【Chapter 316】Alternative Master (2)

That Ma Laosi, not only is he not a descendant of the Huoling Cult, but he also does not tell fortunes, exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, does not choose auspicious days, does not arrange birth dates, does not understand the Tao of Qi and Huang, does not look at Yin and Yang Feng Shui, and is not a person of any kind.

A master of martial arts with unique skills...

So, in what aspect and what profession is he an expert?

What's more, the few of us who have traveled all over the country, although we can't say that we have met countless people, at least we have come into contact with many Gaoshiqi people and shady old ghosts. All of them are open-minded and approachable. They are not looking at the sky or being arrogant.

I won’t be arrogant to others!

And this Ma Laosi is so bitter and cold, but others say that he is an expert and has a weird temper!

Ma Laosi does indeed have a strange temper. We have already learned from him, but we just don’t know what makes him such an expert?

"Old man, among the three hundred and sixty industries, we have almost guessed the weird ones, but we haven't guessed them correctly. So in which field is Ma Laosi an expert?" Boss Liu was deeply puzzled.

asked.

"Haha, you definitely can't guess it, so I'll tell you," the old man said proudly, "He, Ma Lao Si, knows the art of looking at the Qi!"

The art of looking at Qi? We all laughed!

We thought he had some amazing magic skills! It turns out that he is just a magician who knows how to look at qi! From ancient times to the present, although there are not many people who know the art of gazing at qi, they are definitely not rare.

Him alone!

Whether it was when Lao Tzu rode a green ox to the west, Yin Xi, the commander of Hangu Pass, saw the purple air coming from the east and knew that a foreigner was coming, or Zhang Liang saw the auspicious cloud above Liu Bang's head and knew that he must be the emperor, or those who watched the mountains

Qi, Feng Shui people looking for dragon veins are not as big as that Ma Laosi!

"Haha, I thought he was a man who slayed dragons and subdued tigers, but it turned out that he was just a man looking for luck! Is this worthy of him looking at the sky?" Liu Liyan said with a disapproving smile.

"Yeah, he's just a Yin-Yang magician. What kind of expert is he?" Platoon Leader Huo spread his hands and said in agreement.

A few of us were also laughing and joking, saying that we didn't care about that kind of magical warlock, let alone admiring him very much - it's not that we looked down on him, Ma Laosi, but this kind of

There are many sorcerers, not to mention he is quite arrogant and rude!

"Wrong, wrong! That old man Ma neither looks at people's aura to know their dignity, nor does he look at the earth's aura to find the dragon's veins. Moreover, he never looks at the aura of a living person!" The old man didn't look at us when he saw him.

Take your words to heart and explain quickly.

"If he doesn't show it to the living, how can he show his anger to the dead?" Platoon Leader Huo asked in shock.

"That's right, he, Ma Laosi, specializes in praying for the dead!" the old man said with certainty.

To give hope to the dead? Only then did the few of us put away our disdainful expressions and looked at the old man curiously, wanting to know more. Not only did people die like a lamp going out, at least the soul of the deceased had returned to heaven or hell, leaving behind

What's left is just a dead body, so what's the hope?

"It's like this. Just by standing by any grave, Ma Laosi can know whether the person buried in the grave is a man or a woman, old or young, whether he died of old age or was killed, etc.," the old man said with great admiration.

Said, "Ma Laosi can even

Based on the aura of the tomb, we can tell whether the deceased is in heaven or hell, whether he has been reincarnated or is still in the underworld, whether he has been reincarnated as a human or an animal, and we can also judge the rise and fall of his descendants...

."

Completed in one go, eloquently, the old gentleman's admiration for Na Ma Laosi was like a river bursting its embankment and it was out of control!

As soon as the old man said this, the few of us stopped laughing and joking, and stood there in shock and confusion!

Because what we hear about people who look at Qi is nothing more than observing the sky and clouds to know the weapons and weapons to control chaos in the world; smelling the smell to judge the good and bad luck of the Yin and Yang houses; looking at the Feng Shui airflow to find the king's Qi and dragon veins; and discerning the light of the complexion to know the hero.

The emperor, perhaps knowing the health status of a living person by looking at the breath and complexion of a living person, has never heard of such a unique skill as Ma Laosi!

"Old man, are you, what you just said is all true? Not at all false?" Platoon Leader Huo asked as if he didn't believe it.

"Ahem, look at me, old man. I'm already so old. Why am I lying to you? Can I still accumulate merit and virtue by lying to others and let King Yama increase my life span?" The old man said sincerely, "Well, Mr. Ma

Si really does have that unique skill!"

"This? That's not what I meant, junior. I'm just very curious, how can Mr. Ma Laosi know such weird skills? It's really unbelievable!" Platoon Leader Huo immediately added "Old Man" after Ma Laosi.

The word "Mr." expressed respect, and he quickly added, "But based on this, there is no need for him to be so cold to others!"

"Haha, ah, I don't want to say more about this. If I say more, I will become a talkative woman behind people's backs!" The old man said with a smile, "There are still many people who know how to do it, but it's a pity that he

When I get older, I say I don’t want to serve others, so I become even more indifferent to others!”

"Old man, what do you mean, does Mr. Ma know why we are looking for him?" Boss Liu asked cautiously.

"Well, that's of course. Otherwise, if you ask for directions or ask for water, he will never drive you away!" The old man said very confidently, "It seems that you guys, Ma Laosi, really have the skills to find him.

Is it something difficult?"

"That's right, we just encountered a problem that we can't solve, and that's why we came here because of its reputation! It's a pity that he, his old man, is unwilling to help, what should we do!" Boss Liu sighed.

"Haha, of course I can't help you solve this problem. After all, experts like Ma Laosi are not found everywhere." The old man pondered for a moment before speaking, "But, I can help you.

Show me the way and let Mr. Ma help you! People, no matter how powerful they are, will always have hobbies, shortcomings, and holes to exploit!"

This sentence is true! In this world, no matter whether you are an emperor or general, a saint through the ages, a trafficker or a pawn, or a butcher or a scholar, you are all bound by the vulgarities.

They are nothing more than a lover of money and lust, a glutton for drinking and gambling, a lover of gambling and smoking, a lover of flattery, etc. As long as you identify their weaknesses and cater to them, it will naturally be very convenient for you to ask for help.

I heard that the Taoist priest used a few white geese, which were not very valuable, to get Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, to be willing to help him write a "Huang Ting Jing". Isn't this because Wang Xizhi loved geese as much as his life?

And he, Ma Laosi, has his hobbies and shortcomings. And at his age, he must no longer covet women. In addition, if he loves money, we can spend all our money; if he is good,

If he smokes, we have high-quality foreign cigarettes for him; if he drinks too much, we can even get him drunk...

"Then thank you very much, old man." Mr. Liu quickly offered a cigarette with both hands to the old man again, "I just don't know what Mr. Ma Laosi likes?"

"Well, it's really hard for people outside to know. He doesn't smoke or gamble, he's not greedy for money, he just likes to drink crucian carp soup, occasionally hunt hares and pheasants, and pick some wild mushrooms.

I am looking for someone to exchange for some small crucian carp ----- He is old and his legs and feet are inconvenient, so fishing is not easy!"

"This is easy! Old man, where are the rivers and ponds near you? As long as there are crucian carps, we will definitely be able to get some for him. Of course, we must honor you half the time!" Liu Liyan heard that Ma Laosi

He loves crucian carp and is so happy that he slaps his thighs --- catching fish in the water is his specialty!

"Haha, if our platform is full of ponds and rivers, then crucian carp will not be rare!" The old man told us with a smile, "In our place, you have also seen that there are steep slopes and rocks everywhere, except for two ancient wells.

Apart from providing water for people, there really are no ponds or rivers nearby!”

"Then, what should we do, Boss Liu? Why don't we go back to fish first and then bring them here?" Liuli looked at Boss Liu and said, "In that case, the little crucian carp must be stale!"

"Old man, is there no mountain spring or river near you?" Boss Liu asked reluctantly.

"Well, there is a pool, and there are a lot of fish there. But, I heard people say that there are some unclean things in it, and most people don't dare to go fishing there!" said the old man, "We used to get off the horse platform.

"Man, several people were missing in that pool, and not even their bodies were found!"

"That's no problem! Old man, just tell us where the pool is!" Liuliyan said without any consideration.

"Tsk tsk, that pond is just over two miles in front of our village. Well, you can see it when you leave the village. But I'm afraid that if you find something long and two short there, I will be guilty!" The old man hesitated!

said hesitantly.

There is a pond more than two miles away, which is definitely the best for us. We borrowed a wooden barrel from the old man to hold the fish, and then we said goodbye to the old man immediately, and a few of us rushed forward.

Sure enough, not long after we left the village, we saw the mirror-like pool below. After rushing over, we found that the pool was quiet and seemed to be very deep. There were only occasional bubbles and fish that suddenly jumped out of the water.

, makes us excited!

"Look better, when you see me throwing the fish up, you can put it back in the bucket on the shore. When the bucket is almost half full, tell me that I will come back!" Liuliyan took off his clothes very quickly, "I will try to go faster.

, we must win Ma Laosi’s favor before dark!”

"Brother, there may be something wrong with this pool. Look, it's dark and scary. You go down to the edge to explore. If it doesn't work, come up quickly and we'll find a solution!" Boss Liu warned uneasily.

.

"Don't worry, Brother Liu, brother, I'm not good at other things. Even when I catch fish in the water, I'm just so-so!" Liu Liyan said as he plopped in and jumped in.

Liu Liyan is right, he is really good at underwater. Not long after he entered the water, he dived and surfaced several times, and each time he was able to throw up two small fish that were more than a foot long, and they were all crucian carp.

.

In just one bag of cigarettes, we picked up most of the crucian carp in the barrel. Boss Liu quickly told Liuli to put it away when it was ready and come up quickly.

Seeing that we were done, we were just waiting for Brother Liuliyan to surface, come up and put on his clothes before we left, when we suddenly saw a large splash of water in the pool, as if some monster was churning.

Needless to say, the Liuliyan brothers must have encountered some kind of trouble! We had no guns in our hands and were anxiously wandering around the pond, but we were beyond our reach and didn’t know what to do!

Zhang Dabiao even picked up a big stone next to him, raised it above his head, and was ready to throw it into the pool to hit the water monster. It was a pity that the glass-eyed brother did not come up from the water, so he did not dare to act rashly!

Of course, Liu Liyan's strange eyes can see ghosts and gods, and his gaze in the water is like a torch on the ground. He is definitely not a person who deserves his fame. So just when we were anxious, he rushed out of the water like a sharp arrow and climbed up in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a snake head as thick as a thigh appeared in the pool, with its mouth wide open and exposed from the water.

How could Zhang Dabiao miss this opportunity? When he saw a giant snake protruding its head, he immediately smashed the stone with both hands.

The snake tilted its head. Although it was not hit by the stone, it was frightened and immediately shrank its head and dived in.

"It's so dangerous, brother, it turns out there's a big water snake in here! If it weren't for my brother's skill, it would have been much worse!" Boss Liu said fearfully.

"Hehe, I saw that guy as soon as I got down!" Liu Liyan said while putting on clothes, "Actually, if it hadn't been for something else today, brother, I really wouldn't be afraid of it! It's just a water snake, no matter how big it is.

It’s a water snake!”

Seeing that the sun was only a pole high, of course we didn't dare to compete with the big water snake. After all, it was important to find Ma Laosi to handle our business.
