Fang Lin looked at the Flower Fist secret manual in his hand. It seemed that this thing was not a one - time use item. After he used it, he could still give it to others to learn.
Fang Lin thought for a while and finally decided that it was better not to take out the secret manual for them at the moment. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain, and it would be better to find an appropriate opportunity.
However, Sanquan and Sanxin still needed to be focused on cultivating. After all, from now on, they would be the first generation of the Wudang Sect, and they were also the most trustworthy people. Sanxin was relatively smart and flexible. Whether it was preaching or managing the sect, he was quite capable. And Sanquan was a martial arts fanatic with high talent, only second to the original Zhang Sanfeng. He was also a potential stock that could be developed vigorously.
Fang Lin looked at the key in his hand. As soon as this key touched the door of the old Taoist Yiyuan, the door opened. It seemed that it could unlock all locks. Giving him such a system, surely it didn't want him to become a thief, did it?
Fang Lin gave a bitter smile. Looking at the few taels of broken silver in his hand, it seemed that he had to find a way to make money. Fang Lin looked at the Taoist priest's clothes on himself, and his eyes lit up. He immediately called Sanquan and asked him to find a bamboo pole and a piece of white cloth.
Fang Lin looked at the white cloth in front of him, took out a writing brush, and with a big wave of his hand, wrote the four characters "Tianji Shensuàn" (Divine Calculation of the Heavenly Secret). Then he put it on the bamboo pole. With his Taoist robe, he looked just like a diviner.
Holding the bamboo pole in his hand, Fang Lin walked down the mountain.
Danjiang County was quite large and prosperous. In the whole Hubei Province, it could be regarded as a relatively large county.
Fang Lin looked at the picturesque Tianzhu Peak and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. That old Taoist Yiyuan really knew how to choose a place. Tianzhu Peak was really beautiful, and the plants were lush. From time to time, he could also see some relatively precious medicinal herbs. But Fang Lin didn't plan to sell these medicinal herbs. After all, with these medicinal herbs, it could add luster to Tianzhu Peak and Wudang Mountain. In the future, it was necessary to vigorously promote that this was the place where the ancient Black Tortoise ascended to immortality and the cultivation place of the Zhenwu Great Emperor. Without these things, it really didn't have much persuasive power.
Fang Lin walked for a long time before he arrived at Danjiang County. Danjiang County was really prosperous. Fang Lin walked and admired it as he went. After all, it was his first time in such an ancient county. Before he transmigrated, it was very difficult to see these ancient and quaint buildings.
As he walked, he found a place with a large flow of people. Just as he was about to sit down and wait for customers to come, he found that there were actually three Taoist priests just like him, also telling fortunes. And from time to time, people came to have their fortunes told, and they seemed to be very familiar with these Taoist priests, obviously not the first time to come to them for fortune - telling. It seemed that these Taoist priests had been in this business for a while.
Each Taoist priest had a small table in front of them, but they were not as ostentatious as Fang Lin. Fang Lin had a bamboo pole, a white cloth hanging on it, and he even had the nerve to write the four characters "Tianji Shensuàn" on it. However, Fang Lin had studied calligraphy for several years. The four characters were elegant and unrestrained. And after practicing the Flower Fist, his strength had increased, making the characters look vigorous and powerful, vaguely showing the style of a master.
As soon as Fang Lin sat down slightly, he saw the hostile looks from the three Taoist priests. It seemed that the competition among peers was quite intense.
A whole morning passed like this, and not a single person came to Fang Lin. Fang Lin wasn't in a hurry either. For this kind of thing, as long as he told the fortune for one person and got it right, naturally, there would be more people coming in the future. Haste makes waste.
Fang Lin waited quietly. Gradually, the sun was high in the sky. Fang Lin just bought a few vegetable buns casually and sat down to continue waiting.
Finally, the first customer came. Fang Lin quickly sat up straight and pretended to have an otherworldly and wise appearance. But he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it really wasn't very convincing.
The man looked at Fang Lin and asked, "Young Taoist Priest, how much do you charge for one divination?"
Fang Lin smiled slightly. This man didn't seem to be wealthy. It seemed that he couldn't afford to have his fortune told by the other four people, so he came to him to try his luck.
Well, let's have a good start. He could give this man a free divination.
"Attaining the Tao doesn't depend on seniority. Those who are proficient are regarded as teachers. So, you'd better remove the word 'young' and just call me Taoist Priest." Fang Lin said.
The man's eyes lit up. This young Taoist Priest seemed to have some knowledge.
Fang Lin smiled slightly, "Taoist cultivators pursue no desires and no demands. For my divination, how much you give depends entirely on your will. You are the first person to come to me for divination, so I won't charge you."
Hearing that it was free, and since there was no harm in giving it a try, the man quickly squatted down. There was no way, Fang Lin hadn't prepared a stool at all, and he himself was sitting on the protruding part of the house.
"Taoist Priest, do you read palmistry or physiognomy?" The man asked.
Fang Lin smiled slightly. How could he play those low - level tricks? He said, "I do character divination."
The man's eyes lit up. Character divination was a technical job, not like physiognomy which could be casually deceived. It seemed that this Taoist Priest might really have some ability.
Fang Lin spread out a piece of paper. In this era, although most people still couldn't write, generally, people could write their own names.
The man wrote the character "五 (wǔ, meaning five)" on the paper. It seemed that he was the fifth in his family, so his name was just the character "five".
Fang Lin smiled slightly and didn't think too much. He directly said, "Sir, in the middle of this character is a '十 (shí, meaning ten)', which shows that you are now facing a difficult problem and it's hard for you to make a choice, right?"
The man immediately shouted that Fang Lin was a divine being. He hadn't even said anything, and the Taoist Priest had already calculated it. When he shouted like this, more people gathered around.
Fang Lin was overjoyed in his heart. This was nonsense. If he wasn't facing a difficult problem, would he come for divination? And for any matter, there were always multiple choices. After all, there was no absolute existence in the world, and everything was relative. This was common sense. However, in this world, he could still deceive people to his heart's content.
The man quickly said, "I'm indeed facing a difficult choice. I ask the Taoist Priest to give me some guidance."
Fang Lin saw that this man didn't say much more. But it was normal. If he had said everything, he wouldn't be here for divination but for asking for reference opinions.
Fang Lin smiled slightly and pointed at the crooked character, "Look, at the top of this character '五', there is a horizontal stroke, which indicates a smooth and bright path."
Fang Lin thought to himself: Anyway, things were like this. Setbacks were normal. As for when to succeed, it depended on his own luck.
After hearing this, the man was delighted and quickly asked Fang Lin to continue.
Fang Lin continued, "And look at the bottom. There is a twist, but in the end, there is still a horizontal stroke. That is to say, no matter which choice you make, the result will be good in the end. It's just that one process is simpler and the other is more difficult. It seems that you are a good person and are blessed by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable."
The man had a big smile on his face and quickly thanked Fang Lin. Just as he was about to leave, a woman ran over.
The woman grabbed the man and said, "Go back quickly. Weren't you thinking about whether to let your son marry his childhood sweetheart cousin or the rich landlord's daughter? Don't think about it anymore. My younger brother has made a fortune in recent years. If your son marries my niece, his life will be better in the future." That proved that Fang Lin hadn't made a mistake in his divination. One was the obvious wealth that could be seen directly, and the other was the wealth that needed more consideration. It was precisely because their son insisted on marrying his cousin that such a good result occurred.
The man immediately shouted that Fang Lin was a divine diviner and wanted to stuff money to Fang Lin, but Fang Lin refused. Fang Lin didn't expect that it would come true so quickly. It was really the help of heaven. Looking at the people beside him who were asking for divination, Fang Lin smiled slightly, knowing that his reputation had already been established, and things would be easier from then on. Fellow Taoists, I see that your foreheads are dark, which is an ominous sign. The solution is very simple. I recommend you to add a bookmark. In this way, naturally, you will be blessed by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.
