Chapter 73: A typical example of downward revision thinking!
Bai Sheng turned to the last few pages of "Free and Easy Wandering".
After learning the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword and the Splitting Light and Shadow Technique before...
Several new teachings have been added.
One of them,
The title is extremely simple, consisting of only three words.
The Plum Blossom Divination!
Below is a mnemonic device.
Further down are long, obscure, and difficult-to-understand annotations.
The gist is,
It explains how to use innate true essence as a guide.
To communicate with the energy of heaven and earth, and to predict good fortune and misfortune!
It is clearly an auxiliary method of divination and fortune telling.
Bai Sheng read the annotations twice from beginning to end.
According to Taoist texts
The Plum Blossom Divination is a divination technique evolved from the I Ching by ancient Qi practitioners.
These Qi practitioners made very significant contributions in this regard.
Specifically, this book, "Plum Blossom Divination,"
No need for tortoise shells, copper coins, yarrow stalks, or bamboo sticks.
These cumbersome things,
All it takes is a wisp of true essence to activate one's mind.
Then you can deduce the hexagrams in your mind's eye!
Bai Sheng thought to himself, "Wow, that's awesome!"
If this leads to a whole bunch of unnecessary trouble,
Where is he supposed to look?
Continue reading,
He found,
The scope of Plum Blossom Divination is not limited.
It can predict the weather, find lost items, and predict good or bad fortune in human affairs!
It could even be considered a bottleneck in the cultivator's own cultivation...
The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's mental power.
The more accurate the divination result, the better.
His current cultivation level is at the Foundation Establishment stage.
My mental strength has increased significantly since the breakthrough, it's a good time to give it a try!
"No wonder it was unlocked after the second level of Qi Condensation Technique. If it were only at the first level of mental strength, I'm afraid it would be completely unbearable."
He activated the golden true energy in his dantian according to the incantation.
A wisp of true essence was separated and traveled upwards along the Ren meridian.
It is located at the point between the eyebrows where spiritual energy converges.
In an instant,
In the sea of consciousness,
Several extremely thin golden rays of light appeared.
Arrange and combine on their own.
Fold horizontally and horizontally, fold horizontally and horizontally,
A complete hexagram was quickly pieced together deep within his consciousness.
"What does this mean?"
Bai Sheng was a little confused.
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, wait a minute!"
Suddenly, it felt as if these hexagrams were about to disappear.
Bai Sheng quickly pulled a ballpoint pen from the pen holder.
Draw the hexagram on a sticky note.
The upper trigram is Qian (☰), and the lower trigram is Xun (☴).
Qian represents Heaven, Xun represents Wind.
Tianfeng Gou!
I checked the Bagua chart and corresponding annotations in the Taoist classics.
The hexagram Gou signifies encounters and unions.
It means an unexpected encounter!
Bai Sheng thought about it for a moment.
What unexpected encounter?
Does this mean something good will happen today?
Of course, this accident is too unpredictable; what if it's a bad accident?
He stared at the hexagram for a moment, then turned to the next page.
Find the interpretation of the hexagram Xun's lines in the annotations.
The changing line is in the second position (line 2), and the text reads: "There is fish in the basket; no blame; it is not advantageous for guests!"
"Bao You Yu" means there is food in the kitchen, which signifies wealth or acquisition.
"No blame" means there is no harm.
"Unfavorable to guests" means that it is not suitable for guests to go out!
Bai Sheng leaned back in his chair and pondered the divination for a moment.
Making money and getting things is not good for going out!
This probably means he should stay home obediently for now.
Don't wander around.
Good fortune and opportunities will come to you on their own!
"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Bai Sheng placed the ballpoint pen on the sticky note.
Thinking this would save me trouble,
Anyway, I was exhausted after running around for several days in a row.
I'll just stay home and rest tomorrow.
He closed his textbook, locked it in the drawer, turned off the desk lamp, and lay back down on his bed.
sleep!
"..."
I just can't sleep!
The first divination yielded this result.
Bai Sheng gained more confidence in this newly learned divination technique.
"What if I used this technology to trade stocks or cryptocurrencies?!"
"Technical analysis? Fundamental analysis? Get out of my way!"
Bai Sheng couldn't help but fantasize that he was the future speculative investor.
"What a loser! Speculative capital is nothing!"
Bai Sheng shook his head.
There's no way around it, it's just a habit.
We are still often influenced by this kind of thinking.
"This is a classic example of downward revision thinking!"
Just do a couple of divinations and you can earn some pocket money!
Bai Sheng thought about it and decided that investing in stocks was really unnecessary.
After all, no matter how good you are at stocks, you can only manage to get one stock to hit its daily limit up...
There's another way!
Bai Sheng opened the cryptocurrency trading platform.
He had previously made a small profit of a few hundred yuan through stir-frying, but only made a few dozen yuan before running away with the money.
The main problem is that the principal is too small, and it's too tiring to monitor the market every day, making the cost-effectiveness extremely low!
But things are different now!
Calculating a hexagram is more efficient than constantly monitoring the market!
He transferred five thousand yuan into the account.
They opened a contract with 100x leverage right away!
100x leverage,
This means that a mere 1% increase can yield a 100% profit!
That means a one-point increase doubles the value!
In the past, only a gambling addict would dare to do this.
but now……
How can they be the same?!
Double,
This would allow him to maximize his profits to a level that would make him take it seriously!
After all, divination and fortune-telling also consume mental energy.
Bai Sheng first chose a mainstream cryptocurrency with the highest trading volume.
Forget about knockoffs.
Activate true essence,
A strand of hair splits off and travels upwards along the Ren meridian.
In a short time, a hexagram was pieced together in his mind.
The upper trigram is Zhen (震), and the lower trigram is Xun (巽).
Zhen represents thunder, Xun represents wind; thunder and wind are constant!
The hexagram Heng signifies "constancy" or "longevity".
It implies longevity and stability!
The changing line is in the fifth line, and the line text is: "Hold fast to its virtue, be steadfast, good for women, bad for men!"
It means that upholding virtue will bring good fortune.
Bai Sheng stared at the divination chart for a moment and pondered.
The hexagram Heng signifies permanence, indicating that once the direction is clear, one should act in accordance with the trend!
The hexagram text also says that women will have good fortune, and that they will profit by acting with gentleness and compliance.
This is to encourage him to go long with the trend and not go short against it!
He decisively placed a buy order at the current price, with 100x leverage.
Go all in!
All in!!!
After placing the order, I don't even monitor the market.
Bai Sheng placed his phone on the bedside table.
I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water.
The calico cat thought he wanted to feed it a treat.
She jumped off the sofa and followed him around, tilting her head back and meowing at him.
"No snacks."
Bai Sheng patted its head.
He offered words of comfort.
The calico cat seemed to understand human nature quite well, and simply ran off.
After Bai Sheng finished drinking the water and using the restroom,
I took out my phone and played a game of Honor of Kings.
Only then did he pick up his phone and glance at the market information.
The long positions entered are still profitable!
The current candlestick chart shows a stable upward trend.
but,
It has deviated from the moving average indicator by a certain proportion.
Overbought signals are starting to flash!
Bai Sheng didn't hesitate and closed his position immediately!
This single transaction yielded a profit of over 100%!
My account balance jumped to 4.6!
"I fucked it!"
Bai Sheng was overjoyed.
That's such a sneaky trick!
He emptied Lao Zhuang's pocket forty thousand yuan!
Bai Sheng withdrew most of his profits from the platform.
I left the principal and a small portion of the profit in the account to prepare for the next battle.
However, I found that my mental energy was being depleted and I couldn't continue.
"Brilliant!"
Although he was mentally exhausted, Bai Sheng still felt great.
He leaned back on the sofa and started grinning like an idiot.
Plum Blossom Easy Placement is a game-changer in the trading market!
After two divinations, my temples started to feel slightly swollen.
With his current cultivation level, he can only perform one or two deductions every three days at most!
But this simulation is sufficient.
I can easily make a few orders each month and have more than enough to cover my living expenses!
