Chapter 55 [Charlatans? 】

It's strange to say!

Although the old Taoist pretended to be mysterious, he always sat there cross-legged, which was faintly strange, not like the style of ordinary charlatans.

If it is an ordinary charlatan, he usually puts on a high-level posture, and after attracting the attention of others, he will soon reveal his purpose.

However, this old way is different, he just sits there with his knees crossed.

You must know that it is a cold winter month, and there is thick snow everywhere on the ground, and the weather is very cold, and it is even colder in the snow, not to mention an old Taoist priest, even a strong young man who sits on the ground can't last long.

Gu Tianya pondered for a moment, and faintly guessed a possibility, he thought that the reason why this old way was like this was nothing more than to show a higher demeanor, he was sitting in the snow in the cold weather, which could indeed give people an unfathomable feeling.

However, it was too cold to sit like this.

If you sit for a long time, you are afraid that you will be susceptible to cold and illness.

Gu Tianya was kind-hearted after all, and he didn't want to see people like this, so he sighed softly helplessly, and lowered his voice to everyone: "If you brothers have a heart, you might as well count a hexagram ......."

This is to help the old Taoist priest solicit business.

The old Taoist priest squatted on the side of the road in the cold weather, posing a high-ranking posture of sleeping in the snow, once someone passed, immediately sat cross-legged, which was obviously already cold and could not stand it, so he would take the opportunity to change from lying down to sitting...... Why do you suffer from such a cold weather?

It's nothing more than life compelled to earn a bite to eat and drink.

Even if he knew that the other party was a charlatan, Gu Tianya still couldn't have any disgust, the reason was actually very simple, this old man was really a little old, if he could make the other party earn a mouthful of food and drink, Gu Tianya didn't care about paying some kindness.

He personally exported to help solicit business, and the twenty thugs naturally wanted to give him a face, so Yan Jiu was the first to step forward and said with a smile: "You old Taoist, you don't have to sit, count a hexagram for us, how many copper coins do you need?" ”

Saying that, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull the old Taoist priest up from the ground, but the old Taoist priest shook his head again and again, and said with a serious face: "No, no, the poor Taoist is feeling the cold of heaven and earth, this general should not break my merits." ”

Huh?

Everyone was stunned.

Yan Jiu frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Old Taoist, don't be embarrassed, in fact, everyone knows that you are a ninth-rate person in the rivers and lakes, if you stay in the past, who will look at you?" Our brother Gu is afraid that you will freeze, and wants you to take over some business and leave early, but you don't know what to do, and you still want to sit on the ground and pretend to be a master? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again to pull the old Taoist priest up directly.

I don't know that the old Taoist priest shook his head again and again, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, the poor Taoist is feeling the cold of heaven and earth, this general doesn't want to break my merits......"

Yan Jiuqi's face was cold, and he opened his mouth to scold twice.

Gu Tianya suddenly spoke, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Yan Jiu, you can just pull him up, don't care about his words, this old Taoist priest should have a numb leg." ”

Saying that, he smiled again, looked at the old Taoist priest very interestingly, and said again: "He pretended to be a master for a long time, but his legs were numb and he couldn't stand up, he was afraid that his legs would be weak after being pulled up by you, and when the time came, he would break the demeanor of the master he worked hard to pretend to be......"

These words made Yan Jiu stunned.

The crowd was amazed.

Everyone took their eyes to see the old Taoist priest, and sure enough, they saw that the old Taoist priest's face was flushed with shame, although his face was flushed, but he was still quibbling, and kept waving his hand and said: "No, no, the poor Taoist legs and feet are very neat, I am feeling the cold of the world, don't break my merits......"

It's a pity that Yan Jiu didn't listen anymore this time, and suddenly stretched out his hand and cleared the river: "You stand up for me." ”

Directly grabbed the old Taoist priest and dragged him up.

At this time, I found that the old Taoist priest's legs were trembling, and everyone let out a laugh and joked around the old Taoist priest.

Cheng Chumo and the others were amazed, and the three little guys all stretched their heads in front of Gu Tianya, and said with a puzzled face: "How did you guess it, how did you guess it?" Why didn't we even find out, but you know his leg is numb? ”

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said: "This is a little common sense in life, you can guess it with a little attention, it is the weather of the cold winter and the moon, the young man in the prime of life is sitting in the snow and still can't hold it, he is an old Taoist priest, his muscles, bones, qi and blood have long been decayed and weak, he meditates on his knees for a long time, at least fifty percent of them may lead to leg numbness." ”

"There is only a fifty percent chance, you dare to be sure?" The eyes of the three little ones widened.

Gu Tianya glanced at the three of them, and for some reason suddenly taught earnestly, and said with a point: "There are thousands of things in the world, there are always traces to be found, as long as you think about it, you can return to the source, I really only had fifty percent guesses at the beginning, but I saw that he kept rejecting Yan Jiu's kindness, so I secretly wondered, why would he reject other people's kindness?" Is it really because of the cold of the world? I'm afraid it's inconvenient to stand up! So, 50 percent might become 70 percent ......"

The three little guys looked at each other when they listened, obviously their brains were still confused, and after a long time passed, Cheng Chumo stammered: "Even if... Even if it's 70% possible, it's not 10% certain. ”

Gu Tianya suddenly smiled, as if he wanted to instill some truth to the three little guys, and said leisurely: "Things in the world can be seventy percent sure, you can already give it a try, you are from the Tang Dynasty guard, and you are likely to go to the army for training in the future, as a leading general, you must have a heart that dares to break the kettle, once you are sure that things can be seventy percent sure, you must immediately muster up the courage to attack quickly, this is the way of a fierce general, do not hesitate." ”

The three little guys nodded again and again, couldn't help but puff up their chests, and said loudly: "That's that, we must dare to break the boat." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Gu Tianya, and said very curiously: "Are you like this?" ”

Gu Tianya smiled again, and said slowly: "Of course I can't do this, I must be twelve percent sure before I make a move." ”

The three little ones were dumbfounded.

After a long time, the three of them opened their mouths with strange faces, and said in a daze: "You let us be 70% sure of it, but we have to be 12% sure to do it, this... This... How does this feel like fooling us? ”

"How can you!" Gu Tianya's face was full of smiles, and he suddenly reached out and patted the three little guys, and quipped: "How can a shrewd child like you be easily coaxed?" In my opinion, the people in this world who can deceive you are not yet born. ”

"Hey, that sounds like a lot of energy. Hahaha, you're right, we're like monkeys, how can we be easily coaxed. ”

The three little fools were so proud that they had forgotten to investigate the difference between seventy percent and twelve percent.

But their family members were red, and everyone had an embarrassed and helpless look on their faces, and someone suddenly arched his hand towards Gu Tianya, and said sincerely: "Please, don't be like this, tell our little boy the truth, and tell them that you were just funny." ”

Gu Tianya's face was solemn, and he shook his head solemnly and said, "I'm not funny, but sincere." Seventy percent of the grasp of the saying is really the way of the fierce general. There are even more people who break the boat, and they dare to fight hard when they have a fifty percent chance, if you really care about your little son, then let them remember my words all the time. ”

Those family members were obviously stunned, as if they were very dissatisfied with Gu Tianya's remarks.

But Gu Tianya no longer explained, and there were some things he couldn't explain to these family members.

At this time, I suddenly heard the three boys babbling, and said in a very surprised tone: "Look at it, look at it, the old Taoist priest is no longer trembling, sure enough, she was numb in her legs just now, and it took a long time to come to her senses, hahaha, interesting and interesting, really interesting." ”

Everyone was interrupted by this, and immediately looked at the old Taoist priest again.

But seeing that the old Taoist priest's face was flushed, he kept arguing: "Why is it that your legs are numb?" It's not leg numbness! Can the things of cultivators make their legs numb......"

The crowd giggled and laughed, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Only Yan Jiu was still worried about Gu Tianya's kindness, and suddenly asked: "Since you have eased your mind, let's start, Brother Gu let us take care of your business, we can't help but sell his face, old Taoist, tell me, if you are allowed to count a hexagram, how much copper money should be given to you." ”

It seems that because of hearing the copper coin, the old Taoist priest is finally no longer the hardest, but he still pretends to be a master, and he just puts on an esoteric posture, and says crookedly: "The iron mouth is straightforward, counting a person's life, and the poor road is playing the world, only for those who are destined to solve the ......."

"Less verbose!" Yan Jiu shouted loudly, and said with three points of anger: "If you dare to talk again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife." ”

The old Taoist priest hurriedly changed his words and said: "The so-called fate, meeting is fate, since there is already fate, since there is already fate, it should be divination and hexagram." Ahem, this general, the hexagram for people to interpret the hexagram needs five texts. ”

When it comes to hexagrams, it seems that both eyes are shining, where there is still a little bit of superior demeanor, it is clear that he is a charlatan.

Yan Jiuqiang endured the crookedness, and said directly: "Then you calculate it for me." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and asked, "What is it?" ”

Yan Jiu hesitated slightly, then waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Whatever you do, I'll give you money after the calculation." ”

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest suddenly played a scoundrel, and even stretched out his hand directly in front of him, and said with a smile: "Chengyi, Wuwen." ”

Yan Jiu was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Before you start, you have to give money?" ”

As a result, the old Taoist priest shook his head slowly, smiled and said again: "It has begun, it has ended, the general should not rely on the debt, and the hexagram will be inherited by the five texts." ”

This rogue move finally provoked Yan Jiu's heart to fire, he was about to roar, and suddenly stood on the spot in a daze, just because the old Taoist priest suddenly opened his mouth leisurely, looking at him with a deep face: "Poor Dao Fang has just shouted, you are a general......

"Aha, laughing to death!"

The voices of three little ducks suddenly sounded next to him, and he said, "You can also be called a fortune teller?" You're clearly deceiving people with your eyes open. Old Taoist, you can take a good look, although the uncle of this women's army is extraordinary, but the armor on his body is a soldier's system, you actually say that he is a general, why don't you say that he is a general......"

The three little guys chattered and consciously exposed the details of the old Taoist.
