Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

What is auspiciousness? Auspiciousness can be a good citizen who is willing to help others, an upright and upright remonstrator, or a mythical beast that protects a party.

There are levels of auspiciousness, from small to large: lower auspiciousness, middle auspiciousness, upper auspiciousness and greater auspiciousness.

According to different levels, the power of auspiciousness will also be different.

For example, Xia Rui is equivalent to an ordinary person who is willing to help others, a devotee who is willing to donate money, and a soldier who guards the country. Almost anyone can become a Xia Rui.

As for Zhongrui and Shangrui, they are people, animals, plants, and other things that know some mystical skills. They are good at using their own mystical skills to help others. Dali are the legendary mythical beasts that can bring good harvests, dispel illnesses, and protect a party - such as unicorns and phoenixes.

After Dali is born, they will know that they must become auspicious. They will strive towards the goal of auspiciousness throughout their lives. Only when they are recognized by heaven and given the name of auspiciousness can they achieve positive results.

True auspiciousness, they have the incredible ability to make dry riverbeds swell, revive dead crops, and protect the people of a place. And the source of their abilities is not only themselves, but also merit and incense.

The story I want to tell now revolves around a "half-demon" little girl who became Xiangrui. So next, let me tell you.

The white-bearded old man watched the woman in front of him gradually turn into golden light that filled the sky, and finally disappeared from the world.

From the beginning to the end, the old Taoist's eyes, as deep as ancient wells, never showed any surprise, as if the woman's disappearance was inevitable and he just came to take a look.

The old man sighed and glanced at the little girl standing next to him. The little girl was about seven or eight years old. Her hazel eyes were like moist gems and she was looking at the old man curiously.

The little girl was not sad when her mother disappeared, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

She said: "Where is my mother?"

The old Taoist said: "There should be no personal relationships in auspiciousness. Because of personal relationships, your mother died because of you. You should remember it."

The little girl nodded, remembering it. The old Taoist touched his beard, which was as thick as a whisk in his hand, and said, "As Da Rui, you should understand your responsibilities."

"Yes." The little girl replied, "My goal is to become as lucky as my mother."

The old Taoist asked with a smile: "So, do you know how to become auspicious?"

While the little girl was thinking, she took a look at the scalper who was carrying the old man on his back. The scalper was chewing grass in his mouth, looking leisurely and contented.

Maybe she figured it out and said, "Drink water, eat fruits, and play."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. The scalper stopped chewing, and the breath from his nose hit the little girl, as if to tell her: Your answer is wrong.

"It seems that while your mother is auspicious, she did not tell you how to become auspicious. She is really negligent." The old Taoist said, getting off the cow's back and walking to the girl, "Follow me, and I will teach you how to become auspicious." .”

The little girl looked up at the old Taoist who was wearing a white robe and his face was full of kindness and gentleness. She nodded, reached out and grabbed the old Taoist's sleeve and said, "I'll go with you."

"It's so simple..." The old Taoist watched the little girl slowly climb up the cow's back and thought to himself, "This child is used to staying in the mountains and fields. I'm afraid she doesn't know human nature. I'm afraid she has a long way to go before she can become auspicious." …”

A few days later, they came to a city gate. The city gate was open and many people were coming and going. However, they only needed to accept the inspection of the city gate guards and stay for a while before entering the city.

The little girl was sitting behind the old Taoist, leaning on the old Taoist's back, and was nibbling on a piece of cake, making her hands and mouth shiny. The old Taoist shouted from afar: "Chen Xunwei!" A man wearing red heavy armor and holding a spear ran over.

Chen Xunwei cupped his fists and saluted the old Taoist, "Taoist Changqing, Master Li Zheng has received your letter."

"That's good." The old Taoist stroked his beard, "Let's go into the city."

"Yes." Chen Xunwei turned around and walked towards the city gate. The scalper seemed to be humane and followed behind Chen Xunwei without anyone holding him.

Arriving at the gate of the city, the other guards also clasped their fists and saluted Lao Dao, who also smiled and saluted back one by one.

When they arrived in the city, the old Taoist and the girl got off the back of the cow. The scalper raised his head and said "moo" to the old Taoist. The old Taoist smiled and said, "Go ahead." The scalper ran away not far away, followed by A buffalo frowned.

The old man led the girl and walked down the street. There were many buildings on both sides of the street, all with black tiles and red walls, or gray stone and wooden walls. As people came and went, the girl looked around curiously.

"Hey! It's Taoist Priest Changqing! Long time no see!"

The old man turned his head following the sound. A round-faced man in green clothes standing next to the cage smiled innocently at the old man.

The old man walked over and said, "Boss Li, long time no see. How are you doing?"

Steam was rising from the cage, and the aroma wafting from it attracted the girl who was in a daze. She pulled the old man's sleeve and said, "What's in here?"

Boss Li looked at the girl and immediately smiled and said, "This girl is so pretty. Is she your granddaughter?"

"Half of it." Lao Dao said, "She is an orphan. She encountered bandits on the road and killed her parents. I happened to pass by and dealt with them. It seems that I am destined to be with her, so I took her with me."

"That's right..." Boss Li scratched his head. Seeing the girl staring at the basket, he must be hungry, so he opened the basket and took out a piece of snow-white steamed bun and handed it to the girl.

"Take it," the old Taoist said, "remember to say thank you."

The girl held the warm steamed buns in her hands, said "Thank you" crisply, and started to eat.

The old man rubbed the girl's head and said, "Boss Li, how is your son doing lately?"

"Of course!" Boss Li couldn't help but grin when he thought of his child, "He is just like me, fat and strong, and has been studying in a private school for the past three years."

"That's fine." The old man nodded, "Don't let your son go near water these days, be careful."

"Don't worry!" Boss Li patted his chest, "I promise not to!"

The old man took the girl away, and before leaving, he put a sharp tooth on Boss Li's table - a sharp tooth and a piece of steamed bun, which was very affordable.

They walked across a bridge, and the girl stood on tiptoes and looked under the bridge. The river that should have been gurgling now only had a green-black wet riverbed.

After crossing the bridge, they stopped in front of a mansion. Because they had important matters, Inspector Chen left when they arrived here.

"Taoist Priest Changqing." A gatekeeper saluted with clasped fists, "Master Li Zheng has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Well, let's go." The old man patted the girl who was staring at the stone lion with his hand. The girl nodded, pulled the old man's sleeve and stepped into the house.

The mansion has an open environment, and there are guards wearing silver armor and holding long swords patrolling, and there are also horsemen passing by with two bales of hay on a cart.

But they didn't come here just for fun. Following the lead of an entourage, they came to the door of a two-story building.

The attendant said at the door: "Master Li Zheng, Taoist Changqing has arrived."

The closed door was pushed open, and the person who came was a man wearing green clothes, a black gauze hat, and a long beard like the old Taoist.

Li Zheng excitedly held Lao Dao's hand and said, "Changqing, long time no see. How are you back?"

"Very good." The old Taoist said with a smile, "Look, this is the descendant of Xiangrui I was talking about."

Li Zheng glanced at the girl hiding behind Lao Dao, and then said: "Let's go into the house to talk about this matter."
