White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World
Chapter 237 Human life matters
A large number of Chaoge people were crowded outside the spacious hanging stall, and it was impossible to see the end of the street.
The "Bodhi Taoist" came slowly and slowly, and the crowded crowd around him seemed to have cut off the water with a knife, and actually took the initiative to give way to a path.
When he got closer, he saw an old Taoist with white beard and immortal style sitting in the middle. He was wearing a yellow robe and had a wooden hairpin on his head, and there were two boys behind him to help with trivial matters.
"Haha, maybe gods can predict future fortune?"
As soon as Bodhi finished speaking, Jiang Shang was not born yet, and the child behind him waved his hand angrily.
"Didn't you see the cloth banner next to it? Everything can be calculated. Old sir, please hurry up. There are a bunch of people behind you waiting to give money..., uh, waiting for fortune telling!"
Hearing this, Bodhi just smiled and said nothing, but Jiang Shang hit the boy hard with the hexagram bucket.
"Don't be rude! Why don't you quickly apologize to the old gentleman!"
Although he didn't have much cultivation, he saw that the person coming was not contaminated by pollution, and mundane things were rushing to avoid him. How could he not know that this person had a great background?
It's just that his eyesight is limited, and he still can't tell whether this gentleman is a great sage or a good person from three generations.
The young boy couldn't help but grin in pain after being hit on the head, but Jiang Shang was Master Song's brother, so he didn't dare to be rude and presumptuous, so he had to bow down and apologize.
"Um... Damn it, sir. Please forgive me, sir!"
Bodhi waved his hand indifferently. Seeing this, Jiang Shang quickly poured a cup of fragrant tea and asked him to take it easy.
As the warm mist blows, a scent of tea that is even fresher than before hits my face.
"good."
After a brief sip, he put down the teacup.
"I heard that sir has the power of divination. If it's convenient, he can calculate for me where my future fortune opportunities will be."
"What's the difficulty? Since sir, you like Jiang, I will do some calculations for you."
Jiang Ziya didn't hesitate and immediately took out the tortoise shell that had been idle for a long time. This thing was an innate spiritual treasure given to him by his senior brother Guangchengzi when he came down the mountain.
For mortals, of course, there is no need for innate treasures, but if you want to predict the fortune of an immortal, you must have spiritual treasures to rely on. Otherwise, the mana will turmoil and the body will be unstable, and accurate results will not be obtained at all.
As a few copper coins were poured into the tortoise shell, green light immediately gathered from all directions, followed by the tinkling of copper coins, which began to involve the numerology and cause and effect of the person in front of him.
Jiang Shang originally thought that there was something innate that could be easily captured, but he didn't expect that the cause and effect of the copper coin that shook the person in front of him for a long time was not manifested, let alone pulled over.
The corners of Zhunti's lips slightly raised in the presence of the old god, the fruit of sainthood cannot be calculated by ordinary people, but since this is a test, he might as well let out a little breath and see what this nephew's skills are like.
In an instant, a magnificent Taoist rhyme came out, but it disappeared in an instant. Fortunately, the tortoise shell was still strong, and it finally caught a trace.
"call……"
Jiang Shang breathed a sigh of relief. Now that his reputation was so great, if he really embarrassed himself in front of the immortals, he would be speechless in front of his master and senior brothers.
After collecting the Qi Machine, the copper coins in the tortoise shell became crisper and crisper, and the green light around them became more and more obvious. Thanks to the cleverness of the two boys, they immediately closed the door "when they saw that the situation was not good", otherwise the Chaoge Immortal would I am afraid that my name will be spread throughout the three realms!
jingle--
Three copper coins fell out of the tortoise shell, forming the first line, the first of the six lines. (yao)
Jiang Shang remembered it in his heart and then put away the copper coins and shook the tortoise shell until six lines appeared, forming a hexagram.
"Um……"
He arranged and combined the six lines in his mind, waiting for him to calculate something with his fingers.
"Mr. Mingjian, this hexagram is called 'Huotian Dayou Hexagram'. It is an excellent hexagram. It says that everything will be prosperous when the noble is by your side. If you can seize the opportunity and not say soar into the sky, then what is in your heart will be You can definitely find it yourself!”
"Hahaha, I'll give you Mr.'s blessing."
Zhunti laughed. Although he also had the ability to calculate, he relied on the method of a saint and could not predict his own destiny.
And this Jiang Shang specializes in this art, and is more familiar with the mysteries of the Fuxi Bagua. In addition, he took the initiative to reveal the qi mechanism, so he was half right, but he didn't know if the other half could be fulfilled.
To say that what was on his mind at this time was not only the great prosperity of the West, but also the hope that his senior brother could break through Wuji as soon as possible. By then, they in the West would no longer have to look at Sanqing's face.
As for his own cultivation, he didn't care much. When he became a saint, he was a little "short of food and clothing". If he couldn't replenish his origin, it would be difficult to complete the Hunyuan realm.
Thinking of this, Zhundi let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Jiang Ziya with burning eyes.
It's a good thing that he didn't detect it, but when he examined it, he saw hundreds of qi in his heavenly spirit churning, and his luck, merits, and even fate were all ups and downs. It can be said that he became a fairy at the same time and a demon at the same time!
Zhunti was slightly dazed. Only then did he realize that Yuan Shi had never been in charge, and that Jiang Ziya was originally the one in charge of the disaster.
When Jiang Ziya saw the master in front of him looking at him with deep eyes, he felt very excited in his heart, as if his whole body, including flesh and bone, had been seen through, and there was no secret at all.
"Uh...Senior, you..."
"Haha, there is no need to panic. Since you have made good predictions for me, how can I, an elder, be stingy?"
As he spoke, Zhunti took out a bodhi seed from his sleeve. This was the object of his body's transformation, which could help the immortal resist a human killing disaster.
"It's not a good thing. Don't refuse, little friend. It's just that Chaoge is not a good place at the moment. If you don't have to, don't go looking for the whereabouts of King Zhou, lest you get burned."
After giving the treasure, Zhun Tifu gave a few more instructions. Jiang Shang was a very important person, so he couldn't make any mistakes here.
"Well... the king is so noble, how can he look down on me, a mountain villager..."
Jiang Shang naturally didn't know that the saint in front of him was trying to remind him. He just thought that King Zhou was stupid and might covet his magic power, so he didn't take it to heart.
But as an elder, Zhunti was also a fan of the authorities. How could Jiang Ziya be willing to help Zuo Xiqi if he had no experience in court and business?
The so-called one drink and one peck has actually been doomed for a long time.
"If you encounter difficulties in the future, you may wish to go to the West. As for the rest, it is up to you to understand."
"Senior is from the West..., eh! Where are the people?"
Just as Jiang Shang was about to salute, he realized that the person in front of him had turned into a ray of light, and after a moment's notice, the figure had disappeared.
"Huh! Is this person a certain senior brother from the West?"
He picked up the bodhi seed suspiciously, and saw that it looked like white jade with carvings on it, and there seemed to be golden light flowing inside, which made it look beautiful.
He had some guesses in his mind, but the two boys behind him were at a loss. The tortoise shell glowed without saying anything earlier. This big living person disappeared, which really shocked them!
"Jiang... Dao Zhang Jiang, that person..."
"Don't be rude, senior should be a Westerner..."
Jiang Shang was stunned for a moment when he said this, and then he shook his head helplessly. How could these mortals know anything about the West and the East? The more they talked about it, the more they would get confused.
"Okay, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you meet Mr. again in the future, be more respectful. Go and open the door. It's still early and I'll do some more calculations."
"Uh, yes."
When the door creaked open, the waiter found that there were not many people waiting outside.
Although Jiang Shang was not slow in predicting fortunes, he could not do it casually for the immortal. It had been at least half an hour now. Those who joined in the fun lost their patience and naturally went back to their respective homes.
At this moment, there were only a few hesitant people left in front of the store. They all came over after hearing about Jiang Shang's divination skills, and they all had worries and anguish and wanted to relieve themselves.
The woman who was waiting for him saw that the boy finally opened the door and hurried forward to ask.
"Is the Immortal Chief free?"
"Well, please come in."
After being beaten a lot, the boy no longer dared to think too high and politely invited the woman to the store.
Jiang Shang, who was sitting upright, saw tears in the visitor's eyes and a vague aura, and he already had some inferences in his mind that the two questions to be asked were indeed a matter of life and death.
"To be honest, sir, my husband went out to do business a few years ago, but there has been no news since he left, not even a letter. Just after you closed the door to thank your guests, I went to the hanging stall next to him to test the word "Dui". Who would have thought that he would be buried in the wilderness?"
Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help but cry, and started crying in the store. Seeing this situation, both the store and the outside were desolate.
But Jiang Shang in front of him didn't notice it at all, and instead spoke briskly.
"That's it. Don't cry, girl. This hexagram is just nonsense made by that person. I reckon your husband will be home soon!"
"What! Are you serious about this!"
When the woman heard this, she immediately stopped crying and hurriedly asked whether it was true or false. Jiang Shang just smiled, stroked his beard, and wrote the words on the paper in front of him.
"Since the two hills on the left are the starting point for your journey, won't you be home after crossing one more hill? This word should be a good word for you!"
The woman looked stunned for a moment, but she immediately realized, was this the original explanation of these words?
But the man just now said clearly that his husband was crushed by three mounds of soil and had no chance of survival!
"This this……"
Seeing that she couldn't believe it, the uncles and old women behind her who were familiar with Jiang Ziya's skills hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Hey, little girl, Mr. Jiang's skills are amazing. My golden ring that was eaten by the chicken has been found out. Your husband must be safe and sound as the divination says!"
"Yes! Girl, why not go home and wait, maybe it will be here soon!"
This person said he didn't believe it, but the two and three of them said so. The woman finally broke down in tears and laughed. She quickly took out a few copper coins from her arms and handed them to the boy, and then went home happily.
Sure enough, within three days the young couple came together to express their gratitude. Although it was not a big deal, this woman was a loyal person. She really thought that she would hang herself from the rafter after her husband died.
As the saying goes, human life is at stake. Now Jiang Ziya's fame has finally reached its peak, and even the surrounding princes and kingdoms have heard about it.
As for Chaoge City, it was even more prosperous. People were willing to come and have their fortunes figured out, regardless of big or small matters. Even those dandies had to ask Jiang Ziya to divine what they were going to eat today, so as not to make difficult choices for themselves.
In this way, the money received in such a business without capital is more than a hundred thousand? Jiang Ziya finally got rid of the entanglement of bad luck and "showed off his skills" all day long, earning a lot of humanitarian merit.
But Jiang Ziya's destiny would not stop at Chao Ge's fortune-telling. No, before he could become famous all over the world, an uninvited guest was attracted by the prosperous scene here.
The jade pipa spirit was leaving Chaoge and wanted to go to the surrounding small countries to eat people. Who would have thought that she would see such a sea of people just passing by the city. Even though she was well-informed, she couldn't help but be curious.
So she slowly lowered her cloud head and turned into a human girl to find her.
Wow——
In an instant, everyone was shocked. This girl probably didn't look like a fairy from heaven!
"Huh, what kind of girl is this? She's so pretty..."
Snapped!
The dude next to him slapped himself violently, leaving everyone around him stunned.
"Hey, it's not a dream! She is really beautiful!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment. The child was probably crazy.
On the outside, these mortals only thought they were young and beautiful, but on the inside, Jiang Ziya felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
His cultivation level is comparable to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but right now this evildoer is something extraordinary. His cultivation level has reached the realm of transformation, and he is not idle. If he hadn't possessed a spiritual treasure, he would have been kept in the dark. .
Just when he was about to use the tortoise shell to see through the true form of this monster, the visitor was already sitting in front of him. How could he see that her eyebrows were like spring daisy, her face was like peach blossoms, and her slender hands were like carved jade.
"Old sir, what are you looking at..."
Jade Pipa smiled, but unfortunately Jiang Ziya remained unmoved, the old god was still calculating something.
But the mortals crowded outside did not have such determination. They felt that their souls were about to be taken away, and a few dandies even left saliva behind!
"What does the girl want to do here?"
How could the monster be allowed to run wild when he was a disciple of a saint? Jiang Ziya felt a little determined in his heart, but he had to wait and see whether the monster would fall for the bait.
What I didn't expect was that this enchantress was not afraid at all and didn't take the old man Jiang Shang seriously at all.
"The old man is really good at joking. What else can a girl like me be besides fate?"
"Okay, then let me do the girl's palm reading."
"haha okay."
The girl gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing green jade fingers.
Seeing this, Jiang Shang couldn't help but be overjoyed, so before the monster could react, he grabbed the woman's pulse!
"Hmph! How dare a little evildoer act so arrogantly in front of my eyes!"
Jiang Shang was so strong when he got the handle, but it was only then that the jade Pipa realized that a disaster was coming. You must know that the pulse gate on this inch-inch ruler is the life gate of the demon clan, and even a child can restrain her by pinching it. A true spirit, let alone a descendant of the Immortal family?
"Hey, young man! Come and take a look, this old man is so ungrateful."
Now that there were so many mortals, she was pinched and unable to cast spells, so she had to use the words of everyone to force this guy to let go.
"Hey, Dao Zhang Jiang, what are you doing? Although this girl is beautiful, you can't force her! Besides, you have a wife at home, how can you be so rude?"
"Yes, yes, sir, let go quickly so as not to ruin your reputation!"
For a while, everyone came forward to criticize and admonish, no matter how reasonable Jiang Ziya was, he couldn't help but blush.
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more scolding, Jiang Shang had no choice but to let this monster suffer a little first!
boom!
I saw the hard inkstone slamming into the evil spirit, followed by a scream of blood as the beauty was dying!
"Killing!"
"Is this old man crazy?"
Everyone couldn't help but turn pale with shock. Some of the fast-footed ones ran directly to the government to report to the government. However, Jiang Shang didn't let go when he saw that the woman was about to die. He continued to smash the woman one after another. In the end, there was only a bang, and the inkstone was shattered on the spot. crack!
And the woman covered in blood is no longer alive and can no longer die.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shang was covered in blood, and the girl turned into a bloody person. The timid ones immediately bent down and vomited!
But in fact, these are all demonic illusions. How can Pipa Jing have any blood to shed? This is just a trick for mortals to see, so as to force Jiang Ziya to let go quickly.
"Don't be deceived by this evildoer. It will become clear when I show him his true form!"
Seeing the evildoer leaving Jiang Ziya, he immediately kneaded his hand and recited a mantra, but before the mantra could be cast, all the officials came shouting.
"The evil thief should stop being so arrogant! If he doesn't hurry up, he'll be captured immediately!"
The leading official drew his sword, but the immortal just pointed his finger and the sword turned into pieces of iron and flew away!
"What!"
Jiang Ziya didn't want to misunderstand the official, so he hurriedly defended himself.
"Your Excellency, it is clear that this girl was transformed into a monster. At this moment, I am immobilizing her true spirit so that she cannot escape. If you don't believe me, I can go to the Longde Hall to see the king and get to the bottom of this matter!"
Being insulted by so many mortals made him really angry, and he wanted to go to heaven to hear it regardless.
"this!"
The official became suspicious when he saw the soldiers being broken with one finger, but Quan Wei, a small official, could only take Jiang Shang back to the Yamen first and then let the superior officer make the decision.
In this way, Jiang Shang dragged the dead body through the streets and alleys until he reached the palace hall...
