Chapter 6 Mirage

When Cheng En woke up, he was not in the grass where he was lying, but in a room.The yellow talisman on his forehead also disappeared.The first reaction was that he was found by the enemy and died first.

Tightening the baby talisman, retracting the unsuitable limbs in unison, Cheng En climbed out of the window.

Just happened to meet Immortal Yanshu who was holding a medicine bowl.

Cheng En silently took back the talisman that almost stuck to his face.After tidying up his mood, he changed his face and said joyfully, "Immortal Yanshu, we meet again! What a fate, are you here for an outing in the mortal world? Let me recommend a place for you..."

Yan Shu: "..."

They are now in the house transformed by Yanshu.At the beginning, the geese left without saying goodbye, and did not return to the sky immediately.Seeing that the little Taoist priest seemed to be a little restrained in front of him, he had no choice but to hide his body and follow.

Yes, follow along.

Yuheng didn't know what to do with this little Taoist priest, he was not interested in what this little Taoist priest did, he just watched from a distance.

Even if you keep following, there are times when you lose track.For the first time, Immortal Yuheng watched the little Taoist priest busy, felt bored, and walked away for a while.When I came back to my senses, the small courtyard of the little Taoist priest in Changzhou was already empty, and the Taoist priest’s stall had been placed elsewhere.The second time, the little Taoist priest disappeared out of thin air with another person in the inn room under his nose.

The little Taoist priest has always taken a part of Yuheng's soul with him, and it doesn't take much effort to get it back, but this feeling of losing someone makes Yuheng very bad.

Somehow, Cheng En fell into the eyes of the old man, and felt very happy.Carefree is carefree, but the gods don't show up often, and this fairy has shown his face in front of him for the second time, and has never told him what his intention is.

After thinking about it, Cheng En suddenly realized: Didn't God send this fairy to help him solve his current predicament?This fairy wanted to help him, but he didn't say it clearly, it must be because the secret of heaven must not be leaked!

In this way, everything makes sense.Why did Xianjun suddenly appear when he intervened in the mirage, and why he rescued him in time when he fainted in the grass.

Cheng En clasped his fists in both hands, and spoke earnestly: "Your Majesty will help you, and Cheng En will never forget it." The road to immortality is long, and getting the Tao depends on chance, so he dare not say big words like repaying him in the future.

Yuheng didn't listen to these, he picked up the medicinal soup in his hand, and said without hesitation, "Drink it."

From this moment on, Cheng En's orders to this fairy king can be said to be the same.After drinking the fairy medicine, his waist is not sore and his legs are not numb. Cheng En can jump up and down the mountain to fight tigers.He had never looked so radiant in his life.Taoist Cheng was happy to turn around in circles, only to hear Immortal Yanshu suddenly say: "Little Taoist, have I seen you?"

Cheng En froze because he was frightened.

He thought about it seriously, and shook his head solemnly, "I've never met Your Majesty before." It would be really great if I could get a little relationship with you old man!

After hearing this, Yan Shu nodded and stopped asking.

Immortal Yanshu accepted the fairy art of enchantment, and Cheng En wanted to turn around and leave, but Immortal Yanshu followed, showing no sign of leaving.It indirectly confirmed what Cheng En thought that this great god was here to help him.

Cheng Enle snorted and pulled Immortal Yanshu away from Longhu Mountain.

Anyway, if you can hide from the monk, you can't hide from the temple. Cheng En decided to go back to Rong County first. After all, nothing is better than letting people out.He dragged Immortal Yanshu to Rong County.Immortal Yanshu transformed into a handsome young man with all his immortal energy removed.

Thanks to Mr. Yanshu, the antidote prescriptions for the two control drugs used by Mirage came out with a whoosh, along with properly ground and kneaded pills of suitable size, a whole box.

Now that he had something to do, Cheng En decided to take over Mirage's nest first.

That night, due to some turmoil, the small mirage in Rong County closed early.Cheng Daochang immediately took over the entire building.Young master Yanshu knocked down a group of patrolling soldiers with a knife in his hand, Cheng En cooperated and fed them talisman water.

During the time spent for a cup of tea, the old bustard's accountant, the floor scrubber, and the big man resting in the yard were all under the control of Cheng Daoshi, and they were dazed and absent-minded.Looking at such a large group of people in the mirage in Rongxian County, there were nearly 50 patrolling guards alone. If Immortal Yanshu was not by his side, Cheng En would not dare to rush in rashly.

As for the young masters and female relatives who were arrested, after being given the antidote, they were very relieved to recall all the past.Those who should go home go home, and those who have other plans find their own way out.

And some people who have long been accustomed to the mirage survival mode, although recalling the past, suddenly lost the iron rice bowls on which they lived, and did not welcome Cheng En's arrival very much.Taoist Cheng packed this group of men and women to another remote Taoist temple in Chengzhou, and asked someone to introduce them to other slightly more formal brothels in the future.For example, Zuihualou is half a street away.

The magic stick learned a lesson from Gu Zhengqing, he acted decisively and sent everyone away without any explanation.The very young boy who had met Cheng En once wiped his tears, wrapped around Cheng Daozhang's neck, and watched Cheng En light a piece of talisman paper.Holding a letter in his hand, the little boy slowly disappeared into the unnamed conjoined building in Rong County.

What followed was a generally smooth interrogation session.

From the mouth of the old bustard Hong's mother, I learned that these places are under the management of a man named Autumn Shan Gongzi, and I have only seen the steward under Qiu Shan Gongzi, Ji Erye.

"Ji Erye is a very ordinary-looking man. When we hand in the money every six months, he will come on time in a small warm sedan chair, and the time is deliberately avoided on the busy days of the money business. Ji Erye After counting, they left quickly and seldom talked to us. The people who came to deliver these goods were different every time. They sometimes walked by water or took a carriage, but they all carried a letter. The letter used a graphic code It is written in one sentence, to the effect of 'one of your own, you can trust.'”

To put it bluntly, these people are equivalent to hired workers. Those who take money to do things for others have never even seen the face of a serious boss.There are more or less old cases on them, and the people above have solved them, and they want to find a place to live in peace.

Those young men and women who were captured also mentioned some Taoists in black robes.After the goods were caught, they were first gathered in one place and distributed to various places by those Taoists.The goods brought over have already been processed, and what the bustard needs to do is to firmly remember the code word, and identify it every time he accepts the goods, in case someone sneaks in in troubled waters.Those who are in charge of the mirage just need to take good care of these young masters and girls, feed them some antidote regularly every day, teach them some skills to please the guests, and take care of them without making any mistakes.

Others, I can't ask.

Cheng En nodded, first there was another black-robed brother and a blue-clothed masked man, and then there were two autumn fans and Ji Erye. The matter seemed bigger than he had imagined at first.But fortunately, with the help of Immortal Yanshu, the mirage in Rong County is considered dead in name only.However, how to deal with the Rongxian mirage after the operation is still a big problem.Neither can these people suddenly lose contact with the higher authorities, nor can the management of Mirage discover their existence.

Cheng En paced back and forth anxiously, not knowing what to do with the remaining large group of people, but also worried that the higher-ups would pick up on the news and he would not be able to find them.

Yan Shu sat on a chair, watching him patiently tossing back and forth.

Cheng En glanced at Yan Shu, and his own shortcut sat indifferently in front of the hall.As long as I go forward and explain to Xianjun, maybe the matter can be resolved, but after thinking about it, it is better not to let Xianjun interfere too much. It is not that there are many novels and dramas that say that the Xian family interferes with the affairs of the world. Will there always be more or less punishment?

It can be avoided or avoided, Cheng En thought.

Yan Shu watched Daoist Cheng wink at him, and frowned slightly in puzzlement.

With a flash of inspiration, Cheng En clapped his hands, and countless yellow talismans flew up, casting a formation called nothingness near the mirage.

This formation was taught by Cheng Tian, ​​it exists in nothingness, loses in nothingness, like parading in a mirage, hence the name.The void is divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part is the virtual realm. The void realm is activated by its own aura. It is an illusion woven according to the individual will of the participant. It can reflect the past scene of a certain place and present it according to certain rules.Later, Cheng Tianci revised the lower part of nothingness into a universal array that can be activated by using yellow symbols to reduce the difficulty of teaching, and only then did Cheng En learn it easily.

Formed, the mirage is a illusory illusion with mixed truth and falsehood.The yellow talismans outside the formation control the minds of those entering the formation, and those who have to be enlightened cannot detect it.The yellow talismans in the formation replaced those who were sent away, forming phantoms to complete the illusion.Although there is still a risk of breaking the formation, Cheng En has no better choice right now.

Following the gourd painting, Cheng En hurried to Changzhou and solved the mirage in Changzhou city three times and five times.The news I got in Changzhou was much the same, it was still under the care of the second master Ji, who came here once a month ago.

Today, there are two paths before Cheng En.The first is to follow the Second Master Ji and Mr. Autumn Fan behind him; the second is to follow the man in green and black that he saw in Longhu Mountain that day.He wasn't so unreliable yet, before he fainted, he took Huang Daxian's tracking charm on the black clothes and the green clothes.

To track Mr. Qiushan, you only need to stand still and wait in Rongxian or Changzhou. It will take another four or five months in terms of time.To track Longhushan and Longhushan, they will go to Beijing. There are many capable Taoists among the mirages, and they have to bear the risk of being discovered.

After thinking about it, he still wanted to brave the wind and waves to catch the big turtle.

After leaving Changzhou, Cheng En was stunned, and returned to his original residence in Rong County.Yan Shu still followed neither far nor near.

The owner of the store knew that he sometimes disguised himself and knew Cheng En's true face, so he was not surprised when he saw it, and said enthusiastically: "Master Dao, my mother-in-law just made some lotus cakes, take them for you to taste?" But he never saw him. Young Master Yanshu followed behind Cheng En.

Cheng En frowned slightly, but didn't find anything unusual, and asked the innkeeper, "Brother, I have a cousin from afar who was placed in the flower building opposite by my family, can you help take care of her?"

Of course, posting is just a rhetoric. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that this cousin was sold by the family.The owner of the inn is an honest person. Hearing Cheng En's words, he said worriedly: "Master Daoist, you still have a cousin who was bought into Hualou?"

Cheng En nodded ashamedly, and said: "Family ugliness should not be publicized, but my cousin usually has a very strong temper, and I am worried that he will make some trouble." Cheng En raised his hand, showing a circle of faint teeth Yin, "Look, this is what he bit. If the eldest brother is free, can you help me take a look."

The innkeeper thought for a while and asked rather tangled: "You don't need to go in, do you? You know my wife's temper..."

Cheng En waved his hands repeatedly, handed a few yellow talismans to the inn, and said, "You don't need to bother brother to go into the flower building, but if there is a commotion outside the flower building, or if you think something is wrong, can you burn this talisman?" Yes, let me know."

The innkeeper knew that he was capable, and that he was kind and honest on weekdays, so he took the yellow talisman and said, "Even if there was a commotion among them, we wouldn't know about it outside."

Cheng En nodded and said affirmatively, "That's true, but I can only do my best."

The innkeeper didn't ask any more questions, but advised Cheng Endao: "Master Dao, that place is not for good people, so I'll help you take a look at it, but you'd better get him out as soon as possible."

Cheng En made a bitter face: "I'm trying to find a way to raise money."

The proprietress of the inn saw that they were sneaking around and didn't know what to talk about, so she came over and asked loudly: "What are you two talking about? Can't see people?"

The innkeeper waved his hand and shouted: "Go, what are you doing with all these things, sit down and don't move around, be careful of fetal gas."

The proprietress got annoyed and scolded loudly: "Well, you dare to scold me, don't you!"

The innkeeper was really afraid that she would be careless, so he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be his grandson, coaxing his wife.

After saying goodbye to the innkeeper, Cheng En came out of the inn.The north wind is cool, the streets are piled with snow, and the bustling streets are full of people who buy new year's goods. They are in a hurry, but the smiles on their faces remain undiminished. It is the end of the year.

Some people recognized that he had set up a fortune-telling stall here a few days ago, saw that he was quite accurate and very pleasing, and gave him some oranges.Cheng En was holding a big yellow orange in his hand, and the folks asked, "When will you be free, Daxian, come and set up a stall, and tell my son."

"Daxian, my wife is about to give birth, boy or girl?"

"Master Zodiac, my little boy drew lots and caught a dice. Do you think he is the gambler's life? Oh, what a mess!"

"Daxian, my grandma gave me a dream, are you good at interpreting dreams?"

"Daoist! My house smoked some bacon, do you still live in the original shop? I'll send it to you tomorrow!"

During this period, there were shouts from several children, "Brother Cheng, look at Brother Cheng!" Cheng En was stunned, and the group of beggars broke through the human-shaped barrier and rushed towards Cheng Enlai.

These little beggars listened to Uncle Zeng's words very much, and planned to stay away from Cheng En in the future. Just as they were about to reciprocate, Cheng En disappeared into the sea of ​​people.But this group of homeless children was furious, why is this grown-up so mean, he just left without saying a word!Anyway, let me tell you, we will look for you in the future.

Seeing this Taoist Cheng who they have been talking about for a long time on a familiar street, they were pleasantly surprised.

Erwa: "Brother Cheng, you have no beard! Have you shaved it off?"

Little Wolf: "Brother Cheng, where have you been to play recently?"

Feirun: "I recognized you first! Don't squeeze me! Brother Cheng, I recognized you first!"

Gousheng: "Don't grab my orange! Feirun, give it back to me!"...

This group of little wolf cubs came forward to divide up Cheng En's reputation and the rewards he got by swiping his face, without mercy.Cheng En fooled the buzzing baby on the left, and coaxed the croaking baby on the right, stretched out his hand painstakingly, and passed the only remaining glutinous rice to the crying baby baby.Among the group of yelling children, there was a slightly older one who was looking at this side all the time, staying far away, hesitating to speak.

That's dumb.

Cheng En glanced over from time to time, the mute scratched his head and walked away on his own.

The group of children around Cheng En never bought good ones when they took advantage of the cheap price. When they saw delicious food, Cheng En insisted on treating them to a big meal.There are also reasons and evidences, the Chinese New Year is coming, Brother Cheng can't be stingy with the New Year's money, he has to be generous.

Little wolf: "Brother Cheng, you can't count your words, you agreed to take us to a restaurant for dinner!"

Fei Run: "Go to the most expensive and biggest one!"

Dabao: "Brother Cheng, I want to eat roasted duck legs."

Erwa: "I want many baskets of siu mai."

Cheng En: "..."

Cheng En suddenly remembered that in the twelfth lunar month of winter, these children still lived at the bottom of the bridge, and he wondered if they could carry it through.After asking, I found out that Uncle Zeng had already prepared bedding for them and set up windproof boards, all of which were warm and fluffy.When Uncle Zeng was mentioned, the group of kids started chattering again.

A magic stick with a bunch of ragged radish heads ate the best restaurant in the entire Rong County, which was strongly demanded by this group of Douding.

Daoist Cheng was blackmailed severely by these little beggars, and after eating and wiping them up, the group of dolls went back to sleep under the bridge screaming and scattered like birds and beasts.Walking on each side of the main road, Cheng Daochang walked around alone, realizing that he was penniless now, and couldn't even pay for the hotel.

What worried him even more was that he seemed to have lost Immortal Yanshu!

Immortal Yanshu remained silent, and seemed to be leaving again.

The night falls very early in the twelfth lunar month of winter, but snowflakes drifted for a long time.Daoist Cheng searched the street back and forth three times without giving up, and after making sure that Immortal Yanshu left without saying goodbye, he patted himself on the face, worked up all his energy, and continued to track down the green clothes and the black robes Yang Daxian.

It was getting late, and the bag was dry.Without a Taoist priest alone, he couldn't live there. He planned to find a ruined temple on the top of a nearby mountain first, and find a clean place by the way, and figure out where the two were.

As soon as Cheng En left Rong County, he saw an acquaintance who was the mute.

The mute was alone outside the city wall of Rong County, facing the northwest wind, rubbing his hands and stomping his feet all the time to keep out the cold.Seeing Cheng En, the mute's eyes lit up, and he hesitated to say something.Seeing that Cheng En stopped and did not continue to move forward, he hesitated and walked towards the god's stick. Dong was in front of the god's stick, but he couldn't speak for a long time. Cheng En was too small, so he hesitated. A half-day posture.

This dumb, whose brain circuit is different from ordinary people, has chilblains on his hands, which are purple and red, cracked.Cheng En took out a yellow talisman from his skirt.The talisman will not burn out after being ignited, and it has always maintained the golden and shiny shape of the talisman surface, which is a little hot to the touch.Cheng En put the talisman into the mute's hand, and said first, "How did you know I would pass by here?"

The dumb man covered his hands with the talisman paper, and smiled happily, showing two rows of white teeth, "I'll figure it out."

Cheng En said calmly, "Oh, why are you waiting for me here?"

After a while, the dumb man murmured, "Master Taoist, what is the lottery you unwrapped for Uncle Zeng?"

Cheng En was shocked. He asked this?For such a long time, waiting here unrelentingly is just to satisfy a little curiosity?Cheng En thought that the mute had figured it out and was waiting here on purpose to blackmail him.

The mute continued to speak, with a hoarse voice that is rare for young people, "I have read your book about Huang Daxian's seriousness, Zuo Ci played Cao Cao, and it was clearly a magic lottery. Zuo Ci was chased and killed by Cao Cao in the end, implying good There are hidden dangers under the illusion."

Cheng En couldn't help exclaiming in his heart: You are very good young man!You have a good memory, do you want to learn how to be a fairy like me?

He suppressed his true thoughts, with a natural expression on his face, waving the finely painted grass-green mountain and river folding fan he picked up from the mirage, and posing as a great fairy: "You don't understand now, as the saying goes You can’t solve the lottery based on what is said in the scriptures, but you have to look at six directions and listen to all directions. There is one solution for this person who draws this lottery, and another solution for another person who draws the same lottery. Make a lottery Naturally, there is also a solution to the above. Naturally, this depends on the individual's cultivation and understanding."

The implication, boy, question me?You are not qualified yet.

Cheng En stroked his beard, felt for nothing, and found that he didn't have a fake beard on at the moment, so he shook two folding fans, "Young man, do you understand?"

The mute seems to understand, but also seems not to understand.Cheng En naturally knew that what the young man said was true, and according to his vicious personality when he usually unwrapped others, he would send eight words to Uncle Zeng: Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.It's just that he won't admit that he just felt cowardly just looking at their uncle Zeng's vicious look, always worried that that man would come up to him and beat him up suddenly, plus he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he would just pick out good words to fool him .

He didn't care whether the mute understood or not, he set off immediately, turned away from the thoughtful mute, and ran towards the nearby hilltop.

When he was far away and no one could be seen, Cheng Shengun turned around and confided what was in his heart.He yelled in the direction of Rong County: "Young man! You are very talented, much better than me. I waited for you to come into our school and become a master!"

Suddenly, I heard a slight laugh from one person.Immortal Yan Shu suddenly appeared, he smiled and said: "Little Taoist priest, the way you fool people is really novel."

Cheng En made a false alarm and said dumbfounded, "Immortal, is it really you?"

Ever since Immortal Yuheng came out of the small mirage, he has hidden his body, which is intentional when he sees too many people.Just when he was about to speak, he realized that the little Taoist could not see him now, and Cheng En didn't know that Yan Shu was actually following him all the way.

It was an unexpected joy to be able to see Immortal Yanshu. Cheng En also thought that if he attained enlightenment as soon as possible, maybe the two of them would have the chance to meet again in heaven after 80 or [-] years.It's just that I don't know if I can really wait for that day, and I don't know if Xianjun Yanshu can still remember this little Taoist priest who had a meager fate in the mortal world.

Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, Cheng Shenstick, who was overjoyed, enthusiastically pulled Immortal Yanshu, whom he had just met not long ago, and continued to track the black clothes and green clothes that had been exposed in Longhu Mountain.

Along the way, Cheng En swept away the respect and obedience he first met, and was full of curiosity about the life of immortals in the heaven and earth, and became increasingly talkative.Cheng En: "Immortal Yanshu, is the Alchemy Furnace of Taishang Laojun really that powerful?"

Cheng En: "Xianjun, is there really a Jade Emperor in the sky?"

Cheng En: "My lord, can gods really live so long?"

……

Yan Shu racked his brains to give the little Taoist a good answer.

Yan Shu: "Well, it's very powerful." Taishang Laojun, he doesn't have much impression.But the alchemy furnace is real, and Shanjian brings some elixir from the Supreme Lord from time to time, and it is rumored that it has all kinds of miraculous effects.As for the Jade Emperor, Yan didn't know how the people below entertained the gods in the sky.

Yan Shu said: "The second question, I didn't know if there was one before, but now there is no one in the sky. Now Xiaoye is in charge of going to heaven, the third prince."

As for the last question, Yan Shu was quite sure: "It's been a long time."
