It is said that one day, the king of Tang took a nap and met a person in his dream, and the golden helmet and golden armor came over. In front of King Tang, he made a deep sigh and said, "Your Majesty is doing lately?"

King Tang carefully examined the person who came, and it turned out to be Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo. Suddenly, he said: "Isn't Aiqing already dead?

Wei Guogong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised! Although Chenyang has reached the end of his life, God has seen that I have followed His Majesty and made meritorious deeds for all ages. I have already been recruited to heaven to receive the divine throne and be crowned Marshal of Tianpeng. ”

Tang Wang calmed down a little and said: "This is very good! Congratulations to the marshal!"

Li Jing smiled again: "It's good." It's just that the old minister has just ascended to the immortal throne, and firstly, there are many people who don't know the world; secondly, the temple of Marshal Tianpeng has been destroyed, and the incense is difficult to continue for a while. Therefore, the old minister thought, can Your Majesty remember the merits of the first generation of the minister, and add some incense to the old minister's temples? The old minister will feel His Majesty's holy grace!"

Tang Wang smiled: "Marshal rest assured. I immediately decreed such trivial matters. ”

That Wei Guogong thanked him again and again.

After a cool breeze, Tang Wang shivered and woke up. As if he felt that this dream was strange, he immediately announced that Zhang Muren, the chief supervisor of Qintian, and Ge Ran, the deputy supervisor, entered the palace.

King Tang sat in the imperial study and told the story of Wei Guogong's dream.

This Zhang Muren claims to be a descendant of Zhang Tianshi, and he has some old grudges with Wei Guogong. Immediately, he said: "Your Majesty, this dream must not be taken seriously. Throughout the ancient and modern immortals, Buddhas, Taoist temples, and temples are not the world's common people who appreciate the virtues of the immortals. If Your Majesty ignores the society because of a dream now, I am afraid that Your Majesty will lose its wisdom. ”

This Ge Ranhuai is a descendant of Ge Tianshi. Ge Ranhuai said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this Tianpeng Marshal Temple should be erected. First, it can show His Majesty's old kindness to the old ministers, and second, has Your Majesty forgotten the matter of the old dragon of Jinghe back then?"

After listening to Ge Ranhuai's performance, King Tang thought in his heart, "Back then, I also promised Jinghe Laolong to save his life, but he didn't do it, so he almost lost his own life." Now he has promised Wei Guogong again, and if it is not done, I don't know what will happen. ”

The Tang King had made up his mind, and ordered Ge Ranhuai, the deputy supervisor of Qintianjian, to be the main officer, and Zhang Muren, the supervisor, to be the supervisor. Tell the world, and order the state capitals to select feng shui treasures to build temples for Marshal Tianpeng.

It is said that Song Xiaoxiao has eaten an amazing amount of food since she was born, and she can eat seven or eight meals a day. Yuan Shoucheng didn't have much savings, and in less than a few months, he could only make a living by setting up stalls everywhere to tell fortunes.

Suddenly, one day, a group of officers and soldiers came to Wangxinglou, and a row of words "demolition" were posted on Yuan Shoucheng's Wangxinglou. drove Yuan Shoucheng and Song Xiaoxiao out. Then a notice was issued, "Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, has first ascended to the immortal throne." Now he is in charge of the Tianhe 8 million naval army and is the marshal of Tianpeng. His Majesty the King of Tang remembered his old kindness and built a temple for Li Weigong in the four seas. The feng shui treasures of the state capitals were selected for the purpose of building temples. A leading lieutenant threw Yuan Shoucheng a string of copper coins and said, "Old man, your local court has requisitioned it." These are the land requisition money that the imperial court has rewarded you. If there's anything else you can take with you, take it with you. After noon, the ground under the feet of the master, the building behind him. But it's all from the imperial court. If you don't leave, you will inevitably have to eat a board in the yamen. ”

A huge building was occupied by the government in a blink of an eye. Yuan Shoucheng had no choice but to lead Song Xiaoxiao to the Land Temple for shelter temporarily. The land lord was surprised: "Yuan Gong has always known the past and judged the future; How did you end up in such a field today?"

Yuan Shoucheng smiled bitterly: "Hey! Fifty years ago, I calculated that there would be a catastrophe today. I never thought that the changes in the hearts of people in this world are so unpredictable, and it is difficult to find a place in this prosperous world. Yuan Shoucheng looked at the sky again and said: "Calculate the time, it is not far from the catastrophe of heaven and earth, even the immortals are inescapable." ”

The land lord smiled: "I have seen a lot of the rise and fall of the world." I just don't know what the outcome of this catastrophe will be?"

Yuan Shoucheng said: "The reincarnation of heaven has its own fixed place, and the ending is naturally good. It's just that since it's a calamity, it's inevitable that the people in the world will suffer some hardship!"

The land is fair: "Let the rise and fall of the world go for the time being, but how can this child grow up, can Yuan Gong think about it?"

Yuan Shoucheng said: "I traveled all over the world a few years ago, and now it seems that I have to go again. ”

Song Xiaoxiao has only been born for half a year, and has slowly recovered from the size of a watermelon to the appearance of a thirteen-year-old girl. At this moment, he is selling fortune telling with Yuan Shoucheng on a lively small city street. A hexagram stall was set up in front of him, and a book was placed on the stall, saying, "A hexagram breaks the world and the world, and you know the past life in this life; Horizontal batch: Immortals show the way".

Song Xiaoxiao shouted, "The gods are fortune-telling, you can ask about fortune, future, marriage, and things you want to ask in the world; Come and take a look, don't ask for money. "While shouting and pulling people.

Suddenly, a group of public servants wearing boots and soap with the word 'Guancheng' printed on their clothes shouted, "Old man, have you gone to the government to apply for the certification documents?" Yuan Shoucheng asked with a blank face: "I set up a stall here thirty years ago, and I don't see any documents to prove it?" In view of your initial example, Master Ben will open the net and fine ten taels of silver!" Song Xiaoxiao shouted: "Old man, we haven't earned half a tael of silver in a few days. What should I do now?" Yuan Shoucheng smiled bitterly: "Girl, if you encounter some demons and monsters on weekdays, I am not afraid of thieves and robbers." It's just that the people I met today can't even help the gods. It seems that we can't escape the disaster of prison today!" Song Xiaoxiao was about to pack up his things and leave. Several city guards had already stepped forward to snatch the hexagram stall and said, "Old immortal, this son of heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Isn't this immortal guilty of breaking the law with the common people? Otherwise, we will open the net again today, and only accept five taels of silver, and you can leave. Otherwise, I'll take you to a cell now. Yuan Shoucheng said with a smile: "Official, this little old man's business is just a mess that can feed his two mouths, where is there any overnight silver." It seems that I have to go to the cell with the official for a few days. ”

Song Xiaoxiao and the others were imprisoned in a firewood room in the backyard of the yamen. Before anyone could enter, they smelled a foul smell. This is obviously a temporarily reconstructed cell, in which Da Lang, who sells cooking cakes, Zhang San, who sells meat, Li Si, who bakes sweet potatoes, Wang Wu, who picks dung, and even a group of people who ask for food called Huazi have been arrested. It is said that there is a big official in the capital who is coming to inspect. For the sake of public security and stability, people must go to the government to apply for certification documents before they can operate. Even shopping requires an official ID document.

The small firewood room was soon crowded with 100 people. Yuan Shoucheng and Song Xiaoxiao, the old and the young, were let into a fairly open place by the people in the cell, and they could barely squat down, while the others could only stand. An old man who was also sitting on the ground shouted: "Old immortal, come and sit here!" Yuan Shoucheng asked: "This old brother, how can there be so many businessmen here?" The old man sighed and said: "The old immortal doesn't know, and now the newly appointed prefect is the nephew of the Duke of Eguo and the son-in-law of the Duke of Weiguo. This person has always been greedy for money, lustful, cunning and robbing, and a common man. In plain life, these errands under his hands are just clever names to extort some money. In the past two days, I heard that there is a royal historian of the capital who is coming to inspect, and in order to show his political achievements, he arrested us small merchants and hawkers. Yuan Shoucheng said: "It seems that this inspecting imperial historian should be a good official." I happen to have some talismans here that can pass through the wall, so I might as well share them with everyone to escape from here tonight. Then go to the royal complaint. When they heard this, they were grateful. Yuan Shoucheng taught everyone how to use it, and said: "At three o'clock tomorrow, there will be a scholar riding a donkey passing through the east gate, and this person is the imperial history of the inspection. ”

When all the people have fled through the wall. Song Xiaoxiao said: "Old man, let's run quickly." ”

When I came to another street, I was suddenly staggered by a group of pedestrians in a hurry. An old man in the crowd was stopped by Song Xiaoxiao and said, "Old man, where are you going in the middle of the night?" The old man said: "Little girl, you don't know yet, the house in our city was expropriated by the government." Now housing prices are expensive and can't afford it. However, I heard that the 'Sanqingguan' outside the city has a good relationship and specializes in accepting us homeless people to take care of Guanzhongtian's property, so all the people and children went to run all the way. Hurry away, too. Don't go late, people won't accept it. ”

Song Xiaoxiao and the others followed everyone for about fifty miles, and the towering trees on both sides gradually seeped out a thick fog with a strong yin atmosphere.

Song Xiaoxiao asked, "Old man, why haven't you arrived yet?" The old man said, "It's fast, it's almost there!" ”

After a while, the old man told Song Xiaoxiao and the others: "The little girl has arrived in the ghost bamboo forest in front, but don't speak." If you alarm the ghosts and gods in the bamboo forest, you will be in trouble. Sure enough, a sea of bamboo appeared after a while. A bluestone paved road winds through it. The breeze blows through the bamboo forest, and the sound of rustling makes people's scalps tingle. The torches were blown to the ground of light and darkness. After two bends, a courtyard surrounded by a fence was brightly lit with several bamboo houses.

"Look, there's a house in front. Old man, are we here?" Song Xiaoxiao called happily.

Everyone stopped in unison and glared at Song Xiaoxiao like a fool. Sometimes I'm really afraid of something.

"Smack!" The door opened, and a woman in white floated out of the door and held a baby with both hands. He shouted at the crowd, "Who woke up my son?
