Just after Ma Yao packed his luggage and fled down the mountain, he found a problem: there was no money. This old monk originally had some savings, but after several years of profligacy, he had squandered more and less in and out.

At present, the outside world is in the stage of warlord scuffle, the price of goods rises several times a day, there is no unified law enforcement department, each region issues its own currency, and finally this currency can only be used in a relatively small range, and the last hard circulation currency is left silver dollars, gold bars.

And over the years, the warlords have been fighting, and all the gold bars and silver dollars have been used to buy weapons to arm themselves. How many silver dollars and gold bars are circulating in the market. Therefore, these ordinary people, like Ma Yao, are also in dire straits.

Ma Yao originally didn't have any big ideals, what to kill the rich and help the poor, the road was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, and my dreams of helping the people with blood had nothing to do with Ma Yao.

His greatest ideal: wandering. The world is so big, I want to see it. But in a chaotic and chaotic world, no matter how weak you are, how much you want to live a stable life. It's not easy.

And his master, Tianji Monk, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he plants shadows everywhere in the world, as if he has an ideal of dominating the world.

Fortunately, this ideal didn't last long, and he didn't have much longevity, so he handed over everything to Ma Yao and went out to have a good time. Ma Yao didn't bother to care about these things.

He is a man who sees the world with a cold eye. No matter how chaotic it is outside, I don't get distracted. And for a long time, I have lived with a master who can flicker, and this flickering ability is also a little.

Monks and Taoists are considered dispensable professions in the world, and they are almost useless in the Taiping period, but they are different during the warlord melee.

The big and small warlords in the world, the big warlords eat the small warlords, and as a result, all that is left is equal, and it is difficult to win if this is equal. At this time, the psychology of the warlord's leader began to have some unrealistic thoughts: pray to God.

Therefore, after Ma Yao came down the mountain, he started the business that monks and Taoists should do: fortune-telling and practice. Ma Yao's fortune telling is different from others, and other people's fortune telling will also measure the bad luck and ask for peace.

Ma Yao's brand reads: Change your life against the sky. Like his master Tianji Monk, his breath is amazing.

And Ma Yao has a characteristic: never soliciting. Many stall tellers will try their best to sell themselves when they see visitors, but Ma Yao never dozes off with his eyes closed.

Therefore, he receives all big customers, customers such as local warlord leaders, and when there is a war, these leaders will send people to ask for good luck, when to send troops, and where to set up formations, all of which need to be inquired.

Everyone who came was shocked by the signboard of the horse, and then invited the horse to go like a great god. In metaphysics, the emphasis is on balance, and if this person's personality is changed, there must be another person's personality changed in the opposite direction.

This battle is exactly in line with the transfer of fate, and if you win, it is at the expense of someone else's defeat. Although this old monk is not very reliable, this trail is still quite powerful.

Generally, the warlords who have gone through the Ma Ya method will not be defeated once, and many people regard the Ma Yao as a fairy, and the Ma Ya charges are ridiculously expensive. This horse is very famous among the warlords.

Many marshals wanted to ask Ma Yao to be a military advisor, but Ma Yao refused, and left after finishing the law and taking the gold bar. After these two years, Ma Yao's worth has almost become a big one. Quite rich.

Then Ma Yao kept changing places to set up stalls, playing while walking, and began his dream of wandering.

The Dongxuan Temple where Ma Yao originally practiced was in a deep mountain called Longhu Mountain. It's quite remote, not to mention an outsider, even Ma Yao sometimes can't find a home.

On this day, a young man appeared on the rugged mountain road of Longhu Mountain, the young man was dressed in casual clothes, with short hair, a good appearance, bright eyes, tall and thin.

The young man's face was full of anxiety, trying to find something. At this time, when the young man saw a woodcutter, he stopped the woodcutter and asked for directions: "May I ask the uncle, where is the Dongxuan Temple in Longhu Mountain?"

The old woodcutter seemed to have bad ears, and the young man asked loudly when he saw this, and then the old woodcutter looked at the young man like a monster and said, "I have never heard of such a temple in my decades of living in this mountain." ”

The young man's psychology was cool and cool, and he watched the figure of the old man gradually move away in confusion. Looking up at the sky, dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and heavy rain was coming, so the young man looked around, looking for a place to take refuge from the rain.

But the surrounding forest is deep, and there is a place to shelter from the rain.

The rain in the mountains will rain as soon as it is said, and it will rain heavily after a while. The young man raised his leather bag and put it on his head, looking around for a place where the rain was a little lighter, and the place where the rain was less must have been under a big tree or a bush.

The young man panicked, stumbled on a steep slope and rolled down the hillside.

When the young man was rolling, he stood up and shook his head vigorously, and after calming down, he found that he was at the bottom of a valley, and the square garden at the bottom of this valley was four or five miles.

The grass was green, and it was almost the same length, and it was clear that someone had repaired it. The young man walked a few steps at the bottom of the valley and found a cave.

This cave has been modified, the entrance of the cave is built with wood to build an eaves, it looks like a house, the log-colored gate, the door is nailed with round nails, a pair of door knockers are touched and smooth, look up, the door edge is written: Dongxuan Temple.

The young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to call the door: "Master, the old man is visiting. After several shouts, but no one answered, the young man pushed the door so hard that he almost fell into the door, because it was not closed at all.

Inside the door is a big cave, and then there are seven or eight small caves around, the big cave is naturally formed, and the artificial traces of the small cave are very strong, which should be another ear hole dug later.

The young man looked at the ear piercings one by one, there was a kitchen, a meditation room, a Dan room, a practice room, although the sparrows were small, they were complete. The young man touched the dust on the stone table, and his hands were covered with a thin layer of ash, this temple has not been inhabited for a long time.

The young man's face was full of anxiety, but he was also helpless, the rain outside the cave was heavy, and the young man could only sit on a meditating futon when he was bored and wait for the rain to stop, and was suddenly attracted by a painting in front of the futon.

Because this painting is the appearance of this valley, it is strange that it is also raining in this painting.

It is not surprising if it is just a painting of a mountain stream in the rain, but it is strange that when the young man stood up and took a closer look, a sentence appeared on the painting: If you want to find yourself, the City God Temple in Tongjiang City.

This word is about to appear. The young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the cave, not caring that it was raining outside, so he immediately went out of the mountain, and then hired a carriage and went straight to the Yangtze River.

What the young man didn't know was that a few days ago, what was written on this painting was to find himself, Lu Shuai's Mansion in Xishan City. This is a message. Ma Yao left a message for those who were looking for him.

The young man boarded the ferry boat to Jiangbei, got off the boat and asked the shipowner, and took a yellow croaker car and went straight to the Chenghuang Temple.

After asking the host of the City God Temple, the host's head shook like a rattle, we don't have this monk here, the monks who come to us are all true monks with a degree, and our temple does not accept this fake monk.

The young man found a circle but didn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to go out.

Outside the gate of the City God Temple, a bald monk attracted the attention of young people, this monk has thin eyebrows and deep eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and his eyes are slightly closed.

A black hunting suit, reddish skin, may be related to the open sun, there is no sense of wind and dust on the body, and he does not do business when he sees pilgrims. It's Ma Yao.

The young man walked up to Ma Yao, squatted down, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask, but Master Ma Yao?" Ma Yao's eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the young man, and this glance fell directly into the young man's heart, giving people a shocking feeling.

Ma Yao looked at the young man and said softly: "Change your life against the sky, ten yellow croaker." In the dismount. ”

As soon as the young man listened to the sound of the horse, all the noise around him seemed to disappear suddenly, and the fatigue of the days suddenly relaxed at this moment, and his body suddenly became tired.

Hurriedly bowed to Ma Yao and said: "I, Zhou Yu, am a colleague and friend of the Guan Ming brothers, please master save our whole family." Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Ma Yao asked strangely: "What's wrong with Guan Ming?" This Guan Ming is a traveling Taoist priest, and he has a lot of experience in exorcism and inviting gods to see feng shui and other paths, I don't know how to find Dongxuan Temple, and then talk to Ma Yao, Ma Ming showed his hand and shocked Guan Ming.

On this day, he pestered Ma Yao every day to worship Ma Yao as a teacher, and this Ma Yao was entangled in a helpless way, so he reluctantly taught Guan Ming a few shallow Taoism. It's the old man of the horse.
