Chapter 33: Fortune telling
At noon the next day, the Taoist priest in the city and the master discussed going to Taoist Bay to have a look, and the master also said that the Taoist priest in the city had never seen the mountain, so it would be good to take them to see it.
So after lunch, we went to Daoist's Bay with Iveco, who had driven from the city.
At that time, the mountain road had not been repaired, and when the car was halfway through, we got off the car and changed to walking, the driver stayed in the car, and the rest of the Taoist priests went up the mountain with me and the master, accompanied by the master.
Everyone came to Taoist Bay and sat in the hall, the master asked me to make a cup of tea for everyone, and Senior Sister Xuanji also came to help me. Daoist Zhang in the city held a teacup, looked around the hall with his eyes, looked at the wooden statue and asked: "The statue you offered in front of you is not the statue of Sanqing, dare to ask which immortal it is?" ”
The master smiled: "I'm afraid that you will laugh when I say it, this is the image of our grandfather." ”
The younger Daoist Liu asked: "The statue of the ancestor is also normal, where is the joke?" ”
Master Bo continued: "This statue is still carved by the ancestor himself, in fact, the wooden statue of the ancestor was originally intended for the moral Tianzun Laozi, but the ancestor is not a professional carver after all, so it has been carved for a long time, but it is a little similar to his own appearance, fortunately, it is directly carved into himself, and said that it is better to ask for others than to ask for himself." ”
When the crowd heard this, they laughed.
Daoist Zhang continued: "It seems that your ancestor is also a free and easy person. ”
Master Bo said: "Although Master Zu said that it was inherited from the Louguan School, all factions were involved, and he himself worshiped Nanhua Zhenren, so there were no taboos on many things. ”
Senior Sister Xuanji asked: "The portrait hanging behind you, one is the moral Tianzun Laozi, and the other is Yin Xi, the real person of Wenshi, right?" ”
Master Bo smiled and said, "Exactly, Patriarch Yin Xi is a missionary sent by me. ”
Senior Sister Xuanji continued: "Yin Xizhen is good at observing the stars, dividing good fortune and evil, presumably your school's attainments in this are also extraordinary. ”
Master Bo sighed and said: "I'm ashamed to say that although the ancestor is said to be the Louguan faction, but the Louguan has long been in decline to us, and the ancestor is rarely involved in the astrological things, and the ancestor is better at talismans, exorcism and Qimen arithmetic." ”
Senior Sister Xuanji then asked, "Those two are proficient in Qimen arithmetic?" ”
The master and the master both shook their heads, and the master said: "We have no successors to the Louguan School here, and my senior brother and I are both shallow in our wisdom, and we only learn to charm seals and exorcise ghosts, and we are all skins. The owner of this saber, Zhang Blind, inherited the arithmetic of his ancestor, but he is already a layman, and it is estimated that it will be lost in a few years. ”
Then everyone talked about the merger again, and they all sighed that young Taoist priests rarely concentrate on Taoism, and even fewer have Huigen.
Senior Sister Xuanji asked me to take her to see our book collection, I looked at the master, and the master nodded, which was a promise.
When we came to the study, Senior Sister looked at the room full of books, and I said proudly, "Senior Sister Xuanji has never seen so many books, right?" ”
Senior Sister Xuanji sneered and said, "Just the books of our Liuliguan are ten times as many as here." Not to mention Zong Qingguan. ”
Sister Xuanji, flipping through the pages, didn't seem to be very interested in the books here, so she began to teach me how to read books quickly, and the senior sister said that you can't read books one by one, you just need to look at the table of contents, remember, and you can check things in the future.
I listened to the conversation between the master and the master last night, and I already guessed in my heart that the master could agree so readily, it is estimated that our collection of books here is also the books of ordinary Taoists, so I spend here every day to read, which is just an ordinary way to practice Taoism.
But this mysterious senior sister looks like she is only a few years older than me, and she shouldn't be as sophisticated as the master said, so she can't come here for some purpose, right?
I thought to myself that it would be better to play a clever trick and test her, so I asked, "Senior Sister Xuanji, can you see what kind of talisman my master gave me last night?" ”
Senior Sister looked at me, stunned, and asked, "Isn't it the talisman of your Louguan School?" ”
I didn't expect her to turn against me like this, so I said: "Actually, I only learned the Tao last year, there are so many talismans in the Louguan faction, I know everything, at present, the master only taught me the talisman seal to exorcise ghosts, and you have always said that the talisman of Louguan is powerful, and you are well-read, so I want to ask you, there are really so many types of Louguan's talismans, so powerful?" ”
Senior Sister Xuanji put down the book and said with a smile: "There are many talismans in the world, and your Louguan sect is also one of them, as long as the talismans of each faction are proficient, they are extremely powerful." Your Louguan school has been passed down for thousands of years, so it has a solid foundation and is very famous. It's just that... ”
I hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”
Senior Sister Xuanji said: "Good brother, let me tell you, you can't pass it on, what your master uses is not the talisman of your Louguan School at all, but the Taiping Dao." ”
It seemed that she really treated me like a child, and I continued to pretend to ask, "What is Taiping Dao?" ”
Senior Sister Xuanji walked to the bookshelf, found the Taiping Sutra in it, and said to me: "This is the Taiping Sutra, the Taiping Dao is a sect in the late Han Dynasty, the most powerful of which is the Yin and Yang Five Elements and Fu Seal. But then it died, and the real "Taiping Technique" has long been lost. Then she attached herself to my ear and whispered: "Actually, the purpose of our visit this time is not only to help you exorcise ghosts, but also to find the "Taiping Technique", because we heard that your Taoist people here saved a beggar in the city, and later we found the beggar, he remembered the general appearance of the Fu Seal, so we guessed that this is probably the lost "Taiping Technique". ”
I never expected her to say so much to me, could it be that in her heart, she really regarded me as a brother?
Then she said ashamedly: "Good brother, in fact, my sister deliberately didn't give you the insect repellent pill last night, just to force your master to use the talisman seal in the "Taiping Technique", although your Louguan faction also has stealth and other talismans in the history, but that has long been lost, if you master they really will, it proves that your Louguan faction has a very good inheritance, if they don't, you must know that there are many such talismans recorded in the "Taiping Technique", and they will definitely draw them for you." Saying that, Senior Sister Xuanji took my hand and said, "Good brother, I am not allowed to mention anything I say to you. I did these things because I was entrusted by my teacher and had no choice but to do so. ”
I thought to myself: Aren't you afraid that I won't keep my word and tell the master?
Senior Sister Xuanji then said to me: "Wait a minute, you tell your master, you go and return the saber, and then you take me, and say that I want to go with me to see the surrounding scenery." I'm going to go to the blind man's side to calculate a hexagram. ”
I'm a little confused, isn't there a fortune teller in your Taoist temple, do you have to come to our side to calculate?
Senior Sister Xuanji looked at me a little dumbfounded, and then said: "When you say that when you take me to see the scenery, Senior Brother Xuanming and they will definitely follow, and when you get out of Daoist Bay, you will pretend to pester me, and you must let me accompany you, and they must go somewhere else, because they have another purpose." ”
The more I talked, the more confused I became, I touched the back of my head, and I couldn't understand, aren't you all together, why do you want me to act?
Senior Sister Xuanji held my hands and said, "Good brother, although you don't understand, but you and your master are both because you are in the mountains, you are kind-hearted, and you don't understand many things outside, you must listen to me, I will never harm you and your master." ”
Looking at Senior Sister Xuanji's eyes, although I didn't know whether it was true or false, I still chose to believe her, so I walked to the hall and told the master according to Senior Sister Xuanji's meaning. The master promised, and sure enough, Daoist Zhang in the city proposed to let Senior Brother Xuan Ming and a few of them follow me to see the scenery around.
When we got out of Daoist Bay, Senior Brother Xuan Ming and they said that they would walk casually, so I pestered Senior Sister Xuanji, and Senior Sister also showed a very helpless look and followed me to Lao Zhangwan.
On the way, I asked Senior Sister Xuanji, what is the purpose of their coming?
Senior Sister Xuanji didn't want to answer, it seems that she chose to believe me while avoiding it, and the woman's heart really doesn't understand.
When I came to Zhangwan, Zhang Blind was basking in the sun, I returned the saber to my cousin, and my cousin poured tea for us, she thought that Senior Sister Xuanji was my senior sister, and thought it was my master's daughter.
Senior Sister Xuanji respectfully invited Zhang Blind to the hut next to her, let us avoid it, she wanted to tell Zhang Blind about his birthday, fortune telling.
After half an hour, Senior Sister Xuanji walked out with red eyes, greeted my cousin politely, and asked me to go back with her.
She walked in front, and I followed, without saying a word all the way. I also marveled in my heart that Senior Sister Xuanji has such a good memory, and she remembers everything after walking the road.
In the middle of the road in the mountains and forests, Senior Sister Xuanji suddenly turned around, and it was already pear blossoms with rain, hugged me, and cried loudly.
I was a little confused, what did the blind man tell her, she was so sad.
I hurriedly comforted her: "Blind Zhang's fortune-telling is not very accurate, and I used to say that I was a wife, but I was not afraid." ”
Senior Sister Xuanji just shook her head and cried, tears soaked in my neck, and my hair made my cheeks itch. I said a few words of reassurance, but to no avail, so I stopped talking, just patted her on the back lightly, which counted as comfort.
After a long time, Senior Sister Xuanji finally calmed down, no longer holding me, but holding my face, her eyes were already red from crying, and there were tear stains on her cheeks, and a few strands were sticking to it. She stared at me and said to me, "Good brother, you must work hard to practice Taoism, and you will definitely be able to save my sister in the future." ”
I just wanted to say that I had just cultivated the Tao, and I was just an ordinary little Taoist priest.
Before the words could be spoken, Senior Sister stared at me solemnly and said, "You have to cultivate seriously, because soon, someone will change your life for you at the cost of their lives." And you, after all, will become one of the brightest twin stars in the sky. ”
