"Hexagram?" The scholar was stunned, picked up the copper coin on the case, the copper coin was warm, fell in the tortoise shell and made a loud noise, and then threw it out, fell on the case, rolled several times, and finally settled, so repeated six times, the scholar was very concerned about the old Taoist priest's gaze, only to see that the old Taoist priest was still confused, he couldn't help but suspect, this is not a fake Taoist priest who cheats to eat and drink.

"There is nothing good or bad about the hexagram, but I look at you like this, your eyes are godless, the spirit hall is lightless, and your spirit is also scattered, I am afraid that you have really encountered something evil. The old Taoist priest stared at the scholar's face and muttered to himself, he had practiced some skills to comprehend the mysteries, he told the truth, but the scholar was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.

"Ask the Taoist to save my village! Please also ask the Taoist to save us!" The scholar knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and when he looked up, his scalp was broken.

"What's going on?"

Daoist Wei squinted his eyes, he still thought that the meadow was not real enough, so he moved the meadow under his ass left and right, touching his somewhat messy beard, "Everything has a cause and effect, and these troubles you are born now should also have the fruits you planted, let's go and see the village you said, but there is really something unclean." ”

Saying that, he got up, the wine gourd turned around, fell off the case, and fell on the muddy ground, the scholar hurriedly picked it up, wiped the blood on his forehead, and said, "If the Taoist chief saves our village, what wine does the Taoist chief want to drink, I will buy it and eat with the Taoist chief." ”

Wei Zhengjue's face was serious, but he swallowed his saliva, only felt that his throat was dry, and pointed at him and said: "This is what you said yourself, what kind of wine you want to drink, you have to choose it yourself." ”

The scholar nodded and said, "Naturally, the juniors are the ones who speak. ”

The old Taoist priest drank his cheeks crimson, he was actually not very old, but he was really an old man, sitting at the back of the ox cart, and remembered his own appearance in the past.

The village that the scholar said was ten miles away from the imperial city gate, and the old cow pulled the cart and walked slowly, and the old coachman held the whip in his hand and shouted the old songs in the village.

The old cow walked in the woods, past the path, and behind a few mounds were fields, and the country villages with smoke rising.

"Dao Chief, we're here. Scholar Wang Zongqian patted the clothes on his buttocks and reached out to help Daoist Wei down.

The coachman said, "Twenty copper coins." ”

The scholar took the money from his arms, flipped through the twelve copper plates, and anxiously groped for a while before he said: "Suffer, I forgot to buy wine and eat with the Taoist chief, I bought two more cakes for the Taoist chief, and used eight more yuan." ”

Wei Zhengjue was looking at the countryside, there was cooking smoke in the village, a few naughty children were frolicking around an old acacia tree, and only the black dog in the distance fell asleep on its stomach.

"Dao Chief, please. The scholar said. The old coachman didn't care, but asked for a piece of bread to eat, and broke off a piece of the cake and stuffed it into the old cow's mouth.

"Old man, let's go, let's go back and rest. The old coachman patted the old cow on the neck, sat on the ox cart with a buttock, the whip was on his shoulder, and just patted the ox with his hand, and the wind blew harder, and the ox swept its tail and led the cart away.

Wei Daoshi followed the young man while drinking, and the wine was about to be drunk before stopping.

"Good wine. ”

burped, the wine in the Drunken Red Mansion is really a good thing, most of the wine houses in the Great Song Dynasty are rough grain, but the Drunken Red Mansion uses refined grain, the entrance is sweet, mild and soft.

It reminded him of the crispy wine eaten in the Liao Dynasty, or the wine of the Great Song Dynasty was delicious, how could the Liao people know how to make wine, and it was not a wine shop made indiscriminately.

"Daoist, what are you looking at?" Wang Zongqian saw that the old Taoist priest was not leaving, so he looked over. Wei Daoist stood in the wind and looked, the old locust tree had lost many leaves in autumn, the urchins below were scattered into a piece, and further away you could see pieces of mourning flags, women sat around crying, the old man knelt on the ground, and the tears were dry.

Wang Zongqian said: "I don't know where there is an epidemic this year, and many people have died in the village, some have lost their husbands, some have lost their children, and some only have empty houses, and the hills and fields are deserted, and there are more than 100 graves on the base. ”

The epidemic is menacing, even in the imperial city, everyone is afraid of it, wandering around, the famine is better than the epidemic, the court can also set up porridge shops, the epidemic together, it is several states, that is, the dead people are seen in the field, and the government has not seen the case for several days.

"The medicine of the Taiyi Bureau is not necessarily good, and most of the people who suffer from the epidemic will bleed within three or five days, and within ten days, seven orifices will bleed to death. By the time the epidemic was over, half of the old and weak in the village had been burned to ashes, and what was buried in the soil was nothing more than ashes. Wang Zongqian finally understood why Daoist Wei looked like this and explained.

Daoist Wei nodded, and then walked towards the village. There was a Taoist priest in the village, who was invited by Wang Shusheng, and the elders in the village came out to greet him, seeing the appearance of Wei Daoshi's immortal wind and bones, and carrying a tattered old sword, a wealthy family in the village killed a chicken to entertain him.

"It's all providence. ”

The old Taoist priest looked at the scarlet sky, the crows are eating the flesh of the dead, hovering in the sky, but at night it became more and more jubilant, for a time the crows danced wildly, and people were frightened.

"I don't know if Li Wei'an's kid has gone back. ”

In the village, every family hangs white silk, every household has someone died, there are several families who have died, even the white silk is not hung, leaving a house, today, Wei Daoshi sleeps in this household, this family originally had a family of four, a time epidemic, the whole family died of illness and was buried.
