Chapter 17: The Taoist Priest Guides the Way
The Taoist priest opened his mouth and said to me: "In the middle of the night, there is a big incident. ”
The Taoist priest's voice was not very loud, and basically only I could hear it. I stared at the Taoist priest, and after a few seconds, I said to the Taoist priest, "Daoist, I don't understand what you mean. ”
I was getting a little nervous by now.
I haven't told anyone about the third watch in the middle of the night until now.
If Feng Feng didn't tell others, then only Feng Feng and I should know.
I stared at the Taoist priest in surprise, at this time my hand holding the red envelope froze, it was still early, but I felt a chill coming up behind me.
The two of us looked at each other, and the Taoist priest continued to say to me, "What does Poor Dao mean, you should know better than Poor Dao in your heart." ”
The Taoist priest spoke vaguely, as if he was talking to me.
I'm not stupid, he doesn't tell the story, I won't take the initiative to say it.
I shook my head.
The Taoist priest suddenly said to me, "I see that your Yin Hall is black, and I am afraid that something bad will happen." ”
My expression was a little solemn, in this ancestral hall, there are still many people walking around, some words can not be said, the Taoist priest seems to see it, so he said to me: "Little friend, take a step to speak." ”
I said okay.
We walked forward, and when we came to a place where there were few people, the Taoist priest took out a cigarette and lit it in front of me.
I was a little confused, and the Taoist priest smiled and said, "I'm sorry, little friend, I'm addicted to smoking, you don't mind, right?" ”
I:......
I thought to myself, is this Taoist priest reliable? I even smoke.
But he just said that my Yin Tang is black, which also makes me feel that he has some ability, although I can also look at the appearance myself, but you know, people who can look at the appearance will never show themselves the appearance, some things are taboo, once committed, I am afraid that there will be no chance of survival.
And I don't think that in this world, only I can look at faces.
So when the Taoist priest said that my Yin Tang was black, I didn't refute it myself.
I said to the Taoist priest, "Daoist, I don't mind, but I don't know what you just said. ”
When the Taoist priest saw that I said that he didn't mind, he began to swallow clouds and spit out a puff of smoke in front of me, and then said leisurely: "What Poor Dao said just now means that you ask Poor Dao to go back tonight, and Poor Dao can save your life." ”
"Really? Dao Chief, do you see something? ”
I asked suspiciously.
The Taoist chief pinched his fingers in front of me and calculated, and said, "I don't see it, but I calculate it." ”
He was holding a cigarette in his right hand, and he didn't have the appearance of the master just now, I muttered in my heart, I don't know whether to believe this Taoist priest, because the Taoist priest said that my Yintang is black, there is also a possibility, he is a liar, and now there are fake Taoist priests and the like, when I see others, the first opening sentence is that your Yintang is black, and there will be a catastrophe.
Maybe the Taoist priest saw that I didn't believe it, so he continued: "Xiaoyou, don't you believe what Poor Dao said, how about Poor Dao make a bet with you?" ”
I asked, "How to bet?" ”
The Taoist priest snuffed out the cigarette butt, looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said to me: "Little friend, it's half past one in the afternoon, right?" ”
I looked at my watch and found that it was half past one in the afternoon, I nodded, and the Taoist chief continued: "Poor Dao said that it will rain at three o'clock in the afternoon, do you believe it or not?" ”
I was stunned for a few seconds, at this time, the sun above the sky, my neck hurt a little, and the sun was shining, it didn't look like it would rain.
I stared at the Taoist priest and thought to myself that this Taoist priest was.
"What if it rains? What if it doesn't rain? I asked.
The Taoist priest said to me, "It's simple, if it rains, how about Xiaoyou agree to a condition for the poor Dao?" ”
"What if it doesn't rain?"
The Taoist priest said to me, "If it doesn't rain, if it doesn't rain, let's talk about it then." ”
I:......
I thought to myself, isn't this Taoist priest helpless?
I thought about it for a while, looked at the sky again, and thought to myself that I would win this gamble nine times out of ten, so I didn't have any fear, so I said, "Okay, but Dao Chief, if you win, you can't ask too much." ”
"Rest assured, the poor road is measured."
After I made a bet with the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall, saying that he was going to help surpass my little grandfather's soul.
I hummed, and saw the Taoist priest walking forward, I felt a burning sensation spreading all over my body, and I hurriedly walked towards a shady place, thinking, this kind of weather, if it rains, it will really hell.
After walking a few steps, I patted my head, how did I forget to look at the face of the Taoist priest just now.
Misstep, blunder!
I found my uncle, returned the red envelope to him, and told him that the Taoist priest would not accept the red envelope, and the uncle covered it for a few seconds and said, "Okay." ”
I took the red envelope back.
After I made a bet with the Taoist priest, I kept an eye on the weather until half past two in the afternoon, the weather was still very clear, I thought to myself, the Taoist priest must have lost, I walked towards the Taoist priest, I wanted him to come out to see if he had lost.
It's just that as soon as I turned around and entered the ancestral hall, I felt that the sky behind me was a little darker, and when I looked back, I found that the original sunny sky had become gloomy.
An old man from the village next to him said, "It looks like it's going to rain on this day." ”
I said, "Why, it's still the sun just now, how can it rain!" ”
The old man smiled and said, "I have been planting for decades, and I am most accurate to see the weather." ”
The Taoist priest was sitting inside smoking at this time, and when he saw me coming in, he said, "Little friend, did you come in and admit defeat?" ”
I shook my head and said, "Dao Chief, are you happy too early, it's not the last moment." ”
But as soon as I finished saying this, a cold wind suddenly blew in outside, and the sky outside suddenly became even darker, and after a while, thunder began to fall, and the thunder rolled and resounded through the clouds, and a lightning bolt soon passed by, but it had not yet rained.
When the Taoist priest saw that my face had changed, he said, "Little friend, don't worry, it won't rain yet, and it will be about ten minutes before three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
As soon as I heard this, I quickly looked at my watch and found that it was 2:45, and there were still fifteen minutes left.
When I looked at the Taoist priest again, my complexion changed completely, because I found that I could not see his face.
The Taoist priest got up leisurely and lit a cigarette for himself, until three o'clock, it finally rained heavily, and the sound of rattling fell into my ears, making me feel a burst of harshness, and he was actually right, I felt a wave in my heart, and even felt that this matter was a little incredible, because it was actually every second, a full three o'clock, this is definitely not accidental, nor can I guess correctly by experience.
This should be right, the Taoist priest in front of him should have great ability.
Maybe really is an outsider.
Just as I was looking at the heavy rain outside, the Taoist priest's hand suddenly touched his shoulder, patted it lightly, and said, "Xiaoyou, you lost." ”
I lost, but I lost convincingly, there is nothing to say.
I said to the Taoist priest, "Daoist, you can tell me, what conditions." ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Now is not the time to talk about conditions. ”
It was raining heavily outside, and everyone was afraid of being wet by the rain, so they entered the ancestral hall, and there were two Taoist priests and me.
"The most important thing now is to save your life, if someone who has just fallen in love with Poor Dao takes his life, it will be in vain."
I was stunned and stared at the Taoist priest, it seems that the Taoist priest knows that I am going to have an accident in the middle of the night tonight.
I asked tentatively, "Daoist, are you going to help me?" ”
The Taoist priest shook his head at me and said, "Poor Dao can't help you." ”
I:......
I was speechless for a while, this Taoist priest teased me, but it is understandable if he doesn't help me.
Seeing that I was a little disappointed, the Taoist priest said, "Although Poor Dao can't help you, you can help yourself, and Poor Dao tells me a way, if it's okay, it's okay to save yourself." ”
"How?"
"You go back at night, hang a white soul banner at the door, and then put some carrion at the door of the house, any carrion can be used, and then in the middle of the night, lie on the bed at home, and don't go anywhere."
"Can I sleep then?"
The Taoist priest rolled my eyes and said, "You are dying, can you still sleep?" ”
I think about it, I think what the Taoist priest said makes sense, I'm dying of everything, where do I still have the heart to sleep!
"Go back and prepare your things now, or you won't be able to find it later."
I think it is, especially that kind of carrion, which is more difficult to find, I took a white soul flag from the mourning hall and ran home, I now believe in the words of the Taoist priest, he basically said everything right.
Moreover......
I couldn't help but gasp when I thought of it.
I ran all the way home, got the white soul banner ready, and then put on a cloak to carrion the flesh, this, I really don't know where to find it?
Generally speaking, if there is any animal on the mountain that is dead, there may be rotten meat, but this will go up the mountain to find it, it is very troublesome, if you don't find it, you will be busy in vain, I sat at home and thought about it, the time was about four o'clock, I thought of the pork seller in the town.
I quickly went to town and found the owner who sold pork.
The boss asked me enthusiastically, buy meat! As soon as the boss heard that I wanted to buy carrion, his face turned bad and he said to me: "Boy, what do you mean, I am here to operate in good faith, and I sell good pork, are you here to smash the field?" ”
I quickly said no, and I explained it again, complimenting the boss a few words by the way.
The boss stared at me a few times and said, "It's really strange, it's the first time I've seen such a strange request, but you wait for me." ”
As he spoke, the boss turned around and went in, and took a piece of stinky meat to me, saying that he was going to throw it away, but I took it and opened it to look at it, and found that there were maggots crawling inside, which was very disgusting, and I almost didn't throw up.
I said thank you, and then I wanted to give the boss money, and the boss waved his hand and said forget it, but I still gave him ten dollars.
I turned around and walked home with my things, but I didn't expect to meet another person on the way home!
