Chapter 144: The Mysterious Master
In July, the weather in the capital was hot and dry, and it did not rain for many days. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Ice cubes were originally a scarce thing, but the Five Kingdoms Imperial Banquet was about to be held, and the amount of ice made in the imperial city was not enough, so more ice cubes were collected from the people.
As a result, the amount of ice in the homes of other people in Beijing who can afford ice cubes is even more scarce.
"It's really going to be hot and dead, and if it doesn't rain anymore, I'm going to be out of breath."
Outside the Jade Xuan, several little maids kept complaining, there seemed to be a rolling heat wave in the air wrapping people's whole bodies, the scorching sun was on their heads, and when they moved slightly, their whole bodies were soaked with sweat.
"Be content, there is still a piece of ice in the master's house, you who can enter the house to serve, are not cool and cool." The other maid said enviously.
"How can it, there are a total of five pieces of ice in the house, two are in the main courtyard, one is in the Shizi's room, and the remaining two are kept by Miss Er for later use." The little maid said.
When the maids heard this, they began to talk again.
In the house, Fu Yanxi leaned on the soft couch, and Moshu and Zhihua helped her fan one after the other.
"Rest, too, I'm lying still, it's not that hot." Fu Yanxi said.
"It's okay, Miss can rest in peace." Ink calligraphy.
"The hearts of those who are hot are panicking. There was a drought in Huaibei a few days ago, but I don't know what it has become now. Fu Yanxi was a little worried.
"Who's to say it's not, I'm afraid it's so hot that people die at this time. I just don't know when it will rain. Zhihua said.
"Miss, I heard two days ago that there was a Taoist in the capital, who was instructed by the gods and goddesses to understand the yin and yang of heaven and earth, which is very magical." Moshu thought about saying something else to make Fu Yanxi feel better.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Is it true or false? Fu Yanxi was interested. In the past, she didn't believe in these gods and ghosts, but after her death, all the things that happened happened to her, so she couldn't help but believe it.
"Really. I heard that they were able to summon evil spirits and hunt evil spirits, and that anyone who had any grievances could seek him, and they would not be blessed with gold or silver treasures, but only for a full meal. So many families in the capital are looking for him. Moshu said.
"This is strange, so it seems that he is really a god and has helped the world and the people?" Fu Yanxi said curiously.
"Yes, it is said that there is a lady who has a difficult birth, Lang Zhong said that he is out of breath, one corpse and two lives, who knows that as soon as the master arrived, he posted a few talismans, and the pregnant woman came back to life, and even the child was saved, and she was alive." Moshu said. Later, a stone was given to a beggar in the street, and it turned into gold with the finger of his hand. There was also a murder case in a county in Gyeonggi, and the government couldn't find the murderer, so the master opened his eyes and asked the gods, and found out who the murderer was......"
Mo Shu talked endlessly, Fu Yanxi and Zhihua also listened with relish, and suddenly they couldn't feel hot or not.
After listening to the words of the ink book, Zhihua said: "If there is really such a master in this world, I should ask the gods when it will rain." ”
"Well, Zhihua's words are reasonable." Fu Yanxi said with a smile. "It may be that he has excellent medical skills when he comes back to life, and he may be able to discern the case and arrest the murderer, but this matter of Shi Chengjin is too mysterious, but it is a bit fake."
"Who's to say it's not, it's all rumors, it's just a fun time to say it, probably no one cares." Moshu said.
Fu Yanxi didn't expect that this Taoist who was purely told for fun would really have a reputation in the capital. first cured the stubborn illness of the daughter-in-law of the owner for many years, and then caught the evil ghost who sucked the blood of the west family.
When officials in the court heard about this man, they recommended him to the emperor. The emperor was curious, and actually summoned this person to the palace, never thought that this person would not change his face when he saw the Son of Heaven, and he was not afraid to say that the drought in Huaibei was because some officials injured the dragon vein because of their greed for political achievements, so it caused God to condemn the crime.
The emperor ordered someone to investigate it in detail, and sure enough, this was indeed the case. The governor of a certain state capital in Huaibei recruited farmers to dig a canal for political success. But this canal is where the dragon vein is located, and the dragon vein is dug up when the canal is dug through, so there is no rain in Huaibei for months.
The emperor immediately believed what the Taoist said, and asked him if there was a way to save him. The Taoist said that he only needed to fill in the canal, and he could beg the gods for forgiveness in three days. Sure enough, the Taoist went to Huaibei, and soon heard that the wells in Huaibei, which had been dry for many months, were filled with water, and the drought was alleviated.
The Taoist priest returned to the dynasty, and the emperor was regarded as a master, and he was specially appointed as a subordinate official of Qintian. Unexpectedly, the Taoist did not seek fame, but still asked for a meal, and the emperor felt that God forgave him, so he allowed him to build a mansion in white clothes to ensure that he ate and drank without worry all day long.
At this time, the name of this Taoist priest spread all over the world, and everyone in the world knew that this "cloth cloth chief" was the "living bodhisattva" who saved the suffering.
"Daddy, this cloth chief is really so amazing, so why haven't you heard him talk about how to make it rain this day?" In Qingwu Courtyard, Fu Yanxi asked.
"How was it not asked. In the early dynasties, the emperor once asked him how he could beg for Ganlin, but he said that now there is no rain in the sky, and it is not a villain like Huaibei. Therefore, it will take a while to know the reason, so the emperor left him. Fu Qingyan replied.
"In my opinion, this person can't be cheated and crooked, but now he is poor in donkey skills, right?" Fu Zichen asked.
"In the past, I thought so, but this Huaibei drought is unbelievable. On that day, so many officials in Huaibei watched it, how could he make a fuss in front of everyone with his own strength. This is also the reason why the emperor didn't believe it at first, but finally trusted him. Fu Qingyan said.
"What's more, this person has a word, rain and shine, cold and warm, all are the will of heaven, although he is guided by the gods, but can not judge the will of heaven, if too much leakage of heavenly opportunities, it will inevitably bring great disasters to the world, so he can only beg for the people within his ability." Fu Qingyan said.
In this way, it is also reasonable, this cloth-clothed Taoist is not like those Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and ghosts in the past, but they are full of lies. He doesn't value fame and fortune like this today, and he doesn't go against the will of God, but it will make people believe that he really has some ability. Fu Yanxi said: "Maybe this time he is really a master of the world, out of the mountains to help the world, in this way, it also shows that the emperor's fame is the heart of the world." ”
Fu Zichen nodded and said, "What Yan'er said has some truth, but I still think something is weird." Maybe I'm overthinking. ”
