Chapter 494: Divination
I opened my eyes and looked and found that Xue Qian and Mr. Lu were also sorting out their clothes in a daze. And the rest of the policemen have already gone back. All that's left here is the police car I just slept in.
The policeman handed the three of us a few boxed lunches, and said with a smile: "You three are now regular visitors to our police station." We'll have to look at whether or not to give you the status of a temporary worker so that you can get paid. ”
Xue Qian hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't do this." Did something happen to the three of us? ”
The policeman laughed: "How can it? You are capable masters, who will offend you? ”
I finished my lunch box and asked the policeman, "Last night, did you see the remnant immortals?" ”
The policeman nodded: "We all saw it, but only I knew who he was." Because my mother looked for the remnant immortal a while ago. ”
I muttered, "Really? What does the Remnant Immortal do? Is it a real fairy, or a liar? ”
The policeman laughed: "How can mortals like us see immortals." I think most of them are liars. Brother Zhao, if you follow me to take a look, you will understand everything. ”
A few of us finished eating. Get in a police car. began to circle around the streets and alleys of Huaicheng. After a while, the police led us into a small alley.
From the outside, this small alley looks like nothing, but when you walk in, you find that there is a house with a sign hanging on the door. There are no words on the signboard, only a gossip pattern.
I pointed to the signboard and asked, "The remnant immortal lives in it?" ”
The policeman nodded: "Theoretically, live inside." My mom used to be here, and I followed her over, as for what it was like inside. I didn't go. He pointed to the clothes on his body: "I'm a policeman, and it's easy to startle snakes when I go in." ”
I nodded and said, "I understand, you go back, the three of us can go and have a look." ”
The police said yes and drove the police car away.
The three of us walked under the signboard. Craned his neck and looked. The signboard is very new, and it is estimated that it has just been hung up.
The three of us walked into the courtyard. I found more than a dozen benches in the small courtyard. There were a lot of elderly people sitting on the stools. They were talking to each other nervously.
After we walked in, the old people said, "It's better to come early than to come by chance." There are still five minutes before the eye of heaven will open, and these young people have come at the right time. ”
I cautiously asked an aunt: "What is the Open Eye?" ”
My aunt looked at me and said, "I don't even know when I open my eyes? What are you doing here? ”
At this time, a little Taoist boy came out of the house. This child's lips are red and his teeth are white, as if he came out of a painting. He looked at the crowd. Then he took out a match and lit the two red lanterns at the door of the house.
At this time, the sun is slowly setting. Wait until the sun has completely set. Dao Tong said crisply: "The hour has come, please stand up." ”
Afterwards, the elderly people all stood up and lined up in a circle in the courtyard. Everyone's face was facing the doorway.
Then, an old voice said, "One hexagram a day." The choice is the edge, and the choice is also the edge. Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. This is the merit accumulated over several lifetimes, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it. ”
Everyone said, "Yes, yes, we know that." ”
Then, the curtain was lifted. Out of it came an old man.
This old man is a mediocre man, and he belongs to the people who cannot be seen when thrown into the pile. There is only a pair of eyes, which are bright.
I whispered to Mr. Lu, "Could it be that this one is a remnant immortal?" I see that his limbs are sound and not crippled. ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Maybe the place you can't see is incomplete?" ”
I grinned and said, "Do you still look like a Taoist priest?" ”
The remnant fairy stood at the door of the house, looked at it for a while, and then pointed to the aunt who was talking to me just now: "Come in with me." Then he turned and walked into the house.
The aunt muttered a desperate murmur in her throat. She muttered to herself, "How is it, how is it?" Then she sat down on the ground. Covering his face and crying.
That Dao Tong didn't urge, just looked at her coldly.
The rest of the old people, with a look of joy on their faces, did not leave, but looked at the aunt as if they were lively.
I grabbed someone and said strangely, "Why is she crying?" ”
The man said, "The remnant immortal decided to give her a hexagram, of course she is going to cry?" ”
I said suspiciously, "Aren't you here just for divination?" Now that I have got what I wanted, why did I cry? ”
The man looked at me strangely and said, "Do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know?" Haven't you heard of the rules of the remnant immortals? ”
I shook my head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
The man said, "Since you haven't heard of it, you shouldn't come here." ”
I laughed and said, "You sued me, haven't I heard of it?" ”
The man looked at me and said, "The remnant immortal is an immortal, so it goes without saying, right?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Wait, since you are an immortal, you must have sound limbs, how can you call it a remnant immortal?" ”
The man said, "That's not right." Tie Guan Li, is it sound limbs? After he said this, he said, "But the remnant immortal is an old man, and there is nothing wrong with his body. As for why he is called Remnant Immortal, there is a story here. ”
He said: "The remnant immortal was originally an immortal in the sky, and when he was chanting and cultivating, his heart suddenly moved, so he fell to the earth, and he wanted to stay in the earthly world for a lifetime to cultivate his mind. One day in heaven and one year on earth. After the remnant immortal has finished his training in this life, the heavenly chanting may not be over, and his mind has been honed to the fullest, and he can continue to cultivate. ”
I looked at him dumbfounded: "Do you believe this story?" What did the remnant immortal say himself? ”
The man said, "That's what everybody says." You can't believe it. Then he pointed to his eyes: "After the remnant immortal arrived in the mortal world, the supernatural power was gone, and the incorruptible body of King Kong was gone. Became a mortal fetus. His arms and legs are the same as those of you and me, but these eyes have been saved. ”
The man said, "The eye of the remnant immortal is the eye of heaven brought down from the immortal realm. Therefore, it is called a remnant immortal, which means that there is only one pair of eyes left. ”
Xue Qian couldn't help but say beside her: "It's really cruel." ”
I asked again, "But what is this aunt crying about?" ”
The man explained, "Because the remnant immortal has a rule. Fortune-telling for people, counting death is not life. As long as you live, you have a chance to turn over, and he doesn't want to interfere. But if you're going to die, then there's no more chance, it's a poor person, so the remnant immortal called you in. Tell you the time of your death, so that you may have time to prepare. ”
I nodded and said, "No wonder, no wonder my aunt is crying so sadly, it turns out that she is going to die." I looked at the man and said, "You all came here to invite the remnant immortal to see, is it the number of years old?" ”
The man nodded: "Those of us who are either in poor health or terminally ill, let the remnant immortal take a look, if selected, there will be no waste of medical expenses, if not selected, hehe, then we will rest assured." ”
I nodded and asked, "But why do you want to go to the newspaper office to publish an obituary?" ”
The man said suspiciously, "Obituary? What obituary, how did I not know? ”
At this time, Dao Tong said: "Don't delay the hour, go and divide." ”
When the aunt heard this, she stopped crying, got up from the ground, and walked into the house in a daze.
After the aunt entered the house, Daotong said to everyone: "I hope that everyone will have a good relationship and tell the people closest to him about the supernatural powers of the half-immortals." "Baidu sister-in-law|Empty house
Everyone nodded in agreement: "This nature, this nature." ”
Then the crowd began to walk slowly outside.
I wanted to stay in the courtyard and watch the excitement for a while, but the Taoist boy had already come over and closed the gate. A few of us had no choice but to leave here.
We stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the street lights that had just come on.
I asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Mr. Lu pondered for a while and said, "Only one hexagram is taken every day, and this half-immortal practice is quite ancient. After all, people's energy is limited, and if they don't refuse to come, divination for one hundred and eighty guests every day, even if they are high-attained, they can't bear it. Most of them are liars. ”
Xue Qian said: "You mean, this person is not a liar? ”
