Izuryu is a city where the modern city is closely integrated with the natural landscape, so although the temple is built on a small hill, it is actually still in the city, and luckily the temple is not far from their route home, just a little detour.

The name of the hill is Baofu Mountain, in the earliest times because it looks like a burden, it was named Burden Mountain, and then there is a Taoist Taoist priest of Lingxiao Pavilion who took a fancy to the feng shui of Burden Mountain, and set up a temple here, named Baoyuan Temple. Baggage Mountain was later called Baofu Mountain. Speaking of the temple here, it is called Baofu Mountain Baoyuan Temple. The current temple is called Guizhenzi, also called Guizhen Taoist, this Guizhen Taoist is different from his dead master Guangyang Daoren, he is the main business of Baoyuan Temple, and even for the situation that there are many nearby schools, specializing in academic signing business, it just so happens that Baoyuan Temple is also dedicated to Emperor Wenchang, which is also a professional counterpart. Compared with his master, it is difficult to say how Taoist is, but the quality of life and popularity are a few streets away from his master.

Naturally, there was no way to ride a bicycle on the way up the mountain, so I could only lock the car and walk up the stairs step by step with Tong Junwen. When I came to the temple, there were not many people who offered incense, and the people who returned to the truth were also idle, and when they saw Yimo and Tong Junwen walking up, they greeted them.

"Amitayus." The Taoist shouted a slogan, "Are the two of you here to ask for a sign or incense?" ”

Tong Junwen's personality was naturally too lazy to take care of him, so he could only answer Yimo, "Good Dao, let's ask for a sign." ”

Hearing that he was here to ask for a signature, the Guizhen Taoist suddenly smiled, and saw that the two of them were much more pleasing to the eye, "Please ask for a signature!" He stretched out his hand and led the two of them to the side hall for signing. He was naturally happy, the incense was a daily offering, although the number was large, but the amount was small. Asking for a sign is different, relying on the reputation of the master for many years and the ability to learn six or seven points of the master, of course this money has to be collected ruthlessly, he is a Taoist in the new era, doing food and online business is the king of word of mouth, the same is true for fortune telling, with word of mouth also has the ability, where will there be a problem with the money collected by the ability?

After sitting down and offering tea, the true Taoist spoke, "But do you want to study?" ”

"Yes, Michigan." Imer nodded.

"There are three kinds of academic signatures, Puyu, Meiyu and Jinyu, the content of the three is different, but the status is the same, there is no distinction between high and low, I don't know whether to choose, or to see the will of God?" The Returning Truth Taoist asked with a smile.

"It's up to Providence to ask for a signature, Daoist." Yimer reached out and pushed over a stack of bills, a thousand dollars.

Don't look at what this true Taoist said, in fact, Hou Xuan had already figured out his routine, and he also told Yimo to listen. What three kinds of jade, in fact, are three kinds of prices, Puyu is 100 yuan, beautiful jade is 300 yuan, gold jade is naturally 1000 yuan, the choice is actually selected when giving money, is it not God's will, is not it all based on how much money to give? If you want to say gold and jade, and then give 100, may you really draw gold and jade? How to unsign in the end, doesn't it just rely on the mouth of the true Taoist?

A thousand yuan is nothing to Yimo, of course, Yimer's thousand yuan is not given in vain, his real purpose is to ask for a talisman after signing.

Seeing that the guests were so generous, the Guizhen Taoist smiled so much that his eyes narrowed and he couldn't see, "Please wait a moment, I'll come over with a sticker!" ”

After that, it is necessary to ask for a signature and unsign.

Yimo handed the sign to the Taoist who returned to the truth, and the Taoist solemnly took it and looked at it carefully. Although this is a great natural, but I have to say that I still learned the master's six or seven points of ability, since Yimerken took out 1,000 yuan to ask for a signature, he is naturally willing to take out his real skills to calculate this signature.

The Returning Truth Taoist looked at the sign, stared at Yimo carefully, and let Yimo stretch out his left hand, his expression seemed a little puzzled. also glanced at Tong Junwen, who was reading quietly next to him.

After thinking for a moment, the Returning Truth Daoist spoke, "What kind of sign are you asking for?" ”

"Naturally, it's academic." Yimo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised in his heart, although he was thinking about his studies when he asked for a signature, he was really thinking about the ghost he saw yesterday, he had never come here to ask for a signature, and he didn't believe that this person could really solve his doubts. In his mind, the so-called asking for a signature is just to do what he likes, to say something good to the guests, Hou Xuan asks for a sign every time, and in the end the exam has to rely on Yimo, it is better to ask for a sign than to ask me. He never thought that these immortal seekers could really see anything.

"Not like, not like." The Christians laughed, "You have doubts in your heart, you have shackles, and people have shackles." The matter is small, but the implication is widespread. But your life is not in order, what do I think of this Taoist? Forcibly unsigned, I'm afraid I really don't have the ability to do it, and if I don't finish signing this life, I will be collected by God. ”

Hearing him say that he didn't have this ability, Yimer's face was a little stinky, although he didn't expect to really ask for anything, but he couldn't be fooled in vain.

Seeing Yimo's face, the Returning Truth Daoist knew that Yimo's thoughts were a little incomprehensible, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't worry, although I can't give you a complete solution to this sign, but you said to ask about your studies, I will solve the studies you asked." The rest of the requests, forgive the Taoist I can't do anything for the time being, I see that your life is lacking, it is better to keep this sign, in the future life will change you will come to ask the poor Dao, no longer charge you money, how about it? ”

Although it is reasonable for Yimo to say that he only asks about his studies, and only understands his studies and does not understand others, Taoist priests also have the professional ethics of Taoist priests. For Taoist priests who rely on the sky to eat, everything in heaven must be treated carefully, since the will of heaven has given such a sign, it is either incomprehensible or solved. He confessed that his ability was not enough to solve the current sign, so he could solve half of it, and leave the rest for the future, so that it would be a business, and it would not violate the will of heaven.

When Yimo heard the Taoist say this, he thought that he didn't look at the lottery itself, so he didn't bother more, and nodded in agreement.

The Returning Daoist then began to solve this study, although there were a lot of clichés, but he still vaguely pointed out that his current academic income is dependent on external forces, even if he can be admitted to a higher education institution, the help is weakened, I am afraid that it will soon reveal its original form, but it will be a bad character.

Hearing this, not only Yi Mo was dumbfounded, but Tong Junwen, who was indifferent next to him, was also a little stunned and looked over here.

"People, sometimes they just don't obey orders, dig out their hearts and go up for an obsession, and in the end they don't have enough life, but they are counterattacked, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing." The Taoist smiled and said, "Daoist, I see that you are pleasing to the eye, and I will say a few more words to you, although you are not a fool, but Emperor Wenchang is not a way that can be walked if you want to, you might as well stop in moderation, find another way, and maybe you can achieve something else." ”

Yimo was silent when he heard this, but Tong Junwen snorted lightly on the side, "Nonsense! ”

Although I feel that there is some truth in what the true Taoist said, but as a staunch materialist, Tong Junwen doesn't believe in any fate, if fate is really irreversible, then Yimo has already become a different person, and she is also a stranger.

The true Taoist was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "Little girl, if you don't believe in me, why don't I show you a look, which can be regarded as a gift to this reasonable little brother, how about it?" ”

Tong Junwen pursed his lips and turned his head to read the book disdainfully. However, Yimo was a little tempted, originally he wanted to ask Tong Junwen for a talisman that could exorcise evil spirits and protect him, in the face of this world that may gradually be a little different, he had the confidence to protect Tong Junwen in the normal world, but if he faced the supernatural power, he would not be able to start. So regardless of Tong Junwen's objection, he pulled her to the table, pressed her on the chair, and asked the Taoist to show her too.

The Returning Daoist looked at Tong Junwen's face for a while, then looked at her right hand, shook his head for a while, and exclaimed, "It's a good life, it's really good." He sat down and began to preach, "Taoist, I have followed the master to learn numerology since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of people of all kinds, but in the Wenchang Emperor, there are only a few people who can compare with you, if there is no accident, this little girl will definitely become a famous university scholar and a great scientist in the future." ”

Although the word "scientist" came out of the Taoist priest's mouth a little strangely, Yimer agreed with it. And Tong Junwen sat expressionlessly, as if he was not talking about himself.

"But there are a few words of advice, you can judge for yourself whether it is in your ears or not." The Taoist priest continued, "First, although your life is high, it is not under this dragon energy plate, the pool is shallow and narrow, even the real dragon cannot be born, and the place of ascension is not here, it is better to go north." Second, the two of you have unusual personalities, if you are an ordinary person, complement each other, and add fragrance to your red sleeves, it is also a beautiful thing. Although I can't tell the fortune of this little brother, I can guess a thing or two about the two of you. The two of you have a very high life, and you can't use common sense to speculate, and the mutual restraint of ordinary life can't be used on you. But the true dragon will be born in a blessed land, and take the anger of others, if the two of you insist on being in the same place before achieving the destiny, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve ordinary life, but it will cause trouble. ”

"You!" Tong Junwen's face turned pale when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, "What nonsense!" ”

Yimo held Tong Junwen's hand, signaled her not to speak, and apologized to the Taoist priest again and again.

However, the Taoist priest is also open-minded, smiled and said that he didn't take it to heart, "Good medicine is bitter, loyalty is against the ear, the road is taken by yourself, and your life is fought for by yourself." I can only say this about Taoist priests. Then he said, "Look at the little brother also understands the rules of the Taoist, since the gold and jade lottery is drawn, then you can naturally take a talisman enshrined under the throne of Emperor Wenchang, and put it in the pen case on the day of the unified examination, which will make the exam smooth and smooth, and the thoughts are like springs." ”

Yimo thought that Masana was coming, so he said, "It's just right, can I go and ask for a talisman myself?" ”

The Taoist nodded with a smile and led him to the main hall dedicated to Emperor Wenchang, and Tong Junwen sat in place sulking.

In the Wenchang Palace, Yimo chose the talisman, put it in a small bag, put it in his backpack, and then said, "Dao Chief, I have one more thing to ask for." ”

"Please." The Christians put their hands together in the long sleeves of their robes, and making a deal made him feel good.

"I'd like to ask for a talisman to ward off evil spirits," Imer paused, "a truly useful amulet." ”

The Returning Truth Daoist, who was about to speak with a relaxed face, frowned when he heard Yimer's emphasis, and said hesitantly, "I am waiting for the small temple to naturally have things to worship and exorcise evil spirits, why don't you go to the front hall to have a look?" ”

"My parents know each other with the Governor of Guangyang," Yimo took out a jade pendant from his collar and showed it to the Returning Daoist, "This is the jade pendant that my parents asked for me when I was a child, and it was made by the Governor of Guangyang himself." ”

In fact, before yesterday, Yimo didn't believe that this jade pendant really had any effect, he remembered that when he was a child, his parents often corresponded with Guangyang Daochang, and every time he went abroad, he had to ask Guangyang Daochang to ask for a few amulets to bring on his body, and this jade pendant was also made by Guangyang Daochang himself when he was a child, and it was always hung on Yimo's neck. Before yesterday, the meaning of the jade pendant was nothing more than representing the love of his parents for him, but after today, he suddenly realized that maybe the jade pendant was not a simple jade pendant.

When the Returning Daoist saw the jade pendant, a sudden look flashed in his eyes, "It turned out to be the son of Yi Dongbo and Yu Minxi, I also saw you when you were a child." ”

Yimo smiled, "Exactly, I don't know if there is any posthumous work of the Guangyang Daoist." ”

"Your family likes to get this kind of thing...... "The Returning Truth Taoist shook his head and whispered, and then said with a straight face, "Yes, there are even those that your parents didn't take away from your parents earlier, but I can't give it to you, it's the rule." You have to ask for amulets, and we can only count them separately. ”

"Of course, I don't bother to touch my parents' things." Imer took out a paper bag from his school bag, which was the money he had just picked up on the road. "I don't know if it's enough?"

The Converts opened the paper bag and looked at it, then thought about it, and then took out two more stacks and returned them to Yimo, "Since you are the son of an old man, I will give you a discount." ”

Then wrap the paper bag and cover it with your sleeve, "You wait for me here, I'll go get it for you." ”

Imer nodded, found a cushion and sat down, watching the Christians walk towards the apse.

After waiting for a while, the Christians had not returned, and Yimo was not used to sitting on this kind of cushion, and was trying to stand up and move his legs. At this moment, without warning, a throbbing surge, a vibration from the unknown world made Yimer think for a moment that his heart was torn open from his body, and a pervasive sense of nothingness struck, he forgot the passage of time, forgot where he was, and the boundary between reality and nothingness seemed to be non-existent.

After an unknown amount of time, when Imer regained his perception of the real world, he found himself lying on the ground. Standing up in a daze, he felt the vibration coming from the apse not far away, and his face changed, "Dao Chief!" "Run towards the apse.

The door of the apse was open, but there was no human figure inside, and a wave of nausea still hit from time to time, Yimo's face was pale, frightened, and he looked over one room by one, but he couldn't see the figure of the Taoist priest at all, he obviously saw the Taoist priest enter the apse, and now the person disappeared like this!

Yimo knew that something beyond common sense must have happened, and looking at the empty apse, a chill rose irrepressibly in his heart.

He didn't know if the power that made the Taoist priest disappear was related to the ghost he saw yesterday, or even the same power, but he knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, and Tong Junwen was still in the front yard, so he should leave quickly while it didn't affect the front yard now.

Just as Imo made up his mind, there was a sudden sound of a human body falling to the ground in a room, and the ensuing moaning sound, which made Imer's face even more ugly, and he was really frightened. Because he'd just looked at that room, and there was no one in it at all!

He walked quickly to the room, and it was the True Daoist lying on the ground, "Dao, Daoist?" Yimo was a little unsure that this Dao chief was still not human, and asked hesitantly.

The Taoist priest looked up and found that it was Yimo, and breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still not good-looking, and it seemed that he was frightened by something, "Why are you ...... here?" and struggled to get up.

Yimo hurriedly walked up and helped him, but he heard a snap, something shattered, and the two looked down to see that it was a small gourd on the waist of the Taoist priest, which cracked in front of their eyes, and then shattered to the ground. The Taoist priest's face changed greatly, and he pushed Yimo out, "Hurry up, let's go, don't come back these days!" Hurry! ”

"This ......" Imer didn't know what the broken gourd meant, but it was also instinctively not good, so he raised his feet and walked out.

"Wait, this! This one! The Taoist priest picked up a box from the table and stuffed it into Yimo's hand, "What you want, you can keep it safe for a while, it's best to put it on and don't take it off." You let the pilgrims in the front hall also leave, and say that the temple is closed for the past few days, and don't come for the time being! ”

The nervous appearance of the Taoist priest infected Yimo, nodded, walked to the front hall, and saw that the Taoist priest did not leave, and turned back and asked, "Daoist, aren't you leaving?" ”

"Where can I go, this is my territory, and I'm ready they can't help me. Hurry up, I'm going to hurry up! The Taoist priest went into the room without looking back.

Yimo came to the front hall and conveyed the news of the closed door to a few pilgrims, and returned to the side hall where Tong Jun was staying, and saw that she was still reading quietly, unaffected, Yimo breathed a sigh of relief. Yimo walked to Tong Junwen's side, and in her curious eyes, he opened the box that the Taoist priest gave him just now, which was a bracelet made of colorful beads of unknown material, he gently picked up the bracelet and put it on Tong Junwen, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, the Taoist chief is going to close the door to thank the guests, and the pilgrims are all going down the mountain." At this time, Yimer's face had returned to normal, and he couldn't see the turbulence in his heart.

Tong Junwen didn't have any doubts, nodded, and went down the mountain side by side with Yimo.
