Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Luo Jianqiang said slowly: "Three days ago, Li Jie called you. Someone answered and said that you were being rescued in the hospital. He told me about it. It's also that your life should not be cut off. I was working with this Master Xu. Discussing Taoism, he said that the celestial phenomena have changed, and some people will be punished by God, which is a sign of a great disaster. Master Xu followed me to the hospital and saw that you were breathing out and said that the hospital could not save your life. The hospital also said that it would try its best. I asked your parents to prepare for future generations and asked the doctor what the problem was. The doctor talked a lot and finally concluded that he didn’t know what the problem was. It was me who begged Master Xu to take action.

I brought you to me. Master Xu said that the boys here are many and strong, with strong yang energy and can ward off evil spirits. He started doing this at [-] o'clock in the morning. He lit up the seven-star lanterns and let the roaring dogs clear the way. Escort the driver, the young man is guarding the Dharma outside the door, burn the talisman to go to the underworld to rob someone on the road to the underworld, let your parents beat the gong to call the soul, and the golden rooster crows at one hour, which will save your life. It's a pity that this chicken and this dog gave up their lives for you. This is the vitality gained in exchange for their lives. Go and kowtow to Master Xu quickly. "

Gao Hongda hurriedly knelt down to kowtow, but Master Xu stopped him: "Don't worry, we have agreed with your parents first. If I save your life, I will lose ten years of my life and die from drowning. In return, you You must worship me as your master. When I am alive, you must follow the filial piety of my disciples. After I return to my throne, you must wear sackcloth and show filial piety for me, raise flags and throw jars."

Gao Hongda was extremely grateful. It was not easy to save people from the underworld, or to be precise, to rob people on the road to the underworld, and it also cost them their lives. The demands were not too much, so he solemnly said: "Master, I'm with you." Again, the parents who gave birth to me are my master. From now on, my disciples must fulfill their filial piety, as it is the law of heaven and earth."

Master Xu smiled happily and said, "Okay, you are sensible and you will not waste my ten years of life."

Gao Hongda solemnly kowtowed three times, picked up the tea handed over by Luo Jianqiang and raised it over his head. Master Xu took it and took a sip. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly said: "I forgot, I was supposed to sit down just now." If you are still alive, Lao Luo, hurry up and move a chair for me, and then start again, and you kowtow again!"

Everyone had a black look on their faces. Senior Brother Luo Jianqiang spat and started to argue: "Okay, you have no end to your pretense, right? Junior brother, get up quickly. The older you get, the less upright this thing is."

Master Xu was very dissatisfied and said: "Who are you talking about being old? I am only 48 years old this year! My appearance always seems to be because I have saved too many people and lost too many lives. It's a pity that I am good at Taoism, but I have no life." It won't last long, it's a pity!" He said seriously, and everyone couldn't help but feel sad.

If everyone knew that this old guy would live to be nearly 90 years old and still not ready to die, a few pairs of shoes would probably be thrown on his head by now. There is absolutely reason to suspect that he was transformed from an old turtle into a spirit and has a life span of thousands of years.

Master Xu was very satisfied with everyone's expressions. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. He opened the curtains and took a look outside. He also waved Gao Hongda to come and see. The scene outside shocked him into a cold sweat: a group of young apprentices were in Jin Feng's shop. Under the command, a team lined up to block the door, and kept throwing paper money and ingots into a burning iron bucket. The soot swirled up, and from time to time, shadows flashed past the fire. The disciples lined up in a row. Opposite the wall, soldiers wearing armor from various dynasties can be vaguely seen, from pre-Qin to modern times. These should be the legendary Yin soldiers. These Yin soldiers cannot enter or leave despite the obstruction of everyone, as if two armies In front of them, there are more and more mountains of gold and silver in front of them.

Master Xu said softly: The time has come.

The white belly of the fish has already appeared in the east, and all the roosters prepared in advance in the corner crow to the sky. The Yin soldiers collected the gold and silver mountains and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The last candle of the seven-star lamp in the room was extinguished.

"It's done, Mr. Fei has a strong nose. Are you a Monkey King? You stabbed the sky or something, and all ten evil soldiers were sent to get you. Fortunately, I am a teacher and I have a good relationship there." As Master Xu spoke, he turned around handsomely and motioned for him to come with him to the inner room if he had something to say alone.

The two came to a guest room, and Master Xu asked straight to the point: "Boy, tell the truth. What secret did you steal to cause such a big trouble?"

Gao Hongda didn't dare to hide it and confessed his consecutive lottery winnings.

Master Xu was not surprised, and said calmly: "What kind of luck did you get the day after tomorrow? I can't tell, and you don't want to tell me. I gave you a horoscope, and your fortune is less than 2 taels. Money, even if you are farting under the covers, you are good at literature and martial arts, but you have bad luck, and you are destined to have a lot of water and no gold, you are destined to achieve nothing, you have no fate with money, and you are a boss, whoever dares to use you will definitely be considered a loser. Oh! You must have encountered some great opportunity, and someone has changed your destiny against the will of heaven. Do you think you can do whatever you want? That’s nonsense. That’s because the higher-ups are too lazy to touch you, but you still want to do so with such a meager blessing. If you make a fortune by forcibly seizing secrets, it would be strange if they don't send troops to capture you. It's like what you young people call a computer virus. If you don't get it, they won't kill you. As long as you get sick, you will be killed without mercy."

Gao Hongda asked timidly: "Master, I will burn the lottery tickets right now. How about giving it to your old man to buy some wine?"

Master Xu quickly waved his hand, then pointed to his surprisingly big eyeball and said: "I am also a person who has been punished by God. I usually reveal too many secrets. Giving me so much money is like urging me to die. I have nothing to do with it." I’ll give you the inheritance. I revealed too many secrets and made a lot of money, but in the end, no matter how many wives I found, I couldn’t give birth to a child. Later, I got seriously ill and had to spend all my wealth to buy a life. This is not moral. You must understand the principle that coordination will bring disaster, so stretch out your left hand!"

Gao Hongda did as he was told and stretched out his left hand.

"You have experienced a great calamity of life and death this time. The Yin Qi has been in the mix for too long. If it had been a day later, even the gods would not be able to save you. However, there is also an advantage. It is to open your eyes a little bit and you can see a little different things, just like the Yin Qi just now. Soldier, there is this thing." Master Xu pointed to the two clearly visible lines on the inside of his wrist, one black and one red. Master Xu continued: "The black line is the retribution of bad luck, and the red line is the retribution of good fortune. Now this If the two lines are even, it is the so-called blessing and misfortune. Remember to do more good deeds in the future, so that the blessings will last and you will have great wealth at the end of your life. Otherwise, even if you lose all your money, you will still have to die."

Gao Hongda asked unwillingly: "Master, can I still redeem my lottery ticket?"

"Go and redeem the prize! No fool would refuse to redeem the prize! Anyway, your evil retribution has been fulfilled before this. This wealth will not be free if you don't take it. You are also serious. You can't steal things from the same family. You should change places. , Isn’t it obvious that you are just waiting for someone to catch you?” Master Xu dug out a large piece of dry nose and popped it far away. He also said: "This woman is a disaster. Don't mess with her in the future. This will also consume your blessings. In the future, you must help the poor and weak more. In the future, people will depend on you for food. This is merit. Accumulate it slowly! Wait until the red line extends to your heart." In your position, no one will care about you even if you go to heaven or to the sun."

This Master Xu must have also been a taxi driver. He never stopped talking: "I have a shortcut here. I calculate that you are destined to have many noble people. Within a year, you will have a chance to meet a girl who is destined to be a queen. Listen to me." Yes, use all means to get her. She can make your husband more prosperous! I'll teach you the art of watching Qi first. When you see the girl with purple Qi on her head, bite her and don't let go. Otherwise, she won't have anything to do with you when she becomes the queen. That’s it. Also, don’t forget to give me some money after you receive the bonus. I’ll take Lao Luo to take a bath. It’s plain.”

Trying not to laugh, Gao Hongda nodded.

"I'm happy today. Go and call that guy who looks older than me. I'll give him a few words!" Master Xu returned to his master's demeanor and sat upright.

He was talking about Lao Bi. Lao Bi went in and came out with a gloomy look on his face, and then asked a dreamy trio to go in. When the three came out, they had the same expression on their faces. No one paid attention to them, and they all leaned against the wall, picking at the wall and thinking. Worry. All the way back to school, I didn't say a word. Gao Hongda also asked them what the old man said to them. They all said that it was personal privacy and could not be disclosed until the opportunity came.

It was not until many years later that Gao Hongda heard their self-reports and talked about their conversations that year that he realized that Master Xu was definitely a master in the world.
