Chapter 140 VII

Chen Mengsheng looked at the coffin and asked, "Old man, what is this?"

The old man first put three sticks of incense in front of the coffin, and said in tears: "Master, the name of the little old man is Gu Jing, and he is also well-known in Huizhou. But I never expected that a few years ago I brought The child went to the temple fair and met an old Taoist, everything changed, it was all my fault..."

The ancient family in Huizhou, from Gu Jing's generation to the last three generations, were all businessmen who bought and sold medicines and wealth in Huizhou. There were four brothers and three sisters among the ancestral brothers and sisters.The sisters were all married to wealthy families in Huizhou, so they went back to their natal families to help these brothers when they had nothing to do.At this moment, Gu Jing has already occupied half of the family property in Huizhou City. How much money Gu Jing has cannot be counted, and how many lands Gu Jing has may not be able to walk around in a few days.But when the water is full, the moon will be full and the moon will be full. There is nothing perfect in the world.The Gu family has a lot of money, but the number of people is not prosperous. The Gu family has money and no one spends it. Gu Jing became the only male among the four brothers.

At the age of 20, Gu Jing married the daughter of the Xu family, a wealthy family in Huizhou City. They have not seen a boy and a half girl after two years of marriage.Gu Jing and Xu's family burned incense when they saw a temple, and gave alms when they encountered Buddhism or Taoism.After a lot of hard work and good deeds, he gave birth to a son named Gu Mingen. When Gu Mingen was 13 years old, he was taken to the streets by Gu Jing to watch temple fairs. Huizhou city was full of rich people.Gu Jing hired three theater troupes by himself, including jugglers, singers, and jugglers.The temple fair was even more lively than New Year's Eve, Gu Jing and the half-grown boy sat in the crowd to watch the excitement.

After the temple fair was over, the father and son were about to get into the carriage and go home, but sitting cross-legged in front of their own carriage was a blind Taoist man with a white beard and white hair, but a rosy face without a single crease.Gu Jing took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the driver, and he and his son got into the car.Who knew that the blind man didn't want money, Gu Jing poked his head out and asked, "Does the Taoist priest think the money is too little?" He took out another ingot of silver from his body, got out of the car, and put it in the hand of the blind Taoist himself.

The blind Taoist didn't take the money but instead grabbed Gu Jing's hand, and Gu Jing's face became displeased.While touching Gu Jing's palm, the blind Taoist told about Gu Jing's family affairs from childhood to adulthood, even after many years of marriage, Gu Jing went to the temple to pray to the Buddha and asked how much money he had donated. They didn't say anything at all.

Gu Jing was shocked and asked: "The Taoist priest is really a fairy? I don't know why the old fairy is looking for me?"

The blind Taoist laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, the old man is not here for you, but for him." The Taoist pointed at Gu Mingen who was on the car.

Gu Jing hurriedly called his son over, Gu Mingen didn't know what happened to come before the blind Taoist.The blind Taoist asked Gu Mingen to spread his hand, the old Taoist touched the palm of his hand, stood up speechless for a while, and then touched Gu Mingen's forehead... Gu Jing is also a smart person. Immediately took his son and went home. How can there be such a good thing in the world, if there is a blind Taoist who has already taken it by himself, he will leave it to others?

The blind Taoist touched for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Ling is by no means an ordinary person, this son has immortal bones, but..."

Gu Jing didn't expect the blind Taoist to say that his son was not an ordinary person, and that he was a reincarnated fairy with a fairy bone on his body!Quickly asked: "Master, but what?"

The blind Taoist sighed earnestly: "However, his fairy bones have been covered with dust, and if he wants to be reborn, it depends on his good fortune by participating in Buddhism and enlightening Taoism."

Gu Jing felt like a bright mirror in his heart, and took out a 1000 tael bank note from his pocket.Throughout the ages, the rich and the powerful, even the ninety-five lords, thought that one day they would become gods and immortals. Their sons prayed to gods and worshiped Buddhas before they were conceived. They must think that the stars in the sky came down to earth. Dao Jigou Shengtian himself has benefited a lot.Gu Jing respectfully put the banknote in the Taoist's hand and said: "I also ask the master to guide my son, Gu must be rewarded with a lot of money."

The blind Taoist laughed loudly and said: "Everything can only be taken from the middle, but it is up to man to make things happen, but it depends on God's will. Old Taoists go, good men can do it themselves." The blind Taoist walked away without going to pick up Gu Jing's money. ticket.

Gu Jing was in a hurry. Whether his son would become a fairy or not in the future depended on the blind Taoist enlightenment. Where would he find him after the Taoist left.Thinking of this, Gu Jing took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward and grabbed the old Taoist's hand, took out all the remaining bank notes in his arms and stuffed them into the Taoist's hand.Gu Jing accompanied him with a smile and said, "I only brought these two 3000 taels of banknotes with me when I went to the temple fair today. Master, please accept it."

The blind Taoist said in embarrassment: "It's not that the old Taoist refuses to point out the Zen secrets, it's that the secrets must not be revealed. If the secrets are leaked, it will be very detrimental to your son!" Gu Jing did not dare to do it again after hearing what the blind Taoist said. I can only watch the Taoist walk away...

It is true to say that the old Taoist is blind, but he is not a Taoist at all.Among the temples in Huizhou is a sect called Zouping. Gu Jing and his wife Xu once went to his temple to give alms.Just because of Gu Jing's generous spending, giving away thousands of taels of silver is like playing for fun.Zou Ping, a small family member, has no place to stand on the stage, so he can only meet Gu Jing in secret.

Zou Ping is not young and can be a frivolous person, and he has cheated a lot of money just by relying on his three-inch tongue for several years.Later, he was kicked out by the presiding monk in the temple, and Zou Ping had no way out now.Gambling with others for cheating, a pair of tricks were abandoned alive, and Zou Ping became even more difficult to survive after he became blind. In the past, he followed a group of Huazi and begged for a living.Unexpectedly, Huizhou wanted a temple fair, and that Gu Jing invited three theater troupes by himself.

Zou Ping immediately had an idea in his mind, and when the troupe entered Huizhou, he would hang out with the troupe, saying that he knew Gu Jing, and became acquainted with the troupe after a while.The theater troupe who came here for the first time was very polite to Zou Ping, a blind man. When Gu Jing came to the temple fair, someone from the theater troupe came to tell Zou Ping.Zou Ping asked for an outfit from the troupe, and found out that Gu Jing's carriage was sitting there waiting for Gu Jing to take the bait.With these two 3000 taels of silver, Zou Ping could live a well-fed life, but he didn't expect that Zou Ping would almost ruin the Gu family in the future...

Gu Jing asked his son to resign from the private school and took him to visit Taoism and become an immortal, and he didn't care about the family business.His son Gu Ming'en also knew that it was a good thing to become an immortal and attain the Tao, so he gradually became obsessed with it.Many years have passed in a flash, and countless famous mountains and ancient temples have been visited in the world, but there is no progress in Gu Mingen's becoming a fairy.In desperation, the father and son returned to Huizhou, and Gu Mingen was even more eager to become a fairy.Whenever monks and Taoists come to alms for alms, he will give a lot of money, and if a practitioner praises him for his celestial destiny, he will give him a thousand taels of silver.They read "Laoshan Technique", "Mayi Tu", "Huainanzi" and other miscellaneous books at home all day long. Gu Jing and his wife felt that their son was getting more and more promising.

When Gu Mingen was 19 years old, two middle-aged Taoist priests, one thin and one fat, came to the door directly and said that they could save Gu Mingen from becoming a fairy.Looking at the two Taoist priests, Gu Jing was also dubious, so he asked: "I don't know where the two immortals come from, and how can they save children to become immortals?"

The skinny Taoist said disdainfully: "Our two brothers are from Yingzhou. My name is Tongtian Taoist and his name is Tedun Taoist. How can you, an ordinary man, know that my brothers have great supernatural powers? You can't be convinced without ### means." The skinny Taoist Tongtian spit out a burst of flames from his mouth, the flames frightened Gu Jing so much that he dared not open his eyes.

The fat Taoist Che smiled and said: "The ancient benefactor was shocked, and I was overwhelmed by the apology to the benefactor." Che spread out with one hand, and out of thin air, there was a jug of wine no bigger than a palm.With the other hand, there was a big bowl, and he poured wine into the bowl with a jug the size of a palm.Gu Jing saw clearly that the wine juice poured out from the small flagon jug immediately filled the big sea bowl, but the wine in the jug seemed to be inexhaustible.The fat Taoist handed the bowl to Gu Jing, how dare Gu Jing take it.The fat Taoist laughed and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then used the small pot to fill the bowl with wine. He repeated this three times so that Gu Jing was dumbfounded.

The two Taoists smiled at Gu Jing and said: "Gu Shanren these are just trivial skills. If the good man still has doubts, our brothers can still spread clouds and rain and scatter beans into soldiers. Does Gu Shanren want to see it?"

Gu Jing was intimidated by the two Taoist priests, and said again and again: "The Taoist priest has profound immortal skills, and someone in Gu admires him, but I don't know how the two Taoist priests will save my son from becoming a fairy?"

Taoist Tongtian curled his lips and said: "To save a person and become a fairy depends on the fate of the fairy. Why don't we two brothers refine a furnace of golden pill for your son. Your son will naturally become a fairy after eating it, but it is only the result of refining the golden pill." It’s not easy to find the heavenly spirits and earthly treasures you need!”

Gu Jing asked: "Treasures of heaven and earth? As long as it is found on the ground in Huizhou, there are four medicine shops under my command..."

The thorough Taoist laughed loudly and said: "Does Gu Shanren have the dragon liver and phoenix marrow?" Gu Jing opened his eyes wide and was at a loss as to how to answer. The dragon liver and phoenix marrow are not ordinary things, so how could he have them...

The two Taoists settled down in Gu Jing's house, and built an alchemy room in a decent manner.But spending money is like flowing water, and you can't ask where the money is spent. The two Taoists will always use various excuses to ask Gu Jing for money.Today I was going to Kunlun Mountain to collect dew, and after a few days, I reached out for silver to go to Yaochi to find fairy grass. Anyway, the two Taoist priests were so clouded that Gu Jing was in a daze, so he took out the silver.

Even if he has a lot of money, it's not enough to make such a toss. Gu Jing thought that one day he could make a golden elixir and his son would become a fairy.The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, but there is a smart family named Qi among the neighbors of Gujing.

Qi Changshui was a military general who was demoted to Huizhou. When Emperor Gaozong bowed his knees to the Jinren, Qi Changshui was still a young general.As a result, Qi Changshui was demoted to a commoner in Huizhou by a decree, and Qi Changshui drank his sorrows all day long with nowhere to go to the country.Later, he married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a daughter named Qi Ying, nicknamed Xianglan.The Qi family and the Gu family are neighbors across the street. In the early years, the daughter-in-law of the Qi family died of illness and had no money to bury her. It was Gu Jing who took out 500 taels of silver to do the funeral...

Qi Changshui was also secretly sad when he saw that Gu Jing had ruined a good family for the sake of his son's immortality.His daughter, Xianglan, knows that her father has always missed the kindness of the Gu family.He frowned and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, it's easy to see through the deeds of those two Taoists..."
