Chapter 81: Hate (Happy Christmas Eve)
A man and a horse galloped on the official road paved with bluestone slabs, and at noon, people were sleepy and tired. Liu Yibai had no choice but to stop at a tea stall on the side of the road to rest, and set off after he had recuperated his spirits.
After instructing the shopkeeper to take the 'Fire Phoenix' to the stable to feed the forage, Liu Yibai found a place to sit down.
At noon, the weather was really hot and humid, and there were many people at the tea stalls. It is still necessary to cross the Silent Hill from the post station in front, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are many bandits. Most passers-by will choose to go to this tea stall to rest for a while.
"Go and go, don't go to the master to eat and drink. ”
Liu Yibai poured tea and saw someone making a noise. couldn't help frowning slightly, looking for prestige. I saw a person in a black and white robe at the next table, holding a thin yellow bamboo pole, and a tattered canvas hung on the pole, on which the words 'immortal guidance' could be vaguely seen. Just as he was saying something to a few big men who were drinking tea, the big man looked impatient, and waved his hand to drive the man away.
"This strong man, seeing that your heavenly court is full and the earth pavilion is round, at first glance, it is a statue of great wealth and nobility, but the Yin Hall is a little black, and there should be a bloody disaster recently!" The Taoist was pushed but not annoyed, and smiled slightly.
The man was praised very happily at first, and then his face turned red, he slapped the table, lifted the collar of the Taoist, and said angrily: "Grandpa, I just don't believe in you crooked ways." You're so good at calculating, didn't you calculate that you have a bloody plague right now?"
With that, he threw his fist into the man's face.
"Ahh The man screamed, withdrew his fist, and looked down at a white steamed bun that had fallen on the table. "Who? Who's the throwing the steamed buns?"
"I threw it at you. ”
The man looked for prestige and saw Liu Yibai leisurely 'tasting' the broken tea powder in the bowl with a copper plate and three taels. He shouted, "Who are you taking advantage ......of?
Liu Yibai's eyebrows were raised slightly, his right hand flicked lightly, and a chopstick was inserted straight in front of the man's table, and he swallowed the next few words back into his stomach.
When the person next to him saw this, he knew that he had encountered a hard stubble. Hurriedly whispered a few words to the man, pulled him and hurried away.
"Little brother, good martial arts. The man's eyes flashed, and he walked towards Liu Yibai's table with a smile. He was not polite, sat down across from him and poured a cup of tea. "Little brother, look at your heavenly court, the earth pavilion is round, at first glance, it is a rich and noble image, but the Yin Hall is a little black, there should be a bloody disaster recently!"
Liu Yibai was stunned, how could this sound so familiar? This deception should also prepare more lines, it's okay to be professional. Speechless, he said, "The Taoist has already told another person this. ”
The Taoist patted his head and suddenly said, "Look at the memory of the poor Dao." Then he whispered mysteriously: "But little brother, you have indeed had a bloody disaster recently, but fortunately you met the poor road and are so close to you." I'll pass you a method, and I'm sure it's good luck and avoiding evil. ”
This is too unreliable, right, you don't make drafts when you lie. Liu Yibai thought about it and had a countermeasure in his heart. took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said sharply: "The Taoist chief is really a god." I'm afraid that the slave family is coming these days..... "After speaking, he made a shy appearance.
"Vomit ....." The man's face froze, and he had already scolded Liu Yibai ten thousand times in his heart. I've seen people talk nonsense, but I've never seen someone who can come with their eyes open and their mouths open.
"Ahem.... Little brother, you're really funny. ”
"The Taoist Chief's humor is less than 1/10,000, but it is more appropriate for you to tell the girl's family, I am sure they will believe it. ”
When the chief heard this, he burst out laughing. Zhengse said: "Poor Dao Jiuling, Liu Gongzi is going to Luoyang?"
Liu Yibai's face condensed, could this person be a master, hidden deeply? He could tell his surname and where he was going at a glance. He lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Jiuling Dao has good skills. ”
The Jiuling Daoist stroked his beard and smiled: "Where is it..... Carved insects...."
"It's just a little trick to carve insects. Although Liu is not well-known, it is not difficult for the Taoist to know my name as long as he has seen my portrait. This official road goes directly from Jinling to Luoyang, not to Luoyang but to go anywhere!"
was robbed by Liu Yibai, and the Jiuling Dao people were not annoyed, and they wanted to let him see his ability.
"Liu Gongzi still doesn't believe in poverty. He looked up at the hot sun outside, and seemed to say to himself: "It's a very hot day, if there is a cool breeze, it will be fine if there is a light rain." ”
Jiuling Dao got up stiffly, stepped on the ground with both feet, danced lightly with Buddha dust in his hands, and recited words in his mouth: "The wind and rain are coming quickly, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law!"
Leisurely sat down and took a sip of tea, and smiled at Liu Yibai: "Young Master Liu, this storm will come in a moment." ”
This Jiuling Taoist is like a dancing god in his own performance, Liu Yibai almost didn't swallow the broken tea in the cup into his stomach, forced back a smile, and praised: "The Taoist is really a good skill, and he is convinced." ”
Seeing the perfunctory expression in Liu Yibai's expression, Jiuling Dao stroked his beard and asked: "Poor Dao is proficient in the art of Zhou Yi gossip, and he also knows a little bit about face, palmistry, and word measurement. Today, I have a fate with my son, so I will count it for my son for free. ”
"Word measurement?" Liu Yibai was a little curious, seeing that he didn't seem to be coming to cheat money, he had nothing to do anyway. smiled: "Then bother the Taoist to test a word." ”
Jiuling Daoren nodded solemnly, took out paper and ink out of thin air, handed it to Liu Yibai, and made a gesture of please.
Liu Yibai didn't think twice, and wrote a big character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the paper.
"Hate?" Jiuling Daoist took the rice paper and glanced at Liu Yibai deeply. "Look at the hateful word, something ends. Dissatisfaction with life affects emotions. The left is "heart" and the right is "gen", and "gen" is the end, so the hatred of the heart ends here. ”
Liu Yibai lowered his head and thought about the words of the Nine Bell Daoist, and when he looked up, the Nine Bell Daoist had disappeared out of thin air.
"Little brother, let's meet again. ”
There was a hearty laugh in the air, and the source of the sound could not be found.
Liu Yibai's expression was solemn, and he didn't know why he had written the word 'hate' just now, and why he hadn't written other words? Could it be that there is a definite number in the dark?
The sky suddenly became gloomy, quickly obscuring the scorching sun in the sky, and a soft cool breeze blew in his face, blowing Liu Yibai's black hair like a long waterfall.
The rain began to fall. It was so sudden.....
"This damn weather, why did it suddenly rain. ”
"Hey. You kid still don't know what to do? ”
"It's not easy to walk into the mountains later. Hell, it was such a big poison day a moment ago. ”
A bunch of people came over from the official road scolding, interrupting Liu Yibai's thoughts.
Looking up, he said, "It's you......."
