Emperor Yongzheng
Chapter 103: The orphaned girl was taken into custody and returned to the capital to guard the mauso
Chapter 103: The orphaned girl was taken into custody and returned to the capital to guard the mausoleum. The governor met a strange person while traveling.
In late autumn, in the bitter wind and rain, a group of trains drove hard on the muddy loess post road.The ancient Great Wall, which stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west along Yanshan Mountain, is covered in a curtain of mist-like haze. The old wall, which was darkened by the rain, and the jagged pheasants on the city stand majestically, and are sometimes slowly drifted by. Covered by clouds, and sometimes revealing its imposing majesty through the gaps in the clouds, I looked at the group of trains in silence.There are old and withered wattle trees all over the mountain, with three-pointed leaves shaped like palms on both sides, which are either orange, purple, yellow or red. Sometimes they sway in the rustling rain, sometimes their wet branches sway in the cool autumn wind.Occasionally, a gust of wind came from the mouth of the valley, rolling up the colorful leaves on the trees next to the post road, like injured butterflies being swept up by some invisible broom, and then weakly following the cool and heavy rain towards the guard network. The sergeant in the car was "smashed" on his body.Dozens of guard sergeants were all wearing new robes and coats, and rice-yellow coats. Their soaked cowhide boots made a strange sound when they stepped on the muddy road.It seems that they have all received strict training. Despite the weather and the mountainous roads, no one is leaning or stumbling.Five steps forward and backward, one person walks in a car, even his steps follow the same beat as if in a drill.Occasionally, someone would make a "gud-dong" sound and fall solidly into the muddy water, but they would all jump up and continue walking while holding the knife on their waist without looking away.
The person at the end of the train was Fan Shiyi, the commander-in-chief of Malingyu.This is a 45-year-old middle-aged man with a fair face and two flat unibrows that seem to have been drawn with a brush. Only the tips of his eyebrows are slightly raised, showing coldness and arrogance.The thick braids exposed outside the oil coat hang down to her waist, swinging slowly and dripping with water.He was a third-rank official in the imperial court, and according to the rules, he could sit in a large sedan chair. Perhaps he had an important escort mission, or perhaps he wanted to set an example for the soldiers he brought. Except for the jujube horse on which he sat, the other rain protection equipment was exactly the same as that of a soldier.He sat on the horse and stared into the distance, holding the cold hilt of the sword in his right hand, as if he was thinking about something, but he seemed to be thinking of nothing at all.
Suddenly, a flying horse came galloping on the road ahead. The muddy horse had just stood firm, and a Geshiha rolled off the saddle. He made a military salute to Fan Shiyi with his hands flat and said: "Fan Junmen, Dinghe River and The water rose at the mouth of the Sancha River near Kaoshan Town, and the stone bridge collapsed. Cars can't pass here, please let me know from the military!"
"If you are a soldier, you need to ask for instructions when you open a road in the mountains or build a bridge over water?" Fan Shiyi reined in his horse, stared at Geshiha, and said slowly, "Immediately contact the post station in Kaoshan Town. The Thirteenth Master is here today. We have already arrived there. This is his old man's mission, please pay attention!" "Thirteenth Master" is Prince Yi, the younger brother of the current Emperor Yongzheng. He is guarding a dozen such ordinary oil-walled vehicles, but he has to work hard for two days. Bai Yuli personally responded!Nagoshha was startled for a moment and said: "Yes! I know that I have an important errand. But just now I went to the river to take a look. The river was swollen too fiercely. The soldiers at the front station failed to build a bridge several times. I asked the military gate for instructions. , should we take a detour to the north and go from Shahedian? The bridge over there is well built..." Fan Shiyi was speechless for a moment, waved his hand and ordered the convoy to stop, and then said to Geshiha: "Let's go, take me there. have a look."
"twitter!"
So the two of them hit their horses and rode in a hurry. After walking for about five miles, they heard the roar of the rapids of the Dinghe River in the distance. After walking for another two miles, they saw the Dinghe River lying in front of them.Fan Shiyi's army was under the dual jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department and the Governor-General of Zhili. It was dedicated to guarding the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty. It was a soldier of the Malingyu Camp of the "Good Capture Camp" and a veritable "Forest Army".Although the troops are stationed in Zunhua, they have to go to Beijing to report on their duties almost every month. I don’t know how many times I have passed by here.He had never seen this docile and virginal river, with its bed covered with fragrant grasses and reeds, become so ferocious: in the pouring rain, the roaring flood seemed unable to withstand the squeeze of the rocky mountains on its banks, and burst through the narrow river channel in the southwest. It goes straight down against the wave, makes a steep turn in the triangular basin near Jinghe Bridge, and then turns down to the southeast.The flood water coming down from Beiyan Mountain was as turbid as gruel, and also entered the Dinghe River from this triangle. The two streams of water merged and clashed with each other, hitting waves more than ten feet high and chasing each other angrily in this large triangle pool.The rolling waves are like a pot of boiling water, swirling and rolling anxiously and irregularly, looking for an outlet to vent.The roaring of the river waves, the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, and the rolling sound of the underwater boulders all merged into chaos. Under the sky as dark as dusk, it looked extremely terrifying.More than a hundred soldiers stood exhausted on the shaking rock stairway, holding mallets, axes and other bridge-building tools in their hands. There were some sacks and cattail bags scattered on the shore road. It seemed that they had tried several times. Crossing the bridge, more than twenty bowl-sized wooden piles made of straw sticks floated on the water, sinking and floating.Fan Shiyi took a quick look and knew that his order to "build a bridge when encountering water" was definitely not feasible.He looked intently at the other side, which was only a stone's throw away, but it was covered in mist and couldn't see clearly. It seemed like someone was looking this way.Because he turned around and asked: "Who are the Thirteenth Master's people over there?" Seeing Nagoshha's confused face and knowing that he couldn't hear him, Fan Shiyi poked him with his riding crop, pointed to the other side, and looked at him with questioning eyes. Look at Ghoshhar.
"Ah!" Na Geshiha finally came to his senses and said loudly: "Junmen, those are the people from the Zhili Governor's Yamen. They have been here for an hour. They just couldn't build the bridge over there. They couldn't hear their shouts... "Just as he was talking, several red lights flashed on the opposite side, and it seemed that several rockets were launched. They were wetted by the rain about halfway, and most of them staggered and fell into the river. Only one rocket hit the shore.A soldier hurriedly picked it up, held it to Fan Shiyi with both hands, and said, "It's the arrow book sent over there." When Fan Shiyi took it and looked at it, he saw a bright yellow silk ribbon tied with an oil paper bag, and he knew it must be The handwriting of Prince Yi Yunxiang.When I unfolded it and covered it with my hand to read, I saw it read:
Order: Fan Shiyi does not need to build a bridge, but takes a detour to Shahedian and arrives at Taiping Town Station tomorrow evening.Don't order this.Prince Yi Yunxiang.The third day of October in the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign.
There is also a bright red cinnabar seal on the bottom, with the word "Yunxiang" in seal script.
Fan Shiyi put the order away in his sleeves, looked up at the increasingly dark sky, took a long breath, and said: "Use a rocket to reply to the letter, Fan Shiyi obeys the order. We will stay at the Shahe Inn tonight, please rest assured." ." After that, he turned the horse's head and returned to the original place. He ordered the convoy to turn north from the old post road, almost close to the foot of the Great Wall, and wind its way northward in the cold wind and freezing rain. It was not until dark that it arrived at Shahedian.
This is a small town located in the Yanshan Mountains, with Prince Peak in the east, Maiduo Mountain in the west, Pingchuan in the middle, and the Jinghe River running along the edge of the town.The surface of this river is wide, and the water stirs up the boulders at the bottom of the river, causing waves to fly. It looks wider than the other three rivers.It looks scary, but in fact the deepest part is only waist high.When Fan Shiyi arrived at the edge of the town, the first thing he did was to ask someone to see the bridge in the north of the town. He immediately heard that the bridge was intact, except that the recesses on both sides of the bridge had overflowed with two branches due to rising water. The water was no more than knee-deep. The train can pass through safely.Fan Shiyi immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel hungry. Looking at Shahedian Town in the rain, he hesitated for a moment: 43 eunuchs and maids were sitting on the carriage. They were originally serving the deposed king. The mausoleum belongs to the late emperor, General Wang Yun, who guarded the mausoleum behind closed doors and pondered over his mistakes. He made some mistakes and captured Xie Jing together.The prisoners were transported in oil-walled cars, and the escorting generals were soaked in the rain. It was a bit unorthodox, but this was actually the order from Yunxiang, the emperor's most favored minister: "Send them to Beijing secretly and leave them to my disposal without any grievance or blasphemy." Although Fan Shiyi found it unbelievable. , and had no choice but to act according to the instructions.But there is no inn in this town, the houses for the residents are difficult to secure, and there are more than a dozen palace maids. How should they live in isolation?Fan Shiyi dismounted, held his whip, and just pondered.The leader of the team, Geshiha, knew that he was in trouble, so he came over through the flood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, military gate. There is a Poguandi Temple in the west of the town, which has long since lost its incense. There are about [-] of us in total, so we have to live there. One night, stay safe and sound."
"Okay! You know something." A smile broke out on Fan Shiyi's face, "Thirty male prisoners, except Cai Huaixi and Qian Yundou, all live in Guandi Temple. Qiao Yindi and twelve female prisoners are looking for a spacious The inn was booked, and the officers and I guarded Cai, Qian and the female prisoners, while the soldiers guarded the male prisoners - they were all eunuchs. They didn't dare to escape and had no place to escape - and then they were divided into groups to take turns eating at the inn. Go! "So a group of people took their cars to the north of the town, and saw a Guandi Temple that had been in disrepair for many years, standing darkly in the night sky. Although more than a dozen temple rooms were dilapidated, and there were leaks everywhere, after all, some places were still dry.Fan Shiyi ordered the soldiers to remove the fence of the shrine and light a fire. He took off his official uniform, robe and boots, and put on a crimson jacket. He felt relaxed all over.When he saw the soldiers who had gone to the inn to book a room come back, he asked, "Has the mission been done?"
"Okay, it's at the old Shahe store." The soldier replied, "I was afraid of disturbing people, so I changed into plain clothes. It's a famous century-old store, with a restaurant in front and a guest room in the back, but there are already more than a dozen guests living there. . I said a lot of good things, but the boss refused to turn away the customer. He said that there is a rule in the world, if you enter the store, you will be the God of Wealth. So we can't book this store." Fan Shiyi said with a smile: "That's natural. Everyone wears their coats. We took off our clothes, took four cars over, and assigned twenty brothers to keep watch outside. We just wanted to keep it secret so that others would see that we were not following our orders." After that, he put on his oil coat and came out. By the time he saw that day, it had almost rained. After a while, there were only scattered, mist-like droplets of water on my face, giving me a slight coolness.
The owner of the store had already been waiting at the door. When he saw Fan Shiyi coming with people and cars, he hurriedly came up to greet him. His eyes narrowed with a smile, and he made way to the store and said: "Thank you for your hard work, old customers! Please arrange it inside. Ready-made guest rooms, ready-made hot water for washing up, and ready-made food and wine outside. When you come back, you don’t have to pay for the food and wine. It’s just a small thing to wash your hands for me. Let’s take a long-term view..." Trekking in the autumn rain and cold wind Fan Shiyi, who had been at home for a day, felt relieved by these warm words of greeting. He smiled and said: "We are all so hungry that our hearts are in front of us. Eat first, then talk about other things. There is no reason why we should not pay for the meal. If I don't, you still deduct it from my rent. What don't I know about your store's tricks? I also have a background as a store owner!" What he said made the boss laugh.Seeing the two men and a dozen women in the car looking haggard, they hurriedly greeted each other: "It's really hard to drive on this road today. Come in quickly - guys, let me warm the wine - Put the big copper pot on the fire, there are many men! Hey, there are many people downstairs, the three rooms upstairs are empty, only a few guests are there to order and drink, please come upstairs to dine." Fan Shiyi saw people. They all got out of the car, walked to the second car, and said warmly to a woman standing in front of the car: "Miss Qiao, we will be shooting here tonight, you, and -" He looked at his head The two middle-aged men who got out of the car said again: "Mr. Cai and Mr. Qian are both my bosses. They understand our difficulties in being servants and make do with each other. Let's go on our way smoothly tomorrow." If you go back later, the master will not be surprised."
The shop owner never expected that this dignified middle-aged man would be the "servant" in the car.But looking at the car, it wasn't really luxurious, and the "character" who got out didn't look very dignified either - he was really a little confused.Looking carefully, I saw that this girl Qiao was wearing a purple dark plaid Pegasus style fur buttoned waistcoat on the upper body, and an azurite Ningbo silk and gold piping embroidered skirt on the lower body, slightly revealing a pair of half-large feet.Her face is so pale that people dare not look at it. The middle of her two thin eyebrows is slightly frowned, and the tips of her eyebrows are lightly drooped. She looks bright and beautiful, and her small mouth is pursed and her lips are slightly raised, making her look very assertive. .The two middle-aged men following her, one short and thin, the other short and fat, both seemed a little bloated, and walked slowly into the store with dull expressions.There were also twelve girls dressed as maids, all with graceful looks but sad expressions, who entered one after another.As soon as they entered the store, they immediately attracted the attention of all the diners.
"Mr. Cai," Fan Shiyi looked away from the plain-clothes guards and said to the short and thin man walking in front, "Our seats are upstairs - Mr. Qian, please. The rest of the guys can enjoy themselves." With that said, he brought three or four Goshiha up the stairs without saying a word.
These are three wine rooms that have been opened up. The east and west walls are lined with screen partitions. It seems that the original seats separated by screens were temporarily removed.There was a table with about five or six people sitting in front of the southwest window facing the street, and they were having a drink. Everyone was drinking happily, and they were all a little tipsy. When they saw more than 20 people in their group, they didn't pay attention.Fan Shiyi and Qiao Yindi sat at the table near the northwest staircase. A few soldiers were at the table facing the window in the south. The other female guests sat down at the table not far from the group of guests. Everyone was silent. No one was there. While talking and watching the food come up, everyone eating with chopsticks, it was like a group of strangers getting together by chance.However, Cai Huaixi broke the silence and said to Fan Shiyi with a smile: "Old Fan, you know, if we go further, we won't be able to eat such good food. Thank you for taking care of us all the way. I have to go to the West to send Buddha, if you can get some Do you want wine?" When the bartender came up, Fan Shiyi ordered: "I will bring a jar of Sanhe Old Brew to my table, a bottle to the table in the south to accompany their meals, and a bottle to those dining downstairs - we will be on our way early tomorrow morning. , you can’t eat more, do you understand?”
"Yes!" the waiter sang loudly, "I'm serving wine to the old customers!" He hurriedly went downstairs.Arrangements were made in an instant. Fan Shiyi did not persuade him to drink, nor did he drink. He only picked up food for himself.Cai Huaixi and Qian Yundou were very unrestrained, drinking one cup at a time, while Qiao Yindi barely moved the chopsticks, just thinking about something in her mind, and Fan Shiyi did not dare to persuade her.Therefore, although this dinner was sumptuous, it was very dull.Gradually, the guests at the southwest table began to listen to the orders.
"Guessing riddles is too labor-intensive," said a fat man in his 30s by the window. "Mr. Jia always wins. I originally invited him to a drink, but it made us all drunk. When we change the drinking order, we have to say something first. A character, add another character to form another character, remove the radical and change the radical and still form the same character, add a proverb at the end and don’t go off topic-" A younger man next to him with a mustache said: "Shijiang, you are not drinking. It's hard to be a difficult person! Next to this word and that word, Luo Su is dead. Today, we work together to defeat this Jia Xianchang, and we will not be in vain for this host."
Fan Shiyi glanced over as he listened and saw a Taoist priest sitting next to Shi Jiang. He was not wearing Bagua clothes. He only had a bun on his head and a Leiyang scarf. He was only about 20 years old.I can't help but think to myself: This is the "Jia Xianchang". How many Taoist practices can such a young person have?After thinking about it, I heard Taoist Jia say: "I know what you mean. You just want me to drink more wine so that I can predict your destiny. In fact, the number of people's creation is inherent in it, and it cannot be changed if it is not great good or great evil. Just today. All these people in the restaurant have been killed by swords. Let me make it clear. What's the use of worrying about people for nothing? It's better to say, 'If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Don't ask what is right and wrong tomorrow.'"
"That being said, I still want to ask the immortal to give me a push." Shi Jiang said with a smile, "Since there's wine today, I'll ask Jia Shenxian to get drunk first - I'm giving the order!" road:
The word "good" originally means "good", and adding rice is also food.Take away the grain and rice, and add a daughter to become a mother - buy a field without buying grain, marry a daughter without marrying a mother.
After chanting, everyone clapped and cheered, and the mustache smiled and said: "Okay! I, Gan Fengchi, will also go to the sea today, listen to me -" Yin said loudly:
The word Qing originally means green, but adding water makes it clear.Remove the clear water, and care will become love - burning the paper horse shop will lead to human love.
After finishing speaking, he took a sip happily and said to a dark and thin scholar next to him: "Zeng Jing, you are a disciple of Master Lu of the East China Sea, it's up to you!" Zeng Jing said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? "Because he said:
The original character is Qi, and the dot is also Qi.If you remove the point next to Qi, if you add it, it will become a deception - a dragon will be tricked by shrimps when swimming in shallow water, and a tiger will be deceived by dogs when it falls in Pingyang!
Fan Shiyi, who was eating with Qiao Yindi, couldn't help but feel something in his heart.Suddenly I remembered that on the Double Ninth Festival, I led my troops into the Jingling Worship Hall. The famous general Wang Yun, the emperor's younger brother, was even unable to protect his beloved slave Qiao Yindi, and was taken away from him. I was not like that. A shrimp that plays with a dragon, or a dog that bullies a tiger?These words are so heartbreaking to hear.Fan Shiyi actually picked up the porridge and drank it slowly, and even Cai Qian and Cai Qian listened attentively.Fan Shiyi also wanted to see what skills this young "god" had. He opened his mouth and said nothing, just ate randomly and listened.But I saw Taoist Jia hitting the bowl with chopsticks and saying:
The character Xi is originally Xi, but if you add a dot, it is Xi.Remove the dots by the stream, add birds and it will become - you don't see the five doctors Baili Xi, the mountain wife breaks her heart and cooks her ambitions.Then he said: "With these drinking orders, you can't stop Jia Shifang. Next is Shi Donor's turn. What you want to say is written on the water sign over there. If there is a word mistake in what you say, I will be punished by eating a jar of wine!" "
"it is good!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.Fan Shiyi's dozens of people were having a dull meal. At this moment, even the soldiers, guards, and maids stopped eating and stared blankly at the table over there. Jia Shifang stood up slowly and swept towards everyone in the room. At a glance, when he saw Fan Shiyi's table, his eyes flashed, but he said nothing. He turned his back and picked up the pen on the pink card?Shang Ji wrote a few lines of something, turned over the sign, turned to Shi Jiang and smiled: "Please tell me and see if I am right."
Shi Jiang was stunned. Is there really such a magical skill in the world?He rolled his eyelids, searched his guts, and then said after a long while:
The word "xiang" is originally "xiang", and adding water also means "xiang".Except for the water on the border of Hunan, frost turns into frost when it rains - everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles!
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Shifang turned over the gouache card and said with a smile: "I wrote the word 'yi' into the word 'ye'. It seems that the road is not harmonious!" At this time, everyone was watching, everyone was staring. Looking at the three-foot-square sign, I saw that except for a slight discrepancy in one word in the middle, "Add water, it is also Xiang", the rest of the signs actually matched.Suddenly, even the people brought by Fan Shiyi were amazed, and the whole room was full of discussions.Several people in Shijiang stood up and said with a smile: "Although I guessed it correctly, you will be punished with a bottle of wine for every word you say wrong. Please enter the jar!" - There are two jars of Sanhe old mash placed on the ground, one of which has not yet been opened - When you open it, the bowl will be full.Jia Shifang didn't refuse, and waited to drink one bowl after another. In an instant, the altar was empty, and she was already blushing and tipsy. She said to Shi Jiang, who was asking for food, "Aren't you asking about fame? Just say one word, and I'll do it." Let me calculate it for you." Shi Jiang said: "I have already thought about it - you take a guess."
"It's the word 'Nai', right?"
"Yes." Shi Jiang said, "This word is difficult to separate."
"It's not difficult. The name you're asking about is missing the character 'ji', and you won't be able to achieve it for the rest of your life."
Zeng Jing, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "It's just a game. I'm a disciple of a saint, so I don't believe your tricks. I'll say the word 'ye', and you can play with it." "This is a word that will be used for life. Wu Ma You can't make a 'chip', and you can't make a 'pool' without water. Even though you have the 'strength', you can't 'walk' completely. The dragnet is set, and you have no way out!" Zeng Jing took a sip of wine and burst out laughing: "This is a bullshit. , you are so young and naughty - if you can tell me my family background, I will obey you!"
"You lost your father when you were three and your mother when you were seven." Jia Shifang looked at Zeng Jing. "My aunt adopted you and wanted to force you to learn business, but you fled back home. Your uncle wanted to take over your family property and kicked you out, almost Force you to commit suicide. Your aunt was close to your dead mother and couldn't bear the end of the Zeng family, so she used private money to finance your flight to Shandong and went to the East China Sea to find Lu Liuliang. You studied in Shandong and became a scholar. When Lu Liuliang died, you returned to Hunan to clean up the family business. , welcome my aunt, teach reading to make a living - is there even a single word wrong in what I said?"
Zeng Jing listened blankly at first, but after hearing it, her legs gave way and she sat back on the stool, her face turned ashen.He murmured: "You are not a human being, you are a ghost... I can't believe you if you are a saint other than Liuhe - you must have heard about my tragic history of Zeng Jing somewhere..." Jia Shifang smiled and said: "Of Liuhe It is not that the saint does not use ghosts and gods to preach. It is not that the saint does not understand. If there are hundreds of millions of temples in the world, if there is no spiritual sound, who will believe him?" After speaking, he turned his face to an officer at the table next to him who was stunned and said: "This brother, I have never asked about his 'tragic history', right? - He also lost his mother when he was seven years old. His stepmother was a bad stepmother. She instigated his father to expel him from the house and lived in Huguang and Jiangnan, and then moved to Henan and Shaanxi. , met a noble person and took him in, joined the army to fight, and accumulated meritorious service to the fifth rank - are you?"
"Yes!" The officer's face was filled with tears after being told by Jia Shifang. He forgot his identity and stood up and replied: "You are really a living god! My name is Huo Ying. I am from Sichuan. I really admire you! Sir, please specify, Is my father still alive?" Jia Shifang replied casually: "Your father died of illness three years after you ran away, and your stepmother took your stepmother's brother to marry another man. Don't cry, this is a bad fate, and you don't want to take revenge. Your stepmother married here. You have been tortured and beaten almost every day. As retribution, someone has already vented your anger on your behalf." After saying that, he turned to Zeng Jing and asked: "Are you convinced? Your suffering is still to come. If you are willing to join my Taoist school, you can become my disciple. , I will use the Five Elements Reversal Dafa to remove the haze and chaos for you, otherwise one day you will regret it beyond words!" Zeng Jing stared at the dim lights with drunken eyes, and murmured: "I'm afraid you are here to do something wrong. You can't subdue me yet. A gentleman knows his fate... He has a good heart, and even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets..."
Fan Shiyi saw that his people were gradually confused by this incomprehensible Taoist priest. They were all eager to ask him to predict their fortunes. Just as he was about to get up and lead people downstairs, Cai Huaixi beside him suddenly shouted: "That immortal leader is willing to surrender." Come over here and take a look at your complexion?" Jia Shifang looked up and drank from a bowl again, smiled and nodded calmly, and came across the table, giving instructions to the group of military academies one by one as he walked.
"Be kind-hearted. Two of your sons have died. Don't you know how to be vigilant?"
"The mountain facing your house is unfavorable. It's to the southwest. If you come to the south, your mother's illness will heal on its own..."
"A good man, it is easy to practice in Gongmen. If you are not blessed, you can see your sons and grandsons ascending the Dragon Gate."
"God brings blessings and disasters, and all my virtues have been destroyed by you. Those few boys you raised will one day take your life..."
...While talking along the way, Jia Shifang walked over and stood still behind Qian Yundou. However, she was silent for a moment, staring at everyone and sighing, as if she was overwhelmed with emotion.Fan Shiyi looked at him coldly, and then said for a long time: "The Taoist Canon is so vast that it is not just between the words and the tongue. You are restless, using your skills to enter the world, and confusing people. You have violated the power of God. If you don't restrain yourself, you may be in trouble. .”
"I learned Taoist Samadhi, and I was ordered by my teacher to go out to Longhu Mountain to help the world. To help the world is also to cultivate Taoism." Jia Shifang said with a smile, "There are 31 people in this restaurant, you all know each other, but there are no secrets from me. I don't I act against the will of God, and God has nothing to do with me. Look -" He said and flicked his fingers in the shape of an orchid. Five or six candles all over the building suddenly went out at the same time, and the upstairs suddenly became dark.People were shocked by the sudden reveal of his hand, and no one could speak. In the darkness, they heard Jia Shifang's voice, as if coming from a far away place: "Isn't it too dark? Today is October 26, at this time There shouldn't be a moon. I borrowed a piece of clear light to accompany your wine."
While everyone was stunned, the heavy clouds outside had dispersed into lotus clouds. A bright moon flashed hesitantly out of the transparent, pink lotus petals. The silvery light shone in from a bright window in the south, and the whole building was filled with warmth. Pleasant moonlight.
"Is this what the 'small road' can do?" Jia Shifang looked at the stunned Fan Shiyi opposite with satisfaction, and giggled, "This building was built for me, this rain was made for me, that river rose for me, and that bridge was made for me Collapse, this is a person, God's will is God's will, I just try my best." Fan Shiyi suppressed the panic in his heart, quietly pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, grunted, and said: "Are you from the White Lotus Sect? Although I am a military commander, I was born as a literary scholar. I have read history books since I was a child. Why don’t I know anything? If you reverse the yin and yang of the five elements, do you know Xu Hongru of the Ming Dynasty? Be honest, go back to your mountain, and cultivate your way. Otherwise, the three-foot king will be righteous. Designed for you!" Jia Shifang waved her hand, the lights were bright and the moon was dim again, and she bowed to Fan Mingyi and thanked her, "Your words are as right as my master's words, so I won't refute you, but I am indeed not Bailian. Teach. I am a close disciple of Lou Zhenren in Longhushan, Jiangxi Province. I came out of the mountain specifically to break away from the secular world. I do not violate laws and principles, and I do good deeds to help the world. Although your steel knife is fast, it is difficult to kill my innocent person - this gentleman, just now you Did you call me to take the blame for you?" He turned to Qian Yundou.
Qian Yundou and Cai Huaixi were both confused by the illusion he had just performed.Qian Yundou thought at this moment that he had lost his composure and recruited this Taoist priest, so he nodded and said: "If you don't tell lies in front of a real person, most of the people upstairs here are imperial prisoners. How good or bad is this trip to the capital?"
Gan Fengchi, Zeng Jingshijiang's table guests, were originally puzzled by the sudden arrival of this group of male and female guests, who were sitting all over the building, but they were silent and eating their meals. Only then did they understand that it turned out to be the people who were sent to the capital to avenge their crimes and receive punishment. Imprisoned!
(End of this chapter)
In late autumn, in the bitter wind and rain, a group of trains drove hard on the muddy loess post road.The ancient Great Wall, which stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west along Yanshan Mountain, is covered in a curtain of mist-like haze. The old wall, which was darkened by the rain, and the jagged pheasants on the city stand majestically, and are sometimes slowly drifted by. Covered by clouds, and sometimes revealing its imposing majesty through the gaps in the clouds, I looked at the group of trains in silence.There are old and withered wattle trees all over the mountain, with three-pointed leaves shaped like palms on both sides, which are either orange, purple, yellow or red. Sometimes they sway in the rustling rain, sometimes their wet branches sway in the cool autumn wind.Occasionally, a gust of wind came from the mouth of the valley, rolling up the colorful leaves on the trees next to the post road, like injured butterflies being swept up by some invisible broom, and then weakly following the cool and heavy rain towards the guard network. The sergeant in the car was "smashed" on his body.Dozens of guard sergeants were all wearing new robes and coats, and rice-yellow coats. Their soaked cowhide boots made a strange sound when they stepped on the muddy road.It seems that they have all received strict training. Despite the weather and the mountainous roads, no one is leaning or stumbling.Five steps forward and backward, one person walks in a car, even his steps follow the same beat as if in a drill.Occasionally, someone would make a "gud-dong" sound and fall solidly into the muddy water, but they would all jump up and continue walking while holding the knife on their waist without looking away.
The person at the end of the train was Fan Shiyi, the commander-in-chief of Malingyu.This is a 45-year-old middle-aged man with a fair face and two flat unibrows that seem to have been drawn with a brush. Only the tips of his eyebrows are slightly raised, showing coldness and arrogance.The thick braids exposed outside the oil coat hang down to her waist, swinging slowly and dripping with water.He was a third-rank official in the imperial court, and according to the rules, he could sit in a large sedan chair. Perhaps he had an important escort mission, or perhaps he wanted to set an example for the soldiers he brought. Except for the jujube horse on which he sat, the other rain protection equipment was exactly the same as that of a soldier.He sat on the horse and stared into the distance, holding the cold hilt of the sword in his right hand, as if he was thinking about something, but he seemed to be thinking of nothing at all.
Suddenly, a flying horse came galloping on the road ahead. The muddy horse had just stood firm, and a Geshiha rolled off the saddle. He made a military salute to Fan Shiyi with his hands flat and said: "Fan Junmen, Dinghe River and The water rose at the mouth of the Sancha River near Kaoshan Town, and the stone bridge collapsed. Cars can't pass here, please let me know from the military!"
"If you are a soldier, you need to ask for instructions when you open a road in the mountains or build a bridge over water?" Fan Shiyi reined in his horse, stared at Geshiha, and said slowly, "Immediately contact the post station in Kaoshan Town. The Thirteenth Master is here today. We have already arrived there. This is his old man's mission, please pay attention!" "Thirteenth Master" is Prince Yi, the younger brother of the current Emperor Yongzheng. He is guarding a dozen such ordinary oil-walled vehicles, but he has to work hard for two days. Bai Yuli personally responded!Nagoshha was startled for a moment and said: "Yes! I know that I have an important errand. But just now I went to the river to take a look. The river was swollen too fiercely. The soldiers at the front station failed to build a bridge several times. I asked the military gate for instructions. , should we take a detour to the north and go from Shahedian? The bridge over there is well built..." Fan Shiyi was speechless for a moment, waved his hand and ordered the convoy to stop, and then said to Geshiha: "Let's go, take me there. have a look."
"twitter!"
So the two of them hit their horses and rode in a hurry. After walking for about five miles, they heard the roar of the rapids of the Dinghe River in the distance. After walking for another two miles, they saw the Dinghe River lying in front of them.Fan Shiyi's army was under the dual jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department and the Governor-General of Zhili. It was dedicated to guarding the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty. It was a soldier of the Malingyu Camp of the "Good Capture Camp" and a veritable "Forest Army".Although the troops are stationed in Zunhua, they have to go to Beijing to report on their duties almost every month. I don’t know how many times I have passed by here.He had never seen this docile and virginal river, with its bed covered with fragrant grasses and reeds, become so ferocious: in the pouring rain, the roaring flood seemed unable to withstand the squeeze of the rocky mountains on its banks, and burst through the narrow river channel in the southwest. It goes straight down against the wave, makes a steep turn in the triangular basin near Jinghe Bridge, and then turns down to the southeast.The flood water coming down from Beiyan Mountain was as turbid as gruel, and also entered the Dinghe River from this triangle. The two streams of water merged and clashed with each other, hitting waves more than ten feet high and chasing each other angrily in this large triangle pool.The rolling waves are like a pot of boiling water, swirling and rolling anxiously and irregularly, looking for an outlet to vent.The roaring of the river waves, the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, and the rolling sound of the underwater boulders all merged into chaos. Under the sky as dark as dusk, it looked extremely terrifying.More than a hundred soldiers stood exhausted on the shaking rock stairway, holding mallets, axes and other bridge-building tools in their hands. There were some sacks and cattail bags scattered on the shore road. It seemed that they had tried several times. Crossing the bridge, more than twenty bowl-sized wooden piles made of straw sticks floated on the water, sinking and floating.Fan Shiyi took a quick look and knew that his order to "build a bridge when encountering water" was definitely not feasible.He looked intently at the other side, which was only a stone's throw away, but it was covered in mist and couldn't see clearly. It seemed like someone was looking this way.Because he turned around and asked: "Who are the Thirteenth Master's people over there?" Seeing Nagoshha's confused face and knowing that he couldn't hear him, Fan Shiyi poked him with his riding crop, pointed to the other side, and looked at him with questioning eyes. Look at Ghoshhar.
"Ah!" Na Geshiha finally came to his senses and said loudly: "Junmen, those are the people from the Zhili Governor's Yamen. They have been here for an hour. They just couldn't build the bridge over there. They couldn't hear their shouts... "Just as he was talking, several red lights flashed on the opposite side, and it seemed that several rockets were launched. They were wetted by the rain about halfway, and most of them staggered and fell into the river. Only one rocket hit the shore.A soldier hurriedly picked it up, held it to Fan Shiyi with both hands, and said, "It's the arrow book sent over there." When Fan Shiyi took it and looked at it, he saw a bright yellow silk ribbon tied with an oil paper bag, and he knew it must be The handwriting of Prince Yi Yunxiang.When I unfolded it and covered it with my hand to read, I saw it read:
Order: Fan Shiyi does not need to build a bridge, but takes a detour to Shahedian and arrives at Taiping Town Station tomorrow evening.Don't order this.Prince Yi Yunxiang.The third day of October in the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign.
There is also a bright red cinnabar seal on the bottom, with the word "Yunxiang" in seal script.
Fan Shiyi put the order away in his sleeves, looked up at the increasingly dark sky, took a long breath, and said: "Use a rocket to reply to the letter, Fan Shiyi obeys the order. We will stay at the Shahe Inn tonight, please rest assured." ." After that, he turned the horse's head and returned to the original place. He ordered the convoy to turn north from the old post road, almost close to the foot of the Great Wall, and wind its way northward in the cold wind and freezing rain. It was not until dark that it arrived at Shahedian.
This is a small town located in the Yanshan Mountains, with Prince Peak in the east, Maiduo Mountain in the west, Pingchuan in the middle, and the Jinghe River running along the edge of the town.The surface of this river is wide, and the water stirs up the boulders at the bottom of the river, causing waves to fly. It looks wider than the other three rivers.It looks scary, but in fact the deepest part is only waist high.When Fan Shiyi arrived at the edge of the town, the first thing he did was to ask someone to see the bridge in the north of the town. He immediately heard that the bridge was intact, except that the recesses on both sides of the bridge had overflowed with two branches due to rising water. The water was no more than knee-deep. The train can pass through safely.Fan Shiyi immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel hungry. Looking at Shahedian Town in the rain, he hesitated for a moment: 43 eunuchs and maids were sitting on the carriage. They were originally serving the deposed king. The mausoleum belongs to the late emperor, General Wang Yun, who guarded the mausoleum behind closed doors and pondered over his mistakes. He made some mistakes and captured Xie Jing together.The prisoners were transported in oil-walled cars, and the escorting generals were soaked in the rain. It was a bit unorthodox, but this was actually the order from Yunxiang, the emperor's most favored minister: "Send them to Beijing secretly and leave them to my disposal without any grievance or blasphemy." Although Fan Shiyi found it unbelievable. , and had no choice but to act according to the instructions.But there is no inn in this town, the houses for the residents are difficult to secure, and there are more than a dozen palace maids. How should they live in isolation?Fan Shiyi dismounted, held his whip, and just pondered.The leader of the team, Geshiha, knew that he was in trouble, so he came over through the flood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, military gate. There is a Poguandi Temple in the west of the town, which has long since lost its incense. There are about [-] of us in total, so we have to live there. One night, stay safe and sound."
"Okay! You know something." A smile broke out on Fan Shiyi's face, "Thirty male prisoners, except Cai Huaixi and Qian Yundou, all live in Guandi Temple. Qiao Yindi and twelve female prisoners are looking for a spacious The inn was booked, and the officers and I guarded Cai, Qian and the female prisoners, while the soldiers guarded the male prisoners - they were all eunuchs. They didn't dare to escape and had no place to escape - and then they were divided into groups to take turns eating at the inn. Go! "So a group of people took their cars to the north of the town, and saw a Guandi Temple that had been in disrepair for many years, standing darkly in the night sky. Although more than a dozen temple rooms were dilapidated, and there were leaks everywhere, after all, some places were still dry.Fan Shiyi ordered the soldiers to remove the fence of the shrine and light a fire. He took off his official uniform, robe and boots, and put on a crimson jacket. He felt relaxed all over.When he saw the soldiers who had gone to the inn to book a room come back, he asked, "Has the mission been done?"
"Okay, it's at the old Shahe store." The soldier replied, "I was afraid of disturbing people, so I changed into plain clothes. It's a famous century-old store, with a restaurant in front and a guest room in the back, but there are already more than a dozen guests living there. . I said a lot of good things, but the boss refused to turn away the customer. He said that there is a rule in the world, if you enter the store, you will be the God of Wealth. So we can't book this store." Fan Shiyi said with a smile: "That's natural. Everyone wears their coats. We took off our clothes, took four cars over, and assigned twenty brothers to keep watch outside. We just wanted to keep it secret so that others would see that we were not following our orders." After that, he put on his oil coat and came out. By the time he saw that day, it had almost rained. After a while, there were only scattered, mist-like droplets of water on my face, giving me a slight coolness.
The owner of the store had already been waiting at the door. When he saw Fan Shiyi coming with people and cars, he hurriedly came up to greet him. His eyes narrowed with a smile, and he made way to the store and said: "Thank you for your hard work, old customers! Please arrange it inside. Ready-made guest rooms, ready-made hot water for washing up, and ready-made food and wine outside. When you come back, you don’t have to pay for the food and wine. It’s just a small thing to wash your hands for me. Let’s take a long-term view..." Trekking in the autumn rain and cold wind Fan Shiyi, who had been at home for a day, felt relieved by these warm words of greeting. He smiled and said: "We are all so hungry that our hearts are in front of us. Eat first, then talk about other things. There is no reason why we should not pay for the meal. If I don't, you still deduct it from my rent. What don't I know about your store's tricks? I also have a background as a store owner!" What he said made the boss laugh.Seeing the two men and a dozen women in the car looking haggard, they hurriedly greeted each other: "It's really hard to drive on this road today. Come in quickly - guys, let me warm the wine - Put the big copper pot on the fire, there are many men! Hey, there are many people downstairs, the three rooms upstairs are empty, only a few guests are there to order and drink, please come upstairs to dine." Fan Shiyi saw people. They all got out of the car, walked to the second car, and said warmly to a woman standing in front of the car: "Miss Qiao, we will be shooting here tonight, you, and -" He looked at his head The two middle-aged men who got out of the car said again: "Mr. Cai and Mr. Qian are both my bosses. They understand our difficulties in being servants and make do with each other. Let's go on our way smoothly tomorrow." If you go back later, the master will not be surprised."
The shop owner never expected that this dignified middle-aged man would be the "servant" in the car.But looking at the car, it wasn't really luxurious, and the "character" who got out didn't look very dignified either - he was really a little confused.Looking carefully, I saw that this girl Qiao was wearing a purple dark plaid Pegasus style fur buttoned waistcoat on the upper body, and an azurite Ningbo silk and gold piping embroidered skirt on the lower body, slightly revealing a pair of half-large feet.Her face is so pale that people dare not look at it. The middle of her two thin eyebrows is slightly frowned, and the tips of her eyebrows are lightly drooped. She looks bright and beautiful, and her small mouth is pursed and her lips are slightly raised, making her look very assertive. .The two middle-aged men following her, one short and thin, the other short and fat, both seemed a little bloated, and walked slowly into the store with dull expressions.There were also twelve girls dressed as maids, all with graceful looks but sad expressions, who entered one after another.As soon as they entered the store, they immediately attracted the attention of all the diners.
"Mr. Cai," Fan Shiyi looked away from the plain-clothes guards and said to the short and thin man walking in front, "Our seats are upstairs - Mr. Qian, please. The rest of the guys can enjoy themselves." With that said, he brought three or four Goshiha up the stairs without saying a word.
These are three wine rooms that have been opened up. The east and west walls are lined with screen partitions. It seems that the original seats separated by screens were temporarily removed.There was a table with about five or six people sitting in front of the southwest window facing the street, and they were having a drink. Everyone was drinking happily, and they were all a little tipsy. When they saw more than 20 people in their group, they didn't pay attention.Fan Shiyi and Qiao Yindi sat at the table near the northwest staircase. A few soldiers were at the table facing the window in the south. The other female guests sat down at the table not far from the group of guests. Everyone was silent. No one was there. While talking and watching the food come up, everyone eating with chopsticks, it was like a group of strangers getting together by chance.However, Cai Huaixi broke the silence and said to Fan Shiyi with a smile: "Old Fan, you know, if we go further, we won't be able to eat such good food. Thank you for taking care of us all the way. I have to go to the West to send Buddha, if you can get some Do you want wine?" When the bartender came up, Fan Shiyi ordered: "I will bring a jar of Sanhe Old Brew to my table, a bottle to the table in the south to accompany their meals, and a bottle to those dining downstairs - we will be on our way early tomorrow morning. , you can’t eat more, do you understand?”
"Yes!" the waiter sang loudly, "I'm serving wine to the old customers!" He hurriedly went downstairs.Arrangements were made in an instant. Fan Shiyi did not persuade him to drink, nor did he drink. He only picked up food for himself.Cai Huaixi and Qian Yundou were very unrestrained, drinking one cup at a time, while Qiao Yindi barely moved the chopsticks, just thinking about something in her mind, and Fan Shiyi did not dare to persuade her.Therefore, although this dinner was sumptuous, it was very dull.Gradually, the guests at the southwest table began to listen to the orders.
"Guessing riddles is too labor-intensive," said a fat man in his 30s by the window. "Mr. Jia always wins. I originally invited him to a drink, but it made us all drunk. When we change the drinking order, we have to say something first. A character, add another character to form another character, remove the radical and change the radical and still form the same character, add a proverb at the end and don’t go off topic-" A younger man next to him with a mustache said: "Shijiang, you are not drinking. It's hard to be a difficult person! Next to this word and that word, Luo Su is dead. Today, we work together to defeat this Jia Xianchang, and we will not be in vain for this host."
Fan Shiyi glanced over as he listened and saw a Taoist priest sitting next to Shi Jiang. He was not wearing Bagua clothes. He only had a bun on his head and a Leiyang scarf. He was only about 20 years old.I can't help but think to myself: This is the "Jia Xianchang". How many Taoist practices can such a young person have?After thinking about it, I heard Taoist Jia say: "I know what you mean. You just want me to drink more wine so that I can predict your destiny. In fact, the number of people's creation is inherent in it, and it cannot be changed if it is not great good or great evil. Just today. All these people in the restaurant have been killed by swords. Let me make it clear. What's the use of worrying about people for nothing? It's better to say, 'If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Don't ask what is right and wrong tomorrow.'"
"That being said, I still want to ask the immortal to give me a push." Shi Jiang said with a smile, "Since there's wine today, I'll ask Jia Shenxian to get drunk first - I'm giving the order!" road:
The word "good" originally means "good", and adding rice is also food.Take away the grain and rice, and add a daughter to become a mother - buy a field without buying grain, marry a daughter without marrying a mother.
After chanting, everyone clapped and cheered, and the mustache smiled and said: "Okay! I, Gan Fengchi, will also go to the sea today, listen to me -" Yin said loudly:
The word Qing originally means green, but adding water makes it clear.Remove the clear water, and care will become love - burning the paper horse shop will lead to human love.
After finishing speaking, he took a sip happily and said to a dark and thin scholar next to him: "Zeng Jing, you are a disciple of Master Lu of the East China Sea, it's up to you!" Zeng Jing said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? "Because he said:
The original character is Qi, and the dot is also Qi.If you remove the point next to Qi, if you add it, it will become a deception - a dragon will be tricked by shrimps when swimming in shallow water, and a tiger will be deceived by dogs when it falls in Pingyang!
Fan Shiyi, who was eating with Qiao Yindi, couldn't help but feel something in his heart.Suddenly I remembered that on the Double Ninth Festival, I led my troops into the Jingling Worship Hall. The famous general Wang Yun, the emperor's younger brother, was even unable to protect his beloved slave Qiao Yindi, and was taken away from him. I was not like that. A shrimp that plays with a dragon, or a dog that bullies a tiger?These words are so heartbreaking to hear.Fan Shiyi actually picked up the porridge and drank it slowly, and even Cai Qian and Cai Qian listened attentively.Fan Shiyi also wanted to see what skills this young "god" had. He opened his mouth and said nothing, just ate randomly and listened.But I saw Taoist Jia hitting the bowl with chopsticks and saying:
The character Xi is originally Xi, but if you add a dot, it is Xi.Remove the dots by the stream, add birds and it will become - you don't see the five doctors Baili Xi, the mountain wife breaks her heart and cooks her ambitions.Then he said: "With these drinking orders, you can't stop Jia Shifang. Next is Shi Donor's turn. What you want to say is written on the water sign over there. If there is a word mistake in what you say, I will be punished by eating a jar of wine!" "
"it is good!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.Fan Shiyi's dozens of people were having a dull meal. At this moment, even the soldiers, guards, and maids stopped eating and stared blankly at the table over there. Jia Shifang stood up slowly and swept towards everyone in the room. At a glance, when he saw Fan Shiyi's table, his eyes flashed, but he said nothing. He turned his back and picked up the pen on the pink card?Shang Ji wrote a few lines of something, turned over the sign, turned to Shi Jiang and smiled: "Please tell me and see if I am right."
Shi Jiang was stunned. Is there really such a magical skill in the world?He rolled his eyelids, searched his guts, and then said after a long while:
The word "xiang" is originally "xiang", and adding water also means "xiang".Except for the water on the border of Hunan, frost turns into frost when it rains - everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles!
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Shifang turned over the gouache card and said with a smile: "I wrote the word 'yi' into the word 'ye'. It seems that the road is not harmonious!" At this time, everyone was watching, everyone was staring. Looking at the three-foot-square sign, I saw that except for a slight discrepancy in one word in the middle, "Add water, it is also Xiang", the rest of the signs actually matched.Suddenly, even the people brought by Fan Shiyi were amazed, and the whole room was full of discussions.Several people in Shijiang stood up and said with a smile: "Although I guessed it correctly, you will be punished with a bottle of wine for every word you say wrong. Please enter the jar!" - There are two jars of Sanhe old mash placed on the ground, one of which has not yet been opened - When you open it, the bowl will be full.Jia Shifang didn't refuse, and waited to drink one bowl after another. In an instant, the altar was empty, and she was already blushing and tipsy. She said to Shi Jiang, who was asking for food, "Aren't you asking about fame? Just say one word, and I'll do it." Let me calculate it for you." Shi Jiang said: "I have already thought about it - you take a guess."
"It's the word 'Nai', right?"
"Yes." Shi Jiang said, "This word is difficult to separate."
"It's not difficult. The name you're asking about is missing the character 'ji', and you won't be able to achieve it for the rest of your life."
Zeng Jing, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "It's just a game. I'm a disciple of a saint, so I don't believe your tricks. I'll say the word 'ye', and you can play with it." "This is a word that will be used for life. Wu Ma You can't make a 'chip', and you can't make a 'pool' without water. Even though you have the 'strength', you can't 'walk' completely. The dragnet is set, and you have no way out!" Zeng Jing took a sip of wine and burst out laughing: "This is a bullshit. , you are so young and naughty - if you can tell me my family background, I will obey you!"
"You lost your father when you were three and your mother when you were seven." Jia Shifang looked at Zeng Jing. "My aunt adopted you and wanted to force you to learn business, but you fled back home. Your uncle wanted to take over your family property and kicked you out, almost Force you to commit suicide. Your aunt was close to your dead mother and couldn't bear the end of the Zeng family, so she used private money to finance your flight to Shandong and went to the East China Sea to find Lu Liuliang. You studied in Shandong and became a scholar. When Lu Liuliang died, you returned to Hunan to clean up the family business. , welcome my aunt, teach reading to make a living - is there even a single word wrong in what I said?"
Zeng Jing listened blankly at first, but after hearing it, her legs gave way and she sat back on the stool, her face turned ashen.He murmured: "You are not a human being, you are a ghost... I can't believe you if you are a saint other than Liuhe - you must have heard about my tragic history of Zeng Jing somewhere..." Jia Shifang smiled and said: "Of Liuhe It is not that the saint does not use ghosts and gods to preach. It is not that the saint does not understand. If there are hundreds of millions of temples in the world, if there is no spiritual sound, who will believe him?" After speaking, he turned his face to an officer at the table next to him who was stunned and said: "This brother, I have never asked about his 'tragic history', right? - He also lost his mother when he was seven years old. His stepmother was a bad stepmother. She instigated his father to expel him from the house and lived in Huguang and Jiangnan, and then moved to Henan and Shaanxi. , met a noble person and took him in, joined the army to fight, and accumulated meritorious service to the fifth rank - are you?"
"Yes!" The officer's face was filled with tears after being told by Jia Shifang. He forgot his identity and stood up and replied: "You are really a living god! My name is Huo Ying. I am from Sichuan. I really admire you! Sir, please specify, Is my father still alive?" Jia Shifang replied casually: "Your father died of illness three years after you ran away, and your stepmother took your stepmother's brother to marry another man. Don't cry, this is a bad fate, and you don't want to take revenge. Your stepmother married here. You have been tortured and beaten almost every day. As retribution, someone has already vented your anger on your behalf." After saying that, he turned to Zeng Jing and asked: "Are you convinced? Your suffering is still to come. If you are willing to join my Taoist school, you can become my disciple. , I will use the Five Elements Reversal Dafa to remove the haze and chaos for you, otherwise one day you will regret it beyond words!" Zeng Jing stared at the dim lights with drunken eyes, and murmured: "I'm afraid you are here to do something wrong. You can't subdue me yet. A gentleman knows his fate... He has a good heart, and even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets..."
Fan Shiyi saw that his people were gradually confused by this incomprehensible Taoist priest. They were all eager to ask him to predict their fortunes. Just as he was about to get up and lead people downstairs, Cai Huaixi beside him suddenly shouted: "That immortal leader is willing to surrender." Come over here and take a look at your complexion?" Jia Shifang looked up and drank from a bowl again, smiled and nodded calmly, and came across the table, giving instructions to the group of military academies one by one as he walked.
"Be kind-hearted. Two of your sons have died. Don't you know how to be vigilant?"
"The mountain facing your house is unfavorable. It's to the southwest. If you come to the south, your mother's illness will heal on its own..."
"A good man, it is easy to practice in Gongmen. If you are not blessed, you can see your sons and grandsons ascending the Dragon Gate."
"God brings blessings and disasters, and all my virtues have been destroyed by you. Those few boys you raised will one day take your life..."
...While talking along the way, Jia Shifang walked over and stood still behind Qian Yundou. However, she was silent for a moment, staring at everyone and sighing, as if she was overwhelmed with emotion.Fan Shiyi looked at him coldly, and then said for a long time: "The Taoist Canon is so vast that it is not just between the words and the tongue. You are restless, using your skills to enter the world, and confusing people. You have violated the power of God. If you don't restrain yourself, you may be in trouble. .”
"I learned Taoist Samadhi, and I was ordered by my teacher to go out to Longhu Mountain to help the world. To help the world is also to cultivate Taoism." Jia Shifang said with a smile, "There are 31 people in this restaurant, you all know each other, but there are no secrets from me. I don't I act against the will of God, and God has nothing to do with me. Look -" He said and flicked his fingers in the shape of an orchid. Five or six candles all over the building suddenly went out at the same time, and the upstairs suddenly became dark.People were shocked by the sudden reveal of his hand, and no one could speak. In the darkness, they heard Jia Shifang's voice, as if coming from a far away place: "Isn't it too dark? Today is October 26, at this time There shouldn't be a moon. I borrowed a piece of clear light to accompany your wine."
While everyone was stunned, the heavy clouds outside had dispersed into lotus clouds. A bright moon flashed hesitantly out of the transparent, pink lotus petals. The silvery light shone in from a bright window in the south, and the whole building was filled with warmth. Pleasant moonlight.
"Is this what the 'small road' can do?" Jia Shifang looked at the stunned Fan Shiyi opposite with satisfaction, and giggled, "This building was built for me, this rain was made for me, that river rose for me, and that bridge was made for me Collapse, this is a person, God's will is God's will, I just try my best." Fan Shiyi suppressed the panic in his heart, quietly pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, grunted, and said: "Are you from the White Lotus Sect? Although I am a military commander, I was born as a literary scholar. I have read history books since I was a child. Why don’t I know anything? If you reverse the yin and yang of the five elements, do you know Xu Hongru of the Ming Dynasty? Be honest, go back to your mountain, and cultivate your way. Otherwise, the three-foot king will be righteous. Designed for you!" Jia Shifang waved her hand, the lights were bright and the moon was dim again, and she bowed to Fan Mingyi and thanked her, "Your words are as right as my master's words, so I won't refute you, but I am indeed not Bailian. Teach. I am a close disciple of Lou Zhenren in Longhushan, Jiangxi Province. I came out of the mountain specifically to break away from the secular world. I do not violate laws and principles, and I do good deeds to help the world. Although your steel knife is fast, it is difficult to kill my innocent person - this gentleman, just now you Did you call me to take the blame for you?" He turned to Qian Yundou.
Qian Yundou and Cai Huaixi were both confused by the illusion he had just performed.Qian Yundou thought at this moment that he had lost his composure and recruited this Taoist priest, so he nodded and said: "If you don't tell lies in front of a real person, most of the people upstairs here are imperial prisoners. How good or bad is this trip to the capital?"
Gan Fengchi, Zeng Jingshijiang's table guests, were originally puzzled by the sudden arrival of this group of male and female guests, who were sitting all over the building, but they were silent and eating their meals. Only then did they understand that it turned out to be the people who were sent to the capital to avenge their crimes and receive punishment. Imprisoned!
