Chapter 34: Vows

After Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui came down the mountain, the two sneakily went to an inn in the depths of the alley.

At the door of an inn, the maroon horse tethered here last night was still honestly there, but there was a small wooden bucket with fodder in front of it.

Mo Shiping hid in the shadows not far from the inn, and after watching carefully for a long time, he didn't see the old shopkeeper with a hot temper, and it seemed that he had left.

Mo Shiping is really afraid of him, he has not met the old shopkeeper many times in recent years, but every time he encounters it, he can't wait to retreat. The short old man is very good at his mouth, and when he sees it, he can always find some faults, and he will inevitably crack and count. And Mo Shiping is not a person who is good at quarreling, he only dares to listen to it, and he doesn't dare to talk back.

There was one exception, though.

More than a year ago, on a dark day, Mo Shiping came to the door of an inn with a basket full of fresh ingredients as usual, and coincidentally, just in time for the short old man to go out.

Mo Shiping was stunned for a moment, felt that something was wrong, and stood honestly in place, not even daring to look at him.

In this world, there are only two people who can easily get angry with a short old man. The old Confucian who is the best in the world in quarreling and the Thunder Emperor who is the best in the world in fighting. As for him, he can't really quarrel with the old Confucian student, and he can't do anything, so he can often only be stunned and deflated. When it was his turn to quarrel with the Thunder Emperor, he could be evenly divided, but often in the end, when he was about to win, the Thunder Emperor would always throw him out with a wave of his right hand and not argue with him. The short old man is naturally powerless to resist, and this often becomes the time when he is most angry.

And on this day, Mo Shiping happened to meet the most angry short old man.

The short old man's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and scolded and walked out of the inn, and when he looked up and saw Mo Shiping, he was even more angry.

So, a stinking scolding that split his head and covered his face smashed on Mo Shiping's head without any suspense.

What sneaky things to do in the middle of the night, what a lifetime of hard work to death, what orphans who have no father or mother since childhood, and so on.

Mo Shiping just lowered his head silently, did not refute, and did not go to his heart, but hoped that the old shopkeeper would finish scolding soon, and he would still have time to chat with Li Fugui.

"If you have a virtue with your bad old man, most of them will not die well. ”

It's just that when the short old shopkeeper said this, Mo Shiping raised his head suddenly, his eyes turned red in an instant, and he stared at the old shopkeeper deadly, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"Old shopkeeper, please take back that sentence. Mo Shiping gritted his teeth, tried his best to suppress the impulsive emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice, word by word. Mo Shiping's bottom line in his heart is very high, no matter what the short old man says, he will not rest assured, and he will not hold grudges, unless he touches his bottom line. That bad old man is the bottom line, and that sentence is not a good end is also the bottom line.

Fortunately, the short old man also knew that he had gone too far, but he couldn't pull his face to apologize to such a junior, so he snorted coldly and strode away.

A short old man who flashed back to the top of the Big Turtle Mountain was confronted by the Thunder Emperor with an unusually solemn expression.

The grandfather glanced at the short old man and asked.

"What you just said that he will not die well, is it serious?"

The short old man thought about it, his face was a little hesitant, and finally he just replied softly: "Only one sentence, God knows." ”

"That's right. The eldest grandfather quietly narrowed his eyes, and his face instantly darkened.

It was also after that night that the grandfather who was a foot above the avenue of the world didn't know what price he paid, so he set up a rule in this piece of heaven and earth, and taught the boy the power of his own rules.

The way of heaven is like this, I, the Thunder Emperor, can save the heavens, or go against the sky.

That night, the short old man noticed in horror that Mo Shiping's future was a little incomprehensible. At the same time, the end of the Thunder Emperor is already a certainty.

"Old horseman, are you crazy?!Ask the fairy to ask the fairy, you really had a glimmer of hope. "The short old man, who noticed the drastic change in the situation, took the initiative to find the Thunder Emperor for the first time.

"So what?"

The grandfather's expression was flat, he looked at the sky in the distance, at this moment, the sunset was gradually setting, and the sun was sinking in the western mountains. He remembered that there was an old Taoist who went to the northernmost place alone at sunset of the Terran race, and became the first Terran to die in battle.

Gone with great generosity to death.

The luck of the human race was established, and the old Taoist took the initiative to give up his position and left in style. This is the future birth of the Thunder Emperor, and the general who will save the sky will fall.

The eldest grandfather smiled lightly and asked rhetorically: "In my vein, since the old Taoist, don't you like to protect calves?"

...

Mo Shiping tiptoed close to the wooden door, poked his head out vigilantly and looked around the store, only to see Li Facai busy alone, and the old shopkeeper was not in the store.

Mo Shiping's expression was relieved at this time, he let out a long sigh of relief, and beckoned to Wang Fugui, who was still hiding in the distance behind him. The two glanced at each other, Wang Fugui suddenly understood, and immediately trotted over happily.

"Hey, Brother Fa Cai is still busy!" Wang Fugui also glanced at the situation in the inn before shouting with a smile.

When Li Facai heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, turned his head with a happy expression, and saw two teenagers standing outside the inn with a smile.

"What are you doing, come in and sit. Don't worry, the old shopkeeper has already gone out and won't come for a while. Li Facai hurriedly beckoned to the two.

Mo Shiping shook his head with a smile and said softly, "I won't come in." Similarly, Wang Fugui on the side also scratched his head, and had no intention of going in.

"Leaving?" Li Facai chuckled inwardly.

"Well, come say hello and go. Mo Shiping nodded, his expression was slightly gloomy, although he had already had the experience of parting once, it was still difficult for the young man to calmly face another parting.

Li Facai put away the rag, put it back on his shoulder, rubbed his hands a little overwhelmed, and looked at the two teenagers at the door blankly, parting always came too suddenly.

After a while, Li Facai came to his senses and walked up to the two of them, with a slightly far-fetched smile on his face: "Let's go, I'll send you off." ”

So, the three of them walked slowly towards the town.

There was no word all the way, and after a small half-pillar of incense, the three of them had already come to the old willow at the head of the big turtle town.

"Just send it here. Mo Shiping took the lead in stopping and said softly.

"Hmm. Li Facai replied and stopped.

Wang Fugui scratched his head, and sighed in his heart, the current atmosphere is really embarrassing, compared to last night, it is very different.

So, Wang Fugui deliberately frowned, looked at the two, and quipped: "What's the matter, the two old men are reluctant to marry their daughters, and it's not that they won't see each other in the future." ”

Li Facai laughed in response, and deliberately said cheerfully: "Hahaha, what the rich brother said is reasonable, what is there to be hypocritical about our lords." ”

Mo Shiping also chuckled, and the heaviness in his heart dissipated slightly.

Li Facai simply waved his hand goodbye and said, "There are still many things in the inn, then I will go back first, and you can also take advantage of the fact that it is not too late, hurry up and set off." ”

Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui glanced at each other, and both nodded, they both knew very well in their hearts that instead of procrastinating and saying goodbye, it was better to leave like this.

Friends, there are some words that are better to keep in your heart.

So, Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui did not hesitate, and said goodbye to Li Facai with a fist, then turned on their horses and left.

Li Facai thought about it, and suddenly his face was happy, and he shouted at the backs of the two: "Hey!

On horseback, Mo Shiping unconsciously raised a happy smile on his face when he heard this, but he didn't slow down or look back, just raised his right arm high and waved, shouting by the way.

"Life is expensive, why bother with gold and money!"

"Brother Fa Cai! There will be a date later!" Wang Fugui also raised his right arm high and waved goodbye reluctantly.

Li Facai stopped in place and quietly looked at the figures of the two gradually moving away. It wasn't until the last bit of black shadow was no longer visible, that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and laughed softly and scolded: "Stinky boy, have a safe journey." ”

Now that the two have left, Li Facai no longer stays, and turns back. As he walked, Li Facai suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his somewhat reddened eyes, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

"This wind is still so strong. ”

Li Facai did not go back to the inn directly, but took a detour to a fortune-telling stall not far from the town.

"Old sir. Li Facai sat lightly on the bench and took the initiative to say hello.

The old blind fortune teller was blind but his ears were sharp, so he naturally heard the footsteps early. But he deliberately didn't squeak, which is why he looks superior.

When the old blind man heard this, he felt that the voice was a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, he knew in his heart that he was one of the two teenagers who had come to tell his fortune a few days ago. He was quite impressed by these two teenagers. After all, the unlucky young man who spoke politely at the beginning won the only one to sign the lottery, but fortunately, he was prepared and had the skills to return to the sky, not only did he not smash the signboard, but he also earned twenty copper coins in vain. That night, the old blind man drank a small bowl of rough wine and a plate of side dishes to accompany the wine.

Thinking of this, the old blind man couldn't help pursing his lips, snickering, and couldn't help but be a little hungry again.

"Old man?" Li Facai saw the fortune teller's old blind man's actions, his face was a little strange, and he shouted again.

"Ahem!" When the old blind man heard this, he reacted, he was a little out of shape, and quickly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

Immediately afterwards, the old blind man sat up straight, shook his shabby sleeve robe, and showed an unfathomable expression, and said in a deep voice: "Good marriage, career prospects, good fortune, good fortune, numerology patterns are all ten cents, pay first and then calculate, no credit"

Li Facai smiled and shook his head, he didn't come here to tell fortunes.

After a while, Li Facai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the old blind fortune teller couldn't see that he shook his head, so he had to laugh helplessly and said, "Old man, I'm not here for fortune telling. I've heard that there is such a thing as a wish after the fortune teller is signed, isn't it?"

The old blind man raised his eyebrows, he naturally knew the saying of asking for a sign and repaying the vow. Generally speaking, it is only in the courtyards of some large temples that pilgrims will make vows and ask for peace of mind. This small fortune-telling stall is the first time someone has come to repay his wish.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for the old blind man to tell Li Facai these words in his heart, otherwise he will not cut off his own way to make money.

I saw the old blind man raise his hand and stroke his beard, and immediately changed his expression with a look of knowing the world's major events, and said with a smile: "It is indeed said that there is a wish." The Xun hexagram measured by the old decay at the beginning, if you go to the southeast, you can turn the danger into a disaster, but it can still be effective?"

Li Facai nodded again and again, and immediately praised: "The old gentleman is really a god, after my brother went to Qingluo Town in the southeast, it was really smooth all the way, and..."

Speaking of this, Li Facai suddenly stopped talking, he originally wanted to say that Mo Shiping had successfully become a disciple of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and he was still a great inner disciple. However, Li Facai thought about it, and there are some things that should not be too public, so as not to get into trouble for Mo Shiping.

Li Facai had no choice but to smile wryly and stop talking.

The old blind man smiled vaguely, lowered his voice and said to the young man: "There are some things that need not be said, the old man knows everything in his heart." ”

Li Facai's eyes widened in surprise, and he admired the old blind even more in his heart. He even felt that this old blind fortune teller must be a figure from a wealthy immortal family.

"A small remuneration is not a tribute. ”

Thinking of this, Li Facai hurriedly took out twenty copper coins from his arms and gently placed them on the table.

The old blind man nodded, although his face was light, but his right hand touched the copper coin very neatly and put it into his arms.

Seeing this, Li Facai also got up and gently hugged his fists to say goodbye, and turned around and left with a look of awe.

After the young man left, the old blind man finally showed a long-suppressed look of joy, unconsciously stretched out a hand, touched the twenty copper coins in his arms, and secretly rejoiced: "It seems that the old man's easy-to-learn technique of becoming a monk halfway through the way has also found out a bit of truth. ”

The old blind man remembered the old Confucian student who came from other places, and it was precisely because of him that the old blind man deliberately recommended Mo Shiping to Qingluo Town in the southeast, after all, the old Confucian made a lot of money trading there.

"It's really a noble person's help, Qingluo Town is really a good place. The old blind man laughed and whispered to himself.

As for what the old blind man said before, he naturally thought that Mo Shiping had made a lot of money when he went to Qingluo Town. And the young man deliberately didn't say it because of the vulgar truth that wealth is not exposed, and wealth is not visible.

So, by mistake, the old blind fortune teller became a master in Li Facai's heart.

"Looks like I could add another bowl of wine today. The old blind man stroked his beard, and was in a joyful mood, and thought that he should close the stall and go home early, because the wine worm in his mouth had come out again.
