Chapter 101: Wonderful Man
Lu An stayed in a room, his eyes closed, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, one horizontal and one vertical, fast but not chaotic.
If you look closely, this horizontal and vertical is exactly the same, every time it is the same as before, it is the same position, there is also a person in the sea of spiritual consciousness, holding a sword in his hand, repeating this action, simple horizontal and vertical slashing, has been repeated thousands of times.
Lu An has been on the cloud boat for almost a month, and he stays in the room every day, doing one thing, which is to practice swords.
Basically, I don't go out, except sometimes, to buy some steamed buns, and wine, Lao Xiao wants to come to the wine, Lu An has always been reluctant to drink, and he still hides it in the size, so he can only buy other drinks, this month, the most lively auction house and ring, Lu An has not been to once.
His eyes slowly opened, he spit out a mouthful of turbidity, picked up the wine glass beside him, poured a glass, drank it all, and it was refreshing, and Lu An's whole person suddenly became energetic.
However, after glancing at the wine jar on the table that was empty again, Lu An sighed and went out to buy wine again.
Now Lu An enjoys this quiet life very much, but he has a little resistance to going out unconsciously, but the wine is gone, and Lu An can only go out hard.
As a result, just after walking a few steps, everyone else looked at him with a strange look, and even with a hint of disgust, Lu An was very puzzled, and he didn't know what was going on.
But Lu An still took care of himself, and came to the old place leisurely, "Five catties of steamed buns, five catties of beef, one catty of peanuts, one catty of pickles, and a jar of plum wine." Lu An said skillfully to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er, who already had a trace of dislike, heard this, his disdainful eyes were even worse, and he even showed an expression of not wanting to deal with him.
Lu An was very puzzled, and asked directly: "Why do you look at me like this? ”
"This guest officer, the main thing is that your image is really a little unbearable to look at, too sloppy, with messy hair, stubble, and you are wearing such an ordinary white robe, this outfit really makes people look a little...."Xiao Er didn't finish speaking, but the disdain in his eyes said it all.
Lu An smiled dumbly, threw a spirit crystal, and said with a smile: "For your sake, this one is for you." ”
Xiao Er's eyes suddenly lit up, his waist bent down unconsciously, and he thanked Lu An again and again, with a smile on his face, the face in front of him had long since disappeared, only showing a look of respect.
Lu An looked at this little er, not knowing how to respond, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
After paying the money, and then putting the steamed bun wine into the size object, Lu An staggered back to the room, touched the stubble on his chin, and was already a little prickly, and then a golden sword qi appeared on his hand, wiped it, and instantly shaved all the stubble, and then took a basin of water, washed his face, and freshened up.
"Honor, don't forget. Lu An muttered.
"It's time to go down, I don't know where it's now?" Lu An suddenly realized.
A month ago, Lu An got on a cloud boat at random, thinking that he would sit wherever he wanted to see if he was lucky.
In this way, he sat for a month without knowing why, and now where he is, Lu An doesn't know.
Lu An went out and inquired casually, and learned that he was now on the border of the Han Dynasty, and he was about to enter the Great Zhou further south, and he would land in a border city called Zuo'an City today.
After that, Lu An walked around the cloud boat, bought some things at random, such as pill charms and the like, as well as all kinds of messy things, and spent Lu An dozens of spirit crystals, a burst of heartache, and now the remaining spirit crystals on his body are no longer enough, only two spirit crystal essences, more than 100 spirit crystals, this is all Lu An's belongings, of course, there are still a lot of gold, silver and copper coins, which can ensure that Lu An will not starve to death during the journey.
After shaking around, the cloud boat just began to land, and Lu An immediately followed the flow of people down the cloud boat, and then entered the city.
"Zuo Ancheng, doesn't it look very big, it's a lot smaller than Yuanmou City and Peicheng. This was Lu An's first reaction after coming down, a very small city.
"Although the sparrow is small, why is this boy sighing here?" suddenly came an old man's voice behind him.
Lu An's eyes shrank, and he quickly looked back and saw that it was an old Taoist priest, wearing a somewhat shabby Taoist robe, but it was quite neat, and he couldn't help relaxing, "Old man, I don't know what advice you have?"
The old Taoist priest smiled, showed an embarrassed but polite smile, and asked, "Childe, is it a fortune teller?" ”
Lu An was stunned, waved his hand, and replied, "No need, thank you." ”
Seeing that Lu An was about to leave, the old Taoist priest hurriedly stopped in front of Lu An, "Childe, let's count a hexagram, don't ask for money, hehe." ”
Lu An's face was slightly displeased, but he still shook his head.
The old Taoist priest's face suddenly became aggrieved, and he said sadly: "Childe, I haven't opened a store today, I haven't made a penny, it's getting late, maybe I'm going to be hungry again today." ”
Lu An still ignored this annoying old Taoist priest, waved his hand, bypassed this person, and walked straight forward.
As soon as he took two steps, he heard the old Taoist priest cursing behind him, "Little Wang Ba Calf, relying on his own little money is great, sooner or later he will not die well!"
Lu An smiled dumbly, shook his head, pretended not to hear, and then continued to walk towards Zuo'an City.
After looking at the sky, it seemed that it was indeed not early, and it was already dark, so I found a small inn, asked for a room, ordered two dishes, a pot of wine, and drank alone.
The next day, Lu An was eating breakfast at the bun shop next door, but he ran into the old Taoist priest again, the old Taoist priest was looking at the freshly baked buns, his face was sluggish, his mouth was constantly swallowing saliva, and his mouth kept chanting words, his hands were clenched very tightly, and he looked at a loss.
Lu An also shook his head for a while, looking at the old Taoist priest who was so old, his heart couldn't help but soften, he bought two steamed buns and handed them over, "Eat." ”
When the old Taoist priest saw the steamed buns that were suddenly handed over, he suddenly burst into tears, and almost cried, Lu An saw this inexplicable reaction, and directly stuffed the steamed buns into the arms of the old Taoist, and then returned to the place just now, drank soy milk, and ignored the old Taoist.
Lao Dao sat down with a steamed bun, showed an embarrassed but smiling smile again, and asked timidly, "Can I ask for another bowl of soy milk?"
Lu An stopped what he was doing, glanced up at the old Taoist, looked at his choked expression, and his expectant eyes, raised his eyebrows, and nodded, "Okay." Then he beckoned for a bowl of soy milk.
The old Taoist priest took a bite of soy milk, a mouthful of steamed buns, and ate it in two or three clicks, which was regarded as a gobble, and after eating, he patted his stomach comfortably, with a satisfied face.
Lu An looked at the old Taoist opposite for a long time and asked, "Have you eaten enough?"
The old Taoist priest held a toothpick in his mouth, nodded, and replied: "Gongzi is really the reincarnation of a living Buddha, saving people from fire and water." ”
Lu An frowned, his face darkened, "Aren't you a Taoist priest?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he quickly diverted the topic, "Childe, why did you come to this small city?"
Lu An did not respond.
Lao Dao found that Lu An didn't seem to be very interested in the topic, so he coughed lightly and said: "Lao Dao has never eaten food that comes from the past, but since Childe has let Lao Dao have a full meal, why does Lao Dao calculate a hexagram for Childe for free?
Lu An shook his head and replied, "No." ”
"Is it really not necessary? Although Lao Dao has no other skills, but the fortune-telling thing is still very accurate, and the custody will not disappoint the son, and he can only calculate one hexagram a day, and it is not allowed if there are more. Lao Dao emphasized.
Lu An continued to shake his head and replied, "No, since it's so accurate, then why didn't you calculate that you would be hungry this morning? ”
Lao Dao was slightly stunned, "Didn't you come here and then you won't be hungry?"
"Oh, are you still quite accurate, it seems that you have used this hexagram today. Lu An smiled.
Lao Dao's face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
Lu An smiled and was about to get up, but was directly stopped by Lao Dao.
"Childe, can you listen to the old Tao a few words before leaving, there is absolutely no harm in seeing each other, and we can say that we have met twice in one day. The old Taoist priest said.
Lu An looked at the old Taoist priest's iron-hearted expression, nodded helplessly, and sat down again, "Since you have to say, change places, it's a bit inappropriate to occupy the boss's position." ”
Lao Dao's eyes lit up, "I know a good place." ”
Lu An stretched out his finger and gestured to lead the way.
The old Taoist priest took Lu An to a teahouse, and because it was still early, there were almost no people here, and the two sat on chairs casually.
"Childe, don't worry, it's quiet here, and it's cheap. The old man smiled.
Lu Anhuan looked at the old Taoist priest interestingly, and asked for a pot of tea and some pastries, "Let's start." ”
Lao Dao smiled, "Thank you, Childe." His expression instantly became serious, and he straightened his clothes, giving people the appearance of a light and enlightened person, and then took out three copper coins from his arms.
His mouth began to mutter, and then he threw the three copper coins directly on the table.
The copper coin suddenly began to spin and jump, and it didn't turn on the table for a long time, and seeing that the speed of the rotation slowed down, it looked like it was about to be turned over, but to the surprise of the two, the three copper coins were all stuck in the gap on the table and stood up.
"What is this?" asked Lu An with a suppressed smile.
The old Taoist priest's face was flushed, his fingers pointed at the three copper coins, and he was speechless.
frowned, thought for a while, then slapped the table and shouted: "Childe, looking at the hexagram like you, this life should not be something that ordinary people like me can calculate, it can be counted beyond the Five Elements, outside the Three Realms, and the future must be the dragon and phoenix among people." ”
Lu An sighed softly, and then looked at Lao Dao without speaking.
After the old Taoist priest finished saying that, the whole person returned to his previous style, and the wind was light.
Immediately facing this hexagram, he muttered, what is the future, academic success, promotion of officials, soaring into the sky, soaring clouds, martial arts prosperity, etc., basically said all the good things again.
Lu An looked at Lao Dao with a radiant expression, spitting and talking there, and sighed in his heart, he was really a warlock, but he didn't interrupt him, let him talk like this.
I picked up the teacup, blew it gently, took a sip, and looked at the steaming, crowded, and bustling streets outside, and I couldn't help but feel much better.
The old Taoist priest spat a whole pot of tea, and finally stopped, "Childe, do you think there is something wrong with what I said?"
Lu An immediately came to his senses, nodded, and said with a smile: "No problem, it's very good." ”
The old Taoist priest suddenly laughed, "Thank you for your approval." ”
Lu An thought for a while and asked, "Why don't you calculate a hexagram for me?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Then what does this hexagram want to do?"
"Just give me the math where I'm going, right?" replied Lu An.
The old Taoist priest nodded, "Is it okay to travel, this is no problem, just let the old Taoist send the son." ”
After saying this, he immediately picked up three copper coins and threw them down on the table, this time the copper coins quickly turned over, Lao Dao breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the copper coins, and then put his fingers together, and nodded from time to time.
"How?" asked Lu An.
"Childe had better go south this time, there is a fate in that direction. The old way replied.
"Nan, isn't that going to be out of the Han Dynasty?" Lu An asked puzzled.
"It's a drop, but the hexagram does show that, and it also shows that if you go south, what you want will come true. The old way replied.
"All wishes come true?" Lu An muttered.
Lao Dao nodded.
Lu An thought for a while, the original plan was to go from south to north, and finally to Chang'an, if you listen to this old Taoist priest, wouldn't it be from north to south, going farther and farther, and all your wishes come true, does it mean the essence of the five elements on the stone slab? In addition to this, he may not have anything he particularly wants.
After thinking about it, he nodded to the old Taoist priest, indicating that he understood.
The old Taoist priest looked at Lu An's salty expression, very interesting, and immediately got up, hugged his fist at Lu An and said, "Son, there will be a period later, and no one owes anyone now." ”
When Lu An heard this, he smiled again, nodded, and signaled to the old man to take it easy.
The old Taoist priest put away the copper coin, just walked a few steps, stopped again, and said to Lu An: "The son is so bodhisattva-hearted, the old Taoist has the courage to send the son a word." ”
"Oh, what's that?" asked Lu An.
Lao Dao immediately replied: "The spirit of chivalry, the sword of a scholar, sharp and unfavorable, thick but not heavy, the avenue is also." ”
After speaking, the old Taoist left the teahouse without looking back.
Lu An tasted these words carefully, felt that it was very tasteful, and when he turned his head to look, the old way was gone.
"He's a wonderful person, too. ”
