Chapter 101 The abbot is also a fortune teller
Huo Yuanzhen and Yichen came to the foot of the mountain, and there were already many people in front of the stall.
Originally, when I saw Abbot Yijie coming, people wanted him to come first, so they gave way to him and asked the abbot to calculate first, but Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand and told everyone to continue fortune telling. He was only here to watch.[]
The Taoist priest also saw Huo Yuanzhen, but did not talk to Huo Yuanzhen. There was a slight smile on his lips, and he didn't know how to think about it in his heart.
At this time, a woman came over and sat on a chair.
"Master Taoist, my husband has gone to Beijing to take the exam. It's time to come back today. Last night, the civilian woman had a dream and dreamed of several things. It must be related to her husband. Please help explain the dream."
"What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that my husband planted cabbage on the wall, and it was raining again. He wore a hat and an umbrella. Finally, I dreamed that after he came back, we were sitting back to back, and I don't know what happened?"
The old Taoist thought about it and said to the peasant woman: "This dream is not auspicious. Planting cabbage on the wall is in vain. Wearing a hat and holding an umbrella on rainy days is just an unnecessary move. As for the two of them back to back, they may be separated."
When the peasant woman heard this, she felt that the old Taoist was right and immediately felt sad. She couldn't help but burst into tears: "Oh! This killer, who failed the exam, wants to abandon me! When he comes back, I have to peel him off!"
The Taoist priest finished the calculation for the peasant woman and said to him: "Dream interpretation cannot be explained in vain, it requires thirty cents."
Although the peasant woman was angry, she had to pay the money when she told her fortune.
Just as he was about to give money, Huo Yuanzhen suddenly said next to him: "Sister-in-law, please listen to my words."
"Abbot, what's wrong?"
The peasant woman asked Huo Yuanzhen in confusion.
Huo Yuanzhen said: "I also briefly share the numerology of Zhouyi. If I have a little research on dreams, why should I come to do it for my sister-in-law?"
"Thank you, abbot."
When the peasant woman heard that Abbot Yijie could calculate for herself, she was not in a hurry to pay. After all, Abbot Yijie's prestige is very high among the people. Although this old Taoist has calculated a lot of effective things, her prestige cannot be higher than Yijie.
"Hey! Monk, what are you mixing up here? Are you good fortune telling?"
The old Taoist was a little impatient. Although his location was before the gate of Shaolin Temple, when he walked out of the gate, he did not belong to Shaolin Temple. He didn't care about the Shaolin monk coming to cause trouble.
"Whether you know whether you know or not."
Huo Yuanzhen ignored the old Taoist, but said to the peasant woman: "According to what my sister-in-law said just now, I have different opinions. Planting cabbage on the wall should mean high school."
The peasant woman was overjoyed when she heard this: "Abbot, do you think my husband can go to high school?"
"This should be news soon, and it was raining that day, and you still had a straw hat and an umbrella, which means that your husband came prepared. This exam should not be difficult for her. Sister-in-law, just wait for good news."
The peasant woman was even more excited and nodded frequently, saying to Huo Yuanzhen: "The last one, I dreamed of my husband and I back to back. What does it mean?"
"I wonder if my sister-in-law is at home on weekdays, is your status higher? Or is your husband's status higher?"
The peasant woman said embarrassedly: "Listen to him for big things, and listen to mine for small things."
"Haha" Huo Yuanzhen laughed: "But no major incident happened at home?"
The peasant woman nodded and the person next to her also laughed.
"Then this last dream is not very good. Back to back means that you are about to turn over. Obviously, the person who wants to turn over is your husband and sister-in-law. You must be mentally prepared. Your family status is probably not as good as before."
After Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, the peasant woman said happily: "As long as he wins, he will listen to him."
Before he finished speaking, the old Taoist there was unhappy and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Hey, monk, you have been talking for a long time. Who knows if his husband can pass the exam? What if he fails? Do you give me the fortune telling money she owes me?"
Huo Yuanzhen looked at the old saying, "Dao Master, don't be anxious. Just count here. If there is no news about his husband within an hour, I will give this money."
"Okay, monk, this is what you said. Don't blame me for being embarrassed at that time."
The old Taoist continued to ask, "Is there anyone else who wants to tell fortunes?"
At this time, another middle-aged farmer came over and said to the Taoist priest: "Master, it's autumn now, and my food is hanging outside, I'm afraid it will rain. I want you to help you calculate, will it rain soon?"
The old Taoist priest waved his hand: "It's been when it's still raining, there's no rain, so don't worry, let's dry it!"
The farmer was about to thank him and leave, but Huo Yuanzhen suddenly spoke: "This donor, hurry up and clean up your food, it will rain within an hour."
Before the farmer could say anything, the old Taoist priest laughed wildly: "The sky is high and the clouds are light, where does the rain come from? You monk's words are confusing the crowd. If it doesn't rain later, I will see what you want to say?"
Huo Yuanzhen ignored the Taoist priest and faced the peasant, "Go away quickly, it's still time now. Otherwise, you will suffer losses."
The farmer hesitated for a while and decided to listen to the abbot and ran home quickly.
Some people who dry food at home also went back.
But many people stayed here, waiting to see the final result of the matter, to see if it was the abbot who was as magical as ever, or if this foreign Taoist priest was even more magical.
The Taoist priest asked several times, but no one thought about what he was.
At this time, Huo Yuanzhen said again: "Master Taoist, how about I tell you a fortune?"
The old Taoist looked at Huo Yuanzhen disdainfully: "I'm afraid you don't have this ability."
"Whether you have the ability? Let me hear from me that your Yin Tang is dark, indicating that your journey is not going well, and your eyes are dull. This is a sign of being beaten up. Incoherent speech is a sign of being humiliated. I advise Taoist priest not to report the name of the sect, otherwise it will become a laughing stock for others in the future."
The old Taoist couldn't help laughing: "Little monk, you are so ridiculous and arrogant. I have already gained everyone's recognition of fortune telling here. You can't get things done with a few words of slander."
Huo Yuanzhen looked behind the old Taoist, "Master, I am thirsty, can you cut your watermelon to quench my thirst?"
"This little thing."
There were three watermelons behind the old Taoist, who were bought from the nearby melon field, and took out one and put it on the table.
Just as he was about to smash it open, Huo Yuanzhen suddenly waved his hand: "I can't see this watermelon well, let's change it."
The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, and a hint of alertness rose on his face, but he still took a watermelon again.
Huo Yuanzhen shook his head again: "I think the last watermelon is good, just take that one!"
"Little monk, you are too picky. It would be nice to give you watermelon!"
The old Taoist shouted sternly, but his face felt as if he was harsh and rude.
At this moment, suddenly a few fast horses came from outside, and a man was sitting in front of him, shouting from afar: "Madam! Madam is here!"
As he shouted, the woman who was telling fortune just now lit up her eyes and she hurriedly shouted: "I'm here!"
People around him watched, it turned out that this woman's husband who went to Beijing to take the exam was back.
The man came on a horse and everyone was surprised.
This scholar, who used to be, is now wearing a red robe and a palace flower, and is actually dressed in the costume of a top scholar.
The man ran to the woman, but did not get off the horse immediately, but said happily: "My wife, I have passed the palace examination. Now the emperor appointed me as the top scholar in the Jin Academy and was about to go to Jiangnan to take up his post. You can set off quickly with me!"
The woman was happy and a little dissatisfied, and said to the scholar: "You are dead, you will sit and talk to me immediately after you win the top scorer, and get off quickly!"
The scholar snorted coldly: "Xiaoyu, don't be ungrateful. If you want to follow me to Jiangnan, move faster, otherwise I won't wait for you."
The woman immediately became silent and realized that the husband in front of her was no longer the husband of the past, so she hurriedly followed her obediently.
Before leaving, the woman did not forget to greet Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot, you are so amazing. Now the husband of the civilian woman has indeed turned over."
People congratulated the top scorer one after another. When the top scorer left, they all looked at Huo Yuanzhen admirably, thinking that the abbot was just amazing and everything was calculated.
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a while and suddenly roared: "No, this is definitely not right! There is no such coincidence in the world. How could you calculate that this person can be high school and is about to return home! It must have been arranged in advance!"
He said this and actually received some approval from some people. After all, this matter is a bit strange. Huo Yuanzhen could actually know the arrival of the top scorer in advance, unless he had a pair of clairvoyances. At that time, the top scorer should be still twenty miles away.
"Amitabha, monks do not lie, let alone even if it is arranged by me, the Taoist priest has calculated it wrong!"
"That may not be true. Maybe this top scorer is also fake."
A villager next to him said, "No, I know this person, I did go to Beijing to take the exam."
"Hmph, I won't believe your words. They were all arranged by this monk. I will definitely not be wrong in my calculations."
The Taoist priest was refuting when a drop of water suddenly fell on his face.
"Who! Who spits on my face?"
The old Taoist was shouting, but he was stunned, as if he had remembered something, and slowly looked up at the sky.
At some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the cool breeze suddenly rose, and drops of water fell from the sky. Although it was not very big, it was indeed raining!
