The top management of Zhenxi County is not the county guard, but Lu Dinglu, the lord of Zhengxi City. In the previous dynasty, this place was called Zhenxi City, and after the Dalu Dynasty became stronger and stronger, its ambitions swelled and planned to take the entire Longxing Prefecture. Therefore, the west of the town was changed to the west of the expedition, which means that the west was conquered from this city. The name of the whole city was changed, and the other counties remained untouched.

The lord of the city, Lu Dinglu, was the prince of the Great Lu Dynasty, and he was the half-mother of Emperor Lu Dingying. With a million heroic divisions in hand, it is known as the Xilu Army.

This army made a great name when it pacified the former dynasty, and it didn't say anything else, only this expedition to the west city. When it was still Zhenxi City, it was invaded by Lu Dinglu and his army.

After entering the city, Lu Dinglu ordered the slaughter of the city for 100 days, killing 10,000 people every day, and slaughtering millions of people in 100 days. It is rumored that the resistance of the previous dynasty caused heavy losses to the Western Lu army, so the city was slaughtered.

There is also speculation that it was because Lu Dinglu's army attacked Zhenxi City. Missing the battle of the capital, the throne fell into the hands of Lu Dingying, and he slaughtered the city in a fit of anger to vent his hatred.

The Great Lu Dynasty did everything in its power to block the news of the massacre, and the reason for the massacre did not allow anyone to talk about it. Therefore, there is no record in the books and historical books, and some are just gossip legends.

Although the gossip is not credible, the reason for the massacre is even more difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, today's Zhengxi City, especially the central Zhenxi County. Every night, families close early. Those who are away from home often encounter something unclean or hear an eerie cry.

It can be said that all the counties in the western city are now the world of the living during the day, and the territory of the yin at night.

Such an abnormal situation confirmed the massacre of the city by the Xilu army. In addition, after staying in Zhengxi City, Lu Dinglu seemed to have converted to Buddhism. Eating fasting and reciting Buddha all day long, ignoring world affairs, most of the government affairs that need to be dealt with are handed over to his son Lu Jie.

In the west of the city, you can see everywhere the Taoist Zhou Tian Great Sect and the transcendent Dharma field of Buddhism. It is nothing more than to surpass the soul of the dead and return the people of Xicheng to a peaceful place.

The City Lord's Mansion did not reject this, and would allocate a large amount of gold and silver every year to maintain the operation of various great sects or Dharma fields.

Therefore, among the towns and counties, there are many monks and Taoists. In order to make a living, most of the monks turned into fate, and most of the Taoist priests subdued demons and eliminated demons or set up stalls to tell fortunes.

It was already dark, and the officers and soldiers defending the city still closed the city gates. Military orders are like mountains, and even a quarter of an hour before the time is up, and those who disobey are easy to lose their heads.

Before the city gate is opened, a large number of people gather outside the gate waiting to enter the city. Where there are many people, there will be business coming to the door.

Monks sell peace charms here to protect the wishes of ordinary people. Taoist priests set up a stall here to tell fortunes, asking the past to push the future. As for the true identity of these monks and Taoists, it is difficult for outsiders to say.

Two fortune-telling stalls are next to each other, and one is a rich Taoist priest with a shiny face. It seems that the harvest is good on weekdays, and there is a surplus of nutrients to eat and drink.

The rich Taoist priest sat on the Taishi chair, and the table in front of him was wiped clean. The bamboo baskets are all brand new, and the teapots and cups are readily available. In order to attract guests, a plate of melon seeds and a plate of candy were prepared on the table.

Next to him was a blind Taoist priest, a thin old man. The belongings were far worse than the rich Taoist priests, and a straw mat was spread on the ground at will. There is also a fine layer of dust on the hexagram sticks and baskets.

The rich Taoist priest sits on the Taishi chair, and the blind Taoist priest sits on the ground. Different statuses, different mentalities, and different hearts.

The rich Taoist priest looked down at the people around him, took a sip of tea and asked seriously, "How long has my brother been out to walk the rivers and lakes?"

The blind Taoist priest listened to the sound and discerned the position, turned his head sideways and clasped his fists and said humbly: "Be polite, in order to eat a mixed meal, come out to tell fortunes along the street and write some small money." I don't know what my brother does?"

The rich Taoist priest smiled: "Walk with you." ”

The blind Taoist priest was startled at first, and then clenched his fists again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm looking for a place randomly, I didn't want to provoke my peers." Redeem the eyes under it, and immediately change places so as not to grab business with my brother. ”

The rich Taoist priest said casually: "No, no, look at your carry-on head." It's hard to grab guests with me, so why don't you listen here to my brother and how I tell fortunes and earn money. ”

"Thank you very much, thank you very much. The blind Taoist priest always responded politely.

Wealthy Taoists feel more and more that they are high and confident. The stall of this blind Taoist priest next to him is shabby at first glance, and no one will ask him to tell fortunes, so he doesn't have to worry about robbing his business. Regardless of whether the other party can see it or not, tidy up his clothes and sit down.

In the tone of the teacher, he said without scruples: "Acquaintance is fate, brother, I will teach you some ways to make money." First of all, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Without good façade and clean tools, it is difficult to make guests stop. “

"At the same time, give a little favor to the guest, and the guest is willing to send money to you. Then there is the skill of fortune telling, how to achieve customer satisfaction. What do you rely on to tell the hexagram, touch the bones or face each other. Oh, I'm sorry I forgot your eyes, you should have taken the lottery and touched the bones, right?"

The blind Taoist thanked: "Thank you brother for your advice, I am grateful." As for my ability to tell hexagrams, I have read books on Qimen Dunjia before. According to the deduction in the book, it is not known whether it is accurate. ”

The rich Taoist said casually: "What is not allowed, the matter of divination is mainly to observe words and colors." I forgot that you can't do that. In fact, it is very simple, one of the hexagrams says that nine times out of ten, ask the past to deduce the future, and the future has not happened. ”

"What we want to do is to follow the customer's wishes. At first, he was alarmist and scared, and then the conversation changed. Say that you have any way to crack it, and then earn unexpected money. Since we can help customers solve the disaster, the rest has to be done with all our might. When the customer is satisfied, he will naturally reward more silver. ”

"This involves hexagram signing, your hexagram has both upper and lower signs, right?"

Seeing that the blind Taoist priest nodded and admitted, the rich Taoist priest said bluntly: "This is not good, it is easy to be disheartened when the next guest is drawn." When the lottery was drawn, the guests were very happy, and where they would listen to what would be a disaster. ”

"I suggest that you immediately draw the upper and lower lots. The best in the signing basket is the signing, and the difference is the signing. ”

The blind Taoist priest was slightly surprised after hearing this, and couldn't help blurting out: "Brother, this method is a bit of a trick and abduction, wouldn't it be bad to do this?"

The rich Taoist priest replied again and again: "Where do you want to go, brother, I just taught you to earn enough money to fill your stomach first." If you have money, you can naturally tell the truth, and we also work hard, so we can't tell fortunes hungry, right?"

The blind Taoist gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "My brother is reasonable. ”

There is a line in the palm of the human hand that connects the lifespan, when the blind Taoist priest gives a thumbs up. The palm of the rich Taoist priest has an imperceptible extension of life lines.

The rich Taoist priest was unconscious, and suddenly saw a young man with a sword leading a small puppy cub and was looking here. He hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile: "Little brother, please, maybe you don't need money, you can come and try it." ”

It was Xing Zhen and Xing Shui who greeted him, and one person and one dog glanced at the rich Taoist priest, and the bright face was not pleasing to anyone. In addition, Xingzhen didn't want to tell the hexagram, and said, "I'm sorry." Then he continued with the puppy.

When passing by the straw mat stall, the blind Taoist priest lowered his head and said to himself: "Who thinks about the long hair withering, why is it dyed red." When the sun falls, what do you do? ”

Xing Zhen didn't seem to understand it, and praised it out of politeness: "Good poetry." If you don't want to tell fortunes, you don't need to stay, and go ahead to find an early stall to fill your stomach.

The blind Taoist priest secretly counted, and when he found seven, he showed a light smile without a trace.

Xing Zhen took the seventh step and suddenly stopped. Suddenly turned around and walked back quickly, and hurriedly walked to the blind Taoist's stall.

Clenched his fists and asked, "Hidden head poem, Chang Ran is in trouble?"

After waiting for a morning, the first customer greeted by the two stalls was actually intercepted by a blind Taoist priest. Fu Shi Dao morale did not come anywhere, and hurriedly ran out of his stall.

After approaching, he pulled Xing Zhen's arm and dissuaded: "What can he calculate as a blind man, it's just to say some deceitful things that are not there, the little brother came to my stall, the hexagram money was halved, and there were peanuts and candies." Eat with a dry tongue and moisturize with tea, why not. ”

"I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, reading countless fortune-tellers. I promise to count what the little brother thinks in my heart and drive away the evil for you. ”

As the saying goes, the first business determines the mood of the day. The rich Taoist priest was convinced of this principle and resolutely refused to let go of the punishment. Pull hard and refuse to let go, there is a posture that you don't go to me to tell the hexagram and swear to you never stop.

Xing Zhen was helpless, and said calmly: "If the old gentleman can calculate where I am going, it doesn't hurt to go to you." ”

The rich Taoist priest came to the confidence, raised his head and looked at the city gate and said, "Zhenxi County."

The punishment is really clear, and there is no doubt that the charlatans are charlatans. frowned and said: "The old gentleman is not talking about it, but looking at it, he naturally came here to go to Zhenxi County." This is also a fortune calculation, I think it's better to be exempted. ”

The rich Taoist priest was unwilling to continue: "Whatever the little brother said, I just said it casually. Let me do the math. Well, the little brother is heading to the west. ”

Xing Zhen greeted him with a smile, hugged his fists and said, "Old man, please go back." ”

Seeing that the rich Taoist priest was standing still, he took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the other party, and said again: "Old gentleman, please go back." ”

After receiving the money, the rich Taoist priest was satisfied. Regardless of whether it is open and divisive, in short, it is before the blind Taoist earns silver.

Seeing that the young man has made up his mind, he doesn't care about how much. Smiled and returned, and reclined comfortably on the Taishi chair. It's just that the rich Taoist didn't notice it, when he just sat down. The life lines of the palm are shortening dramatically, and the length is nearly three or four tenths less than the original length.

As soon as I lay down in my chair, a feeling of powerlessness hit me. The original black and shiny hair lost its luster in an instant, half green and half white, dry and frizzy. Ravine-like wrinkles silently creep up the face.

The old Taoist priest suddenly looked old for more than ten years, and he sat on the chair and felt weak. I still don't know why, but I feel very tired today. The upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and gradually fell asleep.

Xing Zhen saw all this in his eyes, and turned his head to look at the blind Taoist solemnly. When I came to my mouth and asked, I swallowed it back, and I had no reason to interfere with other people's grievances. The rich Taoist priest is at fault first, and the punishment should also be punished.

As for whether the punishment is too severe, the punishment really can't be managed even if he wants to. I don't have that kind of way, and I don't want to be that nosy.

What's more, he still had important things to do, so he squatted down and asked in a low voice: "Trouble the old gentleman to tell me clearly, what happened to my brother Pu Gongling?"

Blind Eye said bluntly: "Hexagram costs a dragon language money." ”

The punishment is really understood, and being blackmailed has become a habit. He was blackmailed by a street girl in Monkey Town, and was blackmailed by a Taoist priest here.

Distressed is distressed, and you know how important it is in the face of major events. Unequivocally, he took out a dragon money in his arms.

Because the square inch is too conspicuous, it is not easy to use anytime and anywhere. First, I am worried about disturbing the world, and second, I am worried that I will be seen by the villains and have evil thoughts.

Xing Zhen put the dragon money in the hands of the blind Taoist, and said expressionlessly: "It's true, please ask the old gentleman to have something to say." ”

The blind Taoist priest smiled: "The procedure that should be taken still has to be taken, and the guest officer please draw a lot first." ”

I already have the answer in my heart, and I still need these red tape, and the punishment is really helpless, and I have to obey it. Shake the basket, and what falls is a lower lot.
