Chapter 479 Bad luck and cage(1/3)
The young man had an orchid on his head, a pair of swords hanging on his waist, and was dressed in white as he crossed the river.
——Li Chengfeng.
At this moment, Wu Xiaode changed his identity and turned into Li Chengfeng again, coming to the era of demon tribulation and annihilation of the world.
Seeing Shen Xiujun continue to feel deflated, he gradually felt relieved.
Now that Zhao Junyu had taken control of the situation, he returned to this era and came to look for the next "Tomb of the Laws" deck.
The female God of Death once left a message to herself——
"I saw the broken vitality attached to this card..."
"If you can find all the 'Tomb of the Laws' deck without being taken away by the Robbers, then we have a real glimmer of hope."
I already have a "Star of Eternal Night".
Next, it’s time to find the next card in the deck.
The ferry docks.
The young man followed everyone off the boat and walked slowly towards the lively city ahead.
The men, women, old and young he met along the way were in ragged clothes and disheveled faces. Wu Xiaode looked at them carefully and saw that they all had panicked expressions and were walking fast.
The direction everyone is heading towards is the city in front of them.
Wu Xiaode followed the current and soon arrived near the city gate.
I saw two rows of human soldiers holding swords and wearing armors guarding the city gate, and two young men wearing Taoist robes stood in the crowd.
A soldier kept shouting:
"Civilians go directly to the city! Those who are proficient in martial arts register here, receive money, food, soldiers, armor, cards in the city, and preferential treatment."
Wu Xiaode looked at the soldiers and saw that they were nervous and holding a kind of magic plate, aiming it at every common person.
The Dharma plate kept making "buzz" and "buzz" sounds.
Whenever the dharma plate was sounded, the soldiers would get out of the way and let the people in front of them enter the city.
From this point of view, the Dharma plate should be an identification tool.
Another strong man came directly to the two young men in Taoist robes and talked about his skills.
While talking, he also put on a posture and used some punches.
After the big man finished punching, he looked towards the two Taoist priests.
The Taoist priest shook his head, pointed to the city gate, and motioned for him to enter the city directly.
——This means treating him as an ordinary person.
The big man showed a sad expression and turned towards the city gate.
Wu Xiaode said to himself: "This city is still recruiting people everywhere... and for what purpose?"
Suddenly someone answered:
"After all the powerful people on the human race died, a city was massacred by the Qilin monster, and other vicious guys were born one after another. Of course everyone was nervous."
Wu Xiaode turned his head and looked.
I saw an old man holding a bamboo stick squatting in a hut set up by the road.
There was a piece of paper in front of the old man, which said:
"Ask about the bad luck of the four seasons and predict the good and bad fortune of the day and night."
——It turned out to be a fortune teller.
Wu Xiaode nodded at him and started to walk towards the city gate.
The old man suddenly spoke again:
"That boy with the flowers on his hair, you can't go to this city."
Wu Xiaode stopped, raised his hands and asked, "Why can't I go?"
The old man pointed at the paper on the ground with a stick and said with a smile:
"The old man also wants to eat. Just bring me the money and I will show you a clear way."
Wu Xiaode was a little amused, shook his head, and walked forward.
After taking a few steps, the old man's dissatisfied muttering reached his ears again:
"Obviously I have so many gold bricks on my body, but I only use them to treat injuries and illnesses, and I am not willing to use them to give the old man a full meal."
Wu Xiaode paused again.
The white coat I wore belonged to Li Chengfeng, and it didn't even have any pockets.
Only the Ring of the Holy Treasure contains a batch of gold bricks——
It was prepared for Ulysses so that he could put it on his head at any time during the battle and use healing techniques to save himself.
How does this old man know?
Wu Xiaode simply walked back, squatted down in front of the old man, and asked:
"How many do you want?"
The old man smiled, showing his yellow teeth, stretched out three fingers and said:
"Just take out all three thousand gold bricks."
Wu Xiaode was silent.
I did prepare a full three thousand gold bricks.
"You're pretty good at this. How did you calculate this number?"
Wu Xiaode asked.
"As long as I count the things in this world, there is nothing I don't know." The old man said proudly.
"If you have the ability, why don't you go to the city gate and talk to the two Taoists to get some money and rice for your enjoyment?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"That won't work."
The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp and he lowered his voice and said: "All living beings are trapped here. In fact, everyone's fate is determined. No one can save them - the only one who has hope is you, kid."
"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Bring me three thousand gold bricks, I'll tell you right now." The old man stared at him.
Wu Xiaode reached out and touched the ring.
As soon as the three thousand gold bricks were taken out, they disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the old man again, he couldn't even hide the joy on his face.
"Can we talk now?"
Wu Xiaode asked angrily.
"Okay, okay - let me tell you this, your boy's bones are amazing, and there is a spiritual light emerging from the Tianling Cap. It is really incredible. You have a little more hope than all living beings." The old man said.
"Three thousand gold bricks, is this your answer?"
Wu Xiaode asked with drooped eyelids.
Money is a trivial matter.
If you have the ability to do things with money, I have nothing to say.
But if you want to take money and do nothing, and then you lie to me, then I won't obey you.
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the handle of the knife at his waist, with a hint of a smile but not a smile at the corner of his mouth.
The old man saw this and kept saying:
"Brother, don't be so angry. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Please give me some advice." Wu Xiaode said.
The old man swallowed and explained slowly:
"The reason why we fortune tellers can calculate the blessings and misfortunes of all living beings is because we use the horoscopes to calculate the initial constitution of the human body——"
"To put it in a way you can understand, the horoscope is the factory setting of the human body."
"As soon as you look at the factory settings and know how the seven emotions and six desires of this body are composed and how they influence destiny, you can make a decision - is this simple?"
"Your metaphor is interesting. If you put it this way, the body is the prison of the soul." Wu Xiaode joked with a smile.
There was a little solemnity in his eyes.
——The old man’s words reminded me of “prison of sin”.
Probably not a liar.
"You continue talking." Wu Xiaode said with cupped hands.
