Before I left, I had a cart and two horses, but when I came back, I only had one horse!
The old man also put his hands in his pockets and chuckled: "Your car was eaten before, you remembered wrong!"
"What about the horse?!" Gu Chen said speechlessly.
"You were eaten just now! Just when you were going out, wasn't it my turn to play chess?!"
"............"
Gu Chen was also speechless, good guy, this old man is no worse than himself in playing rogue! What about
’s talk of moral justice? !
bullshit!
Even though he knew that the old man had secretly taken away Gu Chen's chess pieces, he didn't say anything.
Even if there were only a few soldiers and one horse left, he would still fight the old man for dozens of rounds.
asked him to move a car and a horse, but he still couldn't win! In the end, in dozens of rounds,
was eaten up by Gu Chen's soldiers and most of the country was occupied. The air in
is very solemn. The old man
's defeat has been decided, and continuing is nothing more than a desperate struggle.
finally!
A fallen leaf fell melodiously from the tree and floated on the table. The
chess game is over! The old man
breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a little unwilling, he still lost after losing! Even if
cheats quietly, it still can't defeat him!
"Lost!" The old man shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Gu Chen held his hands and smiled jokingly: "You can still take a few more steps, but you give up so quickly?!"
"You can take a few more steps and still lose in the end, what's the point?!"
The old man raised his head and looked at the sky with a shameful smile: "This chess game is really enjoyable! Thirty years ago, an old friend and I also After playing chess like this for three days and three nights, I still lost to him! That guy's chess skills are somewhat similar to yours, but you are more flexible than him. I'm so old!"
"Thanks to my predecessor, I was lucky enough to win against you!" Gu Chen also said humbly with his hands folded.
"You!"
Suddenly Gu Chen was so humble. Wasn't this a slap in the face? !
"You knew that I secretly changed your chess piece, but you still said that I let you! Where can I put my old face?!" The old man said with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He spread his hands and chuckled: "Just change it, don't you still lose?!"
"I..."
What a boy!
doesn’t save any face!
"Go away! Go in and pick three things by yourself! Remember, only three items are allowed!" the old man said angrily.
"Tch! You have to see if I can take a liking to your treasures first. I have very high standards!"
"Just don't be scared!"
Gu Chen turned around and walked towards the door of the back room.
opened the door, and a burst of smoke and dust came.
choked him to tears!
"Damn! Can you be any more lazy? You don't even know how to clean up the house?!" Gu Chen said angrily, covering his nose.
But the old man leaned on the chair and enjoyed the sunshine: "I'm too lazy to even take a shower, let alone clean the house. If you can't stand it, just clean it for me!"
"..."
If there is a dubbing now, it should be accompanied by the dubbing of a string of crows flying over leaving ellipses.
good guys!
I said, hello, so this person can be so lazy? !
is an environment like this. Gu Chen really doesn't know what good things can be put in it, what things can catch his fancy.
As soon as you walk in, it feels like a study room in ancient times. It looks shabby on the outside, but it has a unique flavor inside. The front row of
was filled with various books. Gu Chen took out one at random and read it. It actually said "Three Thousand Types of Excellent Pills" written on it!
"What the hell, there are not three thousand kinds of high-quality elixirs and special elixirs, right?! Whoever wrote this book has no brains?!" Gu Chen said angrily.
But the old man outside the room snorted with disdain: "I wrote it! Those so-called first-grade elixirs you call are not worthy of my book! You may have never even heard of many of what I recorded!"
"Oh no! Who believes this? Just keep it and read it yourself, I won't take advantage of you. ! "The old man saw Gu Chen put the pill back and shook his head helplessly: "It's vulgar! What a good thing, what do you want?"
"You don't have much treasure here!" Gu Chen spread his hands and chuckled.
almost made the old man outside the door angry to death. There was nothing in this room that was not a top-quality treasure, but he didn't even take a fancy to it.
Gu Chen continued to walk inside and found various bottles and cans placed on the cabinet.
"Three Yang Pill!"
"Qingfeng Pill!"
"Great Return Pill!"
"Soul-Eating Pill!"
"Damn it, you refined all these pills?!"
Hearing the shock finally coming from inside the house In the voice, the old man laughed proudly: "Of course! You can only take one bottle of these pills!"
"These pills are worth tens of millions each. With these treasures, why are you stealing my pills?!" He said with a puzzled look.
As long as the elixir inside is real, it will be easy to sell one pill for hundreds or tens of millions.
What Gu Chen refined was only a first-grade elixir, but the ones placed here were special-grade elixirs, and their level had been raised to another level.
"Nonsense! You also said it was very expensive! How can I bear to eat it! Have you picked it yet? Come out as soon as you have picked it!" The old man said angrily while sitting on the chair.
Gu Chen ignored him and continued walking inside. He saw a small bottle on the table with Tianyuan Pill written on it!
This is a top-grade elixir that even Grandma Hua cannot refine. She has only seen records in books before.
It is said that taking this elixir can improve your skills for decades!
Just when Gu Chen was about to pick it up and open it to take a look, the old man's voice came from the door again.
"You are not allowed to take anything from the table!"
"Damn it! You know how to see through it?!" Gu Chen turned around and looked at the door and said angrily.
This old man has been sitting in that chair, and he is blocked by two cabinets in this room. How on earth does he know exactly what action he is doing? !
"You can't take anything, why did you let me in?! Are you playing?!" Gu Chen said angrily.
"There are several cabinets inside! Take a look!" the old man continued.
After hearing this, Gu Chen didn't say anything else, because the old man would look inside even if he didn't say anything.
came to a few cabinets in the back row and immediately noticed a knife inserted in the cabinet. The shape of
is similar to a butterfly, with double blades and a hidden buckle in the middle. It can be controlled with one hand or can be used with two hands.
"This is a good thing!"
He quickly took it off the cabinet, using half of it with his left and right hands, and waved it toward the corner of the table.
The next second, the bright light appeared, and a small piece fell off the corner of the table, and it was cut neatly with a knife!
"This is called the Double Moon Butterfly Knife, take it if you like it!"
"......"
He held it in both hands and waved it, then combined the two knives into one hand and waved it again.
Phew!
Phew!
There were waves of breaking wind coming from the air.
"It's so sharp!" Gu Chen looked at the butterfly knife in his hand, nodded slightly and smiled.
The old man outside the door stretched lazily: "Nonsense, it's made of meteorite, can it not be sharp?! I'll take a few of your elixirs, and that's enough for me?!"
"I agreed to pick three, and this is the same!"
Gu Chen continued to walk inside, but after looking around, he didn't see anything satisfactory.
Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he caught a glimpse of a box that the cabinet was staring at.
The box is very beautiful, but it is already covered with dust.
Gu Chen finally took it off from the top, but ended up eating a mouthful of dust.
"What the hell? It's still stuck with talisman paper!"
Upon hearing this, the old man sitting outside the door smiled faintly: "It's just a broken sword! I can't give you that sword!"
"Why?!"
"Because it's a broken sword, and you're just selling it for scrap metal!"
He didn't listen to the old man's nonsense. If it was really scrap metal that could be placed on it, and affixed with a piece of talisman paper? !
When he opened it, the sword light flashed into his eyes, and he couldn't help but squint.
The sword is indeed a good sword, but it's a pity that it broke into two pieces!
There are still some runes engraved on it. Although it has been covered in dust for a long time, Gu Chen can still feel the powerful sword energy.
He pulled out two hairs from the back of his head and gently threw them on the sword blade. They were immediately cut into two pieces.
"How long has this sword been there?!" Gu Chen took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the old man sitting outside the door and asked softly.
The old man sat on the Taishi chair and said with a smile: "It has been more than 20 years ago. Back then, a friend asked me to help her save someone. She was so poor that all she had was this broken sword. She said that if she met a suitable person in the future, she would give it to him! I just kept it on the cabinet and didn't take it seriously!"
Then he began to sigh endlessly.
"Hey... I didn't expect that it would be thirty years ago!"
"A person's life is really unbearable. In the blink of an eye, most of his life has passed!"
"I thought I was so high-spirited back then, who would have thought of staying here for so long!"
"............"
Although Gu Chen didn't have much social contact with this old man, I always felt that he was a person with a lot of stories!
How old is he? It doesn't seem to be true. He looks about fifty years old, but he makes himself look slovenly and his hair is unkempt.
I just lie in the chair all day, like an eighty-year-old man.
What kind of blow did he receive that made him unwilling to go out and face the outside world, and just live with these cats, dogs, and flowers every day.
And it will last for decades. How much mental quality is required to do this!
Gu Chen covered the box, hugged it, and left the room to go out, but when he went out, he also picked up a bottle of Yangyuan Pill from the cabinet!
This Yangyuan Pill has a very good effect on his internal injuries. To explain briefly, Ye Dongqing prepared a bathtub of medicinal materials for him to soak last time.
Tens of millions of medicinal materials may not be as effective as this Yangyuan Pill.
"You brat, you are quite good at picking things!" The old man sat on the Taishi chair and said with a smirk, "Next time you come, remember to bring me some 'peanuts'!"
"Okay, I'll use those 'peanuts' to exchange for your treasures here. Come here once, and I'll take something away!" Gu Chen said with a grin.
The old man turned his head and rolled his eyes at him: "Why do you look like a profiteer?!"
"You are the same!"
Gu Chen put the butterfly knife into his pocket, held the box in his right hand and walked out of the room.
"But what use do you have for this broken sword?! It's broken into two pieces and it's useless! No matter how good a swordsman is, without a good sword, it's just a decoration!" The old man asked, stroking his beard a little puzzled.
When the previous owner of this sword put it here, he also said that this sword has spirituality and must wait for the destined person to pick it up!
No one has entered his room for decades, but Gu Chen chose it as soon as he entered. Could it be that this is the destined person that he said? !
"What you said is only half right. A true swordsman does not depend on the sword he uses. Even if it is a wooden sword, a master is still a master! I like this sword. It would be good as a decoration!" Gu Chen spread his hands and chuckled: "Let's go, let's settle this matter!"
Just as Gu Chen was about to take the things and go out, the old man stopped him again from behind.
"Hey!"
"What's wrong?! I won't regret taking something from you, will you?!" He turned around and quickly hid the thing behind his back and said warily.
Now he has reached the door. If the old man regrets it, he is sure that he can climb over the wall with his things.
Although there are several venomous snakes coiled on the wall, it does not prevent him from going out at all, except for jumping a little higher.
"You and I are destined, how about taking a test?!" The old man looked at his back and chuckled.
Of course he knows the word test, it is a fortune-telling method for beginners of Taoism .
Compared with Feng Shui Bagua, this word test is much simpler. Han Dynasty has Dongfang Shuo , which is famous for its word test. It can control the accuracy within three days and predict what will definitely happen to you in the past few days.
is a random word, and different people have different interpretations of it.
"I don't believe this, let's go!" Gu Chen spread his hands and chuckled: "Besides, most people can't see through me!"
"Write whatever you want, I'm bored too, just to relieve my boredom!"
The old man also smiled and said, sitting on the chair and looking at him.
Someone had calculated the gossip for him before, and he almost bled to death without seven orifices .
Lan Wancheng did not believe in evil before and insisted on calculating his fortune. As soon as the sun went down that day, he fainted to the ground.
If Mr. Lan hadn't rescued him in time, he would have died long ago.
While in coma, he only said that he saw a golden dragon ascending to the sky riding on purple energy. It was obviously a good omen, but it almost killed him.
Later, Mr. Lan also reprimanded Lan Wancheng and told him not to force fortune-telling in the future. Some people's fate is too tough. If you insist on seeing what happens, you will have to pay the price.
Not only that, Lan Wancheng also said that in order to see his destiny clearly, he lost five years of his life in vain, so now he doesn't dare to calculate Gu Chen's horoscope.
Because Gu Chen didn't know his birth date and horoscope, they observed it through facial features and other methods.
Lanwancheng used to be tough-talking, but he became honest after being fooled.
This old man is just a pharmacist. Although Chinese medicine also understands the five elements, he looks like an amateur at first glance. How can he compare with Lanwancheng and the others? Even he has lost five years of life, let alone others!
"Someone once told me my fortune and lost my life. I don't want to harm you, and I don't want to know my numerology, let alone what will happen in the future! So, let's forget it!"
"......"
This old man is very old, but his temper is stubborn!
Gu Chen didn’t know how to write, but he still wouldn’t let her go!
"No, open the door!" He turned back to look at the old man and said angrily: "How can a man break his word!"
"I didn't break my word, I just wanted to give you a test. You said you took so many things from me and you didn't even help me with this request?!" The old man leaned on his chair and sneered.
Originally, Gu Chen was worried that he would not be able to withstand the hardships at his old age.
My master has said before that his destiny is special and cannot be shown to ordinary people, and ordinary people do not have the courage to see it.
But why is this old man so ignorant at his age?
Originally, it was nothing to take a word test, but Lanwancheng's experience still scares him.
He didn't even know how scary his fate was. Even Mr. Lan's face changed drastically.
But this old man couldn’t listen to anything he said!
"You insist on taking the test?!" Gu Chen turned around and rolled his eyes at him.
The old man also nodded slightly: "I have lived for decades, and I have never seen anyone whose fate cannot be measured!"
"Any word will do?!"
"Any word will do!"
Gu Chen didn't hesitate much, and directly drew the word 'one' on the ground!
After he finished writing, the door to the courtyard suddenly opened.
"I said, if you can't see it, don't force yourself!" Gu Chen stood at the door and said softly.
The old man disagreed and laughed loudly: "Do you really think I'm scared at my age?!"
"............"
Gu Chen didn't waste any more words and walked directly out the door.
As soon as he went out, he saw dark clouds in the sky, as if it was going to rain.
"Is it done?!" Shangguan Ying asked quickly when she saw him coming out.
"Okay! Let's go quickly!"
After saying that, he pulled Shangguan Ying and hurriedly ran towards the road.
"What happened?! Why are we running so fast?!" She asked suspiciously while following Gu Chen's pace.
But Gu Chen did not respond directly!
The sky was clear before, but the next second it was covered with dark clouds. The most important thing was that it was still sunny in the distance, and only this area was covered with dark clouds.
There are thunder and lightning flashes from time to time!
This shows that the old man must have begun to speculate on the direction of his fate based on the word "one" that Gu Chen just wrote on the ground.
Gu Chen also felt speechless.
What kind of destiny do I have? Why do the stars change drastically when someone calculates my own destiny? The deeper the person deduce, the louder the movement becomes.
Previously, I was on Alcatraz Island, surrounded by the sea. When I had an insight into the secret of heaven in Lanwan City, there were strong winds and tsunamis!
He doesn't even know whether his destiny is good or bad!
"Let's go!" Gu Chen took Shangguan Ying's hand and ran to the car.
............
is in the yard at this time.
This old man also felt that there was a vision in the sky, and did not continue to deduce it.
But at his level, he has already seen things that ordinary Feng Shui masters cannot see.
