This dynasty is the Li Dynasty.The young prince in Huafu is named Li Xu, he is not the second prince, but the grandson of the third emperor, his father is the second son of the emperor, the current King Heng.

Li Xu is not a descendant of a concubine, and he is not the eldest son of a concubine. His status as a side concubine makes his position a bit detached among the concubines, because there is an elder brother who is a descendant who has inherited the position of the son, and the rest of them, the concubines, have nothing to contend with. Yes, just go to school honestly every day.

The emperor has been in power for a long time, seeing his son impatient, but seeing these grandsons are happy. Since they were young, many grandsons have been detained in the palace to study. They have specially invited famous teachers to teach them. The results of the teaching are inevitable. Good and bad are mixed. of.

The status of King Heng is somewhat similar to that of Li Xu. His mother is the queen's younger sister and the prince's aunt. The two families are already a family. He and the prince grew up together. They have a very good relationship. The title of prince under him also left the brothers under him with nothing to contend for.

Therefore, the life of Prince Heng's Mansion is quite stable.

In such a stable and wealthy life, as long as they are not completely corrupted, or aspiring to fight for the throne, they will work hard to develop some hobbies.

Li Xu's hobby is astrology, and its origin may be the result of crying at night when he was young and being hugged by his nurse to count the stars.

The above is purely Ji Mo's analysis, and it may not be true, but if you have a hobby, you have it, no matter where it comes from?

In short, with Li Xu's status, he has the conditions and the ability to choose the hobbies he wants and work hard to develop them.

Astrology and other things, in general, it is taboo for ordinary people to know that there is chaos, but it is nothing for the royal family to know. Every night when the weather is fine, you can see the stars, but not everyone can see the stars when they look up. Anyone can predict something after seeing it.

Li Xu is very interested in the knowledge of astrology, mainly in this part of prediction.

"...it's cyclical."

Li Xu talked about a flood, which was also predicted by Si Tianjian. Before Ji Mo told him that the calculation was mysterious and mysterious, and nine out of ten it was idealism. He took this as an example and asked Ji Mo to explain that since it is idealism, Why is it right this time?

Ji Mo directly told him that this is a cycle, "The specific season may have one or two changes, but how many years have already been recorded and summarized by the predecessors. The trajectory of the astrology changes to the same position and it is predicted that the flood will happen again... It can also be understood as the tide of star force, the change of the ground magnetic field caused by the difference in gravity, thus causing the flood..."

Li Xu listened thoughtfully, seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand, "Like solar terms and calendars?"

"It can be understood in this way. Of course, human factors must be excluded, such as cutting down too many trees in the upstream, resulting in soil erosion, and flooding in the downstream..."

Ji Mo also told Li Xu about the knowledge of geography. Ancient maps are also classified as secrets, which are not accessible to ordinary people, but these secrets are common information to Si Tianjian. The celestial map is symmetrical, and the celestial stars are used to locate it. It seems clear at a glance how the feng shui of a certain place is, where the wind brings the moist air mass, which leads to heavy rain, and the heavy rain leads to floods.

The weather changes in various places recorded every year, these data compiled by the government are not so comprehensive. Specifically, there will be records only when there is a disaster, otherwise it is an ordinary day. Mostly it will take some time to remember when something happens.

This part of the records is usually one or two sentences mixed in the official notebooks, which are summarized and excerpted by Si Tianjian, and it becomes the hard-won information stored here.

The prediction part of astrological knowledge is based on the soundness of these data, and it can be compared with the past few years at every turn, so as to predict the possibility and time period of similar things happening in the future, and only then can the seemingly mysterious and accurate predictions be made. result.

"That's right, it's doable."

Li Xu thought about it carefully. If there are enough data for comparison, the law of this kind of thing can be summed up. It's like it's rainy in summer, and it rains more before and after certain solar terms.

"There is another explanation, do you want to listen?"

Seeing that he was serious, Ji Mo became interested for a while, so he asked with great interest.

"Let's talk about it." Seeing him like this, Li Xu became interested and asked him to speak directly.

Between the two of them, it was said that the status of master and apprentice was determined by the apprenticeship, but this appointment was only Li Xu's personal appointment, there was no official official apprenticeship ceremony, and the two families only came to give gifts in the name of the side concubine. It means that the name of this teacher is still very watery.

Even Ji Mo's job has not changed, he is still working in Sitianjian, and Sitianjian is sending Ji Mo more assistants, so that his work can be separated, tacitly allowing him to have more time to teach Li Xu .

Ji Mo's attitude towards this matter is to teach well, but there is no need to be too serious. The other party will definitely not be able to become an astrologer in the future. The face is meticulous.

In addition, the age difference between the two is not very big, and they can be regarded as peers, so their words are more casual.

"Every time there is a change in the sky, there must be a feeling on the ground. If the ants move to the tree, it may mean that rain is about to fall, and the cattle and horses are disturbed, and it may mean that the earth dragon will rise... If there is a natural disaster, as the primate of all things, human beings How can one be unaware, some people are uneasy, some people have warning signs... Knowing the heavens and respecting fate, one should feel it... For the astrologer, it is a kind of inspiration in the dark, turned into a guess, driving the calculation, From the vast selection in one glance..."

This kind of explanation really has some elements of metaphysics. Are people really stupid?Sometimes, you will find that some people respond to crises faster than their minds. What is the reason for this?It's just a crisis response made by Qian Linghui.

If it is placed in the world of witchcraft, it is to visualize the heaven and the earth so as to achieve the unity of heaven and man. There are omens for the change of heaven, which can be obtained from the visualization, and then turned into a predicted reality.

Applying this kind of understanding to look at the part of the astrologer's mysterious and mysterious prediction, Ji Mo can't understand it, but the explanation is somewhat inconsistent.

The former said he didn't believe it, because there was a cycle long ago, and the law had already been formed, and the latter said he believed it, because he had a feeling from stargazing, and the calculation came true.

Li Xu looked at Ji Mo, not knowing how to evaluate such inconsistency, but Ji Mo didn't mean to explain any more, he just said: "Thousands of changes are all in one mind, and you can't explain it all. You can interpret it according to what you want to believe. , if there is a better explanation, it is not unbelievable."

There is no standard answer to this kind of thing, just justify yourself.

The world only sees the predictions that are accurate, but how can they see the inaccurate predictions?

Ji Mo is in the Sitianjian, so he knows a little more, and he knows how many of these things are actually predicted accurately, and how many of them are inaccurate predictions that have been discarded.

It's like many people superstitiously believe in nursery rhyme prophecies, thinking that all of them come true, it's really amazing, I don't know what kind of expert they are, making this prophecy is really incredible and mysterious.

Actually?

If Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were able to win the world back then, wouldn't the prophecy and aphorisms they made come true?

I don’t know how many nursery rhymes are like this every year, and the ones that are really remembered are only a few that come true later. Thinking about it this way, does it mean that there is no mystery at all?

If you meet someone who is obsessed with it, make a few more nursery rhymes every year, from all directions, and bet on them all. If one of them wins in the end, it will be said that the prophecy has come true, and if you hide the rest, who will know? ?

Not to mention that in order to maintain the credibility of Si Tianjian, only those that come true will be widely announced, and others will not be known to outsiders. In the eyes of outsiders, isn't it because Si Tianjian is really good?

To put it bluntly, this kind of method is not uncommon. If you talk about magic, you can’t say it’s not there. It’s like the guessing game. If there is one person who guesses right, he can win again and again. It should be said that it is luck, or extraordinary wisdom ?Could it be that the God of Probability blessed him?

"Is that so?"

"I feel that you are fooling me, but I have no proof." Li Xu's eyes were so straightforward that Ji Mo found it funny, and he said bluntly: "I was like that back then, and I am still like this now..."

Inherent concepts are not so easy to break, Ji Mo still faces this kind of trouble now, you want to say that the guess is cheating, but there is no evidence, is it really the God of Gamblers, there is no way to stop it ?

Among them, the mysterious is also mysterious, if you have to say that there is, then there is.

If you say no, it's hard to explain.

"In this world, there are always some truths that cannot be understood now. Those who have a feeling in their hearts and are sure to hit it, their luck must be full."

Ji Mo never blocked the road, so how can it be said that there must be no gods?How does that explain certain things?

Li Xu nodded, seeming to share the same feeling, and sighed: "Or the intuition of a warrior."

The two looked at each other, feeling sorry for each other, what could they do in the face of such people?

Ji Mo thought again of Ji Huan's infallible search for objects. Can you tell me what the reason behind this is?He has tried it himself, and if he hits [-] out of [-] times, it is considered a super-level performance. How did the opponent achieve such high accuracy?This is obviously unscientific!

That's all, that's all, some things are really hard to explore, maybe it's because of experience.

That intuition, or sixth sense, is used here, which is just right.

"There are not many books of this kind in the palace, and there are many orphaned books. Just watch, and I'll look for them later." Li Xu took out the bookcase and handed it to Ji Mo, in which was the orphaned book he brought out from the palace. Waiting for books may be named as a secret collection, and they are not shown to the outside world, so there may be amazing gains.

Ji Mo thanked him, and also handed over the two books he had summarized, and put them in the same bookcase, and the two exchanged, "My summary should be better understood, you read it first, if it doesn't work, I'll go find the original .”

"That's good." Li Xu didn't care to read the original books, and the books explained by Ji Mo are easier for him to understand, which is very good.
