Chapter XII

In the hands of ordinary fortune tellers, there will be a flag.

There is everything written on the flag, but all the meanings are nothing more than what you know three thousand years in advance and three thousand years later, and you are not allowed to ask for money and so on.

To put it bluntly, in fact, it is to tell the people that I am a fortune teller and a thief.

Just before the loss of the town house stone, Lin Anyan also went to Qingyun Mountain, and happened to discuss the issue of folk fortune-telling with Yan Chuxuan at that time.

"Are those fortune tellers really so spiritual, as if the people can tell whatever they ask, and they are accurate. ”

Yan Xuanji's answer to this is very interesting.

"They don't allow me not to know, my master asked me to calculate my marriage with Jinmo by myself, I can't understand it after three years of calculation, if they really know the world, they won't be able to tell fortunes on the streets. ”

After speaking, Yan Xuanji also recited some commonly used mantras for fortune telling, such as a handful of ashes in front of your house, but when you see the wind blowing the ashes, good luck never turns, and bad luck is full of life.

Just this mantra, if it is put on different people, there can be different solutions.

The most straightforward thing is that the feng shui at home is not good, and there is something in front of the door to block good luck, and you need to change the feng shui.

By extension, it can be said that you have provoked something unclean and have been riddled with bad luck.

The most, one could even say that the weather has been bad recently, and you need to move to a windy place and blow away bad luck.

And similar to this set of words, there are thousands of paragraphs if not tens of thousands of paragraphs.

Yan Xuanji said, these words seem straightforward, but in fact, they don't talk about the problem, and those who listen to it will inevitably associate themselves with themselves.

This person is most afraid of association, and if he thinks of it, he can also give you things that can't be beaten by eight poles.

If you want to say that it doesn't work, these words are actually derived from Taoist books, and they are somewhat interesting in them.

If you want to talk about the spirit, in order to make it easy to say, and in order to make people unable to guess it, many of these words are patchwork.

Sometimes two sentences are completely contrary in Taoist classics, and he can get together.

Since then, Lin Anyan, who didn't believe in Jianghu warlocks, didn't have a good impression of these fortune tellers.

However, this old man was the first one Lin Anyan had encountered, and he felt that it was too fake.

Because on the old man's banner, what was written was not a bad compensation, but a couplet.

The upper link is: You are all in the world

The next link is: Who has been let go of the underworld throughout the ages

Looking at this couplet, I am afraid that this old man usually deceives those who have done too many bad things to tell fortunes in his place to seek peace of mind.

However, what made Lin Anyan feel funny was that the source of this couplet was next to him.

At the gate of the City God Temple in Jingbei City, exactly two sentences were written.

I saw Lin Anyan ask with pretended concern: "Old man, do you have bad eyes?" ”

"Yes, yes, the old man told fortunes for others when he was young, and accidentally leaked the secret of heaven, God saw that I was for the sake of saving people's lives, and only accepted my two tricks, and didn't want my life. ”

Hmph!

Lin Anyan looked at the old man contemptuously and said mockingly:

"Old man, I advise you to go back, there are a lot of people over there, you are so deceitful, you can't deceive anyone here. ”

Hearing Lin Anyan say that he was a liar, the old man didn't have any reaction on his face, but asked plainly why he couldn't be deceived.

"Nonsense, the two lines of poetry copied on your flag are hanging at the gate of the City God Temple next to you at this time, and even the signboard is copied, who believes that you have the ability. ”

Hearing Lin Anyan's words, the old man suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, the shaft is ignorant. Do you know where the couplet at the gate of the temple comes from?"

"You won't say that you wrote it, right? This City God Temple has a history of 100 years since the capital of Jingbei in the Great Liang Dynasty. ”

Saying that, Lin Anyan no longer planned to pay attention to the old man, and pulled Enyi to leave.

Who knew that the old man seemed to recognize Lin Anyan, and when he heard Lin Anyan's footsteps getting farther and farther away, he trotted after him regardless of the danger of blindness.

"Boy, wait for the old man, the old man has been seeing you since the morning, and he thinks that your Yin Tang is black, and there is a cold air around you, and if you say goodbye today, I am afraid that you will die soon. ”

Just imagine, who is walking on the road and suddenly hears a person saying that he is dying and will not be angry.

In particular, Lin Anyan has pointed out that the old man is a liar.

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Anyan turned around and scolded angrily:

"Old man, you've been eyeing the master since the morning, right? You don't fight the idea of so many wealthy people in Jingbei City, you have to fight my idea, you have to eat the fattest meat, right?"

"The kid is arrogant, there are countless famous nobles in Jingbei City, you are the oldest, the old man really wants to save you." ”

Hearing this, Lin Anyan unconsciously stopped, turned around and shouted:

"No matter how many rich people there are in Jingbei City, my Lin family is also the first. ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately stopped his pursuit.

Lin Anyan thought that it was the name of the Lin family, the first merchant of the Liang Dynasty, and suppressed the old man.

He was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the old man behind him ask in an almost trembling voice, "Are you the Lin family?"

"The master is Lin Anyan, the son of the Lin family. ”

Hearing the name Lin Anyan, the old man who had just straightened his waist fell directly to the ground weakly at this moment.

Enyi thought that the old man had fallen, and hurriedly went up to help.

She is kind by nature, even if Lin Anyan has pointed out that the old man is a liar, she can't bear to see a blind old man sitting there alone.

However, when Enyi approached, she found that the old man had his head down, his face full of grievances, as if he had been wronged the greatest in the world.

"Are you alright, old man, do you want me to help you up?"

The old man only shook his head when he heard Enyi's concerned greeting.

"The old man is fine, let the girl bother. I just remembered some of the past, and for a while I was a little unsteady on my feet, so I just had a break. ”

After repeatedly confirming that the old man was okay, Enyi got up to leave.

"Girl, in your previous life, in order to fulfill a bad fate, you harmed the lives of others, so you are in today's situation. Remember, as long as your heart is clean, you are clean in God's eyes, and you should no longer be presumptuous or even have thoughts of being too small. ”

"In addition, because of your bad fate in your previous life, you are destined to love in this life. ”

But the most important thing in love is how much you are willing to give for him, and whether you can give him everything when he needs you one day. ”

The old man's words were incredulous.

Everyone thought that she was favored by Lin Anyan, she didn't have to pick up other guests, she had fine clothes and food every day, and she would have the opportunity to enter the Lin Mansion as a concubine in the future, and she was the most beautiful woman in Hanyue Tower.

However, what even Lin Anyan didn't know was that for countless lonely nights, she was resentful that her dirty body was not worthy of her sweetheart, and even wanted this life countless times.

However, the old man spoke her mind and told her to live well.

"He'll need me in the future, right?"

"I hope so. ”

The old man replied a little helplessly.

Seeing that Enyi and the old liar were grinding and chirping, he didn't know what he was talking about, and Lin Anyan, who was upset, stepped forward and prepared to take Enyi to Laozi Temple to ask for a signature.

However, when Lin Anyan approached, the old man suddenly grabbed his clothes and said in that old voice:

"Lin Anyan, the old man has not arrived, and he can't save you today, even if the old man owes you a life. If you can survive this catastrophe, one day the old man will give you back your life. ”

After that, the old man took out a book in his arms with trembling hands and forcibly stuffed it into Lin Anyan's hand.

At this moment, Lin Anyan was already upset by this old man's anger, and he still cared about what he said.

I saw Lin Anyan pull away the old man's hand, hold the book in one hand and Enyi in the other, and leave the City God Temple quickly.

When Lin Anyan's footsteps were so far away that he couldn't hear clearly, the old man held the flag with both hands and stood up with difficulty.

Thinking of Lin Anyan's words about the couplet on his flag, the old man couldn't help but look in the direction of the City God Temple.

At that time, Emperor Daliang personally served his sword, and the scene of carving words at the gate of the City God Temple with his sword slowly appeared in the old man's mind.

"Retribution, retribution, no wonder God only needed his own pair of tricks to leave this rotten life, I'm afraid it was used to pay off debts today. ”

Among the people who left Laozi Temple at the latest that day, some people saw Li Mo, the junior brother of the head of Qingyun Mountain, who was cleaning up the stall and preparing to rest, knelt on the ground and kowtowed after seeing an old man in black until the old man walked away.

When people of later generations looked through the history books, they found that the events that happened during the entire Tianzhao period were very few recorded, and even many years were all brushed aside.

However, on this day of the twentieth year of Tianzhao, there was a sentence alone.

Historical records: In the beginning of the autumn of the twentieth year of Tianzhao, the immortals returned to Beijing.

Since he had a fortune this morning, Qi Liyun has never had a chance to practice again.

After breakfast, she was ready to pack up.

Girls are like this, packing things is deceptively simple, and every time they start at the beginning, they can't stop.

She carefully opened the baggage that accompanied her, which contained the money she had saved over the years.

Although they are self-sufficient in food and clothing in the village, the military advisor still gives everyone some money every month.

He said that a penny can stump a hero.

In the world, although you can't be greedy for money, you must not have spare money.

It's rare to come to Jingbei City once, and now that I'm leaving, I have to bring something back to the military division.

It is difficult to save what you eat, and you are afraid of spoiling it when you travel a long way.

Clothes are not practical in the village, and the military advisors never care about them.

Thinking about it, Qi Liyun still didn't know what to buy, and he had a headache.

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching outside the door.

Only glanced back, and it was dressed in red again.

Qi Liyun, who thought it was the cuckoo who went and returned, did not look back, continued to bow his head and sort out his luggage, but said:

"Don't worry, Miss Cuckoo, I won't tell you about Ning Xiang deciding to be a maid in the Lin Mansion. ”

"What is Ning Xiangju?
