Chapter 15: The Stick Street

When Zhou Xiaolong's brain appeared with the strange appearance of scratching the hair of his armpits and singing a little tune, he couldn't help but shiver, and goosebumps stood up all over his body, which was more terrifying than seeing those heinous evil spirits.

"However, that uncle, I think, something will happen to him soon......" Zhou Xiaolong said with a sigh.

"Ah, why do you say that?!" Xiaoya asked puzzled.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Back at Sunshine Advertising Company, Xia Xue looked at the two pictures brought back by Zhou Xiaolong, and Xia Xue was very satisfied.

Uncle Scratch, although he is a little weird and a little mother, but he doesn't have to say anything about his business ability, and his painting level is high and his speed is fast.

On this day, Xia Xue had been working overtime in the advertising company until more than nine o'clock before returning home, and Zhou Xiaolong fell asleep in the car.

In the next few days, Xia Xue was very busy, and Zhou Xiaolong felt that he had finally regained his life, and he couldn't waste time sitting on the sofa every day playing fruit entertainment.

Zhou Xiaolong felt that he had the ability to do something, making money was a trivial matter, and benefiting mankind was the lifelong pursuit of Xuanmen disciples.

……

Anyway, on this morning, Zhou Xiaolong said to Xia Xue that he wanted to go around the Great Zen Monastery to see if he could find something to do.

Xia Xue agreed, but she repeatedly told Zhou Xiaolong not to be reckless, and not to cause trouble.

Zhou Xiaolong agreed, and the two broke up downstairs.

Xia Xue continued to work in the company, so Zhou Xiaolong hired a taxi and drove in the direction of the Great Zen Temple.

The Great Zen Temple is a monk temple, which was built in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, is very famous in Jinhai, and the incense is also particularly vigorous, and it has a history of several hundred years.

The Great Zen Monastery has been repaired and expanded several times, including the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Great Compassion Palace, the Xuanzang Master Sutra Hall and other buildings.

Among them, there are hundreds of Buddha statues from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and it is said that the spirit bones of the famous monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty were enshrined.

Especially on some special holidays of the lunar calendar, there are more people who come to the Great Zen Temple to set up stalls, which is like a temple fair, and of course, there are also many fortune-telling and word-measuring magic sticks to beg for a living.

The taxi stopped far away, Zhou Xiaolong paid the fare, and walked inside alone.

There are a lot of people coming and going, most of them are elderly, and people who have more faith in this kind of thing, after burning incense, stop by for a stroll.

Zhou Xiaolong found that the Great Zen Monastery was completely different from the Great Zen Monastery in his impression.

More than 100 years ago, this large Zen temple was only a small temple, although the incense was vigorous, but there was only a large hall and a few low meditation rooms, but now, it has been built on a large scale.

Behind the Great Zen Temple, there are many paper shops, magic shops, and there are also many god stick stalls on the side of the road, so the street behind is also known as the god stick street.

Zhou Xiaolong paid attention to the fortune-telling and feng shui stalls on the side of the road, the stalls were very simple, basically only two things needed to prepare for business.

A piece of yellow paper and a small bench, on which are written advertising slogans such as word measurement and fortune telling, the small bench is used to sit.

However, although the so-called gentlemen sitting on the small bench were all wearing sunglasses, Zhou Xiaolong could feel that behind the sunglasses, there was a pair of burning greedy eyes.

Obviously, these are charlatans who pretend to be blind.

After watching it for a while, Zhou Xiaolong was a little itchy and wanted to set up a stall to give it a try.

If you meet a customer and make some money, maybe you won't come back in vain today.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaolong went to the paper shop to buy a large piece of yellow paper and borrowed the brush in the store, but when he held the brush up, he didn't know what to write for a while.

Since it is an advertisement, it must be distinctive, and it can't be the same as what other charlatans who set up stalls, so wouldn't there be no bright spots?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xiaolong dipped the brush with ink and wrote only two big characters - omnipotent.

I have to say that although Zhou Xiaolong is young, he has practiced calligraphy for several years.

Holding this "almighty" signboard, Zhou Xiaolong ran out with a smile, found a place where there were not many people, and spread the yellow paper on the ground.

Because of the wind, I had to pick up four more small stones to hold down the four corners.

It's a pity that there are no small stools or small horses, simply, Zhou Xiaolong sits on the ground, anyway, it's summer, and his butt is not too cold.

Even if this stall was set up, sure enough, it didn't take long for several tourists to stand in front of Zhou Xiaolong's stall, pointing and pointing.

People are more just curious, because other stalls are written on word measurement, feng shui, fortune telling, etc., at least there is a focus, but Zhou Xiaolong's signboard only has two words "omnipotent", which is a bit too exaggerated, right?

Looking at Zhou Xiaolong again, he looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and he doesn't pay attention to what he wears, so he doesn't look like a capable master.

is so capable of bragging at such a young age, it seems that he has been a little liar since he was a child, and he will not become a big liar when he grows up.

Some tourists just smiled and shook their heads without saying anything, but some were more mouthful.

Someone asked, "Little brother, what do you mean by this omnipotence?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong said with a sincere face: "Almighty means that you can do anything, as long as you have a problem, I can solve it all!" ”

Someone couldn't help but sarcastically say: "You kid can really brag, bragging about not paying taxes!" ”

Zhou Xiaolong still smiled and said: "I didn't brag, I never lied, I never lied." ”

People stopped and watched for a while, there was no excitement, there was no interest, and the idlers slowly left.

However, at the back of the crowd, there was a person who did not leave for a long time.

It wasn't until everyone was gone that the man lowered his head and slowly walked to the opposite side of Zhou Xiaolong.

Zhou Xiaolong raised his head and glanced at that person, and immediately, he felt that this person was definitely not as simple as an ordinary spectator.

The man was about sixty years old, with some dark skin and short hair, although there were some gray hairs, but the hair was very thick and dense, like steel needles standing on the top of his head.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, lion nose, big mouth, deep nasolabial folds, exuding a murderous aura.

The disciples of Xuanmen also have a certain amount of research on physiognomy.

Zhou Xiaolong already felt that this man, don't look at his age, but he is energetic, probably an official who eats in the yamen.

"Little sir, what do you do?" The man asked.

"Word telling, fortune telling, feng shui, moving ancestral tombs, subduing demons, and being proficient in everything......" Zhou Xiaolong was not afraid, and said it truthfully.

"Little sir, the general masters of metaphysics are all respected old men, but you are really young, can you learn so many methods? You're not bragging, are you? ”

"Uncle, if you don't like me well, you can go somewhere else, why stop here?"

"Okay, I like your confidence," the old man in front of him smiled, and took out a stack of money from his pocket, "This is my bonus this month, there are two thousand yuan, which is a little reward, little sir, this is not the place to talk, can we borrow a step to speak?" ”

"No problem."

Zhou Xiaolong was not polite, took the money, put it in his trouser pocket, and then picked up the yellow paper on the ground, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
