Song Lao's income is very ordinary, but the housing is better than the houses where ordinary people live around. On both sides of the gate there are peach wood couplets with white characters on a black background, and the upper couplet is: Life is reckless, and it is possible to see that Yunjin has arrived. The next link is: The heavenly realm is vast, and the future of life is known remotely. To the north is a two-story building with 10 rooms, two west wings, and the courtyard is quite large. There are three bedrooms in the building, another practice room, a guest room, an incense room and a terrace with a length and width. The west wing is the kitchen and toilet. There is a luan tree and two pine trees planted in the courtyard, and there is a row of clay pots planted with various flowers and plants under the eaves on the north side. There are two doors in the house, one is the main gate that opens to the east, and the other is the small door that opens on the north wall of the incense room.

Liu sighed with the water, and the couplets at the door were written appropriately and atmosphericly, "Life is reckless" and "Heaven is vast", and he sighed that he was born in the grass, and he didn't know when he would be able to see the vast heaven.

In Song's hometown, I met Song Lao's wife, a woman surnamed Wu who looked to be in her thirties and forties, and learned that the two had no heirs. Song Lao explained the ins and outs to his wife, and his wife was also very happy. Cleaned a bedroom that was not inhabited, and used it as Liu Suishui's room, and Liu Suishui also placed a place for the same bird that often stood on his shoulder.

Since then, the three of them have been together, the old man divination makes a living, and Liu Suishui helps with some chores, but it is safe and sound.

One day, Liu Suishui asked about the blindness again, but the old man just sighed and didn't answer, his expression was full of remorse, and his expression was mysterious.

A month passed, and Song Lao's business became prosperous. One day, setting up a stall on the street, a customer who came to divination the day before yesterday excitedly ran to say that it had been fulfilled, and that he had really avoided a difficulty as the divination said; and then an old farmer rushed to say that the hexagram was true and accurate, and that he had harvested the crops in time according to what Song Lao said, and avoided the disaster of other people's crops being destroyed by the wind and rain. Liu Suishui saw it in person and was relieved for its joy.

With the shouts of the entourage to open the way, a team of people and horses came, exactly five people and five horses. After seeing Song Lao, a man in red dismounted, set aside his entourage and walked forward: "Hey, fortune teller, you can't calculate accurately, isn't it that I will have a happy event in March? Today is the last day, and one of my favorite women is now going to meet another man!"

Song Lao listened to the voice, the man was in a hurry with dissatisfaction, and said unhurriedly: "Don't be anxious, isn't there still today?" The man in red sneered: "Is there such a coincidence?" When he was about to reprimand Song Lao, Liu Suishui saw a woman in Tsing Yi coming over and said in Song Lao's ear. Song Lao looked up to the sky with both hands and gave a fist, turned to the man in red and said, "Isn't it?" The man looked at it and saw that it was his favorite person, and hurriedly asked her why she was here, and he was puzzled. The woman was delicate and beautiful, and she was indeed a beauty. She was also very surprised, saying that she had divined before, and said that she could meet a suitable lover at Song Lao's place today, and it seemed that it was you. The man in red was pleasantly surprised, and sighed at the combination of heaven's will. The man and woman made a love in front of Song Lao, and the two spoke softly. Liu Suishui looked at the man and woman, the man is indeed a little heroic, and the woman is also a little gentle and charming, it is really a very suitable pair. The man was deferential, smiling, and hurriedly thanked Song Lao, saying that he was momentarily unconscious, and he didn't care about the disrespect just now. He said that he hoped that Song Lao would be a guest at their house one day, and he would be given a grand reception and bow down.

A group of men and the woman went away rejoicing.

It turned out that the man's father was the richest man in Jing County, his surname was Li, his name was Hanjiang, he was a household name in Jing County, and he was not bad, and he left a British name.

Earlier, when Song Lao saw the man in red coming in a hurry, he told Liu Suishui: A beautiful woman will come in a while, and she will tell me when she comes. When Liu Suishui told him that the woman in Tsing Yi was coming, he was relieved and settled. Song Lao thanked God again.

Song Lao still raised his head to the sky and said slowly: "I have been blind for many years, looking for a way, and I have practiced the kung fu of distinguishing sounds. On that day, you passed in front of me, and in addition to a mysterious power, I heard the grunt of hunger in your belly, so strange that the thought left you. It should be that you have an innate aura, and the accuracy of my divination has improved a lot this month. In the past, with the addition of accidental coincidences, there was only six or seven percent accuracy. Since your arrival, I am afraid that seventy or eighty percent of things can be divined accurately, thank God for his mercy and grant me a beautiful person. ”

When listening to people's words, Liu Suishui was used to looking at other people's eyes, and he was quite unaccustomed to looking at Song Lao's blind eyes when he spoke, and couldn't help but ask about his blindness. Song Lao sighed and said: "It was a past that contained great luck in misfortune, I have thought about the picture at that time countless times, but it was like in a dream. As the saying goes, there are only three things, and you've asked three times, and if I don't tell you again, I'm too pedantic. You're a good boy, and you won't give away that past. After going home, let's talk about it in detail. ”

The first time Liu Suishui heard someone talk like this, it must be a confidential past, and he promised Song Lao that he would be tight-lipped.

He walked to Song's old house and entered the house in the greeting of "welcome back" of the same bird. Wu Shi arranged the meal. After the meal, Song Lao instructed Wu's pulp to wash off the accumulated clothes, and "ordered" her not to go upstairs. At a glance, it can be seen that Wu is a virtuous and respectful woman, and after agreeing, she will go to clean up and wash. Either there is virtue in the Wu family's boudoir, or the effect of Song Lao's wise training, Liu Suishui thought so.

Song Lao took Liu Sui Sui upstairs, opened the door and entered the incense room. It was the first time that Liu Suishui had entered this room, and the smell of burning sandalwood was blowing in his face. I saw a portrait of a god hanging in the middle of the room, and there was a wooden case in front of the painting, and there was a copper incense burner with three bunches of incense burning on the wooden table. There was a tray underneath the case, and a sharp sword lay horizontally in the tray. On the wall on the left side are posted what Song Lao called Dao Fu. The wooden floor is very clean, and there is a bamboo mat in front of the desk to sit on, and the bamboo mat is painted with the pattern of Tai Chi Bagua. The furnishings are very mysterious, which makes Liu Suishui feel a strange illusion.

Song Lao introduced that he used to study, work, and live according to the teachings of Confucianism, and later converted to Taoism after the rise of Taoism. This incense room is a place dedicated to Taoist immortals, and he often practices Taoist longevity in the practice room next door. He said that after practicing, Fang experienced the wonderful pleasure and sighed that the true meaning of Taoism is the main gate to heaven.

Song Lao re-lit three bunches of incense, and the two sat down on the bamboo mat, Song Lao sat on the side of the yin fish of Tai Chi, and Liu Suishui sat on the side of the yang fish of Tai Chi. Song Lao began to tell the story of his blindness, and Liu Suishui put the bird in the distance to prevent it from hearing the nonsense.
