"Old man, my arm is broken"

"You are so young, you can't bear hardships like this"

"Old man, you cheated me, how many people have I pressed in the past two days?"

"Isn't this just opening to advertise?"

"Advertising can't be free, look at the other massage parlors in the community, they are almost eating us."

I was very annoyed and said that once Liu Laodao advertised for free, all the old men and women in the whole community came to massage for free, and they made me press from morning to night, even my superhuman physique couldn't bear it.

And we also offended our peers, we have free ones here, those old men and old ladies are not willing to spend money, resulting in no business for the other few in the past three days, and we have attracted countless stares when we go out, the key is that we don’t make money.

"We all rely on craftsmanship for a living. Don't you think that after three days, your craftsmanship has improved a lot?"

Liu Laodao continued to flicker, refusing to admit his mistakes at all, isn't this nonsense, after so many days, working with more than a dozen people every day, he has enough experience, and his skills can't improve.

"Old man, I remember you can also massage and massage, when you were in Qinghe Town"

"You remember wrongly, I'm not massage, it's for pushing the uterus and activating the blood, only young people can enjoy it, the elderly can't"

"Just keep cheating on me"

I was so angry that I was told to push the palace and activate the blood, so I was an idiot?

"Let me tell you a serious thing. After this wave of advertisements, your fame has spread, and I have also investigated it. Your craftsmanship is better than the others, so the matter of eating is temporarily resolved. Starting tomorrow, I will You have to go out, don't forget to practice at home, you know?"

Liu Laodao was too lazy to talk to me, and when he talked about serious business, opening a massage shop was just to solve the problem of eating, not as a livelihood. Our focus is still to find Mr. Qin.

It was within our expectation that Yao Tiejun didn't get news for a long time, so Liu Laodao still has to go out in person. He has to contact the Feng Shui masters in Yangcheng tomorrow to inquire about Master Qin's news.

"Old man, can you do it alone, or else, I'll go with you?"

I'm a little worried. Don't think it's a simple matter. It's actually very dangerous. Master Qin has been in Hong Kong and Guangdong for many years. No one knows which Feng Shui master is his friend, or even his fellow apprentice. If the news is accidentally exposed, it is possible to be ambushed on the spot. This is a very dangerous thing.

"No, I still have some experience in the world. You can rest assured that you just hurry up and practice yourself. Don't be lazy, you know?"

Liu Laodao shook his head, he had his own calculations in his heart, adding one person, on the contrary, it was a bit special and would be recognized by others.

"Okay, remember to bring the soul-killing needle with you. We don't have any magic weapons. If something happens, it's easy to suffer."

I nodded, I'm low now, it's okay to fool ordinary people, but if I really meet a master in the same industry, I may not be an opponent, so if you don't follow, don't follow.

But you have to bring the soul-killing needle. Speaking of which, Liu Laodao and I are really poor, and we don’t have a single magic weapon around us. If it’s someone else’s house, even if the ancestors don’t leave some treasures, they can still buy it with money. , unfortunately we have no money.

"Don't worry, those who are really capable can beat them without magic weapons"

At this point, Liu Laodao seemed extremely confident. He didn't have magic weapons when he was in the rivers and lakes, so he still made a big name.

Liu Laodao has already said this, so I will not talk nonsense. From the next day, Liu Laodao did not hang out with the old men and women in the community anymore, except in the morning of course.

These days, the old man is not just playing with them casually. The old man is not bragging about his skills in Tai Chi, fitness, health preservation, chess and other aspects. Do Tai Chi together.

But after breakfast, the old man changed into ordinary clothes, and then went out, just like the magic city, and started a life of going out early and returning late.

And I practiced at home to pick up customers. After the free period for the business of the massage parlor, the popularity naturally plummeted. However, the craftsmanship is here, and there are a few customers who will come to press it all day long.

Yao Tiejun is right. There are a lot of old men and old ladies in this community, and most of them are left with a lot of ailments due to some work reasons in the early years. Headaches, rheumatism, arthritis and so on are not uncommon. Press the right button every few days. It's an excellent way to relieve pain for them, and they have more money than ordinary people, and they can afford it.

As for the rest of the time, I basically spent my practice. After the ten-day meditation at the Dry Leaf Temple, I became a lot more introverted, and I was able to calmly face those jerky and difficult things. Just come back and ask the old man for advice.

The days passed day by day. After a period of preparation, Liu Laodao has already approached the local Feng Shui masters and met a few friends. However, these people's skills are not high, they belong to the low-end kind, and the real high-end The feng shui master is not ready yet.

The Buddhist and Taoist culture here in Yangcheng is particularly strong, so there are many people who believe in Fengshui and fate, and various Fengshui masters emerge in endlessly, so there is a saying of classification.

This kind of statement is divided by Feng Shui masters in private, mainly based on remuneration. The lowest level is the kind of fortune-telling stalls under the overpass. Those who are capable don't bother to play with them.

The ones at the next level open restaurants to pick up customers. Some of them stay at home, and some rent stores. Whether it’s fortune-telling or Feng Shui, they all have a certain reputation, and there are also repeat customers. The price of a sale is around 1000 to [-] yuan. This kind is also the mainstream, and Liu Laodao got in touch with these people.

And the more powerful ones are those who start a company. This kind of people live in no fixed place and have many followers around them. Most of the supporters are big bosses or some powerful people. They will be invited when any company opens, factories start, etc. Go and have a look, the price is at least tens of thousands of dollars.

And the master Qin we hunted down is a Feng Shui master of this level, so this kind of people is also the most difficult to determine their whereabouts. They have no shortage of customers, and they run around every day. If you don't show off, it will be difficult to integrate into this circle. The reason is naturally that you are afraid of being robbed of your business.

According to them, there are only so many rich bosses, and one more person will share an additional market share. The so-called peers are like enemies, and they will not easily lead people into this industry. Even if you are as capable, you need to slowly suffer Become famous.

On top of this, there are first-level Fengshui masters, who claim to be great masters of the country, and they are even more mysterious. They claim that they can use Fengshui to affect the luck of a place, a province, or even the whole country. They just talk about dragon veins, national luck, etc. Yes, of course, all legends at this level are half true and half false.

Those who dare to use such a name are either daring liars, or they have real talents and knowledge, and they have learned the top level of Feng Shui. No one knows exactly how, and Liu Laodao didn't find out clearly.

But he knows that this kind of person cannot be hired casually. Once you make a move, there is no one with 80 yuan. They will ignore you at all, so the water at this level is very deep. Dare to step on it lightly, because too much involvement will lead to death.

Liu Laodao is doing his work, and I am not idle, I am constantly accumulating my own strength, but I am occasionally bored during the day.

"Xiaobai, come out for dinner"

The community has good greenery, so it also caused some stray dogs and cats to gather. It is said that they had bitten people before, so they were cleaned up several times, but now there are very few.

Once when I was taking out the trash, I saw a white puppy. It was an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog. Its eyes were very spiritual, so I started feeding it with leftovers.

But it is very vigilant and afraid of people, so it took me several days to gain its trust. At noon, I would bring leftovers to feed it.

After I knocked on the trash can, a gray puppy appeared. This guy was a little dirtier than the previous few days, and the original white fur had turned gray.

Xiaobai slowly approached the leftovers, eating carefully, I wanted to reach out to touch it, but halfway through, it started baring its teeth and growling.

"You have no conscience, how many days have I been feeding you?"

When I saw it like this, I immediately became upset. I didn't dare to gamble. In case of being bitten, injections would cost a lot of money, so I had to swear, then turned around and left.

But soon, something unexpected happened to me. Before I took two steps, I saw Xiaobai rushing past me. The target was a car about 30 meters away from me. No, it was in the car. The person who came down was a glamorous woman.

Xiao Bai rushed to the woman, wagging his tail desperately, looking very happy, and kept throwing himself on the woman, as if he was looking for a hug.

"Ah, what a dirty dog, husband, please help me!"

However, the woman screamed, her voice was extremely high-pitched. When a strong man got off the driver's seat saw it, he rushed over and kicked Xiao Bai away, leaving a howl in the air.
