our supernatural life
Chapter 25 Past and Present
"Guizi'er - native place, Binhai; transformation time, 1938, huh? Emperor's liquid transformation? Good luck."
Mai Mai was confused when he heard it, and now there was darkness in front of him again, he groped and tugged at the corner of Shao Jing's clothes: "What is Diliuye?"
"That's a good thing." Shao Jing laughed, "Only one Jiazi can be found in the moonlight of Gengshen Ye. It's shaped like an olive strung together with golden threads. If you can absorb the essence of plants and trees, it can be worth a thousand in one night. A hundred years of cultivation. Otherwise, your friend is just a hundred-year-old sweet-scented osmanthus tree, how can you cultivate a human form?"
Gui Zi'er has calmed down a little now, and reiterated his rights: "I have a security certificate, and I have a local household registration."
"I know." Shao Jing casually tossed the security card back to her, "I didn't want to do anything, I just came to see Mai Mai's friend. Your friend who is a Chinese medicine practitioner, Cao Sanxiu, is she the essence of Zhicao?"
Gui Zier said nervously, "Sister Sanxiu is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and the medicine she prescribed is the dew from Yuan's body. It's a good thing."
Shao Jing nodded: "I know, Sanxiu, Zhicaoye, you can tell by the name. Thank you very much."
"What's there to thank, Maizi and I are friends. It's a pity that Sister Sanxiu can't help..."
"Yeah. He hit a catastrophe, it's not an ordinary eye disease, and the ganoderma is useless."
"The catastrophe?" Gui Zi'er was also confused, "How did he hit the catastrophe? Then, can Maizi's eyes be cured?"
Shao Jing said unhappily: "I don't know how you monsters cultivate. A rabbit is transformed into a bath water with thousand-year-old ginseng essence, like an idiot; I know! As a monster, don’t you need to learn anything? How did you get your security card?”
Gui Zi'er muttered, "You don't need to graduate from any school for a security certificate."
Shao Jing was really speechless to this kind of monster: "Forget it, I won't tell you more. The wheat from this store must be transferred out, otherwise his eyes won't come back."
Gui Zier yelled, "Transfer the store? To whom?"
Shao Jing said impatiently: "Put up a transfer notice and give it to whoever wants it. Hurry up now, let's settle your salary first, shall we?"
Gui Zi'er was dumbfounded: "Transfer, transfer... Will the person from that shop still open a pastry shop? If not, what should I do?"
Shao Jing pondered for a while: "Let Mai Mai make up half a year's wages for you, and then you can find a job. According to your skills, it is not difficult to find another job."
Guizier turned to Maizi: "Maizi, are you really not going to open a shop anymore?"
Mai also felt uncomfortable, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Zi'er, I really can't open this store."
Shao Jing said impatiently: "If you have anything else, you can say it now. For the sake of the Millennium Ganoderma Lucidum you got, just say it."
"I..." Gui Zi'er lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, "Actually, I haven't saved enough money."
Shao Jing frowned: "What do you want money for? If you are a beast monster, you still need food and lodging. You are a monster of grass and trees, so you don't need any of these?"
Gui Zier jumped up: "Who said there is no need! My original body was in an old yard in Cangkou District. Now that area is being remodeled and the house is about to be demolished. What should I do? I chopped it down when the house was demolished. , What should I do! I didn’t save any money before, but now I know that I need to relocate the original body, which will cost a lot of money! It will be completely demolished during the Chinese New Year, and I haven’t saved enough money yet!”
Shao Jing sneered: "So that's what happened, what's so difficult about it, you are considered a hundred-year-old tree. As long as the news is published in the newspapers, the Garden Bureau will naturally protect you."
Gui Zi'er's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
Shao Jing snorted: "No brains!"
Gui Zi'er didn't care about this insulting accusation amidst his joy, he smirked for a while, and said, "Yes, I asked Xiao Hui to handle this matter, he is a reporter."
Shao Jing said casually: "Who is Xiao Hui? You have a lot of spirits and monsters."
Gui Zi'er slipped his tongue and panicked: "Xiao Hui is a good--good monster, he keeps his own place."
Shao Jing hit the nail on the head: "You don't have a security certificate?"
Gui Zi'er was in a hurry: "I don't have a security certificate because Xiao Hui has only been in shape for a few years, but he is good, good, good... Anyway, he is a good monster."
Shao Jing waved his hand: "I'm not a member of the Demon Supervisory Council, so don't care about it. Anyway, this store has to be sold immediately. You should clean up your things first, and then write a transfer and post it."
Gui Zi'er said generously: "Since there is a way to move, then I don't need to pay any salary. Maizi is not rich, so let's keep it. But what are you going to do in the future, Maizi? If you still open a dim sum shop, you can find me again." ! I think you have a lot of good ideas, isn't it good for us to open a store together?"
Wheat smiled bitterly.Why didn't he think so?The cooperation with Chunchengzhu has just started, and everything is very promising. Now that he wants to give up, he feels more uncomfortable than anyone else.
Shao Jing knocked on the table at the right time: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these things, hurry up and do the notice. Mai's eyes are inconvenient, so you should worry more about it."
Gui Zier scratched his head: "It's not difficult, the ground is good, if you want to turn, you can turn it out quickly."
Shao Jing glanced at Mai Mai's pale face, nodded casually, and pulled Mai Mai to stand up: "Okay, then you can do it, I'll take him back first."
The pastry shop really moved quickly, because the asking price was cheap, and the shop changed hands in two weeks.Mai donated all the lottery winnings to the Hope Project, and even added some of his own money, but his eyes did not improve, and now he has been in darkness for 24 hours.Shao Jing went to find the disaster star, but every time he came back, he just shook his head.
"Wheat?" Shao Jing opened the door and came in, smelling the smell of alcohol in the room, frowned slightly, "Where is it?"
"Here..." Mai Mai sat on the floor in her room holding a can of beer.The floor was wiped clean by him, and a sheet was spread. It was the end of summer, and it was not cold to sit on the floor, but comfortable.
Shao Jing frowned, dropped the bag and walked over: "What kind of wine?"
Mai Mai fumbled and opened a can for him: "Help me see, isn't the moon outside?"
Shao Jing originally wanted to scold him for his "decadent" behavior, but after hearing this, he felt inexplicably sour, so he took a beer and sat down beside him: "There is no moon today, it is cloudy."
"Oh--" Mai Mai took a sip of beer and shook the can lightly, "Shao Jing, why did you come to Binhai?"
"Huh?" Shao Jing frowned, "Of course there is something to do."
Mai Mai laughed: "You are so rich, you can't live in Binhai, why do you want to come to my house and share the rent with me?"
Shao Jing was displeased: "Why, if I have money, I can't rent a house together? If I have money, should I be extravagant?"
Mai Mai leaned her head on the side of the bed: "Don't lie to me, you can save money, of course, but with your temper, you can't live with others at all. And you said save money, it doesn't cost a thousand and one thousand to rent this house together. , is this saving money?"
Shao Jing was a little embarrassed by his question, and just about to get angry, Mai Mai turned his head to him: "Are you going to get angry?"
He opened his eyes, which looked extraordinarily dark and large under the dim light, but they were lifeless.Looking into these eyes, Shao Jing's heart softened suddenly, and he sighed: "That's right, there is indeed a reason why I share the rent with you."
"Tell me?" Mai Mai took another sip of beer and looked at Shao Jing expectantly.
Shao Jing was silent for a long time, then suddenly took a few gulps from the jar, and let out a long breath: "Do you believe in past and present lives?"
"Past life and present life?" Mai Mai thought for a while, "I didn't believe it at first. But now I have seen ghosts, monsters and gods, so I don't want to believe it, can I?"
"Well. The so-called reincarnation is real, but once a person is reincarnated, the memory of the previous life will be washed away by a bowl of Mengpo soup, leaving no trace. However, I remember it."
"Why do you remember?" Mai Mai felt that God was really partial.Let's talk about Shao Jing. With a good background, good looks, and good abilities, even if his father died, it would be good for him to find a stepfather. How lucky is that?Now, people even have memories of previous lives!God's eyes are on the belly button, right?
Shao Jing laughed, but there was not much sense of laughter in that voice: "A bowl of Meng Po soup is not worth the mantra of purifying the heart. There is something in my body, a bodhi bead. The enchanting power of Meng Po Tang."
Wheat is even more unbalanced: "Why do you have Bodhi beads? What are Bodhi beads?"
"Bodhi bead..." Shao Jing pondered for a moment, "To be honest, I don't know what that bodhi bead is in my body. But I was born with the six-character mantra and the power of Buddhism because of this bead. "
Mai Mai stretched out her hand and patted him jealously: "Why are you taking advantage of all the good things?"
Shao Jing smiled wryly: "Is it a good thing? Maybe, but for me, this is not a blessing, but a debt."
"Debt? What kind of debt is this?" Mai Mai felt that the alcohol was a bit high, and her whole body became light, and she reached out to poke Shao Jing's ribs, "Such a good thing is also called a debt, and everyone wants it."
Shao Jing didn't answer, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette, took a puff and said slowly: "Do you remember my angina pectoris?"
Of course Wheat remembers.The two times when Shao Jing fell ill, he almost scared him to death: "Why, is that because of the Bodhi Pearl? Is that your debt?"
"Let's take a small punishment, almost once or twice a month."
Mai Mai felt a little startled: "Small punishment?" When Shao Jing fell ill, his face was pale and his lips were bitten off. It would not be an exaggeration to say that life would be worse than death.If you have to die like this once or twice a month, after so many years, you have to think about such things waiting all the time, then it is really... life is boring...
Shao Jing smiled lightly: "That's right, a small punishment. Compared to what I did to him, it's nothing."
"...What the hell did you do in your previous life?"
Shao Jing was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "It's a long story..."
This is indeed a long story.After Shao Jing clarified the messy things in his previous life, Xiaomai thought it would be the middle of the night, right?
"Am I an asshole?"
"...uh... quite a jerk." Mai said honestly.
Shao Jing laughed, threw away the empty beer can, and lay on his back on the floor: "Yes, I told you before that the worst thing in the world is to get someone in your hands and not cherish them. Just because I did I can't forgive my dad for doing such a goddamn thing."
Mai Mai fumbled and stretched out her hand to pat him, but couldn't help but think in her heart: I am not a family, if I don't enter a family, the ancients will not deceive me.
"Then what do you want to do now? Find that Shen Mobai?"
"Yes." Shao Jing said in a low voice, "I said that I must guard him for the rest of my life."
"But he also said that he didn't want to see you again, right?"
Shao Jing was hit to the point and was furious: "I will find him!"
Maybe Xiaomai was brave enough to point out the main point: "The problem is, are you forcing him like this? What if he just doesn't want to see you? Then you are no different from what you did in your previous life."
Shao Jing stopped talking, and after a while he said slowly, "It's fine if he doesn't want to see me, as long as I know where he is, who he is, and he's living in peace, that's fine."
"...Do you love him?" Mai Mai said a little sadly, anyway, such a relationship between past and future lives is rare.
"...At that time, I didn't know what love was..."
Wheat was lost for a while, and then remembered the question he wanted to ask: "No, you still didn't answer me, why did you come to me to share the rent? Is that person in Binhai?"
"Correct."
"how do you know?"
"It's obtained by divination."
Mai Mai was very surprised: "Is there such a god? Even reincarnation can be counted? Then have you found him?"
"It's not as magical as you think. Divination can only give a guide, but it doesn't mean it can clearly tell you who he is after reincarnation."
"Then what guidance did you get?" Thinking of the interpretation of the "greedy" hexagram, Xiaomai felt that this matter was indeed a miracle, "Did that old man from the east tell you the hexagram? Why is he so powerful?"
"Dongfang Shuo, do you know? The Dongfang family is his descendant, and they are good at divination."
"Really..." Mai could only marvel.
"Actually, people from the Dongfang family really don't do much divination. This, to some extent, is called leaking secrets. It is an act against the heavens. It will hurt yourself, so real experts rarely do it for others. This kind of thing. The first time I asked the old man Dongfang to divination for me was when I was 23 years old. At the end of that year, Zhong Leyang, a son of the Zhong family in Nanshan, celebrated his birthday. The coming-of-age ceremony was very grand, and I also went to participate. The old man Dongfang is over 90 years old, and he doesn’t go out easily. When that time came, I took advantage of the situation and begged him. Actually, I was still young at that time, and I didn’t know about such things It's not easy to ask for help, especially if you go directly to the head of the Dongfang family. If you change someone else, you will probably be beaten by the Dongfang family-who do you think you are, with such a big face? But the old man Dongfang is for the sake of the Zhang family , promised to give me a divination. At that time, "Yi" was used to obtain the Gen divination, which was a bad omen."
Mai Mai couldn't understand: "What does the Gen hexagram mean? Why is the omen not good?"
"The "Book of Changes" is profound, and I only know superficially. Gen hexagrams and hexagrams: Gen's back, not his body, walking in his court, not seeing his people, no fault. To me, even though there is no fault, it is also a bad omen."
Mai Mai didn't understand it very well, so she understood the phrase "Walking in the courtyard, not seeing the person": "That is to say, even if you go to someone's yard, you can't meet people, right?"
Shao Jing shook his head: "No, Yi Xiang's words are metaphors and cannot be understood directly. The central meaning of the Gen hexagram is to be restrained, to be realistic, and not to delusional beyond one's own status. Tell me clearly that I can't find it."
"But don't you still know that he is in Binhai?"
"That was five years later. I have never given up on getting that hexagram, but it is rare for old man Dongfang to make a move. It is only counted as a hexagram, and no one can invite him anymore. Besides, the rules of "Yi" cannot be for one thing. Repeatedly asking for hexagrams. When I was 25 years old, I had something to go to the South China Sea, so I made a special trip to Putuo Mountain to ask for a lottery: Blue Bridge is naturally a fairy cave, so why go up to Yuqing in a rugged way.”
Mai Mai has heard this line before: "The Blue Bridge doesn't seem to be in Binhai."
Shao Jing raised his hand and gave him a shudder: "I told you that the hexagram cannot be interpreted literally! This sign should mean that the person I am looking for is not far away from me, and there is no need to go to heaven or earth to suffer." Searching."
Mai Mai doubted: "Then you should look for it among the people around you?"
Shao Jing gave him another look: "If there was one, I would have found it long ago."
Mai Mai touched the top of her head and retorted him: "That's not necessarily true! How do you know which one is Shen Mobai's reincarnation? Is there a sign?"
Shao Jing replied decisively: "Yes!"
"Is there really a sign?" Now it was Mai's turn to be surprised, "What sign?"
"Did you see the birthmark on my chest? This is the imprint left by me cutting out the Bodhi Bead with a sword in my previous life. At that time, I put the Bodhi Bead on Mo Bai's chest, so there must be a mark on his chest!"
Wheat thinks something wrong: "Isn't it right? If you really took out the Bodhi Pearl, then why do you still say that the Bodhi Pearl brought you the six-character mantra, the true power of Buddhism, and so on. Besides, the chest There are many people with birthmarks, are they all the reincarnation of Shen Mobai? I still have a birthmark on my chest?"
"You have it too?" Shao Jing doubted, and reached out to uncover his clothes, "Where is it?"
"Hey, what are you doing!" Mai Mai felt a chill on her chest, and quickly grabbed the collar, "It's just a piece of red, I'll just talk about it."
Shao Jing withdrew his hand and lay down again.Mai Mai tightly buttoned it up: "You haven't explained why you came to Binhai."
"After I got the lottery, I still felt that I couldn't explain it, so I wanted to ask the eminent monk who I had studied Buddhism before. As a result, I didn't even see him a few times. Either I got sick halfway, or I met him. The road collapsed and I couldn’t move forward, or he wandered away when he got to the temple... Until February this year, Zhou Qi wanted me to come to Binhai to deal with something. I was planning to go to Mount Wutai for the fourth time, but the car broke down on the road again At that time, I was answering the phone call from Zhou Qi, and suddenly thought, this is obviously not letting me go to Wutai Mountain! It is the so-called "why go to Yuqing in the rough", so the blue bridge has its own fairy cave, maybe it is letting me let it go Naturally, it may mean that I should come to Binhai."
Mai Mai muttered: "It's far-fetched..."
Shao Jing raised his hand to give him another shot, but he took it back: "Indeed, to outsiders, it's far-fetched, but things like hexagrams are sometimes just a sudden inspiration, like a person who drinks water and knows whether he's warm or not. Outsiders may not be able to understand it. Anyway, I thought about it at the time, so I turned around and went to the Dongfang family."
"What are you doing at Dongfang's house? Isn't it impossible to calculate twice for one thing?"
"The first time I was asking for Yi, this time, I was asking for a ghost. And the first time I was asking whether people could be found, this time I was directly asking how to find people."
Mai Mai rubbed her chin: "Sophistry."
Shao Jing smiled wryly: "Yes, it's actually a sophistry, but I just want to find someone, so I can't take care of it."
"Will Mr. Dongfang recalculate for you?"
"Of course not. I didn't dare to look for him at all. I went directly to his grandson, Dongfang Liang Fushi. As a result, I got eight words: There are noble people in life, and you are the champion."
Mai Mai was even more confused: "What does that have to do with your renting a house?"
Shao Jing was silent for a moment, and said: "I just wanted to rent a house to live for a while, and I happened to see your rental advertisement at that time. I think you are the noble person mentioned in the scriptures, who can help me find Mobai." .”
Mai Mai's jaw almost dropped: "Me? I am your nobleman? How expensive do you think I am?"
"Your surname is the number one."
Mai Mai was confused when he heard it, and now there was darkness in front of him again, he groped and tugged at the corner of Shao Jing's clothes: "What is Diliuye?"
"That's a good thing." Shao Jing laughed, "Only one Jiazi can be found in the moonlight of Gengshen Ye. It's shaped like an olive strung together with golden threads. If you can absorb the essence of plants and trees, it can be worth a thousand in one night. A hundred years of cultivation. Otherwise, your friend is just a hundred-year-old sweet-scented osmanthus tree, how can you cultivate a human form?"
Gui Zi'er has calmed down a little now, and reiterated his rights: "I have a security certificate, and I have a local household registration."
"I know." Shao Jing casually tossed the security card back to her, "I didn't want to do anything, I just came to see Mai Mai's friend. Your friend who is a Chinese medicine practitioner, Cao Sanxiu, is she the essence of Zhicao?"

"What's there to thank, Maizi and I are friends. It's a pity that Sister Sanxiu can't help..."
"Yeah. He hit a catastrophe, it's not an ordinary eye disease, and the ganoderma is useless."
"The catastrophe?" Gui Zi'er was also confused, "How did he hit the catastrophe? Then, can Maizi's eyes be cured?"
Shao Jing said unhappily: "I don't know how you monsters cultivate. A rabbit is transformed into a bath water with thousand-year-old ginseng essence, like an idiot; I know! As a monster, don’t you need to learn anything? How did you get your security card?”
Gui Zi'er muttered, "You don't need to graduate from any school for a security certificate."
Shao Jing was really speechless to this kind of monster: "Forget it, I won't tell you more. The wheat from this store must be transferred out, otherwise his eyes won't come back."

Shao Jing said impatiently: "Put up a transfer notice and give it to whoever wants it. Hurry up now, let's settle your salary first, shall we?"
Gui Zi'er was dumbfounded: "Transfer, transfer... Will the person from that shop still open a pastry shop? If not, what should I do?"
Shao Jing pondered for a while: "Let Mai Mai make up half a year's wages for you, and then you can find a job. According to your skills, it is not difficult to find another job."
Guizier turned to Maizi: "Maizi, are you really not going to open a shop anymore?"

Mai Mai fumbled and stretched out her hand to pat him, but couldn't help but think in her heart: I am not a family, if I don't enter a family, the ancients will not deceive me.
"Then what do you want to do now? Find that Shen Mobai?"
"Yes." Shao Jing said in a low voice, "I said that I must guard him for the rest of my life."
"But he also said that he didn't want to see you again, right?"
Shao Jing was hit to the point and was furious: "I will find him!"
Maybe Xiaomai was brave enough to point out the main point: "The problem is, are you forcing him like this? What if he just doesn't want to see you? Then you are no different from what you did in your previous life."
Shao Jing stopped talking, and after a while he said slowly, "It's fine if he doesn't want to see me, as long as I know where he is, who he is, and he's living in peace, that's fine."
"...Do you love him?" Mai Mai said a little sadly, anyway, such a relationship between past and future lives is rare.
"...At that time, I didn't know what love was..."
Wheat was lost for a while, and then remembered the question he wanted to ask: "No, you still didn't answer me, why did you come to me to share the rent? Is that person in Binhai?"
"Correct."
"how do you know?"
"It's obtained by divination."
Mai Mai was very surprised: "Is there such a god? Even reincarnation can be counted? Then have you found him?"
"It's not as magical as you think. Divination can only give a guide, but it doesn't mean it can clearly tell you who he is after reincarnation."
"Then what guidance did you get?" Thinking of the interpretation of the "greedy" hexagram, Xiaomai felt that this matter was indeed a miracle, "Did that old man from the east tell you the hexagram? Why is he so powerful?"
"Dongfang Shuo, do you know? The Dongfang family is his descendant, and they are good at divination."
"Really..." Mai could only marvel.
"Actually, people from the Dongfang family really don't do much divination. This, to some extent, is called leaking secrets. It is an act against the heavens. It will hurt yourself, so real experts rarely do it for others. This kind of thing. The first time I asked the old man Dongfang to divination for me was when I was 23 years old. At the end of that year, Zhong Leyang, a son of the Zhong family in Nanshan, celebrated his birthday. The coming-of-age ceremony was very grand, and I also went to participate. The old man Dongfang is over 90 years old, and he doesn’t go out easily. When that time came, I took advantage of the situation and begged him. Actually, I was still young at that time, and I didn’t know about such things It's not easy to ask for help, especially if you go directly to the head of the Dongfang family. If you change someone else, you will probably be beaten by the Dongfang family-who do you think you are, with such a big face? But the old man Dongfang is for the sake of the Zhang family , promised to give me a divination. At that time, "Yi" was used to obtain the Gen divination, which was a bad omen."
Mai Mai couldn't understand: "What does the Gen hexagram mean? Why is the omen not good?"
"The "Book of Changes" is profound, and I only know superficially. Gen hexagrams and hexagrams: Gen's back, not his body, walking in his court, not seeing his people, no fault. To me, even though there is no fault, it is also a bad omen."
Mai Mai didn't understand it very well, so she understood the phrase "Walking in the courtyard, not seeing the person": "That is to say, even if you go to someone's yard, you can't meet people, right?"
Shao Jing shook his head: "No, Yi Xiang's words are metaphors and cannot be understood directly. The central meaning of the Gen hexagram is to be restrained, to be realistic, and not to delusional beyond one's own status. Tell me clearly that I can't find it."
"But don't you still know that he is in Binhai?"
"That was five years later. I have never given up on getting that hexagram, but it is rare for old man Dongfang to make a move. It is only counted as a hexagram, and no one can invite him anymore. Besides, the rules of "Yi" cannot be for one thing. Repeatedly asking for hexagrams. When I was 25 years old, I had something to go to the South China Sea, so I made a special trip to Putuo Mountain to ask for a lottery: Blue Bridge is naturally a fairy cave, so why go up to Yuqing in a rugged way.”
Mai Mai has heard this line before: "The Blue Bridge doesn't seem to be in Binhai."
Shao Jing raised his hand and gave him a shudder: "I told you that the hexagram cannot be interpreted literally! This sign should mean that the person I am looking for is not far away from me, and there is no need to go to heaven or earth to suffer." Searching."
Mai Mai doubted: "Then you should look for it among the people around you?"
Shao Jing gave him another look: "If there was one, I would have found it long ago."
Mai Mai touched the top of her head and retorted him: "That's not necessarily true! How do you know which one is Shen Mobai's reincarnation? Is there a sign?"
Shao Jing replied decisively: "Yes!"
"Is there really a sign?" Now it was Mai's turn to be surprised, "What sign?"
"Did you see the birthmark on my chest? This is the imprint left by me cutting out the Bodhi Bead with a sword in my previous life. At that time, I put the Bodhi Bead on Mo Bai's chest, so there must be a mark on his chest!"
Wheat thinks something wrong: "Isn't it right? If you really took out the Bodhi Pearl, then why do you still say that the Bodhi Pearl brought you the six-character mantra, the true power of Buddhism, and so on. Besides, the chest There are many people with birthmarks, are they all the reincarnation of Shen Mobai? I still have a birthmark on my chest?"
"You have it too?" Shao Jing doubted, and reached out to uncover his clothes, "Where is it?"
"Hey, what are you doing!" Mai Mai felt a chill on her chest, and quickly grabbed the collar, "It's just a piece of red, I'll just talk about it."
Shao Jing withdrew his hand and lay down again.Mai Mai tightly buttoned it up: "You haven't explained why you came to Binhai."
"After I got the lottery, I still felt that I couldn't explain it, so I wanted to ask the eminent monk who I had studied Buddhism before. As a result, I didn't even see him a few times. Either I got sick halfway, or I met him. The road collapsed and I couldn’t move forward, or he wandered away when he got to the temple... Until February this year, Zhou Qi wanted me to come to Binhai to deal with something. I was planning to go to Mount Wutai for the fourth time, but the car broke down on the road again At that time, I was answering the phone call from Zhou Qi, and suddenly thought, this is obviously not letting me go to Wutai Mountain! It is the so-called "why go to Yuqing in the rough", so the blue bridge has its own fairy cave, maybe it is letting me let it go Naturally, it may mean that I should come to Binhai."
Mai Mai muttered: "It's far-fetched..."
Shao Jing raised his hand to give him another shot, but he took it back: "Indeed, to outsiders, it's far-fetched, but things like hexagrams are sometimes just a sudden inspiration, like a person who drinks water and knows whether he's warm or not. Outsiders may not be able to understand it. Anyway, I thought about it at the time, so I turned around and went to the Dongfang family."
"What are you doing at Dongfang's house? Isn't it impossible to calculate twice for one thing?"
"The first time I was asking for Yi, this time, I was asking for a ghost. And the first time I was asking whether people could be found, this time I was directly asking how to find people."
Mai Mai rubbed her chin: "Sophistry."
Shao Jing smiled wryly: "Yes, it's actually a sophistry, but I just want to find someone, so I can't take care of it."
"Will Mr. Dongfang recalculate for you?"
"Of course not. I didn't dare to look for him at all. I went directly to his grandson, Dongfang Liang Fushi. As a result, I got eight words: There are noble people in life, and you are the champion."
Mai Mai was even more confused: "What does that have to do with your renting a house?"
Shao Jing was silent for a moment, and said: "I just wanted to rent a house to live for a while, and I happened to see your rental advertisement at that time. I think you are the noble person mentioned in the scriptures, who can help me find Mobai." .”
Mai Mai's jaw almost dropped: "Me? I am your nobleman? How expensive do you think I am?"
"Your surname is the number one."
