Chapter 1 Fortune telling

Next Chapter

"There is a popular proverb on the island: The day when the stars are dim, the time when the gods are at the end. ”

"Astrology has been studied by our country for a long period of time, when many world-famous astrological priests were born in the Duchy of Vulken, and the world's tallest stargazing tower is on this island. ”

Just after noon, the shopkeeper who came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks met such a young man who was full of alcohol, and chattered a lot about him, so angry that he almost couldn't help but take the chair off his buttocks.

"Yan Yanfang, the money hasn't been given enough, so don't talk nonsense. ”

"I said that the business philosophy of your inn needs to be changed, and the distance between the tourist attractions is so close, and the brain is not good. Called as Yan Yanfang, he slapped the table and laughed, "Your boss can get the moon first near the water, the Junlong people are generous and do not seek small profits, the Belen people are spicy and bitter, and the taste is strange, and the Jieluni people prefer comfortable accommodation to food, and understanding the eating habits of various ethnic groups will help you attract business." ”

The shopkeeper crossed his hands on his hips, and a group of thugs had gathered behind him.

"Luoxinglou is not a tourist attraction, and we don't want to be a star inn. ”

"Yes, I think there will be a day sooner or later under Mo Ran's management, if it were my master, it wouldn't be necessarily, my master is ......."

Before the words fell, the people behind the shopkeeper punched and kicked him.

"Do you dare to mention your master, do you think you are impatient? If he really has the ability, the current high priest of Qidao Island will not be someone else. ”

The fat shopkeeper pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, stopped the thugs, and continued: "Get out of here! ”

With a bloody face, he staggered to his feet, avoiding everyone's disdainful eyes, and walked around a street corner, leaning against the wall and vomiting.

I don't know how long it was, until the wine wore off, and a wrinkled hand reached out to his shoulder.

"Master...... Let's get out of the island, no one here wants to believe us anymore. Yan Yanfang turned his head and looked at the old man's bloodshot pupils, "Is it possible to stay to witness the destruction of the island? ”

"If I can't avoid the catastrophe of the island, wouldn't it prove that I am an incompetent person in their mouths, and no matter how bad it is, this place is also my home. ”

"Did you hear that just now?" Yan Fang took the gauze and carefully wiped the wound on his hand.

Tong Hui put down her hand, and the memories came to her heart like a tide.

After seven years, he had not only heard, but what could he do after reading countless historical materials and scriptures? He still could not uncover the prophecies of destruction, and the vagaries of the stars were even more elusive, and he hesitated, and even almost gave up, but his self-esteem still drove him to study, and finally came up with a proverb that harmed all beings.

He never regretted ruining his future by leaking the secret of heaven by gaffes, the truth will not be changed because of the slander of villains, and those who ignore the facts are disrespectful to the gods.

After being dismissed from Star Academy, he became a priest in the Church of Destiny, and his daily job was to give life prophecies to penitents. Since the Church of the Mandate of Heaven is the only Tianyao Sect church on the island, it has only been three years since it was introduced to the Principality of Walken as a foreign religion, and there are not many believers in it, so Shen Yunzhao, the patriarch of the island, also turned a blind eye to this and let him go.

However, the good times did not last long, and the fact that Tong Hui's inscription caused panic on Qidao was still learned by the Tianyao Holy See, coupled with his previous unscrupulous behavior, it was really not suitable to continue to serve as a priest, rather than letting the Holy See hold the patriarch accountable, it was better for him to take the initiative to leave.

After that, his life was not enough to describe with "poverty", he had to take the sky as a curtain and the earth as a seat, and when he was thirsty, he used a clay pot to collect nectar from the sky, and when he was hungry, he asked his apprentices to ask for some food from well-wishers, and when he was idle, he made a fortune telling for others to earn a few small sums of money so that his apprentices could eat and drink.

"Good apprentice, these days are not good for teachers and students, you have to stay and help well, don't cause trouble everywhere. ”

"It's those people who can't be reasoned in the first place, forget it, don't mention it. Yan Yanfang rubbed the wound on his head, and his arm touched Tong Hui's shoulder, "Master, what are you going to inscribe today?"

After a long time, Tong Hui, who was squatting on the ground, reacted, he handed the written notebook to Tong Yanfang's hand, and then straightened the ink pen, his face was full of meaning.

Tong Yanfang, who took the copy, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh: "Are you sure you want to use this word?"

"No need, no matter how stupid the teacher is, he won't smash his own signboard. Tong Hui pointed to the curtain held up with bamboo poles beside her, "You can read these eight words aloud to me, today's matter, as a teacher, you can not worry about you, otherwise you don't want wine money in the future." ”

So Yan Yanfang swallowed his saliva, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly.

The cacophony of cacophony suddenly spread through the streets, disturbing the surrounding passers-by, the men who passed by blocked their ears, the women comforted the crying children, the old men shook their heads and smacked their tongues, and no one stopped out of curiosity.

If it weren't for the wine money, he wouldn't have shouted a long time ago, and Tong Hui had no intention of asking him to stop, until the silver hair swept in front of his eyes, and he noticed that Ling Hui next to him was stunned.

Click!

With a snap of their fingers, the two stared directly at the girl, who looked to be about six years old.

"Little girl, do you want to tell fortunes?"

"Anyway, I'm idle and bored, let's see if it's fun. The girl let out a hey laugh, took the notebook handed by Tong Yanfang, looked at it cursory, and handed it back to Yan Yanfang.

"Do you see anything?"

The girl shook her head and said to Yan Yanfang: "Regardless of this word, what does the big brother mean by what he shouted just now?

"We are fortune tellers, and through word measurement, we write proverbs and deduce the future fate of the person being tested. Tong Hui patted her thigh and sneered, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Shen Yunzhao if he still remembers the former high priest of Qidao Ling Hui?"

"How did you know my father's name?" the girl took a half-step back in fright.

"Not only do I know your father, but I also took your name. She sighed and continued, "On the day you were born, the white bird, which symbolizes calamity, flew to the island, and the light of the sun was completely obscured by the bright stars. ”

Yes, the girl in front of me was the girl who was only the size of a doll, with curved eyebrows and a bulging face, lying in the small quilt, happily pointing to the golden staff that fell from the sky.

The girl was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while, until Yan Yanfang woke up on the side.

"Shen Fangli, let's get back to the topic, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this word? I will come up with a prophecy that predicts your future fate based on your answer. ”

"Don't tease me, are you a fortune teller?" Obviously, Shen Fangli regarded his words as child's play, smiling like rippling water waves, showing the word "play" in the upper left corner of the paper in front of Tong Hui.

"Little sister, my master's fortune-telling is very accurate, and he really didn't tease you. Yan Yanfang patiently answered, "Think about what things you have done related to 'playing'. ”

"Racing against your own shadow, dueling with each other with two hands imitating villains, and singing beautiful songs, there are too many other ways to have fun. ”

"So you've always been playing with yourself, wouldn't you be lonely without friends?"

"The children are afraid of me, saying that I am an ominous person, so I have to be strong, so I don't want them to see me sad, my mother said when she left, the main thing in this life is to live well, nothing else matters. As she spoke, Shen Fangli stopped smiling and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

After listening to her narration, Tong Hui seemed to have an epiphany, so she took out three white cards with gems, swords, and roses in her pocket, and placed them in order from left to right.

From the perspective of hexagrams, the "shadow" symbolizes another self and represents the gem card, the "duel" symbolizes self-harm and represents the sword card, and the "song" symbolizes hope and represents the rose card.

Under the influence of the three words, the three cards of Gem, Longsword, and Rose became blue, green, and red respectively.

"Oh my God, how can this be?" Yan Yanfang looked at the changes on the card, and then looked at Shen Fangli, looking at a loss, "This hexagram is extraordinary, this is ......"

"The hexagram of absolute love, the legendary death hexagram. Tong Hui nodded and answered, feeling extremely heavy.

If you put the symbols of the three cards together, it will become: There is another me who symbolizes hope and is doing self-harm.

If this child learns the truth that he has a dual personality, he will definitely make a move against the sky to change his life and bring bad luck to the world. The so-called ominous person is not a rumor, but the conclusion that all kinds of visions are gathered together, I am afraid that Shen Fangli's birth is the beginning of the destruction of the island referred to by the nameless proverb.

The blue of love, the green of ignorance and the red of fate symbolize the three men who Shen Fangli loved her deeply in her life, but hope has been destroyed, and only despair remains, that is, the hexagram of absolute love, and all three men will die for her. Such a dangerous hexagram can only be understood and unspeakable, but Ling Hui couldn't expect that this girl would have such a bumpy life, and she couldn't help but regret divining for her, and even the hand holding the pen trembled.

"Hey, old man, what does the hexagram mean? I don't understand it at all. Shen Fangli pulled the corner of Linghui's clothes, but failed to break the flying tip of the pen in his hand, "There is a way to crack this hexagram, if your answer disagrees with me, I won't pay!"

"If you say it, you won't understand, so I won't take your money. Tong Hui stopped her pen and quickly checked it, "As a reward, I will trouble you to go to the Star Inn later, and help me pay the wine money owed by my apprentice." ”

"The key is that I need to see what you write before I can decide whether I want to help you or not. Shen Fangli snatched the freshly written notebook from Ling Hui's hand, and read:

Resentment of God's unkindness,

Disobedient to the creator of God,

Thou hast the love of fate.

Hate the world without a way,

Supporting the Righteous,

Thou shalt love of youth.

for their own benefit,

God-honoring preacher,

Thou shalt fall in love.

"How? Do you understand the meaning? Tong Hui applauded and said, "I didn't expect you to be young, but you know a lot of words."

"Even a low-level deceptive trick like yours can hide from my sister?"

The person who spoke was a tall young man, who looked somewhat similar to Shen Fangli, and he waved the rain and dew off his clothes and put his right hand on her shoulder.

"Fangli, do you believe this fortune teller?"

"Anyway, I don't understand, it doesn't matter if I believe it or not. Shen Fangli smiled happily.

Yan Yanfang recognized this person at a glance, and hurriedly whispered a few words to Tong Hui.

"Welcome to Shen Tong'an, the eldest son of the patriarch, do you want me to make a divination for you? ”

"No, what's the use of knowing that you can't change the future? The reason why you've fallen here is that you've never thought about grasping the present. Shen Tongan pointed at Tong Hui and showed a serious and bitter smile, "I want to tell you, something happened on West Street, it's black spots, and I don't expect you to help my father, as long as you don't make any more trouble." ”

After speaking, he took Shen Fangli's hand and left the place.

An old voice came from behind him: "Tell your father, I will definitely repay the kindness I owe him." ”
