship for others.

Because of Yuan Shoucheng's extremely accurate divination, he was called the Divine Gua by the people.

At that time, there was a general in the city. He knew that Yuan Shoucheng had a very high reputation in the city and even surpassed him, and he felt very uncomfortable. Moreover, he did not believe that Yuan Shoucheng had such ability, and believed that Yuan Shoucheng was bluffing and talking nonsense and defrauding money. So he decided to find the bad luck of Yuan Shoucheng.

So, one day, the general came to Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram stall and asked him to divine him.

Yuan Shoucheng asked him what was going on for divination. The general said, "I am about to go out to fight and kill the enemy. I want you to figure out how the outcome of my battle will be, and how many enemies I kill. Moreover, if you calculate correctly, I will pay you a hundred times the amount of money for the hexagram, but if you calculate wrongly, I will smash your hexagram stall. Get out of the city and never come back!"

Yuan Shoucheng smiled faintly: "Okay! One word is determined!"

Then he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said, "This general must have returned with great victory. He killed 1,307 enemies this time, and the war ended at 3:00 noon."

The general gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! You must remember what you said today!" After that, the general turned around and left.

After the war was over that day, the Tang army naturally won a complete victory. The general ordered people to report to the time. The deputy general reported: "Return to the general, it is three o'clock in the afternoon!"

The general was shocked, but he didn't expect that time was exactly what Yuan Shoucheng said. So he ordered people to clean up the battlefield and report the number of enemies killed. Just the soldiers came to report, the number of enemies that were annihilated this time was 1,307. The general was shocked, but he was very angry, thinking that if he bowed his head to Yuan Shoucheng, he would be unable to calm down.

Unexpectedly, in order to defeat Yuan Shoucheng, the general secretly ordered his personal soldiers to massacre a total of 135 people in a nearby village, pretending to be enemy troops, and reporting to the court.

By the day the general returned, a reward order had been posted at the city gate, indicating that the general had won a great victory in a certain place and had wiped out 1,442 enemies, etc.

The general ordered someone to bring Yuan Shoucheng to the commendation order, and pointed it out to Yuan Shoucheng with pride, and told him to get out of the city immediately!

Yuan Shoucheng sneered, "In order to win me, you actually killed innocent people, pretended to be the enemy, and deceived the court. Your affairs will not be hidden for long. The imperial edict to kill you within three days will come, and your head will definitely fall into the ground within five days!"

The general immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shoucheng knew clearly about the fact that he killed innocent people.

Yuan Shoucheng patted the general's neck and said, "You don't need to hurry, I'll leave now." After that, he turned around and wanted to walk outside the city.

The general recovered and rode his horse to chase him. After finding Yuan Shoucheng, the general knelt down in front of Yuan Shoucheng with a pounce, "Sir, are such a god! I know I'm wrong! Please help me!" He said that and kowtowed for more than a dozen times.

Yuan Shoucheng sighed, "I have the intention to save you, but how can those more than a hundred unjust souls spare you!"

The general kowtowed again, and his head was bleeding.

Yuan Shoucheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Well, I will show you a way out."

The general was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Yuan Shoucheng told the general that the memorial for reporting him would be sent to the court by a red-clothed lieutenant riding a fast horse. One day, he would be able to stop the memorial, because the person who wanted to report him would die of wind and cold in a month. No one would mention this matter again, but if he could not stop it, the gods would not be able to save him.

The general thanked him here and was about to leave. At this moment, Yuan Shoucheng called him again and warned him: "Don't have the intention to kill again, otherwise, the wind of injustice will arise and life will be gone!"

The general made promises on the surface and then rode away on his horse.

When I returned to the mansion, the general thought secretly: I just need to intercept that memorial and I will have no worries about my life. I will kill the red-clothed lieutenant, and the matter will be over, otherwise it will be a hidden danger. Then I bribed the killer and ambushed at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

But unexpectedly, the red-clothed lieutenant encountered a strong wind and the horse was suddenly frightened. The red-clothed lieutenant was thrown under the horse and his leg was broken. He had no choice but to change to the water route and bypass Qingyun Mountain by boat. As a result, although the memorial was two days late, it was still sent to the court. Three days later, the imperial edict arrived, and within five days, the general's head fell to the ground.
