Upon hearing this, Lin Ji couldn't help but shrink back.
Okay, wait for me here!
No more, no less, exactly half a million.
They are all here for the little money in my hand!
No, I haven’t received the money yet!
"It is said that you recently made an income of 500,000 yuan crystals. I..." Fang Yunshan rubbed his hands in an extremely rare manner.
"Who said that?"
"Tianji!" Fang Yunshan sold Tianji without hesitation.
"But who would have thought that you are getting married again, which is the time to spend money. Presumably, this money is going to be used as a betrothal gift, right? I..."
Lin Ji never thought that Fang Yunshan, who had always been decisive and straightforward, would be so hesitant and embarrassed when it came to money.
"I'll lend it to you," Lin Ji said generously.
"Ah?" Fang Yunshan thought he heard it wrong, and then said with a serious face, "That won't work! What about your betrothal gift? Marriage is a big event, and there should be no delay. I will think of other ways."
"No need." Lin Ji insisted, "I have already prepared the betrothal gift. You can take away the five hundred thousand cloud crystals at any time, but... Taoist brother, we have agreed, I will lend this to you!"
Fang Yunshan smiled openly and said: "That's natural! I owe you a favor, and I must repay you double!"
As he said that, he took out a round jade pendant from his sleeve and said: "I came in a hurry, and I was not prepared. This Dragon Power Jade can reach the peak of Taoism and hit hard. It is a little bit of my heart. I will make it up to you in the future... What a generous gift!”
"Thank you, Brother Dao!" Lin Ji didn't shy away and reached out to take it.
At this moment, Tianji opened the door and walked in.
He took out a half-green and half-red fruit from his pocket, and as if he was afraid that the two of them would snatch it, he took a bite first and then said slowly: "Getting married is a big thing, and making a sword is also a big thing. For such a big thing, do you want me?" Calculate a hexagram for the two of you?"
Lin Ji smiled and said: "You were just a storyteller, and now you are telling fortunes. You are an all-rounder. Even if you lose your cultivation, you can beg for food wherever you want. You will not go around scheming and being a bastard."
Tianji rolled his eyes at Lin Ji and said, "What you earn is what you deserve, and what you mess up with others is cause and effect. How can it be the same?"
Fang Yunshan was in a good mood after borrowing the money, and he smiled and said: "Okay, you can do the math and see what causes and consequences I will have after the sword is completed."
Tianji took a few bites, held the fruit core in his hand and said, "Just now both of us mentioned the word "fruit", and Lin Ji follows the path of cause and effect, so I will use this fruit core as a guide. Let’s take a guess!”
With that said, Tianji raised his hand and threw it away.
The core fell to the ground and rolled with a clanking sound until it stopped in front of the window.
"Hoard in winter and store in autumn, and the buds will grow when spring comes!"
As Tianji sang, several roots stretched out from the fruit core and grew into the cracks in the corner of the wall, and several buds poked out one after another.
"Rain and shine, Ye Zhanhuana!"
The buds on the core swayed in the wind, rising up to the top of the roof, with lush branches and leaves, and flowers blooming in disorder.
"The way of swordsmanship is cause and effect, God cares about you and me!"
After another chant, the flowers fell and the fruits began to bloom. The red and heavy flowers fell all over the branches, and the fragrance overflowed.
Lin Ji couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Tianji's move turning into fruit out of thin air.
He had seen Song Cang's dream-entering technique and Li Nan's phantom pictures before, and they were all capable of confusing each other in their own way.
But after knowing Tianji for so long, apart from knowing that this young-looking old guy can do divination and calculation, I have never seen him show any magical powers.
He turned to look at Fang Yunshan, and sure enough, a strange color flashed in Fang Yunshan's eyes.
It seems that this is also the first time for him to meet.
"Well, not bad!" Lin Ji praised, "It seems that in addition to telling stories and telling fortunes, you also have a magic trick. This bastard does have a lot of skills."
Tianji didn't bother with this, and said with an extremely serious look on his face: "You two can pick any fruit at will, but you can only pick one!"
"Okay!" Fang Yunshan moved slightly. He didn't see how he got up or came back, but there was already the reddest and largest fruit in his hand.
"What do you say?" Fang Yunshan asked, shaking the fruit.
"The sky is bright and red, and the branches are taller than the tail." Tianji said word by word.
Fang Yunshan frowned: "Don't use mysteries, just talk!"
Tianji pointed at the fruit tree and said: "The one you have is the reddest and largest on the tree, but it is also the easiest to pick. This branch is also the highest, but the fruit is the heaviest and the one that is pressed the lowest."
"That is to say, you will reach the top of the sword in the future without anyone else, but you will fall into the bottom because of too many causes and effects. After you put it down, you will rise to the top again."
After saying that, Tianji pointed to the branch that had been stretched into the hollow of the roof after losing the fruit and said: "Even where that branch is, it is difficult for Heaven to find out!"
"The so-called Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, people can escape one of them, and you are the one!"
If these words came from someone else, Fang Yunshan would naturally not care.
But what came from Tianji's mouth made him think deeply, and he frowned slightly and remained silent for a while.
"It's your turn." Tianji turned to Lin Ji and said.
Lin Ji didn't think much, walked to the tree and picked one at random.
But before he could turn around, he saw that the tree full of fruits withered instantly, and all the branches and leaves turned from green to yellow, falling to the ground one after another. Then even the branches peeled off and rotted, turning into fly ash.
In this short moment, it seems like a hundred years have passed from spring to autumn, from birth to death!
Now not only Lin Ji, but also Fang Yunshan, who was slightly frowning, felt something was wrong and asked first, "What do you mean?"
Tianji pointed at Lin Ji's hand, his expression changed drastically and he said, "He... what he is holding is the core of the fruit I just planted!"
Lin Ji took a look and saw that there was no other fruit in his hand. Instead, it was a wet fruit core, with Tianji's teeth marks still on it.
I felt disgusted for a moment and threw it away.
This time, Tianji's face became even more ugly, with his mouth wide open and his eyes staring, silent for a long time!
"What happened to the core? Tell me!" Fang Yunshan asked anxiously.
"Say...I can't say it!"
Tianji suppressed his blush and shook his head repeatedly.
Then, as if he remembered something, he saluted the two of them and said, "You two, I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step!"
】
As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"It's boring!" Fang Yunshan lost interest and waved his sleeves and said, "It's getting late, so I'll leave first. I'll come back for your wedding banquet in three days!"
"Okay!" Lin Ji responded, "Brother Taoist, walk slowly."
After the two left, Lin Ji glanced at the corner where nothing had just disappeared. A trace of confusion flashed in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention.
Even if he didn't tell the secret, he wouldn't be able to guess it.
Anyway, when it was time to say it, he naturally said it.
Lin Ji had long been accustomed to this guy's riddle persona.
In the battle in Weicheng, both physical strength and spiritual energy were depleted.
I practiced cross-legged and closed my eyes all night, and felt much better.
It was noon when he opened his eyes again. Lin Ji left the inn and was about to look for food when he saw a familiar-looking member of the Lu family running towards him.
"Senior, the eldest lady asked me to send a message that Lu Cong is awake and asked if you would like to go over and take a look."
"Walk!"
