(Large chapter of 20,000 words.)
The early bird catches the worm, and the horse gets fat without night grass.
The reason for being a director is this: Poor young Taoist who wakes up early and spends the night in the dark. Even if the fortune-telling stall opens earlier than his counterpart next door and leaves later, he still has nothing to eat, let alone gain weight.
Because now the people in the small town believe that the old Taoist with the fishtail crown is the real god, who can accurately tell fortunes, and will not come to eat and drink every chance he gets, and no matter who comes to ask for a fortune, no matter it is a young girl
She is still a beautiful woman, an honest woman who never looks sideways and is full of righteousness. She is not like a certain person who tries to trick children into eating cakes all day long.
When doing business, you are not afraid of comparing goods.
Therefore, the young Taoist has been experiencing a lot of human kindness in recent times. Not to mention getting rich, he is probably almost in trouble. Even the little girls who used to chat very speculatively not only don't read palms, but also pretend to be fake every time they pass by the stall.
do not know.
The young Taoist had no choice but to comfort himself. Even if these cute little girls, who smelled of the fragrance of country vegetation, seemed very fond of him, they were just shy and embarrassed to say hello to him. In fact, they were full of love.
Otherwise, every time I pass by, I don’t wear the same beautiful new clothes every time? The young Taoist is unwilling to live up to the feelings of these girls every time. With his sharp eyes, he will always praise his hairpin by name and surname.
She looks really good, and the clothes fit her perfectly... Most of the girls hurriedly walked away. As for some bold women, they either gave them a wink or scolded them, but it was a pity that there was no one.
Take care of the business of the fortune telling stall.
This made the young Taoist a little sad. He sat behind the stall every day, either wiping the bamboo sticks with his sleeves, breathing hot air into the bamboo sticks, or holding the back of his head and rocking back and forth, or simply lying on the table and looking sideways at the next door.
The stalls were so lively and crowded that everyone was so angry.
Fortunately, the young Taoist priest did not get angry because he was sitting on the bench all day long. From time to time, he took the initiative to chat with the old Taoist priest. This made the old Taoist priest who was thinking about changing to a Feng Shui treasure place relax a little, and finally he even
The old Taoist priests all felt a little bit unbearable, and felt a little sorry for such a thoughtless junior. Thinking that this trip to the small town had yielded a lot, which was almost enough for half a year's expenses, he wanted to give a few words, in case there is no business coming to the door.
During the break, he waved to the Lotus Crown Taoist priest to come over and sit down. The young man ran over and sat on the bench, his face full of enthusiasm and expectation, "Why can the old immortal teach me? But he has a bag of tricks to teach me?"
The old Taoist lifted up the small teapot at hand, took a sip of herbal tea, sighed, and asked straight to the point: "Have you just entered the industry?"
The young Taoist said with a sad face: "It's not bad, it's just that the business has not been as good as others."
Taoism is divided into three sects. The three disciples of Taoist ancestors are each the leader of a sect. They have the same origin but different currents. Not only do they spread branches and leaves in a certain world, they are as powerful as Confucianism in the vast world. Even if
In this vast world where the Great Li Dynasty is located, the three major sects derived from the three Taoist religions are also deeply rooted. There are many Taoist temples in the world, the incense is strong, there are Taoist masters in every continent, and the heavenly kings and real people occupy the blessed land of cave heaven.
The old Taoist nodded with his hand at the "junior" who had an unlucky look on his face, and then pointed to the top of his head, "You've been in the industry for a long time? Then you are really lucky, and you haven't been arrested and sent to prison yet.
! I ask you, why are you wearing such a lotus crown? Do you know that there are only a handful of Taoist sects in Aquarius Island that are qualified to wear such a style of crown! The leader is Shen Gao Sect of Nanjian Kingdom.
The real person in charge is none other than Immortal Qi from Yizhou Taoist Master, who was promoted to Master Tianjun last year! Among the other Taoist temples, which ones are not the first-class mansions of the local immortal family, and which ones need to go down the mountain to be fortune tellers, and then put them here
A shabby place, dealing with a group of country folk and market women who smell like earth? What, is it possible that your boy is the Jade Certificate Immortal of the Shengaozong, or a registered Taoist priest from one of those Taoist temples?"
The young Taoist waved his hands and said: "No, none."
Of course he cannot be named Lu Chen.
The old Taoist was so popular that he was about to reprimand this daredevil. He suddenly let out a sigh and looked surprised. It turned out that there were two people, one older and one younger, standing at the stall next door. Although the middle-aged man looked sick, he
He has a strong momentum, and he looks like an official with official authority! The young man is dressed in white and has a jade belt, and his face is like a crown jewel. At first glance, he looks like a young man who was brought up in a wealthy family.
The two stood quietly at the stall, as if waiting patiently for the young Taoist priest.
The old Taoist's compassion was instantly wiped out, and when he looked at the young Taoist who had suffered such bad luck, it became even more annoying.
The young Taoist smiled and said thank you and said goodbye, then walked back to his stall and sat behind him, "What, are you asking for a fortune or a fortune teller?"
The man sat on the stool, shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't draw lots or read faces. Anyway, the matter is over, there is no need."
The man looked at the young Taoist, hesitated for a moment, and then gave the first fist-holding ceremony in his life, and said calmly: "I am the king of the world. According to the etiquette of the world, I don't have to kneel to any immortal. The master of the Taoist priest is here to visit us.
Li Longquan, I don't have to kneel down and kowtow, nor can I greet him with the Confucian salute. I just treat it as a chance encounter in the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain. I boldly welcome Master Lu in the way of people in the rivers and lakes, and hope that Master Lu won't be offended.
"
Lu Chen smiled and asked: "It's strange, you are an emperor, why don't you call yourself me, or a widower?"
The man smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't dare to do it before the real person."
Lu Chen joked: "Pindao thought that Emperor Song of Dali was a heroic man who was not afraid of anything. When A Liang fought all the way to the White Jade Tower in your palace, you were very courageous, but you just didn't kneel down. Pindao."
At that time, I was watching a play from a distance in Nanjian Country, and I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for you."
Emperor Da Li laughed at himself: "With this kneeling, all the spiritual energy accumulated by the ancestors of the Song family in Da Li will collapse. How can I kneel down? So I can't kneel down even if I die."
Lu Chen nodded and suddenly smiled: "Are you here to beg for mercy because of the unauthorized imitation of Bai Jade Tower, or are you here to ask for mercy because the Lu family's warlocks tricked you?"
Emperor Da Li smiled and said: "Of course not, one is unwilling and the other has no courage. I originally needed to show up in person to confer Da Li Beiyue. In fact, on the way here, Xu Ruo of the Mo family did not hesitate to use his flying sword to summon him.
They advised me not to appear in front of the master, and the Imperial Master had the same idea. Both of them spoke very directly, without being polite at all, especially our Da Li Imperial Master, who knew my temper best and was afraid of me.
If you break the jar and smash it, you will offend the master."
Lu Chen casually looked at the critically ill Emperor Dali and said: "I am very curious about something. Aliang interrupted your Immortal Bridge with one punch. It not only helped you get rid of the fate of being a puppet, but also made you die soon."
Now, are you grateful or resentful?"
Emperor Da Li said frankly: "It's both. I can't even say whether I am more grateful or resentful. In the vast world, there have been rules to restrain kings since ancient times. No Qi practitioners in the middle and fifth realms are allowed to serve as the leader of a country. Qi practitioners in the lower five realms,
You cannot sit on the Dragon Throne for more than a month. In addition, people who are emperors are indeed not suitable for spiritual practice by nature. Therefore, I could not withstand the temptation at first and was seduced by Mr. Lu who helped build the White Jade Tower. I took a shortcut and practiced secretly.
When I reached the Tenth Realm, it was actually a big mistake because I wanted so much to hear the sound of Da Li's horse hooves with my own ears, which sounded on the shore of the South China Sea outside Old Dragon City."
When Emperor Da Li said this, his energy was as bright as that of an old patient returning to life, "If such a day comes, I believe it will be louder than the spring thunder in the sky!"
Lu Chen did not comment on this, "It is not easy for you to clean up the family in such a short period of time and still have the courage to reject the Lu family of the Middle Earth Divine Continent. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the main branch of the Mo family suddenly selected your Great Li Dynasty.
It has nothing to do with it, but no matter what, your career as emperor... has been full of ups and downs."
Emperor Da Li was not surprised. Although immortals came down, they still had to abide by the complex rules established by the sage, but the young and handsome Taoist in front of him was not an immortal in the ordinary sense.
The reason why Da Li insisted on coming to the town this time was to see the "young" Taoist with his own eyes. He was filled with awe and admiration, which was the simplest and purest emotion.
The mountains stand tall and the scenery stops. Even though I can't reach them, my heart longs for them.
If you can really walk up to it and see it with your own eyes, it will be a great blessing in life.
Emperor Dali suddenly showed a trace of luck and anxiety, "The master is here, can I escape?"
Lu Chen shook his head with a smile, "Among the bright stars flowing in the world, you are one of the brighter ones. Of course, a poor person can extend your life, not to mention ten years to a hundred years, a thousand years is not difficult, but as long as a poor person
If you try to change your destiny, I'm afraid you have to give up your ancestral business and follow the poor Taoist to other places in the world in order to really survive. Otherwise, the rules of your being a ceremonial saint are just decorations, and all the statues in the Confucian Temple are dead people?"
Emperor Dali sighed and was speechless for a long time.
Lu Chen squinted his eyes at the old-fashioned young man, and said with a smile: "Song Jixin, or should I call you Song Mu? It's such a coincidence that we meet again, so do you know that Qi Jingchun values ​​you very much? Back then, he inherited the cultural heritage and the incense.
Do you have a share as the key person? It’s not just Qi Jingchun’s deceitful trick on Pindao. Otherwise, my bird will never take away the copper coin you threw. It’s a pity that your life is good.
Just a little bit of luck, just lost."
Lu Chen stretched out his bent thumb and index finger, leaving only a gap, and said sarcastically: "The few books Qi Jingchun gave you are the true source of literary destiny, but you are not willing to take away any of them. You have to know that the world
There is righteousness, but the ethereal righteousness has its own spirituality. If you can't take what others give you with your own hands, you can't blame anyone."
Song Jixin was in a state of confusion and was sweating profusely.
Emperor Dali shouted softly: "Song Mu!"
Song Jixin finally regained some clarity, but he was still trembling and shaky.
Lu Chen continued to tease: "Boy, are you panicking now? Are you regretting your bowels? Song Jixin, have you ever thought about holding a good thing in both hands, can you afford the consequences? Lizhu Cave Sky incident,
Why did Qi Jingchun die? Aside from your Mr. Qi's own wish for death, he did not want to hide in the cave left to him by the old scholar. Not to mention these, the most important thing is that the heaven of heaven counterattacked. As long as you get a little bit involved, you will
It means there will be no peace for a long time. Even if you become the Emperor of the Great Li, so what? Even if the hoofbeats of the Great Li cavalry trample the shore of the South China Sea to pieces, so what?"
Emperor Dali pressed his hand heavily on the young man's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't think too much!"
Lu Chen stopped being aggressive and said lazily: "The world always likes to regret the good things that pass by, and is busy envying other people's fortunes and blessings. Haha, it's really funny and fun."
Emperor Da Li took back his palm, which was already covered with sweat, and his face became increasingly pale, "Master Lu, can you let Da Li Yima go?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, slammed the table, and laughed loudly: "It's a prophecy!"
Lu Chen first looked around, then squinted at the heights and said with a smile: "How is it? This is not something that a poor man can do to others. Don't worry, in the future, it just depends on the word 'let nature take its course'. I don't have the time to do this."
It’s a waste of time, to put it bluntly, if it weren’t for Qi Jingchun, I wouldn’t be willing to live under someone else’s roof in your territory.”
The old Taoist in the stall next door was in a daze. Ever since the young Taoist sat down at his stall, the old Taoist had been sleepy and dozing, and there was no business coming, so the old Taoist just sat there alone. But the old Taoist himself didn't know.
The lines on the palm of your hand change quietly, and your lifespan increases as the lines quietly extend. This is the blessing that you are unaware of.
