The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, it didn't look like a place to live, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few footprints on the yellow mud ground that had just experienced a light rain.

It just so happens that one in and one out, and the one out is already more blurry, Qi is alive, and I am also a material that can be a detective, this series of footprints shows that the master's family has gone out today, and has gone home, and there are people in the house at the moment.

The glasses that followed me naturally didn't know these strange thoughts in my heart, and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The gate was a one-sided push-pull wrapped in iron sheets, with a lock hanging on the outside, but it was useless, it was buckled to one side, and the inside was fastened with a pin bolt welded with steel bars.

"Miao Dao Chief, are you there?"

Through the crack in the door, you can vaguely see a person walking over and opening the door.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you say that you won't come back to disturb the old life? You Boss Huang don't look like such a discredited person. The old man frowned, poked his head out, and instead of putting it on, his gray hair was pulled up, and tied with a hairpin that looked like wood.

Wearing a cyan robe, his face was ruddy, compared to what he saw in Faming County, it was like a different person, but that face, I could see clearly, it was him.

That's right, Liangcheng is very small, how can there be so many masters, it's already very good to have one.

"Sir, it's me."

Lao Dao opened the door, looked me up and down, and sighed.

"Come in."

The glasses groaned, "Brother Qin knows this?" ”

"Met once."

The layout of this small courtyard is very simple, the inside looks much better than the outside, a courtyard is divided into four sides, up and down, left and right, above is a one-story earthen wall and green tile house, every three rooms, in the center is the place where he does his homework, enshrined in the clay carving stone sculpture that I don't know very well, and you can also see the candle flame bright, and the fragrance of sandalwood wafts out.

The left and right rooms are one for the bedroom and the other for the study; Below is a simple promenade, covered only with green tiles at the top, and tables, chairs and stools at the bottom.

The courtyard is left and right, with a wall and a kitchen. With a simple glance, he finished looking at the surroundings.

"You come with me."

I glanced at my glasses, "You go sit down in the cloister and wait for me." ”

"Okay, Brother Qin."

Following Lao Dao into the middle of the big house, he took out a futon and motioned for me to sit down.

"I didn't expect you to find me, what's the matter?"

"I don't know what I'm looking for you, but today I learned from the person outside that you were in Liangcheng, so I came, I seem to have a lot to know, but I don't know where to start." I really didn't know how to ask, where to start, I just wanted to see him again, so I came.

The old man smiled, "This is fate, if you have prepared before, it can only be called a plan, step by step." ”

I am naturally sensitive to this kind of words, and some people say that they can't understand the Wutai Mountain Treatise in "The Way of Heaven", but I can understand and feel the wonderful charm in every sentence they say.

Wen Yan nodded, wanting to ask something, but always felt that it seemed a little hasty to ask, thinking about the most important thing for me.

"We have a lot of time, and if it's convenient for you, you can start from scratch and don't care about priorities."

I frowned, "Is that so?" You gave Huang Bing's three sticks? Am I the one who signed the lot? ”

The old man pondered for a moment, "I did give the sign, but as for whether you are the person who should be in the sign, I can only say yes and no." ”

"I don't understand, please let me know in detail."

"That's just a possibility for the future, it may or may not be, if you can't understand it, I'll show you something."

"What's that?" I was curious, but I saw the old man pull open the red cloth on one side, pick and choose from it, and took out an iron sieve, and a glass bead, which was not big or small, and could barely accommodate a glass bead.

He held the bead in his hand, asked me to hold the iron sieve, and asked, "Which hole do you think this bead will fall from?" ”

"How do I know that?"

The old man smiled, "The fortune teller will say that the beads will fall through one of these holes, and if he is a little more clever, he will tilt the sieve a little, and then point to the sieve hole below, and say that it will fall from one of these holes, and if he is more skillful, he will always control the sieve and let the beads fall from one of the designated eyes." ”

I somewhat understood that the old man probably meant that the sieve eye represented the so-called future possibility, and this metaphor was fresh and easy to understand.

"But the person who can see the 'sieve eye' is also very powerful."

"What I want to tell you is that these future possibilities are not reliable, it is an idealized state, but the reality will not really be like this, there are too many variables, you, the 'fortune teller' holding the iron sieve, can only control the iron sieve, but don't forget, the beads are in my hands, I am the one who throws the beads, what force and what angle I throw out, it is completely up to me."

"I can even directly look at one of them, throw it in, and you can't do anything about me."

I frowned, "If I'm a fortune teller, then what is your bead thrower?" ”

"Destiny!"

"Destiny is not so boring, it will not deliberately do anything, but what to throw, how to throw, we can't guess, the beads are shot, in order to tell fortunes, the longer the beads stay in the sieve, the less likely the future, and the more accurate the results."

I understand this, after all, the more time passes, the more obvious it becomes.

The old man saw that I understood, and then said: "But the bead is a dead thing, and a man is a living thing, he has his own ideas, he has his own will, the general trend cannot be changed, but the small trend is changeable, on this sieve plate, you see that the bead moves with the general trend, that is, the force and angle that I throw, and the trend of your sieve, this is the general trend, and he can't change it."

There is no such force to compete with the general trend, and it is impossible to break free, but the small trend can be changed, under this general trend, a little bit of deflection, such as the slight unevenness here, the external wind force, etc., and even artificially create a small trend to change, then the future may change greatly. ”

The old man's smile was still there, "Then where do you think it will fall from now?" ”

I looked at the beads that were gradually calming down, and they were about to fall through a hole.

"From there!" Unexpectedly, his hand trembled slightly, and the bead rolled around again and fell through another hole.

"So there are a lot of variables. Judging from the current situation alone, will you fight Huang Bing to the death? ”

I shook my head, although I was beaten up by him at the beginning, and privately thought about paying it back a hundredfold, but as time went by, that hatred became more and more indifferent, and the intersection between me and him became less and less, or even closer to nothing, I might go back to the ring and wait for me to practice it for a while, but it was unlikely that I would spend a lot of money to get him.

The mouse has a cat to take, so there is no need for me, a chicken and duck, to join in the fun.

"Isn't that enough? The general trend remains the same, the small trend is moving, it is you or not necessarily you, the decision is yours, since you don't have that kind of mind, then now the decision is in his hands. ”

But I heard another meaning from the old man's words, the general trend cannot be changed, that is to say, Huang Ping will still plant, but the reason for planting may be different.

"The first problem is solved, and the second problem, I want to ask you to give me a hexagram."

Before I could get ready, the old words had already blurted out, "No! ”

"No, you didn't hear me clearly, or what? I said I want you to tell me a hexagram. ”

"I said it, but it doesn't count."

"Why?"

The old man pouted, "Your life can't be calculated, otherwise when I was in Faming County, the old man and I wouldn't have seen Hunting Xinxi to send you a few words, your life is not pure, and you can't count it." ”

"Your special code is not pure." As soon as I finished speaking, I thought of Li Wei and Xue Yinglou, what did he say about this? Is this old man really so good?

As soon as I looked up, I saw the old man's meaningful smile.

"You yourself died a few months ago, and then ushered in a transformation, so you have the current atmosphere, follow your heart, just live well, your fate can't be calculated, this is the truth, the truth."

"Then you gave me those few words, all of which were from me?"

"Is the word I sent you a fortune teller?"

I thought, hey, it doesn't seem to mean that, am I misunderstood?

"I can't count your fate, but I can really see that those two girls are beneficial to you, as long as the fetters are still there, your fortune is not bad, you should have experienced this yourself, some things get twice the result with half the effort, and it will come naturally, this is the envy of others Smooth sailing, life is smooth."

I unconsciously lowered my voice, "Which one is stronger?" ”

"It's all the same, they complement each other and complement each other, if there is something missing, the effect is not half reduced."

"One more question, if these two people get married in the future or have other hearts, but I am still good friends with them, is the benefit still there?"

"If a good woman doesn't marry a second husband, how can good luck take care of both? Unless they marry someone and don't marry their hearts. ”

"Oh ho ho ho ho ~ can it still be like this? Ahem, ahem, old man, you are not honest, how can there be such a thing. "I straightened my face, what did this old man think.

"Didn't you? I also have a mobile phone, old man, and you young people still understand things, not the kind of people who don't listen to what's going on outside the window and are isolated from the world. ”

"Let me ask one more, is that person out there reliable? Or is it helpful to me? ”

The old man glanced outside, his glasses were drinking tea at the moment, fiddling with the utensils he said.

"If you are so suspicious, why don't you doubt me? Didn't you think that I would also join forces with them to deceive you? ”

"I think it's unlikely, because from the perspective of interests, there is no need to make such a big deal about me, but Huang Bing may not be willing to believe me, the probability of being convinced after one fight is a bit low, but it is possible to let the person who is familiar with me come to test it, after all, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble."

"For now, it's going to help you. You shouldn't actually ask me this question, because you don't believe it all. ”

"Which side will help me in the future?"

"Liangcheng is very good, the roots are here."

"Understood, what can I do in the future?"

"Just do what you have to do."

your yards! It's annoying to such an old riddler, and I wonder if this old man didn't see it, so he used a word of panacea?

"What you said last time, does it still count?"

The old man looked up at me, his eyes like lightning, and he looked at me......
