Chapter 173: A Wonderful Conversation
Wangshu heard that the old man had ten thousand years of cultivation, and hurriedly looked at the old man seriously, and was a little surprised to see that the old man actually had the cultivation of the late Taiyi period, Wangshu didn't pay attention to the old man's cultivation at first, she wanted to experience the mortal life, and she didn't investigate the strength of the old man, and the old man's breathing exercises were very good, and she didn't notice it.
Wangshu saw that the old man had the late cultivation of Taiyi, and it was not wrong to think of the old man's words, with the old man's skills, he knew some fortune-telling skills, and he could indeed deduce many things about unenlightened creatures, and the old man was likely to travel in the mortal world for the sake of preaching the Tao.
But if you want to know that Wang Shu has Taisu, it is absolutely impossible, it is difficult for a monk in the late stage of Da Luo, even a saint, to deduce, not to mention that it is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Wang Shu didn't understand, and decided to ask again.
"Old man, can you tell me whether the child I am pregnant with is male or female?" Wang Shu restrained all her breath, the old man must not be able to find out her cultivation, she wants to see what the old man is capable of.
The old man stretched out his hand, Taihao took out some shell coins and handed them to the old man, the old man quickly put away the shell coins, picked up the tattered turtle shell on the table, shook it a few times, and inhaled some sandalwood, the turtle shell emitted green smoke, turning into a "child" word, the old man put down the turtle shell, glanced at Wangshu, and closed his eyes and wandered out of the world.
Wangshu frowned, the meaning of the word "son" is too wide, and most people will think that it is a son, which is in line with the psychology of the child, and also makes customers satisfied, but "son" can mean all children, regardless of men and women.
"Girl, don't believe the old liar, there were many people who used to ask him to calculate, and he also used the turtle shell to make a puff of green smoke, and he could only become a "son" word, and there was nothing to do when he gave birth to a boy, but when someone gave birth to a girl and made trouble with him, he would talk nonsense. An old man selling cloth next to him kindly reminded him that it seemed that the two old men had been neighbors for a long time, and the fortune teller did not take care of the surrounding relationship.
"Yes, girl, we know that you are eager to ask for a son, you can go to the Huangtian Temple to worship, although the Huangtian rarely appears, but it is better than this old liar. An old woman next to her said kindly, teaching Wangshu as a passerby.
"Yes, girl, the emperor manages everything between heaven and earth, you can go to worship the emperor for anything, although the emperor is very busy, but those temple blessings will not deceive people. Another old man persuaded him.
"Girl, this old liar was smashed a few days ago, if it weren't for his age, he would have been beaten, just because of the indiscriminate fortune-telling, and he couldn't be accurate. The people around persuaded that the temptation of beauty was too great, and these people would probably watch the excitement on the side.
Wangshu looked at Tai Hao with a smile on his face, looking surprised that you would still manage the matter of giving birth to boys and girls, Tai Hao touched his nose, he didn't find that he was so powerful, and he didn't care about any trivial things, as if he usually divided some incarnations to manifest spirits, do some things like spreading nectar, treating diseases, and dispelling evil spirits.
If Wangshu was an ordinary mortal, she would have been persuaded to leave, but she knew that the fortune teller was Taiyi Jinxian, so she was ready to break the casserole and ask in the end, and then asked: "You said I was pregnant with a boy?"
The old man stretched out his hand again, Taihao once again performed the duty of the wallet, took out some shell coins and handed them to the old man, after the old man put away the shell coins, he said softly: "What the girl said, but I didn't say it, the secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
"Girl, I can't believe it, look, I've been cheated of money again, every time this old liar is asked, he says that the secret of heaven must not be revealed. The people around him paused their heads, looking like they didn't listen to the old man and suffered in front of them.
"Then you mean girls?" Wangshu then asked.
Taihao consciously took out a handful of shell coins and stuffed them to the old man, and the old man put away the shell coins and said, "Cathode." ”
Wangshu frowned, the cathode can be said to be a girl, or it can be said that the cathode is yangsheng, that is, a boy, and he didn't get an answer.
Wangshu still had to continue to ask, and wanted to ask a question that she had always wanted to know but couldn't get an answer, and said, "Old man, tell me what the fate of my child will be in the future?"
Taihao consciously handed the old man some shell coins again, the old man looked at Tai Hao, looking like you are very sensible, after putting away the shell coins, he spit out a few words: "It's unspeakably expensive." ”
The magic stick is really strong, every time a few ambiguous words, it will be exchanged for a handful of money, no wonder people are demolished every day, and they have to come out to set up stalls, as long as they get a big deal every once in a while, they can live a very chic life.
Wangshu was a little dizzy, from beginning to end, the old man didn't say anything substantial, he had already received the money four times, and at the beginning he said "three please stay" for free, so that Wangshu stopped, Wangshu came back to his senses, this old man is a liar, seeing Taihao and Wangshu together, he guessed that the two were husband and wife, just say three people, as long as Wangshu is really pregnant with a child, you can make Wangshu stop.
Wang Shu was just about to get up, but he stopped again and asked again: "I want to hear what is unspeakable, you must be specific, don't lie to me with ambiguous words." ”
After Wangshu finished speaking, the coercion of Da Luo in the later period approached the old man, pressing the old man to the ground, Wangshu was angry, she was a dignified queen, the wife of the saint, because she cared too much about her daughter, she was deceived four times by a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Wangshu glanced at Taihao hatefully, and blamed Taihao for not reminding her.
In Wangshu's mind, it is impossible for Taihao to calculate the scheming of the saints without seeing through the old man, but Taihao actually gave money four times very idiotically, and Wangshu was the master of the house, and he listened to Wangshu everything, which made Wangshu secretly hate.
The old man stood up casually, ignoring the ridicule around him, those people thought that the old man had been retributed, and he fell to the ground, and the old man sat on the chair again, looking at Wangshu, Wangshu frowned, and found that he didn't understand the old man, obviously facing a big Luo Jinxian who couldn't resist, and it looked like nothing had happened.
Wangshu turned his head, looked at Taihao, and asked, "Husband, are you doing your tricks?"
"No, absolutely not, it may be that this old man is too thick-skinned, and even the coercion of Da Luo Jinxian can resist. Taihao replied to Wangshu with a smile.
"If you want me to say yes, but the reward I want is too high, you can't be the master, you need the person in charge to be the master. The old man spoke, but his eyes looked at Taihao.
"I can't decide what I need, just say what you need, as long as you say it, I can give it. Wangshu was angry with the old man again, she didn't believe that a Taiyi Golden Immortal could offer any conditions, there were things she couldn't give.
Taihao patted Wangshu on the shoulder, Wangshu got up suspiciously, Taihao sat face-to-face with the old man, the two looked at each other, looked at each other for a long time, and no one spoke first.
"How long have you been setting up a stall here?" Tai Hao's patience has never been his strong point, so he asked with a smile.
"Three years. The old man did not stretch out his hand to ask for money again, but stretched out three fingers and walked away.
"Purposely set up a fortune telling stall here?" Tai Hao asked.
"Do it at will, and those who are destined will come by themselves. The old man replied inscrutablely.
"How many times have you been beaten?" asked Tai Hao with a playful expression.
"Occasionally, I leaked the secret of heaven and was thundered by the sky. The old man replied without blushing and out of breath.
Wangshu was confused by the conversation between the two, and was listening to the book of heaven again, she patted Taihao on the shoulder, and motioned to Taihao to ask about the unspeakable things, she wanted to hear what the old man said about Taisu's future, Taihao motioned to Wangshu to listen to the conversation between the two first.
"I need a housekeeper, would you like to do it?" Tae-ho got to the point.
"Manage what?" asked the old man, tilting his head.
"I want to be a landlord, I have a piece of land, and I can manage everything on the land. Taihao replied seriously.
"How big is the territory?" the old man asked in detail.
"My territory is bigger than you think, you can get as big as you want. Taihao returned with a serious face.
Wangshu couldn't listen to it anymore, and wanted to pull Taihao away, these two people asked inexplicably, which made her head even more dizzy, did Taihao want to find a Taiyi Jinxian as a housekeeper and collect rent everywhere, Wangshu looked at Taihao, and then looked at the old man, the two must have some connection, but they couldn't see it, she not only guessed the identity of the old man.
"What pay can you give me?" the old man also got to the point, talking about the treatment.
"What do you want?" Tai Hao took out the tricks of those interviewers in his previous life and threw the problem to the old man.
"I want to be paid a lot, I'm a capable person. "The old man emphasized that he was very capable and had excellent skills.
"Tell me how much you want to be paid, and I'll think about it. Taihao continued to leave the problem to the old man.
The old man fell into deep thought, looked at the turtle shell and incense burner on the table, and said, "I want eight floors." ”
"Old fellow, you're too greedy. Taihao patted the table, very dissatisfied with the old man's lion opening his mouth, looking like if you don't reduce it, you won't have to negotiate.
"It is because of greed that we have the motivation to take care of the territory. The old man resolutely did not let go, saying that the more he takes, the more he will pay.
"I want to know why you want the eighth floor?" Taihao wanted to ask clearly to see if the old man had the ability to take on the promising career of a housekeeper.
"I'm on the fourth floor alone, and you've agreed. The old man waved four fingers.
Taihao nodded, and asked again, "What about the four floors?"
The old man pointed to the turtle shell on the table and said, "He wants two layers." ”
Taihao nodded again, looked at the incense burner and asked, "There are two more floors?"
The old man pointed to the incense burner again and said, "He also wants two layers." ”
Taihao smiled helplessly: "Old guy, you are too ruthless, why don't you occupy the remaining two floors?"
The old man shook his head and said, "If it is full, it will overflow, there is no absolute perfection between heaven and earth, and two layers must be left as a buffer, and it cannot be monopolized." ”
"By the way, old fellow, what's your name? Since you're going to be my housekeeper, why don't I give you a name?" Tai Hao smirked.
"Poor Dao has a name, called Lao Dan. The old man hurriedly replied, and when Taihao was about to say the name, he interjected to report the name, and resolutely stopped letting others take the name.
