Chapter 333. Jinling Dragon and Tiger
Jinling is known as the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties". From the perspective of Feng Shui, tigers hang around the dragons, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Especially as the capital at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were kings, princes, generals and ministers one after another.
Although the Ming Dynasty has passed away, the scenery is no longer there.
But as an ancient historical and cultural city, it is still a place where there are hidden dragons and creeping tigers, carrying a strong river and lake.
At this time, the Confucius Temple in Jinling was in full bloom. As the "No. 1 Southeastern School", more than half of the top scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties were born here in the "Jiangnan Gongyuan". Confucius Temple was the most prosperous period of incense during the college entrance examination.
Countless parents who hoped that their children would become dragons and girls would become phoenixes came here from thousands of miles to give Confucius a handful of incense and bless their children to jump into the dragon gate in the college entrance examination and win the championship.
In addition to those enthusiastic parents, there will be temple fairs coming to the Confucius Temple here every Saturday and Sunday. Many vendors who sell antiques, old books and items will flock to them, setting up stalls and doing business for two days. Those collectors and players who like Taobao will also appear here at the same time, adding a unique urban atmosphere to this place.
At this time, it was noon and the sun was bright, and many tourists who came to Confucius Temple to visit either went to have a meal or went to cool places to chat. There was only a small crowd in the Confucius Temple.
Under a willow shade, there was an old fate stall, with a wooden sign on it, with three big words "Li Tiezui" written on it, and a couplet on both sides, which read "Two turtles can conquer the world's affairs, and one mouth can speak out to the world."
Li Tiezui sat behind the stall. This person was obviously quite angry, but seeing his old clothes, pale face and thin skin, he could tell that his customers were deserted, his business was bleak, and his life was not easy to survive.
That's right, nowadays, fewer and fewer people are superstitious in this world. Even if anyone believes in this, they are reluctant to spend money. In addition, the Internet is popular, many people can even check their birth dates and horoscopes online, and then use the help of network tools to calculate their annual fortune.
Li Tiezui didn't know anything else, he only knew that his business was getting worse every year, and sometimes it was difficult to get enough of it.
At this time, he put his hands in his sleeves and was dozing with his eyes closed. A young man suddenly turned from behind the temple gate.
The young man was about 20 years old, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome faces. He was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans under his feet, and comfortable casual shoes under his feet. He looked clean and neat. On his back, he was carrying a black shoulder bag of not big or small, which looked similar to many tourists. However, at a glance, he definitely did not belong to the rich rich man. He would not carry such a big shoulder bag. He often only had long wallets or crocodile leather handbags, and opened them all with gold cards.
The young man was walking around the scenery in Confucius Temple with a bag on his back and walked over. Li Tiezui heard the footsteps and opened his eyes lazily. Unexpectedly, when he saw the young man, he was suddenly shocked, his eyes wider and wider, and his eyes were burning. He looked straight and vertically at the young man, and his expression was full of surprise. The young man seemed to be intoxicated with the scenery. Although he passed by the fate stall, he did not notice Li Tiezui's expression.
Li Tie's mouth was not a moment, and when he saw the young man walking past, he looked at the back of the young man fiercely, suddenly he was shocked and shouted, "Little brother, good looks and good bones."
The young man was stunned when he heard this, turned around, looked at Li Tie's mouth, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Thank you for your praise, sir." He turned around and walked away.
Li Tie was anxious, raised his hand and shouted loudly, "I'll come back quickly, I'll look at you, what's wrong, I won't take any penny."
The interface said again: "It's true that you don't take any penny."
The young man thought to himself: This is strange. Since I don’t take any money, why bother to drink more? While thinking, I couldn’t help but be curious and moved, and walked back with a smile.
Originally, he was just surprised by the other person's appearance and waited for the young man to approach. Li Tiezui suddenly felt something was wrong. The originally hot weather immediately became cooler when the young man arrived, just like the young man carrying an air conditioner with him. The closer he was to him, the cooler he felt.
How could this happen? Li Tiezui couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the young man had already walked up to him. Li Tie squinted his eyes and glanced at the young man again. He reached out and slapped the bamboo stool on the side of the stall, and said, "Little brother, please sit down. I think you are from the Central Plains, right?"
The young man thought to himself, why do you need to see this? He could naturally guess that I was from the Central Plains when I heard my accent. He was thinking in his heart and said with a smile: "Mr. I am a native of Nandu. I have just arrived in Jinling for a while."
He opened his mouth and nodded repeatedly, raised his hand and whispered, and said, "My little brother is full of books. In my opinion, you are talented and knowledgeable."
The young man smiled first, then his face darkened, and he said sadly: "I only went to high school in my lower grades. I was ignorant when I was young, but I missed the opportunity to go to college. Now I am also reading some books randomly, but I can't talk about the four words "learning and talented."
Li Tie shook his head and smiled, "Little brother, I see that you have straight eyebrows and tall eyes, which is a sign of intelligence and transcendence; your cheeks and seals are high, and your nose and ears are full of heaven. This is a famous reputation, famous all over the world, knowledgeable and talented, and that is absolutely impossible to be wrong."
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Sir, I just like to play around, and I can't be as good as a martial arts. I can say that I am an idle person, so why not be a big shot..."
Li Tie raised his hand and shook his hand, and said decisively: "Little brother, your ears are a little low, so you were lonely when you were young. Fortunately, it was over. There are two sentences in the physiognomy, "Eighteen Mars are on the front, and the twenty-first middle is in the Heavenly Bone Method," from this year..."
The young man interrupted Li Tie's mouth and smiled slightly, "If I remember well, what the physiognomy says should be 'Fifteen Mars is in the middle, the bone method is formed in the sixteen heavens, the corners of the sun and the moon are formed, the fortune is nineteen, the auxiliary corners are twenty-two, the auxiliary corners are twenty-two, the border city is twenty-three and four, and the border city is twenty-five, and the border city is twenty-five.'... I am twenty-three years old this year, and it should be the border city, not the bone method is formed."
Li Tie was stunned, and never expected that the other party would understand this super ancient "Song of the Picture of the Centennial Years".
You know, this is something that must be learned for fortune-telling. In order to meet the situation, Li Tiezui made occasional changes, and many people couldn't notice it. This time, it was exposed by a young man in person. His old face was red with a scorching redness.
Fortunately, Li Tiezui is also an old man. He was so quick that he immediately laughed and said, "Look, I have seen through it. Of course I know this, but I was deliberately wrong, just to throw away the bricks and attract jade--I just said that you are well-read and knowledgeable, but you don't admit it. Even you memorize such an obscure song of the passing years, which shows how correct my judgment was."
The young man was speechless, and it seemed that Jiang was still so hot. Then he remembered the accusers in Stephen Chow's movies. When he saw people, he either praised the "skeletons are clear and none of them" or "there are bones on his forehead, the light of spirit in his eyes, the immortals are reincarnated, and the gods descended to the earth." Compared with the real accusers, he was still a little less flexible and changeable.
However, he really didn't want to waste too much time here. He said in the intercept: "Thank you, sir, for your advice. I have important things in my lower body, and come to ask for advice again next day." He bowed his hand and was about to leave.
Li Tiezui was very anxious, stood up and waved to him, "Little brother, stay there, there is still something to do."
When the young man heard this, he really stopped, but he didn't want to continue listening, but took out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket, put it on Li Tiezui's stall very seriously, and said, "There is no reason to look at the world for nothing. There is not much money, so please accept it." After that, he smiled slightly and turned around and left.
Li Tiezui looked at the one hundred yuan, and then looked at the young man's back as he left, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This time it was not for money. He had never met someone with such a face in his life. If he guessed it well, look at the appearance and behavior of the young man just now, it was a rare "dragon and tiger posture". Jinling is also a famous place where tigers sit and dragons are coiled. This foreign dragon must stir up the entire world here...
Jinling, it's going to be in chaos!
