Volume 1 Chapter 27 Knowing Yin and Yang
At noon, Xijian Town fell into a brief desertion, with most of the town's residents preparing lunch at home, and few pedestrians on the long street.
"Old man Pang, why don't you close the stall at noon today? No one comes to you every day to tell your fortune, and you still have to sit here like a stone, and the harmful young master is also ridiculed every day, saying that I am blinded by lard, and I learned the tricks of deception from an old blind man. If it weren't for the fear that you, Old Man Pang, might kick his legs one day, and there would be no one to see him off, so Master wouldn't sit with you every day at the gate of this vegetable market and make people laugh. Hurry up and take the stall back to eat, the master is already so hungry that his chest is close to his back. ”
The young man squatted beside the old blind man and began to nag and complain.
Since Zhuo Yuming bought the Haotian Mirror from the young man Jia Xu, the old blind man used the hundreds of taels of silver left by Zhuo Yuming to accompany the young man to set up a stall for him. Although the young man refused to apprentice, the old blind man still taught him to read and write every day, and every now and then he said some Shinto words that he did not understand at all.
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer, the guests will be there soon." ”
The old blind man was still squatting at the base of the wall, tucking at his sparse goatee.
When Jia Xu heard this, he jumped up immediately, pointed at the old blind man's nose and scolded: "Pull you down, your old man Pang has no relatives and no reason in this Xijian Town, except for the little master, I am kind-hearted and accompany you here every day to bask in the sun, where are you from the guests looking for you." If you don't have a proper shape all day long, you will blow nonsense, who will come to you blind old man? You hurry up and close the stall, and if you don't leave, I will go to the Li Si Wine Shop by myself to reward the Five Organs Temple. ”
Just as Jia Xu was jumping to his feet, a tall old man suddenly walked up to him and stopped.
"Mr. Pang. ”
The person who came just greeted him faintly.
Jia Xu didn't expect that someone would really come to find the old blind man, seeing that although this tall old man had white beard and hair, his face was ruddy and his bearing was extraordinary. It looks like he is at least a rare age, but his back is straight, as if his bones are stronger than that of a young man like him.
"Why, you can't stop people and come to me, an old blind man, to be angry?"
The blind old man said with a smile.
The tall old man shook his head and sat down on a low stool opposite the old blind man.
"I got Mr. Pang's four-character proverb that the ghost monk went south before, but Ling has been chasing it for two years, but there is still no trace. Counting the time, the ghost should already be in Nanchizhou at this time, thinking about bothering Mr. again, please ask Mr. for guidance. ”
After listening to this, the old blind man was silent for a long time, brushing his beard with one hand and pinching his fingers with the other. The old blind man did not speak, and the tall old man also kept silent. The old blind man looked up at the sky, and the old man stared straight at him, and the two of them were like sitting on wax, and after about a stick of incense.
The young man standing on the side was the most jumpy, although he couldn't understand a word of the conversation between the two, but seeing that the two of them were just sitting there stunned, he, an outsider, was anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks. If it were on weekdays, he would have shouted loudly, but the old man with a calm face just sat there, but it gave him a huge pressure, so that the demon king of the mixed world, who was not afraid of the earth and the earth on weekdays, did not dare to be presumptuous casually.
"Providence is so, and it cannot be violated. You'd better go back, I don't have anything to tell you, just let things be. ”
In the end, with a long sigh, it was the old blind man who lowered his head and broke the deadlock of silence.
"I said the old blind man, the old man, you don't buy my face alone, and now the old sword idiot is here, the two of us can always please you. Let's say okay first, if you don't give face to the old blind man, then let the old sword idiot chop you guys one by one, and I will move you to Zhongshenzhou again. ”
The tall old man sitting opposite him didn't make a sound, but another voice sounded beside the blind old man.
Jia Xu only felt a flower in front of him, turned his head to look, and saw a lewd old man who looked almost unbearable to the old blind man was squatting beside the old blind man, one arm around the old blind man's neck, and one hand on his lap.
The old man looked half-cut and senile, dressed in a tattered gray shirt. To say that he is an old farmer in the countryside, eleven out of ten people nodded in approval.
As soon as he heard the sound around him, a blind old man, who had always been light-hearted, jumped up from the ground, raised his foot and kicked it to his side. The sloppy old man was caught off guard for a moment, and was kicked over by the old blind man, and rolled on the ground.
"Shameless old man, why are you here again. You've been stalking and polishing my old ways for several years, and you can't get rid of it. Now again, can you still make a face? ”
The tall old man who had been in the well all the time also frowned slightly when he saw the obscene old man on the other side appear. In this ethereal spirit realm, no one can talk to this nagging old man for more than ten words. It's just that this old man's realm is very high, and there is nothing he can do about it when he chases him with magic sounds in his ears, and there are few people in the world who can beat him, but because of his age, he has to give three points.
Since Mr. Pang was taboo, Ling took his leave. I hope that Mr. Pang can read the world and go out of the mountain as soon as possible. Ling and General Feng waited for Mr. to come in Zhongshenzhou. ”
The pinnacle of kendo, who was revered as the sword master, stood up and saluted the old blind man, then turned around and left.
The blind old man also nodded in greeting.
"Old sword idiot, why did you leave, this old blind man is shameless, what are you doing politely to him? Let's directly tie him up to Zhongshenzhou and throw it at the old monster, isn't it over?" Old swordsman, don't go. The sloppy old man called out repeatedly, but the Sword Master quickened his pace and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
The old man saw that the other party ignored him, turned his head and scolded the blind old man: "You old blind man, I didn't say you. Those demon cubs are about to fight again, and you don't have to do anything yet. Nest all day in this broken town where birds don't, are you ready to die here? Anyway, you don't have a few years to live, why are you still tight-lipped all day long, the old sword idiot comes all the way, and you don't put a single fart. What kind of bullshit Heavenly Dao is back, you old guy who is buried in the soil to your chin, and you're still afraid of a bird. ”
The blind old man was so angry that his face turned red, but he scolded the street, if this old man thought he was second, no one in the entire Void Spirit Realm would dare to say that he was first. The old blind man pointed at the other party tremblingly, holding back for a long time, but he couldn't jump out of half a word.
The sloppy old man crackled and scolded for a long time, and finally got out of the evil anger in his chest. Turning his head to look at Jia Xu who was standing aside, the light in his eyes flowed, and he looked at Jia Xu back and forth from head to toe.
"Boy, follow the old blind man to study hard, learn all his skills, and come back to follow the old man and me together. But just learn the skills, don't learn his bad habits of being unruly, selfish, and shameless. Well, this gadget is for you, and it should be a greeting gift from your grandfather. ”
As the old man spoke, a flash of light flashed in his hand, and a small blue and white bowl appeared. The old man stuffed the porcelain bowl in his hand into the young man's hand, shook his body, and disappeared.
"Old shameless, Kunlun Island, Qixia Prefecture. If you don't practice to be a celestial, don't get out and be embarrassed. ”
Perhaps for the sake of the other party's meeting gift to his apprentice, the old blind man shouted angrily.
