A stroll through Honolulu's Chinatown reveals people and cultures from many countries and regions, such as Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Thais, Vietnamese, and native Hawaiians. But in Chinatown, of course, it is the Chinese who sing the leading role. Visitors will soon discover that Chinatown is a microcosm of Honolulu and a must-visit destination in Hawaii.

Chinatown is home to a number of bustling open-air markets, including Oahu Market, Kekaulike Market, Maunakea Market, and more, each with many small stalls selling a variety of ingredients such as live fish, seafood, fresh-cut meat, barbecued pork, chicken and roast duck, as well as many tables filled with fruits and vegetables. It's almost like a crash course in ethnic cooking. With the best ingredients to cook, including the usual cutlets, ribs and grilled meats, as well as a variety of seafood, meat, pork head, tongue, tripe, kidneys and intestines, shopping here is as fun as an adventure.

Of course, our Chen Kai didn't come here to buy vegetables, after exchanging the items yesterday, he didn't sleep, with his current Taoist practice, a few days and nights without rest is also unaffected, in the early hours of the night, Dr. Wang De's hospital called him, saying that the hospital encountered some strange troubles in the hospital and needed him to go back to solve; Listening to that tone, it was still very eager.

Speaking of which, he is really incompetent as an honorary professor, and he has not had much time to go back to the hospital every month, this time he knows that the hospital is in trouble and he has to go to help, but he has the skill of the sword, and it won't take him a few hours to get to the hospital, but he doesn't want to be too shocking, and it's midnight, so he decided to leave today, and before leaving, he wants to take a good look at the rest of Hawaii.

Passing through the wet market, you will walk to the Chinese Culture Square, where there are a lot of goods, including clothes, jewelry, silk, teak furniture, ceramic tableware, carvings, vases, brassware, dry goods, canned food, spices, spices, etc., and there are art galleries and antique shops nearby; There are many people on the street, especially the stalls next to a Chinese medicine shop are the most crowded and crowded!

Squeezed into the crowd with curiosity, looked up, and found that it was an old man setting up a stall, who looked like a fairy wind and bones, floating out of the dust, holding a hexagram flag, on which were written "immortals guide the way, iron mouth straight break" eight big characters, and in Chinatown there are not only Chinese people, but also foreign tourists from other countries, and the mysterious metaphysics of China has always been able to attract a large number of visitors.

At this moment, there was someone beside the old man urging, "Hurry up, how about talking?" Can it be cracked? This is a foreigner with a non-standard Chinese accent, which immediately attracted Chen Kai's attention, and following the prestige, he found that the person was wearing this formal suit, with shiny hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which looked very gentle.

At this moment, the old man dragged his chin and rubbed his beard and said, "This tourist doesn't need to be anxious, I have already calculated your problem for you, as long as you do what I say, you won't feel cold in the middle of the night." The man said half-incredulously, "What you say ・・・・・ really work?" The old man's face sank when he heard this, and he stared at the foreigner and said, "You don't have to doubt it, go back and change the pattern according to what I said, and you will know it when you try it, and see if I am accurate." ”

The foreigner must also be a person who is interested in Chinese metaphysics, seeing that the old man looks like a legendary master, and has a majestic atmosphere, he thanked him and handed over some money and turned away, thinking that he must have gone back to decorate the house according to what the old man said. Seeing that the man turned to leave, the corner of the old man's mouth hung a smile, and then he glanced around and said, "How about it, you guys also count a hexagram?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Kai was stunned for a while, when he heard the previous words, he thought that this old man should be looking at family feng shui or something, but he didn't expect that he was a fortune teller! Is this a combination of the best of both worlds? At this time, Chen Kai's curiosity was also aroused by him, and he walked into these people to hear what kind of ability this fortune teller has.

After the experience of the foreigner, the crowd of onlookers seemed to believe in the old man more, and more and more people gathered around him by word of mouth, and then a well-dressed middle-aged man walked up, presumably a successful person, and asked the old man with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Are you accurate?" The old man nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you can rest assured, this is all the metaphysics left by our ancestors, the old man's fortune-telling is absolutely accurate, let's talk about what you want to count first." The middle-aged man nodded, but it seemed that he had encountered a deceitful person before, so he hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "Then it's better to bother the old gentleman to calculate how many brothers I have in my family first, how about it?" ”

The old man groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "You successful people love to come to this set, do you want to test me?" Come, then I'll show you your face first, and I'm testing your eight characters. Then the old man took a look at the man's face, and asked him to write out the eight characters, and then took out a small box next to it, which contained a few copper coins, and he asked the middle-aged man to shake it.

After taking some steps to complete, then the old man suddenly muttered a lot of difficult and twisted colloquialisms, although the onlookers could not understand but they were all relishing, and people often had a kind of curiosity about some mysterious things.

After a short time, the old man stopped, and said, "I will first answer the first question you asked me to test, that is, the question of how many brothers you have; Listen carefully. "Oh?" The middle-aged man immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what the old man could say. "There are many brothers in the meridian unit, three or two of Yin Shen Sihai, one of Chenxu Chouwei, two peaches and four scholars, unique!"

"There are many brothers in the meridian unit, three or two of Yin Shen Sihai, one of Chenxu Chou, two peaches and four scholars, unique?" When the middle-aged man heard this, he suddenly thought about it, understood the literal meaning, and suddenly showed a surprised look on his face, and said, "Hey, master, you are really a master, you are really a god!" I was truly an only child, and I had no brothers. Hearing this, the old man suddenly smiled proudly, danced the hexagram flag in his hand and said: "Okay, the old man only answers three questions a day, what do you want to ask next?" ”

Chen Kai was also thinking about the old man's words, I don't know why he always feels weird, there are many brothers in the meridian, Yin Shen Sihai three or two, Chen Xu Chou is not the only one, two peach and three scholars, unique. After reading it several times, he suddenly realized that he could actually understand a lot of meaning from it, and this sentence could answer four questions, the only child, two brothers, three brothers, and even four brothers.

This mantra is very flexible and can blind a considerable number of customers. What if the customer reports that he is ugly, he can say that he is an only child, and he is just three brothers? It is very easy to do, you can say that he reported the wrong time of birth, and set a new time for him, such as the time set after the ugly time, that is, it can also be explained: "No wonder I said it is wrong, it turns out that you reported the wrong time of birth, just one hour short." If you count the number of brothers and sisters, of course, the number of your brothers and sisters is two or three."

As for the latter sentence "two peaches and three scholars, unique" is easier to crack, if it is a customer, they will generally change their identities towards this, which can be said to be two brothers or three or four. Thinking of this, Chen Kai couldn't help laughing, he finally understood the power of this Jianghu warlock, he almost thought that this was a master of the Mai sect before.
