Chapter Seventy-Four: A Pickle of Gold and a Pickle of Sand
The town guard of the border town is surnamed He, the town guard has been doing it for more than 40 years, and it is said that there are only two soldiers in the entire town guard mansion, and there are indeed many empty places, so He Zhenshou also gladly accepted the request of Lin Qi and others.

The town is not big, and the town guard mansion is not far away, just a few steps away, and you will be there.
Everyone made a carriage all the way, and suffered all the bumps, and at this time they were more willing to get out of the carriage and walk a few steps. A few people walked behind He Zhenshou, observing the people here, and the carriage was handed over to Yuan Bao and given to the back.
Lin Qi found that everyone was walking with the town guards in time, and the surrounding townspeople were also avoiding themselves intentionally or unintentionally, looking at their cautious appearance and slightly repulsive eyes, all of which made Lin Qi feel very puzzled.
"Don't be careful, it's been like this recently, it's not just for you!" He Zhenshou seemed to be surprised by Lin Qi's heart, so he explained casually.
"Lord Zhenshou, has something happened recently?" Lin Qi could hear the unusual place in He Zhenshou's words.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, recently there is a living god in the town, he told us that soon, there will be a disaster in the town, let us prepare early, so during this time, as long as the people in the town see outsiders, they will always regard them as the ones who bring disaster, so I will keep you for one night, and after tonight, you can leave as soon as possible." ”
Listening to the words of the town guard, Lin Qi and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what kind of person can make the people of a town believe what he said so much, but the disaster in his mouth is somewhat consistent with the purpose of everyone coming here.
"Living immortals, isn't it some kind of charlatan?" Ma Zhanpeng has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of three religions and nine streams, so he thought of this for the first time.
Hearing Ma Fatzi's words, He Zhenshou suddenly stopped, glanced at him with his back hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if mocking.
"Young man, remember that trouble comes from the mouth, in this world, there are many unfathomable masters, if you don't keep your mouth shut, it is easy to get into trouble!"
"Old man, I'm not afraid that you will be deceived, I can see this kind of person a lot, as the so-called real gold is not afraid of fire, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it, if you have the ability, you will lead me gradually This master, let his grandfather Ma also open his eyes!"
Don't look at Ma Zhanpeng's usual life, he always looks heartless, but he hates being underestimated the most in his life, and his temper comes up.
"Lord Zhenshou, this friend of mine is straightforward, but his heart is not bad, he is also afraid that everyone will be deceived, please don't blame him. ”
Seeing that He Zhenshou's face changed, Lin Qi hurriedly pulled Ma Zhanpeng and explained to He Zhenshou for him, at this time, He Zhenshou groaned and nodded.
"Come with me, whether you can be guided by the living gods or not depends on your creation. ”
After speaking, He Zhenshou turned around and left, and everyone looked at each other and followed him.
Turning the corner of the street, the houses on both sides of the road were even more sparse, Taishou stopped here, pointed ahead, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that not far from the street, there was a table, and there was a bamboo pole standing next to the table, and at the top of the bamboo pole, there were two flags hanging on both sides.
Seeing this scene, the fat man immediately laughed.
"This living immortal, just such a little pretentious? I really want to be an uncle, I'm blind!"
After speaking, Ma Zhanpeng held his head high and was the first to step forward, Lin Qi was afraid that he would cause trouble for no reason, so he felt that he was following behind.
In front of the table, there was no stool, and behind the table, a middle-aged man sit.
The man was dressed ordinarily, and at first glance he thought he was a passerby, but I saw that his face was dark, his lips were clean and clean, his beard was not renewed, his temperament was not obvious, and he sat on a side with stilted legs, without any tall figure. He was reading a book in his hand at this time.
"Hey, master, there's no stool or anything, what is Lao Tzu doing?" At this time, Ma Fatzi believed that the other party was the kind of warlock who deceived people on the rivers and lakes, and his momentum was even more arrogant at this time.
The middle-aged man did not speak, but pointed to the top of his head with the fingers of his hand.
Everyone looked up and saw a line written on the banner above their heads, "Passing by is difficult to hear the truth."
"Heh, are you so capable? Listen to your words, how much does it cost?"
The middle-aged man still didn't speak, and pointed to the other side of the banner.
The people looked up again, and now the breeze blew, and the flags were raised, and the setting sun sprinkled on the flags, shining with golden light.
"A pinch of gold and a pinch of sand!What do you mean?"
Ma Fatzi was a little impatient, what annoyed him the most was that these charlatans chattered and pretended to be a gesture, but in order to expose the other party's true face, he still chose to resist the urge to flip the other party's table.
At this time, the middle-aged man finally raised his head, he glanced at the fat man and smiled slightly.
"People passing by are blessed and difficult, so why don't I take a sip, but the gold is honest but the heart is not sincere, what is the difference between it and the yellow sand?"
Ma Zhanpeng was stunned for a moment.
"You don't want money?"
"I don't want money. ”
Seeing that the other party didn't want money, Ma Zhanpeng was confused, could it be that the other party wanted to catch the old and indulge and put a long line to catch a big fish?
"Since you don't want money, then let me do the math?"
Unexpectedly, after Ma Zhanpeng finished speaking, the middle-aged man shook his head with a smile!
Ma Zhanpeng felt that he had been tricked, and he was immediately annoyed, and he stepped forward to lift the table, but was pulled by Lin Qi beside him.
"What do you call this gentleman?"
"If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, you can count it in Xiajiang!"
"Why doesn't Mr. Jiang count?"
"If you are not sincere, it will be in vain. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but nodded, these people originally came to expose the authenticity of the other party, no matter whether the other party was right or wrong, they had already preconceived, this Jiang Yi can see through this, I have to say, there are still some doorways.
"Can that gentleman do the math for me?" Lin Qi asked again.
"No, the time has not come, and it will be in vain. ”
After speaking, Jiang Yishu lowered his head again, and looked at the book again, as if the things around him were not as important as the book in his hand.
Although Jiang Yisuan's words obviously seemed to be perfunctory, Lin Qi always felt that he meant something.
"Don't pull me, this product is a liar, I can't smash his stall, look at how he still swears people!" Seeing that Ma Zhanpeng was about to run away, Lin Qi still stood in front of him and pushed him away.
"Okay, okay, Brother Ma, we're here for more important things, don't make trouble. ”
After saying that Ma Zhanpeng was finally persuaded to leave, everyone was about to leave, but at this time, Jiang Yisuan spoke again.
"This young lady, take a slow step. ”
The person in his mouth is Hua Qiyuan.
"Why, what's the matter with this gentleman, I don't believe you fortune tellers!"
Hua Qiyuan's eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, and she smiled charmingly, Jiang Yishu saw it in her eyes, but she was indifferent.
"This young lady, you will have a bloody disaster in the near future, please pay more attention. ”
Hua Qiyuan was suddenly stunned, and was a little annoyed, but after Jiang Yishu finished speaking, he lowered his head again, as if he was just stating a fact, hearing his words, Ma Zhanpeng pointed at Hua Qiyuan instead, and laughed.
