Chapter 15: God Counts Heaven's Secret(1/2)
.
After the common man said goodbye to Wang Shichong, he realized that even if he wanted to be low-key, he would not be able to do so.
Although it was only the first time we met, Wang Shichong's performance has shown that Xiao Buyi, now in Dongdu, is the focus of everyone's attention. Whether it is Wang Shichong who is far away in Jiangdu, Yu Wenhua who used to plot against him, and even the elders of the two dynasties, Li Hun, Li Min or Yu Wen Shu, they are not head-on for him. As for whether they secretly want to plot against him, it is something that no one knows.
When Xiao Buyi remembered the assassination when he left Pei's house, he was a little helpless. It was not that he had not considered who killed him, but after thinking about it carefully, there were indeed many people who wanted to kill him. At least Yuwen and Li family wanted to get rid of him and get out of him. As for Su Wei, Zhang Jin and Yu Shiji were all cunning people, and they were not easy to share with each other. Now Wang Shichong has come again, and he is despicable and shameless to the extreme. Compared with him, Yu Wen and that is simply a few orders of magnitude worse.
Although Taipu Shaoqing is a horse official, he does not hold real power, but it is not easy to be a good person. Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, but Taipu Shaoqing's position is promising. At least in the eyes of others, it is a very terrifying thing that Xiao Buyi can sit in the position of Taipu Shaoqing in just a few months. As for how popular Xiao Buyi will be in a few years, that is something that everyone is considering. Xiao Buyi feels that the most important thing he should consider now is not to climb up, but how to use this once-in-a-lifetime official position in his hand to achieve the greatest achievements.
After he established his authority on the Royal Ranch some time ago, Ma Xingkong has not yet moved. Xiao Buyi knew that this old boy was stepping on him, but he couldn't care much. He was also ready to put some pressure on Ma Xingkong. Li Xuanba's turtle shell recorded that Li was the emperor, so what would be recorded on the two pieces on his hand? Xiao Buyi was very curious and just wanted to turn around and knock on the turtle shell to look for it. Perhaps what was written on it was just a prophecy he had known for a long time, but his curiosity made him want to see it.
Looking around, he realized that he had crossed the Tianjin Bridge. Xiao Buyi was laughing and crying. His Taipu Mansion was in Lushunfang. It was south of Luoshui and should have come out of the East City nearest, but he said goodbye to his brother Li Xuanba, but he walked to Taiwei City in the south. After crossing Tianjin Bridge, he had already reached the north of Luoshui. If you want to go back to Taipu Mansion, you have to go around the big ***.
Fortunately, he is not impatient. His sense of mystery about the heavenly books and earth is much weaker than others. The horse runs along the Luoshui River. Looking at the silver-covered land of the Dongdu, the Luoshui River circling like an ice dragon, Xiao Buyi's depression in Fushun Palace is inevitably much less.
Although the six words Li should be the emperor have nothing to do with him, it is not pleasing to Yang Guang all day long.
All the yards in the Eastern Capital are covered with snow, the sky is still cloudy, and there is no sunshine. It is like Yang Guang's face.
When the sky was cloudy, Xiao Buyi suddenly thought of something in his heart, and thought it carefully, and locked his eyebrows. He was a little bit doubtful about Angata. He began to follow his thoughts. Angata was just a charlatan, but now the cold wind blew, his mind was extremely clear, and he couldn't help but think of too many doubts. First of all, Angata was just a alchemist. If he lived in Daoxunfang, he should have a better understanding of the situation in the Dongdu. The six words "Li should be the emperor" seemed simple, but it had already scared Li Xuanba and Li Shimin very much. But to be honest, judging from the current situation, Li Yuan was really nothing. At least in the eyes of the ministers, Li Yuan could only be considered an extra-staff member of the Li family. He shook his head and wanted to squeeze into the Li family. I'm afraid Li Min would not recognize him as a relative.
The Li family should have a wide range of attacks on the emperor, but to say that they are currently in Dongdu, because this rumor is in the most unfavorable situation, of course, Li Hun and Li Min, and the Li family who support them!
Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi's heart lit up. Angatu was brought by Yuwen Shu. Angatu suggested that Yang Guang kill all the Li surnamed in the world. Is it Yuwen Shu's instructions?
However, I heard that Li Hun had a concubine who was Yuwen Shu's sister. The relationship between them should be good, but Yuwen Shu's move was obviously targeting Li Hun. Could it be that the two of them have a holiday now?
When Xiao Buyi thought of this, he shook his head secretly, and felt it was unlikely, because this matter was of great importance. It would be a joke for all the people in the world to kill the Li surname. Yuwen Shu's son was demoted to serve as the people. How could he set up a strong enemy now? But Angata was indeed brought by him, so how can this be explained?
The cold wind blew, Xiao Buyi's heart trembled slightly, and suddenly thought of a possibility. It is said that Yuwen Shu is good at understanding Yang Guang's intentions, so that he can always be with Yang Guang's side. Could it be that the person who killed the Li surname is Yang Guang's thought?
Xiao Buyi couldn't help feeling disappointed when he thought of this. Dugu Ji and Dong Qifeng were both guarding Dongdu. If the rumors really spread, they had no reason not to know. They didn't know because the rumor was spread by Yuwen Shu under the instruction of Yang Guang. Sima Chang'an knew the rumor, so was he related to Yuwen Shu?
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly in his heart when he thought of this, and he thought that he had a clear onlooker and analyzed so many things, but he didn't know whether it was right or not. However, if Yang Guang really made so many famous things to kill Li Hun and Li Min, he probably never dreamed that the few words he came up with the Heavenly Book. Is this a coincidence, or God's will?
"Is this young master going to do a fortune teller?"
A low voice interrupted Xiao Buyi's thoughts. Xiao Buyi immediately turned his head and looked over and found a divination stall under the eaves of a house on the side of the road, with the word "Du" written on the cloth banner. Behind the divination stall was a Taoist priest, with a clear face, fairy-like and a charming look on his eyes. A black cloth was spread on the table, which was quite mysterious. There was an inkstone on the table, and next to it was a fortune teller.
If it were normal for Xiao Buyi to laugh at this, but today it was a little different. He found that he had arrived near Daoxunfang without knowing it, and this Taoist who told the fortune-telling should have come from Daoxunfang.
He got off his horse and walked to the opposite side of the decoction stall. The Taoist got up early, swept the snow on the stool opposite, and smiled and said, "Please sit down, young master."
Xiao Buyi sat down and looked at the Taoist priest curiously. The Taoist coughed, "I see that the young master is clear and elegant, the three stops are moderate, this face is like this, wait. Don't move, young master."
Xiao Buyi had to stay still. The Taoist came over with a face. King Wen looked at Xiao Buyi's face like a gossip. After a long time, the Taoist stood up straight, "The face of this young master is actually the only one I have seen in my life."
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "There are no brothers and sisters, and there are no twin brothers. It is normal for the Taoist priest to have only seen him once."
"Young Master misunderstood." Xiao Buyi joked, but Taoist said seriously: "I am not a big talk. Generally speaking, looking at people's appearance. I first look at the bones. Then look at the five elements. Measure the length of the three stops and observe the profit and loss of the face. The young master's heaven is full, full of spirit, with bright eyes, and balanced yin and yang. It is really a rare person in recent years. You must know that people's faces always have profit and loss, prosperity and decline, roughness, and joy of stagnation. However, the young master has three stops and balanced. Originally, the small mole under the jaw has evil spirits and folds.
, but was resisted by the light of the eyes. It was said that when the young master was born, he might have been properly conditioned after the day of his acquired condition. Now his face is extremely expensive."
Xiao Buyi was stunned and asked for a while: "You said I will live short?"
The Taoist looked at Xiao Buyi for a while and hesitated for a moment, "From the face, it is indeed the case."
Only then did Xiao Buyi take a serious look at the Taoist. "Why would you dare to ask the Taoist priest, when will I die?"
The Taoist laughed and said, "From the small mole under your jaw, the young master should have had a hard time last year, and he might even have life worries. However, the young master's eyes simultaneously resolved a lot of hostility. Now, he is definitely not a short-lived person, and it seems that it is indescribable in the future."
Xiao Buyi thought that this Taoist had some tricks. If there was a difficulty last year, it should be that when he possessed the bandit's son, did this person really make a mistake or happened to be a mistake? He also knew that many fortune tellers were vague, and if he had no difficulty in questioning, there would be another excuse. As for the preciousness, there was no need to say more. As long as he had a little knowledge, he knew that this official uniform was not simple.
"Thank you, Taoist Master Ji Yan, I dare not ask Taoist Master Gao?" Xiao Buyi asked.
"I am Yuan Tiangang." The Taoist priest smiled and said, "If you are interested, you might as well let me take a look at the divination. I think that although the young master is lucky, the eyebrows and forehead are covered with black clouds. I am afraid of a bloody disaster. If you don't deal with it well, there will probably be trouble. Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
When the Taoist saw Xiao Buyi standing there in a daze, he was a little confused and couldn't help asking.
"You said your name is Yuan Tiangang?" Xiao Buyi asked.
The Taoist nodded, "That's true, did the young master hear my name?"
Xiao Buyi shook his head, "No."
He said yes, but in fact he knew Yuan Tiangang. He thought that this man seemed to be a very good person. Everyone said that he was good at fortune telling, but he was famous during the Tang Dynasty. He heard that he was good at reading physiognomy, and he was very surprised. He thought he was a legendary person, but he didn't expect to see him today.
"Give it, let it go." A sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded behind him. A man flashed past Xiao Buyi and shouted when he saw the Taoist, "Master, I can find you."
The man looked dark, not too old, and had a little thin figure. He held a basket and placed it heavily on the table, "Master Taoist, you are such a living god. You said that my wife was going to give birth to a boy today, and she was still a boy. So, I came out everywhere to look for the Taoist Taoist to thank you. You must accept this basket of eggs."
Yuan Tiangang's face looked a little strange. He looked at Xiao Buyi and coughed, "So that's it, then congratulations. You'd better carry this basket of eggs back, as the children need these more."
"How can I carry it back? Isn't this possible? Master, don't think it's too little, this is my dedication." The man was a little anxious and just gave it to him with the basket.
Xiao Buyi thought that it was a human mind to send eggs on this snowy day. After all, it was a human mind. This Taoist priest seemed that fortune telling was really a trick. It can not only be considered death, but also life. How could he be so rigid?
Yuan Tiangang was less elegant and more cramped. "It's not that he thought there was less, but that he really couldn't accept it. Chunfeng, please take the egg back."
The one who asked Chunfeng to send him off, but Yuan Tiangang refused to accept it. The two of them were slightly stalemate, and the basket had fallen to the ground.
Xiao Buyi was blocked by Chunfeng in front of him. Even though he was agile, he had no time to pick him up. When he heard the "bang" sound, he secretly called it a pity, thinking that this egg was not worth much money, and it would be a pity that it was broken.
Unexpectedly, the basket fell to the ground and the eggs actually rolled out in a gushy way. The people named Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were both stunned on the spot, speechless for a moment. Xiao Buyi almost fainted when he saw it.
Seeing that one egg was as intact as iron eggs, and one rolled to his feet, Xiao Buyi couldn't help but bent down and picked up one. He thought that according to the hardness of the egg, it was estimated that only an iron rooster could lay it out.
When he bought the egg, it was heavy like a stone. Xiao Buyi used a little force and found that it was a stone. It was a white stone. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. He had never seen anyone sending stone eggs over. What's the point of this person named Chunfeng?
Looking up, he found Chunfeng's face flushed, with a purple face like an eggplant. Xiao Buyi felt sympathy and thought he couldn't take out the things, so he used a stone egg instead of his heart. He slowly picked up a few eggs under his feet and put them in the basket. Xiao Buyi clapped his hands and stood up and smiled, "Fortunately the eggs are not broken yet."
Chunfeng grew up in surprise, as if he was stuffing five or six eggs in a daze. When he woke up, he quickly picked up the stone eggs and put them back. He only said thank you, young master, and then disappeared. Yuan Tiangang's face looked a little better, and he shook his head and said, "He is a commoner I have seen before. His family is poor. I want to be safe for my mother and daughter. I don't pay for my appearance, so I can only use eggs instead of my heart..."
He can see life and death. He seems to be unable to see through the authenticity of the egg. The wonder is that Xiao Buyi also nodded and said, "So that's it, the heart of Taoist priest is true to the Bodhisattva."
Yuan Tiangang blushed slightly, "Have you asked Mr. Daming yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice rang out again, "Master Yuan, I can find you."
Xiao Buyi turned his head and looked over. When he saw an old man walking over tremblingly, his face was full of anger, and he was a little confused. He thought that he was recruiting people. Yuan Tiangang had lost his life for a day, and it was not as lively as this moment. The old man walked up to Yuan Tiangang with a crutch and sneered: "Master, we are meeting again."
Yuan Tiangang looked a little surprised and smiled in a flash, "The old man is still alive, so it's a joyful congratulations."
"Of course, it's still there. If you are not there, how can you expose the true face of you, a liar?" The old man raised his beard and seemed to be waving his crutches to beat him. However, Yuan Tiangang reached out and held the old man, and smiled and said, "Don't be angry, old man, even if I'm a liar, you don't need to be angry like this. Just say something slowly."
The old man turned his head and looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "Young Master, don't look at him. He is just a liar, he is like a spoiled person and is not accurate at all. According to him, I should have died last year, but look, I am still alive?"
Xiao Buyi was ridiculous and just wanted to hear how Yuan Tiangang answered. Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Old man, I still remember your birth date." He casually reported the old man's birth date. The old man was stunned and just said, "You liar, have a good memory, but you just can't calculate it."
Yuan Tiangang counted his fingers for a while, shook his head and said, "Old man, I'm right."
"Then do you think I am a dead person now?" The old man was furious. Xiao Buyi held the old man and said, "Old man, it's not too late to listen to the Taoist priest's explanation."
Yuan Tiangang
He looked at Xiao Buyi with a strange look and smiled at the old man, "I remember when I met you, you were irritable and could not hear anyone's words. I remember saying that if the old man did not change, he would be afraid that he would not be able to survive last year, but he did not say that the old man would not be able to survive last year."
Although the old man still had his beard sticking up, his face was less angry.
"Old man should know that fate is made by oneself, and blessings are born from the heart. A family of good deeds will have good fortune." Yuan Tiangang looked at the old man with emotion and said, "It is difficult for those who do good deeds to follow the heavens, and I can't let me forget it. I think after the old man saw me, although he didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely do more good deeds after leaving and relaxed his mind. Just talking about the lines on the old man's forehead, the lines on the frown on his forehead have become much shallow. I guess the old man is more happy and less angry in the past few years. The old man's five elements are lacking in water. Last year, he was destined to be a difficult time for water shortage. When he did this kind of good deeds, he had been silently resolving the difficulty of water shortage, and naturally he would not die. In fact, the old man has long been broad-minded. Even if he is looking for me now, I think he is just a joke with me."
The old man turned angry and his admiration became stronger. He actually leaned on a crutch and bowed tremblingly: "Master Yuan, you are really my life-savior. I have no way to repay you. You must accept this feeling."
He took out two strings of money from his cuff and insisted on handing it to Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang did not refuse this time, but just smiled and said, "I want to thank the old man for his kindness. It's cold and cold. Please go all the way."
The old man nodded and left with a crutch. Yuan Tiangang withdrew his gaze and smiled: "I miscalculated, so I am so happy."
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Master Yuan advised people to be kind, why do you laugh at me? It's better to clean up this stall if the cold land is frozen today. How about I go to the Taoist priest's house to drink some wine to warm up my body?"
Yuan Tiangang's eyes lit up. "This is a great word."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Buyi helped Yuan Tiangang clean up the stall. He led his horse and walked to a wine shop to sell some wine and ordered cooked meat. Xiao Buyi saw that Yuan Tiangang was quite poor and probably had a bad business. He took the initiative to buy wine and meat, but Yuan Tiangang did not shirk it. Although Yuan Tiangang was a Taoist, he was not afraid of wine and meat.
When the two entered the Taoist temple, they saw fog everywhere, with a strange feeling. Yuan Tiangang laughed at himself and said, "They are seeking gods, I am a photographer, and Taoism is different."
Xiao Buyi followed Yuan Tiangang to a courtyard. Yuan Tiangang pushed the door and the gate was not locked. Xiao Buyi originally thought that Yuan Tiangang thought money was something outside his body, so he didn't lock it. After entering, he found that the courtyard was penniless. He probably thought that the thief would feel it was troublesome to ask the thief to come and steal it. It was not worth running.
The two set up a stove in the courtyard and roasted the wine and meat. The wine was slightly warm and the meat was cooked and the oil was cooked. Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Please wait, and one more person will arrive soon."
Xiao Buyi didn't ask anyone, just nodded.
"I haven't asked the name of the young master Gao yet," Yuan Tiangang asked with admiration. "I met for the first time just because I was attracted to the young master's face, but now I feel that the young master is quite handsome, and it is really comparable to ordinary people."
"I am Xiao Buyi." Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I think Taoist Yuan is really a perfect match."
Yuan Tiangang was shocked when he heard the three words Xiao Buyi, "Is the young master Xiao Buyi, the grand servant Shaoqing, who is famous in Kyoto?"
Xiao Buyi knew that he was very famous now, but he didn't expect that even Yuan Tiangang knew about it. He bowed and said, "I am ashamed of being a Taifu Shaoqing. He is even more ashamed of saying that he is famous in Dongdu. Master Yuan, you and I met by chance, but they fell in love with each other at first sight. There is no appearance of a great man, but only Buyi and Master?"
Yuan Tiangang's eyes flashed and he nodded slowly and said, "It's good, I'm just forgiven for being disrespectful."
Xiao Buyi smiled, "What are you respectful? I was just a mud-legged a few months ago. I came to find the Taoist priest. In addition to being in a similar mood with the Taoist priest, I actually wanted to ask the Taoist priest for something."
Yuan Tiangang didn't wait for the answer, and there was a loud bang in the gate of the courtyard. A man ran away in a hurry and said loudly: "Master, you don't call me barbecue, you are today..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Buyi sitting beside him and almost jumped up in horror, "Why are you here?"
The man was the one who just gave eggs, and he was holding a basket in his hand, and of course there were stone eggs in his basket.
Xiao Buyi was not surprised at all, but just smiled and said, "I should be asking you this sentence."
The man named Chunfeng slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "You are right, sorry, I went to the wrong place. Look at my memory. My master's house is next door, and I always come to the Taoist priest."
"Your wife has just given birth to a son today, so you run around. Don't wait by her side, aren't you afraid that she will whisper?" Xiao Buyi smiled.
To be continued...
