Chapter 68: The Nobleman
Xia Rong looked around and heard Jiang Tao's even snoring, so she whispered in her son's ear: "Today's day is a little special, I have to prepare in advance!"
"What day?"
"You little conscienceless, today is your father's birthday. ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Jiang Hai never expected that today was his father's birthday, and suddenly he felt that he was very bad, and he didn't even know his father's birthday, if it wasn't for his mother, he really didn't know, in fact, how could he know about his mother, but when he didn't leave home, his birthday was celebrated on time every year.
I may know what I'm missing. Jiang Hai thought to himself, and then said to his mother: "Mother, I'll go out for a while, and if my father asks, he will say I'll go out for a walk." ”
Xia Rong was stunned but let him go, he knew that he had to be sensible to his son, and when he was a child, he did not hesitate to go to the Demon Moon Forest in order to prepare gifts for his grandfather, and now he may also be preparing gifts.
In fact, Jiang Hai ran towards the outside of the village, he wanted to find a real gift.
The time is still early, and few people in the village have opened their doors early, and it will take about an hour to get to the nearest city, and with his current realm, he can reach it very quickly with a little bit of true qi. It was also lunch time when I returned.
He hadn't used True Qi for a long time, which made him feel a little rusty, watching the scene next to him retreat quickly, his mind was full of guilt, he always thought that he was a filial child, only to find that he was so unfilial, and he didn't even know his parents' birthdays.
It seems that his approach was wrong from the beginning, and he even neglected the most important family affection, and it was time to change his mind.
Muyang City, bathed in the sunshine and born, this city also has a thousand years old, there has been an incomparably glorious past, but the time has passed the geographical location has changed significantly, and it has also lost its former prosperity.
Jiang Hai entered the city, but he was at a loss, because he didn't know what to choose, the most important reason was that he didn't bring money, in fact, he didn't have any money, he didn't even have his clothes, and he was in too much hurry to forget everything.
He walked around the city, thinking about how to get the silver taels.
"Fortune telling, fortune telling, seeking marriage, seeking fame, foreseeing misfortune, praying for blessings from God...... It is not allowed to go unpaid. A Taoist priest with a white sail walked past Jiang Hai, and there were only three black characters on the white sail, Zhou Banxian.
"Little brother, do you want to count a hexagram. That Zhou Banxian suddenly turned around and smiled at Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai frowned suddenly, he didn't have much interest in this kind of Jianghu warlock itself, and the robe this person was wearing was dirty, and the black one hadn't been washed for a long time, so he didn't bother to continue to think about how to get the silver tael.
It's just that Zhou Banxian didn't give up but kept up with Jiang Hai, and said: "No, don't take a penny." ”
This made Jiang Hai a little impatient and said: "I said this gentleman, my pocket is cleaner than my face now, you should find another way to make money." ”
Zhou Banxian stroked his beard and smiled: "Money is a foreign object, I knew early on that you have no money, but your bones make me curious and I want to calculate for you, as for the silver taels, not having it at this moment does not mean that there will be no next moment, and the next moment will not be sooner or later, and you will beg for me when the time comes." ”
These words made Jiang Hai also curious, this person was so angry, and he had to beg for him. Seeing that he was so determined, he couldn't help but think: 'Could it be that this person is not a charlatan, but a hidden master?' Only then did he seriously look at this Zhou Banxian. The appearance is extremely ordinary, only a pair of eyes are still bright, and the wisp of beard looks unique.
"I don't know what Mr. wants to calculate?" Jiang Hai stopped and decided to see what he really was.
"I will calculate three trigrams for you, one hexagram of life, one hexagram of marriage, and one hexagram of future. ”
After speaking, he took out a pair of tortoise shells from his bosom, shook them, and flew out a few copper coins. Jiang Hai has seen this appearance, or the ruffian Tianjizi in the Burning Plains, and now it is the same prop, I don't know if it is related.
"This hexagram seems to be stable but actually shows a dangerous image, your life should be a life of inaction, but it is changed because of an accident, because of this change your life will be in the sword light and blood shadow, I don't know if my life is accurate?
Although Jiang Hai didn't believe in this fortune-telling at the beginning, Zhou Banxian was right at this moment, so he had to nod.
"Okay, I'll calculate the marriage for you again and stretch out my hand. ”
Jiang Hai stretched out his hand, and after watching it for a while, Zhou Banxian shook his head, "Your palmistry is the same as your face, like a flower in the moon in the water, and you can't see through it, forget it, let's use a hexagram." ”
After speaking, there was another burst of movements, this time it was different from the previous one, and there were words in his mouth, I don't know if it was a spell or a spell, and Jiang Hai's mind was very confused.
The tortoise shell spit out three copper coins, one large and two small in a triangular pattern, Zhou Banxian looked at it for a moment before he said quietly: "Copper coins have sizes, and people are also male and female." The big one is a male saint general, and it should not stick to the leaves in the ten thousand flowers, but the small one is also extraordinary is the root of the fairy spirit, and the three complement each other and never give up, this is your marriage. ”
Jiang Hai looked at the three copper coins and was stunned, could it be that he could still marry two wives, although three wives and four concubines were extremely common in this continent, but his monogamous thinking was already deep-rooted. Puzzled, he asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Zhou Banxian squinted at Jiang Hai and spit out a few words in his mouth: "The leakage of the heavenly machine is already a great difficulty, and you still expect me to say it a second time?"
In Jiang Haibai's eyes, he began to speak again, "The future is just very difficult, this doesn't have to be a hexagram, it will only reduce my lifespan, I have already written a bag for you, take it." ”
Zhou Banxian took out a brocade bag from his arms and handed it to Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai didn't pick it up, because it was too 'brocade', so he wondered if it was wrapped in a rag that he picked up casually from the ground.
"Look at what to take, after settling my fate with you, I will go elsewhere to make a fortune. ”
Jiang Hai took the bag at this time, but he frowned.
"Later you will open it and go to the third alley at the corner of the West Gate, where your nobles will be found. ”
Then Jiang Hai felt a push on his back. He rushed forward a few steps, but fortunately, the person behind him didn't make a heavy move, but it also surprised him that this Zhou Demixian was clearly a master, and he shot so fast that even as a sect master, he didn't notice how the other party made a move.
Jiang Hai turned around and no longer saw Zhou Banxian, but his voice came from his ears, "This time the hexagram money is ten thousand taels of gold, you will give it to me in the future, haha, Xiao Jianghai go." ”
Jiang Hai hurriedly shouted, "Who is the senior?"
However, that Zhou Banxian had no voice, and Fang was the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique, and now he didn't know where he was.
Jiang Hai searched around again, and it was indeed out of his breath before continuing to walk forward. Who is this person, and he who has such a way must not be an ordinary person. But why find yourself?' He had infinite doubts in his mind, but one thing was certain, this man was not an enemy, and if he did, he would be surrounded by a siege.
Jiang Hai looked around, and several people near him who raised his voice just now were looking at him. 'Just ask them about the origin of this week's half-immortals. ’
I found the old man selling sugar gourds next to me and asked, but the old man just replied, "I've been selling things here for fifteen years, and this is the first time I've seen him." ”
Jiang Hai thanked him, but he didn't expect that this half-immortal would come specifically to find him, who was he and what was his purpose?
He had to go to this West Gate, he now believed in Zhou Banxian's words, and he also wanted to see who his so-called noble person was.
When I arrived at the west gate, I heard someone talking before I entered the third alley.
"Jia Yuanwai, everyone knows that you are a well-known good person in the neighborhood, I haven't eaten for a few days, you send me some silver with kindness, even if it's a few steamed buns. ”
Jiang Hai went in sideways and hid in a corner, and saw an old man with unkempt hair lying on the ground, one trouser leg empty, begging for a middle-aged man in brocade clothes with a big belly.
Jia Yuanwai looked at the beggar and felt unlucky, looking for a place to urinate, he could touch the beggar, he glanced around and didn't see a person, so he kicked the old man away. "You get out of my way, no one in the neighborhood wants me to give you charity, who knows who I give, what good will it do to my reputation. After speaking, he kicked again, "It's really unlucky, and it disturbed me to go to Yaxing in Wanchun Pavilion." ”
Then he spat at the old man again, ignored the old man's groans and turned around to leave, but found a person standing at the entrance of the alley, staring coldly at himself against the wall.
This made Jia Yuanwai very unhappy, and scolded loudly: "What have you seen before? ”
The person who came slowly walked into the alley with a chuckle, so that Jiang Hai could see clearly that this was barely an acquaintance, Wang Xi, who had a relationship with each other in Zhulu Academy.
Why is he here? This is his nobleman?
I only heard him laugh and said: "Jia Yuanwai, Jia Yuanwai, your surname is really right, if it is really fake, you want to beat me?
That Jia Yuanwai is just a speculative businessman, it's okay to play tricks and move his mouth, if he really wants to do it, it's a waste, if it weren't for the old man on the ground who broke off a limb, no matter how young he is, I believe he can't beat him. Of course, he didn't dare to make a move at this moment, but he also saw that Wang Xi was gorgeously dressed and graceful, and he looked like a practitioner.
"Don't you dare? Didn't you say you were going to hit me just now?" it looks like you owe it," he said.
"Papapa" sounded a few times, he had arrived in front of Jia Yuanwai, and the latter covered his mouth, blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, and the fat head and big ears were now swollen like a pig's head, and Wang Xi was not beaten lightly.
"Your feet are also cheap, and in my opinion, one is enough for you. ”
There was a kick at the outsider, first with a click, followed by a pig-like scream of "Ah......" and then fainted to the ground.
Wang Xi didn't care about the life or death of the outsider, he walked straight to the beggar and helped him up, the beggar was afraid, he didn't expect this personable son to be so ruthless, and he was afraid of provoking him, and his body trembled violently.
"Don't be afraid that I won't do anything to you, or to him, just let him taste the pain. After speaking, he took out a pill from his bosom and fed it to the beggar.
The beggar suddenly became energetic and hurriedly bowed his hand to Wang Xi.
Wang Xi waved his hand and grabbed the outside, and a delicate money bag flew into his hand, and the money bag swelled with a lot of silver taels, and he took out a silver ingot from it and handed it to the beggar.
"You take it and go quickly, I believe that his scream just now attracted the city guards. ”
The beggar was also afraid to leave after thanking him, Wang Xi put the money bag in his arms, and was about to leave when he saw Jiang Hai.
