Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 141 Zhang Xing Plays with Yuan Shoucheng
Zhang Xing did not act immediately after entering Chang'an City, but wandered around Chang'an City to familiarize himself with the ancient Chang'an City.

Zhang Xing's familiarity really discovered something different. There is a golden dragon of luck hovering over the palace in Chang'an City.

The Qi Luck Golden Dragon is very strong, more than 800 meters long, but at this time the Qi Luck Golden Dragon is a bit sluggish.There was still a cloud of black air between the eyebrows, which made the entire Golden Dragon of Luck look a bit late.

Seeing the black air between the eyebrows of the Luck Golden Dragon, Zhang Xing had an idea in his mind when he thought about Taizong's resurrection from the underworld in Journey to the West.

After looking at Chang'an City for a while, Zhang Xing didn't stop, and walked towards the outside of Chang'an City.Because he wanted to meet the fisherman surnamed Zhang at the beginning of the Westward Journey.

After leaving the city gate, Zhang Xing didn't know where the fisherman surnamed Zhang was.However, according to Journey to the West, the fisherman surnamed Zhang often fished by the Jing River, so Zhang Xing asked people where the Jing River was and walked over to the Jing River.

After walking for a while, Zhang Xing heard the sound of the river flowing.After walking a few steps quickly, a big river appeared in front of Zhang Xing.Although the Jinghe River is a river, the Jinghe River is much larger than ordinary rivers. At least Zhang Xing didn't see the other side of the river when he looked over.

When he arrived at the Jinghe River, Zhang Xing found that there were many people fishing here.It was not easy to find the fisherman Zhang Shao, so Zhang Xing had no choice but to ask someone, but he had never heard of this Zhang Shao after a round of travel, so Zhang Xing couldn't help wondering whether the Journey to the West was written wrong.Zhang Xing had no choice but to build a thatched hut by the Jinghe River and live there.

What Zhang Xing didn't expect was that this stay would last for two years.In the past two years, Zhang Xing has robbed Yuan Shoucheng's business - fortune-telling!
Although Zhang Xing didn't learn any powerful arithmetic, Zhang Xing can still calculate the hexagrams of ordinary people.However, Zhang Xing has a rule that only three hexagrams are counted every day, no matter who the other party is, one hexagram in the morning, one hexagram at noon, and one hexagram at night within a day.More will never count.

With Zhang Xing's ability, it is natural that things are flourishing in Chang'an City.However, Zhang Xing still hasn't found this Zhang Shao in the past two years, even with arithmetic.

After all, Journey to the West has already started, and the secrets are chaotic and obscure.Just based on Zhang Xing's half-baked fortune-telling skills, he can't figure out anything related to Journey to the West.However, this matter has advantages and disadvantages for Zhang Xing. Needless to say the disadvantages, the advantage is that Zhang Xing does not have to worry about being discovered by others when he does some tricks during Journey to the West.

On this day, Zhang Xing had just finished counting the hexagrams in the morning and was sitting in the thatched hut to rest.Suddenly Zhang Xing heard a noise outside the room. In order to find Zhang Shao, Zhang Xing purposely built a thatched hut by the Jing River, and Zhang Xing heard the noise coming from the Jing River.

Hearing this, Zhang Xing thought for a moment, thinking that Journey to the West would officially start soon!And I have waited for two years, maybe I will see that fisherman Zhang Shao today.Thinking of this, Zhang Xing walked out of the room and walked towards the Jing River.

As soon as he got out of the room, Zhang Xing saw a group of people gathered around the Jing River, exclaiming from time to time, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Seeing this, Zhang Xing also walked to the Jinghe River, and Zhang Xing looked into the crowd.I saw a gray-haired old man in the crowd smiling and picking up a golden-red carp and putting it into the fish basket beside him. Zhang Xing saw that the rather large fish basket was already full of fish.Seeing this, Zhang Xing also guessed the identity of the old man.

Sure enough, following the people's conversation, Zhang Xing heard that the old man was a fisherman named Zhang and slightly named.

The people around the river asked Zhang Yuweng why he caught so many fish, but the old fisherman always smiled and did not answer, but he also took out some fish and shared them with the people around him, and after that, those people left , and Zhang Xing also left with the people!
After the crowd left, the old fisherman packed up his fishing tools and headed for Chang'an City with the fish basket on his back.But what he didn't realize was that there was a person hanging not far behind him, and this person was Zhang Xing.

After entering the city gate, Zhang Shao walked towards the West Market.After a while, Zhang Xing, who was following behind him, saw him coming to a fortune-telling stand, and the fortune-teller was a middle-aged scribe, with a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows and star eyes, and a good skin.

Zhang Shao walked up to the fortune-teller and said with a smile: "According to what I said today, it really fell into a lot of rain. This golden carp should be a tribute to Mr.!" He took it out from the fish basket behind him. A golden carp was handed over to the fortune teller.

The fortune-teller didn't want to get fame, so he nodded, put away the golden carp, and then didn't speak, he picked up the things on the table and helped the fisherman to do the fortune telling!After the calculation, the fortune teller told the fisherman how to cast the net and how to cast the fish.And this scene happened to be heard by Zhang Xing.After listening, Zhang Xing smiled and disappeared.

The next day, after the fisherman Zhang Shao made arrangements according to the fortune teller, he waited.As a result, he waited for the whole morning, but he didn't wait for the fish to bite the hook.Zhang Xiao had no choice but to continue fishing in the afternoon, but unfortunately there were still no fish biting the bait.

The fisherman didn't care too much when he saw this situation, so he went to the fortune teller to make a fortune teller on the third day, and waited for him to make arrangements according to the fortune teller. After waiting for a day, he still didn't catch any fish.So it went on, and on the fourth day, the fisherman Zhang Shaobian came to the fortune teller's booth and hurled abuse at him, saying that the gentleman was just a liar.

And Yuan Shoucheng was speechless after hearing the fisherman's words. He knew his own skills, and it was impossible to make a mistake. In addition, the fisherman was also explained by his superiors. Now that he didn't catch any fish, he didn't know how to play out the next thing.

In the end, Yuan Shoucheng still kept the booth, after all, he still has some skills!What happened to the fisherman Zhang Shao can be said to be a complete accident. If Zhang Xing hadn't played tricks, he would not have had such a disaster!
Back at the residence, it happened that Yuan Shoucheng's nephew Yuan Tiangang also came back!So Yuan Shoucheng told Yuan Tiangang about it.Yuan Tiangang was shocked when he heard this, and quickly counted his fingers, but in the end he could only sigh and said: "Now that the catastrophe has begun, the secrets of heaven are chaotic, and it is impossible to budget! The things that were arranged before are now in trouble, and I don't know how to move forward." Confess to me face to face!"

Hearing what his nephew Yuan Tiangang said, Yuan Shoucheng also sighed.After a while, when the two uncles and nephews sighed.Suddenly Yuan Tiangang said: "Uncle, since the matter of the fisherman, I don't know if it was destroyed by someone! Or the way of heaven has changed, why don't we change the method!"

"Oh! Another way?" Hearing what his nephew said, Yuan Shoucheng asked hastily, "I don't know what you should pay attention to, Tiangang?"

Without hiding anything, Yuan Tiangang told Yuan Shoucheng his attention. Although Yuan Shoucheng hesitated after hearing this, he agreed when he thought that this was the explanation from the superior.

And Zhang Xing was also very happy to see that he had ruined the bet between Jinghe Dragon King and Yuan Shoucheng in Journey to the West, so he ignored Yuan Shoucheng.Just sit and wait for the development of Journey to the West!
The Dragon King of Jinghe, who also didn't know that he had walked through life and death, still ate and drank in his water mansion, watching the clam girl's dance from time to time.But he didn't know that another crisis was approaching him.
