Outside Fenyue City, a barefoot old man in a simple blue robe and white hair and beard walked slowly.
This vicissitudes of life old man was holding a piece of canvas in his hand. On the canvas were the four characters "tongshen" and "fortune-telling".
When he appeared at the gate of Burning Moon City, the barefoot old man paused slightly and looked up at the snowy Burning Moon City in front of him. However, his face covered with vicissitudes of life showed an extremely deep smile.
"After waiting for so long, this day has finally come."
After a moment of pause, the barefoot old man walked into Fenyue City.
…
It was late at night when this happened, but the lights were brightly lit in the lord's palace of Fenyue City, and a large number of people were walking back and forth in a hurry.
In front of the door of the inner courtyard, several figures stood there, waiting anxiously. Wandering back and forth in the front was the Lord of Burning Moon City, Zhuo Yunfeng.
"It's been several hours, and the little cub hasn't been born yet?" Zhuo Yunfeng cursed secretly as he walked away.
"Father, don't be too anxious. You have been waiting for nine years and nine months. What does a mere few hours mean?" A stern young man of sixteen or seventeen years old next to him said with a smile.
This stern young man is Zhuo Peng, Zhuo Yunfeng's eldest son.
Zhuo Yunfeng had a son and a daughter before. He also had an eldest daughter, but she was not in Fenyue City.
"What do you know? I'm worried just because that little kid has been in your mother's belly for nine years and nine months." Zhuo Yunfeng said.
Zhuo Peng smiled sadly, but couldn't say more.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked in.
"Sir, there is a person outside the door asking to see you," the servant said.
"It's already this hour. The Taoist who is not Taoist is gone." Zhuo Yunfeng waved his hand. He was so anxious now that he had no time to see an irrelevant Taoist.
"Sir, that Taoist calls himself Taoist Xuan Shen. He said that as long as I tell you his name, you will definitely meet him," the servant said.
"Xuanshen Taoist?" Zhuo Yunfeng was suddenly startled, and even Zhuo Peng next to him showed a look of surprise.
Taoist Xuan Shen... is a famous figure in Anjiu County in recent times. It is said that even the governor of Anjiu County has great respect for this Taoist Xuan Shen.
Many big families and top experts in Anjiu County say that he is a god.
Many people even speculated that this Taoist Xuan Shen might be a super strong man.
And such a big shot is not something that a small city lord like him can offend at all. It is almost impossible for him to see him on weekdays, but now this Taoist Xuan Shen actually comes to visit in person?
"Is it really Taoist Xuan Shen?" Zhuo Yunfeng was a little unsure.
"I don't know, but he said so himself," the servant said.
"Then invite you quickly." Zhuo Yunfeng just finished speaking, but immediately waved his hand, "No, I will go and greet you personally."
With that said, Zhuo Yunfeng and Zhuo Peng immediately walked out of the mansion.
Soon the two of them arrived at the door of the mansion, and there was indeed a barefoot old man wearing a blue robe and holding a canvas standing there with a smile.
Zhuo Yunfeng took a closer look and found out just from his attire that the Taoist in front of him was indeed exactly the same as the legendary Taoist Xuan Shen. Moreover, the Taoist in front of him gave Zhuo Yunfeng an unfathomable feeling, as if the other person was Wang Yang.
The sea, what he could guess was just a drop of water in the sea.
"It's definitely Taoist Xuan Shen." Zhuo Yunfeng was determined and immediately saluted, "Zhuo Yunfeng, I have met the Taoist priest."
"City Master Zhuo is so polite. It must be Pindao who has met City Master Zhuo." Taoist Xuan Shen also returned the greeting.
"I wonder why Chang Jin is here tonight?" Zhuo Yunfeng said humbly. If in normal times, Taoist Xuanshen came to visit in person, he would definitely invite Taoist Xuanshen in for a detailed discussion immediately. No matter what the other party came to do, but
Today, he was anxious about the situation in the inner courtyard, so he did not want to exchange too many pleasantries with Taoist Xuan Shen.
"City Master Zhuo, to be honest, Pindao came here specifically for the little one who is about to be born in the inner courtyard today." Taoist Xuan Shen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhuo Yunfeng and Zhuo Peng were both shocked.
The maids and servants nearby also looked surprised.
It should be noted that the city housewife Luo Xinqin has been pregnant for nine years and nine months without giving birth to a child. This is not something worthy of publicity. Therefore, Zhuo Yunfeng had long ago warned not to spread anything about the inner courtyard. Like Luo Xinqin today
The fetus in Xinqin's belly was about to be born. Except for some people in the inner courtyard of the city lord's palace, no outsiders knew about this.
But now, this Taoist Xuan Shen is a prophet and knows that the fetus is about to be born.
"City Lord Zhuo, don't you invite me in?" Taoist Xuan Shen said with a smile.
Under the guidance of Zhuo Yunfeng and Zhuo Peng and his son, Taoist Xuan Shen also came to the door of the inner courtyard.
As soon as he arrived here, Zhuo Yunfeng could no longer calm down when he thought of the situation inside, and continued to wander around.
Seeing this, Taoist Xuan Shen on the side smiled slightly and said, "City Lord Zhuo, there is no need to be so anxious. Nothing will happen to Madam Ling and the fetus in her belly. It's just that the time has not come yet, so the fetus has not been born yet."
Zhuo Yunfeng immediately stopped and looked towards Taoist Xuanshen, "The Taoist Master said that the time has not come yet, so I don't know when the fetus in my wife's belly will be born?"
"It's midnight, and it's still half an hour later." Taoist Xuan Shen said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone present frowned.
"Master Xuan Shen, why are you so sure?" Zhuo Yunfeng said.
Although the outside world has always said that Taoist Xuan Shen is so miraculous, Zhuo Yunfeng has never seen it with his own eyes, so he is still skeptical in his heart.
"The poor Taoist observes the sky. The heavy snow that has fallen for nine years and nine months in Fenyue City will completely stop in the second half of the night. By that time, the heavy snow will have fallen for nine months.
Year nine months and nine days!”
"Nine is a series of heaven and earth. Thirty-nine is a series of series. At this point, the heavy snow should stop. Naturally, the son in Madam Ling's belly will also be born." Xuan Shen Dao said.
Hearing this, Zhuo Yunfeng became more suspicious.
Zhuo Peng next to him said directly: "Taoist Master, what you said is too far-fetched, isn't it? What is the number of thirty-nine? If you talk about it like this, if the fetus in the mother's belly is born nine hours later,
, isn’t it nine years, nine months, nine days and nine hours? Isn’t that the number of forty-nine? Also, how do you know that the fetus in my mother’s belly is a boy?”
"Peng'er, don't be rude." Zhuo Yunfeng scolded him repeatedly, but deep down in his heart, he actually thought so too.
What Taoist Xuan Shen said was too incredible, and he couldn't believe it.
But in the face of doubts, Taoist Xuan Shen just smiled faintly and said, "Just watch."
Time passes.
"Master, it's already time." A servant said.
"Yeah." Zhuo Yunfeng nodded slightly.
Another half hour passed.
"Sir, it's already half an hour after midnight," the servant said again.
But the servant hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Wow!"
A crisp baby cry suddenly sounded from the houses.
