Chapter 44

After hearing what Chen Yuan said, the Taoist priest spread his hands, "To be honest, although the method of holy sticks is very simple, how many people know about it now? Even if you put the holy sticks on, no one will use them at all. Just burn incense and mess around." Now, it doesn’t make sense for Shengji to mess around. So we think, instead of letting everyone mess around, it’s better not to let it go.”

Chen Yuan felt sorry for her, Taoism was on the decline.Now a group of people believe in Christianity, and Buddhism is also very prosperous. There will be things in the shape of Buddha statues in jewelry stores and other places, but Taoism seems to only see their shadows in places like Taoist temples, otherwise it is Fengshui fortune-telling. Class up.Under such circumstances, it is indeed impossible to retain people's understanding of the holy stick, and it is no wonder that the Taoist priest directly removed the holy stick in desperation, leaving only the lottery that ordinary people are interested in.

"Actually, the lottery is the same. Some people think that it can help them see the future almost like fortune-telling, but most people who travel here don't just follow the crowd? Whether it's lottery or other things, it's all trouble. I'm just having fun." The Taoist chief said, casting his eyes on the person who was waiting to unwrap the lottery, curling his lips.

Chen Yuan really understands this kind of helplessness, as if many people regard fortune-telling, feng shui and other methods as entertainment, and run to tell their fortunes every now and then.This kind of behavior looks very stupid in the eyes of sensible people.Fortune-telling is not something that can be done casually, and too many calculations will harm the fortune-telling person, and it does not appear dignified.What are you doing so many times?Do you have to calculate the result you want?If so, what's the point?

"The lottery is drawn here, have you gone to place a lottery?" Chen Yuan asked again.Usually, there are one hundred lottery in the lottery tube, there are three kinds of upper, middle and lower. Everyone wants to get the upper lottery than the lower lottery. The lottery is taken away, and only the better lottery is left, and all the lottery signs are auspicious, so as to cater to the public's psychology.But how could everything be good about the incident?Even if these signs were accurate at the beginning, after being manipulated like this, they can only be regarded as tricks for fun.

"Of course I didn't go." The Taoist priest smiled and said, "The ups and downs are the life."

"Aren't you afraid that no one will come to ask for a signature?" Chen Yuan also laughed.

"There is no shortage of that little money!" Why cater to these people's psychology for so little money to ask for a lottery?The Daoist has always disdained these things.

Here, Chen Yuan and the Taoist priest had a good conversation, but the others might not understand what they were talking about, so they wandered around in the hall.Qin Zui and his wife and Yu Shenliu were talking very formally, Yu Shenliu kept looking in Chen Yuan's direction, Huo Jian ran left and right, looked all over the hall, and then stood at the spot where the lottery was released Beside the table, I watched a few little Taoist priests unwrap the lottery with great interest-this feeling is similar to watching the master usually use various receipts.After looking at it for a long time, when I looked up, I saw Sheng Kong and Huo Shu standing together, not knowing what they were doing.

Instantly upset, Huo Jian ran to Huo Shu and grabbed her arm, "Sister, why don't you ask for a lottery too?"

"Ah?" Originally talking to Sheng Kong, Huo Shu was a little dazed when Huo Jian called her that.Ask for a signature?She looked at the group of people waiting in line to release the lottery, and silently looked away.

Are you kidding me, squeeze over there?Whether it is asking for a lottery or fortune-telling, there is a master by your side, so why bother to be here?

"Sister, sister, go!" The protracted ending sounded coquettish, Huo Jian just didn't want her sister to stay with Sheng Kong.This Shengkong is smaller than my sister, right?And it took too much to pass the test, and he was not on the same level as someone like his sister, so he was not happy that this guy was close to his sister.Although Huo Jian would choose Sheng Kong compared to Rong Yan, but it's not interesting to raise one by one, right?

"I don't know if it's true or not, it's unnecessary." Huo Shu shook her head, unwilling to move.

Huo Jian frowned, "Not allowed?" After thinking about it, he immediately ran to the side of the main hall under the Zhuzhu, first smiled at the Taoist priest, and then said to Chen Yuan: "Master, will you solve the lottery? "

"Unlock the lottery?" Chen Yuan blinked, "I know a little bit." After all, there were these things in the Taoist temple where he grew up, so of course he would.

"Then I'll ask my sister to ask for a lottery. Master, can you explain it? Uh, uncle will pay you!" At first, Huo Jian was thinking about whether to pay by himself. After all, he now understands that there must be exchanges in metaphysics. But when he thought of the price of Chen Yuan's offer, he immediately decided to let Yu Shenliu, treat it as pocket money from his uncle to his niece, although the money was not small.

However, Chen Yuan shook his head, and looked at the Taoist priest, "I'm not here to pick a place, this is the Taoist priest's place, since you are here to ask for a lottery, you must abide by the rules here. If you want to ask for a lottery, please go there Let some of you get rid of the lottery." This is an unspoken rule, and whoever is on the ground will act according to his rules.If a person's fortune has already been approved by a fortune teller, the other person should avoid the situation of reapproving it by himself. This is an offense to the previous fortune teller and is very taboo.And if someone who reads Feng Shui encounters Feng Shui arranged by others, it is also a great taboo to change it arbitrarily, even if the other party is intentionally harming others or the like, he should not do it lightly, otherwise he will be completely hostile to the other party.Chen Yuan didn't say that he had never met anyone with real skills before, but now that he was in his place, he had to help him undo the lottery, which was too much.

"Ah..." After hearing what Chen Yuan said, Huo Jian was a little disappointed, but he knew that what Chen Yuan said basically had no room for return, even if he acted like a baby, he couldn't help it, so he could only sigh.

But at this time, the Taoist priest said: "Fellow Daoist, I'd be happy to see what your methods are. Besides, with you here, it's good to be able to give those juniors some guidance."

Although Chen Yuan was not very old at first glance, he was not as old as the little Taoist priests who unwrapped the lottery over there, but after all, it was a question of temperament. In the eyes of the Taoist priest, Chen Yuan seemed mature and stable, and he felt that he was the same age as himself. It was easy for Chen Yuan to give instructions to the few people over there.

Seeing that there was a turning point, Huo Jian immediately cheered up and persuaded Chen Yuan: "Master! You see that the Taoist priest said so, so you just undo it!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Yuan answered Huo Jian: "Okay."

As soon as Chen Yuan agreed, Huo Jian ran to Huo Shu's side again, squeezed Sheng Kong away, grabbed Huo Shu's arm and said, "Sister, Master has promised to help you untangle the lottery, go and ask for one!"

Master Chen Yuan made a move?As a result, Huo Shuyi moved.And Chen Yuan and Taoist priest also came over at this time.

"Go ask for a lottery." Chen Yuan said, "But before that..." He looked at the Taoist priest, "I still want Shengji."

The Taoist priest laughed, picked up the yellow cloth on the altar, and took out the holy shackle from underneath.

Looking at these utensils, Huo Shu was a little confused, she didn't quite understand what to do.Can't help but look at Chen Yuan with a hesitant expression.

At this time, everyone in the hall noticed this place, and everyone looked at Chen Yuan and the others curiously, not knowing what they were doing.Yu Shenliu also finished his boring chat with Qin Zui and his wife, and stood next to Chen Yuan, seeming to inadvertently separate the others.

"Respect the gods first." Chen Yuan said, signaling Huo Shu to prepare the incense, and then told Huo Shu in detail how he used the incense just now. The rituals that have been passed down for many years always have a reason. Xiang shakes a lottery, what's the difference between that and playing?Is there still a need to let myself undo the sign?

Huo Shu followed Chen Yuan's instructions, and other tourists also noticed that this was the standard practice for teaching Shangxiang, and immediately someone imitated it with great interest.

The other Taoist priests watched Chen Yuan instruct Huo Shu to do it step by step, and they were also curious, how could this person know the standard method?And the uncle is right next to him, so is this a tall man?

After Huo Shujing finished incense, Chen Yuanfang continued: "Pick up the stick, kneel on the futon, thinking about what time it is today, your name, Laojun's name, what you asked for. Think clearly, and then take Put the lottery cylinder flat and shake it around a little, don’t move too much, and wait until a lottery falls out naturally.” Actually, there is no need to elaborate on the movement of lottery drawing, but just now Chen Yuan saw the crazy movements of several people shaking the lottery cylinder, which is almost the same as shaking the lottery. childlike.

Huo Shuyi's face was a little flushed according to her words and deeds. In the eyes of others, it could be seen at a glance that what she was thinking was probably marriage or something like that.After shaking for a while, one of the sticks fell off, and Huo Shu picked it up.

"See which lottery it is, and put it back." This is for the convenience of other pilgrims asking for a lottery, so they have to put it back. Although almost everyone is watching their actions now, the ceremony should still be done as usual.

Then, Chen Yuan asked Huo Shu to pick up the holy stick.

"Come on, ask Laojun in your heart if what you are asking about is the lottery just now, and then throw the holy stick in your hand."

Others finally kind of understand how this thing they can't understand works.I saw Huo Shumo read something, and then threw the holy stick to the ground.

Pros and cons, the Holy Grail.This is the right sign.Chen Yuan nodded.Sometimes the Holy Dagger has to be thrown three times, but here one is enough.

The Taoist priest watched Huo Shu complete a series of standard movements under Chen Yuan's guidance, so he said with a smile: "What lot is the little girl asking for?"

"Ah...it's lottery No.19." Huo Shu replied.

"No. 19 lottery..." After a little thought, the Taoist master recited the signed text, "No. 19 lottery is Liu Zhiyuan's Yue family, and the signed poem is: I have never got the right time, this year's star luck is quite suitable; I hope that all the actions are satisfactory, and the marriage will give birth to a precious child." Then, he looked at Chen Yuan, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

Chen Yuan also smiled, looked at Huo Shu, and winked at her, "This lottery is Shangji lottery."

Huo Shu's face immediately showed a look of joy.Although it is not uncommon to get a lottery, the people around still made a small voice saying that Huo Shu was lucky and got the lottery or something.Now almost everyone is waiting to see the follow-up of Huo Shu's request for a lottery.

"What you're looking for is marriage?" Chen Yuan asked knowingly again.

The author has something to say:

Shengjiao, 筶gao, and similar things are two things in the shape of Taiji Yinyang fish or half moon. One side is flat and the other is protruding. Some people will think of fz, and some people will think of Christianity) This thing is used before the gods to ask for something and see if the gods answer or not.It is a very formal thing that cannot be played around easily (in fact, in general fortune-telling, ancient literati would use grass stems to form hexagrams when drinking and then test each other or compose poems on the subject of Zhouyi. After all, the Book of Changes is an important ancient book, think about it. Super Fengya) The two shades are called laughing cups, meaningless sneers, good and bad.The two yang are called Bu Wubei, which means that the gods do not agree to your request.One yin and one yang are Bu Youcup, which means that what you are asking for is blessed by the gods.Usually it falls three times like this, you should have seen it in TV dramas...

There are many kinds of lottery, Guanyin lottery, Guan Shengdijun lottery, Huang Daxian lottery, generally there are one hundred lottery signs.Most of them are signed by an event in history, and then use this event as a metaphor for good and bad fortune.There are differences between different signatures, but the historical events of some signatures are consistent.This chapter uses Guan Shengdijun's lottery because Ci'er doesn't ask for lottery, so he doesn't know much about the lottery used by Taoist temples.

And Ci'er really doesn't know how to solve the lottery. The writing is based on the plot so it goes smoothly. In reality, don't ask me to solve the lottery. I can only answer that I don't know.
