Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Fortune Teller and the Old Way of the Oxtail [I]
Blowing the sea breeze, Shen Yuan and the old man named Li Qi chatted for a long time, and Shen Yuan knocked on the side to learn more about the secrets of the year. The old man smiled and played Tai Chi, and all said that the old man was too young and so on, perfunctory! Shen Yuan knew that the old man really didn't want to get involved in the current chaos, and this should also be the attitude of the Yunyin Sect of Zhongnan Mountain!
The two of them chatted like two old friends, and after about an hour or so, the old man patted a few grains of sea sand on his body and stood up barefoot.
Shen Yuan hurriedly and respectfully accompanied the old man out of the pavilion, and the old man looked back at Shen Yuan and said, "Okay! Don't give it away, young man! The old man's appearance today is a meaning, if he doesn't show up, the one in Tongyuan Fort won't be reconciled with the old man! But in fact, what can you do if you force the old man to show up?
Alasγγγγγγ ups and downs on the rivers and lakes, there is still no one who wants to do without a word! γγγYou stay, our grandfather and son are considered to know each other today, and I will mention them to those juniors in my door, if you encounter something related to you, you may be embarrassed." But I should still be able to talk to you or something. But γγγ they are now public after allγγγ some things may not necessarily listen to me, and the road of your generation has to rely on you to walk! β
Shen Yuan nodded: "The juniors have written it down, Senior Li can rest assured, the juniors of Yunyinmen understand this friendship!" γγγ other γγγ Shenyuan did not come close.
The old man nodded, glanced at Shen Yuan approvingly, and said: "Yunyin Gate is located in Zhongnan Mountain, seven hundred miles away from Guanzhong, although there are only a few unusable old guys left in the gate now, but if you pass by there, we old guys still have the backbone to open the door to welcome guests!" Hahahaγγγ if you have a fate, go in and be a guest! Mr. Xiao Shenγγγ don't leave it at that! β
After speaking, the old man smiled and nodded to Shen Yuan, hunched his back slightly, and slowly walked towards the old men he had just met in the distance.
Shen Yuan stood straight with his hands in his hands, watching the old man go away little by little.
When he returned to the hotel room, Shen Yuan saw Liu Wen and Dao Zai waiting for him, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, the old man of the old thirteen gates, chatted casually." β
Liu Wen nodded and said, "The Five Immortal Sect Fox Immortal Family seems to have made a big move recently, it should be that they are forcing these people from the old Thirteen Sects to make a statement!" It depends on whether they want to protect themselves or are still like-minded. β
Shen Yuan shook his head: "This is not necessarily a good thing, now the purpose of the Xuanyi Sect is not clear, and there are not many remaining heirs of the Old Thirteen Sects." Relying only on the Five Immortal Sect and the Min Zhulin family, even if we are γγγγγγ"
Liu Wen shook his head: "You can't think soγγγ we can't understand the number of Xuanyi Sect's paths, it doesn't mean that Min Zhulin and the Five Immortal Sect can't understand it!" We don't understand it because we haven't entered the game yet, and the jade connoisseur γγγγγγ has always been an outlier in the cultivation world, mysterious but powerful. Don't be disheartened, you have just stepped into the rivers and lakes, and now you are listening, watching, thinking and expressing your position less! Improving strength is king! β
Shen Yuan scratched his head and looked at Liu Wen: "Why am I so heartwarming when I hear this?" Xiaowen, why don't you just join me as a jade connoisseur? Hahaha"
Liu Wen blushed, turned his face sideways to hide his embarrassment, and said, "I'm not rareγγγ what's the benefit of joining your jade connoisseur sect?" I'm not a member of the Shen familyγγγ if I enter an outer door, I have to be supported by that unreliable guy from Shen Budo! β
The knife boy who was just in his early twenties was not good at words, standing behind the sofa and quietly listening to the conversation between Shen Yuan and Liu Wen, and he was still very moved by Shen Yuan's words without shying away from them. plucked up the courage to interject: "Door master! Sister Liu Wen is telling the truth, we disciples with foreign surnames basically can't learn Xuanmen Kung Fu, unless γγγ unless Sister Liu Wen marries into the Shen family! β
The words of the knife boy are simply embarrassing, his mother opened the door --- embarrassed to get home!
Liu Wen turned around and glanced at the knife boy fiercely! said coldly: "Okay! This was all learned from that guy Shen Budo, right? You're going to make fun of your sister, right? β
The knife boy hurriedly waved his hand and apologized again and againγγγγγγ
A few people tacitly did not mention the recent troubles, and ran to the restaurant to eat a real seafood feast with a smile.
Shen Yuan paid attention to the old man who claimed to be Li Qi of the Yunyin Gate of Zhongnan Mountain, and he never appeared again, and the knife boy also asked Shen Yuan if he wanted to take someone to follow and investigate. Shen Yuan refused, and the people originally came to the door to show their goodwill, and they also vaguely expressed a sense of distanceγγγ
Therefore, Shen Yuan felt that it was not necessary! Friend and foe are already divided, and it is enough, and there is no need to figure everything out. Everything is too exhausted, fate is bound to end early, this truth, Shen Yuan still understands.
The seasonal freshness of the seaside is naturally a variety of seafood, and the Chinese seafood cooking pursues the original umami, and most of them are simple steaming. In early summer, it is not very good, and the crab skin and shrimp are not fat enough.
However, the chef's specialty dishes recommended by the old manager for decades, steamed turbot fish and hot squid flowers are still really delicious, accompanied by steamed crab and conch, steamed scallops with garlic, and cold beer. The people who ate were very happyγγγγγγ
The cuttlefish are all the little brothers who follow Shen Budo in Nanyang, and they have their own eyesight. Seeing that the owner of the door was eating happily and the cuttlefish greeted him, the old manager handed over a tip of 500 tips, which surprised the old manager and excused himself, explaining that we are a state-run old nursing home for the elderly. There is no such bad habit of taking tips, and I will only serve the tourist staff wellγγγγγγ
Shen Yuan and Liu Wen looked funny and signaled the cuttlefish not to tip so much, and the cuttlefish also remembered that the mainland, especially the northern region, did not have a tradition of tipping. The scene was also a little embarrassing for a whileγγγ
Shen Yuan pulled the manager and took the tip in the cuttlefish's hand and gently stuffed it into the manager's pants pocket without a trace, and whispered: "Don't think about it, these friends of mine are all overseas Chinese friends with Malaysian passports, and they are used to tipping abroad." Take it! Just think of it as a hard work for the chef, and just add a specialty dish to us later! β
The old manager hurriedly agreed, and hurried to the back kitchen with his pocket, Shen Yuan looked at the old manager's back with a smile, thinking about the five hundred tips, I don't know how much he will give to the chef?
After a while, a sea urchin steamed egg was served, and several people tasted it, and the taste was really good, it seems that the chef should have got a little benefit, and he used his heart when making this dish!
Full of wine and food, Liu Wen went back to his room to rest with a cuttlefish on crutches, and Shen Yuan, who had been a mess on the surface, walked out of the sanatorium to take a break outside.
The drunken knife boy slowly followed behind him, Shen Yuan used to like the eccentric Xiao Qi the most, but now Shen Yuan is more and more at ease with this often muffled knife boy, the knife boy is extremely self-disciplined, and is also proficient in firearms fighting, and his mind is also calm and serious, and he is definitely a terrible opponent for the enemy. In addition, he has a great eye for money, and knows when and where he should be.
The two of them were separated by a distance of five or six meters, and Shen Yuan walked through the people and things he had encountered these days, and unconsciously left the boulevard outside the sanatorium. Shen Yuan didn't care too much, anyway, he had been exposed to the bright side in everyone's eyes, and there was nothing to hide. What should come will come!
Just when Shen Yuan lit a cigarette and was about to beckon the knife boy to come up and chat and walk together, there was a small quarrel next to a garbage can on the side of the road!
Shen Yuan looked intently and saw a young man sitting in the open space next to the garbage can on the side of the road, arguing with a fat man who was half-squatting in front of him. The young man was dressed a little scruffily, but clean, with a black half-worn backpack and sitting on a newspaper beside him. The cardboard torn off a cardboard box in front of him was written in black with a few black words on it. Shen Yuan noticed that these words were handsome and neat, and the writer seemed to be a person with pen and ink skills.
I saw a fat man in his fifties squatting hard, pointing at the young man, and shouting in his mouth. Shen Yuan listened curiously to a few words, probably saying that this kid is a fortune teller and a liar!
I heard the little young man say with a sad face: "This big brother! I am a disciple of the lineage, and although the kung fu of fortune-telling and bone touching is not profound, it is still done. You want to calculate marriage, this is really not my strength, I want to give you a touch of the bone to calculate the fortune. But γγγ but your body is too thick! I can't touch it even if I try my best! β
"Poof", as soon as he heard Xiao Young say this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but be happy!
The fat man looked back and saw that he had made a fool of himself in front of others, and he was even more annoyed, so he opened his mouth and scolded. The young man consciously took care of the loss, but he endured it in frustration, and the fat man became more and more energetic, and the swear words gradually increased.
Shen Yuan was a little too lazy to meddle and uncomfortable to listen to, so he frowned and prepared to leave. Seeing that the owner of the door was unhappy, Daozi took a step and stared coldly at the fat man who was scolding, and said in a deep voice: "If you think it's inaccurate, return the money and leave, what are you yelling here?" β
The fat man struggled to stand up straight, and just wanted to spill, but he saw the cold eyes of the knife boy clearly! Somehow, subconsciously it was a trembling, and the dirty words that came to my mouth were swallowed back with the saliva! Quickly turned his head and glared at the fortune teller viciously, and left with a mutter.
Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders and wanted to turn away, but the young man sitting on the ground looked up at Shen Yuan's face. Said softly: "This gentleman, he has been riddled with blood and evil qi recently, and he should take a good time to recuperate and recuperate, otherwise it will damage his luck over time!" β
Shen Yuan's footsteps paused, and this diaphragm responded in his heart! How? It's only been a few days since I left the Dahei Temple? Has this been spread all over the world? This kid is obviously not a good person!
Shen Yuan turned his head and looked coldly at the fortune teller sitting on the ground, and asked softly, "What else do you know?" It's a secluded place to finish all at once! β
Xiao Young was in a daze for a moment, and said stupidly: "Aren't all masters talking like this?" Why don't you follow the routine? β
Shen Yuan paused for a moment and asked, "Where are you from?" β
Xiao Young scratched his long hair that was a little unkempt and replied: "I came from Xishu, and Master asked me to come to Shengjing City to return the Dharma Seal inherited in Yingmen, and someone told me a few days ago that when you appear here, you can get back the Dharma Seal of my Master's Gate!" I'll be waiting for you right here. β
Shen Yuan looked at him and asked, "Do you recognize me?" β
Xiao Young nodded: "The jade spiritual power on your body is unique in the world, and cultivators with the inheritance of the elders should be able to recognize it." β
When Shen Yuan heard this, there was a burst of reaction in his heart, and his feelings were that he was a personal-shaped billboard? I've always thought I was so mysterious! As a result, in the eyes of other people's big mountain gates, he is no different from stripping naked and running naked?
Dao Zai whispered in Shen Yuan's ear: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the master of the door and the old man Shen have already said that the jade masters of the past dynasties have always seen the head and the tail of the dragon." Feel free to do it! β
Shen Yuan sighed and said, "You also said it, that's the jade connoisseurs of the past dynasties!" How can I have my grandfather's ability now? β
The knife boy stopped squeaking.
Shen Yuan carefully looked at the little young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the little young man stood up a little helplessly, and Shen Yuan noticed that he was not supporting his body with his hands. Instead, the legs exert direct force, relying on the ankles and the outer calf muscles to stand up lightly, which is not something that can be practiced overnight, but a perennial meditation habit and sufficient strength or deep internal strength to achieve the whole movement so light and smooth and free.
Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Qingqing's eyes and asked, "Are you coming down from Qingcheng Mountain?" β
The young man grinned, "Yes! β
Shen Yuan nodded and walked forward: "Let's go!" It seems that you don't have a lot of money, so let's find a place to eat and talk first! β
As soon as the young man heard that there was something to eat, he immediately smiled: "Guests are as good as they are!" I listen to you! β
When the sky darkened, Shen Yuan and Dao Zai sat in the corner outside a secluded small restaurant, next to a small table, Shen Yuan pinched a glass of beer and looked with interest at the fortune teller who was gobbling up something opposite the two.
There are not many things on the table, two seafood stir-fries, one sauce beef and two plates of vegetables. The young man is already pulling the fifth bowl of seafood noodles! Before eating, Shen Yuan asked him if he had any taboos? The young man said that there was nothing taboo, but when the dish was served, he did not eat the plate of beef. Shen Yuan knew that people with Taoist beliefs usually did not eat beef, and it was rumored that it was because of the green ox that Lao Tzu rode when he sent a letter to Guguan.
Putting the fifth bowl of seafood noodles into his stomach, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and did not stand up, but still bowed his hand respectfully to Shen Yuan and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen for your hospitality!" Liu Lang, a disciple of the outer sect of Xiaqingcheng Mountain, has been living here for three days, this is the first time I have gone down the mountain in these years, and I accidentally fell into the way of a bad person and was deceived and entangled. But I finally had to meet Mr. Shen, but I was lucky to invite the sky! β
Shen Yuan noticed that although this young man named Liu Lang was trying his best to speak Mandarin, there would still be a little Sichuan and Shu flavor at the end of the words. Shen Yuan nodded and asked, "Who is your master?" Why did you come to me to ask for some seals? And γγγ who told you to come here to me? β
A trace of confusion flashed on Liu Lang's ordinary face, and he replied: "My master is a Niuwei Daoist from the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain, and he told me in March this year that I was going to quietly go down the mountain to Shengjing City to find this generation of jade connoisseurs to return the lost seal of the mountain gate, and I took the train to Guanwai at the beginning of this month." In Shengjing City, I tried my best to find a Taoist temple and inquire about the name of the jade connoisseur, but I was pointed to an antique city!
I wandered there for three days before a passer-by told me that the jade connoisseur was active near the street of Beidaihe these days, I took the train overnight and ran here again, and at the train station, I was deceived by two young people who asked me for love, I had been guarding the trash can for two days, if I wasn't hungry, I really couldn't help it, I wouldn't have set up a fortune-telling stall to embarrass the teacher, but I caught up with the fat man who couldn't touch the bonesγγγγγγ"
Shen Yuan nodded without squeaking, and the knife boy looked at Shen Yuan and asked Liu Lang: "You know how to tell fortunes, but you don't give yourself a fortune, where can I find the person you are looking for?" β
Liu Lang shook his head: "Forget itγγγ the whereabouts of the Jade Master have always been covered by innate fog, how can I calculate this bit of Taoism?" Don't talk about me, even my master, I'm afraid it won't work! β
Shen Yuan was stunnedγγγ he couldn't imagine that the inheritance he was carrying was a bit unique.
Liu Lang said: "Master said that I should call you Mr. Shen, dare to ask Mr. Shen, is the method seal lost at my mountain gate kept by you?" If so, can you return the seal to me? β
Shen Yuan sorted out his thoughts for a long time, and at the same time, he was quietly observing the young man opposite who claimed to be from the Qingcheng Mountain Dao Gate, and the jade spiritual power on his body never stopped. I only think that the young man named Liu Lang on the other side can only be described in two words, that is, simple!
Looks, movements, looks, and tone of voice are all natural. The breath on his body was as calm as water, without the slightest fluctuation of chaos, and what made Shen Yuan trust the most was that his grandfather left a book saying that the green ox seal in his hand was indeed the holy artifact of the Qingcheng Mountain Daomen, so that he could return it to the Qingcheng Mountain Daomen when he had the opportunity.
Facing Liu Lang's hopeful eyes, Shen Yuan said: "I have the seal, and it's not impossible to return it, but what do you use to prove your identity?" β
Liu Lang suddenly seemed to be deflated, and said, "I γγγ lost my ID card." β
Shen Yuan and Dao Zai both laughed when they heard thisγγγ
Shen Yuan continued: "I mean, what do you use to prove that you are a disciple of the Qingcheng Mountain Dao Sect, and whose instructions did you rely on to find me to return the Dharma Seal? β
"My Master! The old road of oxtail in the mountain behind Qingcheng Mountain! β
"Then call the old man of the oxtail to come to me!"
Liu Lang suddenly became depressed like a deflated ball, and said dejectedly: "I knew that this would not work, how could anyone with empty mouths and white teeth come to ask for other people's things, and there is no sincerity." If you don't have any money, you have to prepare some gifts or something, right? But the master is also a poor jingle! Just send me to shame γγγ alasγγγ"
Daozi quietly looked at Shen Yuan's face, and saw that his master didn't say anything else, so he let go of most of his heart. looked at the appearance of this strange kid on the other side, but he didn't look like an experienced number of people in the rivers and lakes, compared to the disciples of the Five Immortals Sect who had become like a spirit, this guy was just like a stupid boy.
The silly boy continued: "My master said that if I can't bring back the Dharma seal, I won't go back. Can γγγγγγ"
"Oh? Are you threatening me? Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Lang with a smile.
