Chapter 17: Fortune telling
"Oh?" Tang Xu sighed, this trend is a bit of a trick, isn't there a thing of deceiving people to pay more money in the end under the guise of being free?
"Then does the old gentleman want to give me word measurements, ask hexagrams, face me, or tell fortunes by touching my bones?" Tang Xu was a little excited, thinking about how to debunk this scam. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"These little tricks are all gone, I want to send a word to my son." Liu Shenxian saw through Tang Xu's mind and didn't care.
"What?" Tang Xu asked.
"The son comes from the south, and there will be great variables when he goes west." Liu Shenxian answered all questions, and didn't seem to hold back any small abacus.
"How do you know I'm a Southerner?" Tang Xu was shocked, this is the north, even if it is Liujia Village, it is also a standard northern boundary.
"Do I have a Southern accent?" Tang Xu found a reason and felt a little more steady.
"Childe's hometown, although I can't ask, but I feel that it is very different from here." Liu Shenxian didn't answer him, but began to play tricks, and Tang Xu's heart rose to his throat.
"You..." Tang Xu couldn't help but want to ask him if he knew about the crossing, but he decided to endure it first, what if he fooled himself?
"Childe, although you don't understand why you are here, don't be impatient, everything must have cause and effect, just wait with peace of mind, when the time comes, everything will be revealed." As soon as Liu Shenxian's words came out, Tang Xu almost exploded.
"Do you know why?" The wind was blowing outside the window, and the room was not much warm, but Tang Xu's back was already sweating.
"I don't know." Immortal Liu shook his head.
"Childe, your life is different from ordinary people, either to inherit the fortune of heaven, or to die in recklessness, it all depends on how you choose." Liu Shenxian continued.
"What should I do?" Tang Xu suddenly felt relieved, this trick is quite familiar, first scare people, and then give a chance, it depends on whether he is willing to spend money to crack it.
"I don't know it, and the crucial choice is yet to come." Liu Shenxian did not answer.
"Ask the old fairy for guidance." Tang Xu pretended to be anxious, wanting to see when he would show his old fox tail.
The old man talked sincerely, but Childe felt that these were all deceptive tricks. The old man has nothing to say, and the son takes care of himself. Liu Shenxian suddenly changed his face and got up to leave.
"Sir, I don't." This time it was Tang Xu's turn to be embarrassed, it seemed that he was still too young and lacked social experience, and his acting skills were not enough for others to glance at.
"Hey, the son has doubts in his heart, and the old man can understand." Liu Shenxian sighed and didn't leave again. Tang Xu was beating a drum in his heart, could he really be trapped?
"It's not a secret, last night the old man did leave a few copper coins from his son to ask for a hexagram for his son. But the hexagram is extremely vague, neither black nor white, neither life nor death, neither when it comes, nor where it will return. It's really amazing, it's really an old fortune teller who has never seen it for most of his life. Liu Shenxian also showed a confused expression, and it didn't look like he was pretending.
“。。。” Tang Xu was completely confused, and now he really hoped that Liu Shenxian was a liar, at least he wouldn't turn his brain into a pulp again.
"Am I going to die here?" Tang Xu asked a question that he was afraid of.
"I don't know." Liu Shenxian became a question and didn't know.
"However, as the old man just said, if the son goes west, there will be great variables. Although I am not completely sure of this, there are some signs to follow, if Childe has no other obstacles here, you might as well give it a try. Liu Shenxian said again.
"Yes." Tang Xu nodded when he heard this, but he thought to himself that this person spoke so lightly, he might as well give it a try, if it gets better, of course it will be good, but what if it gets worse? Died in recklessness.
"What would happen if I went?" Tang Xu likes to be spoiled when he watches TV, and he is down-to-earth. Now that I'm the protagonist, of course I want to have a customs clearance strategy.
"As I said just now, it all depends on how you decide whether you inherit the fortune of heaven or die in recklessness." Liu Shenxian said unhurriedly.
"And what if I don't go?" Tang Xu was afraid, it was really possible to die in the west.
"Maybe you will be safe for a lifetime, but you will not do anything." Liu Shenxian glanced at him.
"Oh." If you don't do anything, you can't do anything, at least you can live, Tang Xu thought.
"It's just maybe, and besides, although the number of the child's life is old and decayed, it can't be detected, but the number of life, born as a human being, everyone has his own life, if the son is destined, even if he tries his best, he can't escape after all, it's better to go with the flow, don't insist on going against the genius." Liu Shenxian saw what Tang Xu had in mind.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" How could this old man seem to be able to read minds, Tang Xu was a little scared, could he really be an immortal?
"It's not wrong to look at people in old age." Liu Shenxian smiled.
"Where are you going west?" Tang Xu gave up, and if he had something to say, he would still be found out if he was stuffy in his heart anyway.
"I don't know, I only know that the luck in the west is surging, and I may have to go to the son himself to know the mystery." Fortunately, Liu Shenxian didn't just jump two words this time.
"Okay." Tang Xu was helpless, saying such a lot, it seemed that there was something, and it didn't seem to say anything at all.
"Old man, I have something I want to give to my son, maybe it will be useful." Liu Shenxian said and took out a piece of cloth from his cuffs, yellow and old.
"This is the map?" After the yellow cloth is fully unfolded, the area is not small, it is full of large and small blocks, and it is also marked with names, and there are no names in some places, so an animal is drawn instead, and then there are many other words written on it, and there is no way to understand it carefully for a while, but I feel that it is not a foreign map.
"It's the result of half a lifetime of travel, and it's useless to keep it. If Childe has the heart to go west, maybe Childe will not be lost on the way. Liu Shenxian said.
"Thank you, sir." Maps should be classified in ancient times, after all, it is very difficult to draw maps, and topography plays an important role in warfare and defense, and the scope of this map is so large, and the quality is also very good. Liu Shenxian gave himself such a valuable thing, and Tang Xu hurriedly got up to salute him.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite." Liu Shenxian smiled.
"I have something here that I want to show the old gentleman." Tang Xu has always been very curious about Yan San's small medicine jar, and when he heard him say it so mysteriously, he didn't know what the effect was, so he picked one up and asked someone when he wanted to have a chance.
"Sir, please look." Tang Xu took out a small medicine jar and put it on the table.
"Huh?" Liu Shenxian stretched out three fingers and pinched the small jar to look around, and then opened the seal of the jar and sniffed it closely, looking thoughtful.
"Does the old gentleman know what this is?" Tang Xu felt that he seemed to know the goods.
"Good stuff! Good stuff! Fairy Liu put down the jar and sighed.
"When I was young, I heard that there is a strange medicine, which is like clotted fat, colorless and tasteless, but after smelling it for a long time, there will be a strange fragrance in the heart and spleen, and it will turn endlessly for a long time, and at the end of the day, there will be a trace of bitterness in the mouthpiece. This medicine is mixed with water for external use, which can grow muscle overnight without leaving scars. Mixed with honey for internal use, the dying person can regulate blood and qi, bring the dead back to life, and the healthy person can also strengthen the body and prevent all diseases. It turned out that I was only a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and I never thought that I would be fated to meet today. Immortal Liu was still staring intently at the small medicine jar as he spoke.
"Is it really that amazing?" Tang Xu felt that Liu Shenxian didn't look like he was hooking up with Yan San, but this advertisement was really hard.
"Dare to ask Childe, where did this medicine come from?" Liu Shenxian stared at Tang Xu and asked.
"A friend entrusted me with safekeeping." Tang Xu didn't dare to hide it, and he also wanted to know what story was behind this thing.
"The old man said something that shouldn't be said, this friend of the son may no longer be alive." Fairy Liu sighed.
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the old gentleman knows Yan San? Tang Xu was shocked, did they really know each other?
"No, I don't know what Yan San is. It's just that this medicine has never been a legend, and I have never heard of anyone who has ever seen it used. Presumably it was hidden by someone, but now it is entrusted to Childe, then this person must have encountered a catastrophe that cannot be escaped, and he didn't want the miracle medicine to be obtained by the villain, so he handed it over to Childe for safekeeping. Liu Shenxian explained.
"No, it won't." Tang Xu was speechless, he really didn't expect that the hot potato was not the bag of gold, but these small medicine jars.
"Since this medicine was obtained by Gongzi, it needs to be kept by a good student. It may make the son suffer and become auspicious, or it may lead to a catastrophe. Liu Shenxian said.
"No one really buys it?" No, didn't Yan San say that he sold medicine? Is this a lie? There were more and more question marks in Tang Xu's mind, and his head was about to burst.
"I have never heard of it, if such a miraculous medicine really appears, how can it not be talked about, at least I have not heard of it so far." Immortal Liu shook his head.
"The old gentleman is a good person, then I will give you this bottle." There are still many small medicine jars Tang Xu, since this medicine is so magical, giving it to Liu Shenxian should be able to save many people.
"By no means, how can the old and decrepit He De accept such a valuable thing." Liu Shenxian hurriedly excused himself.
"Why won't the old gentleman accept it? Is this medicine really a scourge? Tang Xu angrily threw the bottle on the table, but the small jar didn't stand, it was spinning, and it was about to fall to the ground.
"Oops! Childe beware! This medicine is a rare treasure. Liu Shenxian was very nervous and quickly caught it and carefully put it on the table.
"The old decay refuses to accept it, because it is too precious, not because he thinks it is a scourge." Liu Shenxian smiled helplessly and took out a small box from his arms.
"If the son insists on sending it away, in order to express his gratitude, please accept the old man, and you can't shirk it." Liu Shenxian held a small wooden box two inches wide in his hand, black and shining.
