Liaozhai: Starting from Inheriting Taoism

Chapter 283
That day, the fisherman shook his head and sighed because he was not good at fishing. Seeing this, Yuan Shoucheng thought that if he could help the fisherman solve his livelihood problem, he would surely become famous, so he made a noise to attract the fisherman's attention.

"That old gentleman, you are distressed because you didn't catch any fish. I can make a divination for you, maybe you can change your luck."

The fisherman glanced at Yuan Shoucheng and shook his head, "Sir, forget it, but I can't even get a penny out of my body, and I can't pay you."

Yuan Shoucheng became even more interested when he heard the words, "If I collect your divination gold in advance, how can I show my ability? This is great. I will make a divination for you first, and then you go fishing. Harvest, when you come back, just send the biggest one to me as a hexagram."

Can you do this?

When the fisherman heard it, he was naturally willing in every possible way, and he could do the fortune-telling without paying any money. Even if he was inaccurate, he would not lose anything.

The fisherman came to sit down in front of Yuan Shoucheng's booth, "I don't know how to calculate, sir?"

Yuan Shoucheng glanced at the fisherman, "I am best at counting words, so just give me a word."

This is embarrassing for the fisherman, who is a native of the sea and cannot read.

"You don't need to write it out, you can speak it out."

Yuan Shoucheng also felt that he was not thinking carefully, so he simply asked the fisherman to point out one word.

When the fisherman heard this, he was still able to do this, "I have been fishing by this river since I was a child, so let's test for fish."

Yuan Shoucheng nodded when he heard the words, "Fish, Kazuya Kazuya, when you come out of Chang'an City, you should pass a wheat field. You should walk along the nearest corner of the wheat field until you sit and fish by the Jing River. Sooner or later There must be something."

This works too!

The fisherman left the hexagram booth suspiciously, walked out of the city, and as expected passed a wheat field, remembering Yuan Shoucheng's words, the fisherman looked around, chose the nearest corner, walked forward, and soon came to the Jinghe River side.

After taking out the fishing things, the fisherman sat down, put the bait, and cast the hook. It was really strange. It was only a few moments before a fish actually bit the hook. The fisherman was overjoyed and hurriedly closed the rod.

Good guy, the fisherman knew that he had caught a big guy once he got started. Years of fishing experience told him that this fish could at least rank among the top three among his previous catches.

After struggling to pull up the pole, a carp jumped out of the water, swaying its tail on the hook.

Sure enough, it was a big guy. The fisherman hurriedly pulled back the rod and took the fish in his hands. Good guy, this fish weighs more than ten catties.

Now the fisherman really believed in Yuan Shoucheng's ability, otherwise how could he catch such a big fish as soon as he came up, put the fish into the fish basket, and the fisherman continued to bait and cast the hook.

It was really a turn of luck. The fisherman seemed to be hooked since then. Within a moment, one fish was hooked. They were all big fish, and one was even bigger than the first one. After half a day, the fisherman’s fish The basket was filled to the brim.

The fisherman greedily took off his coat and fished for another afternoon, but he couldn’t put the fish in the basket, so he wrapped it in his clothes until the sun went down, and the fisherman finally finished his rod and was ready to go home. Reluctantly.

After returning home, the fisherman with a full harvest was naturally welcomed and praised by his family. The fisherman immediately felt proud, but he did not forget who gave it all. The fisherman caught the biggest fish in the night Pick out one of them and put the other in a basin.

The fisherman was worried and stayed up all night, but the next day he was still refreshed, and hurried to Chang'an City, holding the fish basket in his hand, which contained the fish that the fisherman was going to dedicate to Yuan Shoucheng.

Seeing the fisherman from a distance, Yuan Shoucheng had a smile on his face, and he knew that his door had opened.

"Sir, you are really amazing. Yesterday, Lao Ke really had a change of luck. The fish he harvested were equal to Lao Ke's previous year's harvest. This fish was the biggest one that Lao Ke picked out overnight. If it came to give to Mister, please accept it.”

Yuan Shoucheng was not polite either, and directly took the fish basket, took out the fish from it, and put it in the box behind him.

"The old man trust me this time, haha, just solve the old man's confusion."

Seeing this scene, many people gathered around curiously. Among the crowd were those who saw what happened yesterday. After such an explanation, everyone was amazed. With this mentality, he began to ask Yuan Shoucheng for fortune-telling.

"Sir, how should Lao Ke take the bait today?"

Seeing more and more people gathering, the fisherman did not forget what the main purpose of coming today was, and hurriedly asked what was on his mind.

Yuan Shoucheng had expected it a long time ago, and it was not surprising that the fisherman, as his first customer after coming to Chang'an City, had some privileges after all. Don't be in a hurry to hook, wait for a while, and go south a hundred paces before hooking the best."

The fisherman was overjoyed when he heard the words, he now completely believed in Yuan Shoucheng's ability, "Thank you sir, thank you sir, I'll go now."

The fisherman walking on the road is already looking forward to his harvest today.

After the fisherman left, onlookers gathered around immediately, scrambling to ask Yuan Shoucheng to divination, but now it was Yuan Shoucheng's turn to set the rules, and when the hexagram sailed, the words "three hexagrams a day" appeared on it.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it. The fisherman had made a fortune teller just now. Doesn't that mean that there are only two fortune tellers left today?
"Sir, I came first, let me count first."

"Sir, I'll pay you three taels of silver, let me count it first."

"Three taels is nothing, I will pay five taels."

……

The hexagram booth suddenly turned into an auction site. Yuan Shoucheng had no grudge against money, so he decisively gave the two highest bidders to start divination. Although it was only two hexagrams, the income of these two hexagrams was more than what others earned in a day. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shoucheng would be hungry for marketing.

Watching the two leave, Yuan Shoucheng also put away the hexagram booth, and ignored the pleas of the onlookers.

From then on, Yuan Shoucheng opened up a market in Chang'an City. Every morning, the fisherman came early to deliver a fish, and Yuan Shoucheng often made divinations for him, so that the three hexagrams a day were only given to others. Opportunity for two hexagrams.

But who made Yuan Shoucheng's divination accurate? Those who had made the fortune-telling before came to fulfill their wishes, which made Yuan Shoucheng's reputation even bigger. It was really a source of money. After a long time, even Li Shimin heard of Yuan Shoucheng's reputation and came here in plain clothes. Forget it.

Because someone cleared the field, the exact calculations are unknown. Li Shimin lamented Yuan Shoucheng's clever means, and directly gave him the right to enter the palace. So far, Yuan Shoucheng has completed the first step of assisting the dragon and successfully won Li Shimin's favor. trust.

Watching the fisherman leave, Yuan Shoucheng made two fortune-tellings again, got up and went back, but what he didn't know was that he helped the fisherman to do fortune-telling every day. The fisherman's harvest was great, but the fish in the Jing River suffered disaster, and the fish in the river The lack of fish finally caught the attention of Jinghe Dragon Palace.

One day when the fisherman was fishing by the river, he happened to meet a woodcutter passing by, but this woodcutter was a close friend of the fisherman. Seeing that the fisherman had harvested a lot, the woodcutter asked the fisherman.

"I also know what you are capable of, old fellow. Why have you gained so much recently?"

If it was someone else, the fisherman would hide it, but the woodcutter is different, he is a trustworthy person, "brother, you don't know, I met a god-man, he made a divination for me every day, guiding me I came to this place where fish gather, and I was able to gain this, thanks to this man of God."

"There are such gods?"

"That's right, you catch less fish every day, why not fish with me too."

But the woodcutter shook his head, "Although I have gained less, I don't have so much right and wrong. I enjoy it alone, and it's very beautiful. Haha, brother, you fish first, and brother will go first."

Looking at the woodcutter, the fisherman shook his head, but he had no choice but to continue fishing.

What they didn't know was that Xunhe Yacha listened to his own words verbatim. Xunhe Yacha was also shocked at this moment. Dona can’t stand such fishing. Today, the fisherman can’t introduce the woodcutter, but tomorrow, if there are more good anglers like fishermen, the fish in the Jing River will be caught sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xunhe Yasha couldn't sit still anymore, and hurried back to the Dragon Palace, preparing to report the matter to the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Jinghe Dragon Palace.

Since the Dragon King of Jinghe was given a lot of power by Ao Run, the Dragon King of Beihai last time, he listened to Yuanzheng's words and started to cultivate with all his heart. It was the task of rainfall, and he also handed it over to his sons.

Xunhe Yasha returned to the Dragon Palace. At this time, Jinghe Dragon King was about to arrange the rain for this month. When he saw Xunhe Yasha come in in a hurry, he frowned, "Yasha, what's going on, you're in a panic, and it's time to come!" What kind of system."

Seeing that it was the Dragon King speaking, Yasha was overjoyed immediately, and knelt down in front of Dragon Palace.

"Dragon King, something is wrong, something is wrong."

Jinghe Dragon King was also startled by Yasha. Could it be that something big happened? Could it be that the North Sea Dragon King is looking for trouble again? Thinking of this, Ao Tong also panicked, "What happened, tell me quickly .”

"Dragon King, a fisherman came to the Jing River recently, and he has to catch more than a dozen big fish every day to be satisfied. If things go on like this, he may catch all the fish in our Jing River."

Fisherman!

It's not Ao Run, the Dragon King of the North Sea!

Hearing this, Ao Tong glared at Yasha, and he wanted to kill him. I took off my trousers, so you can do this for me. The fisherman fished, but it was only a dozen fish. The fish in his Jing River It's not just hundreds of millions, even if the fisherman is allowed to open up the fishing, how can he finish the fishing?

"Get out, and if you dare to lie about the military, be careful that I will kill you."

Ah!
This time it was Yasha's turn to be dumbfounded. Why did the Dragon King not pay attention to this at all? Seeing that he was about to be kicked out, Yasha didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly continued, "The Dragon King doesn't know, the reason why this fisherman is so big The harvest is all because of the guidance of a god-man in Chang'an City. That god-man can calculate the place where the fish and shrimps gather in our Jing River every day. It's all caught up."

God man!

Now Ao Tong is interested.

"Do you know what kind of god-man?"

Yasha only heard the general idea, and the fisherman and woodcutter didn't elaborate on what the god-man looked like, so they could only shake their heads.

Ao Tong saw Yesha's ignorance, and felt agitated in his heart, "It's not enough to succeed, it's more than failure, let's go out."

After Yasha went out, Prime Minister Gui said something fair to him, "Don't worry about the dragon king, Yasha who patrols the river is also kind. Although there are many fish and shrimps in my Jing River, they can't withstand such targeted fishing. It's better to Tan Tan If the god-man's background is just an ordinary hexagram master, he should give him a warning."

Ao Tong sounded reasonable, "It's true, how about this, the king is still in the body, so it's not easy to go out, so let Xiao Huanglong take a trip, it just so happens that it's his turn to rain this month Yes, it happened to be done together."

Prime Minister Gui had no choice but to nod his head, and Xiao Huanglong naturally agreed in every possible way when he heard the words. Since the last time Yuan Zheng handed over, not only did Ao Tong not go out by himself, even Xiao Huanglong and the others were restrained, and it rained They will be let out for a few days, so the job of raining has become a job that their nine brothers are fighting for.

"My son obeys the order, and now I will go to Chang'an City to find out the reality of the god-man."

Ao Tong didn't care too much, nodded, "Be careful, don't cause trouble."

The reason why Ao Tong has even grounded his two daughters all these years and refused to let them go out is because he was afraid that they would cause some trouble and implicate him.

"Father, don't worry, my son is awake."

The little yellow dragon who came out of the Jing River transformed into a white-clothed gentleman. He had seen the magnificent scenery of Chang'an City, but he had never seen it before, but this time he happened to go to see it.

On the bank, Xiao Huanglong saw the fisherman fishing by the river at a glance. You asked him how he was sure that the fisherman was the one Yasha said. Although there are many fishermen on the Jing River, none of them can achieve as much as the fisherman. , this rate of bait, even Xiao Huanglong was a little startled.

These are all his own people. Looking at this scene, Xiao Huanglong was also angry.

Locked on the fisherman, Xiao Huanglong followed the fisherman to the city early in the morning of the second day.

Go on the road and pull away Yunbu, and walk to Ximen Street in Chang'an City.I saw a group of people, crowded and noisy, and seeing the fisherman approaching, those people actually gave way to let the fisherman go in, and heard some eloquent sayings: "The birth of the dragon is the life of the tiger. Yinchen Sihai, although it is called a joint game, but I am afraid that the Japanese will commit the crime of Suijun."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Huanglong knew that the divine man was a divination seller, so he stepped forward, separated from the crowd, and looked inside, only to see—the four walls are full of pearls, full of beautiful embroidery.The fragrance of the precious duck is unbroken, and the water in the magnetic bottle is clear.Wang Wei's paintings are listed on both sides, and the ghost valley shape is hung high on the seat.Duanxi inkstone, gold smoke ink, contrasts with the creamy brush; Huozhulin, Guo Pu's number, I would like to correct the new classics of Taiwan politics.Familiar with Liuyao, proficient in gossip.Can know the sky and geography, and be good at understanding ghosts and spirits.A neck full of arrangements for noon, full of stars Bulie Qing.Really, the future and the past are viewed like a mirror of the moon; a few families prosper and a few fail, and the mirror is like a god.If you know the bad luck, you will know the good luck, and you will die and live.Talk about the wind and rain quickly, and write the ghosts and gods.The signboard has the name and surname of the book, Mr. Yuan Shoucheng, Mr. Shenke.

Good guy, it's really unusual to spread accounts like this. Xiao Huanglong didn't know who Yuan Shoucheng was, but his tone was serious and he didn't delay. The onlookers saw that Xiao Huanglong was majestic, unlike ordinary people, and they dared not stop him, but they were mixed in by Xiao Huanglong.

It was then that Xiao Huanglong saw Yuan Shoucheng's true face, which was really strange and beautiful, but Xiao Huanglong didn't see any traces of cultivation on Yuan Shoucheng, and immediately despised him a little in his heart.
