In Daming Prefecture, the "Mr. Dongguo" who set up a fortune-telling stall at the root of the Dongcheng city wall has a good business, and there are many more people who are willing to pay a few more sons to beg for a lip in the New Year.

When he was about to close the stall, "Mr. Dongguo" felt something, so he calculated it himself.

"Really...... It's unbelievable. ”

Wiping his goatee, "Mr. Dongguo" was very emotional, "It's really indomitable, saying that going forward is going forward, never going back." actually forced all the innate gods away, amazing, really powerful. ”

After that, "Mr. Dongguo" hurriedly closed the stall and was about to leave, but saw a middle-aged man full of heaven and extraordinary temperament, and walked straight towards him, and when he arrived at the stall, the middle-aged man saluted directly, and then said sincerely: "Where is Mr. going?" ”

"It's time to close the stall below, if you want to do a fortune divination, wait until tomorrow to come back."

Just looked at the middle-aged man in the eye, "Mr. Dongguo" just shook his face, and he couldn't wait to smear oil on the soles of his feet immediately.

This middle-aged man is dressed in a gorgeous suit, wears a crown of five virtues, and wears a long sword at his waist, even if there is no retinue on the left and right, he does not look like an idle person.

Stretched out his hand to stop "Mr. Dongguo", this person's eyes were resolute and sincere, "Sir, please help me calculate a hexagram, right?" ”

Looking at the arm that stopped in front of him, "Mr. Dongguo" glanced at it and saw that this arm was wrapped in gold and silver armor leaves, and it was indescribably shining.

When others saw it, they just thought that they had money and nowhere to call, so they put a gold and silver arm guard on one of their arms, which also showed their strength and identity.

However, "Mr. Dongguo" knew that there was no arm in this gold and silver armband.

At least, the palm, although it moves, is fake.

"Venerable guest, in fact, it is useless to find a fortune telling."

"Sir can know the good and the bad, if you can help me to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, there will be a great reward."

"How can you know what blessings and misfortunes are below, just pick some words that ordinary people see but don't know, if you can really know the blessings and misfortunes, how can you set up a stall here to make a living?"

"How can the gentleman calculate a hexagram for me?"

"Alas...... But when a prince comes, the poor road is actually not counted. If it's good, it's naturally good; It's not good, the disaster of killing is not far away......"

Knowing that the comer was stubborn, "Mr. Dongguo" said solemnly, "Honorable guest, even if you know the blessings and misfortunes, you can really seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?" The so-called benefits and disadvantages may be beneficial for a while, but they may be harmful for a long time, and there is no conclusive conclusion. ”

“……”

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was thoughtful, sighed, and arched his hand at "Mr. Dongguo", "It's me who embarrass Mr." ”

"Well said."

Holding his fists and arching his hands, "Mr. Dongguo" breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the middle-aged man's lonely face, he thought about it, walked out a few steps and turned back and said: "Venerable guest, don't you hear that 'the bell must be tied to the bell'?" Poor Dao heard that there is a person recently, very upholds morality, this person has clear grievances, rewards and punishments, after hearing that the demon king of Vaud has killed the people, he will break it into thousands of pieces, and then the underworld will suffer for tens of thousands of years......"

After a pause, seeing the middle-aged man's expression moving slightly, he continued, "But the demon king of Vaud has the merit of rescue, so there is a party of people who are also offering its incense, and it is destined to become a god in the future, and after a sentence of tens of thousands of years." ”

"What if the sin is greater than that of the Demon King?"

"That's hard to say."

The conversation stopped, and there was no further chat, "Mr. Dongguo" held the magic flag, found a wine shop, ordered a plate of fennel beans, salted boiled bamboo shoots, and warmed a bowl of wine, which was enjoyed deliciously.

As for the middle-aged man, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

In the wine shop, "Mr. Dongguo" was the only one who was wearing a long shirt but standing and drinking, he took fennel beans and chewed them in his mouth, pondering while eating: Wei Elephant is not a chance for everyone to reform himself, he now even dares to suppress and expel the innate gods, and he is afraid that he will let the immortals bleed one by one, and he will not frown.

"This Damingzhou, mix it up for a while, and then let's go."

"Dongguo Lao'er, you swindled a sum of money for wine again today, right?"

"Divination, divination, not swagger......"

Some diners in the restaurant took "Mr. Dongguo" to find fun, raised a glass and teased him, but "Mr. Dongguo" was anxious, and muttered words such as "Qimen Dunjia" and "Five Elements Gossip", which made the diners extremely happy, so it was customary to add a plate of fennel beans to him, as well as a pot of loose wine.

got fennel beans and loose wine, "Mr. Dongguo" grinned, quickly called the shopkeeper who ran the hall, and then said: "I haven't touched this fennel bean and wine, I will return first, and I will order it next time." ”

“……”

The shopkeeper gave him a disdainful look, but in the end he still recruited.

"Mr. Dongguo", who picked up a meal in vain, was beautiful, and the wine in his hand tasted even more energetic.

It was night, the usual night to watch the sky, in the stable of a big car shop in the city, "Mr. Dongguo" glanced at the celestial phenomena, holding a piece of animal skin, the animal skin is a star map, after the comparison, he was stunned: "Into the mother, why is there an extra dog star?" ”

I touched my head, but I couldn't figure it out.

According to the changes in this dog star, weak is weaker, but it is very dog, always following a fierce star to fool around, and the stars around it are gradually stolen by it.

"Hmm......"

After thinking about it, "Mr. Dongguo" took it out of his arms again, and took out a booklet, the cover text was simple and rude - "Several Tests of Innate Gods".

After turning over for a long time, he finally confirmed one thing, he had never seen an innate god related to the stars.

"The 'Three Strange Stones' correspond to the 'Sun God Lord', 'Taiyin God Lord' and 'Star God Lord', but the 'Star God Lord' has never been born......"

After pondering for a while, some couldn't figure it out, lying in the stable, looking up at the starry sky, in the middle of the night of the first month, it was still very cold, afraid of being frozen to death, so I quickly hugged some more hay on my body, so I slept comfortably.

The next day, "Mr. Dongguo", who was completely sloppy and sloppy, looked more elegant at this time.

I haven't eaten breakfast yet, but don't panic, "Mr. Dongguo" has his own clever plan.

I spotted a bun shop, and saw him come forward with a smile on his face and say hello: "Boss, do you have a hexagram for you?" ”

"Get out!"

"Okay."

"Mr. Dongguo" hurriedly turned around, and then asked the diners in line one by one: "Count a hexagram?" ”

When the diners saw that he was sloppy, they quickly covered their mouths and noses to avoid it, lest they be polluted by this sloppy Taoist.

After only a while, most of the diners dispersed, and the owner of the bun shop suddenly became anxious, stomped his feet and scolded: "Stinky food, get out-"

"You boss, you do business, I do business. You sell your buns, I count my hexagram, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is not tossed in your shop, this roadside solicitation of business, isn't it normal......"

"Lao Tzu ...... today"

"The owner of Li Ji's bun shop has beaten someone-"

"Shut up!! Give you money and you'll leave—"

The boss quickly took out twenty copper plates and stuffed them.

"Ten buns."

“……”

was so angry that he wanted to hack to death this stinky old Taoist priest, but the owner of the steamed bun shop still endured it, wrapped ten steamed buns with dried lotus leaves, and handed them to "Mr. Dongguo".

"Thank you, thank you, thank you boss for your kindness......"

After eating, he burped, he shook his head and took it out of his arms, and walked to the bun shop with a smile.

The boss was furious at that time, and was about to pick up the kitchen knife from the stove and wave it twice, but saw "Mr. Dongguo" touch out two paintings, one is a frontal portrait of the character, and the other is a portrait of the character turning his back and turning his head, but no matter which painting it is, it is majestic, as if the character is going to jump out of the painting and fight.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Hey, hey, it's me who didn't eat your buns for nothing......"

Finger tapped the boss, "Mr. Dongguo" walked to the door, directly pasted the two paintings, and then said, "Boss, if there is any difficulty at home in the future, put eyes on these two paintings, and ensure that you turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into safety." ”

The smiling "Mr. Dongguo" nodded at the boss, then hummed a little song and walked away.

"This stinky person wants to eat, isn't he stepping on an idea to rob my house?"

"You rammer, you bun seller, what are you robbing you of? Is it to draw your buns, or to draw the posture of the old lady? ”

The cook and proprietress who was busy in the stove, holding a rolling pin and crossing the waist of the bucket, glared angrily like a dominatrix.

"Lady, lady, I'll just say that, just say that......"

repeatedly asked for mercy, the husband and wife walked to the door, and many neighbors came to watch.

"Who is this?"

"How can you have no eyes?"

"Why don't you order it? Boss Li, take a pen and give this person a spot. ”

"Click! I am in charge of being a man, making steamed buns is real, this is the guidance of the masters, what do you know! ”

The proprietress stood at the door with her waist crossed, and directly blasted the onlookers away, then turned her head to look at the door of her house, and saw that the macho man in the painting was indeed mighty and majestic, and said to her husband with disdain: "Look at you, look at this man again......"

"What? You still want to steal men like this? ”

The owner of the bun shop looked at his wife with even more contempt.

"What do you say?!"

"How can anyone talk about me and not yours?"

The boss looked aggrieved, still a little stubborn, and then stared at the portrait on the door, and felt that the macho man on the painting really looked like he was about to jump out of it.

With this feeling, the boss secretly thought in his heart: Maybe it's really a thing to exorcise evil spirits, so it's better to keep it and not reveal it.

It's just that after an hour, a few wealthy businessmen heard about it, went straight to Li Ji's bun shop, found the portrait, immediately looked at it carefully, and asked the attaché who brought it to check it carefully.

After the respective attachés nodded their heads again and again, these wealthy businessmen immediately found Boss Li, who was sleeping soundly in the shop.

"Boss Li, there is a deal below, I want to talk to Boss Li in detail, I don't know if I can appreciate my face?"

"Boss Li, I don't have so many twists and turns, just one thing, your two gates, even the door with paintings, a price, five thousand taels!"

"Five thousand taels to buy your grave, five thousand taels who are you pitting? I'll give 30,000 taels! ”

"Is there such a price increase as you?"

"Yes, that's how the price of our money bank has risen, starting from six times, and there is no upper limit."

"Okay, accompaniment. 180,000 taels. I don't have much money as a salt seller, but it is not difficult to pay more than 100,000 or 200,000 taels. ”

"Join the mother, Lao Tzu hasn't started talking yet, so you will raise the price to 180,000 taels?!"

The wealthy businessman who didn't have time to speak looked confused, he didn't say anything when he entered the door, three sentences, three hundred thousand taels for two doors.

If you want to ease your emotions, the price has reached 180,000 taels.

And in the bun shop where he slept heavily, Boss Li's face shook, what happened?!

Are these guys here to have fun with themselves?

Are you dreaming?!

No, he knows a few people in front of him, and he has seen them from afar, they are all wealthy businessmen in Damingzhou, not like they are pretending.

The clothes are not bad, and the entourage around him is dressed decently.

As for the sachet on someone else's waist, the beads hanging on it, I'm afraid it's no problem if he doesn't lay out his buns.

The kind that is packed together in the front store and backyard.

This liveliness completely alarmed the neighborhood.

The good deeds finally came to see the excitement, and everyone talked about it, and the latecomers learned that this group of the richest people in Daming Prefecture actually went to Li Ji Bun Shop to buy two doors in person.

"Boss Li's door must have used good materials, otherwise so many rich people will fight for it?"

"Maybe it's some kind of precious wood, Boss Li is sending it."

"Didn't you say buy paintings?"

"What kind of painting, talking about the door, has something to do with the painting?"

For a time, Li Ji Bun Shop was even more popular when there was no business for the first time than when the business was hot.

What's even more outrageous is that the five wealthy businessmen all brought deposits.

The deposit is a carriage of cash silver, pure snowflake silver, at a glance, it is in good condition or cast last year, which shocked the audience.

One was a big cart that drove two boxes of gold, the gold was bright and bright, and they were all gold cakes the size of buns, which was really eye-opening.

One is a cornucopia made of pearl agate, and went straight to the shop of Li Ji Bun Shop, and suddenly saw the light, and it was jeweled at that time.

One is lined up with silk and satin, the silk face is like a mirror, smooth and matchless, such a material, ordinary people have never heard of it, he has seen it with his own eyes.

There is another one, which is a little more low-key than the previous ones, with only two pieces of paper, one is the deed of the capital Xiayi, and the other is the local Dongcheng courtyard of Damingzhou......

Such a big movement alarmed the officials of the Daming Prefecture capital.

In the government office, Zhizhou asked the staff and asked why there was such a big movement.

"Ming Mansion, it's a few wealthy businessmen who want to compete for two paintings."

"But the hand of a master?"

"No, it's just a normal craftsman's hand."

"Why then?"

"These two paintings, called 'Red Hero Statue', have the effect of exorcising demons and driving away evil spirits."

"What?!"

Hearing that it was the "Red Hero Statue", Zhizhou's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Come on, please invite the local 'real person' to come!" ”

"This ...... Mingfu, but what has changed? ”

"What do you know......

Zhizhou's expression was solemn, "There are many warlocks employed in the wealthy merchants, and when the country was prosperous in the past, it was useless. Now...... Naturally, there is a place for it. ”

With a worried tone, Zhizhou continued: "There are some things that you don't actually know the truth. But since I mentioned it today, I might as well talk about it. ”

"The natural disasters that Dachao Prefecture encountered, among them...... There are ghosts and gods. If it weren't for Wei Chixia of Beiyang Mansion to come forward, in fact, the people of Dachao Prefecture would not have survived. ”

"Huh?! This ......"

The DPRK and China were silent about this matter, and they also quietly rewarded Wei Chixia, and it was inconvenient to inform the Quartet. Therefore, truth and rumors are intertwined, and ordinary people have no way to tell the truth. But now that the 'Red Hero Statue' has appeared in my Daming Prefecture and is sought after by wealthy businessmen, what does it mean, do you know? ”

"Is the 'Red Hero Statue' really powerful?"

"Whether there is power or not, that's someone else's business. For local officials like us, isn't it possible that there may be a catastrophe in the local area? ”

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, a spirit, the subordinate officials immediately reacted, this is indeed the case, if it is not for refuge and disaster, who will compete for a painting?

Onigiri Exploration Book

Those wealthy businessmen, could it be the charlatans beside them, what kind of catastrophe did they calculate? !

Not long after, many demon exterminators from Daming Prefecture arrived at the state capital, and the local "real people" had solemn faces, stepped in, and went straight to find the governor of Daming Prefecture......
