Star Odyssey - Chapter 3835

[Chapter 3833: Six taels of gold]
Not far away, a young woman came to the river with a bucket and said in a low voice, “No one in the sky will defraud us mortals with money. For them, mortals’ money is useless, even if we sell our city. It won’t help them.”
Hearing the woman’s words, Lu Yin nodded and took a sip: “Yeah, mortals, heaven and man are too far apart.” He sighed and looked at the young woman: “Then how about I help you for free? You won’t suffer anyway.” The
young woman looked at Lu Yin in confusion, then lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Lu Yin didn’t reluctantly, the raft continued to drift, the river flowed very slowly, and the dense water plants on both sides were like a green bridge, connecting the two sides.
Weeds prevent the raft from drifting.
Lu Yin didn’t pick it up, and let the raft float on the spot, sleeping.
After an unknown amount of time, a light sound came into his ears, he opened his eyes and looked.
It was the young woman, beating the raft with a bamboo pole, looking at herself. “It’s getting dark, why don’t you leave
? Our city has a curfew. If you are seen, you will be in trouble.”
Lu Yin was puzzled: “There is still a city with a curfew? ” I haven’t fortune-telling yet.” The young woman was helpless: “No one believes you, so let’s go.” Lu Yin smiled and looked at the young woman: “Girl, you have a good heart.” The young woman was stunned for a moment, strangely Glancing at Lu Yin: “I should be older than you.” “Don’t you know that heaven and man can stay young forever?” Lu Yin smiled. The young woman envy: “Heaven and man are so good.” “Do you want a man of the day?” “No. ” “Why? You can stay young forever, or you can leave this city, not bothered by curfew, you can go to heaven and earth, do everything you want to do.”
The young woman glanced at the gray-white stone house not far away: “My children and husband are here, I want to accompany them.”
Lu Yin smiled lightly: “You are very happy.”
“Thank you, you should leave quickly, no one is there. Believe in you,” said the young woman, and walked away with the barrel in her arms.
Lu Yin looked at her back and said, “Can you do me a favor?” The
young woman turned back and wondered, “Will you pull your raft here?”
“Write a word, wherever you like, on the ground.” The
young woman shook her head : “I can’t read.”
“Write whatever you want, it doesn’t matter.” The
young woman thought about it, picked up the branch, and wrote two strokes on the ground – “ten”.
“My son seems to have written this word.” After saying that, he left, and it was dark.
Lu Yin looked at the word on the ground, so it turns out, to write a word, you don’t have to know what the word means, it can also be written for someone or something, and the meaning is not important.
She could clearly write a “one”, which is more convenient, but an extra stroke. This stroke is the love for her son and the warmth of this family. Lu Yin looked at the gray-white stone house, swept
his consciousness, and removed the diseases from the young woman, her husband, and her son: “I wish you all a long life.”
Where is the land? For practitioners, this city is very small and can be walked through in one step, but for mortals it is very large. It takes a day to walk from one end of the city to the other. If you walk around the river, at least a day is required. Half.
However, this river not only flows in this city, but also connects to another city, connecting each city, dozens of cities above the earth, but in the eyes of practitioners, it is just gravel, and it may fall at random, and it may not be met. A city, such a city in this Eternal Heaven and Earth, is too small.
“Hey, hey.”
Soon after drifting, someone shouted in the dark.
Lu Yin looked at him and saw that there was no difference between the day and the night: “I know you will come to me.”
The person who shouted was an old woman with a sallow complexion and cloudy eyes, but she had a shrewdness that did not match her appearance.
Hearing Lu Yin’s words, the old woman’s eyes flickered: “It’s calculated?”
“It’s obvious.”
“I don’t believe it, you can really tell fortunes?”
Lu Yin said leisurely: “Believe it or not.” The
old woman looked at the bamboo stick cloth. The word of love, believe it or not, believe it or not, there is some hesitation.
Lu Yin didn’t rush.
The old woman gritted her teeth: “How do you charge?”
Lu Yin laughed: “Do you believe it?”
“Don’t believe it.”
“Then why should it be counted?”
“The old woman has lived her whole life and wants to live a clear life. I don’t ask you to count it into the future. Let me understand the past.”
Lu Yin understood: “It’s not fate, it’s heart.”
“Tell me, how to charge.”
“Six taels of gold.” The
old woman was shocked and looked at Lu Yin in horror: “You, you ?”
Lu Yin closed his eyes and took a leisurely sip of his drink.
“How did you know?”
“Tell me, how did you know?” The
old woman was anxious. She had saved six taels of gold in her life. To be honest, for a person her age, six taels of gold is enough for old age. , so she hid it very well, and only watched it once every other year. The last time she watched it was half a year ago. How could this person know? Even if you stare at yourself, you can’t stare for half a year, just for six taels of gold?
When she saw Lu Yin, her eyes changed, and she felt like she saw a ghost.
“Do you still believe it now?” Lu Yin asked back, he naturally saw it through cause and effect.
The old woman swallowed her saliva, knelt down and kowtowed: “I beg the heavens to help me, I beg the heavens to help me, I beg the heavens to help me…”
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the breeze lifted the old woman up.
The old woman’s body was out of control, and her reverence for Lu Yin grew even stronger.
“My fee is six taels of gold. I already said that, would you like it?” The
old woman stared at Lu Yin, six taels of gold, six taels of gold, that’s all her net worth, how could she be willing to give it to this person, herself How to live? What about the hard work of the first half of your life?
She shook her head, subconsciously, unwilling to give it.
Lu Yin looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: “Look, don’t you have the answer?” The
old woman was puzzled at first, then she stared blankly at Lu Yin, yes, the answer is there, six taels of gold, this is before her The result of half a lifetime of hard work is her everything. Everything revolves around these six taels of gold. At this moment, the experience of the first half of her life flashes over and over. Every picture has gold. She is working for the gold, and she is working for herself. Everything else has nothing to do with her.
Neighbor disputes, wars, nothing to do with her.
I don’t want to get married because I don’t want my hard work to be shared by another person.
Looking back on my life, there is no second person.
She slumped to the ground. At this moment, she was awake, but she was also old.
For the six taels of gold, she forgot everything, so she was confused and wanted to find the answer through fortune-telling, but this answer also made her despair.
Lu Yin looked at the old woman sympathetically: “The life of a mortal is only a hundred years, and there are many things worth remembering, but you only have six taels of gold, which is sad and deplorable.” The
old woman smiled bitterly and lay on the ground: “It’s sad, deplorable, ridiculous. .”
“Paying me six taels of gold will give you a hundred years of life, and you can still walk for thirty years.” The old woman is seventy years old this year. In her mind, she will not live long, and at most have a few years to live. Now I heard that She can live for 30 years, and she is naturally tempted, but the reward is six taels of gold, which is equivalent to spending the first half of her life and buying the second half of her life, is it worth it? She was lost.
Lu Yin was not in a hurry and waited slowly.
He didn’t let the old woman write, and she didn’t need to write. Words, in her heart, were “money”.
Words do not necessarily have to be written.
After a long time, the old woman raised her head and looked at Lu Yin: “Old woman, yes.”
Lu Yin looked at her and smiled.
The old woman stood up tremblingly: “The old woman will hand over the six taels of gold to the gods, and hope that the gods will be fulfilled.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I am a liar?” The
old woman turned her back to Lu Yin and whispered: “A few years, or a few In ten years, I can’t buy the first half of my life, so what can I do?”
Lu Yin looked at the old woman’s back: “No need.” The
old woman turned back and looked at Lu Yin in confusion: “What do you mean by heaven and man?”
Lu Yin said: “Sixth Two pieces of gold, to me, are just sand and soil, it is better that this current can carry me drifting, you have already got the answer, I will give you thirty years of life, enjoy it.” After saying that, she waved her hand, and the old woman was caught in the wind. After blowing it, the body blinked back to his house, and the original heavy feeling in the body disappeared, as if returning to decades ago.
Excited, she knelt down in the direction of the river: “Thanks to the gods, thank you to the gods…”
Lu Yin retracted his gaze, picked up the cup, and looked at it in a trance.
The first half of her life, the second half of her life, just a few words changed this old woman’s life, and also changed the understanding of the people around her.
She saw herself clearly.
So what about yourself? Looking back on the first half of my life, cultivating, fighting, fighting, and staying away, I feel very tired when I think about it in retrospect.
If you are tired, relax.
Lu Yin let the raft drift, this mortal world is really good.
He always felt as if he was making up for something, but he couldn’t tell.
Just when the old woman was willing to donate six taels of gold, Ye Hai, next to the lotus pond, Qing Lian Shangyu put her hands behind her back, looked at Eternal Sky Earth, and smiled: “It’s fast enough, then, how much can you steal in the end?”
…
The city became lively, and many people came to Lu Yin for fortune-telling, all of which came from the old woman’s propaganda.
Lu Yin didn’t refuse. Those who came were destined. These people heard the propaganda, believed it, and came. This is a fate and a cause and effect, and he can count it.
“Write your handwriting.”
“Don’t read palmistry?”
“Just read the handwriting.” ”
What’s so beautiful about the handwriting?” Although he mumbled, the man still wrote it, a word for “heart”, with a somewhat inscrutable meaning.
Lu Yin looked at the man: “You are embarrassing me by writing this word.”
“I just wanted to write this word.” “I
wrote the word “heart” on purpose, you didn’t write it out of randomness, just because of the meaning of the word , no one can read people’s hearts, just I can, go back and tell your master, you can get it in 30 years, I gave her 30 years of life, if you want to take it away in advance, don’t blame me for being rude.” waved, the man disappeared.
Surrounded by people surprised, people?
Lu Yin’s expression didn’t change. Just now, that person was instigated by someone to ask for trouble, because they took a fancy to the old woman’s six taels of gold, which could only be obtained after the old woman died. Who would have thought that Lu Yin would let the old woman recover, but they were not angry , I want to find some trouble, but I don’t dare to go too far.
After all, it is a god.
So he specially wrote the word “heart” to make Lu Yin embarrassed and force him to leave the city.
Some people write because of other people, and some people write because the meaning of the word itself is different.
