The girl couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard it, he couldn't imagine that Yi Xingchen really promised to help her calculate a hexagram for a penny, his heart was full of gratitude, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little. Hurriedly put the penny carefully on the wooden box in front of Yi Xingchen. Then he sat down on the stool next to him, sniffed, and said, "I want to calculate, can my father be in high school this time for the college exam?" ”

The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty is the lowest level of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, Yi Xingchen still has some understanding of the ancient imperial examination system, the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty is generally divided into three levels, the lowest level is the examination hosted by the state and county, called the academy examination, the reader who participates in the examination is called Tong Sheng, not a child, among them may be an old man in his seventies and eighties, who has not passed the academy examination in his life.

For example, the girl's father should be in his thirties and forties, and it is normal for him to take the children's voice test. A person who has not been able to pass the exam until he is thirty or forty years old is really sad, judging from his daughter's miserable appearance, I am afraid that life at home is very difficult.

Yi Xingchen very much hopes to calculate for the other party that his father can pass the college examination this time to become a showman, so that the family situation can be improved, so Yi Xingchen nodded and motioned to her: "You pray first, and then make rice, I will calculate a hexagram for you, just look at it." ”

The girl nodded gratefully, folded her hands, turned to look at the fairy pavilion, closed her eyes and prayed silently. Then he turned around and took three pinches of rice and put them on a plate.

Yi Xingchen counted the number and added the hour, and got a hexagram, but it was Xun Weifeng. In the fourth line, after Yi Xingchen flashed this hexagram in his mind, he sighed, because of this hexagram. The body hexagram is the Xunmu hexagram, and the change hexagram that represents the result is the Qianjin hexagram. Jin Kemu is the main murderer, which means that this matter cannot be done. So, his father didn't have a chance to pass the exam this time.

Seeing that Yi Xingchen was stunned at that time, the eager hope in the girl's eyes quickly disappeared, and her eyes began to fill with tears, and she whispered: "Half Immortal, is there no hope?" ”

Yi Xingchen really couldn't bear to make this girl so sad, her life was already so miserable, and erasing her last hope would not be a good thing for her and her family. Although honesty is a virtue. But sometimes telling the truth hurts. Therefore, Xingchen decides to tell a white lie.

He said: "No, your father will definitely be able to become a showman, because the movement of this hexagram is in the fourth line, and the epigram of the "Book of Changes" says, 'Repentance, Tian will get three products.'" It means that there is no remorse, and when you hunt, you get a variety of animals. Of course, the meaning of the hexagram is not that your father will change his career to hunt as a hunter, but that he will change his path and do something else. The harvest can also be achieved through other means. He wants to change his thinking, he can't die studying, and maybe he can become a talent through other efforts. ”

After Yi Xingchen explained the hexagram like this, he just wanted to comfort her before that. After this explanation, my heart couldn't help but move, and I thought to myself, this explanation of the hexagram is not impossible. Maybe change his way of thinking and don't die reading, he won't be able to read until he is thirty or forty years old. I'm afraid that the hope of living again is very slim, and changing careers may be able to bring life to the family again. It is not a good thing to find a way to live and change the circumstances of your family. He was a little complacent that he had come up with such a solution to help her out of her predicament, though he didn't know if it would work.

Being able to be a show is the greatest hope of this girl and her father, so that the family will not have to serve forced labor, do not pay taxes, and do not have to kneel when they see the county master. Life will also get better, and no matter how you get such treatment, therefore, the girl's face regained hope, wiped a handful of tears, smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, then, what should my father do to become a showman?" ”

Yi Xingchen just said this casually before, just to comfort her and make her change her mind, so he didn't think about what to do with the other party. Therefore, he smiled and said: "The hexagram only shows that he can change his mind and work hard to achieve his goal from other ways, as for what way, the hexagram is not so clear." If he really wants to hunt, it's not impossible, but I guess he has read for so many years, I'm afraid that he can't even pull the bow, so don't think about hunting, there are other ways, let him think about it again, maybe he can think of a way, go back and discuss it with your father. ”

Hearing Yi Xingchen speak so smoothly and without specific directions, the hope in the girl's eyes slowly disappeared again. She bowed her head silently and turned to leave.

Yi Xingchen saw the disappointment in her eyes, and estimated that she thought in her heart that she must be making up nonsense, and wanted to coax her casually for a penny, so she had no ability at all, and she couldn't figure out what to do, so she was full of disappointment.

This aroused Yi Xingchen's competitive spirit. He didn't want people to think that he was a person who didn't learn anything. So he smiled faintly and said, "Girl, if there is nothing to do, you should go back early, there is a cemetery next to your house, you may be afraid if you go back late, so let's go home early." ”

The woman was taken aback, turned her head, and looked at Yi Xingchen in a daze, she didn't know why this fortune teller was able to accurately say that there was a grave next to their house? The house prices and land prices in the city are very expensive, and they can't afford to live in a good place, so the land price is very cheap because there are a few mounds and graves that have not been moved, so they live here.

When Yi Xingchen saw her surprised, he knew that he was right, and smiled again and said, "If my guess is correct, there is a well in the southeast of your house." And I also know that your name is cursive. Am I right? ”

The girl was even more surprised, her eyes widened, she had never seen this fortune teller before, and she had never seen him set up a stall here before, why did she know exactly where she lived?

Yi Xingchen saw her look and knew that he was right, just now when he saw the disappointment of the girl, Yi Xingchen rose in his heart to be competitive, he didn't want the other party to look at him, thinking that he didn't learn and didn't have skills, so he grabbed three small handfuls of rice and started a hexagram, which was a feng shui hexagram, which was split apart, the lower hexagram was Zhenmu hexagram, representing the southeast, and the upper hexagram was Gentu hexagram, representing the grave. The hexagram that represents the specific location is the Kanshui hexagram, which means that there is water next to his residence.

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "I said this for no other purpose. Just wanted you to know that my fortune tellers are accurate. So, you go back and talk to your father as I said earlier. It should be able to help your dad realize his dream of showing off his talents, that's all. Nothing else. Okay, girl, you can go. With that, Yi Xingchen sat down, stopped looking at her, and looked back at the Immortal Pavilion.

The girl stayed for a long time, then walked back and said, "The little girl admires the son's fortune telling so accurately, and she is also glad to be able to get the guidance of the child." Thanks a lot. When I went back, I must report this to my father and take my leave. After that, after the blessing, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Yi Xingchen only thought that this was an episode, so he didn't think much about it, and he didn't know if his words could help the other party. For the next two days, he continued to stay at home, but the two days were somewhat fruitful. He found that some people on the rivers and lakes who were obviously martial arts had entered the Taoist temple and had not yet come out.

Taoist temples also often accommodate some wanderers. However, it doesn't matter if it is changed to another place, Yi Xingchen is the target of his own attention, and of course he has aroused vigilance. So, let the shops in the back help take care of the stalls, and then go in and take a turn. It turned out that the Jianghu guests were nowhere to be seen, and I don't know if they left while they were away. Still hiding in the house and not coming out. Yi Xingchen felt that the latter was more likely.

Then, he saw a Taoist priest come out and post a notice. On the wall next to the entrance of the Taoist temple. Then pilgrims gathered around to see it, and talked in low voices. Because he couldn't see what was written from a distance, Yi Xingchen paced to the notice, looked up and looked closely, but it was a recruitment notice. In the Taoist temple, a secretary should be hired, and the handwriting should be neat and fluent, and the salary should be 30 wen per day. Manage two meals a day.

The price of 30 wen a day is much better than the hexagram I used to calculate with the master on the street, I used to calculate the hexagram with the master for a day, and I could earn five wen and ten wen by opening a zhang, and sometimes I couldn't even open it, I didn't make a penny, and I could earn 30 wen by helping others write things.

The next morning, he set up a hexagram stall and prepared to continue squatting.

Because he found that the number of visitors to the Taoist temple gradually increased, he began to believe that something might happen here.

He was squatting opposite the Taoist temple, staring at the Taoist temple opposite, when he suddenly heard a weak woman's voice behind him: "Half-immortal boy!" ”

Yi Xingchen turned his head and saw that there was a girl of the same age as himself, with a vegetable face and a thin body standing beside him, who was the girl he had given her a penny before.

Behind him, there stood a thin middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes. There was a gloomy look in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said to Yi Xingchen: "Half immortal, contemptible Yan Hongzhi, this is the little girl Yan Guling." The day before yesterday, the little girl went home and said that the half-immortal had calculated a hexagram, and let the contemptible people find another way to achieve their goal and become a showman. It's just that the little girl doesn't understand the hexagrams, so she can't explain it clearly, and the contemptible people have also thought of some tricks according to what the half-immortal said in the past few days, but there has been no progress. I heard the little girl say that the half-immortal fortune-telling is very accurate, and she can actually calculate that there are graves and wells in the surrounding environment of the humble house, which is really surprising and admirable, so I still came to ask the half-immortal for advice, thank you. "Say goodbye and bow for a long time.

The girl next to her also followed her father's blessing, but her eyes looked at Yi Xingchen eagerly.

Yi Xingchen couldn't imagine that this girl actually invited her father, before he just saw her pitiful, and calculated a hexagram for her on a whim, in fact, it was just casually talked, but now that people are asking for the door, it seems that they have to take it seriously, help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west.
