The years when I was an old man

When I walked out of Lanhua Xiaozhu, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the door is full of traffic and high-end customers.

I lit a cigarette and walked forward silently.

He began to recall the details of his meeting with Sui Jiangwan, the master of the Orchid Sect, in his mind.

Spicy rabbit head and bamboo leaf green.

And that painting and calligraphy scroll.

And, what she told me about the past, the two people mentioned.

Thousand-handed jade fox Huo Yutong, Kanto gambling king Qin Sihai.

For some reason, the more I think about it, the more confused I become.

Suddenly, I remembered what Su Mei had said to me that night.

She said that the master of the Orchid Sect has long known of my existence.

At the same time, Su Mei also told me not to believe anyone's words easily, including the master of Orchid Sect.

For a while, I was a little confused.

Why did Su Mei say that?

And what reason does the Lanhua sect master lie to me?

I always have a feeling of being trapped in an invisible net.

No, I have to find a way to break free from this big net.

…………

One morning two days later.

Master Hong and I had breakfast and were about to go to the Taoist Temple to see the little Taoist August.

Over the past few days, August has been divination for many dignitaries.

These people were completely convinced by August.

It's just that Liu Jiafeng, the top leader of a certain bureau, has not heard from him for a long time.

We were just going downstairs when my cell phone rang suddenly.

I took it out and saw that it was Brother Yong calling.

As soon as he picked it up, he heard Brother Yong on the opposite side say directly:

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Liu Jiafeng entrusted someone to go to the Taoist temple at ten o'clock this morning. She wants to find the Taoist priest to tell her fortune. You should go to the Taoist temple to have a look. Don't show any flaws!"

I agreed and hung up the phone.

Qing Xuan Guan.

It was originally a declining Taoist temple in Fengtian.

There were a few little Taoist priests in it before.

But because there is no incense to worship all the year round.

Several little Taoist priests also ran away without a trace.

Now August [-]st comes, plus my packing plans.

At this time, in the Qingxuan Temple, the incense began to flourish.

Master Hong and I deliberately chose to enter through the back door.

When we arrived at the room where August lived, neither of us knocked on the door, just pushed the door open and went in.

As soon as he entered, August was obviously startled.

He immediately got up from his chair.

When he saw it was us, he stroked his heart and complained to us:

"I said, are you polite? Why don't you knock when you come in?"

I ignored him and just glanced at him casually.

He saw several small dishes on the table in front of him.

There are chicken racks, peanuts, and two hot dishes.

There is also a bottle of old snow on the table.

The DVD player opposite is playing a famous movie in Xiangjiang, "The Jade Futon: The Jade Heart Sutra".

"You're having a good time, aren't you?"

Master Hong held a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

With great interest, he watched the DVD.

August smiled, showing her small white teeth, and said:

"I'm finally living a good life for a few days. You don't know, the days I lived before were starving and precarious. Hey!"

Saying that, August shook his head and sighed.

"The person who asked you to count, arrives at ten o'clock. You prepare. Don't make any mistakes..."

August drank the remaining beer in the cup in one gulp.

Wiping his mouth with the cuff of his Taoist robe, he said:

"Don't worry. I'll fool her so hard that I can't find Bei..."

Looking at August, I couldn't help but secretly smile.

This fake Taoist doesn't hide anything from me.

"How about this, you two will accompany me to the main hall in a while, and you will listen in the room. If I didn't say anything, you can secretly send me a message. How about it?"

Just to be safe, that's the only way to do it.

The main hall of Qingxuan Temple is actually not that big.

There are several golden statues of celestial masters enshrined inside.

There is a special tea table on the side.

The most inward place is a side room where everyday things are placed.

Master Hong and I hid inside, and we could see everything that happened outside.

But people outside can't see inside.

At ten o'clock, Liu Jiafeng walked into the hall with a young man.

At this time, August sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Liu Jiafeng walked up to her and said cautiously:

"Xiandao, I'm Liu Jiafeng who made an appointment with you in advance. I don't know if Xiandao has time, can you give me some pointers?"

August still closed her eyes, and said slowly:

"Report your birthday!"

Liu Jiafeng immediately told her the time of birth.

August didn't open her eyes, she moved her two fingers slightly, muttering something.

After a while, he said slowly:

"Guisi Rizhu is a fellow of Luma, and has the appearance of a prosperous official career. Unexpectedly, the person who came today turned out to be a distinguished guest!"

After speaking, August opened his eyes and took a look at Liu Jiafeng.

Liu Jiafeng smiled obsequiously, and hurriedly said:

"In front of the master, I dare not praise you. Today, I want the master to help me see..."

Before the words could be uttered, August raised her hand and interrupted Liu Jiafeng.

"Most distinguished guests like you are seeking official seals. But I took a look at your face. What you are asking for today is not an official, but something else?"

In a word, Liu Jiafeng was surprised when he said it.

She didn't expect it, and she didn't wait for herself to speak.

August actually knew the purpose of her trip today.

"Let him retreat!"

August said something flatly to the man beside Liu Jiafeng.

The young man was very knowledgeable and immediately left the hall.

In the empty hall, only August and Liu Jiafeng were left.

Liu Jiafeng looked at August, and tentatively asked:

"Master, can you figure out what I'm asking for today?"

August had no expression on his face, and said two words:

"Marriage!"

Liu Jiafeng was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah, I'm here to seek marriage at my age, so I'm a bit embarrassed to say it. But I..."

Before she could say anything, August interrupted her again and said:

"One arrow attracts three days of rain, and one daughter needs three meals. Judging from your birth date, you should have been divorced twice. But this is nothing, your third marriage is still very happy!"

"is it?"

Liu Jiafeng asked excitedly.

August nods.

"Marriage is not far away, it's just around the corner! If you only want marriage today, it can be regarded as consummation. Go back..."

It must be admitted that this August is a master.

Liu Jiafeng felt a little regretful when he said that he should retreat to advance.

After all, who wouldn't want to chat with the legendary master if he could meet him?
