Chapter 25: Moonrise Opens
The master sat on the bench, and he also habitually glanced at the empty space of the vegetable stall next to him, and there was some confusion in his eyes.
Yi Xingchen was still standing by the hexagram stall and beckoned pedestrians up and down to come over and tell the hexagrams, saying nice flattering words. However, it was not opened until the sun turned westward, and there was not a single fortune teller. Gongsun He has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and in the memory that Yi Xingchen endured, there is nothing strange about this kind of scene, but for him before he crossed over, he still felt frustrated.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, he sat down on the vacant bench next to the master in frustration, and the master silently handed him the water hyacinth.
Yi Xingchen took it, poured a few sips of cold water, wiped his mouth, looked at the pedestrians on the street, and decided to count a hexagram to see if it could be opened today.
Just when this thought flashed in his mind, there was an old farmer in front of him, carrying a pig cage made of bamboo strips on his back, which contained a little piglet, and when he passed in front of Yi Xingchen, the little pig screamed a few times.
After Yi Xingchen listened attentively, he found that the little piglet screamed a total of eight times. The pig is a hexagram in the gossip, so the hexagram is taken as the upper hexagram. The pig barked eight times, and with the current hour, it was concluded that this hexagram is the Mizusawa Festival hexagram. After decomposition, the body hexagram is Kanshui, and the hexagram is used to exchange the gold hexagram, and the gold is born and the water is auspicious, which means that it will be able to open today, and it can also make a lot of money.
As for when it opens, the hexagram represents the crescent moon and the stars. That is, you have to wait for the moon to come out and the stars to come out before you can open.
He immediately became excited, but at this moment, a three-dimensional hexagram suddenly appeared in his mind.
This time, only the original hexagram appeared, and it was not disassembled.
Because his divination is whether it can be opened and when it will be opened, this kind of clear answer can be solved only by this hexagram, and generally does not need to be opened to see the mutual hexagram change. Because opening is instantaneous, there is generally no process. In fact, it only takes a few seconds to unwrap this hexagram.
The hexagram that appears in my mind is the Kan hexagram at the top and the hexagram at the bottom. The whole hexagram is gray, except for the second hexagram, which is black and bright, and it keeps flashing.
Judging from the summary of the hexagrams that appeared in Yi Xingchen's mind before, red represents great luck, black shiny represents the great murderer, and the yellow and cyan in the middle represent the small auspicious and the small murderer respectively, and now there is a black bright color representing the great murderer on the hexagram, which makes Yi Xingchen surprised.
This color also appeared on the way back to Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu didn't come today, I don't know if something happened, although it has not been confirmed, but it is enough to make Yi Xingchen's heart tighten.
He immediately wondered what this second flicker was trying to remind him to pay attention to.
The second hexagram of the Mizusawa Festival quickly flashed in his mind: "Don't go out of the court, fierce." ”
The meaning of this sentence is that it is dangerous to stay at home.
What does that mean? Do you remind yourself and Master that you must go out today, otherwise there will be danger? No, it's been out for a long time, and it's impossible for the fact hexagrams that already exist to appear, and the hexagrams that appear are definitely things that are and haven't appeared yet. Therefore, this sentence will be dangerous if you stay at home and definitely does not refer to your current situation.
Yi Xingchen was confused, not knowing how to connect this sentence with the matter he wanted to ask.
When did he calculate when it opened? Can it be opened? And the words that appeared had nothing to do with what he wanted to ask, so what did this three-dimensional hexagram in his mind remind him to pay attention to?
His head was turning over and over again.
Gongsun He looked up and saw that the sun had already set on the roof, and it would soon fall down the mountain, and it was about to get dark, and saw Yi Xingchen sitting on the stool in a daze, looking at the ground in a daze, and did not call the pedestrians to come over to tell the hexagram, thinking that he was tired, he sighed and said, "Let's go back, there is no way to open today." We still have rice, we can eat it for several days, don't worry, let's go. ”
Yi Xingchen woke up at this time, stood up and was about to pack his things, when he suddenly remembered that the hexagram didn't say that the moon and stars would open when they came out? Moreover, judging from the hexagram, Jin Shengshui is a good fortune, and he can make a fortune, which cannot be let go. So far, none of the hexagrams that have appeared in my mind have not worked.
However, he couldn't tell the master that he had just made a divination and that he would not open until the moon and stars came out, so the master would never believe it, so he rolled his eyes, held his stomach and said, "Master, I have a stomachache, go to a thatched house first, and then let's go back and then go." ”
Gongsun He glared at him and said, "Can't you endure it?" It's convenient to go back later. ”
"I can't wait, I'm going to pull my pants." Yi Xingchen deliberately held his stomach with a bitter face, and without waiting for the master to speak, he trotted into the alley across the street, and his inherited memory told him that there was a latrine in the alley opposite, which was the closest to the hexagram stall.
Of course, he didn't really want to go to the hut. After entering the alley and leaving the Master's sight, he straightened up, hid in a corner, and continued to ponder what the second hexagram flashed in his mind meant. What to remind yourself of.
But he thought about it for a long time, but to no avail. At this time, the sun finally set, and the afterglow quickly disappeared, the sky became gray, and the stars jumped out of the sky one after another, and near the mountains, a bright moon gradually showed a silver light.
The stars and the moon are out.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly left the hiding place, quietly touched the mouth of the alley, and looked at the master's hexagram stall.
Gongsun He was sitting on a bench, talking to a middle-aged man, smiling all over his face.
Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be overjoyed, the hexagram he calculated came true again, and sure enough, when the stars and moon came out, the customer came to the door. He hurriedly trotted all the way to the hexagram stall, and heard the master say, "Wait a minute, when my apprentice comes back and collects the stall, we will go with you to tell the hexagram." ”
As soon as he said this, Gongsun He saw Yi Xingchen running over, and couldn't help glaring: "Why have you been there for so long?" Hurry up, this guest officer invites us to come to the door to tell the hexagram, you take the hexagram stall home first, we are waiting for you here, go and come back quickly. ”
Yi Xingchen hurriedly agreed, and glanced at the customer, the fabric he was wearing was very good, and his face was full of oil, and he saw that the oil and water were very sufficient, indicating that the diet was also good, and he should be a servant of a big family or something.
As soon as I heard that I was going to come to the door to tell the hexagram, this kind of opportunity was very rare, in the memory of Yi Xingchen's inheritance, there were not many people who invited their masters and apprentices to come to the door to tell the hexagram, but every time they went to the door to tell the hexagram, they could basically get a rich reward. Because even if these big families are fortune tellers who can't calculate accurately, they are pitiful to see the old and the young, and it is hard to come to the door to tell fortunes, so they will also give a very rich reward in the eyes of their master and apprentice.
From this point of view, the hexagram Jin Shengshui Daji that he calculated before will make a profit, which should be right.
However, what does the murder of the second hexagram of the Mizusawa Festival mean? He still couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, picked up the bench, carried the suitcase on his back, and went back to his lodgings to put his things down, and then came back and followed the middle-aged man in a short shirt along the street with his master.
After turning a few streets, the street gradually widened, red lanterns appeared on both sides of the street, and most of the pedestrians were dressed in gorgeous clothes, some of them were already drunk. And there were some flowery girls in the buildings on both sides, full of incense, waving handkerchiefs on the roadside and upstairs to greet passers-by, saying some crazy words**.
Yi Xingchen's inherited memories told him that this street was a place for high-end fireworks in the city.
They came to one of the buildings and looked up to see that a plaque on the door read "Cuixiang Building".
The middle-aged man smiled and said to Gongsun He, "Sir, please come in." ”
Gongsun He was stunned, and looked at the door and the scantily clad ** woman upstairs who was eating and laughing at him, and suddenly blushed. He didn't expect that the person who invited them to tell the hexagram turned out to be the person in the **.
Gongsun He blushed and said to the middle-aged man in black: "You didn't tell me that it was a ** person who asked me to tell a fortune." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Why, can't the ** person be a hexagram?" You can rest assured, you are absolutely indispensable to the fortune telling, and the girls are very generous, and the reward is very heavy, you will definitely make a windfall this time. However, you have to be able to speak, you have to be able to read what you say, and you have to say something nice. Of course, this is not a problem for you fortune tellers. ”
