Chapter 22: Reincarnation of the Immortals
Daoist Li's expression at that time was like this, O_O"Good, so terrible, the old Chinese medicine is weaker than this old man, this is the real orthopedic holy hand."
"It's really old, the bones are useless," the old man sighed, pulled a gourd from his waist, poured out the wine and carefully cleaned the kneecaps, took a sip intermittently, and signaled the Taoist priest to drink or not, seeing that he didn't react, he enjoyed himself.
Before he could react, the old man installed this knee like a spinning top, and replaced it with a cartilage by the way.
"If it was before, the old man traveled south and north, and he was idle thousands of miles away, but now he can't survive the years~"
How did Daoist Li not know that he had met a master, and he changed his face and was respectful, "The younger generation Qingcheng sent Li Changsheng to meet the seniors, I don't know who the seniors' surnames are, and where are the immortals?"
"Hehe, the old man had a common name a long time ago, and I can't remember it now," the old man waved his hand casually, "but now everyone calls me a catcher." β
This bad old man is really a great man, the founder of the Six Gates, the contemporary moment of Momen, the first-class master in the world, and the minister who entrusted the state affairs with the emperor before his death, and the influence of this dynasty is almost no less than Jiang Ziya in Zhou, Zhuge Kongming in Shu Han, and more importantly, he is the master of the cold-faced Sima!
"Hahaha, the old man is very famous, don't you feel shocked," However, this old catcher is not a little superior, and he is proud.
"Uh-" Daoist Li didn't know what to say for a while, and only said after a while: "Didn't the seniors happen to meet the juniors?"
"It's a coincidence, it's not a coincidence, the old man originally went to Luodu to look for you, but he was empty, but fortunately, the girl's rice was not bad, and it was not in vain; β
"Then what is the prefectural hunter looking for me?"
"You're embarrassed to say, where did you kidnap the old man's precious apprentice, I haven't seen him for almost two months!" the old guy blew his beard and glared.
Daoist Li suddenly shouted that he was wronged: "Senior, this has something to do with me, how do I know about Brother Sima running away from home, besides, with his skills, can we kidnap it?"
Who knew that the Hou scratched the soles of his feet, and became indifferent: "Also, my apprentice has been well-behaved for more than 20 years, and it is not a big deal to occasionally have a temper, if you really have the ability, it is better to give me an apprentice grandson outside, besides, the old man is mainly looking for you." β
"Looking for me?" the Taoist priest wondered even more, are we so acquainted.
"Aren't you curious, why didn't I look for my apprentice on Xiaoyu Mountain, but I invited you, and he was sure that you could be of great use?"
"It's your idea!"
"Although my Momen Xiaoshu is not as capable of deducing the heavenly machine as the Taoist, the star turner can also deduce the general trend, the general trend has the inside and outside, the outside is the sky, the inside is the man, the operation law of the stars and the earth's crust, this is the heavenly potential, and the trajectory of thousands of characters constitutes the human potential, but in you, the old man can't calculate that you have anything to do with this world, or even traces of the past and present lives, so I sayββ"
Daoist Li's frightened soul is about to disperse, this old man is already so powerful that he can even guess the identity of his traverser, what should I do? What should I do? Kill people and kill people, uh, I don't seem to be able to even beat the other party's finger, run away? Just kidding, the six doors can even be dug out by Jiang Yang thieves who have been incognito for decades, not to mention that it is a non-professional like him, the Taoist priest's legs are weak, and he is about to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy......
"Which way are you the reincarnation of an immortal?"
'Click-'
"What are you doing?" the catcher looked curiously at the guy opposite, who seemed to be squatting but not squatting, as if he was not sitting, and froze there.
"It's nothing, move your muscles and bones," the Taoist priest was expressionless, and sat back with a limp on his face, his muscles strained.
"Little brother, you haven't answered the old man's question yet," the expression of the catcher finally became serious, and there was still a little respect, no matter how small an immortal is, he is also an immortal, and no matter how mortal he is, he is also a mortal, not with different strength, but at different levels.
"Well, it's not a secret, my master said, Poor Dao had a vision when he was born, when the entire Qingcheng Mountain was raining from the sky, the ground was surging golden lotus, and the tigers, wolves, jackals, leopards, cows, snakes, horses and sheep on the mountain all knelt on the ground......"
Misunderstanding, it's definitely a big misunderstanding! Daoist Li said nonsense, but he was shouting in his heart, you can't calculate it all because Dao Ye came through, as for why he ran to Xiaoyu Mountain without anything, our main purpose is to find a daughter-in-law, and why he can fight through the thousand-year-old ghost mother at the last moment, relying on the wisdom of Dao Ye - as well as the hexagram of the hairless donkey and the blessing of Guan Erye, of course, the latter two are slightly more important.
Maybe this old catcher thinks so, this kid can't calculate the background, and ran to Xiaoyu Mountain at a critical moment, and there is a half-immortal donkey mount, that seems to have only one explanation, the other party is the reincarnation of the heavenly immortals, and came here to completely solve the hidden danger of this ghost mother;
This is really a big misunderstanding when Guan Er Ye Huarong saw Cao Cao on the road - a big misunderstanding!
"However, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, you can completely pull up the tiger skin and set up a banner!"
However, the more the Hou listened, the more he frowned, he was well-informed, even the overseas scattered immortals had seen not one or two, although there were not many immortals who were reincarnated in the mortal world, every few hundred years, there would always be a few, where was the Taoist priest so exaggerated, the immortals went down to earth, and the next will definitely not be the real body, it will only be a doppelganger or the seed of good and evil, and some don't even know their original faces; γ
Daoist Li saw that the other party's expression was wrong, it seemed that his cowhide was about to blow up, and the guy who pointed to the sky and the ground seemed to be coming to his old man's house.
"What you're saying is true?"
"This-" The Taoist priest saw that the cowhide was about to be blown off, and quickly blinked: "Actually, the poor Dao is not clear, the above is what my master told me." β
"Then on Xiaoyu Mountain, your divine power?"
"Poor Dao doesn't remember anything. β
Daoist Li was pretending to be stupid, and the Hou Hou looked at him deeply, but he also stopped the topic and asked instead, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, just turn around, turn around," although the rumors of this capture marquis among the people are very good, but the mastermind behind Jiafu is clearly a member of the imperial court, maybe there is something involved, and Daoist Li decided to keep it secret before he figured out the truth.
"The old man is going to catch snakes, and there is just a lack of a hand-out, can you kid go far away?"
"Well, there are still things to do in the poor road, important things," what are you kidding, the apprentice is in the master's pit, and you are a public toilet when you are the master, but then again, he does have a question that he wants to consult a professional.
"How do you join the Xuandu Division?" said the Hou Hunter strangely: "It turns out that you are still a wild Taoist?"
According to the Hou said, there are three main ways to join the Xuandu Division, one is to go to Chang'an City, participate in the water and land conference held by the imperial court, the officials in charge of the audit will be selected for admission, and sometimes the emperor Lao'er will personally preside over it, a bit of a singer competition, the world's first martial arts conference; The three major factions of Yunxiao, which is equivalent to the Taoist Peking University Tsinghua University, have the kind of distribution when they come out, and the selection criteria for the third one are relatively vague, but they are also the one that does not care about their origins, that is, morality, meritorious service, and speech.
Literally speaking, Lide, even if you are not famous, you have to be famous, of course, if you have a positive reputation, meritorious service, such as cleaning up what powerful demons and monsters, or to prevent floods and floods in any place, this year's drought in Henan, you have to have the ability to attract rain and success, the recent example, Qiantang snake disaster, if you can get the dragon eggs, then there is basically a guaranteed quota, the final statement is that there are famous works on the market, such as Yuan Tiangang's push back map, Zhuge Kongming's eight hexagrams, Liu Bowen's baked cake song, this is more difficult, no one has achieved it so farγ
Daoist Li thought about it, the Qingcheng faction is not a big faction, there is no guaranteed quota, and he is not very happy to play with others to KO in the ring, it is too dangerous to fight the boss, and he doesn't have the ability to write books, so it seems that he has to continue to brush up his reputation!
Although in the mouth of the fat woman, Qiantang is a small place, but this is the general mentality of Luodu people, except for Chang'an City, other places are small places, no way, who let us be here to accompany the capital; but Qiantang County is an out-and-out big county, belongs to the jurisdiction of Suzhou in the six mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, there are nine compartments, seventy-six squares, sixteen townships, a few steps no less than the general county, the big city, and there are six scenes and twelve colors, it is a good place to visit the mountains and rivers.
After Li Daoshi and the catcher separated, he drove for a long time, and finally arrived in Qiantang County in the afternoon.
However, as soon as I entered the county, there was a smell of male yellow, and the choked Taoist priest sneezed several times, and there were many more people with forks and daggers in the county, and some of them were tied with bamboo pieces around their waists, or thick leather gloves, which could prevent the python from being entangled and biting, needless to say, they were all hunters and snake catchers who came nearby.
Even the notice at the gate of the city indicates that there are pythons infested in the north of the city, and good snake-catching generals from all walks of life are recruited.
"Chengbei," Daoist Li secretly remembered, how could Dao Ye not run there.
However, it has always been that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the changes can't withstand the bad luck, this Jia family ancestral hall is dedicated to the ancestors of the Jia surname, and others should not know much, and since the ancestral hall has been moved, the original place has become a taboo, and people who know may not be willing to say more; There is no doubt that the county chronicle is the best encyclopedia, and Qiantang is a big county, so there must be a record of the relevant county monument; the Taoist priest inquired about a vegetable farmer and learned that the county monument is in the eastern suburbs, that is, the land where the spring cow was whipped just a few days ago, otherwise he might not be able to think of the things that these poor and sour literati were doing.
Li Daoist hurried to the eastern suburbs outside the city, and the result was that the boundary was chaotic like the demolition site, "whipping spring ox" is a more important festival in ancient times, and it is also the faΓ§ade project of the officials of the past dynasties to express their persuasion to farming, at that time the officials will have fun with the people, and everyone competes for the clods on the mud ox, which means that the harvest in the coming year is abundant.
The Taoist priest walked through the dirt to the dozen big stones, squatted down and searched carefully, the word was small and dense, he looked at it for a long time, his eyes were almost spent, and he didn't see anything to do, just about to take a break, he saw a guy squatting not far away, full of interest.
"Why don't you ask this guy about it?" said Daoist Li, and walked over, "Dude, do you know that there is a record of the location of the Jia Family Ancestral Hall on this tablet?"
"To the east of the third stele, the sixth line of the positive number. The other party was very attentive and didn't look back.
Uh, this guy seems to be a little hanging, the Taoist priest was stunned, and did as he was told, sure enough, on the third stele, the location of the original Jia family ancestral hall was recorded, in the Eight Kings Cave in the north of the city, north of the city?!
"No, don't you want to be so pitted!" "Daoist Li's face is full of black lines, he is really in the north of the city, Daoist I have rejected the invitation of two waves of people one after another, just to not fall into the snake's nest, now it's good, it doesn't seem to be able to go if you don't want to, can't you go?
"Brother, what are you talking about?" The guy also stood up, looking dressed as a scholar, and his appearance was okay, but his eyes were a little dull, and he always gave people a childish feeling.
"What's the matter with you," Daoist Li replied angrily, turned around and walked back, who thought that this guy would follow.
"I heard Brother Tai talk about the Jia family ancestral hall, this Jia family ancestral hall was built during the Daxing period, after one hundred and sixty-six years, the famous minister Jia Wuru in the Taizu period also personally nominated, 'Jia Ming's family name, relying on the good story,' was struck by lightning fifty years ago, and then repaired ......"
Daoist Li stopped and looked at the other party suspiciously: "You are also surnamed Jia?"
"No, no, Xiaosheng's surname is Du, Du Shu Du Muwen. β
"Then how do you know more than what is written in this county chronicle?"
"It's not a secret, Xiaosheng loves to read books the most, this Qiantang County Chronicle, Xiaosheng has read six versions," Du Shu looked inexplicably proud.
"It turned out to be a nerd," Daoist Li pursed his lips, useless to be a scholar, "That Daoist asked you, this north of the city is entrenched by snakes, do you know how to avoid those snakes and enter the Eight Kings Cave?"
"Oh, I see, let Xiao Sheng think about it, it seems to be recorded in the "Dongting Chronicles" that there is a passage that can be surrounded from the outside into the back cave. β
Li Daoist didn't say a word, grabbed the other party's hand, and his eyes were full of sincerity: "To tell the truth, what Poor Dao admires most is that you scholars, you can know the world without leaving home, I see that brother, you are full of heaven, the earth pavilion is round, you must be a pillar of talent, and it is not known that you will enter the cabinet in the future. β
"So, let's study and study first, how should we go down that turning the corner?"
