Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 78 Humiliating Yuan Shouwei?
After hearing this, Hou Junji was also happy, looked at Zhongqing and asked: "Taoist Master, what is the meaning of this sign?"

Zhongqing took the tag and said:

"Sacrifice to the natural spirits sincerely means that when the Marquis dominates the battlefield, he naturally uses thunderbolt means. In war, it is normal for the means to be harsher."

"It's just that outside the battlefield, the Marquis believes in Taoism wholeheartedly and is very pious. In this way, the killings are resolved, and of course all the wishes in his heart will come true."

"With meat and fish, it is auspicious. It means that all the thoughts and wishes in the adults' hearts will come true one by one. This also just proves that the Marquis was rewarded by the emperor."

The explanation of these two sentences made Hou Junji very satisfied, and he said repeatedly: "The Taoist's calculation is really accurate. Please explain to me the hexagrams of the next two sentences."

Zhongqing nodded and explained again:
"Adventures lead to great achievements. Asking for benefits brings joy." These two sentences mean that the Marquis marched thousands of miles and it was not easy to conquer Gaochang.

"After you have paid so much, you will naturally have to ask for something in return, and now His Majesty has agreed to all your requests. You can go even further in the future, and I will be overjoyed."

The explanation immediately made Hou Junji feel elated, and he was so determined that he had long forgotten about going to the palace to plead guilty.

He stepped forward and grabbed Zhongqing's hand and said, "The Taoist priest is a true god. Every sentence he calculated comes from my heart, and every sentence reflects my true situation now."

"Chu Shi, hurry up. Let someone seal 50 taels of silver to the Taoist priest as a thank you gift."

Zhongqing looked at Hou Junji and said seriously: "Master Hou is so reluctant to praise me. A poor Taoist cannot be called a god or a man."

"What's more, the rewards that the Marquis received were all obtained by risking his life. Pindao just explained the situation of the hexagram truthfully."

"This poor man deserves this thank you and will definitely not accept it."

These self-effacing words made Hou Junji extremely satisfied.

"Such humility and respect are the true nature of a Taoist. It is really not a tiny bit higher than Yuan Shouwei's level."

"Come here, have a banquet in honor of the Taoist Priest. I want to have a good chat with the Taoist Priest."

Zhongqing who was beside him asked in surprise, "Master Hou and Yuan Shouwei still have some relationship?"

After hearing this, Hou Junji's face suddenly darkened, and he let out a loud 'poof'.
"What kind of relationship can there be between me and that Niubi? Some of the grudges are real."

"Ah, Taoist priest, don't get me wrong. When I say Niubi, I don't mean you."

Zhong Qing didn't take it seriously, and said:

"Oh, how could the Marquis have a grudge against a little Taoist like him?"

Hou Junji didn't hide anything, so he told everything about his fortune telling that day.

After hearing this, Zhongqing couldn't help but snorted coldly from his nose,
"As expected, he is a rooster and a dog thief. He actually said some hexagrams to scare the pilgrims. He just wanted to defraud a few silver coins."

After Hou Junji heard this, he felt even more relaxed.
"The Taoist Master is right. None of the hexagrams Yuan Shouwei told me in the past have come true."

"On the contrary, I am getting better and better, and everything is going well."

Zhongqing waved the whisk in his hand again, "This is the scourge of my Taoist sect."

"To be honest with you, Lord Marquis, I came down from the mountain to educate the people and give them guidance."

"The second thing is to eradicate these disrespectful people and give our Taoism a bright future."

After hearing this, Hou Junji was moved in his heart. This Zhongqing seemed to be a capable person.

I might as well use this person to humiliate Yuan Shouwei well, so that I can get out of this bad breath.

Just when I thought of this, a servant came to report that the banquet was ready, and Hou Junji joined Zhongqing at the table.

After the wine was half full, Hou Junji said: "I am missing a strategic think tank in my mansion. I wonder if the Taoist priest is interested?"

Zhongqing did not speak, but secretly thought: How much money can I make in a year by watching orders in Xuandu?This Hou Junji is currently in great power. If I join him, I will definitely be able to flatter him with my sharp tongue.

Then he smiled and said, "When the Marquis opens his mouth, how dare I disobey you?"

Hou Junji was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to seal Zhongqing 100 taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

Zhongqing looked at the 100 taels of silver and was secretly happy. I usually only accept five taels of silver from others at most, but Hou Junji only gave this much in one visit!

Well, those 50 taels of silver were indeed well spent.

When the two sides sat down again, Hou Junji intentionally or unintentionally started to turn the topic on Yuan Shouwei.

At this time, Zhongqing was already half drunk. After hearing what Hou Junji said, he slammed the table.
"The dignified Lord Marquis has been humiliated by a first-order path. This is unbearable."

"Master Marquis, I will go to Huayin County tomorrow to humiliate the trail, so that I can get rid of this bad temper in you."

Hou Junji was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "If the Taoist priest comes out, he will definitely be able to avenge my previous shame."

"Excuse me, Master, how are you going to humiliate this person?"

Zhongqing said drunkenly: "Isn't he known as a stargazer and good at divination?"

"Pindao also has quite a bit of research in this area. Let Yuan Shouwei see what true divine calculation is tomorrow."

Hou Junji was overjoyed and said excitedly:

"Taoist Priest, after you defeat Yuan Shouwei, demolish that ruined temple for me so that I can completely get rid of this bad breath."

Zhongqing nodded repeatedly and stayed at Hou Junji's house that night.

The next day, Zhongqing finished washing and bid farewell to Hou Junji.

He took the dozens of guards assigned to him by Hou Junji, which could also be said to be a demolition brigade, and headed straight for Beiming Mountain in Huayin County.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Zhongqing looked at the Beiming Mountain in front of him and couldn't help but be more careful.

Why is the spiritual energy on this mountain so rich?

It seems to be a bit stronger than my spiritual energy in Zhongnan Mountain.

People who can live in this mountain must have some real skills, otherwise they would have been driven away long ago.

I can't go up the mountain so recklessly, so it would be best to find someone to inquire about.

There are many people busy here, so I can just ask them.

I just have to avoid the guards following me and not let them understand my intentions.

Thinking of this, he turned to the leader of the guards and said, "General Wang, could you please wait here with all the brothers while I go to the mountain alone to take a look."

After hearing this, the leader Wang couldn't help but hesitated and said: "Taoist Master, the Marquis wants us to protect you personally."

Zhongqing showed a confused smile: "No need to worry too much, I have a way to deal with Yuan Shouwei."

"As for the mystery, if you know too much, I'm afraid it will easily come back to bite you."

"Why don't you wait until I take down Yuan Shouwei and then call you up the mountain. It's just a matter of me taking a few more steps."

Leader Wang understood clearly and nodded gratefully to Zhongqing, "Then there is Taoist Master Lao. We are here waiting for your good news."

Zhongqing smiled slightly and asked for directions.With his big sleeves fluttering, he walked up the mountain alone.
