Chapter 21: Before the Cross Slope
"Why do you want to eat dragon beard noodles, and if you drink porridge, it's even more fine, right?" Li Linxi asked curiously, "By the way, why did you ask me about my age when we first met?"
Lan Luocheng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Well, this is because I know how to divination!
"Do you even need divination for what to eat for dinner?" Li Linxi was even more curious.
"Of course! If this meal was not dragon beard noodles but rice, then I would have choked just now! Even if I didn't choke to death, I would have my throat hurt, instead of coughing a few times like this!" Lan Luocheng replied as a matter of course.
Lan Luocheng's answer made Li Linxi and Ning Xiao speechless for a while. Ning Xiao asked, "If the result of the divination tells you not to eat, will you not eat?"
"Of course, my divination will never harm me!" Lan Luocheng replied affirmatively, "If the result of divination is not to let me eat, then I will definitely not eat! It is possible that the food is poisonous, there may be a fierce battle after eating, and it is possible that someone will invite me to a more luxurious meal next!"
"What you said is so reasonable, I was speechless...... Ning smiled bitterly, "By the way, the shopkeeper said before that you had calculated an earthquake?"
Lan Luocheng pursed his lips and said, "Earthquake?
Ning Xiao said curiously: "But before the shopkeeper clearly said that you predicted that there would be an earthquake in a certain place through a painting, and in order to save people, you spent a lot of money to directly buy residents who were unwilling to leave." As soon as they left, there was a direct earthquake!"
Lan Luocheng suddenly realized and said, "I said that I didn't calculate the earthquake! I got a lot of gold at that time, and I spent it even if I counted it." The hexagram told me that I was going to buy land in that place, so I just bought it all. As a result, as soon as I was about to start building a yard, an earthquake broke out directly! All the materials I had prepared were destroyed! In order to continue to build a new yard, I continued to come out to tell fortunes for others!"
"Since you are so powerful, then help Ning Xiao calculate a hexagram~~" Li Linxi suddenly pleaded.
Lan Luocheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, I didn't easily give others a hexagram, but seeing that you are still pleasing to the eye, it doesn't hurt to calculate a hexagram." What is it? Marriage?"
"Why are you fortune tellers more interested in other people's marriages?" Ning Xiao interjected.
"That's because humans are very interested in their own marriages!" replied Lan Luocheng without thinking.
Li Linxi thought for a while and asked, "Can you help us calculate the next itinerary?" We have wanted to go to a place for a long time, but we have not been there for various reasons. ”
When Lan Luocheng heard this, he asked Li Linxi and Ning Xiao to close their eyes, claiming that this was his own divination rule.
Li Linxi closed his eyes and listened attentively, as if he heard the sound of Lan Luocheng unfolding his scroll.
Of course, Ning Xiao also heard this voice, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and was about to quietly open a slit in his eyes to take a look, but his eyelids were just about to move, and suddenly he received a blow to his head, and he couldn't help but scream.
Li Linxi heard the crisp sound, Ning Xiao screamed again, and was about to open his eyes, when Lan Luocheng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Don't break open your eyes! Don't steal and play tricks! Don't think I don't know that you want to peek!" The girl pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that it was Ning Xiao who wanted to peek, but was punished by the soothsayer.
Ignoring Ning Xiao, who was rubbing his head, Lan Luocheng withdrew the left hand that had given Ning Xiao a brainstorm, and then confirmed that both of them had their eyes closed, so they folded their hands together and read the words. Li Linxi wanted to hear what the soothsayer was saying, but he couldn't hear it clearly. I think only Blue Los Angeles knows what he's talking about, right?
I saw Lan Luocheng's right hand suddenly raised high, snorted, and slapped it on the table. Then he quickly asked Ning Xiao on his left, "Ning Gongzi, please feel free to say any number between one and five!"
Ning Xiao was stunned when he heard this, "One ...... One to five?"
Lan Luocheng nodded, "Okay, it's one!" Then he looked at his right thumb, and nodded. I think it was the result of divination. She first put away the scroll in her hand, and then told the two that the divination had been completed and she could open her eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Ning Xiao said urgently: "I haven't reacted yet, why are you sure it's one?"
"The first reaction! You said it was one!" Lan Luocheng said confidently.
"Hehe, Ning Xiao's reaction is slow, but the slow reaction is also a reflection~ How is it, what is the result of divination?" Li Linxi asked.
"The results of the divination are very clear and smooth!First of all, your destination is the cross slope, right?"
Ning Xiao's eyes widened, and he looked like he had seen a ghost, "How do you know?"
Ignoring Ning Xiao's question, Lan Luocheng continued, "Well, you guys take a rest and set off tomorrow, have a smooth journey, and you will reach the cross slope smoothly in five days! The weather in the middle is also very good, there will be no beast attacks, no bandits robbing the road, and you will meet a woman!"
Ning smiled in surprise and said, "You can count all this?"
"It's worthy of being a fortune operator, it's really amazing!" Li Linxi was impressed and applauded again and again!
"Alright! The hanging is over, the noodles are all eaten! The sun is setting! I'll go back to sleep!" Lan Luocheng stood up and walked towards the guest room.
Ning Xiao and Li Linxi also finished their meal hastily, divided into two rooms, and after washing, they prepared to sleep. Ning Xiao was lying in the quilt, and suddenly thought, "Oh! I haven't asked why I met a woman on the road tomorrow!!"
――――――――I'm the dividing line in the middle of the night――――――――
"Sometimes, time flies so quickly, especially at night. As soon as the eyes are closed, when they are opened again, not only is it dawning, but it is also three poles in the sun!" Ning Xiao sighed.
Suddenly, a jade hand appeared in front of his forehead, pinching the orchid lightly, pointing directly at the center of Ning Xiao's eyebrows. Although Ning Xiao hadn't reacted yet, his body couldn't help it, and he used his strength to make it take eight steps to chase his dreams. Although the feet stepped forward, the whole person slashed backwards, and the posture was extremely strange, but it was swift and powerful. Who knew that the jade hand was three points faster, stretched slightly, and knocked on the door of Ning Xiao's head with a finger.
"That's not a reason for you to sleep lazy!!" Li Linxi said angrily.
"Oh, don't be angry, if you're angry, you'll get wrinkles!" Ning Xiao said as he and Li Linxi walked briskly towards the cross slope, and it was almost noon at this time. "Besides, the fortune operator has calculated for us, and the road will definitely be smooth, there will be no beast attacks, and there will be no ......"
Speaking in general, Ning Xiao suddenly stopped explaining and looked straight ahead. Li Linxi followed his gaze and saw a woman wearing a blue silk hooded Taoist robe, standing beside the road with a picture scroll in her hand, and a donkey behind her, foaming at the mouth, lying half-dead on the ground.
"Oh oh! My donkey is suffering from heat stroke! I'm glad I met you! No wonder my hexagram this morning said that there are some twists and turns, but there are old people to help! Ning Gongzi come and help me with my luggage!"
Ning smiled: "(⊙o⊙)..."
Li Linxi: "(⊙o⊙)..."
This is the woman they met on the road?
