Book 18: Can You Count a Hexagram for Me?
Three days later.
Tu Mo and Xingchenzi, who were a little dusty, finally came to the outside of the Central Continent King City.
Middle-earth City.
Tu Mo and Xingchenzi passed through the two heavy city gates, stepping on the road paved with bluestones under their feet, under the scattered eyes, the shouting of roadside vendors, the shopkeepers smiling at the door of the inn, and the girls scratching their heads in Yihong Courtyard.
On the street, there are many people, and there is a lively scene.
"The physiognomy master, tortoiseshell divination, look at palmistry, measure faces. Good quality and low price, Tong Su is not bullied, walk by, don't be wrong. ”
On one side of the street, next to the stall of the vegetable lady, a man dressed as a Taoist priest sat at a wooden table covered with a pair of gossip diagrams, holding a feather fan in his hand and gently shaking it on his chest. The Taoist priest is not very old, but he pretends to have a solemn appearance and a fairy wind and bones.
On the side of the little Taoist, there was a black and white flag with the word "Chen" printed on the flag, which was swinging in the wind.
"I don't know if it's long, can you calculate a hexagram for me!"
Tu Mo's moving body suddenly froze, and in Xingchenzi's somewhat puzzled gaze, he turned around and walked to the booth of face divination, with his hands hanging down to his side, and sat on the stool in front of the wooden table.
Tu Mo's expression was as usual, but a strange color flashed in his eyes. Tu Mo stretched out his right hand, put it on the table, spread out his palm, and said to the young Taoist priest.
Although Xingchenzi was a little confused, he just turned his steps and followed, standing quietly by Tu Mo's side. The afterglow of Xingchenzi's eyes fell on the young Taoist priest, his eyes rolling, but he didn't say anything.
"If this benefactor is just here to let the poor Dao count a hexagram, then it is the best. ”
The young Taoist priest shook the feather fan lightly in his hand, and between his eyes, he glanced at Tu Mo's left hand holding the sword with ulterior motives. As soon as the Taoist priest's words fell, he put the feather fan in his hand on the wooden table, and carefully studied the palm prints on Tu Mo's palm. After a while, the young Taoist priest placed the five copper coins in the tortoise shell, and then placed the tortoise shell in the palm of his hand. As soon as the young Taoist put his hands together, he gently shook the tortoise shell in his hand. The sound of collision was endless.
"The Tao derives ten thousand laws, and the law derives all things. Heaven and earth are first opened, one life is two, two is three, and three is everything. Open!"
The young Taoist priest closed his eyes and said something in his mouth. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, stopped the shaking movement in his hand, and then put the tortoise shell placed in the palm of his hand, held it on the tip of his finger, the tortoise shell tilted, and five copper coins suddenly rolled out of the tortoise shell, lying calmly on the wooden table.
"Shhh
The young Taoist stretched out his hands, flicked the five copper coins on the table, and then looked up at Tu Mo who was sitting in front of the table, but he gasped at his mouth and nose.
"The hexagram of the five elements. This benefactor, the road under his feet is probably a little dangerous, and he needs to take every step of the way!"
The young Taoist leader put away the five copper coins on the table, leaned back on the wooden chair, picked up the feather fan in his hand, placed it on his chest, and shook it gently.
"I don't know if there is a way to crack it. ”
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Tu Mo's mouth, and his right hand was lightly placed on his lap, but his eyes wandered, but it no longer fell on the young Dao Master.
Xingchenzi, who was standing beside Tu Mo, took out a silver tael from his arms and put it on the table, and a touch of emotion appeared in his eyes.
"There is a way, but I don't know what the donor is looking for me?"
The young Taoist shook the feather fan in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, but there was an inexplicable smile on his lips.
"I don't know if the chief can lend me the sword hanging from the wooden chair for the time being. ”
Tu Mo was able to come here to divinate a hexagram, mainly because he was attracted by the sword on the wooden chair, which was also the guidance of the Afang Dingqin Sword in Tu Mo's hand.
Hearing Tu Mo's words, Xingchenzi took his eyes off the young Dao Leader's body and landed on the jet-black sword hanging from the wooden chair, and the bottom of the scabbard was stained with a little yellow soil.
"This sword is not something that anyone can hold. Since you have one in your hand, and the other is the second, the poor road will let you observe and observe. ”
As soon as the young Taoist priest's words fell, he stretched out his left hand, took down the sword hanging next to the wooden chair, and placed it on the table, in front of Tu Mo. "If the donor likes it, the sword will be given to the donor, but there is a requirement for the poor way. ”
After doing all this, the young Taoist priest leaned his body on the wooden chair and looked at Tu Mo with crooked eyes.
"Young master. ”
Xingchenzi bent down and whispered in Tu Mo's ear. Although this young Taoist has some real talents, but this desire to capture the past is something that makes Xingchenzi have to be wary of it.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Tu Mo shook his head, then stretched out his right hand and stroked the jet-black sword on the table, the lines on the sword body were natural, and there was a faint inexplicable aura circulating on it, which was similar to the Afang Dingqin sword in Tu Mo's palm. At the same time, there seems to be an inexplicable traction between the two swords, attracting each other.
Tu Mo tightened the somewhat restless Ah Fang Ding Qin Sword in the palm of his left hand. Stretching out his right hand, he pushed the jet-black sword in front of the young Taoist priest, shook his head and said. "Don't. ”
As soon as Tu Mo's words fell, he stood up and left here. Since you have one of them, what is the difference between wanting and not wanting them!
"The immeasurable Buddha is a celestial venerable. ”
The young Taoist priest's smile stiffened on his face, and there was some eagerness between his eyebrows, looking at Tu Mo's departed plain clothes. The young Taoist priest didn't care about anything else, so he quickly stood up, picked up the jet-black sword on the table, and trotted all the way up, not even caring about the fortune-telling stall.
On the ancestral dragon leyline.
A chariot and several horses were galloping all the way, whistling past, bringing up a cloud of dust.
"Young master, in two days, we will be able to reach the King City of Middle-earth. ”
Mo Yun sat at the front of the cart, and the long whip in his hand whipped on the backs of several galloping horses from time to time. At the hem of Mo Yun's black clothes, some dust fell onto her clothes, and her face showed a trace of fatigue.
"If there's a post ahead, rest in front of you. ”
In the chariot covered by the curtain, there was a lazy sound of snow like smoke.
Behind the chariot, on top of the three horses, there was a young man with an arrogant expression, and two old men who were almost old.
"Yes, young master. ”
Mo Yun received the order, raised the long whip in his hand, and whipped it on the horse's back, and a horse's neighing sounded, and the chariot was gone.
Post.
"Young master. Now that there is civil turmoil in Zhongzhou, if he hurts the young master's jade body, Wang Hao is afraid that it will be difficult to explain to my king on this trip!"
Xue Ruyan and his party stopped in a hurry, and after Mo Yun jumped out of the chariot, he went to the post station to prepare some food. And Jun Ma came up, and the young man in a yellow shirt drove to the chariot and spoke.
It's just that a pair of eyes looking at the chariot flashed a touch of heat!
"If Wang Shao is afraid, then go back. ”
Xue Ruyan stayed in the chariot and said in a gentle tone.
"Haha...... Who have I ever been afraid of? I am afraid that there is something wrong with the young master's words. ”
Wang Hao straddled the horse, his clothes fluttered, his face was like a knife, he was extremely arrogant, and the corners of his eyes showed a trace of displeasure.
And the two old men sat upright on the horses, their eyes closed, and their ears did not hear what was going on outside the window.
"Ruyan is just a little anxious. ”
Snowy words came from the chariot covered with curtains, and the tone was a little cold, mixed with a hint of displeasure.
The Wang family. It is the largest sect in the outer rivers and lakes, with many disciples, wandering in the red dust, holding a huge intelligence network in his hands, and also supporting the Jianghu sect behind the scenes.
Even if he holds the royal power and stands on the pinnacle, he has to be restrained by some people.
Unless, holding the imperial power, gathering the luck of the world, ending the war, dominating the world, and rectifying the rivers and lakes.
Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!
The road of the emperor is full of corpses and dry bones. No one is above the people of the imperial power, or on an equal footing!
"Since I, Wang Hao, am willing to come to Dongtu with the young master, the two elders of water and fire behind me will be at the disposal of the young master. Now that the dragons and snakes in the middle of the continent are mixed, I'm just a little worried that the other three parties may do something out of the ordinary, and I'm afraid that we alone won't be able to satisfy their appetites. ”
Wang Hao's eyes were a little gloomy, and the smile on his lips was also a little cold. His eyes turned, and the streamer overflowed, and he looked at the two old men sitting on the horses, and spoke.
"Like smoke, I thank Wang Shao here. ”
Snow opens like smoke. Her words were a lot more relaxed, and she was also quite helpless. is in the royal family, but it has to be restrained to a certain extent, but this royal power is never comparable to the imperial power!
As for the back hand that was secretly arranged, Xue Ruyan didn't want to say too much.
Snow is like smoke on this trip, not only to meet with Tu Mo, but also to arrange for people to lurk around the regent to prevent the deployment of the Western Regions and the Southern Wilderness. At the same time, Xue Ruyan was also thinking in her heart whether she wanted to talk freely about the white paintings of the Northern Desert.
"The young master doesn't need to be like this. Dongtu and the Wang family are a family, so why not say thank you. ”
As soon as Wang Hao's words fell, he drove the horse under his feet, and after walking around the chariot, the figure stopped behind the chariot, in front of the two old men, he looked at the chariot with a smile on his face, but there was a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows, but he couldn't hide it.
"Young master, the food is ready. ”
Mo Yun came out of the inn, she got on the chariot, reached out and opened the hidden curtain, then put a brocade silk package on the small wooden table in the chariot, and then withdrew, and covered the curtain again.
"Wang Shao, this place is a bit remote, and there are only some coarse tea and light rice. ”
Mo Yun came to Wang Hao's side, bowed his waist, and said after handing the package in his hand to Wang Hao. And the two old men sitting on the horses, their closed eyes have never been opened, and the ink cloud has not passed again.
Mo Yun moved his pace, got into the chariot, and opened some of the food in the package, although it was a small dish of the farmhouse, it was made by the cooks of the post station, which made the appetite of the mouth open.
After the meal, he simply rested for an hour or so, and under the order of Snow Ruyan, Mo Yun held a long whip in his hand and carried the chariot and walked away.
Snow is like smoke until the moment I stepped into the land of Middle-earth, my heart has been restless, as if something has happened. It was also affecting the thoughts that were racing in her head.
The Northern Desert White Painting will come to Zhongzhou, but it will come to Zhongzhou after itself. This person is good at scheming, giving strategy, and cooperating with him is tantamount to sleeping with the tiger.
The trip to Zhongzhou, although it is dangerous, snow like smoke is imperative. The backhand secretly arranged in the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions, and the strategy of the Northern Desert, perhaps the Central Continent and his party will know a thing or two.
Walking on thin ice, in a dangerous place, but you can get a glimpse of the truth in it. Tu Mo is lonely in Zhongzhou, and he also needs allies at this time, Xue Ruyan put the bet on Tu Mo, which is more than ten million times better than pressing on Beimo.
It's just that Tu Mo is still a little insufficient, this northern desert white painting.........
