When I got closer, I found that this was not a residential house, but an ancient temple on the side of the road, which seemed to have been built for many years, the courtyard walls were dilapidated, and the courtyard gate was even more mottled. Above the courtyard gate, there is a plaque with the words "Temple of Mercy and Grace" written in faded gold lacquer. In the ancient temple, there was a fire, which reflected the surroundings red.

"...... Ci'en Temple" Zhao Zheng muttered in a low voice, recalled it carefully, and found that he had no impression of this name, and it should not be a special place.

It's not a special location just to shelter from the rain, if it's a martial arts person or bandit's hiding place, it's inconvenient to break in.

"Drive!" Zhao was urging the reins, and the two horses in front of him were advancing with their necks back, their feet falling into the muddy water, splashing mud spots everywhere.

The carriage stopped at the door, and Zhao Zheng shouted loudly towards the courtyard: "I am a passerby, it is raining heavily outside, I want to borrow a precious place to avoid the rain, I wonder if it can be convenient?" ”

"This temple is so dilapidated that there are no monks living there, and we are all passers-by, who come here to take shelter from the rain. You're welcome, the door is unlocked, so if you want to come in, you can come in yourself. A rugged voice in the courtyard responded.

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you." Zhao Zheng thanked him, turned over and dismounted, stepped into the muddy water, opened the courtyard door with his hand, and led the carriage into the courtyard.

The courtyard is full of potholes, water accumulates in many places, and raindrops fall into the water, dotting a circle of ripples. On the side of the courtyard wall, there are two horse-drawn carriages parked, and I don't know what goods are being pulled on them, and on the cargo box, there are also small flags, which seem to be dart carts.

There are three types of darts in the dart game, one is the mighty dart, and the other is the benevolent dart. There is also a type called stealing darts. Walk the mighty darts. Raise the banner. Beat gongs and drums, shout dart trumpets, and use the name of the dart game to bluff the thieves along the road. Walk the benevolent and righteous dart, lower the flag at half-mast, and shout slogans, but no longer so public. The last type of stealing dart is more low-key, not raising the flag of the dart game, and not shouting any slogans. Pull the goods and move forward quietly, not to disturb the thieves along the road.

Most of the dart games that choose to steal darts are some small dart games that are not famous, just seeking a safe and sound.

Most of the martial arts people are bold, but Zhao Zheng is happy to deal with this kind of person, and he can chat by the way when he is sheltering from the rain.

Zhao Zheng led his carriage to the other wall and parked it, tying the reins to a pillar. The rain was so heavy that both horses were drenched, and their supple manes clung to their long necks, dripping with water. Looks pitiful. It's a pity that it's not convenient here, otherwise the horses could have been taken back to the stable warehouse. Do not get wet.

At this time, Xu Ruyi poked her head out of the carriage, and as soon as she saw the carriage stop in the temple, she immediately opened the car door, jumped out of it, and turned into the glowing house against the wall, leaving Zhao Zheng behind.

Zhao Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, continued to straighten out the carriage, and after cleaning up, he entered the house in the rain.

This is a temple that has fallen into disrepair, with rain leaking from above and wind leaking from the side, and it has been dilapidated. In the hall, there are two groups of people sitting around, one group is dressed as martial artists, and the other group is dressed as ordinary people. The group of warriors dressed as a total of seven people, it seemed that they were the dart masters escorting the two dart cars. There were two ordinary people, an old blind man and a young scholar. A fire was lit in front of each group, and the flames burned on top of a pile of dry wood, radiating heat.

Two groups of people, two fires, clearly distinguished.

Xu Ru was aware of the current affairs, and sat by the fire with a small number of people, fiddling with his water-soaked hair.

Zhao Zheng stood at the door, glanced around the crowd, and found a familiar face among them, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The old blind man sitting by the fire was not an ordinary person, but a very famous fortune teller in "Horse Riding Rivers and Lakes", nicknamed "Blind Fairy", who was proficient in the sixty-four hexagrams of Zhou Yi, and his hexagram was extremely accurate. In the game, the player can find him to divinate the fortune, if the luck is good, everything will be smooth sailing, if the luck is bad, bad luck everywhere. Some players will stop and rest for a few days after calculating that their luck is not good, and wait until the luck lane changes before continuing to play.

The blind fairy is a maverick, the way of charging fees is very peculiar, the first time he only collects one or two pieces of silver, and the second time he asks him for fortune telling, the cost will be doubled, become two taels of silver, and so on, and after too many times, his fees will become extremely expensive, and no one can afford it.

In the past, Zhao Zheng had calculated many fortunes with blind immortals, but now he has changed to another time and space, and he met by chance, and he had a different feeling.

Zhao Zheng recognized the blind fairy, but the blind fairy didn't recognize him, even if he recognized the identity of the other party, he could only pretend not to know.

Except for the blind fairy, the rest of the people, Zhao Zheng didn't recognize it, he hugged his fist at everyone, said a word of interruption, walked to Xu Ruyi's side, sat down and baked clothes by the fire. Not long after the heat added to his body, wisps of white gas immediately rose from his body, and his soaked and cold clothes became much warmer.

In the main hall, these two groups of people were doing different things in the process of roasting the fire, and a group of dart masters were drinking and chatting, telling anecdotes and yellow jokes. The scholar held the book of the sages in his hand, looked at it with his head bored, and ignored the people around him. The blind fairy sat in place, standing still, as if he had settled down.

Zhao Zheng has also heard a lot of anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, and chatted with the group of dart masters without a match, and saw that the topic of this group of dart masters became more and more obscene, so he stopped talking. It's not that he's pretentious, it's just that he is accompanied by women, and it's inconvenient to talk about too obscene topics, if the room is full of men, why not talk about this? He's not a man who sticks to small things.

It's nothing to do, Zhao Zheng looked at the blind fairy on the opposite side at close range, this person's appearance is quite bizarre, a pair of blind eyes formed two tangled bumps of flesh, protruding from the eye sockets, looking like the eyes of a goldfish, the face is full of traces left by the wind and frost of the years, ravines, wrinkles, sideburns on both sides, each hanging down a strand of white hair, fluttering with the fairy wind and bones elegant, there is a package behind the back, and there is a small flag beside him, which reads "Iron Mouth Straight Break" in black letters.

The blind fairy is obviously a fortune teller, and I don't know why the people around him didn't ask him for fortune telling, it is possible that everyone has already asked him to calculate before Zhao Zheng came, and it is also possible that everyone dislikes the charge of one or two silver is too expensive.

Others don't know the details of the blind immortals. Zhao Zheng was very clear. A tael of silver counts as a fortune. But it's a good deal. He had a big goal and an uncertain future, and he needed some guidance.

"Little brother, you have been staring at me, do you have the heart to calculate a hexagram?" didn't think about it, and without waiting for Zhao Zheng to speak, the blind fairy spoke first, and said Zhao Zheng's purpose in one word.

"You're blind. How do you know I'm looking at you? Zhao Zheng said in amazement.

"Although I don't have the naked eye, I do have the mental eye, and the mental eye can see more clearly than the naked eye."

"Is there really a heart in the world?"

"Absolutely."

"Then I'll test you." Zhao Zheng reached into his sleeve, fumbled for a while, took out a piece of broken silver from it, and spread it on his hand, "You should take a look with your eyes to see what I have in my hand." ”

"If the old blind man could see it, would you give it to me?" The blind fairy asked with a smile.

"No problem." Zhao Zheng readily agreed.

"This is a piece of broken silver, which weighs about three taels." The blind fairy said confidently.

As soon as this statement came out. Not only Zhao Zheng, but also the people next to him were a little surprised. Xu Ruyi's eyes widened, the scholar put down the book, and the dart masters also stopped talking and stretched their necks over.

"It seems that the old blind man guessed correctly, according to the agreement, this piece of broken silver is mine." The blind fairy smiled, accurately grabbed the broken silver in Zhao Zheng's palm, and put it into his arms.

Zhao Zheng didn't take this little money to heart, but felt quite interesting.

Xu Ruyi muttered beside him: "How can a blind man see things, he must not be blind, those old eyes are just sarcomas." ”

Others also felt that this was the case, some nodded and some agreed.

The blind fairy didn't care, didn't explain, but twisted his sideburns and white hair, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I won't take your money in vain, so I'll count a hexagram for you." You gave me a total of three taels of silver, and according to my charging standard, you can take two hexagrams. I'll take one hexagram for you this time, and the next time I see you, I'll take a second hexagram for you. What do you think? ”

"I think so." Zhao Zheng nodded.

"Then the old blind man can start, little brother wait, I will divinate the fortune for you." The blind fairy took out three copper coins from his body, round on the outside and square on the inside, with the words "Puqing Tongbao" written on the back, and the back was empty, which was the copper coins that were now circulating and issued by the Great Yan Kingdom.

The blind fairy spread the copper coin in the palm of his hand, showed it to Zhao Zheng, and then threw it high, and the copper coin spun in the air, falling one after another. The blind fairy does not raise his head, stretches out his hand to grab all the three copper coins in his hand, spreads them out again, the front and back of the three copper coins have changed, according to this change, you can divinate eight hundred and sixty-four different hexagrams.

This hand is very beautiful, and the group of dart masters saw it and cheered together.

A total of six hexagrams are needed for divination, and the blind fairy throws the copper coin again, grabs it again, and repeats it six times, and the final result is obtained. The sixty-four hexagrams are so profound that ordinary people can't see why, only he knows it in his own heart.

"Ambiguity is inevitably inaccurate, it's better for the little brother to divinate one thing alone, do you want to divinate the future fortune, or do you want to divinate the marriage between men and women?" The blind fairy asked.

"Divination of marriage between men and women." Xu Ruyi interjected first.

"Don't listen to her." Zhao Zheng glared at Xu Ruyi, "I want to divinate the future fortune." ”

"Alas," the blind fairy sighed and shook his head, "If you want to divinate your fortune, then this hexagram is not very good." This hexagram is called 'Little Animal on a Windy Day', and the words are both rain and place, Shang Dezai, the woman is chaste, the moon is a few hopes, and the gentleman is murderous. It means that it rains non-stop, and virtue is blinded by yin. If you are a woman, you must stay on the way of women and beware of danger. If you are a gentleman, you will encounter danger when you go out on a long journey, and there will be a disaster of blood and light. The old blind man advises you, so let's hurry back home. If you go any further, you will surely meet with disaster. ”

Zhao Zheng was taken aback by this hexagram, he didn't expect his next luck to be so bad.

But think about it, this trip is to seize the Zichu Sword, and it will inevitably set up many enemies and have a bloody battle with them, even if there is a bloody disaster.

He has a firm goal, and he must not be scared back by a mere evil hexagram, but if there is a way to resolve it, he is willing to spend some money to seek peace of mind.

"Old man, I wonder if you have a way to solve the disaster for me?" Zhao Zheng asked tentatively.

"Those who swindle and deceive people always use the excuse of eliminating disasters and solving problems to defraud the believers of money. In fact. Destiny is a certainty. How can it be so easy to change? If you want to keep peace, you can only go back the way you came, as I said, and don't go any further. After speaking, the blind fairy stood up, dusted off his dust, and grabbed his small flag in his hand. To be a man, you must know how to avoid evil, you have a bloody disaster, I can't stay with you anymore, you are so self-conscious, I take my leave. ”

After speaking, the blind fairy walked out of the main hall without looking back, and left in the rain, no matter how the people behind him shouted.

The whole incident was weird, and after the blind fairy left, everyone looked at Zhao Zheng with a strange look. It's as if he's a plague god. The scholar, who seemed to be the most unbelieving, moved to the side. It seems that he wants to stay away from Zhao Zheng, so as not to get into bad luck.

"That old blind man is quite mysterious, it seems that I really have to leave you quickly, so as not to be implicated by you." Xu Ruyi glanced at Zhao Zheng and teased.

"I'm glad you're gone." Zhao Zheng said dryly. was told so miserably by the blind fairy, he had a very awkward feeling in his heart, he knew that this was the case, it was better not to divination, why bother to make himself so uncomfortable.

The little turmoil passed, and after a while, everyone forgot about the stubble and continued to go about their own business. The rain outside was much lighter, and it looked like we would be back on the road after a while. However, it was already approaching afternoon at this time, and even if I was in a hurry, I couldn't go far.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The sound of horses' hooves came from the rain, and from far and near, it seemed that another passer-by had come to take shelter from the rain.

Zhao Zheng's clothes have basically been dried, only his back is still wet, and he is facing the fire with his back to it, baking his back. He heard the sound of horses' hooves, but he couldn't turn around, so he didn't hurry to see who had come to take shelter from the rain.

"Excuse me." After the man entered the hall, he said hello lightly and sat down by the fire, facing Zhao Zheng's back.

Zhao Zheng frowned, this voice was so familiar, it seemed to be someone he knew.

"It's a mistake to let it rain all of a sudden." The man who came in later grumbled and said in a cold tone.

Zhao Zheng finally understood this person's voice this time, and judged the identity of this person.

It's actually the little sword demon Mo Yunzi!

Zhao Zheng secretly said that the road to his family was narrow, and he actually met him here. The sky is big, and the two actually came together again and rushed to a place to take shelter from the rain.

The two have always had an old feud, and their hatred is not shallow, as long as they meet, it will definitely lead to a bloody battle.

The blind fairy just said that he had a bloody disaster, but he didn't expect this disaster to come so soon!

In terms of strength, Zhao Zheng is half worse than Mo Yunzi, and he can't fight hard. He is now facing away from Moyunzi, and the other party has not yet recognized him, and there may be a chance to escape. He rolled his eyes, did not turn back rashly, but cleared his throat, pretended to be hoarse and said, "Sister, the rain is about to stop, we have something important to do, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”

This is said to Xu Ruyi, this woman is a ghost elf, as soon as she heard Zhao Zheng pretending to be someone else's voice, and said something strange, she immediately noticed that there was something wrong, and followed what Zhao Zheng said: "Okay, it's all up to your arrangement, you say go on the road." ”

Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Xu Ruyi didn't say anything, he didn't turn around, continued to turn his back to Mo Yunzi, and walked diagonally towards the door.

It was still raining outside, and the group of dart masters said to keep Zhao Zheng, but Zhao Zheng didn't speak, just waved his hand and walked quickly to the palace gate. Xu Ruyi sensed that Zhao Zheng was avoiding the newcomer, and immediately followed behind Zhao Zheng, for fear of getting into trouble.

Zhao Zheng heard it right, the new one who came in was Mo Yunzi who he hadn't seen for many days, and after many days, the injuries on Mo Yunzi's body had already healed, and now he has returned to his heyday. At this time, he was sitting in front of the fire, roasting a damp coat. When Zhao Zheng passed by him, he suddenly felt that his back was a little familiar, and his eyes narrowed, staring at Zhao Zheng's back.

Mo Yunzi's gaze swept around Zhao Zheng's body, and he suddenly recognized the one-life sword hanging from Zhao Zheng's waist, which was Zhao Zheng's signature.

"Zhao Zheng, you stop me!" Mo Yunzi snorted coldly, his voice was like a fast sword cutting through ice, "This is really a narrow road, I actually let me meet you here, today I must avenge the blood feud of that day and break you into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Zhao was struck by lightning and scolded secretly, but after all, he still couldn't escape this catastrophe. At this point, there is no escape, only a battle!

"Good sister, this is one of my former enemies, and the fortune teller should be referring to him when he talks about the disaster of blood and light. Today, our brother and sister worked together to get rid of him and save me from future troubles, and afterwards my brother invited you to go to the restaurant to have a good rub. Zhao Zheng tied Xu Ruyi to himself outside of his words, he was a cut worse than Mo Yunzi, and with Xu Ruyi's help, he could just make up for this gap.

Zhao Zheng said and pulled out his sword, took a step across, blocked the door, blocked Xu Ruyi's way, and forced Xu Ruyi to make a move for himself.

"The ghost is your sister!" Xu Ruyi suddenly changed color, took a step back, and explained to Mo Yunzi, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm just his hostage, not his sister, if you count it, I also have a grudge against him, if you want, I can help you clean him up together." ”

"Good sister, why are you still joking at this time, this person is very powerful, you can't underestimate him, you have to be full of energy." Zhao Zheng has a good sister, and the one called is called an intimacy.

"I'm not your sister! Don't get close to me, I have nothing to do with you. Xu Ruyi took another step back, for fear of getting into trouble, the newcomer was not easy to see.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the dart masters exchanged glances, retreated to the wall, and held their weapons tightly. As for the scholar, he was even more frightened and hid under the table, shivering.

Mo Yunzi slowly pulled out the Leng Feng Sword, glanced at Zhao Zheng and Xu Ruyi, and said coldly: "You brothers and sisters have to die here today." ”

"you, you big-headed ghost! Did you have a problem with your ears, didn't I just say it, I am not a brother and sister with him, I don't want to wade into this troubled water! Xu Ruyi tried to argue.

"I don't care if you're his sister or not, as long as it's someone who has something to do with him, I won't let it go!" Mo Yunzi shook the blade of his sword and pointed it directly at Zhao Zheng's front door, and an internal force erupted, the corners of his clothes trembled, and the fire next to him was almost extinguished.

As soon as Zhao Zheng heard Mo Yunzi say this, he had another plan in his heart, so he simply pulled the group of dart masters in, and shouted at the group of dart masters: "Brothers, come with me, and chop this guy with a knife!" "If you count this group of dart masters, you can almost defeat Mo Yunzi, but that group of dart masters will be a little dangerous.

When the dart masters heard this, they almost vomited blood in anger, and scolded together in their hearts: "This kid looks harmless to people and animals, how to do things is a bad stomach, he met an enemy, and he actually wanted to pull us into the water together and serve as a shield for him, it's really bad!" ”

"We're not your brothers!! The dart masters shouted in frustration.

Mo Yunzi also saw that Zhao was playing a scoundrel, snorted coldly, stabbed out with his sword, and went straight to Zhao's front door, and the sword turned into a white light, like a white dragon out of the water. (To be continued......)
