Chapter 388 True God
"That jade pendant might have been stolen."
Dameng Shenjun thought in his heart that if Chu Liang was fooled, it would be troublesome.
He didn't think that Chu Liang really had any magical power. After all, Chu Liang was too young and didn't look like an accomplished person.
In the alley, other people were also talking in low voices.
If this hexagram is accurate, Chu Liang's reputation will be reversed.
"Even an expert like Taoist Priest Yunhe can't figure out where the jade pendant is. If he can figure it out, doesn't it mean that he is even more powerful than Taoist Priest Yunhe?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Taoist Yunhe hear you."
"Let's see, it's hard to say whether it's accurate or not!"
The sound of conversation gradually died down.
Some people are afraid of being overheard by the Great Dream God and causing dissatisfaction with the Taoist master.
There are also people who have identified Chu Liang as a liar and have no doubts about the fortune-telling skills of the Great Dream Lord.
They are all waiting for a result.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the distance, and the young man in brocade clothes returned.
His face was full of joy and his face was a little red. He held a jade pendant tightly in his hand and shouted loudly: "Master, Master Chu! You are really amazing. The jade pendant is really under the pillow!"
Hearing this, everyone nearby couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Is it really accurate?
I saw the young man in brocade clothes hurried back to Chu Liang's stall and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His expression was excited, but also a little respectful. He was no longer as casual as before.
"Master, I asked for your forgiveness for my rude remarks before." He bowed deeply, his attitude completely different from before.
"It doesn't matter, just find the thing." Chu Liang said with a smile.
"Master, this jade pendant is particularly important. It was passed down from my ancestors. If I can't find it back, I will probably lose my status as a direct descendant. Fortunately, you are here!"
He kept thanking you and said in a sincere tone: "If you have time today, I would like to invite you to my house to drink some tea."
"No need."
Chu Liang smiled and shook his head, declining his invitation.
The young man in gilded clothes added: "Master is indifferent to fame and wealth, and he is indeed a master of the world! But if I don't repay you, I will always feel sorry in my heart..."
As he spoke, he paused, seemingly thinking of something.
After a moment, he said again: "Master, everyone in the city thinks you are a charlatan. Today I will clear your name and let everyone know how powerful you are!"
"There is no need for this, reputation is all external things." Chu Liang said with a smile.
"But I can't just watch those people slander the master!"
After saying that, the young man in brocade bowed again and ran away in a hurry.
After returning, he immediately summoned many servants in the mansion and asked them to go out and promote Chu Liang's abilities.
In just half a day, the news spread to the streets.
For a time, the whole city became lively.
"Have you heard about it?"
"The master named Chu in the south of the city also has real abilities!"
"The eldest young man of the Luo family lost his family heirloom jade pendant and was almost beaten to death by his father. He searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Even Master Yunhe couldn't figure out where the jade pendant was, but Master Chu figured it out!"
"Is this really happening?"
"This is really amazing!"
"..."
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
Some people expressed doubts, but many people were in that alley at the time and witnessed all this with their own eyes and came out to prove it.
Some people think that this is a scheme that the eldest young master of the Luo family and Chu Liang worked together to suppress Taoist Yunhe and elevate Chu Liang's status.
"I don't believe it. How can that kid be a real master at such a young age?"
"That's right, Taoist Priest Yunhe said that he has never seen that kid before!"
By that evening, the number of discussions not only did not decrease, but increased.
Discussions, questions and arguments can be heard everywhere in restaurants, tea shops, gambling houses, etc.
The second day.
Dawn.
Chu Liang looked leisurely and went to set up a stall in the alley in the south of the city as usual.
Dameng Shenjun also came, his face was a little gloomy, he glanced at Chu Liang, and set up the stall opposite Chu Liang.
"In just one day, this guy's reputation is about to surpass mine!" He felt quite uncomfortable. "Didn't he just get it right once? I don't believe it, he gets it right every time!"
Before long, the alley became lively.
After what happened yesterday, many people came to the alley with different mentality, either to watch the show or to seek confirmation.
The booths of Chu Liang and Dameng Shenjun were still empty.
More and more people gathered in the alley.
Everyone was whispering to each other and discussing in low voices.
"Who wants to go up and try?"
"How to try?"
They looked at each other, and for a while no one dared to tell the fortune.
After a while, someone finally walked out of the crowd and came to Chu Liang's stall.
This man has dark skin, is short, wears coarse linen clothes, and has calluses on his hands. He looks like a laborer doing manual labor.
He rubbed his hands, seemed a little nervous, and asked: "Master, when my father died, he said that he had saved a sum of money for me to marry a wife, but he died before he said where the money was. How can you Can you help me figure out where he hid the money? "
Hearing this, Chu Liang smiled.
He made a calculation and then replied: "Nine steps to the southeast, the locust trees are full of flowers. If you dig three feet of soil, you will have money."
The swarthy man scratched his head: "Master, I don't understand. Can you speak more simply?"
Chu Liang smiled again: "Go home, walk nine steps to the southeast, there is a locust tree, dig three feet down, the money your father left for you to marry a wife is there."
The dark man hesitated: "Is this...really?"
Chu Liang smiled and urged: "Go quickly, if someone else digs it away, you will lose the money to marry a wife!"
"Ah?"
The dark man screamed and hurriedly got up and left. Because he left in a hurry, he even forgot to pay the fortune-telling fee.
Many onlookers around also left with him.
Everyone wanted to know if the fortune-telling could be correct this time?
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people left.
They followed the dark man and soon arrived at his home.
"Hey, there is really a locust tree."
"Brother, dig quickly."
"Quick! If you can dig it, I will reward you two taels of silver!"
Used by everyone, the dark man grabbed a shovel and started digging under the locust tree.
Perhaps because he felt it was too slow, many people around him rolled up their sleeves and helped him dig the soil.
Not long after, there was a "clang" sound, and the shovel hit a hard object.
"We dug it, we dug it!"
Everyone around shouted happily.
It was a tin box!
They worked together to lift the tin box out and opened it. What appeared in front of everyone was a pile of scattered copper coins, mixed with some silver.
Although it was not much, it was no problem to marry a wife!
Soon, the news spread to the alley.
"Really, it's true!"
"Master Chu is really amazing, it's really under three feet, not a cent more, not a cent less!"
