Chapter 2 No Tao, no Buddha, no immortals, no demons
The ancestor came to the top of the Tianshan Mountain to cast seven divine swords, and let the disciples walk the rivers and lakes with swords, follow their own path, and realize their own way!
Ji Chen's master was young and did not get his sword, and after the death of his ancestor Xian, he was guarded by Ji Chen's master. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For hundreds of years, the snow on the Tianshan Mountains has melted, and none of the seven senior brothers who went down to the Tianshan Mountains with swords have returned.
In the third spring season, when Ji Chen was relieved at night, he watched his master stare at the night for a long time, and Sirius hung lonely in the night sky.
"Have you ever seen the peach blossoms blooming on this Tianshan Mountain?"
"Master, who are you waiting for. Ji Chen didn't understand what the master was thinking, he only knew that at night in the third spring season, the wind was still very cold.
"I didn't wait for anyone, and no one will come. ”
The master was wearing a robe, looking from the top of the Tianshan Mountain, the yellow sand outside the Tianshan Mountain was full of eyes, and he couldn't see through it at a glance, and the master seemed to have been decadent for a long time that day!
......
"I'm back!"
The young man entered Hangu Pass and shouted, and the people around him looked sideways.
"Who is this, like a fool!"
"I haven't seen the world at first glance, the wild people outside the gate. ”
Ji Chen was full of anger, even the veterans guarding the checkpoint were shocked, and finally took a break under the winter sun in this afternoon, but they were disturbed by the bastard boy in front of him.
"Go away, go away, don't make a fuss here. The veteran was reluctant to get up, but pointed at Ji Chen with his finger and motioned for him to leave.
"Hehe!" Ji Chen swaggered into Hangu Pass.
"Hey, fellow, your daughter is good. ”
Ji Chen showed a smile of patience, and raised his eyebrows at the woman next to him by the way.
The old man lowered his head and urged the woman: "Who ...... Who is your fellow countryman, daughter, let's go, this person is so frivolous, most likely not a good person. ”
However, the woman glanced at the man in front of her a few more times, his face was like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was in rags, but it was still difficult to hide his unruly temperament.
The woman couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and the old man hurriedly pulled the woman away.
"What are you looking at, yo! Next to this is your wife, who looks like a watery ......" Ji Chen smiled.
"Let's go, most of these people are from the Golden Knife Gang!"
Hangu Pass used to be one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses in the Dali Dynasty, because it was closed in the valley, it was as dangerous as a letter, so it was called Hangu Pass. It used to be an ancient battlefield where war horses neighed, and it was known as "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are more than ten thousand mokes".
Emperor Taizong once refused the Northwest Hu people to be outside the pass here, causing the Northwest Hu people to ambush millions of corpses and bleed and drift.
In the past few decades, with the iron cavalry of the dynasty all the way to the west, the Hu people in the northwest were slaughtered, and the entire northwest was included in the territory of the dynasty, and the newly built 'Chaolong Pass', the throat of the east and west, overshadowed the original famous Hangu Pass.
This Hangu Pass has lost its original role, and the ancient book said that 'the twin peaks are towering next to the river, and the battlefield of Hangu since ancient times' has also become a thing of the past.
Now it's just veterans stationed here.
Although Hangu Pass is still not guarded by strong soldiers, it is still an important place for trade. There was an endless stream of businessmen from the north and south, and the crowd around them was mixed, just like what the man said just now, this Golden Knife Gang was the largest gang in this hundred miles.
The male soldiers all went to Chaolong Pass, leaving a group of veterans stationed here, the veterans are old, and they don't bother to pay attention to these things, while there are still some days, one day is counted as a day, isn't it good to bask in the lazy sun in winter?
The days of fighting and killing are far away! But it hasn't been peaceful lately......
Hangu Pass, which was originally a military garrison, is now a lively town.
"Come and take a look, the popular headdress in the south, hey, do you want to take a look at the ......?"
"Fragrant and tender fragrant corn, hot ears of corn. ”
......
A shout poured into Ji Chen's ears, it was not noisy, he had stayed on the Tianshan Mountain for a long time, but he felt a little popular.
In this lively shouting, there is a person who is particularly conspicuous, this person is already old, his left hand keeps brushing the little beard left, holding a book in his right hand, wearing a long robe, sitting in front of the table, behind him a bamboo pole casually leaning against the wall, hanging a small strip of cloth, writing 'Counting the Soul Hexagram'.
It was originally a fortune teller, and it was not easy to calm down and read a book in the middle of the city, but the book in the old man's hand attracted Ji Chen's attention - the third book.
It is rumored that this book was written by Zhuge Kongming, and it can deduce the past, present and future lives of the hexagram questioners.
Ji Chen stopped in front of this small stall, and his master also knew the number of numerology, but unfortunately the master never told fortunes for others.
"Ten words to read, twenty words to palmistry, ...... marriage"
The old man felt that someone was coming, but he didn't want to look up, and continued to look at the book in his hand.
"Palmistry!" Ji Chen said.
"Okay, bring the handle. The old man finally put down the book in his hand and motioned for Ji Chen to stretch out his hand.
The old man looked at Ji Chen's palmistry and pondered for a moment.
"Your palmistry is a little strange?"
Ji Chen smiled secretly in his heart, Xiangshi is like this, and then he will say that you have a disaster of blood and light, and only he can break it in the world, and help you break the disaster of blood and light, and you must be seriously injured and lose your life, so you understand......
The old man gently stroked Ji Chen's hand, and his color turned up, as if he had seen a rare treasure, his eyes were shining, and then he disappeared, shaking his head vigorously.
"You have four no's in this palmistry. The old man picked up the book again and said silently.
"Four no's, which four no's?" this old man will be foolish.
"No, no Buddha, no immortal, no demon!"
"No Tao, no Buddha, no immortals, no demons?" Ji Chen was surprised, what is this, he said a lot of nonsense, what do you understand?
The old man didn't want to say much, but just urged Ji Chen to leave quickly, don't stop him from opening the door to do business, even if he doesn't want to accept the ten cents, he won't accept the first one to open the door.
This palmistry, four years ago, the old man also saw it, but the person was 'like a Tao, like a Buddha, like a fairy, like a demon'.
He once asserted that the man would definitely be famous in less than three years, but after four years, there was not a white-haired swordsman in the rivers and lakes.
The old man remembered that the man had white hair and a sword in his hand, no! The man was holding stars in his hands, the sun and the moon on his head, and there was dragon qi around his body, such a vision could not be seen by ordinary people, but he was different, he would be proficient in the art of looking at qi since he was a child, and he could naturally see it at a glance.
There is an endless stream of businessmen from the north and south of Hangu Pass, and the news here is naturally also accessible to the eight poles, the old man has been waiting, he wants to know if the hexagram he calculated four years ago is true, but today he did not wait for the news, and today he met another one. The old man didn't want to look up at him, what if there was a man with the sun and moon on his head.
Ji Chen laughed in his heart, good guy, this is going to be the end of the day, I am the first to tell the fortune.
In the eyes of others, this old gentleman just found a place to read books.
Before Ji Chen got up, a team of people and horses came over violently, and those who stood in the way were kicked to the ground.
"Get out of the way, you don't have long eyes, my eldest brother goes out, don't you shrink your head, what to see!"
"The people of the Golden Knife Gang, flash flash flash ......"
The team of people walked swaggeringly, much more chic than Ji Chen's entry into Hanguguan, at least Ji Chen himself thought so.
The team of people stopped in front of the old man's stall, a man with five big and three thick feet, stretched out his big hand and patted Ji Chen's shoulder, the man imagined that this thin arm and thin leg would be lifted and thrown aside like a chicken, but he found that this person was sitting on the stool like a boulder and did not move at all.
"Fatty, what are you doing?" A thin man slashed at Ji Chen with a knife, and Ji Chen got up and slashed at his clothes.
"Just heard, forgive me!" Ji Chen smiled innocently, his eyes staring at the thin man like cold water.
The thin man suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy, and his back was soaked, a look he had only seen when the helper was killing.
At this time, a big hand slapped the thin man, "What the hell, the old fairy's stall can't see blood." "One came out of the crowd, obviously the big brother that the gang was talking about.
The man didn't look at Ji Chen, and sat down directly, "The old fairy is not frightened, my subordinates are not sensible, you don't have to be surprised!"
The old man said: "No wonder, you have seen more of this kind of thing than me." ”
The man smiled embarrassedly, he was the second leader of the Golden Knife Gang, he killed people and set fires on weekdays, and his subordinates were also curious, how could the arrogant and domineering second leader be so polite to people on weekdays.
The second master said, "Old fairy, I want to ......"
The old man interrupted him and said to himself, "Your Yin Hall is black, and there has been a bloody disaster recently. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can my second master have a bloody disaster. "A person with no eyesight obviously doesn't know what the situation is now, he doesn't know how important the 'blood and light disaster' in the mouth of the old man is to his second master, pointing at the old man is a burst of scolding.
The second master looked at this little brother who didn't know whether to live or die, he was already concerned about this bloody disaster, and he was disturbed by this ignorant life, his heart was furious, and he hit the little brother's chest with a punch, and suddenly the little brother flew out upside down, his chest was sunken, and the blood in his mouth was mixed with saliva flowing out, and soon he lay motionless on the ground.
"Old fairy, my subordinates don't understand the rules and insult your ears, don't be surprised!" the second master looked at the old man motionlessly and continued, "Excuse me, is there a way to solve it?"
The old man nodded, "There is naturally a way, don't go out within ten days, this bloody disaster will naturally pass." ”
"Okay, good!" the second master was overjoyed, "As usual, the murderer asked for forty dollars!"
"No, I don't need money this time, it's not too late to wait for you to get through this catastrophe!"
"Thank you, old fairy."
Soon the second boss left with everyone, and as for the corpse lying on the ground, it would naturally be cleaned up by the people of the government.
The old man glanced at the sun, got up and cleaned up the stall, cleaned up halfway, turned to Ji Chen and said, "There is still a way to solve that person's blood and light disaster, do you want to know?"
"Oh," Ji Chen said curiously, "If Mr. is willing to say, I will naturally listen to it." ”
"That's killing you!" said the old man.
They both burst out laughing.
