Zhang Ling did not mention the bad side of the bamboo flute: if the head of the family turns traitor one day and no longer follows the good example but instead does villainous things and causes trouble for everyone, then the bamboo flute will gradually rot, and the family will also fall apart, and will be plagued by bad luck and disasters from then on.
The reason why I didn't say it and concealed it was because if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
This bamboo flute is a great opportunity and also a great test for Gu Erlang and the Gu family.
There is no free lunch in the world, nor is there any opportunity without reason. Whether you can grasp it depends on how you choose and whether you can be consistent and continue to stick to it.
Afterwards, Gu Erlang cordially invited Zhang Ling to sit down and thanked him for telling his fortune for free that day and changing his fate.
Zhang Ling shook his head, politely declining the offer, and said, "It's not the fortune telling that changes your fate, but your heart that always strives for good!"
So, the young man in green waved his sleeves, walked out of the door holding a long pole with a white cloth with the word "Half-Immortal" hanging on it, and disappeared into the night in a short while.
At that time, an elder from the Gu Mansion asked Gu Erlang who the young man in blue was and why he had bothered the head of the family to personally greet and see him off.
Gu Erlang stared at the bamboo flute in his hand and murmured, "Gu family benefactor!"
Without any detailed explanation, he just returned to the house holding the flute, dismissed all the servants, opened the Gu family's cellar alone, hid the bamboo flute with great respect, and then locked it with a copper lock.
——
Under the cover of night, Zhang Ling walked along the mountain on foot.
Behind him, the Shunjiang County City was brightly lit, and the whole country was celebrating.
He said "take care", opened his folding fan, strode away, and left without looking back.
It lasted for more than three months.
The hot summer weather in August and September is so intense that even at night there are winds and heat waves, making the heat unbearable.
I could hear the chirping of countless insects hiding in the dark, squeak and oh-oh. There was a little sound in the east, and then it was higher than a wave in the west, as if they were singing a competition or fighting.
Travel all night again.
It was early morning.
The young man in green clothes came to the foot of a mountain and saw a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. However, it was hidden deep in the forest and was blocked by clouds and mist, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The divine consciousness escaped into the clouds and swept towards the Taoist temple, seeing its true appearance clearly.
Looking at the whole mountain, you can see the majestic scenery with flying clouds and mist, green forests and flourishing flowers, and the picturesque scenery will make you linger.
Outside the gate of the Taoist temple, there is a large stone tablet carved in Mingguang style, on which is written: Zheng Sanguan.
Correct three views?
Who came up with this name?
Such a high level!
Zhang Ling silently commented in his mind and became more and more curious. He immediately stepped onto the stepped stone steps, ready to take a look at the Taoist temple.
Before he took a step forward, he noticed a man in a gray shirt with a sad face walking towards him.
Looking back, I saw that it was a secular pilgrim, short in stature, with ordinary features, muttering to himself, and looking dazed.
Um?
wrong!
Something is strange!
Zhang Ling discovered that the gray-shirted man seemed to have a faint demonic aura about him, and he seemed to be close yet distant. He guessed that he must have had contact with some demonic creature recently.
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, the man was distracted and stumbled down the stone steps. Just as he was about to roll down the mountain, Zhang Ling grabbed him and said, "Brother, watch your step when going up the mountain. Don't be distracted!"
The man in gray shirt woke up as if from a dream, and thanked the young man in green shirt repeatedly with lingering fear. Even so, he still looked absent-minded and sad.
"You look so worried, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Ling noticed a faint demonic aura around the grey-shirted man, and thought of finding a way to investigate a little, so as to learn the hidden truth and see if there was a demon behind the scenes.
The man looked up at Zhang Ling, and shook his head with an "Ah". He felt bitter but couldn't express it.
"That's fine. If you find it inconvenient, I won't force you to do it! I'm just bothering you a little bit."
Zhang Ling bowed and said goodbye, preparing to go up the mountain alone to view the beautiful scenery.
All we can say is that the time is not yet ripe, and we don’t know what happened to the man in gray.
Anyway, both of them are going to the Taoist temple, and they will know when they find out.
"Brother!"
Before he had taken a few steps, he heard the shouts of the man in gray shirt behind him.
"I see that this young man has an extraordinary temperament. Could he be a disciple of the Three Righteous Views?"
Zhang Ling was a little suspicious when he heard this, but before he could speak, he heard the man say, "My name is Ji Jixiao, nice to meet you!"
Ji Jixiao?
Why does this name sound weird?
Correct your three views! Ji Jixiao?
It feels a bit awkward to put them together.
Zhang Ling exchanged names with him, and their conversation made the other party mistakenly believe that he was a disciple of Zheng Sanguan.
Before Zhang Ling could explain, Ji Jixiao replied, "Strange things have happened in my family recently! I've sought help from several Taoist priests, but none of them have been of any use. Then I heard that the Taoist priest of Zheng Sanguan is extremely skilled, so I traveled a long way to ask him to come down the mountain."
"My wife is inexplicably pregnant, and her belly is growing bigger every day. I have a hidden illness, so I can't do that. Only my wife and I know about this, and the neighbors are unaware of it. Now they are all congratulating me on having a child..."
Zhang Ling shook his head, interrupting the other person and saying, "Brother, I am not a disciple of the Zheng Sanguan Sect. I am just passing through here and had nothing better to do than to enjoy the scenery. I am afraid you will misunderstand me and tell me such a secret. If you find out that I am not the Heavenly Master here, I am afraid you will be ashamed and angry."
After he finished speaking, Ji Jixiao looked a little embarrassed, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "It's okay!"
"This matter has been buried in my heart for a long time. If I don't tell anyone, I'm afraid it will rot. I have come all the way here, and I am fortunate to have met you, my dear, and you have offered me help. You are a noble man, and it is only natural that I should tell you about it. My family is far away from here, so I am not afraid of gossip."
Zhang Ling nodded. If that was the case, he would listen to it.
Ji Jixiao sat on the stone steps and said, "One day I pretended to go out to work, but I was actually hiding not far from home. As expected, I found that my wife, who was pregnant, had sneaked out again.
I followed her all the way from a distance, but found that she walked to the water's edge and was flirting with a man. Just as I was about to catch them in the act, I was suddenly surprised to see the man take out a golden bowl from his sleeve and give it to my wife to drink.
At that moment, he seemed to realize that I was hiding in the dark. He suddenly showed an evil smile at me, with two long fangs, and then turned into a rainbow and escaped, hanging far away in the sky.
I was immediately horrified, trembling all over, even my calves were shaking. I thought I had encountered a monster that specialized in picking flowers! I then asked several Taoist priests to come and catch the monster, but they all died suddenly. None of them could defeat the monster!
Although I don't know why the monster didn't kill me, I also want to take advantage of my life to quickly invite a highly skilled Taoist priest to eliminate this monster and relieve my wife from the pain of being bewitched by it! "
After Ji Jixiao finished speaking, he sighed and became even more depressed. Tears welled up in his eyes and he looked very miserable.
When Zhang Ling learned the whole story, he understood. Listening to Ji Jixiao's statement, this monster was suspected to be a rainbow spirit?
The main body is a rainbow?
This is quite interesting!
