Chapter 267: The Old Man Who Divined Fortune
"Little demon girl, look at my water-avoiding short sword, dazzling, you listen to this, you listen, how crisp!"
Lu Li saw Mingyang flicking the water-avoiding short sword with his fingers, and he looked disgusted, "Aren't you afraid that others will break your broken sword?"
"How can this be broken? This is a magic weapon, a multiplier weapon!"
Lu Li glanced at Mingyang up and down, and concentrated on admiring his magic weapon.
The Black Dragon Ancient Sword was dark all over, but it was no longer dim, and it was radiant. The corners of Lu Li's mouth rose, "When the magic weapon arrives in our hands, it is simply a pearl covered with dust, and in the hands of the magic weapon caster, it is rejuvenated again." ”
"Tsk, how do you talk, we just don't know how to maintain. ”
Of course, Mingyang was also very satisfied with the magic weapon that he repaired for him, but he said stiffly: "There is a specialization in the art industry, he is a magic weapon caster who has studied for thousands of years, and of course he has two brushes." The most important thing is that my eldest brother loves me and gives me the best in the world. ”
Lu Li carried the Black Dragon Ancient Sword and squinted at Mingyang, "Are you showing off to me?"
Mingyang held the short sword to avoid water in one hand and put his arm around Lu Li's shoulder with the other, "Don't worry, my eldest brother has set an example for me." In the future, I will take good care of you as my eldest brother did for me. In the future, I will give you one of the best things in the world. ”
"Really?"
"Senior brother's words, they definitely count. ”
Lu Liyi was happy, tiptoed, and backhanded Mingyang's shoulder, "Thank you, senior brother, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
"Come on, let's go. ”
Only then did the two discover that the Shanying family was a real seclusion, and there was not a tavern or shop in the village.
"This family is really powerful, self-sufficient, and there is not a single foreigner. What about us?"
"Why don't we go back, we won't starve to death anyway. ”
"That's not possible, we haven't eaten in over three years, and I've almost forgotten how delicious the food is. No, I don't believe it, in such a big village, there is no one who can take out food?"
The two went around the village again, and it was time for the meal, and the food of every household was fragrant. Mingyang was greedy, and decided to smell whose food was the most fragrant, so he cheekily asked someone to add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
"Can this be done?"
"Why can't it be? I'm a dignified second son of the Demon Realm, I eat a meal at their house, and they can't think that I gave them a lot of face. ”
Lu Li really didn't want to hit Mingyang, but as a junior sister, she had to remind: "People are reclusive families, who cares who you are? ”
Mingyang pushed Lu Li away, "When I want to eat, I will definitely not give it to you." ”
"Would your eldest brother be disappointed if he knew that you wanted to eat? If your father found out, would he smoke you?"
The two were arguing, but the door opened by itself, and an old man with a black feather came out of the house. Lu Li dodged and hid beside him, wanting to go incognito, but Mingyang had a smile on his face, "Old man, I am Mingyang from the Demon Capital, and this is my junior sister." Mingyang pulled
After Lu Li, he grinned and said to the old man who opened the door: "We...... Admiring. ”
Lu Li held his forehead with one hand and whispered, "You can say it." ”
Mingyang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Shut up!"
"Hehe, old man, our brother and sister have been here for a few days, and we have long heard that your food is the best, so I came cheekily today, hehe, I don't know?"
"It's just an ordinary side dish, if two guests can see it, it's okay to come in and taste it. ”
"Oh, thank you so much, you're such a nice guy. Mingyang raised his eyebrows at Lu Li and stepped into the old man's small house.
Lu Li felt strange, especially the old man's eyes when he looked at the two, it looked strange, and he had the feeling that Mingyang saw the hot pot.
"Old man, are you alone here?"
"I'm the only one here. ”
Lu Li saw that the table was full of food, and felt strange, so he asked, "Old man, are you alone, cooking so many meals?"
"If I say, I know you're going to come in, will you be scared?"
Lu Li's heart was really a little hairy, she saw that Mingyang also had a solemn face, as if facing a great enemy, "You know we are coming? What do you mean?"
The old man smiled and pointed to the side, Lu Li and Mingyang looked together, it was actually divination.
"You're at home, thinking we're coming, and you've prepared a meal for us?"
"That's right. ”
Lu Li still felt incredible, "Old man, you won't be okay to tell hexagrams at home every day, right?"
"That's right. ”
"Huh?"
"Our family, we have lived here for generations, and everyone has to do something behind closed doors. I've been divining every day for thousands of years. Others may not know about this outside news, but I know it very well. ”
"Do you rely on divination to understand the development of the outside world?"
"I only look at what's going on outside when I'm fine, and usually, even if I count myself, there's ...... Two neighbors next door. ”
"Old man, you divinate every day, and you should have a very thorough grasp of your own life, right? Then there is something I would like to ask the old man about. ”
"You ask, you ask. As long as it is something in the Six Realms, I can calculate it for you. ”
"Don't count it, I just want to know, you give yourself divination every day, so in your life, do you regret anything?"
"Regret? Who doesn't have a few regrets in their life, of course. ”
"You divinate every day, you should know what to do best, how can you regret it?"
"You little girl don't understand this, do you? I just divinate every day, and I regret it even more. If you know how to choose, you think that the result will be the best when you make a choice, but after a few years, your mood changes, and you will regret it, thinking that if you had chosen that way back then, what would have happened to me now. You say, can I not regret it?"
"I live at will, and of course I regret the choice. You live so carefully, you can still regret it,
Isn't it...... If that's the case, why do you still divinate every day?"
"Get used to it. Every day when I don't tell a hexagram, I feel uncomfortable, and I don't know which leg to take when I stand up. ”
Lu Li chatted with the old man, but Mingyang had already gobbled it up, he had a mouth full of food, and said, "Then you give us a calculation, how can we leave this ghost place?"
"You want to leave, haven't you only been here for a few days?"
"I'm not going to leave yet. ”
Mingyang glared at Lu Li, "What are we doing here, the matter between father and son, people will solve it by themselves, let's hurry back to the Stygian Valley, study hard, and graduate early, it's true." ”
"If you want to go, you go, I won't go. ”
"Then I'll have to go. Mingyang used chopsticks and pestle to eat, "Dead Qi Pingliu, imprison me in the Dark Valley, Dead Patriarch, don't let me leave this ghost place!
"That's right, that's right, that old immortal is a bad person, pestle hard, and treat the meal as the dead old man!"
"Old man, do you have a grudge against the patriarch?"
"Hmph. ”
Lu Li wasn't sure what this arrogant hum meant, so he looked at Mingyang, and Mingyang smelled a smell of gossip.
"You can't be the old man's enemy, are you?"
"Are you really Xiangbei's apprentice?
"Why do you ask?"
"How stupid are you not listening to what you say?"
Mingyang was embarrassed, and Lu Li held back so hard that he didn't laugh out loud.
"I ......" Mingyang pointed to his nose, then he looked the old man up and down carefully, and suddenly had a familiar feeling, "Do we know each other?"
Lu Li heard Mingyang say this, and also looked at the old man carefully, "You look a little familiar, have we seen it anywhere?"
The old man stroked his beard, and Lu Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You won't be a family with the patriarch, right?"
Mingyang was taken aback, "This food won't be poisonous in it, right?"
"How stupid are you really not listening to what you have to say?"
"Oh, the dead old man's family, maybe. ”
Before the words fell, Mingyang felt a chill down his spine, and it turned out that Lu Li was squinting at him.
When the old man saw the two of them like this, he burst out laughing.
It turned out that the old man was the patriarch's biological brother, but after the patriarch inherited the position of the patriarch, the two brothers rarely interacted, not that the old man had any opinions on the patriarch, but that the patriarch led everyone to cast magic weapons, and the old man's most enthusiastic thing was divination. The old man rarely even left his room, and he didn't care about the future of the family.
"This Lu Li's ancestor, you see that we are all relatives, from now on, can we?"
"You want to come and eat?"
"Ancestors are empathetic. ”
"No problem. ”
"Great! Thank you, Lu Li's ancestor. ”
"But I have one condition. ”
"What conditions, you say. ”
The corners of the old man's mouth rose, he looked at Mingyang, then at Lu Li, and then at Mingyang, "You let me count a hexagram, don't want money."
All you need to do is give me your birthdays......"
"No problem. ”
"No way!"
"What are you doing? Forget it, he's your ancestor. ”
"Neither can the old ancestor!"
"Why?"
"I ...... I've done the math before, and there's nothing more to calculate. ”
"Have you counted? when? How come I don't know?
Lu Li's heart was heavy, "I didn't know you before, and I was also an old man, in the bazaar of the capital." ”
The old man stroked his beard, and the hands under the table had already begun to deduce. After the deduction was completed, the old man was shocked, "Why is he!"
"Old man, do you know someone who told me a fortune?"
"Is that person pretending to be an old fairy? Dressed in white, with a big head and few hairs?"
"Yes, yes, it's him, looking at the fairy wind bones. Who is he? Is his hexagram particularly accurate?"
"Alas. The old man sighed, beat his chest and said, "Why was he preempted? This is obviously my child!"
"Old man, who the hell is he?"
"He and I are also considered to be the same family, but we have different aspirations, he likes to tell fortunes to mortals, trying to change the fate of mortals, and I live in seclusion here, fortune-telling, purely my personal hobby. ”
Mingyang asked curiously, "Then he should be quite accurate, right?"
"That's nature. ”
"Little demon girl, tell me quickly, what did he tell you?"
Lu Li's mood was even heavier, she had almost forgotten about it.
"What's wrong?
"Not really, it's just that he said that I would experience three betrayals in my life. ”
"Three times?" Mingyang felt pitiful, "One betrayal is bad enough, three times! ”
"You're not good at character. Lu Li glared at Mingyang, "You say, will you betray me?"
"How could I have betrayed you? How many times have you been through it now?"
"Twice, one is He Ren and the other is Xiaoman. ”
"Xiaoman doesn't betray you. ”
"Why doesn't it count?" Of course, Lu Li hoped that the three betrayals had already been experienced, but no matter what she thought, except for He Ren's time, she couldn't think of who had betrayed her.
"No, no, no. The old man pinched the trick and said, "You will be betrayed twice, so you should have only experienced it once now." ”
"Huh?" Lu Li glared at Mingyang even more angrily, Mingyang felt aggrieved, "I really won't betray you." ”
The old man said inappropriately, "That's not easy to say. ”
Without waiting for Mingyang to say anything, Lu Li had already kicked him, "Die Mingyang, I knew it was you! If you betray me, I will kill you! You stop me!"
