The fourth year of the Apocalypse, Summer; At that time, the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao, reigned.

I am full of poetry and books, and I walk the world with a sword in my hand;

However, the hereditary brocade clothes are holding the mountains and rivers of Xiuchun Town.

"Lord Li, Lord Li, wake up, don't sleep, I'm here to deliver food under the mountain." The Taoist boy in the Taoist temple shouted in a milky voice.

"I know, this is coming, it's all affecting my dreams, don't call next time, it's okay if the food is cold." Master Li rolled over in bed and said.

This Lord Li, named Li Hong, is a native of Shuntianfu, his ancestors followed Emperor Zhu Di to move the capital and settled in Beiping.

In his generation, he tried hundreds of households from six grades, and was transferred by his boss to a small village less than fifty miles away from the imperial city to catch the imaginary "bandit". It's also quiet.

"I have no chance with the flying fish suit in my life, at the feet of this son of heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, where did the thieves come from, this is obviously not when I am a Li and a good bully!"

Li Hong turned over and covered the quilt again, thinking in his heart.

"No, I'm a Li person, how can you wait to bully, when I catch the bandit and make military merits, return to the imperial city, do a few answers, step up, put on a flying fish suit, hold an embroidered spring knife, even my colleagues are not afraid, and then buy a set of yards, to be big enough, two in"

"Lord Li, Master Li, someone is looking for someone outside" Dao Tong's voice sounded again.

"I'm coming, don't rush, don't affect my meditation and practice." Li Hong sat up on the bed and shouted.

"Got it, I'm going to reply to the guest." Daotong said as he left.

"I just thought of where, yes, buy a big house, two in and two out, no, I haven't gotten up yet, how many times have I changed? Don't think about it, get up first. Li Hong changed his clothes and got up and went to the front hall of the Taoist temple.

"Brother Li, don't come unharmed!" The person who came was dressed in a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife hanging on the left and a brocade order hanging on the right.

"Lord Wang, you are here, please take a seat." Li Hong replied.

This Lord Wang and Li Hong are almost the same age, the two ancestors are friends in the world, but this Wang family has always inherited thousands of households, and the Li family has become a test hundred households from the six products, and then there is no real name here, there are only a few crops to protect the village, and there is no merchant silver to collect, and the mix is not as good as the small flag in the imperial city.

Of course, this is also because he doesn't want to go far, if he is transferred to a small town in Jiangnan, he can live a rich life. So under Wang Qianhu's activity, he came here to catch the "bandits".

"Brother Li, don't laugh, don't do anything today, just be casual, don't bother me, why don't we go out for a tour, there is no such scenery in the imperial city."

"Brother Wang, let's talk while walking, no, I'm afraid that others will gossip, I'll go to Brother Wang's place to sit down a long time ago, and when I transfer back to the imperial city, I'll go to get drunk with you."

The two walked while talking, walked out of the Taoist temple, and went to the back mountain.

"Brother Wang, I'm here, there is a chance for you to return to the imperial city, I don't dare to say it, but it's okay to live a rich life, I don't know if Brother Li has any ideas?"

"If it's not difficult to deal with, it's great, Brother Wang, you know, I'm shy in my pocket."

"Brother Li, you can rest assured, Wang Gongchang you know, it is the location in the southwest corner of the imperial city."

"I know this, the guards inside have changed a few people, is it possible, this time it has been changed again?" Li Hong stopped and asked.

"Yes, when the last one smoked dry tobacco, he accidentally detonated the workshop of Wang Gongchang, and returned to the west, now, no one dares to go, we Jinyiwei, there are a few people who don't smoke, this is not just right for you, try a hundred households from five products, and this duty position is just right."

"This place is a bit evil, Brother Wang, let me think about the following, and give you an answer in a few days." Li Hong replied embarrassedly.

Although no one wants to go to this position, it is not in the hands of Wang Qianhu, it is another Qianhu who is in charge, and Jinyiwei is consistent with the outside world, but the internal battle has not stopped, and it must be difficult for Brother Wang.

The two caught up for a while, and before it was early, they separated.

Li Hong was still thinking about whether to go or not to go.

"Oops" didn't notice that he was tripped by the threshold of the Taoist temple and knelt on the ground.

"Layman, come to incense, you don't have to go into the door to bow down to the old way, you have to go to the front hall, kneel down to worship the Sanqing patriarch, may I ask the layman, what is your wish? The old way can calculate a hexagram for you, and then the layman can put incense, may I ask the layman, do you bring your own incense? If you don't bring it, the old way is here, the incense doesn't cost money, it's a hexagram for free, and it's a lot. ”

"How much is it?" Li Hong's mind was clear and asked, listening to the old way, he completely forgot that he was still kneeling.

"Ahem, layman, you get up and speak first, you kneel to Lao Dao like this, Lao Dao will be shy." The old Taoist priest looked down at Li Hong and said.

"Yes, I'm still kneeling, where did this come from, this is my courtyard, my Taoist temple, and the temporary residence is also mine, yes, find back your confidence, kneel down the dignity, I want to get it back." Li Hong shouted in his heart.

"Dao Chief, this is the courtyard of this official, may I ask where the Dao Chief is from?" Li Hong Zhengse said.

"Presumably, you are Li Baihu, Lord Li, the poor Tao is: Shen Xuzi Zhenren, just call me the old Taoist, it is this Taoist temple, the master, two years ago I went out to travel, and today I just returned to the Taoist temple, and there is a Taoist child to prove his identity. It wasn't early in the morning, so we talked a lot when we went into the house. Then the two of them entered the house.

"It turns out that the master of the Taoist temple has returned, so I still have to disturb here, and the kidney deficiency will last for a few days."

"Ahem, the layman is not kidney deficiency, but a deep deficiency, just call me an old way."

"Yes, I'm not kidney-deficient, I'm 。。。。。。 I'm sorry for the kidney deficiency, I'm a little distracted. ”

I'm afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet

"Old Dao, I also see that the layman is trapped by something, so it is better to count a hexagram and see how the providence of heaven is?"

"Then there is a labor chief, I don't know what I should do?" Li Hong asked.

"Just stretch out your hand, the old way can look at the palmistry, and send you three pillars of incense after the hexagram, the hexagram is not allowed to ask for money, count more and send more, do you want to count a few more hexagrams?"

The change in painting style caught him off guard, and he almost flashed Li Hong's old waist.

"Dao Chief, one hexagram is enough, I don't have much money." Li Hong took out his purse and said.

No, this old Taoist priest doesn't look like he came back from a cloud tour, this is a pit Meng abducted and came back to hide debts, do you want to send it to the official in a while, no, I, Li Hong, am an official, first look at his hexagram and say, before arresting him, you have to take the three pillars of incense back, this thing is not a stolen goods, you can't lose.

"Did you come to me passively transferred, but you came to me with the help of nobles?" Lao Dao asked precariously.

"Dao Chief, what your Dao boy told you, this bluffing trick wants me to take you to the official mansion." Li Hong pointed to his saber.

"Layman, don't panic, just make a joke, ease the atmosphere, you listen to me continue to blow, no, no, no, yes." The image of the old man has been completely broken.

"Today, your noble man showed you a way, the southwest corner of the imperial city, although it can't be rich and expensive, it is not enough to compare with the top, but it can be more than the bottom."

"You're eavesdropping on me." Li Hong leaned forward and wanted to get up.

Lao Dao Tiancang pointed to Li Hong's shoulder, pressed it down, and said: "The layman misunderstood, after listening to the old Tao, the layman is hesitating now, whether to go or not, I look at your face, it is very good to go, although it is tortuous, but it can keep you safe, and there is a fate." ”

"Serendiity? Can you elaborate on that? Li Hong asked thoughtfully.

"It's hard for a layman to be an old man, the so-called opportunity, must be given by the way of heaven, or beyond the way of heaven, everything related to the way of heaven must be blinded by the way of heaven, not mortals such as me can be involved, and the opportunity is still early, now is to take precautions, the old way of this hexagram will not charge you money for the time being, and when the opportunity comes, it is not too late to talk." Lao Dao said with a smile.

"Old man, don't tease the official, the official has a clean sleeve, but he has no money for you, I believe you once if you don't take money." Li Hong said.

"The layman misunderstood, it's not that he doesn't collect money, it's not time?"

The air was suddenly quiet, Li Hong grinned, I didn't see that I was hinting that you and I have no money, I am an official, and I dare to accept the money of Jinyiwei, for the sake of living in your Taoist temple for so long, you Taoist boy serves the official well, I don't care, anyway, I will slip away tomorrow, you can't go to Jinyiwei's yamen to ask me for money.

"Okay, Dao Chief, then the official will rest first, and when he leaves tomorrow, he won't bother Dao Chief."

Late at noon

The black night sky shot down seven purple rays of light directly on the courtyard and seven copper coins on the ground, and the old Taoist chief wrote and painted on the ground, "The old Taoist is really not wrong, the drought in the two lakes, and the vision of the sky are all related to the southwest corner of the imperial city, but now the actual arrival has not arrived, and it cannot be moved, the key point here is actually Lord Li in the Taoist temple, it seems that it is a fateful person." No wonder the hexagram made me return to the Taoist temple before. ”

The copper coin on the ground suddenly cracked, and Lao Dao's body showed a faint golden light protective body, as if he had been kicked, he took three steps back to stabilize his body, and hurriedly stepped forward to step on the exploding copper coin.

"Heavenly Opportunity Backlash, I can't count it anymore, if I count it again, I'll see Master Zu in advance."

Lao Dao turned around and left, and the copper coins on the ground were already broken and could not be broken.
