Dayue Dynasty, Ningzhou City, downtown area.

The people are noisy, and the cars and horses are non-stop. Suddenly, another shout rang out from the corner of the street, attracting the attention of pedestrians.

The young man's face is delicate, his eyes are as bright as the rising stars, he sits cross-legged like a master, with a hexagram in front of him, and a bunch of five-element gossip flags standing quietly behind him, quite a bit of a master.

"Today's first hexagram is free, come and take a look at it. He had the hawker's lines popping up in his mouth.

An old-fashioned hexagram master walked slowly from the entrance of the street, holding a floating dust, with kind eyebrows. As soon as he saw the young man, he asked with a smile on his face: "Jiang boy, you have come to earn wine money for your master again, how much money do you make now?"

Jiang Yu waved his hand impatiently, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head and snorted coldly: "Don't mention that old man, almost all the money I have worked hard to earn in the past few days has bought him wine to drink." If he weren't my master, I would have to sue him to the government!"

The old hexagram master shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked towards the depths of the city: "Your master is really lucky to have such an apprentice as you. ”

Jiang Yu didn't speak, he sat cross-legged and sat quietly, his breathing was difficult to calm down.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the earth was cooked on a hot day.

Jiang Yu looked gloomy, closed the stall, carried the hexagram flag, and walked out of the city.

"It's been morning, and there hasn't even been a single person asking for a hexagram, so I'm really unlucky to get home. He strolled to the city gates.

"Little brother, please stay. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

Jiang Yu paused, looking for me? He then walked forward.

"Little brother, can you do the math for me?" In a flash, an enlarged meat bun slammed into front of him. The meat bun grinned widely, and the gorgeous clothes on his body continued to shake with his huge flesh.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at the meat bun in front of him wearing aristocratic clothes, and was a little surprised how such a fat person suddenly crossed over from behind, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's closed." ”

The meat bun patted his belly and said proudly: "Hey, little brother, uncle, I have money! Even if it's a hexagram, even if you look at palmistry!"

Jiang Yu frowned when he heard this, looking at the fat man's eyebrows, a little blood red dotted out in the black clouds, there was going to be some disaster in recent days.

"Little brother, I specifically inquired about your name!'Hexagram everyone' Jiang Chenzi! Your hexagram is very good!" Meat Bunzi laughed and added.

Jiang Yu's eyebrows were a little soothing, and he even brought a little joy, and made a gesture: "Don't dare, don't dare, hexagram everyone is the name of the family teacher, and the master's high-name boy can't afford it." ”

I saw a hint of joy on the face of Maitreya Buddha, and quickly disappeared: "That's great! As the saying goes, a famous teacher makes a high apprentice, and I also asked Master Jiang to help me calculate a hexagram." ”

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth curled slightly: "Don't dare, don't dare." As soon as he raised his hand on the meat bun, he suddenly felt a pain in his palm, he exclaimed in surprise and quickly retracted his hand. Meat Bun was shocked, and hurriedly leaned over: "Master, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I guess it's a bug that pricked the palm of the hand. Looking at his still red palm, Jiang Yu shook his head, it should be an illusion. Meat bun nodded strangely.

He raised the hand of the meat bun again, this time there was no pain, he helped the meat bun to read the palmistry and face reading, the meat bun was very grateful for this, and gave him two silver tickets of 1,000 yuan as his reward.

Jiang Yu carried the hexagram flag, hummed a small song all the way, and walked towards the Dragon King Temple outside Ningzhou City, touching the silver ticket in his pocket from time to time, so comfortable.

The blue sky bloomed a few clouds, and a falling golden stream passed through the clouds, and the light and shadow flowed in the streamer, and a faint figure stood on it.

Not long after Jiang Yufang returned to the Dragon King Temple, an old Taoist jumped down from the top of the temple and said with an obscene face: "The kid is finally back, but Lao Tzu is starving to death." Hurry up, what kind of good wine did you buy for Lao Tzu today?" This person is wearing a sloppy robe, his face is aging and unruly, his temples are white, and his jaw is a few inches of white beard hanging, so he looks chic.

Jiang Yu glared at the old Taoist, rubbed and took out a silver ticket from his pocket, and said with a painful face: "Old man, this is what I have worked hard for today. For this silver ticket, I tried my best to almost not be ......"

The old Taoist smiled "hehe", interrupted Jiang Yu's words, snatched the big bill in Jiang Yu's hand, and put it in his arms: "The kid is good! Next time, Lao Tzu will reward you with a few divine skills and Taoism, and you will be able to do anything in the sky and on the earth!"

"Fuck off, old liar!" Jiang Yu's face darkened, and he remembered that when he was young, he learned the so-called Divine Skill Dao method in the city - it was just a few tricks to deceive those blind and ignorant people.

"Hehe, Lao Tzu, those are real supernatural powers, what do little children know. The old Taoist touched the silver ticket in his arms and muttered in a low voice.

The old Taoist's face suddenly changed, and he raised his head to look at Jiang Yu, with an angry expression: "Little bastard, this is so generous, is there still a private collection!"

Jiang Yu quietly took out the silver ticket in his sleeve, and his face remained unchanged: "I will give you all the money today!"

"Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know your little trick, Lao Tzu played rotten hundreds of years ago. Go to the kitchen and get a pot of wine for Lao Tzu!"

"What a fierce man, old bastard. Jiang Yu put the silver ticket back in his sleeve, said dissatisfiedly, and turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Jiang Yu took a pot of wine from the wine rack, and suddenly his palm hurt, and the wine jug slipped from his hand and fell into pieces, scattering wine all over the ground. He touched the palm of his hand, wondering in his heart, what the hell was wrong, why the palm of his hand was hurting all the time today. He looked at the wine all over the ground with a painful heart, it was all money.

He took another jug of wine and walked out of the kitchen. There was a smell of blood in his face, which stimulated Jiang Yu's nerves, he was excited, his heart was worried, and he ran all the way to the front yard, shouldn't something happen to the master.

In the front yard, blood splattered five steps, and a sloppy Taoist fell in a pool of blood, his breath was weak.

"Master!"

Jiang Yu's pupils dilated like beans, and he didn't care about the wine in his hand, so he rushed to the old Taoist in the pool of blood like crazy. He trembled his hands and stared at the old man's chest as if he had seen some demon.

There, a fist-sized hole of blood was like a magic eye from hell, and scarlet blood gushed out in a desperate way.

"Master, you, what's wrong with you? How could it be? I'm just going to get a jug of wine. ”

The old Taoist struggled to open his eyes, his face showed a different happiness from the past, and forced a smile: "You... It's fine if you're okay. ”

"Master, who is it!Apprentice is going to kill him!" Jiang Yu trembled all over, screaming hysterically, his eyes blood-red, and tears slid down his cheeks.

The old Taoist's calloused hands washed by the wind and frost kept trembling and stretched out, gently stroking Jiang Yu's face, and kept trying to wipe away Jiang Yu's tears, but Jiang Yu's face was dyed into a blood-red and white face.

"Don't cry... Master... It's just that... Go first, and it will... Goodbye. ”

"Master! The apprentice is late, the apprentice is not naughty, the apprentice knows that he is wrong, Master don't go! ”

Jiang Yu hugged the old Taoist tightly in his arms, tears came out of his eyes, his whole face was flushed, and he cried out in pain.

The old Taoist struggled and touched Jiang Yu's head, as if he was doting on his little grandson who had not grown up, trembling and gently stroking it.

"Master, don't go, I think you've been touching my head like this, it's been a long time since you've touched my head like this, Master!"

"Don't cry, Master..."

The old Taoist's hand suddenly stiffened, and he fell to the ground heavily, his body twitched, his breath gradually went away, his pupils slowly dilated, Jiang Yu cried and red-eyed, looked up into the distance, as if an uninhibited and heroic sloppy figure stood not far from Jiang Yu, waving his hand to say goodbye to him. He's gone.

"Boom", a thunder flashed, and suddenly the clear sky was full of dark clouds, like a mountain pressing down, the wind continued to sweep the heavens and the earth, and the cold raindrops fell like ice thorns, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be sad and painful for the death of the old Taoist.

"Master!"

Jiang Yu roared frantically, his hands were as if they had been provoked by terrifying claws, so they were not hideous and terrifying. The biting raindrops hit him wantonly, and he was soaking wet, and the teardrops on his face mixed with the rain. He was like a madman in a rain of tears.
