Chapter 11 The restaurant occupies the fate and encounters the demon
Su Wufang looked at this familiar Taoist suspiciously: "May I ask the Taoist, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. ”
If this had been placed in the previous life, Su Wuxian would definitely think that this sloppy Taoist was a liar, ready to cheat and cheat. But now that he knew that there was a cultivator in this world, Su Wufang didn't dare to despise this uninvited Taoist, maybe this was a hidden master: "Then what is the importance of asking the Taoist?"
The man put down his glass, tore a chicken leg from the roast chicken, held the chicken leg in one hand, pinched the trick with the other, and didn't know what he was muttering.
Su Wufang didn't bother, quietly waiting for the following, and after a while, the person stopped and looked at Su Wufang and said, "Young man, you will have a catastrophe." ”
Hearing this, Su Wufang immediately thought if the Blood Demon Old Monster was coming in: "Please ask the chief, how to resolve it." ”.
The man took out a triangular rune paper from his waist and put it on the table: "Lao Dao has a fate with you, this talisman will be given to you, and Lao Dao will bring a pot of wine as a fortune when he leaves." ”
Su Wufang vaguely felt that there was spiritual power on the talisman, this Taoist priest must be a person who cultivates the truth, the spiritual power on this talisman is not obvious but it can't be faked, sure enough, I am the chosen one, I can meet the hidden master when I eat, and I saluted to the Taoist and said: "Thank you Dao Chief, it's just a pot of wine, Dao Chief, please go back and write it down on my account, dare to ask the name of the Taoist." ”
The man waved his hand, poured another glass of wine and drank it: "With a lot of effort, Pingshui meets, why do you have to know each other before, and you will meet again if you are fated." Remember to eat and then go back to your room for two days, and then everything will pass, and you will take your leave. ”
After saying that, the man walked to the counter and said a word to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper left, and came back after a while with an extra pot of wine in his hand, and looked at Su Wufang with a puzzled expression.
Su Wufang knew that this was the shopkeeper asking himself, so he nodded in affirmation, and the shopkeeper handed the wine in his hand to the man after getting Su Wufang's confirmation.
The Taoist took the wine and left the Yinghe Tower, which soon dissipated into the crowd.
Su Wufang took the spell and played with it in his hand, and he didn't know how many grades of the spell it was, according to the book that the spell was divided into nine grades, and the spell that could resolve the scourge of the blood demon monster must be at least three grades or more.
I really am the life of the protagonist.,Then the next thing should be to enter Chong Xushan to test the talent.,I don't know if I'm taking the cool way of talent against the sky.,Or the way of mediocre talent and then changing my life against the sky.。 However, according to my performance in the dungeon, the first one is more likely.
However, since there is danger, it is better to leave here first, and the chief also said that it is better to go back to the room and stay, but it is a pity that such a good meal, since I came out of the dungeon and ate two meals, I didn't have a chance to eat it properly.
After eating a few bites and drinking a few sips of wine in a hurry, Su Wufang raised his hand to greet the guy.
Xiao Er in the store saw Su Wufang's greeting, and quickly rushed over: "Guest officer, what are your orders?" ”
"Checkout. ”
The little second didn't look at it and said directly: "Guest officer, the shopkeeper said, these meals will not be counted as being given to you, just collect you for the wine, a total of ten taels." ”
Su Wufang's eyes widened and he stared at the shopkeeper in surprise: "Ten taels?"
Su Wufang was dumbfounded, in this era, a big meat bun is only two copper plates, ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to save a year, and it is equivalent to one or two hundred thousand yuan in the previous life, and this is still in the case of not counting the meal!
The little second still replied respectfully: "Yes, when the Taoist left, he ordered a bottle of Yingxian Brew that was treasured by our building, which was brewed when the building was built, and a pot of ten taels of silver is not expensive at all." ”
Only then did Su Wufang realize that he had been deceived, and he was still complacent just now, but he was very happy and sad, but fortunately he robbed the three fools, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to afford this meal.
Su Wufang could only resign himself to his fate, took out the silver from his bag and handed it to Xiao Er, after paying this meal, he only had less than one or two pieces of silver left, and once returned to before liberation.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Su Wufang took out the spell, maybe it was true, if he could really resolve the catastrophe, ten taels of silver would be a trivial matter.
Su Wufang carefully opened the charm wrapped into a triangle, and after seeing the rune on it, Su Wufang's last bit of luck also vanished.
The spell is painted with a peace charm, which is the simplest charm recorded in the book, which can bless peace slightly, and there is not much spiritual power attached to it with a divine thought, and the cultivation of people who want to draw a talisman is not high.
Su Wufang slapped the table hard and stood up, attracted by the sound of slapping the table, and the people around him turned their heads to look over. Su Wufang could only suppress this anger, and took a sip of wine and walked out of the Yinghe Tower.
However, the old liar still has a saying that is very right, it is safer to hide in the room these days, and he will go to the City God Temple to buy yellow paper cinnabar brushes and then he will not come out of the room, and the senior brother will not come directly to Chongxu Mountain two days later.
Su Wuxian came to the City God Temple full of depression, the City God Temple in Zhou'an Town is not much different from Jiangbian Town, it is a small temple, dedicated to the local City God.
After his death, the local people in order to recognize his merits, worship as the local god of the city, and hope that he can bless the local people in the spirit of heaven.
The second type is the hero of the country, or the hero who saved the party, who saved the country and the people during his lifetime, and people worship him as the god of the city god in order to express their gratitude.
Jiangbian Town is enshrined in this kind, according to legend, the drought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Xiang Xian's scattered wealth to help the people, save countless people, Yiwu people in order to commemorate him, they worship him as the city god of Jiangbian Town.
There is also a third category of people who are upright or do good deeds in life and become the god of the city god after death, and after his death, people believe that he can maintain his integrity in the underworld, protect the local people, and worship him as the god of the city god.
The city god in Zhou'an Town is like this, there is an endless stream of people coming to the city god temple to offer incense, and Su Wufang bought what he wanted very easily.
There are large and small stalls on the street outside the City God Temple, and the market near the City God Temple is generally the most lively, and things are easy to sell in places with many people.
Stalls selling food, selling jewelry and playthings, selling daily chores, setting up stalls for fortune telling, word measurement, everything.
Since he practiced, Su Wuxian had become a little more curious about the matter of word counting and fortune-telling, after all, these are all true and pure in this world.
On the way back, I also looked curiously, it didn't matter if I didn't look at it, I saw a sloppy figure at a glance, it was the liar who had just cheated himself out of ten taels of silver.
The liar set up a fortune-telling stall and was sitting in an extremely inconspicuous place far away from the crowd, with a banner on the side of the stall, on the front of the banner was written "Iron mouth directly determines the life and death of the world", and on the reverse side it was written "The free half-immortal house is ordered to see through the red dust", and there are sticks, copper coins, hanging plates, paper and pens and other commonly used divination things on the stall, and they are also decent, if he didn't know in advance that this is a complete liar, Su Wufang may have believed it.
Su Wuxian saw that the sloppy Taoist priest had cheated him out of his money, not only did he not run, but swaggered to set up a stall here and continue to deceive people, and he was suddenly angry, and he was about to step forward and lift the liar's stall.
Su Wuxian walked through the crowd to the crook, and saw the crook hand a note to a middle-aged man in front of his stall.
The man opened the note and glanced at it, his face changed instantly, cold sweat broke out on his face, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and suddenly he knelt down without warning, bowed to the liar, and shouted: "Dao Chief, help." ”
Seeing this scene, Su Wufang became even more angry, it seemed that the liar had deceived another person, and rushed to the liar in three steps and two steps.
The sloppy Taoist raised his eyes and saw Su Wufang who came over, and said nonchalantly: "You're here, don't worry, I'll deal with the matter in front of me first." ”
The expected picture of the liar turning around and running away in a panic did not appear, but the liar was extremely calm, and this reaction made Su Wuxi, who was originally going to make a big fuss, not know how to deal with it.
Looking at the person who was still kneeling in front of him, Su Wufang decided to see what this liar said first, and then expose this liar on the spot, so that he would lose face in front of so many people in the City God Temple.
The man sat in the stall and didn't get up, and said lightly: "You get up first, and explain the ins and outs of the matter to Poor Dao." ”
Only then did the middle-aged man get up and speak.
It turned out that this man's name was Wang Cheng, and his family was poor and often couldn't eat, but Wang Cheng was unwilling to do so, and he studied hard and worked hard to be strong, and finally won the Xiucai exam, and the life at home got better.
Because Wang Cheng has endured hardships and knows that life is not easy, he often does some good deeds, and when he has nothing to do, he will set up a porridge stall to help those who can't afford to eat, and he also married a beautiful daughter-in-law Lin Yu who is praised by all over the country, and the family lives happily.
But I never thought that because of the beauty of my daughter-in-law, I caused trouble, a few days ago something strange happened, Lin Yu began to dream, in the dream a blue-faced and fanged monster came to her and said: "I am the thick Xuan Immortal of Chaoyun Mountain, I have taken a fancy to you, and I will come to pick you up in a month." ”
Lin Yu has married Wang Cheng, the two husband and wife are harmonious, how could they agree, they refused on the spot, the monster was angry at the time and said that it would make the palace chicken and dog restless, and take Wang Cheng's life three days later, and let Lin Yu be widowed when the time comes, so as to force her to comply.
After Lin Yu woke up, he talked to Wang Cheng about it, and the two didn't care about it, it was just a dream.
But I didn't expect that next, strange things continued in the house, and there were often strange roars, and the dogs in the house barked at night, and there were often poultry that died inexplicably, and people were panicked.
Seeing that things were getting worse, and even some poultry died, and at night even the dog who was guarding the home behind died inexplicably, Wang Cheng saw that things were getting more and more weird, so he decided to come to the City God Temple to try his luck and see if he could find some solutions.
After listening to Wang Cheng's description, the Taoist didn't reply, glanced at Su Wuxian and said, "This little friend, why did you come?"
Su Wuxian listened to the words of the Taoist man, and suddenly became angry, you still have the face to ask why I came, but seeing that the Taoist still remained silent after hearing Wang Cheng say that there were monsters, he thought about the Taoist a little more, and decided not to tear his face for the time being to see what this Taoist would say: "Dao Chief, you asked me for a pot of ten taels of silver Yingxian Brew, and you gave me a peace charm of one grade, which is a bit unreasonable." ”
After listening to Su Wufang's words, Wang Cheng, who was standing on the side, suddenly had some doubts about the Taoist in front of him, this Taoist was not a charlatan.
The Dao man closed his eyes and pinched his fingers again, and then suddenly opened his eyes, and after looking back and forth between Wang Cheng and Su Wufang, he said: "Didn't Poor Dao tell you not to go out of the house for these two days, since you don't believe me, forget it, everything is fate." Wang Cheng, isn't there a monster in your family, your method of breaking the robbery is here, this little brother will help you solve this matter, it seems that everything is doomed. ”
Su Wufang and Wang Cheng looked at each other after the Taoist man's words, and the Taoist took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Cheng: "Go back today, this talisman can protect your mansion all night, you put this talisman under your bed, everything else is as usual, and don't tell your wife about the matter between us, someone will come to the door tomorrow to solve this matter." ”
Wang Cheng didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart when he turned out to spell, if it wasn't for the person who came up and gave him a note saying that there was a demon in the house, maybe Wang Cheng would have regarded this person as a liar.
Wang Cheng hesitated for a while to see that the Taoist was resolute, so he could only take the talisman and walk home with a worried heart, and he didn't know that the talisman given by the Taoist priest was useful, but now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
After Wang Cheng left, Su Wuxian looked at the man and said, "You owe me an explanation." ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Little brother, you are a cultivator. ”
Su Wufang learned to be obedient this time, and waited motionlessly for the next step of the man.
"It's all fate, I calculated that you have a catastrophe, and although the talisman that you gave you is only the most basic talisman, it tells you that two days in the house is indeed the solution, if you are just an ordinary person. But you are a cultivator, you don't believe me after reading the talisman, but you can meet me again in the vast sea of people, and you also meet Wang Cheng, which means that you are destined to help Wang Cheng solve this matter, and at the same time you can solve your own affairs, everything has its own certainty. ”
Su Wufang's judgment of the Daoist was shaken, did he really want that Daoist to say so, or is this another scam, no matter what, it is true that Wang Cheng's family has monsters.
If this is the case, then I have to solve this matter, if this person is a liar, then Wang Cheng is in danger and he has to solve this problem, so it does have a kind of doomed taste, but no matter what, you can't let this person run. If he is a liar, I will ask him to return the ten taels of silver that he deceived me.
Seeing that Su Wuxian was in thought, the man took care of himself and cleaned up his stall, packed his things into a box made of bamboo at his feet, and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Su Wufang grabbed the arm of this Daoist and snatched the box in the Daoist's hand: "You can't go, who knows if you are lying to me, you stay with me today, and go to the palace with me tomorrow to deal with that monster." ”
When the man saw that the box was snatched away, he suddenly had no choice: "Okay, then you let go first, I'll just go with you, all my belongings are in that box, I can't run away if you hold it, and it's inconvenient for you to walk with me like this." ”
Su Wuxian decided not to listen to the words of this rhetorical Taoist, and the two of them returned to the Yuelai Inn.
