After discussing the philosophy of life with the abbot for two days, Ye Xu finally waited for Master Ye.
Mrs. Ye's wife's diplomacy is very effective. When the other's wife told her master after returning home, the master surnamed Cao immediately listened to him.
People who do business are superstitious, especially believe in the God of Wealth. Even in the 21st century, there are many merchants who keep statues of the God of Wealth in their homes, let alone this era. Therefore, Master Cao changed his itinerary without saying a word, and planned to invite him to go to the temple to find an expert to count his fortune after discussing business with Master Ye on the third day.
Now that we are all ready to cooperate, we have to show some sincerity. Naturally, we can't hide this kind of good news, and we have to bring others along.
Master Ye was a little hesitant at the beginning, Buddhists never cared about fame and fortune, how could they change their fortune for others? Talking about things outside the body such as money in Buddhism is a blasphemy to the Buddha.
But seeing Mr. Cao's swearing appearance, he wavered again.
In the end, he still readily agreed to go with Master Cao. Whether it's true or not, Mr. Cao invited him, so he can't shirk it.
As soon as Master Ye stepped into Qixia Temple, Ye Xu found out. He put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look in the direction of Master Ye. Across the courtyard wall and the several halls in the middle, naturally he couldn't see anything, but he still acted as if he really saw something.
"There's a monster aura." Ye Xu's face was slightly solemn.
The abbot was taken aback: "Is there a monster?"
To be honest, he hadn't seen many supernatural phenomena in his life, except Ye Xu's weird appearance. Therefore, even though wealthy families often claimed that there were ghosts and ghosts in their homes, he never really believed them.
The illusory gods and Buddhas seem to be fake and do not exist at all. Although the abbot would not directly say that he doubted that there is no Buddha in time, he actually had doubts in his heart.
Even the existence of Buddha is hesitant, let alone monsters. The abbot has always believed that there are really no goblins in the world.
Ye Xu turned his head and said to the boy Mo Bei beside him, "Go and invite someone here."
"Yes, real person." Mo Bei acted decently.
On the other end, Master Ye and Master Cao entered the temple, first went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and then found a young novice monk and asked him where the eminent monk who could count fortune was. The little novice was at a loss, he had never heard of such an eminent monk in the temple.
Before he could say anything, Mo Bei had already appeared behind the main hall, walked around the screen blocking his figure, and walked over. He came all the way from the courtyard very fast, his feet seemed to shrink into an inch, and the pilgrims and monks along the way were amazed when they saw this, and they couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed the trick of the fairy family.
"Two people who are destined." Mo Bei flicked his whisk and bowed to the two of them, "My real family welcomes you."
Master Ye and Master Cao looked at each other in surprise, why is there a Xiaodao boy here? And according to what he meant, there was also a real person who had arrived at home, and was also behind.
Businessmen dare not offend Daoist real people. After all, the God of Wealth is the god in the Taoist mythology system. They hurriedly followed Mo Bei and hurried to the backyard.
Not long after, the destination arrived. Mo Bei pushed open the courtyard door and invited the two of them in.
Master Ye took a look and saw that in the quiet and elegant courtyard, there were two tall men sitting facing each other. One is an old man wearing cassock with gentle eyebrows, and the other is a young man with a noble temperament in a gossip robe.
Although Ye Xu doesn't look that old, but his demeanor is very bluffing. The two masters did not dare to underestimate them, and saluted them honestly: "I have seen the master, I have seen a real person."
The abbot looked at the two men inquisitively. Is there a monster among them
Ye Xu motioned for them to come and sit down.
"The two of you are here to test your fortune, right?" Ye Xu looked indifferent.
Master Cao hurriedly said: "The real person is sure to calculate, and we are here to measure the fortune!"
Ye Xu glanced at him quietly, and said: "You took over the family's cloth business from your father's generation, but at the beginning, there were many troubles, and there were often small problems with the cloth. Although the business was not affected because of timely detection, it was also annoying. It’s so annoying. After thirty, the business gradually went smoothly, but recently I encountered bad luck and lost two businesses.”
"What the real person said is very true!" Master Cao became excited immediately.
Other things are fine, when he first took over the family business, there were always small troubles, only he and his confidantes knew about it, and he didn't even tell his wife.
Those things are simple to say, that is, after someone ordered a large amount of cloth from them, his confidant was worried about making mistakes, so he checked the cloth again before sending it away, and found that a few of them were damaged. So I quickly removed the damaged one and replaced it with an undamaged one before I dared to send the goods to the buyer.
Since then, he and his confidants have kept a close eye on each shipment, and asked them to check it in private before each shipment. As a result, similar problems occurred several times in a row. Sometimes the fabric was damaged, sometimes it was stained, and sometimes it was the wrong piece of fabric that was not what the customer wanted.
Master Cao has always suspected that it was a villain who caused the trouble, but he has never found out who was behind the trick. He kept it secret just to lure the snake out of its hole. Later, the spy was found out, and he was cheating him by taking advantage of his family.
However, Master Cao did not make the matter public, but found an excuse to deal with the traitor, so Boss Cao can be sure that no third person knows about it.
In addition, he has also had bad luck in his business recently, and he has not told outsiders, only those close to him know. It is absolutely impossible for Ye Xu to find out, after all, his business just failed, and outsiders don't know whether he succeeded or failed when negotiating business.
With these two points, Master Cao was convinced. He didn't have time to wonder why the Taoist priest stayed in the monk's temple, but directly begged Ye Xu to tell him how his fortune would be in the future, and whether his fortune would be ruined by trivial things in life.
"Don't worry, this setback is just God's will. You go back and rest for a few days, and the matter will be resolved naturally. You will grow old in glory in the future, so don't worry." Ye Xu gave him a reassurance, and went to Look at Master Ye, "This master has a beautiful concubine in his family recently?"
Master Ye was a little embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing in Buddhism. He nodded with a polite smile, but the smile was stiff at first glance.
Mr. Cao is not in the mood to care about the purity of Buddhism at the moment, he just thinks that his fate is really good, he can grow old in peace and prosperity, and don't have to worry about his family being ruined halfway. Now seeing Master Ye being asked about the concubine, he immediately teased him.
"Brother Ye, you are really happy. I never heard that you took another concubine."
When mentioning the concubine, although Master Ye was embarrassed, he couldn't help but think of the concubine's appearance and figure. He was a little smug, especially when he remembered that Master Cao's several concubines combined could not compare to the beauty of his family.
Ye Xu didn't tell Master Ye that the concubine was a goblin as soon as he came up, but he also told Master Ye's life first. The abbot, who had been silent all this time, looked at Master Ye clearly, obviously guessing that the little concubine was the monster Ye Xu was talking about.
Hearing Ye Xu's exact account of what happened to him, most of the doubts in Master Ye's heart disappeared. When he asked about his fortune in the future, his heart was full of anticipation, and he wanted to hear Ye Xu say something about his fortune.
However, Ye Xu shook his head regretfully: "Your wealth luck was originally excellent, but there are monsters in your family who cut off your luck. I'm afraid something will go wrong. Not only your wealth luck, but also your descendants luck, peach blossom luck, etc. will all be greatly affected."
"Monster?!" Master Ye was taken aback, "W-what monster?!"
The old god Ye Xu is here: "Naturally, it is a mountain goblin. The Venerable is contaminated with a strong evil spirit. The evil spirit is of no benefit to ordinary people. If you don't deal with it as soon as possible, your life may be in danger."
Master Ye's expression turned ugly: "A real person can be sure? How to get rid of this evil spirit?"
"Naturally, the Venerable Poor Dao has sensed the evil aura as soon as he entered the temple, otherwise he would not have sent his boy to greet him. As for the evil aura, it will naturally dissipate after staying away from the monster. As long as you don't have long-term contact with it, you don't have to worry about it."
Master Cao listened to it for a while, and suddenly gasped: "Dare to ask the real person, is that monster the new concubine of Brother Ye's family?!"
Otherwise, why would the real person specifically mention Master Ye's new concubine, there must be something wrong with the concubine's room.
"That's impossible!" Master Ye suddenly yelled fiercely, "How could Hu'er be a monster?!"
Ye Xu reached out and patted his forehead: "Calm down."
The divine power surged out, instantly calming his agitated emotions. Ye Xu silently sighed in his heart that the divine power is really useful, but it is a pity that the time-space divine power is not the main treatment and state control, otherwise it can directly cure Master Ye's "brain disease", or directly dispel the vixen's bewitching technique.
He withdrew his hand, still looking like an outsider.
And Master Ye woke up suddenly, he felt his mind was clear, the confusion of the previous few days disappeared, and he had already seen the blue sky through the clouds and mist. However, this feeling only lasted for a while, and soon his eyes became cloudy again.
It's just that compared to being confused by the vixen before, he looks much more normal now. The vixen's obfuscation technique is still there, and Ye Xu can't completely remove it.
"If your lord doesn't believe it, why don't you go with me and let you see whether she is a human or a demon." Ye Xu got up, grabbed Master Ye's arm, and teleported into Ye's mansion in the next second. Mo Bei quickly grabbed Ye's sleeve and was taken away together.
At the same time, a player sneaked into the kitchen, took a piece of silver and handed it to the chef who was in charge of chopping vegetables.
"Brother Lin, my lady offended Aunt Hu a while ago, and she is thinking of asking Aunt Hu to have a potluck in her yard in two days to accompany her. Can you tell me what Aunt Hu likes to eat and what she doesn't eat?" What? Lest our lady be self-defeating and offend my aunt even more." He said in a low voice.
This reason is not particularly clever, but after helping the cook collect the money, he doesn't care about it so much. He cheerfully put the money into his arms, he liked this kind of windfall in his heart very much, and when he told the news, he didn't hide anything in detail.
"Aunt Hu likes to eat meat, especially chicken. She..." The chef said a lot, even down to whether Aunt Hu likes salty or light food, heavy oil or less oil, and onions or garlic as ingredients.
Finally, he suddenly remembered something again, and said: "Aunt Hu doesn't eat peppercorns, so she sent someone to pick up some of them two days ago. The new Sichuan cook is still worried. This Sichuan dish doesn't taste like peppercorns. It’s authentic. Let me tell you, my aunt doesn’t want to eat authentic Sichuan cuisine, the most important thing is to suit my appetite.”
The player originally remembered that his head was going to grow big, but his eyes lit up after hearing the last paragraph, and he felt that his trip was not in vain. Originally, I just came here with the mentality of giving it a try to ask Aunt Hu about her taboos, but now it seems that I have found it by mistake.
That's it - pepper!
The player agreed with the chef, then left in a hurry, wondering where to go to buy peppercorns. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not common here in Jinling, and I am afraid it is not easy to buy.
The author has something to say:
Player: I'm so fucking smart!
Ye Xu & Mo Bei:? ?
