"The little ones recognize it, the little ones recognize it all."
"Whatever the adults want to know, the children will tell you."
When the warlock saw this scene in the hall, he decided to confess and be lenient - he had also made a divination after An Cheng was taken away, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this time.
An Cheng didn't know what was going on, but the warlock actually had some abilities, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with An Cheng.
Looking at the tea cups placed beside him and sitting on the calm An Lan, the warlock already understood.
I'm afraid this little girl is not an ordinary person, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find the already fallen Xuanyun Temple yesterday.
Now, the tea cup may have been filled with hydrated talismans. An Cheng didn't understand, so he naturally fell into the trap. Now I'm afraid he has almost finished explaining what he needs to explain.
"Okay, I'll allow you to elaborate."
I have seen a lot of the officials in charge. This kind of magician has a name in the government and can do legitimate business. In the early years, there were many who really relieved the people's worries.
It's a pity that for those few taels of money, many people have gradually changed from "supporting their families" to a harmful trick of "cheating".
The person in front of me is obviously... a man who has lost his humanity for money, once and twice.
"The younger one, the younger one took An's An Cheng's money and made An's boss crazy. In the end, An's boss went to jail because of his mistakes in office."
The death of An Mu of Taihu An clan also made countless people sigh at that time.
An Mu inherited the literati character of his ancestors. In his last days, he went crazy but never did anything harmful. After being imprisoned, he was killed by a collision not long after.
They were all literati, and the official in charge couldn't help but have some personal grudges when he heard about An Mu's murder.
"You are so vicious, I wonder if the master who taught you these techniques will not regret having a disciple like you!"
The fortune teller was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Suddenly he became crazy and laughed at himself, "Master, Master..."
"When I came out of Xuanyun Temple, I also wanted to do some business, but was it useful? What people are willing to believe in is the popular Taoist temple."
"He's the kind of person who can do both good and bad things once he's done!"
"You argue with him that you deserve it, and he talks with you about breaking the bank... If I can really make a living, why am I like this?"
"Ah? Who doesn't want to be a good person in front of the Tai Chi Xuan Miao Emperor in the Sanqing Palace?"
"But if you don't have three coins, how can you save people? Adopt children who are not adoptable in the Loneliness Garden?"
Everyone in the hall listened to the fortune teller's confession, and no one, including Li Lan, interrupted.
"Finally, look at Xuanyun Temple now!"
"A hundred years ago, was the grand view prosperous?" The fortune teller laughed crazily, but as he smiled, tears splashed out from his unkempt hair, fell to the ground, and spread out, as if in the white air. There were ink stains on the paper, which were abrupt and heart-wrenching.
"What's the use of having a heart for the Tao? What's the good of caring about the common people? In the end, you can't even support yourself, you can't even..."
Afterwards, the fortune teller didn't say any more. Maybe he had something he didn't want to reveal, so he just lay on the ground and said nothing.
After signing and stamping their signatures, the two men were taken into custody. The official in charge of the yamen watched Li Lan leave. The smiles that had just blossomed in his heart because of his achievements also turned into tears caused by the fortune teller's words. broken.
As for Li Lan, I feel sad when I think about the consequences of the good temper of the original An Lan family, and also when I think about the fact that many people in the 21st century are willing to believe in sorcerers, but regard Taoist priests as useless liars.
But Li Lan knew that the fortune teller was wrong.
If it is really because of money that you have abandoned your heart for the Tao and the embrace of the common people, not to mention that you are not proficient in the five arts, then it is said that such a wavering person will have difficulty in attaining the Tao even if he is not burdened by his livelihood.
Everyone in the world is greedy for money, but there is a right way to seek money. Those who harm people's lives will have their own yamen to take care of them.
