Chapter 151 The Immortal Lives in Yijingzhai, Comes Back to the Immortal Record

In Yijingzhai, Ji Pingan raised his hand and lined up three copper coins on the table in front of him, signaling to open his mind.

Although the essence of his divination is to use astrology, superficial skills also need to be done well. There are many methods of divination in Daoism, such as in temples, the most common method is to shake the stick to solve the lottery.

There is also the method of "figure reading" commonly used by the "magic fortune tellers" on the street... Ji Ping'an chose one of the common methods: Liuyao.

The little lady murmured, and nervously put her legs together, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said:
"How...how?"

You're just a baby... Lack of divination experience before?
Well... At this age, divination in the past was mostly done by parents and elders at home... Ji Pingan was not surprised, and said with a smile:

"Hold these three copper coins in the palm of your hand, clasp your hands tightly, think about what you want to measure, clasp your palms together and shake it, then throw it on the plate, go back and forth six times, and it will be counted."

After a pause, he pointed to the pen and paper next to him:
"And your husband's birthday, you should also write it down."

The front is the cover, the back is the key. The time of birth of each person corresponds to the position in the star chart, the so-called "fate star".

The widely spread divination method on the earth also involves looking at the astrolabe, looking at the sun, moon, ascending constellation and so on.

Of course, those are fake, but the spells of the "star official" path are real.

Ji Ping'an just borrowed part of the term from the astrology of the earth.

"it is good!"

The little lady named 'Honggu' listened blankly, first went to get the copper coin, then put it down again, picked up the brush a little clumsily, and wrote the horoscope.

These days, most of the people are not literate, or in other words, not many are literate.

But Yuhang, as the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River, has a prosperous literary style and a better literacy rate, especially the birth date is not complicated, after Honggu finished writing.

He picked up the three yellow copper coins in his palms with both hands, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently recited the safety and location of his husband.

Wrist shaking: "Wow, wow..."

As if worried about being insincere, she shook it for a while before throwing it into the divination plate in front of her.

One front, two backs.

Ji Pingan wrote it into symbols in "terms" and copied it on paper.

Hong Gu shook it a second time, this time with three backs.

the third time……

the fourth time……

Until the end of the six times, Ji Pingan spread the paper full of symbols and the birth date note in front of him, and did not go through the divination scripture on the right.

Close your eyes and do calculations.

In fact, "astrology" is secretly operated, relying on "birthday horoscopes" and the woman in front of her who is closely related to the missing bodyguard as the "intermediary" to perform astrology.

At first it was blurry, and then gradually became clear, Ji Pingan "seeed" pictures from the ubiquitous starlight.

On a rugged official road, a team of escorts was ambushed, and arrows shot out suddenly from the forest.

In the sound of "whoosh", blood sprayed.

A tall, thin young man with a birthmark on his neck used the carriage to hide.

When a wave of arrows rained down, dozens of warriors with black scarves covering their faces and holding steel knives jumped out of the forest, brazenly coming to fight with the bodyguards.

Among this group of people, there was more than one martial artist who was about to defeat a group of mortal bodyguards, screaming and wailing endlessly.

The young man witnessed with his own eyes that the "guard head" was cut in half with a knife.

In the twilight, the blood was like a fountain, and the souls of the dead suddenly sprang up, turning their heads and fleeing while taking advantage of the chaos.

Fortunately, those people seemed to only care about escorting the goods, and they were not willing to chase and kill them. The young bodyguard was full of dangers, and finally managed to sneak into the forest, escape from the battlefield, spread his legs, and run desperately.

The screen turns.

In the midst of the morning fog, Ji Pingan "saw" the silhouette of the east gate of Yuhang in front of him. He was extremely exhausted, and the bodyguard numbly dragged his two legs towards the gate, but finally lost his strength and passed out in the grass beside the road .

At this time, the picture was about to be broken, but Ji Pingan tried to divination the origin of the gang of thieves by using the bodyguard as a medium.

As the picture distorted, he first vaguely saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the room.

But before he saw it clearly, an indescribable force brutally cut off the information transmitted by the starlight.

"Peng!"

The picture is like a falling mirror, shattered and broken.

Ji Pingan only felt a blur in front of his eyes, opened his eyes, and saw the shop surface of Yijingzhai all around, with copper coins and hexagram books on the table, the edges of the two pieces of paper shook slightly when the breeze blew in.

The little lady was looking at him expectantly and apprehensively:
"Yes...is there any result? Is my husband-in-law good or bad?"

Huh... Ji Pingan breathed out silently and frowned slightly.

Sure enough, it makes sense to choose this place to open a shop. Behind the person who robbed the darts, there are definitely not low-level practitioners involved.

Otherwise, it will not be forcibly interrupted.

Seeing Aunt Hong's worried face and tightly pursed lips, obviously she might have made a mistake, Ji Pingan restrained his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Your husband has a birthmark on his neck?"

He pointed to a spot on his neck.

Hong Gu's eyes suddenly widened, she looked at him in astonishment, and after a long while, she stammered:

"Yes, he was born in his mother's womb...you know him?!"

As soon as this sentence came out of her mouth, she realized that it was wrong.

Not to mention, I didn't mention the name of my husband, not even the name of the bodyguard.

Just before she came here, she had asked, the owner of the hexagram shop even came from Zhongzhou a few days ago, and she didn't have time to learn these details by asking the neighbors.

But... If it wasn't so, could it be that it was really calculated?Can you figure out your appearance just by the horoscope?
Ji Pingan smiled and said:

"He is still alive, but unfortunately suffered a bloody disaster. He tried his best to escape, but passed out outside the East City Gate due to exhaustion. You can find a few more people and search along the north side of the East City Gate. Inside, among the bushes, you can find someone."

Can this count? !

Honggu stood up abruptly, and the gentle little lady's face was full of excitement and disbelief:

"Sir, what did you say...really? My husband is just outside the city?"

Although she rarely asks for divination, she also knows that there has never been a fortune teller who can answer with such certainty.

Ji Pingan said lightly: "If you go late, it's hard to say whether you can still live."

Hong Gu shuddered, not daring to delay, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

Hastily grabbed ten Wen coins, pressed them on the table, thanked him all the time, then lifted the hem of his skirt and ran towards Laoliu Street.

Ji Pingan didn't stop him either. Through divination, he had obtained some clues and could investigate slowly.

……

……

On the other side, Hong Gu ran out of the street, hurriedly turned the corner, got into the alley, made a big circle and arrived at her own yard.

Pushing open the door suddenly, I saw an old couple weaving baskets in the courtyard, with sad faces.

"Father, mother... I know the whereabouts of Mr. Hong." Hong Gu said.

The old couple threw down the bamboo basket in surprise, and wanted to ask, but Hong Gu only said that she was outside the city, and she had someone to advise her.

The old man was doubtful, but he didn't dare to delay the dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he hurriedly got on the donkey cart, and a group of people drove out of the city.

Hong Gu was worried about gains and losses along the way, she also didn't fully believe it, she just thought that the divination master opened a shop and couldn't escape, if it was fake, at worst, she would come to the door to find out.

In a state of apprehension, the donkey cart left the east gate, and the family searched all the way along the north side. Just two miles away, Honggu suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the grass, walked over anxiously, and exclaimed:
"Father! Mother! People are here!"

The old couple hurried over, paled in shock, took out the water bag and splashed it on the unconscious bodyguard's face, and the latter woke up slowly.

Looking blankly at the faces of his family members, he was puzzled at first, suspecting that he was in a dream, until the truth was confirmed, and two lines of tears flowed down:
"I am back."

Honggu's eyes turned red, she covered her mouth and cried.

But he was afraid that his parents would be present, so he couldn't throw himself into the arms of the old man, crying and laughing. Immediately, the young man sitting in the hall with a smile suddenly appeared in his heart.

What the fortune teller said was true...he actually calculated everything...

No, that's not a "fortune teller", it's clearly a "fairy", a living god who walks in the mundane world.

she thought with awe and gratitude.

This kind of emotion was not finally calmed down until the family drove the donkey cart back to the courtyard, and the young bodyguard drank several bowls of porridge and filled his belly with several eggs.

The old couple started asking what happened.

The young bodyguard sat on the bench at home, wiped the corners of his mouth, held his wife's hand, and still had shock in his eyes:

"We just went to the next county to pick up the escort and came back. They said it was a coffin that was escorted. The merchants who went to Yuezhou to do business died in a foreign land, and the fallen leaves returned to their roots. It seems that the deceased had enemies in the rivers and lakes before, and he was worried that he would die. An Ning... was fine along the way, but when it was getting dark, suddenly a group of strong men came out with very high martial arts..."

He narrated the general experience, which was no different from what Ji Pingan saw in astrology.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a break, and he didn't dare to take the official path, for fear of being hunted down, he ran all the way back to Yuhang along the mountain road.

Before relying on a puff of Qi to support him, when he saw the city gate, the puff of Qi dissipated, and he passed out from exhaustion.

After hearing this, the family was frightened and sweated profusely.

Honggu bit her lip, looked at Xianggong distressedly, and said:
"Just come back, just come back."

The young bodyguard looked sad and said:
"I have to report to the government later. By the way, how do you know I'm outside the city?"

The old couple looked at their daughter-in-law.

Faced with the family's inquiries, Hong Gu wiped away her tears, and then realized how worried she was, and how she accidentally learned from the neighbors that a new hexagram hall was opened in Laoliu Street, so she thought about asking for divination.

He also told the story of how he got the revelation, and the family who only heard it were astonished.

"Old god, this is the old god who saved our Dalang." The old woman said excitedly.

The young bodyguard also showed reverence: "When did such a capable Taoist master come to the city? What's the name of that shop?"

"Yi Jing Zhai." Hong Gu thought about it for a while, and added:

"That tall man is not old. He looks younger than me, so he's probably weak."

so young?The family was very surprised.

Only the old man smacked his lips and reprimanded mysteriously:

"I don't dare to say that, maybe it's the old god who is rejuvenated."

Yeah?Hong Gu thought about it, but she still felt that it didn't look like it.

……

……

Laoliu Street, inside Yijingzhai.

After the little lady left, Ji Pingan continued to sit in the hall, but no second customer entered the shop for a long time.

He was not in a hurry. On the first day the shop opened, he got a clue involving a high-level practitioner, which made him quite happy.

"You can wait for that family member to come again and ask carefully to get more information. The key is to find out what the escorts are escorting. It can attract practitioners. It is definitely not an ordinary property."

"Alternatively, you can also start with the identity of the employer, but if it really hides a secret, this identity is probably fake."

Ji Pingan secretly thought that astrology can be called cheating in solving cases, but it also has great limitations.

Otherwise, if the star officials really knew everything, they would have unified Kyushu long ago.

In the evening, when Ji Ping'an's shop closed, Yu Yu also returned from outside.

Although the Holy Maiden walked with him, as a representative of the "Taoism", she had a backbone, and she was determined to carry out investigations with her own abilities.

So, I ran out early in the morning, I didn't know where to go for a stroll in the city, and I came back with my shoulders in my arms. As soon as I entered the shop, my snow-white jaw raised, looking like a victorious general:
"Tsk, what's Ji Guaji's harvest today? Heh, Tianjiao, the dignified guardian of heaven, hides in an alley and shows fortune-telling to ordinary people. It's really..."

Ji Pingan looked at the peahen, smiled, and teased:
"It seems that Your Excellency the Holy Maiden has gained something?"

"That's natural!" Yu Yu snorted, sat down opposite him with his waist twisted, then reached into his arms, took out a thin, low-quality book, and slapped it on the table:
"Look what I found?"

Ji Pingan glanced at the gray-blue cover of the book, but there was no name on it.

He frowned slightly: "What is this?"

"Cultivation of Immortals." Yu Yu lowered his delicate jaw, and his delicate and smooth face like porcelain was brimming with excitement:

"According to my investigation, from about half a month ago, this exercise book suddenly spread inexplicably in the city. It was not sold through bookstores, but privately. There were different channels. Some are even weirder, and the book will appear in the streets and alleys inexplicably.

"Some people can pick it up when they walk in the alley, some people go out in the morning and find the book stuck on the door bolt, and some people go home and find this thing at the door of their house, and so on."

Ji Pingan didn't pay much attention at first, but gradually, he heard something interesting:

"Oh? It's really weird, but this kind of liar's books are very common."

In a world where there are practitioners, there will naturally be people who seek immortality and Taoism among the people, and there will also be various nonsensical exercises and secret books.

Most of them are deceptive means, not new.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Yu became more proud, showing off:
"If it's just a trick, I would care? The problem is that this is a real skill, and it can indeed make a mortal with a little bit of a bone quickly step into the state of nourishing Qi!"

Ji Ping'an narrowed his eyes and finally became serious.

He heard the saint's overtones.

If it is just to practice the exercises, although they are indeed precious, it is not impossible for them to be spread among the people.

But it is unimaginable for a mortal with a little bit of roots to quickly step into the Qi Cultivation Realm.

You must know that the recruiting of disciples like the five sects is also based on talent. If the roots are poor, if you want to nourish your energy, you need to sit in the well to help you "open up".

It can be seen how difficult it is.

Only relying on a technique of unknown origin can make ordinary people nourish their energy...

As the saying goes, any gift is secretly priced, if it can be done, it will definitely have great disadvantages, and it will never be chosen by a decent sect.

For example... some "magic skills".

Ji Pingan raised his hand to pick up the book, flipped it lightly, and found that the text in it was hand-copied, not printed.

There are not many words in the exercises, supplemented by simple pictures, which are easy to understand. He read it quickly, and couldn't help but change slightly:

"Entering the Immortal Record?"

Yu Yu gave an "en" and sighed:

"I didn't expect this thing to still be circulated in the rivers and lakes."

Most of today's young monks don't know about this exercise, but it is recorded in various sects, and it is a magical exercise.

The threshold of practice is extremely low, and the only "qualification" requirement is a dark and violent heart.

The worse the person, the easier it is to get started. The essence is to absorb the "evil thoughts" in people's seven emotions and six desires, and to absorb spiritual essence from emotions.

The more ethical, upright and kind you are, the harder it is to practice.On the contrary, once you let go and sink completely, your cultivation will advance very quickly.

But the flaws are equally huge. First of all, the mentality of people who practice this skill will gradually turn violent, and they need to be constantly suppressed to stay awake. Once they cannot be suppressed one day, they will lose themselves completely.

Secondly, "Dengxianlu" is divided into two parts.

The next chapter only records the practice method, which can connect one's soul to the "sea of ​​emotions" through a unique way, and absorb spiritual essence for practice.

The first part records the way to open up the sea of ​​emotions and devour other practitioners.

To put it simply, those who have mastered the complete "Deng Xian Lu" can only spread the next part to attract people to practice and at the same time open up a "sea of ​​emotions".

Those who obtain the second chapter, once they practice, their souls will enter the "sea" and grow stronger. At the same time, it is equivalent to refining themselves into a elixir of evil thoughts.

Equivalent to the relationship between online and offline.

Once the "offline" grows to a sufficient extent, it will be swallowed by the "upline" through the sea of ​​emotions and become the nourishment for the latter to advance.

Back then, after the Great Zhou Dingding, the Divine Emperor, the National Teacher and the previous generation's head teacher joined forces to clean up the rivers and lakes, destroying the magical skills including "Deng Xian Lu".

Unexpectedly, it has reappeared in the world now.

And the book in Ji Ping'an's hand is the "Part Two".

"Obviously, someone has obtained the complete "Record of Climbing the Immortals", so they secretly spread the fragments in the city, hoping to improve their cultivation." Yu Yu became serious, with a righteous look on his face.

Regardless of whether this matter is related to the "Meteor Shower" or not, as a Taoist saint, she cannot stand idly by on such matters.

"We must find out who is behind it, otherwise it will be very troublesome if this thing spreads further." Yu Yu's eyes brightened, and he decisively pulled Ji Pingan into the Justice League.

No wonder you are willing to share the information with me... You feel that this matter has nothing to do with the "Secret of the Starry Sky", and you can't find anyone, so you drag me into the water... After all, star officials are better at deduction and divination than Taoist priests.

Ji Pingan complained in his heart.

Instead of answering immediately, he asked instead:
"Don't you think something is wrong?"

Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, with a cute expression on his face: "What's wrong?"

Ji Pingan resignedly tapped "Deng Xian Lu" with his fingers:
"There are some problems with this thing."
