Under the big peach tree in Peach Tree Lane, I don't know when an old Taoist with a fortune-telling stall came, wearing a Wuyue Spirit Diagram crown, wearing a robe, and a fluttering white beard, but there was a bit of the dusty charm of the fairy wind bones.

Since one of the three major Taoist systems, an ancestor of Xuandu Mountain Tianzong served as the Great Qianqin Heavenly Supervisor and National Teacher, the status of the Taoist in Yujing City has reached a higher level, but the supervisor often takes "the heart of a true person, like a pearl in the abyss; The heart of a mediocre person is like soaking in water" to warn the Taoist priests in the city. Yujing City's attitude towards Taoists has always been very good.

Most of the people in the nearby alleys have gone to the side of the heavenly street to wait to see the lightship flower building, Lao Dao's business is a little bleak, drinking wine under the peach tree sighing, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, chanted:

"I have three treasures, I can't see fame, I can't get drunk with wine, and I can't forget my wife. Immortals also have red dust disturbances. The emperor also sought a dream of eternal life, the loess was plucked, the tomb had no monument, and he came and went in the world. How? Drunk in the morning, singing every night, at ease..."

Shang Qing is still wearing that Tianshui blue robe today, with a white brocade belt tied around his waist, but it is a pity that the green jade unicorn pattern jade pendant is gone.

And Shang Xiaoxiao beside him was a rare and careful dress, she was wearing a Lingyun Suxue Qianshui skirt, swaying slightly, and her hair bun was dotted with a Lingling dotted green grass head insect beaded silver hairpin, slightly powdered, fresh and refined, completely showing the youthful and lively beauty of this age.

Lao Dao saw the young man and girl walking in front of the stall, and hurriedly greeted:

"Young man, don't miss it when you pass by, as long as you draw a lot, the poor road will count a hexagram for you, which can help you predict good fortune and misfortune, marriage and money."

Shang Qing waved his hand, but Shang Xiaoxiao stopped and said, "Dao Chief, the song you sang just now is very good!" Can you teach me? ”

The old Taoist priest sitting behind the stall immediately straightened his waist, twisted the snow-white beard under his chin, and said:

"Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, the feathers are well-dressed, the phoenix and the crane are controlled, the magic is vast, and the immortality is free. However, the way of heaven cannot be deceived, you must know that there are thousands of things in this world, only the avenue is rare, the wealth is difficult to give up, and the mundane is unforgettable.

Female donor, the poor road will make an exception today, as long as you draw a lot, you will only be charged five cents. If you draw out the lottery, you might as well add an extra penny, and the song of Poor Dao will also be taught to you, how about it? ”

In Ping'anfang, whenever you encounter a festival, there will be a Taoist person appearing, setting up a stall, face-to-face, unsigning, touching bones, fortune measurement, drawing talismans, people in order to please a good fortune, spend a few copper plates, is also willing.

If you really encounter a person who pretends to be a ghost and cheats and abducts, you only need to go to Qin Tianjian and say it, and someone will come forward to clean it up.

The brother and sister sat opposite Lao Dao.

The Taoist smiled and stretched out his shriveled dry hand and motioned for the girl to pick up the sticker. The girl did not stretch out her hand, but poked her head out and said:

"Dao Chief, I don't ask for money, I don't ask for good luck, I help my brother ask for a marriage sign."

The girl paused, then continued, "If you are right, I will give the Taoist ten copper coins." ”

Lao Dao looked at Shang Qing, smiled, motioned for him to pick up the sticker, and said:

"Marriage is fate, believe or not believe in your heart, the son can only draw a lot as he likes."

The girl also helped: "Brother, try it!" ”

The young man had no choice but to pick up the stick holder and shake it at will, a bamboo stick fell out of the stick, Lao Dao picked up the stick, and read:

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman.

Childe, this is signed, Daji! When the peach blossoms bloom, the son can meet the peach blossoms and get married, which is gratifying! ”

The girl happily took out ten copper coins, and Lao Dao took out a roll of withered yellow bamboo slips from under the stall and handed it to the girl, and said with a smile: "Female donor, it's yours." ”

When the boy and girl left, Lao Dao reached out and hugged the ten copper coins in front of him and put them on.

Then he quickly put away the stall, slowly tidied up his old clothes, straightened his head, and then got up and bowed to the big peach tree.

Then he turned and entered Peachtree Alley, and disappeared into the night in the alley in the blink of an eye.

Shang Qing took his sister out of Ping'an Fang, and the street in front of the square was suddenly a lot more lively, and there was a teahouse called Tingfeng Lou not far away, and there were bursts of cheers at this time.

The teahouse is not big, but you can hear all kinds of news here. Fairies and ghosts, court affairs, grievances and hatreds, boudoir anecdotes, everything.

"In the sixth year of Tianfu, the national teacher watched the sky at night, and there was a glow into Ziwei. The glow of fire is detached from chaos. Flower Dynasty, the imperial concubine died. ”

"Gongzi Feng announced the world's four major lists in Qingping Lefang, which caused the rivers and lakes to surge, and Wei Qiansi's black rode out of Yujing and stepped on the rivers and lakes again."

"On the ninth floor of the Red Mansion of Yanyu Mansion, a portrait of a peerless beauty has been added, and the poet and sword fairy appeared in the building, and it was three days before he came out."

"The daughter of Cui's Mansion in Fengyi Fang, Chengxi, eloped with a candidate who failed the list, and the old lady of Cui's Mansion didn't swallow it in one breath, but she actually drove the crane to the west."

In short, here, you can stay for half a day with nothing to do.

As soon as the brother and sister entered the building, they heard a startling sound.

Syllable!

A middle-aged storyteller dressed in a cyan robe began to tell the story slowly.

"The ranking officer, said last time, five hundred years ago, Tianzong Cave Xuanchu went down the mountain, traveled through the injustices of the world, and practiced chivalry to eliminate evil, but he was missing a weapon to take advantage of.

Getting back to business, the book picks up.

On that day, Dong Xuan Zhenren occasionally obtained a piece of Outer Heaven Divine Stone, which could cast a peerless divine sword. So after more than ten years, he took the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing in the north, the pure gold of the Buddha Kingdom in the west, the wood of Bai Ze in the east, and the inextinguishable fire in the south, and returned to the Xuandu Mountain of Daomen Tianzong, and opened the furnace to cast the sword.

The sword embryo absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon every day, and the rolling thunder tempers it, and after nine hundred and eighty-one years, this sword is finally formed. When the sword was completed, dozens of golden thunderbolts actually descended from the vault, and the golden thunder had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, which was extremely terrifying. In just a few breaths, all those golden thunderbolts fell around this sword, and in an instant, the earth shook, the mountains collapsed, and countless dust flew into the sky, and the heavens and the earth were eclipsed.

Rank, this is the legendary heavenly punishment. There is a way that real gold is not afraid of the fire of the red furnace, what is the ability of the heavenly thunder to withstand the sword? After the thunder passed, the Excalibur was not damaged in the slightest. Seeing that the divine sword was unharmed, the heavens refused to give up.

Then something even more terrifying appeared, above the dome, at the end of those golden thunders, there were dozens of heavenly soldiers and generals wearing gold armor and holding golden guns, all of them were 100 zhang tall and 100 zhang wide, and the immortals were majestic, looking at the world like ants.

One day, the soldier shouted loudly: Er is a mortal, what merit does he have to receive this divine sword? Don't hand it over quickly, God has the virtue of a good life, but Rao Er will not die!

What kind of person is that cave Xuan Zhenren, the head of the Heavenly Sect, and his cultivation is already thorough and unfathomable.

What about the Heavenly Soldiers? Since the sword slashed it.

In that battle, Dong Xuan Zhenren killed the heavenly soldiers and generals with one person and one sword, threw away their armor, hugged their heads and ran away, collapsed into an army, and cried for their father and mother.

I heard that since then, no immortals in the sky dare to come to the world, and the gate of heaven has been cut off. It can be said that there is me Zhao Dongxuan in the world, let me ask the immortals in the sky? Who dares to come to this world!

A hundred years later, the demon emperor in the million mountains suddenly broke the ancient seal and led the demon army out of the mountain, and the human race was defeated by the demon clan.

If you want to know what the follow-up will be, you will be listed as an official, and listen to the next detail..."

Bang bang bang ~ There was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone enjoyed listening to this story.

When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and all living beings are happy to do this. After all, "being a human wants to become an immortal, sitting on the ground and wanting to go to heaven", who doesn't have a dream of an immortal?

However, since ancient times, it is not an exaggeration to say that the words "listen to the next time" are the first great evils in the storytelling world. It's like many girls in an exam, you can get a full score in the last stroke, but you suddenly pick up the pen and leave the exam room.

After the applause, the big guys all shouted and continued to speak, and they all looked determined not to talk or let go.

Mr. Storyteller was helpless, but he still didn't say what happened next, but he promised to say another story about male thieves and female prostitutes... Phew! A tragic and pitiful love story with a concubine ending.

Shang Xiaoxiao was pulled out of the teahouse by Shang Qing, and when she looked up, there was a meteor cutting through the sky over Yujing, the moonlight was very beautiful, and a wisp of breeze was blowing, very gentle.

Looking at his sister who was still reluctant to leave, Shang Qing suddenly said: "Xiaoxiao, look, there is a meteor, make a wish!" ”

"Where? Wow! There are really shooting stars. ”

Shang Xiaoxiao hurriedly closed her eyes and made a wish seriously.

As soon as she finished speaking, before she could finish her wish, a crisp sound came from the inner square of the wall. Immediately, the bells and drums of the rest of the squares rang out one after another, from near to far. The sound was magnificent and far-reaching, resounding throughout the entire Yujing City.

Thousands of lanterns in the city hold candles at the same time, the brilliance is bright, and the fire trees are silver. In the twenty-third year of Tianfu, the grandest Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival in Yujing City has finally begun.

The two walked through this candlelit street, and soon came to the unusually wide heavenly street. There is a poem "The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is nothing." It is the most beneficial spring of the year, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital. ”

However, it is now the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is still far from the spring rain.

Tonight, the saint will lead the hundred officials to pray for the moon in Chengtianmen, the imperial capital of the jade capital, has gathered from all over the dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and gentry, literati and scholars.

After the moon festival is over, the people will also go to the moat to put small river lanterns, hundreds of thousands of river lanterns float on the water, brilliant as stars. The whole Yujing City, the night is like day, bright and prosperous.

At this time, it was the time for the night to put on the lights, and the residents of Yujing City helped the old and the young, and they had already crowded the streets early. In front of the Chengtian Gate, under the tall lamp tower, the crowd was shoulder to shoulder, and a beautiful woman in a white dress stood upstairs, looking at the hall guarded by the vermilion high wall from a distance.
