Chapter 43 God reckoned with Yuan Shoucheng
West Gate Street, Chang'an City
Bustling with traffic, the streets are lined with shops.
The liquor shops next to the street erect flags and display eye-catching, the loud shouts of all kinds of vendors are heard on the side of the road from time to time, the pavilions on both sides are lined up one after another, the height is staggered, and there are tea houses, wine shops, inns, rice shops, cloth shops, butcher shops, pawns, temples and so on.
Li Biao was walking aimlessly on the crowded streets, ignoring the bustling scenery around him.
While walking, he suddenly heard the commotion in front of him, the sound of people, and the noise, Li Biao was curious for a while, and he was idle, so he simply squeezed in to watch, and saw a large group of people surrounding a brown-clothed warlock who was over the age of six, and was asking him for advice there. ”
While everyone was queuing up, the brown-clothed warlock looked at the empty hands of many people, shook his head, and then said, "I'm afraid you don't know the rules of my Yuan Shoucheng's divination, right?"
He lifted a golden koi fish jumping around from the side, held the koi in one hand, stretched out three fingers in the other, and said to everyone: "I Yuan Shoucheng has three rules for divination, but I have to say it, so as not to make everyone wait in vain and miss everyone's time." ”
"Yuan's three rules are: this is the first one, each hexagram collects one tael of silver, plus a carp, don't you ask me why Lao Yuan?"
"This second article, Yuan only counts three trigrams every day, and if there are more, it doesn't count, and no matter how much money he gives, it doesn't count!"
"In this third article, if Yuan's divination is not accurate, he will not take a penny, but not only will he not take a penny, but you can smash the signboard of my hexagram shop because of this! Yuan has no complaints. ”
"Oh, it turns out that this is the famous Master Yuan Shoucheng Yuan, no wonder he is full of confidence!"
"No, he is Master Yuan Shoucheng of my Tang Dynasty, and I heard that he is still the uncle of Lord Yuan Tiangang, the supervisor of my Chaoqin Heavenly Prison!"
"......Shhh This divination is a unique study of the Yuan family in Chang'an, and you will know it later. ”
The onlookers talked about it for a while, but after listening to Master Yuan's words, only three trigrams are counted every day, and these three trigrams cost a lot of money, requiring one or two silver plus a carp, so the people who were ready to come to divination immediately dispersed, leaving only a few people here to watch curiously to see how he Master Yuan decisively.
Li Biao's heart moved, thinking about the time when he was extremely confused right now, why not let this Master Yuan calculate and calculate, first, to resolve the confusion in his chest, and secondly, to see if he could point out the way forward for his confusion.
Thinking of this, Li Biao hurriedly ran to a raw fish shop not far away, bought a good koi, and came to Yuan Shoucheng with the carp.
"Hello master! Li Biao handed over the koi carp and presented a silver ticket worth one or two lines of silver, and the white-clothed boy next to Master Yuan accepted the things as usual.
"What do you want to ask?" Master Yuan asked with a smile.
Li Biao thought for a while and said, "I want to ask myself where I want to go in the future." ”
"Oh?" Yuan Shoucheng glanced at Li Biao's face, then handed him three copper coins and simply taught him how to shake the hexagram.
According to Master Yuan's request, Li Biao put three small copper coins in the palm of his hand, thought about what he was asking for, and silently recited that the gods blessed him from all walks of life to relieve his predicament, and then shook the three copper coins with his palms.
After shaking for a moment, he immediately scattered the three copper coins on the ground together, and repeated this several times, and the hexagram was completed.
"It turns out that it's a hexagram of water and mountains!" Yuan Shoucheng looked at the hexagram on the ground, thoughtful.
"Sir, what does this hexagram mean?" Li Biao asked curiously.
"This hexagram is a mountain and water hexagram, there are mountains above and underwater, and the mountains and rivers are blocked, and it is difficult to pass. The word "foot" is foot, which means that the foot is tired of walking, and it can't walk, and there is a sign that the mountains and rivers are exhausted. This hexagram is very obvious, it is enough to show that you are in a dilemma right now!"
"Sir, I am decisive! I admire! I admire!" Li Biao had to accept this Master Yuan, and he said what he was thinking, so he hugged his fists and thanked him.
"I have a sentence to advise, I don't know if to say it or not?" Yuan Shoucheng said.
"Sir, it doesn't hurt to speak, just listen to your ears in the next place. Li Biao responded.
"Can you report your name and birth date first?" asked Yuan Shoucheng.
"It's ?。。 Li Biao was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.
"Under the surname Mu Minghu, the eight characters of the birth date are the year of Bingyin. ”
Yuan Shoucheng pinched his fingers slightly, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, there is a lot of wood under the eight characters, and it is three o'clock to come to my hexagram shop, Mao is wood, there must be a wooden word in your name!"
“。。 Li Biao was stunned for a while.
Seeing Li Biao's expression in his eyes, Yuan Shoucheng smiled faintly, picked up the pen and wrote hard, I don't know what I wrote for Li Biao, Yuan Shoucheng dried the ink with his mouth, and then folded the paper and handed it to Li Biao.
"Let's take it back and take a closer look. Yuan Shoucheng confessed.
"Child, today is full of trigrams, and we should go back. Yuan Shoucheng and the boy in white cleaned up briefly, and quickly removed the hexagram stall and closed the door of the hexagram shop.
At this time, Li Biao had also left, found a secluded inn on this Ximen Street and stayed there, closed the door, and after putting down the package, Li Biao opened the piece of paper handed over to him by the hexagram master Yuan Shoucheng, and looked at it under the lamp.
"I lost my father at a young age and was disciplined, and I fled from all over the world.
It is necessary to know the karma of life, only to come late and early.
If he meets the true dragon pardon in the future, the green lantern will end as a companion. ”
After reading Yuan Shoucheng's forty-two-character sentence, it was really heart-wrenching, and it hit this weakness in Li Biao's heart, Li Biao held this piece of paper in his hand, and looked down at the bustling crowd downstairs from the window of the inn, and was silent for a while. At night, Li Biao was lying on the bed still thinking about Yuan Shoucheng's forty-two-character sentence, turning over and over and over and unable to sleep, and he couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Li Biao simply got up early and went straight to Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram shop without breakfast.
When I arrived at the door of the hexagram shop, I saw that the boy in white was unloading the door panel, preparing to open the door.
"Little brother, is your husband up?" asked Li Biao with some anxiety.
"My Mr. Yuan has always gone to bed early and got up late, you can wait another hour. The boy in white had an indescribable pride on his immature face.
Li Biao then entered the room, and saw that the boy in white didn't pour himself a cup of tea, so he didn't care about him and cleaned up by himself, so he found a place to sit down and waited patiently.
After waiting for an hour, Yuan Shoucheng walked out of the back of the house, stretched his waist, and said, "Good sleep, good sleep!"
"Before others perceive me, those in front of me don't realize it. Hahaha. Yuan Shoucheng laughed loudly and walked into the front hall.
"Mr. Yuan, you're early!" Li Biao nodded and stepped forward to say hello.
"Oh, it's you. Sit down and serve tea. Yuan Shoucheng looked at the person who asked for the hexagram yesterday, and as he spoke, he sat down on the main seat by himself, ignoring that Li Biao was nodding his head at this time.
Li Biao saw that this Master Yuan was a little withdrawn and eccentric, so he sat down at the next place, and the boy in white poured himself a cup of tea.
"Master, I. . . Li Biao saw that Master Yuan was sipping tea with his eyes closed, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
