Chapter 2 The constellations descend to earth
The old Taoist looked to be at least seventy years old. He was energetic and strutting. He didn't have the stumbling or sluggishness of an old man at all. Among the crowd, he looked particularly immortal and had the appearance of a great master.
The Taoist priest in his thirties next to him was also full of Taoism and followed the old Taoist step by step.
Xiao Wu looked excited, grabbing He Liusi's arm and shaking it: "It's coming, it's coming!" Then as if he thought of something, he hurriedly lowered his head and rummaged in his pocket.
Seeing his anxious look, He Liusi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Wu stamped his feet in annoyance: "If I had known that I would meet an expert today, I would have brought more money!" He looked back at the fishing boat, said, "I'm going to find Lao Cai." and ran away.
He Liusi was stunned and immediately understood that Xiao Wu was going to Lao Cai to ask for money.
Faced with such a close friend, although He Liusi did not believe in horary and astrology from the bottom of his heart, after all, nine out of ten fortune tellers in the upper reaches of the world were liars.
But looking at Lao Dao who was getting closer and closer, He Liusi felt a little dazed.
The Taoist in front of him has an immortal spirit and elegant figure, and he can actually make foreigners respect him. It is difficult for He Liusi to regard him as a liar. Have you ever seen that liar with such style?
Soon, Lao Dao had come closer. He Liusi hesitated to speak, and was in a dilemma.
At this time, Xiao Wu ran back, accompanied by Lao Cai who had been selling fish and shrimp.
"Old Immortal!" Xiao Wu did not hesitate and jumped in front of the old Taoist with a loud shout, which scared the old man behind him.
The young Taoist priest even drew out the iron sword from his back, placed it in front of the old Taoist, and glared at Xiao Wu sternly.
Faced with Xiao Wu's sudden shouting, the old Taoist did not show any panic or dissatisfaction, but said with a smile: "If you don't want to be rude, why do you stop me?"
Xiao Wu Xindao is really capable! Look at this, he speaks with an accent. Immediately Xiao Wu said seriously: "Old god! I have something to ask for!"
The old Taoist smiled and waved his hand: "A loose man in the mountains is worthy of the call of a god! I am a poor Taoist, Yuanyangzi, this is my disciple's son and grandson. I don't know what my little friend wants?"
"Taoist Priest! I would like to ask you to tell my friend's fortune." He said, pulling He Liusi over.
He Liusi was extremely embarrassed, but he was too embarrassed to let down Xiao Wu, so he had to bow to Yuan Yangzi, lowered his voice and asked Xiao Wu: "What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Wu also lowered his voice and replied: "When you will get rich, whether you can marry Dan Niang, whatever you want is up to you!"
The two of them were talking to each other, and when they looked up, they saw Yuan Yangzi looking at He Liusi with a gentle expression.
He Liusi and Xiao Wu saluted hurriedly, smiling awkwardly.
But Yuan Yangzi didn't care, he just looked at He Liusi intently.
Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from Yuan Yangzi's eyes, and He Liusi felt his whole body shaken and broke into a cold sweat.
Looking at Yuan Yangzi again, he was looking at him up and down with a smile on his face. He Liusi felt that Yuan Yangzi's eyes seemed to be breathtaking. He couldn't move for a while and could only say,
He made a whining sound.
This feeling felt very familiar to He Liusi, as if it was the same as when a ghost presses on the bed!
But unlike the ghost on the bed, this kind of pain disappeared in an instant as Yuan Yangzi's eyes moved away. The moment it disappeared, He Liusi took a sharp breath, sweating profusely on his head as he violently
His breath dripped down and wet his clothes.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu looked at He Liusi's back soaked in cold sweat and asked in confusion.
"No, it's okay!" He Liusi wiped his sweat and secretly glanced at Yuan Yangzi.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly and secretly poked Lao Cai at his side.
Lao Cai was stabbed by Xiao Wu and quickly came to his senses. He carefully took out the money from his arms, carefully took out some, then presented it with both hands and said, "Well done, Taoist Master!"
Sun Ji said directly to Lao Cai: "My master is hiding among forests, springs, mountains and rivers, far away from the disturbance of the world and the stench of copper. You don't have to do this! If there is a disaster, my master will save you!"
After hearing what Sun Jizhi said, Xiao Wu and Lao Cai looked at each other, neither of them understood what he said.
Sun Ji sighed and was about to explain, but was patted on the shoulder by his master.
I saw that Yuan Yangzi's eyes had turned to Lao Cai, and his brows furrowed slightly.
But just for a moment, Yuan Yangzi regained his smile, pointed at He Liusi and asked Xiao Wu: "My little friend, do you want to do divination for him?"
"yes!"
"Okay, little friend, please step aside for now. Pindao will make a divination for him."
Xiao Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and happily stepped aside with Lao Cai.
At this time, He Liusi had already figured it out. Regardless of whether Yuan Yangzi was a liar or not, at least he didn't want money and it was no big deal to tell fortunes.
So He Liusi raised his hand: "Taoist Master, my name is He Liusi! I, my marriage proposal was blocked a few days ago, and I don't know my fate..."
Facing He Liusi who hesitated to speak, Yuan Yangzi just smiled slightly: "The appearance of my little friend is the most precious thing in this world! With the help of auspicious stars in life, I just need to have great ambitions and be clean and tidy! As for marriage, there will be a destined person in the future.
!”
"What the Taoist priest means is that I can't get married for the time being?" He Liusi asked cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Yangzi changed his smile and said seriously: "I just need to remind your brother that starting from tomorrow, you must not argue with your wife, and you are not allowed to go to sea for fishing. It is best to stay at home temporarily and thank guests behind closed doors."
He Liusi was stunned: "The Taoist Master is saying, Lao Cai?"
Yuan Yangzi nodded: "Remember! He must sit at home within seven days, otherwise his life will be in danger!"
Looking at the serious-looking Yuan Yangzi, He Liusi asked doubtfully: "But why didn't the Taoist priest just tell Lao Cai directly?"
Yuanyangzi smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "This is a secret from heaven, it is useless to reveal it."
"Then tell me! Is it a secret?"
"Hahaha, telling others is a leak. Telling it to you is okay!"
He Liusi was completely confused and looked at Yuan Yangzi with confusion.
Yuan Yangzi ignored He Liusi's doubts, but took out a pen and paper from his back pocket and said while writing: "You have to keep these things well. If there is no harm after seven days, just burn them.
If something unexpected happens, open it again."
After finishing writing, Yuan Yangzi stuffed the note into a brocade bag, and stuffed a yellow talisman and three copper coins into it. Without waiting for He Liusi to ask questions, he directly put the brocade bag into He Liusi's arms.
He said seriously: "You and I will meet again in the future. Remember Pindao's words and keep yourself clean!"
After saying that, he turned around and left with Sun Jizhi.
He Liusi kept looking at Yuan Yangzi's master and apprentice who were walking away. Xiao Wu and Lao Cai came over and asked curiously: "What did the old Taoist say?"
He Liusi looked blankly at the bag of tips in his hand and said nothing.
Yuan Yangzi, who had not gone far, also asked aloud: "Since you are straight, what do you think?"
Seeing the master's question, Sun Jizhi said respectfully: "My disciple thought that the man's hall was as black as coal, and he was afraid that gods and immortals would not be able to save him."
But Yuan Yangzi shook his head: "The person I asked about was not the old man, but that boy."
"Master, my disciple's cultivation is still shallow. I can only see the fire on his shoulders and the top of his head, like a purple flame golden beast, which makes me unable to look directly! In my humble opinion, this extraordinary appearance must be the emperor's order!"
Yuanyangzi said with a smile: "You only see the surface, but don't explore the depth. This is not the way this son looks! You think he has the appearance of an emperor because he descends from the stars!"
"The stars descended to earth?" Sun Jizhi couldn't help being surprised and said hurriedly: "That's the case, why doesn't master accept him as his disciple?"
"No!" Yuanyangzi shook his head, "Master, I know what you mean. Although I have been looking for a closed disciple, if this child can enter my Taoist sect, it will indeed be a blessing to the Taoist sect and the common people! But this star is coming to earth.
It’s God’s will, how can we go against it?”
"But if he unfortunately becomes a demon, wouldn't there be millions of corpses in the world?" Sun Ji was worried.
Yuanyangzi let out a long sigh: "I just hope that he will be a good man in the future and benefit the common people in the future!"
After speaking, the two of them stopped talking and disappeared into the crowd.
When He Liusi and others returned to the island, it was already late at night, and He Liusi was lying on the bed thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Wu came over with half a piece of pancake in his mouth.
"Think about what the old man said today."
"I would have forgotten it even if you didn't tell me! What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything."
"Then what did he say?"
He Liusi wanted to tell Xiao Wu what Yuan Yangzi had told him, but when the words came to his lips, he held back and only said: "He wants me to keep myself clean."
"What a mess!" Xiao Wu frowned, but didn't take it seriously and returned to his bed.
But He Liusi was still thinking about Yuan Yangzi's words. He felt that this old Taoist was different from the charlatans he had seen before.
Not to mention that Yuan Yangzi doesn't want money, just telling himself to remind Lao Cai is enough to prove that this person is definitely not a liar.
The reason is simple. If Yuan Yangzi wants to defraud money, he can just scare Lao Cai directly.
Although Yuan Yangzi said that heaven's secrets should not be leaked, he also said that he was blessed by a lucky star. Presumably, only a person blessed by a lucky star like himself could reveal this secret.
Besides, one look from Yuan Yangzi made me break out in cold sweat today, but this is definitely not what a liar can do.
In the past 20 years, Danhe has disbelieved the words of gods and ghosts the most.
If I listen to Yuan Yangzi and go to Lao Cai, if Lao Cai doesn't believe him and nothing happens after a few days, then won't I lose all my face?
But then I thought about it, even if it was an alarmist statement, it wouldn't be a big deal for Lao Cai to rest at home for a few days. If he really died, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life. After all, Lao Cai and he had a very close relationship.
He Liusi fiddled with the tips bag in his hand and was in a dilemma for half the night before finally deciding to discuss it with Xiao Wu.
It was already late at night, and He Liusi quietly woke up Xiao Wu and called him outside the house.
Under the moonlight, after listening to what He Liusi said, Xiao Wu's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"What do you think?" He Liusi asked.
"I think so!" Xiao Wu swallowed, "You'd better talk to Brother Cai about this!"
"Do you believe what the old man said?"
"I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn't exist. What if it comes true?"
He Liusi sighed: "Okay! I'll talk to him tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned to go back to the house.
"No!" Xiao Wu grabbed He Liusi and said, "Say it now!"
He Liusi looked unconcerned: "How long will this take? Tomorrow."
After saying that, he dragged Xiao Wu back to the dormitory.
At this time, there were very few people on Suhai Pier. A few black figures suddenly flashed out of the darkness. Under the moonlight, they looked like a few people dressed as monks.
These people jumped a few times and came to the edge of the pier, where they knelt down in front of a young man standing on the shore.
"Leader!"
The young man turned around and saw that he looked like a white-faced scholar, with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, extremely handsome.
The man said softly: "In accordance with His Majesty's imperial edict, I am hereby ordering everyone to rush to Guangyan Mansion and act according to the plan!"
"Yes!" The monks responded in a deep voice, and then their bodies flashed and disappeared into the night again.
Chapter completed!
