"The Master said: At thirty you stand tall; at forty you are not confused; at fifty you know your destiny..."
In the school, the crisp sound of children reading could be heard.
A white-haired figure on crutches walked past the school. The figure was slender and had a face like a crown jade. He also held a cloth flag in his hand and wrote: Side characters, Suan Guo.
Pedestrians passing by showed contempt when they saw the words on the banners.
"Where does this charlatan come from? He even wrote the words wrong and still dares to predict the words?"
The white-haired figure glanced at the passers-by, with a disapproving look on his face, and shouted: " There is a god three feet above my head. I am the best at fortune-telling. I am looking for money to make fortunes, and I am sure my heart will be clear."
As soon as I finished my words, the pedestrians around me started to avoid them, like tigers hiding from each other. Like a leopard, he kept away from the white-haired figure, fearing that this charlatan would entangle him and ask for money.
"I am a fortune teller, not a beggar, why are you hiding so far away?" The white-haired figure sneered, stopped shouting, and walked straight to the tavern at the end of the road.
It is still early in the morning and the tavern has just opened.
The waiter at the door opened his mouth, yawned, and saw a white-haired figure walking into the store leisurely.
"Old man, whatever you want to eat, our store has beef and mutton, green bamboo leaves, and roasted knives..."
Just as he was talking, the waiter came around to the white-haired figure, When he saw his appearance, he showed a look of astonishment, and even forgot his usual words!
Where is the white-haired old man in front of me? He is clearly a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. His face is still a bit immature, and the beard around his mouth has not grown.
“Waiter, let’s get one of each of the most expensive dishes. In addition, please give me a bowl of the famous wide noodles in your store first,” the white-haired young man said repeatedly, “Let’s go. I’ve been hungry all night!”
“You’re kidding me,” the waiter muttered while wiping the table: “The wide noodles in our restaurant are a new dish that the chef just made two days ago. "You haven't had time to include it in the recipe, how did it get famous?"
"If you are not famous now, you will be famous in the future. Otherwise, why would I come all the way here?" The white-haired young man glared. The waiter said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let the cook do it. I'm very hungry."
The waiter didn't dare to be nagging anymore and hurriedly walked into the backyard.
Soon, a bowl of hot noodle soup was served, and the fresh and strong aroma hit the tip of his nose. The white-haired young man was so excited that he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started swallowing.
Outside the tavern, an old man and a young man appeared at some unknown time.
The old man has gray hair and a withered face, but there is divine light between his eyes, as if he is an immortal who has existed in the world for a long time.
"Ayue, the person who can save your life is in the store." The old man said solemnly.
The girl's face was pale, and her pretty face could not conceal her deathly aura. "Grandpa, I was poisoned by an ice snake. Is there anyone who can really cure it?"
"If others can't do it, he can definitely do it," something flashed in the old man's eyes.They were reluctant to part, but they regained their composure after a moment, "If he couldn't save you, he wouldn't have appeared in this tavern."
An old man and a young man walked into the tavern. In the huge hall, only Bai Bai The young man was eating and drinking without caring about his image.
"I once learned from ancient books that there is a clan in the world, which calls itself the Destiny clan." The old man smiled and looked at the girl beside him, "Ayue, do you know what the Destiny clan is?"< /p>
The girl shook her head, "I have heard of the Qiang people in the north and the Yi people in the south. The Destiny clan? It seems I have never heard of them."
"What Destiny clan should be called the Short-lived clan? That's right." The white-haired young man snorted and continued to eat the food, even though his palms were stained with oil.
"As the saying goes: when you are thirty, you are not confused, when you are forty, you are not confused, when you are fifty, you know the destiny. And the destiny clan knows the destiny when they are born. Similarly, they are born to be fifty years old." At this point, the old man meant She looked deeply at the white-haired young man and said, "Ah Yue, the young master in front of you seems to be about the same age as you, but in fact, he is actually sixty-five or six years old!"
"Ah , are born fifty years old, so wouldn’t they only live one or twenty years?” the girl exclaimed.
Seventy-year-olds are rare in ancient times. How many people in the world can live to be seventy years old? The Destiny clan has also been deprived of fifty years of life, how many more years can they live?
"Yes, this clan has insight into the secrets of heaven and has the ability to change destiny against the will of heaven, so the heavens punished them by depriving the Destiny clan of fifty years of life," the old man said, as if to the Destiny clan Knowing everything, "Ah Yue, think about it, can someone who is even jealous of God save your life?"
"Of course he can." The girl stared with wide eyes. The white-haired young man looked expectant.
"Don't look at me, I can't even save myself," the white-haired young man waved his hand and pointed to the cloth banner behind him, "If you can't save your life, you can do the word test."
"Okay. , I will test the characters."
The old man strode forward, moved his fingers on the table a few times, and carved out a clear character.
If the knights in the world saw this method, they would be shocked.
You can carve handwriting on a hardwood table with just one finger without causing any noise. Even a master who specializes in finger strength may not be able to do it.
"Good calligraphy." The white-haired young man raised his head and took a look. "The tip of the pen is like a dragon and a snake. As the saying goes, a little bit of it is suspended in the air and enters the dust. The alphabet of "old man" is well written and wonderful. !"
"Hey, hey, do you know how to read?" The girl quickly stepped forward and pointed at the writing on the desk and shouted: "This is obviously a poisonous word."
The white-haired young man seemed a little embarrassed and touched his nose, "When a woman is poisoned, it hurts just like giving birth, but it's almost the same."
"You are the one who wants to Give birth!" The girl was obviously a bad-tempered girl. When she heard the young man's nonsense, she almost rushed up and slapped him, but luckily she was stopped by the old man.
“Ayue,Don't rush into me, sir." The old man bowed to the white-haired young man, "The Destiny clan was deprived of fifty years of their lifespan when they were born, and they were ignorant before they were five years old. The total number of years they really lived was only ten years. How can you read and write? "
"But no matter what words I write, sir, I know what I want! The old man said in a deep voice, "May I ask, sir, if there is an explanation for this word?"
The white-haired young man raised his head and stared at the girl, "The poison of the ice snake has penetrated into the bone marrow. If you had come a few days earlier, there would be herbs on the North Mountain that could cure you, but now..."
Both the old man and the girl couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.
"Ahem, actually, I know a coffin shop that has a fine pair of golden nanmu. , mention my name and get a 20% discount. "The white-haired young man shook his head, "It's in Wushan Town, three hundred miles away, at the easternmost store on the street. "
"Sir, please save my granddaughter's life. "The old man's face suddenly darkened.
Why is the young man in front of him completely different from what was recorded in ancient books?
Did he spend thousands of taels of silver and go through all kinds of troubles to hire the miracle doctor Lu Xiang? Guidance, but ended up running into a charlatan?
That’s not true.
What a charlatan. How could he tell at a glance that the girl was poisoned by the ice snake?
