My years as a fortune teller

Tianshui Shimen Mountain is located in Longshan Mountain in the southeast of Beidao District, Tianshui City.Shimen Mountain has a beautiful scenery and is called "Little Yellow Mountain." There are many Taoist temples such as Zhenwu Temple, Queen Mother Temple, Sanqing Hall, and Wuliang Hall.

On the third day after leaving Professor He's place, Master called me to ask me how my injury was and how the year was going.I told them all about what happened after I separated from Master.

Although the old man thought the phone bill was expensive, he finally asked for it. I called him and told him.I briefly explained the "ghost characters" matter, and Master asked me to buy the plane or train ticket for the day, and go to see him immediately with the rubbings.

I talked and talked, and finally agreed to go to him within a week when I was ready.When it's over and nothing to do, they call and scold me, saying why I haven't moved yet.Why!It’s hard to buy train tickets during Chinese New Year!In this way, amidst the urging and scolding, I came to Shimen Mountain in Tianshui City.

After I came to Tianshui, no one was sent to pick me up, and I was slaughtered all the way to the foot of Shimen Mountain during the Chinese New Year.Fortunately, I met a young Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain, and he led me to the Taoist temple where Master is.What is better here than Zhongnanshan is that the communication is more developed.

After seeing the master, without saying a word, first knelt down and kowtowed a few times. Although there is no red envelope, etiquette must not be forgotten.The head here has just been kowtowed, and I haven't stood up yet.Just heard a voice say: "The fat boy and I!"

Hearing this voice, you don't need to ask to know that it is my teacher, the mad Taoist.I turned around hastily, and headed a few more times at him.After standing up, he said to him: "Good luck, here is the red envelope."

When the teacher mad Taoist heard it, he smiled bitterly at the master and said, "Why didn't he ask you for it, but asked me, a poor Taoist priest." The master looked at him and smiled, "Who told you two to hit it off?"

Then he said to me: "Come with me." After the master got up and walked in front with the mad Taoist, I followed behind to a room next to the apse.

The layout of the room is very simple, there is a bill when entering the door, and a big word "Tao" is written on the wall.Below is the statue of the patriarch.There is an incense burner in front of the statue, with three sticks of unburned incense stuck in it.An old Taoist who is not much different from his master sits on a bed not far from the table and meditates.

I didn't dare to talk too much. After entering the door, I first took three sticks of incense, lit the candles next to it, respectfully put three sticks of incense on the patriarch, and then knelt down and kowtowed.

I just finished kowtowing when I heard a burst of hearty laughter.I hurriedly stood up and looked over there, and it turned out that the old man who was meditating was smiling.

The master beckoned to me, and after I passed by, the master said to me: "This is my brother Qing Weizi, hurry up and salute."

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly knelt down, cupped my fists and said, "Uncle Master is merciful, the boy kowtowed to Uncle Master."

The uncle hurriedly got out of bed, helped me up and said, "Get up, get up. I heard your two masters mention you earlier, and this time we finally meet."

Before I stood up, I heard Master say, "Quickly tell us what you told me on the phone a few days ago."

As soon as I heard it, I told the three masters about the ins and outs of my experience in Cui Erye's house, and the opening of the sarcophagus with blood jade.

Then I took the rubbings out of the bag and spread them on the ground.Uncle, master, and teacher Madaoren all bent down and carefully looked at the words on the rubbings.

Then I said it again carefully based on my analysis at the time.At this time Master Qing Weizi looked up at us and said, "That's right, at this time, the earliest rune embodiment..."

As soon as I heard my uncle say that, I wondered if my uncle had seen it before.Just as I was about to ask, I heard the master say, "Brother, have you seen these? Why haven't I heard you mention them before?"

The uncle smiled and shook his head and said: "That was a long time ago. At that time, I was a young Taoist boy who had just started. When I was serving in front of the master, I met him by chance."

Said that the uncle came to the bedside, asked the master and the teacher to sit down, and then called Daotong to make four cups of tea.I quietly stood behind Master.The uncle took a sip of tea and talked.

It turned out that the uncle's parents died when he was young, and he was taken in by a Taoist, that is, his master and my uncle ancestor.At that time, the patriarch had three apprentices, and my master's master was the second.After the uncle apprenticed to the teacher, because he was still young, he was arranged to serve the ancestor under the seat of the ancestor.

As the uncle grew up slowly, he also learned a lot of skills.When Master Uncle was ten years old, Patriarch went to Mount Kongtong to visit Master Shangde.The eldest apprentice and the second apprentice have not yet returned from their travels, so the third apprentice is required to guard the Taoist temple.I went with two disciples and grandchildren, and one of them was my uncle.

After the master brought his two disciples to Kongtong, the master and the master Shangde talked about the scriptures and Taoism every day, and discussed the practice of inner alchemy with each other. Play around on the mountain.

After a heavy rain that day, the uncle found a stone tablet engraved with tadpole characters on the back mountain.Unknown to the uncle, he covered the stele with the clothes he was wearing, then cut his hand and dripped blood on the clothes, making a rubbing.

After returning to the Taoist temple, the uncle immediately took the rubbings to see the ancestor and Master Shangde.Unexpectedly, Master Shang De recognized at a glance that this is a "ghost character" that has been missing for thousands of years.

Master was shocked when he heard it, and asked Master Shang De how he knew that this was a "ghost character" that had been lost for thousands of years.Master Shang De took out an ancient book called "Qing Ping Dao Talisman Record".This book clearly records the details of the "ghost characters" on the rock walls of Mount Tai back then, and records a few "ghost characters".

But this book has no author, nor does it say how to see "ghost characters".So Master Shangde's ancestors and others always thought it was a fake book.I didn't expect to see the rubbings of my uncle today, and then I knew that these were all true.

So he quickly asked his uncle to lead the way, and followed his uncle to the stone tablet where the "ghost character" was found.But as soon as we arrived at the back mountain, we were about to reach the stele, when we heard a bang, the back mountain collapsed, and the stones and soil submerged the stele.

Immediately, Master Shangde organized people to dig, but only one head of the stele was dug out, and the rest of it went to nowhere.Master Master and Daoist Shangde carefully pondered over the rubbings brought back by Master Master.

But I didn't expect that on the second night, a mouse got the oil lamp and burned the rubbings.If it weren't for the timely rescue by everyone, I'm afraid a thousand-year-old Taoist temple would have been wiped out like this.

Later, when he returned to the mountain, Master Grandpa told his eldest and youngest apprentices about this matter, that is, my master's uncle and uncle.And told him that if there is a destiny, he must solve the ten-thousand-year mystery of this "ghost character".And it is stipulated that only the master can know about this matter.

Because my master is looking for enemies outside with his own master, so I don't know about it.By the time my master went up the mountain alone, the ancestor had already become a fairy, and the master at that time was my master's uncle, my uncle ancestor.So my master didn't know about it either.

My heart tightened after listening to the uncle, it was like saying that "ghost characters" are a secret mastered by the head of the sect.The uncle is the head of the sect, my master is not, the teacher madao is an outsider, and I don't even need it.But the master has disclosed this secret to the public, what does it mean?

The uncle seemed to see my thoughts, looked at me with a faint smile and said: "You have worked hard this time, my son. Unraveling such a big secret for us, your patriarch will be happy when he sees it."

I was a little embarrassed when I heard it, did I get it by mistake?Just as I was about to speak, my uncle continued: "Our faction is now sparsely populated, and there are very few people with simple minds. I am very optimistic about people like you."

I didn't understand what the uncle said, so I heard the master say: "Brother, do you want to..." Before the master finished speaking, the uncle stretched out his hand to block the words behind the master.

Then Master took us to have a vegetarian meal and put me in a small room next to Master.After I cleaned up, I wanted to go to see the master, but I didn't expect that the master went to the uncle to talk about things, and only the teacher, the crazy Taoist, meditated there.

When the teacher saw me coming in, he asked me to sit opposite him and test me.I have been busy during this time, and I didn't study hard what the teacher taught me.But the basics have not been forgotten. Fortunately, the teacher is not like the master, who will serve him with a stick if he can't remember.
