Early the next morning, before dawn, Niu Zhan got up early and left school, and today was the first time he skipped class.

The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, so that you can draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and defeat the opponent.

If you want to bring down the master surnamed Chen, it is impossible to come up with a clever plan just by lying on the bed. So he decided to go to the Buddha to squat and see if he could find any opportunities.

When he pedaled out in a small broken car, that is, at five o'clock in the morning, there were very few cars on the road, let alone pedestrians, and the most were hard-working sanitation workers, except for a few breakfast stalls, almost no shops were open.

The place where the Buddha's good fate is located, although it is located in the downtown area, is only on a small street. But this street is called Miaoqian Street, which is quite famous in Longdu, because there is a Guan Gong Temple nearby, and the shops on the entire street are engaged in cultural industries, to put it bluntly, it is an antique jade jewelry store. There are also those who specialize in selling feng shui utensils, but only the Buddha Shanyuan is the only one who does feng shui consulting.

When the cow struggled, the street was deserted, and he found that the door had not yet opened, and he knew that he had come early. On both sides of the street were old trees, and there was nowhere to go, so I squatted under the trees, smoked cigarettes, and observed all kinds of people on the road.

I sat until seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and the shops on the street opened one after another, but there was no movement at all. However, at this time, the careful cattle struggle also found that the early bird has insects to eat, which is no longer suitable for modern society. Because the earlier you get up, the more you suffer, sanitation workers, traders who run small trades, office workers, almost this is the order of appearance, it is really a good car to go out late, and the poor are early!

And the brighter the façade and the more imposing the look, the later the store opens.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, and the shops on the street were open, but the doors of Buddha Shanyuan were still closed. Niu Struggle thought that it was unfortunate that he came, and people were estimated to be closed today. But when he saw that there was a line at the door, he was very puzzled, so he walked over and followed the line, wanting to see what was going on.

Who knew that as soon as he stood at the back of the line, an enthusiastic lady in front of him turned around and asked, "You are also here to ask for a signature?" ”

Niu Zhan let out an "oh" in a daze, thinking in his heart, why don't you go to the temple if you ask for a sign, and come to this kind of place, the temple is a formal institution that has been certified by the gods.

"Young man, you're really here, Master Chen, that is really a clever immortal, but you must be here for the first time!"

Niu Struggle muttered: "Auntie, how do you see it?" ”

"Do you still need to watch this, because you don't understand the rules!"

"Rules? There are also rules for fortune telling? ”

"Nowhere else, Master Chen is different. The master said that he would be punished by God for spying on the heavens, but he was kind-hearted and bodhisattva-hearted, and he could not see people suffering the most, so he did not hesitate to lose his fortune and lose his life, but also to guide others. However, with his mana, he can accept up to seven people a day, otherwise he will incur bad luck. If you really ask for advice, come early next time, it will definitely not be your turn today! The eldest lady said in a respectful tone.

As soon as Niu Zhan heard this, he began to scold his mother in his heart, this is clearly a nonsense made up by charlatans, what kind of bullshit snooping on the heavenly machine, if the heavenly machine is so easy to be calculated, is it still called the heavenly machine. The group of immortals in the sky, to say less, are all counted in thousands of years, and they can't even play with people who don't even have a turtle's long life? It's ridiculous.

Of course, there are indeed strange people in the world who can peep into the heavens. But those masters can even know the heavens, and they are not afraid of any retribution and punishment at all. I also watch up to seven a day, is it clearly hunger marketing, shameless!

Niu Struggle wanted to scold, but seeing that the eldest lady was full of piety and was very enthusiastic about herself, she couldn't help thinking about it.

But he immediately found that there were only five people in front of him, and he was only six, so why did the eldest mother say that she was late?

"Auntie, no, aren't you only the fifth, why can't I be in line?"

"Little Housheng, you don't understand this, Master Chen has to leave two places every day to give guidance to those who urgently need guidance!"

"Need pointers?" Niu Zhan smacked it a few times, and tasted something special, so he asked with a smile: "Auntie, the person who urgently needs guidance, does he have to pay more money?" ”

"Look at you, a little offspring, you really can't speak, the master saves the world, is it for money? People don't hesitate to give us a pointer or two, we naturally have to know how to be grateful, as for how to thank, it depends on whether you are sincere enough, and it is vulgar to mention money! The eldest lady said very unhappily.

Niu Zhanxin said: If you still have feelings with me, I don't believe that I can't ask for money.

So with a sincere apology, he said: "Don't get me wrong, auntie, I am indeed very sincere, but you see that I am a poor student, and if I take out all my sincerity, it will be less than a thousand yuan. ”

"Then you better come to line up early tomorrow, but don't blame the aunt for telling the truth, even if you can get in line, your sincerity is still not sincere enough, it doesn't mean it, can it still be called meaning? However, Master Chen is a good person, and if you are really in trouble, he may still be able to help. As for the extra two places, ahem, it is not okay to add a zero later, you must also have an identity and status. Of course, the master is not for money and fame, you must not misunderstand, you must know that the difficulties of our small people cannot be compared with the difficulties of the big people, and the difficulties of others are much greater, so the master consumes a lot of mana, which is reasonable. ”

Listening to the bullshit logic of the eldest lady, he was angry and ridiculous, and it seemed that he was poisoned.

But when he turned his head and thought about it, he was also secretly frightened, good guy, the temple asks for a sign, and a hexagram on the side of the road, at most it is only a hundred or ten yuan, and this surnamed Chen will cost more than a thousand yuan when he opens his mouth. And listen to the meaning of the eldest mother, the extra two places left are not enough to have money, but also to have a head and a face, what is the difference between a liar and a clear robbery?

Thinking of this, he was even more determined to rob the land.

Seeing that the eldest lady's expression was already a little cold, Niu Struggle left with interest and hid under the big tree on the other side of the road.

At this time, there were a lot of vendors on the side of the road who set up stalls to sell small antiques, and Niu Zhan did not feel bored, while paying attention to the opposite side, while looking at the real and fake gadgets on the ground, listening to them fool those customers who seemed to understand or not.

Looking at these, Niu Zhan's heart was almost amused. The seller knows his things well, but he pretends to be a stupid and stupid appearance. And the buyer, who knows a little bit about it, insists on putting on an expert style and making judgments. In the end, expensive things are sold to pretending to be more than people!

However, among these people, Niu Zhan found a particularly interesting old man, who looked like that, dressed as a down-and-out Taoist priest, and should be a fortune teller. But what made him different from others was that he didn't put any "Zhou Yi gossip, God counts as a great immortal" in front of him, but threw a handful of dead grass from the lawn on the ground. Leaning against a tree, squinting and basking in the warm sun.

There are a lot of passers-by, and there are fortune-telling stalls elsewhere, all surrounded by a lot of people watching the excitement, but his field is particularly deserted. Some people would stop to take a look, but it was entirely out of curiosity about his sloppy shape, and the weeds on the ground, and no one asked.

The more Niu Zhan looked at it, the more interesting he felt, anyway, before the Buddha Shanyuan opened the door, he squatted beside the old man and said with a smile: "Uncle, can you eat enough if you do this business?" ”

The old man blinked his eyes, looked at Niu Struggle with tiredness, and said lazily: "Damn, as soon as you say that I am really hungry, I blame you, you have to be responsible, go, hurry up and buy food for the old man!" ”

Niu Zhan did not feel unhappy because of the old man's unkindness, but had a sense of intimacy for no reason, and his interest in him became even stronger.

Standing up with a smile and running to the pancake stand at the intersection to buy two sets of egg scones and two bags of hot milk.

handed one to the old man, kept one for himself and said, "It just so happens that I am also hungry, come, let's pad our stomachs together!" ”

The old Taoist priest was not polite, and the two of them quickly ate clean.

After eating, the old Taoist priest looked at the cow struggle and smiled quietly.
