The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

After breakfast, Shan Yangze took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and handed them over.

The Montenegrin old demon is actually a rich man. He sits on an entire mountain. I won’t say much about the local products produced on the mountain. Usually, there should not be too many hunters or black eaters. Even the soul and flesh were completely divided among the people in Montenegro, and there was nothing monsters wanting such money and things.

Not to mention copper plates, the original owner even left a lot of gold and silver items.

But it's a pastime for the boss to pay the bill with broken silver for breakfast.

Shan Yangze originally planned to exchange the mountain goods for some silver or something, but after thinking about it, there is actually no essential difference between directly using the old demon's silver and exchanging the old demon's things for silver, so he used it with confidence. .

The second thing is, Shan Yangze went to the cloth shop to buy white cloth, and then went to the grocery store to buy pens and inks, so a big "Yin House, Yang House, Iron Gate Breaks" was written.

Then Shanyangze held the cloth and tossed back and forth on the road.

Heishan Town is in the southwestern region, and it is a medium-sized town. There are four villages under it, with a total of more than [-] households and a permanent population of more than [-]. Moreover, according to the three main tea-horse roads in this place, there are only three or three. The forty-mile road looks like, and the foot journey is a little faster in one day. Therefore, although it is not on the main road of the tea-horse road, it can barely be regarded as the intersection of the three tea-horse roads, so there are also a lot of foreigners.

The Tea Horse Road is similar to the Silk Road in the north. It is a channel for private commerce. Tea, salt, and daily necessities are transported here, and horses, Tibetan medicine, etc. are exchanged for horses, Tibetan medicine, etc., and even go further. , over the mountains, and brought foreign artifacts.

Because tea and horses were the main traded goods, it was called this name: Tea Horse Road.

It is said that one of the three tea-horse roads is the way Princess Wencheng went to Tibet.

With such a big market, the business of the Taoist priests must be very good. Shan Yangze is very confident, but until lunch, there is no business.

If you think about it carefully, you still have to blame yourself.

Why?Black Mountain Town is at the foot of Montenegro, and then what?There is a locust tree spirit on Montenegro who claims that he can’t let go of a ghost. The newly appointed old Heishan demon can figure it out without pinching his fingers. Heishan Town has not been haunted by ghosts for almost 1000 years...

In addition, the black mountain old monster has high mana, and the little monsters under him are not the kind who like to be lively. Didn't those monsters look at him with strange eyes when Shan Yangze said to go down the mountain?

So with this shelter, although the resident population of the town believes in ghosts and gods, it can be said that they have never seen a ghost. Even the first seven festivals with a high probability of seeing ghosts, because of the locust tree spirit, have gone home too much in the past 1000 years. Seven ghosts...one didn't.

Even if it's a errand, because the locust tree spirit is accompanied by a black dog, he seldom comes to Montenegro to arrest his soul, so this place has almost become a place where no one cares.

What should I do?

Shan Yangze thought about it, and then went to buy another piece of white cloth. This time, the slogan was written more straightforwardly, "Block evil and change luck", this is aimed at businessmen who come and go.

The tea-horse road is very dangerous, especially in the southwestern region where the mountains are steep, the altitude is high, and there is snow all the year round. If one is not careful, his life will be confessed.

It didn't take long for Shanyangze to be stopped by someone after hanging the sign saying stop evil spirits and change luck.

The man on the opposite side looked to be in his thirties, with a big belly and white and tender hands, he looked like someone who didn't need to work, Shan Yangze looked him up and down a few times, but didn't speak.

But his shoes are made of cloth, and they look very new. Could it be a local?

Anyone who walks a long distance knows that shoes need to be worn in, especially the merchants who walk the tea-horse road. First, they will not wear such new shoes. Most of the shoes are made of cowhide, and the bottom is also very thick.They are said to be shoes, but they are actually more like boots. They are tied from the feet to the thighs, which are both warm and moisture-proof.

The potbellied potential client looked Shan Yangze up and down, and said with a smile, "Shall we go to the teahouse?"

The fortune-telling business, in modern terms, relies on psychology at the beginning, the only way is to let the other party speak first, and the more he talks, the more he will be fooled.

Of course, you must have real skills, but if you don't bluff people in the first place, the rewards after this will be greatly reduced.

Although Shan Yangze used some of the money of the old demon from Montenegro, he intends to be self-sufficient and rely on his real ability to eat, and he will return as much as he can afterwards, and then live like a person, so for this first order Business, although it can't reflect his full foundation and superb magic power, he still treats it with caution.

Shan Yangze nodded slightly, played the role of a worldly expert to the fullest, and followed the big belly man to the teahouse.This person picked an outdoor table, and there was no one on either side, as if he didn't want others to know.

The two sat down, Xiao Er served a pot of tea, and the man with a big belly said: "You look familiar, you seem to have just come to Heishan Town."

is a local.

This remark does not hit the point, but there is also a saying that what he is going to say next may not be easy to say, especially if it may violate the moral norms of ordinary people, of course it is the same for unimportant things It's a saying, but it doesn't matter who will come to the fortune teller?

Shan Yangze nodded slightly, and said: "I arrived this morning, and the hexagram says that there is a great opportunity here."

The big-bellied man turned his gaze to one side and said, "I am the owner of the rice shop in this town. I am thirty-five this year. My parents are here, I have a wife and children, and I have a younger brother."

After saying this, the big-bellied man began to organize his words again.

Shan Yangze said: "Parents, younger brother." These two words are the key points of the last sentence.

Let’s talk about parents first. A middle-aged man with a successful career like this can support his family on his own. In front of his wife and children, so what he wants to ask must be related to his parents.

Down is the younger brother, this is better understood.Now is the Ming Dynasty, basically speaking, a concubine will not be treated as a human being, so this younger brother must be relative, but a person who has already married and established a business is less likely to mention his younger brother than his parents, so this person It is also key.

Sure enough, the man with the belly immediately changed his expression.

Shan Yangze nodded and said, "Continue."

The big-bellied man was in awe, with a more respectful expression on his face, and said: "I saw you this morning, I didn't expect you to be young..." The calculation was so accurate.

The shell of the Montenegro old demon has now been transformed into its original appearance by Shanyangze. How old is Shanyangze?Started at the age of seven, learned the craft from the master for 15 years, and is just 22 now.

This age is actually not very young in ancient times when the average life expectancy was only in the early forties. However, the ordinary people understand that they must be at least four or fifty years old, and it is better to have white hair and white beard to be more trustworthy. Therefore, The big-bellied man just observed him and didn't come forward to inquire all morning.

Shan Yangze wanted to imitate his master by stroking his beard, but his chin was bare and he had nothing. He looked at the big-bellied man, and since the first step was right, the next step can be continued, "Your father We will encounter a hurdle soon."

This is also a guess, if it is put in modern times, it is still a bet between parents and half, but in ancient times, mother can put it aside for the time being.Then the face of the big belly man changed again.

He took a long breath and said: "Although I am the boss, the land deed property is all in the hands of the old man. And...my brother is their old man, and he is only seventeen this year."

Having said that, the big belly man stopped.

Shan Yangze looked at his face, although he was so fat that his facial features were a bit crowded, but his features were still quite obvious.

Generally speaking, the nose has flesh, and the earlobes are thick. It is a face of good luck and wealth.

"No problem." Shan Yangze shook his head and said, "It's yours, after all it's yours."

After talking so much, the big-bellied man finally relaxed, put his hands on the table and held the teacup, leaned forward slightly, and wanted to talk to Shan Yangze about the core content.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a cashier came over not far away, with an anxious expression on his face.When he saw the big-bellied man, he was overjoyed, hurried over to invite him up, and the two walked a few steps away, whispering.

If it was when Shanyangze was still a person, he would not be able to hear it, but now... being a monster is not without any benefits, although it is not as good as clairvoyance, but if it is within three to five meters I can't even hear the voice of the black mountain old demon, and the thousands of cultivations of the black mountain old demon are about to go into the dog's belly.

"The master fainted again, the doctor hasn't come yet, the house is in chaos, the old lady is holding the second master and crying non-stop, the wife tells you to go back quickly!"

Shan Yangze pretended not to hear anything, and sat upright, looking at the teapot without squinting.

The big-bellied man came over, and the relief on his face was gone. He said in a hurry, "I have something urgent at home, so I'm leaving first. The sir just arrived this morning, so he probably hasn't found a place to stay yet. Why don't you let me give you a place to stay?" Arrange it."

Shan Yangze nodded in agreement, and the big-bellied man left in a hurry.

The clerk stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Sir, please follow me."

Shan Yangze followed behind him, but he felt a little strange, this guy was not facing the right way.

The big-bellied man just now is a wealthy and blessed face, but he has no official position, but this one... looks like he should be a public servant, and his position is not low. How could he work as a clerk in someone else's rice shop?

The clerk took Shan Yangze to a small inn in the town, opened a room that was not too high and not too low, and said: "Our host's surname is Qi, and I ordered it before leaving, either tonight, or It's tomorrow morning, I will come to visit Mr.

Shan Yangze nodded, and became more interested in the identity of this guy, "Who are you?"

The clerk grinned and said, "I'm just someone who can't get on the stage. My surname is Zhang, and my boss calls me Zhang San."
