Chapter 463 Visiting the Fortune-Telling Stall and Asking About Brother Zhaiyue
In front of Yuanxiao, the map of Donghaizhou was blank, with only the rough outline of the entire Donghaizhou border.
Yuanxiao took the vicinity of Shenxian Mountain in Song State as the starting point and drew a straight line directly to the middle of the easternmost coastline of Donghaizhou. Suddenly, the possible routes appeared in front of Yuanxiao.
Brother Zhaiyue knew the way back to Qunshan Island. Because he had lost all his magic power, he would definitely give priority to taking a route close to a straight line and try not to take a detour.
Yuanxiao didn't know which countries he passed through in Donghaizhou for the time being. He could only ask clearly after entering Donghaizhou. But which countries Beipingzhou passed through was now clear at a glance.
Song State went straight to the direction of Qunshan Island in Donghaizhou, passing through Wei, Zhao, Xiaoyao, Xiaodong, Xiaolin, and Donglin. After leaving Donglin, it entered the territory of Donghaizhou.
According to Brother Zhaiyue's love of excitement, he would definitely not take the path through the wilderness. The towns he passed through in a straight line might leave his footprints.
Yuanxiao suddenly remembered that Brother Zhaiyue had another good skill to make a living when he was out, that is, to tell fortunes and divinations at a stall, and he could also tell stories. It is estimated that he did a lot of business along the way. Brother Zhaiyue is good at cheating and deceiving people, even if he can't tell the right thing, he can probably fool others.
Yuanxiao smiled, this is easy to do, every time he arrives in a town, he will first visit the place where the stalls are set up for fortune-telling, and then go to the teahouse where people tell stories when he has time, maybe he can ask Brother Zhaiyue about his news.
In addition, Brother Zhaiyue has a pointed face, a mustache, and a wretched face. Such a wretched old man, coupled with his boastful and face-saving personality, it is estimated that people who have seen him will also have a deep impression and will not forget it easily!
If Brother Zhaiyue's magic power has not been restored, it is actually not that difficult to find Brother Zhaiyue!
Because in that case, Brother Zhaiyue will walk very slowly. Although it has been about a year, if he walks on his two legs, although he may have walked out of Song State, he should not have walked out of the neighboring Wei State.
If Brother Zhaiyue can get out of Wei and enter Zhao or even the countries ahead, it means that he has at least recovered a little bit of mana, for example, he can fly with a sword above the 6th level of Qi Refining, although it is very slow.
Yuanxiao entered the warehouse in the back mountain and first purified a large number of medium-grade and high-grade spiritual stones to ensure that the Golden Sect has sufficient reserves. Then he transferred all the divine stone ore piled up like a mountain in the space of the Qiankun Box to an independent space opened up in the Apocalypse World.
Because Yuanxiao may often use the space of the immortal Qiankun Box to carry or hide other people or living things, the divine stone ore must be moved from the Qiankun Box to the more secretive Apocalypse World and slowly purified.
After that, Yuanxiao called Wang Wu and asked him to go to the Sanxian Market as soon as possible to contact Yuan Xianzi, the chief steward of Huiyuan Refining Pavilion, to send medium-grade elixirs and purchase a large number of low-grade spiritual tools to distribute to all disciples of the sect.
After finishing these things, Yuanxiao felt much more at ease, summoned Xiao Huang, and flew to Songnan City in the southeast of Song State.
There is a reason why Yuanxiao chose Songnan City in Song State as the starting point, because Songnan City is the first small town that passes by on the straight line from Shenxian Town to Qunshan Island. And even if Brother Zhaiyue walked slowly, he must have passed Songnan City and reached the front, so choosing Songnan City as the starting point is very conservative and will not miss anything.
When he arrived in Songnan City, Yuanxiao took Xiao Huang into the Apocalypse World to practice, and walked into Songnan City alone. He did nothing else, just walked along the street, only paying attention to the fortune-telling stalls.
Some fortune-telling stalls like to be placed in places with the largest flow of people, such as crossroads, in order to attract more customers.
Some fortune-tellers are more particular and like to set up stalls on the bridge. They pay attention to the fact that there is wind on the bridge and water under the bridge, which is regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land. He is also happy to set up stalls there.
Others like to set up stalls in old streets and alleys, paying attention to a quiet and natural place, returning to nature, leisurely and contented, and looking for opportunities.
Brother Zhaiyue likes to be in a lively place, so he would only choose the first one, which is the place with the most people. So Yuanxiao only paid attention to the fortune-telling stalls at major intersections or main streets.
People in the same industry ask each other, and they know each other best. If a strange fortune-teller comes occasionally, it will spread to the ears of fortune-tellers in the whole city in a few days. There are circles in any industry.
Sure enough, at a street corner, Yuanxiao saw a fortune-telling stall.
It can be seen at a glance that this is a fortune-teller who has been in the industry for a long time. He is a particular person. He did not put the props and instruments directly on the ground, but had a formal wooden table. The eight-diagram plate, six-line copper coins, tortoise shells and bone tiles were all placed on the table, neatly arranged.
There are two signs hanging on both sides of the stall, the left one is "Divine Calculation" and the right one is "Sincerity is the Key". The old man looks over 60 years old, but he is in good spirits.
The old man's eyes are bright, and he has actually noticed Yuanxiao, because Yuanxiao is also looking for a fortune-telling stall. The old man has been setting up stalls for many years. As long as someone on the street looks at him carefully, he can basically detect it. This is also a necessary skill for doing business, otherwise how can he find customers.
"My friend, do you want to calculate the opportunity or see the good and bad fortune?" The old man took the initiative to speak.
"Old sir, the junior is polite!" Yuanxiao bowed his hands seriously.
"Although the young friend is young, he is confident and generous. I think he is not an ordinary person and must hold great power." The old man took a serious look at Yuanxiao and continued.
Yuanxiao was shocked and thought that this fortune-telling old man was actually very discerning. In the field of fortune-telling, there are of course many swindlers, but there are also many people who have real talents and are very proficient in feng shui divination.
"My dear friend, you seem to be here to see me, but you also seem not to be here to see me. Why?" the old gentleman asked.
Yuanxiao then said, "The old gentleman has a keen eye, that's true. I came to the old gentleman to inquire about a person who is in the same line of business as you. Of course, whether the old gentleman knows the news or not, as long as he replies to me, I will still pay the old gentleman for fortune-telling."
"Oh, in the same line of business? Tell me, if you have set up a stall in Songnan City, I should know a little news." The old gentleman was very confident. Their circle often had internal exchanges, and news about fortune-tellers spread quickly.
"An old man with a pointed face, monkey cheeks, and a moustache, and a not very good-looking face. He should have passed by here a year ago or more than half a year ago." Yuanxiao said.
"Are you enemies or friends?" the old gentleman suddenly asked.
"To be honest, we are friends regardless of age. He is my elder brother." Yuanxiao said with a smile.
"In that case, I can tell you. If you are enemies, I won't tell you, because if you meet each other, it will be bad for me." The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"The old man is really a master, these rules will never be outdated, I admire you!" Yuan Xiao said sincerely.
"Is this old man you are talking about a bit of a boaster, and he doesn't know what to say?" The old man laughed as soon as he finished speaking. Of course he knew this old man Zhaiyue!
