Chapter 163: Bamboo Sticks
Occasionally, I still want to write about my daily life, but I just think the happy atmosphere is really good.
At the mouth of the alley near the main street on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, there is a fortune-telling stall where the stall owner is an old Taoist priest wearing an old Taoist robe and a gray beard.
"People nowadays don't even have basic trust." The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and stared at the bamboo sticks on the table.
Although he sighed, there was no trace of melancholy on his face.
"Yo, old man, hasn't opened today?" The vendor next to him joked with a smile.
The old Taoist priest has been here for a while, whether it is a man or a woman, young or old, rich or poor, he only accepts three documents.
Never on credit, never free.
The old Taoist priest was not angry when he was teased, and said with a smile: "The time has not yet come, and if you are fated, you will naturally come to divination." ”
The vendor smacked his lips, took out a pack of steamed buns from his shop, and walked to the old man's shop: "Alas, I don't know what you're trying to do." ”
"After so many days, I haven't made a lot of money."
"No, no, no."
The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Divination pays attention to a fate, and this way is not for money. ”
"Tsk."
The vendor made a gesture to take back the steamed buns: "Then the old fairy shouldn't need to eat." ”
The old Taoist priest hurriedly stopped: "Don't, the old man hasn't arrived in Bigu yet, and he still needs to taste all the delicious food in the world." ”
The old house of the Li family, Qin Shou left after explaining all the matters.
When passing by Suzaku Street, an old voice suddenly stopped Qin Shou.
"This son, I see that Your Excellency is magnificent, his appearance is extraordinary, the heavenly court is full, and the horns of his head are grand, and the future is definitely not a thing in the pool."
"Today I am fortunate to be able to give you a hexagram, this is the luck of my three lives!"
What he said at this table was called sincerity, but in Qin Shou's opinion, it was just a charlatan
After all, aren't the fake Taoist priests in the movies of the previous life all such a set of rhetoric?
Qin Shou frowned, but still stopped.
Sideways looking: "This old man, can you not pull my sleeve?" ”
"I don't want to divination."
But I saw that the old Taoist priest was holding Qin Shou's sleeves with both hands, and the silk platform had no intention of letting go.
"Childe, you are a celestial star, and the old Tao must give you a divination."
Qin Shou was completely impatient, and wanted to forcibly shake off the old man's hand, and he stretched out his hand to break it away, using a little force, but it was still extremely restrained.
After all, the Taoist priest in front of him seems to be in his last years, and if he uses too much force, he is afraid that he will directly throw off half of the old man's life.
But who knew that the old man's hand was like a copper tong, and it didn't move at all.
This made Qin Shou a little surprised, you know, at this moment, he always has some Lu Bu divine power, even if he uses a little force, it is definitely something that very people can easily resist.
But this old way didn't seem to be particularly difficult, which made Qin Shou a little interested, and the hand holding the old way's wrist added a little more force.
At this moment, Lao Dao was a little unbearable, his face flushed, and he begged for mercy again and again: "Don't don't, don't stop." ”
Qin Shou: "....."
These words were full of different meanings, and suddenly caused strange eyes to be cast around.
Although Qin Shou was thick-skinned, he didn't want people to mistakenly think that he had the good of Longyang, so he hurriedly let go of his hand.
Said helplessly: "Old man, don't you just want money when you say so much." ”
"How much is your divination, I'll give it to you."
"Sanwen."
The old Taoist priest stretched out three fingers: "As long as Sanwen." ”
Hearing this, Qin Shou was slightly stunned, he originally blindly said that this old Taoist would open his mouth, but who knew that the old Taoist said that it was indeed very cheap.
"Sanwen, right?"
Qin Shou took out ten copper coins from his purse, spread his palm and handed it to Lao Dao: "I'll give you ten wen, I don't need you to divination, don't pester me anymore." ”
Who knew that the old Taoist shook his head, took three copper coins in Qin Shou's palm, and said: "Poor Dao divination, only accept three texts, and if you receive it, you will have to divination." ”
Qin Shou twisted his eyebrows and looked at the old man with an indifferent face, only to feel that the other party's reaction seemed to be a little uncorrect.
was still pestering himself in vain before, but now his performance is extremely bland, as if he was waiting for himself on purpose.
"What if I don't want to divination?"
"The poor road does not hinder it."
"Oh?" Qin Shou raised his eyebrows: "Why is this?" ”
"Fate, fate, the way is fate, I left my son twice is fate, if the son is willing to let the old way divination, then it is fate, this is fate."
Lao Dao chuckled and said: "But if the son refuses, then there is no fate, and he will not stand up. . .
"Besides, accepting the son's three articles is to have a cause and effect, and with this cause and effect, I will see you again in the future."
Listening to the old man's words, Qin Shou took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that this old Taoist word seemed to be a little interesting.
"Oh? Then why do you have to get married to me? Qin Shou was a little curious.
Lao Dao just shook his head and said, "The hexagram is like this, and the heavenly machine refers to it." ”
Anyway, it was still early, and there was no urgent business to deal with in the afternoon, so Qin Shou didn't mind spending time here.
Slowly walking to the old man's fortune-telling booth, Qin Shou squinted, slowly took out a piece from the lottery holder on the table and threw it to Lao Dao, but he didn't read anything written on the lottery.
"Hey." The old Taoist priest grabbed the bamboo stick in the air and said with a smile: "This fate is even if it is concluded." ”
Qin Shou smiled and said, "It's not counting, I just want to get rid of this cause and effect as soon as possible." ”
The old Taoist priest didn't speak, looked at the sign in his hand, but quietly frowned.
Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent, and everyone on the side became irrelevant to him.
After a long time, the old Taoist priest raised his head hesitantly and said slowly: "Lord Wang, there are some things that don't seem to be said here. ”
The old Taoist priest did not speak, but walked to the table, dipped a bamboo stick in water, and wrote the word "emperor" on the table.
Qin Shou nodded, this is not surprising to him, his reputation in Chang'an City is indeed not small, if the old Taoist priest pretended not to know before, and now he said it, it is nothing.
"Is that all?"
Qin Shou asked.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and continued to write a word on the desktop: Bing.
Until he saw this word, a trace of essence flashed in Qin Shou's eyes.
This soldier word really made Qin Shou nervous.
The Thirty Iron Eagle Guard is Qin Shou's biggest reliance now, and it was only summoned yesterday, except for Qin Shou and Fan Li, there will be no third person who knows about the existence of the Iron Eagle Guard.
But this old Taoist priest pointed it out directly, and said that this was not something that should be said in public.
Qin Shou frowned and sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I will be annoyed and angry and get rid of you directly?" ”
The old Taoist priest shook his head with a smile: "Lord Wang, there are words next, please look at it." ”
Then, Lao Dao wrote the word "defeat" on the table.
"Emperor" means born in an imperial family.
"Bing" means the appearance of the Iron Eagle Guard.
But this "defeat" is not to say that he will lose in the battle for succession in the future, or that he will lose in the conquest of the Turks a few months later.
"The three words represent the past, present and future of the prince."
The old Taoist priest said unhurriedly.
