Chapter 111 Lupine Scarf, Dressed in a Crane, Hexagram Immortal - Zhuge Kongming!
As long as you come from Guicheng to Xiangyang City, it is impossible not to see Yan Chixia.
There was a long queue at the gate of the city, not to queue up to enter the city, but with excellent eyesight and enough height, Du Kang could see at a glance that at the front of the line, Yan Chixia, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was drawing talismans.
"Eh, brother, I don't know what the talisman drawn by the Taoist in front of me is exquisite, why are so many people queuing?"
Du Kang pulled a passer-by and asked.
"Huh? It turned out that the Taoist priest was drawing talismans? I thought it was something new, and I walked away! The passers-by who were still in line with great interest were stunned, shook their heads, and left the team directly.
Du Kang: "......"
Feelings, you don't know what you're lining up at all, so you come to the queue!
When the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Du Kang suddenly remembered an interesting phenomenon - if a person suddenly stopped on the street and looked up at the sky, then the people next to him would basically do the same, and then more and more people would ...... So this phenomenon also applied in ancient times?
Shaking his head, Du Kang, of course, did not continue in line, but walked to the front until the front of the line. Yan Chixia, who was drawing talismans, raised her head, saw Du Kang, drew the talisman in her hand, stood up, and bowed to the people in line: "Poor Dao has something to do, I will come here today, and I hope you Haihan." ”
After that, without listening to the noisy reaction of the crowd, Yan Chixia packed up her things. A table, a wad of yellow paper, cinnabar and a pen, simply wrapped in cloth, were sent into a bag.
The efficiency is comparable to seeing the small stall vendors in the chengguan.
The table alone was one meter square, and the bag in Yan Chixia's hand was just the size of an ordinary-looking leather bag.
"Du Gongzi, please." Yan Chixia packed up her things and invited Du Kang.
Du Kang nodded, and left with Yan Chixia.
Du Kang's purpose here was originally to visit Yan Chixia's Taoist temple and his hexagram immortal master, so Yan Chixia took Du Kang directly to the outside of the city.
Thinking of Yan Chixia's hexagram immortal master, Du Kang couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Is Daoist Yan waiting for me outside this Xiangyang City on the orders of your master? This is also calculated in advance? ”
One thing to say, even Du Kang himself didn't know that he would go to Xiangyang City now, after all, he had experienced some things in the middle, and if he changed his mind, according to the original plan, Du Kang would have to spend a lot of time on the road.
Unexpectedly, even so, Yan Chixia was still waiting outside the city before he arrived, which made Du Kang inevitably curious.
Du Kang has not forgotten that when he discussed that he wanted to visit the Taoist temple and asked for the detailed address, Yan Chixia's sentence "Master will know it naturally when he says it" now seems to have a mysterious taste that belongs to "heavenly calculations".
"Oh, I just sent my senior brother back to the Taoist temple, and Master asked me to wait outside Xiangyang City."
Yan Chixia replied honestly, "Because the master didn't say what to do while waiting, I simply set up a stall in the same place to draw talismans, and there are quite a lot of people." ”
“???” Du Kang was stunned, "Then how long have you waited?" ”
"Maybe one day, two days." Yan Chixia thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, Du Gongzi came early." ”
Du Kang suddenly didn't know what to say...... Originally, he thought it was a hexagram fairy trick and calculated when he would come, but he didn't expect to directly let Yan Chixia squat!
I can't say that there is anything wrong with this method, but compared with the identity of the hexagram immortal, I always feel that something is not right.
"It's the mountain up ahead." Not long after walking with Du Kang, Yan Chixia pointed to a somewhat cloudy mountain in front of her and said.
Yan Chixia's Taoist temple, as he said, is on a mountain that is not well-known, and it is not very famous in itself. At least, when Du Kang checked the information in modern times, he did not find any famous Taoist temples in Xiangyang Longzhong, but only found a Wuhou Temple in Xiangyang Longzhong, which was the former residence of Zhuge Liang, the Marquis of Zhongwu.
"You also set up a formation on the mountain?" Du Kang used the spiritual eye technique to inspect the mountain, and immediately saw the various arrangements in it, which looked quite mysterious, like gossip, flowing endlessly, changing in thousands of ways, enveloping the entire mountain, making it impossible for people to directly see the true appearance of the mountain.
"Yes, because our Taoist temple is not open to the public, it must be guarded by a formation to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake." Yan Chixia nodded and said, "At the same time, it can be regarded as a test for us by the master, if the strength is not enough, we can't see through the formation and walk through it by ourselves, then there is no way to go down the mountain to practice." ”
"I see." Du Kang understood.
While talking, the two had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, only to see Yan Chixia take out a token, and a trace of spiritual power was stimulated on the token, which submerged into the mountain, and in an instant, in Du Kang's induction, the formation of the entire mountain began to change, giving people an extreme sense of collapse, as if the space was forcibly compressed.
The original mountain path began to change, gradually forming a short bluestone staircase, and the scene at the end of the staircase was completely different from before.
"Du Gongzi, please." Yan Chixia said, taking the lead in stepping on the bluestone steps, and as he stepped out, in Du Kang's induction, his actual position was instantly dozens or even hundreds of meters away from him.
"It's ...... Shrinking the ground into inches? Du Kang also stepped on the bluestone steps, because the spirit melted the leyline, the change of the actual location was particularly sensitive to Du Kang, and it also made him completely determine this phenomenon.
"Du Gongzi is really well-informed, this is the master's arrangement, as long as you access through this token, you can directly cross the formation and go straight to the Taoist temple." Yan Chixia replied.
"Oh...... Interesting, interesting. Du Kang raised his eyebrows and nodded, with the assistance of the Spirit Eye Technique, he basically understood the principles and arrangements. Just the ability to shrink the ground and integrate into the formation already made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
This is certainly not a stealing teacher, this is called enlightenment learning. Not everyone can see through the formation, learn the source, learn what you learn by your own ability, why is it called stealing?
Stepping over more than ten bluestone steps, Du Kang felt that his position had moved at least five or six hundred meters. After walking the steps and going up to the platform, Yan Chixia communicated with the token again, and the formation suddenly returned to its original state, and then looked behind her, the original bluestone steps suddenly twisted and turned, and its source was no longer visible.
Turning his head again, there is a quaint thatched house on the platform, which is not simple, and even because of its regular decoration, it gives people a sense of elegance and leisure.
Before Yan Chixia could speak, the door of the thatched house opened, and then a person walked out.
Du Kang fixed his eyes and saw that the man was eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a crane, holding a feather fan, delicate and elegant, fluttering like a fairy......
"Master." Yan Chixia's words made Du Kang subconsciously blurt out the sentence "Zhuge Liang" stiffly back.
Yan Chixia's master...... It shouldn't be Zhuge Liang, right?
But how does it look so similar? This dress, this temperament, it looks outrageous!
And it doesn't seem to be the location of the Wuhou Temple here?
"Chixia, I've worked hard for you, and let's see if your senior brother has finished copying today's Taoist scriptures, so don't be lazy." The hexagram fairy smiled slightly, nodded to Yan Chixia and finished speaking, and waited until Yan Chixia gave up her hand and left, then looked at Du Kang again and invited, "Brother Tai is here, please come into the house for a while." ”
“…… Good. ”
This sentence of "brother" made Du Kang suddenly remember the title from Guan Gong when he was performing the substitute shift for the first time a few days ago.
At that time, he naturally felt inexplicable and honestly afraid, but now that he has gone through so many things, Du Kang has a faint guess.
However, it is not too important, so Du Kang did not make a special trip to find the answer, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and when the time comes, he will naturally know.
Du Kang did not hesitate, and followed the hexagram immortal into the thatched house.
The thatched house looks small, but the space inside is quite spacious, probably after some formations and other blessings, to achieve the effect of internal space. However, at this time, Du Kang was not in the mood to pay attention to the principles of these formations, but focused his attention on the hexagram immortal in front of him.
"Brother, please take a seat." The hexagram took Du Kang to the couch and sat down, then picked up a pot of tea, poured it into the teacup that had been prepared, and the steaming hot tea fell into the cup in a wisp, but there was no splash in the middle, harmonious and natural, and the fragrance of the tea also diffused, making people feel peaceful.
"Knowing that Brother Tai is coming, I specially brewed some tea grown by myself, and the heat is just right, come, taste it."
"Okay, thank you...... I don't know what you call you? Du Kang picked up the tea, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't my outfit already quite obvious?" Hexagram Immortal was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile, "It seems that the time has not yet come." ”
“…… Kong Ming? Du Kang took a sip of tea, felt the fragrance of the tea spread on the tip of his tongue, and saw the hexagram nodding his head, which confirmed his guess, and asked, "What does it mean that the time has not come?" ”
"Doesn't Brother Tai already have the answer in his heart?" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and the feather fan shook lightly, "The time has not yet come, you can only understand, not speak." ”
"Tsk......" Du Kang shook his head, roughly understood what was going on, changed the subject and asked, "You are not in the Wuhou Temple, why are you here?" ”
"In the Wuhou Temple, people come and go, but my character likes to be quiet." Zhuge Liang also took a sip of tea and said with emotion, "Plant some things in this hill, teach some apprentices, and calculate hexagrams when you are idle, this kind of life is what I want......
"Don't you have to go to work?" Du Kang asked curiously.
Zhuge Liang's figure and actions were obviously stiffened: "Work...... Nature is to work, but you can't work all the time, you have to know how to combine work and rest. ”
"Oh, then you're skipping work now." Du Kang suddenly said, well, Zhongwu Hou doesn't have to go to work? Inexistent!
Brother Tai is still as sharp as ever...... But it's okay for us to be like this, Yun Chang is hard. Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I only need to occasionally calculate the hexagram here, and then let the apprentice do some things, and then I can be regarded as completing my duties, but Yun Chang, his personality makes him unable to learn from us, and he has more things to do." ”
"I've seen it before...... Yun Chang, he came up at that time and made a brother's voice, which scared me. Du Kang recalled the scene at that time, and took another sip of tea to suppress the shock, at that time he did not have the experience and strength he has now.
"Hahaha, no wonder, if it weren't for that, it would be my title today that scared my brother." Zhuge Liang smiled, "Sooner or later, there will be this time." ”
"That's what you counted?" Du Kang asked curiously.
"Of course not, brother's business, I can't count anything." Zhuge Liang shook his head very frankly and said, "It's just a reasonable guess." ”
"What does it mean to be nothing? Isn't it possible to divulge the secrets? Du Kang asked.
"How is it possible, there is no such thing as 'heaven cannot be revealed', what can be calculated can definitely be said, if it can't be calculated, that is, the ability is not enough," Zhuge Liang said, "However, in terms of my ability...... It should be that there is no heavenly machine, so it is not considered a brother. ”
"Sounds like a great thing." Du Kang raised an eyebrow.
"It's amazing." Zhuge Liang nodded, and said slowly and meaningfully, "If this is not the case, how can Brother Tai achieve his goal?" ”
There was a sudden silence in the thatched hut, except for the chirping of birds and insects in the mountains.
After a while, nothing happened, and Du Kang urged: "Go on, I'll wait, the Riddler is in a hurry to kill me." ”
"How do I know what the purpose of Brother Tai is? Brother Tai didn't tell me, and I can't figure it out. Zhuge Liang was very calm, "I still want to ask my brother if he can say it." ”
"I can't remember it either...... Maybe wait until later, are you sure you didn't lie to me? Du Kang first sighed helplessly, and then looked at Zhuge Liang with a suspicious gaze.
"Of course not, I never lie." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said firmly.
"I remember saying that, too." Du Kang was speechless.
"I learned it from my brother."
"The good don't learn the bad?"
"Brother Tai, don't talk about yourself like that, I'll be sorry."
After a battle of words, Du Kang finally gave up the idea of taking out some useful information from Zhuge Liang, but he felt that it was too much of a loss to only get this information that he had already guessed on this trip, so he held the mentality of trying it and asked: "Is there really nothing that can be calculated?" ”
“…… I've recently learned something new, and I can help my brother look at palmistry. Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "I should be able to help my brother take a look at the marriage." ”
"This is good, this is good!" Du Kang immediately handed his hand over, as a person who has been in the womb so far, he is also quite curious about this.
"Okay, let me take a look......" Zhuge Liang looked at it, and suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a while, he was full of hesitation.
"Your look makes me panic...... Is it not calculated, or is it not a good result? Du Kang couldn't help but ask.
"It's worked out, and the result is ...... How to say it, it's very good for my brother. Zhuge Liang said slowly.
"Then why are you so hesitant?"
"Because I've calculated that if I say it, there's a good chance I'll have a bloody disaster." Zhuge Liang said.
"What's the matter with me?" Du Kang blinked and asked confidently.
Zhuge Liang: "??? ”
