CH.2 The Blind Fortune Teller
When Li Brownfu stepped back to the door of his house, he saw a blind man in black straw shoes banging back and forth on the wall of his house with a cane, and the shape was very strange. Mother Li came out of the courtyard when she heard the sound, and her eyes fell on the blind man with Li Brown's eyes. But I saw that he was unkempt, his nose was like an eagle, and his innocent eyes rolled upwards with the whites of his eyes. The crutches under his hand kept beating, and the sound of the impact was like a blade, and the sight made people shudder.
"Sir, what's the reason?" Li Brown stepped forward and asked with a deep sigh.
"Da-da, da-da", the blind man knocked twice. Suddenly, the blind man put his hand on Li Brown's vein, and Li Brown felt that his whole body was speeding up, like a magnet sucking iron.
"What a sword, what a sword!" said the blind man.
Mother Li has always been a pious and faithful person, and when she saw this, she hurriedly invited the blind man to her own yard. But the blind man did not move, but still stood in place. The strength used by Li Mu was not heavy, but it was not so light that it did not move at all, and the blind man's body did not even shake. Mother Li was taken aback.
"Sir, can tell fortunes?" asked Mother Li respectfully.
The blind man nodded.
"Sir, the spring exam is about to be held recently, can you help calculate my son's literary luck?"
"Sir, the spring season is coming, can you help you calculate?" Li Brown also asked respectfully.
The blind man shook his head, as if this was not the way to go.
When Li Brown and Li's mother saw this scene, their hearts were cold. has planned to take this exam all his life, and what worries Li Brown even more is that if he can't pass the exam, how can he marry Su Li?
"Sir, is there no literary movement, can't you win an official and a half-job?"
The blind man still shook his head.
"Why is this?" asked Mother Li, holding the blind man's hand.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the test!" the blind man paused word by word, each word as heavy as gold, and it was loud.
"Why can't you pass the test? Isn't it that you old man is talking nonsense!" Li Brown said angrily.
"Believe it or not. The blind man was no longer entangled, broke free from the hands of Li's mother, and wanted to get out of this place.
Li Brown was still indignant, he felt so angry, or the words of the blind man dispelled his idea that he must pass the exam, or the words of the blind man boosted his morale. But the most important thing is that the mortal people pay the most attention to the word of potential, once the momentum is not good, most things will not develop for the better.
"Sir, can you solve this confusion before leaving?" Li Brown asked in a good voice and anger in his heart.
The blind man shook his head and sighed as he walked: "I can't solve it, I can't solve it, I can't reveal it." When he leaks, he is not a heavenly machine, a heavenly machine, how can it be explained. ”
"Then I don't have the slightest choice but to sit and wait for death?" Li Brown asked in a loud voice.
"You can't continue to read the book as you wish, but you are a good swordsman, and you will definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. ”
Li Brown was in a hurry, hurriedly detoured in front of the blind man, bowed deeply and asked, "Sir, can't you really explain a little more?"
The blind man stood still, his head tilted, his shoulders hunched, and the thumb of his left hand, which was not holding a cane, moved rapidly in the palm of his hand, as if he were pinching something.
"What sword? What dynasty sword, what material can be transformed into such a strong body?" muttered to himself.
Li Brown's face was full of questions, and he was about to ask again, when he suddenly saw the blind man slowly disperse like a floating cloud, and in an instant, it was like a smoke cage, floating through his body in a trance. By the time Li Brown heard the crutches again, the blind man was already far behind him. Li Brown was shocked, turned around to look at the blind man's back, and a wave of horror hit his heart.
"He met me on Luofu Mountain in Lingnan one day. I hope that then I will be able to calculate the world, and the ability to tell fortunes will be higher, and your natal sword will also-" The blind man rode away without saying anything.
Li Brown turned around and walked to his mother's side, but saw Li's mother standing dumbfounded. I can't help but feel sad, and the feelings of guilt, resentment, and loss all come to my heart. He also thought that the blind man was just an ordinary wandering Taoist, and he also thought that the blind man was just talking nonsense and deceiving people for a living. He really hoped that it would be better to be deceived by a few taels of silver at this moment than to have the hope in his heart shattered.
"Mother, what should I do next?" Li Brown asked as he looked at his mother worriedly.
"What are you going to do, I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you been, and you're only coming back now?" asked Mother Li with a little look on her face.
Li Brown was shocked again, this surprise was not trivial, and there was a chill behind him. It had already occurred to him that the matter of the moment was completely absent from his mother's memory, just as the blind man had never appeared in her field of vision. And at that time, everything was in turmoil, and it seemed that it had not passed with time, what kind of terrible cultivation should this be, and what kind of enviable mana should it be? He couldn't tell in his heart that there were countless strange voices contradicting themselves, some voices torn and deformed by fear, and some voices rejoicing because they longed for a completely unknown place. Everything in his heart seemed to swim on his face like a sword qi, and his expression suddenly distorted.
"Brown, what's wrong with you?" asked Mother Li when she saw this.
"No, nothing...... Mother, didn't you really see a blind fortune teller walking by here?......" Li Brown was unwilling, trying to reawaken his mother's memories, so he asked a little induced.
"Fortune teller is blind? What nonsense are you talking about? Now in this world, don't say that you are blind, even if you are afraid of a wild bird, it is not easy to survive. In our Jinan Mansion, we can still retain a few families, which have long been scattered, and there is no one out of ten. Where did the blind man come from here to seek a living, not to seek death? ”
Mother Li sighed, although it was spring, it was also in a time when there was no green and yellow, this situation was really chilling.
"Don't say it!" Li Brown kept silent and helped his mother into the door, feeling sad in his heart.
He closed the courtyard door desolately, but he couldn't close the sorrowful drift. He remembered the poem of "one go to two or three miles" on the Shao Kang Festival in modern times, but he was afraid that the dignitaries and nobles in the temple and the rural farmers who made a living in Qiaosu were not born in the same country. Otherwise, how could there be a contrast between heaven and earth? How could Shao Yong's sense of leisure in the village be so different from the desolation and poverty he felt? Could it be that it was not a great Song Dynasty? This feeling of happiness being replaced by others is also ridiculous to think about. Are you happy? In this troubled world, where is the happiness and where is the blessing? The royal literati are really shameless.
Having said that, it doesn't collapse the world in an instant. He remembered the sword and destiny that the blind man said, as well as Luofu Mountain on Guangnan East Road, and there was a sense of distant familiarity in his heart.
Sword.
As soon as he read this word, it was as if a huge candle burned in his heart, and a broken sword in the sea of consciousness buzzed.
