The day of fortune-telling for the dragon

Like ghosts, Xuanlong and Huajue stayed with the old Taoist in the temple in the mountain for a while.From time to time, someone went up to the mountain to offer incense, and Hua Jue gradually knew that this old man's Taoist name was Hu Hua.

It's not the flower protector that ordinary people make fun of the relationship between men and women. It is rumored by others that this person is the reincarnation of the flower protector before the Buddha. He took care of five trees and six flowers in Brahma.In other words, he didn't tell others about this dao name himself, but it was passed down by others.Whether it's true or not, Hua Jue doesn't know, but only knows that this person is not an ordinary person. He seems to have crossed paths with Ning Qing before, and was invited to join the Qinggong Taoist sect, but left after Ning Qing died.

The old man locked the mouth of the well with soul-suppressing nails, built a statue of Cihang on it, and murmured: "From then on, this temple is named after the real person Cihang, and the incense of Yazi, the dragon god, is kept. All the offerings are recorded in Yazi. Name, to quell the wrath of the gods."

A deep echo came from the mouth of the deep well. The old man shook his head and sighed: "If you want to blame, you can blame me. If humans and gods are in harmony, there must be such involvement. This is the fault of that little dragon and my friend."

The talisman paper has only been used for ten years, which is just a drop in the ocean compared to the lifespan of the gods and demons for tens of millions of years.But for Xuanlong who was hiding in hiding at that time, ten years was the time to save his life.

Xuanlong said: "On the way I came out from Xingzhou to look for you, only Yazi beat me the most. After that, he didn't show up again for more than ten years. I thought he went home and got married."

Hua Jue pinched him: "If you get a cheap deal, you'll still be a good boy."

The old man stayed in the mountains for several months, during which time he often talked with Yazi at the bottom of the well.At that time, Yazi was just deprived of freedom, but his consciousness was still clear, the old man said, and he listened.The Taoist protector threw the best scented tea cakes into the well, Yazi also ate them, and had a good temper.

A few days later, the old Taoist said: "I can't stay here. I figured it out a few days ago. My friend has been reincarnated. I have to find him and take a look for him."

The dragon in the well snored heavily.

"I'm old too, and this life should be taken by impermanence. I don't know if I can come back here. If I come back, I will accompany you here until I die. If I can't come back, you will know that I am dead. Ten years later you Once you are free again, you can seek revenge on me on Huangquan Road, and I will wait for you by the River of Forgetfulness for ten years." The old man changed his whisk into a walking stick, and bowed deeply to the mouth of the well, "So farewell."

The old man went down the mountain, with a light breeze and light rain, and the mountains were green.

"Where is he going?" Xuanlong asked.

After the old man went down the mountain, time seemed to speed up a little.Xuanlong transformed into his original body, and Hua Jue chased after him all the way on his back.There was a little gray donkey beside the old Taoist. When the road was smooth, the old man rode on the donkey. When it was uneven, he held the reins and climbed slowly with crutches.Some places are so remote that there's not even any footsteps of people, but the old man passed by without any difficulty, as if there were cranes under his feet.

On the way to the south, Hua Jue saw his destination.

"It's Xingzhou. He's looking for Ning Qing's reincarnation, which is... me."

Hua Jue felt her heart pounding.The giant dragon under him turned his head and rubbed against his palm lightly: "Don't be afraid."

The home he couldn't find in Little Phoenix's dream was here.

Hua Jue became nervous for no reason, and suddenly understood what the ancients said "feeling close to home and timidity".When he arrived in that small mountain city, when the sense of intimacy and familiarity that he had since he was ignorant wrapped him up, he still didn't dare to take a step forward.

The Taoist protector washes off the dust on his face by the stream, and sips the water, which is sweet.Behind him are deep forests and morning mist, and in front of him are empty fields and families in twos and threes.

"Are you a god? Are you a medicine doctor?" The old man had an extraordinary temperament, and ordinary people dared not approach him. Only a few children picking grass came to ask questions.

The old man smiled: "Do you have a family named Cao Mu who recently got a baby?"

"Yes! Yes! It's the Hua's family, the head of the village. Their daughter-in-law gave birth yesterday, and all the medicine men have gone." The little boy chirped over, wanting to lead the old way.Hua Jue followed, looking around the scene all the way, feeling an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

Someone said: "I don't know if it's a male doll or a female doll."

There is a gentle breeze between the fields, bringing some fragrance of straw leaves.Someone came running towards him, looking distressed and flustered, and what they said was exactly what they were discussing at the moment: "It's bad, don't go, the doctor saw it this morning, their child was born with a weak disease, I don’t have enough breath, I’m afraid I won’t survive tomorrow. Don’t go, don’t go, we don’t want to watch this kind of excitement.”

A little boy was surprised and said: "How could it be? The Hua family's ancestors have been such good people for generations, why did they suffer from such a disaster?"

Hua Jue's footsteps paused.

Xuan Long shook his hand again: "Don't be afraid."

The Taoist protector just smiled, shook his head and said, "Please take me there, I may have a way."

A group of people continued to move forward, but the atmosphere was much duller, as if they were suddenly interrupted by this bad news about another family.The old Taoist counted the hours on his own, and asked, "Is your surname Hua... when was his baby born?"

"The old fairy was born yesterday at Sishi."

"Yesterday, Sishi..." The old Taoist walked in slowly, pushing aside the crowded crowd in the courtyard.

Hua Jue saw the faces of many people, went back and forth many times, and picked out the person who raised him at a glance: "Grandma!"

He forgot for a moment that the people in this illusion couldn't hear him, and that Grandma Hua was younger and more beautiful than anything he had ever seen. She was nearly forty years old, and she was still called a "girl" by passers-by.Grandma Hua sat in front of the court with a serious face, and there was a little sadness in her bright eyes.

Hua Jue's voice trailed off: "Grandma..."

Xuanlong pulled him tightly, telling him to look into the inner room.

There was a faint smell of blood in the room, and the water basin on the ground had not been taken away, and a few drops of reddish liquid were falling.The Hua family has virtue and prestige in the village. Although they are not rich and powerful, they are also well-off. The family has already made preparations for the birth of a new life: a rocking chair made of pear blossom wood, cloth tigers and bells that have been washed and dried many times, and Taiwan. A pair of cute and delicate tiger-toed shoes are placed in front of her.The baby in the rocking chair was blue and barely breathing.

Xuanlong whispered: "...this is you."

Hua Jue looked down at the wrinkled child and remained silent.

"Dare to ask Madam, was your son born at Sishi yesterday?" the old Taoist asked.Hua Jue heard a tired and weak woman's voice in the tent saying: "Yes, my son was born last night."

What year and month is this year?

Hua Jue raised her eyes, trying to find out the answer to this question.The old Taoist seemed to be able to perceive his wishes, and said softly: "Yihai year, Jichou month, Dingmao day, Yisi time. The year pillar and the heavenly stem Yimu, this is the destiny only for women. He is..."

The following words overlap with what Hua Jue blurted out.Xuan Long looked back, but couldn't distinguish Hua Jue's expression.

Hua Jue said in a daze, "It's... Zhengyin Fate."

The person next to him knelt down on the ground: "The young master is a man, what should we do? Immortal, tell me what to do?"

The old Taoist said: "The boy with positive yin fate has gone wrong in the underworld, and he is easily killed by impermanence. It is better to discard it."

The wind stopped, and the room was silent.

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded.Normally, this voice should be as clear as a silver bell, but now it seems to be mixed with gravel, a little hoarse, but still pleasant to the ear.

"Please save him, he is a descendant of my Hua family, this child cannot be lost."

"Ma'am, think twice. A child with a positive yin destiny will attract ghosts. If he survives, he will be lonely and sick all his life. It is better not to save him." The old Taoist said.

Grandma Hua insisted: "We must save."

"Save him alone, if the whole family is in disaster, do you still want to save this?" The old man said calmly, "The fate of this person is also a bad omen, and it will harm the clan and family members. Father, brother and relatives will all be implicated and die soon. Madam, can you think about it?"

"Think about it." Grandma Hua kowtowed, and then stood up, "Since it will affect the whole family, I would like to take him out of Xingzhou, and treat him as a child who lost his father and forget his past."

"Ma'am, no!"

"Mother, no!"

As soon as her words fell, everyone scrambled to stop her.A handsome man who looks like a scholar shook his head and said: "I am his father, I should be responsible for this matter alone, if you want to ask mother to go out alone, why don't I go with my son first."

The old man laughed loudly: "You are wrong. People with yin fate want to live, and they can't touch men until they are ten years old. Young master, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about it."

He went on to say: "People with positive yin destiny will not be able to crown their hair or marry for life. If they are supported by Changyin, they will find a place in Changyang to survive this calamity."

Changyin support means to be brought up by female elders.

And the place of Changyang...

Xuanlong said: "It should be the imperial city, and the imperial city has a dragon spirit. But why did you stay in Jiangling in the end?"

Hua Jue heard and saw this, but he didn't want to look at it anymore, he turned his back and walked out slowly, squatting on the grass.

Xuan Long glanced back, followed him out, squatted facing him, and gently patted his head with his hand.

Hua Jue said: "So it's really like this. My birth caused so much trouble to my family, and it was my grandma who took me alone, and it's over after suffering so much."

Xuanlong said: "Yes."

Hua Jue said again: "But I've grown up so much, I'm still a sick child, I don't know when I'll leave. If it weren't for me, grandma might live a longer and more comfortable life."

Xuanlong sighed, hugged him into his arms, and silently patted his back.Hua Jue counted to him one by one according to the impression just now: "My father, you saw the person in the black dress, and my mother, she is very good-looking."

Xuan Long said: "You are very similar to them, more like your mother, she is a beauty."

There was a child running around in the courtyard, about four or five years old, who didn't know what the adults were arguing about.Hua Jue heard that he once had an older brother, probably the child in front of him.

Hua Jue tried to wipe her eyes, and said in a calm voice: "I... I have read the Xingzhou county annals in recent years at the city lord, and I saw that it said that when I was six years old, there was a flood everywhere, and Xingzhou The whole city was flooded and turned into a sea. They should all be dead."

His voice became lower and lower, more chaotic as it went back, and he could hardly hold back, and finally let out a few crying sounds: "I was 15 years old, and my grandma died of illness, and she was not even sixty."

"Don't be afraid." Xuanlong panicked when he cried.Xuanlong gently wiped his face, and whispered softly in his ear: "They are gone, it's not because of you, life and death in the world are hard to tell, now you still have me by your side, I am a demon, you... don't be afraid."

He was also the treasure in the hearts of many people. He had a pair of parents who were too late for others to envy, a grandfather who was confused, and an elder brother who protected his shortcomings.Hua Jue didn't know what she was crying about. Was it his life that shouldn't have started?It was these people he missed, and he caused the rest of his life that grandma missed.

He lost his parents and elder brother, so why isn't his grandma separated from his relatives.He owes the most to his family, but unfortunately he has no way to repay it now.

Inside the house, Grandma Hua finally stopped the quarrel.The Hua family is harmonious, and the family has never had red eyes, except at this moment.

"There are women in this house, one for me and one for my daughter-in-law. You two children just got married, and you have your business to do, unlike me, who is old and has a lot of years to take him with him, so let's talk about it Definitely. I will set off tomorrow and leave with this Taoist priest.”

Grandma Hua moved out the family rules: "No rebuttal."

The Taoist brought a piece of jade with the word "Ning" deeply embedded in it, but no one found it.He made another scarecrow, wrote Hua Jue's birth date on it, and called Grandma Hua, "Remember, from now on, use this dummy as a substitute for your child. I'm here to change his life today, and replace it with Yin's." Children born at the time of the lunar year are regarded as partial Yin, and they must be raised as girls before the age of ten, and they must not leak their words in the future, remember?"

"You must not say it," the Taoist protector repeated, pointing upwards: "Black and white impermanence can listen."

"I understand." Grandma Hua said.

The author has something to say: Did you smell the ending?It's just a few days, the ending will be updated like last time, everyone take your time, don't worry.
