By Jia Xiuzhen

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and several people stood on the jade steps of Qianyuan Hall.

King Xin looked up at the flashes of lightning dancing like silver snakes, and the old Taoist who bumped his elbow to the side: "Old Taoist, tell me, how many lives were tossed by you teaching the wind and rain back then. At this time, you have no point Are you timid?"

Taoist Cangpu smiled wryly and said: "My lord, you old man, don't go back and bring up the stupid things that day when I see you again. The little old man realized that he had made a big mistake just because he had cultivated some enlightenment. Kung Fu seeks some benefits for the common people, so as to offset some of the crimes of the day."

Xin Wang smiled: "Oh? Could it be that your ancestors of Tiandao also traded in the same way as here, buying and selling, and they can be matched?"

Cangpu Taoist said seriously: "But there is no. The crime is punished, and the blessing is rewarded. I only hope that when the thunder comes, I can get a ray of protection, so as to avoid the end of the soul disappearing. In the next life, I can save some spirituality to reincarnate Bar."

King Xin just shook his head in disbelief.The emperor saw that the rain was very heavy, Fang nodded and said: "Drought has been reported in several places, and it is the first heavy rain in Beijing. This year is not looking good. If it is as you said, it will get colder and colder in the future." , if this year continues to be short of years, the world... may not be able to live halfway."

Taoist Cang Pu hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the heavens have the virtue of being good at life. If there is a change, it must respond. It's just that people change with the sky and the earth, so it should be no problem. And your majesty foresees it first, and it has moved in several places. Let’s get up, this year we’ll divide it up by chapter first, and then add up the numbers, so we can save some experience, and there will definitely be better ones in the coming year.”

Because the Taoist had seen the rain five days earlier, he was summoned to inquire.Several droughts this year have also been talked about by him early in the morning, and no one doubts him now.Just trusting the king is not enough: "Old Taoist, you can only look at the wind and rain's idea? You can't work harder and practice more, so you can come up with a pill that prolongs life, and you will get more credit. no."

The old Taoist just shook his head, "My lord, it's not easy to know the time of day. Now that the little old man has not yet entered the Olympic Games, he is just scratching his head. How dare he say anything else." King Xin didn't care, and saw you later I have to say a few words.

When the old Taoist retreated, King Xin followed the emperor to the south study. Seeing that the emperor's brows were full of sorrow, he said with a smile: "If you want me to say, the emperor is still too polite to the old Taoist. Back then they could house some pigs. The sheep are stirring up the wind and rain around the capital, so there may be no way out now. If there is a drought, force him to go where it rains, and just use his gang of disciples and grandchildren to talk about it, and it will work."

The emperor stopped in his tracks and glared at him: "Why are you still so confused! In this world, isn't it 'easy to fail and difficult to succeed'? What we want is long-term peace and stability, can we use their methods? That old man is very good now, next time Don't talk to him about Yanshou Pills anymore. You should use your brain anyway. If he has the ability, wouldn't it be good to eat Xiaoyao Tiandi by himself? He still comes to us and kowtows and kneels? Besides, this is the time of day Rainwater is related to the livelihood of the country and the people, and it is much more effective than living ten or twenty years longer."

King Xin nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, that's right. Why don't Brother Huang let the harem go home again this year? As for how many methods we used at that time, we just couldn't force those people to come out of their seats. If you are in a hurry, you can go to the emperor father." Crying, it really makes people's teeth cold. Now, after visiting relatives everywhere, I really can't make it through those who fell ill! I got three or four important seats for nothing. It really saves worry and effort and makes a lot of money. Earn. If according to what the old Taoist said, this year will only be colder, I think Brother Huang should let them go home again in three or nine days..."

The emperor couldn't listen any more, turned his head and glanced at him lightly, and King Xin swallowed all the words behind with a grunt.The two fell silent again, and walked slowly in the corridor one after the other.

In the violent storm, there were two figures on the wilderness road outside Beijing, and they talked and said, but the rain couldn't fall on them at all.When I got closer to see it, it was a monk, and the monk said: "Although the rain is not strange, it is a bit strange when it comes down at this time."

The Taoist said with emotion: "I don't know which piece of heaven's chess was touched, so many things are messed up. What's the use of you and me running all over the world like this? Those who deserve to die are still alive, but those who deserve to live are dying in vain. .I'm afraid that not only Jing Huan's place, but also Lord Yan's Difu will have to change its destiny."

The monk also frowned: "You said that the Lin Mansion is now very prosperous. That mansion should have belonged to the Wu family. This is a good time, but this luck cannot be passed. When I hurried to see their ancestral tomb, However, Feng Shui has been changed. In that way, the three-fold compass cannot calculate the human traces of the great karma of heaven and earth, so it can be seen that it is Tiangai. Since it is Tiangai, what can we do? Even we are still in the destiny.”

The Taoist also sighed: "It's getting more and more confusing. It was originally recorded in the "Pan Gu Jing", 8000 years ago, there was a saying that "the sky and the earth were reversed, the stars fell like rain, all numbers were chaotic, and the fairy calendar was rebuilt." At that time, could it be that we were lucky, and we also met once?"

The monk smiled wryly and said: "All numbers are chaotic. There are fixed numbers and variables in the first place. We call immortals gods because we know those fixed numbers. Paper, how is it different from ordinary people? It’s just that you live a few more years. How can you cultivate Taoism and accumulate virtue?” After finishing speaking, the two shook their heads and sighed.

As early as a few years ago, from the time when Wu Hanshui was in chaos, and then even Jing Huan was injured, the world in this world became quite strange.The monk Daoyuan also has some Taoism, and he knows the fate of some days.It's just that it can't be done right now.I also suspected that some seniors were able to change their luck, but they never found the slightest trace.When you find out that the world is not on the right track, you have already been born in the world of mortals, and because of the entanglement between the birth and the here, it is not in the calculation.

That's all for the few around, only those who come from the illusory realm are mostly "newborn souls", and what kind of karma they will be contaminated with this time when they enter the world for the first time is determined for six or seven minutes in the future.Now there are a few mistakes, especially the participation of Fairy Jiangzhu, they probably expected the phantom plan, but now Jiangzhu seems to be slack in repaying tears, if things go on like this, how can she be kept?

Because they were also involved in this matter from the beginning, they hurriedly searched for the Yin and Yang houses on the north and south sides, and it turned out that they changed their fate and Feng Shui.If it is artificial, the cause and effect can be counted back.It can be considered that several compasses have been broken, but there is still no trace of people.It can be seen that it is not man-made, only the creation of nature can explain it.This is not in their calculations, so they have to give up.Even I am not sure about myself, it seems that the number of days that I have been sitting still has suddenly changed.Even they themselves are included in this number, but it is difficult to know and calculate, so why not be afraid?

It was also a coincidence, Guiliu was originally a puppet, and she was born of the five elements, how could she be counted in this small world?Naturally, it can't be counted as the so-called "human footprint", so it has to be regarded as "destiny".Poor monks and Taoists, if they ran to Lin's and Jia's mansions and saw it, they would naturally know that there was such a 'person' who acted abnormally.But these people who are used to pinch their fingers and do mental calculations, how can they have such leisure time?Just believe in a "number" that can be counted.But I don't know that the "number" has been changed...

The two of them walked silently, when the Taoist suddenly thought of something, he said with a smile: "It's not all good things, at least those old monsters are no longer haunting us now. Although we shouldn't be afraid of them, it's just that if we get married for nothing, we can still get rid of them." I really don’t know how many lifetimes can be counted.”

But the monk said: "Tell me, could it be that they have already known the location of the Fallen Moon Realm? That's why they abandoned us."

The Taoist shook his head: "Did you forget that the Nine Heavens Yundong Lingbao appeared in the world last time? Even if it was only for a moment, it can't be hidden from the fate. If they really got something, the sun will already be shining in the sky, and the auspicious clouds will be densely covered."

The monk nodded and said, "That's true."

The Taoist said again: "Now we have all read it, and we really can't help. Since the fate has changed, if we change it again, we will change the fate, and the cause and effect cannot be recited by you and me. But since we know it, we can't help it." It’s time to pay a visit to the Illusory Realm, but it’s inconvenient for Jing Huan to show up, so at least we’ll pass the news on. When we face each other in the future, there’s no fault.”

The monk repeatedly said, "That's the reason", and the two of them went together to report the news to the illusory realm.

He also said that Jia Lan talked with his aunts at home, and he was very confident, and when he returned to the academy, he poured out his own set of "fallacies and heresies".Before Mr. Zhu spoke, Mo Yansong couldn't help but sneer: "Oh? According to you, you are now in the Duke's mansion, and your aunt is a virtuous concubine, and you can't handle any major family affairs. In fact, there is really no reason for Guangzong Yaozubo to stand out from others, but what does this mean? Compared with those real Jiaoliang hakamas, you are much better than the top, and you are more than the bottom, very good, very good."

Jia Lan didn't look up when he heard the voice was wrong.He had thought about those words just now for a few days, and there was nothing wrong with them. When the uncle wanted to get angry, he just let him do it.Seeing him like this, Mo Yansong didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Do you know how many people sat in the position of concubine in the old saint's palace? How many died well? How many were involved in the secret affairs of the palace and affected the tribe You also know that the title of the Duke of Rong in your mansion has been downgraded, and the Duke’s Mansion has long been not worthy of its name? Or have you looked at the accounts of your mansion in recent years, have you been able to make ends meet? One more thing, do you know where the Duke of Rong’s mansion belongs to? One faction, what is the situation now, who is the number one enemy, and who is the other party?" Seeing Jia Lan's dumbfounded, Mo Yansong continued cruelly, "The two houses of Rongning and Ning are connected with each other, and the inside and outside of the two houses are clean. ? Is there any secret deed that would be a heinous crime if exposed?"

Sweat gradually began to ooze from Jia Lan's forehead, and Mo Yansong snorted coldly: "If you really don't pay attention to fame and wealth in this world, then that's all. What you said just now is an iceberg Isn't it ridiculous to use it as a backing to calculate what you should do? Even if you can't analyze the situation in front of you in detail and understand the truth, you dare to make up your own mind. "A blind man rides a blind horse, and he faces the abyss in the middle of the night." Humph, my son is close."

Jia Lanwei didn't know what was right, so Zhu Henian let out a long sigh and said, "At first I only asked about your aspirations, but you couldn't say anything reliable. Because aspirations are just your personal affairs, and I have never discussed your family background with you. Now when you talk on the phone, it always means that the children of the family have few things that ordinary people lack to pursue, so it is difficult to make progress. It seems that you take this family background seriously. If so, you should take a clear look at yourself Your family background and situation. You don’t seem to be sincerely clear about it? If you take things for granted, if you say you’re mediocre, it’s a compliment.”

Mo Yansong stopped Zhu Henian, and only said: "Come to me tomorrow to pick up a few copies of "Floating Dust Records" to read, and it will not be too late after reading it." He took his junior and younger brother and floated away, leaving only Jia Lan was in a daze.

On the second day, Jia Lan went to wait outside Mo Yansong's yard before dawn. When Mo Yansong heard the report from the little book boy, he said, "Move the stack of books for him." He never even saw each other.

How could Jia Lan dare to complain, so she stayed behind closed doors to study for several days, never even went out to eat, and only fished some at will from the Dragon Clothes Realm.It really opened up a whole new world.One must know that he is still young, and others like him have only just learned the Four Books.He got to where he is now because he took that pill in his early years, enlightened his wisdom, and met Mr. Zhu by chance.

It's just that no one treats him as an "adult" who wants to start a career.There are many books in Li Wan's place, but they are all miscellaneous notes and anecdotes.Zhu Henian took him with him and cared more about the real situation of people's livelihood, fearing that if he was born into a wealthy family, he would easily make jokes like "why not eat minced meat" if he was not careful.Who will talk about the struggle between you and me in the officialdom, and the life and death among families with this idea?Therefore, if we want to know more about the rise and fall of the sect here, it is better to know more about the sect of immortality in Canglan Realm.

Now looking at the book in hand, "Shangnu, the whole family will be punished"; "Suspected concubine Yan Zhen's son, inspected the three palaces, but failed, and then punished the three clans with his clan's rebellion"; "Yu Qinglian, but the eldest son and The third son relied on his father's power to be domineering and domineering, and he kept many strong servants, causing public complaints. Three years after Yu's death, he was punished for several crimes and punished by confiscating his family's house and exiling him... There are some wealthy families who were impressive a moment ago, but disappeared in a blink of an eye. Since then, there are those who have declined, and there are even those who have wiped out their families.Thinking back to what I said the day before yesterday, I was so ashamed that I wanted to drill a hole to the other side of the ground and never come out again.

I couldn't sit still in the house, and didn't want to talk to anyone, so I sneaked out of the yard and ran wildly into the depths of the back mountain to get some air.

It was also due to fate that the magician who once set up Nightmare Town to collect people's souls stumbled when he encountered a "wind-twisting hairpin" that Li Wan brought out from the Pearl Realm when he was designing Sister Baoyufeng, and he did not dare to rest in the same place. , and sneaked into this mountain.Where he is, there are several tricks in front of him, if ordinary people come, they will never go in.It's just that Jia Lan bumped his head wildly today, and accidentally broke through it, and ran into his forbidden circle.

The blood-clothed boy who was accompanying him jumped out, stopped Jia Lan and said, "Where did you come from! What are you doing?" Jia Lan saw such a wicked person coming out of the corner, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and waited to move forward. I was stopped. "What a prisoner! Did you say you didn't hear?!" The boy was also domineering by nature, and he went straight up and pointed at Jia Lan's face. If it were an ordinary child, his eyes might be lost.

I don't know how Jia Lan moved his hand, but there was a slap, and the child was thrown aside.Jia Lan didn't leave again, but stopped there and looked at him coldly.The blood-clothed boy looked at the young man, who had lived in the world for quite some time. Seeing Jia Lan like this, he was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, stood up and waved his palms towards him.But the palm was so red that it was soaked in blood, but it meant to take someone's life.

Jia Lan's expression was dull, and he casually took from the Dragon Clothes Realm the black short knife his mother gave him to cut trees to open the way, swiped it, and there was another "snap", this time it wasn't Naxiaoer who fell off, he was the only one His arm fell into the grass beside the road, and blood was oozing from both ends.With a cry of misery, an extremely tall black figure swept over from the depths of the bushes, grabbed the child in his arms, stuffed some pills into his mouth, and then turned back to stare at Jia Lan and said, "Where did it come from?" Baby, you are so cruel and merciless!"

The man was wearing a gray and black Taoist robe, which was completely attached to his body, as if he had grown it himself.Now he was talking with his head down, and he couldn't even see his face clearly, and his voice was even worse, like the sound of scraping rust with a blunt knife on a rainy day.Jia Lan said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I'm just giving an eye for an eye."

Then the man looked up at Jia Lan, and saw a boy in his teens. The clothes on his body looked like he came from a wealthy family. Life is in your eyes. It’s just that there are places in this world where power is not recognized. If you want to live, you can cut off one of your own hands and keep the knife, and the deity will be merciful and forgive you. I don’t know.”

Jia Lan laughed loudly and replied: "As expected, if you are old, you should be shameless. You can't complain about raising such a young one. If you want something from the master, it's fine. Let the young master see how much you weigh."

The weirdo was suspicious and asked him, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Jia Lan frowned and looked at him: "What's so scary about you?"

This strange man raised his head just now, his face was pale, his eyebrows, eyes, beard and mouth were all crowded together, it was quite permeating to see him in this dark and dense forest.It's just that Jalan's demon heart is born on his own, and he really doesn't know what fear is.This time, after looking at it carefully, he said: "It's really not good-looking."

The strange man couldn't stop laughing when he heard the words, and said: "Okay, okay, it seems that the young master is also a person with some background. If we meet each other on a regular basis, I will have a heart of pity. This matter is special, You should never have barged in at this time, so I have no choice but to ask you to keep your eyes bright when you reincarnate in the next life!"

Before he could finish speaking, he stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a jet of black air was sprayed towards Jia Lan.When Wannian Yonggusuo was waiting, the blood dragon attack moved first, and a suction force was generated from between Jia Lan's eyebrows, sucking all the black air in at once.While the weirdo was waiting to capture Jialan's soul, Jialan stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, asking him, "There are too few, but there are more?"

The strange man was shocked, put down the blood-clothed boy in his hand, and asked Jia Lan seriously: "Who are you? Why can you break my evil spirit?! But Tiangang Beidoumen invited you here?!"

Jia Lan shook his head: "You are old-fashioned, I think you have never met a decent teacher to teach you. The young master taught you to be a good boy, don't let others say nothing, how can you show yourself first."

The Taoist didn't hesitate any longer, and took out a black whisk from his sleeve, muttering wildly, seeing thousands of black strands sprouting from the whisk and rushing towards Jialan.Jia Lan still stood still, those black strands had all penetrated from between his brows, controlled by how the old man chanted mantras, they only went to that place.

Seeing that a magic weapon that he painstakingly forged was about to be destroyed by human hands, the old Taoist felt anxious and wanted to retreat.Jia Lan sensed his intentions, took two or three steps to approach him, grabbed the handle in his hand, and smiled: "The old man is quite old-fashioned." The old man was frightened and angry, and he opened his mouth without any hesitation. Thick black sprayed directly on Jialan, and several green-faced and fang-toothed evil spirits rushed towards Jialan in mid-air.

Seeing this, Jia Lan let out a "huh", thinking to himself, could it be that "meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land"?Before he could make a move here, he suddenly heard shouts from mid-air, seven or eight men of different ages and heights suddenly appeared, and fought with those evil spirits without saying a word.

The old Taoist was shocked, and cursed: "It's an old demon! Thank you for hiding it well!" After changing several formulas and spells, Jia Lan didn't care about it. With a cruel heart, he suddenly pressed his finger behind his ear.Jia Lan was still puzzled, and then one of them shouted: "Your Majesty! Stop him quickly, this old Taoist wants to escape." Jia Lan was about to stop him, but it was too late. A look of suicide.

Just when he was wondering, he heard a "buzz" in his ears, but it was the Wannian Yonggu lock opened, the suction between his brows increased greatly, and suddenly he was dazed as if there was a cloud of gray mist inside him.The blood dragon was completely naked, and rolled the mist back and forth in it. After a long time, the thing had been washed clean and white, and then it was released again.The lock also opened.After the thing came out, Jia Lan couldn't see it at all, and he didn't know where it was going.

Looking around again, shredded paper was scattered all over the place, presumably it was just a few evil spirits.Looking at the blood-clothed child again, there was only a pool of pus and blood wrapped in his clothes.I couldn't help being stunned, and my mind was full of words: "This, is this a goblin? Is it a ghost? There really is such a thing in this world?" "I killed it? I killed it!" "Oh, I killed it!" "No, no, my master killed a... monster? Which one is this?" "Damn it! I have subdued demons!!"

Several people around him stood beside him, seeing his expression remained unchanged, they exchanged winks, and suddenly stepped forward and bowed down in unison, saying: "You little ones have seen the king!"
