Chapter 1655: Encounter on the Road

If you have a strong cultivation level, ride an official mount, and do not carry enough property to arouse greed, there will actually not be many accidents during the journey.

Starting from Jiangdu State, Zhang Xuezhou and Gongsun Hong galloped all the way north.

Apart from the spiritual practice which was noteworthy during this journey, there was almost nothing else that affected the two of them.

Until the two men rode their horses through Huainan and entered Liangdi.

"Have friends come from afar?"

The Sui Yang City post station that Zhang Xuezhou and others wanted to pass through was still more than thirty miles away. Yao Yuanguang, who had been away for more than a month, kept waving at Zhang Xuezhou from a hundred meters ahead.

"It's my pleasure!" Gongsun Hong responded briefly and then asked Zhang Xuezhou, "Your friend?"

"He's not a friend," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "He's just an old fortune teller who's well-informed!"

"It is rare for a fortune teller to live to this age," Gongsun Hong said, "It seems that he is a real master!"

Gongsun Hong was sitting on his horse and looking from afar. He saw that Yao Yuanguang had an old face, long gray hair and beard, and looked quite otherworldly, which made him praise him.

You can get the first impression by looking at a person. If a person has a good figure, appearance and temperament when he is old, this person must have a self-disciplined mentality, and his abilities and achievements will not be too bad.

Although Zhang Xuezhou jokingly mentioned that the other party was an old fortune teller, Gongsun Hong felt that it was just a joke. If he believed it seriously, it would be a waste of all the years he had spent.

"It's not easy for him to meet you here by chance," said Gongsun Hong.

"How many days have you been waiting?" Zhang Xuezhou asked Yao Yuanguang casually.

"It's already nine days including today!"

Yao Yuanguang was an expert in physiognomy, but he was not always able to predict everything.

Moreover, he was able to accurately predict that Zhang Xuezhou would come to the Northern Border. This was not just a deduction based on physiognomy, but more of a guess based on what Pilan had revealed.

"Sir, you are awesome!"

Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to prove that Yao Yuanguang was not as powerful as Gongsun Hong imagined, and he did not deliberately intercept him.

But Yao Yuanguang admitted it honestly, and Gongsun Hong felt that he was too amazing.

Zhang Xuezhou thought about it and realized the difference between himself and Gongsun Hong in their concepts.

In the physiognomy that Zhang Xuezhou agrees with, if you want to intercept someone, you must time it accurately, with one party arriving just in time and the other party intercepting successfully. This kind of physiognomy that is accurate to the minute is the top level of physiognomy.

But in Gongsun Hong's opinion, being able to wait here nine days in advance was already an extraordinary feat of physiognomy.

He bowed towards Yao Yuanguang, obviously wanting to meet this extraordinary person.

"Where did this guy come from? I've never seen you run with him before."

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou rein in his mount and jump off to meet him, Yao Yuanguang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"You are not good at physiognomy, just test it directly," Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"How can I have that ability?" Yao Yuanguang said in a low voice with a headache: "I know that you leaked the information to the north or to Pilan!"

"But I didn't tell Bilan that he was coming to the North," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"She secretly read your official documents and knew that you were looking for Li Shaojun. You must have passed through Suiyang when you were looking for someone in the north with official documents. This is also the area where Li Shaojun often moves around." Yao Yuanguang whispered, "It's not hard to guess!"

"Pilan is really good at selling information," Zhang Xuezhou whispered.

"Do you want my uncle to help you find the way?" Yao Yuanguang asked in a low voice.

"No need, someone has already given me some pointers!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand to refuse, indicating that Yao Yuanguang's trick was useless and there was no way he could easily obtain information about the secret place of the Holy Mother Wu Dang from him.

He is not Pilan, and he is not that easy to fool.

"Brother, you are a handsome man, and it seems that you are the noble man who can guide my friend!" Yao Yuanguang whispered a few words to Zhang Xuezhou, and then turned to the old man who was friendly and a little flattering.

Yao Yuanguang had not taken Gongsun Hong seriously before, but since he could help Zhang Xuezhou in finding Li Shaojun, the other party must be someone important or equally capable.

Being able to hang out with Zhang Xuezhou, the other party must be more or less related to the imperial court, but Yao Yuanguang had indeed never seen a person like Gongsun Hong before.

He made a polite remark, which made Gongsun Hong deny it.

“I dare not,” Gongsun Hong waved his hands repeatedly and said, “It’s rare to meet a great fortune teller. You are the noble one who shows me the way!”

"It seems that you have some doubts that are difficult to resolve," Yao Yuanguang said.

"That's right," Gongsun Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, you can tell fortunes, please tell me if I can live a better life!"

"Oh!"

After just a few brief words, Yao Yuanguang knew that the old man was most likely a down-and-out official who was squeezed out of the court by Chang'an City.

Gongsun Hong wore a Confucian robe and was knowledgeable and accomplished. There were not many great Confucian scholars like him.

If the other party was not an unknown person in Chang'an City, it would not be difficult for Yao Yuanguang to guess the other party's identity based on this information.

"Physiognomy cannot help those who are not destined to be together." Yao Yuanguang waved his hand and refused: "Whether you can live a good life in this life does not depend on my physiognomy. It is useless to know it in advance!"

"If the great fortune teller can predict that my grandson will be able to enter the upper class in the future, then I will work hard to make it. If the future is bleak, I will give up and retire at home. I hope the great fortune teller can help me out of my pity!"

As time went by, Dong Zhongshu's gift was most likely delivered to Chang'an City.

Gongsun Hong knew very well that Dong Zhongshu would keep his promise, but he was indeed unsure about the future. It was hard to know whether he would be able to handle many things in the future and whether he could get what he wanted.

He was feeling anxious and wanted to find some peace of mind.

It's rare to meet a fortune teller who is good at fortune telling, and he is also very old.

In Gongsun Hong's opinion, the older a fortune teller gets, the more powerful he is, and it is basically impossible for an unreliable fortune teller to live a long life.

The old man in front of him was older than himself and had a handsome figure. As long as Zhang Xuezhou was not joking, Gongsun Hong felt that he had met a rare fortune teller.

He was not shy about the issue of face at this time, he just wanted to read the face normally.

"You... you have a handsome appearance, and your forehead is in the shape of a blue dragon. You must have great talents but are not being used, and you are also attacked by villains in the same industry." Yao Yuanguang said casually: "People like you will surely soar to the top if they meet a wise leader. Even becoming a marquis or a prime minister will not be a problem!"

"This~"

Yao Yuanguang's words almost made Gongsun Hong's head so excited that his blood was engorged.

"Sir, what is the appearance of the Azure Dragon?" Gongsun Hong asked with excitement in his heart.

"Qing means green, and dragon means auspiciousness. You have a green villain blocking your way, making it difficult for you to soar across the seas, so your career is not going well." Yao Yuanguang said: "When the green fades, you will surely shine with the golden brilliance that a dragon should have, and then enter the temple!"

“This…ah…this…”

Gongsun Hong could hardly contain his joy.

If someone else said this, Gongsun Hong would have regarded it as flattery, but since it was said by a professional, the effect was completely different.

This was no different from the effect of what a doctor said to a patient. Gongsun Hong felt that he had to believe what the great fortune teller said.

He walked back and forth, while Yao Yuanguang pulled Zhang Xuezhou and walked a few steps, indicating that he was in urgent need of help.

"You didn't use physiognomy just now, don't you feel guilty for saying this casually?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.

"Saying a few more nice words won't hurt anyone," Yao Yuanguang said, "I can help him regain his confidence in life!"

"You are right!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied to Yao Yuanguang in a sullen tone. He felt that the other party was a real liar, and they were lucky that they were not killed outright.
