Chapter 8: Heavenly Chances

I saw that on the edge of the street in front, there was a dilapidated wooden table, and a bamboo pole was inserted next to it, and a canvas was hung on it, with the words 'cloth clothes and gods' written on it. Next to the bamboo pole stood an old man with his hands tied, and there was a little Taoist boy standing on the side, about ten years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a pair of eyes as black as paint, and a small bun, which looked very cute.

Originally, Han Xin listened to the old man's tone very loudly, and his shouting voice was full of anger, and then he looked at a plain white robe, which faintly had a bit of fairy wind and bones. Unexpectedly, when he walked to the front of the Taoist, he almost couldn't help laughing. I saw that he was also quite tall, but he looked very strange, with his eyelids under him, his nose protruding, his ears upward, and he pretended to learn from others with a few strands of white beard on his forehead, and with his strange appearance, he looked extremely obscene.

Han Yu and the two couldn't help but smile at each other. This Taoist is not very dedicated. The warlock liar who came out to eat with food, which one is not trying to dress up with dignity, so as to bluff people. Dressed like this Taoist, I have never seen it in my life.

It's no wonder his stall business is so deserted. Although at the downtown intersection, most of the pedestrians bypassed, but the tone was terrifying.

The man stood all morning, and no one cared about the business, but he also leaned leisurely on the bamboo pole, and there was no anxiety on his face. Seeing Yu Miaoyi and Han Xin walking towards this side, they hurriedly greeted them, and said with a smile on their faces: "Guest officer, what do you want to see, fortune or marriage?" How do you look at it, look at the face, palmistry or word measurement? It's okay to touch the bones. The smile piled up on his wrinkled face, and it looked very funny.

Han Xin thought it was funny, seeing that the Taoist was so dressed and temperamental, he knew that eighty percent of the people he met were charlatans, and he didn't bother to break it. At that moment, he was about to turn around and leave with Yu Miaoyi's hand, but the man suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Yu Miaoyi, raised his head and carefully studied Yu Miaoyi's face, and said: "Although the girl has a lovely smile, there is a melancholy hidden between her eyebrows, and it seems that she must be worried." Physiognomy is such a thing, although it can't change people's lives and act against the sky, but it can also turn evil into evil. Why don't the girl let the poor road look alike, maybe it will help the girl. ”

Yu Miaoyi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the words of the Taoist, as if she was talking about her heart, and her footsteps couldn't help but stop.

She has no prejudice against this strange-looking Taoist. At the time of the conflict of the Seven Kingdoms, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other, and there was no unified scholarship in the world. It was not until the return of the Six Kingdoms to Qin that the First Emperor respected the Legalists alone, but he did not specifically suppress other academic schools, such as the theory of Fang Shi Changsheng, which the First Emperor has always admired, belongs to a school of Taoism. Yu Miaoyi is familiar with the scriptures and history, and naturally knows that many talented people like to hide in the market, maybe the strange-looking Taoist in front of him is also a stranger.

Merely...... Yu Miaoyi's dark eyes rolled a few times on the Taoist's face, and she muttered in her heart: This stranger's appearance is too obscene. Thinking about it again, very people do extraordinary things, and looking obscene may also be to make it easier for strangers to do extraordinary things, maybe he can really help him resolve the knot.

With this thought in mind, she turned around and said to the old man, "Okay, please ask the old man to help me see the picture." ”

Lao Dao smiled, pointed to the table next to the road with his hand, and said, "Then let's go there and talk." With that, he turned and walked away. Yu Miaoyi secretly glanced at Han Xin beside him, and saw that he was just smiling and watching, and did not say anything against it, so she stepped forward and sat down.

Lao Dao squinted his eyes and looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Girl, you are full of heaven and rich cheeks, you should be born in a rich family, right?" Seeing Yu Miaoyi nodded, she watched carefully and muttered for a while, and then continued: "Although the girl has an innocent look, there is worry in the corners of her eyes. According to the old way, it should be the person who is not satisfied with the life of the parents. ”

Yu Miaoyi was broken by him in public, and couldn't help blushing, but she believed in Lao Dao in her heart. I have been thinking very highly of myself since I was a child, although I have not yet reached the age of love, but the person I longed for in my heart is a heroic man who has been gentle and elegant, but unexpectedly, her father intended to marry her to the young master of Wu Zhongxiang's family.

The Xiang family and her own family are world friends, and she also knows a little about the "young master" of the Xiang family, and vaguely remembers what he looked like when he was a child. I only remember that he is a tall and stupid big man, and he takes a group of children of the family around to deceive people and cause trouble every day, and he is a demon king of the mixed world. If she wants to marry this kind of person, she is naturally a hundred unwilling in her heart, but her father's fate is difficult to disobey, so she has to follow Shanwu, who came to her grandfather's house to pick her up, and return to Wucheng.

Standing up and facing the old man, he said, "Dare to ask Mr. why he taught me?"

Lao Dao looked at Yu Miaoyi for a while, and did not answer immediately. Yu Miaoyi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "How?" ”

Lao Dao thought for a while and said: "The girl's face is well-proportioned and dignified, her life palace is plump and round, and her eyes are like paint, which is really rare, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future." But the muscles and bones are weak, the human middle is short and shallow and there are horizontal lines, the life is not long, I am afraid that Hua Nian will go early, but ......" paused, and then looked at Yu Miaoyi carefully, and said: "But this is also difficult to say, the theory of life is originally changed by man, if you meet someone with extraordinary life, there may be a big change." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Han Xin with a deep meaning, and said with a smile: "As for what the girl thinks in her heart, I will be humble in the next way, and I can only see that the person the girl will be matched with in the future will be very human." ”

Yu Miaoyi saw that he directly said what he thought in his heart, and was ashamed, and secretly glanced at Han Xin, and saw that his face was not unusual, so he put his heart at ease, and was faintly disappointed. stood up and bowed to Lao Daowei, and said, "Thank you for your words." ”

The old man smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and suddenly coughed twice, and said, "This, this ......"

Yu Miaoyi asked puzzledly, "The Taoist is uncomfortable. But he didn't notice that Han Xin on the side was smiling even more, but he couldn't help but speak.

Lao Dao sneered, and then said seriously: "The poor Dao has broken the sky in vain, and has already violated the usual precepts. When the old man was cultivating the Tao, he made a heavy oath in front of the statue of the Sanqing Dao that he would collect money from people to promote my Taoism to offset his sins, so ......"

"Poof" chuckled, and the boy on the side couldn't help laughing first. The old man was embarrassed for a while, and said curtly: "The bad guy is young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to treat guests, so I hope to forgive me and forgive me." ”

Yu Miaoyi suddenly woke up, a burst of sweat, just heard him say this and thought that this old Taoist was a hidden master, but I didn't expect to value money so much, the respect for him just now faded a little, and hurriedly said: "Dao Chief, please say, how much does it cost?" ”

Lao Dao looked at him with a smile, stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred wen at a time." ”

Yu Miaoyi originally stretched her hand to her waist, but when she heard this, she was stunned and startled, and said, "It's so expensive, but I only have less than 200 yuan in total." ”

"Well...," Lao Dao was a little embarrassed, and regretted that his asking price was too high, for fear of scaring this customer away, so he said; That's it, look at the girl's good face, it is also a kind of fate to be able to meet the old way, so let's do it, just fifty wen, the poor road should do a good fate to help you. ”

Seeing that Yu Miaoyi was still looking at himself dumbfounded, he muttered in his heart, gritted his teeth again, and stretched out three fingers: "If it weren't for thirty wen, no matter how little it is, it won't work, and Sanqing Dao Venerable will blame the old way." ”

Yu Miaoyi was thundered, she couldn't cry or laugh, and she was stunned for a long time but took out the money. Suddenly, her arm tightened, and when she looked up, she saw Han Xin grabbing her arm, tilting her head and looking at Lao Dao with a smile.

"Old man." Han Xin sighed: "I can't see it, it's really a person who can't be good-looking, I've been immersed in this business for a long time, I said it one by one, look at my little sister was stunned." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and smiled, so he pretended to be arrogant.

"Fortunately, Uncle Ben is wise and martial, and he has a unique vision to see the fire, and your little trick is also used to fool Uncle Ben, you are not ashamed, the class knows what it means to get an axe."

Han Xin secretly laughed at himself, when he was poor, he also relied on the fact that he had read a few physiognomy feng shui books when he was a child, and hung a signboard to deceive everywhere, and today he met his peers.

That old way was cut off from money, and he was not in a hurry, looking at Han Xin and smiling, he said; "Does this little brother think that he is a scredgy and swaggering deceitful?"

Han Xin rolled his eyes at him: "What suspicions, it's fundamental." The way of heaven is insignificant, how can we ordinary people penetrate it. The likes of physiognomy are nonsense, and if everyone's life has been decided, then what else do people have to do, just sit at home and wait. ”

The old man was not angry, and still smiled; "You can't say that, Emperor Yao's eyebrows are colorful, and Dayu's eyes are full of heavy pupils, this is a very person who has a very special appearance, and physiognomy is broad and profound, including a lot, I am afraid that the little brother can understand."

"Cut." Han Xin said unbelievably: "This is just the words of the descendants, those brothers are just more individualistic and arranged like this by the descendants." You think this is one of those bloody dramas, as soon as it appears, it will be a tiger and a dragon, and the spirit of a king and a tyrant will leak out. ”

Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what a bloody crossing drama was, and when he saw that Han Xin didn't believe it, he said again: "That's it, then I'll calculate it for my little brother, and I'm sure you don't want to comment again." ”

Han Xin said lazily; "Whatever you want." Then he remembered something again, and hurriedly made up for it; "To be clear in advance, I don't have any money, so I don't like to look at you. Also, if you can't see it, I'm going to smash your signboard, and you're going to have to take off your robe."

Han Xin originally wanted to deliberately put forward harsh requirements to make this old Taoist retreat, but unexpectedly, this old Taoist agreed, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, and looked around with some vigilance, thinking that the Taoist would not have other plans.

Lao Dao didn't care, looked at Han Xin carefully, and said: "Little brother, although your heavenly court is full, your cheeks are slightly thin, you shouldn't be a rich person, right?" ”

Han Xin smiled silently, thinking in his heart that if I were a rich and noble family, I would be dressed like this, and you would be my brain.

I saw Lao Dao continue: "The old man also sees that your eyebrows are thick and dense, straight and straight, but there is a small mole at the end of the right eyebrow. ”

Han Xin was slightly shocked, but then relieved, Jianghu Warlock, there are more surprising words, by the way, it will be like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and if it is wrong, there will be no loss anyway.

looked at the old man with a smile and said, "Old man, then what do you think of my fate?" ”

Lao Dao looked at him for a while, suddenly smiled, and said, "You clearly don't believe in ghosts and gods, but you came to ask about ghosts and gods."

Han Xin didn't care either, smiled and picked up the fish intestine and put it on his shoulder, and said, "Of course, my life is at my disposal, what's the matter with ghosts and gods." ”

Lao Dao was stunned by what he said, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly there was a hearty laugh next to him:

"This little brother said it well, I live in my life."

Everyone followed the words, and saw a man in black not far away, with beautiful eyebrows, but there was some vicissitudes on his face, smiled at Han Xin, and walked quickly to the front of the hexagram shop.

"Dao Chief, I also want to see the appearance."

"This ......" Lao Dao's face was a little confused, and said: "I usually don't look at the appearance casually, and I vainly investigate the heavens, this ...... This ......"

The man in black did not speak, but took out a small ingot of gold from his bosom and threw it on the table.

"Is that enough?"

"Enough is enough." Lao Dao saw that Jinzi's eyes widened, and his eyeballs were about to come out, so he nodded quickly, picked it up and put it in his arms, and leaned forward with a courteous smile.

"I don't know if the guest officer wants to see the past or marriage..."

The man in black shook his head, pointed at Yu Miaoyi and said, "What I want to see is the same as this little girl." What I have in my heart can be successful. ”

The smile on Lao Dao's face slowly disappeared, and he had a somewhat solemn look, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "The son's heavenly court is full and flat, and the young man is rich." However, there are tail lines at the corners of the eyes, and there is a sign of hidden worry, which shows that the family is in decline and is struggling. After a pause, he saw that the man in black bowed slightly, and then continued:

"The face of the prince is like a crown of jade, the three courts are equal, the two eyes are brilliant, there must be Wang Zuo's talent, and he can be rich for 30 years."

"And what about what is on my mind?" The man in black hurriedly asked.

Lao Dao looked into his eyes and said slowly: "Acting against the sky is beyond the power of man. The old country has become dust, so why bother to bind its talents. ”

The man in black was shocked, silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "The eldest husband has been rich enough for thirty years." After speaking, Chao Hanxin and the others arched their hands, and without saying much, they strode away.

Yu Miaoyi looked at the departing figure of the sunspot man in a daze, and only felt that this person was extraordinary. But I heard Han Xin on the side still ask unforgivingly: "Hey, old man, continue to talk about me, what is my fate, you say, I can't tell you that I really picked up your clothes." ”

Lao Dao circled around Han Xin, looked at it carefully, and suddenly his face changed greatly, his face became heavy, and he no longer had the intention of laughing. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly reached out and untied his Taoist robe and took it off.

Han Xin and Yu Miaoyi were taken aback, but they didn't expect this old way to really get off.

Lao Dao was only wearing a thin underwear at this time, and his skinny body looked very indecent standing in the downtown area, which attracted a burst of pointing and laughter from passers-by. But his face was calm and he didn't care at all, but the little boy around him was ashamed and hurriedly left.

"I lost, I can't see your fate." Lao Dao shook his head with a smile and said, and suddenly whispered a word in Han Xin's ear.

"You're not supposed to be here, are you?"

Old Dao's words frightened Han Xin's soul away, staring at him with a pair of eyes, his face was cloudy, and he kept shouting in his heart, he knew, did he really know, knew that I didn't belong here.

Lao Dao smiled slightly when he saw Han Xin's reaction, bowed his head at him, and left freely without saying a word, ignoring the Taoist robes on the stall and the ground.

Han Xin was still frightened, and it took a long time to come to his senses and take a deep look at Lao Dao's back.

Who is this person, how can he know this, is he really a master of this era?

Unexpectedly, the master and apprentice hadn't walked a few steps, and they saw Lao Dao stop a fat woman on the road.

"Madam, I see that you are covered with dark clouds, Yintang is black, and your face is dead, something is wrong! Why don't you let me do the math for you? Don't go, I'm a cloth god, not a charlatan, oops, oops, don't hit me. ”

……….

Han Xin was sweating profusely, petrified.

When the master and apprentice walked away, the little boy who had been following behind him said to Lao Dao with a smile: "Master, I have gained a lot today, and I can eat meat again at night." ”

"Eat your head." Lao Dao unceremoniously slammed a shudder on the boy's head. "You know how to eat. I was almost mistaken by you just now. ”

The boy touched his forehead, and did not cry out of pain, but came out of nowhere and touched a bunch of fruits, and ate them with relish, and said vaguely: "Master, I see that person's face is also very ordinary." Although the physiognomy is rare, it is by no means a disappearance that has achieved great success. The three lines on the forehead are born early, squeezing the merit lines aside, and the merit lines are never cut off, and the follow-up is weak. I think this guy looks like a gangster, how can he be the master of the world. ”

Lao Dao sighed and said; "If you can see through the heavenly machine, is it still called a heavenly machine?"

After a pause, he said: "This person's life was originally a prince and general, but he did not die well. Now that life has been changed against the sky, and the power of ghosts and gods has disturbed the will of heaven, this is the biggest variable in the world. ”

"Let's go back immediately and tell the old guy in Yuanzhong that the opportunity has come out, let him make a decision early."

"I'll go back now." Xiao Tong exclaimed, and when he saw that the master nodded, he said a little reluctantly: "Then let's not help Senior Sister Mingyue, I haven't seen Senior Sister for a long time." ”

Lao Dao shook his head and said, "No need, Mingyue has been fighting with that person for many years, although he has not been captured, he has not fallen behind, and this time it is expected that there will be no danger." It's futile for us to go, it's better to get down to business. ”
