Chapter 2, Physiognomy

Yan Pengchao widened his eyes, while Wang Yang began to understand that Yan Pengchao's lungs indeed had issues, though he could not yet determine the exact illness. This realization made him aware that even with knowledge of physiognomy, one is not omnipotent; at least from the facial and palm readings, it was impossible to discern the specific ailment.

Did I say it correctly

Upon a sudden thought, Wang Yang couldn't help but chuckle in silence. It is indeed remarkable that fortune-telling can reveal even the nature of illnesses; one might as well consider it divine, or perhaps even more capable than doctors. Doctors still need to rely on instruments for examinations, follow-up visits, and so forth before they can make a definitive diagnosis. Someone like him, who can discern where ailments lie, is already quite impressive

Ma Teng, please bring me the phone

If everything said in the "Huangji Jingshi" is true, it is possible that this Ma Yi Daoist is one of the disciples of the "Huangji Jingshi". The so-called "Ma Yi Xiang Fa" is merely a small part of the one hundred and eight volumes of the "Huangji Jingshi"

Wang Yang turned his head and said with a smile, "I told you that after this fall, my mind has indeed become clearer. Do you believe it?"

No, but I have been coughing a lot recently. There was a period when I was coughing particularly hard. While I was at school, I thought about going to the hospital to have it checked, but I got busy and forgot. Then we all came to the Tibetan area together

Rest assured, it won't be long before you become wealthy; your financial fortune will come after the age of 22

After some thought, Wang Yang decided to speak directly. Firstly, Yan Pengchao's health is compromised, but not severely. The pallor on his face is faint, and the redness in the lung area of his hands is not bright red, indicating that he has not been ill for long. The current threat is not significant, and early treatment can lead to a quicker recovery

According to the content in Wang Yang's mind, the "Huangji Jing Shi" existed quite early, but it was truly shaped under the hand of Emperor Xuanyuan. It has undergone several supplements over time and has made several appearances in history, each time causing a sensation. Moreover, those who brought it into the world have left behind several works.

Wang Yang once pursued a girl who had a strong belief in fortune-telling. She often went out to have her fortune told, and whenever she encountered a temple or a Daoist shrine, she would invariably go inside. When she met deities or Buddhas, she would definitely offer incense. Due to her interests, Wang Yang specifically purchased several books on physiognomy, with the one he read the most being "The Divine Physiognomy of Ma Yi"

Who told you that men are on the left and women are on the right? Not everything is like that. The belief that men are on the left and women on the right when reading palms is a folk misconception that has now been taken seriously. When reading palms, one should look at the right hand, as the right hand is the primary basis for judgment, while the left hand serves as a supplement

After Wang Yang observed Ma Teng's facial features, he replied, and Ma Teng broke into a grin. He is twenty-one this year and will graduate next year, which means he will have financial fortune right after graduation. This outcome is certainly satisfying; even if it is merely flattery, he is very happy, as everyone enjoys hearing pleasant words

The phone is not broken, and surprisingly the signal in the hospital is quite good. As soon as Wang Yang got his phone, he immediately started searching.

Four people share a dormitory, and their relationship is quite good. The family conditions of the other three are average, while only Sun He comes from a family that runs a business. Although it is not large, it can be considered somewhat affluent. This is one of the reasons why his approach to life and interactions with others differs slightly from the others. The different living environments since childhood have naturally led to distinct personalities.

As he took his seat, the gazes of Sun He and Ma Teng were immediately directed towards him, both wearing expressions of suspicion.

Sun He, come a little closer to me

Yan Pengchao went out to buy food, while Wang Yang lay there with his eyes closed, reminiscing about the words and images that had appeared earlier. These things seemed to be imprinted in his mind, and the more he thought about them, the greater his shock became. Suddenly, Wang Yang sat up, and his eyes opened.

Sun He and the other two fell asleep one after another, but Wang Yang was still awake. He was immersed in the countless words and images from the "Huangji Jingshi" in his mind. Unbeknownst to him, a white force was slowly gathering within his body, ultimately converging at his dantian.

Sun He turned back and asked Wang Yang a question. Wang Yang had just been talking to himself, his voice very soft, and he did not hear clearly what Wang Yang had said

Wang Yang immediately spoke up, mentioning that he had previously dropped both himself and his phone down the slope while taking a selfie. Fortunately, the quality of this domestic phone was sturdy enough, and it did not break upon falling. His phone had been kept in his bag all along, and Ma Teng walked over to deliver it to his bedside.

Although the two ultimately could not be together, he indeed read most of the content of "The Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy," much of which corresponds with the content in "The Huangji Classic of Governance." According to Wang Yang's previous research, "The Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy" can be regarded as a monumental work in physiognomy, derived from "The Ma Yi Physiognomy," whose founder is the Ma Yi Daoist.

Sun He shook his head, slowly eating the food in front of him. The food did not taste good; the plateau environment was different from the plains where they lived. On the first day of his arrival, Sun He experienced some altitude sickness, but he has now adapted. However, he has always been dissatisfied with the food.

The most important point is that he used to be unable to understand "The Divine Mirror of Ma Yi" at all, but now, when he recalls the content he read back then, he can immediately grasp its meaning and knows how to apply it. This transformation has left Wang Yang himself immensely astonished

Sun He walked over and glanced at the liquid hanging above Wang Yang. Once this bottle of liquid was finished, it would be over. Wang Yang mentioned that there was no need for an examination tomorrow, but he still intended to have Wang Yang undergo a thorough re-examination tomorrow. He could help Wang Yang cover the medical expenses in advance

There is an illness, specifically a disease of the lungs

Yan Pengchao quickly finished a bun and asked Wang Yang a question. Both he and Ma Teng leaned in closer, and Wang Yang glanced at Yan Pengchao's expression, his brow twitching slightly.

Wang Yang whispered something, and when Yan Pengchao extended his left hand, he glanced at Ma Teng. Just now, Wang Yang did not ask Ma Teng to extend his hand, and he spoke so well that good fortune would come next year. Why does it still require him to extend his hand?

Sun He has a slight indentation below his right temple, but it is not deep. His mother's illness is not too serious, at least not life-threatening. If it were a severe illness, Sun He would not have been able to accompany them to the Tibetan region for leisure; he would have returned home long ago to care for his mother. Judging by Sun He's appearance, he is a filial son.

Peng Chao, have you had a check-up for your lungs recently

Stop it, don't flaunt your five days of watching "The Ma Yi Divine Prediction"; I can read faces better than you!

Extend your hand so I can take a look

Boss, what were you just talking about?

Even if you are right, what difference does it make? Perhaps one day you will overhear me answering a call from home!

Right hand! Wang Yang tapped the palm of Yan Pengchao's outstretched left hand with the back of his chopsticks. Yan Pengchao quickly retracted his hand, looking quite aggrieved as he said, "Isn't it 'men on the left, women on the right'? Why make me extend my right hand? I'm not a woman!"

This is not due to a physical ailment; it is purely a psychological effect

What did you say, indeed

"Trust, you must be joking!"

"It's nothing, Wang Yang said he has had an epiphany, but I think he has just become foolish after falling!"

Wang Yang smiled faintly, while there was a slight indentation on the right side of Sun He's forehead, a sign of his mother's poor health. Fortunately, everything was normal on his left side, which represented his father. Wang Yang knew that his father was the pillar of the family, and as long as his father was fine, it would not have a significant impact on their household

After having dinner, Wang Yang's IV fluids were also finished. The four of them chatted for a while and went to bed very late. Today was a day of unexpected events but without danger for them. At first, when Wang Yang fell and lost consciousness, it truly frightened the three of them. Fortunately, Sun He remained relatively calm, instructing one person to carry Wang Yang while the other two took care of the luggage. Then, they fortuitously encountered Boss Sun and his group, ultimately bringing Wang Yang back to safety

Sun He curled his lips in disdain and cast a contemptuous glance at Wang Yang. When Wang Yang was studying "The Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy," he had conducted experiments on them, but not a single prediction was accurate, which led to them being ridiculed for a long time.

Yan Pengchao took a bite of the steamed bun and casually asked, "Among the four of us, Sun He is the oldest, Wang Yang is second, Ma Teng is third, and I, Yan Pengchao, am the youngest." Usually, the other three call each other by their names, but only Yan Pengchao prefers to address them by their ages. For this reason, he once received a beating from Wang Yang. The reason is simple; no one likes to be called 'second.' In the end, Wang Yang used his fists to make Yan Pengchao call him 'Second Brother' to settle the matter.

It must be said that he now truly seems to have had an epiphany. Besides the new knowledge he has acquired, many things he had previously learned and forgotten have now become remarkably clear, as if he had just reviewed them yesterday. Wang Yang even feels that if he were to take the college entrance examination again, it would be absolutely no problem for him to achieve top honors such as the champion, second place, or third place.

According to the search, there is indeed a book titled "Huangji Jingshushu," but it consists of only twelve volumes, not the one hundred and eight volumes that Wang Yang had in mind. Furthermore, it does not completely align with the records of this "Huangji Jingshi" in Wang Yang's mind.

Second brother, take a look at me!

Wang Yang suddenly said something, and Sun He looked at him with even more confusion, unable to help but ask: "What do you want to do? You wouldn't have knocked your head silly with that fall, would you? I tell you, your behavior right now is very abnormal!"

Sun He, has your mother been unwell recently

Wang Yangze smiled without speaking, and he was not deceiving Ma Teng. Ma Teng had a round face and was slightly plump, with a full and bright nose. The nose corresponds to the wealth palace in the twelve palaces of facial features, so it is inevitable that Ma Teng will become wealthy in the future. At the age of twenty-one, one should observe the right auxiliary bone, which is located above the right temple at the brow's corner. Ma Teng's right auxiliary bone is prominent, and his complexion is rosy, but it has not yet fully opened. Once it opens next year, his fortune will naturally flow in abundantly.

It is often said that those who survive great adversity will surely have future blessings. After Wang Yang's fall this time, he indeed seems to have gained some insight, which can be considered a good thing

No, let me take a look at the photo for you, Wang Yang said

Wang Yang suddenly spoke, and Sun He abruptly paused, looking at Wang Yang with a face full of surprise and suspicion. His mother was indeed ill, her heart was not in good condition, and she had previously been hospitalized for a month and underwent a minor surgery. Now she was recuperating at home. He had not told anyone about this matter, and he did not know how Wang Yang had come to know about it.

"Wang Yang, when do you think I will get rich?" Ma Teng asked Wang Yang with great enthusiasm, even leaning his face forward.

"You will check here tomorrow. We are currently on the plateau, and if there is any issue with the lungs, we cannot be careless!" Wang Yang said slowly, while Yan Pengchao nodded quickly. Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, he felt discomfort in his throat again, and even found it somewhat difficult to breathe.

As he approached, Wang Yang noticed that Yan Pengchao's face bore a pallor, a patch of pallor that extended from the bottom upwards. The pallor was faint, but it was already indicative of his poor health, certainly suggesting the presence of an illness

Wang Yang spoke while picking up Yan Pengchao's right hand, his brow furrowing unnaturally for a moment. Other than that, Yan Pengchao was fine, but the area below his right thumb was noticeably red, indicating a problem with the lungs

Sun He pouted and replied, while Ma Teng, who was nearby, also came over upon hearing their conversation. Just then, Yan Pengchao returned with the food, and the four of them squeezed together at the edge of the bed, having dinner and chatting.

Indeed, there is content from "The Ma Yi Divine Perspective"

After searching for a while, Wang Yang raised his head. When he first received these items, he discovered a hint of familiarity within them, and now he finally understands where this familiarity comes from

"Sun He, don't say that. Just now, Wang Yang guessed correctly. You really aren't being considerate. Your aunt is sick, and you didn't even mention it. We could have gone to the hospital to visit her!" Ma Teng interjected from the side. Among the four of them, Sun He's home was in the same city as their school, so they could easily go to the hospital or visit his home.
