Linyuan Village, a very ordinary small village located in the south of Yanhuang Kingdom, as the name suggests, the villagers here make a living by planting fruit trees, and now the times have changed, the standard of living is no longer what it used to be, and every household has a field to cultivate and land to plant.

And there was only one person in the village, who never did farm work, and every day he took a pole hanging on a white cloth and wrote big words on it, and went to tell fortunes to the people in the town.

The strange thing is that no one knows where he came from, and I learned that two years ago there was no more person in the village, and the house he lived in was also peculiar, it was a bamboo house that only existed in ancient times, and it was made of bamboo.

His behavior is full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, but now the society does not allow such imagination, and the village chief cadres also dissuade him, but he doesn't know afterwards, but every time he sees the village chief coming out of the bamboo house, his face is always with joy, as if he was bribed, and he left in a hurry.

Recently, there is joy in the village, it is the village chief's family that has not had descendants for many years, according to the village chief, it is the descendants who got instructions from that person, and the person's surname is Xu, and his only ability is to tell fortunes.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole village treated that person warmly, and there was a feng shui fortune-telling saying since ancient times, which had to convince the villagers of him.

Because of his white hair, everyone also called Xu Lao one by one.

In the harvest season, Xu Lao will receive gifts from the villagers, and he will also show the villagers from time to time, among which only a few women are free, especially the beautiful ones let him talk for a long time, and the other old people over fifty years old, he avoided them.

It is said that fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and the fixed number is certain.

On this day, as usual, Xu Lao walked back to the village slowly with the flagpole in his hand, but as soon as he stepped into the village entrance, he saw a child blocking the way in front of him.

Xu Lao raised his white eyebrows and looked at the puffing child in front of him, isn't it the nephew of the sixth aunt next door, why is he here, and he is still blocking himself: "Little coal egg, what are you doing here, what are you doing uncle?"

"Phew, what a little coal egg" The child tilted his head, pointed at Xu Lao with one hand and said, "Old man!"

The child's words made Xu Lao's face tremble, and he quickly glared at him fiercely: "Little bastard, what are you talking about? When did you become an old man, believe it or not, I will whip your ass and sue your aunt." With that, he raised his palm and waved it at the child.

The child immediately lowered his voice slightly: "Hmph!" Still tilting his head, staring closely at the hand that stopped in mid-air, he said unconvinced: "Do you think I don't know, last time my aunt was with you, your hand kept touching the back of her hand, and ...... You're laughing so obscenely."

Without waiting for Xu Lao's reaction, the child chased and said, "I can see it clearly, hum!"

After the child finished speaking, he did not forget to despise Xu Lao in the end.

The so-called childlike Wuji, the child doesn't know how much impact this matter will have on Xu Lao if it spreads into the village.

At the same time, Xu Lao's face immediately returned to normal, calm, and said lightly: "What do you little fart know about? Do you know what a hexagram is? And how many kinds of phases are there? Yin and yang, yang and positive, yin and anti, what is the difference between them? I see that you don't know anything at a young age, so you dare to draw conclusions and slander your uncle." ”

In the last sentence, Xu Lao's tone was slightly heavier, and he stared at the child quietly.

After a few breaths, the stunned child gradually put down his hand, his arrogant little face became a little overwhelmed, and he shook his head slightly.

"That's right, Xiao Qiangzi can't look at the surface of everything......" Xu Lao said lightly, took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand, straightened his waist and stood upright.

Xu Lao didn't expect that the little kid who often followed behind the sixth aunt's ass could now see his own small actions, and he knew the word "obscene" at a young age.

He stroked his white beard with his hand, looked at the child and said secretly, next time he looks at it, he must not let this kid look at it.

In fact, others don't know that Xu Lao's real age is more than fifty years old, and his white hair is caused by fortune-telling, and when he faces the sixth aunt who has a better appearance, the male nature is fully revealed, and it is normal to rub oil and beautiful women.

As for the face of the sixth aunt, it is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the best in the city.

"What I showed you to the sixth aunt is the back. Xu Lao said solemnly, and then said slowly: "The palm of the hand is positive and mostly yang, you can see the direction of a person's luck for a day, it doesn't matter if you are lucky, but the bad luck cannot be observed and you can't avoid it."

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to have a back phase, and the back of the hand is mostly yin, and the object that hits the wall can probably be inferred through the texture of the nails and skin, so ......"

The voice stopped, Xu Lao looked sideways slightly, and took in the little qiangzi with a confused face: "Forget it, you don't understand if you talk too much, anyway, you just need to know, I am good for your aunt"

"Oh————" Xiao Qiangzi frowned and dragged his voice, and after thinking for a while, he weakly asked Xu Lao, "That...... Uncle, why don't you show your uncles their backs?"

"Ah, I... Isn't it good for me to have a good relationship with your aunt!" Xu Lao replied in a panic, his old eyes kept wandering, and then he pulled out: "Doesn't your aunt bring me food every day! ”

After speaking, seeing that the little strong man below began to frown again, Xu Lao immediately urged: "Okay, it's okay, hurry up and go home." ”

Xu Lao hurriedly waved his hand to urge, he didn't want to stay with the little ghost in front of him for a moment, who knows what the next sentence will ask, the back of the face just now was originally out of his mind, fooling the child in front of him, how can there be a phase in the world that can calculate the source of bad luck, it's just a dream!

"Oh-" Xiao Qiangzi replied weakly and bowed deeply to Old Xu: "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry!"

“......”

Seeing the little kid who suddenly apologized, Xu Lao was a little speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched...... Suddenly smiled: "Let's go, please eat hemp candy"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qiangzi immediately raised his head, his eyes were full of joy, and soon his brows were intertwined, and he said bitterly: "Uncle, my cow hasn't been released yet...... Or, save it for next time!"

Xu Lao smiled slightly, looking at the pleading little bitter gourd face, he didn't want to agree easily, so he said: "After this village, there is no such shop——"

He deliberately dragged out his voice very long, and it quickly came to his ears, "Ahhh

"Haha" Boss Xu laughed, wiped Xiao Qiangzi's face, and spread his hand: "Look, it's all ash, it's not a small briquette, unless you promise me to go back and wash my face, I'll invite you next time"

"Okay, hehe" Xiao Qiangzi wiped his face a little embarrassed, and replied: "Uncle Xu is so good!"

"Alright!" Xu Lao waved his hand.

It wasn't until the thin figure disappeared at the intersection that he picked up the flagpole leaning on the side and walked slowly back to the bamboo house.

...

Not far away, the naked eye can see a basket full of vegetables under the bamboo house, and something thickly wrapped in a white cloth on top.

Xu Lao saw it in his eyes, and gradually walked in, without the slightest hesitation, as if he was not curious about the extra vegetable basket outside the door, only to see him lift the vegetable basket sideways and walk straight into the house.

There were still a few wisps of heat above the white cloth, after Xu Lao placed the flagpole, he stared at the vegetable basket in a blink of an eye, the expression on the old face became calm, and he squeezed a rather wrinkled smile slightly, and there was a complicated color in his eyes, these expressions appeared together rashly, I don't know if he was laughing or melancholy, anyway, he had never had it in the first half of his life.

Xu Lao, formerly known as Xu Sansan years old, fortune teller all his life, wandering for a lifetime, most of China had his footprints, and now he stays in Linyuan Village, which is the place where he chooses to rest himself.

Fortune telling, fortune telling, counting the lives of others, is to spy on the destiny of heaven, and God to play a side game, God sees it in his eyes and will tolerate it, fortune tellers have a few people who can live a long life, knowing that the lives of others damage their own longevity, it is the punishment of fortune tellers, and Xu Lao does not regret it, after all, it is also soil.

He put down the steamed buns, but he didn't expect to feel a trace of warmth when he returned to the land after wandering all his life.

The white cloth was folded and put into the vegetable basket, Xu Lao walked out of the bamboo house, less than 100 meters in front of the tile house, there was thick white smoke above the tile house, and the fragrance mixed in the air, he knew that the sixth aunt was preparing dinner, he walked to the stove window, and saw the dignified figure was busy stir-frying.

He stayed by the window to observe carefully, and the floral apron tied to his waist was so charming, the sweat-soaked place on his back was faintly visible, and the two chopsticks were inserted upside down in his curly hair, showing the clean and neat character of a peasant woman.

With a well-proportioned and writhing figure in front, Xu Lao really didn't expect that the sixth aunt who was nearly forty could still maintain such a plump figure, not weaker than the little girl in the city, maybe because of her frequent labor.

If Xiao Qiangzi was here at this time, he would definitely see Xu Lao's lewd smile.

Thinking of the sixth aunt's man, Xu Lao gradually put away his smile, and learned from her mouth that her man died in an accident in the coal mine, and his husband and wife didn't even have children.

Later, the sixth aunt did not want to marry again, her face, there were too many suitors to count, but they were all turned away, Xu Lao also asked curiously, but only heard her say that it was better to live alone.

And the food delivery has been going on for a year, all because Xu Lao unintentionally rescued the sixth aunt who fell into the water by the river, and she said that she repays her kindness every day, no matter whether Xu Lao refuses or not, she still does it every day, maybe she is helping this lonely old man.

"Hey, Xu Lao is here."

The voice of the sixth aunt came, I don't know when she turned around, and a fair face appeared in her sight, with a goose egg face, good facial features, very bright eyes, and a unique charm between her eyebrows.

Facing Xu Lao, she smiled lightly, gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and faintly saw a few wrinkles caused by years of hard work, and said with a smile: "Give me the basket."

Old Xu nodded, and then said, "Sixth aunt, thank you." ”

Taking the basket, the sixth aunt smiled slightly: "Old Xu, let's go for dinner!"

With a hint of hesitation, Xu Lao refused softly: "There are vegetables at home, don't waste it, next time!"

Without waiting for the sixth aunt to reply, he resolutely left the window.

"Goodbye Xu"

The voice came from behind, Xu Lao didn't turn around, waved his hand, but the expression on his face was extremely unhappy, if it wasn't for Xiao Qiangzi's matter just now, he would definitely be cheeky to stay and have a meal before leaving, and he didn't have to do it himself and was accompanied by a beautiful woman, why not.

In the bamboo house, Xu Lao looked at a number of vegetables, and he was a little at a loss, so he pondered: "It seems that I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Then he said to himself, "Why don't you get a hare!"

In this way, Xu Lao made up his mind, clapped his hands, nodded to himself, and then despised the house for a week, and kicked the soles of his feet.

Bang!, there was a sound in the west of the house, and I saw the bamboo windows colliding with each other, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Lao disappeared, and the bamboo house was empty, as if no one had been here before, and Xu Lao was more like the world evaporated.

At this time, the only sound in the house was the sound of bamboo windows still trembling.

On the mountain behind Linyuan Village, a white figure is moving, more precisely, it is fluttering, and the speed of the white shadow is beyond people's cognition.

Suddenly, the white shadow poked his head out of the weeds: "I still want to hide, I caught it!"

This person is Xu Lao, with white hair and white beard is unusually conspicuous, if anyone in the village sees it, I can't believe that this is Xu Lao, or is it the old Xu who walks weakly and walks weakly, he has completely changed as a person.

He stood up, holding a rabbit in one hand, slapping the weeds on his body with the other, and muttering: "Hey...... I'm getting old, and my back hurts a little. ”

He pressed his hand to his waist and looked at the hare in his hand with satisfaction, since the above regulations on the protection of wild animals, Xu Lao has never been hungry for wild meat.

"Hiss......" He frowned and looked confused, staring at the hare jumping in his hand, and said slowly: "Roast or make soup......?"

At this moment, a discordant voice interrupted Xu Lao, "Old woman, you are not very good at running!

"Do you think I can't find you?, dead old woman, run!

"Crazy don't be long-winded, solve it quickly," another serious voice came

"Stinky old woman, why did you run away for a long time......"

And next to the bushes ten meters away, Xu Lao, who heard all this, looked entangled and uncomfortable at this time, and his eyebrows were deeply squeezed into a ravine, how could the murder and robbery that was rare in 10,000 years be ...... in front of his eyes.

He closed his eyelids, and finally chose not to save people, and kept muttering: "Everyone has a life, everyone has a life........"

As a fortune teller, the most taboo thing is to meddle in other people's grievances, especially when it comes to life and death, Xu Lao runs away.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, no one dares to keep you until the fifth watch, if the fortune teller even interferes with life and death, not only can he not save people, but also affect his own longevity and bad luck for several consecutive years, such a thankless thing, no one is willing to do it, and Xu Lao is not excluded......

"Die, Stinky Woman"

"Wow wow...... Woooooo

A crying infant voice instantly broke the entire forest, and at this second Xu Lao opened his eyes, two lives, one old and one young, if he didn't care, it would definitely make him sleepless all night in the future.

The next moment, there was no white figure next to the bush.

A chopstick-like thing flew out of Old Xu's hand in an instant, followed by a miserable scream, and the dagger in the air fell from the old woman's eyes, "Ahhh......h Who is it?"

"Ahem, cough, cough..."Xu Lao coughed softly, walked in front of the old woman and the baby, fortunately he carried a bamboo stick with him, so he blocked the flying dagger in time, otherwise the old woman would be killed, he looked at the old woman, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the old eyes widened with a wry smile.

Two babies, three lives, this saved him and he was afraid that he would not have many days to live.

“...... Alas" Old Xu sighed, his entire waist and shoulders lowered by a margin, and his depressed old face was as pitiful as a withered flower.

And Xu Lao didn't know that his sudden appearance was that a man on the opposite side looked at him very vigilantly.

"What the hell is this?"

Another injured man cried out, staring at the bamboo stick inserted into the back of his hand.

"Uh......" Xu Lao was awakened by the man's voice, and when he saw the man's appearance, he said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was injured by mistake"

"Accidentally injure Nima's head, let Lao Tzu die!"

The injured man waved his left hand, and a black trajectory went straight to Xu Laomei's heart like lightning...... The next moment, he was startled and shocked, and the scene suddenly froze, very silent.

Xu Lao stood upright, and did not fall to the ground as the man imagined, bleeding all over the ground.

The other man in black was shocked by Xu Lao's movements, and his brows frowned.

Two fingers, the pitch-black dagger was only caught between two fingers, such a short distance...... The dagger was thrown away by Xu Lao, and he said easily: "Donor, you are angry and hurt your spleen and stomach! Say everything well, you don't need to use a knife or a gun." ”

"I'll move you ......"

"Shut up, madman"

The injured man glared and cursed angrily, and was scolded by the man on the side before he finished speaking.

After the man in black finished scolding, he immediately smiled at Xu Lao, which was extremely contrasting with the expression just now, as if he had changed his face, and said softly: "Old man, I see that the weather is late, and you should rest earlier, more things are better than less...... You're right," he said, and the man had an extra stack of money in his hand at some point.

"Hmph!" the injured man sneered, "Take the money and get out!"

"I'm sorry, donor, since Poor Dao is here, you can't leave" Xu Lao looked at the money in his hand and smiled bitterly, and then said: "It's better to leave, two donors, please leave!"

"Grass, old man, are you sick" The injured man scolded, then glanced at the man on the side, took the money from him, and walked towards Xu Lao very naturally: "Old man, I see that you are in good health, take the money back and make up for your body!"

Seeing him coming, Xu Lao's face was not flustered, and he said unhurriedly: "I won't accept the money, please leave!"

Suddenly, when he handed over the money, a dagger appeared in his hand and stabbed straight at Xu Lao, but Xu Lao did not dodge it in his eyes, and was still stabbed by the man, and the evil smile that the man showed when he succeeded could be seen in his eyes.

Suddenly, Xu Lao moved, his left hand waved, and with a snap, a bright red five fingers were instantly imprinted on the injured man's face, he gritted his teeth and pulled his mouth, he could feel that he must be very painful, but he didn't stop, his right hand was horizontal, and he quietly waved the blood stains and stabbed Xu Lao's other side with his left hand...... It all changed so quickly that it seemed like the man was doing it on purpose.

The naked eye thought that Xu Lao's waist must be stabbed and blood flowed out, however, in the field of vision, Xu Lao's posture suddenly blurred, which made the man's hands pierce the air, but instead controlled the man's arm, making him unable to move.

"Donor, you ......" Before the words were finished, the man in front of him actually sketched a sinister and evil smile, which faintly made people's backs chill, Xu Lao frowned, and a bad premonition floated up.

He looked sideways, and the dagger in the man's hand was nowhere to go, and when he looked at the old woman, she knelt in front of the two babies, holding the babies tightly, but the old woman had two more black knives on her back......

Call... Suddenly a cold wind suddenly broke out in the forest, and the leaves fell on the old woman, as if praying for the tragic death of the old woman, Xu Lao gently closed his eyes, if he hadn't deliberately left his hand, maybe the old woman would not have died.

Looking away from the old woman's corpse, Xu Lao indifferently looked at the man who was still laughing in front of him, without a trace of remorse in his eyes, "Hehe, the old man fights with us, you .......", bang!

Click... The sound of bones breaking sounded.

"Ahhh

There was another muffled sound, and the indifferent Xu Lao hit him on the knee, bang! bang...... The sound of broken bones continued to emanate from within him.

After a few breaths, the man was already kneeling on his knees, his hands hanging down, scarlet blood slowly flowing out of his mouth, and the direction he knelt was the old woman's corpse, and the lowered head was more like repentance, no!

It's that he is no longer able to support his body, and his limbs are broken by Xu Lao.

"Hehe" At this time, a harsh ridicule came out, and the man's mouth was slurred and accompanied by vomiting blood, but he still slowly vomited: "I want to let ..... Father...... Admit your mistake, hehe

No...... Possibly!"

Stubborn, killing him thousands of times without venting his anger, Xu Lao could think of the hateful and lewd smile on his eyes when he closed his eyes, and he put his fingers together and instantly slashed the back of the knife at the man's neck.

At this moment, the man in the distance waved his hands, and two black shadows flew out of his sleeves, heading straight for the kneeling man, only to see the dagger grazing the kneeling man's neck, and a trace of blood came out, interrupting Xu Lao's movements.

"Enough"

The man in the distance shouted, smiling, as if he didn't care at all about Xu Lao crippling his companion, and said with a smile: "Old man, the old woman is dead, our task is over, we have no grudges, there is no need to kill the killer,"

After speaking, the man walked to the side, as if he wanted to bypass Elder Xu, and said softly: "Old man, let me do a good deed, give the two babies to the orphanage, what do you think?"

The man walked as he spoke, and suddenly a figure passed by, and Old Xu had already stood next to the old woman.

Click... Click!

Two daggers were pulled out by Xu Lao and thrown on the ground, he slowly flattened the old woman's body, a face full of spots and wrinkles presented, her face is mostly rich, the nose is larger, the forehead is full, but there is a depression at the root of the mountain, just to block the fortune, even if it is rich, it is difficult to squander, the cheekbones are two points lower, and the two-eared person wheel is one point lower, this kind of face refers to the life of the servant in ancient times.

Servant? Xu Lao immediately spread out the palm of the old woman's hand, and there was not a single ornament between his fingers, so he dared to conclude that the old woman must be a servant of a rich family.

However, Xu Lao couldn't understand why, as a servant, he had to protect the baby when he died.

He aimed his eyes at the baby, gently opened the baby's coat, a small round face with red and purple hair was revealed, the baby's eyes wandered above, and he smiled vigorously, I don't know if he was smiling at Xu Lao or smiling at himself, and the hara on the side of the small mouth wet a large piece of cotton cloth.

Nothing special, Xu Lao frowned, a little disappointed, the baby was red and purple Most pregnant women have given birth for too long, caused by lack of oxygen, and they will be fine in a few months.

However, a trace of red thread was captured by Xu Lao's afterglow, his eyes stopped under the baby's neck, and he lifted it along the red rope with a slight curiosity, only to see a black-brown pendant appear, which instantly made Xu Lao's brows frown, and there was no reason to rise a sense of restlessness.

The statue is very exquisite, but the appearance is very complex, like a Buddha but has a thousand hands, like a sound but blessed with Buddha beads...... At this time, the statue seemed to be a little abnormal, black and red, faintly flashing scarlet.

Xu Lao looked at the ring scar (incense scar) on the dome of the statue and muttered, "This is ...... Buddha?"

His mind was confused, and he kept thinking about it, this thing made him feel familiar, and suddenly, an object jumped out of his mind, Xu Lao stared at the pendant in his hand, his pupils gradually dilated, and a trace of horror unconsciously crossed.

No, it should be a coffin!

The corners of his mouth opened unconsciously, and he said incredulously: "Coffin...... Black Buddha!"
