Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

"Since even you can't detect the abnormality, I guess this disguise is quite successful."

She was confident about the plan this time. She didn't need to take the initiative, the fish would naturally take the bait.

Jiang Nianwei found the residence of the Imperial Observatory and prepared to set up a stall in the alley that he would pass by.

In order to ensure that every step was accurate, she sent people to collect detailed information and secret intelligence about the residents in the area, and memorized all this information in her mind.

Then he pretended to be an experienced person and waited for others to appear.

At first, people were hurrying through the alley, and few stopped to pay attention to this suddenly appearing stall.

But Jiang Nianwei is not impatient, as the best is yet to come.

She asked Shuangshuang to pretend to tell fortunes, "This Taoist priest claims to be able to see through the mysteries of heaven, why don't you tell me my fortune for the next few days? If you can't, the people living in this alley will not let you off easily, an old Taoist priest who cheats and deceives people."

"Oh, young lady, you are so sure. If my prediction is biased, not only will you be able to deal with the stall as you wish, but I will also give you an extra ounce of silver as an apology."

The noise made by the two attracted many passers-by to watch, all wanting to see this good show.

Jiang Nianwei touched Shuangshuang's palm and said thoughtfully: "Girl, you seem to be entangled with an inexplicable thread of bad luck. If you hadn't been lucky enough to meet me today, I'm afraid you would have a bumpy road ahead, your home would be in turmoil, and you might even face the tragedy of your family falling into poverty and your loved ones being separated."

"Hmph, you old Taoist priest, your words are exaggerated. How can I easily believe your nonsense?" Shuangshuang snorted lightly, with a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth.

The two of them chatted back and forth, acting very seriously.

"You still have five people living together. Your father is ill and suffers from pain day and night. Your mother works hard in the mansion of a prominent noble to support the family. And your brothers and sisters are working hard outside to learn skills. If you believe what I say, quickly persuade your mother to leave the door of the powerful and wealthy, and perhaps you can avoid an unexpected disaster."

"What you said is somewhat accurate, but this does not prove your ability. Moreover, my mother is serving diligently in the noble mansion and everything is fine. How can I easily find a reason for her to quit her job?"

"If you don't listen to me, there will be bloodshed when you leave this alley. This is a sign."

"Don't be so mysterious. I'm going to leave this alley now and see what kind of bloody disaster there is."

The pedestrians around responded with a bit of joking and curiosity: "That's right, that's right, little girl, why don't you give it a try? Will there really be a bloody disaster if you walk out of this alley?"

Jiang Nianwei knew in her heart that these people were just there to watch the show, and she wanted this group of people to watch the show, the more people the better.

Tang Ming, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, lived here. He was responsible for observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating the calendar.

Recently, his duties seemed to have been quietly weakened. The high and mighty Majesty actually entrusted many important tasks to a Taoist priest of unknown origin. This move made Tang Ming secretly disgusted. Whenever he saw other Taoist priests, he could not hide his resistance and disdain.

But then, the fortune-teller girl had her purse snatched by a gangster as soon as she walked out of the alley. During the chase, she fell and her head was bleeding. Isn't this a bloody disaster?

The onlookers all sighed, "This old Taoist really has some skills."

Shuangshuang limped to Jiang Nianwei and said, "Master, I was wrong. There really is a bloody disaster. Please help me!"

Jiang Nianwei stroked his fake beard and said, "I cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world. I hope you will keep this talisman close to you. When you return home, persuade your mother to quit her labor service in that rich family. Only in this way can I protect your family and help them get through the impending disaster."

"Thank you, Taoist priest. Thank you, Taoist priest." Shuangshuang took the talisman paper.

Tang Ming couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that it was all just a coincidence.

But many of the onlookers believed Jiang Nianwei's words and came forward to start calculating fortunes.

Tang Ming stood with his arms folded, continuing to observe the scene as a bystander.

Everyone who left Jiang Nianwei's presence had a look of amazement on their faces, and they kept praising: "It's so accurate! The Taoist priest was able to accurately describe the various situations in my family."

What is even more amazing is that Jiang Nianwei is not only good at seeing into the past and the present, but also able to come up with insights and solutions. In a short while, the jar in front of her was already filled with copper coins.

Tang Ming still didn't believe it, shook his head silently and left.

The Taoist priest did this for two days in a row, setting up a stall here, and his fame grew.

There was a constant flow of people around the stall. In addition to those who came here to see the Taoist priest and seek peace of mind, there were also many people who had been guided by the Taoist priest and now came here to express their gratitude. Their faces were filled with sincere joy and relief, as if they had been reborn.

Among this group of people, the figure of a woman was particularly eye-catching. She was the girl who came to ask for divination when Tang Ming first met the Taoist priest.

The girl knelt down in front of the Taoist priest excitedly: "Master, your kindness is so great, I will never forget it!"

She described it vividly: "After returning home, I asked my mother to quit her job. She really didn't want to, so I quit on her behalf. Unexpectedly, the next day, there was a problem with the food in the noble mansion. All the servants in charge of food were questioned. It turned out that someone wanted to murder her deliberately, but my mother was not affected because she quit her job."

After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply again, her tone full of gratitude and admiration: "The Taoist priest's words came true, and they were extremely accurate. It is truly a divine foresight, and it is amazing!"

"Yesterday, when I calculated my marriage, the Taoist priest told me, 'Look to the southwest for your marriage, and you will see the answer when night falls.' I was still confused, but at night, my mother suggested that my cousin and I get married! The place in the southwest is exactly where my cousin lives, so it's too accurate."

"The Taoist priest once stroked his long beard and spoke in a mysterious tone, predicting that my father's condition would soon improve. Today, a barefoot doctor came and diagnosed my father and prescribed medicine. Today, my father can walk again."

Everyone started talking at once, all praising Taoist Master Jiang for his prowess.

"Master Jiang, everyone in the world says that you have great magical powers and are extremely effective."

Tang Ming's voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the surrounding noise. He looked directly into Daoist Jiang's eyes, "If that's the case, I wonder if you have learned the art of calling the wind and rain? It has been two months since the rain in the capital. The people are suffering terribly. They need rain to relieve the drought."

In Tang Ming's view, true efficacy should not be limited to divination of good and bad luck, exorcism of evil spirits and avoiding harm, but should be able to save people from distress and rescue the masses from water and fire.

He observed the stars and tried every possible way to alleviate the drought.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist did not refuse. "It's not difficult. It's just that the price is a bit high. I don't know if this lord can accept it."

Tang Ming was shocked that this Taoist priest actually knew his identity, but he quickly regained his composure:

"In that case, I will see if you, an old Taoist priest, have real abilities. If you can make it rain in the capital, I will give you one hundred taels of silver as a thank you! If not, you will never be allowed to appear here again!"

"My Lord, please allow me to prepare!"

Fortunately, Tang Ming finally took the bait. Judging from the situation, it will definitely rain tomorrow at the latest.

She pretended to set up a Taoist platform, muttering something mysterious while dancing with a sword.

Not far away, Baili Zhao was looking at the scene here. He stared at Jiang Nianwei's position and couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

Zheng Changkong didn't recognize that it was Jiang Nianwei for a moment. "This Miss Jiang is really capable. If the prince had given me some advice, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was her! She's so real that she looks so real."

Judging from the situation, if Baili Zhao didn’t understand some Taoism, he would probably be fooled.

It's easy to investigate people's information and create some coincidences, but it's not easy to call the wind and rain. Can she really do it?

When Jiang Nianwei burned the last piece of talisman paper, the clear sky suddenly changed into dark clouds and thunder.

"This... the Taoist priest has real skills!"

"No, this has surpassed the scope of a mortal Taoist priest. This is simply a living immortal!"

Jiang Nianwei looked at the sky. She originally just thought that it would rain before tomorrow, but she didn't expect that God would be so cooperative and actually rain.

The raindrops as big as beans fell on the onlookers, and everyone was ecstatic.

"It's raining. It's really raining. It's like a living god."

Jiang Nianwei didn't want his fake beard to get wet, so he quickly opened the umbrella, but saw Tang Ming standing in the rain, not moving for a long time.

"Master Tang, what's wrong? Is it because I am dissatisfied with you?"

Tang Ming came back to his senses immediately: "It's amazing, it's absolutely amazing."

He had not expected that after observing the stars for so long, he still had not been able to calculate the exact time of rain, but the Taoist's method actually brought the rain.

Tang Ming knelt in front of her excitedly: "Master, you are simply amazing! Just now, I was blind and spoke rudely, but now I am really blessed. Master, please come with me to get the 100 taels of silver."

Jiang Nianwei knew that her goal had been achieved, so she helped Tang Ming up.

"Forget about the silver. You can use this hundred taels to help the poor. I don't need this much silver."

Her refusal seemed more genuine. Wasn't it for money that the fake Taoist priest pretended to be a real Taoist priest?

Tang Ming's tone also became respectful. "In that case, Taoist priest, can you come back with me? I have a few things I want to ask you!"

Jiang Nianwei smiled knowingly, her trick of luring someone into a trap was successful.

It rained for three whole days in the capital, and the strange story of the Taoist praying for rain spread throughout the capital.

"Do you know? The reason why it rained in the capital was because of an unknown Taoist priest who single-handedly prayed for this timely rain that moistened all things."

"Oh? Is there really such a miraculous thing in the world?"

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes."

On the other hand, Jiang Nianwei and Tang Ming have been close friends since they met, and Tang Ming treats her with great courtesy and regards her as a guest of honor.

He was filled with sincere admiration and sighed softly, "The character of the Taoist priest is so different from those people in the world who are just filling in the gaps and deceiving the world and stealing their reputation. It is really admirable!"

Jiang Nianwei said in a low voice, "Master Tang, what you said, could it be that you have also been harmed by the magicians in the past? Although I have lived in the mountains for a long time and have not been concerned with worldly affairs, I have occasionally heard that there are scoundrels who have sneaked into Baiyun Temple. They dare to use the name of the temple to do illegal things without the true teachings. It is really a shame for us. This time I came down the mountain to clean up the dirt in this sect and restore peace to the Taoist sect. If Master Tang learns any clues about these scums in the future, I hope you will be generous with your advice. I will be very grateful and swear to punish them severely to set things right."

"Of course, the Taoist priest is so righteous, how can I just sit there and watch? If I find anything, I will report it to the Taoist priest immediately."

Tang Ming just felt that this Taoist Master Jiang was a real Taoist priest. Not only could he predict the future, he also knew how to observe the stars and even told him a lot of astrological knowledge that he had never heard of before.

In his eyes, Taoist Jiang really became half a living god.

The set of words he told himself successfully attracted the attention of His Majesty, and in recent days, His Majesty has shown a lot of favor towards him.

As he got to know Master Jiang better, he admired him more and more.

Baili Jingyao felt that the Imperial Observatory had finally been smart and had finally gotten what he wanted.

"Master Tang, I never thought that you could find out this set of rules by observing the stars at night. It is really helpful to me. Then can you calculate my fortune in the next few days?"

Tang Ming said a lot of good things, but Baili Jingyao found it very boring. However, he changed the subject and said something else:

"Your Majesty, in fact, these abilities of this humble minister are not summarized by myself, but because of a Taoist priest I met."

"Taoist priest?"

"I wonder if Your Majesty has heard the rumor about the Taoist priest in the capital praying for rain?"

Baili Jingyao instantly became interested. Such a big event would naturally not escape his intelligence network. However, this Taoist priest was so elusive that even the spies around him could not find any useful information.

Originally, Tang Ming had no intention of introducing Taoist Jiang to His Majesty, but the Taoist in the palace was really too much.

It was just that His Majesty questioned him a few more times and then secretly tripped him up. If it weren't for Taoist Jiang's help, he might have been locked up in jail now.

Compared to the Taoist Tan who pretended to be a ghost and made the palace a mess, Taoist Jiang was obviously more reliable, upright and not greedy for money.

Tang Ming said seriously: "That Taoist priest is not a human, but a living immortal."

Baili Jingyao was obviously very interested. He waved his hand and asked Tang Ming to stand closer. "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, do you know about immortality?"

"Of course I know, but since ancient times, has anyone been able to live forever?"

Everything he does now is for immortality, to replenish his yang with yin, and he needs a thousand women born on the yin hour and the yin calendar, which is why he is holding another beauty contest.

At the beginning, Taoist Tan's method was indeed effective. After replenishing his yin with yang, and then taking the elixir made by the woman, he could indeed feel his body full of energy.

But as time went on, looking at his gray hair and his son who was young and strong... he even began to doubt whether this was really effective.

But now everything is half done, and he must persevere.

Now that Tang Ming was talking about the topic of immortality, he was naturally extremely interested.

Tang Ming continued, "Master Jiang has lived for hundreds of years."

Baili Jingyao's pupils trembled, and then he shook his head, "How could such a thing happen in the world?"

"Not only that, he can also restore a person's youthful appearance. However, this method is detrimental to his cultivation, so he is unwilling to use it easily."

Baili Jingyao had begun to doubt when he heard this, "It's just a scam by a quack."

"Before I met Taoist Jiang, I thought the same thing. It's useless to just talk. Your Majesty, why don't you summon Taoist Jiang to see him? Then you will know whether what I said is true or false."
