Bai Gu held the cup in one hand and put the other hand on his knee, holding a yellow talisman in his hand.
Bai Gu's eyes were complicated. Looking at the young Taoist devouring food in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "Hey, magic stick, are you really as powerful as Granny Dong said?"
The young Taoist randomly stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it along with other things in his mouth.
Because there was too much food, it was very difficult to swallow, and the young Taoist's eyes almost bulged out.
The young Taoist patted his chest a few times to calm down, drank a few sips of chicken soup to smooth things down, and then said: "I'm not bragging. In this Yunshui City, I only talk about asking for hexagrams and fortune telling." , Pindao can be ranked among the top three!"
After saying that, the young Taoist glanced at Bai Gu with a proud expression.
I can't win over you, little one?
Unexpectedly, a trace of disappointment flashed in Bai Gu's eyes, "Only the top three, I thought he was the first."
The young Taoist was immediately furious, "Xiao Bai Gu, what are you talking about? What do you mean by being in the top three? You are very powerful, okay?"
Bai Gu said disapprovingly: "It's just Yunshui City. Even if you are the number one in Yunshui City, wouldn't it be just ordinary outside? You can't be the number one in the world just because you are the number one in Yunshui City? Besides, do you have the strength? It’s just a matter of words, who doesn’t know how to brag?”
The young Taoist curled his lips, "There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. In the path of inquiry, those who are masters come first. Yunshuicheng is not big even if it is small. There are too many people hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and poor Taoists are not Dare to trust the big one."
"That's still bragging."
The young Taoist slammed the table and shouted: "Xiao Baigu, do you understand that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world? Isn't it good to be more humble?"
"You're the only one who's still humble?" Bai Gu sneered.
"Of course Pindao is humble, otherwise why would he only say that Pindao's ability to perform hexagrams and sign interpretations ranks among the top three in Yunshui City?" The young Taoist raised his chin, feeling very proud.
"Then you mean, you have more than this strength?" Bai Gu showed a malicious smile.
"That's right!" The young Taoist looked arrogant.
"Are you wronged by being ranked in the top three?"
"That is!"
"Then you are the number one in Yunshui City?"
"That's... no! Xiao Baigu, you're trying to trick me!" The young Taoist finally came to his senses, but the words had already been spoken.
Bai Gu sneered, "You're just at this level, but your hexagram skills are pretty good? Why didn't you figure it out and I tricked you? You're just bragging!"
The young Taoist became anxious all of a sudden, "If you don't believe it, then show the bamboo stick prophecy to Pindao, and Pindao will explain it to you!"
This was what Bai Gu was waiting for.
He unfolded the yellow talisman and saw four prophecies written in cinnabar on it.
The young Taoist stretched out his hand to take the yellow talisman, but Bai Gu moved his hand to avoid it, "Your hands are full of oil."
The young Taoist looked helpless, but found that there was nothing around him to wipe his hands with.
Seeing this, Nan Yu quickly handed over a handkerchief, "Taoist Priest, if you don't mind, please use this to wipe your hands."
The young Taoist took it with a smile, "The little girl is nice and has a kind heart. She will definitely make a fortune in the future."
"Then I'd like to thank Daochang Jiyan first."
After wiping his hands, Bai Gu was willing to hand the yellow talisman to the young Taoist, "Be careful, don't break it."
The young Taoist curled his lips, glanced at the yellow talisman, and his face became a little frozen. He raised his head and looked at Bai Gu, "Are you sure you are asking for these four prophecies and you didn't secretly change them?"
"I only have this one in my hand, what do you think? Hey, let me tell you, can't you figure it out and are you deliberately looking for trouble? If you can't figure it out, just give it back to me and stop bragging in the future." Bai Gu frowned a little. Impatient, he reached out and snatched the yellow talisman back.
The young Taoist suddenly sighed, "Let's not talk about the bragging of the poor Taoist. Just talk about the four prophecies written on the yellow talisman. Anyone who has read a little can understand what they mean, right?"
"I haven't read the book, so I can't understand it!" Bai Gu turned his head, feeling inexplicably angry.
"You have a bright mind, and you have seen and heard a lot of things. The old guy also said that you like to listen to Mr. Tang's storytelling from the Ant Hall, so you know a lot of things..."
"That's enough! Stop talking!" Bai Gu glared at the young Taoist, his eyes full of anger, "If you can't solve it, you can't solve it. Why are you talking about so much useless stuff! What are you capable of, you idiot? None, I just use this mouth to fool around! Damn!"
The young Taoist tilted his head to avoid Bai Gu's saliva attack, but it was a pity that most of the remaining chickens on the table were dirty.
For the first time, the young Taoist did not feel sorry for the chicken, but looked at Bai Gu with a serious face, "I don't believe you can't understand the meaning of those four prophecies. You are not stupid, and I am not blind either." .”
Bai Gu's right hand on the table was holding the yellow talisman, and there was nothing unusual about it. His left hand, which was resting on his knees under the table, was now clenched into a fist, with veins popping out.
Bai Gu was shaking all over, his eyes were slightly red, as if he was enduring some pain.
After a long time, Bai Gu slowly spoke with a hoarse voice, "Is there no way to change it?"
The young Taoist shook his head, "There are some things that God's will cannot violate."
"Aren't you great? I can add money -"
Before Bai Gu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young Taoist who raised his hand, "Money is indeed a good thing, but there are still many things in the world that cannot be exchanged for money."
"Is this so..." Bai Gu seemed to have been drained of his spirit, and he was completely lost.
The young Taoist smiled bitterly, "Do you think Pindao doesn't want to do something for Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao is such a good girl. She is well-behaved, cute, and sensible. She is much better than you. You really don't know what you accumulated in your previous life. De, you can let such a good little girl be your sister. Pindao can't bear to see Xiaoxiao suffering like this at such an old age. Besides, before the old guy left Yunshui City, he specifically told Pindao to take good care of you brothers and sisters. Two. As long as there is some way, Pindao will not do it? "
The young Taoist paused for a moment, "Asking for fortune-telling and asking for fortune-telling is to steal heaven's secrets. The person who asks for fortune-telling bears the cause and effect, and the one who interprets the fortune-telling bears the punishment of heaven. These are all normal things. Once you know the heaven's secret and deal with the cause and effect quickly, heaven's law can still If you turn a blind eye, you will not pursue too much. But if you want to tamper with the secrets of heaven, then sorry, there will be no good end. Even those strong men who can turn clouds and rain, and make the world fall apart with every move they make, will not dare to do this. , with this thought, what’s more, Pindao is just a little Taoist priest? So...you should just follow the destiny and do your best."
Bai Gu closed his eyes and was silent for a while.
He took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his arms and pushed it to the young Taoist, "Thank you."
The young Taoist looked at the silver ingot and surprisingly did not accept it. He just pushed it back and said, "You will not be rewarded for your merits and failed to help Xiaoxiao. The poor Taoist cannot afford this silver ingot."
Bai Gu didn't speak, he just stood up silently and left.
Nan Yu looked at Bai Gu and then at the young Taoist, feeling at a loss.
The young Taoist waved his hand, "Let's go and comfort him. He should be in a bad mood now."
Nan Yu nodded quickly, stood up and said a blessing, "Taoist Master, Nan Yu will leave first."
The young Taoist smiled. The maids under Mr. Wu were quite well educated.
Nan Yu caught up with Bai Gu on the opposite side of the hotel. She patted his shoulder gently, "Bai Gu, are you okay?"
Bai Gu tried his best to put on a smile, but the smile turned out to be uglier than crying, "I'm fine, but I may not be able to continue visiting the temple fair with you, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay. The temple fair is not just today. You can visit other times as well. There is no shortage of today." Nan Yu waved his hands quickly.
Bai Gu sighed, "There will be a temple fair tomorrow, let's go shopping tomorrow, just to make up for today's vacancy."
"Okay, okay, then we can go meet there directly at noon tomorrow. I have to sleep in and get up again tomorrow morning." Nan Yu grinned, his round face full of joy.
Suddenly he forgot that he was here to comfort Bai Gu.
Bai Gu nodded, "See you at noon tomorrow."
"See you there or not!"
Bai Gu stood there, watching Nan Yu go home.
Nan Yu turned around and waved to Bai Gu, then turned around and ran away with a smile.
Bai Gu's back was facing the sun, his whole face was in shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly. But he reached out and waved in return.
The yellow talisman in Bai Gu's hand was blown by the cold wind, and the cinnabar and red characters on it looked particularly eye-catching in the snow.
The water flowing from the west to the east has wandered since then, and it should not go in the opposite direction.
It is necessary to clear up the chaos and return home, and start over again when the sun sets.
