Jiangnan, Yangzhou.

Yang Xianmao sat behind a shabby desk on the side of the road, shaking a folding fan. The knowledge on the big tree was squeaking, showing the heat of the summer.

Yang Xianmao has been in Yangzhou for some days.

His last goal was to be in Yangzhou. But in these days, he has searched in many ways, and has not found the last person he wants to rescue who has the same birthday as Princess Dolma and is facing a crisis, waiting for him to rescue.

He can't wait so aimlessly, he must take the initiative to explore, at least find someone whose birth date coincides to determine whether there is a life and death catastrophe.

And if you want to know the personal privacy of other people's birthdays, there is a profession that is the most convenient, and that is fortune telling. Fortune telling must say the birth date. However, although Yang Xianmao had learned witchcraft, he had not learned fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and he did not want to learn how to tell fortunes in order to achieve his goal.

However, when he first crossed over to Yuzhou, he had given others a fortune telling and curing illness, and that kind of fortune telling was actually just his use of witchcraft, not the real meaning of the fortune telling.

Now, he has decided to repeat the old trick and still heal people. In this way, on the one hand, you can understand the birth date through fortune telling, and on the other hand, you can also use fortune telling to do some good deeds, accumulate virtue and do good, and help some people who need his help.

After he got more than 200 cars of treasures from the Great Song Dynasty Palace given to him by Wanyan Zongwang, he could be said to be rich and rivaled the country, and he didn't care about the fortune-telling money at all.

He set up a stall on the side of the road and hung a white banner with fortune-telling and curing diseases, specializing in curing incurable diseases, and placed it on the side of the most lively street.

In fact, according to his financial resources, he can open a super luxurious fortune-telling parlor to tell people's fortunes, but only a few big families dare to go to that kind of place. How many ordinary people dare to go to that kind of place to find someone to tell fortunes with three or five copper coins in their arms? That would not allow him to look for people with the same birth date and eight characters more widely.

Yang Xianmao sat behind the fortune telling stall and looked at the people coming and going, and some people looked at the words on his hanging in a strange way and pouted disdainfully and left.

They think that such things as fortune-telling and healing are just charlatans. Because in their view, fortune-telling is fortune-telling, which is linked to ghosts and gods, and curing diseases is a matter of Langzhong, which is based on herbs. When the two things are combined, it always feels a bit nondescript, and often only charlatans can claim to be proficient in both. What's more, it's still a young person like Yang Xianmao.

Young people always make people feel unreliable, and there are very few people who come to him for fortune telling and healing. Even if there were people who came to him, it was just an ordinary disease, not an incurable disease.

This made Yang Xianmao neither achieve his goal nor have any sense of accomplishment. It's just that Yang Xianmao still sat there lightly, ignoring the disdainful eyes of passers-by.

However, he was still a little anxious in his heart. If we continue like this, when will we achieve our goals?

He quickly thought of another way, he spent a day walking around the entire Yangzhou City, and found a middle-aged man with an excellent fortune telling stall, known as "Zhang Tiezui". His fortune-telling booth was endless, and there were almost no customers.

In the evening, Yang Xianmao took advantage of the fact that he was about to close the stall and stepped forward to tell his fortune.

Zhang Tiezui glanced at a jade pendant that Yang Xianmao hung on his waist.

After storing the treasure on the desert island of Ling Xiao Venerable, when Yang Xianmao returned, he brought a large bag of treasures as expenses. Among them was a very exquisite jade pendant, which he liked very much, so he wore it on his waist.

Zhang Tiezui is a knowledgeable person, and he can see at a glance that this jade pendant is expensive, but Yang Xianmao is only wearing a long gown made of ordinary fabric, obviously deliberately hiding his identity.

The fortune teller is best at looking at faces, and after discovering this detail, Zhang Tiezui immediately understood what to do. He deliberately looked at Yang Xianmao in surprise and asked, "Little brother is so bright." I don't know what it is?"

"Calculate the fortune of the year. ”

Zhang Tiezui nodded, asked about the eight characters of his birthday, his fingers kept pinching on the knuckles for a moment, and he looked at Yang Xianmao meaningfully and said: "The life of the little brother is very good, he is rich and noble, he is in and out of the picture, and he is also rich in the world." ”

Yang Xianmao smiled, patted his coarse cloth robe, and said, "You are obviously talking nonsense, I can still be rich and rich like this, rich in the world?"

The fortune teller smiled and said, "How can a koi fish be a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon in the wind and rain!"

Yang Xianmao pretended to be surprised, and arched his hand: "I think I do have such a fate, when I was a child, someone said that our ancestral grave often smokes. There will definitely be a rich and noble person in the family, and maybe this person will be on me. ”

Zhang Tiezui laughed and said: "That's for sure, I have opened my iron mouth and copper mouth and steel teeth, and I have never failed to break people's wealth and wealth." Little brother, you are waiting for the future to be in the future, rich and rich, and don't forget to come to Yangzhou City to thank me on that day. Hahaha"

Yang Xianmao arched his hand and said, "Don't wait for that time, I will thank you for your auspicious words today." Seeing that the stall is about to be closed, I invited my husband to the restaurant for a drink, and asked my husband to tell my fortune, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Yang Xianmao took out a silver ingot of white flowers from his arms and gently placed it on the table.

This ingot of silver is enough for five taels, the iron mouth suddenly became short of breath, and those who came to him to tell fortunes were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the rich people generally did not go to the street to find people who set up stalls to tell fortunes, but went to high-end photo studios to ask those so-called masters to tell fortunes. Most of the people on the street are ordinary people or even poor people, and it is already very generous to be able to pay a hundred and ten cents. Occasionally, I can see someone who is given one or two taels of silver, and that is already a big luck. No one has ever said that a fortune will be counted and a silver or two will be paid, except for the young man in front of him.

Zhang Tiezui gasped, pressed the ecstasy in his heart, but his face was faint, and he said with his hand on the edge of the table: "Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do, so let's bother the little brother with a glass of wine, and talk while eating." Little brother, if you have any doubts, just ask me, I will give you a good life to show you, and you will be satisfied. ”

immediately cleaned up the hexagram stall and followed Yang Xianmao to a nearby restaurant called "Jiang Shangke".

This restaurant is one of the most upscale restaurants in Yangzhou. Zhang Tiezui saw Yang Xianmao take him to this kind of restaurant, and his heart was even more happy. It seems that this lord is really a real person who does not show his face, and the meat of the bun is not on the folds. If you do well today, maybe you can knock him out a sum of money, I can't help but think about it.

Yang Xianmao ordered a few delicate side dishes and a pot of wine. This table alone costs at least five taels of silver, which makes Zhang Tiezui even more sure of Yang Xianmao's financial resources in his heart.

At the wine table, the two of them spoke very speculatively. Yang Xianmao sincerely asked, Zhang Tiezui said nonsense, and said some things that Yang Xianmao liked to hear, and Yang Xianmao nodded again and again with joy.

When he was almost finished, Yang Xianmao changed the topic and went straight to his purpose this time.

He sighed: "When I was a child, there was a monk who once told my parents that my life is too weak, and I must eat a hundred family meals, and I can't raise them at home, otherwise my life will not be long. So my dad let me travel the world. When I arrived in Yangzhou, I finished playing everything I should have played, and I was too lazy to go anywhere else. Now the north is occupied by the Jin State, and there is nothing to do in Yangzhou. When I was a child, I used to learn some Qihuang techniques, and I knew some home remedies and earthwork. That is also the old Taoist monk told my parents, saying that although I have been rich and noble all my life, but I will inevitably have some minor illnesses and disasters, it is important to learn some earthwork remedies, so my father and mother asked Lang Zhong to teach me. Today there was nothing to do, I wandered around the street, and when I saw a lot of people at my husband's stall, I knew that he must be a high-ranking man. I have such an idea, I wonder if the gentleman agrees?"

Zhang Tiezui was a little drunk, squinted his drunken eyes and said: "Little brother, you and I hit it off at first sight, if there is anything I can help you say, there is no reason not to allow it." ”

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed, arched his hand and said: "That's the case, I have nothing to do anyway, and I also want to help people and accumulate yin virtue." But to tell you the truth, I also found a stall in Yangzhou City, telling fortunes and treating people, but I was too young for anyone to believe me. So I want to make a companion with you, sir, and set up a fortune-telling stall next to your hexagram stall. If you come to you for fortune telling, you can look at me, and if I nod to you, you can recommend him to me and let me tell his fortune and heal him. Don't worry, all the money I collect from fortune telling belongs to you, and I don't want a penny. If he invites me to his home to tell my fortune and heal my illness, please also ask my husband to go with me, and give all the thank-you gifts to him, and I don't want a penny. You also figured it out before, my family still has some money, and I don't care about it. In addition, I will reward Mr. with another thirty taels of silver every month, I wonder what Mr. thinks?"

When Zhang Tiezui heard that there was such a good thing, not only did all the money for this young man's fortune telling belong to him, but he also had to give thirty taels of benefits every month, how could he not agree. Suddenly his eyebrows opened and he smiled, his mouth was crooked, and he said: "Hahaha, many people are not benevolent to the rich, unlike the little brother, you are so kind-hearted, you will definitely be blessed by the heavens in the future, and you will be lucky when you are in trouble." ”

Yang Xianmao pretended to be surprised and said, "So Mr. agreed?"

"The so-called helping others is the foundation of happiness, since you have such an idea of helping others, how can I not help you. Tomorrow you can come, but if you meet someone who has come to seek medical treatment, I will let him come to your stall. ”

Yang Xianmao shook his head and said, "Not all those who seek medical treatment call him, you have to ask him about his condition first, and then look at my expression, if I nod, you can recommend it to me." Because of ordinary diseases, I don't know how to treat them, and I don't bother to bother with that, I just want to treat incurable diseases, especially those that are bizarre. Because all I learned was this kind of healing, some of the meaning of witch doctors, you know? I can't cure other diseases, so you have to see me nod your head and then recommend it to me. ”
