Chapter Thirty-Three: All Schemes and Spirits Are Laid Bare
t's the day of the Tiger."Uncle Deng leaned against the door at some point, his hands tucked in his sleeves, listening to the sounds from inside the room. He let out a long sigh, his voice filled with...Don't point fingers at things, don't disbelieve fate, and don't talk about all that nonsense. Bah! You're just being cheap!

On the long street, the old man stepped back a few steps, as if he had just recognized this world-renowned young genius once again. He sighed with emotion: "To be able to cut me, a ghost and god who has calculated half of the immortal's price, you are indeed capable!"
Half-immortal
Jiang Wang smiled but said nothing.
This mysterious old man finally began to "work". He looked Jiang Wang up and down, over and over again.
"Hurry up, I really have something to do." Jiang Wang reminded.
The old man didn't take offense, but sighed with emotion, "Looking at your face, you are currently successful in life and have an extraordinary status!"
Jiang Wangdao: "You needn't look at my face to know, just look at my horse!"
The old man said again, "I see that your inner light is restrained, and your spirit is naturally brilliant. If you can keep striving forward, your future will be limitless!"

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "You should have learned about me before you came. Anyone who knows my name wouldn't say I'm hopeless."
But...
But
"A dark cloud hangs over your heavens, karma swirling in your spirit. Your brilliance is dimmed, and your divine radiance conceals danger." The old man pondered deeply: "I see you lost your mother when you were young, your father in your youth, and before reaching adulthood... most of your teachers, friends, and neighbors died!"

This is truly astounding!
And indeed, it was his previous experience.
If an ordinary person, they would probably have surrendered by now.
Jiang Wang's face remained unchanged: "Have there been any further blood disasters recently"
"Huh" The old man looked surprised. "You can calculate too"
"How did that old man save me" Jiang Wang asked, "But what should I buy to dispel misfortune and avert disaster"
"Well," the old man said, "this is what you need. I have a talisman here, forged from the essence of sun and moon, woven with nine strands of ghostly silk. I carried it on my person for ninety-nine years, reciting scriptures, writing protective mantras, burning incense daily in prayer. It's imbued with countless merits. It can dispel calamity and keep you safe!"
Jiang Wang wore a troubled expression: "Such a valuable thing, but I only have a thousand Yuan stones on me. I wonder if it's enough..."
“Enough Of course not enough!” the old man sighed: “But who made me soft-hearted, unable to bear seeing people suffer Especially you, so young, with a bright future ahead. Fine! As long as a thousand spirit stones, this amulet is yours!”
Saying that, he took out a talisman from his bosom and offered it to Jiang Wang bashfully.
It looks much like an ordinary amulet sold to common folk, priced at around two or three dollars. The stitching is incredibly shoddy, and even a few threads have come loose!
When Jiang Wang was practicing martial arts outside the Daoist temple's inner courtyard in his younger years, he also mended his own clothes. Although his craftsmanship was not as good as Ling He's, he could confidently say that it was better than the workmanship of this amulet!
"That won't do, that won't do," Jiang Wang shook his head. "A man of seven feet tall like me shouldn't take such an advantage! It should be worth what it's worth. Old sir, just wait a few years for me, let me save up enough yuan stones and I'll come back here to buy it!"
The old man sighed, "I can wait, but you can't. There has been a disaster recently, how can I not worry Let alone mentioning that much, just consider this old man taking a bit of a loss, this amulet is yours for a thousand yuan stones."
While sighing, she tiptoed and shoved the amulet into Jiang Wang's arms.
At this point, the conversation abruptly ends, leaving me lost and adrift.
The woman burst into tears immediately.
And the old man, leading Flamelit Horse, turned aside.
When I looked again, I was already on the long streets of Linzi.

Jiang Wang fell into a deep shock.
>
Is it a phantom Or is it real
If this is an illusion, why am I unaware of it Why are my sights and feelings so real
If this were true, to see into the future of others would be such a great power!
It's inconceivable!
“How is it” On the bustling streets of Linzi, restored to their former clamor, the old man turned back to look at Jiang Wang: “Now do you believe me I am a half-immortal who can calculate everything between heaven and earth. Am I not worthy of my reputation”
After this incident, people remain the same, their demeanor unchanged. Yet, suddenly they feel awestruck and confused.
Jiang Wangdao: "The old man's strength is beyond my comprehension. Such divine abilities are truly..."
“Alright, that fawning attitude is quite tiresome. You can stop with the flattery.” The old man looked at him sternly, “Will you buy the amulet or not”

Jiang Wang looked at the old man seriously and said, "I'll offer you a maximum of one knife coin."teps paused only for a moment before continuing forward.It was night.A demon was seen intruding into the Wangjiang City Daoist Academy at night, demanding the ancient Daoist technique, Decrepit Wood D...
