Chapter 2 Getting into trouble
readx;
When the Taoist heard that the scholar was willing to spend money to calculate the future of marriage, his heart blossomed, and he said righteously: "Dare to ask the donor whether he wants to count marriage, or future, or both?"
When the scholar was about to speak, he saw people coming and going and staring at him, and hurriedly invited the Taoist to sit on his stool. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ He reclined the cloth banner in his left hand on the table, placed the bell on the table, and placed the blanket hanging from his shoulder (the middle opening, the long pockets that can hold things at both ends) on the table, and then sat down. The scholar saw the other party sitting still, standing beside him, and asked, "What do you dare to call Dao Chief, and in which treasure temple do you have a foothold?"
"Under the common name Xu Yang, he was a Taoist priest of Wuyunguan before, and now he takes the four seas as his home, and makes a living for others. The man said.
The scholar rubbed his hands and smiled, the name of "Wuyun Temple" was like thunder, and he often went to the gym to play, but unfortunately this gym has now been forced to close by the officers and soldiers, and the Taoist priests have been disbanded one by one. As for why, there is no way to know. Hearing that the other party is no longer based on Wuyun Temple, maybe it is precisely because the Taoist hall is closed that the other party has nowhere to stand and wanders around, right? But thinking that he had promised to break the cost of the fortune telling, how could it be a gentleman's act to go back on his word. The scholar said: "Daochang Xu, I want to ask about marriage, and I hope that Daochang will give you some guidance." β
Xu Yang saw that the other party was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and thought that the other party would ask about the future, but he didn't think that he would ask about marriage. But when he saw the other party looking at him with suspicion, he sneered in his heart and said endlessly: "Dragons are afraid of dragons, horses are afraid of horses, pigs are afraid of pigs, and chickens are afraid of chickens." Monkeys and tigers see each other, rabbits and mice do not get married, golden roosters do not run to horses, pigs should not enter the dragon gate, cattle and sheep do not match, and dogs do not go to the snake's house. Donor, please tell me your birthday!"
The scholar heard the other party finish talking about the taboo of marriage in one breath, and silently remembered these words in his heart. Just as he was about to tell the other party his eight characters, he suddenly was pushed by someone, lost his balance, fell to the ground heavily, and was about to scold who did it, when he suddenly found that there were five or six people standing in the place where he was standing just now, and one of the leaders had a fierce face full of flesh, and there was a beard on his chin;
Xu Yang was waiting for the scholar to answer, but he didn't expect a group of people to suddenly appear in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that this group of people was the group of ruffians he had met at the city gate before. And when Xu Yang saw this group of people, one of the minions had already overthrown the scholar to the ground, causing these ruffians to applaud. The scholar hurriedly stood up and hid to the side to see what these scoundrels were going to do, and only prayed in his heart that these people would not destroy the four treasures of their study.
One of the minions snatched a stool from a nearby stall and placed it under the buttocks of the fierce-looking man, and then the minions surrounded Xu Yang, as if the other party would slip away. One of the fat and short men snatched the cloth banner with one hand, and the other two also hurriedly snatched the bell and blanket on the table, and looked at Xu Yang with a hippie smile. The man with a face full of meat sat down, put a piece of meat in his hand on the table, and looked at Xu Yang without blinking, as if he wanted to see through the other party. Seeing Xu Yang sitting there without fear, he didn't shy away from his fierce eyes, he was stunned in his heart, and shouted with saliva: "You are setting up a stall here, have you paid the protection fee?"
Xu Yang saw that the other party was here to collect protection money, and saw the little minions surrounding him, and sneered: "How much does the protection fee have to pay?"
The person with a fierce face heard the other party ask about the protection fee, thinking that a wronged boss was discovered by himself again, and his heart suddenly blossomed, and he said with a smile: "If you want to do business safely and securely in my territory, you only need to pay ten taels of silver, and you can do your business safely and steadily in the future." By the way, how much does it cost you to calculate a hexagram? I just heard you say that it costs one tael of silver to calculate a hexagram, but now it is just right, you only need to pay me nine taels of silver, and then calculate my fortune for me, and you will be safe and sound in the future. β
Xu Yang looked at each other as if he was looking at an idiot, this was the first time he had heard this kind of words, that is, he let himself give silver and let himself calculate the fortune of the other party in vain, and he was thinking about how to teach this group of people a lesson. The scholar next to him was shocked when he heard that the other party was going to ask the Taoist for ten taels of silver, and thought: "This leper dog thinks that he has the support of the government, so he runs rampant in the market and collects money indiscriminately, which is really unreasonable." We are usually afraid of each other, but we just pay a few pennies, and we don't think that the other party is now asking for so much money from the Taoist, it's really damned!"
Xu Yang saw that there were people watching the excitement around him, and knew that if he wanted to fight at this time, he would definitely attract the government, and maybe he would bring prison for himself. After thinking about it, he said: "I am just a poor Taoist who walks all over the world, how can I give ten taels of gifts? It is true that the poor Taoist just received one or two silver from that scholar, but now the price has increased." If you want to be poor and count your fortune, you must receive eleven taels of silver, otherwise you will not be accompanied. After saying that, he stood up suddenly, and watched what this group of people could do to themselves, and it was a big deal to knock this group over, and then take the opportunity to escape.
When the man heard that Xu Yang dared to ask for money from him, he was furious, and he got up, clasped his fists and sleeves, and was about to wave his fists to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but when he saw that there were people around him, he was afraid that things would make a big fuss, and it would not be good for him. The man thought for a while, sat down, stretched out his hand and took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver from his bosom and put it on the table, and said with grinning teeth: "You are good at this broken way, if you are satisfied with the master, it will not hurt to give you this ingot of silver." If you dare to play tricks with you, hum, I'll let you taste the taste of my fists. When he said that, he was gearing up, and he looked like he was going to hit someone with his fist at any time.
Xu Yang sat down, rolled his sleeves towards the silver on the table, and suddenly the twenty taels of silver disappeared, and asked, "What do you call it?"
When the man saw that the other party had not yet calculated his fortune and accepted his own money, he jumped like thunder, rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms, and shouted angrily: "I have seen someone who is not afraid of death, but I have never seen you so unafraid of death." I have always been the only one who has the idea of beating other people's money, but I didn't think that someone would still fight my idea, I was really looking for death. Dare to pull teeth in the tiger's mouth, it's really impatient. Okay, okay, if you don't give me a good calculation today, I'll let you know what life is worse than death. He doesn't have a name, only one named 'Mudworm'. You have to be careful, or you have to be careful with your head moving. β
When Xu Yang saw that the other party was about to wave his fist, he heard the other party's annoyed and angry words, and sneered in his heart. Xu Yang took out a piece of submission paper (cheap paper) from the table and put it in front of the other party, then handed the brush to the other party and said, "Write your name on the paper, and I will carefully calculate your fortune." β
When the mudworm was about to pick up the other party's pen, he found that his hands were full of oil, and he immediately pulled out a book from his face, wiped it indiscriminately, and then threw the cabbage-like book aside, snatched the pen handed by Xu Yang, clenched his fists, and was waiting for the paper to compare, when he suddenly found that he had never written his name, and his head was blank, and he didn't know where to start? The scholar saw that the other party used his book to wipe his hands, and he was so angry that the root of his teeth itched, and he quickly picked up the book, wiped it clean, and put it in his arms.
Xu Yang saw that the other party kept the pen in mid-air, and guessed one or two, just squinting at the other party. The little minions around him saw that their bosses stopped writing, and they also looked forward to it one by one, thinking: "When did the boss write?"
Just when everyone was waiting for the muddy worm to put down the pen, they saw the other party grabbing the pen, scribbling on the paper indiscriminately, and then throwing the pen in his hand aside, tearing the paper in front of him, and shouting: "You stinky Taoist, I can't write my name, you just give me a good calculation." As soon as these words fell, they immediately attracted the laughter and applause of the people around them.
Hearing the people around him laughing at him, Duohun Worm stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he roared like thunder: "Whoever laughs again will eat me with a punch." β
The minions heard their boss get angry, and they also waved their limbs, driving away the people around them. The scholar standing next to him saw a sneer on the corner of Xu Yang's mouth, and understood that the other party was deliberately playing tricks on the other party, and immediately became worried about the other party. The mudworm saw that the people around him had retreated, and they were still there, and no one had left. Duo Hun Worm sat down, slapped the table in annoyance, and shouted: "Stinky Taoist, quickly count it for me, otherwise I will not blame me for being polite." β
"Since you can't write your name, put your palm out for me to see. Xu Yang sat there and said. As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, he attracted ridicule from the people around him.
The little minions saw the people around them laughing at their heads again, and immediately drove away the people around them. When the multi-mudworm heard that the other party was about to let himself stretch out his palm, he immediately stretched out his right hand. Xu Yang saw the other party stretching out his right hand and said, "Male left, female right, stretch out your left hand." β
"I'm. Why didn't you say it earlier, did you deliberately trick me?" When the mudworm said, he wanted to step forward and grab the other party's collar and beat him violently, but he found that the other party was looking at him coldly, as if he had become a little white rabbit and was stared at by a tiger, and he couldn't help but feel empty. Seeing that the other party was still sitting there without fear, he was really worried that he not only did not knock over the other party, but if he knocked himself over, he would be embarrassed and thrown home. Duo Hun sat on the stool, stretched out his left hand, and thought to himself, "I have to find a chance to clean up this damn stinky Taoist priest, and let him know that my territory is not a place where dogs and cats can go wild." β
Just when Duo Hun Worm was making a small abacus in his heart, he heard Xu Yang say: "The broken palm is a palmistry that gathers wealth, and the veins run through the palms, and people with this kind of veins are relatively rare, and it is estimated that they account for seven or eight percent." People like this kind of palm are either rich and wealthy, or they are in prominent official positions and have prosperous official fortunes. Although you made some windfalls in the meantime, but it's a pity, it's a pity!"
"What is a pity?" asked the Mudworm and the little minions in unison.
Xu Yang saw that this group of people listened to his words, and said: "It's a pity that the length of the ring finger and the middle finger are close, if you don't restrain it, then squander it wantonly, and then indulge in gambling and pleasure, you will definitely end up bankrupt." It's okay, but if you go on like this, you will get an incurable disease, so it's too late to regret it. β
When Duo Hun heard what the other party said, his face was red and white for a while, and he also knew that he had indeed made some ill-gotten gains in the past. But these small fortunes can only support themselves and these little minions, where do they come from to be rich and rich, and they have a lot of money, not to mention any official fortune and embarking on the road to official careers. Although the imperial court can now buy and sell official positions, but with his own little silver, he can't even buy a seven-grade sesame official, so how can he talk about a prosperous official fortune? Duo Hun worm thought that his fortune was only a little similar to what the other party said, and his fate was in the opposite direction, and he asked eagerly: "I didn't have any money in the past, let alone any official fortune, how can I make my family rich and embark on the road of official career?"
"Congenital deficiencies, acquired to make up for them. Xu Yang said.
Duo Mudworm chewed on the other party's words, but couldn't figure out what it meant, and asked: "What is congenital deficiency, and the acquired supplement?"
"Originally, your palm was a very rare rich and noble appearance, but you were dragged down by nature to this dilemma. Congenital insufficiency: it is your two fingers that are dragged down, and the acquired supplement, it is natural to find a way to make the two fingers not so close, otherwise this life will definitely end up in a situation of displacement, bankruptcy. β
Thinking of this, knowing that the other party deliberately made fun of himself, he was furious, and smashed his fist on the table, and immediately discounted one of the legs of the table. After one leg of the table was discounted by the other party, the four treasures of the study placed on it rolled to the ground. Duo Mudworm ignored these things, and flew up and swung towards Xu Yang.
Xu Yang saw that the other party moved his hand in public, and he was in the middle of the arms, and he took steady steps, and then saw the other party's legs approaching his faΓ§ade, grabbed the other party's legs with both hands, and fell hard, and threw them upside down, prostrate on the ground, and complained bitterly.
When the mudworm saw that his leg was about to kick the other party, he suddenly found that the other party was standing firm on the spot, and thought that the other party was frightened by his morale, and he was at a loss. The little minions around saw that their heads were thrown to the ground by the other party's move, threw away the cloth flags, bells, and blankets in their hands, and swarmed towards each other with their fists.
Xu Yang saw these little minions rushing towards him, sneered in his heart, waved his fist and hit a person in the face, and immediately knocked him to the ground; another punch, knocked another person over, flew up with a kick, and kicked the person who pounced out. After three or two strokes, they immediately beat the group of people to the ground one by one, crying bitterly. Xu Yang slapped his uniform, and when he walked to the ground and was about to pick up his cloth flags, bells, and blankets, he suddenly felt a gust of wind whistling behind his head.
