Chapter 560: The Wild Land (Fourth Update)
Thinking of this, I hurriedly gathered my yang energy and looked at the stall owner.
However, to my surprise and surprise, the owner of that strange stall did not have yin qi on his body, nor did he have corpse qi and evil qi. What he had in him was yang, a very faint yang, and the little yang energy emanating from the stall owner immediately made me judge that the person who was setting up a stall on the side of the road in front of him was probably an old man who was over the age of six.
Out of curiosity, I walked over to the old man's stall .......
When I walked to the front of the old man's stall, I found that the stall was actually a booth dedicated to measuring people's characters, and the stall owner sitting opposite the stall owner was a white-haired old lady who seemed to be at least seventy or eighty years old.
There was a very small table in front of the stall, and I saw a sign standing next to her table with eight crooked black letters:
"Three words are measured every day, and every word is worth a thousand gold."
When the old lady saw someone walking to her stall, she slowly raised her head and looked at me, and suddenly, she looked at me with a twinkle in her cloudy eyes, and then asked me:
"Young man, did you come to me to calculate fortune or future?"
I shook my head slightly and said:
"Neither."
"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, young man, you seem to be looking for something, or inquiring about a place that is hard to find. The old lady looked at me with a kind face and asked.
With just one word, I knew that the old woman I met today was not simple, if it weren't for her blind cat and dead mouse, this old lady was indeed a master.
I touched my nose and looked at her and continued:
"I'm sure I'm looking for a place, old lady, but how do you know that?"
When the old lady heard my words, she laughed with satisfaction, tightened her somewhat loose coat and said no more.
But I was in a hurry, and I couldn't help but ask again:
"Old lady, do you know what the place I am looking for is?"
After hearing my words, the old lady continued to say to me:
"Young man, don't be in a hurry, I don't think it's as good as this, you write a random word on this piece of paper, and I'll test it for you first."
I laughed and said:
"Your words are worth a thousand gold, I'm afraid I can't measure it."
"Although there are a lot of daughters, but there is no more fate, I see that your kid has some fate with me, and I don't charge money to help you test the word." The old lady said, placing a piece of paper and pen on the table and pushing it in front of me.
Paper is rice paper, and pen is a brush.
Looking at the paper and pen on the table, I thought I would give it a try, so I took a step closer, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and without thinking about it, I wrote the word "An" directly on the yellowed rice paper.
When the old lady saw the word "An" written on the rice paper, her brows furrowed, and after looking at it for a while, she said to me:
"Young man, this word is An, just on the outside and soft on the inside, with a sense of anxiety between the lines, it seems to be peaceful, but it is not peaceful at all, the top is a treasure, and the bottom is a woman, so the person who makes you feel uneasy must be a woman." The old lady said to me seriously.
When I heard what she said, I was shocked, this ...... Let her be right again! Indeed, the person who has always disturbed me is the Sect Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Hongyan, and she is a woman.
Could it be that this old lady is still some kind of outdoor seclusion? Looking at her, I suddenly thought of the old lady who sat on the side of the road in the fishing village and was "grinding needles" with an iron pestle, and I didn't care too much about the appearance of the old lady before. Who is this mysterious old lady? Why did she help me again and again?
"Also, from the word 'An' you just wrote, I also see that your journey to find another place will definitely be full of disasters, and even bloody disasters." The old lady looked at me anxiously and continued.
I asked, "How so?" ”
The old lady looked at me and continued:
"Measure words and test words, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not. By the way, today I can not only see that you are in trouble, but even know where the place you are looking for is. ”
I was a little skeptical and asked:
"Tell me where the place I'm going to look for is?"
The old lady blurted out to me:
"You're going to the wild land of the Southern Barbarians, and I happen to know the route to the wild land of the Southern Barbarians."
When I heard the old lady's words, I was shocked, and hurriedly spoke:
"I still hope that the old-timers will give advice."
The old lady looked at me and nodded slightly, and continued:
"Not only is the Savage Land of the Southern Barbarians far away from this place, but there is also a huge desert on the way to the Wild Land of the Southern Barbarians, so there are very few people who go there, and even fewer people know about that place."
"What the hell is going to do in the wilderness?" I'm starting to get a little anxious, because it's about whether I can find Luohe Shenshui and Rushuang if they can be reborn as humans, as well as the scars on Zhao Man's face.
"I've got a map here with the route to the wild land, and I've got it for you." As she spoke, the old lady took out a crumpled map from her body and handed it to me.
I took it, looked at it a few times, and then asked the old lady:
"Senior, you gave it to me?"
"Yes, I gave it to you, I see that your kid and the old woman also have some fate, and I will give you a broken map that I can't use." The old lady looked at me and nodded.
"Thank you seniors for your help." I said with one hand on my chest, my chest bowed, and I made a Taoist gift to the old lady in front of me.
"That's it, where did you get so many courtesies at such a young age, get the map and go back and prepare quickly, but I have something to remind you before you go." The old lady looked at me and said.
I nodded: "Senior, you say, I listen." ”
"Although I haven't been to that wild place, but I know something about the desert in the middle, if you want to go through that desert, you must remember three sentences, otherwise, even if you are a Taoist master, you will definitely not be able to step out of that desert!" The old lady looked at me with a very serious expression.
I nodded and asked:
"I'll be careful, what are those three sentences from my predecessors?"
The old lady looked at me meaningfully and said:
"Listen well: don't walk on the road during the day, be careful when you walk at night, walk ten steps and turn back. Do you remember these three sentences? ”
I first recited the three words that the old lady had just said to me silently, and then I took them to heart, and then I nodded and said:
"I've memorized all my predecessors, but I want to ask you one thing, was it you who 'sharpened the pestle into a needle' in the fishing village last time?"
"Remember to go back, it's cold at night, be careful if you catch a cold." The old lady didn't answer my question, and it seemed that she didn't want to say.
"What about you?" I asked.
"I'll have to sit here for a while, and the guests will be here in a moment." The old lady said.
"Guests? Is anyone still coming at such a late hour? "I don't understand.
The old lady smiled and said nothing, and I did not bother to ask more, so after taking her farewell, I hurried back with the map she had given me that led to the wild land of the South.
When I returned to the fat man's house, the fat man was still sitting on the sofa in the living room watching cartoons, and when he heard the door open, he turned to me and asked:
"Senior brother, why are you here so soon? This gray wolf hasn't caught Xiyangyang yet. ”
I glanced at the fat man and said:
"Okay fatty, don't make a fuss yet, you come and show me this map, let's study it, and strive to set out tomorrow to go to that wild land."
When the fat man heard my words, he sat up from the sofa, walked over, looked at me and asked:
"Senior brother, what are you letting me see?"
I took out the map and said to the fat man:
"This map, you can help me see where it ends now."
The fat man agreed, took the map from my hand, and then went back to the room and opened the map on the computer, and began to check it.
I sat beside the fat man and watched, and after a long while, the fat man turned to me with a puzzled face and said:
"Senior brother, what's wrong with this, this map......"
