Li Shang was responsible for sending the blind old woman home. He also sent the basket of eggs back. Instead of giving it directly to the old woman, he gave it to the old woman's neighbor, who asked the honest and honest neighbor to secretly put one or two eggs in it every day.
Into the chicken coop.
After explaining clearly, Li Chang returned from a long way. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he met an old Taoist wearing a simple Taoist robe and a white jade crown.
The old Taoist held a long flag in his hand, with the four characters "turn bad luck into good luck" written on it. The bell around his waist jingled, swinging in the wind in the empty mountain.
When the old Taoist saw Li Chang walking very fast, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Chang's arm. His wrinkled face stretched out and he said with a smile: "Young man is very skilled. Let the poor Taoist tell you a fortune. Don't do it."
money!"
Li Chang raised his eyebrows, tied the bamboo hat on his head firmly, shook his hand to show that he didn't believe this, and reached out to grab the old Taoist's wrist. Unexpectedly, the old Taoist's wrist was particularly strong, and he couldn't break free for a while.
The old Taoist stood next to Li Shang's ear and pretended to be mysterious: "A poor Taoist can calculate everything, including future, bad luck, horoscopes, marriage, and past lives. It only costs one tael of silver per calculation, so it's cheap."
Li Chang rolled his eyes, one tael of silver is still cheap?
Those Taoist priests who sit on the streets and tell fortunes every time they tell fortunes only dare to take five copper coins and open their mouths for one or two silver coins. I'm afraid these Taoists are crazy about money.
He clapped his hands, his sleeves bulged, and said, "I have no money."
"How is that possible!" The old Taoist stared, walked around Li Shang, and said, "Little friend, don't try to deceive me. The smell of money on your body can be smelled by me from two miles away."
Li Shang: "..."
The old Taoist priest did not give up. He grabbed Li Shang's sleeves and lowered his voice: "Don't you want to figure out your future? I think you are not young. Don't you have a woman you like? The future will be unlucky and good, and the cause and effect can only be calculated by calculating the future."
You can know it with just a few silver ingots, isn’t it cost-effective?”
Li Shang stood straight on the spot, without saying a word, and just got into a fight with the old man.
He did have money, but the money was all pocket money given to him by sister A Li, and he planned to save it and send it to Wang Mingxi and Li Xuxian.
That day, the three of them agreed to open a martial arts gym in Jinling. He has never forgotten this.
As the sun moved towards the west, the old Taoist said anxiously: "Pin Tao is really unlucky. When I meet a little friend like you, it's not a big deal to ask Ping Tao for fortune telling."
Li Chang exhaled a breath of hot air and said helplessly: "Old sir, just give up and don't delay me on my way back."
The old Taoist man still held his palm tightly and said urgently: "How about this? There is a bucket of lottery tickets here for Pindao. You can pick one at will and calculate ten cents. If it is not correct, Pindao will not take any cents."
Li Chang's eyes rolled, and the old Taoist saw that there was something going on, so he took advantage of the heat and said: "My little friend, if you win the lottery, Pindao will give you no money for the next two fortune-tellings. If you get the lottery, how about Pindao charges five cents per fortune?"
"
"Here's a hexagram!" Li Shang rubbed his hands.
The old Taoist's face was dark, and he thought that this boy was a prostitute. He took out the bucket of lottery tickets from the bag hanging beside him, handed it to Li Chang's hand and said, "Wake it around twice and pick one at will."
Li Shang picked up the bucket, shook it gently, watched the bamboo sticks swinging in the bucket, and poured out one at will. There was a wisp of bright red and purple on the bamboo stick.
The old Taoist twisted the bamboo stick and said with some surprise: "Oh, I'm lucky, little friend. It's the top pick."
Li Chang's face was full of suspicion, and he shook the bucket of lottery tickets and said, "Isn't it possible that all the lottery tickets here are top-notch ones?"
The old Taoist raised his finger to wipe away a drop of sweat on his forehead, and sneered: "How can a poor Taoist do such a shameless thing? This is a future lottery. What kind of future do you want to have?"
"I plan to open a martial arts gym in Jinling." Li Chang hesitated for a few seconds, trying to figure out the martial arts gyms that were still being planned.
"Martial Arts School." The old Taoist laughed, and with a flick of his fingertips, the bamboo stick ignited a wisp of flame, which melted in the snow.
"The prosperity of the martial arts school will be in the future, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years. We have to wait. You will have another opportunity when you go to Jinling. It is the key to the prosperity of the martial arts school."
Li Chang pondered for a few seconds and then opened the sword box. The old man saw several dark iron heavy swords in the sword box. His eyelids jumped and he said hurriedly: "Little friends, don't be excited. The blades are sharp and can easily hurt people!"
Li Chang took out a baggage from the sword box, took out a silver ingot, and handed it to the old Taoist, "There are two hexagrams of silver left."
"My dear friend, you are so generous."
The old Taoist put the silver coins away and praised.
Li Chang thought for a while, and his face was as calm as water: "Have my father Li Xun and my mother Yi Qiuxiao been reincarnated?"
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated and said, "You'll have to pay extra for this!"
Li Chang decisively took out another silver ingot.
"not enough!"
Li Shang directly took out a piece of silver ingot.
The old Taoist took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I will go out of my way to give you a reincarnation today!"
He took a strand of hair from Li Shang's head, twisted it with his fingertips, and the strand of hair flew far away with the wind, and then he recited plausibly: "In one and a half years, the fortune chart has been changed, God's will has determined, and the destiny has been
change……"
Li Chang waited quietly, and saw the old Taoist twitching all over as if he was a psychic, and quietly distanced himself.
After a while, the old Taoist woke up from convulsions, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, as if he had walked a long way.
"This calculation has wiped out at least ten years of Pindao's merit."
Li Chang said coldly: "It's already dusk, so we'd better hurry up."
"These days, little friend, you are really inconsiderate." The old Taoist wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed his fingertips towards the south. "Reincarnation is already extraordinary. You can still see me once in this life. Pay attention to the children on the street.
The Nine Netherworlds have gone through reincarnation once, and the cause and effect have been resolved, so don’t recognize each other.”
Li Chang nodded heavily, feeling much relieved.
Although his parents abandoned him when he was very young and suffered a lot in Mutian City because of his parents when he grew up, they were still kind to him after all.
"Finally, can I kill Lin Qingxuan?"
"Little friend, Pindao is a fortune teller, not a fortune teller, and the little friend also has the answer in his heart, please change it."
Depressed, Li Chang put the sword box on his shoulder again.
As he walked along, he already knew in his mind that there was a gap wider than the world between mortals and practitioners. No matter how hard he tried or how much sweat he spent, he could not fill this gap.
Mortals are mortals and cannot climb that ladder to heaven.
Li Chang patted her cheek dullly and asked tentatively: "I don't know my horoscope, can it still be considered a marriage?"
The old Taoist was quite excited and said: "This poor Taoist is the most accurate and can calculate!"
Li Chang always felt that this old Taoist was fooling people, so he handed over his birth date. The old Taoist pinched his fingers quickly and praised repeatedly: "You have a red luan star in your head. You are very blessed. You will be surrounded by orioles in the future.
Let’s wait for the family to be filled with descendants!”
When Li Shang said the name and birthday of the woman in his heart, the old Taoist priest counted it three times with his fingers, but his brows were furrowed.
"If Pindao's calculations are correct, the girl you just mentioned has a bad destiny for her father and mother, and there are three hundred and sixty-five days in the rotation, so her birthday cannot be arranged on a good schedule anyway, and
The fate is strange, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you marry her, little friend, you may not survive this fate."
The old Taoist held out five fingers.
"Five years?"
"Wrong, it's five hours!"
"Wouldn't it mean that you can't even survive the wedding night?" Li Chang muttered, then looked at the old Taoist with a strange expression, "You just opened your mouth and started talking nonsense. I won't believe you."
After saying that, Li Chang moved a few meters away on his toes, turned his head and took a deep look at the old Taoist priest, and saw the old Taoist priest standing in the snow with his hands bowed in greeting.
There was a sound in the wind.
"You both deceive others and yourself, little friends do it for themselves."
