Volume 1 Chapter 4 The Mountains and Rivers Are Suitable

"Old man Pang, you quickly show Lao Tzu why his gambling luck is so bad during this time, whether he has hit an evil spirit. Damn, Lao Tzu has been losing for five or six days in a row, betting on the big and the small, and the small out of the big. Don't you boast that you know everything in the sky and on the earth, quickly calculate it for Lao Tzu. ”

With a loud shout, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy from a small town sat on a small bench opposite the blind fortune teller.

When the old blind man heard this, he grinned. A pair of wizened hands stretched out of their sleeves and brushed their thinned beards.

"Xiao Jia, the old man told you a long time ago that you are short of gold in the five elements, and the dark star is according to your fate. You are born a poor ghost, if you don't lose, then who should lose? Not only will you lose every gamble, but you are also destined not to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and you will be like the old man and me, and I will fight as a bachelor for the rest of my life. You should come to worship the old man as a teacher, and wait for me to teach you this ancestral physiognomy technique, and inherit my mantle in the future. ”

When the young man heard the words of the old blind man, his face immediately turned annoyed, and he scolded: "You old man, you talk nonsense all day long. Lao Tzu, I will fly in the future, and I will be rich and noble. Not to mention three wives and four concubines, at least one wife and two concubines must be had. You old blind dog can't spit out ivory, I still learn from you, look at your poor swishing appearance, you don't even have the money to buy a coffin board, and you want Lao Tzu to tell fortunes like you. Phew, no wonder no one in this town comes to patronize your business, doesn't know how to tell fortunes, and squirts all over the place. After leaving, Lao Tzu went to the land temple in the west to burn incense and turn his fortune. ”

The young man seemed to be very familiar with the old man, and stood up scoldingly, and did not forget to kick the bench down as he left.

"Xiao Jia, don't burn incense. Hurry home, take your broken bronze mirror, and guard the stone bridge east of town, and make a good deal for you. ”

The old man smiled and listened to the young man's angry scolding, but he was not annoyed at all, and listened to the young man's footsteps leaving quickly, and did not forget to stretch his neck to say hello.

"This son, what do you want to calculate? marriage, future, career, illness, and the old way are all good at it, and it will be effective. Look at my banner, I know yin and yang! If you don't have any real skills in your hands, do you dare to use this signboard? ”

Turning around, the old man asked with a smile on his face again as he asked the young man who had just been kicked up on the small bench opposite.

The young man in Mai who sat down was Zhuo Yuming, who had just stood on the side of the road and watched the whole process of the young man surnamed Jia and the old man making a fuss. The blind old man just squatted in the corner of the wall, and there was no half of the aura fluctuation on his body. Even if he was just an ordinary person who didn't know magic, he could see the old man clearly, but in the divine sense of Zhuo Yuming's Yuanying realm, he couldn't feel the existence of the old man in front of him at all. This old man with a poor and sour appearance, I'm afraid that he is really a high-level Taoist high-spirited.

Zhuo Yuming sat precariously and spread twenty copper coins on the wooden board in front of the old man.

"The juniors want to ask the seniors, where is the road going?"

"Oh, the young man is really good, he paid the hexagram directly before he even started to calculate, not bad. But don't worry, Lao Dao's Tiangua technique this week is extremely effective, and wait for Lao Dao to pinch his fingers. ”

The old man set up a hexagram stall in the vegetable market of this town, and the big characters on the wooden board read: Zhou Tian Shen Hexagram, 20 copper coins. But this town is geographically remote, there are very few outsiders, and most of the hundreds of people in the town are simple villagers, and a few people will be willing to spend twenty copper coins for nothing to find this unobtrusive old bachelor to settle the life of Naraush. In the past 20 years, there are very few townspeople who come here to ask for hexagrams, and the old people are also poor and destitute, so they almost sit on the street and beg.

The old Taoist flicked his sleeves and quietly put the copper coins into his sleeves. Pinched and looked at the sky again, muttering to himself. After a while, he lowered his head again and coughed twice.

"Childe, you're asking a road word. But the old Taoist hexagram shows that your heart is clear and quiet at the moment, not like a worried look that you can't find a way. ”

"Seniors, juniors want to go to Penglai Prefecture this time to find an opportunity. I also asked my seniors to give me some advice, how to do the good and bad. ”

"This is Qiu Zeguo Xijian Town, Dongsheng Prefecture, and there are many rivers in Dongsheng Prefecture. This Qiu Zeguo, Qingyuan County, and Xijian Town are all named with water, and the son is prosperous when he encounters water. I am a son from the mountains, from the mountains to the water, and the mountains and rivers are suitable. Since Gongzi is going to Penglai Prefecture, he might as well go over the mountains and walk near the water on the way. After the son left the town, he went all the way to the west, and followed the stream to the west for 500 miles, which is the Baiyu River. Upstream along the Baiyu River, and then over Zhou, Drum Two Mountain. After passing the two mountains, it turned northwest and passed through the Eastern Jin Kingdom, and then to the Qiongyun Kingdom. Finally, take a ferry to the west on the coast of the East China Sea. As for the opportunity that the son is looking for, where is Penglai in the state, the old Taoist is not proficient, but he can't calculate it, which is really ashamed. ”

"Thank you seniors for pointing out the way, and the younger generations will keep it in mind. As for the fate of Penglai Prefecture, the younger generation will slowly investigate after they go. I am very fortunate to meet my predecessors today. I met the owner of a shop before, asking the juniors to leave Xijian Town as soon as possible, and the juniors said goodbye. ”

After speaking, Zhuo Yuming got up and saluted, then turned around and left.

"Childe, if you enter the town from the stone bridge, then leave from the stone bridge, which can be regarded as a consummation. After the old blind man waited for Zhuo Yuming to get up, he put his hands on his sleeves again, cringed and squatted again, and whispered to Zhuo Yuming, who turned to leave.

After Zhuo Yuming left, the old Taoist priest's face was slightly solemn, and he was worried in his heart. What kind of opportunity did this young man go to Penglai Prefecture to seek, and the old way couldn't calculate it, which is really strange.

Jia Xu is a native of this Xijian Town, his parents died of illness when he was young, and he grew up alone in the old house and eating hundreds of meals. After he was a teenager, he made a living by doing odd jobs. Although he is alone and only wants to be full and warm, he usually gambles with a few teenagers of the same age who often mess around with a little extra money. It's just that he has always had very bad gambling luck, losing nine out of ten bets, and the things left at home are basically used to pay off gambling debts, and now he is a family with four walls.

I have nothing to do today, and I originally wanted to go to the old blind man who told the fortune teller to talk a few words and ask for some good words. However, the old blind man spat out a foul mouth, and did not have a good word. Angry, he left the vegetable market and went home, planning to sleep with his head bored. But when I returned home, I saw the tattered bronze mirror on the table that the old lady used before her death, and I didn't have any reason to remember what the old blind man said about the big deal. Other people in the town may not know, but he knows in his heart that the old blind man who has been setting up a fortune telling stall at the gate of the vegetable market for 20 years has real skills. Nine years ago, Jia Xu had a fever disease, and Zhao Langzhong, the only one in the town, was helpless after watching it several times. Jia Xu, who originally thought that he was going to go underground to reunite with his father, coincidentally walked to the dilapidated house where the old blind man lived, and the old blind man just burned a piece of rune paper in a water bowl and let Jia Xu drink it. The boy went home and slept with his head covered, and when he woke up, he was not sick at all. It's just that the old blind man told himself that this matter must not be spread outside, although Jia Xu, who lost his relatives at a young age, was young, but he was mentally mature, and he never told the second person about it. It's just that since then, Jia Xu often brings some extra food to share with the old blind man. Although he scolds and scolds on weekdays, in his heart, Jia Xu is really respectful of the old blind.

"Forget it, there's nothing to fucking do anyway, so just listen to the old man Pang and try it. If no one buys this bronze mirror, I won't go and lift the old blind man's stall. ”

After making up his mind, the young man picked up the bronze mirror on the table and ran towards the stone bridge.
