Outside the burning moon city, a barefoot old man with simple green Taoist robes and white hair and beard slowly came.
The old man was holding a piece of canvas with four big words' Tongshen 'and' fortune telling 'on it.
When he appeared at the gate of the burning moon city, the barefoot old man paused slightly, looked up at the snowy burning moon city in front of him, and his face full of vicissitudes showed an extremely deep smile.
"After waiting so long, this day finally came."
After a pause, the barefoot old man walked into the burning moon city.
……
It was late at night, but the lights in the Lord's residence of the burning moon city were bright, and a large number of people hurried back and forth.
In front of the inner courtyard, several figures stood there, waiting anxiously. Zhuoyunfeng, the Lord of the burning moon, wandered back and forth in the front.
"It's been several hours, but the baby hasn't been born yet?" Zhuoyunfeng scolded secretly as he walked.
"Father, don't worry too much. You've been waiting for nine years and nine months. What's the point of just a few hours?" A 16-year-old cold young man nearby smiled.
This cold young man is Zhuo Peng, the eldest son of zhuoyunfeng.
Zhuoyunfeng had a son and a daughter before, and he also had a eldest daughter, but he was not in the burning moon city.
"What do you know? I'm worried because the baby has been in your mother's stomach for nine years and nine months." Zhuoyunfeng said.
Zhuo Peng smiled bitterly, but it was hard to say more.
Just then, a servant hurried in.
"Master, there is a man outside the door asking for an audience." This servant is humane.
"It's this time. What kind of Taoist doesn't belong to Taoist, it's gone." Zhuoyunfeng waved his hand. He was anxious now. How can he have time to see an irrelevant Taoist again.
"Master, the Taoist called himself Xuanshen Taoist and said that as long as I told you his name, you would definitely meet him." The servant said.
"Xuanshen Taoist?" Zhuoyunfeng was stunned immediately, and even Zhuo Peng beside him showed surprise.
Taoist Xuanshen... That's a big man famous in anjiu County in recent times. It is said that even the Sheriff of anjiu county is respectful to this Taoist Xuanshen.
Many big families and top powers in anjiu County say that he is a god man.
Many people even speculate that this Xuanshen Taoist may be a super strong man.
And such a big man is not something he, a small city Lord, can offend at all. It is almost impossible for him to see each other on weekdays, but now this mysterious Taoist, actually came to visit in person?
"Is it really Xuanshen Taoist?" Zhuoyunfeng was a little unsure.
"I don't know, but he said so himself." The servant is humane.
"Please come soon." Zhuoyunfeng dared to just finish speaking, but immediately waved his hand, "no, I'll meet it myself."
With these words, zhuoyunfeng and zhuopung immediately left for the door of the mansion.
Soon they came to the door of the mansion. Indeed, there was a barefoot old man in a green Taoist robe and holding a canvas standing there smiling.
Zhuoyunfeng fixed his eyes and saw that the Taoist in front of him was exactly the same as the mysterious Taoist in the legend, and the Taoist in front of him also gave zhuoyunfeng an unfathomable feeling, as if the other side was a vast sea, and what he could guess was only a drop of water in the sea.
"It's definitely a Xuanshen Taoist." Zhuoyunfeng was determined and immediately saluted, "zhuoyunfeng, I have seen the Taoist priest."
"Lord Zhuo is polite. I should have seen Lord Zhuo." Taoist Xuanshen also returned a salute.
"I don't know why I'm here tonight?" Zhuoyunfeng said modestly that if at ordinary times, Taoist Xuanshen came to visit in person, he would certainly immediately invite Taoist Xuanshen to go in and talk in detail, no matter what the other party came to do, but today he was anxious about the situation in the inner court, so he didn't want to have too much greetings with Taoist Xuanshen.
"Lord Zhuo, to be honest, I came here today specially for the little guy who is about to be born in the inner court." Taoist Xuanshen smiled.
Hearing this, zhuoyunfeng and zhuopung were surprised.
The maid servants nearby also showed surprise.
It should be noted that Luo Xinqin, the wife of the city Lord, was pregnant for nine years and nine months, and her child was never born. This is not something worth preaching. Therefore, zhuoyunfeng warned not to spread anything in the inner courtyard long ago. For example, today, the fetus in Luo Xinqin's belly is about to be born, and no outsiders know about this except for some in the inner courtyard of the city Lord's house.
But now, the mysterious Taoist priest, however, knew that the fetus was about to be born.
"Lord Zhuo, don't you please go in?" Taoist Xuanshen smiled.
Zhuoyunfeng immediately responded, "how dare you, Taoist priest, please come inside."
Under the guidance of zhuoyunfeng and zhuopung, the Xuanshen Taoist also came to the door of the inner courtyard.
Once here, thinking of the situation inside, zhuoyunfeng could no longer calm down and continued to wander.
Seeing this, the Xuanshen Taoist beside smiled, "Lord Zhuo doesn't need to be so anxious, so that nothing will happen to his wife and the fetus in his abdomen. It's just that the time hasn't arrived, so the fetus hasn't been born yet."
Zhuoyunfeng stopped immediately and looked at the Taoist priest Xuanshen. "Taoist priest said that the time has not yet arrived, so I don't know when my wife's fetus will be born?"
"It's midnight, and it's still the second half of the hour." Taoist Xuanshen smiled.
Hearing this, everyone present frowned.
"Taoist Xuan, why are you so sure?" Zhuoyunfeng said.
Although the outside world has always passed on the mysterious God Taoist as divine, zhuoyunfeng has not seen it with his own eyes, and his heart is still skeptical.
"I want to observe the phenomena of heaven. The heavy snow that has fallen for nine years and nine months in the city of burning moon will stop completely in the second half of midnight, and at that time, the heavy snow will just fall for nine years and nine days!"
"Nine is the progression of heaven and earth, and three nine is the progression of progression. At this stage, the heavy snow should stop, and naturally the childe in the womb of the wife will also be born." Xuanshendao is humane.
Hearing this, zhuoyunfeng became more suspicious.
Zhuo Peng nearby said directly, "Taoist priest, what you said is too uncertain? What is the number of 39? If you say so, if the fetus in my mother's abdomen is born nine hours later, wouldn't it be nine days and nine hours in nine years? That's not the number of 49? Also, how do you know that my mother's fetus is a man?"
"Peng'er, don't be rude." Zhuoyunfeng scolded repeatedly, but in his heart, he actually thought so.
What Taoist Xuanshen said was too uncertain for him to believe.
But in the face of doubt, Taoist Xuanshen just smiled faintly, "just look at it."
time lapse.
"Master, it's already midnight." A servant is humane.
"Well." Zhuoyunfeng nodded slightly.
Another half hour passed.
"Master, it's already the second half of Zishi." The servant added.
But the servant's words were not finished.
"Wow!"
A crisp baby cry suddenly rang out from the houses.
