Chapter 21: Zhang Banxian

"Could it be that this world is different from the previous world, this is a world with ghosts?"

Liu Fan looked at the blood words in his palm, and muttered secretly in his heart, he got up and walked to the door, and carefully checked the door bolt, this door bolt is a rectangular wooden strip, there is a vertical space behind the wooden bar, and a long nail is tied next to the vertical space, after inserting the long nail into the vertical hole of the wooden bolt, the door bolt cannot be removed from the outside at all.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Fan confirmed that the bolt had not been opened, the bolt was inserted by him from the inside last night, and the spike was also inserted into the hole of the bolt, unless Liu Fan himself opened the bolt from the inside, otherwise the people outside could not enter at all.

Although Liu Fan is an atheist, but what happened last night made him unable to explain, recalling the scene when the spring spirit appeared out of thin air and disappeared in an instant, and then thinking of last night's dream and the blood words in the palm of his hand, Liu Fan's confidence was shaken, no matter how conceited he was, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't investigate those ethereal ghosts.

With a frustrated sigh, Liu Fan turned left and right, and saw that Feng Jincai and his wife had not gotten up yet, he ran to the courtyard to take off the dried clothes, and after changing into washed clothes, he wanted to say hello to Feng Jincai and his wife, but it was seen that the other party's door had not yet opened, so he opened the courtyard door and left Yizhuang.

After coming out of Yizhuang, Liu Fan returned along the same road, and half an hour later, he walked to a market, and saw that there was a breakfast seller near the market, so he wanted to go there to eat something, but when he touched the money bag, he remembered that he left all the money for Feng Jincai last night.

After a moment's hesitation, Liu Fan turned around and walked in the direction of Yizhuang, and after another half an hour, Liu Fan returned to the door of Yizhuang, when he pushed open the door of Yizhuang and walked in to look for Feng Jincai, he found that Feng Jincai and his wife were not in Yizhuang, the doors and windows of the room where they lived were all open, but the room was empty.

"Brother Feng?" Liu Fan looked in from the window.

"Sister-in-law Feng?" Liu Fan pushed open the door and walked in.

The room of Feng Jincai and his wife is no different from the wing room where Liu Fan lives, they are all ordinary houses, but Feng Jincai has renovated the room where he lives. The west wing is four separate rooms, but this side has been converted into a suite, and the main entrance is the living room, and there is a bedroom on the left and right sides of the living room, and the kitchen at the very edge.

The living room was empty, and the bedroom on the left was covered with a futon that was messy, with a pair of socks thrown on it, and the pillows smelled of hara. There is also a futon in the bedroom on the right, but this bedding is stacked squarely, with two pillows spread flat on the bottom floor, and folded bedding is placed on it, neatly and flatly, looking neat and beautiful.

After going around the three houses, Liu Fan walked to the kitchen again, wanting to find something to eat from the kitchen, but after he lifted the lid of the pot, he found that there was nothing in the pot, and an old hen that had been slaughtered was thrown under the firewood stack, and green onions and ginger were placed on the board, but the old hen had not yet plucked its feathers, and it was estimated that it would not be eaten in the morning.

Open the cupboard on the side, there was nothing in it except two plates of pickles and a stack of empty bowls, not even a piece of dry food was found, Liu Fan closed the cupboard in disappointment, and came to the yard slowly, looking at the quiet and empty courtyard, he couldn't help but be a little strange, and said in his heart What did these two people do? Why can't I find anyone in the morning?

Scratching his head and turning around, such a big Yizhuang is only Liu Fan himself at the moment, he is really a little stunned in his heart, especially thinking of last night's encounter and dream, Liu Fan is even more uncomfortable, seeing that Feng Jincai and his wife are not in Yizhuang at the moment, Liu Fan sighed helplessly, and then he pushed open the door and turned around and left Yizhuang.

I wanted to find the silver that Feng Jin wanted to return, or to have breakfast from Yizhuang, but Liu Fan didn't expect Feng Jincai and his family to go out, this is good, he didn't want to return the silver and breakfast on the mouth, not to mention, but also took a wrongful road, when he walked back to the market, it was already morning, and the originally cold and sparse market became lively at the moment.

Hearing the cries of selling in the bazaar, Liu Fan couldn't help but be curious, and walked along the bazaar to the inside, he looked at this, looked at that, his face was full of curiosity, there are many things in this era that are not available in later generations, and even some items are unheard of, so Liu Fan walked around the market very energetically.

Just when Liu Fan was strolling, suddenly, he saw someone arguing at the location of the market center, which attracted many passers-by to stop and watch, Liu Fan followed the quarrel and came to him, wanting to see what was going on?

I saw a fortune teller wearing a shabby Taoist robe and leaky cloth shoes, with an ordinary appearance, sloppy and unkempt, and a slightly embarrassed face, competing for a stall with a burly, cheeky, and vicious-looking meat butcher.

As the saying goes, whether the transaction is good or not depends on the location. The fortune teller and the meat butcher all took a fancy to the golden stall at the center, and the two came here at the same time, and after they had run out a cloth vendor, they began to fight again.

The butcher wanted to put the meat stall here, but the fortune teller refused. The fortune teller wanted to set up the hexagram here, but the butcher who sold the meat did not agree, and the location was just such a place, so he could only set up a stall, and the two of them didn't want to let each other, and no one would give in.

Don't look at the butcher's five big and three thick, but the fortune teller is vigorous and flexible, when the two fight, the butcher is so tired that he sweats profusely and does not catch the fortune teller, and although the fortune teller tears the butcher's body, he is thin and weak, and the fist slap on the butcher's body is like tickling, and he can't hurt the butcher at all.

Seeing the two of them scuffling together like scoundrels, the onlookers around hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the two away, and everyone split up to persuade each other, and finally pulled the two people away with red faces, and when everyone persuaded the two, Liu Fan got a clue, the middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a shabby Taoist robe was Zhang Banxian who was a true monarch watching the ceremony.

Although Zhang Banxian and the butcher were pulled apart, the two were still arguing over the stall, seeing that neither of them wanted to let go, the people around them were all helpless, I don't know how to persuade next, just when everyone was in trouble, Liu Fan stood up to mediate, looking at the two of them who were huffing, he gave the two of them an idea in public.

Liu Fan told the two that they were not in a hurry to set up a stall first, and he asked the two to stand on the street at the same time and shout, and whoever recruited customers first would use this place as a stall. As for the person who failed to attract customers in time, he could only admit his bad luck and go to another location to set up a stall to do business, and when he heard Liu Fan's proposal, everyone thought it was a solution.

Zhang Banxian and the butcher thought for a while after listening, and the two couldn't think of any other way, so they hesitated for a moment, and the two agreed in public, and then, Zhang Banxian and the butcher walked to the front of the crowd, and shouted loudly at the same time, the butcher shouted Buy one get one free, and Zhang Banxian shouted that the other party had a recent bloody disaster.

To be honest, if you really want to talk about business trading, it has to be the butcher's business to be attractive, as for Zhang Banxian's divination and fortune telling? In this era of advocating Confucianism, Confucianism, and Taoism, he is really a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat on the street. Seeing that under the temptation of the butcher to buy one get one free, someone was ready to come forward to sell meat, and at this time, Liu Fan made a move.

Just when a ruffian young man shouted to the butcher, "Brother Pig, I'm here to help you," and when he was about to pay for the butcher's pork, Liu Fan rushed in front of the man and said to Zhang Banxian: "The student has always felt bad luck recently, and he also dreamed of a female ghost last night, so he asked Banxian to help me guide me and solve my doubts." ”

"Hey...... Look, my first customer, this stall is mine. Zhang Banxian shouted in surprise, and then began to set up a table to unload the bench, Zhang Luo's stall with a busy face, he dragged Liu Fan's hand while Zhang Luo, for fear that Liu Fan would regret it, it was not easy to catch a fortune teller in these years, and he couldn't let go.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the butcher and the young man glared at Liu Fan at the same time, especially the butcher, who admired scholars in this year, if he hadn't seen Liu Fan wearing a scholarly Confucian shirt, it is estimated that he would have beaten people a long time ago, and raised his fist viciously at Liu Fan, and the butcher pushed the wheelbarrow to set up a stall in the open space next to him.

"This son, thanks to your help, I can get this stall, the big stunned man who sells pork comes back to grab the place with me, every time I am beaten, this time it's okay, I finally grabbed this feng shui treasure, in view of the fact that you have helped me a lot this time, today's hexagram, I will not charge you for divination." Zhang Banxian said with a smile.

"Okay, then there will be a half-immortal."

In order to repay Liu Fan for helping him get the position of the stall, Zhang Banxian had to give Liu Fan a free divination, Liu Fan actually didn't believe in the so-called feng shui divination at all, but because of Zhang Banxian's enthusiasm, Liu Fan had to let him give himself divination, and when Zhang Banxian set up the stall, Liu Fan sat opposite Zhang Banxian.

Seeing that Liu Fan was seated, Zhang Banxian handed Liu Fan a piece of paper and a pen, and then, he asked Liu Fan to write a word at will, seeing Zhang Banxian's serious appearance, Liu Fan smiled, and wrote down a Liu Fan's "Fan" word, after writing, he returned the paper and brush to Zhang Banxian, and then waited for Zhang Banxian to explain the hexagram with a smile.

After taking the paper from Liu Fan's hand, looking at the words on the paper, Zhang Banxian observed it carefully for a moment, and then slowly explained: "The original meaning of this word is vulgar, ordinary, and not unusual. But the ordinary character written by Childe is not a block stroke, but is written in a concise penmanship, so that the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

The order of writing the word is first, then and last, but the son does the opposite, you are the first point, and then write a few, which means that in order to avoid some dangers, the son took the initiative to enter the Suzhou Mansion surrounded by water in the three cities to avoid disasters, and the word "fan" removed the top horizontal and middle points, which is the son's "son"

The one horizontal and that point that were removed before look like two and not two, which means that the son should be the second young master of a certain family, but I don't know why? The hexagram shows that the son is not the second young master before, it seems to be a person but it is plausible, and now the son enters the city like a gentleman entering the urn, indicating that the son is currently suffering from blood and light. ”

"Damn, this guy can't really be a half-immortal, right?" Hearing Zhang Banxian's divination, Liu Fan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the other party was too accurate, and Liu Fan's experience was not bad at all.
