My years as a fortune teller

As soon as a group of people came to the top of the mountain, they saw an old Taoist with white beard and hair, holding a cane made of a dead tree trunk, wearing a Taoist robe, and standing there looking up at him with a pair of ten square shoes on his feet.

When Wu Huazi saw it, he was shocked.How come it's only been three years since they separated, and Taoist Prince Ping has aged like this.Judging from the time, the age difference between the two would not exceed 20 years, not to mention that Prince Pingdao is also a master of Taoism, how could he have aged like this in three years.Could it be...

Daoist Wu Huazi didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly ran towards Prince Pingdao in three steps at a time.Wang Ziping saw Taoist Wu Huazi running towards him, threw the dead wood crutches in his hand, and walked towards Taoist Wu Huazi with open arms. Perhaps because his body was too weak, he fell forward before taking two steps.

Daoist Wu Huazi took a look, and took a few strides forward to support Daoist Wang Ziping: "I haven't seen you for three years, how did Daoist brother age like this? Why can't you even walk?"

Daoist Wang Ziping smiled wryly and said: "A year ago, the old injury recurred, and it was good and sometimes bad. Who would have thought that at the beginning of the year, during the meditation practice, the vitality leaked out somehow, and if you didn't pay attention, the energy went astray, and it became what it is now. .”

Upon hearing this, Taoist Wu Huazi hurriedly felt Wang Ziping's pulse.I don't know if I touch it, but when I touch it, Daoist Wu Huazi jumps.The pulse is dull, and the true energy is wandering.

Daoist Wu Huazi was shocked, this is not a wrong way of anger, this is a typical trick.The Daoist didn't explain, but said loudly: "Brother Dao, you are too careless. Fortunately, when I came this time, a senior gave me a few Jiuzhen pills, which are good medicine for the treatment of my true energy. Let's go, I'll heal your wounds." As he spoke, he supported Taoist priest Wang Ziping and walked towards the Taoist priest's practice place.

Daoist Wu Huazi supported Wang Ziping to sit down, and said to Kong Wu and Kong Zhi: "You two come over soon to see Brother Wang."

Kongwu Kongzhi immediately came forward to greet Prince Ping and Daoist Priest.Daoist Prince Ping staggered to stand up and return the salute to the two juniors, but he couldn't stand up no matter what.

Daoist Wu Huazi waved his hand, and said to Kongzhi, "Bring me the Jiuzhen Pill that I received from Sanyang Immortal at Luofu Mountain last time."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Wang Ziping hurriedly grabbed the hand of Daoist Wu Huazi and said, "Brother Dao actually met Sanyang Daoist, God bless Daoist brother. Poverty has visited Sanyang Daoist three times, but he has never had the chance to meet him."

Daoist Wu Huazi took the pill and said: "It is also a coincidence that the poor Taoist met the real Sanyang, and he was given these nine Jiuzhen pills. They are really protected by the ancestors, and the gods are merciful." Give the red pill to Prince Pingdao.

Daoist Wang Ziping was about to say something when he heard Daoist Wu Huazi say: "Brother Dao, quickly take the medicine, and take care of your luck. The poor Taoist will protect you." Sitting cross-legged opposite Prince Pingdao.

Kong Wu asked Hu Zhiping to help his senior brother Kong Zhi boil water, and at the same time took Li Keren to collect firewood.When it comes to collecting firewood, everyone knows that Kong Wu definitely wanted to see the surrounding environment, so no one raised any objections.

Kong Wu took Li Keren to a secluded place, and quietly asked Li Keren what happened in the past three years.How did Wang Ziping become like this?

Li Keren thought for a while and told Kong Wu that one day two years ago, the Tianzun who was brought back by Hu Zhiping died, and Prince Ping Daochang performed rituals for him for three days out of the compassion of a monk.

However, when preparing for burial on the third day, it was discovered that the body was only covered with skeletons.All the flesh was gone from the corpse.

After checking the entire body, there was no wound, only some unburned ashes on the back.What is even more strange is that the head accidentally fell from the corpse while examining the corpse.

It can be seen that the head was cut off from the neck, and the entire brain was missing.In other words, the head that fell from the corpse was just an empty shell covered with a layer of skin.

Seeing this situation, Taoist Prince Ping thought that he and his two apprentices had been guarding the corpse for the past three days, basically not leaving.Therefore, at that time, Prince Ping Taoist priest identified this as the result of practicing sorcery, and he was buried hastily without careful investigation.

At the beginning of this year, Taoist Prince Ping said that when Taoist Wu Huazi came to testify, he would choose one of the two brothers to be the future head.That night, when the Taoist priest was meditating and practicing, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of thick blood and passed out. After waking up, he slowly became what he is now.

Kong Wu was also taken aback when he heard it, but he couldn't explain what was going on.He didn't say much, just pulled Li Keren around and went back.

Back at the residence, the two priests were still practicing.So several young people were chatting while cooking.Waiting for the practice of the Taoist masters to end.

Kong Wu took some firewood, and when he was about to put it in the stove, he suddenly found that there was a strange-looking thing stuck in the middle of the fire.Kong Wu poked it with firewood and found that the thing seemed to be metal, and it was firmly inserted in it.Seeing this and thinking about Prince Ping's injury, Li Keren seemed to know something.But because he didn't know who made it, he kept silent...

It was just getting dark, and Taoist priest Wang Ziping and Taoist priest Wu Huazi both opened their eyes.I saw Prince Pingdao's face was ruddy, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes.Daoist Wu Huazi looked at him and nodded, "Brother Daoist, do you think it's better than before?"

Taoist Master Wang Ziping stood up slowly and said: "Thank you brother Dao for giving the elixir first and protecting the pass for the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist is so grateful, I will bow to the poor Taoist with my own hands."

Taoist Wu Huazi saw it and hurriedly supported Wang Ziping and said, "Brother Dao, what are you doing? You and I are both practitioners, so why bother to make such an empty gift?"

Then Wang Ziping ordered his disciples to prepare a fast meal, but he did not expect that Li Keren and others had already prepared the fast meal and brought it up.Although the vegetarian meal is very simple and only wild vegetables or something, everyone eats it with gusto.

After fasting, Prince Pingdaochang rested where he was because of his poor health.Taoist Wu Huazi took Kong Wu for a walk in the mountain stream. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kong Wu told his uncle what he heard and saw.

Daoist Wu Huazi was taken aback when he heard this, and kept saying, "Impossible, impossible."But Kong Wu asked him why it was impossible, but he didn't say anything.

Returning to the residence of Taoist Prince Ping, the old Taoist looked up at the missing moon in the night sky.Daoist Wu Huazi chuckled and said, "Brother Dao actually observes the changes in the stars."

When Wang Ziping heard it, he hurriedly turned his head to see that it was Wu Huazi who came, and said with a smile, "Brother Dao is joking, the poor Daoist just looks at the moon. I think the day after tomorrow will be the fifteenth day of this month. Brother Dao is also here, I think Brother Taoist, please be a witness. My two incompetent apprentices will be dismissed from the school the day after tomorrow.”

Daoist Wu Huazi immediately understood what Daoist Wang Ziping meant when he heard it, nodded to Daoist Wang Ziping and said, "I understand the meaning of Daoist brother, don't worry, I will select you an inheritor of the mantle in the future." People laughed together.

Three days passed quickly.In the past three days, Li Keren and his brothers have been studying everything the master taught day and night, and besides assisting Wang Ziping to heal his wounds, the two of them just sit together and discuss the scriptures.Kong Wu, the two most carefree, wandered around every day.

On the third day, Daoist Wang Ziping called two apprentices and said to them: "You two have also seen that the body of the teacher is getting worse every day. Daoist Wu happened to be here today. I will conduct an assessment of what I have learned, and the winner of the assessment will be passed on to him as a teacher. This Jade Ruyi must be known to you as powerful, and at the same time I will pass it on to the winner. Secret method. Did you all hear clearly?"

The two agreed, and the academic test began.At the beginning of the school examination, Li Keren and Hu Zhiping were evenly matched, but the later Hu Zhiping restrained Li Keren.

At the critical moment of the test, I heard a sound of oops.This sound immediately interrupted the two who were taking the test.Everyone followed the sound and saw that Kong Wu was rolling on the ground covering his head.

Daoist Wu Huazi hurriedly supported Kong Wu and said, "Kong Wu, what's wrong with you, Kong Wu, tell Master quickly, Kong Wu..." Before the Daoist could finish his words, Kong Zhi also fell to the ground covering his head.
