The Xiangshi said cautiously: "You write a word, I will calculate your luck recently, if I am not good, I don't want money, if I am good, you give me twenty wen, how about it?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Okay." He picked up the pen, thought for a long time and didn't know what to write, because of the middle of the night, suddenly heard a passer-by say: "At noon, let people work, really do every good thing of the owner." He couldn't help but smile, so he wrote the word "noon" and asked lightly: "How about you use this word 'noon' to calculate my recent fortune?" ”

The Xiangshi looked at the word "noon" carefully, thought of something, raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaowu's face again, it seemed to be incredulous, and muttered in his mouth: "That's not what the master said, this kind of physiognomy, plus the word noon, is indeed a great omen!" Phew, my crow's mouth, in order to make some business and scare people, I didn't expect to meet someone who was a big omen. No, I have to find a way to slip away, I can't stay here for long, I can't stay for long! He hurriedly cleaned up the stall and said, "This, I suddenly thought that I have been busy with family affairs recently, and I must——"

"Dangchang!"

Zhang Xiaowu pulled out the short knife from his arms, threw it directly in front of Xiangshi, and said, "It's okay to go, but you can go after blinding your eyes, otherwise don't go." ”

Wang Yijin walked behind Xiangshi, pressed his shoulder, and said coldly: "My master can you tease at will?" ”

Xiangshi smiled bitterly, sighed, looked at the noon word, and said slowly: "This lord, let's just talk about the origin of this noon word, where does the noon word come from, this word comes from the meaning of disobedience." The so-called disobedient people, father and son, son against father, minister against king, guest official or with the grandfather at home, or with the boss and the chief official. I ask you, sir, have you ever had an argument with your father or elders when you come in, and you have not been discouraged so far? ”

"Hahaha, you're wrong." Wang Yijin said, "The master of my family is the head of the family, and the eldest master passed away ten years ago. ”

Xiangshi raised his eyebrows and said: "In this case, your Excellency is arguing with your boss, perhaps you don't know it yourself, or you have inadvertently offended him, making him jealous of you." ”

"Nonsense, my master's boss ......" Wang Yijin was about to refute, but saw Zhang Xiaowu shaking his head, so he stopped talking, and saw Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. is talented, I can see that I have a gap with my boss, it is true, now that my boss is sick at home, I am in charge of all official affairs, maybe I am a little overstepping my authority." ”

Xiangshi said with a smile: "The little man is not good at learning and talking nonsense, don't blame the official." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You continue. ”

Xiangshi said again: "The official man's font is vigorous and powerful, thick and heavy, but the scribble is sharp, like a long knife, the official should be a soldier, but now his face is peaceful, obviously he is not a soldier now, but the majesty is still there, and he should be in a high position." ”

Wang Yijin smiled: "The sycophants are good." ”

Xiangshi laughed.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Go on." ”

"Still?"

"Yes, I have to say."

Xiangshi made a bitter face, took a long breath and said: "Official, your word 'noon' is vertical in the middle but is not connected to the top, it looks like a word with a head cut off. The noon word plus a skimming is the arrow, the arrow is a hidden weapon, and the hidden weapon hurts people in the dark, indicating that someone has aimed at you with an arrow in the dark, but you don't know it. Aiming with a hidden weapon, but not triggering, this person not only has great forbearance, but also great ability. I calculated that there is a gap between you and your boss, and if the sergeant is right, it is your boss who is secretly preparing to give you a fatal blow and is also preparing to ask for your head. ”

Wang Yijin shook his head and pouted.

Xiangshi said again: "Add a little bit of the noon word to the cow." This cow is a big yang, which shows that although the guest officer has some small troubles, he has really been irresistible recently. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You mean, I won't be in danger of my life?" ”

Xiangshi said: "The hexagram is accompanied by life and death, whether it is life or death, it is all in the guest officer." Removing a handful of the word noon is dry, and this skimming is a knife, which means that if you throw a knife, you will pick it up. What does the word stem mean? It means that you throw a short knife on the surface, but you pick up a spear behind your back, and you are ready to attack behind the kindness on the surface, even if someone is ready to go against you, you have already prepared the strength, and the power to fight back is far stronger than others see. ”

Zhang Xiaowu paused for a while before saying, "You have calculated well, reward, ten taels of silver." ”

"Yes, sir." Wang Yijin thought to herself that you believed in this liar too much, but still paid ten taels of silver.

Xiangshi was overjoyed when he received the silver, and hurriedly prepared to accept the stall, but saw that Zhang Xiaowu brought another twenty taels of silver and put it on the table, and the twenty taels of silver shone brightly in the sunlight, so bright that people's eyes could not see anything, Xiangshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhang Xiaowu covered the silver with a piece of cloth to prevent anyone around him from coveting it, so he said slowly: "Your hexagram is half counted, and it is not finished yet." ”

The Xiangshi said, "It's all over." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "No, you only told me about the danger, but you didn't tell me how to resolve it, you only said that I am in the sky, and a little injury is not to be feared, but I will not sit idly by and ignore the danger." So, sir, please keep counting, if I take the initiative, how can I resolve the crisis? ”

The Xiangshi hesitated for a long time before saying, "My master said that the hexagram cannot be calculated, and if it is counted, it will reveal the heavenly secrets, and you will be punished in the future." Therefore, these scholars are at most only counting the bad luck by measuring words, and will not help others calculate the way forward. No matter how powerful a scholar is, he will not measure the future and change the future, because it is destined by God. God doesn't mean your life is in danger, and you don't need to worry. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "How do you have to count?" ”

Xiangshi said: "Add money." ”

"How much?"

"Within three years, I will be hidden in the mountains, so I need three years of money for food and drink—two hundred taels."

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, Wang Yijin took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table, the Xiangshi stared at the money and said, "You really take it?" ”

"Really take it."

"You're not worried I'm a liar?"

"I'm not worried."

"People say I'm a liar."

"That's someone else."

Xiangshi said: "Okay, I learned to sell literature and martial arts to the emperor's family, I have been learning physiognomy for eight years, and the master said that his fate with my master and apprentice was over, so he drove me away." He paused for a moment before saying, "Since you can trust me and don't think I'm a charlatan, I'll solve a hexagram." Official, whether you are allowed or not, you will only have never seen me in the future. ”

"Yes."

Xiang Shidao picked up the pen, added a stroke at the beginning of the noon word, and said: "Add one to the noon word, you need to stretch out your head and look around, who is your enemy." Now the biggest problem of the official is that he has not found the enemy, and he has not looked around. He added a stroke under the word ox, "Then hold the knife in your hand, and strike first to be strong, so that you can 'live'." ”
