Enrolled Celestial Master

Chi Yingyang had just left the mountain, and he hadn't seen silver for 300 years. He was stumped by a copper coin, and when he saw 30 taels of silver, the joy like a tide completely occupied Chi Yingyang's heart.

Chi Yingyang was already happily thinking about the days when he would lead his disciples to have food, bean curd, and new clothes every day. At this moment, his steps were particularly brisk, and he led the chief guard straight to the old prince's place. Go to the study.

"It's inside." Chi Yingyang got the small money, and the corners of his lips could no longer be suppressed: "Either you demolish the study, or the old prince will come and open the door in person."

The chief guard frowned and said, "It's impossible to be here, the old prince was only here to read a book this morning."

Chi Yingyang retorted: "It's because you think it's impossible, so you can't find it no matter how hard you look."

The head guard had no choice but to report back to the old prince, who hurried over, glanced at Chi Yingyang, and then went into the study alone.As soon as the old prince entered, he immediately closed the door of the study.

The old concubine followed, and she walked in a hurry, and the maids around her supported her tightly.When the old princess stood still in front of the study with a cane, her narrow eyes were full of prayers.

Chi Yingyang glanced at her and said, "Mother of King Annan, King Annan is still alive, as long as you give me his name or horoscope, I can accurately calculate where he is and bring him back early."

Hearing this, the old concubine turned her head around, glanced up and down at Chi Yingyang, pursed her lips that were so thin that her lips could not be seen, and said softly: "Young man, you look like a dog, so don't lie to me."

Originally, others would not listen, so he shouldn't actively send divinations, but at this moment, Chi Yingyang is actively promoting himself: "I didn't lie to you, King Annan is still alive, look, I caught your family's mole, and your family's I was the one who showed you the way, Xiao Shizi, and I can also see the men and women in your concubine's belly, so how could I lie to you?"

The old concubine shook her head lightly: "What the old prince said, if you weren't an accomplice to the crime, how would you know so much?"

Chi Yingyang: "..."

The old concubine said again: "But since you finally found out in your conscience that the concubine is about to give birth, we don't want to commit more crimes. If the little prince is safe and sound, then we will let you go."

Chi Yingyang: "...I am a practitioner, not an accomplice. I can tell fortune-telling. Finding people and things is very simple for me."

But these words, in the ears of the old princess, are so pale.The old concubine smiled nonchalantly: "My son has been missing for eight full months. During these eight months, countless Taoist monks came to him, performed rituals for him, summoned his soul, and found his whereabouts. There was nothing they could do. They were all older than you Chang, up to now, no one has been born, no dead body has been seen, you are so young, have you not reached the crown yet? Can you be better than them all?"

Chi Yingyang: "I'm over 300 years old!"

The old concubine chuckled, obviously not believing it.She persuaded: "You are young, good-looking, and your conscience is still there. I advise you to go back to the right path as soon as possible, and stop doing such things like collaborating with others to harm others."

Chi Yingyang: "..."

Forget it, the way is natural, forget it.

Chi Yingyang thought about forgetting it, but the old concubine was silent for a while, and looked over with expectant eyes, and there was still a light in the cloudy eyes: "I can't believe that a young guy who has never met, and This young man is also suspected of being an accomplice."

Chi Yingyang said weakly: "...I am not an accomplice, how about I show you a magic trick?"

The old concubine shook her head, and she said: "No, I've already made up my mind. I want to see my son. Even if I'm cheated, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I don't want to let it go. You say my son is still alive, can you tell me how to find him?" Man, is it really true?"

This motherly love made Chi Yingyang forgive her previous entanglement, and replied: "Of course it is true. I am good at finding people."

The old concubine asked again: "Can there be a specific location? It's not vague like east or southeast, but more specific."

Chi Yingyang replied: "Yes."

The old concubine pursed her lips, and finally reported the name and horoscope of her missing son.To be cautious, Chi Yingyang took out the Taiyi Jiugong Flying Star Compass that his master had passed to him, looked at it for a while, and then asked the old concubine for a map and a pen.

The map was delivered soon, and Chi Yingyang drew a circle in a small county in the south of Ningguo. When the old princess saw it, she said, "Isn't this the place where the exiled prisoners plowed the fields?"

Chi Yingyang said: "His fate is destined to be fatal. He should look very similar to a certain exiled prisoner and was replaced halfway. You can ask someone to take the doctor there. His physical condition is probably not very good. .”

It should have been poisoned and dumb, and his appearance was also ruined.

It only takes one month to go back and forth from the Annan Palace to the place of exile.The replacement person was so vicious that it was equivalent to putting the dumb and ugly King Annan to suffer under the eyes of the palace. The palace couldn't find anyone, so they could only invite King Annan's youngest son to be a prince.

What's more ruthless is that Xiaoshizi will be missing, killing Princess Annan and the children in her stomach.

At this time, the old prince finally came out of the study with Xiao Shizi.

As soon as the old princess saw him, she threw herself on him and wiped off the dust on his face with a handkerchief.Seeing this, the old prince hummed and said angrily, "Say it yourself, why did you hide in the study for so long?"

Xiao Shizi covered his face with his sleeves, and shamelessly said: "Sister Mei said that she wants to play hide and seek with me, because I took my father's place, so my father can't come back. Sister Mei can do magic tricks , if I disappear, my dad can come back today, so I hid in the secret room of the study. But—woo—I was found, my dad can’t come back—”

Upon hearing this, the old concubine held her grandson in her arms, and kept stroking the back of Xiaoshizi's head with her hands.The old prince couldn't make sense for a while, so he could only stare blankly.

Chi Yingyang squatted down in front of Xiao Shizi, and said with a smile: "Your father can come back, I just made a magic spell."

Xiao Shizi stopped sobbing, looked over with wet eyes, and asked sincerely: "Brother, you look so good-looking, are you a fairy?"

Chi Yingyang thought for a while and replied seriously: "It's worse than a god, so it will take more than a month for him to come back."

The old prince: "!!!"

The old prince was trying to get Chi Yingyang arrested for lying to the child, but the old princess was ahead of him and stopped him with her eyes.

The old prince: "???"

The old concubine patted Xiao Shizi on the shoulder, and asked Chi Yingyang: "Thank you, little god, for doing this. If I can find out the whereabouts of Xiao Shizi's father, I will definitely reward you a lot. I wonder how much money the god will charge?"

After hearing this, Chi Yingyang spread out his right hand happily, stretched out five fingers, and said, "Five taels of silver."

Xiao Shizi would have been killed in chaos when the princess was killed.In this way, the three lives of the little prince, the princess and the little girl in the belly of the princess are paid 30 taels of silver.

King Annan is just missing, and if he is still alive, he will receive five taels of silver.

Chi Yingyang felt that the price he gave was quite fair, but the old princess had a look of disbelief.

Is it really only this little?

After spending so much time in the palace, it only costs five taels of silver?

Could it be that his calculations are simply unreliable?

Seeing that the old concubine looked astonished, Chi Yingyang probed: "The reward should be reasonable, right?"

The old concubine came back to her senses, nodded and said, "It's reasonable."

The old prince: "..."

Come on, his princess was cheated again, and she was still cheated for only five taels of silver.

Chi Yingyang said again: "By the way, let me give the old prince another gift. I want three apricot cakes to take away as a reward."

The old prince: "No, I won't listen, if you want apricot cake, you have to leave."

The old prince wanted to sew Chi Yingyang's mouth shut.

He figured it out, Chi Yingyang will definitely mention the thing about his kidney deficiency that was mentioned in Zangshuge!

Yes, the old prince guessed it right, Chi Yingyang is a good Taoist priest who gives divinations when he is paid, he said: "I will tell you when I get paid, old prince, you are strong in appearance, but you often use the medicine of tigers and wolves, and you have excessive intercourse. The concubine has been arrested, and no one continues to use medicines for the old prince. There must be something wrong with the old prince's health. Within half a month, the old prince will definitely suffer from water disaster, and the harm will be serious. It is best to consult an andrology doctor in advance."

"..." The old prince really doesn't want to hear it, let alone Chi Yingyang say it in public!

Chi Yingyang didn't care, the old prince was rude to him, so of course he said whatever he wanted!

In the evening, Chi Yingyang proudly held 35 taels of silver and left the palace with a box of fragrant and soft apricot flower cake inside.

Behind him came the high-pitched scolding voice of the old princess, and the screams of the old prince.

Hearing the screams, Chi Yingyang was in a good mood, hummed the verse, went to the government to receive half a reward, and happily returned to the sloppy thatched hut.

As soon as he saw the thatched cottage, Chi Yingyang's smile disappeared.

When the two well-behaved and cute little apprentices heard that the master was coming back, they all came out to greet him.The first disciple Chi Jinyan saw that the master's expression was not good, and asked, "Master, it doesn't matter if you are kicked out. We have asked the nearby villagers. We can go to their fields to dig peanuts together."

Chi Yingyang said sadly: "No, it doesn't matter what you eat, you can buy peanuts, Master has made money."

The little disciple Chi Shenxing couldn't see. Although he couldn't see Chi Yingyang's distressed expression, he could still guess something from Chi Yingyang's distressed tone: "Has something tragic happened to Master? It's okay. , anything can survive."

Chi Yingyang covered his face and said: "Yes, I can survive everything, at least the master has earned money for food and clothing."

However, he forgot the money to buy the house!

Why did he build a thatched cottage in the suburbs with his apprentices? It was because not only could he not afford to buy a house, he couldn't even afford to rent it!

Before practicing meditation, he lived in a Taoist temple and never considered buying a house.

When he came back and saw the thatched cottage, Chi Yingyang finally remembered that the small houses here cost at least 1300 taels per room.

In terms of rent, 30 taels of silver, only for two months.

But there are very few such short-term rentals, and generally there are more long-term rentals.

Why are houses so expensive?

Because this is the south where there are less wars, the land is rich. According to legend, the Northern Kingdom invaded ten years ago, and the emperor almost moved the capital here. It can be seen that this place is prosperous and the housing prices are more expensive.

Chi Yingyang couldn't afford it anymore, so he took his two apprentices to the Taoist temple to live under the fence?Chi Yingyang didn't want to either, of course it's better to be in charge.

But the money of the nobles is not easy to earn, and one life is only paid for ten taels, and at least 130 nobles are saved, which is enough to buy a house.

Just keep trying to make money!

Let's hope prices don't go up too much.

Chi Yingyang didn't tell his apprentices the reason why he couldn't afford to live in a tile house, but he just put the food box from Prince Annan's Mansion on the table, put on a smiling face, and said with a smile: "Come and eat, this is what Master earned from the noble man's house." Sweet and delicious pastries, one serving per person.”

"Master, you have worked hard." The two disciples, Jin Yan and Shen Xing, were very moved. They still remembered Master being kicked out of the palace in the morning.

Master is not easy.

The three masters and apprentices enjoyed the hard-won pastries with joy, and at night, they finally ate meat again.

Chi Yingyang looked at the expressions of the two young apprentices happily eating pastries and meat, and felt very satisfied in the heart of an old father.

Eat and drink enough, be cautious in words and deeds, and earnestly recite a treasured training mental method, cooperate with the mental method, bless the magic mantra, and practice stepping diligently. The two young Taoist priests are determined to learn Taoism well and solve problems for the master in the future .

Day two.

With money, Chi Yingyang happily took his two little apprentices to eat bean curd for breakfast.

Then, today's tofu flower is not the tofu flower that cost five cents a bowl 300 years ago.

Ten cents a bowl!The price has fully doubled!

Chi Yingyang secretly thought that the fortune-telling fee would increase in the future, and he heard the people who ate tofu flowers together talk about the news that the new imperial list was posted today:

"Have you heard? The saint is going to recruit a wife for the third prince! Regardless of his status, he wants to find the most handsome man in the whole country to be the third prince's husband."

"Wait a minute, I don't understand, to be the third prince's husband? Is the third prince a twin?"

"Third Prince, you don't know, General Zhen Guo, you always know! It was ten years ago when the Northern Kingdom was invaded, the saint was forced to move his capital to the south, and countless people fled. He bravely joined the army as two sons, counterattacked the desert, and beat up the northern country's reckless man. Great General Ling who must be fucked!"

"Oh, General Ling is so famous, I even forgot that he is Shuang'er. General Ling has fought for the country for so many years, and the sage recruited relatives for him. It's really a good thing!"

"I don't know who General Ling wants to recruit? It's strange. It stands to reason that there should be many young generals with high martial arts skills in the army, and there are more young talents in the capital. I don't care about all of them? They want to post an imperial list to recruit relatives across the country." ?”

"You didn't hear everything, General Ling is the prince, and he wants someone to marry him!"

"Ah, getting married, no wonder no one in the capital is willing to recruit relatives from all over the country."

……

Chi Yingyang fell behind, he didn't quite understand, and curiously asked the old man next door who was eating tofu flower together: "What is zuzu?"

The uncle replied: "Being married means sending yourself to the door as a husband-in-law, and then being fed and housed by the husband and wife of the twins, and there is still money to take."

Chi Yingyang was surprised: "There is such a good thing?"

There is a powerful husband, with food and shelter, and money to take!

Chi Yingyang asked: "Where is the imperial list, how much money can I get?"

The uncle replied: "Then what money do you need? They must use gold bowls and chopsticks to eat tofu flowers. The bed, bedding, and chamber pot are all made of gold. How can I only give you money?"

Is it so precious!

Chi Yingyang asked again: "The general who recruited relatives, does he have a house at home?"

The uncle smiled: "There must be! General Zhen Guo, who has a title, a fief, and a palace, how could he not have a house. I often hear people say that the houses of the big families in the capital are resplendent and resplendent, do you know that? It's jasper, that is to say, the houses of big families in the capital are made of gold and jasper, much richer than our wooden houses!"

Chi Yingyang was dumbfounded.

His teacher's Taoist temple is only made of wood.

Annan Wangfu is already the most wealthy family in the south, and the house is only made of wood.

The capital is so rich!

After quickly eating the remaining tofu flower, Chi Yingyang took the two apprentices to the place where the imperial list was posted.
