When I got closer, I realized that this was not a residential house, but an ancient temple on the roadside. It looked like it had been built for many years, the courtyard walls were dilapidated, and the courtyard door was even more mottled. // Welcome to Reading //. In
There was a plaque hanging above the courtyard gate, with the words "Ci'en Temple" written in faded gold paint. Inside the ancient temple, fire came out, making the surrounding area red.
"Ci'en Temple..." Zhao Zheng muttered in a low voice. After recalling it carefully, he found that he had no impression of this name. It shouldn't be a special place.
It's not that the special place is just for shelter from the rain. If it's a hiding place for a martial artist or a bandit, it would be inconvenient to break into it.
"Drive!" Zhao Zheng urged the reins. The two horses in front raised their necks and moved forward. Their feet fell into the muddy water, splashing mud spots everywhere.
The carriage stopped at the door, and Zhao Zheng shouted loudly into the courtyard: "I am a passerby. It is raining heavily outside. I want to take shelter from the rain. Is it convenient?"
"This temple is too old and there are no monks living there anymore. We are all passers-by and come here to take shelter from the rain. You are welcome. The door is unlocked. If you want to come in, just come in by yourself." A rough voice in the courtyard responded.
"Thank you, I really bother you all." Zhao Zheng thanked him, got off his horse, stepped into the muddy water, reached out and opened the courtyard door, and led the carriage into the courtyard.
The courtyard was full of potholes and water accumulated in many places. Raindrops fell on the water, creating circles of ripples. On one side of the courtyard wall, there were two carriages parked, with no one knew what kind of cargo they were pulling. On the cargo boxes, there were also
Xiaoqi, it looks like a escort car.
There are three ways to perform darts in the bureau, one is the mighty dart, the other is the benevolent dart, and the other is the stealing dart. You use the mighty dart, raise the flag, beat the gongs and drums, shout the escort number, and use
The name of the escort agency scares thieves along the way. When taking the Renyi escort, the flag is lowered to half-mast and slogans are shouted, but it is no longer so flamboyant. The last type of escort stealing is more low-key, without raising the escort agency flag, let alone shouting slogans, and pulling the goods
Move forward quietly, without disturbing the thieves along the way.
Most of the escort agencies that choose sneak escorts are small and unknown escort agencies. They just want peace and safety.
Most martial arts people are generous and forthright, but Zhao Zheng is happy to deal with such people, and he can chat with them while taking shelter from the rain.
Zhao Zheng led his carriage to another wall and parked it, and tied the reins to a pillar. It rained heavily, and the two horses were soaked, and their soft manes clung to their long necks.
Above. There is dripping water, and it looks pitiful. It's a pity that it's inconvenient here, otherwise the horses can be taken back to the stables and warehouses to avoid getting wet.
At this time, Xu Ruyi poked her head out of the carriage. When she saw that the carriage had stopped inside the temple, she immediately opened the door. She jumped out and turned against the wall into the glowing house, leaving Zhao Zheng behind.
Zhao Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and continued to tidy up the carriage. After packing everything, he went inside despite the rain.
This is a palace that has been in disrepair due to years of disrepair, rain leaks from above, and wind leaks from the sides. Inside the palace, there are two groups of people sitting around, one group is dressed as a warrior, and the other group is ordinary people.
Dressed up. There were seven people in the group dressed as warriors, who looked like escorts escorting two escort cars. Dressed up as ordinary people. There were fewer people in total, there were two of them, an old blind man and a young man.
Scholar. A fire was lit in front of each group, and the flames were burning on a pile of dry wood, emitting heat.
Two groups of people, two fires, clearly distinguishable.
Xu Ru was aware of the current affairs and sat beside the fire with a small number of people, playing with his hair that was wet with water.
Zhao Zheng stood at the door, glanced around the crowd, and was surprised to find a familiar face among them.
The old blind man sitting next to the fire is not an ordinary person, but a very famous fortune teller in "Jingma Jianghu", nicknamed "Blind Immortal", who is proficient in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Zhouyi, and his hexagram predictions are extremely accurate.
.. In the game, players can ask him to divine their fortune. If their luck is good, everything will be smooth sailing. If their luck is bad, they will have bad luck everywhere. Some players will stop after calculating that their luck is not good.
Rest for a few days and wait until your fortune changes before continuing to play.
The Blind Immortal is a maverick and has a very strange way of collecting fees. The first time he only charges one tael of silver, the second time he asks for fortune telling, the fee will double to two taels of silver, and so on.
After too many times, his charges will become extremely expensive and no one can afford it.
In the past, Zhao Zheng had sought out the blind immortal to calculate his fortune many times. Now in another time and space, he met him by chance and had a different feeling.
Zhao Zheng recognized the Blind Immortal, but the Blind Immortal did not recognize him. Even if he recognized the other person's identity, he could only pretend not to know him.
Except for the Blind Immortal, Zhao Zheng didn't recognize the rest of the people. He raised his fists at everyone, said "excuse me", walked to Xu Ruyi's side, sat down and baked clothes by the fire. Not long after the heat started to build up,
Wisps of white air immediately rose from his body, and his soaked and cold clothes became much warmer.
The two groups of people in the main hall were doing different things while warming themselves up by the fire. A group of escorts were drinking and chatting, telling anecdotes and dirty jokes. They were watching with their heads down, ignoring the people around them. The blind god was sitting there.
The ground stood still, as if in trance.
Zhao Zheng had also heard a lot of anecdotes about the world, and chatted a few times with the group of escorts. When he saw that the topics of the escorts became more and more obscene, he stopped chatting with them. It was not that he claimed to be aloof.
, it’s just that there are female companions around, so it’s not convenient to talk about too obscene topics. If a room is full of men, why not talk about these things? He is not a stickler for trivial matters.
With nothing to do, Zhao Zheng took a close look at the blind fairy opposite him. This man's appearance was quite strange. His blind eyes formed two tangled lumps of flesh, protruding from the eye sockets. They looked like the eyes of a goldfish. On his face
It is full of traces left by years of wind and frost, with ravines and wrinkles. On both sides of the temples, there is a strand of white hair hanging down, with an air of fairy style and elegance. There is a package on the back, and there is a small flag beside it.
, written in black letters on it are the four words "Iron mouth cuts straight off".
The Blind Immortal is obviously a fortune teller, and I don’t know why the people around him didn’t ask him to tell their fortunes. Maybe everyone had already asked him to tell their fortunes before Zhao Zheng came, or maybe everyone disliked that the fee of one tael of silver was too expensive.
Others don't know the details of the Blind Immortal, but Zhao Zheng knows very well that one tael of silver counts as a fortune. But it is a good deal. He has ambitious goals for this trip and an uncertain future, so he needs some guidance.
"Little brother, you've been staring at me, are you trying to figure out a hexagram?" I didn't expect it. Before Zhao Zheng could speak, the blind god spoke first, and revealed Zhao Zheng's purpose in one sentence.
"You are blind, how do you know I am looking at you?" Zhao Zheng said in astonishment.
"Although I don't have physical eyes, I do have the eyes of the mind, and the eyes of the mind can see more clearly than the eyes of the mind."
"Is there really such a thing as a person in this world?"
"Of course."
"Then let me test you." Zhao Zheng reached into his sleeve. After groping for a while, he took out a piece of broken silver and spread it on his hand. "You should take a closer look to see what I have in my hand."
"If the old blind man can see it, can you give this thing to me?" the blind god asked with a smile.
"No problem." Zhao Zheng agreed readily.
"This is a piece of broken silver. It weighs about three taels." The blind fairy said confidently...
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhao Zheng, but also everyone around him was a little surprised. Xu Ruyi opened his eyes wide, and the escorts also stopped talking and stretched their necks.
"It seems that the old blind man guessed it right. According to the agreement, this piece of silver is mine." The blind god smiled, accurately grabbed the piece of silver in Zhao Zheng's hand, and put it into his arms.
Zhao Zheng didn't take this small amount of money seriously, but found it quite interesting.
Xu Ruyi muttered from the side: "How can a blind man see things? He must not be blind. Those old eyes are just sarcomas."
Others also thought this was the case, some nodded, and some agreed.
The blind god didn't take it seriously. He didn't explain. Instead, he twirled his white hair at the temples and said with a smile: "Little brother, I didn't take your money in vain. I just did a fortune telling for you. You gave me three taels in total."
Silver. According to my charging standard, you can divine twice. I will divine one fortune for you this time, and I will divine the second fortune for you next time I see you. What do you think?"
"I think it's okay." Zhao Zheng nodded.
"That's it for the old blind man. Wait a minute, little brother. I will divine your destiny for you." The blind god took out three copper coins from his body. They were round on the outside and square on the inside. The words "Pu Qing Tong Bao" were written on the back. The back was empty.
It is the copper coin currently in circulation in Dayan Kingdom.
The blind fairy spread the copper coins in the palm of his hand, showed it to Zhao Zheng, and then threw it up high. The copper coins kept spinning in the air and fell one after another. The blind fairy didn't even raise his head, stretched out his hand and grabbed all three copper coins.
In the hand, spread out again, the front and back of the three copper coins have changed. Based on this change, eighty-eight sixty-four different hexagrams can be divined.
This unique skill was so beautiful that the group of escorts cheered together when they saw it.
A total of six hexagrams are needed for divination. The blind god threw the copper coin again and caught it again. He repeated it six times and got the final result. The sixty-four hexagrams are so profound and profound that ordinary people can't see why they happen. Only he himself knows it.
"It would be inaccurate to be ambiguous. Little brother, it is better to divine something alone. Do you want to divine the future and fortune, or do you want to divine the marriage of a man and a woman?" asked the blind god.
"Divining the marriage of men and women." Xu Ruyi interrupted first.
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Zhao Zheng glared at Xu Ruyi, "I want to divine the future."
"Alas," the Blind Immortal sighed first and shook his head, "If you want to predict your future fortune, then this hexagram is not very good. This hexagram is called 'Wind and Sky Little Animal', and the line is the place where it rains.
If a woman is virtuous, she will be chaste and strong. When the moon is in sight, a gentleman will be in danger. This means that the rain will not stop and the virtue will be clouded by the yin energy. If you are a woman, you must stick to your feminine ways and beware of danger. If you are a gentleman, you will encounter danger when you go out for a long journey.
There will be a bloody disaster. The old blind man advises you to go home quickly. If you go any further, you will definitely encounter misfortune."
Zhao Zheng was shocked by this hexagram. He did not expect that his luck would be so bad next.
But think about it, this trip is to seize the Zichu Sword, and it will inevitably create many enemies and lead to bloody battles with them. Even a bloody disaster is inevitable.
He has a firm goal and is determined not to be scared away by a mere evil hexagram. However, if there is a way to resolve it, he is willing to spend some money for peace of mind.
"Old sir, I wonder if you have any solution for my trouble?" Zhao Zheng asked tentatively.
"Those swindlers always use the pretext of eliminating disasters and solving problems to defraud believers out of money. In fact, fate is determined. How can it be so easy to change? The old blind man can only tell fortunes, but he can't change his destiny. If you
If you want to stay safe, you can only go back the same way as I said. Don't take another step forward." After finishing speaking, the blind god stood up, dusted off the dust, and grabbed his little flag in his hand, "You must know how to be a human being.
Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. You have suffered a bloody disaster and I can no longer stay with you. You can take care of yourself and I will take my leave."
After saying that, the Blind Immortal walked out of the hall without looking back, and left in the rain, not stopping no matter how the people behind him shouted.
There was something strange about the whole incident. After the blind god left, everyone looked at Zhao Zheng with strange eyes, as if he was a god of plague. The scholar who seemed to be the least likely to believe in evil even moved aside.
He moved his body, as if he wanted to stay away from Zhao Zheng to avoid any bad luck.
"What the old blind man said is quite mysterious. It seems that I really have to leave you quickly to avoid being implicated by you." Xu Ruyi glanced at Zhao Zheng and teased.
"I'm just happy that you're gone." Zhao Zheng said dryly. Being treated so miserably by the blind god made him feel very awkward. If he had known this, he might as well have stopped divination, why bother making himself so uncomfortable?
The little disturbance passed. After a while, everyone forgot about it and continued to do their own things. The rain outside became much lighter, and it seemed that they would be able to continue on the road in a while. But it was already approaching the afternoon.
Even if you hurry, you can't go far.
"Pa bang bang..."
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the rain. From far to near, it seemed that another passerby came to take shelter from the rain.
Zhao Zheng's clothes had basically been dried, leaving only his back still wet. He was facing the fire, baking his back. He heard the sound of horse hooves. But he couldn't turn around, so he didn't rush to see who was in front of him.
Come and take shelter from the rain.
"Excuse me." After the man entered the hall, he said hello lightly and sat next to the fire, facing Zhao Zheng's back.
Zhao Zheng frowned, the voice was so familiar, it seemed like it was someone he knew.
"Damn weather, why did it suddenly start raining? What a mistake." The man who came in later complained, his tone cold.
Zhao Zheng finally understood the person's voice this time and judged his identity.
It’s actually the little sword demon Mo Yunzi!
Zhao Zheng secretly thought that the enemy's road was narrow and they met him here. The sky was so big that the two of them came together again and rushed to a shelter from the rain.
The two have an old grudge, and their hatred is not shallow. As long as they meet, it will definitely trigger a bloody battle.
The Blind Immortal just said that he was in danger of a bloody disaster, but he didn't expect that this disaster would come so soon!
In terms of strength, Zhao Zheng is half as good as Mo Yunzi, and he can't fight head-on. He is facing away from Mo Yunzi now, and the other party hasn't recognized him yet, so he might still have a chance to escape. He rolled his eyes,
Instead of turning around rashly, he cleared his throat and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, the rain is about to stop. We have important things to do, so we'd better get on the road quickly."
This was meant for Xu Ruyi. This woman was a ghost. When she heard Zhao Zheng pretending to be someone else's voice and saying something strange, she immediately noticed something was wrong and followed what Zhao Zheng said and said, "Okay,
It’s all up to you. If you say you want to go on the road, go on the road.”
Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xu Ruyi didn't spill the beans. He didn't turn around. He continued to turn his back to Mo Yunzi and walked diagonally around the door.
It was still raining outside, and the group of bodyguards tried to persuade Zhao Zheng to stay. Zhao Zheng did not say anything, but waved his hands and walked quickly to the palace gate. Xu Ruyi realized that Zhao was avoiding the new man, and immediately followed him
Zhao Zheng was behind, for fear of getting into trouble.
Zhao Zheng heard it right. The new person who came in was Mo Yunzi, whom he had not seen for many days. After many days, Mo Yunzi's injuries had long been healed and he was now back to his full strength. At this time, he was sitting on the fire
In front of the pile, a set of damp clothes was baking. When Zhao Zheng passed by him, he suddenly felt that the figure on the back looked familiar. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Zheng's back.
Mo Yunzi glanced around Zhao Zheng and suddenly recognized the Life Sword hanging on Zhao Zheng's waist. This was Zhao Zheng's signature.
"Zhao Zheng, stop!" Mo Yunzi shouted coldly, his voice like a sharp sword cutting ice, "This is really a narrow road for enemies, and I met you here. Today I must avenge the blood revenge of that day.
You were cut into pieces!"
Zhao Zheng was struck by lightning and cursed secretly. After all, he still couldn't escape the disaster. At this point, there is no way to escape, the only way is to fight!
"Good sister, this is an enemy of mine in the past. The bloody disaster that the fortune teller mentioned should be him. Today we, brother and sister, will work together to get rid of him and save me from future troubles. Afterwards, my brother will invite you to the restaurant to have a good time.
Give it a try." Zhao Zheng's words tied Xu Ruyi and him together. He was a little behind Mo Yunzi. With Xu Ruyi's help, he could just make up for this gap.
Zhao Zheng said as he drew out his sword, took a step across and blocked the door, blocking Xu Ruyi's way and forcing Xu Ruyi to take action for him.
"The ghost is your sister who is being taken advantage of!" Xu Ruyi suddenly changed her color, took a step back, and explained to Mo Yunzi, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I am just his hostage, not his sister. Counting it all,
I also have a grudge against him, and if you are willing, I can help you deal with him."
"Good sister, why are you still joking at this time? This person is very powerful. Don't underestimate him. You have to be energetic." Zhao Zheng said that he was a good sister, and he called her affectionate.
"I'm not your sister! Don't get close to me, I have nothing to do with you." Xu Ruyi took a step back again, for fear of getting into trouble. The new person who came in was not an easy person at first glance.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bodyguards exchanged glances and retreated to the wall, holding onto their weapons tightly. As for the scholar, he was so frightened that he hid under the table and trembled.
Mo Yunzi slowly pulled out the Lengfeng Sword, glanced at Zhao Zheng and Xu Ruyi, and said coldly: "You brothers and sisters will all die here today."
"Damn you, you big-headed ghost! Do you have something wrong with your ears? Didn't I just say that he and I are not brother and sister? I don't want to wade into this muddy water!" Xu Ruyi tried her best to defend herself.
"I don't care if you are his sister or not, as long as you are someone who has something to do with him, I will not let him go!" Mo Yunzi sharpened his sword and pointed it directly at Zhao Zheng's face, and a burst of internal energy spurted out.
, the corners of his clothes shook, and the fire next to him was almost extinguished.
When Zhao Zheng heard what Mo Yunzi said, he had another plan in mind. He simply pulled the group of bodyguards in and shouted loudly at the group of bodyguards: "Brothers, come with me and chop these people up with knives."
Hey!" If you include this group of bodyguards, you can almost defeat Mo Yunzi, but that group of bodyguards will be a bit more dangerous.
When the escorts heard this, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood. They cursed in their hearts: "This kid looks harmless to humans and animals, but he behaves with bad intentions. When he met his enemy, he actually wanted to drag us into the water together.
It’s really bad to act as a shield for him!”
"We are not your brothers!!!" the escorts shouted angrily.
Mo Yunzi also saw that Zhao was playing rogue, snorted coldly, thrust out his sword, and went straight to Zhao's front door. The sword light turned into a white light, like a white dragon emerging from the water. (To be continued. If you like this movie,
