Chapter 5: Extraordinary fate, the father, the mother, the court, the neighbor
"The destiny is extraordinary and unparalleled in the world?"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, the coachman danced and shouted excitedly as if Columbus had discovered the New World.
"Everyone, please listen, this guy still dares to say that he is not a liar. Everyone can see that I am just a driver who drives people. Where did I get this extraordinary destiny that is unparalleled in the world?"
As he spoke, he even reached out and tugged at the cassock of the fat monk Fazheng.
"Master Fazheng, now you know this guy is a liar..."
As he spared no effort in making noises, the idle people watching around him also started to make a fuss.
"That's right, you can tell by looking at this guy's clothes that he is a slave from a wealthy family..."
"Isn't it incredible that you have an extraordinary destiny?"
"Little Taoist priest, are you talking nonsense?"
"..."
"This little Tan Yue..."
The fat monk Fazheng also clasped his hands towards Kong Qing with a look of compassion on his face.
"The poor monk can testify that this benefactor is by no means a wealthy person, so it seems that Xiao Tanyue's calculations are a little... inaccurate? According to the poor monk, Xiao Tanyue should go back to practice for a few years, and then come out to deceive... and do fortune telling.
Forget it!”
Hearing that even the fat... master from Zhuangyan Temple said this, the idlers watching the excitement around him started making even louder noises.
"Let's go back……"
"Don't come here to lie..."
"..."
In the commotion, Yang Mudan and the little maid behind her looked at Kong Qing with worried eyes, as if they wanted to stand up and tell him the difference, but they didn't know what to say.
Facing the noisy people around him, Kong Qing still had a confident smile on his face and spoke slowly.
"Everyone, please be patient. What I said is absolutely true. Moreover, if you have an extraordinary destiny, being unparalleled in the world does not necessarily mean you will be rich and powerful. Maybe..."
The corners of Kong Qing's mouth turned up with a strange smile.
"...and the other way around!"
Kong Qing's words immediately confused everyone present.
"What does the reverse mean..."
"The opposite of being rich and powerful means being poor?"
"But looking at the way this guy is dressed, he should be living a pretty good life in this noble man's home..."
"..."
"Everyone!"
Kong Qing coughed, stretched out his hand again and pressed around, speaking in a clear tone.
"Please tell me in detail. First of all, the name of this coachman..."
"You don't need to count my name..." The coachman looked at the smile on Kong Qing's face. He didn't know what he thought of, but he took a step back in fear. "Everyone here knows that my name is Xixiang."
"No, your name is not Xixiang. This name is just the name you changed after entering the Yang Mansion. Your original surname was Wang and your given name was Ergouzi. You were born in Wangjiakan Village, forty miles outside Chang'an City. Xixiang is the name you changed when you entered the Yang Mansion.
I changed my name after moving into the Yang Mansion..."
Kong Qing's eyes swept across the translucent frame beside the coachman and he shouted.
"What I said is right, Wang Ergouzi!"
He didn't expect that the secret he had hidden for decades would be revealed so easily. When he heard this name that only existed in his mind again, Xixiang, the coachman, felt his head buzzing.
He looked at Kong Qing in disbelief and subconsciously retorted.
"My name is Xixiang, I'm not some bastard!"
But his argument was completely meaningless. Everyone present, including Monk Fazheng from Zhuangyan Temple and even the cute Yang Mudan, all found evidence from his face.
That's right, this coachman was originally called Wang Ergouzi!
"This is……"
"That's right, this little Taoist priest must be right..."
"Look at Wang Ergouzi's face, he confessed..."
"..."
"After naming your name, the next step is your age..."
Kong Qing's face was calm, and he didn't care at all about Wang Ergouzi's weak retort. Instead, he raised one hand as if doing calculations and continued to read the other person's resume.
"One, two, three, four... forty plus one, well, your age is forty-one!"
This time Wang Ergouzi didn't need to speak. Yang Mudan and the little maid Cuiqiao who knew his age immediately covered their mouths in surprise. Although Monk Fazheng from Zhuangyan Temple standing next to them did not act like the two of them,
He was surprised, but there was also a look of surprise on his face.
"That's right,"
The little maid couldn't wait to jump out and testify for Kong Qing.
"What this little Taoist priest said is absolutely correct. Wang Er... Xixiang will be forty-one years old this year!"
Wow!
The people present who were watching the melon meal suddenly let out a burst of exclamation.
"I actually got it right again..."
"This little Taoist priest has a lot of trouble..."
"..."
"Things like name, age, etc. are just trivial matters. Anyone can calculate them. Next, I will tell you your fate..."
Faced with the praise of these melon-eating people, Kong Qing still looked unfazed, pinching his fingers a little, showing a noble demeanor.
"Wang Ergouzi, you got seriously ill less than a month after you were born, and then miraculously recovered without medication. However, on the day you recovered, your mother suddenly died of illness...
Then when you were half a year old, you fell out of bed, but you were fine. On the same day, your father unfortunately fell and died while cutting firewood in the mountains..."
Kong Qing raised his head and smiled gently at the coachman.
"Is there any truth in what Pindao said?"
Although the coachman did not speak, his trembling body and the expression on his face had already told everyone that this handsome little Taoist was right again!
"Do you know why your parents died?"
Kong Qing looked at the coachman with a gentle smile, but his eyes were cold.
"Because your destiny is to absorb the luck of others, the luck of all the people related to you will be sucked away by you, and you will encounter all kinds of misfortunes. But if you suck the luck of others, you will encounter misfortunes instead.
Turn evil into good luck, and turn misfortune into good luck!
Tell yourself, with your unique destiny, can’t you still call it “unparalleled in the world?”
Wow!
As soon as Kong Qing's last words came out, as if the effect was immediate, the idle people standing around who were watching the excitement immediately took a step back.
"Oh, wait a minute... I just remembered that the day you were born was AD 6... the Northern Zhou Dynasty... the first year of Dading in the pseudo-Zhou Dynasty, which was also the first year of the founding of the pseudo-Sui Dynasty. It's unbelievable..."
Kong Qing raised his head and looked at the coachman opposite with a look of horror on his face with a condescending expression.
"On the day you were born, Wang Ergouzi, the Puppet Zhou Dynasty perished..."
In other words, the day you, Wang Ergouzi, were born, the power of the pseudo-Zhou Dynasty collapsed. It is really unbelievable to me. Could it be that the reincarnation of a degenerate god would cause such a big movement?
Not only did he defeat his father and his mother, but he also directly destroyed the aura of the pseudo-King of Zhou. Although this is the first time Pindao has encountered someone who has lost his god and entered his destiny, the words "unparalleled in the world" seem to be a bit underestimated..."
Before Kong Qing could finish his words, the spectators around him took a step back, and the same empty circle appeared around Kong Qing and Wang Ergouzi.
"You...you are talking nonsense. My surname is not Wang, nor am I from the Wang family."
Seeing the frightened eyes of the people around him, Coachman Wang Ergou... Xixiang's face turned red and his whole body was shaking, as if he would rush up to fight Kong Qing in the next moment.
But then he saw Kong Qing's handsome and calm face and his hand stroking the sword hilt...
He couldn't help but touch his red and swollen face with his hand, his body trembled, he took a step back, and shouted inwardly.
"I have not conquered my father, my mother, and the imperial court. This is all your nonsense! Yes, Master Fazheng is still here. His Dharma is profound. You cannot hide these nonsense from him. Master Fazheng, you must give me some advice."
I'm the ruler……"
With that said, Coachman Wang Ergou... Xixiang turned around and looked at Monk Weina Fazheng of Zhuangyan Temple who was standing aside with sadness and anger.
After Wang Ergou turned around, he happened to see Monk Fazheng moving quietly, trying to get further away from him.
"Master Fazheng, what are you..."
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
Looking at Wang Er's doggy eyes, the fat monk Fazheng clasped his hands together without blushing and recited the Buddha's name.
"Please also ask Wang Ergou... Donor Xixiang, please rest assured that the poor monk has always acted impartially and selflessly, so if this little Tan Yue is really talking nonsense, the poor monk will definitely give you justice."
After Monk Fazheng finished speaking, the idle people around him also started making noises.
"That's right, if the Taoist priest talks nonsense, we will definitely not listen to him!"
"But what this handsome little Taoist priest seems to say is reasonable..."
"Yes, let the little Taoist priest continue..."
"..."
"Since you don't believe it, I will continue to argue with you..."
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand, turned his body slightly to the side, and made a floating pose, and moved his fingers nimbly.
"Both of your parents died when you were young, and you were impoverished. You relied on the support of the whole village of Wangjiakan to survive. However, when you reached adulthood at the age of eighteen, Wangjiakan Village suffered from banditry at the same time, and almost all the people who had helped you were killed.
, and you got a fortune..."
At this point, Kong Qing's eyes had turned cold.
"Wang Ergouzi, please answer me honestly. Is this the case?"
"ah!"
I don't know why, but after hearing Kong Qing's words, Wang Ergouzi's body suddenly trembled.
"You, how did you know..."
"Wang Ergouzi, you have to know that the so-called people are doing it, and the sky is watching, and the sky network is vast, and there is no omission..."
Kong Qing calmly raised his head and looked away from Wang Ergou.
"All your neighbors are dead, but you, Wang Ergouzi, are not only fine, but you also got a fortune, not bad, not bad! After your father, your mother, and the imperial court, you have even killed your neighbors and passers-by!
"
Wow!
After hearing these words, the "high sages" who were gathered around to watch the excitement all took a step back outside again. Even the body of the eminent monk Fazheng trembled.
As for Yang Mudan and the little maid who were still sitting in front of the Gua stall, they moved behind Kong Qing like they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Overcome the father, overcame the mother, overcame the imperial court, overcame neighbors and passers-by...
