Chapter 23: Fortune telling
The figure in the mist walked slowly with a cane, and in a few blinks he arrived in front of Xue Chen, looked at the destroyed trees in the four fields, the broken places were clean and neat, and said with a smile: "Bastard boy, the cultivation of internal strength is extraordinary." ”
Xue Chen saw that the person who came was about sixty years old, wearing a light-colored blue robe, wearing a black hat, holding a shabby cloth flag in his right hand, the proposition words written in black pen and ink on the flag flickered, and a thin bamboo cane in his left hand, which was the blind fortune teller who had cheated in Haitian City before.
Xue Chen suddenly rolled in anger and reprimanded: "You liar again, look at how I clean you up." ”
With that, he bowed his body, and slashed at the old man's neck with a knife in his left hand.
When the blind fortune teller saw Xue Chen appear in front of him instantly, he didn't panic, he still smiled, and with a slight twist of his slightly stiff body, he turned sideways to avoid Xue Chen's attack.
Xue Chen was stunned in his heart, showing that he didn't expect the old man to be able to dodge his attack so easily, and then he turned his hand horizontally, turned to wipe, and swept towards the old man again.
The old man put his hands behind his back, and when he saw Xue Chen turn around and attack again, he still didn't panic, and with a steady twist of his steps, the figure had already appeared behind Xue Chen, and a finger lightly touched the back of Xue Chen's head.
Feeling the cold air coming from behind him, Xue Chen broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that this blind fortune teller was actually a top master.
Xue Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and thought: "It's really a mountain and a mountain high, the master and his old man often say that there are many masters in this world, and it is very interesting, but it is not false." ”
Although the old man only stretched out a finger lightly, Xue Chen still clearly captured the vitality exposed by the talented old man, and clearly knew that if he really fought hard, he must have gone to the Huangquan Road by now.
Putting away his thoughts, Xue Chen turned around and bowed to the old man, waved his hand and said: "Thank you for the mercy of the seniors, there are many offenses to the right talents, and I hope the seniors will forgive me." ”
The fortune teller didn't mean to embarrass Xue Chen, and when he saw that he was soft, he immediately smiled and said: "The little doll has just entered the WTO, and the edge is too strong, too rigid and easy to break, so you need to keep it in mind." ”
When Xue Chen heard this, he remembered the sad past in his heart, and mourned: "The seniors don't know, the juniors mistakenly learned the demon attack and entered the demon path, and they wanted to die a long time ago, why do you remember this?"
After hearing this, the old man stroked his beard and said, "I saw that your understanding is not low, and I wanted to cross you, but how did I expect you to be a tendon?" After thinking about it, he said: "Well, let me ask you, what is good and what is evil, and how to distinguish between good and evil?"
When Xue Chen heard this, he immediately replied: "The thief of the Nine Prisons is the Demon Dao, and the four factions of the Spirit Realm are the righteous Dao. ”
After hearing this, the old man smiled and said: "The little doll is very interesting, how can it be really a tendon." Fu Fu whiskered, and then said: "Okay, let me ask you again, isn't there a black sheep among the four factions in your spirit world, and there are no people in the Nine Prisons who want to help the world?"
Xue Chen was asked by the old man like this, he was dumb for a while, and his mind recalled the two Qingtanmen disciples who died in his hands a month ago, and his face turned slightly red.
Seeing that Xue Chen was speechless, the old man immediately said, "What's the matter, do you think of the black sheep in the world?"
After Xue Chen heard this, his face turned even redder, and he immediately argued: "The people of the Nine Prisons Heaven harmed my parents and harmed the innocent, which is the Demon Dao, how can there be people who help the world." ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man smiled and said, "Little baby, didn't you just meet one not long ago?"
Xue Chen was shocked in his heart, but he didn't know who the old man was talking about, and thought: "I have met a lot of people these days, who is this senior talking about, why didn't he take my life at that time?"
I was puzzled, and I immediately wanted to ask who it was.
Seeing this, the old man immediately interrupted: "Let me ask you again, the Tao in your heart is based on the common people in the world, so what should you do if the four factions and even the people in your sect who harm the common people in the future, is this also a demonic way?"
Without waiting for Xue Chen to answer, the old man stroked his beard and said: "Good and evil are in people's hearts, everything in the world is only in one thought, the so-called things change with the heart, and the environment is created by the heart. ”
"Just like I crossed you today, it is a leaf ark, crossing you across the river, through your mind, not letting you kill yourself, people pursue cultivation and sanctification, the so-called exercises, is a small boat, cross him across the river, whether you can reach the other side of the saint, more depends on the rower, there is no absolute in the world, do not bind your heart, drill the tip of the horns, in this way, then you will be holy, there is no hope for you to become holy in this life. ”
After hearing this, Xue Chen's heart trembled, and the confusion that had accumulated in his heart in the past suddenly dissipated with the wind, as if he had entered an incomparably free world, everything moved according to his heart, and he pondered: "What this senior said is quite right, the so-called sanctification and cultivation is just the heart, stick to the Tao in the heart, and what kind of exercises to practice is not so important." ”
Opening the knot in his heart, Xue Chen hurriedly bowed to the old man three times in a row and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice, the juniors have benefited a lot." ”
The old man still smiled and said, "The future is terrifying, it's good that you have an epiphany." ”
At this time, the wind gradually rose in the forest, and it was past the fifth watch, and the morning breeze gradually blew away the fog of Mr. Lin, blew up the withered yellow bamboo leaves on the ground, and also blew away the knots of the people who were concerned about it.
Xue Chen looked at the fortune-telling banner held by the old man, and suddenly remembered that the old man had said that he would soon have a bloody disaster, and then he really suffered some calamities, so he immediately aroused his interest in his heart, waved his hand at the old man and said, "I wonder if the seniors can still count the juniors?"
The old man saw that Xue Chen's doubts had dissipated, so he put away this serious look, and said to Xue Chen: "It's the same as what I said before, your life is not good, there are many disasters and difficulties, if you want to resolve it, the price is not small." ”
Xue Chen rolled his eyes and pondered, "Why did this old man become a charlatan again." His mind drifted by, and then he smiled: "Senior, this is my daughter Hong, which I have treasured for thirty years, you can take it and try it." ”
When the old man heard that there was wine, his eyes flashed, and he immediately snatched the wine gourd in Xue Chen's hand, took a heavy sip, and then said to Xue Chen: "You close your eyes, I'll help you calculate." ”
Xue Chen immediately closed his eyes, stretched out his left hand, and stood still for a while, not seeing the old man speak, then he slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were empty, and the old man was no longer there.
Only then did Xue Chen know that he had been put on the table by the fortune teller again, and his heart was on fire, and he shouted at Lin Zhong: "Senior, you are too unkind!
The old man's roar sounded in the forest: "Bastard boy, full of nonsense, took a bottle of wine mixed with water to deceive me, the taste is very strange, you and I are fellow travelers, and we don't owe each other." After a moment of silence, the old man's words sounded again: "Okay, I'll send you eight words, go against the sky, and look at the creation, and realize it yourself." ”
Xue Chen was confused, and reprimanded: "Xuanzhi is mysterious and mysterious, pretending to be a god and making a ghost, this bad old man is very bad, I believe in his evil." ”
After the words were spoken, there was no sound, except for the fluttering of bamboo leaves in the wind and the crow of roosters in the distance.
