The master looked at the back of the old man asking for food and leaving, and couldn't figure out why he was asking for food, he didn't want copper plates, he had to drink the water in his water bag, wasn't it the same water from the well.

After the old man had gone away, the master picked up the copper plate on the ground, turned around and went to the well to fetch two bags of water.

When the master returned home, the lame Taoist had not yet prepared the peach wood brand, and the lame Taoist took advantage of my grandfather's time to fetch water, and quietly went to the village to give instructions door to door, but because of the haste of the matter, many villagers said that it would be possible to prepare the peach wood brand at night at the earliest.

In a blink of an eye, this came to the evening, after dinner, the lame Taoist came to my grandfather's house, and said to the grandfather, it is not appropriate to write a peach wood sign for the villagers here, and it is easy to be discovered by the senior brother, so it is better to take pen and ink and well water, follow me to the homes of those villagers, and write them door to door. The master didn't say a word when he heard this, but nodded and agreed.

After the lights were turned off in Xiao Laodao's room, the two of them took pen and ink and well water, quietly left the courtyard, and rushed to the village.

As mentioned earlier, this small village is located on a soil ridge, and there are only a few dozen families in the whole village, to be exact, only thirty-three families, two of which are still old, weak, sick and disabled, and no one in these two families has strange dreams. The remaining thirty-one households, the lame Taoist limped and took my grandfather one by one.

Every time he went to a family's house, the lame Taoist used well water to help the master study ink, and the master also wrote the four inks of "Resignation" on the peach wood card solemnly as he had written the format of the peach wood card before. After the master wrote it, the lame Taoist was still very enthusiastic about the villagers, how to hang the mahogany sign at the door, and everything they did was concocted in the same way and without any mistakes.

When the master and the lame Taoist were done, it was already deep, and they returned home and went to sleep.

The next day, when it was almost noon, the villagers in the village came to the door of the grandfather's yard in groups, and shouted at the door to see the lame Taoist.

Seeing this, the master and the lame Taoist hurriedly went out, and those villagers saw the master and the lame Taoist come out, and immediately surrounded the two people.

When the master and the lame Taoist heard this, they showed a stunned face, how could it not work? The lame Taoist persuaded those villagers not to worry, the peach wood brand must work, let us think about what went wrong.

The villagers shouted when they heard it, where else could there be a problem, when there was no sign, one person did one person's work, and after the sign was hung, one person had to do two people's work, and if this dream was not good, it was you, the demon Taoist, who made it!

When the master and the lame Taoist heard this, how could this be? The lame Taoist patiently explained to the villagers, but no one listened to him, and the villagers became more and more noisy, and in the end, those villagers said that the lame Taoist and my wife were liars, and deceived them into working hard to find the peach wood card, not only did they work in vain, but the work also increased.

The noise quickly alarmed everyone in the courtyard, Xiao Laodao, Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Shiyi, and the girl who was a performer all came out.

Xiao Laodao didn't know what was going on at first, but after he asked about the situation, he immediately sank his face, ignored the noisy villagers, and said coldly to my grandfather and the lame Taoist: "This is the end of nosy, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, you two can do it yourself!" With that, he turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Xiao Laodao's words, it was very like falling into a well, causing the lame Taoist and my grandfather to feel very uncomfortable, and finally there was no way, the lame Taoist took off the peach wood sign hanging at the gate of the courtyard, and saw the most noisy person in the crowd, and stuffed the peach wood brand into his hand, and the lame Taoist said to the man, you take this sign home and hang it, if you still have strange dreams at night, the poor Taoist will admit that he is a liar, and apologize to your whole village......

The person who quarreled the most immediately shut up when he got the sign, and the other villagers soon stopped talking, and dispersed one after another, and a storm was suppressed.

When the master and the lame Taoist returned to the courtyard, Xiao Laodao looked at the two of them anxiously, and said with a smile: "Heaven is forgivable, but people are evil-don't live!" ”

In a blink of an eye, the day passed like this, and that night, Xiao Laodao, Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Shiyi, including the entertaining girl, the four of them dreamed of being called to build a city wall overnight.

When the sun was up, after Xiao Laodao woke up from his dream, he lost his temper and urged the lame Taoist to ask him to find the villager and ask for the peach wood card back.

At this time, the lame Taoist really looked in the mirror by Zhu Bajie, and there was no person inside, but after all, he was a cultivator, and he had already looked down on the red dust matter, and he was not in a hurry or impatient, in fact, he didn't need Xiao Laodao to urge him, he would also go to the villager's house.

Then, the lame Taoist called out to my grandfather, and the two of them rushed to the villager's house who took the peach wood card.

When they came to the door of the villager's house, the two people subconsciously looked up and saw that there was no peach sign at the door, and the two people were suddenly puzzled.

Knocking on the courtyard door, it was the villager who opened the door yesterday, and the lame Taoist asked him directly, "How is it, does this peach wood brand work?" ”

When the villager heard this, he immediately sank his face and replied coldly: "Whatever it is, I still had a dream all night!" ”

When the lame Taoist heard this, his face showed a hint of surprise, he looked up at the door and asked, "Then what about our sign, why is it not hanging on the door?" ”

The villager didn't even look at the door, and replied coldly: "It was still hanging last night, who knows why it will be gone, it won't work anyway, if you lose it, you will lose it!" ”

When the lame Taoist heard this, he looked at the villagers, looked at the door again, and gave the villagers a look, "If it's gone, it's gone, then we won't bother and leave." The villagers didn't say a word, and the lame Taoist turned around and left with the master.

On the way home, the grandfather was puzzled, frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, those villagers' peach wood brands don't work, why don't we even use this piece?" Could it be that I can only write one piece of this mahogany brand, and ...... Doesn't it work if you change places? ”

The lame Taoist shook his head lightly, and said unhurriedly: "The sign you wrote must work, even if you change places, it will work, but the villager just now...... Lied, our brand was not lost, but he took it off the door in advance, put it away and didn't want to give it to us, didn't you see his complexion today, much better than yesterday, it means that he didn't dream last night. ”

When the master heard this, he immediately stood upside down, "Damn, I'll go find him to come back!" ”

The lame Taoist hurriedly grabbed the master, "Forget it, it's just a sign, let him go, what we have to do now is to figure out why the sign you wrote for those villagers doesn't work, think about it carefully, is there something wrong with us?" ”

Taiye let out a long breath and calmed down for a while, and finally, Taiye shook his head, "I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it!" ”

"Then that's weird, with your ability, you can really only write one brand, and then write a second one won't work?" The lame Taoist muttered to himself, and quickly overturned this speculation, "No, if you rely on this, and push back those who take official positions to see feng shui fortune telling, wouldn't they only be able to show people feng shui and fortune telling once in their lives?" ”

Back at home, the two of them went into the lame Taoist's room and carefully scrutinized the whole process of writing the mahogany card, but they didn't find any omissions, and the whole process was exactly the same as when my grandfather wrote the first mahogany card.

What's going on here? The two of them were puzzled, and in the end, they had no choice, and the lame Taoist took out the copper coins used for divination.

The meaning of the lame Taoist, I really can't find the reason at the moment, it is better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and ask a hexagram to try your luck.

Three copper coins were scattered on the table, and the lame Taoist started with a hexagram, and the master couldn't understand it, and the lame Taoist looked at it, and asked my master with a suspicious face, "Brother Liu, did you encounter anything when you were drawing water by the well?" ”

When the lame Taoist asked, the master suddenly remembered, and then told the lame Taoist in detail about the old man who was asking for food by the well.

After hearing this, the lame Taoist breathed a long sigh of relief, "I finally found the root cause of the problem, it was the well water you called that was polluted." ”

The master frowned suddenly, "Could it be that the one who always asks for food?" ”

The lame Taoist nodded, "If I'm right, the person who asked for food spit in the bag after drinking all the water, and when you put the well water into the water bag, the water will be tainted by the spit......"

The master suddenly widened his eyes, and said angrily: "No wonder that old man doesn't even want copper coins for food, he has to drink the water in the bag!" ”

The lame Taoist said: "Brother Mo Qi, judging from the hexagram, the person you met by the well is not a person at all, so it can be inferred that there is something that does not want you to write a peach wood card again." ”

When the master heard this, he suddenly stood up from the chair and said: "I, Liu Niandao, have grown up, and the ghosts and gods have not dared to deceive, but I didn't expect to be teased now, Brother Benchu please prepare some more peach wood cards, and I will go to the well to get some water and come back." ”

The lame Taoist hurriedly stood up from the chair, and did not stop the master, but admonished: "Be careful this time, don't go on a business trip again." ”

This time, the master changed two water bags, rushed to the edge of the Xicun well again, fetched a bucket of water from the well, and washed the two bags inside and out several times.

Just when the master felt that the bag was cleaned, he put the bucket into the well again, and shook the wheel to draw water, suddenly, he felt a slight noise behind him, and the master turned his head to look, and saw a big dog with miscellaneous hair, standing behind him at some point.

Without waiting for the master to come back to his senses, the big dog showed a vicious face, opened his mouth and bit at the master, the master was caught off guard, and wanted to raise his legs backwards to kick it, but it was too late, so he quickly let go of the roller in his hand, twisted his body to the side, and the big dog suddenly pounced in the air.

The bucket that was about to be shaken up by the grandfather, at this time the bones fell back into the well, and there was a "poof" sound, the grandfather was suddenly furious, and was just about to attack the big dog, the big dog suddenly jumped up in the air, but instead of jumping to the master, he jumped to the well, and before the master could react, his head was down, and he was planted directly into the well.

The master hurriedly took an arrow step, ran to the mouth of the well, looked into the well, and saw the big dog fluttering in the water under the well, as if it was a dog that could not water.

After a while, the big dog opened his mouth and purred and sank into the water, the master saw this, and immediately stomped his feet, the well water was polluted by the dog again this time, how can this water be beaten!

Carrying two empty bags home, the master told the lame Taoist about the big dog jumping into the well, and the lame Taoist frowned rarely, at this time it can be completely concluded that this is someone deliberately making a hindrance, and the old man and the big dog are not coincidental.

The two of them immediately summed up, summed up and went together, and pointed the finger at the Hanwang Temple, obviously, the city wall in the dream has something to do with the Hanwang Temple, and now the Taiye wants to prevent them from arresting people to build the city, and the things in the Hanwang Temple cannot be indifferent.

The master came out of the lame Taoist's room, went to the horse shed to lead the horse, and wanted to go to the Hanwang Temple again, at this time, Xiao Laodao came out of the room, walked to the horse shed and asked my master, where are you leading the horse?

The master didn't want to hide it from Xiao Laodao, so he told Xiao Laodao in one breath, Xiao Laodao listened to it, and asked my grandfather, "Since you know that it is something in the Hanwang Temple that is the obstacle, then what do you want to do when you go to the Hanwang Temple, is it difficult to burn the temple to him?" ”
