Chapter 916 Despair

Chu Huan turned his head and saw a Taoist priest holding a hexagram banner in his hand walking towards him.

He had a cloth bag hanging on his shoulders and was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe. The hexagram banner in his hand had been rolled up. He was smiling and coming here. Chu Huan looked at it a few times and immediately recognized that he was Taoist Master Hongyu.

Taoist Master Hongyu is Chu Huan's acquaintance. The two met in the house of Chu Huan's sworn brother Pei Ji. The words were shocked. At this time, Taoist Master Hongyu had already come over. Chu Huan had already bowed and smiled and said, "Hello Master Taoist!"

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "Is this a private visit by Lord Chu?"

Chu Huan looked down at his clothes and smiled and said, "Chu can't go shopping in an official robe, right?" He knew that Taoist Hongyu had a divination stall in this Sanyuanfang, so it was not strange to meet him here.

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled slightly, stared at Chu Huan's face, frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Chu, your complexion seems to be very bad?"

Chu Huan raised his hand and touched his face, and smiled bitterly: "I have not looked very good lately?"

Taoist Master Hongyu shook his head and said, "Master Chu, you didn't hear me. I see that there is bad luck between your eyebrows, and I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster!"

Chu Huan was shocked. He was very familiar with this sentence. Whenever fortune tellers want to arouse people's interest, they always have to exaggerate and attract other people's attention. If they were a Taoist priest who had never met each other, Chu Huan would at most ignore it and just pretend to be in front of him. However, when Taoist Master Hongyu said that Chu Huan could not show suspicion, but just smiled and said, "Chu's luck has always been not very good, and blood disaster may not be gone."

Taoist Master Hongyu approached and lowered his voice, "Dao Dao said a long time ago that your fate violates the law of heaven. If you had disappeared early, you might be able to live a peaceful life, but you just don't have the will to retreat. Along the way, blood will always accompany you." He stroked his beard gently, "It's just that the evil spirit between Lord Chu's eyebrows is too heavy, and a great disaster is coming..." He sighed softly.

Chu Huan said helplessly: "Does Taoist Master have a way to crack it?"

"Mr. Chu, you still owe me a drink." Taoist Master Hongyu changed his mind and said with a smile: "Last time, Lord Chu said he didn't bring any money for wine, but this time I don't know...!"

Chu Huan touched his nose, looked around, and said, "The restaurant seems to be closed. Oh, there is a music shop in front of him, and there must be wine in it. But the Taoist monks are not sure what to do!"

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "I don't care about gossip, but drinking is pure. The winery is too noisy. If Lord Chu has time, it's better to sit in the humble house!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan asked, "Where is the Taoist priest's noble residence?"

"There are no noble people who become monks?" Taoist Master Hongyu laughed, "Next to Sanyuanfang is Jishanfang, which is not as prosperous and lively as this place, but the journey is not far, and you will arrive after a walk."

Chu Huan nodded with a smile, and the two walked towards Jishanfang. Chu Huan asked, "By the way, Taoist priest is a good idea. I remember when we met last time, a friend of Chu seemed to be looking for Taoist priest to tell fortunes?"

"Friend?" Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, that lady...well, she should be called a girl, her appearance is extraordinary."

Chu Huan was stunned. Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "I am also a person who is almost fifty years old. How many mountains, rivers and rivers have passed through and how many worldly beings have seen? Can't even tell a girl disguised as a man?"

The friend Chu Huan mentioned naturally refers to Mrs. Liuli. After the little princess disappeared, Mrs. Liuli was worried. She even came to ask for divination in the previous episode, wanting to know if the little princess is safe.

Chu Huan could only smile, and then felt that Taoist Master Hongyu was a little strange in his words, and asked, "Why did Taoist Master call her a girl? She is not young."

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "Master Chu should understand better than me." He smiled without saying anything.

Of course, Chu Huan was not a stupid person. He immediately understood and was a little surprised. He thought to himself that Mrs. Liuli was the person around the prince. He had seen before that the prince and Mrs. Liuli seemed to have a very good attitude. However, Master Hongyu's words seemed to say that Mrs. Liuli was still a virgin, which made Chu Huan feel a little incredible.

Mrs. Liuli has a beautiful country and is unparalleled in both appearance, figure and temperament. She is like a pure night pearl. Although she looks clean, she is full of bright light. The stunning charm that naturally reveals can make any man distracted. Chu Huan dares not even deny that she had ever been moved by Mrs. Liuli.

Such a beautiful lady in the country is already the prince's concubine, but she is perfect. Chu Huan really couldn't believe that the prince was disabled. Could it be that the prince was not just a pair of legs?

Chu Huan was surprised, but Taoist Master Hongyu had already walked and asked, "Master Chu, why did you mention your friend?"

"Oh, she asked you to tell fortunes for someone before." Chu Huan asked, "The Taoist Master's divine tricks can he calculate the safety of that person now?"

After the little princess disappeared, the emperor sent a divine guard to search for it secretly, but there was no whereabouts. The palace prohibited the public from showing this matter. Chu Huan was often worried about the situation of the little princess. According to principles, no one could have the ability to enter the palace to capture the little princess. The missing princess is very likely because she was secretly running away alone because she wanted to avoid the marriage with Xiliang. However, where this little girl is now, it is very worrying.

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "Yin and Yang, the universe is mysterious, and some mystery is the secret of heaven. It cannot be said to make it clear. If you say it out, it will be unsatisfactory if you break the secret of heaven."

Chu Huan doesn't like this unpredictable mystery and can do nothing.

On the way, he saw a shop that was about to close. Chu Huan went to sell two kilograms of good wine and sold cooked vegetables here. Chu Huan bought two kilograms of cooked meat. Seeing that Taoist Master Hongyu was a monk, he didn't know if he could eat meat at that time, so he bought some peanuts. He knew that this was a fortune teller and he didn't necessarily have enough money on his hands. Although he was visiting Taoist Master Hongyu's house, Chu Huan came by himself.

Master Hongyu didn't say much, bought good things, and walked for a while, and arrived at a secluded alley. He came to a small courtyard. The gate was dilapidated and unlocked. He pushed the door open and entered. It was a very narrow courtyard. The yard was empty and looked very clean. The so-called clean means that he could not see anything and looked very poor.

Taoist Master Hongyu lit the lights in the house and invited Chu Huan to go in. It was also very simple. There were two small chairs beside a shabby small table. Taoist Master Hongyu hung up a cloth bag, then sat down opposite Chu Huan, and smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, you have a noble status and you are so despicable that you are so aggrieved."

Chu Huan liked the quietness here and said with a smile: "The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, but there are immortals, but there are dragons, but there are spirituals. There are Taoist priests living here. If it is the Immortal Palace on Earth, it will not only be aggrieved, but Chu has disturbed him."

Taoist Master Hongyu laughed and said, "The mountains are not high, but there are immortals, but there are famous things, but there are waters, but there are dragons, but there are spirits. Master Chu said this wonderfully, a guy as arrogant as Pei Ji. It is really not a coincidence that he can make sworn brothers with Master Chu."

Chu Huan said sadly: "Has Taoist Master ever heard from Brother Pei?"

"Pei Ji?" Taoist Master Hongyu said strangely: "Master Chu has not had any news about Pei Ji?" He paused and said: "When he left the capital, he did not tell me. I later learned that he was no longer in the capital."

Chu Huan sighed lightly: "It has been more than a year since he left the capital, and I have never had any news about him."

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him. Although Pei Ji is a cripple, even a hundred warriors may not be his opponent. He relies on his brain. God is fair. He lame one leg but gave him wisdom that ordinary people cannot match...!" He took the initiative to pour wine with the bowl, opened the food wrapped in oil paper, and smiled and said, "Come on, Lord Chu, let's have a few drinks this time."

The two of them drank it all in one go, Chu Huan put down the wine bowl and said, "How is Taoist priest's business good?"

Taoist Master Hongyu said helplessly: "Of course, Lord Chu can see that if his business is good, he will not be so down. He can only eat a bowl of rice. When the lame man was there, he could often go to him to have a meal, but now there is no place to make a meal."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "The Taoist Master is a master of magic and mastering the universe, how can he have no business?"

"In the past, business was not good because there were too many fortune tellers in the capital." Taoist Master Hongyu said: "The business is not good now, because everyone is wary of our Taoist priests. When Tianmen Dao starts to make trouble, it is like Taoist priests in the world are all traitors. Even the street Taoist priests who tell fortunes are not safe. In every few days, an official sentencing comes to ask questions. You said that a Taoist priest who tells fortunes was questioned by the servants every few days. When others saw it, they thought that something had happened. Who would come to tell fortunes for you?"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Is it so strict now?"

"Master Chu should be clearer than me." Taoist Master Hongyu smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Heavenly Master Dao and the Heavenly Master Dao are separated by word of word, the black and white are clear. However, now, except for the Heavenly Master Dao disciples who served the emperor to refine alchemy and practice Taoism, all the Taoist priests outside the palace are the targets of suspicion by the government. Several Taoist temples in the capital have been sealed, and the Taoist disciples were ordered not to debut in the Taoist temple. I heard that the same situation is also true in the local area. When officers and soldiers meet Taoist disciples, they always have to ask questions and find out where they come from before. As far as I know, many Taoist disciples who were in the capital before have returned to secular life."

"Since the business is not easy to do, why doesn't the Taoist priest do other things?"

"I am nearly fifty-year-old, and I can't do anything other than knowing the mythology of the mysterious gate." Taoist Master Hongyu drank half a sip of wine, "I can't pick my shoulders and carry them. If it were not possible in the past, I really couldn't find a family Taoist temple to register. Although I was not free, I would never starve to death. However, now each Taoist temple is more nervous than the other. Taoist disciples are more secular. Taoist temples cannot be asked for. If there are fellow Taoist registrations, it would be too late to get there." He shook his head and sighed, "I have been telling fortunes for more than ten years, and I don't know how many people have counted their fates, but I have counted thousands of people, but I can't figure out what I will do in the future... I can count people but not myself...!" A long sigh was full of sighs.

Chu Huan laughed and said, "The Taoist priest said that human destiny is determined by heaven. In fact, since heaven is destined by fate, what can I do if I know it?"

Taoist Master Hongyu smiled and said, "Aren't you, Lord Chu, just a person who wants to go against the will of heaven and change your destiny? Ordinary people may not be able to change their destiny, but your destiny is a destiny in itself!"
