Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 77 Drawing two lots, mixed joys and sorrows
Shi Wangchen walked closer and saw Brother Xu looking at the blind old Taoist in a trance, and asked in a low voice: "Is he an acquaintance of yours?"

Xu Yuanchang's eyes immediately returned to calmness, and he reached out and pulled out a stick from the bamboo tube.

The whole body of the bamboo stick is dark red and old, with a layer of patina formed over time. It is different from ordinary sticks. It is about a foot long and shaped like an arrow. The bottom is tapered and rounded, and the front and back are inscribed with mysterious runes that cannot be understood. .

He handed the bamboo stick to Taoist Master Yanshan and said loudly: "Taoist Master Gu, could you please help me take a look at this sign?"

The old Taoist priest fumbled with the symbols on the sign with his fingers, a comfortable smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Congratulations, guest, for signing the sign, 'The icing on the cake is more colorful, and the luck of the fortune and horse will bring happiness to both'. It will be there within three days." Double happiness, all your wishes come true."

Xu Yuanchang laughed and said: "According to your auspicious words, Taoist Master, if there is a double happiness within three days, I will come with a generous gift to thank you."

He took out three copper coins and handed them to the old Taoist.

The movement here immediately attracted many passers-by to stop and watch the excitement.

Taoist Master Yanshan responded confidently: "Don't worry, sir, it will definitely work. I am waiting to receive your reward."

Xu Yuanchang stood up and smiled at Shi Wangchen: "Lao Shi, draw a lot. We are going out to do something this time. We are not sure yet. If you believe it, it will work. It only costs three cents. It is not expensive."

Shi Wangchen chuckled and knelt down, casually picked out a bamboo stick, handed it into the hands of the old and blind Taoist Master Yanshan, and said, "Excuse me for interpreting the stick. You have to tell the truth, and you are not allowed to lie."

The old Taoist priest was so happy that he received two orders of business at once. Today, he had enough money for plain noodles. He said, "You must be telling the truth. You can understand whatever you see."

He fumbled with his fingers for a long time, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Shi Wangchen knew that the lottery was not good, so he said: "You can tell the truth, but you will lose three cents."

"Your Majesty, you have won the lottery. 'I found the pearl under Li Long's chin, but suddenly lost it and fell into the water.' It's a sign of finding and losing again. Flowers in the mirror and the moon on the bottom of the sea. Within three days, you can't force anything." , it’s better to just go with the flow.”

The old Taoist priest warned carefully.

Shi Wangchen smiled and took out the three cents and handed it to the old Taoist priest. He didn't take it seriously, he just sold it to Brother Xu to save face.

Xu Yuanchang did not wait long, and walked side by side with Shi Wangchen in the busy city, saying in a low voice: "I had a three-way relationship with the ancient Taoist priest before. This Taoist priest's fortune telling was quite effective, and he helped me solve a problem once, but He doesn’t remember me anymore, after all, he has to face so many people every day.”

Now Taoist Master Yanshan only has his instincts left, and he is thinking about how to help.

We can't do anything wrong, and we can't let others know that the blind old Taoist is an expert who has gone through tribulations, so as not to ruin Lao Tao's affairs.

He didn't know much about it. He had heard that when a monk reaches a certain level of cultivation, at least if he reaches the realm of Qi Transformation, he will face different calamities of life and death. If he fails to survive the calamity, it will really be in vain, and his body and soul will disappear.

He still owes the old Taoist priest three hundred spirit coins, so the current time is definitely not right.

Shi Wangchen smiled and said: "There are strange people in the mortal world, but mortal flesh and blood cannot bear the 'lack' of revealing the secrets of heaven. We monks believe in fate, but disobey it. As the saying goes, 'when you swallow a golden elixir, you will know it.'" I can't control my destiny. I don't know when I want to achieve the golden elixir path."

After talking about it, his expression was full of longing and longing.

Xu Yuanchang glanced back and saw the old Taoist stall was crowded with spectators, and some were drawing lots.

He smiled and already thought of a way to help the old Taoist priest.

It's easy to do and leaves no trace.

The two of them turned to the hillside in the north of the city and walked into the oddly named Ji Fei Alley. Shi Wangchen changed his appearance and raised his hand to say hello to a big white goose with its head held high.

The big white goose responded "Goose" twice and swaggered to the other end.

Shi Wangchen pushed open the heavy wooden door of "Jinji Old Store" and shouted: "Zhang Pingfeng, Du Yinyin, you have friends coming from afar, why don't you come out to pick them up?"

"Why is that freeloader Lao Shi here again?"

"Close the door, close the door quickly."

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard shouting and shouting, and a man and a woman came out with a smile.

The tall and thin man looked at Xu Yuanchang, who was carrying a bamboo box, and asked with a smile: "The little brother is very cool, is the black shop recruiting new people again?"

Shi Wangchen put away his cynical expression and said seriously: "This is Brother Xu Yuanchang. He has been with Heiji Inn for more than four months. I am his guide. Please give me your support and care." He also introduced two more demon hunters. Friend to Xu Yuanchang.

With the newcomer present, the two restrained themselves from overly joking.

After greeting each other, the group walked inside. Entering Juyi Hall, Xu Yuanchang met shopkeeper Jin Buhuanjin, Lei Gongchong and others.

The demon hunters in the world are all members of the same family. Of course, there are relationships between close relatives and distant relatives, and those with similar temperaments will naturally get closer.

The tall and thin man and the woman named Du Yinyin helped Shi and Xu live in an exclusive compound with no shortage of housekeepers, servants, and maids. Xu Yuanchang was not familiar with everyone, so he did not go to join Lao Shi. Reminiscing with friends.

He opened the bamboo box in the backyard garden, took out a red willow branch, and inserted it into the corner of the pool.

Liu Xianfeng jumped up to the courtyard wall and looked outside for a moment. There were no bean sprouts and ingots here, and she was not familiar with the place. She felt a little melancholy and jumped back to the small red willow tree. She disappeared and practiced quietly.

She encountered a big battle with Jie Xiu on the road and received targeted guidance from Lao Shi. She gained a lot from experience.

In the evening, Xu Yuanchang went to the restaurant outside to attend the dust-washing banquet, which was a lively event.

The second day is the last day of August.

Xu Yuanchang followed Shi Wangchen into the Baijisi Yamen on the top of the mountain, carrying a bamboo box on his back, and came to the treasure shop.

We agreed to buy a suitable magic weapon for Liu Xianfeng. After shopping around, Lao Shi carefully selected a green pantyhose and a dark green bracelet. It took a lot of time to refine and reduce the size. When used together, it can enhance the protective effect of Liu Xianfeng and the magical effect of Wood Elements.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any stick weapons or wooden swords that I wanted, so I picked a bottle of second-level poisonous powder from "Lianchen Muwu", which was suitable for Liu Xianfeng to secretly use against the enemy.

A total of four hundred and twenty spiritual coins were spent. Liu Xianfeng was happy and muttered after receiving the treasure, saying "it's too expensive."

After leaving the Baijisi Yamen, Shi Wangchen took Xu Yuanchang down the mountain and visited Qingyi Garden in the south of the city. It is the gathering place for Jietian City's casual cultivators. There is a shop inside that sells or buys cultivation resources and items.

"Old Mo, Brother Xu, come over here."

There were many monks gathered on the pool corridor in the distance. One of them raised his hand to say hello. It was Qi Zaixing who had left alone the day before yesterday.

There were seven or eight other people who knew Lao Mo and Xu Yuanchang, all of whom were casual cultivators from Qingping City.

Shi Wangchen walked over with a smile and greeted everyone one by one, saying: "We put it up today, there are a lot of things." He then explained to Xu Yuanchang: "During the black market, monks are allowed to set up stalls here to sell trading items."

Lao Qi also set up a small stall selling miscellaneous unused talismans, medicinal powders, books and other items.

Xu Yuanchang chatted with Lao Qi for a few words. He couldn't figure out the relationship between Lao Qi and Shi Wangchen. They both liked to pretend to be Qi realm casual cultivators and hang out among casual cultivators. Maybe they had shady purposes?

The two of them tacitly did not mention Shu Fang, pretending that the incident never happened.

Shi Wangchen is easygoing, likes to make friends, chats everywhere, and occasionally picks up items from other people's stalls to look at them. He laughs constantly wherever he goes. He is a lively person.

Monks came one after another to set up stalls or select items.

Xu Yuanchang looked all the way, looking more at the things on the stall than touching them.

This is not a black market, but the same quality is not guaranteed.

Being able to pick up leaks is more about making holes.

I heard Shi Wangchen's angry voice coming from the other side: "Your Excellency, this is too overbearing. Mo Mou is obviously interested in this item, and the price has been agreed upon. It's against the rules for you to interfere like this."

"Isn't the rule at the street stall that the highest bidder gets it? Why are you so poor and verbose? You can go somewhere to cool down."

A young man's voice was full of disdain and arrogance.

Xu Yuanchang was startled and hurriedly ran over there.

He did not dare to be careless about the fortune-telling given by Taoist Master Yanshan.

I had a premonition that something was going to happen and had to stop it in time.

The jargon is "breaking".
