Chapter 15 Unfavorable start

I ran a few hundred meters before stopping. The little Taoist priest was panting and caught up with me: "Thank you for your help, brother. If you hadn't knocked him down, I wouldn't have been able to escape."

This was a beautiful misunderstanding, and I did not break it. I smiled and said, "You are very brave. You dare to provoke a big shopping spree between Buddhism and Taoism. Aren't you afraid that your master will hold you accountable?"

"I'm afraid of nothing!" The little Taoist priest curled his slightly thin lips, "I'm not a Taoist priest in the first place. I wear Taoist robes just for image. It's best for monks and Taoist priests to kill each other to the death. If they all die, no one will follow me.

Stealing business.”

I was both angry and funny: "Are you an Onmyoji?"

The little Taoist priest stared at me: "Are you also an Onmyoji?"

Then both of us laughed. From the collision just now, we already understood that the other party was practicing Yin Yang Jue. I didn't expect to meet a fellow student just after entering the city, so I was in a good mood and extended my hand to him.

The little Taoist priest also stretched out his hand, and when we shook hands, we knew each other's cultivation level. He was only the first level of Tai Chi Chaos in Yin Yang Jue, and was much weaker than me.

"Senior brother, my little brother Ling Fengpiao will be the most beautiful Ling, the maple leaves are flying all over the sky." Ling Fengpiao bowed to me.

"Haha, I'm about the same age as you, maybe you're older. My name is Zhang Xuanming." I also cupped my hand.

"Learning is endless, and those who have mastered it are their teachers. You are my senior brother!" Ling Fengpiao said very affectionately. Although this guy is about the same age as me, he can speak fluently in the world of martial arts.

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something, and I'm afraid it's not just someone from the same school. I smiled, gestured and said as I walked: "Where are you from, and how many years have you been studying?"

Ling Fengpiao looked a little sad: "I don't know where I am from. I have been running around with my master since I was a child. My master died five years ago and no one has guided me, so it is only half a bucket of water."

I nodded: "It's not bad. It's better than those people at the gate of Xizen Temple."

Ling Fengpiao shook his head and lamented: "It's hard to put it into words. I'm not good at my studies, I have no hair on my lips, I can't get any business, and I haven't eaten anything for a day and a night."

Damn, it turns out that senior brother is shouting so affectionately because he has no food to eat!

After all, we are the only descendants of the same clan. Senior brother called me so affectionately that I had no choice but to treat him. I had to sit down at a roadside breakfast stall and get something to eat myself.

I had just finished two meat buns, but he had already eaten seven meat buns, two fried dough sticks, and a bowl of hotpot paste. Even the breakfast stall owner was stunned. Could this be the reincarnation of a starving ghost?

Ling Fengpiao has thick and high eyebrows, a pointed chin, thin lips, and stiff ears. He should be a hot-tempered, a bit mean and arrogant person. To put it simply, he is a person who is prone to trouble, so I

My first impression of him was not very good, and I was going to go our separate ways after finishing this breakfast.

Ling Fengpiao was satisfied with her meal, then she burped and touched her belly: "Brother, where did you always make your fortune?"

It seemed that I wanted to borrow money, so I said with a grimace: "I just entered the city yesterday. My master is seriously ill. I am making money to treat his illness. I haven't opened my business yet. How can I make a fortune?"

Ling Fengpiao looked expectant: "Senior brother, can you tell fortunes, tell fortunes, and tell fortunes?"

"You know how to do it, but you're not very proficient in it." I looked at him in surprise, "Didn't your master teach you this?"

Ling Fengpiao said depressingly: "No, that old guy only taught me Yin-Yang tactics and some methods of catching ghosts and inviting ghosts. He didn't teach me anything else, so it's hard for me to make money. How many people do you think there are in this city?

Can ghosts be caught? Catching ghosts is not like those fortune tellers who can make money just by talking nonsense. It’s too unpopular..."

I was a little surprised: "Is your master a descendant of the ghost system?"

Ling Fengpiao was confused: "What ghost type?"

"It is said that the ancient Onmyojis are divided into five types: heaven, earth, human, ghost, and soldier. The ghost type is good at summoning spirits, fighting ghosts, and communicating with the underworld. Maybe your master is a descendant of the ghost type, so he is not good at fortune-telling, or fortune-telling.

He passed away before he could teach you."

"It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to." Ling Feng waved his hand, "No matter what department it is, as long as it can make money. This is the first time in so many years that I have met a master from the same sect, so I ask for your support no matter what.

, my little brother will follow you from now on. You will be the one to tell fortunes and tell fortunes. I will be the one to subjugate demons and catch ghosts. We two brothers will be the masters of the world."

This guy is more ruthless than I thought. He doesn't want to borrow money, he wants to use me as a mobile canteen! I have a higher level of cultivation than him and have comprehensive skills. There is no need to bring him with me. If I get entangled with him,

I take care of food and shelter every day. If he is comfortable, I will be miserable!

I took out all the money in my pocket and spread it out on the table. There were more than three hundred in total. I took out two and pushed them in front of him: "Brother, we are destined to meet each other, not to mention that we are both descendants of Guigu.

, I must help if there are difficulties, but I really only have so much money, you can use these two hundred to deal with emergencies first."

Ling Fengpiao stood up suddenly, her face flushed, but when she saw my calm face, I only kept more than one hundred, but gave him two hundred, and showed gratitude, and cupped her hands: "Thank you, senior brother, for your generous help.

, I will definitely pay you back the money. I don’t know how to contact you in the future?”

"No need to pay it back, no need to pay it back. You rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out." I said a few polite words and stood up to ask the boss to come over and pay the bill.

At this time, two police cars roared past, probably going to the entrance of Xichan Temple. Ling Fengpiao became a little nervous, grabbed the money, said thank you, and hurriedly got out of the way.

I was also afraid that I would be recognized by the monks. I couldn’t hang out here today, so I walked to the bus stop, took out the map and looked for another target. It is said that there are also fortune tellers gathering outside the antique market. It’s not very far from here. Let’s go and see it.

See it later.

The antique market is on Liuyi Road, with antique buildings and antique colors. There are a variety of antique stores, but Shoushan Stone Store, a local specialty, is the most popular. There are also some calligraphy and painting stores, accessories stores, and miscellaneous ones. Opposite the antique market is the flower and bird market, so this

There are many people from all walks of life in the area, making it very lively.

Sure enough, there were some magicians setting up stalls at the entrance of the antique market, and there were also some antique sellers who spread a piece of cloth on the ground and put a few things covered in mud or green rust, which looked like they had just been dug out of ancient tombs.

.

I found an empty seat, took out a long piece of yellow paper from my pocket and spread it on the ground, with official writing on it:

Know the yin and yang, cut off the five elements, look at the sun and moon in the palm of your hand

Push the past, measure the future, and know everything from your sleeves

This is what I wrote this morning. Yesterday evening at the gate of Xizenji Temple, I saw other people simply writing fortune telling, fortune telling, dream interpretation, etc. If I were the same as others, how could I attract attention? I have to be unique.

Only then can you catch big fish!

My weird signboard quickly attracted people nearby, and my calligraphy skills are quite good, which is called class, and I can compare with the crooked calligraphy of my colleagues next to me.

"Does such a young man have any real ability?" a passerby asked doubtfully.

"What a loud tone!" A nearby stall owner who wrote straight words sneered.

"I don't know how high the sky is!" On the other side was written ten yuan for each hexagram, and the stall owner who calculated the money accurately also sneered.

"..."

I pointed coldly at everyone, ignoring everyone's doubts and ridicules. Only by attracting attention can the advertising effect be achieved. Only by raising doubts can we attract the attention of big customers. The worst thing is that no one pays attention. (Lao Si also asks for attention, Sina Weibo nickname: Si Bu Xiang 13)

Onlookers came and went, but no one asked for the test. It’s not that my method is not good, but that I am too young. The other people setting up stalls are all over forty years old, and even those without beards have to wear it. Who would believe a man in his twenties if he had a beard?

After waiting for more than an hour, there were countless people watching, but no one asked for a test. The customers did not come to the door, but a few people in uniform came, and the stall owners immediately ran away.

At that time, the urban management officials were not as famous as they are now. I didn’t even know which department they were from. Seeing their murderous attitude, all the stall owners fled, so they followed them in a hurry, without even having time to pick up the signboards... I This is how the first business ended.

I finally realized Ling Fengpiao’s difficulty. I was too young and couldn’t get any business. Maybe wearing a Taoist robe would help me look better. Do I have to wear a Taoist robe and pretend to be a Taoist priest? I lost my sign, so I could only go back first. .

When I returned to the downstairs of the inn, I saw Xiaofei leaning against the counter, holding her chin in her hands, feeling a little suffocated. I suddenly remembered the mysterious atmosphere last night. If her home was not peaceful, I could help her. , at least the rent can be waived, so he came over and said, "Xiao Fei, do you miss your boyfriend?"

"No!" Xiao Fei rolled her eyes at me, a little blush appeared on her face, and I really guessed what was on her mind.

"Get a pack of Gutian." I took out my money. If I wanted to strike up a conversation with someone, I had to buy something.

Xiao Fei listlessly gave me a pack of cigarettes, and I asked, "Is business okay? There aren't many people on this road."

"It's just, boring to death."

"It's definitely calmer here at night. Are you afraid of the store?"

"My mother looks after the store at night."

After chatting for a while, Xiaofei's mood improved a little, and I started to get to the point: "Have there been any supernatural events nearby?"

Xiaofei frowned slightly: "Supernatural incident?"

"Some incredible things, like hauntings, or abnormal deaths."

"No, but a few days ago a monk in Shita Temple died very strangely. He slept peacefully at night, but the next day he looked like a mummy..." At this point, Xiao Fei became a little nervous and shrank her neck.

This time it was my turn to be surprised: "Like a mummy? That's because the monster has sucked all the essence and blood!"

Xiao Fei slapped the counter: "That's right, my grandpa said so too!"

"Your grandfather?"

"My grandfather lived in the Stone Tower Hall over there and saw it with his own eyes. It was so scary. It looked like a mummy. Why do you think monsters appear in the city?"

"Maybe it was a passing monster. When he was hungry, he grabbed a cultivated monk to eat. You have read Journey to the West, right? The monster just loves to eat Tang Monk's meat..."

"hehe……"

I talked nonsense and made Xiaofei laugh non-stop, and then I "accidentally" let her know that I could tell fortunes, and she naturally asked me to show it to her, so not only did I know He even knew what time she was born.

Xiaofei's real name is Ouyang Zhenfei, she is twenty years old, a local, and is in her first year of college. Her father is running a business out of town, and her mother runs this grocery store and inn. Her grandfather likes theology and mysticism and has the habit of morning exercises.
