Chapter 496: Tricking Immortals
Xue Qian listened attentively, and asked at this time, "Mr. Lu, if we meet this kind of person." What to do? ”
The corners of Mr. Lu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Run, run as fast as you can." ”
Xue Qian asked: "People are so capable, even if we escape, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape, right?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "If he really wants to kill you, you will naturally not be able to escape." But if he was a little lazy that day and didn't bother to take care of you, wouldn't you just pick up a life? ”
Xue Qian nodded and said, "The affairs of the Taoist priests are really too dangerous, fortunately, I don't have an apprenticeship, so I can stay out of it." Xue Qian looked at me gloating as she said this.
I smiled and said, "Old Xue." Don't laugh at me. Zhong Kui behind you hasn't been solved yet. ”
Xue Qian immediately wilted. said: "Yes, what should I do with this Zhong Kui?" ”
Mr. Lu yawned and said, "It's not early, let's rest for a while, and when we wake up, we will go to the remnant immortal to tell your fortune." ”
Xue Qian and I were huddled on a broken bed. I closed my eyes and said, "Even if you two have a conscience this time, you didn't cheat me too hard." ”
Mr. Lu immediately swore and said, "Zhao Mang, don't worry, I'm too lazy to pit you now." This time it's just a cold for two days. There won't be any big problems, don't worry. ”
I nodded and asked, "Do you have any plans when you meet the remnant immortals?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "There is no plan. Just improvise and say as much as you can. For example, his origin, such as whether he harmed others. For example, why publish an obituary. ”
I said yes and looked at my watch, it was already early in the morning. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.
It's cold inside, so I'll sleep and wake up. Finally made it to dawn.
When the sun came out, I came out of the house. I didn't care about the dirt on the ground, so I sat directly on the side of the road, leaned against a big tree, and fell asleep in the sun.
I heard a noise of people around me, not counting people walking around me. A few people seem to be pointing fingers at me. But at this time, I can't care about that much.
When I had slept enough and opened my eyes, I found that Xue Qian and Mr. Lu were also outside the door, and the two of them were leaning against the wall, sleeping soundly in the sun.
After a while, they also woke up.
I said, "Why did you come to sleep outside?" ”
Mr. Lu complained: "Zhao Mang, what kind of broken house are you?" It's colder inside than outside, is this where people live? ”
I sneered: "Not where people live?" I've lived in this dilapidated house for almost a year, aren't you all hurting me? ”
Mr. Lu laughed twice: "This is all fate, I can't blame it." Maybe in the last life, you owed me two buckets of millet and didn't pay it back, so in this life, God punished you for being cheated by me as a debt. ”
I said, "You've cheated me so many times, it's enough for a mountain of rice." ”
While arguing, a few of us hurried to the remnant immortal's house. Halfway through, I received a call from Officer Shi.
Officer Shi asked me, "How's the situation?" ”
I replied, "We'll see tonight." Rest assured. ”
Officer Shi agreed, then told me to be safe, and hung up the phone.
The three of us walked into the courtyard and found a few old people with sick faces chatting. It was still early in the dark at this time. The remnant fairy and the boy stayed in the house, never showing up, and letting the people outside speak.
The three of us sat down in a corner, ignoring the others. Mr. Lu took out the charm, stuffed it in my arms, and instructed me, "Be careful to put it away, don't fall out, otherwise, things will be in trouble." ”
After giving me the charm, he took off the big knife from my back and said, "I will keep this knife for you first, so that no one will recognize it." ”
After sitting like this for a few hours, more and more people came. Gradually, the stools were filled.
Then, the little Taoist boy came out again. Like yesterday, he lit a red lantern. Then, we started to line up obediently. A few minutes later, the remnant immortal came out.
His eyes were blazing, and his eyes were shooting back and forth over us. I don't know why, but I felt like his eyes were magical. Seems to be able to see through people. I don't know why, but I suddenly became nervous.
I thought silently: No wonder these people are convinced of the remnant immortal, my eyes are probably really unusual.
I was thinking about this when I suddenly felt like everyone was looking at me. I thought to myself: What's going on?
Then I realized that the remnant immortal was pointing at me.
I nervously asked the people around me, "What did the remnant immortal say?" ”
The old man next to him couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and he said lightly: "The remnant immortal invites you to go in, and he wants to take a divination for you." ”
I suddenly remembered that yesterday's aunt came, and thought, should I squat on the ground and cry for a while at this time to look realistic? But it was so funny that I was worried that I hadn't cried yet, so I laughed first.
Immediately, I heard someone whispering not far away, "Poor young man, who is only in his twenties, is going to die." ”
Another person said, "Yes, you are our age, and you are sure that you will not be wronged if you die." But at his age...... Hey, do you see that? It scared the kids stupid. ”
I thought to myself: it turns out that my hesitant expression seems stupid to others. That's fine, I'll just play stupid.
At this time, Xiao Daotong spoke again: "Please come in, don't delay the hour." ”
I pretended to be strict and walked in. In his heart, he thought nervously: "If you take his words, don't forget to use his words." ”
I muttered and walked inside. It was found that there was a Taishi chair inside, and in front of the Taishi chair was a black table, and in front of the table was a stool.
The remnant fairy sat on the chair, leaning back in the chair, and looked at me calmly. And when I sat on the stool, I had to sit upright.
I sensibly took the initiative to take out the money and put it on the table. Those were two hundred-dollar bills. I'm not short of money right now, but that doesn't mean I like to spend lavishly. These two tickets were thrown on the table, and I felt a little painful.
The remnant immortal glanced over there and said lightly: "More is not too much, less is not too little." Apprentice, put away the money, buy enough firewood, rice, oil and salt for tomorrow, and donate the rest to the suffering people of Li in the world. ”
Dao Tong agreed, and took the two hundred yuan away. I thought to myself, "Does this remnant immortal really have the heart to help the world?" Or is it deliberately playing tricks in front of me? ”
The remnant immortal took a sip of tea and said, "Little brother doesn't look very old, but it's a pity, you know my rules, right?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes." Death is not life. The old fairy called me in, and I guess I won't live long. ”
The remnant immortal nodded and said, "I don't ask what your name is, and I don't ask you about your birthday." Just rely on a pair of fairy eyes to count your lifespan. ”
Then, he dragged a piece of paper, held a brush in his hand, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote a few words on the paper. Then, he handed me the piece of paper and said, "It's not too early, it's not too late." Heaven is like this, and there is no need to be sad. Hades let you die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch? Let's take care of the aftermath early. ”
I looked at the piece of paper, and it was all A, B, C, D, and the hour of Tatsumi noon, and I guess he was using an ancient method of timekeeping.
The remnant immortal said gently, "What? Can't read it? ”――
I nodded.
The remnant immortal took a sip of tea and said, "Find an old man and ask, and you will naturally understand." It's normal for a young person like you to not understand these hours. ”
I stared at the piece of paper, but I wondered in my heart, the remnant immortal had already finished counting my life, why didn't I give an eviction order?
I was thinking about it, when I suddenly heard the remnant immortal say, "It's a pity to die at such a young age." Young man, are you still satisfied with your life? ”
I wondered in my heart: What? Could it be that this remnant immortal still gives me pre-death counseling?
But since he asked, I answered honestly: "Not satisfied, not successful, not famous." In this life, there are still many regrets and many wishes. ”
Actually, it's not nonsense, if I take it seriously, I'm going to die. I'm sure that's the thought
