Chapter 388 Being a charlatan
The two countries went to war, and Daqing won a tragic victory. The other countries sent envoys to seek peace, and finally obtained a peace document for twenty years by marrying a princess of the Hungarian Kingdom.
Luo Shan stayed in Zhenci Pass for a few more years, and finally one morning, he packed his bags and left, holding a canvas flag.
Heading eastward, Luo Shan also saw the scenery of the Daqing Kingdom.
Different from the desolate Zhenci Pass, the capital of Daqing is extremely prosperous and bustling. Luo Shan has seen a lot of worldly bustle along the way.
Different from the bold and forthright women from outside the Great Wall, the ladies from well-off families in the capital also have their own unique charm.
While queuing outside the city gate, she even discovered that there were cultivators in the city, but their cultivation was not high, only at the Qi Refining stage.
After being interrogated by the guards, Luo Shan handed in his pass and entered the city.
People were coming and going on both sides of the street, shops were lined up, and Chang'an Road led directly to Huangtian Gate.
The entire Chang'an is divided into four main streets in the shape of a cross. Luo Shan entered through the South City Gate. The main street of the East City Gate is called Zhuque Street, which intersects with Chang'an Road.
There is a white tiger and deer at the west gate, and to the north is the imperial palace, which is the Xuanwu Gate.
Walking all the way from Chang'an Avenue, the entire capital city was covered by her spiritual sense.
Luo Shan spent a lot of money and bought a small courtyard in Qili Lane.
Qili Lane is an alley entrance to Baihu Main Street. The layout of the capital city is obvious. Common people live in Baihu Street, while ministers’ mansions live in Zhuque Street.
Under the monarchy system, people were divided into different levels.
This is also true in the small capital city.
Even ordinary people in the capital feel superior to ordinary people from outside.
Luo Shan did not plan to stay for long, but since he had come to the mortal world, he naturally wanted to take a look at the capital city.
The capital was very lively. Outside the Great Wall, people stayed at home near dusk. However, in the capital of Daqing, the main street of Chang'an was bustling even at midnight.
On the third day of Luoshan's reign, he set up a fortune-telling stall in the West City market where ordinary people lived.
Of course, compared to those old men who looked like immortals, Luo Shan was labeled a "swindler" almost on the day he set up the stall.
She was not in a hurry and directly moved out the recliner and took a nap on the street, swaying.
The half-immortal next door squinted his eyes. His business was not very good, but compared to Luo Umbrella, which had never been open for business, he still made some money.
"Miss, judging from the way you are dressed, you don't look like someone in our line of work." The old man was bored as he saw that the stall had no business, so he started chatting with Luo Shan.
"I am self-taught and have a natural talent for this." Luo Shan opened his eyes, looked at the old man's expression, which was hard to describe, and chuckled:
"You don't believe me, how about I tell you your fortune?"
"Come on, we're all in the same business, there's no need for that." The old man rolled his eyes.
He has been in this business for decades, how could he not understand the twists and turns involved?
"Old man, I see that your forehead is black, I am afraid there will be a bloody disaster." Luo Shan calculated in a serious manner and then said seriously.
"Hey, little girl, we are in the same industry, do you have to curse me?" The old man was unhappy and glared at Luo Shan.
Luo Shan lay back in the chair and saw the old man angrily returning to his stall. He immediately curled up the corners of his mouth in pleasure.
Time passed slowly, and the old man glared at me from time to time, obviously holding a grudge.
As evening approached and the glow in the sky gradually faded, six or seven people suddenly appeared on the street. Leading them was a young man in a blue and white gown embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold thread. He pointed at the old man's stall angrily.
At a command, four or five servants rushed forward and smashed the stall to pieces.
The old man covered his nose and cried out "ouch, ouch!"
"You filthy liar, if I see you cheating again, I won't let you go."
The handsome young man had a gloomy face, raised his hand, and was about to leave with his people.
Luo Shan said directly to the old man:
"Look, I told you that you would have a bloody disaster today. So, did I lie to you?"
There was a sense of pride in the words. The fortune teller's mouth twitched. He wanted to curse, but his body was in great pain.
The young man who was about to leave stopped and turned to look at Luo Shan's fortune-telling stall.
Luo San was dozing off on the recliner before, so the young man didn't notice her. But when he heard Luo San's words, he immediately looked over.
Just one glance and he frowned subconsciously.
He looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he's well dressed, so how could he become a swindler?
"Sir, do you want to have your fortune told?" Luo Shan raised his eyes and glanced at the other person, then looked towards his fortune-telling stall.
"Fortune-telling? I hate those who cheat and deceive the most. You saw what happened to that gentleman. If the fortune-telling is not accurate, I will not let it go."
The young master raised his voice.
Luo Shan didn't care and stood up and walked towards the young man.
"This young man is sixteen years old. He has two older sisters and his mother passed away many years ago..."
Luo Shan spoke slowly, but the young man's face changed:
"Are you investigating me?"
"No, I saw it from your face."
"Your mother had a difficult labor giving birth to you, and your father remarried. One of your two elder sisters has passed away, and the other..." Luo Shan paused.
"The other one lost both legs in an accident half a year ago. Am I right?"
"How... do you know that?" The young man took a step back, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course I saw it. Sir, how about having your fortune told by me?"
"Could you have solved my current predicament back then?" The young man still had some doubts.
"If you believe, you can do it. If you don't believe, then you have no chance." Luo San said.
"How much is it?" The young man hesitated for a moment, looking struggling, and finally asked.
Luo Shan raised his eyebrows: "I have no shortage of gold, silver and money, the divination fee I want is very simple."
"I want to meet your second sister."
she said.
After saying this, the young master looked even more hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth:
"My second sister has been depressed since she lost her legs. To be honest, sir, I heard that if we can find an immortal, he can heal her legs."
"Just take me there." Luo San said.
"My second sister now lives in a farm outside the city. I will talk to her tomorrow and ask if she is willing to see you." The young man did not guarantee it because he also felt that his second sister might not want to see anyone.
"Okay." Luo San nodded.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he turned around and went back to his stall and started to pack up.
The young man stared blankly for a long time, and finally thought about it, asked the servant to bring the horse over, and he wanted to go to the farm outside the city.
After packing up his stall, Luo Shan walked up to the old man who had been beaten black and blue.
"Cheating will damage your own luck. You have lived to this day, which is a blessing from your ancestors. You should take good care of yourself in the future."
After that, he left directly.
The fortune teller covered his bruised face with his hands, a hint of fear flashed across his eyes. He quickly packed up his stall and left.
