Chapter 28: A Taoist Priest
North of Tiankeng Town.
In the distance, an old Taoist priest came up in the wasteland, tall and thin, wearing a shabby and unseemly Taoist robe, as if hanging on a bamboo pole.
His face is full of vicissitudes, his beard is sparse, he looks sloppy and cold, if it were not for the cloth banner in his hand, the four words "immortal guide the way" in the book, it would be difficult for others to see that he is a fortune teller, and will only treat him as a beggar.
At this time he was drunk, his old face was flushed, his mouth was singing a strange tune, his dry lips were moving, and his mouth was full of yellow teeth.
"Confucianism...... Hmph, the umbrella to the west,
The world is in turmoil...... Hey, greed and stupidity!
Blind wine spill ...... That Buddha spoke?
Dragons and snakes rendezvous, rendezvous...... Jinling!"
No one can understand what kind of meaning is contained in the minor key of this old god stick.
He staggered towards the town.
When he came to the entrance of the town, he raised his head, looked at the three words "Tiankeng Town" on the archway, and whispered: "Tiankeng Town...... This place name is a little familiar, have you been here before?"
He scratched Xie Ding's scalp, rolled his eyes, took off the "immortal guidance" on the cloth flag, put it into the burden on his back, and took out a new pair from it and hung it up again.
This time it was written about "joking about the rivers and lakes", and the fortune teller turned into a storyteller in an instant.
In addition to these two signboards, there are also many individual ones in the baggage, such as "Wonderful Hand Rejuvenation", "Demon Suppression and Exorcism", "Feng Shui Kanyu" and so on, without duplication.
As the saying goes, walking the rivers and lakes, there are many skills without pressing. As long as he sees the target of the abduction, he can be deceived in a different way, fooling the other party into the pit he dug, and never returning empty-handed.
If there is a mobile phone in this world, he will definitely even open the business of mobile phone film, and he will be a part-time king!
After changing his identity, he grinned, his eyes smug, "It should be safe! The world is nothing more than a big fart, coming from south to north, maybe I have been here here before, and I have deceived a few stupid rich people......"
He swaggered into the town, no longer having to worry about which victim would break his true face.
He didn't go far before he suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I remember! More than ten years ago, I really counted fortunes in this town, and it should be a pair of dolls!"
He has traveled all over the world, deceived countless times in his life, coupled with his old age and faintness, and his memory is not good, it stands to reason that it is difficult to remember the old things from many years ago.
However, at this moment, he revisited his old place, and the situation of that year was still very clear in his mind, and he was half drunk.
"If I remember correctly, one of them is obviously a female baby, but he has the appearance of a real dragon; that male baby's life is too horizontal, which is the only one seen in the old man's life, but after performing a great fate, I can't see through anything else, I can only foresee a death catastrophe!"
As for fortune telling, he boasts some skills.
The fate of the two dolls back then opened his eyes and amazed him, so he was very impressed, and to this day, he can still recall it after drinking.
He walked on, his fingers pinching and counting, the words in his mouth.
"At that time, I was talking about dragons and phoenixes among people, unimaginable, not to fool that nerd...... However, I didn't tell him that the two babies were destined to commit crimes, and the male baby should be killed by the female baby this year!"
When Chen Jingzi begged him to tell his fortune, after getting the verdict of "dragon and phoenix among people", he was ecstatic, who knew that he only said half of it, and there was a heavenly opportunity for men and women to restrain each other.
I have to say that in terms of the result, he calculated very accurately, Chen Xian was taken away not long ago, and he is indeed dead. As for whether he was killed by Chen Yuke, I'm afraid only he knows.
"The old man's careful calculation of his life, how can it be wrong? Don't look at it, the little boy will definitely die, as for the little girl, hehe, can the appearance of the real dragon live a long life?"
He smiled indifferently, expecting that Chen Xian had been killed and didn't take this life seriously.
After putting away these thoughts, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of a locust tree by the side of the road, so he walked to the shade of the tree, planted a cloth banner and began to tell the story.
Coincidentally, this tree is the one opposite Haiyan Tower, which is where Chen Xian stood on the first day of storytelling.
The peers are enemies, and this treasure land also makes the old Taoist priest take a fancy to it!
He opened his voice and began to work hard for today's meal, "Ladies and gentlemen, please stay, Tan Laohan has a book in his belly." Let's not talk about the individual ones today, a single table and a list of the world's heroes!"
This old Taoist priest surnamed Tan is familiar with the road and gets straight to the point, and next he will talk about the traditional bibliography "Fengyun List".
The martial arts list, ranked according to the strength of the world's martial arts, is concise and intuitive, and full of topicality, which is the focus of attention from the princely generals to the grass people in the market.
Especially the top ten grandmasters on the list, all of them are powerful and mysterious, which makes people all over the world worship and long, and they are very eager to know the secrets or legends related to them and admire their peerless demeanor.
As a result, the classic "Billboard" was born.
Under normal circumstances, storytellers wander to a foreign land, and if they are not familiar with the interests of the local people, they only need to sacrifice this heart-wrenching and tireless "Billboard", and they can earn more or less change without going hungry.
Of course, this is just a general situation.
The situation on the stall of Daoist Tan today is very unusual.
He was so confident that he thought that the audience would stop and enjoy the food as before, how could he know that the local audience had too much appetite, how could it be fooled by the mere "Billboard"?
Just kidding, what they love to listen to is the new bibliography, which makes people cool "Breaking the Sky"!
After saying that Daoist Tan finished speaking for most of the hour, he was completely dumbfounded.
What is the situation? With so many people passing back and forth, why do they just listen to a few words, turn around and leave? If they don't like it, why are their eyes full of disdain when they look at themselves?
"Billboard" is not fragrant!
He stood under the tree, alone, and the scene was awkward and desolate.
After talking for a while, he desperately recognized the situation and was ready to give up storytelling and change places and identities to make money.
At this time, in the Haiyan Building opposite, a young man walked out slowly, full of alcohol.
Xu Fengnian was in a good mood, not only was he surprised to buy the empty Ming palm, but he also deeply felt the brotherhood expressed by Chen Xian, and under the excitement, he opened a killing ring on the wine table and made Chen Xian unconscious.
Seeing Chen Xian lying on the table and falling asleep, he went home alone after settling the account.
As soon as he went out, he saw Daoist Tan on the opposite side of the storyteller, turned around and walked over, "Joke about the rivers and lakes? Hahahaha, there are still people who dare to come here to tell stories? You just wait to starve to death on the street!"
He didn't believe that someone could steal the audience on the territory of his good brother Chen Xian with old-fashioned jokes.
Although these drunken words are harsh, it is an inevitable fact that Daoist Tan hit the street.
When Daoist Tan heard this, his old face was pale, but he didn't have a seizure at the drunken ghost in front of him, and asked, "Why, don't the villagers in Guibaodi like to listen to books?"
He was trying to figure out why he had pounced so badly.
Xu Fengnian raised his head, laughed, and his posture was wild and uninhibited, "I'm not bragging......! No, in this world! Who can compare to my brother!"
