Chapter 33 Jiangnan Tavern

After looking at it for a while, I walked back stupidly, and then I came out and looked at some scenery, landscapes, and the scene of those villagers digging ditches, the old pig fairy asked me to go out on the third day, what was I going to do, I didn't say, I had to go back and ask him. Seeing me return to the courtyard, the old pig fairy and the master greeted me, and the old pig fairy opened his mouth first: "Ergou, what did you hear outside?" ”

I was stunned, and immediately said, "Look at the scenery and landscape, what do you hear...... It is nothing more than the language of birds, the sound of birds. ”

"Nonsense!" The old pig fairy waved his hand and hurriedly corrected: "Didn't you hear anyone talk or anything?" ”

"Yes!" I nodded, remembering what I had heard from the villagers, and said, "I heard the villagers say that you have to unblock the ditch or it will flood the fields." Yes, that's all, old pig fairy, you won't just let me listen to people, will you? What kind of divination is this? I don't understand it at all! ”

The old pig fairy ignored my complaints, but frowned and asked again, "Is this the first thing you heard?" Do I mean the first thing you hear this morning when you walk out of the yard? ”

"Uh......" I thought about it again, but I shook my head and said, "That's not it, the first sentence seems to be shouted by the villager, shouting 'the ditch is blocked', well, I'm sure that's it, and it's the first sentence I heard today." Old pig fairy, could it be that this sentence is the result of the mirror? ”

"Not bad!" The old pig fairy smiled and hurriedly said: "The key to the way of mirror divination is the first sentence you heard on the morning of the third day, and then it corresponds to the thing you want to divination, which refers to a hexagram." And what you just said, the ditch blocks the water, just a few words, it is through three water words, the front and back are water, the middle ditch has three points of water, and the three water represent three water-related places, which shows that the secret of heaven and earth you are looking for is still related to water, and it is to find three places related to water, the ditch blocks the water, and it does not flow, and it will turn into a lake after not flowing for a long time, this hexagram is a hexagram, Senior Brother Yang, this time you should always believe that you should go to find the three famous lakes in the south of the Yangtze River this time, right? ”

Master nodded and said, "Since the Heaven and Earth Secret Book is related to the three famous lakes, we will immediately rush to the south of the Yangtze River to find the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Secret Book in turn. Old pig fairy, I didn't expect to be able to use your divination ability this time, thank you so much! ”

The old pig fairy smiled a little embarrassedly: "We are also senior brothers, don't praise me." However, your journey is difficult, and I am afraid that you will encounter a catastrophe in Jiangnan, so I will try to rush to rescue you as much as possible when I am free, hehe! ”

"I said three times in a row, but every time it was an afterthought...... "I despised an old pig fairy angrily."

The old pig fairy smacked his lips, seeing that I was going to hide the copper coins close to me, he hurriedly ran to me to grab it with me: "Hey! Ergou, I didn't say I was going to give you this bronze mirror! Why are you reluctant to give it back to me? Look at how good your master is, use my sword and return it to me honestly, you are not right, return it to me, that is my treasure......"

I hurriedly retreated, hid behind the master, and said with a smile: "Old pig fairy, what do you have to be generous?" Isn't it just a broken bronze mirror, just give it to me, I have learned this mirror method, and I can calculate the good luck and evil for us in the future, you should make a merit! ”

The old pig fairy wanted to take it back with a painful face, but in front of the master, he didn't dare to mess around, so he had to point at me through the master and said: "Okay, Ergou, I actually learned to cheat, but let's say first, we can let you borrow it for a while, and then I will go to get it, you use it carefully, in case I bump it, I can't spare you, do you know?!" ”

"Yes, yes." I smiled and waved my hand, and patted the bronze mirror in my pocket like a baby. I thought to myself, how can I give it back to you now that it's in my hands......

After breakfast, Master and I packed up our burdens and said goodbye to the old pig fairy and his family.

Master never likes to say goodbye to people in person, and always leaves quietly, because there is an unwritten goodbye ritual that is well known to cultivators, that is, the words that cannot say goodbye to each other, because if you don't say goodbye, it means that there is no separation, and if you never say goodbye, then it means that you will never be separated, even if you are separated from each other at the ends of the world, you have never been separated. If you know the meaning of it, you won't send it, because the cultivators are all practicing in the direction of the otherworldly, and they are not bound by the world, and if the two cultivators shed tears and were reluctant, it would inevitably shake the heart of the Dao.

But the master solemnly hugged his fist and saluted the old pig fairy: "I hope he can see him again in the future." ”

In a few short words, neither the words "farewell" nor the words "I am leaving" are not said, which shows that the master is also a little difficult to let go of this former junior brother Sanyuanzi. The old pig fairy's eyes were slightly red, and he also hugged his fists and saluted, saying, "Senior brother, take care all the way!" ”

I was stunned, the old pig fairy actually solemnly called the master when we were about to leave. I know how far-reaching the meaning is, the tip of my nose can't help but be sour, and I said to the old pig fairy: "I hope you will really meet us again in the future, and you want to return your bronze mirror, old pig fairy, Aunt Yujiao, you also take care of yourself, and give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible, hehe!" ”

Hearing this, Aunt Yujiao's pretty face suddenly blushed, but she still nodded and said: "Ergou, there is not much dry food prepared for you, but your aunt has so much money for you, when everything can go smoothly on the road, you can take out the food that is missing and eat in an emergency, and the aunt knows that you cultivators are alone and don't like to accept this money, but this is a little bit of the aunt's heart, you must accept it." ”

Saying that, Aunt Yujiao stuffed a roll of money into my baggage, and I was embarrassed to accept it, after all, these days, Aunt Yujiao has asked Aunt Yujiao to make food for us, and she eats other people's houses and lives in other people's homes, and now people are giving me money, how can I be embarrassed to accept it...... But I also know how important this money is to our road, and when I hesitate, I can't help but look at the master, if the master does not agree with me to accept it, I still have to return it to Aunt Yujiao.

How do you know that the master smiled and nodded: "Since it is your Aunt Yujiao's intention, then you can accept it." ”

I smiled, Master was finally reasonable. Officially leaving, I'm a little reluctant to let the old pig fairy, don't look at him all day long, he has a cheap temper, but this person is really good. Not only is the Tao high, but also the heart is really sincere and kind. I left the old pig fairy's house far away with the master, and when I looked back from time to time, I could still see Aunt Yujiao and the low, short and fat old pig fairy standing at the gate of their house. They watched us go until I could no longer see the old pig fairy's yard, and then I reluctantly turned back.

Master doesn't have any mood swings, it seems like he has left an ordinary person's home, he is a person who always leaves me speechless, so it's better to sigh twice in response to the scene......

More than two months later, our master and apprentice slowly arrived at the boundary of Nanjing, south of the Yangtze River, and the beginning of the new year, another spring is coming, which seems to indicate our future and start a new page of history. Jiangnan, there are four provinces and six governments, the four provinces are Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province four provinces, some people put Shanghai into the Jiangnan provinces and cities, but Shanghai is only a city, not a province. As for the six prefectures, they refer to Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang, and Jiaxing, but the first place on our trip is not one of the six prefectures, but Nanjing on the Yangtze River, where Master and I first go first, followed by Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, and finally West Lake in Hangzhou. Because geographically, it's going south.

At this time, there were many old shops in Nanjing, such as a tavern not far from the front. Look at the guise is "Peaceful Tavern". It feels chic and peaceful.

I looked up at the bright moonlight and asked Master, "Master, not far east is the boundary of Xuanwu Lake, but now that it's getting late, why don't we go to that tavern and have a bite to eat, and then go to the vicinity of Xuanwu Lake tomorrow to search for clues?" ”

Master nodded and said, "It's okay, it's really hard for you to sleep in the open for such a long time, let's go to that peaceful tavern to have some food and rest for the night, and then let's go tomorrow." By the way, learning about the environment near Xuanwu Lake is also convenient for us to find clues to the secrets of heaven and earth. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Master, Xuanwu Lake should be a large area, we won't go around the entire lake, right?" "It's incredible to think about it, if the three famous lakes are looking for clues like this, I don't know how long it will take.

Master smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary, but wherever there is a secret of heaven and earth, it must be a blessed land cave heaven, either a family of extreme wealth and wealth, or an excellent feng shui dragon cave." Or it is a place of great spirituality and blessedness, as long as we can distinguish it, we can go straight to those special places to find it, and we don't have to aimlessly screen them one by one. ”

That's good, but why didn't I think of it?
