Meal.

In the backyard.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the large cart in front of him with the words "Feng Shui Fortune Telling, Measuring and Transporting to Make Up for Deficiencies", and couldn't help but be amazed:

"I didn't expect that this guy of yours is quite big, and he is much more upscale than those stalls and fortune-telling peers at small tables."

"Isn't that? Don't you look at what kind of reputation your sixth master and I have in these ten miles and eight towns, can the title of Pei Banxian be called for nothing? As long as I come out of the stall, the queue is simply endless, let me tell you. ”

The old man began to brag while touching the cart, like an old general who had been retired from the battlefield for many years and was reminiscing about the eventful years of the past.

Zhang Xiaoman was a little puzzled: "Sixth Master, since your business is so prosperous, why do you still have to wash your hands in a golden basin?" ”

The sixth grandfather was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then put on a look of indifference and said: "Hey, where did you come from, why, I'm just tired of it, don't make ...... of it."

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at his mouth: "Sixth master, who is with whom, don't you want to fool me, don't I know about you?" You're about to take your little bit of skill as the root of your life, baby! You're tired of telling me, can I believe it? ”

The sixth grandfather opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, but immediately swallowed it back and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, where did the young man come from so many questions, don't ask nonsense!" You shouldn't know that......"

As he spoke, he turned around and went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhang Xiaoman saw him like this, where could he still hold back his curiosity?

He chased after him in three or two steps, and once again persuaded the old man to come.

In the end, under his tugging and hard soaking, he finally "moved" the old man and successfully pried his mouth open.

"Hey, stinky boy! I can't help you! I'm curious about everything, I want to inquire about everything, it's just like your mother! ”

The sixth grandfather's face was full of reluctance, but he still said: "I don't feel right about these things. Doubt! Don't go around talking nonsense when you go back, do you hear me? ”

Of course, Zhang Xiaoman should be full of words.

The sixth grandfather sighed and said slowly.

"Sixth master, I have been a fortune teller for half my life, and usually the neighbors joke about it, calling it 'Pei Banxian', and everyone sees that I am old, so I am called 'Sixth Master'. But it's okay for me to fool outsiders with that little thing, but can we still know the bottom line of our own family? It's all fake, it's fooling! ”

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but nodded.

That's right, the sixth grandfather has calculated his life for half his life, and in the eyes of outsiders, he looks like an unfathomable and immortal style.

But in the eyes of his own family, he is a complete old god, a big fool.

When you meet, you will first be given a feng shui fortune-telling mantra, and then shake your head and start pretending to be a ghost, and those unfamiliar laymen will have to pay obediently immediately.

"So your conscience finds? Didn't do it? Zhang Xiaoman answered.

The old man glared at him fiercely: "Don't interject!" ”

Zhang Xiaoman smiled and made a gesture of please.

Pei Lao Liu pulled over a stool, poured another cup of white tea, and then said:

"Don't look at what kind of cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, Taishang Sanqing, etc., I always know in my heart, where do those things come from in the world, they are all made up by people, fake!"

Zhang Xiaoman listened to it on the side, and also grabbed a handful of peanuts, but it had a bit of the feeling of listening to a book in an old tavern.

But this man said, "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? If you walk too much at night, you will eventually run into ghosts! ”

The old man suddenly changed his tone, and said with a serious expression: "I won't tell you a ...... The other day, I really ran into something dirty! ”

"What! Dirty!? ”

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly exclaimed when he heard this.

He said that he didn't hold the one in his hand well, and the peanut he threw into his mouth smashed directly on his face, Pei Lao Liu's face.

"What are you doing, kid!"

Pei Lao Liu was taken aback by him, took the peanut and threw it into his mouth at once.

"I thought you didn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to react so much."

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned, and then realized that his reaction was indeed a bit exaggerated.

He restrained his expression, his face tried to regain his calm, but his heart was full of turbulence.

If it was before, of course he wouldn't believe these nonsense words Pei Lao Liu, he would naturally listen to his words as ghost stories - anyway, the old guy used to do this a lot.

But this time it was different, because not only had he just acquired the system, but he had experienced this horror and weirdness firsthand just yesterday.

At the same time, he also understands that Pei Laoliu will never give up his fortune-telling career for no reason.

"No, Sixth Master, don't I scare you, what you said is too attractive, I can't help but substitute it." Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly smiled and helped him pour full tea.

Pei Laoliu rolled his eyes, but he was not polite, and took a big sip when he picked it up.

"I said, why did you kid live more and more daringly, and I haven't even said the beginning, so you're scared?"

After he finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, and then continued: "You must know that my sixth master has lived for most of his life, and he has also dealt with feng shui tombs for most of his life, but he has never heard of any souls and ghosts, and he has never believed it!" ”

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but sweat, the old fortune teller who was doing this every day didn't believe it himself, but the group of "customers" were convinced one by one.

"You don't know how shocked I was when I saw that thing with my own eyes."

Pei Lao Liu seemed to remember the scene at that time, and his eyes gradually revealed a trace of horror.

"A few days ago, when I was setting up a stall at the Convenience Bridge, a guy with gold-wire glasses came, and he opened his mouth to ask for a lawyer."

Pei Laoliu recalled.

"You don't know, that guy has an anxious expression on his face, it doesn't seem to be a fake, and he is wearing a suit and a watch. Look at me, big fish! Then I heard the address, Fat Fish Villa District! You say, such a big fish, can I let him run away? ”

Zhang Xiaoman was familiar with his grandfather's style, nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "The sixth master, how much did you offer at that time?" ”

Pei Lao Liu showed a smile on his face and made a gesture of eight.

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then smiled, and didn't forget to give him a thumbs up.

Pei Lao Liu continued: "That young man took me off the bridge and got into a luxury car, that shape, tsk...... On the way, he told me that their basement was haunted! Not only do strange sounds come out every day, but there is also a constant smell wafting out. After calling the police several times, it was useless, and when people stopped in the basement, there was no sound at all, and even the smell could not be found! ”

"As soon as I heard it, I immediately knew in my heart that it was some kind of rat or something like that. I don't know how many times I've encountered similar situations like this, and every time I go to the door, it's the same set. Draw a talisman first, then recite the mantra, and finally secretly sprinkle a little rat killer to ensure that the medicine is cured! ”

Pei Lao Liu paused when he said this, he reached out to take the cup on the table, but his eyes began to fill with fear.

Zhang Xiaoman noticed that the sixth grandfather's hand seemed to be trembling slightly.

"And then?" He asked.

Pei Lao Liu was no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning, and his tone became heavy and slow.

"Later, I realized that I really shouldn't have gone to this meeting!"

Pei Laoliu patted his leg and regretted:

"After I went, I realized that their house was really weird. That smell, where can a rat make a fuss! That's the smell of corpses! ”

Pei Laoliu saw Zhang Xiaoman's somewhat puzzled expression and explained: "When I was young, I helped people move the grave and open the coffin in the surrounding villages, and the smell was exactly the same as at that time!" ”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

Pei Lao Liu continued: "I asked him, didn't you say that this smell is only in the basement, why is it all over the house now, and even the yard can smell a lot." As a result, the boy told me that he didn't know either, and that he was expecting me to figure it out. ”

"Actually, my first reaction at the time was to have a reason to increase the money, but I can't say it directly, I have to find a reason to do it."

"Later, when I got to the basement door, I heard a 'whine-hoo' sound inside, as if someone was crying all along. At the time, I felt that something was wrong, but when I thought about it, I thought that there was a leak of air underneath, maybe it was the sound of the wind. ”

"You just got in?" Zhang Xiaoman also sweated, recalling the weirdness he encountered yesterday, and couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

Pei Lao Liu showed a regretful expression again, and he said: "You don't know, when I opened the door of the basement, good guy!" The stench was almost turning into a miasma, as if it was burning down there. ”

"Although I am a little reluctant, but I accept money to do things for others, it is already difficult to ride a tiger, if I run away directly, my sixth master's reputation will not stink in the future?"

Pei Lao Liu's face was entangled.

"So, I forced myself in. But I was always a little panicked by myself, so I said to the young man, this basement of your house happens to be on a natural array, and that evil cult has already cultivated here. When exorcising evil spirits, you must be present with righteousness, otherwise I, an outsider, will not be able to move it and leave. ”

"He believed?" Zhang Xiaoman asked.

"If you don't believe him, there's no way, isn't this house theirs, where will he live if he doesn't come? So, when the two of me entered the house and set up the things for the guys, I went around the inside, and after looking around, I didn't find any tricks, let alone vents, not even a rat hole! ”

"When he saw that I had been walking there for a long time, but to no avail, he asked me if I could not drive away. I was afraid that he would suspect it, so I told him that the ghost thing was too strong, and I wanted to close the door, close the space, and make a big array of ghosts! ”

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly heard what he said about the Great Array of Ghosts, and somehow felt that the chill before disappeared all of a sudden, but he wanted to laugh a little.

Pei Laoliu didn't notice Zhang Xiaoman's expression at all at this time, and said to himself: "Guess what happened later?" It doesn't matter if the door is closed or not, it almost scared me to death when it was closed! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoman said curiously.

"Behind that door, there's a human face attached!"

Pei Laoliu's eyes were frightened.

"And the way this man's face looks, and the man standing next to me...... Same!! ”
