After a long time, I felt refreshed. The night breeze penetrated into the car window and the stars were flying in the sky. The kind words of my friends made me feel relaxed and happy. However, Xin Xiaoxin's slick tone is worthy of guarding against. I said a few words to him before leaving.

Yang Tao told me that in Nanxiang Ancient Town, there are many stalls selling imitation guns. The bb bullets emitted by the guns can easily break wine bottles. But there is a store with fish-meshed beads, no, it should be said that it is "beads and fish-meshed beads". This store sells real guns, and there are many rare things. The owner of the store is a relative of the Hubei Gang leader.

It is said that the name of the Hubei gang leader is Ye Rui.

Is it the guy who has been with me in the casino, drug and porn field?

If it were him, it would be easier. The brothers who are the ones who say "were through the window together, carried guns together, divided stolen goods together, and prostitutes together" have the deepest feelings.

Nanxiang is one of the four major ancient towns in Shanghai. The closer it gets, the more antique the smell becomes, the stronger it becomes. I opened the car window and the evening breeze blows, and I feel so uncomfortable. I turn from the production road to Heping Street and eat a red light. When I am at the intersection, a homeless man rushed up with a rag. He wiped it in my car a few times and asked me for money.

I shook my head and said there was no change. The man couldn't get it in just a few seconds. Seeing that the green light changed, he even wiped it hard on my car with a rag. An extremely harsh sound came and the car was scratched.

This car was not mine, and it was not a good car. When I scratched it, I just treated it as a spray of my personality. But I was so terrible that I parked the car next to me and chased me as soon as I got off.

The homeless man didn't expect that I would be so serious and ran away. His feet were not weak, so I was tightly attached to the back, and I couldn't catch up with him for a while. A black shadow suddenly popped up next to him, and the stick in his hand was stretched out, blocking my way.

I said angrily, "Who are you?"

At this time, I realized that this man was an extremely sloppy guy. He was quite old, had a long beard, messy hair, and a Taoist hat on his head. His gossip robe was covered with patches on the east and west, especially his two big sleeves. He probably brushed it all day long on the ground, and it was so dirty that it was too dirty. The stick in his hand was the handle of a flag.

The man looked joking and didn't take any seriousness, but said, "Only dogs chase after beggars."

Just this sentence made me speechless and choked. The pressure was so high that I could not take any steps. Originally, this guy said that I was like a dog, and I should have replied a few words long ago, but I felt that this person was not simple, and seemed to be a master, so I bowed and said, "What do you call me?"

"The surname is Liu, and the single number is Qing."

I bowed again and said, "Oh, Master Liu."

"Little kid, is it still here alone to travel to this place so late?"

"Hey, how did the Taoist priest know that I am alone?"

Liu Qing touched his beard, stretched out one hand, lit his fingers, and said, "I calculated it. Aren't you? There is a little girl in the car?"

I screamed in my heart and smiled and said, "Dao Zheng Liu Dao's bones are fairy-like, and he can tell the past and the future with just a finger."

Liu Qing said: "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about."

"Dao Master Liu knows why I'm here this time?"

Liu Qing calculated his fingers a few more times and said, "Buy a gun."

I was shocked, but I didn't expect that this person was really a god. I hurriedly said, "Shenxian Liu, amazing, amazing! Where can I buy a good gun? Real guy, do you think about it?"

Liu Qing smiled, spread his fingers and came to ask for money.

I asked how much does it cost to calculate a fortune?

The answer was one thousand yuan.

Without thinking, I ran back to the car and handed it to him.

Liu Qing counted the money, smiled and said, "If you go down here, there is a third house on the left of Nanxiang Xiaolong hanging on the door sign, and the one with yellow doors and windows is it."

I nodded and was about to leave. Liu Qing said again: "Hehe, little kid, my Liuren is so accurate. You don't calculate your official career, wealth, health, illness, misfortune, and good fortune. You leave without saying a word. This is the first time I have seen someone like you. But why?"

I bowed politely and said, "Don't be surprised by Shenxian Liu. You are familiar with this nearby. I am a newcomer. Since I can afford a thousand yuan opening fee, I will change the news from you, that's all."

Liu Qing blew up to the sky and said, "Is it true that you little kid who doesn't believe my Liuren's method of making calculations from the bottom of your heart? Come on, I'll calculate it first for you." As he said that, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed my wrist. He must have seen me being generous and had already taken the bait, and wanted to squeeze a little more oil and water.

I was already a little impatient, but he was so entangled, and he said, "You said I came alone because you know that the person I was chasing was specially paddling at the intersection. The place we were standing at is not close to the intersection. If there was a girl in my car, of course I would not be at chasing the beggar; if the car was locked and there were people in the car chased, the alarm of the car should ring at this moment. So you said that I came alone was just a simple and reasonable speculation.

As for you, I came to buy a gun, I must have seen that I was brave enough to chase beggars at night. I was good at chasing beggars. I was a little eccentric. At this time, I came to this ancient town and asked if you know what I was here for. It was definitely not a trip, nor was it a purchase of Nanxiang Xiaolongbao. In addition to tourism and Xiaolong, Nanxiang is known for its black market for guns. So you can guess boldly, and you will be rewarded if you guess correctly, and it is okay to guess wrong.

So, if you have the Iron-toothed Divine Calculation and Liuren Technique, I can also use these names to scare people. Do you think you can scare me?"

Liu Qing was stunned when he heard my words, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he let go of his hand. However, he was not embarrassed by the embarrassment of the diorama on his face. He took out a cinnabar brush from the sleeve of the robe, put it in his mouth and dissolved ink. He wrote a few times in his palm, and said to me: "Little kid, I am young and have no awe at all? Forget it! Forget it! Go, go it!"

As he said, he muttered something and said, "Everyone in the world speaks of gods and immortals, but the gods and immortals don't know where to go. Twenty miles today must wait for the Ming Dynasty's Jingzhe."

While reciting, I waved my sleeves. I felt a flash in front of me. His palm had already patted my back, turned around, walked away with meteors, and said loudly as I walked: "The mountains and rivers are vast, and the gods and immortals are far away from the world. Don't guard the white jade and gold at all, and spring flowers and autumn moons are hard to surround. A hundred years of dreams of floating life, and thousands of years of long-term dissatisfaction are not hated and lonely!" Gradually, the sound becomes smaller and smaller, and it is impossible to hear it.

I was too lazy to pay attention to the crazy Taoist who was walking around the world. I found the store that Liu Qing mentioned before, but couldn't knock on the door. I had no choice but to find a hotel to live, and of course I used someone else's ID card. Thank God, my parents gave me a public face, but no one could tell me that there were two people on my ID card.

This ID card is a student. This fully shows that I am still very young, right?

The phone rang in the room, and the front desk lady said that the hot water in the hotel would be cut off in one hour and she would have to take a shower as soon as possible.

Helplessly, I had no choice but to take off my clothes and throw them on the sofa, and wash things randomly. When I came out wearing a bath towel, I was shocked on the spot.

On my T-shirt, there are three red characters, wood and man.

This was exactly what the crazy Taoist Liu Qing wrote on his hand with a cinnabar pen and patted me on his back. At this time, he read it from left to right, which shows that when he wrote it on the palm of his hand, he wrote it from right to left.

These three characters are simple in strokes and very fast in writing, so I didn't care. But aren't these three characters my name?

"Yu" means two meanings, "Muyou" means the character "Lin"; on the far right, "Ren" plus "Right" means the character "You".

To be honest, these three simple words are the two words "Lin You". I have never met this crazy Taoist Liu Qing. How did he know my name? This would never be achieved through pure reasoning.

I suddenly felt an urge to ask this crazy Taoist clearly. But a wise man like a martyr wandering around the world like a weed, and his whereabouts are as uncertain as duckweed. Where can I find it?

By the way, before he photographed me, he said a poem...

Could it be...

I tried hard to recall, with a little cleverness that I could never forget, I remembered that poem: "Everyone in the world speaks the gods and immortals, but I don't know where the gods and immortals go. Twenty miles today, I have to wait for the Ming Dynasty's Jingzhe."

If he calls himself a god, then the meaning of the sentence "The gods and immortals don't know where they go" is to tell me where to find him. The next two sentences must be where he is.

But, what does it mean to "go twenty miles to today, and you must wait for the Ming Dynasty Jingzhe"? If I want to tell others where I go, except for the location, it means the direction. For example, "I go twenty miles to the northwest", or "I go twenty miles to the direction at ten o'clock". But, what direction does this "today" refer to?

I thought about it all the time, but I didn't understand it. I hurriedly thought about the next sentence, "We must wait for the Ming Dynasty Jingzhe." The Ming Dynasty is tomorrow, and tomorrow is July 8th, which is summer. Jingzhe is the spring solar term. What kind of messy things are these things that are indisputable?

Wait, if this crazy Taoist Liu Qing is not as crazy and nonsensical as he looks, if he is a master of Chinese studies and authentic Taoism, then should this poem be understood in another way?

During the Jingzhe in the Ming Dynasty... Could it be that the Jingzhe here is not the solar term, but a time?

Speaking of the solar term, I suddenly remembered that today is July 7, 2007, which is the "Little Heat" solar term.

Could it be that Jingzhe and Xiaoshu, one represents time and the other represents direction?

Is there a clue in between that that can string together all these clues?

My body was shocked.

A picture I saw when I was a child came into my mind.

In my childhood, my dad was very stingy in toys, and was quite generous in books. For example, after reading Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Cambridge", I liked it very much. I heard that there was a book called "Little Foot and Suit", which was compiled by Xu Zhimo's first wife Zhang Youyi. However, it was extremely rare on the market. In order to satisfy my desire to read, my dad actually went to more than a dozen old bookstores when he was on a business trip to Beijing and found one.

I was bored to read some ancient books, and after turning two pages, I lost interest. My father was supervising the worker and insisted that I read them carefully. Among them, it included a full illustration of the sixty-four hexagrams.

I closed my eyes and the image of this picture appeared little by little in my mind. Slowly, the picture turned in my mind, like "Taiyi Pan", constantly changing, and finally stopped in a correct position. It was accompanied by the twenty-four solar terms and the corresponding time... (Please see the picture below, mobile phone readers please use computer to browse this picture; pirated readers please go to Mo Tie to browse this picture.)

Sixty-four hexagrams, solar terms, and full picture of time

Xiaoshu corresponds to the "Ding" and "Heng" in the Eight Trigrams of Xun Palace; while Jingzhe corresponds to the "Maochu" time in "Mao hour"!

The direction and time are clear!

This crazy Taoist Liu Qing, who has such profound knowledge in Chinese studies, what kind of role is he?
Chapter completed!
