Duan Qe, who was unusually tall and tall, stood on a street with a sad face.
Although Bai Gu asked him to come to Yunshui City to visit Mr. Wu from Changzhou Pharmacy and Taoist Qiu from a fortune-telling stall in the south of the city, Bai Gu knew them and just mentioned his name.
But how could Duan Qie dare to act rashly?
Mr. Wu, that is a person that even the mountain owner of Fangyuan Mountain may not be able to meet. How can he, a little traveler, just want to meet him?
Even if it is in the name of Brother Bai, what reason should I use to visit him?
If you really meet the legendary Mr. Wu, what should you say? You can't finally meet me, and then the two of you just sit there, talking about nothing, staring at each other?
It's better not to see him, so as not to make things difficult for Brother Bai. When he returns to Yunshui City in the future, if Mr. Wu mentions this matter, it will be difficult for Mr. Bai to explain.
Forget it, Mr. Wu is gone. I don’t deserve it.
As for the Taoist priest Bai Laodi mentioned, you can pay him a visit. After all, going to Yumi Mountain to support him this time and checking the information should not be a trivial matter. Having a Taoist master predict the last hexagram can make you feel more at ease.
Of course, as long as the hexagram is not too bad, there is no need to be too upset.
Duan Qie wandered around the city for several times and finally came to a small stall in the afternoon.
The stall is set up under a big locust tree, with a small table covered with yellow cloth. On the table are a bamboo tube, a stack of red paper, and a small writing brush. Next to it is a cloth flag. , with the four characters "Ask for divination and fortune-telling, be happy and know your destiny".
The owner of the stall is a young and thin Taoist priest, wearing a gray-blue Taoist robe and a mustache. His eyes seem to be reading the Taoist book in his hand very seriously, but out of the corner of his eye, he follows the plump breasts of women and girls on the street. The graceful waist is swaying in all directions, overwhelmed.
Duan Qie stopped a passer-by again and confirmed that the... unspectacular Taoist priest in front of him was Taoist Qiu from the fortune-telling stall in the south of the city that Bai Gu had mentioned. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Are the people you know like Brother Bai all looking this thin?
Although Taoist priests are generally very thin, with the reputation of being immortal and with fair hair and childlike appearance, the person in front of me... looks a bit casual, right?
But at least it was recommended by Brother Bai kindly, so I’d better give it a try.
Maybe like Brother Bai, gold and jade are wrapped in mud!
Qiu Zizai was looking at the graceful waist of a plump woman with his peripheral vision. His eyes almost dropped to the ground. He had no idea that the Taoist book in his hand had been held upside down.
Then Qiu Zizai felt that it was dark in front of him, and there was a muscular man sitting in front of his fortune-telling stall. When he sat down, the chair that was in disrepair suddenly let out an overwhelmed scream.
Qiu Zizai's heart tightened.
Pindao's chair, I've been with you for so long, I thought you would die in peace, but I didn't expect you to pass away so soon, Pindao can't bear to leave you!
But Qiu Zizai still had that smile on his face, "I wonder what this strong man is looking for? Is it for marriage? Money? Or official career?"
Duan Qie thought about it in his mind and drafted what he wanted to say and ask, "Taoist Master Qiu, I'm a rough guy. I don't know the rules very well and I didn't bring anything with me. It was Brother Bai who called me here and said I can just ask you for a signature and ask questions."
Qiu Zi looked puzzled, "Huh? Who is it? What is Brother Bai? Do you know me?"
"Brother Bai said his name is Bai Gu, just mention his name."
"It turns out he is Xiaobai Gu's friend. You should have told me earlier that we are all brothers. Relax." Qiu Zizai smiled. Xiaobai Gu was so considerate. He was so considerate of Pindao even though he was traveling far away. Deliver it to Pindao's doorstep.
How embarrassing!
On the surface, he is at odds with Pindao, but in his heart, he still favors Pindao. This is really a disgrace to his integrity!
Duan Qie took out a white snow stone from his sleeve and put it on the table, "I'm going to Yumi Mountain this time, so I want to ask the Taoist priest for a fortune sign to get a good sign."
Qiu Zizai glanced at the white snow stone on the table and smiled, "Are you a traveler from Fangyuan Mountain? It's very hard. Come, come, have a cup of tea and take a rest."
With that said, Qiu Zizai took out a tea set out of thin air and poured Duan Qie a cup of tea.
Duan Qie was flattered and quickly took it with both hands, unaware that the tea was boiling hot, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for the tea."
The tea soup is dark and fragrant, with a sweet smell and taste. It is wolfberry tea.
Still using black wolfberry.
Duan Qie's eyes were strange. Is this Taoist okay with this?
Qiu Zizai looked at the thick calluses on Duan Qie's hands and said with his tongue: "It seems that the work of a traveler is not easy to do. It's freezing cold, the sun is scorching, the wind blows and rains, and the stars catch up with the moon. There are only a few days all year round." have time."
"The Taoist priest is serious. The traveler's job is to travel through mountains and rivers, and I also like to walk around, so it's not that hard, but it's very happy!"
Duan Qie was a little surprised. The ordinary-looking Taoist Qiu in front of him could actually see through his identity as a traveler at a glance. You really can't judge a book by its appearance!
But yes, Brother Bai is a master disciple of Sword Immortal. How can the people he knows be short-sighted?
That must be an expert who has seen the world and has some skills!
Qiu Zizai pushed the bamboo tube with countless bamboo sticks in front of Duan Qie, and there was a prophecy written on each bamboo stick, "Shake one, for Xiao Bai Gu's sake, Pindao will give you some guidance." "
Duan Qie put down the tea cup and held the bamboo tube with one big hand. But as if he didn't feel sincere, he held the bamboo tube with the other hand.
Qiu Zizai glanced at it and twitched the corner of his mouth.
What did this guy grow up eating? He looks so fierce, can't he let people live?
Duan Qie shook the bamboo tube twice, and a bamboo stick fell on the table.
Duan Qie put down the bamboo tube, twisted the bamboo stick with two fingers, and then held it to Qiu Zizai with both hands, "Please ask the Taoist priest to interpret the stick."
Qiu Zizai took the bamboo stick and did not immediately read the sign. Instead, he turned his eyes and began to look at the Duanqie in front of him.
Duan Qie felt a little numb when he saw Qiu Zizai, so he just took a sip of tea to relieve the tension in his heart.
Qiu Zizai suddenly smiled.
Duan Qie's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"Don't worry, Pindao means no harm." Qiu Zizai paused, "I just want to see your face first, don't be nervous."
Duan Qie nodded, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.
"Originally, he was a young pioneer who was about to become a general. First he gave up martial arts and followed literature, lived in seclusion in a corner, and became a teacher. Then he gave up his reputation as a scholar, and instead of leaving the bright future, he turned around and became a small fan. Passenger. Call you smart, you do stupid things. Call you stupid, but you have saved several lives. I really don’t know what is in your head." Qiu Zizai poured it for himself. Having a cup of tea, he said to himself.
Duan Qie was stunned for a moment.
Although Duan Qie was horrified by Dao Qing's origin, he tried his best to maintain the expression on his face, "I don't understand what the Taoist priest said."
Qiu Zizai drank several cups of wolfberry tea in one breath and laughed, "If you are not honest, it will be difficult for a poor man to interpret your signature."
Duan Che smiled a smile that wasn't too ugly, "I'm just a little boy. The Taoist priest has profound teachings and boundless power, so don't embarrass me."
"Why, haven't you ever been to other stalls to have your fortune told? Didn't you know that they would ask some questions about you when reading the fortune telling?" Qiu Zizai held the bamboo stick with two fingers and turned it around, "No It doesn’t matter if you know, Pindao has told you now, and you can answer Pindao’s questions.”
Duan Qie took another sip of the wolfberry tea and calmed down his shock, "The Taoist priest has a keen eye like a torch and can see everything clearly."
"There's no need to flatter me like this. It's useless for me, and you're uncomfortable with yourself."
Duan Che pursed his lips and was silent for a while.
Qiu Zizai stopped teasing Duan Qie. He lowered his head and glanced at the prophecy on the bamboo stick, and couldn't help but smile a little more in his eyes.
interesting.
This business is profitable.
"Yumishan, have you decided to go?"
Duan Qie took a deep breath, put his hands into fists on his knees, "It's my duty, I won't get scolded if I don't go."
"But you went there to..." Qiu Zizai wiped his neck.
Duan Qie's pupils suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief, "Taoist Master, please don't make fun of me!"
Qiu Zizai threw the bamboo stick in his hand on the table, "Pindao is only responsible for interpreting the bamboo stick, believe it or not."
Duan Qie was choked for a moment, and his face was uncertain. Finally, he had to ask tentatively: "What if I don't go?"
"Similarly, this time is your fate. You will die whether you go or not. You can't escape." Qiu Zizai blew on the tea he just poured, as if he thought of something, "By the way, Pindao will tell you again." It’s a secret, this time it’s all the retribution you’ve saved up in the past few times, all put together and revealed.”
Qiu Zizai gave Duan Qie another meaningful look, "It's not that I won't retaliate, the time has not come yet."
Duan Qie's head was covered with cold sweat, and he wiped his hands one after another.
He felt a little guilty, but he had the courage to say: "Taoist Master, save me! After all, I know Brother Bai, and Taoist Master, you also said that we are your brothers! And, at least I saved Brother Bai's life. , Taoist priest..."
Halfway through Duan Che's words, he saw Qiu Zizai staring at him with a playful look, which made Duan Che feel nervous.
"Pindao advises you to tell the truth. In Yunshui City, if you lie to me about Xiao Bai Gu, you will end up very miserable." Qiu Zizai touched the bamboo stick on the table again and glanced at it. The prophecy said, "Pindao is kindly advising you. If you think it's nothing, you can continue. Pindao won't stop you. Just remember to take the bamboo stick away when the time comes and don't spill blood on Pindao's stall."
Duan Qie suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball and became dejected, "I didn't save Brother Bai, but at least Brother Wang and I still protected Brother Bai all the way. It's just that that ghost thing is too tricky. Brother Wang has never fought together, and Brother Bai was injured by a shameless guy."
Qiu Zizai nodded, then stood up and called Duan Qie behind him, "I've met Mr. Wu."
Duan Qie suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
An old hand was placed on Duan Che's shoulder, and Mr. Wu, who was standing behind Duan Che, said with a smile: "My little friend, why don't you find a tea room to sit down and let's have a good chat?"
——————
Bai Gu was lying on the bed, feeling the spiritual power flowing in his body, staring blankly at the roof.
Complicated feelings.
There is even an urge to curse.
