Chapter 176: Old Man's Advice
The fortune teller retracted his gaze and said very seriously: "Little guy, you should leave the imperial capital as soon as possible! If you stay in the imperial capital, you may fall into a place of no return in the near future, or perhaps, you will set off a bloody storm in the imperial capital!"
After saying this, Tian Ling and the others were stunned on the spot, these words were really exciting! Especially when Tian Ling thought more, he directly remembered the dream he had a few days ago, the dream in which he was devoured by the evil and evil Tian Ling in the consciousness space, and killed too many people! These days, often inadvertently, the scene of that dream will appear in Tian Ling's mind, which makes him afraid!
"Alas, this kind of fate of yours, the old man has been telling fortunes for decades, and it is the first time he has encountered it. What a terrible fate!" The old man sighed incessantly, and as he spoke, he stood up, as if he was about to leave.
"Old man, please stay!" Seeing that the old man had turned around, Tianling hurriedly got up to stay. But the old man didn't say anything, put away the two little horses, waved his hand briefly, turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at the old man's distant back, Tianling was silent, could it be that this was really a prophecy? If not, how could there be such a coincidence?
"Tianling, what's wrong?"
Seeing Tianling alone there in a daze, Tianyi fell on his shoulder and asked. As soon as Tianling wanted to answer, he heard the voice of a middle-aged woman next to him.
"Little guy, don't care, old man Zhuge scares you!"
The owner of the voice was the owner of a nearby snack bar, the woman was a little fat, she looked like she was in her thirties, she was wearing good clothes, and she looked to be in her thirties. In the imperial capital, the owner of a snack bar looks like the first-class nobles of those countries in the non-empire, what kind of gap is this?
However, seeing someone talking, Tianling still took the initiative to ask: "This eldest sister, do you know that old gentleman?"
"What's more, she knows that half of the people in this snack street know Old Man Zhuge , he is our old neighbor, and he has set up a hexagram stall here all year round to make money. β
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind, and Tianling turned his head to see that he was also a middle-aged man under thirty years old, and it seemed that his living standard was not much worse than that of this middle-aged woman.
"Yes, it is said that the ancestor of the old man Zhuge is a fortune teller, and he is also a heavenly master, and a single line has been passed on to the generation of the old man Zhuge , the old man Zhuge is unwilling to give up his ancestral fortune-telling skills, so he stubbornly relies on this unnoticed profession to make a living, and lives a miserable life!"
It's another voice, it's the owner of another snack bar.
Although the life of the old man Zhuge is not in a slump, I have to say that his ability is really not small. Give him a birthday, and he will be able to deduce all the major events in this person's life, and with his help, there are two people on our street who can be said to have escaped death!"
"Indeed, there are those that the old man Zhuge used on you just now, just by his palms and faces, he can judge a person's good fortune and evil, give advice to that person, and help him turn evil into evil. β
If it weren't for his guidance last time, Sister Chen would have been trampled to death by a chaotic horse. β
"But the old man Zhuge is also a hard-working man, with special skills, but he is so jealous and hateful, he refused the invitation of the Zhou Mansion, and his life was abolished! Poor old man Zhuge has done good deeds all his life, but he ended up like this. β
"But do you feel strange? Old man Zhuge only needs to take a look at the fortune telling of ordinary people, but he just stared at this little brother for half an hour!"
"Don't tell me, I really didn't notice. It seems that this little brother is really not simple. β
"That's right, little brother, you believe the words of Old Man Zhuge , he won't harm you, you just listen to his words and leave the imperial capital as soon as possible." β
"That's right, you just leave, old man Zhuge has never made a mistake in fortune-telling. β
So, a large number of people began to persuade Tianling to leave the imperial capital, which is really not good news, but they said that the old man Zhuge was so godly, and they persuaded themselves like this, and Tianling was embarrassed to refuse on the spot.
Tianling respectfully hugged his fist and said, "Thank you." Maybe I'll leave. But before leaving, I would like to visit Mr. Zhuge in person, can you tell me where Mr. Zhuge lives?"
At this time, the eldest sister who spoke to Tianling for the first time said to Tianling: "Originally, Old Man Zhuge didn't accept anyone after he went back, but I don't think you look like a bad person, so you can try it." Then the eldest sister told Tianling Zhuge in detail where the old man was located, and after Tianling thanked him, the four of them left.
Since it was not early today, and they were embarrassed to disturb the old gentleman, they found a restaurant to live in, and planned to visit again tomorrow! The first thing they did after staying was of course to have a good meal, and at night they had nothing to do with three people and a cat, and they went out to the night market together.
The next day, after breakfast, Tianling walked out of the restaurant alone, according to the address that the eldest sister said to herself yesterday, Tianling asked along the way, and after nearly an hour, Tianling walked into a small alley.
"I didn't expect that the prosperous Fenglin Imperial Capital would have such a piece of poor land!" Standing at the mouth of the alley, Tianling couldn't help but sigh. Compared to most buildings in the imperial capital, these small houses are not made of earth, but they are glaring enough.
Gently raised his feet and walked into this alley, Tianling's footsteps seemed so harsh, it was too quiet here, like an uninhabited area. Walking here, Tianling couldn't help but wonder, who are the people who live here? Is it a retired soldier, or a frustrated hard-working person, or an abandoned lonely old man?
Tianling slowly walked to a small door, it was really just a small door, a small door that could only accommodate one person to pass through. Tianling hesitated, raised his hand and gently knocked on the small iron door covered with rust.
The door opened, and an old man hunched over and gray-haired opened it. It was the old man surnamed Zhuge who told Tianling's fortune yesterday.
Before Tianling could speak, the old man took the lead in speaking: "Young man, if you come later, I'm leaving!" After speaking, the old man turned around and returned home.
Of course, Tian Ling now understands that the old man is waiting for him at home, and the old man has calculated that Tian Ling will definitely come to him again. Tian Ling saluted and followed into the old man's house. But Tianling didn't think about what the old man meant by the sentence I am leaving, and took it for granted that the old man was going to set up a stall in the snack street. So much so that after Tianling came here, Tianling completely lost the news of the old man.
The old man's house is really quite simple, and after entering the door is a small house, only about the size of a thatched house. In the imperial capital, such a house is too dazzling. Tianling didn't think much, such a godlike old man lived so poorly.
Walking into the house, there was only a small table and two small stools in the house, the old man Qing Tianling sat down, carried a pot of tea and put it on the table, and poured a cup for Tianling and himself before sitting down. Tianling thanked him.
As soon as Tianling wanted to open his mouth to ask something, the old man Zhuge interrupted him and said, "Don't say anything, drink tea first!"
Helplessly, Tianling picked up the small teacup and took a sip. The entrance of the tea is as light as the clear water, the light is mixed with a faint bitterness, and there seems to be more of a taste, but Tianling, who swallowed it directly, couldn't taste what that taste was. People like Tianling, who are used to drinking like water, naturally find it difficult to taste the taste of tea.
"Young man, tea is not wine, you have to taste it slowly!" said the old man Zhuge again.
Tianling nodded and took another sip. This time, Tianling did not rush to swallow it, but let it slowly flow from his mouth into his throat and then into his abdomen. Sure enough, the taste is different, and it is no longer as bland and tasteless as clear water. Although the bitter taste is heavier, there is also a refreshing mellow aroma in addition to the bitterness, especially after the tea slowly flows into the abdomen, the residual mellow aroma in the mouth is even more evocative.
Capturing the mellow fragrance, Tianling took another sip and savored it quietly. When the old man Zhuge saw this, he smiled with satisfaction.
The old man and the young man didn't say a word, and Tianling seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his coming here, and accompanied the old man to quietly sip tea. It was as if the heart had completely calmed down at this moment. At the end of a pot of tea, the old man finally spoke lightly.
"Young man, I know why you are here today, but don't mention the tedious things you care about!"
Tian Ling asked puzzledly, "Why did the old gentleman say that?" Since the old gentleman knew why I came, he should naturally know that I was very concerned about that issue. Tianling was indeed confused, so it was inevitable that he would not be too calm when he said this.
"That's why I just let you drink tea. The old man did not answer positively, but said something inexplicably, and then said: "Young man, it can be seen that you are not a peaceful lord, so you can't leave the imperial capital for a while." Fortunately, you have a kind heart, so you won't cause a monstrous disaster!"
Tian Ling's heart trembled at the bottom of these words, could it be said that if it was an evil Tianling, he would really turn the imperial capital to the bottom of the sky? The imperial capital dragon is overwhelmed, and he Tianling is not even at the spiritual level, how can he be virtuous? But the old man said this, naturally he had his reasons, but it seems that he won't tell Tianling.
"Young man, I can't help you! Your fate is very fierce, I can't see through it, and the trip to the imperial capital is just the beginning. β
Tian Ling clearly remembered what the old man Zhuge said to him yesterday: If you stay in the imperial capital, you may soon fall into a place of no return, or perhaps, you will set off a bloody storm in the imperial capital! But now, the old man said that the trip to the imperial capital is just the beginning! So how dangerous will Tian Ling's life be? He didn't want to speculate.
"I can't interfere with your life. But the old man has a proposal for you. Old man Zhuge sighed and said kindly.
Tian Ling nodded indifferently: "Old gentleman, please speak!"
"Perhaps it will not be long before you will be led into what I call a bloody situation, and I hope that when that moment comes, you will be able to treat that thing like a cup of tea, and consider it carefully and savor it. Don't swallow it in one gulp like you would, you'll miss out on the aftertaste!"
The old man stopped after saying this, and Tian Ling carefully reflected on this sentence, understanding and considering every word. The old man was not in a hurry, turned around and made another pot of tea, and sat opposite Tianling to drink tea alone.
After a long time, Tianling stood up, bowed deeply to the old man, and said sincerely: "I have been taught, thank you for the teaching!"
"Young man, go ahead! What should you do in the future, I hope you will grasp it well, and don't take the wrong step!"
Bidding farewell to the old man Zhuge , Tianling slowly walked towards the location of the restaurant alone, with a lot of thoughtsγγγγγγ
