Chapter 24: The Fortune Teller
In the southwest corner of the city lord's mansion, there is a very luxurious courtyard, with small bridges and flowing water, birds singing and flowers, which is very chic.
The night is already late at night, the moonlight is in full swing, the breeze is passing by from time to time, and the thick coolness still makes people feel that the cold winter is approaching!
In the hall of the other theater, the lights are still on, Li Guanhai has just come back from the noisy dinner, and before he can sit down, he hears a voice like a silver bell, which comes into his ears!
"Uncle Li, although you are massive, the years are not forgiving, drinking less can refresh your mind, and if you drink more, you will easily hurt your body!" Then, Shangguan Mingyue came to Li Guanhai's approach!
"Don't worry, this little wine, to me, is nothing, wine is a good thing, people all count on it!"
"Mingyue is just worried about your old body, my affairs have bothered Uncle Li!"
"Mingyue girl, as long as you can get what you want, your Uncle Li will drink another jar, and he will never hesitate for half a minute!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Mingyue was very moved, and then said: "I didn't expect Ouyang Shibo to agree to our request so happily, I thought it would take some twists and turns. ”
Li Guanhai saw Shangguan Mingyue's simple expression, very doting, and at the same time, in the depths of his heart, there was a trace of worry, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Mingyue, you are still young, there are many things, you have to see the essence through the phenomenon, let's take your apprenticeship as an example, the reason why it will be so smooth is because we gave him a reason why it is impossible to refuse, this is the so-called exchange of interests, a win-win situation in one fell swoop." ”
"Uncle Li, what is the reason why the Seven Stars of the Four Great Sects cannot refuse. ”
"Mingyue, you don't have to know too much about this matter, if you want to practice astrology, it should be eight or nine, and the rest depends on how he chooses the seven stars. Li Guanhai said kindly to Shangguan Mingyue.
In the Seven Stars View, Zhao Wangxu had just finished reading a letter made of high-quality silk paper, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his expression, and then there was a long period of contemplation, this letter came from Qingshan City, it was written by Ouyang Shanhe himself, and the content was the general description of the Sword Casting Villa, Shangguan Mingyue came to apprentice.
"Shangde, go and call your Uncle Youyue, and say that I have something important to discuss. After a long time, Zhao Wangxu said to the figure standing at the door.
"Yes, master. Ouyang Shangde immediately replied, and soon disappeared into the night!
There is no word all night, it is a new day, today the sun is shining, the sky is clear, after a night of baptism, Qingshan City, extraordinarily fresh! People from all over the world have started their busyness one after another!
Mo Yun, Xuan Xue and Jiang Yu, all full of energy, got up early in the morning and shuttled back and forth in the city, admiring the prosperity of Qingshan City!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, anyone who participates in the entrance assessment of the Seven Stars Observatory must go to the City Lord's Mansion for the preliminary examination, the so-called preliminary examination, is to see if the Fu does not meet the standards of the Seven Stars Observatory beckoning new disciples, whether the cultivation has reached the realm of a heavy heaven, and whether the age is exceeded.
Now there is still a period of time before three o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Yun and Xuan Xue, accompanied by Jiang Yu, just use this time to visit Qingshan City!
Qingshan City, one of the eight major cities in the world, is really worthy of its name, along the way, the two of them can be described as an eye-opener, new people and things, overwhelming, everywhere, is to subvert the usual cognition of the two, plus Jiang Yu added oil and vinegar on the side, the expression can only be an exclamation point again and again!
"From astronomy to geography, to disasters and blessings, to cure all diseases, to pass by, don't miss it. This sentence attracted Xuan Xue's attention, and he had to go over to see what was going on, but Mo Yun and Jiang Yu couldn't help it, so they had to follow behind.
Take a closer look, a small square table, covered with a white cloth, nothing else, behind the table sits an old man who is almost ancient, and there is a big flag praised by the wind behind it, on which the four big characters of "Bo Gu Tong Jin" are very spiritual, and then look at this old man, his hair and beard are gray, and his face is wrinkled, he must have been weathered, wearing a white robe that has not been cleaned for a long time, and the hat on his head is even more dilapidated, very depressed!
When the old man saw Mo Yun and the three of them coming over, his loose eyes immediately came to his senses, and he hurriedly said: "When you see the three of them, they have extraordinary temperaments, they must not be ordinary people, and seeing each other today is the fate of the old man!"
As soon as he heard this, Mo Yun suddenly felt happy in his heart, he could really fool, not to mention that the three of them were dressed quite plainly, and Zhou didn't even have a single outfit that he could handle, and he had an extraordinary temperament, anyway, Mo Yun didn't find out what was extraordinary. Therefore, Mo Yun labeled this old man as a charlatan, Jiang Yu's feeling was completely the same as Mo Yun's, and the two kept giving Xuan Xue a look again, hoping that Xuan Xue would not be deceived by the old man, but Xuan Xue just turned a deaf ear and was very respectful to the old man!
"Old man, can you really cure all diseases?" asked Xuan Xue tentatively.
When the old man heard this, he immediately cleared his throat and said very seriously: "The old man has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, has treated many incurable diseases, and his reputation is even more famous all over the world, there is no doubt about this, if you can't believe it, the old man will never force it!"
"Old man, I didn't mean that, it's just that my illness is too complicated, so I have such a question, please don't be surprised!" Xuan Xue's tone was quite sincere.
As soon as the old man saw that there were steps, he immediately got off the donkey, coughed lightly, and said, "I have been practicing medicine for many years, and there is no disease in the world that I can't cure. ”
When Xuan Xue heard this, she was a little more surprised, and hurriedly said: "I have been injured by the cold since I was a child, and I have been suppressing it with foreign objects for many years, but it has always been a symptom but not a cure, I don't know what is the old man!"
Hearing this, Mo Yun immediately understood the reason, although Xuan Xue was able to evolve into a human being, but after living in the Cold Moon Lake for many years, the cold in his body may have reached a terrifying level, if he does not neutralize the cold in his body, although his life is not in danger, but if he wants to go further, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky!
The old man, who is the protagonist, looked as usual, looked leisurely and complacent, and said unhurriedly: "Stretch out your right hand, and the old man will take a look at the specific situation." ”
According to the old man's request, Xuan Xue stretched out his right hand, and the old man began to give Xuan Xue a serious pulse, his expression changed from the previous absent-mindedness, to concentration, and then to the final doubt, which can be described as quite rich, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd!
Mo Yun and Jiang Yu both thought that the old man was pretending to kill someone, but only Xuan Xue was still as calm as ever, as if expecting a miracle to happen.
The old man withdrew his hand, stroked his beard, and said, "This is the first time I have encountered this symptom of yours, and it is more tricky. ”
When Jiang Yu heard this, he decided that the old man was playing tricks, so as to pave the way for the suitable price code to be proposed later, and stepped forward to the old man and said: "You are a routine, I have seen a lot, is it going to be said soon, although it is tricky, it is not impossible to treat, but the medicine is very precious and requires a lot of money." ”
"How do you know what I'm going to say later. The old man had an incredulous expression.
Jiang Yu ignored the old man at all, turned to Mo Yun Xuanxue and said, "Xuanxue, don't believe his words, he is a liar at all, and fortune tellers like him are like a cow in the whole Qingshan." After speaking, he will pull the two away from this place of right and wrong.
Mo Yun deeply agreed with what Jiang Yu said, mainly because Mo Yun also felt that the old man's words were very unreliable, and the two of them were going to pull Xuan Xue away.
At this moment, Xuan Xue spoke: "I believe in the old man, don't be anxious for the two of you, wait for a while." ”
"It's still you, a female doll, who has eyesight, unlike some people who look down on people. The old man said sarcastically to Jiang Yu.
When Jiang Yu heard this, how could he sit still and wait for death, and immediately wanted to refute the old man, but was stopped by Xuan Xue as soon as possible.
"Sir, is there really a cure for my disease? Xuan Xue asked sincerely again.
"I don't know about others, but it is fate that you and I can meet, and the old man will do his best to help you heal, if nothing else, within a year, it should be cured. "The old man has a lot of fairy bones, and he is completely the posture of a master outside the world.
"Old gentleman, great kindness, Xuan Xue has nothing to repay, please accept Xuan Xue's worship. After speaking, he knelt down and bowed, and the old man did not stop him, and happily accepted Xuanxue's bow.
"I don't know what the old gentleman needs to be rewarded, as long as he can, he should go all out in his decision!" At this point, Mo Yun expressed his attitude, although he had doubts that the old man could cure Xuan Xue's cold disease, but Xuan Xue would not believe in a person who met in Pingshui for no reason, and he also had great hopes, therefore, Mo Yun had the mentality of preferring to believe it or not, from the contempt just now, to the unusual respect.
"Now that you're kneeling, why don't you kowtow three times. The old man didn't answer Mo Yun's question, and suddenly said this.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yu stopped doing it, and roared angrily: "Why do you kowtow, don't be too proud, if you don't ask for healing, I don't believe it, in the whole world, you are alone, and your medical skills are excellent." ”
"Not only do I want her to kowtow to me, I want you to kowtow to me. The old man pointed at Mo Yun with his right hand.
The situation in front of him was beyond Mo Yun's expectations, like being hit by lightning, and he was stunned in place.
Hearing this, Xuan Xue didn't hesitate, and immediately kowtowed to the old man three times, then turned to Mo Yun and asked, "Big brother, help Xuan Xue." ”
This "big brother" pulled Mo Yun back to reality, and without saying a word, he kowtowed to the old man three times very quickly! In Mo Yun's impression, this was the first time that Xuan Xue took the initiative to call himself big brother, and for the sake of this "big brother", that is, to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Mo Yun did not hesitate.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you two are very much in line with the old man's wishes." After speaking, he took out a packet of things from his sleeve, and then said: "This is the Yang Yan Pill I practiced, it is the most yang thing in the world, it should be able to neutralize part of the cold in your body, remember, this pill must be taken on the night of the full moon." ”
Xuan Xue put it away very carefully, for fear of breaking it, and then sincerely grateful: "Mr. Great kindness, Xuan Xue has nothing to repay, but the two of us are penniless now, and I also ask the old gentleman to leave his name, and my brother and sister will definitely want to report it in the future." ”
"Old gentleman, you must leave a name, my brother and sister, I will never break my word!" Mo Yun's tone was very resolute.
"Crazy, really crazy, Mo Yun, Xuan Xue, you are really crazy, you also believe the words of a liar. Jiang Yu slapped his head and was completely speechless to the two.
"The old man only said that Yang Yan Dan can neutralize some of the cold in your body, but he didn't say that it can clear all the cold in your body, and don't be too happy. The old man stroked his beard, and his demeanor did not change in the slightest.
"Old sir, Xuan Xue believes in your ability, you are a real master in the world, Mr. is a great favor, Xuan Xue has nothing to repay, please accept Xuan Xue again. As Xuan Xue spoke, she was about to kneel on the ground again, but this time, Xuan Xue didn't get her wish, she only felt a buoyancy under her body, and her already bent legs were instantly restored to their original state!
"I've already received it, I don't need to worship anymore, I'm so young, my mouth is so sweet, but the old man loves to listen. The old man was very satisfied with Xuan Xue's performance, and continued: "Don't worry, since the old man promised you, even if you take this old life, you will be cured." ”
Hearing that the old man could cure Xuanxue's cold, Mo Yun said eagerly: "If the old gentleman can cure my sister's cold, he will be a cow and a horse, and I will also repay the old gentleman for his kindness." ”
"You don't have to be a cow or a horse, just promise me one thing. ”
"Don't say one, it's all ten. Mo Yun said categorically.
"You don't ask what it is, just accept it, and don't regret it when the time comes. ”
"Although I, Mo Yun, am not a big person, I will never break my word, and I hope the old gentleman will not break his word. ”
"Yes, I can still put the old man in the army, I can't see it, I am very thoughtful, don't worry, I won't let you down, I hope you don't let the old man down. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. ”
The old man changed his words and said: "It's not too early, you should also go to the City Lord's Mansion, I believe it won't be long before we will continue the frontier." After saying that, he packed his bags and left.
Mo Yun and Xuan Xue, although there are still many doubts in their hearts for the old man to answer, but as the old man said, the first test is about to start, and time is indeed running out, seeing the old man disappearing into the crowd, they have to give up and walk in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion!
