The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 70
The old beggar not only lay there, but also moved into the sun and began to howl: "Oh, the conscience of heaven and earth. How can I be bumped at such an old age. And did I say that I want your money?" Did I say something? Just frame me as an old man." For a while, many passers-by stopped.

The old beggar's words made Tourmaline speechless for a moment.Tourmaline apologized to the old beggar and then turned to leave.But wherever he went, the old beggar moved to block his way.And because of the behavior of the old beggar, more and more passers-by were watching.She couldn't bear it, so she walked back.But unexpectedly, the old beggar got up all at once.Then staggeringly followed.

Su Wanqiu was also very surprised.Can't help but ask: "Then where is he now?"

Tourmaline sighed and said, "Now the door is barricaded by a servant. If he doesn't barricade him, he wants to follow me in."

Su Wanqiu asked curiously: "Then did he say what he wants?"

Tourmaline curled her lips: "He said he wanted to see which family's girl brought up such an impolite little maid like me. It sounds like he wants to see you, Miss."

Su Wanqiu thought for a while, then got up and walked outside.After seeing that, Tourmaci hurriedly followed and said, "Miss, you don't really intend to meet that beggar, do you?"

Su Wanqiu said while walking: "You also said that if you are an ordinary person, you will retreat when you hear that you are going to the Yamen. There must be a reason for him to come back with you. Let's go and see together."

When Su Wanqiu came to the gate, she saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest lying sideways at the gate of the mansion, holding the gourd into his mouth with one hand supporting his head.

Su Wanqiu took two steps, squatted in front of him and said, "Grandpa heard from my maid that you want to see me? I wonder what's the matter?"

The old man rolled over and sat up, his movements were extremely agile, he didn't look like an old man at all.The old man sat cross-legged in front of Su Wanqiu and looked her up and down.But the tourmaline and servants behind Su Wanqiu felt nervous.

The old man chuckled twice and said, "That's right, that's right, it's really strange. Little girl, do you want to consider asking me to be your teacher?"

Su Wanqiu was taken aback and looked the old man up and down and said, "Grandpa, you should be a Taoist priest with your attire, right? But I don't want to be a Taoist nun."

The old man waved his hands hesitantly and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't have a gymnasium now. So I don't accept Taoist disciples anymore. You can be my lay disciple. If you want to worship me as a master, You have to provide me with room and board. It doesn’t have to be too good to live in. At least there must be a main hall, a main room and a side room. I live in the main room, and I want to meet friends in the main room. I want to use the side room Pharmacy. I will also be assigned a servant to take care of my daily life. My three meals must be one meat and two vegetables. At least two liang of wine should be given to me a day. But..."

Before the old Taoist finished speaking, the servant at the back couldn't listen anymore, he smashed the wooden stick in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "Who do you think you are? You just opened your mouth to make so many demands. Besides, our lady has not yet Promise to be your apprentice."

Su Wanqiu was not angry, she said curiously: "First, our family can indeed provide what you asked for, but it doesn't count if I say so. Second, how can you be sure that I will definitely worship you as my teacher? Third, you What's the trick?"

The old Taoist stroked his few goatee beards and said with a smile: "I don't know many things." He suddenly looked left and right, approached Su Wanqiu and whispered mysteriously: "For example Witch doctor, divination, astrology, face-to-face, and arithmetic. I will teach you whatever you want to learn."

"Do you know the famous predictor in Xinglin world?" The old Taoist pointed to his nose.Su Wanqiu's eyes widened, thinking that he was the legendary prophet.The old Taoist continued, "That's my apprentice."

After hearing what the old Taoist said, Su Wanqiu couldn't help but began to doubt the old Taoist.Perhaps her eyes unconsciously brought out her own thoughts.The old Taoist sat up straight and smiled: "Why? Don't believe it? But it doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I can prove it to you. Are you going to meet someone now? This person's disease can't be cured even if you invite the prophet Alright. Unless the little old man makes a move, there is hope.”

Su Wanqiu couldn't help but look sideways.She stared at the old Taoist, waved her hand at Bixi and said, "Taoxi, go ahead and ask the doctor to come over."

The old Taoist didn't care about Su Wanqiu's doubts and continued: "But with your fate and appearance, I think you are more suitable for learning divination and astrology. After all, your current fate is really too hard. You can It’s ridiculous to say it. And your fate can directly change the fate of others. So it’s a waste if you don’t learn these two.”

Hearing what he said, Su Wanqiu couldn't help frowning.She had heard something like that recently.The one I told myself was Master Liaowu of Jialan Temple.But now that the old Taoist mentioned it to her again, she couldn't help asking: "Did the Taoist know Master Wu?"

Hearing Wu, the old man couldn't help but smile: "The old boy still mentioned me in front of you? If I had known this, I wouldn't have to talk like that." The old man shook his body, then patted his chest and looked a little embarrassed He said: "No, my apprentice."

At this moment, if she didn't know that the old man calculated that she was going to visit Yuan Qingping's mother based on her strength, Su Wanqiu really felt that the old man had come out to cheat.After all, this trip was a temporary decision.She controlled her emotions and said: "No matter how fancy you say, I won't believe anything until I see your strength. Since you know that we are going to see a patient, then you can follow us Let's go together." Said Su Wanqiu stood up.

The old man jumped up nimbly and patted the dust off his body.While shaking, she drank the wine and said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk." The servants behind Su Wanqiu were a little surprised. Although they heard that their young lady was easy to talk, they didn't expect it to be so easy to talk.From this point of view, he was a liar, and the lady let him follow.At this time, the housekeeper who received the letter finally poured out his hands and ran out sweating.

Standing at the door, he pointed at the old Taoist and said, "The liar came to pester my young lady. Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and beat him away."

Su Wanqiu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, Uncle Housekeeper. He may be a friend of Master Wu. I'll take him out for a walk first. You go and talk to my grandmother."

The butler walked up to Su Wanqiu on the runway and said, "Miss, what do you know? How could a master as powerful as Master Wu know such a beggar. Don't be fooled by him."

Unexpectedly, this old man didn't explain it.He continued to drink and waved his hands and said, "Little girl, the little old man is waiting for you at the entrance of the alley." After speaking, he turned around and left.
