Chapter 396 "White Ape Feng Shui and Rain Map"

The topic ended and the room became quiet.

For a moment, everyone became idle.

Although he had already started the company, there was no shocking task due to the start-up of the company. Lin Jian sat on the sofa as usual, holding a teacup in his hand, siping a sip of fragrant tea from time to time, then took out his mobile phone to browse the news, and passed the time leisurely.

During this period, a neighbor came to the door, but he only bought incense candles worth dozens of yuan.

Lin Jian didn't care too much, so he got up and collected the money, and after sending the guests away with a smile, he wrote down a sum in the account book quite casually - no matter what, this is a business, and it's a meal of breakfast.

Ding Jintong sat in front of the computer and began to post promotional advertisements online, and conscientiously solicited business for the newly established company.

Bai Xiao also felt bored. He looked around with black eyes and took a book about Feng Shui from the bookshelf next to him, and returned to the bench he had sat on before to look.

Anyway, she was just passing the time, and she didn't want to find any interesting books to read.

Lin Jian’s books are basically “model projects”, and they look old and are a bit suspicious of deliberate imitation. As for the source, she suspected that she was called “jin” from the old book stall in the next block, otherwise how could there be so many?

But it’s not to mention that although the books are a little old, they are more sincere than the “empty shell sample books” in the study rooms of many people.

I took it in my hand and found that the book was called "White Ape Feng Shui Rain Picture", which is a line-based ancient book about the folk spirit. The cover is simple kraft paper color, and there are not many fancy places on the front. It is basically all blank, and the title is marked on the upper left side of the cover.

As for the author, Bai Xiao was shocked when he looked closely. He turned out to be the famous Ming Dynasty adviser Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen is a legendary figure. In history, Liu Bowen assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in pacifying the world, and the plan was established, and no one could predict it. Zhu Yuanzhang called him "my son's house" many times. Among the people, there is also a saying that "three parts of the world, and unify the country and the country; the military advisor of the former dynasty Zhuge Liang, and the military advisor of the later dynasty Liu Bowen."

It can be seen that Liu Bowen is famous for his "masterious and strategic planning".

When people talk about Liu Bowen, in addition to assisting Zhu Yuanzhang in pacifying the world, the most talked about is the song "Shaobian Song" he left behind, which is said to have predicted the "destiny of the country" in later generations.

Liu Ji's "Song of Shaobing" by the Ming Dynasty and "Tuibei Tu" by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as the pinnacle of ancient prophetic classics. At least in terms of influence, it is indeed talked about by many people.

Although there is also a saying that the so-called "Shaobing Song" is just a hypothetical work of later generations - even if the "Yongle Encyclopedia" does record the existence of "Shaobing Song", the part of the "prophecy" before the "Yongle Encyclopedia" was written may have been fabricated. Those who like "Tuibei Tu" believe that it is not as magical as the rumors say, and it is more just a group of people who are over-interpreting and far-fetched.

Bai Xiao has heard of these statements, but she doesn't care much.

The reason why Liu Bowen can be deified is that he has a matching strategy. If such a strange man has his works, it is definitely worth reading for this background.

Could it be that the book "White Ape Feng Shui Rain Picture" in his hand was really written by him?

Looking at the slightly yellowed paper, Bai Xiao looked surprised.

Liu Bowen has been around for more than 600 years, and the way he reads this book doesn’t seem to look like he has a history of more than 600 years.

But considering Lin Jian’s family background, she was not sure. Let’s take a look first!

When you open the cover and enter the title page, the first thing you see is the preface written by the author.

The content is arranged from right to left and from top to bottom. Since it is a hand-copied copy version, the font is sloppy and it is obscure to read.

Bai Xiao took a rough look and quickly swept past.

Fortunately, after the preface, the following content is a combination of pictures and texts. The specific content is to explain the human life theory and the earth's laws corresponding to various meteorological phenomena. Such as neon lights, fog, sun haze and other phenomena, etc., and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a more systematic astronomical and meteorological theory. Bai Xiao's eyes wandered, and he regarded it as an ancient popular science work, but he read it with relish and was immersed in it for a while.

After reading for a while, Bai Xiao raised his head and asked, "Lin Jian, where did you get this "White Ape Feng Shui Rain Picture"? It seems to be a bit old."

When Lin Jian heard her question, he was stunned. Then he saw the book in her hand. He couldn't help but smile and said, "This is found in the suitcase left by my grandfather. It is said that the original work is a relatively rare lonely book. My grandfather's version is a copy, but it is also relatively rare."

"I put it on the bookshelf. When customers come to the door, they also seem to be more professional here!"

Bai Xiao nodded when he heard this. It is said that people rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold clothes, and business requires the creation of the environment. A good background environment can undoubtedly better win customers and achieve business.

"The cover says that this book was written by Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that this big shot was really written by this boss?"

"How can I say this... I can't explain it clearly for a while."

Lin Jian was stunned for a moment, his expression was unnatural.

"It's very complicated?" Bai Xiao asked unexpectedly.

"It's not too complicated, it's just lacking a certain basis."

Lin Jian put down the teacup and shook his head: "This "White Ape Feng Shui Rain Picture" is also called "White Ape Sutra·Wind Rain Zhanhou Sayings". According to legend, it can be traced to the Three Kingdoms period when Zhuge Liang was in. However, due to the age of time and many copies, the collection left behind has several versions. Some people think that this book was written by Zhuge himself, so some versions are also called "White Ape Sutra" or "Wuhou Baiyuan Jing", but some people think that it is just a fake book made up by people before the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is no need to write it, so they don't know the specific author at all."

"...Anyway, it's just a mess, and I can't explain it clearly."

"What about this one in my hand?"

"The book in your hand is said to be annotated by Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty by Zhuge Liang's "White Ape Jingzhan". It can be considered as a supplement to Liu Bowen's "White Ape Jingzhan" written by Zhuge Liang, a predecessor."

"It is said?" Bai Xiao was surprised.

"Yes, because this statement may not be credible. Throughout history, there have been more celebrities who have been hit by the car! Perhaps it is possible that the publisher at that time deliberately hangs Liu Bowen's name in order to sell books."

Bai Xiao nodded after hearing this, "It seems that just like the celebrity Lu Xun, he also said a lot of things he had never said before. The ancient version of "What Lu Xun said does to me, Zhou Shuren."

"No, this is the celebrity effect." Lin Jian said with a smile.

"Speaking of this book, since Lin Jian's grandfather copied it from the orphan book, the content recorded must have a history of more than a hundred years. As for the book itself, it is an old object." Ding Jintong's eyes left the computer screen and suddenly interrupted.

Bai Xiao looked at the yellowed paper and nodded deeply.

"That's it! No matter whether it was written by Zhuge Liang or not, even if it was not annotated by Liu Bowen, after so long, it is still a treasure."

Lin Jian laughed: "Of course! This is an old object passed down by my grandfather, and it is also very valuable in itself."

"But back to the authenticity of the "White Ape Feng Shui Rain Picture", it is actually not that Liu Bowen did, which is more likely." Lin Jian changed his mind.

"Why?" Bai Xiao looked over in surprise. After a long time of trouble, was the book in her hand really a fake?

Seeing her surprised look, Lin Jian smiled faintly and narrowed his eyes and said, "The grandfather left her luggage before. It records her grandfather's analysis. He thought that the original lonely book was probably fake, but considering that even if the author was fake, the content inside was detailed and had great research value, he copied it."

"Do you want to know how my grandpa judged?"

Bai Xiao didn't speak and nodded gently.

Lin Jian immediately sat up straight, blinked at Bai Xiao, and said happily: "Then let my brother analyze it for you."

"Tell me!" Bai Xiao frowned unhappily, and he was my brother. Lin Jian is really jumping more and more, taking advantage of her.

"Okay!" Lin Jian jumped up with a "teng", dragged a small stool and sat next to Bai Xiao, stretched out his finger and pointed at the book in her hand.

"Look at the "White Ape Feng Shui Rain Picture" in your hand. The cover says it was written by Liu Bowen. The title page also contains the preface he wrote in the fourth year of Hongwu. It looks very similar. However, my grandfather read a lot of books and found that the Sun Nebula Cloud Picture appeared in this book is very similar to another ancient book called "Astronomy Detailed Changes", so there is reason to suspect that it was compiled by a beneficiary, which is the first doubt."

"Secondly, the notes and prefaces of this book are written very shallowly, not like Liu Bowen's writings. This is the second doubt."

Liu Bowen was a Jinshi in the Zhishun period of the Yuan Dynasty, especially in poetry, military, and mathematics. He was also known as the "Three Greatest Poetry and Prose in the Early Ming Dynasty". His literary attainments can be said to be quite profound, and the "self-preface" level was much worse.

"And the last doubt is also the most critical. Liu Bowen died in the eighth year of Hongwu. According to the "Mingliang Lulu", before his death, he handed over books related to astronomy to his eldest son, so that he could read it after filial piety, but he warned him not to let his descendants learn it. Liu Bowen's knowledge was unwilling to pass it on to his descendants, so how could he write a comment on "White Ape Jingzhan" to preserve it for future generations?"

After listening to it, Bai Xiao also felt that the book in his hand was unlikely to be true.
