Chapter 33: The Third Ghost Story

"I think you'd better forget it! I don't know why, but don't forget, what happened when the in that story met with the out-of-body Genshin. It's good that it doesn't work, but if it does, we're probably in a worse position. ”

Although Tang Tiezui said this, after finishing speaking, he still turned his head to Bai Hewu, obviously wanting to ask him to make the final decision.

"It's a risky idea, but it's better than nothing!" Fat Sea Road.

"Hehe, in fact, I have a good way to avoid risks."

"What's the solution?" Lan Liu and the others asked together.

"Fortune telling."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them turned their heads to the White Crane Dance. Bai Hewu was born in a Xuanmen family, and it is difficult to think of things such as Kanyu, looks, and fortune-telling.

When Bai Hewu heard this, he didn't say anything, but said quietly: "I'll tell you a story too!" ”

This story takes place not far from us in the Republic of China. The protagonist of the story is called Liu Shaoyou. Liu Shaoyou was born in a scholar family, and his family has been an official for generations since the Qing Dynasty, and although he doesn't have to read the Four Books and Five Classics in his generation, his parents still taught him the one in officialdom since he was a child, hoping that he can become an official in the future. But Liu Shaoyou has no interest in these. His only interest was divination. At first, his parents reprimanded him for being a plaything, but Liu Shaoyou has never missed what he has done since he learned divination. As Liu Shaoyou's fame grew, more and more people came to him for divination, and Bu Jin became more and more important, and he accumulated a large family business at a young age.

Later, dignitaries and dignitaries from all over the country also came to him to ask for divination, and the forces of various factions were also courteous to him. In the end, he married the daughter of a high-ranking official. Although Liu Shaoyou is not an official, no one can compare with him in terms of family capital, talent, or social status. More importantly, in troubled times, there are such skills, which are really better than gold and silver mountains and high-ranking officials.

Liu Shaoyou's life was very comfortable and rich. Until one day, his father, who had always been healthy, died suddenly, and after arranging his father's funeral, Liu Shaoyou immediately took out the divination tool to divinate his lifespan. But this divination was unexpected; The hexagram does not show any divination results. This incident cast a shadow on Liu Shaoyou's life. From then on, the first thing Liu Shaoyou did when he got up every morning was to put incense on the ancestor of Guigu, and then divinate his lifespan. It has been uninterrupted for several years.

Until one morning he got up and used incense to divinate as usual, but there was still no result. At this time, it was raining heavily, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and Liu Shaoyou also planned to close the door. At that time, there was an orphan whose name was unknown. He has been working in the Liu family since he was a child, Liu Shaoyou is very kind, since the child arrived at his house, the child's food and clothing are taken care of, the child has a headache and brain fever, he is also extra worried, and he also teaches him to read and write when he has free time. Liu Shaoyou even taught him a considerable part of the art of divination. The child is very smart, although he took over all of Liu Shaoyou's teachings, but because he did not have a formal apprenticeship, he can only be regarded as half an apprentice.

That year, the child was only a teenager. He was the one who went to close the door at that time. But just as he was about to close the door, a man wearing a hat came, and the man's hat was so large that he bowed his head slightly, and no one saw his appearance. The kid who opened the door led him directly into the living room and left in a panic. There are only two guests and hosts in the living room. After the man took off the hat, Liu Shaoyou felt that this man was quite familiar, but there were many regular customers who came to him for divination, so he naturally put the identity of the other party in the column of regular customers.

After the guest and host sat down, Liu Shaoyou asked the other party what he wanted to divination. The man replied that he wanted to ask how long he lived. After Liu Shaoyou finished divination, he came up with a big murderous hexagram. He told the truth: "Mr. Shou could have been on the stage, but I don't know what you have done so that your life expectancy may only end at tonight." "Liu Shaoyou's hexagram has never been wrong, in the past, if Bu Ke came up with this kind of extremely fierce hexagram, he would often cry his father and beg his mother to beg Liu Shaoyou to point out a way to crack it. But after hearing this result, the man in front of him was unusually calm and said: "Since you have suffered this catastrophe, you must have done something against the sky, and you don't dare to force me to increase my life, so I will leave and never return here." Can you just disturb a cup of tea before leaving? ”

Liu Shaoyou was a little surprised when he heard the other party's statement that he would never come here again, but the other party said that he didn't have time to think about this sentence carefully when he said a cup of tea, and immediately called an old mother who had followed his family for many years to go to tea, since Liu Shaoyou remembered, the old mother has been working in the Liu family for a long time, and she is very safe, she has watched Liu Shaoyou grow up, and Liu Shaoyou has always treated her as an elder, and the relationship between the two is also very good. Unexpectedly, after the old woman entered the house with the tea tray, when she saw the diviner, she screamed like a ghost and fainted to the ground. Seeing this scene, Bu Ke immediately got up and said, "Since there is a sudden change in your mansion, don't bother, don't bother." After speaking, without waiting for Liu Shaoyou to return the salute, he put on a hat and left in a hurry.

When Liu Shaoyou saw someone fainting, he immediately called the housekeeper to carry the old mother to the bed, poured ginger syrup, and tossed for a long time before the old mother woke up. Liu Shaoyou saw the old mother wake up and immediately stepped forward to ask the reason. The old mother hesitated for a long time before telling the truth: "Master! The one who asked you just now is none other than yourself! That person looks exactly like you, it's literally carved out of a mold. Even the little birthmark on your ear is exactly the same. ”

As soon as Liu Shaoyou heard this, he immediately understood that this was a hexagram for himself, and this hexagram actually counted himself dead. At this time, Liu Shaoyou began to explain the future, in fact, everything in his family is in order and there is no need to make more arrangements, but his wife is pregnant and about to give birth, but he has no chance to see his child, it should be said that this is a great regret. The second is that he wants to explain his craft clearly, and only half of his apprentices can take his mantle. At this thought, he wanted to call the half of the apprentice to make a final explanation, but he couldn't find him in every corner of the house. Finally, I learned from an old man that after the cloth went out, the child followed.

After hearing this, Liu Shaoyou immediately went out to look for it in person, but as soon as he went out, he found a person lying more than ten feet away from the door. Liu Shaoyou stepped forward and found that it was half of his apprentice lying on the ground. And the child's face was black, and he clung to a hat and a coat in his hands. It turned out that he discovered his identity as soon as the clothed guest entered the door, and tried to save his life by following him out when he went out, in a vain attempt to keep his benefactor's doppelganger. Who knew that the destiny of heaven could not be violated, and in the end, he only grabbed the robe and hat. Later, Liu Shaoyou put on the cloak and hat on his body, and used the remaining soul breath on it to delay his life span for seven days, and when he saw his child, he fulfilled his last wish, and then he died. And Liu Shaoyou's half of the apprentice because he saw something that shouldn't be seen, and then tried to go against the destiny of heaven, and finally was punished by God, and soon after, his eyesight began to deteriorate, and no matter how he checked it, he couldn't find anything wrong, and later became blind.
