Chapter 68 The Fish Hooked



The real masters are all hidden.Chu Xinian sat quietly at the street corner for a long time, neither soliciting customers nor doing business, which had attracted the attention of many people.Coupled with his out-of-this-world temperament, it seems that he really has the demeanor of an outsider.

Hearing Chu Xinian's words, the fat rich man froze suddenly, his expression clouded.He simply threw Xuan Yeping aside, walked straight towards Chu Xinian, and sat opposite him with a big horse and golden sword.

The fat rich man cupped his hands at Chu Xinian, and with a bit of awe in his words, he asked tentatively, "Dare to ask about the long name?"

Chu Xinian closed his eyes indifferently, and did not reveal any information: "Poverty Dao is a person of asceticism, who has long since discarded his worldly skin, and has no name or surname."

The fat rich man thought he was unfathomable, and he felt admiration in his heart when he heard the words, and sighed: "The Taoist priest really has supernatural powers, to tell the truth, my surname is indeed Zhou, and I just came out of the Rouge Building on South Street."

Rouge House is the busiest brothel restaurant nearby, and the rich man this week turned out to be a lustful person.

The common people gathered around to watch the excitement, pointing and pointing: "Oh, what a god, does this priest really have some supernatural powers?"

"Isn't it just a name? Who doesn't know rich man Zhou in this area? Not only do I know his surname is Zhou, but I also know how many wives he has married in his family. Wouldn't I also become a fortune teller?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, but Chu Xinian was the only one who did not move like a mountain.

Rich Lord Zhou listened to the words of the crowd, and doubts arose in his heart.He silently sized up Chu Xinian with mung bean-sized eyes, then took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and slammed it on the table with a bang: "I want to ask the Taoist priest to do other calculations. If the calculation is accurate, this ingot The silver will go to the Taoist priest, but if the calculation is not accurate..."

He sneered twice, and was about to say something threatening, when the man in black behind the Taoist suddenly slapped the table with his palm, and when he raised his hand again, the silver ingot was directly slapped into a silver cake.

Xie Jingyuan's eyes were condensed, and he asked in a dangerous tone: "I don't know what you want?"

Seeing this, rich man Zhou trembled in fright. He didn't expect Xie Jingyuan to be a master, so he was speechless for a long time.At this moment, Chu Xinian just opened his mouth to make a rescue: "Master Zhou, my apprentice was born in the mountains since he was a child, and he doesn't know etiquette, so please don't blame him."

Xie Jingyuan cast a sidelong glance at Chu Xinian when he heard the words, curled his lips, and was very dissatisfied with his behavior of taking advantage of him.You can't even break a chopstick, but you still want to be your own master?

Mr. Zhou wiped the sweat off his face, and could only say with a dry smile, "No problem...no problem..."

Chu Xinian signaled the rich man Zhou to stretch out his hand: "Meeting is a fate, how about the poor way to check your palm for you?"

The rich man Zhou couldn't ask for more. Hearing this, he immediately stretched out his hand and spread it flat in front of Chu Xinian: "I also ask the Taoist priest to calculate my luck."

Chu Xinian observed the lines on his palm calmly, and found that although rich man Zhou was covered with gold and silver, his palms were full of old thick calluses, his fingers were rough, and there was a mark left by the rope on the tiger's mouth all the year round.

Chu Xinian closed his eyes and stroked his fake beard, and said eight words: "Bitterness first, sweetness later, self-made."

The onlookers thought it was impossible, the rich man Zhou had a lot of money, how could he be considered suffering.The rich man Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he didn't speak, but waited quietly for Chu Xinian's next words.

Chu Xinian saw that his clothes were expensive, with a very faint rouge stained on his neckline, and four or five sachets embroidered by different women around his waist, and said slowly: "The glory has been obtained, but it has been covered by makeup." Misunderstanding of women."

Rich Zhou smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Who doesn't like pretty beauties."

Chu Xinian noticed that there were three slender fingernail marks on the back of his neck, which had scabbed over. Although his cheeks were flushed from drinking, it was not difficult to find light red marks on careful observation, as if he had been slapped by someone.

Chu Xinian took his pulse without a trace, and found that his kidney water was deficient, and his internal organs had been emptied by wine and sex. It is usually difficult for such a person to have offspring.Slowly withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and shook the tortoise shell: "Master Zhou had a fight with a woman recently, avoid it when you should, don't miss your own destiny, you have no children under your knees, if you want to continue to have an heir, you must change your life."

The rich man Zhou was surprised when he heard the words, thinking how Chu Xinian knew all this, his doubts disappeared, and he wished to confess him as a living god, and said in an excited tone: "The Taoist priest has a fortune! To be honest, my The lady in the main house is very aggressive, she has not been pregnant for many years, I have no choice but to take a concubine to raise a child, but she is messing with me every day, it is really annoying, and I ask the Taoist priest to help me!"

Chu Xinian shook out three copper coins from the tortoise shell, and pretended to calculate for a moment: "If you want to change your luck, there is a way, but I don't know if Master Zhou can do it."

Rich Zhou immediately pricked up his ears: "The Taoist might as well speak bluntly."

Just looking at Mr. Zhou's words and deeds just now, one can tell that he is a bully and a rascal on this street.Chu Xinian put the first copper coin in front of him: "First, your blessings are weak and you have few friends. You need to do more good deeds, build bridges and pave roads, so that you can accumulate yin virtue."

The rich man Zhou nodded again and again, he really has few friends and no close friends.

Chu Xinian moved the second copper coin in front of him: "Second, you will have a bloody disaster in the near future, and you will lose your lifespan. Don't go out for half a year."

The first two rich men of Zhou nodded their heads again and again, and asked: "Master Daoist, what about the third one?"

"This is the third one..." Chu Xinian moved the last copper coin in front of him, pointing out, "The place of fireworks is full of sensuality, you are a lucky person, so you will become prosperous later on, but if you linger In the pile of fat and powder, the luck will be swallowed by the wine, and it will become weaker and weaker."

There are no fools in business, and rich man Zhou suddenly realized when he heard the words: "The Taoist priest wants to persuade me to do good deeds, go out less, and avoid drinking and sex. Is that right?"

Chu Xinian smiled without saying a word, and said: "Pindao only counts one hexagram a day, today's hexagram has been calculated, and Master Zhou can leave."

If he was like an ordinary quack sorcerer, he would randomly talk about blackened Yintang, haunted by demons, and need to spend money to eliminate disasters, rich man Zhou would never believe it.But the words that persuade people to be kind, without threats or intimidation, make people feel that he is extraordinary.

Seeing this, the rich man Zhou took out two large silver ingots from his arms, and handed them to Chu Xinian with both hands respectfully: "Thank you for your words of gold and jade, I have nothing long in my body, but I have gold and silver, so please accept it with a smile."

But Chu Xinian didn't accept it. Shi Shiran got up and shook his sleeve robe: "Poverty is an outsider, and he doesn't need gold and silver. Today, I have a destiny with Master Zhou, so why not give you a hexagram."

After finishing speaking, he said to Xie Jingyuan: "Disciple, let's go."

Xie Jingyuan didn't move.

He didn't realize that Chu Xinian was calling him.

Chu Xinian glanced at him: "Disciple, are you still leaving?"

Only then did Xie Jingyuan come back to his senses, glared at him angrily, packed up the booth and left with him.

The onlookers were amazed, and sighed: "This is an expert, look, you don't need a penny, hey, if I knew it, I would ask him for a fortune."

"That can't be done. The Taoist priest said that only one hexagram is counted a day. Look, they have gone out of the city. You may try it tomorrow."

Xuan Yeping was almost kicked out of the stall, and stood by the side still trembling with fear.Seeing that Chu Xinian left after doing the hexagrams, he couldn't help but feel a little bit puzzled, wondering if he was really a living god?

Thinking about this, he didn't even set up a stall right now, he quickly packed up his things, and quietly followed in the direction Chu Xinian left just now.

Xie Jingyuan and Chu Xinian walked slowly outside the city gate, and soon found him, looked back without any trace, and pointedly said: "A follower is following up."

Chu Xinian corrected him with a smile: "It's not a follower, but a fish caught."

Xie Jingyuan lifted the bamboo hat with the hilt of his sword, and felt that Chu Xinian was so strange that he seemed to have more secrets than himself: "How do you know that fat rich man's surname is Zhou?"

Chu Xinian smiled lightly: "He wears a jade pendant around his waist with the word 'Zhou' engraved on it."

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Then how do you know he came from the south?"

Chu Xinian: "There are rouge marks on the girl's lips on his collar, and he smells of alcohol and powder, so he must have come from the brothel Chu House. There is a Rouge House not far from here, so it's not difficult to guess."

Xie Jingyuan snorted: "I thought you really knew fortune-telling, General."

"Who says I can't?" Chu Xinian pursed his lips slightly, squeezed Xie Jingyuan's hand, pretended to look at his palm prints, and said after a while: "The general is a man with good fortune."

"Houfu" represents "suffering before".

Xie Jingyuan took a deep look at him: "What kind of post-fufa?"

Chu Xinian walked with him to the outskirts of the city, and there was a lot of green grass on the side of the road, and the bushes gradually deepened: "Then it depends on what the general wants. ?”

Xie Jingyuan didn't know why, but felt that the palm of his hand was a little empty. He unconsciously grabbed Chu Xinian's hand, laughed at himself, and said to himself: "You are not a god, how can you say what you say, in the future I will not be decapitated , there will be no bones left, and there may not be a good end..."

Xie Jingyuan knew that he and the prince had walked a very dangerous road, and there was no turning back.

"I said yes, so there will be."

Chu Xinian closed his eyes calmly, never being so sure about one thing.He knew that Xie Jingyuan would have a good ending, and this ending would definitely be given by himself in the future.

Before they knew it, they had reached the outskirts of the city.

Chu Xinian stopped by the lake, and asked Xie Jingyuan in a low voice: "Is he still following?"

Xie Jingyuan hummed: "Ten steps away."

Chu Xinian took out a stack of yellow paper spells from his sleeve: "General, just do as I said before."

When Xie Jingyuan heard Chu Xinian mention this matter, his eyelids couldn't help jumping. Although he didn't really want to do it, he could only bite the bullet.

He coughed twice, deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

It was obvious that he pronounced the word "Master" through gritted teeth, extremely reluctant.

Xuan Yeping hid behind the woods and observed their situation.With a wave of Chu Xinian's sleeve and robe, the yellow talisman in his hand ignited out of thin air and landed on the lake, and then there was a sudden explosion in the water, causing countless splashes, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Chu Xinian's voice was heavy: "There are people in this lake who died in vain, full of resentment, and they will become ghosts in seven days. Wait for me to drive them away, so as not to cause harm to the world."

Xie Jingyuan clasped his sword in both hands, and recited lines without emotion: "It's all my fault for my stupidity. I can't learn the master's housekeeping skills. If the mantle is lost in the future, my disciple will die. Master should take another disciple."

Chu Xi Nian sighed aloud: "People in the world are ignorant, even as a teacher, I want to accept disciples again, but it's a pity that I haven't met anyone with predestined relationship so far. Well, maybe it's fate."

After speaking, the sleeve robe shook, and he was about to take Xie Jingyuan away, but before taking two steps, Xuan Yeping suddenly ran out from the side, and knelt down in front of him with a plop: "Stop the fairy!"

The fish is hooked...

Chu Xi took a step back and expressed a little surprise: "Who are you?"

Xuan Yeping is a superstitious person, otherwise he wouldn't be a Taoist priest pretending to be a ghost.Today, he saw Chu Xinian ordered to look at the physiognomy, and he also had the special skill of catching ghosts just now, and he felt in his heart that he had met an expert outside the world, so he would not let him go right now.

He knelt on the ground, hugging Chu Xinian's leg without letting go, and said in an urgent tone, "The Immortal Chief stays behind, disciple Xuan Yeping, I would like to worship under the Immortal Chief's sect and devote myself to cultivating, and I also ask the Immortal Chief to accept me as an apprentice!"

Chu Xinian smeared sulfur and phosphorus powder on the yellow talisman, and mixed sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter in proportion to make a small explosive package.Just now when "casting the spell", he used the sleeve robe to cover it up, and easily confused Xuan Yeping.He stood with his hands behind his back, and said to Xuanye Ping: "The poor Taoist is a man from the mountains and fields. He is poor and has nothing to gain. He really has nothing to teach, so how can he talk about accepting disciples?"

After finishing speaking, he lifted Xuan Yeping up from the ground: "You'd better leave quickly."

Xie Jingyuan watched Chu Xinian pretending to be a ghost, and curled his lips.

Xuanyeping just couldn't get up: "Please accept me as a disciple, otherwise the disciple will not be able to kneel for a long time!"

Xie Jingyuan unsheathed his long sword directly, pointed at Xuan Yeping's neck and said disdainfully: "My master said that if he doesn't accept disciples, he won't accept them. Why do you think ordinary people can worship under my master?"

"This, this, this..." Xuanye said anxiously, "This disciple is dedicated to Taoism and has been cultivating for many years, but unfortunately there is no way to find a way. It is fate to meet today. Even if you don't accept him as a disciple, please ask the elder to give you some advice." .”

Chu Xinian signaled Xie Jingyuan to put away his sword, and sighed: "Forget it, since we met, I will give you a hexagram from Pindao."

Xuan Yeping's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly stretched out his hand: "Please call the elder."

Chu Xinian looked at his palm prints, smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "The golden scale is not a thing in the pool, it can transform into a dragon when it encounters a storm. At the foot of the Tianfeng Mountain, I met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and rode the wind to the blue clouds for three years. You The good days are yet to come..."

His voice was ethereal and far away, and Xuanyeping was fascinated by the sound, and he couldn't help thinking about the meaning: meeting the Lord at the foot of Tianfeng Mountain, and riding the wind to the blue clouds for three years, does it mean that he will meet a noble person at the foot of Tianfeng Mountain, and then the blue clouds will go straight up? ?

"Xianchang..."

Xuan Yeping raised his head to ask clearly, but Chu Xinian's figure was no longer in front of him, it was empty, only the branches and leaves trembled.He couldn't help but kowtowed to the air: "Disciple, thank the Immortal for your enlightenment! Thank you, Immortal for your enlightenment!"

After speaking, he hurriedly got up and went straight to Tianfeng Mountain.

Xie Jingyuan and Chu Xinian hid in the tree, seeing Xuan Yeping being taken aback by being fooled, they sneered: "Idiot."

Chu Xinian got rid of the disguise, tore off the fake beard on his face, and smiled slightly: "He is not an idiot, he is eloquent and eloquent, he is a great disaster."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xie Jingyuan: "Tomorrow the King of Jin will go to Tianfeng Mountain with Concubine Mei to worship the Buddha, is the news correct?"

King Jin came back to court three days ago after he quelled the bandit rebellion in Shuofang.

Xie Jingyuan said: "The crown prince has not been in vain these years. There are many spies in the palace. Since he said that the king of Jin will worship the Buddha with Concubine Mei, there should be no mistakes."

After he finished speaking, he took Chu Xinian directly down the tree, and still didn't forget to insult him: "You don't even know lightness kung fu, and you still have the face to be the master of this general."
