Chapter 16 6. Eating noodles with "immortals"

The highest state of cultivating immortals is to be able to gather all kinds of immortals together and sit at a table to eat.The first means that you have a good relationship with the gods; the second means that you have a deep knowledge and can be on an equal footing with all the immortals.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a period of Zhouyi craze in the middle and late 1980s in the whole country. A certain "skilled person" in Hebei who studied "Qimen Dunjia" also claimed to be able to gather gods together. He often said that he would come under the table while eating. Then he made a fight with his feet, as if he had already "hands-on" with the ghost. The crowd believed it was true, and there was an endless stream of apprentices and apprentices. Later, the master of Juxian finally gathered the police and arrested him in the police station. After half a month, I will never talk about Juxian again after I come out.

At that time, Mei Xuanzi, the hall master of the "Plum Blossom Club", claimed that he could gather immortals with the "Qimen of Shijia".He set up an avenue on the street, built a three-foot platform for the practice, and set up a table of eight immortals on it. At each corner of the platform, a disciple holding a flag stood. ), Changxian (snake), Huangxian (weasel), etc., with an incense burner, wax table, three delicacies, and a yellow watch in the middle. A large bowl is placed in front of each tablet, and the bowl is empty. Mei Xuanzi sat upright at the Eight Immortals table, first picked out the talisman and recited the mantra, shook his head, muttered words, sometimes murmured, sometimes looked up at the sky, and finally shouted: "All the immortals take their seats!"

At this time, his disciples will bring up a pot of longxu noodles that have been cooked. Mei Xuanzi personally picks out the noodles for the great immortals, scoops out the soup, and then pours a bowl for himself, saying loudly: "Today, I will share with all the immortals. For family gatherings, Xuanzi specially offers Longxu Longevity Noodles, and I ask all the immortals to bless the people on my side to be happy in everything!" This kind of dojo where you eat with gods is only known to the patriarch of Taoism—Master Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it is only a legend, and now Mei Xuanzi dares to emulate it in the street!

After Mei Xuanzi finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, and then he ate with relish, while the surrounding people watched quietly. After about a quarter of an hour, Mei Xuanzi ate all the noodles in the bowl, then got up and saluted the tablet on the table: "Thank you all the immortals for your kindness." The next scene is the moment to witness the miracle. Mei Xuanzi raised the large bowls in front of the gods on the table one by one, and said loudly: "The gods eat noodles, give me holy water, and the holy water is scattered on the ground, and the descendants of the quilt!" Then, forcefully As soon as it was splashed, the soup splashed down on the ground, and people were surprised to find that the ground was covered with water, and even a single noodle was gone!Did the gods really eat the noodles? !

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Zhang Zizhan saw it with his own eyes. He obviously picked the noodles into the bowl, why did they disappear after a while?During this time, Mei Xuanzi was the only one on the stage, and the others could not move their hands or feet. They just watched the noodles go into the bowl, and then watched it melt into nothingness. Mei Xuanzi accepted his achievements, smiled slightly, and said: "Fate is tied to the sky, the sky is tied to the gods, and the gods are tied to me. I can talk to the gods. What are you afraid of? Don't count your fate or look at your appearance, those are too much. Superficial!"

Erbatou was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart: "It's all right for you to be frightened and arrogant on the top, and let the common people not go to fortune-telling. Isn't this cutting off our 'Jiang Xiangpai''s fortune?" On the way back, Zhang Zizhan thought hard, and Er Batou cursed: "What kind of sorcery did you do? It made Lao Tzu anxious and smashed his pots, bowls, ladles and spoons as well as those memorial tablets. I wonder if he will still eat it! " After listening to Erbatou's description, the grandfather also fell into deep thought, did Mei Xuanzi take the wrong medicine, or something else?This kind of gang with a weak foundation has always been respectful to the "Jiang Xiang faction" in the past, but today it dares to blatantly speak nonsense!Don't die?

The disciples sent by Zhang Jiyao also failed to decipher it, so they came to discuss with the grandfather. The grandfather said: "I heard that people who are well versed in the strange art of dunjia can gather the gods from the sky. Could it be that Mei Xuanzi really understood this strange art?" Zhang Jiyao laughed loudly: "Grandfather was smart all his life, but he was confused for a while. Brother Yu, I still claim to understand 'Plum Blossoms are Easy to Count'." The grandfather also smiled: "Master Zhang, don't forget that Mei Xuanzi is the descendant of Mei Fuzu, the abbot of the 'Plum Blossom Taoist Temple'. Jiaqimen is very powerful, alchemy and Taoism cannot be underestimated!"

Zhang Jiyao restrained his smile: "Grandpa, Brother Yu didn't come here just for fun. What Mei Xuanzi did is related to the livelihood of our two families. If Grandfather talks and jokes again, Brother Yu is leaving." The grandfather hurriedly said: "Mei Xuanzi is a very cautious person. Don't you think it's strange to make such a big show this time?" Zhang Jiyao frowned. The grandfather continued: "In our business, we never fight unprepared battles. Doesn't Mr. Zhang always fight up and down before making a game before he dares to act?" Zhang Jiyao said, "Grandpa means that Mei Xuanzi has an expert behind him?"

The grandfather said: "Mei Xuanzi has always been cautious, and he has pretended to be a fairy in the past, but every time he clicks on it, he will not let the situation escalate. If his disciples dare to bluff and deceive, they will be punished by him." Zhang Jiyao said: "Mei Xuanzi also has someone in the government, could it be..." Grandpa shook his head: "No, those adjutants can't handle such a big situation." Zhang Jiyao nodded: "Grandfather means..." Grandpa looked at Zhang Jiyao, and squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Wait."
