Chapter 580 A divination that does not belong to the mortal world
On the snowy mountain road, Taibu sat in a small car, creaking and squeaking, slowly walking forward.
Yue Junshan was pulling the cart in front with an expressionless expression.
Taibu didn't know what his name was, but seeing that he had good endurance and didn't feel tired even after pulling all night, he named him Ah Lu.
Ah Lue couldn't speak, so Taibu sealed his soul in his body and made him a soul puppet.
Taibu walked all the way back from Yu Xianguo, and got drunk whenever he encountered a wine shop.
In fact, he doesn't need to walk back, he only needs a magic circle to return to the capital easily.
But he didn't want to come back so early.
What to do when you come back?
Looking up, the shadow of the capital city is faintly visible in the wind and snow.
Taibu looked at the city wall and felt that the gate on the city wall was grinning at him and laughing at him.
After entering the capital, we walked slowly to the Onmyoji Division.
The yin and yang cultivator guarding the gate was at a loss for a moment when he saw the divination.
Taibu stared at the gatekeeper for a long time, frowning slightly: "Don't you recognize me?"
The gatekeeper quickly invited Taibu into the Onmyoji Division. When he arrived at the courtyard where Taibu lived, the gatekeeper hesitated.
There are lights on in the yard.
Taibu frowned and said, "Who entered my yard?"
The gatekeeper didn't know how to answer, so he hesitated for a long time: "I, I, I'll go in and let you know."
"Transmission?" Taibu looked sullen, "I'm going back to my yard, who do I want to communicate with?"
He walked straight into the courtyard gate, and just as he was about to enter the house, he saw Han Chen coming out from inside.
"Which distinguished guest is this?" Han Chen stared at Taibu and looked at it carefully, "Could it be that Taibu does not belong to the human world!"
"Humph!" Taibu laughed dryly.
Han Chen turned around, pointed to the room and said: "Taibu, come in quickly and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
Taibu stepped into the room, his old room.
The layout of the room has changed and it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
The furnishings have also changed, there is no longer a green lamp, the walls are covered with candlesticks, it is very bright.
There is a large desk in the outer room. On the left side of the desk are dozens of shelves of medical books. On the right side of the desk, silver needles, knives, silk threads and other instruments are neatly stacked.
Next to the equipment, there are several puppets used to test medical skills.
It was obvious that Han Chen had become the master of this courtyard.
And it's not just this courtyard.
Taibu looked at Han Chen and said, "During the days when I'm not here, you are in charge of the Onmyoji Division?"
Han Chen waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Taibu, this is not Han's intention, this is the emperor's will."
"The emperor made you a fortune teller?"
"That's not true. The emperor said that Taibu worked hard all his life and made great achievements. Now that he has escaped from the mortal world and become a star king, his name in the mortal world should still be retained."
The Taibu asked in surprise: "How can you say this? Is it possible that there are two Taibu in one Onmyoji Division?"
Han Chen shook his head and said: "You are still the Yin-Yang Division, but you will no longer take care of the affairs of the Yin-Yang Division."
Taibu asked: "May I ask what your name is?"
Han Chen smiled and said: "I am the great fortune teller of the Yin and Yang Department. I will be in charge of the Yin and Yang Department from now on."
"Big divination..."
Han Chen said: "How about I show you the imperial edict?"
Taibu shook his head numbly: "It doesn't matter. Since it is the emperor's will, I have nothing to say. Is there still a place for me to live in the Yin and Yang Division?"
"Yes! I have left a courtyard for you in the east, no smaller than this one. I also arranged an altar for you in the courtyard. Whenever you feel tired of living in the Star Palace, come to Yin Yang Division to stay for two days.
.”
Taibu laughed dryly: "Okay, very good, then I'll go live there."
"I'll take you there!"
The two of them walked towards the east courtyard together. Several onmyojis passed by and quickly saluted Han Chen and Taibu when they saw them.
Han Chen said: "The Xingjun of our Taoist sect is here, hurry up and prepare some sacrifices!"
The onmyojis didn't know why, so they had to say yes again and again.
Taibu suppressed his anger and looked around: "Why is the Onmyoji Division so deserted?"
Onmyoji is much deserted than before. The small houses that were originally full of people are now empty.
Han Chen said: "Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? I asked them to go home to visit relatives."
Taibu was stunned: "Yin-Yang cultivators don't have to live in the Yin-Yang Division?"
Han Chen smiled and said: "Why do you live in the Yin Yang Division? Many of my colleagues are already old and it's time to start a family. They come to the Yin Yang Division to work as servants during the day. At night, they practice here if they want to practice, and go home if they don't want to practice. What’s wrong with living your life?”
You can come when you want and leave when you want, but what's wrong with asking?
Where do you think Onmyoji is?
Taibu had a sullen face and said nothing. He was no longer in charge here.
Arriving at the east courtyard, Taibu immediately saw the magnificent altar in the middle of the courtyard.
The altar was higher than his house, like a giant, looking down at Taibu, laughing wantonly.
The Taibu turned around and said, "I have a hard time with you. I'm tired from the journey. I'll rest first."
"It's up to you to tell yourself."
Han Chen returned to the main courtyard and ordered the two Onmyoji masters: "Tell everyone on duty in the Onmyoji Division that Taibu, who does not belong to the mortal world, has returned."
An Onmyoji asked: "What about those who are not on duty?"
Han Chen said: "Just tell them tomorrow. For such a big thing, all colleagues must know about it!"
…
Taibu stayed in the Yin and Yang Division for two days. Every day someone brought tea and meals, cleaned the yard, and placed tributes on the altar every day.
Seeing them trying not to laugh, Taibu also felt uncomfortable. On the third night, Taibu decided to go out for a walk.
But where to go?
I can't go to the wine shop, I've had enough wine along the way.
Go to the check list?
Listen to books, listen to music, enjoy dancing, watch plays...
Taibu feels uncomfortable when he looks at anything.
I walked around until late at night and went to Yinggeyuan.
Since Emperor Changle's economic situation improved, Yinggeyuan has resumed its previous business model. If you want to be a confidante tonight, you have to take the exam first.
The venue for the Shushu Pavilion examination had already dispersed, some of the guests stayed overnight, and some went home.
Taibu used a magic circle to arrive at the door of the pavilion master Jinghan. Here, his cold heart could still get some warmth.
He was about to push the door open when he suddenly heard a man's voice coming from inside.
"Jinghan, don't think about that ruthless old man anymore. He left as soon as he said he wanted. How did he ever think about your misery?"
"The Nu family heard that he is back again."
"So what if he comes back? He claimed that he did not belong to the mortal world. He left wildly and returned in a panic. Even the Department of Yin and Yang is no longer in charge of him, but he is no different from a bereaved dog. How can you be buried in that old man because of your infatuation?"
"From now on... I will rely entirely on Elder Shengwei to take care of me."
"Jinghan, let me take a good look. I like your expression best at this moment."
Taibu gritted his silver teeth and quietly left Yinggeyuan.
Jinghan, you heartless woman!
Liang Jixiong, you shameless old thief!
I will remember this grudge!
Taibu was walking alone on the street, passed by a wine shop, entered a private room, ordered two side dishes and a pot of old wine, and sat by the window to drink.
After drinking half the bottle of wine, a man entered the private room and sat opposite Taibu.
Taibu was startled and stared at the other person up and down.
The man was in his fifties, tall and strong, with high cheekbones and a sharp, angular mandible.
The fortune teller didn't recognize this person and asked, "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said: "If you are a wine lover, you will love the old wine from this shop. Come and share a table with me."
Taibu frowned and said: "This wine shop is deserted, there are not many customers, and there are many empty tables. Why do you have to share a table with me?"
The man picked up the wine pot and said, "I like to be lively and don't like to drink alone."
Taibu held down the wine pot and said, "I like peace and quiet, so you can share the table with someone else."
The man refused to leave: "I drank half a bottle of wine and sighed. I must have something on Taibu's mind, right?"
Taibu smiled slightly and did not show the slightest surprise.
Taibu expected that the other party knew him, otherwise he would not have broken into this elegant room.
The man continued: "I know how to resolve Taibu's depression."
Taibu smiled and said: "Do you know how to resolve it?"
"Isn't it just a star palace?"
Taibu frowned upon hearing this.
He knows about the Star Palace.
This is nothing unusual. I left in a hurry and came back in a panic. Coupled with Han Chen's publicity, I'm afraid many people have guessed the reason.
Taibu simply asked: "Tell me, how to resolve this matter?"
"What's so difficult about this? I just found a star palace for Taibu." The man still smiled calmly, as if this was really not a big deal.
"Come for him?" Taibu looked at the man and already regarded him as a liar who was talking nonsense. "Okay, you can come and see me."
The man took out a brocade box five inches long and wide from his arms and placed it in front of Taibu: "Taibu has taken a look at it."
Taibu looked at the man in surprise and reached out to open the brocade box.
The biting Yin Qi rushed towards his face. Taibu used the Yang Qi to create a barrier to isolate the Yin Qi and took a look inside the box.
There is a golden turtle in the box.
Taibu stared at the golden turtle for a moment. The complicated patterns on the turtle's back began to flow slowly, as if a river was flowing on the golden turtle's body.
No, it’s not a river!
It's a snake, a golden snake that's coiled around a golden turtle and is crawling!
Taibu quickly closed the lid of the brocade box and injected the yin and yang energy into his eyes, slowly calming down the stinging pain in his eyeballs.
Taibu looked at the man again and said in a more polite tone: "What is this? I hope you can give me some advice."
The man smiled and said: "Taibu is well-informed, do you need me to explain this matter clearly?"
Taibu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but I really can't tell much from just this glance."
The man said: "If Taibu agrees to help me, I will give this thing to Taibu. If it finally comes true, I will also give the star palace to you."
Taibu thought for a moment and said, "May I ask, senior, what is your surname?"
Taibu refers to each other as senior.
Because he already knew the purpose of this thing and roughly guessed the other party's status.
The man said: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Rishu."
Taibu was startled and his lips twitched.
"It turns out to be Senior Xu. I wonder why Senior is looking for me?"
Xu Rishu said: "I asked Taibu to help me kill someone."
