Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Fortune Teller Meets the Healer

Wang Zhi saw the old man's surprised expression, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, he was not like ordinary people, either he was very superstitious about fortune-telling and appearance, or he was very repulsive.

He had seen a lot of strange people in that era, and he knew more about fortune-telling, physiognomy, feng shui and other metaphysics than others, so at this time he guessed that this old man might really have some real skills.

In fact, in ancient China, many doctrines were the same, and there were many similarities and references.

For the Chinese tradition, for the history of China, if the Chinese culture is really worth learning, then it is undoubtedly Chinese medicine, and the others are not "learned".

You say that China has arithmetic, but there is no mathematics, the Chinese have no mathematics, but there is arithmetic, can calculate, can add, subtract, multiply and divide, the Chinese will use, but do not summarize it into a theory, the Chinese have architecture, there is no architecture, Zhang Heng invented the geokinetic instrument, but there is no theory about geocentric motion and plate motion, and there is no detailed explanation of earthquakes.

That is to say, the Chinese have a lot of skills and a lot of technology. But this technique has not risen to the level of "learning" at the theoretical level. What does it mean to "learn"? "Learning" must have a theory, a systematic differentiation and a direction worthy of study, otherwise it will not be called "learning". So in this sense, if there is science in China, then the only science is Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine almost covers dozens of ancient theories in China, and he is unified into one, for example, the five luck and six qi of traditional Chinese medicine, which can also be used in fortune telling, and some powerful characters can use it to avoid disasters and deduce a person's numerology.

In fact, there are many fortune tellers who know a little bit about the way of Chinese medicine, except for a few, most people at least understand some hope in Chinese medicine.

That is to say, from a person's complexion and face, they can roughly see some things about this person, such as career, such as mood, and then use these as the starting point to fool around, in fact, it is not so mysterious.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Zhi's opinion of this old man has changed a little, and he smiled and said, "What? I don't know what the old gentleman saw, and I hope to tell you. ”

The old man stood in front of Wang Zhi, looked Wang Zhi's whole body up and down, left and right, frowned, and said, "Little brother has had an adventure?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi was really a little shocked, but on the surface, he pretended to be puzzled.

"Why does the old gentleman say that, I, a native of Jianghuai, went out of Jiangnan for the first time not long ago to Kyoto, but I haven't even been out of Jianghuai before."

"No, I can't."

The old man couldn't care about his detached image at this time, pinched his fingers and said: "I obviously see from your palmistry that you have spent at least dozens of places in the country, and the time is not less than three years. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Wang Zhi finally understood the old man's surprise.

It is also the case that some practitioners and experienced practitioners and Chinese medicine doctors can calculate the person's previous living environment from a person's palmistry, face or pulse, whether it is wet, dry, or cold, and then refer to the situation in various places to roughly determine the location of the person's hometown.

Wang Zhi, a peculiar traverser, is also an alternative, from the bones and physiognomy of the absolute only twenty-three or four years old, but the environment he has lived in is countless, he has even drifted across the sea, living on the busy sea for two or three years, with his experience, in the eyes of insiders, it is naturally very strange.

"Hey! Old decay is ugly. ”

At this time, how could the old man not know that he had met an expert, if he was an ordinary person, how could he be so calm at this time.

In fortune telling, there is often a saying of Taoism, and generally people who are shallow in Taoism tell fortunes to those who are deep in Taoism, and there are often situations where they cannot be thought out and calculated.

At this time, there is no need to question Wang Zhi's age, according to common sense, such a young man will naturally not have such a bizarre situation, plus Wang Zhi is calm and calm, although he deliberately pretended to be a junior brother just now, he can hide it from the old man for a while, how can he hide it for a long time, so at this time, the old man naturally thought that he had met an opponent, so he sighed.

"Hehe, the old man is modest, your level is not bad, it is much stronger than ordinary charlatans." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

At this time, he was really admired, and he was able to calculate his peculiar situation, this old man was by no means simple.

"That's not it, you really think that my old man is looking for you to cheat you out of two dollars, I have been watching you on the side for a long time, and I think you are a little special, so I came to try it, I never thought that I would look away and meet my opponent, this is really a lifetime of fighting geese and being pecked by geese."

The old man sighed.

"Hehe, in fact, I am not your opponent, you are a fortune teller, I am a healer, although the road is the same, but the road is different."

Wang Zhi said with a smile, he was a little fond of this old man at this time, in today's era, fortune telling looks like an old man, and he can be regarded as a strange person.

"You're a doctor, studying Chinese medicine?"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard Wang Zhi say this.

"I studied Chinese medicine, so I also have some research on the five luck and six qi, and numerology calculation." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"Look at the age of the little brother is only twenty-three or fourteen years old, even if he has not studied Chinese medicine for a long time, this insight is extraordinary, presumably the little brother was teasing the old man from the beginning."

The old man pursed his mouth, looking a little aggrieved.

"There, I also feel that I have a fate with the elderly, so I just discussed it, and I apologize for the recklessness." Wang Zhi said sincerely.

"Forget it, my old man is not so cautious and cares about you as a junior."

The old man waved his hand and said: "Now that I am studying Chinese medicine in Jianghuai City, the most famous is the old guy surnamed Jiang, and the rest are all incompetent, but I heard that there is a young and powerful doctor in the central hospital during this period of time."

When the old man said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly stared at Wang Zhidao: "That doctor can't be you, right?" ”

"Hehe, maybe it's me."

Wang Zhi smiled faintly.

"I*!"

When the old man heard Wang Zhi's answer, he couldn't help but burst out of the popular foul language, and said with an incredible face: "I originally thought that this doctor was just a waste of fame, but I never thought that I would encounter it in person. ”

"Haha, the old man laughed, I'm just in vain, I can't take it seriously." Wang Zhi said with a smile, he found it very interesting to talk to this old man, and his mood was much better unconsciously, and his troubles were temporarily swept away.

"Cut! Don't think my old guy is so foolish, you kid is not simple. The old man sighed.

"Haha, or I'll give you a hexagram for the old man, and I will repay your affection." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"Okay, then look at your ability, you are an expert in curing diseases, I don't believe in fortune telling or connoisseurship." The old man said unconvinced, he always thought that the hexagram he had just given Wang Zhi was not accurate, so he held his breath.

The old man is not an unknown person, and he is also a little famous in this Jianghuai circle.

His family lives in the north district of Jianghuai City, named Gu Zhenhe, this year sixty has six, this hexagram ability is a family heirloom, when his grandfather was called the old fairy in the vicinity, the hexagram has never missed, now this ability to pass to his hands although there is a gap with his grandfather, but it is also ten hexagrams and nine spirits, known as the ancient gold tooth, speaking of the ability to tell the hexagram, in the whole Jiangnan that is no one else, is a lot of rich businessmen and tycoons on the seat.

Now that a character like him has lost face in front of Wang Zhi, he naturally can't hold it on his face, and then he heard that Wang Zhi was going to give him a divination, and he was even more unconvinced.

In fact, Wang Zhi's proposal to give Gu Zhenhe a hexagram is not a whim, but a sincere desire to intersect with Gu Zhenhe, he knows that a character like Gu Zhenhe, only if you shock him in his pride, he will really look at you differently, otherwise there will always be a trace of pride in his heart.

From Gu Zhenhe's ability, Wang Zhi can see that he is extraordinary, such a person has a wide range of faces, and he can't say that he will rely on this old man for some things in the future, so this can be regarded as paving the way in advance, since he embarked on the road of promoting traditional Chinese medicine, he is also planning everywhere, and he is calculating step by step.

When it comes to divination, Wang Zhi understands a little, but if he wants to say that he is proficient, he can't talk about it, but as a miracle doctor, his mastery of the five luck and six qi is more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary people.

Wang Zhi casually pulled Gu Zhenhe's wrist and inadvertently cut it on his pulse for a few seconds, then touched his bones again, looked at his face and said with a smile: "Gu Gu will be sixty-six years old in a month, this is gratifying." ”

"It's just pediatrics, don't fool me with these kids."

Gu Zhenhe didn't care when he heard Wang Zhi accurately say his birthday, he waved his hand and said, he and Wang Zhi have been chatting for so long, although he has never seen Wang Zhi's ability, but with his eyesight, he can naturally see that this kid's level is not shallow, if he can't even see this initial shallow thing, it will be a little unrealistic.

"Hehe, don't worry, and listen to me slowly."

Wang Zhi laughed again, and then said: "The ancient one had a son and two daughters, and he only hugged his grandson the year before last, this grandson is amazing, but now he is suffering from a catastrophe, I don't know if the ancient times have thought of a way to crack it?" ”

"This?"

When Gu Zhenhe heard this, the shock in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and he looked at Wang Zhi with a shocked look, obviously this was all said by Wang Zhi.

In fact, Gu Zhenhe came to West Lake today not out of boredom, but for his little grandson.

As Wang Zhi said, he has a son and two daughters, the son is the longest, married for five years, the year before last he added a little grandson, this little grandson was born with smart eyes, five months can speak, less than a year old can actually play on the ground, can be regarded as a little prodigy, this fame in the west of the city is a household name.

However, people often say that God is jealous of talents, this little grandson has been sick again and again since he was born two years old some time ago, and it has been nearly three months, and he has seen many doctors but his condition is getting worse and worse, in desperation, Gu Zhenhe divined a hexagram by himself, which shows that the fate is on the shore of Xizi Lake.

Therefore, for three days in a row, Gu Zhenhe came to West Lake to try his luck, and now it seems that the opportunity of this little grandson can be regarded as settled.
