Chapter 56: There Are Ghosts in the Inn

"The so-called 'mountain' refers to the method of Taoist cultivation, and 'medicine' refers to the use of prescription medicine, acupuncture, massage, spiritual healing and other methods to treat diseases and save people; 'Destiny' refers to the study of presuming people's destiny in order to achieve the knowledge of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, so as to improve people's needs for development; 'Xiang' refers to a method of observing the objects seen by the eyes in order to achieve good fortune and avoid evil; as for this 'divination'......"

"Oh, I see, this 'divination' refers to fortune-telling!" Hu Yuan hurriedly said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Almost, that's what it means!" Niu Nose said.

Niu Bi and Hu Yuan said as they took out a turtle shell and six copper coins from his Qiankun bag. Niu Bi put the copper coin into the turtle shell, closed his eyes, muttered something in his mouth, covered the turtle shell with both hands and kept shaking, after finishing the recitation, he stopped the turtle shell and poured the copper coin on the table in front of him.

"How?" Hu Yuan was curious and couldn't wait to ask Niu Nose.

I didn't ask Niu Bi, because I didn't have much hope for the hexagram he calculated, first, it is difficult to say whether he calculated accurately or not, and secondly, if he calculated any great hexagram, wouldn't it be that the disaster would start to make me worry before it happened.

Niu Bi spread the copper coin with his hand and said: "This is the hexagram of 'Wind Mountain Gradual', the elephant of 'walking on thin ice'!" ”

"How, how?" Hu Yuan asked anxiously.

"Those who are 'gradually' will also enter. Therefore, there is the image of walking on thin ice. It is like a person crossing a river without a bridge, walking on the ice, not wanting to go to the middle, the ice is very thin, and the heart is really frightened. There is also a poem that says: Pedestrians on the road are in the middle of winter, crossing the river without a bridge and walking on thin ice, passing cautiously, and falling into the water with a wrong step. To put it simply, it means to be careful in everything. Bullnose said.

Hu Yuan said: "Niu Nose, you said a lot, I understood the last sentence, but it is no different from not saying it." ”

"How can it be no different, I have always been very accurate, it seems that we must be more careful when we go to the destination this time," Niu Bi said as he looked at me.

"Bull Nose, can you give me a hanging?" Hu Yuan asked.

"Okay, what are you going to count?" Bullnose asked.

"It's marriage!"

"What? Haha......" Niu Bi almost cramped when he heard that Hu Yuan was going to count marriage, "You want to count marriage?" How old are you, haha......"

"Why, no!" Hu Yuan saw him laughing at himself and said hatefully.

"Okay, okay, I'll count it for you, I'll count it for you!" Ox Nose laughed as he picked up the copper coin again and put it into the turtle shell.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the girl in the car during the day, and I looked into her seat. At this time, on that seat, there was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and it seemed that the girl had already gotten off the bus.

At that time, there was no direct train from my hometown to SC, and after several transfers, the three of us finally arrived in the land of Bashu.

After five or six days of exhaustion, we had already collapsed. As soon as I got off the train, I found a hotel near the train station, and the name of the hotel is also very interesting, called "Charming Rose", which is very poetic when you hear it.

Niu Nose touched his chin and said, "Could it be that this hotel has any special services?" ”

Hu Yuan glared at him.

"Bull Nose, how come you, a cultivator, always have some such thoughts?" I asked.

Niubi hehe: "Adjust the atmosphere, adjust the atmosphere." ”

Hu Yuan hurriedly said: "I see, he is a flower monk!" Oh no, it's Ikebanachi. ”

We were laughing when suddenly a guy came out from behind us and tapped me on the shoulder, startling me. When I looked back, it was a middle-aged woman, slightly obese, dressed in a more fashionable way, with curly hair.

"Customer, I'm the proprietress here, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The woman asked.

Hu Yuan was also a little frightened, a little resentful, and complained: "Boss, why are you walking silently, suddenly came out from behind, scared me to death." ”

When the proprietress heard this, she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm cleaning up in this room, and when I heard a guest coming, I walked out, I didn't expect to scare you." As she spoke, the hostess pointed to a room behind us. I glanced at the door of the room, and it said "000".

"Ah, it's okay, we want two rooms." I said to the hostess.

"You're from the Northeast, aren't you? As soon as I heard that your accent is from the Northeast, it is not easy to come from afar, don't worry, I will open you two best rooms, how about ten yuan per night? The proprietress said.

"My home is in the Northeast, I'm sorry for you." I said to the hostess.

"No trouble, no trouble, come upstairs with me, your rooms are at 203 and 204."

We followed the hostess down the narrow staircase to the second floor. As I walked, I looked around, and there were a lot of faces and butterflies made into specimens hanging on the wall on the side of the stairs, and a one-meter-high blue and white porcelain vase was placed at the corner of the stairs.

The hostess made small talk with us as she went upstairs.

"Look at this little brother's dress, is he a Taoist priest?"

Niu Bi talks a lot of nonsense on weekdays, but today I don't know why, the proprietress talked to him, and he didn't answer, so I continued: "Yes, he is a Taoist priest." ”

"Maoshan's?" The hostess asked.

As soon as I heard it, this proprietress still knew Maoshan: "Do you still know Maoshan?" He's not a Maoshan sect, he's authentic, authentic, what's coming from? I suddenly forgot what kind of sect Niu Bi was, so I looked at Niu Bi, but Niu Bi seemed to have something on his mind and didn't answer.

"Zhengyi," Hu Yuan said.

"Ah, right, the right one!" I said to the hostess.

"Yo, I heard from the guests in the past that the Taoist priest of Maoshan is very good at catching ghosts, so isn't he, an authentic 'Zhengyi faction', even more powerful?" The proprietress asked with a smile.

"He's a charlatan, and he's a little!" Hu Yuan teased at the proprietress .

When the proprietress heard Hu Yuan say this, her eyes rolled and she said with a smile: "Haha, your room has arrived." The one across the stairs is the bathroom. The proprietress pointed in the direction she had just passed, and then I noticed that the bathroom was facing the staircase, and the door was open, and a white cloth hung on the door.

Niu Bi and I lived in 204, and Hu Yuan lived in 203 opposite. The hostess told us if there was anything we needed to go downstairs to find her and left.

This room is about a dozen square meters, with two single beds placed side by side, and a cabinet next to the bed, on which an ashtray and a vase are placed.

Closing the door, Niu Bi said mysteriously: "Ling Fei, have you noticed that there is a problem with this hotel." ”
