Qin Chuan always instigated the old Taoist to come to Qingzhou City to set up a stall to tell fortunes, and he would definitely be able to earn some money, which was much more interesting than the wilderness Taoist temple in Mataling. It's just that when Xie Bald agreed to let go of the paving of Baiyun Temple, Qin Chuan was a little apprehensive, after all, although he had talked about fortune-telling many times, after all, he was not a shocking person, and he would not know the ability to predict good and bad fortunes.

"What should I do, old man? You know how to do this amazing thing. There are a lot of people standing next to Baiyunguan on the outer street, some of them are ready to look at our jokes. Even if we don't do it for ourselves, we are also for Uncle Xie!" Qin Chuan said with a nose and eyes, and seemed to have decided that Xie Bald was already his long-lost uncle.

However, Lao Dao saw Qin Chuan and Xie Bald for so long, how could he not know that Qin Chuan had already seen these tricks, so Lao Dao touched his beard and smiled: "You and I are both people in the Daomen, but we are not people in the Daomen who predict good and bad fortunes. Before, it was rumored in the martial arts rivers and lakes that the cultivation was a humble shocking person, the Tao was not deep, and he could only tell the hexagram for others, and there were a lot of swaggering and deceiving people, looking at the appearance and saying some auspicious words, he could not be regarded as a real shocking person; ”

Qin Chuan's expression was solemn, he hadn't been so nervous for a long time, thinking about it, he even began to blush a little: "What can I do?" Not to mention that the other people in Baiyun Temple are staring at us, then Xie Bald has been setting up a stall here for decades, and he is definitely not a master to be messed with, I promised him before, we are seven, he is three, you reluctantly agreed." If you know that we are also quacks, this is not easy. ”

Lao Dao stood in front of the paving, carefully sorting out the things sold, which were nothing more than common things such as transfer beads, love ropes, and child charms, which were no different from other paving. It's just that the runes on it are crooked, and I don't know if it's true or not, so the runes and seals of each family are not the same. According to Xie Baldzi, since this is a branch of the Shocking Gate, the talisman seals of each family are different.

Besides, if you can really understand Fu Seal, then you must be a long-famous Fu Seal Master in the martial arts rivers and lakes, how can such people set up stalls on the outer streets of Baiyun Temple in Qingzhou City, and compete for jobs with those swaggering and deceitful Jianghu tourists?

Lao Dao looked at the people who came and went, and motioned for Qin Chuan to come to him: "When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk about ghosts." If a person believes that the person in the gate can predict the good and the bad and can help him to seek good fortune and change his luck, then he must also have something in mind that cannot be solved, and he will come to Baiyun Temple to ask the Heavenly Monarch as a last resort. Have you ever heard of the strong men of the martial arts rivers and lakes, and asked these famous people of the rivers and lakes for divination?"

Qin Chuan shook his head: "I haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist." Even if it is a strong person in the martial arts rivers and lakes, there must be a knot in his heart that is difficult to open, so he naturally wants to find the master in the shocking door, or ask him to spy on the heavenly opportunity, or steal luck. ”

Lao Dao smiled: "Although I am also a Taoist, I am not interested in shocking words, do you know why?"

Qin Chuan didn't know what the old way was, so he shook his head again, indicating that he didn't know.

The old Taoist said seriously: "I never tell my fortune, because ...... I don't accept my fate. Even if you are a master of the astonishing family, you can calculate my heaven and earth avenue, and you can calculate my luck, so what? Even if you figure it out, I don't recognize it. Until the moment I close my eyes, the so-called life cannot be counted. Even if I can count my death in the third watch, I have to hold out until the fifth watch. ”

Qin Chuan was quite touched: "Since you don't believe in fate yourself, then let's set up a stall here to tell fortunes, aren't we coaxing everyone?"

Lao Dao shook his head: "Wrong, this is not to coax everyone. The people who came to Baiyun Temple must have something difficult to solve in their hearts, and they just want to ask the Taoist Heavenly Monarch to show them a clear way. In that case, let's show him the way to others, how can it be regarded as deceiving everyone?"

"But you are not a shocking person, how do you know what the people who come and go are asking for?And how do you know and solve the crux of their hearts?" Qin Chuan was still worried that he would make a mistake in the first fortune calculation and lose face in front of everyone.

Lao Dao shook his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and pretended to be profound: "I haven't seen a real shocking master, but from the mouth of the storyteller of the floating door, I must have heard a lot of rumors, and you are optimistic, there are some doorways here, maybe it can help you understand the Zen machine." ”

At this moment, a man who looked like a scholar walked up, this person was wearing the unique robe of Bailu Academy, holding a fan in his hand in the Baiyun Temple in the winter, fanning the cold air from time to time. With a piece of jade pendant on his waist, it must be worth a lot of money.

Seeing this, Lao Dao recited words in his mouth: "In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery." The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the flowers of the capital in one day. Students who enter Beijing to take the exam come here to draw a meritorious lot, and if the calculation is not accurate, they will not be charged a single silver coin. ”

The scholar was passing by with his feet raised, and when he heard Lao Dao chanting poetry, he stood in front of Lao Dao's stall and said, "But you are chanting poetry?"

Lao Dao still put his hands behind his back, and said pretending to be profound: "A few miscellaneous poems, bothering your ears." ”

The scholar played with the jade pendant on his waist and carefully recalled the words just now: "The spring breeze is proud, and I see the flowers of the capital one day." This poem is interesting. I don't know what kind of horse you're riding, what kind of flowers are you looking at?"

Qin Chuan looked at it on the side, a few lines of poetry he wrote casually after getting drunk at the Tongfu Inn that day, and he was praised by this scholar, he knew that he should have drunk a few more glasses of wine and a few more poems that night.

Lao Dao heard the scholar asking himself, turned around and asked Qin Chuan: "Tell me, what kind of horse is that horse?

Qin Chuan stood in front of the stall and said to the readers: "The horse is a blue-maned curly horse, which can travel a hundred miles a day and gallop between the world and the world; ”

Qin Chuan was in the wilderness Taoist temple of Mataling before, and heard the old Taoist talk about a lot of things about the capital, although he had not really been to the capital, but he seemed to be very familiar with where it was, as if it was written by a person who had lived in the capital for a long time, and naturally knew that there were blue-maned curly horses in the capital, and there were daisy flowers next to the Tai Academy, so in this verse, there is a trace of prosperity.

Hearing Qin Chuan's explanation, this made the reader say a few good words one after another, which made the person watching the lively fortune teller next to him startled, as if he was laughing at the reader for making a fuss.

And Jia Yuan and the others standing next to him were also secretly surprised, they couldn't imagine that this person who was dressed so ordinarily would actually chant poems against him. It is precisely because of this that everyone deeply suspects that these two people are not shocking people, but ordinary wanderers. After all, most readers in the world do not recognize the shocking door, and only think that it is a ghost and god theory, so the shocking door has always been incompatible with the reader. If it weren't for the fact that the reader in front of him came out of the Baiyun Temple, Jia Yuan and the others would not have bothered to look at this reader.

At this moment, the scholar said slowly: "Your Excellency has done such a good poem, I am really afraid that I will forget, and please give me Mobao!"

Lao Dao and Qin Chuan were taken aback, why did this good stall and fortune teller become a calligrapher and painter......
