Chapter 865: Yuan Tiangang, the watcher of the wind, starts to act
The old county of Yuzhang, the new mansion of Hongdu, the stars are divided into wings and the ground is connected to Henglu...
In Hongzhou City on Jiangnan West Road, because Teng Wang Li Yuanying has not yet come to Hongzhou to be the governor, the eternally famous Tengwang Pavilion has not yet begun to be built. The most famous building in the city now is that of Xu Xunzhenjun, also known as Xu Jingyangtian
The Jingyang Ancient Temple where the Master once lived before transcending the world of mortals.
In the morning, an old Taoist priest with a beard and a faded robe was sitting in front of the Jingyang Ancient Temple. Behind him was something like a flag with four big characters written on it.
, give pointers.
"Old Immortal..."
A man dressed simply and with a gray face looked at the Taoist priest and said with an uneasy look on his face.
"Are you kidding? What I lost is a cow, a cow that can plow fields. It is so big, how can it be in a magpie's nest in the tree?"
"This is a secret, please don't reveal it!"
The Taoist priest wearing a faded robe waved his hand with an incomprehensible expression and said to the man.
"Anyway... you should immediately go and look for the magpie's nest on the top of the big locust tree behind the third gate of Anguo Temple. You will definitely find your lost cow. But remember, you must climb the tree to find the magpie's nest."
Search the nest carefully, don't just take a look under the tree."
"..."
Although the man had a look of disbelief on his face, looking at the other person's confident expression, he still stood up from the front of the stall and walked towards Anguo Temple with doubts.
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, the onlookers immediately started whispering among themselves.
"Old Taoist priest, are you kidding? Who's cow would be thrown into a tree..."
"Yes, this is obviously a lie!"
"You guys wait here, and I'll go take a look. If I don't find the cow in the magpie's nest, I'll come back and smash this old Taoist's stall in a while!"
"..."
Listening to the whispers of these people, the old Taoist priest did not show any panic at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and twirled his beard with his hands, looking leisurely and contented.
"Oh my God!"
After a quarter of an hour, they heard a burst of messy footsteps coming from the side, and then people present saw that the man who had gone to follow the cow to see how it was thrown into the tree had run back with a look of surprise on his face.
"This old immortal is really amazing. After Chen Xiaoer, who lost his cow, climbed to the top of the big locust tree behind the third gate of Anguo Temple, he saw his cow at a glance... It turned out that the guy who stole the cow lived there.
Zhu Shi's cow is tied to the courtyard wall of Zhu Shi's home next to the big locust tree, just under the magpie's nest."
"..."
After hearing what this man said, the onlookers present were immediately stunned.
"No, is this immortal so awesome?"
"Someone said how the cow was thrown into the magpie's nest on the treetop. It turned out to be under the magpie's nest..."
"..."
At this time, the smart man sat down opposite the old Taoist priest and said excitedly.
"Old Immortal, I also want to do a fortune telling!"
"For fortune telling, don't be in a hurry!"
After hearing what this clever guy said, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes, still smiled with an incomprehensible face, and then reached out and turned over what looked like a flag behind his back.
"There are conditions for finding fortune-telling by an experienced fortune teller..."
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, everyone present immediately focused their attention on the flag banner behind him, and saw a line of large characters written on it like a dragon and a snake.
Then, I saw someone in the crowd who was wearing a robe and seemed to be a scholar reading out.
"Those who wish to seek divination should tell you a strange thing first!"
"Strange things..."
After hearing this condition, the clever guy who wanted to tell fortunes sitting opposite the old Taoist priest was immediately confused.
"Old Immortal, what is this strange thing you are talking about?"
"Just some mysterious things!"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile.
"For example, things like foxes and ghosts, things about gods and ghosts, or miracles in that temple or Taoist temple. In short, it can be anything that is difficult to understand. It is best if it is something new in the past few years.
Not old news.”
"..."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he saw the clever guy replying with a blank look on his face.
"Old Immortal, what if someone doesn't know about this strange thing?"
"Then I'm sorry!"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard with his hand and shook his head casually.
"One thing for another, no credit..."
"that……"
Just when this smart guy was about to say something, a big man in a smart suit appeared behind him, grabbed his shoulders, and lifted him off the fortune-telling stall.
"The old immortal has made it very clear about this and that. One thing is another. If you don't know about this kind of thing, then don't waste everyone's time here!"
As he said that, the big man sat down on the stall opposite the old Taoist priest.
"Old Immortal, I know something that happened in the village next to us some time ago. Do you think it is applicable?"
"good!"
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation to the big man with his hand.
"You might as well speak up!"
"Is such that……"
The big man thought for a moment and then spoke.
"There is a family named Geng in the village next to us. During the war, he earned a fortune from joining the army. He is one of the few rich people in the villages. His parents died some time ago, and he spent a lot of money.
He spent a lot of money to make his parents' funeral very luxurious, and the things buried with him were also very valuable. Guess what happened?"
After hearing what this big man said, everyone present immediately started talking.
"Could it be that his parents' graves were stolen by that damned guy?"
"It's not a mysterious thing to steal, right? Could it be that his parents' spirits appeared after they died?"
"..."
Regarding this big man's question, the old Taoist priest silently reached out and calculated for a while, then touched his beard with his hand and answered confidently.
"Although I don't know what happened specifically, this incident is considered serious. This person must be dead!"
"oops!"
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, the big man immediately showed an expression of admiration.
"The old immortal is really clever... That's right! Not long after that man buried his parents generously, he dreamed of his long-dead brother. The other party said that because of his virtue in burying his parents generously, his younger brother had been appointed by the gods.
For the Hongzhou Yima, I have to travel back and forth every day, which is really difficult. His brother also said that he had recommended to the gods to let his brother take this position..."
Having said this, the big man sighed.
"Then not long after, that person died!"
"Um!"
The old Taoist priest silently took out a small notebook, and after carefully asking the big man some details, he wrote down exactly what he said, and finally pointed to the Jingyang Ancient Temple behind him.
"The old Taoist once heard that the Taoist priests here are highly cultivated. Why didn't that person come here for help at that time?"
"Why didn't you come..."
The big man seemed to understand the ins and outs of this matter very carefully, and he immediately explained after hearing this.
"Not only did he come, he also donated some incense money and asked for an amulet, but it had no effect at all. He still died!"
"oh!"
The old Taoist priest silently recorded this incident, and then said to the big man.
"The thing you mentioned is indeed mysterious, okay! Then the old Taoist will give you a fortune telling as promised... But I don't know what I want to ask for?"
"..."
Next, the old Taoist priest sat behind the hexagram stall and listened to mysterious things told by one person after another.
certainly!
For these ordinary people who may have never left Hongzhou in their lives, most of the things they can tell are things that happened around them...or things they heard with their own ears. Some things are even completely impossible to talk about.
The word "Shangxuanqi" is just related to ghosts and gods, and the old Taoist priest also recorded some of the stories after careful calculation.
After counting for a whole day, it was not until about four o'clock in the afternoon that the old Taoist priest stood up and said to the remaining crowd.
"It's getting late now, and it's time for the old Taoist to close his stall. If you want to find the old Taoist's advice, you might as well come early tomorrow!"
After hearing his words, those present dispersed with regretful expressions on their faces. The old Taoist priest also packed up his hexagram stall and turned back to the Jingyang Ancient Temple behind him.
As soon as the old Taoist priest entered the door, he saw that the Taoist priest who knew his guests had greeted him with a smile.
"Master Yuan, you have been sitting here for a whole day... thank you for your hard work!"
"No problem!"
The old Taoist priest waved his hand slightly to indicate that he was fine.
"This is the practice of my Zhanxuan sect, it is not considered hard work!"
Then, the old Taoist priest seemed to have no intention of speaking to this Taoist priest who knew his guests.
"By the way! I heard a strange thing in the market today. It was said that Geng Zhentian, a wealthy man from Zaitian Village, once came to our Jingyang Temple to ask for an amulet, but he died inexplicably..."
Having said this, the old Taoist priest suddenly showed a curious look on his face.
"That's right! Speaking of which, the headmaster of our Jingyang Temple can be considered a direct disciple of the Xishan Sect, and the two Zhenjun Dadong and Xu Zhenjun are not small figures even among the earthly immortals. Could it be that there are others in this realm of Hongzhou?
Do the gods dare to offend them?"
"Hey! This matter has nothing to do with gods. It was all caused by the bald guys from Anguo Temple..."
After hearing what the old Taoist said, Zhike Taoist immediately gave a standard answer.
"When Geng Zhentian buried his parents in a lavish way, he showed his wealth, so the bald guys at Anguo Temple planned to beat him. But they didn't expect that Geng Zhentian was willing to spend money when he buried his parents in a lavish way, and he was a bit fussy about offering incense to the temple.
, so the bald guys from Anguo Temple got angry and used his brother as a cover to trap him to death and then used the land and water dojo to loot his house.
As for the Master...he will never fall out with those bald men in Anguo Temple just because of such a trivial matter! After all, no matter how strong our Patriarch Wu and Patriarch Xu are, the Fahua Sect is not weak either!"
"oh!"
After hearing what Taoist Zhike said, the old Taoist nodded slightly.
"I understand..."
That night, a flying talisman shot out directly from the Jingyang Ancient Temple and flew towards Chang'an in the north.
