The day of fortune-telling for the dragon

It was broad daylight, and although Hua Jue was eager to return home, she still knew that business should be the first priority, so she hurriedly packed up and followed the city lord to the suburbs, only bringing a cat with Judge Pen Flush Dabao with her.The carriage was bumping, Hua Jue looked out, and casually asked the city lord, "Where is Mr. Sang?"

The city lord sat beside him, looking down at a document in his hand, but sighed: "I'm sick, I fell asleep at home."

Hua Jue was shocked: "Sick?"

"The weather has changed recently, maybe it's typhoid fever, and he is impatient, so he rushed to do something in his superiors, which ruined his body." The city lord's voice was flat, but Hua Jue felt a little helpless from it, "If you have time, you can persuade me." I advise you Mr. Sang, your words are more effective than mine."

Hua Jue was flattered, and hurriedly nodded: "I will. City Lord, can I go back with you to see him after this matter is over?"

Xie Ran teased Hua Dabao for a while, let him lick his fingers, pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, but you are not coming, count as me and Xiao Sang inviting you over, after seeing the mouth of the well, we have one more important thing to do Need to talk to you."

Seeing Xie Ran's expression, Hua Jue knew that this matter must be important, and it was inconvenient to talk about it now, so she also nodded, followed others down the township, and came to a peaceful mountain village.

This is a remote place under the name of Jiangling, called Hejing. This settlement is surrounded by several mountains. The peaks are narrow and the mountainsides are long, especially the curve of Xiaohe's neck, so it got its name.The temple is located on the top of the mountain, and it has been abandoned for a long time. It is said that the year of its construction can be traced back to several dynasties, and the incense has been cut off in the past ten years.

"There used to be a Taoist priest who lived here for ten days and half a month, helping to take care of it. No one will take care of him after he leaves," the city owner said.

Hua Jue asked: "Taoist...take care of the monk's temple?"

"The worshiper in the temple is Daoist Cihang," said the city lord.

Hearing what he said, Hua Jue understood: Daoist Cihang is the only female disciple under Yuanshi Tianzun's seat, a Jurchen master who is a common Jurchen of Buddhism and Taoism. , which is what ordinary people call Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.Taoism and Buddhism are all blessed by this real person, so there is nothing wrong with Taoist priests coming to take care of this temple.

Hua Jue was a little curious. When the emperor was in power, the five consecutive national teachers were all Taoists. Without a single monk, the whole country worshiped Taoism, and Buddhism withered instead.Under such circumstances, what kind of person would the Taoist priest who came up the mountain be?

He followed up the mountain, and saw the small temple under the cover of the forest, which was even more dilapidated than he had imagined. Half of the roof was missing, half of it was decayed and empty, and the other half was as good as new.Xie Ran was at the side covering his head, and after the others cleaned up the dust earlier, only the two of them went in.

Hua Jue turned around and found the well that the city lord mentioned under the altar: a hexagonal dry well, more than five inches above the ground, with an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm attached to each corner It was firmly nailed to the ground, and a piece of soft, old and yellowed talisman paper was pasted in the middle.The chains are dark and firm, and they are as scary as the curses filled with runes filled with cinnabar. When ordinary people see it, they will definitely think about what is trapped in the ground. No wonder the city lord and the others want to find him.

Hua Jue squatted on the ground to study, Jiangling city lord avoided the talisman paper, stretched out his hand and pulled one of the chains vigorously, signaling Hua Jue to try it too.Hua Jue stretched out her hand to pull her over, and took a few steps back. The iron chain was movable, and he pulled it half a foot, but it couldn't move any more.Hua Jue probed to look inside, but the city lord lit a scythe and threw it down. The bright light slid down the well wall, illuminating the depths, and then disappeared, as if completely swallowed by the darkness.

Hua Jue said in surprise, "How deep is this...?"

The city owner said: "If there is no water at the bottom, it will be more than ten feet. It is hard to say if there is water. This well was originally above the ground to balance the waterways on all sides. In recent years, the weather has been good and no one cares about it. Only this year did we find that the water has become so dry. It’s gone. My people don’t dare touch it, so I invite you to take a look. If you don’t violate the taboo, I will demolish this place and re-drain water to build a well.”

Hua Jue squatted by the well, and carefully touched the talisman paper.The paper was yellow and brittle like a peeling wall, but it was not damaged at all when the monk temple collapsed in half.He opened the talisman paper, at first he didn't understand the writing on it, but when he looked down, he found that the nails in the keyhole looked familiar.

He said in a low voice: "... Qinggong Taoism."

Hua Jue recognized it. The nine-inch long nail was engraved with a pair of blue-gray concentric bells. It was the magic weapon that the group of evil Taoists wanted to use to crucify the black dragon.

The city lord of Jiangling was also taken aback: "People from Qinggong?"

With the support of the Holy Master, the Qinggong Taoist School has become famous 20 years ago. It is not obvious in the south, but it is well known in the north.People from the lineage of Yin-Yang Fengshui commented that they "use the essence of things but neglect the law", which means that their instruments and spells are very powerful, much more fierce and accurate than ordinary practitioners, but strangely, the people in the Qing Palace have nothing to do with it. Talented talents tend to be mediocre instead. In the past 20 years, there has not been a Feng Shui genius, only one old man who is praised by others can barely make up the number.It's like a waste born with a golden spoon in its mouth. It looks like a beautiful embroidered pillow to outsiders, but it's stuffed with a bag of straw.

Now Hua Jue also knows that these prestigious names were brought by Ning Qing 20 years ago. Even after a few short years of glory, this honor has been occupied by people with ulterior motives until today.

He turned the piece of talisman paper over, tilted his head upside down, looked at it for a while and still didn't recognize it, so he threw the money and shifted the tray.

After doing some calculations, Hua Jue looked up hesitantly and said to Xie Ran, "City Master, there is...a dragon inside."

Seeing that everyone took a step back in shock, Hua Jue knew that she had made a fool of herself.Only City Lord Jiangling remained calm: "Are you sure?"

Hua Jue herself was a little surprised, so she could only nod her head.After Xie Ran whispered a few words to the people around him, he retreated from the crowd and asked him: "So, can you move this thing to another place?"

Hua Jue tentatively asked: "Moving to another place means..."

"Seal it in another place, or kill the contents inside." Xie Ran said, "There is only one true dragon, and the rest are evil dragons. They must be hidden or completely removed. Do you understand? This matter must not be spread outside the public. "

Hua Jue understood the eyes of the city lord, and knew that the matter was big or small, so she changed her words in a polite manner: "I made a mistake, and the mountain god of Hejing Mountain is sealed inside, protecting the water veins in all directions here. The incense is offered, and the magic power is lacking, so the well is dry."

Xie Ran nodded, and called him in small characters as usual: "Jian Yu, go out and talk to others." After patting Hua Jue on the shoulder, he led him out.Hua Jue clarified to others again with a magic stick posture, and only then suppressed this little false alarm.

Xie Ran said: "Let's do that for today, Biyu, if you have time these few days, is there a way to solve this matter?"

Hua Jue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, two days is enough."

After the two chatted for a while, the city lord of Jiangling hurried down the mountain, headed for the construction waterway, and left the carriage with Hua Jue.Hua Jue looked back at the dilapidated small temple behind her, and felt that the dark doorway was like an eye quietly looking at him.

Dragon again?He thought, did he commit a crime by fate?

Fortunately, he still has a dragon at home. With the Xuanlong, maybe he can have a good talk with that thing down the well.Hua Jue wrote the word "town" with a judge's pen, and used this talisman paper to replace the original talisman paper.The moment he tore off the talisman paper, he vaguely felt the wind rising from the mouth of the well, and it disappeared when the new talisman was attached.He looked at the talisman paper strangely, saw a few words in it, and then silently put it into his sleeve.

After all this was done, the sky had just darkened, and it was dusk.When Hua Jue drove back to the town of Jiangling in a carriage, it was already getting dark.

He stepped into the courtyard and put Hua Dabao down.Hua Dabao was so hungry that he rushed to the back kitchen, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find his small dried fish. Hua Jue looked left and right, and found that Xuanlong had brought back a cart full of bricks, and another sandalwood bed was piled up in the courtyard. , very spacious, can sleep two people in both directions, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Hua Jue immediately began to ponder: where should this bed be placed?

Is the bed in his original bedroom going to be thrown out?

While thinking, Hua Jue looked for another user of her bed. After walking in, she found that Xuanlong had turned into a dragon and was lying on the table. Rice paste, very bleak.

There is a faint smell of paste in the air.

Hua Jue checked her own pot first, and found that the pot was only stained and not burned, so she felt relieved: "Hey, did you cook for yourself?"

Hua Dabao jumped onto the table, licked Xuanlong's bowl, and then jumped aside in disgust.Little Phoenix squatted in front of the table, also facing the smaller bowl, motionless, with a faint cry in his voice: "Hua Jue, I'm hungry. Why did you come back?"

Hua Jue smiled and took Little Phoenix into her palm and touched it: "Why, isn't it good to cook with Xiaofeng?"

The little black dragon lying on the table finally moved: "It's not delicious."

Hua Jue took a closer look and found that this guy fried the white rice directly in the pot without oil or salt, probably to make something like fried rice candy that Hua Jue likes to eat.Xuanlong took it for granted that fried rice, as the name suggests, means putting rice into a pot and frying it. Xuanlong found that it was too late, so he tried to remedy it by adding water, which made a bowl of sparse rice paste, which was still black. of.

Hua Jue took a sip, and found that the rice grains were burnt on the outside, but the inside was still raw, half-hard but not hard after biting into it, and the mouth was full of bitterness, with a hint of weird, incomparably sweet fragrance.

Hua Jue asked: "Did you add sugar?"

The little black dragon nodded silently.

"How much did you add?"

Xuanlong tried to argue: "I want to make its color look better, the color of brown sugar is better, so I just..."

.

"How much did you add?" Hua Jue ignored him and continued to ask.

Xuanlong was honest: "Half a catty."

Hua Jue held back her laughter, knocked Long on the head, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Go wash the pots and dishes."

The little black dragon slipped down from the table and obediently went to wash the dishes.

With the little phoenix on Hua Jue's head, under the watchful eyes of Hua Dabao, he started to light a fire and cook, while Liu Xuanlong diligently washed the dishes outside the house.Hua Jue cleaned up the mess left by Xuanlong, hid the last half bag of brown sugar, and started steaming fruits, cooking and cooking.

After a while, Hua Jue put the bowls on the table, went out and brought Xiao Heilong back from the sink: "It's time to eat."

Xuanlong expressed that he wanted to eat on his lap, but Hua Jue refused: "You change back for me."

Xuanlong changed back into a human form, and began to eat with chopsticks aggrievedly.Hua Jue watched him holding back for a long time, as if he wanted to speak, but he held back halfway through eating: "Why are you coming home so late."

Hua Jue picked up a piece of boiled fish for him: "I'm going to find another dragon."

Xuanlong glanced at him, gave a cold "hum", made it clear that he didn't believe him, picked the thorns out of the boiled fish in the bowl, and put the rest of the meat back into the Huajue bowl.

Hua Jue smiled: "It's true, don't believe me, I want to introduce the two of you." Then, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xuanlong: "Look, there is something on it." Do you recognize his name?"

Hua Jue is very proud. After Xuanlong studied for a period of time, his knowledge has already surpassed him, but he knows nothing about his old profession.Huajue has never won in stringing words, flying flower orders, and comparing wine with poetry. Only Kangua can completely defeat this dragon.Xuanlong couldn't recognize the characters on this paper that looked like ghostly drawn symbols.

Xuanlong really didn't recognize it: "What is it?"

Hua Jue rested her chin and looked at him: "I won't tell you."

"Must tell me."

"I won't tell you."

Hua Jue smiled silly, Xuan Long wiped his mouth and rinsed his mouth, put down the bowl and chopsticks expressionlessly, and then walked to his side: "Hua Jue."

Hua Jue immediately sensed the approaching crisis: "Wait, what are you going to do?"

"Which dragon?" Xuanlong approached him and asked him, suddenly hugged him horizontally, and let him move around randomly.

Hua Jue fluttered: "Put me down quickly, Xiaofeng, there is no dragon, I didn't find any other dragons, I just came across one that was sealed in the well by chance, and I never saw it."

Xuanlong hummed again: "It's late."

Little Fenghuang jumped at the side and said, "It's late! It's late! Don't see anything wrong, don't listen to anything wrong!" Then he jumped off the table and hit the head of the fat-headed tabby cat with his pointed mouth: "Okay, brother Hua Dabao, let's go out Let's play, Hua Jue won't care what kind of play it is today."

One cat and one bird are in perfect harmony, and they went out to roll in the mud.

Xuanlong strode into the room, gently placed Hua Jue on the bed, and then bent down.Hua Jue's cheeks started to get hot again, and her voice gradually decreased, until she was kissed by Xuan Long until she couldn't hear her.

"I miss you so much." Xuan Long whispered.

Hua Jue let out a "hmm".

"Why did you come back so late? I miss you so much after not seeing you for a day, is that true?" Xuanlong asked seriously, "Is it... your spell?"

Hua Jue let him kiss her ears, lips, eyebrows, and gently replied: "It's not a trick, it's like this between lovers."

He looked up at him, his eyes sparkling: "I am the same, and I miss you very much."

Probably relieved, Xuanlong didn't say anything, and concentrated on taking care of the person under him.Hua Jue was overwhelmed by his teasing, grabbed his shoulders, and asked blankly, "Are you going to... a bridal chamber today?"

Xuanlong paused, brushed his fingers over his wet hair, and kissed him: "Not today, do you want it?"

Hua Jue admitted: "I have a little thought."

Xuanlong smiled: "Be patient, your body is not fully recovered, so I won't torment you." He took a deep breath, looked at the face of the person in front of him, as if he was suppressing the desire welling up in his heart, his whole body tensed up. With pain everywhere, Hua Jue was slowly stripped naked, sticking together inseparably like the two had their first night together, grinding carefully, and viciously exploring the gap between each other.The quilt inside the bed tent was undulating like a tide, the panting sounds of the two overlapped, and the tide of emotion was surging.

In the end, Hua Jue was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers, but Xuan Long was still very energetic.When Hua Jue was carried into the bucket by him to scrub, she was still thinking that her physical foundation was indeed a little weaker, when would she be able to get better and let him crush this dragon for a while?

He looked down, thinking wildly, Xuanlong thought he was dishonest and wanted to make trouble with him, but Hua Jue patted him back: "Don't make trouble."

Hua Jue looked down again, and added in a tough voice, "Don't be so...so rascal."

Xuanlong is very innocent: "I can't control it."

Hua Jue felt something hard press against his thigh, the area between his legs had been rubbed red before, and it hurt even more after soaking in hot water.Hua Jue saw that Xuanlong was about to pounce on him again, and while barely hugging his back, he quickly told him what happened today: "I saw that the name of the divine beast is actually written on that talisman paper." Yes, you may know him."

Xuanlong said: "I don't know, I only know you."

Hua Jue pushed him vigorously: "I know—don't touch that—"

Xuanlong was obviously absent-minded: "Well, I know, who is that?"

Seeing that the plot was about to succeed, Hua Jue lowered her head and softly whispered in his ear: "—Your second brother."

"What?" Xuanlong visibly shook, and the degree of fright he received even made him let go of Hua Jue.

Hua Jue cleared her throat, and repeated: "Long gave birth to nine sons, the eldest is a prisoner, and the second is Yazi. You are the third, and you are mocking wind. What is written on this talisman is the word Yazi, your second brother .”

Xuanlong: "..."

Hua Jue glanced down one last time, satisfied: "Okay, let's stop making trouble? Everyone can rest now. Go to sleep, lady."
