Huh?
It's true!
Lin Shan remained calm, holding the bowl and stepping aside to make room for the other fishermen, watching the group from a short distance away.
Soon the fishermen snatched up all the talisman water in the tank. Those who came after saw that the fairy water was sold out and could only leave in dismay.
After they left, the wandering Taoist priest put the vat in his pocket, sat down behind the table, and started setting up a stall to tell fortunes!
"Destiny is determined by the sky, and luck can be predicted. In ancient times, there were magicians who understood the mysteries, but now we have solved the mystery. When calculating marriage, the red thread will lead; when measuring wealth, gold and silver will be added!"
"There is a table on the dock to give you guidance. Don't let your fate be like a cloud."
"Fellow folks, let's have a try."
Hua la la la la~~~
The copper coins he had just earned were now scattered on the table. I don't know when it was covered with a layer of red cloth. There were also bamboo stick tubes, horoscopes, Bagua disks, and small calculation chips next to it. It really looked like that. Son!
The people passing by didn't even stop for a step, they just warned their friends around them as they walked:
"This Taoist priest's talisman water still has some effect. Drink it to strengthen your courage. Just give him a few pennies and treat it as peace of mind. Don't use fortune telling!"
Someone else asked:
"Isn't his fortune telling accurate?"
"How many fortune tellers have you seen who are accurate? They first guess your past to gain trust, then make up an illusory future to make money, and finally say something ambiguous to finish. Isn't that the same thing!"
"Well, that seems to be the case, but there should be a fortune teller with real skills."
The man wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.
The passerby aunt pulled her away quickly.
"Think about it, if he could really predict the future, he would have become famous long ago. Why would he be reduced to the street to earn three melons and two dates like you?"
"But his talisman water is really powerful"
Faced with the criticism from passers-by, the wandering Taoist priest did not take it seriously.
He just touched his goatee, smacked his lips and leaned back on the chair. He seemed to be hungry on the road, so he took out a steamed bun from behind and started to chew on it.
Lin Shan was very interested in his previous Fu Shui and wanted to touch this person's bottom, so he walked over again and sat at the opposite table.
"Taoist Priest, how about you calculate it for me?"
This guy put down the pancakes and his eyes lit up when he saw a customer!
"What does this young master want? Fame? Marriage? Or wealth?"
"Is this the only one? Are there any others?"
"Of course, do you want to clear up your doubts? I can calculate it here, whether it's short-term or long-term!"
"Short term."
Lin Shan simply asked a question directly to see what kind of quality this guy was.
"I'm going to do something big recently, can you tell me if it can be done?"
The wandering Taoist priest rolled his eyes and began to ask for birth dates.
Lin Shan would naturally not be able to give his horoscopes to others casually. In the world of cultivation, there are countless evil spells that use horoscopes to harm people. As the leader of both good and evil religions, how could he not know the dangers involved?
Even if the person in front of you has average cultivation and poses no threat to you, what if it spreads to you in the future?
"You can't do anything except the horoscopes?"
"Can calculate, can calculate!"
The Taoist priest didn't hesitate. Some people are more sensitive to birth dates and are very protective. It's understandable. He has often encountered such people, so he asked for palm reading.
Lin Shan spread his palms according to words.
The Taoist priest broke it and looked at it for a while. Suddenly he felt sweat on his forehead, and he was a little surprised!
Ask Lin Shan what he is going to do?
"Go to a friend's appointment and find someone to fight with."
Lin Shan didn't mind leaking some information to him. Anyway, he was about to go to the Maiden Palace. He was really not sure about this trip. After all, he was from a top sect.
The Taoist priest nodded with a thoughtful look on his face. He couldn't see anything from his palm reading, so he pinched out three copper coins and handed them to him, asking him to use the six-line hexagram based on what he was thinking.
The copper coin was not an ordinary copper coin, but a mid-level magic weapon. The enhanced panel showed that there was nothing wrong with it, so Lin Shan simply followed the instructions.
Unexpectedly,
"Bang bang bang!"
The moment the three coins fell, they all exploded and shattered!
The hexagrams on the table were a bit messy, and the wandering Taoist priest looked surprised. It was the first time he encountered such a situation, and his magic weapon could be destroyed even if he told a hexagram!
He quickly touched his forehead with his finger!
As if his eyes were opened, he looked at the top of Lin Shan's head and suddenly froze.
A big black chimney.
Shooting straight to the sky
Emitting billowing smoke
The whole town is polluted and smoky.
"Hiss~~~"
This guy was so frightened that his hands were shaking, and all the pancakes on the table fell to the ground. It was obviously the first time he had seen such a scene, and he looked at Lin Shan as if he was looking at a ghost!
"What's wrong?"
Lin Shan, who was opposite him, looked harmless. He even helped him pick up the fried cakes, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to be afraid.
"Come on, keep counting."
"I"
The wandering Taoist priest is about to cry!
What kind of unparalleled disaster is this? How could I have encountered this!
If one person pollutes half the sky, is he still a human being? Master, I want to go home!
He wanted to run but didn't dare, because he just used his spiritual sense to detect it and found that the young man in front of him was unfathomable, and this time he actually kicked the iron plate.
Duoduoshuo moved the lotus tube on the table and asked Lin Shan to randomly draw a lotus, so that he could interpret the hexagram based on the sign.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shan just got started,
"Pa-ta~"
The whole lotus tube immediately cracked!
The bamboo sticks inside were scattered all over the table.
The wandering Taoist priest was stunned again, looking at the innocent-looking Lin Shan across from him, his chest heaving violently, and he was breathing heavily.
He was afraid. It was true that he had never told fortunes for high-level monks before, but he had never encountered such a counterattack divination tool!
"Predecessors"
"Continue."
Following Lin Shan's faint instructions, he had no choice but to tremble and take out another horn. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this thing was extraordinary.
Because there are spiritual patterns on the horns, green and white, flashing in and out, and automatically moving from bottom to top, loop after loop, alternating between day and night, I guess it is this old boy's treasure at the bottom of the box.
He prayed silently in his heart, don't let this thing blow up again, which would ruin people's jobs.
Lin Shan took it over curiously,
【Throwing Spiritual Ox Horns】
Quality: High-end magic weapon
Introduction: Divination arithmetic device, made from the horn of the third-level spirit, can divine creatures of the third level and below. The success rate and accuracy are determined by the level of divination and the person's cultivation, luck, cause and effect and other internal and external factors. .
Strengthening requirements: 32 points
"Divination?"
He seemed to have heard this term before.
This magic weapon is obviously a special divination prop, but due to the refining techniques and materials, it can only divination for creatures of a specific life level, and the success rate and accuracy of divination are not guaranteed.
There are so many aspects involved!
He was a little curious, where did all these things come from? Is there really an organization behind this old boy in front of him? Following the wandering Taoist priest's prompts, he silently thought about what he wanted to do for divination, and then threw it directly on the table.
"Crack!"
As expected, the wandering Taoist priest's heart was broken along with this spirit-throwing magic weapon.
"I me. Woo woo woo."
When the old guy disagreed, he started crying directly in the street, crying very sadly.
The people passing by stopped to watch from a distance and pointed at this place.
Lin Shan knew in his heart that this guy still had two skills, but because his level was too low, he couldn't tell his fortune, so he kept getting into trouble.
"Okay, don't cry. If I break your magic weapon, I'll pay you! Is eight thousand spiritual stones enough?"
Generally, high-level magic weapons are only worth one or two thousand, so he directly took out eight thousand spirit stones, which is enough to buy one or two top-level magic weapons!
Even if prices fluctuate in different places, at this stage of the Qi training period, spiritual stones are still hard currency.
Who would have thought that the wandering Taoist priest would still burst into tears, and his sadness did not seem to be fake.
"I am just playing in the human world to help mortals collect merits. This throwing of spiritual horns is a tool that I rely on to survive in Xiuxianfang City. I will become a waste for the rest of my life."
Lin Shan sighed helplessly: "Ten thousand spiritual stones, is it enough?"
"Senior wrongly blamed Xiao Lao. It's not about the lack of spiritual stone. This is the only high-level magic weapon my master gave me back then. Since the old man disappeared, I have never seen him again. Every time You can use this to see things and think about people.”
"Twenty thousand!"
"No. Thank you, senior!"
The wandering Taoist priest immediately stopped crying and smiled happily.
"You just said you had a master, tell me exactly what happened!"
Don't think that Lin Shan is generous, but in fact he is spending money to buy information, so that he can tell him what he wants to hear willingly, and paying for the magic weapon is the next best thing.
"You want to listen to my master? He is an incredible old man."
After receiving the money, the wandering Taoist priest immediately started chatting. Balabala told how forty years ago, when he was a down-and-out charlatan, he met a wandering Taoist who was playing games
When a fake fortune teller meets a real fortune teller, sparks are born.
The old Taoist Yun You saw that he was sharp-tongued, but the key was that he really had the "roots of divination and wisdom", so he specially taught him the immortal method, opened his spiritual awareness, and started on the path to immortality.
But later, despite his pleading, the wandering old Taoist still refused to take him with him, claiming that his cause and effect were too intertwined and he didn't want to be burdened by the world, so he left him here and left by himself.
Before leaving, I was afraid that he would not be able to survive in the world of cultivation, so I specially left divination props as a way of fulfilling my friendship between master and disciple.
"Then I started to hang out in the Bozhou cultivation world, telling fortunes for casual cultivators in the city on weekdays to earn some living expenses. Occasionally, men from a well-known cultivation family would send people to me to ask about the marriage of the young master and the young lady in the family. , you can make a little extra money.”
Most monks believe that "I have no control over my destiny," so fortune telling is not very popular in the world of cultivation, unless you have particularly good professional skills.
A guy like this is half-assed and sometimes ineffective, so naturally he can't accumulate much reputation.
However, based on his cultivation during his Qi training period, it would be natural for him to come to the mortal world without any disadvantages. Therefore, whenever people in the cultivation shop made mistakes in fortune-telling and were rejected, he would come to the mortal world to find fortune-telling by mortals to make up for his self-confidence.
This is the life of a low-level fortune teller.
Lin Shan listened to his description of his master, especially the many details, and vaguely felt as if he had heard it from two people before.
Ancestor Zuo Ning and Lu Que!
Both of them had met the same wandering Taoist priest. The former was directed to go to southern Xinjiang to search for the "Seven Evil Soul Locking Techniques", and the latter was directed to come to the State of Lu to search for ancient religions and find deer heads.
That wandering Taoist priest is very powerful, his ability is beyond imagination!
It's a pity that one of the two people is currently in the Kun religion of Chu State, and the other is seeking ancient religion in Lu State, and there is no way for him to call them over to ask.
But with the scarcity of divination cultivators in this world, he felt that the master mentioned by the person in front of him, even if it was not the one Zuo Ning and Lu Que had met, was probably related to each other, and might even be of the same origin!
"You haven't asked about the long road number yet?"
Lin Shan came to his senses, smiled and greeted politely.
The wandering Taoist priest in front of him quickly waved his hand:
"How dare you, how dare you? I have no father or mother since I was a child. Later, I lost a certain ability due to some things and was unable to marry and have children, so I simply became a Taoist. The master said that I could kill my parents, but I couldn't. To carry on the family line from generation to generation, I was given the title: Jue Juezi.”
"Jue Juezi?"
Lin Shan looked strange. This was the first time he heard of this shouting!
Don't tell me, it's so smooth.
"What about your master?"
"My master's name is Divination Operator."
This is very normal, and it is more than a hundred times more normal than the disciple’s Taoist name!
Lin Shan took out the bowl of talisman water and asked him where it came from.
"This is the diluted talisman water after the good luck talisman has been opened. After the fishermen drink it, they will increase their luck. They may return home with a full load, and they may also avoid wind and waves."
The Taoist priest Jue Juezi answered truthfully.
Seeing Lin Shan's curiosity, he took out a bunch from his package. It looked like there was quite a lot in stock!
"In the beginning, I did it simply to accumulate merit. I had no other ideas. Earning the three melons and two dates that ordinary people have is of little use to monks like me."
"But later I discovered that the copper coins earned through air transport were used to make divination instruments, and the effect seemed to be better than the original ones. I don't know if it was my imagination."
"Speaking of luck, senior, you are really lucky."
He couldn't help but think of the five copper coins Lin Shan gave him. If he took it back and made it into a magic weapon, would it be very effective?
"Huh? Can you see my luck?"
Lin Shan was shocked. It was the first time he met such a person and asked him to describe it.
Jue Juezi told the story of the big black chimney according to what he saw in his own eyes, and he hesitated, hesitated, and stopped talking.
"What else do you want to say?"
"Senior, you are so lucky, can you be the bad luck?"
"You're the bad guy! Can you speak?"
Lin Shan was immediately displeased, and his aura suddenly leaked out. The terrifying pressure was beyond what a little shrimp like him could bear, and he was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot!
"Senior, forgive me, junior, deserve to die, junior, deserve to die!"
Jue Juezi kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and his desire to survive was instantly heightened.
"Okay, get up."
Lin Shan looked at this stack of talismans, it really improved his luck!
"Did you do all this yourself?"
"Yes, the master only taught this."
Jue Juezi didn't dare to hide it, so he took out the talisman book for making good luck charms and showed it to him.
Lin Shan looked at it for a few times and was amazed, because the beginning of this talisman book talked about the principle of 'conservation of luck' in this world.
Some people are lucky, and some people are bound to be unlucky!
Then if you make this good luck charm and increase the luck of the fishermen, won't it mean that other people will be unlucky?
