Chapter 1: Yin and Yang Dead
One luck, two lives, three feng shui,
Good luck is not as good as luck.
Tibetan wind and water gather dragon energy,
Seeking the yang and the yin can be used to find the arts.
-- General outline of the dragon hunt
The west gate of Xiamen University, outside South Putuo, people come and go, under a not very conspicuous tree, a small table is covered with a brocade yellow cloth, and the front is engraved with gossip, and the horizontal batch reads: Liu Bowen's descendants, three trigrams a day. On the left it is written: Good fate is better than good luck, and on the right it is written: Iron mouth dictates good fortune and misfortune.
Behind the table, there was an old man with white hair and long beard, wearing a black and yellow Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist robe with the same black edges, but with a pair of sunglasses, which was nondescript, but the sunglasses were pulled under the bridge of his nose, his head was slightly lowered, and his bright eyes looked at the passers-by, like an eagle hunting for food.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the old man sighed secretly and said, "Alas...... Damn chengguan, is it easy for my old man to stand up to the sun? chased me for a few blocks and forced me to this corner where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs. I can only nibble on instant noodles when I go back today! Muttering one last glance at the empty street in front of him, he got up and prepared to close the stall.
As soon as the folding chair was put away, there was a man in his fifties who was dressed in black and Tang costume, not tall, with a flower on his head, who appeared out of nowhere at this time, walked to the folding stool in front of the stall, and glanced at the old man and sat down calmly.
When the old man saw the customer coming to the door, he hurriedly sat down indifferently with a smile on his face. Facing the person in front of him, he opened his mouth and asked, "Look at the fortune telling, or divination to ask about the future?" The old man's voice revealed a strangeness.
The man in black said coldly: "Look at the fortune telling, don't smash your hexagram stall." ”
"The old man has been divining his face all his life, and he is not allowed to accept hexagrams." As he spoke, he held his long beard and shook his head and looked at the man in black.
Suddenly, a short, thin boy with sharp-beaked monkey gills, about twenty years old, and one meter six or seven, trotted all the way, and rushed to the hexagram stall with a pennant in his hand. With an excited face, he shouted at the old man, "Oops...... Finally found Liu Banxian, you helped our boss calculate a hexagram yesterday, which was really accurate, and let our boss avoid a bloody disaster.
Today our boss sent a lot of people to look for your boss, my little monkey is blessed to find you, this is the pennant sent by our boss, this is 10,000 yuan of thank you, please accept it, I will go back and report to the boss. With that, spread the pennant on the table and put down the bulging red envelope.
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to object, and he really wanted to say something, but the little monkey ignored the old man's reaction, ran away, and disappeared into the crowd.
The old man shouted into the crowd, "Hey...... Young man, this money can't be collected by the old man......"
The man in black looked at the pennant in front of him, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he saw that the pennant read: Thank you Liu Banxian, for saving your life.
Seeing the young man disappear into the crowd, the old man sat down helplessly, carefully put away the pennant, and sighed as he collected it: "Alas...... The old man entered the WTO, three trigrams a day, for self-cultivation, where is it for this money! With that, he stuffed the pennant into the package.
The man in black looked at the old man coldly, silently, as if he was watching a play, and as if he was waiting for the old man to show him......
"Ahem...... cough ......" The old man coughed twice, took off his sunglasses, stared at the face of the man in black, and looked twice. Suddenly, his brows furrowed more and more, and he reached out and grabbed the hands of the man in black and looked at them carefully.
The man in black let the old man grab his hand and look at it over and over again, but the old man looked at his face and then at his hands, but he was puzzled. The old man got up slowly, pinched his handprints with both hands, pressed them on his eyes, and slowly withdrew his hands. At this time, when you look at the old man's eyes, you will find that there is a faint flash of light in the old man's eyes.
The man in black, who had been unmoved, was looked at by the old man like this, but his whole body trembled secretly, and his frightened eyes flashed away.
The light in the old man's eyes didn't last long, it only lasted for a few breaths, and the old man fell to the chair with a pale face. He muttered in disbelief: "Yintang's five dark lines, you can't live more than fifty, black dark lines, obviously dead, why, why ......"
Halfway through the old man's words, he suddenly grabbed the hand of the man in black again, looked at it, and muttered: "The life pattern has exceeded a hundred, and the age has exceeded a hundred?" How is this possible, Yin and Yang people, it's impossible......" Suddenly quickly took out a silk book that looked very old from the treasure bag, this book looked a little old, and opened it densely written with incomprehensible texts, like the golden text of the Warring States Period......
The old man quickly flipped through the pages of the cloth book, turned to a page and stopped to look at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled, as if he had forgotten everything around him......
"Bang ......" With the muffled sound of knocking on the table, the old man woke up from the world of the book, and looked up sharply to see the little monkey looking at him with a strange expression.
"I said little brother, what are you doing, everyone is gone, what kind of nerves are you making, finally a fat sheep came, but you are nervous, and I have no money to share, you treat yourself at night, and if you have no income, we will starve to death." The little monkey slapped the table unhappily.
Looking at the old man's pale face, the little monkey reproached: "Little brother, you automatically opened your eyes again, that skill is too unreliable." And the time is not good, and you can't do it so hard! It's a big deal that we eat instant noodles and can still support it for a day......"
The old man put away the folding chair neatly, but when he was packing up the pennant, he was stunned, an ancient book exactly the same as what he had just read appeared on it, he hurriedly picked it up, and stretched out the same book in his hand to the side in confusion.
Now the old man couldn't calm down anymore, and the first time he saw this book, he was puzzled how the "dragon hunting trick" that he never left could run across the table. Seeing two identical books, he looked around in shock. But I saw that the sun had set, the sky was getting dark, and the crowd of people slowly dispersed.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you today, you can't give up?" The little monkey patted the old man on the shoulder, making the old man feel excited, and realized that everything just now didn't seem to be a dream, but everything was too unreal.
"Monkey, close the stall quickly, go back and talk about ......" The old man's voice suddenly became not old, he turned around and quickly took off his robe, stuffed it into the bag next to him, and when he turned around, he turned into an inferior sportswear, with an inch head, gray eyebrows are missing, except for a slightly wrinkled face, he can't see his age, but it won't be too big.
"Liu Xiaoge, what's going on?" The little monkey asked in confusion as he helped clean up.
This young man named Liu Xiaoge, after packing up his things without saying a word, he strode away, Nanputuo was very close to Xia Da, and after a while, the two of them returned to the bedroom, and after the first time they finished washing, a handsome face was revealed, this person was only in his early twenties, and the old man just now looked like he was dressed up.
It turned out that Liu Xiaoge, born in a small village in Wencheng, was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child, his grandfather was a professional folk Taoist priest, praying for blessings, looking at feng shui cemeteries, seeing a doctor and choosing the time to settle down, proficient in everything, can be described as an all-round Taoist, and he is very famous in ten miles and eight towns. According to the grandfather, they are the descendants of Liu Bowen, but unfortunately there is no genealogy to prove it. So there is no difference between the style of acting and the charlatan claiming to be, when Liu Xiaoge was in junior high school, his grandfather fought with people for some reason, and soon passed away, leaving behind an ancestral dragon hunting recipe and a peach wood sword, this sword has a bull name, called the dragon sword.
There is no way, Liu Xiaoge, who became an orphan, relied on his grandfather's childhood teachings and the spiritual eye that had been passed down from generation to generation for him when he was dying, and with the help of his father and fellow villagers, and the spiritual eye that was not working at this time, he became a little heavenly master near the mountain village.
It's a pity that the records on the dragon hunt are all the golden texts of the Warring States Period, and his grandfather went early, he didn't learn all at all, and he said that he was a Taoist priest, but in fact, he didn't know much about it, which made him decide to study the ancient literature department.
After being admitted to the Department of Archaeology of Xia University, in this big city, no one knew about him Liu Xiaoge, so in order to make a living, in order to continue studying, he often partnered with his roommate Little Monkey and set up stalls on the street to "deceive people" to make money.
"Little brother, don't be in a daze with that broken book, what happened?" The little monkey was confused, and couldn't help it, so he had to ask again.
"Hahaha...... Haha......"
Suddenly, a series of laughter frightened the little monkey to jump away, looking at Liu Xiaoge, who was laughing with an ancient book, and said: "Little brother, don't scare me, you won't be evil!" Isn't it crazy? "Take out your phone and press 120 quickly.
Liu Xiaoge slapped his palm on the little monkey's head, and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, tell you right away." ”
"You girl, can't you be normal? Laugh again, laugh again and dial 110. ”
Liu Xiaoge flew the silk book in his hand and said with a smile: "Do you know what this is?" ”
"How do I know, if there is something to say, there is a fart to let go." The little monkey doesn't have a good airway.
"This is the original book of the dragon hunting recipe that our Liu family has been looking for for countless generations and can't find the dragon yin recipe, specifically looking for the dragon point." This kind of happiness made Liu Xiaoge forget about what happened today, which was unreasonable. also made him forget the man in black, so that his spiritual eyes couldn't see through his face.
The little monkey was not interested in this, touched his stomach, drooped his head, and said in frustration: "What is the dragon point, I don't know, I just want you to order a meal now, I only ate one instant noodle today, we have been eating instant noodles for many days in a row, and I want to ......vomit when I see instant noodles now."
"Monkey, I'm happy today, master, let's go eat the sea sky." Liu Xiaoge happily pulled up the little monkey and was about to walk out.
"Pull it down, you don't have enough money for 20 yuan, you can't eat enough to fly in the sky, you can't run enough to run on the ground with a claw, you don't swim enough in the sea to have a scale, if you don't think about it, we'll run out of food, let's keep it and buy instant noodles!." The little monkey counted his fingers, embarrassed a face, and knocked off Liu Xiaogela's hand.
Liu Xiaoge glanced at the little monkey, lay down on the bed, and said with a wry smile, "Can't you let me think about it?" I've eaten instant noodles for almost a summer vacation. ”
"Little brother, aren't you known as the Little Heavenly Master? How many days have it been, why hasn't anyone looked for you to look at your face and tell fortunes? The little monkey quipped, disdainfully.
These words seemed to hit Liu Xiaoge, the death hole, he got up with a wheel, grabbed the little monkey's neck and said: "You are embarrassed to say, the day before yesterday you rushed out and hit someone, how much did you say you lost to others?" Yesterday you rushed out and finished speaking, and then squatted there and laughed, and today you came out with a dirty pennant, and you can't wash it clean? ”
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
The little monkey coughed with a flushed face, and the whites of his eyes rolled before he collapsed on the bed......
Liu Xiaoge patted the little monkey's thigh, and said angrily: "Okay, don't make trouble, tomorrow I will go to the street alone, or not talk about the tuition fees for the next semester, or we will all starve to death, have you heard of starving college students?" ”
The little monkey jumped up flexibly and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't worry, it's really not good, I'll open my mouth to my adoptive father." Isn't there still some time left for summer vacation? I agreed with a restaurant that I would go to work tomorrow and I would still be able to serve the plates, and if I didn't destroy it, maybe you could slaughter a fat sheep, and we would have everything. ”
"One man, two brothers. There's always a way......" Liu Xiaoge stepped forward and hugged the little monkey's arm, his eyes slightly moist......
