When the boat was halfway through its journey, the sky darkened and large dark clouds covered the sky. The two were a little surprised when they saw this scene. Looking at the sky, it really looked like it was going to rain.
"This day..." the ferryman said in distress. He looked up at the sky and gradually retreated back into the sloop, but still couldn't help but sticking his head out to look up at the sky.
The sky is dark and gloomy. Is it really going to storm?
He no longer believed it. If he really encountered such a scene, even though he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Boatman, who told you about the storm earlier?"
"It's a Taoist priest named Li." The boatman also looked up in surprise, his heart was flustered, his eyes were erratic, but he still said stubbornly: "It's just dark clouds, there's no way it's going to rain."
But he couldn't help but think about what the Taoist had calculated and how seriously those officials took the matter. Could it be that a storm really would come?
If it really happened, wouldn't it be...
The boatman didn't want to go down, and the bamboo pole that was paddling through the waves was no longer as calm as before, but moved a little faster.
Raindrops as big as beans fell and hit the boatman's hat. He looked up at the sky, but before he could wipe off the raindrops on his face, the raindrops covered him on the head, leaving him no time to breathe. They fell like a string of falling beads, making it impossible to cover his eyes.
The tattered straw raincoat could not keep out the chill that seeped into the bones. The wind was blowing hard, causing the lanterns hanging on the awning boat to sway left and right, swinging violently.
The people crossing the river could only hold on to the boat to avoid falling left and right in the boat. The heavy rain hit his face and he couldn't open his eyes. He could only squint and look at the lantern shaking violently. He was terrified and shouted, "Boatman, the rain is going to get heavier. What should I do?"
With such a big commotion, he might lose his life here.
He felt a wave of regret in his heart. It was actually Taoist Li who had calculated this. If he had known, if he had believed the boatman and knew that a storm was coming, he would never have dared to take the boat to Xuzhou.
"Boatman, you know there's a storm, but are you sure you can ride it out?"
But he did not forget what the boatman had said before. Since the boatman took his order, he must be a veteran who could weather the storm.
The boatman, on whom he had placed his hopes, felt unlucky in his heart as he actually encountered a storm.
I looked back at the people in the cabin, then at the endless river. White fog had risen on the river surface, and the scenery in the distance could not be seen clearly.
On this vast expanse of water, there were only him and the other person, nothing else, so he had no way to ask for help. If it were in the past, if the Taoist had not made the calculations, other people would have gone down to the river, and if they had encountered a rainstorm, he would have been able to get on other people's boats and save his life.
The waves were so rough that the boatman could no longer control the situation. He gritted his teeth, looked back at the people in the cabin, and estimated the distance between the two sides and what he was about to encounter.
The wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger, the boat was out of control, and a rainstorm was coming. Soon the boat would be filled with water and would sink sooner or later. But before that, he had to get close to the shore.
Therefore, the boatman shouted: "Pull out water, don't let the boat sink."
"good."
After hearing this, the man immediately did as the boatman said.
The boatman held the bamboo pole tightly in his hand, feeling the rapid flow of water and the surging undercurrent under the water, and the unrelenting rainstorm in the sky.
At this time, the people crossing the river shouted again: "The rain is too heavy, we can't scoop it out."
This sound brought the boatman back to his senses. He looked back and saw that the water in the boat was already above his ankles. If this continued, the boat would sink.
There is no time to hesitate.
The boatman did not hesitate, and immediately threw away the bamboo pole and the straw raincoat. Under the confused and puzzled eyes of the people crossing the river, he only
He left behind the clothes he was wearing and twenty taels of silver and dived into the water.
When the ferryman saw this, he lay down beside the boat and shouted, "Boatman, boatman, please don't abandon me. I still have money on me. Come to the novel and read the latest chapter. (w)?"
Hearing this, the boatman who had already swam far away gritted his teeth, turned back, and asked out of the water: "How many more? (w)?"
"Eighty taels, and eighty taels left, (w)?"
He hurriedly took out eighty taels of silver from his chest. As soon as he took it out, the boatman pressed the side of the boat, reached out and grabbed the money bag. Then he no longer cared about the people crossing the river, dived into the water, and disappeared in an instant.
The person who was left crossing the river was at a loss as the boatman robbed him of his silver. Not only was his boat robbed, but the boat also took on a lot of water because of the boatman's pushing.
Feeling that the boat was going to sink, the man crossing the river regretted and kept scooping water, trying to get all the water out. Just as he was furious, another wave hit, and the boat, without the control of the boatman, was completely overturned by the wave.
The man also fell into the water, struggling and thrashing.
He pried himself from the overturned boat and lay on it, gasping weakly. His whole body was cold and his wet hair stuck to his face. He spat out the water in his mouth and faced the heavy rain. He couldn't help but regret it in his heart. If he had known that it was Taoist Li who had calculated this, he would not have dared to cross the river no matter what.
Now that things have come to this, it’s too late to say anything.
When he was rescued, he said in a confused state: "Don't cross the river, there is a storm. (w)?"
Lin Fuhai looked at the person he rescued and the words he muttered, and immediately became curious. After asking the doctor to heal him, he looked at the clear sky outside and told people not to move too fast.
After waking up, Lin Fuhai asked him why he said that. The man who had just crossed the river said embarrassedly, "I was going to Xuzhou. I found a boatman from Jiangzhou. The boatman said there was a storm, but I didn't believe it. When it really rained, I found out that the storm was predicted by a Taoist priest named Li."
When Lin Fuhai heard that this matter was calculated by a Taoist named Li, he immediately thought of one person, the Immortal Li.
Therefore, he dared not take this matter lightly. He was just about to go to Jiangzhou and would enter the waters of Jiangzhou in half a day.
I don't know if the storm has passed.
Lin Fuhai immediately ordered people to change the route and head to Yangzhou via another waterway.
…
After Li Lezhi returned to Yangzhou, he immediately went back to Miaodao Temple.
Only the vegetables he planted on the ground were gone, everything else was still exactly the same as when he left. Unexpectedly, when he went in, he saw his two disciples in Miaodao Temple.
Li Le was just surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gao Mingli was still sweeping the ashes for the Three Pure Ones, and Qian Xi was preparing offerings. They both heard the noise of someone coming in, and thought it was a pilgrim coming to burn incense, but it turned out to be the master returning.
This time.
Gao Mingli was so surprised that he immediately put down the chicken feathers he was sweeping, walked to Li Lezhi in two or three steps, and said happily: "Master, you are back."
"During your absence, I have been thinking about you in my heart. I don't know the news in the capital, and I thought I would have to wait until the end of February next year to see Master. Master, how are you these days? Have you encountered any problems?"
"Master," Qian Xi also walked up to Li Lezhi, called him respectfully, and bowed.
Seeing his junior brother like this, Gao Mingli immediately bowed again, then looked at Li Lezhi eagerly, wanting to know from him about his experience.
Qian Xi did the same, looking at Li Lezhi quietly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Li Le just said calmly, "Nothing happened." He paused and then asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Gao Mingli nodded repeatedly.
Qian Xi also nodded slightly.
Li Le
Seeing this, he said, "I'll tell you later."
(w)?
Afterwards, Li Lezhi cleaned the place with the two of them first. After putting away the offerings, he took the two of them to burn incense. After everything was done, he walked to the backyard and told them what happened in the capital.

When Gao Mingli learned that Prince An rebelled and died, Zhao State attacked Yuzhou again, and then his master went to Yuzhou, his eyes lit up.
(w)?
He said, "With Master here, Zhao State still wants to attack Yuzhou, but it will end up losing more than it gains, and it will only bring trouble upon itself."
(w)?
"Master, did you calculate all their movements and beat them so badly that they fled in panic and never dared to invade Yuzhou City again?"
"It was calculated, but I didn't fight him. It was Xiao Xuan. As for Zhaoguo, they just didn't dare to fight for the time being. If they are given a chance, they may not fail. Let's not talk about this. I went back to Yangzhou this time because I thought the New Year was coming soon. I didn't expect you all to be in the temple. In half a month, it will be the New Year, and you still have to go home. I thought that the New Year in the temple should be moved up a few days, and you don't have to stay with me on the New Year."
"Master, don't worry. I can spend the New Year with you on that day. My family is in Yangzhou, and it would be troublesome to go back to Yangzhou. Why don't we celebrate the festival tomorrow, the three of us together, and then I can go back to Yangzhou after tomorrow."
Li Le just didn't nod, but looked at Qian Xi.
Qian Xi nodded, "Okay."
"So should we go buy New Year's goods now?" Gao Mingli said happily, "I've already decided what to buy."
He said, "It just so happens that today is the New Year's Market, so we still have time to go down the mountain now."
Li Le only knew that it was the New Year's Market, and he was a little curious. When he came back, he noticed that there was a surge of people, all heading to one place. He hadn't thought it was the New Year's Market yet, but he was also somewhat interested in it, so he said, "Then let's go buy New Year's goods now."
"Okay," Gao Mingli took the lead and walked in front.
Li Le walked only behind him, Qian Xi was only one step behind Li Le, and the three of them got on the carriage first, and then went down the mountain from the other side.
Xiaowu is still the one driving the coach.
Xiaowu was the person who specially protected him after Li Le went to Yuzhou. Gao Mingli and Qian Xi both knew the identity of the person and did not ask any more questions.
After they came down the mountain, a group of people came to Yangzhou City. They first found Gao Mingli's home according to the place calculated by Priest Qu. After some investigation, they knew that the other party was not at home, so they left one person to keep an eye on Gao's house.
The remaining few people scattered and looked for Gao Mingli in Da'an County.
There are not many people wearing Taoist robes in Da'an County. Since Gao Mingli is a Taoist priest, he must be wearing a Taoist robe. He is young and it is not difficult to find him.
After an hour or two, they finally saw a man in Taoist robes on a street. That man was cold and aloof, like a fairy from other world. There was another person following him. He didn't look like Gao Mingli they were looking for, but he was very young. Among these people, only he and another young man were wearing Taoist robes.
As they were scratching their heads, not knowing which person to arrest, they happened to hear someone calling another person in Taoist robes "Qian Xi".
Instantly, eliminate it for them.
There was only one person wearing a Taoist robe left. They looked at each other and observed him quietly. Seeing that the Taoist was lingering over some gossip sellers and sacrificial items, they were even more certain that he was a real Taoist.
They knew that the person they were looking for was correct. They looked at each other and slowly approached the Taoist.
