Chapter 106: The Mysterious Old Man
Sha Li thought, Kaifeng is so graceful, no matter where he goes, he will catch people's attention, and Zhi Yu is that monster-like figure, thinking that if he had appeared here, even if the two of them were not uniformed, they would leave a slight impression.
But after he went in and out of a few shops, when his family members either said that they were not impressed, or after seeing that Sha Li was not a customer, they said coldly that they had not seen it.
Sha Li suddenly felt that he had taken it for granted. These shops stand here, naturally they are bent on profit, and their customers can't greet them, so they don't care about the pedestrians on the road.
I remembered that when I came, Shengjiu had told him that the person he had disappeared that day was planning to go to the market to buy a yuan weapon. Kai Feng and Zhi Yu rarely entered this bazaar for the first time, and perhaps the first thing they thought of was to go to the shop at the intersection of the intersection that Sheng Jiu mentioned that specialized in selling yuan weapons and various refining materials. So he went straight to the crossroads.
"This little friend stayed. ”
As Sha Li passed by a stall, an old voice paused his steps.
He looked back at the stall first. A small bamboo table, two bamboo chairs, and a slender bamboo pole on the ground, on which a white cloth is carried and only a big "life" is written.
And an old man sat on a chair, gently shaking a feather fan made of bird feathers, with a childish face, quite a bit of fairy wind bones. At this moment, he was chuckling at Sha Li.
"What's the matter, old man?"
"I look at the little friends and little friends with extraordinary spirits and ...... faces"
"The fate is determined by heaven, and the old gentleman doesn't need to show me his face. Sha Li waved his hand to interrupt the old man's words. This fortune-telling stall can often be seen in the streets and alleys of Qiyuan Island. The fortune teller stall owner, who is older and has some fairy bones, is a crowd, and most of them figure out the hearts of their customers by observing words and feelings, and say some ingenious auspicious words. After a few words, the Lord was overjoyed, thinking that he was the one who was really destined. Regardless of the descendants of the Yuan, they always have to dig out some brocade stones, yuanjing or yellow and white things.
Since Sha Li cultivated the Yuan Enlightenment, he faintly felt that behind everything in the world, there were always some indescribable mysterious forces pushing him, and he didn't know if this was the so-called Heavenly Principle of Fate. But even if there is, it's not something that a street fortune teller stall can talk about.
The old man obviously didn't expect Sha Li to react like this, he first looked stunned, and then laughed again, looking quite kind.
"Xiaoyou misunderstood. I saw you walking out of the shops in front of you with a sad face, are you looking for someone?"
Sha Li's expression froze, thinking in his heart that this old man must have been watching his behavior, but he didn't know if he had ulterior motives, so he didn't answer at the moment.
"Huh. The little old man goes out here every day, and the people who come and go in this market can see what they are doing in the open and in the dark. If you want to find someone, I may be able to answer one or two. Seeing that Sha Li was vigilant, the old man took the initiative to speak.
"There is some truth in what the old man said, maybe he really knows something. Sha Li thought so in his heart, and then said, "The old gentleman is polite. The late students were in a hurry to find someone, but it was a little disrespectful. ”
"It's okay, sit down. The old man didn't care at all, as this kind of scene was commonplace on weekdays. He stretched out his feather fan and pointed to the bamboo chair opposite him, motioning for Sha Li to sit down.
Sha Li nodded and sat down, looked at the old man for a while before asking, "The old gentleman often stalls here?"
"Every day. Regardless of the Yuan and the mortal. The old man shook his feather fan and sighed for some reason: "Huh-it is not easy to make a living under this tiger lying mountain, if the old man slacks off one day, the old and young in the family will inevitably starve and freeze." ”
Sha Li slandered in his heart, this old man clearly had vitality fluctuations, although he had not entered the Kaiyuan realm, he could not be called a yuan. But with the cultivation in the body, how can life be as sloppy as he said. Moreover, with his cultivation, he can survive in the land of tigers and wolves in Huwo Mountain, and he still looks quite moisturized, so he must have something outstanding.
"There are two people in the late life who want to ask Mr. Sha Li didn't want to spend more time with the old man on some inconsequential things, so he immediately told the old man about the figure and appearance of Kaifeng and Zhi.
"So you're looking for that couple of men and women. After listening to what Sha Li said, the old man looked like this. shook the feather fan, reminiscing: "Although the girl is not very old, she really has the appearance of a celestial person. The black-faced boy is majestic and majestic, and he is also quite extraordinary. When the two walk together, even if they only look at it, they will leave a good impression. ”
Sha Li's heart moved, and the old man's performance seemed to know something, and he immediately asked, "Sir, did you see what they did in the bazaar?"
Indeed, I saw their deeds from afar, and knew where they went. The old man nodded his head, but he didn't say any more.
Sha Li thought he needed to think carefully about the details of the day, so he didn't interrupt. But who knew that the old man just looked at him with a pair of bright round eyes and a little smile, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to speak.
Sha Li couldn't help it and asked, "Please let me know." ”
"My youngest grandson likes to dance and play with swords since he was a child. But as he grew older, he became less and less interested in the copper and iron vulgar utensils made by mortals, but he was looking forward to having a yuan weapon, so that he could show off among his neighbors and playmates. ”
Sha Li was a little anxious in his heart, and secretly thought: "What does this old man want to say?" It's just that since he asks for help, he can't interrupt with words, so he has to listen with a smile, and he has to show his appreciation from time to time.
"It's just that I've been out of the stall for many days, and I haven't earned the capital to buy a low-grade element, and I'm really ashamed of my lovely grandson. The old man shook his head and sighed.
Sha Li suddenly realized. He glanced at the old man in his heart, but said with a thoughtful face: "Ling Sun is lively, although I haven't seen it, I like it very much." Sir, don't worry about this, wait for me to go to the front store and buy him a piece or two. It can also be regarded as a reward for Mr. who does not hesitate to understand. ”
When the old man heard Sha Li's words, he hurriedly stretched out his feather fan to stop Sha Li, who was about to get up, "Little friend, no." Finding someone and hearing the news is just a common thing, how can the old man ask his little friend to return because of this. Wouldn't that be a deal?"
Sha Li looked at the old man's resolute expression, and he was a little confused for a while. Unexpectedly, the old man continued: "If Xiaoyou really doesn't want to go, just give some Yuan Crystal, and the old man can buy it by himself, so that you don't have to bother Xiaoyou." ”
Sha Li was a little speechless, but he still said politely: "Mr. is so sympathetic to me, he is really a person of high morality and virtue. At that moment, he took out a few pieces of low-grade Yuan Jing from Cunyu and handed them to the old man.
When the old man saw the Yuan Jing handed over by Sha Li, his face first showed joy, and then he immediately gathered it up. After receiving Yuanjing, he said, "Xiaoyou is polite. The man and woman were going to the shop at the intersection that day, and they should have wanted to inquire about something like Xiaoyou. But it wasn't long before they were back on the street, both of them with a wary look on their faces. When I looked closely, I realized that they seemed to be following someone......"
As he spoke, the old man was silent again. Sha Li couldn't help but ask, "And then, where did they go?"
The old man didn't seem to hear Sha Li's question, but looked at the dim sum workshop called "Eat More" across the street from the Yuanqi shop, and pouted: "I have a granddaughter, every time I bring her to the market, when I pass by this 'eat more', she is always hungry and can't open her legs. It's a pity that the old man is shy, and he can only look at it in his eyes and hurt in his heart......"
Sha Li gritted his teeth slightly, scratched the old man fiercely in his heart, and took out a few pieces of low-grade yuan crystals and handed them to the old man, "These, you can buy some snacks for my little sister to eat." Children, they are a little greedy, but it's normal. ”
"I can't help it! I have already received a lot of benefits from Xiaoyou, how can I be so cheeky now? This must not be calculated. The old man said no, but his right hand was already grasping the palm of Sha Li's hand to Yuanjing. That posture didn't look like it was going to push Yuanjing back.
Sha Li put Yuanjing in the old man's hand with his backhand, and said with a smile on his face: "It should be." ”
"When I looked closely, it turned out that the man and woman were quietly following a few big men with cloaks and going west. The old man put Yuan Jing away and continued: "Actually, this market is already a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there are some dirty and dirty things going on every day.
Many people don't want people to recognize their identity in the bazaar, so they will cover it up. I just don't know why the pair of boys and girls are targeting those people. ”
The old man's face seemed to be puzzled, and then it seemed to remember something, "I remember." One of the big men walked particularly uncomfortably, as if he was forced to walk by several other people. Could it be that the man and woman are eyeing them because of this?"
Sha Li frowned, and did not take the old man's words. After thinking for a while, he took out a few more pieces of Yuan Jing and put them on the bamboo table, hugged his fists to the old man and said, "Thank you, sir, for informing me." Then he got up and left.
"Xiaoyou is polite, don't you really want me to calculate it for you? How about sending you a hexagram? Xiaoyou ......"
Ignoring the old man's cry behind him, Sha Li walked to the intersection and galloped westward.
Looking at the back of Sha Li leaving in a hurry, the old man's outstretched hand slowly put down, "Al-is it still an emergency?" The old man took out the Yuan Jing that Sha Li had given him and put it on the table, "However, some of this is enough." ”
If Sha Li was here at this time and paid close attention, he would find that the Yuan Crystals that were taken out by the old man were the ones he stuffed in the old man's hands with his backhand.
The old man hung his palm on the pieces of Yuan Crystals, and it didn't take long for a ray of white light to escape from each of the red Yuan Crystals, and was quickly grasped by the old man in the palm of his hand.
After doing all this, the old man seemed to be very satisfied, and a faint smile appeared on his smooth face.
Then he waved his hand, and all the tables and chairs on the stall disappeared.
