Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the Capital Chapter 131: Destiny

Taoism is comprehensive and unimpeded for hundreds of generations, broad and subtle. It is said that it is far away, and the sea is inclusive. Implicit is an elegant, light-hearted wisdom of wisdom.

There were emperors who took Taoism as the main purpose of governing the country, allowing the people to recuperate and prosper under the previous harsh rule.

Even the idea of soldiering was deeply influenced by Taoism.

When Buddhism settled in, Taoism was greatly suppressed. From "a lonely place" to a bleak ending of "lonely ending", it gradually lost its momentum of resistance to the court. After a thousand years of loneliness, it slowly began to turn into the people, leaving behind the inexplicable things of the Five Elements Doctrine.

Taoist metaphysics has been around for thousands of years. It is not only benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the laws of the legal system, but also the circulation of the five elements in the Taoist network.

In the words of the old Taoist, the authentic way is to explain: a smile can make the stream flow into the sea, a flick of a finger can make people's will shatter into powder, and a conversation and laughter can make the tree ashes disappear and scatter in the sky. By spitting out the true words of Taoism, you can make demons and monsters fall into purgatory from life to death, and there will be no eternal life. Between waving his hand and raising his sleeves, he can turn the magnificent corridor waist back into a burn, turning it into a barren grass, a dead grave, and no grass grows. This is the supreme being... Mysterious and mysterious.

Chen Qingfeng, the national teacher, watched the celestial phenomena under the star chess in the Guantian Pavilion, calculated the momentum of the country's fortune, and the person belonged to the fate.

Since Taoism entered the people, the most well-known and secretive art is fortune-telling, even if it is not the original intention of Taoism.

Therefore, for the matter of life, Dao furniture has the absolute right to speak.

The old Taoist reported the name: a tour.

Li Xiangru observed that from his words and deeds and those methods that disappeared out of thin air that were difficult to follow, this person's cultivation was by no means inferior to his own master, and may even be higher than that of the national teacher Chen Qingfeng.

In the words of a traveling Taoist, if it weren't for him floating overseas, the person in the position of national teacher would not be Chen Qingfeng, but him.

He pondered these words several times, and there may be some exaggerations between the words of the Taoist, but he is definitely not the kind of person who likes to exaggerate and make false and alarmist words. If Chen Qingfeng was the number one cultivator of the human race, wouldn't that Dao person already be above the national teacher?

On the contrary, he hoped that the Yiyou Daoist was boastful, and only the lower the ability of the Yiyou Daoist, the higher the personality of the person who saw it, the personality of the person who saw it would not be accurate. He looked up at the ugly girl in the courtyard who was busy drying her clothes, and his brow furrowed deeply. He is never good at self-deception. You can escape some unnecessary troubles, but it doesn't mean that you will shrink back in the face of real difficulties. All I want is, how to stop this bad luck that falls on the ugly girl?

A Taoist can calculate the fate between his fingers, but he shakes his head bitterly and has no way to crack it. If it weren't for the coincidence, Li Xiangru wouldn't know the future fate of the ugly girl.

There is no solution to the fate, as if the death penalty is a final word.

Li Xiangru was anxious.

After returning from the wilderness, he closed himself in the study, constantly writing and drawing on paper, and countless times crumpled the finished writing and painting into a ball and threw it in the basket. Overnight, the study was filled with a mess of ink-stained paper.

The ugly lady knocked on the door outside, and her tone was a little worried and worried.

Li Xiangru heard the voice of the ugly lady outside the door, scratched his head with both hands, and his eyes were bloodshot when he opened the ground. After a moment, he sighed lightly and shouted into the room as usual, "I'm cultivating, don't disturb me for the time being." ”

The ugly lady hesitated outside the door for a while, and then gradually left. It's just that there is still a little worry in the footsteps. She walked slowly to the gate, slammed it shut, and dropped the heavy beam. Big brother cultivates, and needs to be pure. Closing the door is a way to create an environment. Even if she knows that there are not many outsiders visiting on weekdays.

Yan Ruyu hugged Xiaobai, sat at the window on the second floor, and looked at the few camellia trees outside that were becoming more and more intense in spring. After hearing the ugly girl's story, she muttered: "It's strange, he usually informs us in advance when he cultivates, why is it so sudden this time?" She turned around, looked at the ugly girl suspiciously, and said, "You say, is this related to the old Taoist who met yesterday?" After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the silver bracelet given by the old Taoist on his wrist, which was engraved with words similar to oracle bone inscriptions, which were Taoist inscriptions.

The ugly lady cleaned up the ornaments in the house that were messed up when Xiao Bai was jumping around, and when she heard the words like jade, she raised her head slightly, and then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but does it mean that cultivators have attained enlightenment by chance? She picked up a blue porcelain vase, wiped it with a cotton cloth, frowned slightly, and said, "That person doesn't look like a bad person, and he gave us something." The jade pendant he gave me, although I don't know what kind of jade it is, after wearing it on my body, I feel that I can sleep a lot more steadily at night. ”

Yan Ruyu nodded, feeling very reasonable, the old Taoist seemed to be very powerful, and seemed to be very kind. Otherwise, Li Xiangru would not have left the gifts given by the Taoist to the ground with her cautious appearance, but yesterday she observed that when the Taoist was talking, Li Xiangru kept squirming with his fingers behind his back, which was Li Xiangru's habit of occasionally moving when he was thinking. At that time. Li Xiangru is still guarding against the sudden authentic person.

It should be that Li Xiangru had some epiphany in his cultivation before he retreated and thought about it. Well, meditating for four or five days, or ten and a half days, is also a very normal thing for cultivators. After thinking about this, she no longer struggled, stood up, took out a crisp green jujube from the fruit bowl and put it to her mouth, took a bite, and said a little vaguely: "Then take care of it, the gods are mysterious." They're like that. ”

The ugly lady let out a soft "um", brought the basin aside, and began to wipe down the ornaments on the table again.

Yan Ruyu was a little annoyed and put Xiaobai on the couch. He said to the ugly lady who was busy: "Why are you so born to be a subordinate maid? Now Li Xiangru has a big family, and he also manages all the income and silver of the family to you." You also said that if you let yourself do it, you can't hire a maid to do these things?"

The ugly girl turned her head, smiled at Yan Ruyu, and replied without any guilt: "I was originally a maid." After speaking, he began to pour it upside down, wiped the edge of the shelf, and said: "Actually, I admire the eldest brother so much, there is a steady stream of molecular money in just a wine-making place, and it is said that it has become a tribute, only a small part of it has flowed into the people, and the price has risen to gold." In the capital, only the first five restaurants have land for sale. ”

"Actually, I can't read very well, and my eldest brother originally said that it was good to be honest and follow the money, and I didn't have to calculate the accounts or anything. Although he agreed on the surface, he secretly went to check the accounts, and it was not that he was worried about anyone, but he felt that there was a good number of silver taels at home. It's better to keep some silver. Fortunately, the eldest brother is not the kind of person who spends lavishly, and he is not good at the place of fireworks, except for the purchase of some books, paper, pen and ink, etc., there is not much expense. By the way, two days ago I saw a good silk horse, and I was going to buy a few to make some robes for my eldest brother, but this day slowly began to get hot. Big brother Xia Yi, less. I've woven all those collections into a book. These are all habits that I left over from before, and I can't change them for a while. My eldest brother found out once, and he didn't count me down, and handed me a calculation method, what is it called...... Arabic numerals and the like? I learned it in a day, and it's pretty easy to use. As soon as the ugly girl's chatterbox was opened, she gushed endlessly, regardless of whether Yan Ruyu was listening or not.

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, for these trivial things, she naturally didn't care, but when she heard that summer was coming, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said: "This is the beginning of April when the acacia flowers are hanging on the branches, and there are at least two months left in this summer." ”

She swallowed the green dates, clapped her palms, and swallowed the candy on the fruit plate, as if she had withstood a great test before retracting her outstretched hand. She finally took her eyes off the candy and landed on the ugly girl who was still busy, but it reminded her of Di Qiuhe, who had been serving her since she was a child. She also has nothing to do with the trivial things in the yard that are chattering in my ears all day long, and when she gets tired of listening to them, she picks up some neighbors to scold and scold the land to break them up. Eating clothes and food, she never thought about it. If you're hungry, Qiu He will always be very interested in sending snacks. There is a new beautiful silk in the shop, and the shopkeeper always sends someone to deliver it, and the best tailor will process and sew it according to her preferences. Naturally, she didn't know how much time it would take to sew a ready-to-wear garment. She didn't have to worry about that kind of thing.

The ugly lady smiled slightly, soaked the cotton cloth and wrung it out, and said while wiping the unfinished table and chair: "Well, but this skill is not enough, and the time is necessary." It's sewn now, and you can wear it when the temperature turns. And there's not much to do now. Doing this can also be a big time. ”

"That's nothing!" Yan Ruyu said annoyedly, looking at these furniture that he didn't feel strange after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help but be restless, his eyes rolled, and he said bewildermently: "Why don't we go out before it gets dark?"

"Huh?" asked the ugly girl, a little uncertain, "We only went out yesterday?"

Yan Ruyu decided not to discuss with the ugly girl, said to go, stood up and took the ugly girl's hand and ran downstairs, and said as she walked: "Let's go to the silk village to see if there is any new cloth and buy it back." Didn't you just want to make some clothes for Lee Sang-ru?"

Ugly girl: "Hey...... Hey, ......" a few times, and even the cotton cloth that was wiped was snatched away by Yan Ruyu and thrown aside, without even having a chance to justify.

Yan Ruyu never seemed to be reasoning with her.

When she was about to go out, the ugly girl didn't even have time to hesitate before she was pulled onto the street by Yan Ruyu.

Li Xiangru heard the movement, and his footsteps moved slightly a few times but stopped.
