() The room fell into silence. Yue Leiting and Huo Qian never expected that Xiao Lianshan, who was in his early twenties, had not only experienced the baptism of war, but also had such a tortuous story. For soldiers, especially those who go to battle to protect their families and country,

The enemy's soldiers and those who work on the road have special respect. People who have been on the battlefield and experienced life and death always have a particularly profound understanding of loyalty.

"Lianshan, why did you go to the labor market and meet Liu Hao later?" Huo Qian asked.

Chu Tianci patted Xiao Lianshan's hand to calm him down.

"I took him there."

"By the way, I always forgot to ask how you and Lianshan met?" Yue Leiting glanced at Chu Tianci.

"I came out of the mountains and didn't know anything. I wanted to find something to do to fill my stomach. I had no place to stay at night, so I squatted under the overpass. This kid was lying there, shaking all over. When I touched his forehead, it burned horribly.

, his lips were chapped, I found water to feed him, and only half of his body was left

I gave him a small piece of steamed bun to eat, and I found his pulse in the weeds under the overpass.

I made some medicine for him to drink, including duckweed and other herbs, and it took a day and a night for him to wake up."

Xiao Lianshan smiled at Chu Tianci.

"I finally came back from the border, but I couldn't go home. They said that the coastal areas will soon have food, so I climbed on the train and planned to go to Guangdong. But when I woke up, I found... I took the wrong direction and ran away.

Yuzhou, haha."

Everyone in the room laughed along with Xiao Lianshan, and Chu Tianci also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"When he woke up, he called me brother, which made me embarrassed. Anyway, I just want to be alone and have multiple companions. So I took him to the labor market, and then I met Liu Hao. You all know what happened next."

"Hahaha, this is fate. You two brothers have this fate. They met in the vast sea of ​​people. Godsend saved Lianshan first, and then Godsend appendicitis. Lianshan went to beg Liu Hao to save Tianci. This is karma. Godsend sows

Good causes finally produce good results." Yue Leiting smiled happily.

Huo Qian sat next to Chu Tianci and asked seriously.

"Godsend, I've always wanted to ask you something, but I didn't know how convenient it would be."

"Brother Qian, just ask if you have anything."

"I think you are only in your twenties, but no one can match you in the field of numerology. I also know a little bit about it. I know that it takes decades to get started in Feng Shui and numerology, and some people can spend their entire lives with only a small amount of success."

, there are only a few people like you who can really tell the truth, but how come you are so proficient at such a young age, and you don’t know who you can learn from? "

"No one taught me!"

"No...no one taught you?" Huo Qian was even more surprised. "Then how do you know these profound things?"

Chu Tianci also shook his head in confusion and answered sincerely.

"Actually, I have always wanted to know the answer to this question. Ever since I can remember, I have really wanted to know this. When a person walks towards me, I can clearly see his face and the twelve signs, and I can naturally calculate it in my mind.

This person's misfortunes and blessings are the same. When I walk outside and look at the mountains and rivers, it becomes a layer of Feng Shui in my eyes. I can tell whether the Feng Shui is good or bad at any place. When I look at the stars in the sky at night, I can deduce the fortune and secrets. Every time

Very accurate."

Huo Qian stared at Chu Tianci dumbfounded for a long time before he spoke.

"You are self-taught. Do you have any talent in this area? But you say that you have learned these profound knowledge since you were a child. It is really incredible."

"I am involved in not only Feng Shui and Numerology, but also the five Taoist arts, mountains, medicine, fortune, divination, and fortune-telling. All of the five Taoist arts are excellent, but the numerology and physiognomy are used the most, and the others are rarely used."

Huo Qian took a deep breath and looked at Chu Tianci again: "These are all derived from the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes covers time and space, everything in the universe has come and gone, summer goes and autumn comes, the moon rises and the sun sets, old and young die, and so on. The Book of Changes covers time and space.

The scriptures are so profound and difficult to understand that they can be called sacred books. If you can only take a glimpse of them, you will be able to benefit from them endlessly. God has given you that you have mastered it without any teacher. It is really miraculous that you can master the five Taoist arts with ease."

The nurse came in to change the dressing and untied the gauze in Chu Tianci's hand. The cut wound was about to heal, and Huo Qian's eyes fell on Chu Tianci's middle finger.

"Tianci, the first day I saw you, I discovered that a section of your middle finger was broken. The wound was cut off neatly with a knife. Who did it?"

Chu Tianci looked at his severed finger and smiled miserably.

"My old man cut me into pieces without saying a word because I didn't listen to him."

"You...your father did it?"

Chu Tianci nodded.

"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Why is your father so cruel?"

Chu Tianci's eyes suddenly became soft and full of longing, and then he smiled weakly and said.

"The old man is an extremely withdrawn person. He talks very little. I can count all the words I have said to him since I can remember. Children in the mountains don't go to school, and there is no money for you to go to school. The old man goes to his mountain to dig wood every day.

He owns an acre of land, and I spent almost all my time in the old man’s unknown library.”

"Library?" Yue Leiting asked curiously.

"The old man's house has a mezzanine and a stone room inside. He thought I didn't know, and he would go in every night when I went to sleep. In fact, I already knew that it was a secret room built by the old man, and there were all kinds of troublesome things in it.

All kinds of ancient books, ranging from astronomy to geography

, all-encompassing, I have always been curious, why does a bad old man who usually drinks from a big bowl, doesn’t wash his face and mouth, rubs his nose on his sleeves, have a room full of books, and as long as he walks into this secret room, he will

It's like a different person, gentle, elegant and unpredictable."

"I just said that Tianci's speech and behavior are quite graceful. It turns out that I learned it all from reading books, hahaha." Huo Qian smiled with enlightenment. "The ability to appraise antiques must also be learned from these books."

Chu Tianci nodded and continued.

"Isolated from the world in the mountains, I slowly grew up relying on these mountains of ancient books. My life was barren but fulfilling, until I accidentally discovered another secret of the old man. There is another secret hidden behind the secret room.

The library is not big or small. The books in it are ones I have never come across before. Almost all of them are

It contains the essence of various sects of Qimen, Kanyu, and physiognomy. I also suddenly discovered that I had read these books with rare and mysterious words somewhere, and I could almost never forget them. These seemed to be

The old man deliberately concealed his collection of books, but before I knew it, I had read them and understood them."

"So... your father is also an expert in numerology?"

"He is still a master, haha." Chu Tianci was very happy. "Besides farming, drinking, sitting at the entrance of the village and talking nonsense with others, he has never done anything normal."

"What happened next?" Yue Leiting asked.

"One day it rained, and the old man came back early. When he saw me reading these books, his mood changed drastically. He dragged me out without saying anything, chopped off a piece of my middle finger with a sickle, and then told me to get out..." Chu Tianci said

The expression here is gloomy. "You didn't give me anything. You just threw me a necklace and told me never to go back. You didn't even give me a reason."

When Chu Tianci finished speaking, he already had a simple and elegant necklace in his hand. Huo Qian took one look and stood up in stunned silence, pointing at the necklace and speaking incoherently.

"Eight...Eight Dragon Holding Pearls! How come you have this...this necklace?"

"Brother Qian, do you know this necklace?!" Chu Tianci asked curiously.

"I don't know him, but I've heard some rumors about this necklace."

"Huo Qian, you are usually a very steady person, why are you so excited today? Tell me slowly, I want to hear it too." Yue Leiting patted his hand.

"This is a Taoist secret. The Eight Dragons Holding Pearls necklace is a Taoist sacred object. It contains the essence and secrets of the five Taoist arts. Anyone who can understand the secret of the Eight Dragons Holding Pearls can learn the five Taoist techniques from ancient times to the present.

There are all unknown secrets in the art. These essences and all-encompassing hidden treasures are the authentic works that those who study the five arts flock to. It is said that the true teachings inside can penetrate the heavens and the earth and be omnipotent."

Yue Leiting took the necklace from Chu Tianci and looked at it repeatedly for a long time.

"There's nothing in here?"

"It is said that this jade ring necklace with eight dragons holding beads is not a jade for people, but a jade for people. It is a psychic sacred object. It is just an ordinary necklace owned by people who are not qualified. Once the jade finds an owner who can control it, he must

The radiance will be endless, and the essence of the five arts will be passed down to this person." Huo Qian became more and more excited as he spoke. "But these are just rumors, and no one has ever truly understood it."

"Is it because of this necklace that I have mastered the five Taoist arts since I was a child?" Chu Tianci said with a confused look on his face.

"It's really unreasonable for God to teach himself without a teacher. How could he master the five profound arts of Taoism in just a dozen years? God has such ability. It must be a coincidence that he unlocked the secret of the eight dragons holding the beads. God! You!

He is the owner of this necklace, so you are able to master the five hidden arts at such a young age."

Yue Leiting handed the necklace back to Chu Tianci and said happily: "Tianci, this is your creation, keep it well. If I can count everything like you, I won't be happy to death. If you want money, you will have money."

Quan has the right, at least...hehe, you will win every time you bet, hahaha."

"The eight dragons hold the pearl, seal the territory and split the earth, and all things in the country only recognize its owner!" Huo Qian also nodded and continued. "This sentence has been rumored among Taoist disciples." It means who can obtain and understand the eight dragon hold

With the secret inside the pearl, it is easy for him to confer a title of prince and become a prime minister, and to split the earth to become a king, even if everything in the world is controlled by one hand."

Chu Tianci smiled lightly, hung the necklace around his neck and said disapprovingly.
