Chapter 1429 Measure words

Starting from Hankou, along the Yangtze River, it will flow down the Yangtze River to Jiangzhou (Jiujiang), about 500 miles away. If it is a fast boat, it can be reached within one day, while a bulky tower ship will probably take about two days. On the morning of the sixth day of the October 10th, the tower ship will reach about fifty miles upstream of Jiangzhou, and you should be able to reach Jiangzhou Pier before noon.

At this moment, in the third floor cabin of the tower ship, the personal captain Zhao Datou was reporting the movements of the two masters and apprentices of Lan Daoxing to Xu Jin.

"Master, the two Taoist priests didn't move last night. They went back to their room to sleep as soon as it was dark. They were very honest." Zhao Datou said.

Xu Jinqing frowned. In the past two days, he specially sent someone to monitor Lan Daoxing's master and apprentice day and night, but found no abnormalities. The two Taoist priests slept when they fell into the darkness and rarely walked on the boat during the day. They were always in a proper manner, and they seemed to have no bad intentions. And they were about to arrive in Jiangzhou. Could it be that they were too careless? They really just wanted to take a sailboat?

At this moment, a personal guard went up to the third floor and reported in a strange manner: "Master, the Taoist priest is taking a look at the ship's handicraft and servant's fortune telling."

Xu Jin's heart moved and asked casually: "Is it accurate?"

The personal guard's expression became even more strange. He nodded and said, "It seems to be quite accurate. Now everyone is scrambling to ask him to test it. However, the little Taoist priest is very wise. At the beginning, he tested it for free. Later, when he saw that everyone wanted to test it, he yelled to check the cash and even set the price on the ground. Now he needs one or two cents of silver once."

Xu Jin glanced at his personal guard and asked, "Have you tested it too?"

The guard nodded with a dry smile. Zhao Datou couldn't help but widen his eyes, and slapped the guard on the back of the head, cursing: "Zhou Jing, your kid's head was kicked by a donkey? Why did a person who is usually very clever? I was fooled by that bull's nose today? I was so rich that I could not spend enough money, so why would I have a drink."

Zhou Jing said embarrassedly: "Didn't my subordinates see that he has the correct measurement, so I couldn't help but try it and try it out by the way."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel funny. He never believed in fortune-telling, but he just made up his own words and just said it. Whoever eats this industry is good at talking and has a lotus flower? It's a little more powerful, even the birds on the tree can fool you. I guess that Taoist priest is also a master of this, so even his personal guard has touched his way.

Zhao Datou stared at the bull's eyes and said, "Then have you explored his reality?"

Zhou Jing nodded with a magical expression on his face: "I'm exploring it, I'm a Taoist priest with real skills, and everything he says is quite accurate."

Seeing Zhao Datou again, he raised his big hand. Zhou Jing quickly shrank his neck and shouted, "They're doing a very accurate measurement. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself."

Zhao Datou said, "I'm not stupid and have a lot of money... Uh, where are the handsome guys going?"

Xu Jin had already walked to the stairs and said calmly: "Go down and take a look!"

Zhao Datou hurriedly chased after him, and Song Dayan followed him when he saw this.

Xu Jin went down to the cabin on the first floor and saw those boatmen and servants surrounding Lan Daoxing’s master and apprentice in the middle. The little Taoist named Qingfeng was checking the cash while laughing so hard that he could not see the eyes. He probably made a lot of money.

Xu Jin approached quietly and stood behind the crowd watching. He saw Lan Daoxing sitting upright behind a coffee table with a plate placed on the coffee table, which contained a thin layer of mud and dust. If you want to test the words, you can mark a word on the mud and dust and then let Lan Daoxing test it.

At this time, a rough and stupid man in his early thirties was about to test his words. He thought about it, then stretched out a rough finger and struck a crooked "就" character on the mortar of the plate with difficulty, and then grinned embarrassedly.

Lan Daoxing stroked his long beard and said, "What do you want to ask?"

The rough and stupid man grabbed the back of his head and fucked it in a Sichuan voice, "The wife in the family is a girl in three consecutive children. She got pregnant a while ago, so I want to ask whether this baby is a man or a woman."

Lan Daoxing stroked his beard and smiled and said, "The word "li" is separated and means "field" and "earth", which happens to be "male" head and "child" feet, so this child must be a boy, congratulations."

The rough and stupid man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't stop thanking him. The little Taoist priest proudly shook the mud and ashes in the plate and shouted: "Who else wants to test the words? One or two silvers once, no money is allowed."

At this time, a strong man about eighteen or nineteen years old flashed out, shook out a hundred cents from his purse, and said weakly: "I only have so much, can the Taoist priest test it for me?"

The little Taoist priest swept the copper coins into his pocket and said sanctionedly: "Well, the Buddha has a destined person, and the fortune teller is the same. The donor gives all his heart and is sincere. I will make an exception to test a word for you. Come on, write the words you want to test on this plate, and the master will solve your doubts."

The crowd suddenly became a little turbulent, especially the person who had just paid a ounce of silver to test the word. When he saw the guy paying 100 cents, his psychology was naturally unbalanced.

The little Taoist priest remained calm and shouted seriously: "Ying Jing and Jing, the master's character test is borrowed from the magical powers of the Three Pure Dao Ancestors. If anyone disturbs the Taoist priest, he will be retaliated against by evil forces and will not be able to end up well."

As soon as this said, the commotion subsided. The one who shouted the most fiercely just now didn't even dare to be so arrogant. Xu Jin continued to watch coldly to see what other tricks these two masters and apprentices could do.

Let’s talk about the young man who spent 100 cents to enjoy the service of someone else spending a ounce of silver. As if he had taken advantage of it, he quickly reached out and quickly drew the word “其” on the plate. It was written neatly, and I guess I’ve been reading for a few years.

"What do you want to ask?" Lan Daoxing looked at the young man and asked.

The young man blushed and said, "Ask about marriage."

Lan Daoxing nodded: "Although you are a brothel woman, you can eventually become a good person, but it's okay to marry him."

The young man showed joy and then said embarrassedly: "How did the Taoist Master know that my favorite is a brothel woman?"

Lan Daoxing smiled and said nothing. The young man became even more curious when he saw this, so he asked, and the people around him also echoed and urged him.

Lan Daoxing shook his head and smiled, "I don't want to say it, but since the little brother insists, I will say it straightforwardly. If the word "黑" is broken up, wouldn't it be a broken flower and a broken willow? So your favorite must be a brothel girl."

The people around couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the young man's face turned red, obviously he was called by Lan Daoxing.

At this time, Lan Daoxing continued: "Fortunately, the last word of "Zhu" is written in the verse. It can be seen that although this woman has become a fair person, she is not a person with a good character. In the end, she can be good at keeping her qualities and end up together. It is worth marrying you. After getting married, you can treat others well."

The young man stood up and said convincedly: "Thank you for your advice, MAO."

Lan Daoxing waved his hand: "Next."

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and walked forward and said, "I also want to ask Master Lan to take a test, can't you?"

Lan Daoxing seemed not surprised when he saw Xu Jin, and smiled and said, "It's all right, but the young master is a noble man, how can he be confused with ordinary people? It's better to find a quiet room and remove the vulgarity of the sound of a thorn. I will carefully calculate it for the young master."

"That's good!" Xu Jin smiled. He wanted to see what the hell was selling in this strange Taoist priest's gourd.
