The north side of Yangling-eup is mainly inhabited by refugees who fled and some people who have been relocated due to crimes, belonging to the slums, although the population here is large, but the market is not large, it is already crowded, and today is the first day of the new year, so many people came, all of them were people from the surrounding areas of Xianyang, and the whole market was surrounded by water.

Early in the morning, a simple bamboo shed was erected in the center of the market, and a square table was placed in the middle, on which an incense burner and a large gourd were standing, and there was a monk standing next to him.

The monk with the nine-section scepter in his hand was the hero of Yangling.

Seeing the patients go up one by one, the heroes of Yangling first asked the patients to burn incense and kneel down to worship the big incense burner, light an incense, kowtow and think, and guide the patients to tell their mistakes, pray for the forgiveness of the gods, sincerity is the spirit, when telling must be pious to repent, as long as they are sincere, they can get the forgiveness of the gods, and the sins will be eliminated.

Then take out the pre-drawn pot talisman, there are two kinds of jugon talismans and jade talismans, which are made of a yellow strip of cloth with cinnabar written with a blessing to pray to the gods. I saw that Yangling Daxia picked up the pot talisman in his left hand, held the nine-section staff in his right hand, stepped on the gang step, stepped on the gang step, stepped on the bucket, and did it back and forth, and then burned the talisman, and the burned ash was mixed with clear water. The hero of Yangling took the bowl of mixed water to the patient who was still kowtowing and thinking, and he still had words in his mouth, as if praying for God's blessing, and after a while, he ordered the patient to drink it.

For those patients who have come to treat their illnesses before, Yangling Daxia asks them in detail, if the condition improves, they say that they have believed in the Tao and have been blessed by the gods, if the condition is not good, they are said to be unable to believe, not pious enough, and they still need to continue to think about it after returning home, and come back in ten days.

There are really a lot of people who come to the market today to see a doctor in Yangling, it is bustling and endless.

Gongsun Yu also came to watch with the three of them, and the scene in front of him made him feel very funny and helpless, and when he was sick, he didn't go to the doctor but asked the ghosts and gods to listen to these rumors; But think about it again, now is the BC period, the last years of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, these things are really popular in the society at this time, even after a few hundred years later, the Taiping Road of Zhangjiao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is the same, and the Manichaean uprising of the Northern Song Dynasty more than a thousand years later, and the White Lotus uprising of the Qing Dynasty after two thousand years.

Lu Ji and Jiang Chong even crowded to the front to watch, strangely, Lu Ji, who usually likes to comment on the head and taste, watched quietly now, and also fell into contemplation.

Yangling heroes have been busy until the sunset before closing the stall, today the patients who came to treat the disease are indeed many, it is estimated that the season is ready to change, there are more sick people, of course, the ancient people are estimated not to pay attention to these laws, but also thought that they offended the gods, to repent and think.

Lu Ji and Jiang Chong stayed until everyone dispersed and there was no one left, and then they greeted Yangling Daxia.

I saw Lu Ji step forward and salute the hero of Yangling, and said: "The hero is good at spells, I admire you, are you Zhu Anshi?" ”

When the Yangling hero heard Lu Ji ask like this, he hurriedly looked at this comer, thought for a while, and then nodded and said: "This big brother is so familiar, I think of it, could it be Lu Ji, a disciple of the Wuzi of Beibi Mountain?" ”

"It's the little brother, Brother Zhu has a good memory, it's been more than ten years, and he still remembers me."

"When my master Xuanjuzi took me to Beibi Mountain to visit Lingshi, we got along for more than a month, learning and discussing the Tao together every day, practicing swords together, and sleeping together at night, how could we forget?"

"Come on, let's introduce, this is my junior brother Jiang Chong, when you went to Beibi Mountain, he hadn't gone up the mountain yet." Lu Ji pulled Jiang Chong over to meet Zhu Anshi, and by the way, he also introduced Lu Fu and Gongsun Yu.

"Brother Lu, everyone is hungry, if you don't go to my house, I'll invite everyone to drink."

As soon as he heard that there was wine to drink, Lu Ji was very happy, and hurriedly beckoned Jiang Chong and them to go together, and Zhu Anshi also instructed his disciples to go to Zhang Luo to greet the guests quickly.

Zhu Anshi lives on Xuanwu Street in Yanglingyi, and although there are a few houses, they are still quite simple, not as high-walled and blue-tiled as the big families in the central area of the city and in the south.

After two glasses of wine, Zhu Anshi said more and more, and he has been criticizing the imperial court for fighting for many years, making the people's livelihood miserable, and Lu Ji also expressed the same feeling, the more the two of them chatted, the more speculative they became, and they all left Jiang Chong and them aside.

Of course, the two of them chatted and chatted about today's opening of the altar to exorcise ghosts and eliminate disasters, only to hear Lu Ji asking Zhu Anshi: "Brother Zhu, look at the Gangbu you stepped on today, first the Big Dipper Seven Yuan Gang, and then the South Dipper Six Ke Gang, so the step style is not too varied, and finally it is better to take different steps for different patients." ”

Lu Ji is the eldest disciple of Wu Delusion, and he has won the true biography of Wu Delusion, and the formation and number of techniques of Wu Delusion are handed down by the ancestor Zhang Liang, who was very famous at that time, and Zhu Anshi also knew this, so he asked: "Brother Lu, you have a point, there are indeed many kinds of Bugang Fighting, and there are endless changes, but I don't have enough to master, and I ask Brother Lu for more guidance." ”

After Lu Ji took a sip of wine, he continued: "You're welcome, Brother Zhu, you can try the steps of Twenty-eight Sugang, Santai Chaoyuangang, and Yuwang in three steps and nine traces, and there will be many changes." ”

Lu Ji explained while demonstrating to Zhu Anshi and them, seeing that Zhu Anshi and all the disciples were fascinated, and there were a few praises from time to time.

But Jiang Chong and the others felt quite bored, and they all drank silently. At this time, Lu Fu saw a painting hanging in the middle of the hall, in which was an old man holding a nine-section staff in his hand and carrying a big gourd on his back, so he asked, "Brother Zhu, may I ask who is painted in this painting?" ”

Hearing Lu Fu asking, Zhu Anshi realized that he had snubbed a few of them, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I've been chatting with Brother Lu very happily, but I have snubbed everyone, this painting is a portrait of my master's Xuanju, my master has passed away for a few years, and I hung this painting as a memory." ”

When Jiang Chong heard that the old man in the painting was a Xuanjuzi, he hurriedly said: "Could it be Xie Yuan, a Xuanjuzi, I remember that the master always mentioned him back then, saying that he often practiced on Taibai Mountain in Zhongnan Mountain, and his magic power was boundless." ”

"Yes, after his immortal death, this nine-section scepter and the big gourd were passed on to me, telling me to exorcise ghosts and cure diseases for the general public, and eliminate disasters and avoid disasters."

"Xuanjuzi thinks about the common people in the world, which is really immeasurable."

"Thank you for your compliment, you passed by Yangling, do you want to go to Chang'an City?"

"Yes, we came from Hejian and wanted to go to Chang'an City, passing by here, it happened that Brother Zhu was exorcising ghosts and curing diseases for the people, which really opened our eyes."

"Where is it, Chang'an City is very close to here, if you don't stay for a few more days, you will leave."

"No need, Brother Zhu, we still have some things to do when we go to Chang'an City."

Seeing that Zhu Anshi was very polite, Jiang Chong hurriedly said.

At this time, Gongsun Yu thought that Chang'an City was unfamiliar with life, how could he find his uncle Gongsun Qing, looking at the Yangling hero in front of him, his skills were really not small, it was better to ask him if he knew where his uncle lived, so he asked: "Brother Zhu, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

Hearing Gongsun Yu asking, Zhu Anshi said happily: "Say, little brother, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." ”

"My uncle is Gongsun Qing, I don't know if you know him? I went to Chang'an City this time to find him, do you know where he lives in Chang'an City?

"Haha, little brother, you have found the right person, I have a clan brother named Zhu Lilun, who is the housekeeper of Gongsun Qing's mansion, you go to him and ask him to take you there."

"Then how can I find your clan brother Zhu Lilun?" Gongsun Yu continued to ask.

"This is simple, he usually has a few good brothers, all of them are fellow villagers here in Yangling, and often meet at the Xiaoyaoju Restaurant in Chengdong City, Chang'an, this restaurant is one of the brothers named Guo Taokai, you go there to ask, say that I introduced you to find him, see him and explain the reason, he will help you."

"That's very good, thank you, Brother Zhu."

When they heard that they could find Gongsun Qing, everyone was very happy, so they also drank happily until late at night.

The next day, everyone set off, Zhu Anshi ran to see him off, and before parting, he told everyone to come to Yanglingyi to see him if they were free.

Yanglingyi is in the northeast of Chang'an City, separated by a Wei River, and across the Wei River is Chang'an City.

Chang'an City was the capital at that time, and it was the political, economic and cultural center of the country, and it was extremely prosperous. Chang'an City has convenient transportation, the streets are Dongda, the roads are straight, and the longitude and latitude are in phase. There are eight streets and nine mos in the city, and each street leading from the city gate to the city is "covered with three wide roads", and more than a dozen carriages can be paralleled at the same time.

Gongsun Yu and the four of them entered the city at the Hengmen in the north of Chang'an City, and when they entered the Hengmen, they were Huayang Street, and the east of Huayang Street was the East Market, and the west was the West Market.

When they arrived in Dongshi, seeing that it was getting late, they found a place called Yunlai Inn on the edge of Dongshi to rest.
