The fortune teller, Old Sun, was in a hurry. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Sweat broke out on his forehead. Now he could only think of one thing - run as fast as possible. He even doubted whether he had lost his mind and dared to make calculations.
Such an incredible person.
Fortunately, noon has passed now. According to the hexagram, the old city god's calamity has ended. He is still fine now. It is probably the immortal figure who did not care about him and immediately took a deep breath. Only then did he realize that his back
Already sweaty.
"Master Sun, didn't you go to Hongdong County? Why are you back today?" Suddenly, an eager greeting came from the roadside.
"Ah... I'm going to Hongdong County, you... you are Wang Erma..." The fortune teller glared and suddenly raised his head. He was sweating profusely and turned pale in an instant.
He was clearly going south, but he unknowingly returned to Shangenzhai. Moreover, the two places were hundreds of miles apart, and depending on the weather, he had walked for up to an hour, so he shouldn't have come here...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The fortune teller turned around and ran away. But after running a few steps, he stopped with a slumped look on his face, a look of sadness on his face.
He kept his composure and asked him to come to the door "to plead guilty". Even if he ran away with his life, where could he run? If he angered the immortal, he might be crushed to death with just one finger.
Alas! It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. If you extend your head and shrink your head, it's just the same. The fortune teller gritted his teeth and walked quickly into the city.
Wang Erma at the tea stall was confused by the fortune teller's performance. He thought to himself that the immortal master was sweating profusely. Why did he look like he was hiding from debt?
One of the guests at the table put down the crude tea bowl and sneered, "Wang Er, is this the perfect immortal master you just boasted about? I think he is a liar. Now he is being chased and has nowhere to run."
!”
Wang Erma smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't dare to offend, Master Sun is a very capable person... maybe... maybe there is something urgent..."
On the other side, there was a sudden violent storm, lightning and thunder in the City God's Temple, and then it cleared up quickly. Mortals also noticed that something was wrong. In addition, the death of the old lady and the young master of the Wang family was miserable and strange, which scared everyone so much that they did not dare to stay for a long time.
.
Mrs. Li supported her mother and bowed in the direction of the City God's palace, "Qingwan, let's go too and go home early."
"Yes, grandma." Li Qingwan wanted to say something, but seeing that the old lady didn't look good, she nodded obediently.
When I left the Chenghuang Temple, I happened to meet someone from the Wang family. Wang Yuanwai, who was quite wealthy, was extremely sad at the moment. He was listening to the temple minister whispering something, nodding from time to time. There seemed to be sadness and anger in his eyes, but he did not dare to say anything.
"Thank you for the temple blessing." He cupped his hands in a bad mood, then ordered his servants to carry the pole covered with white cloth and left in a hurry.
Miao Zhu raised his head, looked at the many pilgrims, and said loudly: "Today, there are evil spirits and aliens who want to break into the city and cause trouble, but they are stopped by the City God. Originally, as long as all the pilgrims stay in the room, nothing will happen. Unfortunately, God has
It is a pity that the Wang family is destined to suffer disaster."
"Now that the evil spirits have been driven back, the power of the City God has greatly increased. In ten days, a water and land dojo will be held to determine the status of the Shinto. All pilgrims are from good families. They have believed in the City God for many years and have made continuous offerings of incense to the City God every month.
I have decreed that ten of them will be invited to participate in this water and land dojo."
When everyone heard this, they thought this was the City God's manifestation. No one wanted to miss such an opportunity. Those who originally wanted to leave immediately decided to stay. As for the danger? The temple blessings all said that the City God's display of power has eliminated all evil spirits and aliens.
To defeat them, they all believed in the prestige of the City God Temple for many years.
Mrs. Li grabbed her granddaughter's hand and said excitedly, "Qingwan, the City God has also appeared as a saint! I was infertile for many years, so I begged the City God to give birth to your father, which extended the bloodline of our Li family and preserved it.
The Li family is rich and noble. This is a great favor. Come on, let's go to the temple to pray for blessings and ask him to say a few kind words in front of the City God. I will kneel down in front of the City God and thank him for his great kindness."
Li Qingwan nodded repeatedly, but without waiting for her ancestors and grandson to come forward, she hurriedly left after saying the temple blessings, leaving only a few disciples outside to stop the surging crowd, "Pilgrims, if you are willing to stay and use vegetarian food, please
Come with us to the backyard, but the space is limited today..."
Wow——
No one listened to what they said, and everyone turned around and rushed to the backyard. Fortunately, the Li family was a family of medical merchants in the city for generations, and had a somewhat good reputation, so they occupied two positions in the crowd.
But even so, the number of people at the vegetarian table was still far exceeded. Everyone was crowded together, and no one wanted to leave.
The only thing that surprised everyone was that there was a table of vegetarian food at the side, and a temple disciple was guarding it. When someone came over, he explained in a low voice that he was waiting for a certain distinguished guest.
While everyone was discussing in low voices what they had experienced today, they kept looking curiously outside the courtyard door, secretly wondering who this distinguished guest was? It was obvious that Miao Zhu had gone to invite him in person.
The small courtyard of the chess game, under the ancient trees.
Luo Guan looked at the chessboard. He had done nothing, but now all the chess pieces on the chessboard had been turned into powder. It seemed that they were connected to some unknown cause and effect. The breath of the person who played chess before had left on it.
All of them also dissipated.
Is this to cut off the cause and effect and avoid being held accountable again? It’s really interesting!
At this moment, the temple blessing came in a hurry and saluted the people under the tree respectfully, "Greetings, sir, Suzhai is ready. Sir, please come with me." He was very excited and respectful. After receiving the message from the City God,
He has completely regarded the person in front of him as a divine figure.
What's more, that portrait was handed down more than four hundred years ago, and it is exactly the same as the gentleman in front of me, which is enough to explain everything.
Luo Guan nodded, "Okay." He did not refuse and followed Miao Zhu away, and soon came to the backyard where the vegetarian meal was placed.
In an instant, many eyes fell on him after crossing the temple. The first thought was - he is indeed an honored guest!
This was an indescribable feeling. He followed Miao Zhu and gave everyone an apologetic smile, like the breeze or the bright moon, close in front of him, yet deep and far away, untouchable.
Li Qingwan's eyes lit up, it was him!
Sure enough, this gentleman is by no means an ordinary person.
"Sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long." Luo Guan smiled and cupped his hands, and was led by Miao Zhu to sit down on the vacant seat.
He glanced around and nodded to Li Qingwan, "There is still space on the table. Miao Zhu and I can have it all to ourselves. It would be too wasteful. We might as well invite a few pilgrims to join us."
The temple's blessings kept saying yes, and Mrs. Li, Li Qingwan and other famous pilgrims were invited to this table.
The vegetarian food was cooked well. Luo Guan had not had any appetite for a long time, but he still ate quite deliciously. Sensing Li Qingwan's eyes, he smiled, and the girl's face suddenly turned red.
Mrs. Li saw everything in her eyes and said calmly, "I don't know what to call this gentleman? I'm sorry for my blindness, but I have never seen such an outstanding person like you before."
Luo Guan said: "The old lady is ridiculous. I am Luo Guan. I came here a year ago and am a sojourner."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, haven't you ever thought about staying in the city? We have the protection of the City God, so we can be considered peaceful and prosperous."
Luo Guan shook his head, "The future of a wandering person is uncertain, but he will eventually leave, I just don't know when."
Mrs. Li nodded with a smile, glanced at her granddaughter with her head lowered, and said no more.
Seeing the gentle attitude of this distinguished guest, the others boldly asked a few questions, and Luo Guan answered them one by one. Until someone mentioned the violent storm just now, everyone's eyes suddenly turned over.
Luo Guan said calmly: "Everything is as the temple blessing said. The demons and monsters are secretly coveting you, but now they have all been killed. In the future, there will be a city god sitting in charge, so you can rest assured."
Although everyone did not know his identity, they felt even more relieved when they saw that Mr. Luo, an extraordinary man, was exactly what the temple Zhu said.
Soon, after having a vegetarian meal, they invited temple blessings one after another, and after speaking kindly in front of the City God, they stood up and left.
Li Qingwan came over and whispered: "Mr. Luo, aren't you leaving?"
Luo Guan nodded, "Waiting for someone."
"Isn't Xuansheng the one who has been waiting for you?"
"It's another one."
Seeing that her grandma was walking out, Li Qingwan bit her lips and spoke faster, "Mr. Luo, will you be in the city soon?"
Luo Guanru said truthfully: "We're not sure yet."
"Okay... then Mr. Luo, goodbye." Li Qingwan's eyes dimmed, she saluted Luo Guan and quickly chased after him.
After everyone dispersed, Miao Zhu came over and saluted respectfully, "Sir, would you like to prepare a room for you to take a rest?"
Luo Guan thought for a while and said: "Just the small courtyard where the chess game is played. I'll take a short rest. If anyone comes to see me, just bring him."
Miao Zhu nodded quickly and ordered two disciples who were quick and agile to prepare clean bedding, tea utensils, etc. for the gentleman.
After a while, Luo Guan came to the small courtyard, went in and lay down on the bed with all his clothes on. He smelled the smell of the sun in the dry bedding. He felt a little tired for a moment, so he closed his eyes and took a nap.
He hadn't really fallen asleep for a long time. This time he fell asleep and met someone he knew. The dream owner couldn't wait and broke into his dream, "Luo Guan! I'm in big trouble. If you can get out, go find me here!"
"
Leaving behind a mass of soul marks, she came and went in a hurry and disappeared directly.
Um?!
Luo Guan frowned slightly and woke up from his sleep. This was the first time he saw the panicked look of the dream master. Who could threaten this mysterious existence?
Just as I was thinking about it, footsteps came from the courtyard, followed by the respectful voice of the temple, "Sir, there is a guest coming to visit."
At this time, he looked at the fortune teller standing outside the courtyard, his face slightly pale and showing anxiety, and his expression was particularly solemn. Miao Zhu had seen Lao Sun's methods before, and he was indeed worthy of being called an expert. He had lived here before.
For more than half a month, the two of them became friends by making tea and playing chess.
But a friend is a friend, and he can be called by the gentleman. Miao Zhu does not dare to have the slightest thought, let alone say a word. As soon as the fortune teller arrives, he is surprised and brings people over in a hurry.
Squeak——
The door was pushed open from the inside and Luo Guan stepped out. When Miao Zhu bowed his head and saluted, the fortune teller who was standing cautiously outside the courtyard looked up and saw him. His already worried face suddenly froze in place, his eyes widened and sweating like rain.
Bang——
He fell straight to his knees, his body trembling.
Miao Zhu did not expect such an unfolding. Old Sun is an expert, but the expert took one look at his husband and knelt down directly. Needless to say, this old Sun claims to be an unparalleled calculator. He can see the yin and yang of heaven and earth, as well as fortune and qi.
Don’t you know how to tell your fortune? Has he offended Mr.?!
Miao Zhu lowered his head and breathed carefully.
Luo Guan raised his eyebrows. Naturally, he could tell that the fortune teller was real now. He was extremely frightened and looked like he was going to be frightened to death. He secretly thought that this man was mortal and had no cultivation or magic power. Could it be that he could still tell?
His identity is not up to standard?
But it was difficult to say that there was a chess game ahead. As soon as his thoughts changed, he smiled and said, "This is our first meeting. You don't need to be so generous. Please stand up."
call--
In one sentence, the fortune teller let out a long sigh, as if he had been fished out of the water, and said in a hoarse voice, "Many... thank you... sir..." He held his knees, shook a few times, and then stood up reluctantly, but
Still not daring to look at the person in front of me.
Miao Zhu was very discerning and saw that Luo Guan had something to ask, so he said respectfully: "Sir, I'm going to prepare some refreshments, and you two can chat slowly." When Luo Guan nodded, he took a few steps back, then turned around and left.
Don't forget to close the courtyard door gently.
Luo Guan looked at the fortune teller opposite and smiled slightly, "I'm curious, can you figure out who I am?"
The fortune teller had a lump in his throat and said with a sad face, "Sir, you are in front of me, do you still need to calculate? You are the master of heaven and earth, respected by all living beings..."
After saying that, he knelt down again, "It's just a stupid little guy who, relying on some tricks, has the audacity to spy on the secrets of heaven and fortune. Although the villain knows that it is wrong to do so, it is not a big mistake. Please be kind to me, sir, and spare my life."
One life!"
God knows, was he really almost scared to death just now? Immortal?! No, this is ten thousand times more terrifying than Immortal!
At this time, Luo Guan was really a little surprised. How could a mortal body have such piercing eyes? He thought for a moment and said, "Answer a few questions. If I explain clearly, I might be able to spare you this time."
