As soon as Lin Yizhi wanted to leave, he heard someone calling him behind him, he looked back, and saw an old Taoist priest standing not far behind him, twisting a silver hair under his chin, looking at him with a smile.

But I saw that this Taoist priest had a long body, white beard and hair, and was very old, but he had crane hair and a childish face, and his spirit was strong, and his complexion was ruddy. Wearing a wide yellow robe with a lifelike gossip pattern in the center. The wind blows on the body, the sleeves and beard are fluttering with the wind, and the indescribable fairy wind bones. This person is carrying a whisk of dust in his right hand, and a white cloth banner more than half as high as a person in his left hand, with a book: one hexagram and one gold. But he is a natural looker.

Before Lin Yizhi was ten years old, he also saw some scholars who knew the art of yin and yang in Fengling Village, where he lived, after all, Fengling Village was not far from the big city and Yang, so some people who went to Liyang would always pass by here.

When Lin Yi was a child, he saw three kinds of physiognomy teachers, monks, Taoists, and laymen, most of whom were iron-mouthed and golden-toothed, and looked unfathomable.

Lin Yizhi's father-in-law, Qi Xiaoqi, is quite disdainful of these people, and often does not let the little Lin Yizhi say anything more to them.

It's just that Lin Yizhi's stepmother is an honest and simple peasant woman, who has always feared the gods, so when Lin Yizhi was young, whenever he walked on the road in the village with his stepmother, if he saw all kinds of scholars, his stepmother always pulled Lin Yiyi to go over with him, and asked some good fortune and misfortune, and trivial matters.

Regardless of whether what those Xiangshi said was right or not, his stepmother always looked convinced after hearing it, and then took out a few old coins from her clothes, handed them to Xiangshi, and then bowed a few times religiously, and pulled Xiaolin Yiyi together.

When Lin Yizhi was young, he would always ask his stepmother, will these people's words really work?

The stepmother will look solemn and say, these are all immortals who know the heavens, and their sincerity will be effective.

When Lin Yizhi heard this, he would be very well-behaved and bow to those scholars with his mother.

It's just that now, Lin Yizhi is eighteen years old, and with the worship of the Freedom from Worries Sect and the enlightenment of the Freedom from Worries Infinite Dao, he has more or less his own perception and understanding of the so-called Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Machine. Although there are very few, they are no longer the same as the naughty boy in the village back then.

Because of this, the way of heaven and the heavenly machine in his heart have undergone earth-shaking changes, and he feels quite absurd about the phenomenon that there are many yin and yang in this world like a carp crossing the river.

Even if it is difficult to cultivate the void, it is difficult to teach the sect, and he does not dare to say anything about the way of heaven, not to mention those gentlemen who collect money to see their faces, but they are just deceiving ordinary people and fooling some believers who are mortals with the naked eye.

Just like his stepmother, she believed in the words of the Xiangshi all her life, feared the way of heaven wholeheartedly, and prayed to God and worship Buddha, but in the end she still suffered a tragedy and died. It was just before she died, maybe she didn't realize that her life had come to an abrupt end with such a sudden ordinary.

His stepmother, simple and honest, never kills, has always feared the gods, has always been satisfied with the environment in which he lives, and worships the gods devoutly every day, if those gods really have eyes, how can such a person who has no quarrel with the world die so miserably?

Therefore, Lin Yizhi never believed in the words of the people in this world since then, and those ethereal words could only be used to comfort him.

Today, when he saw the scholar in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his childhood, the peasant woman who had no blood relationship with him, with him, with his heart and mind, and bowed sincerely.

He sighed, the corners of his eyes moistened. Time is yellow, and the years are already a little blurred. Fengling Village, since the sudden danger at that time, he was forced to leave, he never went back, and now the people of Fengling Village, only he is the only one, the father-in-law, the villagers, I'm afraid I can't even find the bones.

Perhaps, it's time to go back and take a look.

Anyway, Liyang is also going to go, I haven't tasted the tofu flowers there for a long time, so I simply go to Liyang first, and then go back to Fengling Village, and finally take the road to the west, go straight to the Zen Silence Temple.

Lin Yizhi thought about it, and didn't pay attention to the elderly monk dressed as a Taoist priest behind him, and turned his head again and walked towards the bamboo forest.

After stopping Lin Yi, this old Taoist seemed to be very sure that he would return the salute to himself, and then asked sincerely, so he stood with his hands in his hands, trying his best to pose like a fairy wind and bones, and even closed his eyes slightly, looking detached.

He heard the footsteps, thinking that this young man must be impatient to walk towards him, maybe he will pay a big salute, and his heart is even more overjoyed, secretly said, I just hid in the depths of the bamboo forest, but I saw two people who gave him a lot of gold, this is a gold owner, when he bows to worship, he must be good to say, don't worry about him not offering gold. Haha, in this way, the eating and drinking during this period has fallen.

sighed in his heart, the delicacies in Tingshui Xuan in Liyang City were delicious and tight.

Thinking of this, he was afraid that Lin Yizhi would see it, so he carefully swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit.

The old Taoist priest had this dream, but when he heard the footsteps that seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, he was puzzled, so he looked up at the place where Lin Yizhi was standing.

At a glance, where was Lin Yizhi's figure, the black-clothed figure was about to walk out of the bamboo forest.

The old Taoist morale blew his beard and stared, he couldn't care about those fairy wind bones anymore, he was very elegant, as soon as he raised his feet, lifted the wide Taoist robe, and chased after him, shouting angrily while chasing: "Hey, I said that the black-clothed boy in front of me who has no etiquette, Dao Ye, I am kind enough to give you a fortune plan, you are not only ignoring Dao Ye, but also turning your head and running?

Although he said this, the speed under his feet really had nothing to do with his age, that speed was like a gust of wind, Lin Yizhi had already thrown him far away, but after a few breaths, the old Taoist priest rushed to the front and back feet, and the gray beard was brought up by him.

It's not that he is pestering Lin Yizhi, but he sees that Lin Yizhi has a large bag of gold in his hand, if he lets go of such a gold owner so easily, he might as well die immediately.

It's just that when he lifted his clothes and robes like this, he really judged the dust of the fairy wind and bones like two people.

Finally, he really caught up with Lin Yizhi, patted him on the shoulder, and wanted to speak, but he was already out of breath and couldn't even speak.

Seeing this, Lin Yizhi laughed in his heart: "The Taoist is chasing me, is there something wrong?"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, and he was able to breathe for a while, and finally he was able to speak smoothly: "You young man, I don't know anything, who else can I chase if I don't chase you? Besides, there is no one else here except you and me? Look at me tired, if I go to the west, I will not let you go if I am a ghost!"

Suddenly, he felt that he was too bad to say this, so he hurriedly restored his original reserve, and read solemnly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable...... Sins, sins, sins!"

In front of Lin Yizhi's eyes, the old Taoist priest who was still panting and looking embarrassed just now turned out to be out of the dust again.

Lin Yizhi seemed to be a little interested in him, and said with a smile: "But I don't know what the long call me is?"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he said with a slow and logical look: "Little brother, meeting is fate, I see that you have a good face, and I have a lot of fate, so I stopped you and wanted to make a hexagram for you." ”

Lin Yizhi laughed, and said secretly in his heart, sure enough, everyone in the world is like this, I might as well tease him, and then said: "Dao Chief's words are inappropriate, you see that I am destined, but I see you but this may not be so, besides, the world is so big, there are many people who know yin and yang physiognomy, why should I look for you, you are accurate?"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, as if he had been greatly insulted, he patted his chest and said with an unfathomable meaning: "Little brother, do you know who the identity of the poor Taoist is? If I am not sure, I am afraid that there will be no more accurate hexagrams in this world!"

Lin Yizhi smiled: "Oh, dare to ask the name of Changgao?"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he shook the rag in his left hand, and then said with a fairy wind and a bone: "Poor Dao is to have this world in mind, count this big word, the road number is Nangong, and Nangong is a gold!"

It seemed that he was still unfinished, and he continued as if he had emphasized something: "Why is it called Nangong One Gold, just because of the poor Dao divination, not much, not a lot, and only one gold for one hexagram." Hence the name. Little brother, if you want to tell a fortune, bring a gold ...... first."

With that, he stretched out his hand towards Lin Yizhi's approach. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was waiting for Lin Yizhi's hands to offer a gold.

Lin Yizhi said secretly, this old Taoist priest is afraid that he is really crazy about money. Shook his head with a smile and said, "You have nothing to do with me, and I'm not interested, say goodbye!"

As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked away.

When the old Taoist called Nangong Yijin heard this, his originally squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed Lin Yizhi's clothes, as if he didn't believe it, he said: "I think you are crazy, I want to be Nangong Yijin, the Taoism is profound, how many people are waiting in line for me to divination, I am not available, today I see that you have a good face, this is the idea of being compassionate and compassionate, and pointing you to the maze, you are unwilling, no, today you can also be divined, and you will be divined!"

Lin Yizhi felt that this old way was quite interesting, it seemed that it was really a little different from other scholars, he was not in a hurry anyway, he thought about it and said, "Nangong Dao Chang is it......"

Nangong Yijin nodded and said, "Yes, it's me!" seemed to be correcting something, and said quite dissatisfiedly: "It's not the Dao Chief, it's the Immortal Chief!"

Lin Yizhi couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Okay, good, the immortal chief is the immortal chief, you said that your divination is accurate, but it is just empty words, how can I believe it?"

When Nangong Yijin heard this, his eyes seemed to light up, and he felt that there was a door to this matter, and he was immediately overjoyed, but he had to take care of his appearance as a master, and seemed to be quite indifferent: "Poor character guarantee, if you don't believe it, give a gold first, and you will know as soon as you calculate it." ”

Lin Yizhi said with a smile: "That's it, I can't run anyway, although you have a lot of gold, but I can afford it, I won't rely on you, you first gave me this hexagram, if it's accurate, don't say one gold, three gold, how about it?"

Lin Yiyi quietly let out his divine sense while speaking, and it was not that he was suspicious, because in this bamboo forest, an old Taoist priest suddenly ran out, and he wanted to divinate him alive or dead, and he was not allowed to go, which really made him suspicious.

Lin Yizhi's divine sense looked at his body for a long time, and only then did he feel that there seemed to be a trace of true qi fluctuations on this old Taoist's body, but it was not even a weight of condensation, and it could be ignored at all, so he put his mind at ease.

It seems that this is indeed an old liar, and there is really no purpose other than cheating money.

Lin Yizhi just wanted to retract his divine sense, but when he saw this Nangong old man, he suddenly smiled faintly, with a look of insight into everything, he thought of his beard, and said softly: "Put away your divine sense, the poor road will not be rich and killed......

As he spoke, his eyes were more or less nostalgic, and he sighed: "Alas, I think that person also tried me like this back then...... Now...... Huh!"

He didn't seem to finish speaking, and then waved his hand, his clothes fluttered, and he was born with a natural style and bones, and he looked good.

"In this case, I will only say three sentences, if you say one sentence, you will give me one gold, and if you hit all three sentences, you will give me three gold! If you don't say yes, go there with you, how about the poor road not stopping you?"

After all, he looked confident.

When Lin Yizhi heard this, he couldn't help but change his opinion of this old Taoist called Nangong Yijin, could it be that he really has some ability?

It's better to really let him say it, if it's accurate, it's okay to let him do a hexagram.

Looking at Nangong Yijin again, he gently pinched his middle finger, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he talked to himself like this for a while, before he opened his eyes, stroked his beard under his chin and said loudly: "Little brother, your surname is Lin, and your double name is Yizhi, right?"

The words were amazing, and Lin Yizhi's color changed.

gasped, Lin Yizhi didn't deny or admit it, but just said for a while: "I'll listen to the second sentence!"

Nangong Yijin glanced at Lin Yizhi from the corner of his eye, and saw that his expression couldn't help changing, and said secretly with joy in his heart: I want to compare my heart with Dao Ye, you are more tender, it seems that I have bluffed you!

Then he cleared his throat and said: "You are a disciple of Mo Youfeng of the Liwu Sect, your master should be Lu Zaohe, you are guilty of absconding this time, is it right to say that the poor Dao is right...... You ...... last night"

When Lin Yizhi heard this, he was immediately shocked, he was a disciple of Liwu, and his master was Lu Wujian who was casually said by him, but it was nothing, but he was unabashed, and said loudly that he was guilty of absconding, if there were people from the Demon Sect hiding around, or there happened to be a disciple of Liwu who was passing by to search for Lin Yizhi, wouldn't it be a big trouble.

Panicked, Lin Yizhi hurriedly gestured to silence him, but he didn't expect that Nangong Yijin said that he was entering the port, but he didn't notice it at all.

Lin Yizhi had no choice but to come up and cover the old man's mouth and say, "Don't make a noise......"

That Nangong Yijin couldn't figure out the situation, his face turned pale, thinking that Lin Yizhi was going to kill people, although his mouth was covered, he still pulled his neck and shouted: "What are you going to do....... Lao Tzu...... Why is the son all the way, all the ancestors who killed people and killed people!"

Lin Yizhi was puzzled, he just covered the mouth of this old way, how did he pull out a lot of messy things from Lao Tzu and his son.

It seemed that this old man was frightened, and Lin Yizhi said in a low voice: "I let you go, you don't have to shout!"

This Nangong Lao Dao has long lost the fairy demeanor of Fang Cai, and he is busy blinking his eyes, and his head is constantly pointing up and down, looking absolutely cooperative.

Lin Yizhi let go of his hand at this time, and Nangong Yijin didn't know if he was really out of breath or what, he couldn't stop rolling his eyes, and he gasped for a while before he muttered: "I almost took the life of the Taoist master...... I don't even know how to respect the elderly!"

Lin Yizhi also felt a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "The immortal chief is offended, and I am also in a hurry, but I am really curious, how do you know these things, how do you know that I escaped from the Sect of Sorrows?"

When this Nangong Yijin heard this, he was so beautiful that he was almost going to heaven, he forked his waist, shook the rag in his hand a few times and said loudly: "What's the matter, if this little thing can't be calculated, how can I mix up on the way to this Xiangshi! Besides, who is my Nangong Yijin? How can I compare with those who eat by mouth?"

Suddenly, he blinked again and said loudly: "Not only do I know that you are absconding in fear of crime this time......"

This voice didn't seem to be much smaller than Fang Cai, so panicked that Lin Yizhi glared at him fiercely, he shrank his neck, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "I not only know that you are absconding in fear of crime this time, but also know that your enemy should be in the Silent Sea in the Far East......"

Lin Yizhi was really convinced by this old way who called himself Nangong Yijin, this old way is really like a god, and these three things are even more accurate, and they are all taken seriously by him.

Lin Yizhi hurriedly swept the floor, and said very sincerely: "Meng Lang, a talented boy, doesn't know masters, and hopes that the immortal chief will atone for his sins, but what did you just say...... Son, what the hell is going on?"

Nangong Yijin was stunned for a moment, and then said vaguely: "In a hurry, how can you still violate the king's law?"

Lin Yizhi hurriedly shook his head, and then said sincerely: "It's just that the kid really doesn't understand, how did the immortal chief know about my escape from worry?"

When Nangong Yijin heard this, he suddenly laughed with his hands, and stroked the white beard under his chin, and looked unfathomable, and a breeze came out, blowing his yellow gossip robe, the ribbon fluttered, faintly immortal.

I saw that his eyes seemed to have the meaning of vicissitudes, and he said lightly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this is a heavenly opportunity, how can it be leaked?

After that, he stretched out his hand and said, "So, bring it to ......."

Lin Yizhi nodded, he really believed that this Nangong old way might be quite unique in Dayan, maybe he was also a master, but he had just entered the WTO and was lonely.

He took out three ingots of gold from the package, put them in Nangong Yijin's hand, and arched his hand again: "The three gold are presented, but the kid still has one thing, and he wants to trouble Nangong Immortal to give Bu Yibu." ”

Nangong Yijin glanced at the gold in his hand from the corner of his eye, and seemed to weigh it lightly a few times, and then he was satisfied to put the gold into his arms.

Lin Yizhi just wanted to speak, but saw him wave his hand and said: "Little brother, it's not that I don't give you another divination, today I told you three things about you, it has been leaked, if you re-divinate this fourth hexagram, I'm afraid you will lose your life! So if you have any problems today, I won't give you another divination......

As he spoke, he was about to leave, Lin Yizhi was stunned in place, but he was quite regretful, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Immortal Chang walks slowly...... Thou art not sure today, but will you tell me tomorrow, and where shall I find thee to-morrow?"

When this Nangong saw that the three golds were in hand, he had long wanted to slip away, and when he heard him say this later, he secretly said in his heart, tomorrow, tomorrow will be really full of nonsense and show his feet...... said on his lips: "Little brother is so troubled, there is a fate to meet, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, there is destiny in the dark." One day, Poor Dao will make this hexagram for his little brother again!"

As he spoke, his feet intensified.

Lin Yizhi didn't give up, and chased a few steps forward and said, "But I don't know how the kid can meet the immortal today, is this also fate?"

When this Nangong Yijin heard this, he was already secretly happy, and while speeding up his pace, he lowered his head and whispered to himself: "Fate, if it's really fate, it's a ghost...... If it weren't for the Taoist master, I would have come out in the depths of this bamboo forest...... Seeing the conversation between you fool and those two people, how could you do this...... But this gold..."

Suddenly, I heard someone in front of me sneering: "Immortal Chief...... What a trick......"

Frightened, Nangong Yijin hurriedly raised his head, and suddenly his body stiffened halfway, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

I don't know when I was in front of him, Lin Yizhi, the fool in his mouth who was originally behind him and was thrown far away by him, was now standing in front of him, sneering at Nangong Yijin who was talking to himself with his head down.

"Damn, my grandma......" Nangong Yijin covered his mouth, and secretly said bitterly, why don't I wait until I am far away to say these words, this will cost Dao Ye's life.

Thinking of this, I had to pretend to be calm and recite the syntax number, but because of the panic, the pronunciation made people sound a little crying and laughing: "Immeasurable heaven is a respect...... It turns out that Poor Dao and the little brother are so fateful, you see what I say, soon we will meet, no, we will meet again before we have gone far......"

Lin Yizhi just sneered and didn't answer.

Nangong Yijin saw that he didn't speak, and his heart was even more bottomless, and in a blink of an eye, those two feet only fell backwards, and while quietly retreating back, he was still talking nonsense: "It's just that Poor Dao ate a bad stomach at noon, and he has a little diarrhea...... I'm going to make it easier first......"

With that, he turned around and ran backwards.

Lin Yizhi saw him running away, but he was not in a hurry, and secretly said in his heart, it should not be a problem for his cultivation to catch up with this condensed old man, so he only shouted loudly: "Okay, you old liar, thief bull's nose! Hurry up and return my three ingots of gold to me, otherwise you won't be able to leave this bamboo forest today!"

The more he shouted like this, the more Nangong Lao Dao ran. Lin Yizhi relaxed, an afterimage was already less than a zhang away from him, and shouted loudly: "You stop me!"

"Can't stand......" Nangong Yijin's mouth is really idle, running with his life, and being poor to deal with.

Lin Yizhi was also amused by him, in fact, he could have caught up with this Nangong Yijin, but if he wanted to waste his strength, he was dotted not far behind him.

In this way, this Nangong Yijin Sa girl ran out for half an hour, and she was already tired and exhausted, and she was panting. Looking back, Lin Yizhi was still following not far behind him, sneering.

Nangong Yijin put his heart sideways, and said secretly, if you don't move the real thing, I'm afraid that Dao Ye will be tired and die here today! Thinking of this, I saw him groping hard in his arms while running.

After a while, I saw that around him, yellow paper talismans were flying like rain, and he scattered these things all over the sky while running.

Finally, there were words in his mouth: "Let me swim in the three mountains and five mountains, and the little ghosts in the five directions are busy...... Five Ghost Carrying Techniques ......"

As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared in front of Lin Yizhi's eyes, Nangong Yijin, who was originally close at hand, suddenly seemed to evaporate, and disappeared out of thin air under his nose.

Lin Yizhi was a little annoyed, he even lost a liar, if he let the master know, he would definitely reward him with the title of a few stupid fools without hesitation.

Lin Yizhi secretly decided that if he had the opportunity to meet this old liar next time, he would definitely not spare him.

When he looked up, he saw that the scenery in front of him had changed for a long time.

In front of me, a tall city gate, two rows of thick vicissitudes of city walls, majestic and magnificent.

On the plaque of the city gate, there are two large characters engraved in gold.

Lin Yizhi recognized those two words.

Liyang.
