Chapter 10: The Covenant of Han Lao
After half a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Liu stabilized her mood, and her makeup at this moment was already crying, but there was still a miserable beauty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"There are countless masters under the Prime Minister, and I will still be arrested after all, thank you this time, you gave me time to buffer. I'll take this opportunity to clean up, and then brew some drunken dreams and deaths for you, which can be regarded as repaying your personal favor. If you can, get out of here after that. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you doubly. Shopkeeper Liu said to Xuanyuan.
"Since I have made a move, I will not let you go, after all, your drunken dreams and death can't be enjoyed only by me." Regulus smiled, this time he smiled sincerely. "The reason why your wine is called drunk and dreaming of death is probably because of your heart that wants to get drunk in a dream in order to be reborn."
"If they want to come, let them come to the Qiankun pawnshop to find me." As soon as Xuanyuan finished speaking, he disappeared into the room, as he had been when he came, as if he had never appeared.
"Drunk to death in a dream, in order to be reborn, it is very appropriate." Shopkeeper Liu rushed to the position where Xuanyuan disappeared, and he didn't know whether to pretend to talk to Xuanyuan or talk to himself.
"Xuanyuan, you are handsome in front of me like this, I don't want to go back." Looking at where he was standing before, a smile appeared on Liu Ruwan's face.
……
"I didn't drink the wine, but I got into some trouble." Xuanyuan, who had just brushed his handsome appearance in front of Liu Ruwan, walked on the street, but he seemed to have been greatly wronged. I don't know if someone would think he would be handsome if he was here.
"Ever since Lan got injured, I've become more and more nosy. Wouldn't I care if others weren't happy? Xuanyuan asked himself self-deprecatingly.
……
Back at the pawnshop, Xuanyuan first went to the basement to inform Lan that the time with Han Lao was approaching.
After all, staying underground for a long time, the concept of time is not very strong, and Lan is not like humans, who need to eat to replenish energy, and do not need to sleep or meditate to restore mental power, so they don't pay much attention to the concept of time.
In the afternoon, there were a few scattered customers in the pawnshop, some of them were things, and some of them came to see the pawns that could be sold, but the kind of good luck did not appear before they were tired to death, after all, there was such a thing as a spiritual weapon, and what they wanted was not known to Xuanyuan alone, and what ordinary people could get, unless it was extremely lucky, it was generally just some antiques.
In order to prepare in advance, Xuanyuan closed early today, and before the sun set, Xuanyuan hung up the sign early, tightened the doors and windows, and began to meditate.
If you want to assist a soothsayer in his divination, it is not enough to rely on strong strength, but also to have a strong mindset. If the helper is too emotional, divination will be more difficult. Therefore, what Xuanyuan has to do is to stabilize his mind and calm down first, so that he can assist Han Lao to the greatest extent.
……
"Shopkeeper Xuanyuan, are you ready?" I don't know how long I meditated, and Han Lao's voice came from outside the store. By this time it was already dark.
"It's ready, Elder Han wait a while, we'll set off immediately." Xuanyuan arrived, and hurriedly turned around and entered the secret passage to find the blue.
Because Lan has completely refined the Purple Gold Gathering Spirit Ding, no matter what the reason is, if you want to use this Ding, you must have the urging of Lan, so this operation must also take Lan forward.
"Xuanyuan, is the time come?" Lan asked, at this time, he was constantly familiarizing himself with the ability and role of the Purple Gold Gathering Spirit Ding.
"Well, let's go, don't let Han Lao wait in a hurry." Regulus replied.
"Condensation!" The blue floated from the ding, and at the same time urged the ding to change back into the shape of an incense burner.
With the incense burner that Lan was hiding, Xuanyuan opened the door and went out of the store, and saw Han Lao, who was still dressed in plain clothes and had a cane.
"Han Lao has been waiting for a long time, let's go now." Lan Xuanyuan smiled at Han Lao and arched his hand.
"Shopkeeper Xuanyuan, it seems that you have found a more suitable formation, if this is the case, it will save a lot of things." Han Lao laughed.
"Old Han, after you left that day, I was lucky enough to get a treasure tripod, which is just right to use as the eye of the array this time." Xuanyuan didn't hide anything. After all, lying in front of a soothsayer is not a wise choice.
"The shopkeeper of Xuanyuan doesn't need to be suspicious, the old man saw that you looked quite good, and he didn't have the look of distress that day because he couldn't find the formation eye. In addition, according to the old man's understanding of you, if you didn't find the formation eye, you would definitely not be like this, but sighed bitterly to the old man again and said something right. That's why the old man concluded that you had found a more suitable formation. Han Lao laughed. It was determined that Xuanyuan had a suitable formation, and this operation was a lot more certain.
"Old Han said with a smile, I naturally understand that you will not use the power of divination and prophecy in such a trivial matter." Regulus arrived. "In that case, let's go."
"Okay." Han Lao returned, then turned around and walked towards the city gate on crutches.
At this moment, Han Lao looks more like an ordinary old man in his last years, unless someone is here to deliberately detect Han Lao himself, it is difficult to find the strange aura around Han Lao.
Diviners, in this world, are even rarer than onmyoji. First, because the ability of divination and prophecy is too difficult to master, it is difficult for ordinary practitioners to find the method without inheritance or guidance, and secondly, because the diviner has to meditate on the changes of heaven and earth, secretly conform to the principles of heaven and earth, and seize the creation of heaven and earth, so he cannot cultivate a huge aura or a strong body, otherwise he will die because of the curse of heaven.
Since it is impossible to cultivate excessively, that is to say, once a cultivator enters the hall, it is difficult for him to re-cultivate as a fortune teller. Moreover, even if there was such an opportunity, ordinary cultivators were not willing to risk the loss of their cultivation in exchange for the path of a soothsayer who might not be successful. In addition, not being able to cultivate means that soothsayers cannot prolong their lives and live longer by virtue of cultivation like those cultivators, so the number of soothsayers who have survived is indeed very small.
The most powerful soothsayer that Xuanyuan knew was probably the national master of the Ming Kingdom, a soothsayer at the peak of the sixth order. Before the third order, a soothsayer cannot use a suffix as a teacher, and can only call himself a linguist. However, once the soothsayer surpasses the sixth order and reaches the seventh order, he will be honored as a prophet, and that is an existence that can really change his life against the heavens and seize the heavens.
Therefore, Han Lao in front of him, as a fifth-order soothsayer, seems to be of a low rank, but in fact, he is already a master in the divination lineage.
Because this fashion was in Xicheng, Han Lao couldn't speed up his pace, so Xuanyuan had to accompany Han Lao to walk slowly to the city gate.
The city gate was approaching, and he was greeted by two guards standing guard, one of whom saw him and the two coming, and greeted Han Lao very politely: "Han Lao, it's so late, do you still want to go out of the city?"
Although Han Lao is a soothsayer, he is very kind on weekdays, and he does not hide his identity like Xuanyuan, so he is very respected in Xicheng.
"Yes, I have an urgent matter to visit an old friend outside the city, and there will be curfew in half an hour, so I can only leave now." Han Lao replied.
"Then Han Lao is careful all the way." Another guard said to Han Lao. Xi is not a city where princes and nobles are located, nor is it a frontier town, so although there are guards, there are no procedures or checks for leaving the city.
Out of the city gate and to a place where no one was around, Han Lao stopped.
"Shopkeeper Xuanyuan, accompany me an old man to go like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach dawn, you might as well use some magic powers now." Han Lao smiled slightly.
