Chapter 446 Zhong Sheng 1

Zhong Qingyu, a scholar in Liaodong, went to Shandong to take the exam this year. I heard that there is a royal palace in this place, and there is a scholar who has extraordinary magical powers. He can know the past and the future and yearns for it.

After two exams on this day, I visited everywhere, enjoyed the scenery, went to the Tuo Spring, and met a taxi by chance. The Taoist priest is about sixty years old, and he must have a long chest. He is surrounded by crowds and asks about the evil. The Taoist priest pointed casually and carelessly.

Zhong Qingyu saw that the Taoist priest had a good temperament and thought, "Is he the master in the prince's mansion?" I inquired with my neighbors, and it was really him.

Zhong Qingyu was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward, saluted with his fists, and said, "In Zhong Qingyu, I have been looking forward to the Taoist priest for a long time. It's a pleasure to see you today. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "The donor doesn't need to be polite. You and I are predestined in our previous lives. If you don't give up, please talk aside." As soon as he answered, he took Zhong Qingyu's arm, separated the crowd, and left.

The two climbed the building hand in hand. The Taoist priest retreated and said with a smile, "Does the donor want to ask about the future?"

Zhong Qingyu said, "That's good."

The Taoist priest said, "If the donor hits the blessing, he will not be rich and noble. However, in this imperial examination, I was lucky to name it. However, after the return of honor, I'm afraid that there is a gap between heaven and man, and it is difficult to see the hall. The old lady's body is stained, and the blessing and misfortune is unknown.

Zhong Qingyu is filial. When he heard that his mother was seriously ill, he cried and said urgently, "Thank you for your advice. I'm going home now. As for the scientific examination, let's talk about it next time."

The Taoist priest said, "If you miss this time and take the exam next time, I'm afraid I won't be on the list."

Zhong Qingyu said, "My mother's life and death are unpredictable. If I don't see her and die for the old man, what else can I look like? Even if you are your prime minister, what's the use?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Don't worry, the donor. As I said, we are predestined in our previous lives. We should try our best to help each other today." While talking, he put his hand into his arms, took out an elixir, and said, "This medicine is called 'a grain of Tianji'. Send people home and hurry on the road. After taking it, it can prolong your life for seven days. Donor, don't worry about the exam. After everything is done, he will return home. The mother and son still have a chance to meet.

Zhong Qingyu thanked him repeatedly. He cherished and cherished the good pills. He hurried out and thought to himself: "My mother's life expectancy is limited. If she comes home early, she can take care of her for one more day." Thinking of this, I bought a donkey and didn't take the exam. Together with the servant, I immediately returned home.

On the road, the donkey turned around and ran back and beat it with a whip. The donkey did not go away and jumped in place. Zhong Qingyu had nothing to do, so he had to change another donkey. The result was still ordinary. The servant advised, "It seems that God's will. You must complete the imperial examination." Anyway, there is still the last game left tomorrow. Why do we have to fight for it? How about this? I'll send medicine for the prince first. You stay.

Zhong Qingyu was helpless and could only agree.

The next day, Zhong Qingyu answered the file hastily, ran through the starry night, and rushed back to his hometown. Coincidentally, the servant arrived at the same time. The master and servant stepped into the courtyard and pushed the door into the room. The old mother was lingering on the sick bed and dying. Zhong Qingyu took out the elixir and swallowed it with water. After taking the medicine, the old lady recovered and said, "It's time to fall asleep. Yin Si Pluto called me to see him and said: You are not guilty in your life. Your son is filial. I will give you twelve years of life."

Zhong Qingyu was overjoyed to hear the words. A few days later, his mother's face was red, and she was as healthy as before.

Soon, the imperial examination was released, and Zhong Qingyu was on the list. When the good news came, Zhong Qing couldn't help but be happy and said to his mother, "It's all thanks to the help of a Taoist priest to have a child today. You should repay your kindness. The child intends to go to Jinan in person to thank him in person.

The mother nodded and said, "It should be so." So I took some bags and went to Jinan. After meeting with the Taoist priest, Zhong Qingyu said, "I got the help of the Taoist elixir the day before yesterday. I will never forget the virtue of saving my life."

The Taoist priest said, "I heard that the old lady added a long life in the donor's high school. Congratulations. This is all the benevolent and filial piety, which touches God. The poor way is just a little effort. It doesn't have to be like this.

Zhong Qingyu was surprised and said, "The matter of my mother's longevity has not been passed on. How can the Taoist priest know about it? He is really a man of God. Dare to ask the Taoist priest: How about the future?"

The Taoist priest said, "The donor's life is not expensive, but it is not a problem to live to 90 years old. You and I were predestined in the previous life. We were both monks. The benefactor was playful in the previous life, threw stones and hit the dog, and killed a frog by mistake. This frog has been reincarnated as a donkey. In terms of causal reincarnation, the benefactor should have broken his life. It's just filial piety, so you are sound. But my wife was unfaithful in her previous life. I'm afraid that my life will be a disaster, and I can't survive this autumn.

Zhong Qingyu was sad and asked, "Can I marry again after my wife dies?"

The Taoist priest said, "Naturally yes. The predestined man has already come. He is fourteen years old and his home is in Zhongzhou. That's all. It's not early, and it's time for the donor to leave. At the time of parting, I will send you another sentence: If you are in danger, go to the southeast."
