Chapter 3835 Six taels of gold
Not far away, a young woman came to the river with a bucket on her shoulders and said in a low voice: "The gods will not lie to us mortal money, for them, mortal money is useless, even if we sell our city It doesn't help them either."

Hearing what the woman said, Lu Yin nodded and took a sip of his drink: "Yes, mortals and heaven and man are too far apart." He said with emotion, looking at the young woman: "Then I will help you do the math for free. How about it? Anyway, you won't suffer."

The young woman looked at Lu Yin suspiciously, then lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Lu Yin didn't force it, the raft continued to drift, the river flowed very slowly, and the dense aquatic plants on both sides were like a green bridge, connecting the two sides.

Weeds hindered the raft from drifting.

Lu Yin didn't push it away either, and let the raft float in place, sleeping.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft sound came to his ears, and he opened his eyes to look.

It was the young woman, beating the raft with a bamboo pole, looking at herself.

"It's getting dark, why don't you leave? Our city has a curfew, if you are seen, you will be in trouble."

Lu Yin was puzzled: "There are still cities with curfews?"

"You go quickly."

"But I haven't told my fortune yet."

The young woman was helpless: "No one believes you, so go."

Lu Yin smiled and looked at the young woman: "Girl, you have a good heart."

The young woman was taken aback, and looked at Lu Yin strangely: "I should be older than you."

"Don't you know that heaven and man can stay young forever?" Lu Yin smiled.

The young woman envied: "Heaven and man are so kind."

"Do you want to be a man of the day?"

"No."

"Why? You can stay young forever, and you can leave this city without being disturbed by the curfew. You can go to heaven and earth, and do whatever you want."

The young woman glanced at the gray-white stone house not far away: "My children and husband are here, and I want to be with them."

Lu Yin smiled lightly: "You are very happy."

"Thank you, you'd better go, no one will believe you." The young woman said something, and then left with the barrel in her arms.

Lu Yin looked at her back: "Can you do me a favor?"

The young woman turned her head and wondered, "Pull your raft here?"

"Write a word, write it anywhere, even on the ground."

The young woman shook her head: "I can't read."

"Write whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

The young woman thought for a while, picked up the branch, and wrote two strokes on the ground - "ten".

"My son seems to have written this word." After finishing speaking, he left, and it was getting dark.

Lu Yin looked at the word on the ground, so it's like this, you don't have to know the meaning of the word when writing, it can also be written for someone or something, the meaning is not important.

She could obviously write "one" to save trouble, but she added an extra sum. This sum is the love for her son and the warmth for this family.

Looking at the gray-white stone house, Lu Yin swept his consciousness and eliminated the diseases on the young woman, her husband and son: "I wish you a long life."

The water and grass separated, the bamboo raft continued to drift, and Lu Yin didn't know where the destination was. For a cultivator, this city is very small and can be walked through in one step, but for ordinary people, it is very large. From one end of the city to the other It takes a day to walk at one end, or at least a day and a half if you walk around the river.

However, this river not only flows in this city, but also connects to another city. Dozens of cities are on the ground, but in the eyes of practitioners, they are just gravel. A city, such a city is too small in this Eternal Heaven and Earth.

"Hello, hello."

Not long after drifting, someone shouted in the darkness.

Lu Yin looked at him, and there was no difference between day and night: "I knew you would come to me."

The person who called out was an old woman with a sallow complexion and cloudy eyes, but she had a shrewdness that did not match her appearance.

Hearing Lu Yin's words, the old woman's eyes flickered: "Calculated?"

"It can be seen."

"I don't believe it, you can really tell fortunes?"

Lu Yin said leisurely: "Believe it or not."

The old woman looked at the words on the bamboo cloth strips, believing it or not, she had to believe it or not, and was a little hesitant.

Lu Yin didn't bother.

The old woman gritted her teeth: "How do you charge?"

Lu Yin laughed: "Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

"Then why still count?"

"The old woman has lived her whole life, and she wants to live clearly. I don't ask you to count into the future. I just hope that I can see the past clearly."

Lu Yin understood: "It's not about fortune, it's about heart."

"Tell me, how to charge."

"Six taels of gold."

The old woman's body shook, and she looked at Lu Yin in horror: "You, you?"

Lu Yin closed his eyes and took a leisurely sip of his drink.

"How did you know?"

"Say, how do you know?"

The old woman is in a hurry. She has saved six taels of gold in her life. To be honest, for a person of her age, six taels of gold is enough for old age, so she hides it very carefully and only looks at it every other year. The last time It was half a year ago, how could this person know?Even if you stare at yourself, it's impossible to stare at him for half a year, just for six taels of gold?

She saw that Lu Yin's gaze changed, and she felt like seeing ghosts and gods.

"Do you still believe it now?" Lu Yin asked back, he naturally saw it through cause and effect.

The old woman swallowed her saliva, knelt down and kowtowed: "Please help me, please help me, please help me..."

Lu Yin waved his hand, and the breeze lifted the old woman up.

The old woman's body was out of control, and the awe of Lu Yin in her heart became heavier.

"My fee is six taels of gold. I've already said it. Would you like it?"

The old woman stared blankly at Lu Yin, six taels of gold, six taels of gold, that was all her net worth, how could she be willing to give it to this person, how would she live?What about the hard work of the first half of life?
She shook her head, subconsciously, unwilling to give.

Lu Yin looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Look, isn't there an answer?"

The old woman was puzzled at first, then her eyes widened, she stared blankly at Lu Yin, yes, the answer, yes, six taels of gold, this is the result of her hard work in the first half of her life, it is her everything, everything revolves around this six taels of gold, At this moment, the experience of the first half of her life kept flashing, every picture contained gold, she was working for gold, she was working for herself, and everything else had nothing to do with her.

Neighborhood disputes, war chaos, nothing to do with her.

I don't want to get married because I don't want my hard work to be shared by another person.

Looking back on my life, there is no second person.

She was limp on the ground, at this moment, she was sober, but also old.

For the six taels of gold, she forgot everything, so she was confused, and wanted to find the answer through fortune-telling, but this answer also made her despair.

Lu Yin looked at the old woman sympathetically: "A mortal's life is only a hundred years, and there are many things worth remembering, but you only have those six taels of gold. It's sad and lamentable."

The old woman smiled wryly, lying on the ground: "It's sad, sad, ridiculous."

"Pay me six taels of gold, you can live a long life, and you can go for another 30 years."

The old woman is seventy this year. In her mind, she is not long to live, and at most she has a few years to live. Now that she hears that she can live for 30 years, she is naturally moved, but the reward is six taels of gold, which is equivalent to using the first half of her life to buy her. The rest of my life, is it worth it?She was lost.

Lu Yin was not in a hurry, just waited slowly.

He didn't let the old woman write, and he didn't need to write. Words, in her heart, were "money".

Words do not necessarily have to be written.

After a long time, the old woman raised her head and looked at Lu Yin: "Old woman, yes."

Lu Yin looked at her and smiled.

The old woman stood up tremblingly: "The old woman will hand over six taels of gold to the heaven and man, and hope that the heaven and man will make it happen."

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a liar?"

The old woman turned her back to Lu Yin, and said in a low voice, "If you can't buy the first half of your life in a few years, or decades, what's the point?"

Lu Yin looked at the back of the old woman: "No need."

The old woman turned her head and looked at Lu Yin puzzled, "What do you mean by heaven and man?"

Lu Yin said: "Six liang of gold is nothing more than sand to me. It is better that this current can take me adrift. You have already got the answer. I will give you 30 years of life. Enjoy it." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, The old woman was blown by the wind, and her body blinked back to her own house. The original heaviness in her body disappeared, as if she had returned to decades ago.

Excited, she bowed in the direction of the river: "Thank you, Heaven, thank you, Heaven..."

Lu Yin withdrew his gaze, picked up the cup, and stared at it.

The first half of life, the second half of life, a few words changed the life of this old woman, and also changed the understanding of her by the people around her.

She saw herself clearly.

So, what about yourself?Looking back on the first half of my life, cultivating, fighting, fighting, staying away, thinking back, I am very tired.

If you are tired, you should relax.

Lu Yin let the raft drift, this world of mortals is really good.

He always felt as if he was making up for something, but couldn't tell.

At the moment when the old woman was willing to donate six taels of gold, beside the lotus pond in Yehai, Qinglian Shangyu looked at Eternal Heaven and Earth with her hands behind her back, with a smile on her lips: "It's really fast, so how much can you steal in the end?"

...

The city became lively, and many people came to Lu Yin for fortune-telling because of the old woman's propaganda.

Lu Yin didn't refuse either. Those who came were predestined. These people heard the propaganda, believed it, and came. This is a predestination and a cause and effect.

"Let's write."

"Don't read palmistry?"

"Just read the words."

"What's so good about words." Although muttering, this person still wrote, a word "heart", which has a somewhat unpredictable meaning.

Lu Yin looked at the man: "You wrote this word to embarrass me."

"I just want to write this word."

"I wrote the word "heart" on purpose. You didn't write it because of randomness, but because of the meaning that this word represents. No one can see through people's hearts, but I can. Go back and tell your master. You can get it in 30 years. I gave it to her. 30 years of life, if you want to take it in advance, don't blame me for being rude." After speaking, he waved his hand, and the man disappeared.

People around are amazed, what about people?

Lu Yin's expression remained unchanged, that person was ordered to cause trouble just now, because they took a fancy to the old woman's six taels of gold, and they could only get it after the old woman's death. Who would have thought that Lu Yin would let the old woman recover, they couldn't be more angry , wanting to cause some trouble, but dare not go too far.

After all, they are heaven and man.

So I deliberately wrote the word "heart" to make Lu Yin look bad and force him to leave the city.

Some people write because of others, and some people write because the meaning of the words themselves are different.
