I think I am pretty lucky and always meet good people.
Just like just now, if it hadn't been for finding Taoist Meng, with the abilities of those two ghosts, Qingqing might not have been able to save me.
And looking at Taoist Meng's behavior, although he may be a bit evil, Taoxing is obviously much smarter than Qingqing!
So I made a decision at that time. No matter what I said, I must become a disciple of Taoist Meng and learn some skills from him first.
But just as I was about to tell him about my own affairs, Daozhang Meng suddenly grabbed my wrist and said forget it, come back with me, I will give you a divination first to see what is going to harm you.
.
Then he called the paper man to pick up the mirror fragments, and pulled me towards the thatched house. Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard the paper man shouting from behind: "Sir, what should I do with the bodies of these two Taoist friends?"
Only then did I remember the two cat spirits that had died just now. When I looked at them again, I saw that their bodies were already a little stiff.
However, Taoist Meng waved his hand calmly and said, "It's better to dig a hole and bury them, and let them turn around."
His attitude made me a little awkward, so I asked Taoist Meng, isn't this the helper you invited? Now that they have been killed, why don't you do some rituals to pray for them?
Taoist Meng said that I am not a monk, so why should I save them? If they are killed, it is because they are not good at learning and cannot blame others. Besides, they have received a lot of benefits from me, so they should help me. I don’t owe them anything.
.
After he finished speaking, he shook off his sleeves, turned around and walked into the house, leaving me standing there with a confused look on my face.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Meng Daozhang said is right. The relationship between them is just mutual use, and there is no deep relationship.
But what he said was somewhat inhumane, and not like a Taoist priest's way of doing things. I became more and more suspicious of Taoist Master Meng's identity.
Especially when I thought that these two cat spirits actually died because of me, I felt a little bit sorry. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go over and help the paper man, which could be considered as a gesture of kindness.
The two cats were not very big, so I picked up a stick I had handy, walked to the paper man, dug a small hole at the edge of the woods, and helped him dig the two cats' bodies together.
The body was buried.
I feel better after doing this. To be honest, this may be my own salvation.
I am really afraid that one day I will be like these two cats and die in the wilderness without knowing anything. I hope that people passing by then will dig a hole and bury my body like me.
At least I don't have to expose myself to the wilderness, and maybe I'll feel better down there.
When he entered the thatched cottage, Taoist Master Meng was kneeling on the futon in front of the incense table, holding three incense sticks in his hand and worshiping respectfully.
Hearing my footsteps, Taoist Meng greeted me and said, come here and offer three sticks of incense to the Patriarch. With the Patriarch's blessing, my divination will be more effective later.
Actually, I don’t really believe this. I feel that Buddha and Taoist monks are all fabricated by monks and Taoists to deceive people.
But Master Meng said so and I couldn't refuse. I could only light the incense and kneel on the futon like him. But at this time, I also saw clearly the appearance of the Taoist in the portrait.
He was a square-faced young man with a mustache, a lotus flower on his head, and a jade in his hand. He looked like a standard Taoist priest, but he looked younger than the average Taoist patriarch.
I felt at that time that this patriarch was somewhat unreliable. How capable could such a young Taoist priest be? Doesn’t Taoist Master Meng believe in some evil cult?
Normally, the images of Taoists in the enshrined portraits should be kind and kind, or solemn and solemn. But for some reason, the young Taoist priest in the painting looks a little cold, and there is even a sense of solemnity in his eyebrows.
The moment I looked into his eyes, I suddenly felt a shiver coming from the depths of my soul!
This trembling feeling made me stiffen and shiver. At the same time, the three sticks of incense in my hand suddenly broke at the waist!
I was stunned for a moment. Why did the incense sticks break off on their own? I checked them carefully when I took them. They were obviously all good!
"If you dare to think wildly again, I won't be able to protect you if Grandmaster will blame you."
Taoist Meng snorted behind me. His words made me widen my eyes. Damn it, how did he know that I was thinking wildly?
Is it true that the ancestor appeared? The reason why the three sticks of incense were broken just now was because the ancestor was angry?
Thinking of this, I felt a little scared, so I put away my disrespectful thoughts, took three more sticks of incense, respectfully knelt on the futon and bowed three times to the portrait.
But this time the incense didn't break. It wasn't until I inserted them into the incense burner that Taoist Meng said with satisfaction. "Tell me, come on, sit down on the chair. I know your birthday and horoscope. I will do it now."
Let me give you a divination.
I was about to ask him how he knew my birth date, but I soon remembered that he had told me my birth date five years ago. Maybe I told him that time, and he has remembered it until now.
I was also a little curious about divination, so I stood up as Taoist Meng asked, sat on the chair, and looked at him expectantly.
Taoist Meng sat opposite me, then he reached into his arms, took out three copper coins from his pocket, and threw them on the table. The coins whirled around a few times, and then fell one by one.
On the table.
Three negatives.
"Hey, Lao Yang."
Daozhang Meng's tone was quite calm, but I was a little curious and asked him what Lao Yang meant. He asked me to wait for a while and not to worry. He was now calculating my next fortune and how many times he would throw it.
Only then can we figure out the details.
Then while he was talking, he picked up three copper coins and threw them five times in a row, but every time he threw them, there were three tails. I was dumbfounded, because I know this thing about probability.
The probability of coming out with this shape is simply one in ten thousand.
But Taoist Meng was not surprised at all. He picked up the copper coins without changing his expression, shook them in his hand, muttered a few incomprehensible words, and then threw them back on the table.
This time the direction of the copper coin has changed, with three heads.
"Well, it's exactly what I thought."
Taoist Meng pondered for a moment, and then began to explain to me.
"One of the acquired Bagua is yin, the other is yang, the three yangs are kun, and the three yin are qian. If you open the qian six times in a row, this is the tian hexagram, the shangshang hexagram.
That is where the dragon is trapped in the shallows and the tiger steps into the forest. As long as you wait for the opportunity, the dragon can fly to the sky and the tiger roars in the forest.
But the hexagram of the last hexagram is Lao Yin. In short, if you can get over the hurdle in front of you, your future will be limitless. But the hurdle in front of you is really too difficult to cross. It's just death and no life.
In the vast world of heaven, there is still a glimmer of vitality, it depends on you whether you can catch it."
I was quite happy when he said the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the last sentence, I wanted to go up and give him a kick. Isn't this nonsense? I don't know that the obstacles in front of me are difficult? If I weren't sad, I would be here
What are you doing in the deep mountains and old forests?
I asked Taoist Meng, can we tell you something nutritious? Don’t think about my luck, but think about what I should do about the things in front of me.
Taoist Meng said yes, then I will calculate the innate hexagrams for you and see what you have experienced in the past few years.
He picked up the coins again, said this, and threw them on the table.
But then a scene that horrified me happened. Those three copper coins stood upright on the table!
