Chapter Thirty-Five: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Is it such a coincidence? I have gone through a lot of hardships and accepted my fate, and I plan to return to the sect to concentrate on cultivation before I met a fellow countryman?
"Where are you from?" The surprise came so suddenly and unrealistically. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Lao Tzu is a CD person, during the festival, I played mahjong for three days and three nights, and the last Tianhu! As a result, when I woke up, I was here, which is almost 20 years. The fortune teller's voice was full of obvious loneliness. What about you? β
"Oh, I'm from Nanjing, and I went to work with my friends to squeeze the subway, but I fell to my death in the crowd. Can you help me see if she's here too? "Eagerly grabbed the fortune teller.
"Huh! Do you really think Lao Tzu is a fortune teller? At the beginning, it was just to win money playing mahjong, and by the way, I learned a little social psychology. In other words, the people here are really simple and very funny. The fortune teller poured a basin of cold water on him.
"You just say that there are too many fools, and there are not enough liars!"
"Ahem, subtlety is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation!"
"Okay, so how can you tell I'm a fellow?"
"Because you are in a hurry, the people of this era work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and there is nothing to hurry at night."
"You're not going to use this trick to trick someone, are you? Can there be a few tricks in this, and it won't be treated as a neuropathy? β
"The success rate is really low, so I pretend to be a fortune teller, and it's understandable that I talk a little nervously. Okay, let's stop talking about this, you can tell me about China in 2036?"
"How do I know? I'm here in 2016. β
"Wait a minute, Lao Tzu also came in 2016, and he has been here for 20 years."
The two looked at each other for a while, and Chen Shuo was already covered in hair, his mouth was dry, and he didn't know what to say.
The fortune teller spoke first: "Have you ever heard of the asymmetry of time itself or a parallel universe?" β
Chen Shuo shook his head and said confidently: "I am a liberal arts student. β
"Lao Tzu is also a liberal arts student, and reading more is still conducive to physical and mental health. Although the research fields of these two terms are mostly in the field of physics, the meanings are relatively complex. To put it simply, the asymmetry of time itself means that summer insects are indescribable, and each creature has a relatively fixed survival time, so one year is enough for some animals to be full of offspring, and time has been passing according to the law, but its meaning is very different in different places. Parallel universes refer to the existence of multiple worlds like the earth after the Big Bang, and there are people in each world who are exactly the same as the two of us, and sudden accidents lead to different endings, just like SchrΓΆdinger's cat, which can be life or death, and can be born and died at the same time. β
"So we're all the living dead now?" The theory itself is difficult to add the dubbing of dead words, and I was dizzy to listen for a long time before I grabbed the last sentence.
The fortune teller sighed deeply, and finally met his contemporaries to chat, but he never expected to be semi-literate.
"Let's not talk about those fictions, let's talk about real life, I noticed that you are with a cultivator?"
"Well, as soon as I came over, I was a disciple of the Xiuzhen Sect, do you say that people can really cultivate immortals?"
"We've both traveled to this place where there's no history, and what's impossible. It's a pity that this place is a feudal hereditary system, and Lao Tzu's poems and songs are useless. β
"Aren't you still making a living off your mouth?" Chen Shuo kindly reminded him not to have an inferiority complex.
"As a person who has come over, I will give you a word of advice, don't think that you are the protagonist, and you will die if you have nothing to do."
"Huh? Why? β
"It's all tears when I talk about it, Lao Tzu has also read a lot of people who have traveled through the holy books, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to challenge the local bullies, and then he didn't get out of bed for three months."
"Uh...... Is there something wrong with that bully's sexual orientation? β
"You turtle son! Lao Tzu was beaten up. β
Chen Shuo looked at the shabby shape of the fortune teller, and suddenly panicked in his heart, if he couldn't get famous when he ran here, then what was the point of everything?
Completely understanding Chen Shuo's expression of being shocked by the truth to the point of dementia, the fortune teller gently patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and then pointed his finger at the senior brother on the street with a pleasant expression to play tricks on the auspiciousness of the fried Mao.
"How do you two relate to you?"
"The fox is my newly acquired spirit animal, and the personable and extraordinary person is my senior brother, we are all friends of life and death, completely different from some people who go out into the world alone."
"Hehe, you see that the two of them feel more subtle and tacit when they stand together, isn't it a couple?"
Chen Shuo carefully observed the two people who were wandering in the crowd, playing intimately, and didn't seem to notice him. Strange, when did the two of them get on such a good footing?
The fortune teller read some information from Chen Shuo's confused expression, and said with a wry smile from a passerby: "What you see in front of you is not necessarily true, and what you don't see is not necessarily fake, maybe it's all fate." β
"Speak human words!"
"Tell me what is the point of us coming into this world?" Before Chen Shuo could say sarcastically, the fortune teller said to himself: "Who said that life must be meaningful? Maybe life itself is a coincidence. Besides, you don't have a personal appearance in modern times, so you have to hang up when you get here? β
Chen Shuo, who was enlightened, suddenly stared at the fortune teller with wide eyes, trying to get rid of the deep horror in his heart, and said categorically: "You are all a routine!" Trying to scam me out of money. β
The fortune teller smiled, with a helpless tone: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it." He turned and took two steps, but he didn't hear anyone calling, and suddenly stopped again.
With a courteous smile, he turned back to Chen Shuo's side, his eyes were shining: "Actually, Lao Tzu is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, known as a fortune operator, and he also sells gossip news part-time." For the sake of the two of us being so fateful, I will give you a 20% discount, do you have anything to ask? β
Chen Shuo, who saw through the disguise, laughed dryly, raised his feet and was about to leave.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, the fortune teller hurriedly stopped it with open arms, and said seductively: "Otherwise, Lao Tzu will tell you a message for free, and if you are interested, we will cooperate again." β
"Okay, I'd like to ask if there's a way back to modern times?"
"Are you kidding Lao Tzu?"
"I don't know? Forget it, goodbye! β
"Wait, the Manjushri School of the Four Great Sects of Xiuzhen is famous for its secret books of the Mind Law, maybe there are."
Chen Shuo pursed his lips disdainfully, he didn't want to talk about this kind of specious remark at all, just when he met a professional MLM person after the crossing.
"Hey~ didn't spare you, give me another chance!" The fortune teller pleaded with a sad face.
"Alright, you know anything useful to say." Don't dwell on it until now, Chen Shuo only blames himself for being too soft-hearted, give him a chance to perform, and listen to the jokes.
"The three-tailed fox you are talking about, it has a total of two contracts on it." Seeing Chen Shuo's puzzled expression, the fortune teller breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could still earn some money tonight.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't sign a life and death contract with him." Chen Shuo pretended to be relaxed.
When the fortune teller saw that his dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he completely broke off the idea of making a fortune, and said angrily: "Okay, come to me when you are interested in knowing." The contact method is to find a fortune teller in the local area at random, and report my name: Bu Operator 0107. I'll get back to you via a messenger. β
It turns out that the fortune-telling industry is still a chain operation, and even the work number is lined up to thousands, Chen Shuo feels more and more that this is an organized fraud group, and he must stay away!
Seeing the fortune operator disappear into the crowd, Chen Shuo, who was full of doubts, went to find his senior brother and join them.
He Muqing heard the familiar call, and slowly turned back with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "I've been waiting for you." "Instantly, I felt like my heart was overcharged, and it was beating irregularly at all.
Dizzy to be held by the senior brother, walked to the river to look at the fluttering lanterns, the appearance of men and women on both sides of the strait with affection makes it easy to think of the meaning of the lanterns. Chen Shuo, who has always loved to join in the fun, tried his best to resist the urge to buy one, and hurriedly pulled his senior brother to the periphery.
"Didn't you say you wanted to put lanterns before?" After that, he pointed to the stall next to him, "Take whatever you want, it's free." β
is worthy of being a senior brother who is observant, and he directly grasps the door of life. Chen Shuo comforted himself that he was repaying his wish for others, and at the same time, he quickly grabbed three lamps.
The girl who didn't get it was not happy, and asked complainingly: "Childe, this lantern is given to the only sweetheart, you can't take so much at once, right?" β
Chen Shuo did not hesitate to give one to Jixiang and the other to his senior brother, and looked at the girl provocatively: "I'm going to take so much, what?" β
The girl stomped her foot angrily, pointed at Chen Shuo with one hand, and was about to cry when she opened her mouth. Senior Brother suddenly handed over what was in his hand, pulled Chen Shuo and left directly.
"It's amazing to cry, I can cry for three days and three nights!" Chen Shuo was still unconvinced.
"Forget it, let's just put a lamp." Senior brother stroked Chen Shuo's back and gave him relief.
Chen Shuo turned around but met the auspicious and playful eyes, his face was flushed, he stuffed the lantern into his senior brother's arms, and said in a low voice: "I don't have anyone to give, you can play." With that, a man walked briskly.
"No one?" He Muqing sighed in a low voice.
Chen Shuo, who was walking against the shore, gradually sobered up with a cool breeze. If you come here by accident and don't have the mission to save the world, then how should you spend a long life? Do you want to work hard to cultivate the truth and break the way of heaven? It doesn't seem to have that talent; Otherwise, he will enter the world and be a powerful minister who covers the sky with one hand? It doesn't seem to have that IQ.
I kept moving forward in a tangle until I met a familiar lantern, on which words seemed to be written. Carefully scooped it up, and carefully identified the blurred ink, "He Muqing is willing to sacrifice everything to help you get what you want." β
The sudden confession suddenly stunned Chen Shuo, and the numb electric shock all over his body surged into his heart with indescribable satisfaction, could this be the reason for his existence? traveled through life and death, crossed time and space to come to this person, just to compose a forbidden love. Chen Shuo slapped his head and wanted to delete all the messy thoughts.
