PFC Chapter 472: Physiognomy Inheritance
Chapter 472: Physiognomy Inheritance
On Zhuque Street in Chang'an, there were crowds of people and it was very noisy.
The shops on the street are full of goods, laughter and chatter can be heard from the wine shops and tea houses, and the air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies.
However, in this lively atmosphere, three people seemed out of place. They walked on the street dejectedly, not at all affected by the hustle and bustle around them.
It was getting dark, but they had no plans to go home.
These three people are all people who study physiognomy.
People who study physiognomy seem to have an inescapable fate - loneliness.
Because it is too easy to see through people's hearts, they often end up alone.
Li Chunfeng, dressed in a blue shirt, had a handsome face and eyes that showed intelligence and agility. But at this moment, he turned to look at Yuan Tiangang beside him with a bit of helplessness.
Yuan Tiangang, this old man who has long been famous in the physiognomy world, for some reason, fell in love with packing.
In the past, during the New Year's Day celebrations, he would always carefully pack some delicious food, which was an indispensable ritual in his life.
It has been a long time since he last packed at the New Year's Day celebrations. He always feels uncomfortable all over, and even his bones feel itchy.
"Old man Yuan, the divination you gave last time wasn't very accurate. I see that our Tang Dynasty shows no signs of decline at all, but is actually getting better and better. It seems that you are becoming less and less useful as you age!"
Li Chunfeng was bored and couldn't help but teasing Yuan Tiangang.
Over the years, he and Yuan Tiangang have studied physiognomy together. Although he admires Yuan Tiangang's abilities, he can't help but bicker with him occasionally.
Zhang Xuanwei, who was standing aside, was dressed in white and had an elegant temperament. He was also curious about Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy.
As the spokesperson for Ma Yi Shen Xiang, he had worked with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng for many years, so he naturally knew what Yuan Tiangang was talking about.
However, relying on the Ma Yi physiognomy he had learned, he could not see any danger of the Tang Dynasty being overthrown.
On the contrary, he saw that the fortune of the Tang Dynasty was rising steadily, and there seemed to be several golden dragons circling in the sky, an auspicious sign.
This also made him question Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy many times.
In the past, Yuan Tiangang mostly laughed off their doubts and ignored them.
But today, his expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at the two juniors in front of him with a serious expression, his face extremely deep.
"You have learned the current physiognomy. Any physiognomy will not violate the principles."
Yuan Tiangang's voice was low but remarkably clear. "From prosperity comes decline, from decline comes life. This is the principle. You can only see prosperity, but not decline. Don't you think something is wrong?"
His gaze shifted from Li Chunfeng to Zhang Xuanwei, with a hint of instruction in his eyes.
Yuan Tiangang looked at Zhang Xuanwei and continued, "You, kid, have learned Ma Yi's physiognomy quite well. Unfortunately, it's still a little worse than your master, Shi Laogui. If he were still alive, he would definitely be able to see the same thing as Yuan."
"You can only see clearly now, but you can't see far."
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Zhang Xuanwei felt a surge of dissatisfaction in his heart.
He has been studying Ma Yi's physiognomy since he was young. He is extremely talented and hardworking, and has achieved some success in physiognomy.
At this moment, he couldn't help but retort, "It's only natural that prosperity will eventually decline. But how could our Tang Dynasty, being so powerful, decline so quickly? It's been at least three hundred years, right? How can I predict that?"
His tone was full of confidence and good expectations for the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chunfeng nodded in agreement after hearing Zhang Xuanwei's words. He also felt that the Tang Dynasty was now strong, politically sound, and its people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was hard to imagine it declining in such a short time.
In his opinion, Yuan Tiangang's worries might be unfounded.
Yuan Tiangang looked at Zhang Xuanwei and suddenly laughed. There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in that smile.
"Three hundred years, even thirty years is difficult. That's why you can only see the present clearly, but not the future."
"If the Tang Dynasty declines, I hate to see it more than any of you, but God's will cannot be violated."
He sighed slowly.
"I hope it's true as you say. I must have been mistaken. It's about three hundred years. Enjoy the present. You kids, wait and see. I'm afraid you won't have such happy days again in the future!"
Yuan Tiangang looked at the two of them with deep emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at his juniors, and as if he was looking at the future of the Tang Dynasty.
"Everyone believes that the times will progress and become better, and that each day will be better than the last. However, Your Majesty is not an immortal in heaven after all. Only God knows what will happen in the future."
Yuan Tiangang looked into the distance, as if he had traveled through time and space and saw all the variables of the future.
"You guys, remember this."
He turned around and pointed at the lights of thousands of houses behind him.
The bright lights reflect the prosperity of Chang'an.
“Never think that things will get better in the future. Just endure it now and it will pass. The future will never be as good as the present.”
“When you start to miss the past, the time you thought was the worst might actually be the best time in your life.”
"Remember, remember everything. Keep the Tang Dynasty in your heart."
"Never forget! Today's Qianwu prosperous era!"
His words echoed in the night sky with a shocking power.
Li Chunfeng and Zhang Xuanwei couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in their hearts as they listened to Yuan Tiangang's words.
They never thought that Yuan Tiangang was so pessimistic about the future of the Tang Dynasty.
In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak and everything was full of hope.
But Yuan Tiangang's words made them start to re-examine their understanding of the future.
The three of them continued walking silently on the street. At this time, the lights on Zhuque Street were on and the night market was bustling with activity.
The street performers' acrobatic performances drew cheers from the crowd, the hawkers' cries of hawking were heard one after another, and people enjoyed the joy of life to the fullest on this bustling night.
But their hearts were filled with Yuan Tiangang's words, and they ignored the excitement around them.
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He recalled his years of research on physiognomy. He had always made great achievements in physiognomy by relying on his observation skills.
But Yuan Tiangang's words made him realize that what he saw might just be superficial prosperity, and the real future was hidden deeper.
He began to reflect on whether his optimistic judgment about the future of the Tang Dynasty was too one-sided.
Zhang Xuanwei's heart was also not at peace.
As the successor of Ma Yi's physiognomy, he has always been confident in his physiognomy skills.
But Yuan Tiangang's words made him doubt his own abilities.
He recalled the image of the circling golden dragon of the Tang Dynasty's fortune that he had seen. Could it be that it was just a temporary appearance?
Is the real crisis hiding in the shadows? He felt a strong desire to learn more about the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the two juniors who were lost in thought and sighed inwardly.
He knew that his words might be a little heavy for them, but this was the future he had seen after years of studying physiognomy.
Physiognomy is not only a tool for prediction, but also a profound insight into the laws of nature and life.
The Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous now, but the law of prosperity and decline is difficult to violate.
He hopes that the two young people can understand the truth, cherish the current prosperity, and prepare for future changes.
As time passed and the night grew deeper, the crowds on Suzaku Street gradually dispersed and shops began to close one after another.
The three of them unknowingly reached the end of the street.
Yuan Tiangang stopped and looked at the two young men in front of him and said, "It's getting late, go home."
"Think carefully about what I said today."
After saying that, he turned around and slowly left, his back looking a little lonely in the dim light.
Li Chunfeng and Zhang Xuanwei looked at each other, said goodbye, and walked in different directions.
They all had thoughts in their minds and their steps became a little heavy.
That night, the physiognomy debate on the streets of Zhuque changed their perception of the future of the Tang Dynasty.
They didn't know what the future would be like, but they knew that this was Yuan Tiangang's inheritance to them.
A selfless inheritance of physiognomy, even if Zhang Xuanwei is the successor of the Mayi School.
The mystery is out, waiting for them to solve and see.
When will you be able to see the future? When will you be able to master physiognomy?
This also means that Yuan Tiangang’s days are numbered.
