Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fortune Telling

Wang Zaqing didn't believe it, so he sent Xiaosi to run over and ask. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a while, Xiao Si panted and ran back and said: "Hui Gongzi, it is known that Xu Langzhong of the Linjiang Army, who died in office, returned to his hometown with a ship loaded with a coffin, and passed through here." ”

Du Shenfei, Xie Youlong, Wang Zaqing and others were all taken aback when they saw that the Taoist priest was accurate, as if they knew in advance.

Xie Youlong praised: "Even if Shao Kangjie is resurrected, it is not as clever as the Taoist chief, and the yin and yang are accurate. Xie Youlong waved forward and said, "Under Xie Youlong, please ask the Taoist chief to give me advice." This year is the year of Dabi, and I went to the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and I also want to take the palace exam, can I be the top student in high school?"

The Taoist priest still replied slowly, "It's not available at any time." ”

Xie Youlong's heart was half cold, and he asked again, "Can you achieve fame?"

The Taoist priest said, "There is no way to do it. ”

Xie Youlong said: "I must not have any fame?"

The Taoist priest was silent.

The onlookers laughed, thinking that Xie Youlong didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, so they all said: "We will also go to Lin'an to participate in the provincial test hall test." Xie Youlong was so ashamed that his face was red, he couldn't speak for a long time, and he didn't have the heart to ask again, so he put a small piece of silver on the Taoist priest's belly, turned around and left, and everyone followed.

Du Shenfei saw that the Taoist priest was not wearing a pair of shoes, so he took out five taels of silver, put it on the Taoist priest's belly, and followed.

Since Xie Youlong heard the two words of this Taoist priest, he had no intention of looking at the lights and watching the scenery, and he was depressed.

Xie Youlong looked at Du Shenfei and the calf and said, "Little goldfish, calf, let's go back tomorrow." ”

Du Shenfei asked in surprise: "Sir, we have been traveling for nearly half a month, and when we came here, why did we give up halfway and go back?"

Xie Youlong looked depressed and said, "Just now, the Taoist priest said that I can't get to the top and I don't have any fame, so what are you going to do in Lin'an?"

Du Shenfei said: "Mr. has been studying hard for decades, hiding thousands of ancient history in his chest, and has a hundred cars of books in his belly, how can he destroy his future because of a sentence said by a Taoist priest he met by chance?"

Xie Youlong said: "This Taoist priest's calculation is very accurate, I can't help but believe it." ”

Du Shenfei said: "Mr. is erudite and talented, how can I not know that Buddhism has a saying, called 'life is made by the heart'; Taoism also says, 'My life is in my not in heaven', things are man-made, and God rewards hard work, how can you decide your fate by a word from others." ”

Du Shen was not kind, but Xie Youlong was not relieved.

Du Shenfei said again: "Mr. still remembers Cai Yuanchang and Cai Yuandu's brothers?"

Xie Youlong said: "Little goldfish, what do you mean?"

Du Shenfei said again: "Back then, the brothers Cai Yuanchang and Cai Yuandu participated in the provincial examination, and they also came to ask a fortune teller who had heard about his fortune skills in Beijing. The fortune teller said to Cai Yuanchang: 'You will only be able to eat and drink later, and don't fantasize about anything else'. He also said to Cai Yuandu: 'Your life is very good, you can ascend to the throne this year, you can be an attendant within ten years, and you can be a ruling for another ten years, but you must not be the truth, and you should end this life in your old age. ”

Xie Youlong was silent.

The calf first asked, "Big brother, what happened later, is it accurate?"

Du Shenfei said: "The two brothers didn't believe what the fortune teller said at first, but after a few months, they went to ask the fortune teller again. This fortune teller calculated based on the eight characters of the birthday, which is exactly the same as what he said last time. This shocked the two brothers. But in fact, the two brothers ascended to the throne in the same year and became nobles one after another. ”

Xie Youlong suddenly woke up and said, "Sure enough, it's as you said." This fortune teller's calculation is a lifetime difference for Cai Yuandu, but it is a thousand miles away for Cai Yuanchang. ”

Du Shenfei said: "Exactly." Most of the so-called fatalities cannot be trusted. In my opinion, sometimes even if you are right, it is by chance. We only have to do what we do, so why should we know in advance whether we will succeed or fail?"

Xie Youlong nodded.

Wang Zaqing said suddenly: "What Brother Du said is extremely true. And these fortune tellers, on the grounds that 'the secret of heaven cannot be revealed', are all supported by hidden words, where are they willing to tell you clearly. ”

Xie Youlong really let go of his heart and said with a smile: "Both of you are reasonable, all fortune telling, often can only be verified afterwards, even if it is really accurate, it is the so-called 'it is nothing, stealing is useless'." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Wang Zaqing smiled: "I'll tell you a joke, it's also about fortune telling." ”

And they all listened intently.

Wang Zaqing raised his eyebrows and said: "This story is also told in the year of Dabi, there are two fathers and sons, Zhang Yi and Zhang Er, who came to ask Luan Xian about the future gains and losses. Luan wrote and said, "Go south quickly, meet a mad monk on the road, ask a lot, and you can decide the future." The father and son rushed away, and the son Zhang Erxiao ran fast, and sure enough, he caught up with a crazy monk. Zhang Er asked if he could go to high school, but the monk ignored him, so Zhang Er held the monk's sleeve and entangled endlessly. The mad monk glared and scolded: "Into your mother's house!" Zhang Er was furious when he heard this, and was about to beat the monk, but he stopped after being persuaded by everyone. ”

Everyone laughed, and Xie Youlong said, "What happened later?"

Wang Zaqing also smiled: "This subject is Zhang Yi High School." Zhang Ercai finally understood what the monk said. ”

Du Shenfei, Xie Youlong, Xiaosi and others all laughed out loud when they heard this.

Niu Xian also laughed and said: "I also understand, the monk's sentence is 'your father is in the middle, you are not in the middle'." ”

Du Shenfei said: "From the story of Brother Wang, it can also be seen that fortune tellers, even if they calculate accurately, will not say it directly, the so-called 'heavenly machine cannot be revealed', no one will be as blunt as this old way." Also, even if this old way can really be calculated, the eight characters of 'unobtainable and undesirable' should have other meanings. ”

Wang Zaqing said: "Exactly." ”

Xie Youlong listened to the story of Du Shenfei and Wang Zaqing, and he was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Since you all have stories, I will also tell you a story, which is also about fortune telling." ”

Wang Zaqing said continuously: "Interesting, hurry up and listen to it." ”

Xie Youlong said with a smile: "Back then, Zhang Shixun and Kou Zhun traveled to Xiangguo Temple together and went to a stall selling divination to calculate the future. The divination seller looked at the two and said, 'You two will be prime ministers in the future.'" Coincidentally, the book was not written, and Zhang Qixian and Wang came to visit Xiangguo Temple and also came to tell fortunes, and the fortune seller said: 'You two will also be prime ministers in the future'. Zhang Shixun, Kou Zhun, Zhang Qixian, Wang Sui, and the onlookers all laughed when they heard this, and said, 'Where in this world are there so many prime ministers?'

Wang Zaqing said with a smile: "Later, these four people were all prime ministers." ”

Xie Youlong also smiled: "It's true that they are all prime ministers." It's a pity that this fortune seller was unlucky, and no one came to him to calculate, and then he starved to death. ”

Du Shenfei said: "It's a pity. ”

The calf didn't seem to understand, and asked, "Sir, that man is so accurate." Why isn't there anyone looking for him to tell his fortune?"

Du Shenfei said: "It's because at that time, the four prime ministers, as well as the onlookers, thought he was talking nonsense. ”

That night, in the city of Raozhou, 10,000 colored lanterns formed a mountain of lights, fireworks and lanterns, golden and blue each other, splendid and beautiful. Boys and girls sang and danced, and thousands of onlookers watched. Under the two corridors of the street, thaumaturgical abilities, singing and dancing, scales tangential, and music are noisy for more than ten miles. The streets and alleys, tea houses and wine shops are lit together, gongs and drums are sounded, firecrackers are ringing, and the lights are endless.

Everyone looked at the lamp, ate the table of banquets presented by the shopkeeper of "Fuxianglou", and stayed overnight.

The next day, the five people left the "Fuxiang Building", looked south to Yugan County, looked for a big boat, stayed at night and traveled early, passed Anren County, Jinshadu, Guixi County, Geyang County, Huomaodu, and arrived in Xinzhou. Take the land route from Xinzhou, pass Yushan County, enter Quzhou Jiangshan County, which belongs to Liangzhejiang Road, until Quzhou, turn to the waterway, pass through Longyou, Lanxi, Muzhou, Tonglu, Fuyang and other counties, and come to Lin'an Mansion. The boatman parked the ship in the harbor, dropped the iron anchor, and ploughed the stakes and mud ashore and nailed them. Everyone went smoothly all the way, but it took half a month to run around for days.
