Chapter 7 Fortune Telling on the Road
Xu Feng slowly woke up, sitting in the room with a trance-like expression, thinking about these circumstances, his mood was a little complicated. I got a huge benefit, but when I thought about it, it was too sudden, I felt like I was hit by a pie falling from the sky, and I always felt that it was not so simple, Xu Feng thought about it and didn't have a clue, so he gradually fell asleep.
The night was very deep, the town was no longer noisy during the day, and the streets were silent, and the night was rich and there was no moonlight, which added a bit of gloom. On such a night, few people go out to walk, but at this time, in a gazebo to the east of the market town, two old people stand quietly.
The pavilion is more than two miles away from the market town, for the merchant porter to rest back and forth, and there are many such pavilions nearby, all of which are built by the Wang family free of charge for the convenience of everyone, and what it does is not only that, if you want to talk about many countless, so the Wang family has a very good reputation in the vicinity.
And the two people in the Closer Look Pavilion are Xu Fu and Wang Shen, both of them have some joy on their faces, and their eyes do not leave the road, so they stand side by side.
The town is already silent, and the wilderness is even quieter, only the breeze stirs the leaves between heaven and earth, and the rustling sound, but it doesn't take long for the "ding bell" to be heard from far away from time to time.
The sound of the bell was extremely crisp, and it seemed very abrupt in the silence of the wilderness, and if ordinary people heard it in this scene, they would always be a little flustered. But Xu Fu and Wang Shen looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and then walked out of the pavilion together and walked forward along the road to greet them, and the bell was constantly clear.
Xu Fu and the others had not walked far before they saw the origin of the bell, a Taoist in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword behind his back in one hand, holding a bell in the other, and behind him there was a row of figures, which were arranged extremely neatly, and there was no sound and was extremely silent, just following the Taoist.
The yellow-robed old man stopped, looked at Xu Fu and the others, the two sides looked at each other, and saw the yellow-robed old way more clearly, although the old man's white hair was tied behind his head, but it was crooked, and the robe on his body was also messy. There was only a faint light in the night, but Xu Fu and the others could also see the old face, which was as white as jade, with delicate eyebrows and eyes like nature, and was handsome and elegant, although he was already old. But there is no trace of old age.
"It's you two, who am I? Lao Dao's voice rose slowly, very softly and slowly, like a murmur in his sleep.
"Old Li, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Xu Fu smiled with a very happy smile on his face, and he and Wang Shen hurriedly greeted him.
"yes, more than 10 years. I thought you were about to forget about me Li Kun. ”
"Forget no one, never forget you. Xu Fu looked at the Taoist in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.
This person is what he knew in his early years, his name Li Kun is a cultivator in Maoshan of the famous family, the Tao is profound, Xu Fu is not easy to practice as a casual cultivator, and it is difficult to encounter many crises, and Li Kun has been helping many times as a friend, so that he can get through the most difficult period.
"Haha" Li Kun shook his head with a smile, and looked at Wang Shen again, "Come here to help you this time, you can't treat me badly!"
"I will definitely entertain the Taoist Chief. Wang Shen smiled and turned sideways to get out of the way, "Dao Chief, let's enter the town." ”
"Hmm" Li Kun nodded, and the bell in his hand shook "Ding Ding Ding" The sound resounded through the silent night.
"Get up!" Li Kun shouted, his arm went up and the bell rang out, and the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded continuously on the ground, Xu Fu and Wang Shen looked behind Lao Dao, the figure that was not clear in the distance was originally a row of people wrapped in black robes, its wrapping was tightly faced, and jumped forward with the bell.
With such a strange outfit, Xu Fu and Wang Shen didn't react much when they saw it, and they knew the reason. "Daochang Li, when did you start this, no wonder you have to enter the town at night. Wang Shen asked with some confusion.
"What's the matter, I can't take this kind of job yet! Is it because my Taoism is not enough?" Li Kun's tone was extremely unpolite, as if he was extremely unhappy.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, who would dare to question your cultivation. Wang Shen and Xu Fu were helpless, and followed towards the market town.
"What's the situation out there now," Xu Fu asked Li Kun.
"Mess up, otherwise I wouldn't have given them a ride. Li Kun waved the bell as he spoke, and a jingle sounded.
In such a night, in addition to the three people outside the town who were sleepless, there was still a bright light, the gambling house was full of people, and the gamblers were also red-eyed and tired, but they were still reluctant to leave.
In the backyard of the casino, however, it was quite quiet, and there was a row of houses in the backyard, which was out of place with the surrounding buildings, and the houses were extremely simple, and the rooms were unusually tight. This row of houses was inhabited by the servants of the casino, both alive and dead.
At this time, there was a young man in one of the rooms, and Wang Ji shrank in the corner of the bed and trembled all over, staring blankly at the two messy and empty beds opposite. Those were his two companions, whom he had known in the three months he had been here, and who had some friendship.
But now he knew that he would never see them again, just like the three people next door. "Good errand... Heh" Wang He showed a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and his expression was a little desolate.
Wang Jiyuan was the only son in a healthy family, and he was pampered at home and lived a worry-free life, studying in the study hall, reading the Bible, and going down to the river and trees with his companions, enjoying himself. But everything was gone in an instant, and when the rebels stormed into the house and pulled them out, they lost everything, and their family was separated and never seen again.
Later, the king escaped, and began to wander continuously, and the days of wandering were miserable, and he longed for a safe place to stay. Later, he came to a gambling house here, and although he was very tired, he was better than stable.
I thought I could stay here for a long time, but Xu was sensitive after the sudden change, and he found that the good errand that the steward had been preaching recently was not as he said, to have the opportunity to go to the big casino in Yunguan, but after entering a hidden room, he did not come out, and Wang only knew that there was a cold man living in that room, but he also sensed the inexplicable danger, and then deliberately observed, and felt more and more wrong.
When Wang He noticed it, he thought about finding an opportunity to escape, but after careful observation, he found that there were many guards all over the gambling house, and he vaguely felt that there was always a line of sight sweeping in the dark, so he gave up this idea.
"What to do... I don't want to die... I'm looking for my father," the king sat there and pondered. After a while, Wang Ji got out of bed and went to his companion's bed, and after tidying up their bed with a flat expression, he walked out of the cramped room.
Outside the room was a long and narrow passageway, Wang He looked next door when he walked by, it was empty, and the big guys knew that they had been assigned to the big casino, and there was a better and more comfortable environment. "What happened to them is definitely not a good thing! Now it's probably my turn, I'll have to find a way!" Wang He thought to himself.
"Hey, what are you doing! What are you hanging out so late!" A loud shout sounded behind him, and Wang He was startled and hurriedly turned around and said, "What, I'm too anxious to go to the toilet!"
"Yes, lazy people have a lot of and pee, go quickly!" Behind Wang He were two burly men, their eyes were like electricity, and the two looked at them for a long time before waving their hands to let Wang He leave.
"Yes, yes, the small ones will go. The king looked frightened and hurriedly turned away. When he was lying in bed, Wang He still had palpitations, tossing and turning in his heart, and he fell asleep for a long time.
And after Wang He fell asleep, a figure appeared beside his bed, but it was an old man with kind eyes and eyebrows, "What a pure soul, this time you have to cultivate well." As soon as the old man's voice fell, his figure was gone.
