Chapter 1683 - Word Measurement
In October, Lingnan is still full of greenery, a small city with a mysterious color hidden among the green mountains and green waters, and the city presents a scene of happy living and working.
With the rise of Lin Haoran and the United Business Group, the Changlin clan fell to become the largest clan in the entire Lingnan region, and everyone in the clan no longer needed to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After several years, they have also explored an effective management method: focusing on cultivating talents, cultivating the younger generation of the clan, and then transporting them to some important industries under the United Business Group.
The layout of the houses in the city is quite exquisite, the perfect drainage system, and the people who live here are becoming more and more tidy, making it like an ancient city scenic spot in later generations.
What is surprising is that in addition to the private houses here, there is also an exquisite Taoist temple rising from the ground, and the horizontal plaque is three "Luofu Temple" with a gilded black background.
A Taoist priest of medium stature was wearing a clean blue robe, with a wooden bun on his head, and his face was ruddy without a trace of wrinkles, but his hair was already silvery.
He was sitting upright in the Taoist temple, facing the villagers who were queuing in outside, but he was asking questions and looking at faces, so as to help people cut off their future or check their luck.
"The face is not bad, but this son is not reading material, let's let him learn the accounting room!"
"Huh...... Although this son is stubborn by nature, he can distinguish right from wrong with both eyes, and he can become a great weapon in the future! ”
"This son will have a big catastrophe at the age of sixteen, so keep him in Changlin Village, at least he can't leave western Guangdong before he is sixteen!"
……
Facing the children brought by his parents, the silver-haired Taoist first asked him about the children's eight characters and the faces of the children one by one, and finally told the children's parents in a serious manner.
The parents who led the children here had great trust in the silver-haired Taoist, and after listening to the Taoist's words, they all took it to heart and would obediently do it.
"Next!"
The silver-haired Taoist chief seemed to be in a good mood, and commanded the young Taoist priest next to him.
This is none other than Wu Daoxing, one of Hu Niu's followers, but he has changed from a sloppy Taoist priest in the past to a silver-haired Taoist who is now a dignified Taoist.
Wu Daoxing's fame has long been not limited to Changlin Village, but has shocked the entire western Guangdong and even the entire Lingnan land.
Not to mention the group of people from the United Business Group, even the dignitaries and nobles in the entire Guangdong, they all sent people to ask Wu Daochang to help them see feng shui and physiognomy.
Now, he's already a month. Today happened to be the first day of October, and he sat in the Luofu Temple to explain all kinds of troubles to these villagers who came to see their faces.
"Wu Shenxian, the little old man didn't come to tell fortunes today, but specially brought a family to thank the immortals! Come, kneel, kneel, our family will kowtow to the great benefactor! ”
A little old man pulled his son, daughter-in-law and grandson to Wu Daoxing, and after explaining the intention of the trip, he was busy beckoning his family to kneel down and thank him.
Wu Daoxing had a fairy demeanor, and said lightly: "Get up!" This year, your family can avoid the catastrophe, as long as you find a stable place and do more good deeds on weekdays, life will get better and better, and your grandson may be able to give your grandson family glory in the future! ”
"Thank you, old fairy!" When the little old man heard this, he thanked him again.
Wu Daoxing listened to this "old immortal", and couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly on his face, and touched his hanging silver hair.
The movement here is not small, and the people in line outside have heard some rough things.
A rich man who came here wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the scene in front of him with his feet crossed, but he couldn't help muttering: "What's going on? It won't be a to-...... Right? ”
When a Changlin villager next to him heard these words, he immediately ridiculed and said, "Wu Shenxian still needs to find a trust?" That's all a trick used by charlatans. Wu Shenxian told the little old man that his family committed a crime of eight characters, and the year of Jiazi was even more robbed, so they must live away from the mountain. This little old man listened to Wu Shenxian's words and moved to live elsewhere, but the house where he originally lived was buried by a landslide at night, and their family can be said to have picked up a life! ”
There are people who know the truth, and there are people who don't know the situation, but when they heard the whole story, they worshiped this Wu immortal who was famous in the whole Lingnan.
In fact, many people know in their hearts that Wu Daoxing can gain such a great reputation, and it must not be a charlatan who relies on asking for help, but a really capable Taoist.
"What is this, our Sun Fugui's family in Qingye Town has already declined, but obeying Wu Shenxian only changed the location of the ancestral tomb, and as a result, the Sun family is now rich!" Another man said with disdain.
The rich man found that many hostile eyes were cast at him, and immediately bowed his hands again and again and apologized sincerely: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have lost your words!" ”
While speaking, it was the turn of a rather personable middle-aged man, but the gentleman's suit he was wearing washed off the sauce, and the servant who followed behind him was also yellow-skinned.
He came to the table and sat down, his eyes looking at Wu Daoxing with a provocative taste.
Wu Daoxing's eyes were a little tired, and he took a sip of the tea cup given by the young Taoist priest, and then raised his head and said lightly: "Please write down your name and eight characters?" ”
"I came here this time, I just want to test the words!" The middle-aged man's eyes kept staring at Wu Daoxing, but he was unwilling to reveal his name.
"Why are you like this, my master doesn't know how to speak!" When the young Taoist priest heard this, he frowned and wanted to rush the people.
Wu Daoxing could actually refuse, but when he raised his hand to stop the apprentice from driving people away, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said with a smile: "I don't know what the word is?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't expect the other party to be so happy, so he thought about it for a while, and then picked up the pen and paper on the desktop and wrote the word "Lu" on the white paper, and the font was quite skillful.
Wu Daoxing put down the teacup, turned the paper around, and said, "Lu, the spine is also." You go to Beijing this time, you can be compared to Lu Shang, fishing on the shore of Weishui, meeting Xibo Hou Jichang, and meeting nobles! ”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man who was waiting to hear the joke immediately straightened his eyes and said in shock: "You...... How do you know I'm an official? ”
"Huh...... Isn't that what your words tell me? Wu Daochang pointed to the words on the paper and explained with a smile: "What is the backbone, non-people, and officials!" In addition, as the saying goes, there are two official words, doesn't your word 'Lu' tell Poor Dao that you are an official? ”
"Yes, I'm an official, but I don't know if you can figure out where I'm an official?" The middle-aged man let go of the contemptuous person at the beginning and asked thoughtfully.
The people who stood outside the door and looked at the movement here were secretly surprised, but they didn't expect that this middle-aged man with a yellow-skinned servant turned out to be an official master.
Wu Daoxing glanced at the Lu character again, smiled and nodded at the word: "The Lu character is small at the top and big at the bottom, but you are bigger than the norm below, so you are living in the lower mouth, which also means fishing in the south of Weishui." Speaking of this, he looked up at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "You live in Qiongzhou Mansion overseas, but you still lack a trace of official appearance, so you are not the respect of a county, but the position of an official in Qiongzhou Mansion!" ”
When the people standing outside the door and looking around heard this push, they looked curiously at the reaction of the middle-aged man.
"Jiang Wenfeng, the magistrate of the Lower Qiongzhou Mansion, has seen the old immortal!" When Jiang Wenfeng heard this explanation, he was shocked in his heart, but he also said with joy and sincerity.
I really guessed it!
The people who were standing outside the door and looking at each other looked shocked when they saw Jiang Wenfeng's anti-peak.
Wu Daoxing stroked his beard lightly, smiled at Jiang Wenfeng, and said, "Lord Jiang doesn't need to be polite!" ”
"Old immortal, I still want to know if this official can be promoted in Beijing this time?" Jiang Wenfeng was also nervous when he went to Beijing this time, and he seemed to be seriously seeking advice.
Wu Daoxing said happily: "You write one more word!" ”
Jiang Wenfeng picked up the pen and looked at the Lu character written before, and his heart suddenly moved, but he wrote down a dignified word "product".
Wu Daoxing looked at this word, and said with a solemn face: "Pin, Zhongshu, this is not good for the future!" ”
When Jiang Wenfeng heard this explanation, he was also secretly surprised in his heart, regretting that he had just written this word hastily. I want to change to another one, but I feel that this is afraid that it is insincere, and it will not be a good future to test again.
Wu Daoxing's words changed and said: "But in the officialdom, the people are also the hearts of the people!" Lost in the east, harvested mulberry, although you are not promoted, but you can shock the world in a word! ”
Jiang Wenfeng immediately understood what Wu Daoxing was referring to, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
Wu Daoxing didn't say it thoroughly, and said to Jiang Wenfeng: "Lord Jiang, you can get the help of nobles to get a good position on this trip, but I still hope to speak for the people more!" ”
"If you can do what the old fairy said, this official will definitely ask for the people's lives!" Jiang Wenfeng responded seriously.
Wu Daoxing was satisfied with his attitude, so he advised: "Many things are a disaster, your luck this year is not good!" Your road to Beijing this time is also a hidden risk, and you have to read and say less to avoid causing trouble! ”
"Remember the teachings of the old immortals!" Jiang Wenfeng secretly remembered it in his heart, and he gave a gift again.
The people standing in front of the door learned what had just happened, and while looking at this official who came out of it in surprise, they also admired the old fairy's clever calculation even more.
The rich man who had been discussing before put away his contempt, and honestly lined up this long line against the sun. Although he complained that he couldn't get preferential treatment, he was able to get the guidance of this old immortal, and it was simply not worth mentioning to suffer this little crime.
At dusk, everyone reluctantly dispersed.
The people of Changlin Village are not in a hurry, although Wu Daoxing is always invited to go, but he lives in Changlin Village all year round. If they encounter something urgent, they can always find Wu Shenxian for advice.
Wu Daoxing's status in Changlin Village is transcendent, not only respected by the villagers, but also valued by the old patriarch, and he was invited by the old patriarch to drink at home.
The old patriarch's house is an ordinary second-entry house, and the two sons are outside, leaving him to live here with his wife, and the eldest daughter-in-law is here to take care of him.
The wine and food have been prepared, Wu Daoxing sat down unceremoniously, one foot still on the bench, there was no longer the slightest appearance of an old fairy, and it seemed that he had returned to the sloppy Taoist priest of the past.
The old clan is the actual manager of the village, and after eating a few mouthfuls of wine and meat, he lowered his voice and asked Wu Daoxing worriedly: "Dao Chief, this grave relocation day will be tomorrow, Nineteen is an official in the capital, and he usually goes to Guilin Mansion and does not return, what should I do?" ”
"This tomb is about feng shui, even if there are no blood relatives present, in fact, it is not hindered. I've been waiting for four years for this auspicious day, and I can't delay it because of this matter! After a pause, Wu Daoxing suppressed his voice again and said: "Actually, this is better, this matter is not easy to spread, the less people know, the more beneficial it is, but it can't be like the Yan family......"
"How is the Yan family?" The old patriarch also had a gossip heart, so he asked curiously.
Wu Daoxing picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said gloatingly: "Yan Shifan has indeed found a very powerful feng shui gentleman and helped him find a dragon's lair hidden mother!" It's just that their Yan family is in decline, Yan Song is already eighty-four years old, but he Yan Shifan still wants to use the dragon's lair to turn things around. He Yan Shifan didn't listen to the words of the feng shui gentleman, and he didn't choose a good auspicious day, but he also went around to talk about finding the treasure dragon, which was inevitably urinated by the villain. According to Lao Dao, that acupuncture point can only be dispersed before the dragon qi gathers, I am afraid that it will be transformed into resentment, and his Yan family is afraid of a catastrophe! ”
"Then, our treasure cave ......" The old patriarch was shocked and looked at Wu Daoxing worriedly.
Wu Daoxing took a sip of the spirits, but waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "Lin Shilang is now in full swing, this cave has been nourished for more than four years, once he enters Tibet according to the auspicious day, he will definitely be able to add a few points of luck to him!"
"Can you really enter the cabinet to pay respects?" The old patriarch looked at no one on the left and right, and asked seriously.
Wu Daoxing's eyes flashed with disdain, but he still responded gently: "If the relocation of the grave is successful, it can be said that it will be like a tiger with wings, and it will definitely be able to become an old man!" ”
"I also forgot Mr. to help, my long clan will support Mr. for generations, and if there is disrespect in the clan, I will break his legs!" The old patriarch's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately solemnly promised.
"I'm a person with a thin life, you can greet me with good wine and meat every day!" Wu Daoxing wiped his oil-stained mouth with his sleeve, as if he thought of something, and admonished again: "By the way, the Shuangfeng View you built for me in Shuangfeng Peak should not be too extravagant, so as not to break off all the longevity of the old Dao!" ”
The old patriarch is now holding a large sum of silver taels in his hand, and his original intention is to build a big Taoist temple for Wu Daoxing, which can be regarded as repaying Wu Daoxing for helping their Changlin clan over the years.
Just listening to Daoist Wu's words, he agreed and said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the gods!" ”
While he was talking, there was a sudden movement outside.
A sturdy figure came straight in from the outside, first greeted the old patriarch, and then saw Wu Daoxing and said in surprise: "Uncle, I'm back!" Hey, Wu Daoxing, why did you go to my uncle's house to eat and drink again! ”
Wu Daoxing wiped his mouth with meat crumbs with his sleeve again, but he protested: "When did I eat and drink, now the people who invite me to eat and drink can be lined up from here to Leizhou City, I have to eat and drink with the old patriarch with a similar temper!" After a pause, he said dissatisfiedly: "We are now righteous masters and apprentices, why do you still call me by my name?" ”
