At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Their eyes met, and the crowd around them seemed to be separated from another world.

Only two people, looking at each other from afar.

But only a moment later, the faces of both of them returned to calm at the same time.

The surrounding world has also resumed its bustle and hustle.

Yu Chen suppressed his surprise and came to the young man and looked at him.

At the same time, the latter's face returned to normal, calm and indifferent.

But it is obvious that both of them have noticed something in their hearts.

For example, Yu Chen knew that the guy in front of him was by no means simple, and the young man realized that behind this paper figure was the purpose of his trip, the judge.

But, tacitly.

Yu Chen relied on himself and was now a paper puppet, and he was not afraid of being seen as his follower, so he calmly bowed his hand and said hello, "I heard that the master is proficient in divination, can you help me calculate the whereabouts of a person?" ”

The young man's eyes narrowed, the folding fan in his hand swayed, and he smiled: "Daoist friends praise it falsely, but it's just some side doors, just eat on this street." ”

After a pause, he looked Yu Chen up and down, "As the saying goes, depending on your parents, you rely on your friends when you go out, and today you can find a small life in this vast sea of people, it is fate, it is fate, it is fate, then it doesn't hurt if you don't count a hexagram." ”

Yu Chen raised his eyebrows.

So easy to talk to?

"Then dare to ask the master, how much does this divination cost?" Yu Chen continued to ask.

"It's all about fate." The young man shook his head slightly, "Since it's fate, let's not talk about the copper-smelling thing." ”

Yu Chen was stunned.

Gratis? White prostitution?

But immediately, he heard the other party's words change, "But today, Xiaosheng can't help Daoyou calculate any hexagrams." ”

"Why?"

"Because of Taoist friends, I have never respected Xiaosheng."

"Dare to ask the master, how can I ever be offended?"

"There is no offense. But Daoyou asked Xiaosheng for divination, but he refused to show up to see him even in his real body, but he lived up to this fate. If you are a Taoist friend who is sincere in divination, please come in person. The young man spoke eloquently, trying to see the poor dagger.

Yu Chen listened to it and called it a good guy!

All right!

Waiting here!

I just want to see my true identity!

If it was an ordinary person, Yu Chen would also be willing to come down from the heavenly burial abyss and meet him in exchange for Wu Wei's whereabouts.

But only in the face of this guy in front of him, no.

- Although he didn't know who the other party was, he had a feeling.

This guy is by no means simple!

If the truth is seen, he may be able to see something.

Wu Wei's news can not be rushed.

But he would never risk his life!

After all, there is no need to go to Beijing in Great Xia, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and there are countless strange people and strange things, so that Yu Chen, who has not fully grown up, takes the risk of exposing his identity.

No way.

"Master, forgive me, this refining world is mixed, the rivers and lakes are sinister, it's better to be cautious when you go out, the master's requirements, I can't do it."

Yu Chen shook his head and said, "Since the master is unwilling, then forget it." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Now, it's the young man's turn to be in a hurry!

He came to Yuhua Shangjing this time to find the judge, and to see with his own eyes what kind of person he was, and to assess whether he was a blessing or a curse for this great world with such a terrifying cause and effect.

Originally, in this vast sea of people, he was like a headless fly, bumping around, and there was no way to cut in.

But today, joy falls from the sky!

The judge came to the door by himself!

He naturally made such a request on the spot, and used the condition of "the other party really meets each other" to divinate the judge.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so vigilant that it was powerless.

The paper figure controlled by the judge walked away without looking back.

If he really let him get into the sea of people, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to find each other in this life.

"Fellow Daoist! Wait! ”

The young man folded his fan and waved his hand.

Yu Chen turned his head and listened to the young man continue: "As Daoyou said, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Therefore, it only needs to answer Xiaosheng a question from Daoyou, and Xiaosheng is also willing to make a hexagram for Daoyou. ”

Yu Chen waved his hand, "If the master asks me about my identity, then there is no need to say anything more." ”

"Of course not." The young man shook his head, "This question will not involve the identity of the Daoist, it is just a hypothetical choice."

But Xiao Sheng also reminded Daoyou that Xiao Sheng, a green cow called 'Jin Ling', can distinguish between truth and falsehood, know right from wrong, even if it is Tianzun and the like, in front of him, he can only speak from his heart, and he can't fake it. ”

The young man pointed to the old green bull beside him and said, "But Daoist friends don't need to worry, if Daoist friends don't want to answer, silence is." ”

Yu Chen thought about it and nodded.

The young man smiled and said,

"At this moment, please forget your identity, your name, and everything about you.

At this moment, Daoyou is just a mortal, the owner of a steamed bun shop, trapped in the hardships of life, the worry of life, running around every day, and being confused for more than 30 years.

But Taoist friends are also lucky, there is a virtuous wife, you were seriously ill and bedridden, she worked hard and tirelessly; There is a sensible child, when other people's children are laughing and having fun, your child has already sympathized with your hard work and went up the mountain to collect medicine for money.

Daoyou's family, although living in poverty, is happy. ”

His voice seemed to have an inexplicable magic power, under the gaze of the old green cow "Jin Li".

Yu Chen's gaze was in a trance for a moment.

At that moment, the world in his eyes collapsed.

In its place, there was a life of destitute mortals.

Fall into a fantasy.

In front of him, there is a woman who is not beautiful but gentle and virtuous, a sensible and obedient child with smart eyes, and a pair of calloused hands of his own.

As for Yu Chen, the Book of Death, the underworld, the last wish, and going to Beijing...... Those real memories seem to be covered with a thick fog, and it is difficult to remember.

At that moment, Yu Chen seemed to be really immersed in that ordinary story.

"Your life is ordinary and mediocre."

The young man's voice sounded again.

"But one day, something changed dramatically.

The emperor came to your county seat, came to your steamed bun shop, and bought one of your steamed buns.

His Majesty took a bite, but he didn't want the hot gravy to burn his tongue.

Bleeding the Son of Heaven is tantamount to a great crime of assassination, and under the anger of Long Yan, His Majesty ordered you and your family, as well as the people of the entire county, to be arrested and interrogated one by one.

But that's just a bun, so why do you say it?

As soon as the results came out, you begged Your Majesty, saying that it was just an ordinary bun, and begged Your Majesty to spare your family and the people of the county.

As a result, Your Majesty is enraged by you—if it was really just an ordinary bun, wouldn't it mean that his arrest was just a joke? The dignified emperor, the respect of a country, was frightened by a bun.

Spread it out, what's the matter?

So, an old eunuch changed his mind and said that you can't make steamed buns at home, and you hurt the dragon's body, and you will be punished. ”

A young voice, eloquent.

And in front of both of them, they seem to be pulled into that story.

Yu Chen knelt on the ground, behind him was his family, as well as countless people in the county, panicked and trembling.

In front of everyone, the emperor's face was cold and hard, the eunuchs were arrogant, and the swords of the officers and soldiers were shining, which was extremely terrifying.

The voice of the young man continues to sound,

"The emperor hates you, hates your buns for burning his mouth, hates your arguments even more, and loses his face.

He wanted to kill you, but he didn't want you to die so happily, so under the advice of the old eunuch, he gave you a choice.

You can not die, but between your family and the people of the county, you can only live one of them.

Bang dang!

An officer with a bronze mask and extremely ruthless surrenders his long knife in front of you.

The emperor is high up and gives you three choices - either kill your wife and children with your own hands, or slaughter those neighbors with your own hands.

If you don't, they'll all die.

On the one hand, there are family members who get along with you in the morning and evening, and on the other hand, there are innocent county people who usually help you.

Who are you going to kill?

Who are you going to save?

The first option is that if you kill your wife and children, you will spend the rest of your life in endless remorse.

The second option, if you kill the people of the county, you will be spurned by the world, and your wife and children will live in guilt for the rest of your life, and three years later, a serious illness will take your wife away, and your son will be hit hard, and he will live on alcohol, and finally die of a hangover.

Or the third option - kill both.

You slaughtered everyone except you, knelt down and kowtowed in the sea of corpses and blood, and told the emperor that the buns made by your wife and children were not good at craftsmanship and injured the dragon's body, and they should be killed! Tell the emperor - the bun skin is from the north of the city, the stuffing is from the south of the city, the steamer is made from the west of the city, and the carbon fire is bought from the south of the city.

If you make this choice, the emperor will think that you are ruthless, loyal, and should be reused for you, and from then on you are in the officialdom, rising steadily, soaring, and finally becoming the face of a country, famous for centuries, admired by thousands of people, as for the life of the county that has long been buried in the years, it has long been forgotten by anyone.

- At that moment, you saw the future of the three choices, and saw the pain or glory behind each choice.

So, what should you do? ”

When the words fell, above the court in the county seat, Yu Chen seemed to be really facing such a difficult situation.

At this moment, he had forgotten all memories of himself for the time being.

became the owner of the bun shop who was at a loss.

When he turned around, he saw a series of eyes looking at him expectantly, an endless desire to survive.

When he looked up, he saw the emperor with a playful look, the smiling eunuch, and the officers and soldiers who were as cold and hard as sculptures, with swords and cold lights!

The young man also stretched out the illusion woven by this story and looked at Yu Chen, who had become the owner of the bun shop.

He said.

"- Fellow Daoist, time waits for no one."
