Chapter 20: Hexagrams

The spring is cold, and the frost kills the young.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the lively atmosphere brought by the festival gradually faded, and the people also returned to a calm ordinary life and began to work normally, but for some reason, the news that Dahua broke through the East Island and Yingzhou was included in the territory spread far and wide, making people have some long-lost excitement and expectations in a hesitant mood.

You know, this is the immortal achievement of opening up the territory, since the founding of the Dahua Dynasty, there has never been an emperor who has such an achievement, that is, all dynasties, such a feat is also rare, if the news is true, then Emperor Yang can become the first person after the founding of the Dahua Dynasty, except for Emperor Wu of the founding of the Dynasty!

As the biggest quadripartite threat in the Central Plains, although the East Island is not very large in terms of power or scope, it is across the sea from Dahua, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus there is a master of the Grandmaster Realm who is called the God Killer on the East Island, even so if it can break through the East Island and include it in Dahua, it can definitely be called a world-class achievement.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, a piece of paper came from the imperial city, which really announced the matter to the world, which could be regarded as satisfying the curiosity of the people.

For a while, although the people were very shocked, but soon fell into an atmosphere of excitement and happiness, such news is indeed exciting, so there are all kinds of organizations and forces throughout the country, to celebrate, organize parades, in order to praise the achievements of Emperor Yang, and then in such an atmosphere, the second list of texts came from the imperial city, announcing that the ceremony of worshiping ancestors and worshipping the sky will be carried out in the near future, and the whole country will reduce taxes and amnesty the world!

However, most of the joyful atmosphere is concentrated in the city-state, such as the towns and villages in the remote courtyard area, and they are more still thinking about how to continue their lives, and for such things, at most, they just listen to them, but they don't care much, and some people don't even know what the East Island is and where it is.

In Yanzhou, at the foot of Lingque Mountain, there is a kind of village, called a small wine village, there are more than a dozen families in the village, every family makes a living from winemaking, works hard every day, is self-sufficient, and lives a full life.

Ordinary people like them are such beings.

At this time, an old man with a tall posture, broad shoulders and broad body, but with a white beard and white hair, was walking out of the village, carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, and he didn't know if there were any fish in the fish basket behind his waist, but seeing the few wine jugs he was carrying in one hand, he knew that he was someone who had come to buy wine from another small wine village.

The old man's face was calm, but with a little gloom, as if he had something on his mind, and when he reached the entrance of the village, he was attracted by a fortune-telling stall at the entrance of the village.

The stall is an ordinary stall, and the fortune teller is also an ordinary fortune teller, the old man often comes to the small wine village to drink, but it is the first time to see this person, but the two-sided cloth banner on the bamboo pole behind the fortune teller is really eye-catching.

"Passing by is hard to hear the truth, a pinch of gold and a pinch of sand?"

I read it a few times in my mouth, but the old man chuckled, it just so happened that there were some things in my heart, which made people think about it day and night, so you might as well ask a hexagram here, whether it is true or not, it can be regarded as asking for peace of mind.

Thinking so, the old man had already walked to the stall and sat down, the owner of the stall was a middle-aged man, who had been dozing off, and it seemed that the business in the village was indeed not very good.

Hearing the voice, the fortune teller opened his eyes and saw the old man in front of him with wide shoulders and broad back, and full of energy, but he secretly admired.

"What are you asking for, old man?"

The two-sided banners behind him were so atmospheric, but he didn't expect to open his mouth but it was still cliché, which made the old man a little disappointed, but since he had already sat down, he might as well listen to it and talk about it.

"This gentleman, I don't know who wrote the words on the two flags behind him?"

Hearing the old man's question, the fortune teller did not look back, but laughed.

It was written by the contemptible people, so that the old gentleman smiled, this banner was originally just used to attract customers, bluffing, but most of the people in the mountain villages are illiterate, and they write in vain, but it is useless. ”

Hearing what the other party said, he didn't even intend to hide it at all, but the old man was stunned, if it was someone else, he would have to brag about it, and he couldn't say all the good things to show his ability, but the person in front of him didn't have this kind of empty and exaggerated atmosphere at all, although he seemed to say that he was very ordinary, and the old man couldn't look down on the other party.

"Dare to ask Mr. Gao's surname?" the old man arched his hand, looking very solemn.

"In the next surname Jiang, there is a nickname called Tiekou Broken Gold, I don't know if the old gentleman has heard of it?"

The fortune teller smiled slightly, and his eyes suddenly became bright and bright, and it really gave people an unfathomable feeling.

The old man shook his head, it is true that he has never heard such a nickname in the rivers and lakes, but speaking of which, ordinary fortune tellers usually regard themselves as the same as those who read books, and never use words like jokes like nicknames, so it can be seen that the person in front of him is really a little different.

"It doesn't matter. The fortune teller seems to be very free, even if the other party doesn't know himself, he doesn't seem to care, "Life and death have fate, wealth is in the sky, like me and other ordinary people, the name is just a code name, it doesn't matter if you don't listen to it, since the old gentleman has a request in his heart, let's get back to business." ”

While talking, the fortune teller changed into a serious face, and suddenly became serious, and the old man saw it, so he also nodded.

"Actually, the old man only has a few relatives and will go home in the near future, but the return date is undecided, but the old man is always a little restless, I don't know if the husband can solve it, comfort my peace of mind?"

"I see, it's simple!" the fortune teller smiled slightly, looking calm and calm, "Since it's just an ordinary little thing, you might as well use the ordinary method." ”

As he spoke, the fortune teller had taken out a round bamboo tube from under the table, and inside the bamboo tube was filled with many sticks, which at first glance were almost identical.

Looking at the bamboo tube in front of his eyes, the old man hesitated slightly, but still stretched out his hand and pressed it on a hexagram stick.

At this time, the fortune teller's eyes suddenly became cold.

The old man pinched the end of the skewer and was about to take it out, but at this time, he suddenly heard a sharp birdsong in the sky, but he let go of his hand again!

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, my relatives have returned home, and it seems that they are no longer needed!"

As he spoke, the old man got up from his seat, took out two more coins from his waist, pressed them on the table, and then turned to leave, and then disappeared outside the village.

The fortune teller looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the two coins on the table, his face was dark, but he sighed.

"Is it really not necessary?"

After that, the fortune teller suddenly raised his hand, accurately found the stick held by the old man, and flicked his fingers, and saw that the stick flew out instantly, reversed a few times in mid-air, and was inserted in the money eye with a snap!

Down!

The blue bird sings back, the white bird sings away, every single is auspicious, every double is fierce!
