Chapter 293： son fortune-telling

is the herb collector?

Chen Ling couldn't help but took a few more glances.

This form of herbal medicine collection, he has only heard from others, and has never seen it before.

He and his father-in-law went into the mountains to collect herbs before. Compared with the herbs we see now, it is undoubtedly a small fight.

The cliffs and cliffs are not an order of magnitude.

"It's amazing. Collecting herbs on such a high mountain is really a group of people with unique skills."

Chen Ling was unable to pass through the mountain fog after all, and when he saw the figure behind the thick fog again, he could only sigh with emotion.

On a cliff of this height, rare herbs are not so hard to find, and they are surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, and the cliff is very smooth.

Being able to risk their lives to move around on these cliffs and dig for herbs, the courage alone is enough to make people admire.

"It's not surprising. There are many drug dealers near Yaowang Temple. The prices are fairer than other places, and they have a good reputation. Many villages and drug farmers who live directly in the mountains sell to them."

Gao Xiulan also looked out of the car window and said, "From now on, I can make a fortune every year from autumn to winter. to get in."

Wang Cunye used to collect herbs like this when he was young. The old lady naturally knew the dangers here better than anyone else, and she was used to it.

These plain words made Chen Ling and his wife shudder. Thinking of Wang Cunye's broken leg, they could already imagine the degree of danger.

There was silence in the carriage for a while.

As the car drives, it gradually drives uphill, and the field of vision increases, and I can see a valley again. There are surging fog and dense vegetation at the bottom of the valley, and there are faint waves of flowing water below, but it is the turbulent river just now.

This is indeed a good view.

makes people really want to put on a pair of wings, fly to the high mountains and cliffs, and fly to the deep valleys to play.

Seeing Chen Ling's joy, her mother-in-law said, "I like to come, and I will come again next year. When Rui Rui grows up, your family of three can come by yourself."

Wang Susu turned her head happily when she heard the words: "Okay, next year we will come to pick up you and dad, our family, and we will take a boat from Fenglei Town."

Chen Ling shook his head and smiled and said, "Which boat will you take? If you don't take a boat, we will also add a car next year. It will be convenient to go wherever you want."

"Bah, brag."

Wang Susu glared at him as soon as he heard it, and said to the son in his arms: "Rui Rui, when you look at your father, you know that you are talking big, just like the old landlord."

It's no wonder Wang Susu doesn't believe it. Nowadays, it's not easy to buy a car, and the most inferior one costs about 200,000 yuan. If you want to buy a good car, let alone.

Although my family makes money quickly, they are not rich enough to drive a car.

Wang Susu said a few words to her son, but the little guy didn't pay any attention to her at all. His eyes just kept looking at the scene moving backwards outside the car window. His eyes were like black grapes, big and bright. He couldn't help but cocked up, looking very happy.

suddenly made her annoyed.

"Okay, Yaowang Temple is here, let's drive into the village."

Gao Xiulan shouted, the Yaowang Temple in front had arrived, and there were more people on the road than before.

"Oh, so you have to enter from here to go to Yaowang Temple."

Chen Ling discovered that to go to Yaowang Temple on the mountain, he had to pass through two small villages.

The first is Xuanyangyu in Baiheling, and the other is Halongkou Village.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people come to Yaowang Temple to offer incense.

There are bikers and some walkers. Most people come here on foot, not even on mountain roads, but over mountains and mountains.

They are all drug farmers, herb collectors, or family members of drug dealers and drugstore operators. The drug dealers and drugstore operators pray for a prosperous business. The drug collectors and the drug farmers are the Lord of the Drugs who bless their families with their lives when they collect medicines.

The simple mountain people rarely see cars, and they watched for a while when Chen Ling drove into the village.

Chen Ling had to park his car at the village committee here, spend some money, and let the village party secretary take care of him before taking his family up the mountain.

Yaowang Temple is located on the hill west of Halongkou.

Crossing the river, climbing up the mountain, when walking to the mountainside, but seeing a smooth platform at the flat place, this is the drying table.

The medicine drying table here is a platform built in a day.

It is a flat and neat piece of rock, unobstructed by other mountains, and the sunshine period is extremely long.

According to legend, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, dried 100,000 catties of medicine here, and transported it to Chang'an by mules and horses via the ancient Qin-Chu road to cure thousands of patients.

The Yaowangzhai where Lao Zhangren is located, and the medicine drying table in front of the village also came from this place. From here, they burn incense and worship the Yaowang respectfully and "please" go back.

There are many related ruins near Yaowang Temple, all related to Yaowang Sun Simiao.

The most famous one is of course the Yaowang Temple. It is more accurate to say that it is a temple, but it is actually called Yaowang Temple.

It’s just that this temple is large and ancient, with a history of thousands of years. The local people have called Yaowang Temple over time, but it has nothing to do with Buddhism.

Nostalgic for a moment at the medicine drying table, Chen Ling felt that this thing was very similar to the white jade-colored boulders that he saw in the river valley when he was quarrying dendrobium in the mountains.

Continue to move forward and rush to the top of the mountain, Yaowang Temple is on the top of the mountain.

The thousand-year-old temple, which has been repaired several times, has been completely preserved. Due to its remote location and residence on the top of the mountain, it has not been damaged in modern times, which is a blessing.

The medicine drying station and the Yaowang Temple go up and down and look at each other from a distance.

It is said that in the past, there was only the medicine drying table on the mountainside. Sun Simiao picked herbs and dried them on the drying table, and there was no fixed residence.

There used to be a big iron bell in Halongkou Village near   . It was used to hold the bell for Longkou.

When Sun Simiao died, the big bell actually flew to the top of the mountain by itself.

The locals said that this was the manifestation of the King of Medicine, and a temple was built here to commemorate this generation of King of Medicine.

After reaching the Yaowang Temple on the top of the mountain, Wang Susu's mother and daughter went to the temple dedicated to Yaowang to offer incense.

Chen Ling hugged his son and walked around in the yard.

After a while, he wandered from the hospital to the outside. In the open space on the top of the mountain outside, there were many medicine bags, medicine pillows, various herbal medicine books, and even those with the name Sun Simiao claiming to cure all diseases through the ages.

Chen Ling looked at it and walked to a painting seller. What attracted him was a landscape painting. On the mountain in the painting, there was an old man leaning on crutches and carrying a medicine basket. It was Sun Simiao, the deity of the King of Medicine.

There are also two lines of inscriptions on it: "Flick away the white clouds to collect herbs, borrow the bright moon to make elixir."

The painting and calligraphy are both good. Chen Ling was delighted when he saw the hunter, and after asking the price, he bought the painting with money. He also looked at the rest of the paintings, but it was not to his liking.

"Little brother, I see your face, you are a blessed person, you bought my painting, I will give you a hexagram."

The owner of the painting booth is a thin old man with a goatee, and he is not tall, no more than 1.6 meters.

At this time, he said to Chen Ling in a very playful tone.

"Give me a hexagram? Don't you want money?"

Chen Ling rolled up the scroll and just said he was going to leave, when he heard this, he looked up at the old man.

"Then I definitely won't charge you, I said it was for you."

The old man's face was straight, and he tapped the calligraphy and painting behind him with a short handle in his hand, "Usually I only sell calligraphy and painting, and I don't give people a fortune-telling. Today, I see you with a wealthy and noble face, and you are a destined person."

Chen Ling laughed when he heard it. He had heard a lot of similar words before, and he had long since disbelieved it.

But there is nothing else to do at the moment, so he asked: "How do you do this fortune-telling?"

The old man said, "It's fine to measure the characters, read the palmistry, and the eight characters of the birthday. You just take a few cards and draw a few cards, and I can calculate them for you."

Good guy, this is big enough.

Chen Ling became interested when he heard this. He pulled a stool from his booth, sat on it with his son in his arms, stretched out one hand in front of him, and said, "Then show me your palmistry."

He originally had a casual and playful attitude, so he didn't take it seriously.

But the old man grabbed his hand and frowned for a while, then gave a general overview of Chen Ling's family situation.

is exactly the same as the death of the father, the loss of the mother, and the fact that he is the only child.

That alone is scary enough.

Chen Ling immediately asked, "Is my mother still there?"

"It's still there, it's just far away from you, don't look for it, it won't do anything good." The old man's eyes were full of meaning.

I don’t know if this is far away, whether it means far away, or something else.

"Can this be seen from palmistry?" Chen Ling was surprised, a little confused, and asked something very unprofessional.

Unexpectedly, the old man nodded and said, "Yes, palmistry can tell that you are separated from your mother and son..."

"Can you see anything else? How will my fortune be in the future?" Chen Ling, who has a magical sun and moon in the sky, is willing to believe in some strange people, so he continued to ask.

"Fortune is prosperous, you are wealthy, and you can be a high official."

"What else? Can you see anything else?"

"Have wealth and power, and the peach blossoms are prosperous. You are the life of attracting bees and butterflies."

“…”

asked a few questions in a row, the more Chen Ling asked, the more disappointed he became, thinking that the old man might only be concerned about family affairs.

The family situation is straight-forward, everything else is a mess.

So I didn’t ask myself any more, I just took the child and gave the child a divination.

"The old man calculates a hexagram, how much is the hexagram gold, can you calculate it for my baby?"

The old man also seemed to feel the change in Chen Ling's attitude, and he was not as prudent as before. He quickly turned around and took a sip of water, coughed lightly, and said, "You can count as a baby, just give a birthday name."

Chen Ling wrote it on the paper and handed it to him.

The old man made a hexagram, and he reacted more than when Chen Ling calculated, and exclaimed: "This baby in your family is incredible. You have a Kui Gang in your life, beat ghosts and scold the King of Hell, and he will definitely be a famous person in the future."

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this, these fortune tellers couldn't make it clearer.

"That is to say, such a child grows up with a strong yang energy, is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and has to avoid ghosts and spirits when they see it. In the past, no matter what, he had to be a great general who charged into battle."

The old man shook his head and said.

"Well, that's right. This name is not very good, and it is not good to use this name. I can change it when I go back."
