Time flies, and it comes two hundred years later...... , our story also starts from Cangqing Mountain again.

Cangqing Mountain is located in the southwest direction of Huaxia Shenzhou, the mountain range is towering and majestic, the momentum is magnificent, stretching for hundreds of miles, its main peak jade shoot peak is the wall standing thousands of thousands, standing proudly in the mountains, although the surrounding peaks are dangerous and precipitous, but all closely surround this peak, like worshipping in general. There is a big river in the south of the mountain, the soup soup, go straight to the sky, the mountain is full of strange flowers and grass, the bamboo and pine trees are cultivated, the tiger roars from time to time in the forest, the mountain stream comes from time to time the ape cries, the top of the mountain peak is full of clouds and mist all year round, looming, like the fairyland of the world.

There is a town on the north bank of the big river at the southern foot of Cangqing Mountain, which is called Shimen Town. The scale of this town is quite large, and the merchants from the north and south gather here, so there are many rich businessmen in the town. Jiangdi Street and Hualou Street are the two main streets in the town, the front street Jiangti Street is mainly a shop workshop, and it is also a hawker market on weekdays, a place for ordinary people to carry out activities, so there are vaudeville performers, fortune tellers, three religions and nine streams are everywhere;

On this day, the clear sky is clear, the wind sends warmth, the boats on the river come and go, the shore is peach and willow green, and the Jiangti market is full of tourists, and it is very lively.

I saw a young scholar in the crowd, wearing an indigo blue shirt and a scarf, with a very beautiful figure, a handsome and elegant face, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and a clear smile on his face, walking slowly.

"Childe, please stay. Suddenly, someone on the side stopped the scholar.

The scholar turned his head slightly to take a look, and saw an old man, wearing a gray robe, with three locks of long hair under his chin, a pair of eyes that were more white and less black, his eyes flickered, and he was holding a bamboo pole in his right hand, with a square flag hanging on it, and the words "things are like gods" were written.

"The old man Guan Gongzi's eyebrows are shining, the heavenly pavilion is rich, and he will get high school one day. After the master finished speaking, his eyes flickered, but he saw that the scholar did not answer, so he continued: "However, Gongzi has a black gas under him now, and in his old opinion, Gongzi will have a catastrophe in the near future." ”

When the scholar heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Ask sir, how to avoid evil?"

Seeing the scholar say this, the old man's eyes rolled, and he said with a little joy: "I still need the son to present the eight characters of his birthday, and wait for the old man to calculate it carefully." ”

The scholar stretched out his hand to ask for pen and paper, and the old man hurriedly took out a thin pen and a piece of rice paper from his coat.

The scholar picked up a pen on rice paper and began to sketch and draw in a hurry. Unexpectedly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that someone was hurrying by from time to time, and when he looked up, he noticed that the crowd on Jiangti Street suddenly gathered in front of a jewelry store.

The scholar stopped his pen, looked at the jewelry store not far away, pondered for a while, and then handed the pen and paper back to the old man, and said, "It seems that there is a lot of inconvenience today, there are some things here, and I need to go down to see them." Without waiting for the old man to answer, the man had already stepped out.

The old man took the pen and paper, but before he could read it carefully, and was afraid that the scholar would leave, he hurriedly said: "Childe has been unlucky recently, don't meddle in things." ”

When the scholar heard this, he paused, turned around, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said lightly with a hint of a smile: "Sir, why don't you combine the eight characters and then make a conclusion." With that, he took a step forward and walked towards the gathered crowd.

Hearing this, the old man's expression was very puzzled, he lowered his head and opened the rice paper, but saw that it was written with the words "not suitable for near water", he was puzzled, so he showed disdain, snorted in his nose, crumpled the rice paper into a ball, threw it to the side of the road, held the bamboo pole flag in his hand, walked forward, and shouted while walking: "Fortune telling, pointing to the maze." Look at the complexion, determine the auspiciousness of the year, criticize the eight characters, and decide the prosperity and withering of the world. ”

The old man walked while shouting, and unconsciously got on the ferry, raised his eyes and saw a group of guests coming down from the trestle, and the old man rolled his eyes, and quickly stepped forward to meet him. Unexpectedly, when the group of guests was less than a foot away, the wooden plank on the trestle suddenly broke, and the old man "plopped" and fell down, but fortunately he hugged the bridge in time, and when everyone pulled it up, it was already soaked by the river like a chicken in soup, which was very ridiculous and pitiful.

After the scholar left the old man, he walked to the jewelry store and looked up at the crowd. I saw a few men in cardigans, surrounding a girl who looked like twelve or thirteen years old. The man at the head had dark skin, a mess of hair on his chest like a hedgehog, and a pair of triangular eyes full of flesh, looking terrifying and disgusting. At this time, I saw him pinching the girl's wrist with one hand, holding a jade bracelet broken in two with the other, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and shouting: "If you don't have any money to pay, then sell you to the backstreet to find incense." As soon as he finished speaking, several men around him burst out laughing.

The scholar looked at the girl carefully, and saw that she was wearing an ice blue silk skirt, her hair was combed in a double bun, her eyebrows were delicate, and her eyes were watery, and she was looking at the black man who was talking hatefully, and said aggrievedly: "Your bracelet is originally bad, and you are deliberately framing people!"

When the black man heard this, his eyes widened, and he held the broken bracelet to show the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly: "This kid broke our bracelet, I don't want to lose money, and I want to wronged a good person, please take a look at it, so that I can make a judgment, this is a newly broken crack!"

The onlookers also began to talk about it, some said that it was broken by the girl, and some said that it was a black shop that often blackmailed people for money.

Seeing this, the young scholar nodded slightly, pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward and said, "A few brothers, why are you embarrassed to be a child?" Although the voice was not loud, everyone present heard it, and everyone involuntarily quieted down.

When the black man heard this, he turned around, raised his triangular eyes and looked up and down, and saw that it was a weak scholar, and shook the jade bracelet in his hand, and said with a very flamboyant expression: "Bully children? Do you know that this is the treasure of our store, and if we sell her to settle the account, we will lose our money!"

When the scholar heard this, his eyes flashed, he smiled slightly, and said, "I don't know how much the so-called treasure of the town store is worth this brother?"

The big black man glanced at the scholar up and down again, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and said, "How much silver?" Hmph, if you don't say anything, it's a hundred taels, gold!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of commotion among the surrounding crowd, and they all whispered, this is clearly blackmail, a hundred taels of gold, but who can take it.

After the big black man finished speaking, he looked at the scholar with contempt and ignored it anymore, as if he was saying in his heart that you are a poor scholar, I am afraid that you have never seen gold in your life.

"His bracelet is fake, and I broke it as soon as I got it. The girl said angrily with a aggrieved face.

"Fake, don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu's bracelet was handed down by the ancestors of the ancestors. The big black man hurriedly explained to the surrounding crowd.

"Okay, brother, you don't have to be so noisy, just pay you money for this kid in the next generation. The scholar said as he reached into his sleeve.

Hearing this, all the people, including the black man, stared at the scholar's hand stretched into his sleeve with curious eyes, as if they were watching a trick, feeling hard to believe, but looking forward to the appearance of a miracle.

I saw a slight smile on the corner of the scholar's mouth, and with a shake of his hand, he really took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and held it in his hand, shining yellow and clear in the sun, and the surrounding crowd began to stir again.

"Oh, it's really a gold ingot. ”

"It's such a big ingot. ”

"That's a hundred taels. ”

........................

The big black man stared at the gold ingots in the scholar's hand, raised his hand as if he wanted to snatch it, swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said, "What you just said, is it serious?"

"Walk the talk. The scholar stretched his hand forward, and the gold ingots handed it over.

The big black man was both surprised and delighted when he saw this, and seemed to be a little suspicious, so he stretched out his hand to pick it up, and suddenly grinned, "oops", and suddenly raised another hand that was originally holding the girl, only to see that there were two rows of tooth marks clearly left on it, and it turned out that the girl took the opportunity to bite him.

"I don't want you to care!" the girl said to the scholar angrily, and ran away from the crowd.

The big black man didn't chase after him, but stepped forward and snatched the gold ingots from the scholar's hand, held it in his hand, checked it, then bit it with his teeth, turned around and whispered to several other accomplices: "It's true." ”

The scholar smiled slightly, and said, "Since Brother Tai has confirmed, he will leave next." He said this, but his feet did not move, and he was still standing in place.

"She also bit me! The big black man shook his head and raised his bitten hand to show off the shallow tooth marks on it.

Such a rogue appearance immediately caused a commotion around them, but the people only cursed quietly, and no one dared to step forward to do justice.

The scholar seemed to shake his head helplessly, but he still said with a smile: "Okay, this is for you, is it enough?" As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and sent it to the big black man.

The big black man opened his mouth wide, his eyes smiled into a slit, and while taking the ingots, he said, "Enough, enough." As he spoke, he turned to the other accomplices and winked.

Several other people immediately understood, and they all stepped forward one after another, each holding their own words:

"I was stepped on by her. ”

"I was kicked by her. ”

"I was given one look by her. ”

..................

The scholar looked at and listened with a smile, and then played a trick, and successively took out a few gold ingots from his sleeves and compensated them to everyone one by one.

After the big men got the gold ingots, they were overjoyed, first held them in their hands and looked at them carefully for a long time, and then they began to disperse the crowd, and then ran back to the store, and came to close the door of the store.

The scholar stood aside and smiled for a while, Fang followed the crowd out of the jewelry store and walked in the direction of Cangqing Mountain outside the town, he didn't walk fast, but people only felt that his figure shook a few times and then disappeared, and they were surprised.

After the people had dispersed, about a tea time, there was a terrible wail from the jewelry store, which was terrifying, and then the door panel of the store was also broken, and several big men fell out of the street, covering their foreheads and moaning in pain.

Passers-by stopped one after another, couldn't help but look, and then couldn't help laughing happily, it turned out that the gold ingots given by the scholar were all grown on the foreheads of those big men at the moment, like horns, and what was even funnier was that everyone else had grown one, but the black man who was the leader grew two, and he looked very funny.

The big men searched outside the store, but when they couldn't see the scholar, they kowtowed and begged the passers-by around to find out where the scholar went. After asking for a long time, he finally had a philanthropic heart and pointed out the direction of the scholar's departure. When several big men heard this, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and chased after them.

Outside the town, the mountain road leading to the direction of Cangqing Mountain is not wide, only because this Shimen Town is built on the back of the mountain and the water, the main traffic arteries are in the ferry port in the south of the town and the official road along the river, so on weekdays, in addition to cutting wood and collecting medicine, there are few people in the town to go up the mountain, not to mention that the fairy and demon decisive battle two hundred years ago occurred in the depths of this Cangqing Mountain, although it did not affect Shimen Town at that time, but the situation in the past has been passed down by several generations, adding oil and vinegar, it has long been unrecognizable, exaggerated more than a thousand times.

At this time, I saw that the remnant sun was like blood, staining the clouds in the sky red.

On the side of the ancient road, with his back to Shimen Town, the scholar stood with his hands in the wind, his clothes fluttering gently with the wind, staring at the inaccessible green mountains, as if he was appreciating the gorgeous and colorful clouds, and seemed to be looking for the great battle between the immortals and demons back then.

"Hello gods, help. ”

"Great Immortal, please stay. ”

"Hero, wait"

........................

From the direction of Shimen Town, there were bursts of hoarse shouts, and the scholar slowly turned around and saw the stumbling and funny big men, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In a few moments, the men rushed to the scholar, gasping for breath, and knelt down one after another, pleading bitterly:

"Immortals, we know that we are wrong, please take these gold ingots back. ”

"Hero, give us a chance. ”

"We won't dare again. ”

Seeing this, the scholar's face sank like water, and he said: "You have oppressed the good and done evil for many years, and the crime is really difficult to forgive. ”

Hearing this, the black man at the head knelt on the ground, with a pleading look on his face, and couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "Great Immortal, we know that we are wrong, from now on we must change our past mistakes and accumulate virtue for good." The crowd behind him echoed him.

When the scholar heard this, he pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Nian'er and the others are just defrauding people of money, and they have not hurt their lives, so I will give you a chance." ”

When several big men heard this, they didn't care about the pain in their foreheads, and kowtowed one after another to thank them.

"But the death penalty is forgiven, but the living sin is unforgivable. From now on, you will do one good deed a day, and when you have done a thousand deeds, the gold ingots on your foreheads will naturally become smaller and fall off. If not, the gold ingot can enter the brain within 100 days and take your life. The scholar said slowly with a dignified face.

When several big men heard this, they were terrified, and they prostrated their heads one after another, and they all expressed their compliance.

Later, the black man at the head kowtowed, knelt on the ground and arched his hand, saying, "I will follow the teachings from now on, and if not, I am willing to be punished." ”

The scholar glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said, "The method of cracking has been informed, so let's leave." ”

The leader of the black man hesitated slightly, and then said: "The kid is bold, dare to ask the name of the Great Immortal, and if you have a fate to see you in the future, it will be commensurate." ”

The scholar smiled slightly, but did not answer, and disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Several big men lowered their heads and waited for a long time without movement, and when they looked up again, they realized that the immortals had gone, so they kowtowed again as a farewell gift.
