Gu Mu rode his horse and galloped wildly, and in the evening, he had arrived in Anyang, and he was tired and hungry at this time. He tied his horses and lifted his feet up to the free building.

Xiaoyao Lou is the largest restaurant in Anyang, which is not only elegant and clean, but also can taste all the famous dishes in northern Henan. So business is booming. The guys are too busy to greet guests.

Gu Mu went up to the second floor, and it happened that someone was seated, Gu Mu hurriedly stepped forward to occupy a seat, and then beckoned the guy to order.

Because he was alone, the dishes he asked for were also very simple, a jar of old wine, garlic cucumbers, fried peanuts, and the only meat dish was only roast chicken.

The guy said with a smile on his face: "The guest officer is really lucky, there is only one roast chicken left in Daokou, this is the signature dish in our store, it is in short supply every day, you always wait, the dishes are ready-made, it will be good in a while." ”

Gu Mu looked left and right in boredom, and suddenly felt the stinging pain of his vest like a pinprick, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a very sloppy old farmer, eating noodles, and glancing at him with a vicious gaze.

Gu Mu panicked in his heart, and said secretly: "Have you met the enemy?" he took a breath of true anger and secretly guarded himself.

There was a lot of noise at the table, it was a big table, and a few people who looked like wealthy businessmen were toasting a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest is not outstanding, but he is unusually arrogant, he sits on the main seat with a grin, enjoying the compliments from everyone.

A fat rich man shook his fat all over his body, and said in a low voice: "Immortal Wu, the little old man has something to ask for,"

The man laughed and said, "Don't you just want a grandson?" Throw away the stone lion on the bedside table in your son's bedroom, and I'll make you a full moon wine for your grandson next year." ”

The fat rich man picked up a blanket from his feet, respectfully raised it and offered it to the Taoist priest, and muttered in his mouth: "These three hundred taels of silver are a thank you gift to Wu Xianchang, if I can really report to my grandson next year." And thank you. ”

Wu Xianchang sneered: "Put down the silver, how can I handle such a heavy item? You can send someone to send it directly to the Taoist temple tomorrow." ”

The fat rich man was submissive and nodded again and again.

A face-to-face Xiucai wanted to stand up several times, but was pressed by the person next to him,

He couldn't help it, and while the neighbor was unprepared, he suddenly got up and arched his hand: "There are many legends about the immortal chief's divine skills, but because they are too godly, I have never believed in them." Since we met today, don't just talk empty words, or show your hand, let me and other foolish people also open their eyes. ”

The person next to him hurriedly shouted: "Chen Xiucai, how can you be so rude to the Immortal Chief? I knew that you were so reckless, so I wouldn't have brought you here." ”

Wu Xianchang smiled and said: "It's okay, if you don't bring him here, when will he be able to believe it?" Chen Xiu is a well-known talent in our Anyang, only a high school and a rich man, no books, no reading, nothing is unknown, if I don't use real means to convince him, even if I am famous all over the world, I am just a successful liar." Chen Xiucai, did you think so just now?"

Chen Xiucai's face turned red, and he said in a dumb voice: "Yes, I do think so, although you guessed my thoughts, I still don't believe you, because some people in the rivers and lakes have rich experience and can guess other people's thinking, which is not a strange thing." ”

Wu Xianchang said with a smile: "Well said, you are a disciple of Confucianism, and you don't recognize anyone except Confucius in your eyes."

In fact, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have always coexisted before the pre-Qin Dynasty, but it was only in the Han Dynasty that Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, and you Confucian students were able to get ahead."

But the knowledge between heaven and earth is so vast that it can be summed up in one academic way at all. Confucianism can govern the country, medicine can cure diseases, Taoism can avoid evil, and Buddhism can purify the heart. Can you do so many things with just one Confucianism?"

"Of course, you can't be convinced by my empty talk. Let me ask you, you are proficient in poetry and songs, and you are also very good at Baguwen, but why can you never break through when you are only famous?"

Chen Xiucai shook his head in discouragement and said: "I don't know why, I have no obstacle in the examination of children's students, and I will not be able to take the exam, as soon as I enter the examination room, I will be groggy, and I will be more energetic when I leave the examination room." ”

Wu Xianchang laughed wildly and said: "Since ancient times, articles have hated life, and there are many talented people who ask questions but bury the people. Tang Bohu of the former Ming Dynasty learned from the past and the present, but his fame only achieved Xie Yuan. Why? Just because you talented people have read a few books of the Four Books and the Five Classics, you feel that you have understood all things in heaven and earth. So he went around and didn't take the world in his eyes. If you are so arrogant, how can the ghosts and gods tolerate you?"

Chen Xiucai was stunned and said, "Could it be that I also provoked ghosts and gods?"

Wu Xianchang said categorically: "Yes, is there a lot of damp insects in your kitchen?

Chen Xiucai nodded and said, "Not bad." Indeed it is. I'm sick to death, but there's no way around it. ”

Wu Xianchang combed the bun on the top of his head with his hand, and said with a smile: "Not only that, your father is free of disasters and diseases, but when he was smoking, he suddenly had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and when you slept at night, you could always hear a knock on the door, but after opening the door, there was no one." When I slept in bed, I heard someone coughing under the bed. Leaned down but couldn't find anyone. This over and over again makes you tired and frightened. ”

"You came to me precisely because you had so many incomplied things, but you couldn't let go of Xiucai's face, so you questioned me and made it difficult. As mentioned above, has there ever been a wrong sentence in the poor road?

Chen Xiucai's face changed drastically, he stood up and saluted respectfully: "What the fairy chief said is not wrong at all, may I ask the fairy chief, what is going on? The old mother has been scared out of illness, and I have no choice but to send it to my sister's house to recuperate. ”

Wu Xian thought quietly for a while, and then said angrily: "Well, why is there no mercy in life? Since you have repented, the poor Dao will use a little trick to save you from fire and water." ”

"When you go home, you can clean the door with clean water, and after you get rid of the bad luck, there will be no ghosts knocking on the door, and then go to the pharmacy and buy some realgar and sprinkle it in the kitchen. The ghost worms will gradually disappear. Your bedroom should also be cleaned carefully, especially under the bed, and no matter what you want, don't open it, but throw it in a waterhole a hundred feet away from your home, so that the evil spirit will go and the house will be at peace. If you can hold four inkstones on the legs of your bed, hang five brushes at the head of the bed. I guarantee you that you will be proud of your scientific examination next year, and you will have good news. ”

At this point, Chen Xiucai was completely convinced, he knelt on the ground and exchanged tears, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you Immortal Chief, if you can really win next year." I will be rewarded. It's just that my father's mouth is crooked and his eyes are slanted, and he doesn't know if the fairy chief has a recipe?"

Wu Xianchang said with a smile: "It's just evil, and smearing the crooked face with crucian carp blood can be solved in an instant." ”

The surrounding drinkers were dumbfounded,

A melon skin hat screamed, "Such a divine skill is unheard of, Immortal Chief, I will give you a cup." "Hey, the dishes are cold, man, give the Taoist chief another Daokou roast chicken, and put it on my account." ”

The guy was serving Gumu cloth vegetables, and when he heard the shouting, he hurriedly ran over and said apologetically: "I'm sorry guest officer, the roast chicken is sold out." ”

The melon skin hat was furious, he pointed at Gu Mu and said: "Nonsense, I just saw you put one on this kid, why did you sell it out when you came to me, isn't Lao Tzu's money money?"

The guy was embarrassed and said, "It's really sold out, and the one just now is the last one." ”

The melon skin hat was still entangled, Wu Xian got up and said, "If you don't have it, forget it, you can change it to a different dish." "The melon skin hat didn't give up, and he had to get a roast chicken for Wu Xianchang.

Wu Xianchang was helpless, so he had to stand up and say: "I have received this brother's kindness, but since the man said that there is no roast chicken to sell, it is useless for you to kill him." In order to have a happy ending to this matter, come and see, don't I have roast chicken here?"

Everyone looked closely, only to see Wu Xianchang holding an empty plate in his hand and spinning it gently, and a fragrant roast chicken suddenly appeared on the plate, the size and shape were exactly the same as those on the ancient wooden table.

Everyone looked back at the plate of the ancient wood, and the roast chicken was still there, but the color was a little wrong.

Gu Mu was also a little puzzled, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and flicked it, and the roast chicken on the plate suddenly scattered, and the roast chicken turned out to be carved from radish.

Everyone burst into laughter, and they all raised their thumbs to praise the Taoist's subtle spells.

Wu Xianchang gnawed on the chicken leg and said modestly: "The carving insect skill is purely a carving insect skill."

Gu Mu stood up violently, and Wu Xianchang, who was triumphant with his fingers, scolded: "Demon Dao, you show off your spells, bewitch the good people, and cheat people for money." Lao Tzu didn't intervene, but why did he exchange radishes for my roast chicken?"

Wu Xianchang stood up, he stared at Gu Mu for a long time, and then said slowly: "Young man, look around, how many people here are vying to come to me, what's wrong with eating your roast chicken? Tell you, this is your blessing, look at your honor, I will understand, your family has encountered a rebellion, and you escaped to find your senior brother." I don't know which noble person gave you a BMW and a few taels of silver, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?"

Gu Mu said angrily: "Demon Dao, you may have some physiognomy skills, the so-called magic skills are just tricks." I'm going to debunk you now,"

"The stone lion in the fat rich man's son's house was made by you who asked other feng shui gentlemen to instigate his son to release it himself, because the stone lion was too yang, preventing the child from being reincarnated, and then you came to crack it and defraud the money. ”

"Chen Xiucai is famous in Anyang, in order to subdue him and expand your reputation, you cast insect eggs in his kitchen to let the damp insects grow endlessly. The knock on the door of his house in the middle of the night is that you mix the Aracea powder with water and brush it on the door, and after the water dries, the wooden door naturally makes a clicking sound, which sounds like someone knocking on the door."

"Chen Xiucai's coughing sound under the bed is that you stuff a toad's mouth with ginger, and then sew the mouth together, and put it in a small box between the bed leg and the gap between the wall, so that every night, the toad will make the same coughing sound as the old man.

When Chen Xiucai's father was smoking, he suddenly had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, because you used three crabs and seven snails, dried them on the old tile, ground them into powder, and then secretly put them in the tobacco. This evil method can be solved with the blood of crucian carp.

"As for the inkstone under the bed leg and the brush hanging at the head of the bed, these are all feng shui tricks, and they really work. ”

"It's a pity that you didn't know how to stop after gaining fame and fortune, and in order to show off your skills, you actually exchanged your magic for my roast chicken,"

"Everyone is watching carefully to see how I can get the roast chicken back,"

After Gu Mu finished speaking, he pointed to the plate in front of him with his hand, and everyone saw a flower, and the roast chicken had returned to Gu Mu's plate completely.
