Chapter 149: Strange Master and Apprentice
"Master, isn't there something weird here, why does it feel wrong?" said a middle-aged man who looked puzzled and thought about the person with the same complexion next to him.
"Well, you can see that it is true, this place is a situation laid by the masters, the formation is mighty, even if it is a teacher, there is no way to step out of this formation, as if it is natural, especially those trees are rooted in the earth, so that the qi of the earth is nurtured in it, constantly changing the formation, so it is useless to just look at one, what is needed is a thorough understanding, it is difficult. ”
This strange place is so ethereal in the eyes of the two, and it is so real, very interesting, but they can't also perceive the real side, and they can't help but feel a little unhappy in their hearts.
"Master, why don't we go in and see how it is, I think according to the reputation of the master, it should be courteous. "I immediately suggested it, and my heart was also very itchy, what kind of place is this, so magical.
"Now we can only hope that this is the case, let's go and see what is different in this area. ”
Don't think that the distance between the two is very close, in fact, it is still relatively far away from the mountain, and it is precisely because of the rarity that they will be interested and want to go to find out what kind of situation it is.
Soon came to a close place, and just wanted to enter, but was stopped by the person in front of the boundary monument: "This place is the private realm of Unai Xiaoyao Villa, two Taoist leaders, please don't embarrass me and wait, please go back." ”
The two of them didn't expect to be stopped here, and they were a little embarrassed, but what they said was right, this is someone else's private territory, and they are not anyone, why let them in, and stood there a little embarrassed for a while.
"What's the matter, little hat, who are they?" asked a man on horseback out of the woods path.
"Captain, the little ones don't know where they came from, they want to enter the village, but they don't have an invitation or explanation, so they stop it. ”
When the captain heard this, it was like two Taoist priests looking at him, and his momentum suddenly let go, you must know that over the years, it is either martial arts or martial arts, for them, reading and learning words is just an auxiliary, as long as they can understand the words and write the words, they don't pay attention to any high-level culture, so they are much more fierce, not to mention that in order to ensure the safety of the caravan, they often replace the escorts, and there is naturally a bloody atmosphere.
These two Taoist priests knew the difference as soon as they felt it, the people here are definitely not good, if they don't fight well, maybe they will cause death, and now they feel careless, and the owner of the village who looks at this place is also not a simple person.
"I'm really sorry, it's really the fault of the two masters and apprentices of the poor road, look at the feng shui pattern here, it is definitely the best work, so I can't help but come to see it, now I know, so I don't need to look at it, I hope your Excellency doesn't care." The man who called the master hurriedly apologized, and his attitude was very sincere.
In this way, the captain was not easy to pursue, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, please take care of yourself." ”
didn't say much, the two knew that they would never let them enter the village, so they had no choice but to thank them and hurriedly left.
When they couldn't see the figure of the villa, the two of them were relieved.
"Master, what kind of place is this, how can such a strong person be here, and it seems to be very reasonable. ”
"How do you know this poor road, let's go into the city, by the way, we may be able to get the answer. ”
So the two of them entered Hedong City, and soon found a restaurant to go into, ordered a few vegetarian dishes, and planned to hear if there was any news, if there was really not, they would find a way to understand the situation.
As expected, when I wanted to hear the news of Unai Joyful Villa, I heard some of it again.
"I really didn't expect that the owner of the villa is so powerful, even the current emperor is full of praise, and specially designated the area where the villa belongs as a permanent private estate, which is really amazing?"
"What do you know, you must know that I originally wanted to make the owner of the village a national teacher, but the owner of the village didn't pay attention to it at all, those people couldn't go in, they could only leave their will, that was called Niu *, who doesn't know the name of the owner of the village in Hedong now. ”
"Oh, you know the owner's name?"
The person who bragged just now suddenly withered, lowered his head and drank to himself, and never spoke again.
"The name of the owner of the village seems to have never been mentioned, but everyone calls him the owner of the village, and no one in other big families in Hedong dares to call him so, either to avoid it, or to change the name directly, it's really amazing, amazing, our idol in Hedong." ”
"That is, that is, if it weren't for the owner of the village, now Hedong doesn't know what it will be like to be made by the rebellious army, how can there be a good life now, just bring the people to enjoy the incense from generation to generation, and wish him a long life, so that we people can live in peace and sound. ”
"Dry. Without the slightest hesitation, the crowd showed deep goodwill and joy in their hearts.
"Hey, master, what's going on, it doesn't seem to be as bad as you imagined, or you can do a hexagram and see. ”
The master thought about it, and immediately took out a few pennies and started calculating, just wanted to throw the copper coin, but was crushed by the invisible force, and it was impossible to calculate at all, and even he was severely coerced, and he felt the existence beyond the mortal level.
"Master, master, what's wrong with you, why did your face become so ugly?" the apprentice immediately said worriedly.
"It's okay, I didn't expect to really meet a master this time, the teacher has no ability to calculate at all, just look at it. He took out the broken copper coin and placed it in front of his apprentice, his eyes full of bald expressions.
"Master, what's going on, can't this person be counted, or what?" The apprentice was also shocked, for this kind of thing had never happened, but now that it really appeared, how could he not be shocked.
"I don't know, but one thing is certain, that is, there is no way to calculate it for the teacher, don't worry about this one thing, let's go, let's go to Chang'an, this time there is still a task, we can't delay here, if you miss the opportunity, it will be troublesome." The master could only comfort and say, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't do anything, and he could only hope that nothing would go wrong.
After finishing their meal in a hurry, the two of them hurriedly opened Hedong City, trying to escape as if they were avoiding a tiger, and the speed was very fast.
After arriving in Chang'an, the two of them put their minds at ease, this place is where the human emperor's dragon qi is condensed, and there must be no danger, so they can quietly walk into the city gate, and after preparing the matter, they will start waiting.
"Your Majesty, it has been done according to your wishes, but the position of the national teacher cannot be realized at all, please take it back. ”
"Forget it, since he doesn't want to, don't force it, remember that it is a forbidden place, never go to cause trouble, and warn those princes, no matter which one of them goes, don't blame the ruthlessness of the father, you know?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers understand, and they will definitely teach the princes and their highnesses well. ”
"Well, that's fine, Fang Aiqing, are the army's logistics ready?"
"Everything is ready, Hedong's tax revenue is simply a lifesaver, this time it is enough for a year's war. Fang Xuanling was very concerned about this harvest, he didn't expect that there would be such a big benefit, which was more than direct collection.
"That's good, that's good, since it's so cooperative, I can't be stingy, not to mention that if every place can have such a good income, I will be at ease, where is there such a hurry to fight fires, damn barbarians, they actually invaded the Central Plains, you must give me a hard fight, Li Jing will hand it over to you this time, you must give me a hard fight, it is best to destroy their main force." ”
When Li Jing heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's expectations and destroy them." ”
"Very good, this matter is up to all Aiqing, especially Fang Aiqing, you must hurry up, if anyone dares to deduct a penny, don't blame me for being ruthless. Li Shiming said fiercely, this time the soldiers are used for the shame of the last time, and they must definitely be recovered, not to mention that there is enough food and grass this time, there is basically no problem, if you fail again, you really can't afford to lose this person.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is sworn to protect the logistics security, please rest assured. The rest of the ministers knelt down one after another.
"Very good, all Aiqing, please get up, so go and prepare, see what else you have to do, if not, retreat. ”
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all happy, this time the court finally has enough food and grass to prepare, and it is very optimistic about this war, not to mention that it is still a famous general who leads the team, and he will definitely be able to kill the enemy and prevent them from going south.
There was a tense atmosphere in Chang'an City, and the soldiers were coming in and out, seemingly very nervous.
"Master, what's going on, do you want to fight, but it doesn't seem like there's any war to fight?"
"It seems that it is going to be a war against the Turks, presumably you also know that the imperial court was defeated once before, this time it seems that it is to be returned, have you heard the information of insufficient preparation, it seems to be very certain, it is definitely well prepared, but the world has only just decided, how can there be so much grain and grass to prepare, it is very strange. ”
"Master, don't guess, I heard it in the market just now, saying that Hedong levied a large amount of taxes, which was enough for the imperial court to recruit soldiers, and the momentum was very magnificent, it seems that he was ready to use this batch of tax grain and grass. ”
"Well, this is reasonable, Hedong has not suffered from war in recent years, and the tax revenue is naturally abundant, and it seems that the contradictions between each other have been reconciled, and Hedong is naturally fully supportive, so it seems that we underestimate it. ”
"Yes, Hedong is now in a very special position in the government and the opposition, and even the officials are basically local to Hedong, and there is no way for those from other places to display their talents, because Hedong is really very harmonious, and even the things of stealing chickens and dogs have basically been eliminated, there is really nothing to do, where can we do anything, master, it seems that we underestimate them." ”
"Okay, let's not worry about this matter, the time is almost right, you can get out of the city immediately, there is no need to look for you here." ”
"Yes, master, the apprentice will leave first, and go back to the mountain as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly, I know what to do. ”
"Sir, this is the gold-tailed carp caught today, please smile. An old man came forward with a fish and said.
"The old man is polite, sit down, I'll just come by myself. After taking the fish, he began to tell fortunes for the old man, and his apprentice left quietly, and disappeared without a trace when he left the city.
"Thank you, sir, these days are relying on Mr. to have a good day, thank you, thank you. After getting the answer, the old man hurriedly thanked him, and sincerely felt in his heart that if he hadn't been able to catch a fish, he would really not have been able to catch a fish.
"You're welcome, but as I said, don't tell anyone that I told you, you know?"
"Don't worry, sir, I will never say it. The old man said very vowly.
The fortune teller smiled indifferently, he already had the answer in his heart, but it was not easy to say it clearly.
When the old man left, he began to wait for the fortune teller.
Until one day, a man with a magnificent instrument came to the fortune teller, looked at it, and said, "You can really calculate anything?"
"This depends on what Mr. wants to count, see that Mr. has the air of water, he must be from the river, what is it?"
"Oh, I have some skills, then I want to know how much rain will fall tomorrow. ”
"Okay, sir, wait a minute. Immediately, he took out the copper coin and counted it, and said, "Tomorrow it will rain three feet, three inches and three o'clock." ”
"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow. The man immediately said, seemingly very happy.
The fortune teller smiled and nodded, not saying much at all.
The next day, it rained, but the fortune teller's face changed, and then he calmed down, and the dying man could not be saved.
On the third day, the man came again, and began to smash the stall without saying anything, shouting, "Liar, liar..."
"Okay, I don't know about others, you don't know yet, change the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor without authorization, change the number of rains, and inevitably go up to the Dragon Terrace, Jinghe Dragon King. ”
As soon as the fortune teller finished speaking, the man was stunned, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ran over and knelt down to beg for mercy and save him, but he didn't say anything, until he finally boldly threatened.
The fortune teller said helplessly: "The one who is in charge of the beheading is the Wei Zheng of the Dynasty, and he is in the position of Cao Wei, if you can say the words of Your Majesty today, maybe you can be extrajudicial and gracious, of course, you also need Your Majesty's consent, otherwise it is still useless." ”
When the Dragon King of Jinghe heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
After he left, the fortune teller also packed his things and planned to leave.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
"What's the matter, it's not that you leaked the secret, you won't be able to catch any more fish in the future, so let's take this fish and release it." Without saying a word, he took his things and left.
