Chapter 177: Similar Past, Different Life
"How about a look at this word, sir?"
Fang Ming put down the pen and paper, and Luo Jincheng's eyes fell on the words written by Fang Ming, and when he saw this word, his pupils dilated, and then he seriously looked at Fang Ming's face.
Just a few seconds later, Luo Jincheng's face was full of surprise, and then he waved his hand, "I don't know if you are the word." ”
Fang Mingwaner, it is rare for Mr. to measure words without measuring words, this Taoist priest is also an interesting person, he wrote just his surname: Fang.
"Since I want to test your words, then you might as well test a word for me. ”
Luo Jincheng's sudden request made Fang Ming stunned, but he did not refuse, but made a "please" gesture.
"Thanks!"
Luo Jincheng wrote a thank you.
Fang Ming glanced at Luo Jincheng with some surprise, but when he saw Luo Jincheng's questioning gaze, he knew that the other party had already seen through his identity, but he was expressing it through this word.
"Mr. Nag. ”
Fang Ming hugged his fists, the word "Xie" may be very unfamiliar to ordinary people, but as long as you understand the word measurement, you will inevitably hear allusions about the word Xie.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a word measuring master named Xie Shi, this person was extremely accurate in measuring words, but later because of offending Qin Hui and was assigned, when he met a word measuring Mr. on the way to distribute, he immediately stepped forward and wrote a "Xie" word.
The word tester also smiled slightly when he saw this word, and replied, "It seems that Mr. and I are also walking together." ”
Xie Shi Daqi, the other party was able to see this, and asked why.
"You stand between words and inches, which means that you rely on your three-inch incorruptible tongue to stand your life, what else can you be if you are not a peer?"
Therefore, the word Xie was Luo Jincheng's temptation to Fang Ming, but after Fang Ming said this, he made a gesture of please: "In that case, sir, please come with me." ”
"Coming with you, why?" Luo Jincheng asked with a smile.
"Sir wrote a thank you, didn't you say that I would set up a banquet in the magic capital and invite Mr. to have a good time?"
Luo Jincheng was stunned for a moment, although he suddenly laughed out loud, "Okay, then I want to see how you entertain me." ”
Standing up, Luo Jincheng directly followed Fang Ming and left, but just as Luo Jincheng walked out of the stall, an old man suddenly came out of the roadside.
"You haven't paid the booth fee yet, the booth is thirty yuan, and these objects are counted as twenty yuan for use, a total of fifty yuan. ”
The old man's arm was hung with the three big characters of park ranger, Fang Ming looked at Luo Jincheng with some surprise, but the expression on Luo Jincheng's face became a little strange at this moment, and he hesitated for a long time, and his hand groped around his body for a long time, but there was no response.
"You're not going to tell me you don't even have fifty bucks on you. ”
The old man had a look of see-through expression, "You liars, what are you doing with hands and feet, but you want to cheat, look at your outfit and spend a lot of money to buy it, if you don't have money, take this string of beads around your neck to pay off the debt, although it was bought from a stall, but it looks good." ”
Hearing the old man's words, Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh on the side, but Luo Jincheng's face showed anger, but he looked depressed again under the old man's gaze.
"Uncle, I gave the fifty yuan. ”
Fang Ming knew that he couldn't let Luo Jincheng be embarrassed like this anymore, so he took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man, Luo Jincheng looked at Fang Ming with a grateful face.
"Thank you, I'll pay you back when I earn the money. ”
"You're welcome. Fang Ming waved his hand, the old man didn't know the goods, but he recognized it at a glance, the beads hanging on Luo Jincheng's chest had a slight fluorescence, which showed that this string of beads was at the spirit weapon level.
Just this trembling bead, if Luo Jincheng is willing to take it out, it will be a terrifying number.
It's just that Fang Ming couldn't figure it out that with Luo Jincheng's ability, it was impossible to get mixed up with fifty yuan on his body.
"You guys, do what you want, there is no way out of the liar industry after all. ”
The old man took the money and said seriously, but Fang Ming was a little curious when he heard the old man's words: "Old man, since you say that we are liars, then why do you want to rent us the venue?
"How would I make extra money without you liars. The old man looked at Fang Ming with an idiotic gaze, "Besides, I'm not a policeman, even those policemen still have some casinos, it's okay to catch them once to make some extra money, anyway, scammers can't help it, if you don't cheat here, there will be others to cheat." ”
The world is full of knowledge, and the old man reveals the dust breath of seeing through the world, and after leaving this sentence, he turned around and left.
Fang Mingwan, but he had to admit that the old man's words were very right, this is the real society, there is white and black, and it is impossible for gray and black areas to disappear, all that can be done is to control it within a suitable range.
……
Speechless all the way, Fang Ming took Luo Jincheng out of the park, and Chen He'an and his wife were also stunned when they saw Fang Ming and Luo Jincheng walking together, but then greeted them.
"Mr. Fang. ”
"Come with me. ”
Fang Ming didn't explain much, and motioned for Chen He'an and his wife to follow, while he made a phone call to Da Zhu and asked Da Zhu to find a nearby hotel to fry a few dishes and send them to his home, and he wanted to entertain a few guests.
An hour later, the figures of Fang Ming and the four appeared in front of the door of the villa where he lived, and when he saw this luxurious villa, Luo Jincheng's brows tightened for a moment, and then he let go.
"Brother Luo, please!"
The car is already known by the name of Luo Jincheng, Luo Jincheng comes from a remote mountain village Taoist temple, the mountain is not a famous mountain, the Taoist temple is not famous, there is a Taoist temple on the whole mountain, and the entire Taoist temple is two Taoist priests, Luo Jincheng and his master.
Luo Jincheng grew up with his master since he was a child, and the reason why Luo Jincheng went down the mountain was because his master died three months ago, and Luo Jincheng left the Taoist temple after three months of filial piety.
From this point of view, Luo Jincheng and Fang Ming's past experiences are somewhat similar, both of them are orphans, and they were both adopted by their respective masters since childhood.
But there are also differences between the two, especially when Fang Ming knew about Luo Jincheng's life in the Taoist Temple, he suddenly felt that he was fortunate to have met his master, and the two were completely two extremes.
Luo Jincheng's master belongs to the kind of strict master, since he was a child, Luo Jincheng has to chant scriptures and pray, and when he grows up a little, all the chores of the entire Taoist temple will be handed over to him.
Burn wood, make a fire, do laundry and cook.
In contrast, Fang Ming hardly did any chores, because in addition to himself and his master, there was also an aunt who was responsible for cleaning, laundry and cooking.
It can be said that Fang Ming's life when he was a child was the same as that of a young master from a rich family, what he had to do in the Taoist temple was to familiarize himself with the scriptures and various books and scrolls that the master showed him, and he didn't have to worry about those miscellaneous things in life.
Luo Jincheng's master and Fang Ming's master are both Taoists, but the two of them take completely different paths, Master Fang Ming does not take the road of penance, and his life is more comfortable than anyone else.
This can be seen from the utensils used in the practice of drawing talismans, and the incense burner made of pure gold, how many Taoist temples use it?
Therefore, this led to the fact that when Luo Jincheng had to choose to leave the Taoist Temple after his filial piety was over, because if he continued to stay in the Taoist Temple, he would even have a problem with his three meals a day.
Luo Jincheng has not left the Taoist Temple, since he was twenty years old, his master has taken him down the mountain to solve some problems for many people, caught ghosts and done white things.
But Luo Jincheng's master never overcharged his employer's money, in his master's words: A body of cultivation is a gift from God, and it should be used to maintain the stability of this yang world.
Luo Jincheng's master didn't leave him much property, unlike Fang Ming, the things in the Taoist temple were all valuable antiques if they were taken out casually.
Therefore, Luo Jincheng only had a few hundred yuan on him when he went down the mountain, and it seemed that he would not starve to death with his own ability, and he should be able to grasp the evil ghosts in the world like his master, and those people and villagers would naturally give it to him.
Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.
Where are there so many ghosts in society now, let alone ghosts in a week's time, even the evil has never been encountered.
A week later, Luo Jincheng used all the money on his body to buy a bus ticket to the magic capital, because he heard that the magic capital is a big city, there are many people, and if there are many people, he may encounter problems, and maybe he will be able to meet ghosts.
On the dinner table, Fang Ming's old god was drinking tea and looking at Luo Jincheng who was gobbling up with a smile, and Chen He'an and his wife on the side opened their mouths every time they wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Fang Ming's eyes.
Only Da Zhu didn't know what was going on, and Lao Huang didn't know where he went.
After he was full of wine and food, Luo Jincheng patted his stomach, only then did he notice that Fang Ming's eyes were on him, his rare old face turned red, and explained: "The poor road has a large amount of food, and it is strange. ”
"Brother Luo is serious, it is a blessing to be able to eat this year. Fang Ming shook his head with a smile, and then suddenly asked, "Brother Luo deliberately caught Chen Le'er's ghost." ”
Straight to the point, Fang Ming didn't beat around the bush anymore, because he believed that Luo Jincheng could understand the meaning of his words.
"Ahem......"
Luo Jincheng, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, suddenly coughed and almost squirted out the tea.
"Why did Fang Daoyou say this?"
Fang Ming smiled and didn't continue this topic, he really thought that Luo Jincheng would refine Chen Le'er's ghost into a puppet, but after seeing Luo Jincheng and making contact with him for a while, he was sure that Luo Jincheng's words were deliberately said to Chen He'an and his wife.
However, Chen and An are not on the road.
