Chapter 12: Immortal Calculations
Yao Xiang snorted lightly and said, "What is the past and the present, knows the heavens and the earth, isn't he just a warlock?"
Shi Sheng also felt that this couplet was a bit excessive, as far as the characters he knew, only Long Shihe and Xiao Lanyu were worthy of the eight words "through the past and the present, knowing the heavens and the earth", Shi Sheng didn't think that in today's world, there are people who can compare with Long Shi and Xiao Lanyu.
However, since the white-eyed fairy dares to claim to be this couplet, he must still have some ability, and it is probably not easy to convince this kind of person, and he must think of some special methods.
Zhong Li's strength is strong, so Tiannan Palace dares not to defend, but the white-eyed immortal Weng does not have that strength, the Yunyin Immortal Palace is heavily guarded, and it is second to none in the entire southern corner, but these garrisons are not arranged by the white-eyed immortal, but the believers are spontaneously organized, and there are even two emperor-level masters, who willingly act as the bodyguards and servants of the white-eyed immortal, and in the entire resentful spirit swamp, only the white-eyed immortal and Zhong Li have this kind of treatment.
Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, the white-eyed fairy Weng will only appear in public on his birthday, open the altar to speak, preach for several days, and the rest of the time are closed-door cultivation, only under special circumstances, will go out to meet guests, ordinary people, etc., to see the white-eyed fairy Weng, it can be said that it is difficult and difficult.
Shi Sheng was thinking about how to see the white-eyed immortal, and suddenly saw a Xuanmen Yushi walking out of the Yunyin Immortal Palace, with his head in a bun, wearing a crane, up and down, and the dust was clean, although he restrained his coercion, but Shi Sheng sensed very clearly that this person must be an emperor-level master!
The white-clothed feather man walked up to Shi Sheng and the three of them, shook the dust in his hands, and draped them over his shoulders. Said: "Poor Dao has been waiting for more than three hours, please come with me." ”
Shi Sheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "How do you know that we will come?" The white-clothed Yushi said: "The Lord has calculated that the three will come today, and the special poor Dao is waiting here to welcome the distinguished guests." ”
Shi Sheng and Yao Xiang glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked, could it be that the white-eyed immortal really had the ability to predict the future? He actually knew that they would come! The white-clothed feather man turned his eyes to Yao Xiang and said, "I don't know if the girl's surname is Yao, and her single name is a fragrance character?"
Yao Xiang couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Yes." How do you know?" the white-clothed feather man smiled slightly. Said: "That's right, the three must be the guests of the Lord's foreknowledge, please follow the poor road into the palace and meet my lord." "Let's go ahead and do it. Shi Sheng and the three followed. I can't help but feel a little confused.
The Cloud Hidden Immortal Palace sits on the ground very wide. The pavilions and rockeries in the palace, the promenade and the water pavilion abound, and there are more cranes and larks. During the game, it has the charm of a fairy country, which is extraordinary.
A group of people zigzag, in the palace for half an hour, came to a lake, the lake surface is clear, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the rockery pavilion, calm without a trace of waves.
There is a bamboo pavilion in the center of the lake, an old man in white clothes and white hair, sitting in the pavilion fishing, his back to everyone, he can't see his face, the white-clothed feather man said respectfully: "Enlighten the lord, three distinguished guests have been brought." ”
The white-haired old man didn't look back, only waved his hand lightly, and the white-clothed feather man understood, and said, "Yes, Dao Nu retires." So saying, he bowed down and stood outside the courtyard.
"This white-haired old man...... Could it be that the white-eyed immortal?" Shi Sheng and the three of them walked along the green bamboo pontoon bridge towards the bamboo pavilion in the center of the lake, and soon walked into the pavilion and stared at the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man was like a stubborn stone, not moving at all, and his voice was very old: "The three distinguished guests, please sit down, wait for the old man to catch this fish, and then talk to the three in detail." ”
Shi Sheng said "good", but Yao Xiang muttered to himself in his heart: "When you catch this fish, who knows when you can catch it?" Before the thought was finished, he heard the white-haired old man smile slightly and said: "Miss Yao, don't worry, you count three times, and when you count to 'three', the old man will catch it." ”
Yao Xiang was taken aback, I don't know how this white-haired old man knew what she was thinking? Yao Xiang's character always refused to admit defeat, and the more angry the white-haired old man was, the more she was dissatisfied, so she said: "Okay, then I'll start counting, three!"
Yao Xiang jumped one or two, counted three directly, and wanted to hit the white-haired old man by surprise, who knew that the voice fell, the white-haired old man suddenly lifted the rod, and a three-inch carp jumped around, hanging at the end of the fishing line, and kept swinging his tail, and the white-haired old man smiled and took back the fishing rod and took off the carp.
Yao Xiang snorted lightly, still unconvinced, although he didn't know what trick the white-haired old man was playing, anyway, he was not convinced, the white-haired old man took off the carp, sent it into the water, washed his hands in the lake, and put away the fishing rod.
Shi Sheng saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but say: "If you want to let it go, why fish it?" The white-haired old man slowly turned around and smiled slightly: "Because I know that I don't die, I take the bait." ”
Shi Sheng and Yao Xiang recognized at a glance that this white-haired old man was the hundreds of millions of believers in the Resentful Spirit Swamp, and the extremely worshiped saint Baimei Immortal Weng was exactly the same as what Shi Sheng and the others saw in the pictures.
The white-eyed fairy Weng was wearing a plain white robe, with a rickety figure, holding a green bamboo cane, white hair and white eyebrows, extremely long eyebrows, almost covering his eyes, and his expression was very kind and kind, which made people feel close at a glance.
The white-eyed fairy staggered, slowly walked to the bamboo chair and sat down, no matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary old man in his last years, and he really can't see anything very special, Shi Sheng can't help but wonder if this person is a white-eyed immortal.
The white-eyed fairy put down his crutches, picked up the teacup, and said: "This is a special green snail tea of the Blue Country, with high quality and excellent taste, the three of you can taste it while it is hot." With that, he brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip.
Qingqing heard the words "excellent taste", hurriedly raised the teacup, took a sip, opened his small mouth suddenly, spit out the tea, and said with a frown: "It's bitter and astringent, the old man deceives people, it's not delicious at all!"
The white-eyed fairy Weng smiled slightly: "Little girl, the way to taste tea lies in the bitterness and sweetness, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth, you are still young and don't know the reason." ”
Qingluo tea is a specialty of Qingluo Mountain, Shi Sheng didn't know whether the white-eyed fairy Weng invited him to drink Qingluo tea, whether he had ulterior motives, he was silent for a while, Yao Xiang said: "Although Qingluo tea is good, it is not a treasure in the tea. ”
The white-eyed immortal Weng was noncommittal, changed the topic, and said, "The three of you came here today, what is the important matter?" Yao Xiangyan smiled and said: "The immortal Weng is known as a living bodhisattva and a living immortal, don't you know it if you count it?"
The white-eyed fairy Weng smiled slightly and said, "Okay, the old man will count it." After that, he raised his right hand, shook his sleeves, pinched his fingers, and said, "I see, the three of them are here to ask the old man for help, and to mobilize the seven domain masters to help the three of them crusade against the Tomb Shadow Society." He smiled and said, "I wonder if the old man has made a mistake?" (to be continued......)
