In August, it was drizzling, adding a touch of coolness to the hot summer.
Chu Yunfeng held an umbrella, his eyes filled with confusion as he strolled through the lonely streets.
It was said that graduation was equivalent to losing one's job, and it was also said that graduation was equivalent to falling out of love.
Chu Yunfeng was like this. A year after graduation, he was still a person without a career, property, parents, or inheritance. Thinking of his girlfriend who had just called to talk about breaking up, Chu Yunfeng's heart was filled with grievance.
In fact, Chu Yunfeng had a premonition about his girlfriend's departure, so he didn't feel reluctant. They were separated from each other all year round, and he was in such a situation. Why should he make her wait?
The reason why he was at a loss and depressed was because he had lost confidence in the future. He always had a feeling that the world was too big for him.
As he was walking around, he suddenly heard a voice shouting in his ear,""Little brother, do you want to read my fortune?"
Chu Yunfeng was startled. He looked in the direction of the voice and found a small stall in a remote corner of the quiet alley. Behind the stall was an old man with a sage-like appearance. He was stroking his snow-white beard and waving a paper fan at him.
"Me?"
Chu Yunfeng looked around and pointed at himself.
The old man laughed.”
Chu Yunfeng smiled and shook his head."I'm sorry, I don't have money!" After saying that, he looked at the old man and added," If you want to earn money, it's better to go to a crowded place!”
Alright, he actually wanted to say that if he wanted to swindle money, he should find a lively place! This alley had many twists and turns, and it was extremely remote. He had come here because he was confused. Other than him, who else would come here? How can you cheat money without popularity?
The old man smiled." This old man only looks at fate and fortune. He doesn't look at money!"”
Chu Yunfeng pursed his lips. This was the usual trick of a scammer!
"Sir, I'm sorry! I still have things to do."
Chu Yunfeng waved his hand and turned to leave.
Not to mention that he never believed in this, even if he did, he wouldn't find a guy who was obviously a liar!
"Young man, your expression is gloomy, and your eyes are filled with confusion and grief. You must have encountered something sad, right? Just treat it as a casual chat! "You know, many times, even if you spend money, you won't be able to find someone who will listen to you." The old man wasn't annoyed by Chu Yunfeng's rejection, but he tried to persuade him to stay.
Chu Yunfeng ignored him, but after a few steps, he turned around and smiled bitterly.""Perhaps what you said makes sense!"
He had no talent, no wealth, no family background, and no looks. This also caused his reticent and introverted personality. He had few friends to begin with, and after his parents passed away in an accident two years ago, his life became even more boring, so there was really no one he could talk to wholeheartedly.
Just treat it as spending money to buy a chat partner!
He walked to the old man, touched his pocket, and added,""Let me say this first. I'm a poor man and don't have much money! If you want to rely on me to make a fortune, then you're looking for the wrong person!”
The old man laughed again, then sighed,""Who in the world would say that? Don't worry about fame and fortune. When you are in a hurry, you can drink ten minutes of wine, and when you are in a hurry, you can recite a hundred poems. Outside the world, the haze is a companion, and the sun and moon in the pot are as beautiful as the moon. At that time, his achievements were all over the place, and he drove straight into the cave.”
Chu Yunfeng shrugged." Sir, although I graduated from liberal arts, I don't know much about poetry." He paused for a moment and then smiled sadly." But I like this poem very much. Unfortunately, I'm not destined to live that kind of life!"”
"What is fate? What is fate?"
The old man chuckled." You and I don't know each other, but we can sit together and talk about everything. What's the difference between fate and fate?”
"Master, I'm neither a monk nor a Taoist priest, so I don't know how to play Zen!" Chu Yunfeng smiled bitterly.”
The old man smiled again.”
Chu Yunfeng was silent for a moment before asking,""Do you know that fate can be changed?”
The old man shook his head." What happened can't be changed. The future is already decided!" If someone told you that he could defy the heavens and change his fate, then you could basically confirm that he was a liar!”
"Since fate cannot be changed, what is the point of knowing the future?”Chu Yunfeng sighed helplessly.
"At least you won't be confused anymore!" The old man sighed and smiled." Of course, you actually have a chance to change your fate when you meet me."
Chu Yunfeng smacked his lips." Sir, you just told me that anyone who says they can change fate is a liar."
" You've left out a qualifier." The old man laughed." I said 'basically' for sure. Since it's basically, it means that there must be exceptions!”
Chu Yunfeng was speechless.
Alright, you're the one who's saying the opposite!
The old man carefully sized him up and nodded.""It's not bad to hide a dragon and not ask for favors!”
"Hidden Dragon? What did he mean? Book of Changes? Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"
Chu Yunfeng felt uncomfortable being seen by him and quickly changed the topic.
The old man did not answer his question. Instead, he asked,""Little guy, do you like to play online games?”
Chu Yunfeng was startled. He scratched his head and replied,""I guess I like him! When I have nothing to do, I often use it to kill time."
"This old man will give you a gift. How about it?" The old man chuckled.”
"A gift?"
Chu Yunfeng was a little confused by the changing topic." Why are we talking about gifts again?”
"This is it."
The old man waved his hand and took out a green jade pendant from somewhere and placed it in Chu Yunfeng's hand. He smiled and said," But you can't pass on the scriptures easily, and you can't take the techniques easily, you know!"”
Chu Yunfeng's mouth twitched. The more he looked at this old man, the more he looked like a liar.
but.
He looked at the jade pendant, but for some reason, his heart was filled with greed. It was as if a vague feeling was telling him that if he missed this little thing, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
"How much more?" Chu Yunfeng gritted his teeth and asked.
As the saying goes, a thousand gold can't buy my willingness. Since I want it in my heart, I don't care if it's true or not!
The old man stroked his long beard and said very straightforwardly,""274.70!"
It wasn't too expensive, but it wasn't cheap either. Even if it was fake, Chu Yunfeng could still afford it. But why did this price make him feel a little strange?
"Why are there zeros and zeros?"
"Because you only have so much money on you!" The old man replied matter-of-factly.”
Chu Yunfeng was stunned again. He took out his wallet from his pocket and poured out all the money.
274.70 yuan, not a single cent more, not a single cent less!
Chu Yunfeng looked at the paper tickets and two coins on the table, his face full of horror."Who exactly are you? Magician? A magician? Are you kidding me?"
"You don't need to know who I am yet!”
The old man waved his paper fan and smiled." I just hope that you won't waste my good intentions. I'm done for today. You can go now."
"Little fellow, I hope that we will meet again one day!”
.....．
Chu Yunfeng returned to his own room in a daze. When he opened the door and lay on the bed, he shivered.
It was only then that he realized that he had returned home!
"You met a deity? Or did you encounter a resentful ghost?"
This was Chu Yunfeng's first thought.
On a gloomy rainy day, in a quiet and deserted alley, the street corner was like a fairy (or a ghost?）The white-bearded old man looked a little strange.
Although it was a rainy day, it was still hot. The air in the room was hot and stuffy, like a big steamer. However, Chu Yunfeng broke out in a cold sweat for some reason.
It was only when the waves of coolness that seeped into his lungs continuously soothed his beating heart that he gradually calmed down.
He let out a long breath and strangely rummaged through his clothes, only to find a green jade pendant.
He didn't know when he had hung it on his chest, but he knew that this little thing was really magical. In such a hot and humid air, he only felt a cool chill when he held it in his hand.
"I think the coolness that came from my heart just now was this little thing, right? What exactly was this? Better than air conditioning!"
Chu Yunfeng held the green jade and looked at it curiously under the light. Although he knew that this thing was a gift from an old man who was unknown whether he was an immortal or a ghost, he still couldn't bear to throw it away.
Under the white light, the jade looked even greener and more flamboyant. It was so green that water seemed to drip out!
Then, it really dripped water!
A drop of emerald green liquid fell from the bottom of the jade stone and landed between Chu Yunfeng's eyebrows, forming a strange green mark.
Then…Chu Yunfeng felt his vision turn black and he lost consciousness.
