Chapter 37 The infatuation is long
On this day, it is the third day that Xu Changqing has set up a fortune-telling stall, and his appearance is really not suitable for being a fortune teller, but suitable for being a beggar. In the past three days, there has not been a fortune teller for him, but there are a lot of odds and ends that passers-by see his pitiful alms. It's still February, and the cold wind hasn't subsided, Xu Changqing is just sitting in a short coat at the corner of the street, anyone who sees it feels sad, and can't help but give him some money. Although he didn't like his fortune teller, there were a lot of people who liked his golden bells, and every night he would deliberately let people snatch them, and the golden bells would automatically return to his hands the next day, and those thugs who grabbed the bells were dead and crippled.
This golden bell can be regarded as an evil weapon, called the heart bell, the best at charming the mind, but the heart is also divided into good and evil, the right is to lead people to good, and evil leads people to evil. Generations of ninth-rate idlers would tie this bell to their braids, and then use their natal power to suppress the evil qi in the bell, but Xu Changqing had already borrowed all the skills of the ninth-rate idlers in the bell a year and a half ago, so that the evil aura of the golden bell could diffuse and affect people's hearts. Because the golden bell contains the natal return spell engraved by the first generation of Yizhuang owners, whenever the bell leaves a certain distance or time, it will return to Xu Changqing's hands, and Xu Changqing also uses this golden bell to let those gangsters suffer themselves. In this way, there are a lot fewer gangsters who are begging for a living in the street, and the weirdness of Xu Changqing's golden bell has also spread quickly, making those who are secretly snooping a lot less.
"Jingle bell" more than a dozen copper horns were thrown in front of Xu Changqing, still the shoes, the cheongsam, and the woman. From the first day Xu Changqing sat here, this cheongsam woman with a little rouge would come here at a fixed time every day to tell her fortune, and the fortune teller she found was different every time. He heard from the people around him that this woman was a fairly famous courtesan in the club of the rich district, and she was supposed to be very wealthy, but for some reason she always came to this kind of charlatan's gathering place to tell fortunes, instead of looking for those fortune officials, and every time she told fortunes, she was counting when her husband would come back. Her husband was arrested by the officers and soldiers as a rebel party of the Boxer Rebellion on the day he got married, and it has been almost ten years now.
"You stop!" Xu Changqing, who had heard the story of this woman, felt a rare sense of compassion, picked up the copper horn on the ground, and shouted at the woman.
The woman stopped, looked at Xu Changqing with a puzzled expression, and said, "Isn't it enough? I don't have much money on me, or I'll give you a few more tomorrow!"
Xu Changqing was stunned, he really didn't expect this woman to think that he was too little money, and he would give him a little more tomorrow. This kind of person either has a problem with his head, or he is a natural good person, no matter what kind of person is the best.
"I'll give you a life!" Xu Changqing put the copper horn in his hand, then took out the copper horn she gave before, and said: "You brought a total of sixty-six horns two days ago, you gave me ten, yesterday you gave me seven, and today you gave me another sixteen, just give me half of the money, I will give you a life." ”
Hearing Xu Changqing say the amount of money she gave and the amount of money she brought for two days, the woman immediately showed surprise and asked urgently, "Do you know how to tell fortunes?"
Xu Changqing didn't like to be too wordy, so he didn't explain, and asked directly: "Say, what do you want to count?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, squatted down and looked at Xu Changqing, and then said slowly, "I want to know when my husband will be able to come back?"
This woman is also a little famous here, and when everyone saw that this woman was actually looking for a beggar to tell her fortune, they all thought that she was crazy, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.
Xu Changqing didn't ask the woman's husband's birthday, nor did he ask the woman's husband's appearance and time of leaving home, and he didn't put the heavens and the earth on the table, so he directly began to pinch his fingers and count, and saw that the warlocks around him shook their heads, and some people who knew numerology called him a liar. The woman was originally full of hope, but when she heard the words of the people around her, her hope gradually disappeared, and she wanted to get up and leave, but she said in her heart that it was okay to listen and see, so she squatted down again.
"Life is a good life, why bother to find a broken bowel! If you are too persistent, you will end up harming yourself. Suddenly, Xu Changqing stopped pinching his fingers, he looked at the woman without makeup with pity, and said, "Miss, some things are not just good to know, and sometimes it hurts even more when you know." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, she had told fortunes countless times over the years, but no one had ever said such a thing to her, until someone next to her coaxed Xu Changqing to say that Xu Changqing couldn't calculate it, and was fooling others, she came to her senses, and said with a firm expression: "Please also ask Mr. to tell me the truth, no matter whether it is bitter or happy in the end, it is better than a long wait." ”
"It's rare for you to be so open-minded. Xu Changqing said bluntly: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, you go to the launching dock, stand next to the seventeenth cable pier from west to east of the pier and look northeast for five minutes, and you can see your husband." ”
After speaking, he put the copper horn into his arms, closed his eyes and said no more, leaving only a group of sneering onlookers and the skeptical woman around.
Except for the calculation for the woman once in the morning, he never gave the calculation again, and the people who came and went heard about the morning from the other fortune tellers, and they all thought that Xu Changqing was cheating money, and even the copper horns that were originally going to be given to her were put back in their pockets.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost a quarter past three in the afternoon, and many fortune tellers were looking at Xu Changqing, waiting to see his joke. Not long after the time passed, the woman appeared at the corner of the street near the pier, her face was unusually pale, her eyes were blank, as if she had lost her soul, she staggered and staggered, and looked like she was about to fall down at any moment. When the woman walked up to Xu Changqing, she stopped, and the scene that the fortune tellers around her were expecting was not born, but the woman's expression was heartbroken, her lips kept shaking, and she said, "Did you already know?"
"I found out yesterday when you asked me. Xu Changqing seemed to understand what she was asking and replied.
The woman, whose bones seemed to be shattered, sat limply on the ground, and muttered, "Why? Why did he do this to me? I've been waiting for him for almost ten years!"
"It's very simple, one word is profitable! The world is bustling for profit. Xu Changqing opened his eyes, looked at the woman and said, "His current wife can give him the benefits he wants, can you give him him? You can only humiliate him, you are just a courtesan in a rich area!"
"Li, humiliation?" Xu Changqing's words were undoubtedly a fatal blow to the woman, hurting her to the point that she was completely injured, and even the last bit of shame was ruthlessly torn apart, and for a while, tears couldn't help dripping down, and she cried on the ground regardless of the strange eyes around her, and soon a large water stain accumulated on the stone bricks below.
The people around seemed to hear a little bit of cattiness from the few words in it, and it sounded like the woman's husband had married another woman. Especially when he heard Xu Changqing's almost ruthless humiliation of the woman, he seemed to have turned into a righteous knight, and stood up indignantly to accuse Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing ignored the people around him, but looked at the woman quietly, until she was almost crying, and her body turned to twitch constantly, and then said slowly: "Do you have your husband's personal token?"
The woman was speechless at the moment, just nodded, and took out a small jade pendant from her body, only to see that the words "Don't forget" were engraved on it. With just a jade pendant and four words, a woman was trapped for nearly ten years, Xu Changqing had never seen this situation, and he had never felt such strong feelings, which he had never felt in Chen Jiachong for more than 20 years, and he felt that he was right to leave Chen Jiachong at this moment.
Xu Changqing took out a peachwood figure made of paper from his sleeve, and this move made the people around him think it was a trick, and some people who had just come over couldn't help but applaud regardless of the occasion. He didn't pay attention to it so much, put the peach wood man on the ground, took off the necklace part of the jade pendant, and put the rest of the jade pendant on the peach wood man's chest, and then regardless of the public, he knotted the law seal in his hand, ran the true yuan, and read in his mouth: "The three souls of heaven and earth set yin and yang, all things smell and breathe with the true spirit, and the divine soldiers are as urgent as the law, edict!"
As Xu Changqing's Dao method unfolded, I saw that the chest of the peach wood man suddenly sunk, and the jade pendant sank to the chest of the peach wood person, merging with the peach wood person. Everyone was stunned, looking at the strange scene in front of them, no one dared to say that this was a trick, and the woman also looked at the scene of the jade pendant sinking into the peach wood man in a daze, and even forgot the moment of sadness.
Xu Changqing's face was expressionless, he picked up the peach wood man, handed it to the woman and said: "You can vent all your grievances and hatred on the peach wood man, and the corresponding harm you do to the peach wood man will also be reflected on your negative husband, if you want to kill him, just cut off the head of the peach wood man." ”
The woman looked at the peach wood man in front of her, as if she had seen some ghost, and retreated back in horror, unable to speak, she could only shake her head sharply, indicating that she didn't want to.
Xu Changqing didn't pay attention to it so much, forced the peach wood man into the woman's arms, and said: "If you feel that he is not sorry for you, you can puncture the middle finger and smear the blood of the middle finger on the peach wood man, and the spell will naturally dissolve." As he spoke, he helped the woman up, and said earnestly: "Love and hatred, how to deal with it is up to you? When you feel that there is nothing you care about here, go to Yunnan, your life is very harmonious with Yunnan, so you can do it yourself." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the woman to react, she took off the clothes on the bamboo pole and put them on, and walked outside, and the people who were originally watching the excitement all shouted, "Master, stay!" and stepped forward to surround him. But he vanished from the crowd in an instant, and only a phantom figure shuffled freely through the tight crowd, and those who passed by him only felt a breeze blowing in their faces, and he rushed to the end of the street in only a few breaths.
With the shaking of the braids, a crisp golden bell sounded, burrowing into everyone's ears, and the people around seemed to have doubts about Xu Changqing's sudden appearance in front of them, obviously it appeared in an instant just now, but it felt like they had already stood here, and their faces showed a slight puzzle and then returned to normal, and they hurriedly walked away.
"Fellow Daoist, such a profound light skill, such a powerful puppet technique, I don't know which master of Ge Soap Mountain?" At this time, a voice suddenly came from Xu Changqing's side.
Xu Changqing didn't look back, so he said bluntly: "Old Man Zhao is really the head of the Destiny of Heaven, I didn't expect that I could even calculate how I go so clearly, I admire it!"
"It's just some terrain deduction! It's not a matter of knowing the destiny of heaven!" At this time, from Xu Changqing's right side of the life hall, a white old man with a kind smile on his face and a slightly rich body walked out, he walked quickly to Xu Changqing, pointed to the Tianshu Pavilion not far away, and said: "That is an old and decayed dwelling, if you don't dislike it, please go over and talk about it." ”
Xu Changqing did not shirk either, and under the guidance of Zhao Banqian, he walked into the Tianshu Pavilion and followed him to a reception room in the backyard. After asking Xu Changqing to sit down, Zhao Banqian instructed his subordinates to make a good cup of tea, and then sat on Xu Changqing's side, and did not dislike the smell on Xu Changqing's body, and said: "I didn't expect that Daoyou is not only good at studying Taoism, but also good at secular fist and foot kung fu.
"Why does Old Man Zhao think that I am from Gesoap Mountain? Could it be that a little puppet technique and knowing a little secular light skill are the people of Gesoap Mountain?" Xu Changqing took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and said: "Could it be that Old Man Zhao forgot that I am still proficient in the science of numerology, and it seems that there is no numerology in Gesoap Mountain, right?"
Xu Changqing's series of questions stopped Old Man Zhao, he was stunned, but soon the golden bell tied to the braid behind him, his face was shocked, and then he suddenly realized, and said with a laugh: "Distinguished guest, distinguished guest! No wonder the courtyard is full of flowers today, it turns out that the distinguished guest is here!"
"Junior Xu Changqing has seen Old Man Zhao!" Xu Changqing also got up and saluted.
After saluting, the two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh, laughing so much that Zhao Banqian's disciple touched his head, confused, and didn't know why.
