Idiom story

Who is in charge? He is a famous warlock in Wei state during the Three Kingdoms period, and now the Grandmaster of the first son of divination. His main works include two volumes of Tongling Jue in the book of changes, one volume of Tongling Jue in the book of changes, one volume of broken manic classic and one volume of Zhanji. Guan was diligent, quick witted and fond of astronomy. When he was 15 years old, he was familiar with Zhouyi and was familiar with divination. There's a story about him, which says that his divination is magical. Xinduling's wife was suffering from head wind, and his son was suffering from heartache. He couldn't be cured, so please come to take care of him. Guan pinched his fingers and said, "there are two dead bodies in the west corner of this hall: one man holding a spear and the other a bow and arrow. The head is in the wall and the foot is outside. The spear holder mainly stabs the head, so he has a headache; the bow and arrow holder mainly stabs the chest and abdomen, so he has a heartache. " Xinduling asked people to dig eight feet. As expected, they found two coffins, one with spears, the other with bows and arrows. The coffins were rotten. Guanfu asked people to remove the bones and bury them outside the city. Soon, the letter made his wife and son get better. Over time, Guan's name of Shensuan spread to Luoyang, the capital city. He Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Deng Kai, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, felt that it was quite magical. One day, after they were full of wine and food, they sent Guan to have fun and do divination for them. Guan Fu has long heard that these two people are the confidants of Cao Shuang, Cao Cao's nephew. They are not good people. He wants to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson. As soon as he saw Guan, he yelled to let him quickly calculate his fortune to see if he could get a promotion and make a fortune. He said to Guan Fu, "I always dream of flies biting my nose these nights. What's the matter with you?" Guan Fu thought for a while and said, "once upon a time, Duke Zhou was honest and honest, founding a country and setting up a career. Now your position is higher than that of Duke Zhou, but few people are grateful to you, but many people are afraid of you. I'm afraid that's not a good omen. Your dream, measured by divination, is a bad look. "Then he said," if you want to turn the bad into the good and take refuge, you have to be kind-hearted and do good deeds. " When he Yan heard this, he turned pale and said nothing. Deng said with disapproval: "these are all platitudes. They are meaningless." Guan Fu laughs: "although it's a platitude, it can't be taken lightly!" Soon, he Yan, Deng Kai and Cao Shuang conspired against each other and were killed. After hearing the news, Guan said with emotion: "they ignore the old saying, no wonder it has come to such an end!"
