Fang Ming put down the paper and pen, and Luo Jincheng's eyes fell on the words written by Fang Ming. When he saw the words, his pupils dilated, and then he took a serious look at Fang Ming's face.
Just a few seconds later, Luo Jincheng's face was full of surprise, and then he waved his hand, "I don't expect this word of yours."
Fang Ming smiled. It is rare for a Mr. Tester to fail to test the Chinese characters. This Taoist priest is also an interesting person. He just wrote his last name: Fang.
"Since you asked me to test a word for you, you might as well test a word for me."
Luo Jincheng's sudden request made Fang Ming stunned, but he did not refuse, but made a "please" gesture.
"Thanks!"
Luo Jincheng wrote the word "thank you".
Fang Ming glanced at Luo Jincheng in surprise, but when he saw Luo Jincheng's questioning gaze, he knew that the other party had already seen through his identity, but he was just using this word to express it.
"Mr. Nao Nao."
Fang Ming clasped his fists. The word "Xie" may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but anyone who knows about character testing will definitely hear allusions to the word "Xie".
In the Song Dynasty, there was a callimeter master named Xie Shi. This person was very accurate in measuring calligraphy. However, he was later sent to the banquet for offending Qin Hui. On the way to the ban, he met a calligrapher. He immediately stepped forward and wrote the word "Xie"
.
The calligrapher also smiled slightly after seeing this word and replied: "It seems that sir and I are also traveling together."
Xie Shi was surprised that the other party could see this, and immediately asked why.
"You stand between words and inches, which means that you rely on your sharp tongue to survive. What else can you be if you are not a colleague?"
Therefore, the word "thank you" was Luo Jincheng's test of Fang Ming, but after saying this, Fang Ming made a gesture of invitation: "In that case, sir, please come with me."
"Follow you, why?" Luo Jincheng asked with a smile.
"Sir, when he wrote a word of thanks, didn't he ask me to set up a banquet in the magical city of Jinjincuncun and invite him to have a drink and have a good talk?"
Luo Jincheng was stunned for a moment, but suddenly laughed loudly, "Okay, then I want to see how you entertain me."
After standing up, Luo Jincheng followed Fang Ming and left. However, just as Luo Jincheng walked out of the stall, an old man suddenly appeared on the roadside.
"You haven't paid the stall fee for today. The stall fee is 30 yuan. In addition, these items are 20 yuan for use, so the total is 50 yuan."
The old man had the words "park administrator" hanging on his arm. Fang Ming looked at Luo Jincheng in surprise. However, the expression on Luo Jincheng's face became a little strange at this moment. He hesitated for a long time and groped with his hands for a long time, but it turned out that
No response.
"You're not going to tell me that you don't even have fifty dollars on you, are you?"
The old man looked like he had seen through it and said, "You liars, you have the hands and feet to do anything wrong, but you still want to cheat. It seems that you spent a lot of money to buy this outfit. If you don't have money, I will put it on your neck."
Let's use this string of beads to pay off the debt. Although I bought it from a street stall, it looks pretty good."
Hearing the old man's words, Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh. However, Luo Jincheng's face showed anger, but when the old man glared, he looked depressed again.
"Old man, I gave you these fifty yuan."
Fang Ming knew that Luo Jincheng could not be embarrassed like this anymore, so he took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man. Luo Jincheng looked at Fang Ming with a grateful face.
"Thank you very much. I will return it to you when I make money."
"You're welcome." Fang Ming waved his hand. The old man didn't know the goods, but he recognized it at a glance. The string of beads hanging on Luo Jincheng's chest had a slight fluorescence, which showed that the string of beads were of spiritual weapon level.
Just this shaking bead would be a terrifying figure if Luo Jincheng was willing to take it out.
But what Fang Ming couldn't figure out was that with Luo Jincheng's ability, it was impossible to get around without even having fifty yuan.
"You guys, just take care of yourself. There is no way out in this liar business after all."
The old man took the money and said something sincerely, but Fang Ming was a little curious when he heard what the old man said: "Old man, since you say we are liars, why do you still rent us the venue? You are not afraid that someone will be cheated.
?”
"How would I make extra money without you scammers?" The old man looked at Fang Ming like he was an idiot, "Besides, I'm not a policeman. Even those policemen still run some casinos, so I'll arrest them if they have nothing to do.
It’s a way to make some extra money at a time, but scammers can’t help it anyway. If you don’t cheat here, others will cheat you.”
Knowledge is needed to understand everything in the world, and the old man exudes the aura of being able to see through the secular world. After leaving these words, he turned around and left.
Fang Ming smiled, but he had to admit that what the old man said was right. This is the real society. Where there is white, there is black. It is impossible for gray and black areas to disappear. All that can be done is to control them in a
within the appropriate range.
…
Speechless all the way, Fang Ming led Luo Jincheng out of the park. Chen and An were stunned when they saw Fang Ming and Luo Jincheng walking together, but then they greeted them.
"Mr. Fang."
"Everyone, come with me."
Fang Ming didn't explain much and motioned for Chen and An to follow. He called Dazhu and asked Dazhu to find a nearby hotel to cook some dishes and deliver them to his home. He wanted to entertain a few guests.
.
An hour later, Fang Ming and the others appeared in front of the door of the villa where he lived. Seeing this luxurious villa, Luo Jincheng's brows furrowed for a moment, and then he relaxed.
"Brother Luo, please!"
The inscription on the car already knew the name of Luo Jincheng. Luo Jincheng came from a Taoist temple in a remote mountain village. The mountain is not a famous mountain, and the Taoist temple is not famous. There is only one Taoist temple on the whole mountain, and the whole Taoist temple only has two Taoist priests, Luo Jincheng and his master.
Luo Jincheng grew up with his master since he was a child, and the reason why Luo Jincheng went down the mountain was because his master passed away three months ago. After observing filial piety for three months, Luo Jincheng left the Taoist temple.
From this point of view, the past experiences of Luo Jincheng and Fang Ming are somewhat similar. Both of them were orphans and were adopted by their respective masters at an early age.
But there are differences between the two, especially when Fang Ming learned about Luo Jincheng's life in the Taoist temple, he suddenly felt that he was lucky to have met his master. The two were completely opposite.
Luo Jincheng's master was a strict master. Luo Jincheng had to chant sutras and pray since he was a child. When he grew up a little, all the chores in the Taoist temple were handed over to him.
Burning firewood, doing laundry and cooking.
In contrast, Fang Ming had hardly done any chores, because in the Taoist temple, in addition to himself and the master, there was an aunt who was responsible for cleaning, washing and cooking.
It can be said that Fang Ming's life as a child was just like that of a young master from a wealthy family. All he had to do in the Taoist temple was to familiarize himself with the scriptures and various ancient books and scrolls that his master showed him, and he did not have to worry about those chores in life.
Luo Jincheng's master and Fang Ming's master were both Taoist priests, but they took completely different paths. Master Fang Ming did not follow the path of asceticism. In comparison, his life was more comfortable than anyone else's.
This can be seen from the utensils used to draw talisman. How many Taoist temples can afford an incense burner made of pure gold?
Therefore, this led to Luo Jincheng having to choose to leave the Taoist temple after his mourning was over, because if he continued to stay in the Taoist temple, he would have trouble even having three meals a day.
It's not like Luo Jincheng has never left the Taoist temple. Since he was twenty years old, his master has taken him down the mountain to solve some problems for many people, catch ghosts and do innocent things.
But Luo Jincheng’s master never overcharges his employer. In his master’s words: one’s cultivation is a gift from God, and it should be used to maintain the stability of this world. Subduing demons and catching ghosts is one’s duty, so how can it be done?
Use this for personal gain?
Luo Jincheng's master didn't leave him much property. Unlike Fang Ming, everything in the Taoist temple was a valuable antique.
So when Luo Jincheng went down the mountain, he only had a few hundred dollars with him. It seemed to him that he would not starve to death with his own skills, and he should be able to catch the evil spirits in the world like his master, so the common people and villagers naturally gave him money.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
There are so many ghosts in today's society. Let alone ghosts, we haven't even encountered evil spirits in a week.
A week later, Luo Jincheng spent all the money he had on him to buy a bus ticket to Magic City, because he heard that Magic City is a big city with many people. If there are many people, there may be problems, and he might be able to get him there.
Encountered a ghost causing trouble.
At the dinner table, old man Fang Ming was drinking tea and looking at Luo Jincheng who was devouring his tea with a smile. Chen and An, who were beside him, opened their mouths to speak but were stopped by Fang Ming's eyes every time.
Among the people at the scene, only Dazhu didn't know what happened, while Lao Huang didn't know where he wandered off.
After having enough wine and food, Luo Jincheng patted his belly and then noticed that Fang Ming and others were all looking at him. He blushed for a rare time and explained: "I have a big appetite, so I feel strange."
"Brother Luo is serious. It's a blessing to be able to eat these days." Fang Ming shook his head with a smile, and then suddenly asked: "Brother Luo caught Chen Leer's ghost on purpose, right?"
Straight to the point, Fang Ming stopped beating around the bush because he believed Luo Jincheng understood what he meant.
"Ahem..."
Luo Jincheng, who was drinking tea to soothe his throat, suddenly coughed and almost spit out the tea.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Fang say this?"
Fang Ming smiled and did not continue this topic. Previously, he really thought that Luo Jincheng would refine Chen Leer's ghost into a puppet, but after seeing Luo Jincheng and having such contact for a while, he was sure that Luo Jincheng's words were intentional.
