Chapter 73: The Fight Against Things
Mountains and rivers are people of faith.
In his world, words are deeds.
Therefore, even though he really wanted to learn the method of extracting medicine, without the consent of his master, he would not accept Lu Guozhong's conditions no matter what.
It wasn't until I heard Xiaodou say that there was a way to communicate with the late master that Shanhe felt that there was a glimmer of hope in this matter.
However, after hearing the words "coin toss", he immediately felt a sense of absurdity.
Even if you come to the master's tomb, how can a coin represent the master's will?
Fortunately, later with Lu Guozhong's sleek backing and the witty persuasion of the little bracelet, Shanhe accepted this fact and reluctantly agreed.
Seeing that Shanhe had agreed, Qin Xiaodou, who was afraid that the other party would regret it, couldn't wait to run to the tomb.
Respectfully bowed three times, Lang Lang said:
"Hello seniors, my name is Qin Xiaodou, and I am a friend of Shanhe. I have something to ask you for advice today, and I hope that the seniors will tell you......" After briefly describing the transaction between Lu Guozhong and Shanhe, Qin Xiaodou continued:
"If you think it's feasible, please reply to me with a positive one, and if you don't agree, give me a negative. Ahem, that...... I threw it away!"
After saying that, he silently recited "Amitabha" in his heart, and Qin Xiaodou threw the coin in his hand high into the air, drawing a beautiful parabola while rolling.
A few seconds later, it fell to the ground with a thud.
Then, three burning eyes all converged on the coin.
The coin that fell to the ground rolled a few times, then jumped a few times, and then reluctantly lay on the ground, revealing its true face - reverse side up!
Seeing this, Qin Xiaodou was unwilling and stunned, biting his lower lip fiercely, unable to say a word.
It took so much effort to "cheat" the opportunity, but she was thrown out by herself, not to mention how angry she was!
Looking at Lu Guozhong again, he was also regretful and disappointed at this moment.
Fifty percent of the time, he didn't even win! It seems that even God doesn't want him to learn healing.
Since Providence is so, there is nothing to say, and after a long sigh, he lowered his head.
Finally, there are mountains and rivers, and when he saw the result, he unconsciously felt a little lost in his heart.
But now that the master has given a clear "reply", he no longer hesitated, knelt down respectfully, and said to the tombstone:
"The apprentice knows what to do, thank you master for making it clear. After saying that, he got up and said to the two:
"Okay, I've asked and asked, it's time to go back, right?"
After hearing this, Qin Xiaodou's heart was full of unwillingness, and his brain was also running rapidly.
I saw her clenching two small fists, without any intention of leaving, and her eyes were rolling vigorously in her sockets. After about a few seconds, he suddenly spoke again:
"Oh! by the way, Brother Shanhe, just ...... There's a link where I'm wrong, I'm sorry!"
"What do you mean?" asked Shanhe unbelievably.
"That is, the one who asks must know the deceased. In addition, when asking, the name of the deceased should be added so that it can be accurate. And I don't know your master, nor do I know his name, so it's very likely that those words just now didn't reach your master's ears, so, so, ...... It doesn't count. ”
After hearing this, Shanhe was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Guozhong on the side, as if he was asking for his opinion.
In such a short period of time, seeing that Qin Xiaodou found another reason for nonsense, Lu Guozhong had to admire this little girl's "wit".
So, following the meaning of Xiaodou, he echoed:
"Yes, yes, in folk customs, there is indeed a similar exquisiteness. Just like sweeping the tomb during the Qingming Festival, it is generally spoken by the relatives and friends of the deceased, and the words must also contain the title of the deceased, so that it can have an effect, hehe. ”
Listening to the two singing and harmonizing, although Shanhe was stupid, he also vaguely noticed something, and opened his mouth to say tentatively:
"Since you all know this, why didn't you just say it?"
"This ...... Ah, I forgot for a moment. ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Shanhe, I didn't think about it just now......"
"Oh, have you forgotten?" After pretending to nod, Shanhe's voice suddenly changed, and he asked with a smile:
"If you had just rolled heads, would you still say it doesn't count like you do now?"
"This ......"
"I, I ......"
In an instant, the old and the young were silent.
In fact, at this point, Shanhe can also see that these words are just all kinds of reasons they are looking for in order to promote this matter.
To be honest, Shanhe doesn't blame them at this point.
Because he knew that Qin Xiaodou, the mastermind of the matter, was also kind, and she just wanted to help the two reach this win-win deal.
However, if this kind of "cheating" method is used to achieve this wish, Shanhe is afraid that his conscience will be difficult for the rest of his life, so he cannot accept this kind of rhetoric, and he is not willing to deceive himself.
After weighing it for a while, he finally made a decision:
"Well, so be it, since you said that the method just now is not right, then let's do it again......"
Hearing this, Lu Guozhong, who thought there was no play, immediately looked at the mountains and rivers in surprise, and his face was also full of excitement and joy.
And Qin Xiaodou beside him, as if resurrected with full blood, staggered to Shanhe and stuffed the coin into his hand.
But soon, I listened to the mountains and rivers for the second time:
"However, in order to get the master's reply more accurately, I will set the rules this time!"
"Okay, okay! It's up to Brother Shanhe to decide!"
"Of course, of course!"
As long as there is hope, of course Qin and Lu will not raise objections on such a "trivial matter", and they agreed in one bite.
Seeing that the two agreed, Shanhe did not delay any longer, held the coin, and turned to face the tombstone.
He bent his legs, knelt on the ground with a pop, and said with a solemn face:
"Master, disciple Shanhe has something to ask you ......"
According to Xiaodou's request, when asking this time, Shanhe deliberately added the title, and silently read the master's name in his heart, and then he talked about the cause of the incident in 1510.
After he finished speaking, Fang said piously:
"Therefore, the disciple has come to ask you for instructions today, and I hope that the master will borrow this coin and give me a clear answer. ”
Speaking of this, Shanhe paused slightly, and after two or three seconds, he continued:
"If the coin is heads, it means that you don't agree with it, master, if it is tails...... It also means that the master does not agree with this matter......"
As soon as they heard this, Lu Guozhong and Qin Xiaodou, who were standing behind them, suddenly glanced at each other with puzzled faces, I don't know if it was a mistake at the mouth of the mountains and rivers, or if they had other intentions.
But soon, they understood the original meaning of Shanhe:
"Only if the coin is erected on the ground, you agree to this matter on behalf of the master!"
