In the western suburbs of Yanjing, the capital, in a cave halfway up the mountain behind Tantuo Taoist Temple, two old men sat on a stone table with a large wine jar on the table and several side dishes in front of them.
¡°Next time I don¡¯t have meat and I won¡¯t drink with you, it¡¯s boring!¡± One of the red-faced Taoist priests picked up the wine plate and drank it all in one gulp.
The old man was dressed in Taoist robes, with long hair hanging loosely. His face was red, he had an immortal air, and he spoke with a loud voice and full of energy.
"When you get older, you can still drink and eat meat as much as you did when you were young" Another old man was wearing a gray cloth Tang suit, his face was covered with wrinkles, his body was sitting upright like a knife edge, and he spoke breathlessly.
The red-faced Taoist Master happily took another sip of wine and wiped the corners of his mouth casually: "A man of only eighty years old is so weak. Look at me. I can't even eat without two kilograms of meat every day. If you ask me, Just stay on the mountain and I¡¯ll nurse you back to health!¡±
There was a middle-aged man standing next to the stone table. Hearing the words of the red-faced Taoist Priest, the corner of his mouth twitched. In his words, eighty years old was the same as eighteen years old.
If Yi Xiaohai was here, he would definitely recognize this person as Xu Dong, who met him on the plane to Xiangdao. He is responsible for serving the two elderly people.
Xu Dong went to Xiangdao at the end of July to direct the financial defense of Xiangdao. It was not until mid-September that the situation stabilized, and he returned to Yanjing to finish the work. After the National Day, he had time to accompany his grandfather Xu Li to Mount Tantuo to meet him. The red-faced Taoist.
The red-faced Taoist is as famous as the famous mountain. The Tantuo Mountain Taoist Temple is his private property. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he gave up everything, returned to the Taoist temple, and has lived in seclusion ever since.
"I will come back to you when Dong'er gives birth to a great-grandson for me" The old man in Tang suit is Xu Dong's grandfather, Xu Li, who contributed to the founding of the country and is one of the country's top leaders.
"HahahaOld guy, I'm afraid you really have to stay this time" Taoist Master Qi laughed loudly, and asked Xu Dong who was standing aside mysteriously: "Xiaodong, what have you gained from going out this time? ¡¡±
Xu Dong replied respectfully: "Uncle Qi, the person you mentioned before leaving"
"Have you met?" The old Taoist priest looked happy.
"We met, Uncle Qi is really awesome"
Xu Dong wanted to be a soldier when he was a child, to protect his family and country and kill enemies in battle. Just because of a word from an old Taoist, his grandfather arranged for him to embark on an official career. Every step he takes must be approved by the old man. He has always thought that these numerology theories are mysterious. This time he went to Xiangdao and met Yi Xiaohai.
Before going to Xiangdao, the old Taoist told him that this time he would meet the noble person of his destiny, and also gave him 16 words, "I am eighteen years old, born in the cold winter, the yin and yang alternate, and the river goes eastward."
Xu Dong felt that the theory of numerology was too mysterious, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
When Xu Dong met Yi Xiaohai, Yi Xiaohai acted too mature. He didn't regard Yi Xiaohai as an 18-year-old child at all. He didn't pay attention to Yi Xiaohai until he invited Yi Xiaohai to dinner and learned Yi Xiaohai's age and birthday.
The sun and the moon are changes, the alternation of yin and yang is the change, and the eastward direction of the river is the sea. It is completely consistent with the 16 characters given to him by the old Tao. His attitude towards Yi Xiaohai has changed. This is something he cannot explain to Yi Xiaohai. reason.
Qi Laodao enjoyed Xu Dong's praise very much and laughed heartily: "It's still more comfortable to chat with the little monkey. Unlike you, an old man who can't fart with three sticks. You come to me and don't bring any meat. No." Sincerity"
Xu Li and Qi Mingshan were brothers who grew up wearing crotchless pants together. They fought Japanese soldiers together. They had a close friendship and talked very casually.
"Okay, I'll bring you a jar of good wine next time, so tell me"
When it came to business, the old Taoist became serious and asked Xu Dong: "Tell me the date, month, day and hour of birth of that boy"
"Uncle Qi, he was born on December 22, 1980 in the Gregorian calendar, and the time seems to be noon!"
The old Taoist counted with his fingers, his eyebrows stretched, and he showed a smile: "In the year of Gengshen, in the month of Wuzi, on the day of Jiayin, you were born at noon. That's right. The horoscope is the destiny of Quan Yang and the five elements"
"Old guy, I remember you said that there are people with a complete Yin and a complete Yang fate" Xu Li asked puzzledly.
"Hahaha, you only know one but not the other. The only pure yang earthly branches are Yin and Shen. The month this boy was born belongs to the child of the earthly branches. This means he is a fake pure yang and inherited the pure yang destiny. The great luck and the abandonment of the shortcomings of being stubborn are just right for Xiaodong!"
Taoist Master Qi seemed to be in a very good mood. He laughed and drank two bowls of wine in a row, enjoying himself.
"Is he the one who can change Xiaodong's fortune?" Xu Li asked the old Taoist priest uncertainly.
"it's him¡¡"
Xu Li fell into silence.
Xu Li did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism for the first half of his life, but believed that man can conquer heaven.
His son??Xu Hu, Xu Dong's father, went to join the army, but the old Taoist tried every means to stop him but failed. Later, when China went to war, Xu Hu refused to listen to the old Taoist's obstruction and still went to the front line. In 1986, Xu Hu died in battle.
"Little monkey, you have to remember that when dealing with this person, you must treat him with sincerity and don't use your officialdom tactics." Taoist priest Qi reminded Xu Dong again.
"Uncle Qi, please keep this in mind!" Xu Dong responded respectfully.
"Old guy, you have spent half your life in the army, killing too much and being too violent, which will have an impact on future generations. As long as Xiaodong has that noble man, his life will be smooth sailing! You can also put it down and come up the mountain, I will help you Condition your body! Let you live 10 more years!"
This time Xu Li did not refuse. He has no children and his only concern is his grandson Xu Dong. As long as his grandson can be safe, he has no extravagant wishes.
"The 15th session is about to begin. This time I will step down and go up the mountain to keep you company"
Although Xu Li holds a high position, he does not have a huge family bond. When he retires, he will not be so involved. His only concern is his grandson Xu Dong.
"This time I went to Xiangdao, Xiaodong did a good job, and many people noticed it. Now the country attaches great importance to economic development, and the top attaches great importance to talents who understand the economy. They want Xiaodong to go to the bottom and focus on training"
After listening to this, the old Taoist took out three copper coins from his Taoist robe. The copper coins were much larger than ordinary coins. On the front were written the words "Da Song Tong Bao"! These three copper coins are the Song Dynasty Tongbao (when picked up) that can cause looting in the collection market. They are extremely valuable.
"Let's go to Nanjiang Province" The Taoist finished his divination, put away the copper coins, and put them into his sleeves.
"Uncle Qi, he is from Jinling, Nanjiang Province"
Xu Dong¡¯s words verified the power of the veteran, and Xu Li could rest assured: "Old guy, there are still 10 days left. After I retire this time, I will come up the mountain. From now on, we two bad old men will be companions"
"Okay, it's settled, Xiao Liu, please cook me a plate of braised pork"
¡¡¡¡
¡°Ah sneeze¡ah sneeze¡ah sneeze¡¡±
Yi Xiaohai, who was in class, sneezed three times in a row. Yi Xiaohai rubbed his nose. Was someone scolding him or missing him?
What Yi Xiaohai didn¡¯t know was that a thick thigh stretched out towards him
