Chapter 159 [Fortune Telling]

The sunset is setting and the sunset is everywhere.

On the bumpy official road, Gao Song was humming a small song, constantly waving his whip, and driving two old horses to pull a cart forward.

The car body was shaking, and Liu Zhuo was sitting cross-legged in the car, his spiritual breath was secretly circulating, but his mood was never as calm as ever.

Liu Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and listened to the song that Gao Song hummed outside. He pulled the curtain in front of the carriage and asked with a smile: "Brother Gao Song, where are we? How far is it from Daluo Temple?"

This day was the seventh day of the two of them set off.

Gao Song waved his horse whip and said with a simple smile: "Brother Liu, you are the first time you are going far away? Let's go to Xuzhou City after walking a few more miles. It's getting late today, so let's rest in the city. I'm afraid there are still four or five days left before we reach Daluo Temple."

In fact, Liu Zhuo was not in a hurry. He had witnessed the great scenery in Qi along the way, which made him feel surprisingly peaceful. After experiencing a series of fighting and being able to be quiet for a period of time, he was just desperate for it.

"Finish, let's stop in Xuzhou City." Liu Zhuo responded.

"Okay!" Gao Song responded, slamming his whip.

An hour later, Gao Song drove the dilapidated carriage and slowly entered a city built against the mountain. On the gate, two mottled characters were carved, Xuzhou.

Xuzhou City is a small city with only tens of thousands of people in the city. It was almost evening and the streets were quite lively.

Liu Zhuo casually pointed to an inn and asked Gao Song to hand over the carriage to the inn staff for the care of the inn. The two of them entered the inn, asked for two rooms, and ordered some wine and food. All of this was naturally what Liu Zhuo paid for.

The two sat in the lobby of the inn. There was a lot of wine and food on the Eight Immortals table. Gao Song wiped out the food like a wind and clouds, but Liu Zhuo was holding a cup of tea and staring at it leisurely.

For him who has already entered the realm of fasting, eating these grains and grains in the world is not conducive to his practice.

"Brother Liu, you eat food." Gao Song was so angry that he ate.

"I'm not hungry, just eat more." Liu Zhuo responded calmly, continued to look around, and could experience the life of secular people again. He felt that it was also a different kind of interest.

At this time, it was dinner time, so the tables in the inn lobby were almost full of diners, which seemed very lively and noisy.

At this time, a Taoist robe suddenly walked in outside the inn gate.

This man was wearing a wide Taoist robe. In terms of appearance, he could not tell the specific age. He looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, but his temperament and form looked like an old man in his seventies and eighties. His black hair was tied into a Taoist bun, his face was white and had no beards, and he had double triangle eyes, but his eyes were particularly bright.

The Taoist, holding a seven-foot-long green banner in his hand, with a black word "在" written on the banner. He stood in front of the door and looked around, then stopped at Liu Zhuo's table.

Liu Zhuo had already noticed this Taoist man. He looked at him strangely, and felt that the Taoist man's triangular eyes seemed to be full of everything and contained endless meanings, but he couldn't understand what the Taoist man meant.

At this moment, Liu Zhuo slowly extended a trace of spiritual consciousness, and checked the man's cultivation level.

Originally, Liu Zhuo thought this man would also be an immortal cultivator, but after checking, the facts told him that this man was just a mortal.

At this time, the Taoist Shi Ran of the green robe stepped forward and sat upright at the only uninhabited Eight Immortals table with the green banner.

The inn staff came forward diligently: "What do you want to eat, this Taoist priest?"

At that moment, the Taoist ordered a few side dishes casually, ordered a pot of hot rice wine, and sat there alone and started drinking it.

Liu Zhuo looked around for a long time, but he felt a little surprised. In Qi State, which has a Buddhist holy place like Daluo Temple, there is almost no Taoist existence. It is really new to see a mortal Taoist priest in this Xuzhou city.

At this moment, among the diners opposite Liu Zhuo, a man with a tiger back and a bear-back suddenly stood up.

The big man was already drunk with a wine glass. He staggered to the Taoist table and said in a turbid manner: "Hey, it's really fresh. He is actually a bull-nosed Taoist. Uncle, I have never seen a Taoist in my life. Old Taoist, are you good fortune telling?"

The Taoist robe drank the yellow wine in the wine glass and shook the big banner beside him: "I'm just relying on divination of good and bad luck for others, so my life is of course counted."

The big man said vaguely: "Then... then you can calculate for me and see when I will get rich."

The Taoist priest in green robe smiled and said, "This life can be calculated naturally, I'm afraid my brother can't afford the fortune telling money."

"You bastard!" The man slapped the table hard and cursed with the courage of drinking: "I am a member of the Longmen Escort Agency. You can earn two taels of silver after one trip. Can't you even pay for the fortune telling money of several bronze coins?"

"Tell me fortune, but I don't have to pay any money." The Taoist priest in the green robe smiled, poured himself a glass of rice wine, and drank it all in one go.

"Ha! What a big tone, you said! What do you want? I have to ask you to calculate it today!" The big man said drunk.

The Taoist in the green robe narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "I want your life."

Stagger!

The neat sound of drawing swords suddenly sounded, and the five diners on the table stood up at the same time and pulled out the long swords at their waists. The middle-aged man in the lead said, "You old Taoist priest, are you looking for death and dare to act arrogantly in front of our Longmen escort!"

When the people in the inn lobby saw the gang of corpses draw their swords, they were frightened and silent. Some timids even hurriedly paid for the meal and slipped away.

"Oh, it's going to fight. Brother Liu, let's not get involved, let's go quickly." Gao Song said with fear on his face.

"It's okay, let's talk about it." Liu Zhuo smiled. He was very interested in this green-robed Taoist priest and wanted to see how this person would end up.

At this time, the initial man waved his hand and said vaguely: "Brothers, don't do it! I want to see how this bull-nosed Taoist priest used my life to calculate my life!"

The Taoist in the green robe was indifferent. He picked up a bit of wine and food and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and said, "You are asking about wealth. I will collect your thirty-year life span. I will help you calculate it and point you a clear path."

The drunken man laughed a few times. He sat at the Eight Immortals table in a steadily manner, stretched out his palm as big as a palm fan, and cursed: "Old guy, you're going to calculate it for me, I'll strip you of skin!"

"Are you really willing to use your thirty years of life to make this fortune?" asked the Taoist in the green robe with a smile.

"Think! You don't think so, I'll take your life first!" The big man became more and more arrogant with the alcohol.

"Okay. I'll do my business with you." The Taoist in the green robe smiled, and a dazzling yellow light suddenly flashed in his pair of triangular eyes.

Liu Zhuo looked carefully from a distance, was startled and said to himself: "A person who has attained enlightenment?"

At this time, the Taoist robe grabbed the big man's palm, stared at the palm lines in the big man's palm for a while, and then said coldly: "Brother, this life is not unique. He seems to be extremely ordinary. He will never have wealth in his life, but he will not starve to death. If he is kind and knows how to be humble, he will be a stooge and eat a bowl of hard food for the rest of his life."

"Don't let it go!" The big man was teased and furious on the spot, and he was about to beat him.

"If you really want to get rich, I can point you a clear path. I can't ask you for my life for thirty years, right?" The Taoist in the green robe narrowed his triangle eyes, but smiled strangely.

"You said, I can't make a fortune, so I'll beat you up and look for your teeth." The big man took back the palm-sized slap of the palm fan and said.

Qing Paodao raised the big banner beside him, pointed the stick at the mud in front of the inn, and said, "Dig this place open, and ten feet below the ground, you can enjoy endless wealth and glory."

The man was stunned for a moment, with a look of suspicion on his face, and then cursed: "Bastard, you can scare me!"

The Taoist in the green robe held up his life banner and smiled and said, "If you don't ask for verification, how can you know whether what you are saying is true or not? Whether you believe it or not, the thirty years of Yuanshou will still be taken away."

The big man still looked suspicious, and he snorted coldly: "I'll give it a try. You can't leave with a bull's nose. If you can't dig out anything, I want you to look good!"

The Taoist in Qinglang smiled and said, "Brother, I will do whatever he wants, and I will never do anything to cheat."

"Okay! Brothers, let's see what this bull's nose is like." The big man greeted him, then came to the door and started digging with a steel knife.

Seeing this, the five studs found it ridiculous, but they really came out to dig a mud pit with the man.

These people's behavior immediately attracted many pedestrians to watch, and the diners in the inn also secretly glanced at them.

Since he discovered that this Taoist priest in the green robe seemed to be both enlightened, Liu Zhuo became interested in him, so he was not in a hurry and observed from the side.

After half an hour, six studs finally dug a big pit at a depth of meter in front of this inn called "Tianlai".

stagger!

A sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.

"There's something!" A corpsor shoveled down with a knife and shouted immediately.

At that moment, everyone stopped digging. The six of them worked hard at the bottom of the pit for a while, and they were extremely struggling to lift a pitch-black box from the pit.

When I opened the box cover suddenly, golden light suddenly filled the box, and the box was filled with golden ingots. There were a whole box, probably nearly a thousand taels.

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

The drunk man also sobered up. He trembled slightly and took a gold ingot and took a bite with his tiger teeth. After finding it was true, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm getting rich."

"Hmm?" The big man suddenly felt chill all over his body, and in an instant he seemed to feel breathless.

The people watching on the side immediately exclaimed a burst of exclamations, and the five studs also showed disbelief.

The big man bowed his head inadvertently, but found that the back of his hand suddenly became wrinkles and a layer of disgusting goose bumps appeared.

It turned out that everyone was frightened that the man had changed from a prime appearance to a gray-haired old man with wrinkles on his face.

"This...what is going on?" said the big man who had become an old man in horror.

Everyone woke up as if they were dreaming, and looked at the dining table of the Taoist in the green robe. Where were there any figures at this moment?

At the same time, Gao Song, who was walking with Liu Zhuo, also looked shocked, because Liu Zhuo's voice was constantly echoing in his mind.

"Brother Gao Song, I'll go out, you're waiting for me in the inn."

...

On a crowded street in Xuzhou City, a Taoist priest in blue robe holding a life banner was walking leisurely with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, the man's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "Brother, you are blocking me, what's the matter?"

Liu Zhuo stood in front of the Taoist Lan's robe, smiled faintly and said, "Fortune-telling."

"What do you want to do with your brother?" The blue-robed Taoist squinted his triangular eyes, but his face looked alert.

Liu Zhuo said: "Count your life."

The Taoist in the blue robe suspected and said, "I can count the fate of an emperor, beggar, wealth, and poor, but I can only count my own life."

Seeing that he was talking about it mysteriously, Liu Zhuo said, "Why might this fellow Taoist, why not find a place where no one is and talk about it in detail?"

Seeing that Liu Zhuo was of extraordinary temperament and looked confident, the Taoist in the blue robe knew that he had met a powerful character. He smiled and said, "There is a tea shop in the south of the city. The tea is so bad that it is so bad that it has never had much business. Let's go there and sit there?"

Liu Zhuo nodded and said, "Then let's go."
