Chapter 135: The Mysterious Old Man
An old man, dressed in coarse cloth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe fabric of this dress is not simple, because this cloth is self-woven cloth.
This cloth is thick and particularly wear-resistant, and now it is basically invisible, and the development of the textile industry has basically made this cloth extinct.
Chen Liuzi in the TV series "The Big Dyeing Room", when he started in Zhou Village, he was a small dyer, others brought the cloth they had woven, and Chen Liuzi helped them dye it into the color they liked.
That Chen Liuzi is Wei Xiaodong's favorite character.
Chen Liuzi was begging for food when he was young, and later he was accidentally accepted as a righteous son by the owner of the dyeing house, Zhou, with his ingenuity, although he was illiterate, he basically defeated the other dyeing houses in Zhou Village.
Wei Xiaodong fell into a reverie......
"Ahem......" The old man coughed a few times.
Wei Xiaodong reacted at this time, "I didn't see anything, I just looked." ”
"No, you're looking at the tree, aren't you?" said the old man.
Wei Xiaodong paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes!"
"This tree is a sacred tree!" said the old man.
"Divine Tree, old man, can you tell me more about it? "Wei Xiaodong has always been very respectful of the old man.
This tree has a history of more than 500 years, according to legend, there is a sacred bird rank cypress pestle, see the feng shui of this place is excellent, then spit cypress pestle, coincidentally it just fell on the top of the city gate tower, since then it has taken root here, until today. The old man said.
After Wei Xiaodong heard this, he was also very surprised, although he knew that this tree was different, but he didn't know that there was such an extraordinary history.
"I saw someone offering incense below, did I think this tree was a god?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Yes, isn't it a sacred tree? It's been more than 500 years, and if you think about it, how many wars and wars have been experienced, and everything else is gone, isn't it amazing that just this one tree, one city gate is still intact?" said the old man.
"It's a miracle indeed, and it's really rare to hear of such a thing. Wei Xiaodong said.
A few years ago, I saw a Taoist priest come here, I don't know what they were doing, and they were very happy when they finally left. The old man said again.
Hearing this, Wei Xiaodong was taken aback again, Taoist priests, Wei Xiaodong's cultivation of the Xuanling Technique can be said to be a kind of Taoist exercise, but what are they doing here?
"Old man, do you remember what they did here at that time?" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"Let me think about it! It's been a few years, when they plucked a leaf from a tree and started a dojo under the city gate, and the priest said something in his mouth, and I don't remember the rest. The old man said slowly.
After Wei Xiaodong heard this, he also felt that it was quite mysterious, except for taking a leaf that was the same as him, the others were different, it seemed that they had their own goals.
"Thank you, old man. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Don't thank you, I'm too lonely to talk to you, there are really not many young people like you who can talk so much to my old man!" said the old man.
Wei Xiaodong did not speak.
"Another thing that is also quite strange is that when I was young, I also met a fortune teller here, and he said something to me at that time. The old man said slowly.
Hearing this, Wei Xiaodong was very interested, so he asked, "What did you say?"
He said that the fate of my life is like this, it cannot be changed, but the fate of my descendants, especially the fate of my grandchildren, can be changed. The old man paused for a moment.
Wei Xiaodong listened with interest, did not interject, storytelling is his favorite thing to hear, plus it is still about fortune telling, he is even more interested.
"He said he didn't have the skills, but someone could. He said that the man was not now, but later. The old man paused again.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Wei Xiaodong.
He said that those who change their fortunes against the heavens will be punished by the heavens, but some people can escape the punishment of the heavens. The old man said.
Hearing this, Wei Xiaodong became more interested and listened seriously.
The old man saw that Wei Xiaodong listened very carefully, and what he said became more energetic.
He said that in the future, he did not know the specific time, and he said that I would meet a young man under the city gate, and that young man could change the fate of my grandson for me, but it all depends on fate. It's just that there is a possibility, and that person will not necessarily do it. The old man said.
Wei Xiaodong listened to it, why did he feel as if it had something to do with him?
If that person is talking about him, the fortune teller's fortune teller is also very good. Although I didn't know exactly what day it was, it was not easy to know one.
"He told me to come here more often than then, to greet young people if they saw them, and to tell me about the history of the tree. The old man paused again.
"But many years have passed since then, and I have told the story of this strange tree at the gate many times, and I am almost becoming a tour guide. Because no one else knows this gate tree better than I do. I'm out of hope. Today is the last time I will explain to young people, and I will not come out again. The old man said.
After Wei Xiaodong heard this, he understood that the person who the fortune teller said should be him. It seems that there are still a lot of masters!
Since this old man is so persistent, Wei Xiaodong wants to help him once. However, he won't say it explicitly, he just wants to help secretly.
"Old man, can you tell me about your grandson?" Wei Xiaodong said.
My grandson is six years old today, and he is in kindergarten, and he is in very poor health now, and he often gets sick. I'm really scared. If it goes on like this, it's hard to say whether it will be an adult or not. Not to mention anything else. The old man said sadly.
Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, especially if he is still a child, Wei Xiaodong is very willing to do such a thing. Because in this way, merit points can be obtained.
After Wei Xiaodong thought about it in his heart, he decided to help the old man's grandson once.
If Wei Xiaodong wanted to help the old man's grandson this time, he would definitely have to use the technique of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, and he would have to use the second method.
It is necessary to use puppets, and also cooperate with Wei Xiaodong's Xuanling exercises, which is very troublesome and very draining.
But Wei Xiaodong is very willing to do this. Satisfying the old man's wish that he has been thinking about for half his life should be a great merit! )
