Chapter 42: The King Views the Lord

Xu Si looked at the exquisite carvings on the blue bricks of the corridor, and couldn't help but feel a lot, once upon a time, the exquisite brick carvings in the old house of the Xu family did not go down to the temple at all, it is said that a photo wall of the old house took two bricklayers to complete in three months! There is a lot of labor, and the essence of the carving can be seen, but because of an unknown fire, everything is burned quietly, and everything is returned to dust. From then on, the towering carved eaves, the exquisite gatehouse, the delicate wood carvings on the doors and windows, everything can only be reproduced in occasional dreams. And can this magnificent and exquisite building in front of you ensure that future generations can see it?

The little Taoist priest led Xu Siqi to a very special small house, the reason why it is special is because surrounded by many brick houses with eaves and tiles, suddenly appeared a grass hut is very abrupt, the grass hut is all made of turquoise wild grass, the door frame and door are made of wood, and the door is randomly chiseled with a chisel A few holes of different sizes are indecent.

The little Taoist priest turned around and saluted again: "Fellow Daoist, wait a minute, I'll go in and say hello to the master." After speaking, he turned around and gently pushed open the wooden door, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaodao came out and saluted Xu Si again: "Lord Guan, please come in." ”

Xu Si walked to the door, there was no window on the wall of the thatched hut, through the light of the door, you could see a black robe, pale and white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on a futon, he sat there motionless, his eyes were closed, there was no trace of guilt on his face, like a skinny skeleton, and like a dead wood, lifeless pestle there, a white whisk was held in his right hand without a trace of flesh, gently on his left arm, and the white dust was just like his full head of silver hair hanging softly on his legs.

Xu Si walked into the house, the door behind him was gently closed by the little Taoist, and the room immediately became dark, only the door holes of different sizes scattered into a ray of white light, making the things in the room faintly visible, he turned around and wanted to open the door, but heard an old voice say: "Is it difficult for Taoist friends to be afraid of the dark?" ”

Xu Si turned his head, and there were two bright spots faintly flashing in the dark, but it was the eyes of the viewer who opened their eyes, flashing a faint light in the darkness. Xu Si turned around and looked at him, "Don't you want to sit down?" The two points of light flashed, and Xu Si casually found a futon to sit down, "Daoist friends have a big picture!" The viewer on the other side sighed and said.

Xu Si's heart was shocked, and he asked, "Why does the Taoist know why I'm here?" “

"You are naturally here to find fate." The viewer said slowly,

"The Taoist is wrong, I'm not looking for fate, I'm here to ask about things." Xu Si was a little unhappy, the old Tao in front of him actually put up a score in front of him!

"Daoyou is wrong, everything has a cause, and then there is fate, and now that Daoyou has obtained the cause, how can you not come to find fate?" Xu Si couldn't answer what he said in one sentence, yes, if Du Liu agreed with himself about the cause, then he came here today to find the natural fate.

"I wonder if this can be done?" Xu Si said to the Lord, "Nature can be done!" Lao Dao replied without hesitation,

"Can it be done?" Xu Si asked suspiciously. "Naturally, Taoist friends occupy the sky, the place is favorable, and the people are together." The voice of the Lord is as calm as water: "This matter will be a success, but there is a sentence I also want to advise Taoist friends, life is like a dream, flowers bloom and fall, gain and lose, do not take it to heart, you must know that there is a certain number in the dark, do not force it, otherwise in the end it will be cold and bitter, and it will be too late to regret!" ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Si was a little confused by the words of the old way, "Don't ask what you mean, just be careful in the future." The contemplator paused for a moment, and continued slowly, "Since your fate has found the result, you can go." ”

Xu Si took out a piece of silver dollar from his bosom and put it on the ground in front of Lao Dao, and pleaded: "I will ...... tomorrow" Before he finished speaking, he called Lao Dao and said: "Yes!" Tomorrow I can help you convince them, but I also have a reluctant request. "What?" Xu Si asked. No wonder this old man was a little hesitant to speak, it turned out that he wanted to do something by himself.

"If, I mean if." The eyes of the Guan Zhu were shining in the dark, "If the Taoist friend has great power in his hands one day, and this temple is in danger, can the Taoist friend say a word for this land?" Xu Si was stunned for a moment when asked, where is this? How could this temple be in danger? Troubled times? Could there be a more chaotic world than this?

"Then take a step back," the contemplator saw that Xu Si did not speak for a long time, and then continued: "Can Daoist friends save the lives of more than 30 people in my contemplation?" "You mean the Japanese will kill them?" Xu Si asked cautiously, and the viewer shook his head and said: "The Japanese will not kill them, but this day is about to change, the Buddha will not be the Buddha, and the Tao will not be the Tao!" Everybody will be involved, but you're the only one! ”

Xu Si was even more confused, he originally wanted to find this Wang Taoist priest just to spend money to let him accompany him to play a play, but he didn't expect to be confused, if he didn't want to play that play well, Xu Si would have kicked the door open and left directly.

"Can you agree to the poor Dao?" The viewer paused for a moment and then said: "Daoists don't have to worry about their livelihood in the future, just say a word and let them go, and the rest don't need to worry about Daoists." "Anyway, no one can see through what the future will bring, so what's the point of promising him?

Xu Si nodded and said, "Okay!" I promise you, no matter what time it is, I will not embarrass the disciples in the temple. After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and then asked, "Do you want to swear?" "No," said the viewer, shaking his head, "I believe you." ”

In the end, after Xu Si and Daoist Wang, that is, the master of the temple agreed to perform the next day, and followed the young Taoist priest out of the temple, the young Taoist priest handed over a small cloth bag, and said again: "This is the master of the audience for me to give you, and I hope you don't refuse." Poor road breeze, in the future, Taoist friends can come to me if they have something. ”

Xu Si looked at the small cloth bag in his hand, although it was not too big, it was heavy, and it was soft when he pinched it lightly with his hand, what was in it? When he was about to ask Qingfeng Daoist, he saw that he had closed the door tightly, Xu Si couldn't help laughing, and returned home with a small cloth bag against the hot sun.

As soon as he entered the door, he first put a scoop of cold water on himself, and then went outside to pee, and after a urine war, his body got a layer of goosebumps, which was comfortably tight, but he was immediately wrapped in heat.

He walked into the house and opened the small bag that Qingfeng had given him, and when the bag was untied, a cloth bag was revealed, and then after opening the layers of cloth bags, three yellow gold bars were revealed inside! Xu Si's hand shook, and the gold bars fell to the ground, he hurriedly picked them up, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and gently bit them with his teeth to confirm that they were gold bars!

What does that royal Taoist mean? Why give this to yourself? What is he trying to express? And that Yu Hu, who can take out a gold bracelet at will but insists on joining the gang to rob the Japanese's things, for what?
