Chapter 46
"Master, is there no other way?" Liu Chengshou asked tentatively, "Any other way-----" The old man dragged the long voice, feeling very hesitant. I think he was a little ungrateful, but Liu Chengshou and his wife saw hope in it. "Master, what can you tell me quickly?" The couple begged at the same time, "There is no other way. There is a 'Tianyou Monument' in this sect, which is transformed by the spirit stone when the world was first formed. As long as the name is written on it, you can get the blessing of God. It can not only eliminate disasters and solve problems, but also protect wealth and great honors, and always be prosperous in official fortunes, but it's just that---" The old man stopped at this point.
"But how?" Liu Chengshou and his wife immediately asked. Seeing their anxious look, they seemed to want to rush over and pinch the old man's neck and let him say it in full. Seeing that the temperature was almost done, the old man continued to say, "It's just that if I want to engrave the words on the 'Tianyou Monument', my soul needs to be separated from my body. This approach is not only very dangerous, but also will consume a hundred years of skill. If you want to make up for it, you must do more good deeds." "What kind of good deeds do you need to do?" "You need to re-cultivate the Taoist temple, reshape the golden body of the ancestor, and help the people of the world." "How much does it cost to do these things?" Liu Chengshou asked without hesitation, "This depends on how sincere you are," the old man replied slowly.
Liu Chengshou did not say anything, but just glanced at the fat lady. The fat lady immediately understood and turned around and walked out. She quickly handed it to Liu Chengshou with a bag. Then Liu Chengshou directly put the bag on the table in front of the old man. Needless to think about it, the bag must have something like gold, silver and treasures, and it seemed that the number was quite large. "I'm getting rich now." I was secretly happy in my heart, but the old man didn't react at all. He didn't even look at it, and there was still a embarrassed expression on his face.
Liu Chengshou of course understood the old man's meaning, and seemed to grit his teeth and lie in the fat lady's ear and whisper a few words. The fat lady's face became hesitant, but when she saw Liu Chengshou standing straight, she immediately walked out obediently and came back soon with a larger bag. Liu Chengshou put two bags in front of the old man together. There was so much money in front of him, but the old man didn't even look at it. He looked like he regarded money as dirt. I was really impressed in my heart, 'Master! A real master!'. However, the old man's performance did not end. He bit his lips a few times, and said as if he had made a difficult choice, "Since we are destined to be a matter of accumulating merit, I will sacrifice my best."
Liu Chengshou and his wife smiled and toasted and thanked the old man frequently. After a flash of depression just now, the atmosphere of the banquet became cheerful. The old man also changed his reserve just now and started to eat and drink. During this period, he also enthusiastically guided Liu Chengshou how to transform the Feng Shui of this house. Finally, he took off the wooden sword behind him. There were several other swords in my bag. The old man's body was also taken out of the bag before he entered the city.
The sword I can carry is definitely not a good thing. Even if it is not the rotten wood picked up by the roadside, it is probably very common. However, in the old man's mouth, this sword made of unknown wood became a phoenix tree in the mouth of the old man, "taken from the overseas fairy mountains, and has been nourished by himself for thousands of years. This is the only one in the world. It can be hung on the head of the bed to cure evil in the house, increase blessings and longevity. Maybe it feels that my statement is not great enough. After stopping for a while, the old man added in a slightly strange tone, "It can also strengthen the body, nourish yin and kidneys."
Based on my understanding of the old man, I guess he originally wanted to say "tonify the kidneys and strengthen the yang, but the golden spear will not fall." However, he felt that this sentence was too explicit and did not conform to the identity of a master, so he finally chose a more implicit statement.
However, even so, it made Liu Chengshou and his wife happy. The fat lady looked at Liu Chengshou with spring eyes, but found that Liu Chengshou was looking at the little maid who was pouring wine beside her with spring eyes. Her face immediately became colder than the blizzard in the North Pole. However, such an occasion could not occur, so she had to vent her resentment on a roast chicken in front of her. Seeing her gritting her teeth, it seemed that the roast chicken destroyed the relationship between the couple.
After eating and drinking, the old man refused to leave despite Liu Chengshou's resolutely. I agree with his approach very much. Why don't he run away quickly after cheating so much money?
Liu Chengshou and his wife reluctantly sent us to the door. During this process, the old man kept instructing us to change the feng shui of the house as soon as possible according to his instructions, otherwise there would be a very bad thing. The couple agreed in fear and trepidation, and I laughed again. If they really followed the old man's instructions, the house would probably have to be converted into a construction site, but I also agreed very much that it would allow corrupt officials to lose money.
After leaving Liu Chengshou's home, the old man took me to buy some food as fast as possible, then immediately walked out of the city gate and walked along the Yangtze River. He didn't rest at all in the middle and stayed in the open until very late. I didn't complain about this practice. As the saying goes, I am guilty of being a thief, especially when I was a thief for the first time. Although I was just an accomplice and didn't say a word from beginning to end in this case, I was even more depressed than the old man, and I wish I could grow wings and fly away from this place.
I found a flat stone for a while before my breathing was stable, but my stomach started to squeak. The food I ate for lunch had been consumed by the rapid progress, so I quickly took out the dough cake and sauce meat from the bag. If I could roast the dough cake on the fire, it would become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it tasted so fragrant. Unfortunately, the old man was afraid that Liu Chengshou would bring people to catch up when the taste came back, so he insisted not to light the fire, so I could only chew the dry and hard dough cakes, which were naturally incomparable to the good things I ate for lunch, but it was much better than the corn cakes I ate a few days ago, not to mention the sauce meat.
The old man had no appetite, just sat there with a proud look on his face, still immersed in the joy of success. It seemed that this time was a rare big business for him, so he looked like a weasel who had just succeeded in stealing chickens. However, he would occasionally look at me, but he didn't say anything. However, from his eyes, I could feel that he should really want to engrave two big words "foodie" on my face.
I was immunized with such eyes, so I completely ignored it. I just stuffed the noodles into my mouth with a bite of sauce. After eating, I picked up the water bag and took several sips. I felt so comfortable that I couldn't help but burp loudly. "Uh!" This feeling of eating and drinking is really good. It would be great if I could have a soft big bed now.
Unfortunately, this is just a beautiful fantasy. The old man could not be wandering around the world with a bulky tent on his backward world. In this backward world, there is no high-end Dongzi like a sleeping bag. When sleeping in the open, he could only find a relatively flat place, curl up his body, and put a bundle under his head as a pillow.
This taste is really bad, so unless I am stuck in a dizzy way, I will definitely refuse to sleep. The best way to spend time is naturally to chat with the old man.
"Old man, is there really a 'Tianyou Monument' in your Taoist temple? Why don't you carve my name on it?" "There is no 'Tianyou Monument', but there is a piece of the tombstone. Do you want to carve the name on it?" "You should keep the tombstone yourself." I replied unwillingly, and saw that the old man did not reply, so I had to continue to find the topic "Old man, what disease did that Liu Lu get? Why did he look like an evil ghost?" "What evil ghost is plaguing?" The old man looked at me with an idiot's eyes. "He was overly drunk and exhausted his body, and his kidney deficiency." "How is it possible, he is only fifteen years old this year!" I almost screamed.
"What's wrong with fifteen years old?" The old man looked at me with a calm look on his face. "I was already at the age of twelve. "When I was teaching, I was already twelve years old. "I stopped here, "What's it?" I hurriedly asked, "I already knew to help others and accumulate virtue and do good deeds." "Take it! An old liar, even I lied." I glared at the old man helplessly, but my heart was extremely unbalanced. I am almost eighteen years old this year, but I am still a pure boy. At most, I just found some *** online to enjoy my eyes.
But people in this world have already started real guns and ammunition when they were fourteen or five years old, and the frequency of battles is very frequent. Even the ammunition depot has been hollowed out. The gap is too big. I want to cry, especially when I saw the old man's smug look, I became even more angry, so I stretched out a hand to the old man.
"What?" the old man glared at me, "Half the meeting," I said without hesitation, "You little brat, eat mine and drink mine, you dare to share money with me. What evil did I do in my previous life, but I took over such an apprentice as you, treacherous, lazy, lazy, greedy, and lustful--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't say it's useless, give it money!" I was still unwilling to give up, but the old man put on a serious attitude. "Xiaozheng, you also know that there is no son or daughter in the master's knees. Now there is only you, the disciple. After you return to heaven, don't you leave everything for you?" "Then when will you return to heaven?" "You little brat, how can you expect the master to die?" The old man glared again. "Nonsense, just your body, I may not be able to survive you. At that time, we don't know who will return to heaven first." I said angrily.
