Chapter 20: Apologies
Xue Chen went around in circles in this sea area outside the realm, and it took three days for his trip, and the internal injuries left by the fight with the mad seven were almost the same in these sunrises and nightsets.
Meteors swept across the dark night sky, Xue Chen lay in the canopy, looking at the huge city with bright lights in the distance, listening to the fishing songs and singing late, and gradually fell asleep under the blowing of the evening breeze.
The sky was slightly bright, and Xue Chen had already gotten up and headed towards the Haitian City that Mad Qi had said, and there was nothing to do all the way, and it was already noon when he reached Haitian City.
Haitian City is the closest mainland city to the sea outside the boundary, the location is very special, neither under the control of the spirit world, nor has nothing to do with the sea outside the boundary, it is rumored that it was built overnight by the big merchant Duobao merchant who was once known as the rich in the world, the specific origin has not yet been clear, but there are many caravans in the city, and the business is prosperous.
Although the location is special, and monks from all over the city gather in the city, and there are mixed fish and dragons, but there are guards of the four clans of Haitian in the city, and no one dares to break the rules in the city.
Xue Chen stood in front of the city, looking at the Haitian City, which was more than ten zhang high at the city gate alone, and couldn't help but admire the legendary Duobao merchant in his heart, how much magic power it took to build such a behemoth overnight.
Walking on the avenue with shops on both sides and wide roads, I saw the bustling flow of people and vehicles, and the merchants could be seen everywhere leading horses and carrying goods, mixed with the roar of the street restaurant and the laughter of the women in the green building, showing the prosperity and liveliness of Haitian City.
Walking straight along the main street, it was noon at this time, Xue Chen walked to the door of the welcome building, looked around, and thought that the decoration of this restaurant was also elegant and magnificent, so he simply settled here first, and after filling his stomach, it was not too late to rush back to the master's gate.
"This young master, whether it is a tip or a stay, please come first. ”
Xue Chen followed the greeting of the shopkeeper Xiao Er and wanted to take a seat, but suddenly heard a crowd at the corner of the street shouting: "You are really a living immortal in the world, and you are like a god!"
After that, there was a faint sound of kneeling and kowtowing.
Xue Chen was curious in his heart, and thought: "How can there be any living immortals like gods in these years. ”。
Immediately followed the source of the sound, and saw a fortune teller in a light blue robe, wearing a black hat, about sixty years old, sitting at the table with a thin body, next to his right hand was a worn-out cloth flag, on which a life word was written in black pen and ink, and the color of his line had faded by half, obviously he had been walking the rivers and lakes for some years.
At this time, the fortune teller was pinching something with his right hand from time to time, and at the same time his left hand kept stroking his beard, and said to the old man sitting in front of him with a smile: "The old man is in good fortune, and there must be something good coming recently, which is gratifying." ”
When the old man heard this, he was already overjoyed, held the master's right hand, and kept saying, "Borrow the auspicious words of the living immortals." ”
At this time, the fortune teller chuckled again, raised his voice and said: "The old man will listen to me first, the ethereal coming of this thing of good luck, whether you can grasp it or not, it depends on whether the old gentleman has been instructed by someone." ”
When the old man heard this, his expression was anxious, and he immediately asked, "How do you say this from the living immortals?"
Then, with a soft sigh, he immediately took out a piece of plaid cloth from his arms, put it in front of the fortune teller, took the master's hand and put it on it, and said: "Living immortals, this is a small piece of Ganoderma lucidum that I picked up on the mountain at one time.
The fortune teller touched the cloth in his hand, and then put it in his arms, and looked sluggish, but he was blind.
When he stretched out his hand, he took out a few yellow talismans, drew a few strokes on these five yellow talismans at random, and stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said: "I don't take your benefits in vain, what about these five talismans, go back and you paste two behind the door, one is posted on the west wall, and the rest is pasted on the bedside. ”
After hearing this, the old man knelt down happily, and kept muttering: "Thank you for the guidance of the living immortals." “
Xue Chen was on the side, scolding in his heart, and thought: "This blind man just said some bluffing words, doing good deeds can naturally accumulate virtue, and he also used him to say, I deceived him into a piece of Ganoderma lucidum for nothing, and I will try him, if he cheats, he will definitely not be spared." ”
After that, Xue Chen immediately sat down in front of the blind man in front of a woman, and said, "Old man, also help me calculate, how is my fortune recently?"
The blind fortune teller still kept rubbing his beard and said with a smile: "Young people are anxious, and they don't know how to come first and come first, but for the sake of you and me, I'll help you calculate it first!"
Xue Chen immediately stretched out his left hand, and at the same time apologized to the woman behind him who was scolding loudly, and said, "That old gentleman, we won't say much, you can help me take a look first." ”
The blind fortune teller's hand touched Xue Chen's palm like an elephant, and then he touched Xue Chen's cheek with a gesture, and after pondering for a moment, he exclaimed: "This is the face of the great murderer! ”
Xue Chen was shocked and asked, "Old man, how do you say this?"
The blind fortune teller stroked his beard again and explained: "The lines of your palm I touched are complex and intertwined, there are no blessing lines, and the forehead bone is prominent.
Xue Chen listened, his heart was already displeased, he had already reprimanded these fortune-telling techniques as a sideshow, and now he saw that the blind man intimidated himself for no reason, and cheated money, and said in his heart: "The old master said, with my muscles and bones, I have been practicing hard for a few years, and I will definitely be the best in the world in the future, and now this blind man actually says that I will not die well, how can this be reasonable." ”
The more Xue Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, and he immediately kicked his left foot at the chair of the bench where the blind fortune teller was sitting, and at the same time, the two fingers in the middle of his right hand pointed at the blind man's eyes, and the more he probed him to be true or false.
Xue Chen's move was extremely fast, but everyone failed to react, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of the blind man.
The blind fortune teller was startled, obviously he didn't expect Xue Chen to turn his face immediately, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, only to see that the blind man's right foot moved slightly to resolve Xue Chen's sole attack, and at the same time, his left hand also resolved Xue Chen's eye-digging attack in the same way, and the eyes of the original Gujing Wubo looked at Xue Chen angrily.
Xue Chen was taken aback and said angrily: "Okay, you're not blind, you're a liar, see how I clean you up!"
The blind fortune teller was even more furious at this time, jumped up from his chair, and scolded angrily: "Where did you come from?"
After that, he picked up the bamboo stick leaning on the table and knocked it on Xue Chen.
Xue Chen flipped the table to the ground, kicked away the cane, and said, "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Xuantian Xue Chen." ”
After the blind man listened, he heard the people around him angrily scolding him for being a liar, and he was angry for a while, and quickly took out a black pill from his arms, and threw it to the ground, stirring up bursts of white smoke. ”
Xue Chen hurriedly dodged out of the white smoke and said angrily: "This blind man is talking nonsense, next time I see him, I have to pull out his beard." ”
As soon as the words fell, just as Xue Chen turned around and wanted to enter the restaurant to rest, he saw a white giant magnified sharply, and when Xue Chen reacted, it was too late to dodge, and the comer had already hit Xue Chen's chest hard, knocking it into the distance.
The blood and qi in Xue Chen's body surged, and he only felt a sharp pain, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and then heard it from the crowd: "What thing that doesn't have long eyes is blocking the way of the eldest lady of the Yun family, and being hit by this cloud beast must have gone to see the king of Hades, and he deserves it." ”
When Xue Chen heard this, his heart was full of anger, he got up from the ground in pain, and scolded angrily: "Where did the crazy woman come from, so arrogant and domineering. ”
When the smoke and dust dissipated, I saw only five people, the first one was a girl in a gorgeous brocade dress, the girl was about 20 years old, her long black hair was tied up high, and at the same time, her snow-white skin, delicate face and her body looked concave and convex because of the waist, which was quite sassy and heroic.
The girl rode a snow-white horse, like a horse but not a horse, like a deer but not a deer, accompanied by four people, all men, almost the same age as women, clustered around the woman.
Xue Chen, who heard the girl, scolded herself for being a crazy woman, coupled with her eldest lady's willful temper, she immediately became angry and scolded: "With this sentence, your life is no longer yours." ”
When Xue Chen heard this, he laughed angrily, so he didn't say anything more, and said coldly: "Apologize!"
