Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Strange Mountain Village
The entrance of the village is still some distance away from Wulipu, it is already evening, and in the wild countryside, people have rested very early, so there are no other local villagers except Lang Li. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The crowd continued to walk forward, and the three idle Taoists suddenly stopped them.
"Lang Li, let's get here first."
Lang Li nodded, he understood what the Sanxian Daoist meant, but Lu Zixiao didn't understand, his wound hurt badly, and he desperately wanted to find a comfortable bed to rest, but he didn't understand why the Sanxian Daoist didn't leave.
"Dao Chief, it's getting late, we should find an inn to stay in, why don't you leave?"
The three idle Taoists smiled and did not speak, and glanced at Gu Yingxue, and the master and apprentice walked towards the village together, "Hehe... You better ask Lang Oak! ā
Seeing the two of them leave like this, especially Gu Yingxue left, Lu Zixiao was a little anxious and a little inexplicable.
"Lang Oak, what do they mean by that?"
Not only did he not understand, but neither did the flowers.
Lang Li smiled and said: "Miss Hua Rui has already said that the castle master may be the mastermind behind the scenes, and it is Cangming Mountain that he led us to, he now believes that we are dead, if we appear rashly, we will not see many things."
Lady Hua Rui is a person from Wuli Fort, not only the castle lord recognizes them, but their family may also recognize them, so they are not suitable to go back to the village, only the three idle Daoists and Yingxue girl are fresh faces, so the Taoist chief asked us to stop advancing. ā
Lu Zixiao nodded knowingly. "Oh, I see, but forget about the ancient girl, the Sanxian Daoist is very famous in the rivers and lakes, isn't she afraid that the castle lord will recognize her?"
"I don't know about this, since the Taoist chief proposed to explore the way, I think he should have his own way."
Lu Zixiao looked at the people around her, "So, you all know that old-fashioned intention?" ā
Qi Qinghan smiled and didn't speak, Ruyan and Hua Rui both shook their heads.
"Hey, why do you like to play tricks, how good it is to explain directly."
One sentence made everyone laugh, and they laughed too, laughing very happily, they had forgotten the last time they laughed so happily.
The three idle people held the dust in their hands, walking leisurely on the country road, Gu Yingxue followed closely with a long black bag,
"Everything in the world has a cause, and it is difficult to complete life and death. In the past life, the dream of wealth and splendor, and the suffering in this life is in the world. Fortune telling, fortune telling, spiritual fortune divination, fortune fortune unpredictable prophet..."
The three idle Taoist people chatted while walking, because it is difficult to see such a monk in the countryside, so many villagers stopped and watched, and some villagers even spent money to calculate their own good fortune and misfortune.
The sky seems to be dark but not dark, the people in the village gradually become more, some walk after eating, some are chatting about homely things, three idle Taoists and Gu Yingxue sit in the tea shed, eating snacks and tasting tea, counting a few hexagrams for the villagers from time to time.
It seems that his hexagram is very accurate, many people call him an old fairy, and the three idle Taoists wave their hands again and again, and the witty words are constant.
The village is very large, but the social circle of the villagers is very small, and the whole village will know that there is such an old immortal in the village, how can the castle owner not know it.
When the lamp was in hand, the small tea shed was full of people, and the castle owner shook his body to the tea shed and sat respectfully opposite the three idle Taoists.
"This Daoist, what do you call it?"
"Hehe... Poor and down-and-out Taoist. ā
The castle lord was surprised, "An immortal wind dao bone like you is also downcast?" ā
"Haha... The donor smiled, if he didn't break it, how could he be reduced to the point of telling fortunes for others and breaking the heavens. ā
"Oh!" The castle lord nodded.
"May I ask the donor's name, is it also to ask for a sign here?"
The castle lord hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Dao Ye Huiyan, I am the local castle lord below, my surname is Luo, my name is Luo Kang, I heard that Dao Ye's divination is extremely accurate, and I have come to ask you for advice." ā
Sanxian Dao sneered in his heart, dimming that this Luo Kang's performance was so good, if he didn't know, he would definitely be deceived by his honesty.
"Since he is the lord of the castle, he should obey his fate, but I don't know what the hexagram of the castle lord is?"
"As the owner of the castle, of course, I want to calculate the bad luck of Wuli Fort, and whether the future can be smooth."
Hearing this, the three idle Taoists smiled and closed their eyes slightly, pinched their fingers, and said something in their mouths.
The villagers were quietly waiting for the results, and the three idle Taoists frowned and slowly opened their eyes.
The castle lord hurriedly asked, "Dao Ye, how is the hexagram?" ā
Ay......
"For some reason, my hexagram does not calculate the future situation of Wulibao, but judging from this hexagram, it seems that the last few days have not been very peaceful, and there are red clouds floating in the east, which is an unlucky sign."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers began to discuss what the red cloud located in the east was easy for the local villagers to think of.
The castle lord frowned and was silent, not knowing what to think.
"Besides, Castle Master, have any people from the village been here lately?"
The castle lord was stunned for a moment, and his eyes stared at the eyes of the three idle Taoists, trying in vain to read something in his eyes.
"A few people came a few days ago, but they're gone, and they're no longer here. Why did Dao Ye ask so much? ā
"The lord of the castle is not in a hurry, I saw a few living people going east in the poor road hexagram, and then the red clouds in the east rained, and then, I never saw these living people again."
"What do you mean by this?" Luo Kang's eyes were no longer honest, but became sharp.
"The meaning of the poor road is that calamity arises and ends in the red cloud."
"Is there a way to save the Daoist?" Luo Kang asked with some doubts.
"Hehe... It is difficult for the castle owner to be poor, and it is really difficult to change his life against the sky. ā
Luo Kang nodded, recalling the words of the down-and-out Taoist in his heart.
"Castle Master?"
Luo Kang came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Dao Master! ā
"Castle master, after the hexagram is calculated, can you pay the poor hexagram?"
Luo Kang reacted at this time, and hurriedly took out a tael of silver from his arms.
"Hehe... Thank you, Lord Castle. With that, Sanxian Daoist and Gu Yingxue got up, said goodbye to Shi Li present, and left with a smile.
Along the main road in the village, the master and apprentice walked westward, with a slow and leisurely pace.
"Master, aren't we going back to find Brother Lang and them?" Gu Yingxue whispered.
The three idle Daoists walked in all directions and said with a smile: "That castle lord named Luo Kang will definitely send someone to follow me, if we return the same way, I am afraid that they will be exposed." ā
"yes, I also think you said too much, which made him suspicious."
"Yingxue, in fact, I said a lot, but I didn't say anything, I'm a fortune teller, everything I calculate is unknown, only people with weak hearts will be afraid, and the ambiguity I say will make him uneasy, so as to expose his feet."
Gu Yingxue nodded, finally understanding Master's intentions.
The master and apprentice walked all the way to the entrance of the West Village, and the castle lord really sent someone to follow them, but they just went out of the West Village and looked for the master and apprentice again, but they had long disappeared.
Half an hour after leaving the West Village, the master and apprentice finally found Lang Li and them in a forest.
"Dao Chief, how about this?" Lang Li looked up and asked.
"It's almost certain that what Miss Blossom said is true."
At night, the mountain wind howled, and people shivered with cold, as if they wanted to devour everything.
"Let's get together and have a bite to eat!" Gu Yingxue said and took out the dry food she bought in Wulibao from her bag, Lang Li didn't expect Gu Yingxue to be so careful.
After eating and drinking, the three idle Taoists told everyone what had happened, so that they knew it in their hearts.
The mountain wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the women have long since shrunk together, and the men are not much better.
"Stamen, do you know where you can sleep in the open nearby?"
Hua Rui thought for a while and said: "I remember that there is a ruined temple about five miles to the southeast, I went there to play when I was a child, I don't know if there is still now, we can go and see it." ā
Hearing this, everyone was in high spirits, and hurriedly got up and walked to the southeast.
ā¦ā¦
Luo Kang, the lord of Wulibao Fort, who was next to the candle flame, looked at the flickering flames, his eyes were straight, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Today's down-and-out Taoist divination is so accurate, could it be that he is really a half-immortal body, or a coincidence, or...
Thinking of this, Luo Kang's eyes became more and more cold, took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words hastily, and then tied it to the red eagle's legs.
In the dark night sky, a strange red eagle hovered in the air, suddenly flapping its huge wings and disappearing into the night sky.
A five-mile journey is not a distance at all for people who are in a hurry. As Hua Rui said, there really is a ruined temple here. It is said that the temple is broken, but there is no one to worship it, and there is a lack of incense.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, the door panels are covered with cobwebs, the old incense burners are stacked in the corners, and the stone steps are covered with moss.
Gently push the door panel, the dust drifts everywhere with the wind, the dark Buddha hall is dark, the door is squeaked by the wind, although it is the place of the sacred Buddha gate, but at this moment it looks extremely terrifying.
Ruyan tugged at Lang Li's shirt tightly, carefully following behind him, and the alarmed rats were skewered on the ground.
Bang......
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thundered, lightning instantly illuminated the Buddha hall, Arhats and Buddha statues appeared in an instant, and the holy and benevolent Bodhisattva in the past became extremely terrifying at this moment.
After the thunder, it was followed by a downpour, thunder and lightning, if it weren't for Lang Li, I am afraid that I would have cried like smoke.
Buddhism is not a family, but the purpose of preaching is much the same, they are all persuading people to be good, the three idle Taoist people are not afraid, he is a monk, he believes that the gods will not infringe on the good people.
He took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit the remaining candle on it, and the Buddha hall instantly brightened up, and the terrifying atmosphere disappeared. The only thing that is really scary is the ghost in people's hearts.
Everyone was tired, and each found a comfortable position, either sitting or lying, never thinking that the dilapidated temple collar in the wild would be so warm.
Hua Rui and a few other girls looked around at the Buddha Hall, as if they were familiar, and there was a feeling that something was wrong, and a complicated color flashed in their eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Lang Li saw it in his eyes and said softly: "Miss Blossom, you said that you hate Wulibao and everything here, if he sees your family again one day, what will happen to you?" ā
Hua Rui was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how to answer, she had thought about this question, but there was never an answer, and now that Lang Li said it, she didn't know how to answer, her eyes looked away, ignoring Lang Li, in fact, she might be evading.
