Chapter 10: The Fortune Teller

The night of the grassland is so calm, bleak and composed, there is no cricket cry here, there is no chaos in the world, everything is so calm, looking up at the sky, the night sky is dotted with stars, and even you can see the magpie bridge where the cowherd and the weaver girl meet, such a night is charming, with secrets that cannot be touched by the day

After the battle, we were all embarrassed by each other, and after a brief treatment of our injuries, we took a break, but I feared that the blood on the ground and the strong smell of blood would attract some other beasts, so I decided to continue on my journey while it was dark.

With old things and little ghosts exploring the way ahead, this road was not difficult to walk, and I walked with my head down for about five or six hours before a touch of red light appeared on the horizon.

At this time, there was a "woo" whistle sound from a distance, and I looked up, ha! It's a train, yes, it's swimming like a dragon on the prairie at the moment

I've only seen a train on TV when I'm so old, but even through the screen, I'm still excited, but now I've seen this big monster with steel all over my body, and the excitement in my heart is indescribable

I ran as hard as I could, trying to get closer, and waved my hand at it desperately, while constantly screaming, "Hey, hey, hey."

However, the train was still far away from me, and sped away, leaving only a "click" sound

Looking at the giant dragon that had disappeared, I suddenly decided on one thing, yes! I'm going to climb the train, right! I'm going to let it take us and take us where we want to go

We waited by the railroad for about an hour, and finally we waited for a train, and just as the train was about to pass us, I suddenly made a leap to the top of the train, and the old thing had come up before me with the little ghost.

The old thing seemed to be extremely excited, and its whole face was now only a row of fangs, but the little ghost was so frightened that he trembled, and his two little paws clung to the old thing, for fear that he would be blown down by the wind

The wind was blowing all the way, and my head was about to explode, and the little ghost head was no better, it turned out to be a cute little look, but now it has become a fried hedgehog.

However, the old thing is still very excited, and seems to enjoy the feeling of this train wagon, there is no dozing along the way, the two big eyes keep looking around, especially when it sees a plane flying high in the sky, it is even more excited to quack, it is estimated that it thinks that the plane is its kind

When it was almost noon, we quietly got off the bus in Xuanhua.

Xuanhua is an ancient city, with a history of more than 1,300 years, the Ming Dynasty was the first of the famous nine towns of the Great Wall, and during the Qing Dynasty, it was one of the 72 prefectures in the country, enjoying the reputation of "the first capital in western Beijing".

I let the old thing follow me secretly with the little thing, and it was also interesting, and it disappeared into the sky with its wings spread.

I walked down the street excitedly, pedestrians on the road looked at me from time to time, and even a few little girls pulled me to take pictures.

Only then did I realize that my Taoist dress looked too weird in this modern city.

But I don't care about other people's eyes, I waved my sleeves and walked away, and at the same time, I suddenly remembered a line from Stephen Chow's movie, which is very suitable for my current state of mind.

"Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it"

All the way, I was curious to look east and west, especially those scantily clad big wave girls, which made me swallow saliva constantly, without looking in the mirror, I could know how obscene my expression was at the moment

I just walked and looked, and unconsciously came to an ancient street built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and a city tower appeared in front of me, with three vigorous and powerful characters written on it: "Qingyuan Building".

The shape of the whole tower is simple but magnificent, I visually examined it, it is about 30 meters high, about 20 meters wide, and the appearance looks like a total of three floors, and the eaves of each floor are also finely carved.

On the second floor, there is a very large bronze bell, about two meters high, which looks very solemn.

Look at this ancient street again, there are shops on both sides, the bright pavilion cornices and the bluestone paved street are echoing each other, accompanied by the shouting of street vendors, coupled with my Taoist dress, in a trance, I seem to be in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which makes me feel a little through the feeling

However, just when I was stunned, I was greeted by a Taoist priest who was dressed like me, who didn't look much older than me, and his appearance was very handsome, but there was an obscene atmosphere between his eyebrows.

He was holding a yellow cloth banner in his hand, and when I looked at it, it actually read: "The mountain doctor's fate is divined, and the iron mouth breaks the life" and other two rows of big characters

Watching this obscene Taoist priest walking towards me step by step, I was thinking in my heart: "This strange thing happens every year, this year is a lot of it, what age is this, how can someone still take this thing and wander on the street, he is not afraid of letting the chengguan arrest him." ”

I'm thinking about it, but this Taoist priest has come to my nearest.

I saw the thumb of his right hand pinching his ring finger, then put his hand on his chest, gave me a look, and then said to me in a similar way: "This fellow Taoist, dare to ask where you came from and where are you going?" ”

I didn't understand why he asked this question, so I replied lightly: "Alas! Alas! Don't scream, I'm not your fellow Taoist. ”

When he heard me say this, he looked at me carefully, then looked at me and said, "Since you are not a fellow believer, why are you dressed like this?" ”

This Taoist priest is too wide, how do I dress and have a relationship with him, I immediately lowered my tone and said coldly: "What's the matter, did I dress up to spare the Qing Xiu of that family?" ”

He was not angry when I said this, but smiled slightly, and then reached out and touched his beard, which had few roots, and said to me:

"It's okay, I thought you and I were in the same way, so I wanted to come forward and say something, but you and I can meet in this ancient city today, then it can be regarded as fate, come and come, and let the poor road show you palmistry, so that you can solve problems and avoid evil."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab my wrist, but I hurriedly dodged, then waved my hand and said, "No! No! I don't need anything to avoid evil, you better show it to others. ”

With that, I walked quickly away from him, but I had not taken a few steps before he came up again, and said to me with a serious face:

"Don't go, fellow Daoists, you listen to the words of the poor Dao, in fact, I just saw that your Yin Tang is a little black, so I concluded that you have collided with something unclean recently, if you can listen to the words of the poor Dao at the moment, let the poor Dao I give you a good calculation, Bu Yibu, maybe you can also turn evil into good fortune, otherwise you will have a catastrophe in the future!"

"Get out of the ball, you have a catastrophe, to tell you the truth, I am more than you will count, but since you said so, then I will also say a few words, I see that your face is brittle at the moment, your expression is gloomy, and your eyes are cloudy, presumably you have been in trouble recently, so you better think of a way to resolve it for yourself first."

In fact, what I said is not nonsense, my book of six divination, more or less mentioned some ways to look at the appearance, the book said, one look at the spirit, the second look at the complexion, the third look at the turbid eyes, and the Taoist priest in front of him, is indeed in poor spirits, depressed, and has no god in his eyes, so I concluded that he has been distressed recently, but I don't know if it is a disaster.

After listening to my words, the Taoist priest was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said to me with a smile on his face: "What Daoist friends said is that I did encounter something today, so at the moment, I am shy, and the rivers and lakes are in emergency, can Brother Dao take me to the tavern there for a drink." ”

This dare is a poor ghost, but it's a pity that he found the wrong person, I thought about going to beg for something to eat, so I have the money to invite him to dinner.

Immediately, I clenched my fists and said: "Brother Dao, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I just walked the mountain road for a day yesterday, and I climbed the train for half a day today to come here. ”

"Brother Dao, don't laugh, I can smell the wine on you, if the poor Dao guessed correctly, you are carrying wine."

Hey! This bull's nose is old-fashioned, this nose is also bright enough, this can be smelled by him, it seems that I can only admit that I am unlucky!

Then the two of us came to the door of a store that was not open, squatted down, I took out the half bottle of grassland liquor and beef jerky, who knew that as soon as the Taoist priest saw that there was still meat, his saliva instantly flowed, but he seemed to be ignorant, rubbed his hands and said to me:

"I have practiced the poor way for many years, and I have always been a vegetarian, my master once said, saying that this heart has the Tao is the way of heaven, and this heart has no way is the evil way."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and then took another sip, heh! The expression was very enjoyable.

However, before the meat in his mouth could be swallowed, he continued: "Today I can drink wine and eat meat with you, although this scene is ugly, but this is the way of heaven, and it is the fate that you and I were destined to have in our previous lives. ”

This guy's eloquence really doesn't say that eating two pieces of meat can talk nonsense for a long time, and I'm really convinced.

The two of us were eating and drinking without any image, and the pedestrians on the road threw strange glances at us, probably they thought that we were crazy Taoist priests who ran out of the Taoist temple
