Chapter 222: Taoist Beggars
Leaving the lakeside, the pale-faced Gu Meng left with Bai Congee, but he was not in a hurry to leave Beiling and go south, but went to find a town first.
This is because Gu Ming's injuries are very serious, and he relies on his own pills, I am afraid that it will not get better in three or five years, and secondly, because it is difficult to leave Nanling, neither of them is willing to go south early and return to Nanling.
Gu Ming's idea is also simple, at this time, Nanling doesn't know how many people are beating his attention, and it is good to run to Beiling's side, at least for the time being, there is no need to be afraid.
Bai Congee was a little better at medicine, so he had to take Gu Meng to find a place to buy medicine and cook medicine.
Gu Meng was seriously injured and moved slowly, and when they couldn't see the lake at all, it was already getting late, and they found a shelter in the mountain pass, and the two of them made a fire to keep warm, and by the way, Gu Luo said something about the emperor's tomb, which made Bai Congee a little interested, and she asked with interest: "That Taishi Ling really lived for a thousand years?"
Gu Meng said: "It's useless, and in the end, it's not a defeat." ”
When he spoke, he still had a little more respect for Emperor Daqi, who was already dead at this moment.
Among all the emperors he encountered, except for his father, Emperor Daqi was actually the best person for him.
Bai Congee sighed with emotion: "Conspiracy and intrigue are not worth a down-to-earth." ”
Gu Meng didn't answer, this is not entirely true, if you really say that, in the end, only a character like Emperor Daqi will give the other party a heavy blow in the thousand-year-old layout, if it were someone else, I am afraid that it would have been calculated so long ago that there would be no bones left.
In fact, in this way, after all, after the famous family, they have to go further than small cultivators like them.
Take Bai Congee as an example, she is a disciple of Chongwenlou, and there is Sangong standing behind her, which is not something that ordinary people can provoke.
Speaking of this, Gu Ming, who was about to think of his cheap master, sighed, but on this trip to the Imperial Tomb, he saw a wisp of sword qi from Wanyun Zhenren and saved his life, which made Gu Meng feel a little more intimate with Zheshan.
After all, it was the First Sword Sect thousands of years ago, and it had some hole cards.
Although I don't know when it will break out.
Thinking about it, Gu Meng felt very tired, his eyelids were very heavy, and after a while, he fell asleep like this.
Bai Congee turned his head, looked at Gu Ming, raised his eyebrows, and didn't speak again.
After one night, the next day I continued on my way, and finally before sunset, I saw the outline of a small town in the distance.
Gu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at this town that was no different from the town of Nanling, and rubbed his head.
The white porridge looked up, and it turned out that at this time, it had begun to rain.
A cold wind blew, and the white porridge remembered that it was already autumn.
......
......
In the town, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple in the west.
The wooden door creaked open, and the ash on the eaves fell down, and the Taoist priest sitting under the eaves shook a little, but the snoring was still there.
The Taoist priest had a scruffy beard, and his blue robe could no longer be seen in its original appearance, and there were oil stains and stains everywhere, and his black hair was pinned with a wooden hairpin, but the hair was even a little reflective in the skylight.
I don't know how many days it hasn't been washed.
The person who came was a woman dressed in pear-yellow clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella with brilliant yellow flowers painted on the surface of the umbrella, which was a common style in the town, and the oil-paper umbrella was placed at the door by her, but she trotted all the way to the table, looking at the snoring Taoist priest with some hesitation.
Taoyuan Town came to a Taoist priest a few years ago, when he first came to the street stall to tell the hexagram, the calculation is very accurate, plus he has a good hand, so in the previous few years, the people in the town are very fond of coming to him to help with the fortune telling, write a letter to the family, anyway, it is not an eyesore, and this Taoist priest is also relying on these two skills, in Taoyuan Town is also considered to have taken root, and later he moved his fortune-telling stall into a small Taoist temple in the west of the city, the Taoist temple was originally incense OK, but later the old Taoist priest who watched the old Taoist died, he did not have an apprentice, the Taoist temple declined like this, originally this Taoist priest entered the Taoist temple, the first incense was also OK, but I don't know why, then he became more and more inaccurate in his fortune telling, and his letters to people became more and more perfunctory, and over time, the people in the town were not stupid, so they stopped coming to him.
The Taoist temple was deserted like this, and no one came for ten days and half a month on weekdays.
The woman standing at the table, listening to the snoring, hesitated for a long time, with some regret in her eyes, and finally shook her head and turned around to leave.
At this moment, the sloppy Taoist priest yawned, then rubbed his eyes and smiled: "The girl is here to tell the hexagram?"
The woman who had already given birth to the idea of retreating was about to leave, but seeing the eyes of this sloppy Taoist priest, she couldn't move for a while, this Taoist priest has a bad reputation in the town in recent years, but a few years ago, it was really good.
I don't know where the idea came from, so the woman sat down, looked at the Taoist priest and said weakly, "Does the Taoist know what I want to count?"
The sloppy Taoist priest was sitting in danger, "When the poor Taoist looks at the girl's eyebrows, he knows that the girl is worrying about something these days, except for the things of men and women, it will not be anything else." ”
The woman opened her mouth and said in surprise: "The Taoist is really accurate!"
The sloppy Taoist priest smiled faintly, trying his best to pretend to be a fairy wind and bones, "The most difficult thing in the world is the matter of this man and woman, but what the girl wants to ask is the most difficult thing in the matter of men and women." ”
The woman's eyebrows were full of worry, but she didn't tell it.
Seeing this, the sloppy Taoist priest went straight to the point and said: "The girl is entangled between two men, wanting to rely on one of them, but I don't know if he can give the girl a future. ”
The woman's eyes widened again, as if surprised.
The sloppy Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and said: "The poor road is not as useless as the rumors, it's just that the world is ignorant, and the poor road is unwilling to argue with them......"
"Can the Taoist do the math for me?"
"It's a little difficult......"
When the heavy silver bag fell into the palm of the sloppy Taoist priest, he smiled happily, "What's so difficult about this, wait for the poor Dao to come!"
The sloppy Taoist priest took out a few copper coins from his arms, threw them at the table, and then glanced at them casually, and after a while, the sloppy Taoist priest smiled and said: "The old man will not live long, at most three months, the little guy is not sincere, the girl should not be deceived." ”
Word by word, although it was not said explicitly, it was already clear, the woman's eyes were full of disappointment, but she didn't say anything more, she stood up sullenly, and didn't say a word.
The sloppy Taoist priest said solemnly: "The girl should choose carefully, if she is not careful, she will be killed." ”
The woman frowned, as if she wanted to refute a few words, but it seemed to be something unspeakable, so she didn't speak, but turned her head and ran towards the outside.
The sloppy Taoist priest didn't chase after her, didn't even get up, just watched the woman disappear into the rain, and finally set his eyes on the umbrella in front of the door.
Retracting his gaze, the sloppy Taoist priest rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was a little tired.
"Okay, everyone is gone, what are you pretending to be?" A crisp voice sounded, and a half-grown child swaggered in from the front of the gate, holding the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, his clothes were tattered, worse than the sloppy Taoist priest, like a beggar.
The child sat down on the steps with a big grin and stretched out his hand, "If you give less this time, I won't give you the news next time, I won't give you news, and I'll starve to death when the time comes, don't blame the master!"
It turns out that there is some divine calculation, but it is just a long preparation.
The sloppy Taoist priest generously took out the largest piece of broken silver from the money bag and put it in the little beggar's hand, and the painful expression on his face flashed.
"Yo, but also, how do you know this girl is coming to tell fortunes?"
The little beggar unceremoniously put away the money, turned his head and said with a smile: "You are really a bit of a god." ”
The sloppy Taoist priest said angrily: "This is the secret at the bottom of the box, I have to tell you the fuck, and the poor Dao will really starve to death in the future." ”
"Yo Yo, don't say goodbye, tell me about this, wait for me to make a living in the future. ”
The sloppy Taoist priest turned his head, covered his forehead, and said meaningfully: "You can't fuck say this, it won't work if you say it." ”
