Chapter 916: Desperate
Chu Huan turned his head and saw a Taoist priest holding a hexagram banner walking towards him.
He had a cloth bag hanging on his shoulder, he was wearing a gossip robe, the hexagram banner in his hand had been rolled up, and he was smiling and coming over here, Chu Huan looked at it a few times, and immediately recognized it as Hongyu Dao Chief.
Hongyu Daoist is Chu Huan's acquaintance, the two met in the house where Chu Huan's eldest brother Pei Ji knew, and the exit was shocking, at this time, Hongyu Daoist had already come over, Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "Daoist is good!" ”
Hongyu Dao Chang smiled: "Lord Chu, is this a private visit from Weifu?" ”
Chu Huan looked down at his clothes and said with a smile: "Chu can't go shopping in an official robe, right?" He knew that Daoist Hongyu had a hexagram stall in Sanyuanfang, and it was not strange to meet him here.
Daoist Hongyu smiled slightly, stared at Chu Huan's face, frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Chu, your complexion seems to be very bad?" ”
Chu Huan raised his hand and touched his face, and said with a wry smile: "I haven't looked very good lately?" ”
Daoist Hongyu shook his head and said: "Lord Chu, you didn't hear the meaning of the poor Dao, the poor Dao looks at the bad luck between your eyebrows, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster!" ”
Chu Huan was stunned, he was very familiar with this sentence, but any fortune teller, to arouse people's interest, always have to be alarmist, to attract the attention of others, if he is a Taoist priest he doesn't know, Chu Huan will ignore it at most, just ignore it, just ignore it, but this Hongyu Daoist said, Chu Huan is not good at showing suspicion, just smiled and said: "Chu's luck has not been very good, and the disaster of blood and light may not be nothing." ”
Hongyu Dao Chang leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "Poor Dao said a long time ago, your life is against the way of heaven, if you hide early, you may be able to live peacefully, but you don't have the heart to retreat, on this way, blood and light are always accompanied." "Stroke your beard," it's just that Lord Chu's eyebrows are too heavy, and the catastrophe is coming...... He sighed.
Chu Huan said helplessly: "Does the Dao Chief have a way to crack it?" ”
"Lord Chu, you still owe me a drink." Hongyu Dao changed his words and said with a smile: "Last time, Lord Chu said that he didn't bring wine money with him, but this time I don't know ......!" ”
Chu Huan touched his nose, looked around, and said, "The restaurant seems to be closed, oh, there is a music shop in front, there must be wine in it, but the Taoist monk is a family, and I don't know if it's inconvenient!" ”
Hongyu Dao Chang said with a smile: "Poor Dao doesn't care about gossip, but the drinking picture is clean, the wine shop is too noisy, if Lord Chu is free, it is better to go to the cold house and sit down!" ”
"Oh?" Chu Huan asked, "Where is the noble residence of the Dao Chief?" ”
"A monk has no noble home." Hongyu Daoist laughed, "Next to Sanyuanfang is Jishan Fang, which is not as prosperous and lively as here, but the road is not far, and you can just walk away." ”
Chu Huan nodded with a smile, and the two walked towards Jishanfang, Chu Huan asked: "By the way, the Taoist is clever, I remember the last time we met, Chu had a friend who seemed to be looking for the Taoist to tell the hexagram?" ”
"Friends?" Hongyu Dao Chang stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Chu, that lady...... Well, she should be called a girl, her appearance is extraordinary. ”
Chu Huan was stunned, and Daoist Hongyu had already smiled and said: "Poor Dao is also a person who is almost fifty years old, how many mountains and rivers have he walked, and how many worldly beings he has seen, can't a girl disguise herself as a man?" ”
The friend Chu Huan said naturally refers to Mrs. Liuli, after the disappearance of the little princess, Mrs. Liuli has been worried, and she even came to ask for a hexagram before, wondering if the little princess is safe.
Chu Huan could only smile, and then felt that Daoist Hongyu was speaking a little strangely, and asked, "Why does Daoist call her a girl?" She's not young. ”
Daoist Hongyu smiled: "Lord Chu should understand better than Poor Dao. "Laugh without saying a word.
Of course, Chu Huan is not a stupid person, his heart suddenly understood, and he was a little surprised, secretly thinking that Mrs. Liuli was the person next to the prince, he had seen it before, the prince and Mrs. Liuli's daring seemed to be very good, but the words of Hongyu Dao Chang seemed to mean that Mrs. Liuli was still a virgin, which made Chu Huan feel a little unbelievable.
Mrs. Liuli is beautiful and fragrant, whether it is her appearance or temperament, she is unparalleled in the world, she is like a pure pearl of the night, although she looks clean, but she is full of radiance, and the natural appearance of the stunning style can make any man feel ape, Chu Huan didn't even dare to deny that he had a heart for Mrs. Liuli.
Such a beautiful woman is already the prince's concubine, but she is perfect, which makes Chu Huan really can't believe it, could it be that the prince is more than just a pair of legs?
Chu Huan was surprised, but Daoist Hongyu had already asked as he walked, "Lord Chu, why did you mention that friend of yours?" ”
"Oh, she asked you to tell a fortune before, for a person." Chu Huan asked, "The Taoist is clever, can he calculate the safety of that person now?" ”
After the disappearance of the little princess, the emperor sent the Shenyi guard to search secretly, but there has been no whereabouts, this matter, the palace is also forbidden to publicize it, Chu Huan is often worried about the current situation of the little princess, it stands to reason that no one should have the ability to enter the palace and arrest the little princess, the little princess is missing, it is very likely that she herself ran away alone because she wanted to avoid the marriage with Xiliang, but where the little girl is now, it is very worrying.
Hongyu Daoist said with a smile: "Yin and Yang Qiankun, it is already mysterious, there are some mysteries, it is a heavenly machine, you can't say it, say it, and if you break the heavenly machine, it won't work." ”
Chu Huan didn't like this kind of unfathomable and profound mystery, and he was helpless.
On the way, he saw a shop that was about to close, Chu Huan went over to sell two catties of good wine, selling cooked vegetables here, Chu Huan bought two catties of cooked meat, and saw that Hongyu Daoist was a monk, and he didn't know if he could eat meat at that time, so he immediately bought some peanuts, he knew that this was a fortune-telling for people, and he didn't necessarily have a lot of money on hand, although he went to Hongyu Daochang's house as a guest, but Chu Huan came to do the east himself.
Hongyu Daoist didn't say much, bought good things, walked for a while, arrived at a secluded alley, came to a small courtyard, the courtyard door was dilapidated, not locked, push the door in, it was a very narrow courtyard, the yard was empty, it looked very clean, the so-called clean, that is, there was nothing to see, it seemed very poor.
Hongyu Daoist entered the house and lit the lamp, and invited Chu Huan in, it was also very simple, there were two small chairs on the edge of a shabby small table, Hongyu Daoist hung up the cloth bag, and then sat down opposite Chu Huan, and said with a smile: "Lord Chu, you have a noble status, and you have condescended to this, you are really wronged." ”
Chu Huan liked the quietness here, and said with a smile: "The mountain is not high, if there is a fairy, it is famous, the water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it is spiritual." There is a living immortal who lives here, just like if it is a fairy palace in the world, not only can he not talk about grievances, but Chu Mou disturbed him. ”
Hongyu Daoist laughed and said: "The mountain is not high, if there is an immortal, the name is not deep, if there is a dragon, there is a spirit, Lord Chu said it well, Pei Ji is such an arrogant guy." It is really no accident that he can be a brother with Lord Chu. ”
Chu Huan said gloomily: "Has the Daoist ever had news of Brother Pei?" ”
"Pei Ji?" Hongyu Dao Chang Qi said: "Lord Chu, has there been no news of Pei Ji?" After a pause, he said: "When he left the capital, he didn't tell Poor Dao, and Poor Dao later learned that he was no longer in the capital. ”
Chu Huan sighed lightly: "It has been more than a year since he left the capital, and I have never heard from him. ”
Hongyu Daoist smiled: "You don't have to worry about him, although Pei Ji is lame, but a hundred warriors may not be his opponents, he relies on his brains, this heaven is also fair, lame his leg, but gave him a wisdom ...... that ordinary people can't match!" He took the initiative to take the bowl and pour the wine, opened the food wrapped in oil paper, and said with a smile: "Come on, Lord Chu, let's have a few drinks this time." ”
The two drank it all, Chu Huan put down the wine bowl, and then said, "Is the Daoist's business good?" ”
Daoist Hongyu said helplessly: "Lord Chu can naturally see that if the business is good, he will not be like this. It's just a bowl of rice. In the past, when the lame man was there, he could often go to his place to eat, but now there is no place to mix rice. ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "The Taoist is clever and clever, how can he have no business?" ”
"Business was not good in the past because there were too many fortune tellers in the capital." Hongyu Dao said: "Now the business is not good, because everyone is wary of our Taoists, Tianmen Dao is in trouble, as if the Taoist priests in the world are anti-thieves, even our street Taoists who tell hexagrams and eat rice do not have a peaceful birthday, three days and two ends of the official sent to ask the east and west, you said that a Taoist priest who told the hexagram was interrogated by the errand for three days, others saw it, and thought that something had happened, and who would come to you to tell the hexagram?" ”
Chu Huan frowned and said, "Is the investigation so strict now?" ”
"Lord Chu should be clearer than the poor Dao." Hongyu Daoist said with a wry smile: "Although the Heavenly Master Dao and the Heavenly Gate Dao are separated by one word, but the black and white are clear, but now, in addition to those Heavenly Master Daoists who serve the emperor's alchemy and cultivation, all the Taoist priests outside the palace gate are the objects of suspicion of the government, several Taoist temples in the capital have been closed, and the Taoists have been ordered not to go out of the Taoist temple. ”
"Since business is not good, why doesn't the Taoist find something else?"
"I'm nearly half a hundred years old, and I can't do anything else except I know some ways of Xuanmen." Hongyu Taoist drank half a sip of wine, "The shoulders can't pick up the back and can't carry, if it was in the past, it really can't be, find a Taoist temple to register, although it is not free, but it will not starve to death, but now each Taoist temple is more nervous than the other, the Taoist disciples are still vulgar, the Taoist temple can't ask for it, there are fellow Taoist registrations, and it is too late to catch up at that time." He shook his head and sighed: "I have been a divination for more than ten years, and I don't know how many people's lives have been calculated, but I have counted thousands of people, but I can't calculate what will happen to me in the future...... You can count people but not your own ......! He let out a long sigh, full of sighs.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "The Taoist chief said that human destiny is predestined, in fact, since the fate is destined, even if you know it, what can you do?" ”
Hongyu Dao Chang smiled: "Aren't you, Lord Chu, a person who wants to change his life against the sky?" Ordinary people may not be able to change their destiny, but the fate of your Lord Chu is a fate! ”
