The morning market in Liuli Lane, there is a steaming scene everywhere, at this time the loudest shouting is to sell breakfast, and after rushing for nearly an hour, both of them are also a little tired, and they found an early shop to eat some early and take a little rest.

This is the ancient bazaar, the fifth highness sighed with emotion, after eating early, he walked all the way to see, and felt that everywhere revealed novelty, even the candy blowers would stop and watch for a long time. At this time, the bazaar was not like the shopping mall of later generations, full of specialty stores, countless vendors on both sides of the street, books, calligraphy and paintings, head rope flower drums, rouge gouache, mirror paper umbrellas, it was really all-encompassing, everything, but some high-end items such as gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin still had to be selected in the store.

Unconsciously, it was noon, at this time the two were still empty-handed, most of the time the five highnesses were in the stalls to look and touch, just don't buy, and were despised by a few vendors, looking like a rich boy is actually a poor ghost, at first Li Jinzhong was still interested in pointing at the side, and then when he saw which stall the fifth master was close to, he simply hid a few steps away, because he really couldn't stand those contemptuous eyes.

His Royal Highness didn't expect a man to have such a shopping potential, he really couldn't stand Li Jinzhong's complaining eyes, and his legs and feet were a little sore, so he found a restaurant to rest and eat something by the way. When the two came to a restaurant called Haiwanju, they saw that there was a lot of people inside, and business was booming, and it looked good.

The two entered the lobby and saw that the seats were full and went up to the second floor, there were only a few tables on the second floor that were not yet full, the two casually picked a table and sat down, only to see a cow-nosed Taoist priest in a greasy Taoist robe not far from the staircase speaking in an official dialect with a thick Shandong accent there to tell a story.

The Fifth Highness saw a little novelty, the Taoist priest was still the first time to tell a story in the tavern, and this storytelling was not in a crowded place on the first floor, but it was even stranger to say that there were few tables of guests on the second floor.

Xiao Er saw that the two of them were dressed well and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and His Royal Highness asked about this Taoist, it turned out that this Taoist priest was a Taoist priest of Qingyun Peak Qingyun Temple of Yunlong Mountain, although the same in Yunlong Mountain, Qingyun Temple and Yunlong Temple's incense are not the same, the Taoist priest was the hottest profession during the Jiajing period, and then it collapsed, Qingyunguan only had two Taoist priests, an old man and a special old man, and the incense of Qingyunguan could not even support these two people, the special old Taoist priest's surname was Lan Ming Daoxing, because of the attack on Yan Song during the Jiajing period, In the case of the poisoning of Lu Bingjindan under the command of Jinyi Weidu, he was framed by Yan Song, implicated in some persecution, and his body was disabled, and he is now ninety and nine. And another old Taoist priest is now the storyteller, in the early years from Shandong fled to the capital in the Qingyun Temple to settle down, and Lan Daoxing learned some skills to help the beggars occupy Luan, incense is not good, Lan Daoxing and inconvenient to move, the pressure of survival falls on this old Taoist, said to be an old Taoist, but only in his thirties, just a Taoist robe greasy and greasy, a handful of horns and messy hair, looks a little old.

This old Tao has been in the sea bowl for more than 10 years, usually the business of the Fu Ping Zhan Luan is not good, and occupies the position of the shopkeeper tavern, a few years ago he also took up the storytelling business to help the shopkeeper solicit some business, the people in the lobby on the first floor are generally not able to take out spare money to divinate and ask hexagrams, and because of their identity as a Taoist, the old Tao is on the second floor to tell the story.

The shopkeeper of Haiwanju used to be a merchant, and the emphasis is on opening four doors to make some friends, so whether it is begging for the shopkeeper will give some convenience, at the beginning of this old way is just to eat some food, and then in Haiwanju hung a stall, the shopkeeper knows the situation of Qingyunguan is also convenient.

After Xiao Er finished telling the origin of the storyteller, he also ordered a table of wine and food for the two of the Five Highnesses, and just as the guests at the table next to him left the table, Xiao Er left to greet and settle the bill.

The old Taoist priest said that no one came to tell fortunes in the morning, and at noon the Taoist priest was a little hungry, and saw that someone left the table and ended this section of the story, and sat at the table where the guests had just left the table, borrowing some leftover food, Xiao Er had already been accustomed to it, and the old Taoist priest had just come to Haiwan when Xiao Er got the shopkeeper to greet him, and he was not in a hurry to clean up, just waiting for the Taoist priest to finish eating.

The old Taoist priest sat next to Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor's grandson, His Royal Highness looked at the old Taoist priest in a daze and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and the old Taoist priest was also a little embarrassed, after all, eating other people's leftovers is not a glorious thing, but I feel that this person is a little rude, you eat your delicacies and seafood, I eat my leftovers, why bother.

The old Taoist priest was a little wronged by Zhu Youzhen, and His Royal Highness was purely worried about the world. "I don't know, would you like to come to me for some tea?"

"Childe wants to be counted?" The old Taoist priest heard that someone greeted him and started to do business, the two tables were already close, and the old Taoist was not polite, so he took advantage of the situation and did it, who would be willing to eat leftovers if he could eat some good wine and food.

"Oh? Don't know what to call long? What are you good at? Alchemy and drawing talismans, reading divination or what? Although His Royal Highness didn't believe much in these, he was also a little interested in having nothing to do.

"The poor road is Hong Xinghe, and I know a little bit about alchemy and drawing talismans, reading divination, and poor road, but I want to say that I am good at helping Luan." Lao Dao said that he picked up the fortune-telling flag, and there were really four big characters written on it: "Fu Luan Qi Ping". The old Taoist priest then said complacently, "The family teacher Qingyun Guan Lan Dao Xing, known as the Blue Fairy, has a hand of Zigu's skill of raising a trick, and the poor Tao is not talented, although he has not reached the realm of the family teacher, but he has also learned eighty or ninety." ”

A table of wine and food has been served, Zhu Youzhen and Li Jinzhong have not moved, the old Taoist Hong Xinghe as a guest is naturally not good to move first, but the hungry stomach is really a little unlucky, the fifth highness saw the old Taoist staring at the wine and food, but pretending to be a fairy and a little funny.

"Since the Taoist chief has this magical power, why did I hear that the Taoist chief has calculated the deeds of a man who is pregnant with a woman and is promoted?" Li Jinzhong couldn't stand it anymore, this old way is too good to blow.

Lao Dao glanced at Xiao Er dissatisfied, it must have been this guy who said it with a big mouth, Xiao Er shrank his head weakly, since the old bottom was revealed, the old Taoist Hong Xinghe no longer held it, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the wine glass and said to Zhu Youzhen and Li Jinzhong, "The two donors eat quickly, it's not delicious if it's cold." Then they ate and drank on their own.

His Royal Highness the Fifth smiled and didn't care, he was originally here to eat and rest, Lao Dao was just a chance encounter, whether it would be counted, whether it was calculated or not, it was just some adjustments, and it didn't hurt and didn't affect the mood to eat and drink.

His Royal Highness and Li Jinzhong were soon finished eating and drinking tea, and the old Taoist priest was still stuffing it into his mouth, it seemed that he was really hungry, and the two of them were not in a hurry, waiting for the old Taoist to eat and drink enough to greet Xiao Er to settle the bill.

After eating, the old Taoist priest wiped the oil on his mouth and said, "The poor Taoist is not in vain to eat the banquet of the two, so he will help the two of them to make a gesture as a reward." ”

The Fifth Highness looked at the old Taoist style and knew that this was just a warlock who was fooling around for a living, and there was no need to take it seriously, so he shirked and said, "Then please ask the Taoist chief to calculate for me when the people of this world will be able to live and work in peace and contentment?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Lao Dao carefully looked at the boy sitting next to him from top to bottom, walking the rivers and lakes to abduct and deceive Hong Xinghe by a pair of eyes, I saw that this son was dressed extraordinarily, and the neckline was embroidered with a few bushes of gold thread, indicating that this person was not only rich but also expensive, and a touch of bright yellow could be faintly seen from his cuffs, so he had a plan in his heart, and dared to wear bright yellow satin with gold thread, and the people who asked the world were born in the world, with this age, Hong Xinghe already had a bottom on the identity of this son, "I don't know what the donor is called?" ”

"This is my fifth master, and the bull's nose is called the fifth master." Li Jinzhong hurriedly answered, afraid that His Royal Highness would leak his identity, because he heard the bottom of the old way and saw the old way, Li Jinzhong owed no respect for this Hong Xinghe.

"The fifth master's hexagram is too big, and the poor road can't be calculated." Hong Xinghe got up and said with great regret, "It's better for Poor Dao to meet the son first, if what he said is right, how about Poor Dao regain his son?" ”

"What the Taoist chief said is reasonable, then please trouble the Taoist to talk about it." The Fifth Highness did not shirk.

Hong Xinghe pretended to look at Zhu Youzhen's face, and said excitedly, "It's unspeakably expensive, it's unspeakably expensive!" ”

His Royal Highness didn't say anything, but Li Jinzhong was a little surprised, could it be that this bull-nosed old Tao really has some Taoism? Then he asked, "What is your method?" ”

Lao Dao picked up the sand table and put it on the table, stretched out his index finger and wrote three words on the sand table, "City within a city", and then said mysteriously, "Childe is from here?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and didn't speak, but Li Jinzhong was surprised, put away his contempt for the old Tao, and asked puzzledly: "Since the Taoist chief can pinch the account, why would he make a joke about a man pregnant and a woman being promoted?" ”

"Heaven must not be divulged." Hong Xinghe stroked his beard and picked it up again, "Poor Dao used to start with ten taels of silver, but now the market is not good, and Poor Dao has a fate with the two, and the two have to invite each other, and Poor Dao will give one of the two for free, and the other only charges five taels of silver?" ”

Li Jinzhong didn't enter the palace before he was in the casino, to say that he was very good at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but he was not very familiar with the tricks of these warlocks, so he was already convinced by this old Taoist god, so he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and said, "The old Taoist priest will start a game for the master first, and it is not accurate that the master has received your signboard, and the silver ticket is your reward." But if you dare to deceive my fifth master, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. ”

His Royal Highness didn't want to entangle with this Taoist priest, so he invited him to have a meal and make some good karma.

Although I have never been out of the palace in this life and have never seen much of the world, I have seen a lot in my previous life, and the old way is where to look at what faces, that is, to look at how I dress and behave, and I guess it by a servant who looks like a eunuch next to me.

"I wonder what this donor wants to ask?" Lao Dao set up the props and asked Li Jinzhongdao.

"I want to ask ......"

"Don't say anything, write it down, and it won't work if you say it." The old Taoist priest stopped Li Jinzhong from continuing, and took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms.

Li Jinzhong took the talisman paper and the cinnabar-stained pen given by Lao Dao, covered it with the sleeves of his robe and wrote down the matters to be asked, folded a few folds and returned it to Hong Xinghe.

The old Taoist priest took the rune paper robe and shook his sleeves, made a handprint, held the rune paper in his right hand and interacted with his left hand for a few circles, and then poked in front of Li Jinzhong, and with a hula rune paper spontaneously combusted without fire.

Not only Li Jinzhong, but also the diners on the second floor were also surprised, and they all came over to take a look. Then I saw the old Taoist Hong Xinghe shaking his head as if he had sheep madness, and his already somewhat messy hair was even more spread out, the old Taoist priest covered his face with the sleeves of his robe, his hair was scattered, and there were words in his mouth, just like Zigu possessed.

I saw the old Taoist priest probed forward with his hands, leaking out his head and face, but saw that his eyes were white and black, and the pen suddenly stood up on the sand table without warning, as the old Taoist hands waved in the air, no one held the pen, but it seemed that someone held the pen to control the general, only to see the pen on the sand table written on the "loyalty" four big characters, four characters into the square, the old Taoist seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed on the table, and the pen also fell.

Li Jinzhong's own cultural level is not very high, although he knows these four words, and he has a vague general concept in his heart, he still doesn't dare to confirm it, and he still asks the old Taoist priest to come up and explain. But this old Taoist priest now doesn't know what to do, but Li Jinzhong is in a hurry, Li Jinzhong shook the old Taoist a few times and didn't respond, so he simply poured a cup of tea on his head and face, and the old Taoist woke up excitedly, and said in his heart that it was okay that it was not boiling water.

The last paralysis of the old Taoist Hong Xinghe is a play in itself, although he has been poured tea, he still has to play it completely, he seems to be a little tired and wakes up, and asks, "What the donor asks for has a result?" ”

"The result is there, but what do these words mean?"

"Is the main poverty solution here? Poor Dao still advises the donor to go back and slowly come to his senses. These words are not difficult to understand, Li Jinzhong's rune paper is asking for a future, and it is really not good to explain it thoroughly in front of the five highnesses written on the sand table, and the old Tao also grasped this point to make an article, Li Jinzhong said that it is not accurate, but the rune paper is directly burned to Zigu God, and the words on the sand table should not be fake.

"Then listen to the Tao, there is a Tao that cannot be easily revealed, I better go back and slowly enlighten." Li Jinzhong is ready to go back and find someone to unsign.

"Since this benefactor is no different from the result, let the poor Dao rest for a while and then make a fool of the fifth master." The first level has passed, and Lao Dao is ready to earn the one hundred taels of silver tickets, which is enough for the two masters and apprentices of Qingyunguan to eat for a year, and even some of the decaying walls can be repaired.

The Fifth Highness waved his hand, approached the old Taoist priest and said softly, "The three immortals return to the cave, the white phosphorus spontaneously combusts, the hanging wire rises, and the Taoist chief has a good technique." ”

Listening to this young master's words, the old Taoist priest Hong Xinghe was immediately embarrassed, it turned out that his tricks to fool people were seen through, this is still the first time he has walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, "Fifth master, you always raise your noble hand, Xiaodao relies on these to make some livelihood, don't expose it to us." Hong Xinghe begged Zhu Youzhen softly, then pushed the silver ticket in front of Li Jinzhong, and said, "How can Poor Dao receive money after receiving the favor of the two masters, the donor quickly put away this yellow and white thing, otherwise it will alienate our fate in vain." ”

Li Jinzhong didn't understand why the Taoist priest who had seen the silver ticket before suddenly changed his sex, "How can there be a reason to take back the things that the master took out, the Taoist chief quickly made a move for the fifth master of my family." ”

Hong Xinghe looked at Zhu Youzhen with some grievances, and said in his heart, you can do it if you are old, let me make a fool, Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to it, stood up and prepared to leave.

Hong Xinghe suddenly remembered the words of the master Lan Daoxing when he went out in the morning, Lan Daoxing is nearly 100 years old, and Hong Xinghe will help him once when he goes out every day, and when he goes out today, Lan Daoxing also played a trick and handed over the hexagram to Hong Xinghe, and at the same time specially explained that if Hong Xinghe meets a noble person today, he will show it with this hexagram, and he can't say much, Hong Xinghe doesn't know what the master's hexagram means, and he can't say more if he wants to, but now he hasn't met the person who the master said is expensive?

Seeing that this noble man was leaving, Hong Xinghe hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Fifth Master, wait a moment." After speaking, he picked up the pen, closed his eyes, and wrote on the sand table.

Zhu Youzhen looked back at him, the old Taoist priest didn't pretend to be a ghost this time, didn't ask what people wanted, didn't light a fire to burn paper, and didn't have Zigu possessed, not even a hanging wire, just closed his eyes and wrote a three-character hexagram calmly, but it was these three words that made Zhu Youzhen shocked, because there were three words written on the sand table "Tianmen Cave".

Seeing that the fifth master's expression was wrong, Hong Xinghe didn't know what the master's three-character hexagram meant, so he had to apologize and said, "Fifth master, forgive me, Xiaodao only has these three-character hexagrams, what does it mean, Xiaodao can't understand it." ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was pale at this time, his palms were already sweating, he held the Taoist priest's hand tightly, and asked with an unkind face, "Daoist chief really doesn't know what this hexagram means?" ”

Hong Xinghe's hand was pinched by Zhu Youzhen, and his eyes were even more hairy from this teenage boy's brother, and his eyes flickered unconsciously, avoiding Zhu Youzhen's gaze, "I don't know, I don't know, Xiaodao really doesn't know." ”

"Is the Taoist deceitful? I know that if I want to, your Qingyun Temple can reproduce the glory of Jiajingye's time, or it may disappear at any time. Zhu Youzhen didn't have much patience at this time, he was close to warning this Taoist priest, even Li Jinzhong was taken aback by Zhu Youzhen's look, he was fine just now, why did he suddenly look like a different person.

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Hong Xinghe felt miserable in his heart, if he didn't answer well, this young master really didn't know whether he was a noble or a wicked person, "Back to the fifth master, the small path cultivation is shallow and really can't be solved, if the fifth master is empty, he can come to my Qingyunguan one day and ask my master to explain the hexagram for the fifth master." ”

"Please convey to the Taoist Chief, and if you have the opportunity to go to Qingyun Temple in the future, you will definitely go to the Blue Immortal to consult." Zhu Youzhen can't see the depth of Hong Xinghe now, sometimes stupid, sometimes profound, it is a miracle that he can come to this era, and what is absolutely impossible in this world, from the time he saw the words "Tianmen Cave", His Royal Highness had doubts about his worldview all along.

Zhu Youzhen took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and put them on the table, hugged Hong Xinghe and said, "Some silver and two Taoist chiefs are kept for tea, and Wangdao Chang has reservations when he tells stories in the future." After speaking, he turned around and went downstairs, and Li Jinzhong followed a little inexplicably.
