Chapter 20: The Little Fortune Teller
"Baili Peach Mountain, it is said to be a hundred miles, but it is only more than thirty miles. It is rumored that there was an immortal who came here twenty years ago and planted peach blossoms for twenty years, so there was this hundred miles of peach mountain that stretched for more than 30 miles, and I heard that when the peach blossoms bloomed for a hundred miles, this immortal would be born to save the world, and the woman who the immortal had been waiting for would also wake up from her slumber...... "A young man wearing a faded cotton scarf and a white-washed robe sat under the bridge and said, shaking his head and shaking his head to the two people in front of him.
At the foot of Peach Mountain, there is a small town named Peach Blossom.
Peach Blossom Town, with more than 10,000 people, is a very ordinary town. There is a road in the town, the only one where you can drive a horse-drawn carriage, and there is a small stone bridge on the side of the road, which crosses a river that is only a few feet long.
There is a bridge hole under the small stone bridge, and there is a more than ten zhang path along the river along the bridge hole, which is the place where the craftsmen of Peach Blossom Town usually sell some gadgets, and it is also the favorite place for children in the town.
Under the bridge and cave, there is a fortune teller here all the year round, according to the people here, this fortune teller is really a god, measuring good fortune and evil, counting fortune, just like a fairy, there is no time to say wrong.
And this fortune teller was sitting in front of Su Heng and Wujiang at this time, living like a big flicker, no, a little flicker. For no other reason, this fortune teller and Wujiang looked about the same age, just a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old.
"Do you know immortals?" The fortune teller opened his eyes, for fear that Su Heng and the others would not understand, shook up the ill-fitting Taoist robe on his body, and said with a clear look, "It is an immortal who can fly to the sky and the earth, one hand is a flying sword for a hundred miles, and a stamping foot is a landslide and the ground is cracking......"
Wujiang's face was a little strange, and he wanted to stop the little flickering saliva, and then tell him that the adult next to him who smiled very gently was the immortal in his mouth.
"Ahem, little master. Su Heng was also obviously a little overwhelmed by the people of God, "Actually, we just want to ask for directions, and others say that you are the person who walks the most in the town." ”
"That's for sure, I'm nicknamed Little Heavenly Master, of course I'm going to travel thousands of miles. The square scarf on the head of the fortune teller was a little crooked, so he simply took it off and continued to spit out his mouth, "If you want to say the truth of this world, nothing is impossible, if you walk more, you will naturally get through, if you can't get through, then go again......"
"Eh, little master, little master!" Su Heng said that he could only use his true qi in the back to stop this fortune teller, "We just want to ask, is there any other way to get to Guanzhong here besides this official road?"
The fortune teller was also stunned for a moment, "Eh, okay, are you going to Guanzhong Dao?"
"Exactly, please ask the little master to give advice. Su Heng arched his hand.
"I see that Your Excellency also has cultivation, so you don't need to call me little master anymore, my name is ghee, you just call me little heavenly master. The fortune teller said calmly, not noticing the green tendons on Su Heng's forehead, "In this trip, in addition to the official road, there is really another way." ”
"I don't know which way it is?" Su Heng asked, when he saw the dirty face of the ghee, the expression you know, he immediately took a strong breath, "Little Heavenly Master......"
"You can go through Baili Peach Mountain, from there you can reach the grassland, and you can go through the grassland to Guanzhong. After listening to the little heavenly master, the ghee sticks were almost intoxicated, but fortunately, he still gave Su Heng and the others advice.
"How big is that grassland?"
"Eight Thousand Miles ......"
"What!?" Su Hengteng stood up, his voice directly raised an octave, "Eight thousand miles? You are fooling me? We have already walked a lot in Ding'an Road, and if we walk another eight thousand miles, why don't you let me go to Lingnan Road first, and then turn back to Guanzhong? That is estimated to be closer!"
The people around them turned their eyes here, this was the first time they had seen someone yelling at the little Heavenly Master, it was just dead?
"Okay, don't get excited, I'll do the math for you. The little heavenly master ghee waved his hand, signaling Su Heng to calm down, and he took out an ancient jade compass from a cloth bag, this ancient jade compass was cyan all over, close to bronze, but the jade was undoubted, but the jade quality was poor.
There are eight trigrams distributed in all directions on the ancient jade compass, and there is a rounded protrusion in the middle, which has the meaning of encompassing heaven and earth.
As soon as the ghee sticks took out the ancient jade compass, the people who gathered around them couldn't help but breathe and didn't dare to disturb.
But instead of using the ancient jade compass, he took out six ancient coins from his bosom.
"It's ...... Money hexagram?" Su Heng once saw an old man use it, which is an extremely ancient way of divination.
"Specifically, it is the gossip of King Wen in the money hexagram. Ghee sticks are rare at this time, but when he spilled the six ancient coins in his hand and saw the hexagram in them, it made his brows frown slightly.
The ghee-sticks moved faster, and he put away the three ancient coins, leaving only three, and so on, six times in a row, but when this series of movements ended, there was a hint of something wrong in his aura's eyes.
Seeing the ghee sticks concentrated, everyone even relaxed their breathing, for fear of disturbing him.
"There's something wrong with that, it shouldn't be......" Ghee said with a shake of his head, and finally took the ancient jade compass on the side in his hand.
One hexagram in a hundred days, and sure enough, I still can't escape!
At this time, the ghee sticks' face was no longer frivolous, and became extremely serious.
"Rise!" the ghee stick bit his finger, and then pressed directly on the rounded protrusion in the middle of the ancient jade compass.
Although others couldn't see any changes, Su Heng could clearly feel that pillars of qi rose from this ancient jade compass, but the length of his fingers was terrifying enough.
This pillar of qi is not true qi, nor is it the power of the soul, nor is it even an existence that Su Heng knows.
Gheetiao's eyes burned, staring at the ancient jade compass, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his fingers left the compass, and a trace of blood slipped from the corner of his mouth.
"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!" Gheetiao shook his head again and again, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, he looked at Su Heng, "Who are you!"
"An ordinary person, I don't know what you've calculated?" Su Heng looked at the ghee, he felt for the first time that this little flicker was indeed not simple.
The ghee sticks took back the ancient jade compass, drove away the people who were still watching the excitement on the sidelines, and then squatted on the ground, "I count his future, although it is vague, but it can still be calculated, but as soon as I count you, the sky is disordered, just now I forcibly used the magic weapon, but I didn't expect to be counterattacked!"
"In that case, then I won't bother anymore, let's go to Peach Mountain and then to the grassland. Su Heng got up and prepared to hurry with Boundless.
"You don't understand, you are you, he is him, these are two people, why do you say all the way?" Ghee Tiers also packed up his cloth bag, "But you can go to Peach Mountain, but the road ahead is full of dangers, you have to be more careful." ”
With that, the ghee sticks turned and left.
"Master, this little master doesn't seem to be simple. Wujiang stood beside Su Heng and said crisply.
Su Heng also looked at the back of the ghee, "You also feel it? This little flicker does have a set, I don't know which powerful disciple I inherited." ”
Before the words fell, I saw the ghee sticks pat on the head, and then quickly ran towards them.
"I almost forgot, you haven't paid yet. Ghee sticks stuffed the obstructive square towel into the cloth bag and reached out.
"What!?are you still going to give silver?" Wujiang jumped up at once, silver, that can buy a lot of delicious things, isn't this a robbery?
The ghee sticks were yelled at by such a small monk, and he felt that he couldn't hold his face, and he also raised his voice, "Do you know that we are all competing with the sky for the first opportunity?
Su Heng patted Wujiang on the shoulder and stopped Wujiang's argument, "Tell me, how much silver do you want?"
"It's still you're sensible, you can give whatever you want. The ghee sticks shook their mouths, "We have a rule for divination. Those who are not paid do not count! Those who are not sincere do not count! Those who have no doubts do not count! Therefore, the money you give must reflect your sincerity. ”
"You ......!" Wujiang was angry, this little man was obviously blackmailing!
Su Heng took it out of his arms, and finally took out a copper coin, "Little Heavenly Master, you see, I only have a copper coin on me." I'll give it all to you, and you should be able to buy a fritter. ”
I thought that the ghee sticks would jump to his feet, but who knew that he took the copper coin and left, and then he really bought a fried dough stick in the shop on the side of the road, and walked while eating, so comfortable.
"This little guy is not simple. Su Heng couldn't help but sigh.
"Why isn't it simple? Master, why did you give him back the copper coin? According to me, you really shouldn't give it to him. Wujiang thinks that he is a bit stupid as a master, how can he give money casually? Even if it is a penny, it is money.
Su Heng touched Wujiang's head, "Let's go...... This little guy is at ease when he encounters, his behavior is in line with his nature, and he is secretly in line with the way of heaven, if he also cultivates, I am afraid that if you want to become the second in the world in the future, you must first defeat him. ”
“......”
Ghee sticks ate fritters, hummed a little tune, carried a cloth bag, walked through the streets and alleys, came to a dilapidated house, and threw away the cloth bag on his shoulder, "Old man, I'm back." ”
"How is it today? Have you received any money?" said an unkempt old man who was very cleanly dressed and came out of the house, carrying a half-eaten roast chicken in his hand.
"I'll take it, old man, you dare to eat alone behind my back!?" Ghee-sticks hurriedly finished eating the fritters in his hand, and then a hungry tiger rushed to the old man's back and snatched the roast chicken.
After a stormy meal, the ghee sticks were contented to lie on a pile of thatch, comfortably touching their stomachs.
"I said, boy, you haven't answered my question yet, have you received the money today?" asked the old man, who was also lying on the thatched pile, looking at the clouds floating overhead.
"Got it, bought a fritter!" the ghee pulled out the shredded meat caught between his teeth and stuffed it back into his mouth.
"What!?Just a penny?Do you know that we can't even open the pot?" the old man almost jumped up.
Ghee sticks spread his hands, "The devil knows that those two people have a penny on them." Besides, isn't there still you? Last time you cheated 10,000 taels of silver from Jushou, which is enough for us to spend for a while. ”
"Are you still thinking about these 10,000 taels of silver? No way, no way......" The old man walked back and forth, he muttered, "You little conscienceless, I still have to support the old age with this 10,000 taels of silver, how can you spend it indiscriminately?"
"You old man, tell me the truth, aren't you going to Peach Blossom House again?" Ghee sticks pillowing his hands, closing his eyes, enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
The old man smiled, "What kind of old man is this? I am called immortal, I can live two more Jiazi, how can I be beaten so early?"
"Liangjiazi, do you mean that when I'm old, you're still alive?" Ghee-Dough opened his eyes, "I wondered, what do you call it old and immortal?"
"Go, go, go, how can you say that old man?" the old man waved his hand.
"But it's also strange, today I calculated a hexagram for two people, one is stranger than the other. "Ghee sticks talk about today's events.
The old man sat back down on the haystack, "What do you say?"
"Old man, did you calculate a hexagram for me before, saying that I was destined to become the second in the world?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter? I calculated a hexagram for a little monk today, and I found out that this guy is the second in the world in the future!"
"Impossible, impossible. The old man waved his hand again and again, "My old man is a fortune teller, how can it be wrong?"
"This one is not the strangest thing, there is an even stranger thing. ”
"What's stranger than being second in the world?"
"Another person, I wanted to tell him a hexagram, but I couldn't figure it out, I used a compass, but I didn't expect it to backfire, and in the end I still couldn't figure out why. ”
When the old man heard this, he was so frightened that he stood up directly, he walked around with a frown, "It doesn't make sense, our cultivation luck is together, and nothing in the world can escape our hexagram." ”
The ghee sticks were too lazy to listen to the old man's nagging, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze in the warm sun.
Suddenly I heard a crisp sound, and the old man slapped his thigh, "Could it be that the old guy came out!?"
