Friends please stay

The big business capital, Chaoge.

After Shen Gongbao quietly sent Xiao Daji back to Jizhou City, he felt relieved when he saw that she was found by the servants of Houhou's Mansion in Jizhou, and left Jizhou City to set off for his next destination - Chaoge.

Today, under the governance of the old emperor Diyi, the Dashang is still only in its own right. Chaoge is the most important capital of the Dashang, and its prosperity needs more words.

The dark brown towering city walls can clearly see the mottled traces of wind and rain left on them, full of vicissitudes of history and rich cultural heritage.

Pedestrians flocked endlessly on the wide bluestone streets, and traders and pawns could be seen everywhere. From time to time, a pair of guards in armor and holding giant swords were seen patrolling past.

Shen Gongbao showed a wretched smile, and Shi Shiran walked on the street, feeling the quaint atmosphere of this long-famous ancient city, and at the same time, he kept looking at the words and deeds of the people around him, so as to facilitate his future life. action.

But something happened that made Shen Gongbao feel depressed again. Seeing some young girls beside him who couldn't help but stay far away from him, Shen Gongbao lamented in his heart: "It's really not my fault to grow up like this!"

It is said that when you see too many things, you will feel numb, and Shen Gongbao is the same. I saw him playfully grinning at a young girl who was far away from him. Trembling, he slid into the crowd, seeing this, Shen Gongbao smiled.

Wherever he went, Shen Gongbao would go to the restaurants there to taste all kinds of delicacies in the world. Although Shen Gongbao was a cultivator, he accidentally liked some behaviors and habits commonly said by cultivators.

Most cultivators feel that there are too many dross in the worldly grains, so they eat some spiritual fruits, or they don't need food at all, and they can just meditate and refine Qi every day.

Cultivators who cultivated to a certain level can be fasted. From then on, they only need to meditate and refine Qi, but their desire for food and drink in the world is much lighter.

However, Shen Gongbao is not used to this. Unless he is practicing in seclusion, he will not have food to taste. Wouldn't he be missing a kind of enjoyment in the world.

People who practice Taoism, if they don't have kalpas or disasters, are generally people with a long lifespan, and they don't have any hobbies. In that long life, they just meditate and practice qi every day. Living like this is not what Shen Gongbao wants.

However, Shen Gongbao lazily walked out of the restaurant after a full meal, groped alone, pondered for a while, and then smiled, and then walked to a secluded alley, looked left and right , found that no one exists, so he put on makeup at an unimaginable speed for ordinary people, and then took out the props that had been prepared from the mustard space, and then transformed himself into a wandering warlock

I saw him wearing a mysterious crown with two ribbons on the edge that slipped down his shoulders, a brown cassock robe, a wooden box in his right hand, and a large flag in his left hand, which read "A policy that will be left behind will never fail." , pass by, don't miss it!"

After taking a closer look at himself and found that there was nothing wrong, he smiled, stroked his little beard, and just walked out of the alley and into the street like that.

There is a saying that money can make ghosts grind, so after Shen Gongbao paid a few ingots of silver, he easily got his booth from a scholar who sold calligraphy, and then he placed his props and sat at the desk Before that, I started to close my eyes and meditate.

During the Great Shang Dynasty, the common people still knew that there were many cultivators hidden in various deep mountains and old forests.

But all powerful people are proficient in the way of calculation, the higher the level of cultivation, the more accurate their calculations. For example, with the power of a saint, he can instantly feel the movement and changes of the way of heaven from the void, and understand the world's affairs. For a saint , there are hardly any secrets at all.

However, generally wise monks will not come out to calculate misfortunes and fortunes for others. One is that they have very high cultivation bases, and they only like to practice quietly to improve their cultivation; To increase cause and effect, if they are irrelevant people, they will not do so.

The wandering warlocks that ordinary people see are just low-level monks who know a little about calculations. Due to their low cultivation base, they may not even know the theory of cause and effect. Therefore, common people still often see these wandering warlocks wandering the streets, telling fortunes and characters for others. .

Shen Gongbao is not afraid of karma, at least it’s okay to reveal a little bit of secrets, the merits of karma are handled skillfully, if it’s not good, you will get karma. Not to mention that Shen Gongbao needs a huge amount of karma to refine the list of rare treasures.

At this time, the folk customs are simple, and the people who come out to measure characters and fortune-telling are all monks who know how to calculate. Although sometimes the calculations are not very accurate, they are not purely fooling fools like those in later generations. He cannot be called a wandering warlock, but only a "charlatan".

But he said that not too long after Shen Gongbao’s stall was set up, a customer came to the door. Shen Gongbao looked up and saw that the visitor was twenty-eight years old. Although he was dressed like a man, his white neck did not show the slightest Adam’s apple. , looking at her handsome face, there is no doubt that this is a young girl disguised as a man.

Shen Gongbao was stunned, he didn't expect that his first guest was actually a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he didn't know that there was also that obscene smile on his lips.

The man was coming towards him, how could he not see Shen Gongbao's dirty smile, his face tightened, and his eyebrows were frowned. At this time, a girl in green clothes who looked like a maid said, "Young master, we still another!"

Seeing her young lady's staring eyes, the girl in green sticks out her tongue in embarrassment, and quickly changes her name to "Master". She is really cute, but she doesn't know that Shen Gongbao has already seen through her identity as a daughter.

This "son" frowned for a moment, then shook his head, sat opposite Shen Gongbao, and said, "Master Daoist, I don't know if you are good at fortune-telling and word-testing?"

The voice is soft and melodious, and she is so soft and beautiful, and her body exudes a sense of nobility. She should be a girl from a big family, but for some reason, she disguises herself as a man and shows up on the street. There is a trace of worry in her brows , Shen Gongbao understood clearly, it seems that this "son" must have encountered some troubles.

Shen Gongbao said indifferently: "Poverty is a person who cultivates the Tao, but this time he came here by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, how could he deceive you!"

Junxiu Junxiu's face relaxed when he heard the words, he believed Shen Gongbao's words, and said: "So, if your calculation is accurate, you will not lose the silver tael!"

"I don't know what the young master is measuring?" After that, Shen Gongbao handed over a blank bamboo slip, ink and brush, "Please write down a few words first, and after the poor Taoist calculates it, the young master will know whether the poor Taoist is false or not." words."

The handsome "Master" took the pen and ink, and quickly wrote a handsome ancient Chinese character "Shang" on the blank bamboo slips!

Shen Gongbao took a look at her, glanced at her quite unexpectedly, and said: "I don't know what kind of thing the young master is testing, marriage or fame?"

I saw her pretty face blushing, and whispered softly: "Marriage!"

Shen Gongbao stretched out his right hand indifferently, closed his eyes, pinched each other with his pretentious fingers, and chanted some inexplicable mantras that others could not understand, but in fact, these were all made up by Shen Gongbao. It's just that he doesn't want to act too easily, and if he simply pinches his fingers and draws conclusions, I'm afraid this girl will think he is really a charlatan.

With Shen Gongbao's current cultivation base at the peak of Taiyi Xuanxian, plus years of practice, and later supplemented by the "Huang Ting Jing Jing" and Dayu's memory, he also has a deep understanding of divination and calculation, and he can calculate the person in front of him The origin of it is an instant matter.

However, in order to match his identity as a monk with a low level of cultivation, Shen Gongbao still pretended for a long time before opening his eyes, looking at the nervous girl in front of him, Shen Gongbao couldn't help smiling mysteriously.
