It's the worst of times, it's the best of times.

The former is for the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of the People's Republic of China 170 years ago, they have never been so tormented and sad; The latter is for the Taoist priests of the Ming Dynasty, and in the 170 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been such a glory...... Emperor Jiajing was so obsessed with immortality and so fond of Taoist priests that he rewarded almost everything he could give to the disciples of the Sanqing Dynasty. The Taoist priests have received more grace than even the sum of the previous 170 years, and they have established two generations of heavenly masters, Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen.

The first Taoist priest of the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain, Shao Yuanjie, was named a heavenly master, awarded the title of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ordered the general leader of Taoism, gave purple clothes and jade belts, sealed his wife and son, and his parents were honored. Now a fellow disciple Tao Zhongwen, who has succeeded him, has been given a quality service because of his repeated great achievements, and he has been awarded the title of young master and young master and young master, and his glory has reached the apex of the ministers.

The power of role models is endless, and under the attraction of two successful people, countless people dream of becoming Taoist priests, already Taoist priests, and dreaming of becoming the third heavenly master. So countless people crowded in front of the doors of Taoist temples in various places, asking to take care of the door walls and engage in the very promising profession of Taoist priests; Countless Taoist priests left their Taoist temples and gathered in Yanjing from various provinces to ask Tao Tianshi to take care of the door wall and become the successor of the Heavenly Master...... One.

And our Lan Daoxing, with the dream of succeeding Tao Zhongwen, went to the capital from his hometown in Shandong, but when he arrived in Yanjing, he realized that the water in this pool was too deep, there were too many capable people here, and any Taoist priest would have several spells...... The apprentice's magic eye, let alone worship his old man as a teacher, he can't even be his apprentice.

In desperation, he came up with a way to save the country, ready to ascend to the throne through Tao Zhongwen's descendants, and after some painstaking investigation, he finally found out that Tao Tianshi's only grandson, who had been sleeping in Liuyu Hutong for a long time...... "So, I came, and I met him smoothly." Lan Daoxing said gloomily: "At first, he heard that I wanted to mess with him, and he was very happy, until he was ready to try my skills......

"Ah...... You must have missed, right? Zhu Shisan said with a smile.

"How is that possible?" Lan Daoxing blew his beard and glared: "I have been debuting for twenty years, and I have asked God thousands of times, and I have never missed once, and that time was no exception." ”

"Why is that?" Shen Mo smiled: "There is a follower with such an accurate prediction, he should be very willing." ”

"The problem is that it's too accurate!" Lan Daoxing looked at the side, there was no one else, and then he lowered his voice and said: "I tested that kid's unspeakable secret, and he turned his face against me at that time." ”

"What's so hard to say?" Shen Mo asked knowingly.

"That's the ......," Lan Daoxing said, stretching out his index finger, first straightening, then bending.

After pouring out his thoughts, Lan Daoxing was also full of food and drink, patted his belly and said, "Come on, for the sake of your face of inviting me to dinner and listening to me pour bitter water, I will give you each a free slap, right?" This is a big reward for tears, in Shandong, but forty taels of silver once. As he spoke, he took out a portable sand table pen from his back, showing his professional demeanor.

Shen Mo also wanted to see if he was really capable, so he said to Zhu Shisan: "Brother Thirteen, you try it first." ”

Zhu Shisan smiled: "Medium." What can you ask? ”

"Family affairs, state affairs, big and small things, you can ask." Lan Daoxing said with a smile.

Zhu Shisan scratched his head and thought for a while: "Then I'll ask, my ......"

But Lan Daoxing waved his hand to stop him and said: "Don't say it, if you say it, you won't be able to show my ability." ”

Now the appetite of the two people was raised, because the general beggar boy demanded that the begger first say the question he was going to ask or write it down on a piece of paper, and then the beggar boy would ask the gods according to the sugger's question, record it, and answer it.

But this Lan Daoxing didn't even ask what the other party wanted, which was obviously more advanced, and it made people believe that he was really connected with ghosts and gods. I saw him take out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, hand it to Zhu Shisan, and said, "Write down your question, fold it, and don't let the second person see it, otherwise it won't work." ”

Zhu Shisan wrote according to his words, folded the yellow paper into a square, and handed it back to him. Seeing that Lan Daoxing didn't look at it, he flicked his finger closely, and the paper burned and burned into ashes in a blink of an eye.

"I have already sent your question to the Purple Girl, now I will ask her to answer it!" Lan Daoxing said with a big red flower in his ear, and said to the north: "If the son-in-law is not there, Aunt Cao will also return, and the sister-in-law can come out!" "The voice is close and far, extremely Shinto.

The two of them stared at him with wide eyes, only to see that after a while, Lan Daoxing covered his face with the sleeves of his wide robe, and trembled like chaff all over his body, looking like he was indeed possessed by something.

Just when the attention of the two was attracted by Lan Daoxing's crazy appearance, the pen that was quietly resting on the sand table suddenly jumped up without warning, and the pen on the sand table was so startled that the eyes of the two almost fell.

I saw that the sand table gradually wrote 'not in Ding Si, then in Wuwu' a crooked font, Zhu Shisan was very excited to see it, and he knelt down and kowtowed, and thanked him repeatedly.

When he got up again, Zhu Shisan looked at Lan Daoxing's gaze, and he was full of awe, and said to Shen Mo: "Brother, you also ask if you can still get to the top this year." Shen Mo was also nervous, and he swallowed and foamed: "Forget it, it's in vain." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lan Daoxing's arm was put down, and he lay on the table softly, as if he had fainted. Zhu Shisan took a bowl of realgar wine, put it in his mouth, and squirted it on Lan Daoxing's face before waking him up.

Raising his head with dull eyes, Lan Daoxing muttered, "Where am I?" Sure enough, it is a question that must be asked when waking up from a coma.

"Blue Fairy, you are in Yuebin Building......" Zhu Shisan wiped his face with a towel and said, "I just helped the villain......

"Oh......" Lan Daoxing nodded slowly, "I remember, what are you asking?" What did Zigu say? ”

"I'm not in my thirties and don't have a son, so I asked my son." Zhu Shisan said happily: "Niangniang replied, saying that it was either this year or next year." Then he took out the silver bag from his bosom, offered it with both hands, and said: "This money will be given to Mr. to replenish his body first, and after my son is born, there will be another big gift." ”

"It's not that I said you, it's too polite......" Lan Daoxing stretched out his hand to take it, but when he saw the silent eyes that seemed to be smiling, he couldn't help but shudder, and said: "I said that I gave it away for nothing, what did I do with the money." ”

"Gotta give it." Zhu Shisan insisted, Lan Daoxing insisted on not to, just pushing each other like this, the scene was very touching. Shen Mo smiled and said, "The thirteenth brother is not short of this money, Lan Dao Chang will take it." ”

Lan Daoxing accepted it with a weak heart: "Then even if you borrow it, I will return it when I have developed several times." Then the two of them called each other brothers, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so they were not happy, only Shen Mo did not drink much or talk much, as if they were thinking about something.

After a while, it was dark, Lan Daoxing pushed the cup and said goodbye, Zhu Shisan couldn't keep it, so he had to go downstairs together. Taking advantage of Zhu Shisan's efforts to meet the accounts, he smiled silently and said to Lan Dao: "What a quick move." ”

Lan Daoxing was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Mo looked around at no one, and whispered: "As soon as the piece of paper he wrote arrived in your hand, it was dropped by you." In fact, you burned a blank piece of yellow paper, and then pretended to be possessed by a ghost, blocking our vision with your sleeve, peeking at the words written on that piece of paper, and pulling the transparent silk threads on your hands according to the question......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lan Daoxing, who was embarrassed, sneered and said, "You are always good, I just eat with a mouthful, don't expose me." "It's an admission in disguise.

Shen Mo chuckled: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will still wait for you here, and if you come, I will not expose you." ”

"Is there something wrong?" Lan Daoxing was slightly surprised, "Why don't you just say it now?" ”

"I have a little thing to ask you, and I don't want to stop at the moment. We'll talk about it tomorrow afternoon. You must come, or I will spread the whole city to you, saying that your Blue Immortal is a fake immortal. Shen Mo smiled maliciously: "So I won't see you or leave." ”

Seeing him tell him like this, and pinched his handle, Lan Daoxing could only agree, and then Zhu Shisan came out of it, and the two sides parted ways, saying goodbye.

On the way back, Shen Mo said to Zhu Shisan: "Don't go back first, let's go to Youpeng Inn, and I'll go and sample things." ”

"What's that?" Zhu Shisan said curiously.

"Confidentiality." Shen Mo patted his arm and said, "An, I'll know tomorrow." ”

"Cut, rare." Zhu Shisan pouted.

"But I said Brother Thirteen," Shen Mo whispered: "If you want to be happy with your son, you have to work hard, otherwise Zigu's words will not be accurate." ”

"Well, I see." Zhu 13 aspired: "How can there be an autumn harvest without spring ploughing?" Even if it is widely sown and harvested, there is a harvest! ”
