Chapter 44: The Skull Mask
I was about to tell him not to meddle in his affairs, but the young man preemptively said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, it's more fun to have one more person to know and share it together." ”
I couldn't hold it anymore, and said indignantly: "Don't mother-in-law, you say, what did your master tell you, just tell the truth." ”
The little boy pulled his throat, pretending to be an old man, and sat up straight. Said solemnly: "My master said that you have a black qi on your forehead, and the yin qi on your body is shrouded, and the yang qi is weak. Apparently he had a relationship with the lonely ghosts and ghosts on the mountain, and he told you not to wander around tonight, otherwise there would be a catastrophe. Ha ha...... Isn't that funny, you say? How can there be ghosts in the world? Haha......"
If he had said this when I had never known that there were ghosts in the world and had never seen Mitsuko Yamada, I would definitely curse his master severely. scolded him, but he was pretending to be a ghost and swaggering. Now, however, I could no longer do so, for it suddenly occurred to me that this fortune teller seemed to be very capable, and that he was clearly trying to send his own apprentice to deliberately lure me to him.
In order to find out what he really meant by this, I have decided to pay a good visit to this god. I hurriedly asked him where his master was.
The little boy stood up, looked vibrant, turned around and smiled: "You come with me, I promise to let you see his old man." It seems that his old man has successfully fooled customers again this time, and this time he is going to have a big business again. ”
I frowned and followed closely behind him. He walked all the way, turned left and right, scurried around the hotel, and walked for a long time until he finally walked to the edge of a verandah on the top floor of the hotel.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a room near the toilet, and whispered in my ear, "Sir, this is it, my master and his old man's house are right there." He said he only wanted to meet you alone, and no one else wanted to see you. ”
I looked at Qi Baima, gave him a few commands, and then motioned for him not to go in with me. After listening to my instructions, Qi Baima nodded again and again.
I took a deep breath and walked towards the door. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I suddenly found that the door was not locked, but only hidden.
There was a loud snoring sound in the room, and the sound was so unpleasant that it looked like a pig had been killed. To be honest, I've never heard such a nasty snoring.
I know that the person who is snoring inside is the mysterious fortune teller Feng Shui. But he is asleep now, and if a person is asleep, wouldn't it be rude for me to go in and disturb them by recklessly? If someone is dreaming now, won't he blame me even more when he wakes up?
Just when I hesitated, not knowing what to do, suddenly there was a strange and familiar voice in the room, which I only felt as if I had heard it somewhere, but for a moment I could not remember where I had heard it. Before I could think about it, the voice shouted again, "Is it Long Shaoyou?" Come on in! ”
I was suddenly shocked, and I wondered in my heart: "Is this person really a god, even who I am?" "My curiosity was so great that I had to walk quickly inside, and I couldn't care much more.
Gently push the door and take a look, only to see on the sofa, spread hands and feet, sitting a person, looking up, that person is sitting still, wearing a hideous skull mask on his face, he is full of white hair, he can't stand up when he sees me, if it weren't for his body moving a few times, I almost suspect that he is a dead man.
I frowned and walked quickly towards him. Beside his sofa was a white cloth with the words "The first god in the world counts six big characters." I was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "You are the fortune teller who is known as the world's first divine calculation?" ”
He coughed dryly and said, "Don't you know me?" Do you really not know me? ”
I laughed dumbly and said, "Your voice seems familiar to me, but I really ...... your appearance It's really invisible...... If you'd take the skull mask off your face, maybe I'll remember seeing you somewhere. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, he waved his hand again and again, and said, "I can't take it, I can't take it, this mask is a treasure." It can help me get out of the sea of suffering. It is a rare treasure for thousands of years. ”
I spread my hands, shrugged my shoulders, and smiled, "Okay, whatever you want, but please sue me, why do you know my name?" Do you really know me? ”
At this moment, he suddenly stood up, moved quickly to the door, and quickly closed the open door.
He quietly walked up to me and whispered in my ear, "You kid forgot about me so quickly?" I'm Zhou Zhou Xian, don't you remember the last time we said something at the foot of the grave mountain? ”
As soon as I heard him say that he was a Zhou Immortal, I couldn't hold back any longer, and reached out and pulled off the skull mask on his face.
After this pull, I found out that he was indeed Zhou Zhou Xian, no wonder I felt that his voice was familiar, and no wonder he knew my name.
I dropped his mask and asked suspiciously, "What the hell are you doing, what are you doing with a skull mask, why are you still pretending to be a fortune teller?" ”
Zhou Zhou Xian's face was full of displeasure, he picked up the mask from the ground, wiped it with the clothes on his body for a long time, and said indignantly: "I have already said that this mask is a treasure. It was the treasure I found when I was looking for the Yin and Yang Mirror on the Tianshan Mountains. ”
As soon as I heard him say the Yin-Yang Duojing, I immediately asked: "Uncle Zhou, no kidding, have you really found the Yin-Yang Duojing, a magic weapon to deal with powerful ghosts?" ”
Zhou Zhou Xian snorted, but he didn't answer for a long time, obviously blaming me for throwing his mask to the ground.
At this time, in order to find out the truth of the matter, I had to bow my head and admit my mistake and make amends to him. I bowed to him, then bent down to apologize.
After most of the day, Zhou Zhou Xian's attitude finally changed, and he snorted at me: "After separating from you that day, I came to Tianshan Mountain to carry out a comprehensive search for the Yin and Yang Duo Mirror. In order to find the treasure as much as possible, I spent all my savings to buy several automatic search machines, and even used the most advanced scientific instruments to detect, but unfortunately, I have been looking hard for eight days, but I have not found any trace, just when I was already retreating in my heart, ready to give up, finally on the ninth day, there was a detection signal on an ice stone on the cliff of the Tianshan Mountains. The machine qì shows a strong metal object moving. ”
The more Zhou Xian spoke, the more excited he became, he breathed quickly and said: "At first, as soon as I found something moving, I thought it was the energetic Yin and Yang Mirror, and I rushed forward with joy, but when I reached out to get the treasure, I found that it was not a treasure mirror at all, but a mask." ”
I asked, "Shouldn't the mask be plastic?" How can a detection instrument emit a metal signal? ”
Zhou Xian replied: "I was also very curious at the time, and when I found out that it was a mask, I really wanted to throw it off the cliff, but fortunately I didn't do that, haha...... Later, I found out that this baby is much stronger than the Yin and Yang Duo Mirror, haha......"
I frowned and wondered, "What's so magical about this noodle?" ”
Zhou Zhou Xian was afraid that I would snatch his mask, so he held his mask with both hands, and then snorted: "Didn't you find the words written on the white cloth of the flagpole next to my sofa?" ”
I laughed and said, "See, it is written on it that the first god in the world counts six big characters, aren't you a feng shui master?" When did you pretend to be a fortune teller.? ”
Zhou Xian's face was full of displeasure, and he immediately retorted: "What is it called pretending to be a fortune teller, I was originally a fortune teller." ”
Angry and amused, I shook my head and said, "Okay, okay! Even if you're a fortune teller, why did you tell me not to wander around tonight? ”
Zhou Zhou Xian "hehe" smiled: "This is not joking with you, you think I am really pretending to be a fortune teller to deceive people, don't you?" ”
I didn't feel good and said, "Isn't it?" ”
Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head and sighed: "If it was before, before I got this mask, no one would believe me when I said that I was a fortune teller, saying that I was pretending to be a ghost and deceiving." But now, hehe...... You go out and inquire, who has asked me to tell my fortune, who doesn't call me a fortune teller? ”
I frowned, naturally knowing that what he said was completely true, and I already knew from the innkeeper that he was indeed a divine arithmetic.
But I'm curious, where did he learn the arithmetic power of the prophet?
Zhou Zhou Xian seemed to see the clue from my puzzled expression, he pointed to his skull mask with his right hand, and said triumphantly to me: "This qiē depends on this magical treasure, since wearing this mask, I have the function of divine calculation, at first I didn't think it was the reason for this mask, until I didn't wear a mask, and when I went to tell fortunes, I couldn't calculate anything, and then I found out that only by wearing this mask can I see the first half and second half of other people's lives." This treasure is really more valuable and powerful than the Taoist secrets that my master left for my brother, and I will definitely be famous all over the world when I go back to the big city to tell fortunes, it seems that this time I am really going to make a fortune this time, hahaha"
