Masterful appearance

() The room fell into silence. Yue Leiting and Huo Qian never expected that Xiao Lianshan, who was in his early twenties, had not only experienced the baptism of war, but also had such a tortuous story. The enemy's soldiers and people on the road are especially respected, and those who have gone to the battlefield and experienced life and death always have a particularly deep understanding of loyalty.

"Lian Shan, then why did you go to the labor market and meet Liu Hao?" Huo Qian asked.

Chu Tianci patted Xiao Lianshan's hand to calm him down.

"I took him there."

"By the way, I always forgot to ask how you and Lian Shan met?" Yue Lei Ting cast his eyes on Chu Tianci.

"I came out of the mountains, I didn't know anything, I wanted to find something to do to fill my stomach, I didn't have a place to live at night, so I squatted under the overpass, and this kid was lying there, trembling all over. When I touched his forehead, it was horribly hot." , his lips were dry and cracked, I found water to feed him, and there was only half a piece of bun left on my body, and I broke off a small piece for him to eat. Because of his fate, I found Yatuocao and other herbs in the grass under the overpass, boiled the medicine for him, and he woke up after a day and a night."

Xiao Lianshan smiled at Chu Tianci feelingly.

"I finally came back from the border, but I couldn't go home. They said that the coastal areas were developing fast and there was food to eat, so I climbed on the train and planned to go to Guangdong Province, but when I woke up, I found that... I took the wrong direction and ran to the Yuzhou, hehe."

Everyone in the room laughed along with Xiao Lianshan, Chu Tianci also shook his head with a wry smile.

"Call my brother when you wake up. I'm embarrassed. Anyway, I can have more than one company. I'll take him to the labor market and meet Liu Hao. You all know the rest."

"Hahaha, this is fate. You two brothers have this fate. When you met in the vast sea of ​​people, Tianci first saved Lian Shan, and later Tianci had appendicitis. Lianshan went to ask Liu Hao to save Tianci. This is karma, God-send planted A good cause bears a good fruit in the end." Yue Lei Ting smiled happily.

Huo Qian sat next to Chu Tianci and asked seriously.

"Tianci, there are some things I've always wanted to ask you, but I don't know if it's convenient."

"Brother Qian, just ask if you have anything."

"I think you are only in your 20s, but you are unmatched in numerology. I also know a little bit about it. I know that Fengshui and numerology count as a beginner for decades, and some people can spend their whole life with no success. There are very few people like you who can truly tell things straight and tell things like a god, but how can you be so proficient at such a young age, who is your teacher?"

"Nobody taught me that!"

"No... No one taught you?" Huo Qian was even more surprised. "Then how do you know these profound things?"

Chu Tianci also shook his head blankly and answered sincerely.

"Actually, I have always wanted to know the answer to this question. Since I can remember, I really want to know this. When a person walks in front of me, I can clearly see the zodiac sign on his face, and I can calculate it naturally in my mind. This person’s misfortunes and fortunes are endless. When I walk outside and look at the mountains and rivers, it becomes a layer of Fengshui in my eyes. I can tell whether Fengshui is good or bad by looking at any place. Looking at the stars in the sky at night, I can deduce the fortune and secrets. Very accurate."

Huo Qian stared at Chu Tianci dumbfounded for a long time before speaking.

"Teaching yourself without a teacher, do you have the talent in this area, but you say that you have acquired such profound and unpredictable knowledge since you were young, it is indeed incredible."

"Not only Fengshui and numerology, but also the five Taoist arts, mountains, medicine, fate, divination, and physiognomy. I have been involved in all the five Taoist arts. It's just that numerology and physiognomy are the most used, and the others are rarely used."

Huo Qian took a deep breath and looked at Chu Tianci again: "These are all derived from the Book of Changes, which covers time and space. Everything in the universe comes, summer goes and autumn comes, moon rises and sun sets, old age dies and young lives, etc. The scriptures are profound and difficult to understand, which can be called a divine book, and if you can glimpse one or two, you will be able to benefit endlessly. God-given, you can learn by yourself without a teacher, and you are so familiar with the five arts of Taoism, it is really amazing."

The nurse came in to change the dressing and untied the gauze in Chu Tianci's hand. The cut wound was about to heal. Huo Qian's eyes fell on Chu Tianci's middle finger.

"Tianci, the first day I saw you, I found that your middle finger was broken. The wound was chopped off neatly with a knife. Who did it?"

Chu Tianci looked at his severed finger and smiled miserably.

"My old man, because I didn't listen to him, he cut it up without saying a word."

"You...your father did it?"

Chu Tianci nodded.

"A tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring. Why is your father so cruel?"

Chu Tianci's eyes suddenly became soft and full of longing, and then he smiled weakly and said.

"The old man is an extremely withdrawn person. He talks very little. I can count the things I have said to him since I can remember. The children in the mountains don't go to school, and there is no money for you. The old man goes to his mountain every day to plan. He has one-third of an acre of land, and I spend almost all of my time in the old man's unknown library."

"Library?" Yue Lei Ting asked curiously.

"The old man's house has a mezzanine and there is a stone room inside. I thought I didn't know it, and he would go in every night after I fell asleep. In fact, I knew it a long time ago. It was a secret room built by the old man. There are all kinds of troubles in it. Such ancient books cover everything from astronomy to geography. I have always wondered why there is a room full of old men who drink from a big bowl, don’t wash their face and mouth, and rub their noses on their cuffs. Collection of books, and as long as he walks into this secret room, he is like a different person, gentle and refined, profound and unpredictable."

"I just said that Tianci's speech and behavior are quite elegant, so I learned it all from reading books, hahaha." Huo Qian smiled if he realized something. "The ability to appraise antiques must also be learned from these books."

Chu Tianci nodded and continued.

"In the remote mountains isolated from the world, I grew up slowly relying on these ancient books that were pushed like a mountain, and my life was barren and fulfilling, until I accidentally discovered another secret of the old man. The library is not too big or small. The books in it are completely new to me. They almost include the essence of Qimen, Gemyu, and Physiognomy. I seem to have read it somewhere in the dark, and I can almost never forget it. These books seem to be deliberately concealed by the old man, and I read them before I knew it and integrated them.”

"So...your father is also an expert in fortune telling?"

"He's still a master, hehe." Chu Tianci was very happy. "Except for farming, drinking, sitting at the entrance of the village and talking nonsense, I haven't done a single normal thing."

"What happened later?" Yue Lei Ting asked.

"One day when it was raining, the old man came back early and saw me flipping through these books. His temperament changed drastically. He dragged me out without saying anything. He chopped off my middle finger with a sickle and told me to get lost..." Chu Tianci said The look here is gloomy. "Give me nothing, throw me a necklace, let me never go back, and don't even leave me a reason."

When Chu Tianci finished speaking, he already had a simple and exquisite necklace in his hand. Huo Qian glanced at him and stood up dumbfounded, pointing at the necklace and speaking incoherently.

"Eight...eight dragons holding beads! Why do you have this...this necklace?"

"Brother Qian, do you know this necklace?!" Chu Tianci asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I have heard some rumors about this necklace."

"Huo Qian, you are usually a steady person, why are you so excited today? Tell me slowly, I want to hear it too." Yue Lei Ting patted his hand.

"This is the secret of Taoism. The Eight Dragons Holding Pearl Necklace is a sacred object of Taoism. It contains the essentials of the five Taoist arts and hiding. All the little-known secrets of Wushu, these all-encompassing essences and hide-and-seek are the authentic works that people who study Wushu flock to, and it is rumored that the true teachings in it can reach the sky and omnipotent.”

Yue Leiting took the necklace from Chu Tianci and looked at it repeatedly for a long time.

"Is there nothing in here?"

"It is said that this Eight Dragons Holding Beads Jade Ring Necklace is not a person looking for jade, but a jade looking for people. It will shine brightly, and the essence of the five arts will be passed on to this person." The more Huo Qian spoke, the more excited he became. "But these are just rumors, and no one has ever really understood it."

"Is it because of this necklace that I knew the five arts of Taoism since I was a child?" Chu Tianci said with a blank face.

"Tianci can learn without a teacher. It's hard to say that the five Taoist arts are profound and profound, and how can they be mastered in just a dozen years? Tianci has such an ability. It must be a coincidence that he solved the secret of the Eight Dragons Holding Pearls. Godsend! You You are the owner of this necklace, that's why you can master the five skills of hiding and hiding at such a young age."

Yue Leiting handed the necklace back to Chu Tianci and said happily: "Tianci, this is your good fortune, keep it well, if I can count everything like you, I will be so unhappy. If you want money, you want money. Quan has the right, at least...hehe, every bet is guaranteed to win, hahaha."

"Eight dragons embrace the pearl, seal the border and crack the soil, and all things in the country only recognize their master!" Huo Qian also nodded and continued. "This sentence has been rumored among Taoist disciples." It means that whoever gets and understands the secret inside the eight dragons holding the pearl, he will be enshrined as a prince and minister, and it is easy to crack the soil and become a king, even if everything in the world is single-handed in the grip. "

Chu Tianci said with a faint smile and said disapprovingly as he hung the necklace around his neck.

"It's all just rumors. I have never considered wealth as important. I don't force everything to be as it happens."
