It's about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is shining directly in the sky, which is the time of the day when the shadows are weakest. Hearing the words of the old fortune teller, I wondered in my heart: My shadow must be under my feet, where else can it be?

A single dog like me, who has lived for more than 20 years, stays with me all day long, except for Ah Niu, and only my shadow remains. However, I still looked down in the direction of the old man's finger, and when I saw that it was not tight, it was actually empty under my feet, which really fulfilled the old saying: there was not even a ghost shadow.

When I was a child, I listened to my grandmother's story: sometimes the bull head and horse noodles are too busy, and the dead people in the yang world forget to take their souls away, and the souls that stay in the yang world are attached to the corpse, as if they have slept for a while, and they don't know that they are dead, and they unconsciously suck the yang shou of the living people around them, adding to the time they live on the ground. But the shadow is transformed by the essence of the person, and the essence of the person will be dispersed as soon as he dies, and he can no longer become a shadow, so the easiest way to see if a person is alive is to see if the shadow is still there. In the past, when the village caught a person without a shadow, he tied it with a rope and put it under the sun, and put a bronze mirror in front of him, so that the person whose life was over, but who did not want to die, stared at his feet in the mirror, and took advantage of his bowing head to knock his ear with a big gong, and this person knew that he was dead, and he completely lost his breath.

It was precisely because I was frightened by this kind of story when I was a child, so I immediately panicked, and my legs trembled at that time, and I said to the fortune teller: "Old, old fairy, why is my shadow gone?" Didn't I just die in vain? ”

The old man had a wisp of his mustache again, and said to me: "Fortunately, your kid touched the old man and me, otherwise there would be few people in heaven and earth who could save you." The old man's tricks, is fifty years old when worshiping the Yuan Shi Tianzun, because of sincerity to be enlightened by the Tianzun, opened the yin and yang eyes, the left eye through the heavens, the right eye connected to the underworld, just when you passed by, the old way I right eye jumped for a while, and suddenly felt that there was something strange on your body, and then a closer look found that your kid's shadow was hooked by a ghost, and one foot has been on the Huangquan Road. “

I was so frightened by this statement that I almost knelt on the ground for the fortune teller, took out all the two thousand yuan I had just taken out of my pocket, and begged the old fairy to show me a way out. The old fortune teller frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and asked me, "Have you ever dreamed of anything strange at night?" ”

As soon as I heard it, where is this fortune teller, it is clearly a living immortal, and I hurriedly explained the strange dream that I had grown up since I was a child to the old fairy, and the old man shook his head for a while, and said to me: "I thought that your kid was half a foot on the Huangquan Road, but I didn't expect that you had already settled in the palace of Hades."

The reason why you dream every night is that the dead cat in the coffin is haunting, this evil animal attaches its soul to your shadow, and with your yang energy, you can borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul after you are sucked dry by him, get rid of the cat body, and cultivate a human form in this world. Just the cat was inspired to come to the old man's house and I was nearby, so I specially collected the shadow and hid, but I never thought that the magic was so high that it was not as good as the heart of the Dao, and I was still seen through by the old man. “

I listened to the cold in my heart, I have never been so afraid after living a lifetime, and begged the fortune teller to say: "Old fairy, can you still show your magic and pull me out of the palace of Hades?" It's a pity that I'm in my twenties, and I haven't been able to do a little filial piety to my parents, so I can't give the ghosts and ghosts their life span in such an unknown way, I'm really unwilling. “

Ah Niu listened to it next to him, and his front feet were still happily celebrating that the two brothers had found a rich and prosperous life together, and in the blink of an eye, the emotional little brother Wang was about to be separated from his yin and yang. Where can I bear it, I rushed forward and put my two hands on the shoulders of the fortune teller on both shoulders, shook it fiercely, and let the old man use his immortal skills to save his little brother Wang.

The fortune teller is half a hundred years old, how can he withstand Ah Niu's shaking like this, and the bones in his whole body are almost shaken apart. Struggled to break Ah Niu's hand, and said to us: "I think the two little brothers are destined people, otherwise it is impossible to stop the two little brothers, the money of the destined people is not collectible, but the poor road is also old, and the ghost gate is against the sky, it is inevitable to hurt the body, and a lot of drugs are needed to reconcile, so I am forced to accept the things outside the body, I hope that the two little brothers will not treat the old man as a person who has no virtue and collects money." “

I listened to Ah Niu, and I felt that this fortune teller was not only accurate, but also had a high character, which was really rare in my life. The old man accepted the money and asked Ah Niu and I to close our eyes, saying that the fairy law could not enter the six ears and could not pass on the four eyes, and it would not work if it was seen by mortals, so I was scared and Ah Niu hurriedly closed our eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, he only heard a low moan of the old man who was as anxious as the law, and after a while, he heard the fortune teller pant and say, "Open your eyes." ”

Ah Niu and I opened our eyes, only to see the sweat of the old fairy, holding a wisp of black animal hair in our hands, and then looked down at the ground, the shadow actually came back, although the color was surprisingly light, but after all, I could see that it was my own shadow.

I didn't expect this fortune teller to be so powerful, and it took less than half an hour to find my shadow. I only heard the fortune teller say: "The cat spirit in the shadow was shocked out by me with Yi Dao innate gossip, but your shadow has been inhabited by evil spirits for a long time, and now although it has been rescued, it is like a fire that has run out of oil and a lamp, and it may be extinguished at any time." There is a light in people's eyes, it is easy to see the shadow away, you go out of the alley and never look at your own shadow again, go back to the house and immediately close the curtain, do not turn on the light, if it is three days to fully recover. “

What is called professionalism, this is called professionalism. Not only did he give you a thorough cure, but he even gave an explanation of the follow-up steps, which is convincing, and the two thousand yuan spent is really worth it. At that time, he gave the fortune teller a nonsense boast, and Fuxi's reincarnation Zhuge possessed a basket of words as if he didn't need to pay for it; But he was worried that the shadow would be exposed to the sun for too long and would be gone, so he dragged Ah Niu and wanted to go home to recuperate quickly.

As a result, he didn't drag it two or three times, it turned out that Ah Niu felt that this fortune teller was not a mortal, and he wanted to ask for a name in life and death. Seeing Ah Niu's eagerness, he responded: "Lao Dao originally traveled all over the world, heaven and earth are home, but he was born with a chivalrous heart, where people go, where the reputation spreads, lest the reputation be too big to alarm the ghosts and gods, so in recent years, he has never been willing to reveal his name to the public, but look at the little brother, you are kind by nature, and it is fate to ask, if you are willing, call the old man Uncle Li." “

I was stunned when I heard the name, I felt that the name Uncle Li was very familiar, but I didn't remember where I had heard of this name. I heard Ah Niu ask: "Is it the Uncle Li who was the king of thieves?" I immediately remembered that the name of Uncle Li was not the old thief in the Chinese New Year movie "No Thieves in the World" a few years ago, and the sentence in the movie at that time: "Uncle Li is very angry, and the consequences are very serious" is really classic, so I have an impression until now.

Ah Niu obviously also remembers the character of Uncle Li vividly, when he heard the name Uncle Li, he immediately thought of the king of thieves in the world, but he was stupid, and he originally wanted to ask whether the word "Li" in Mr. Li's mouth and the word "Li" in the movie were the same word, but the language was not well organized for a while, and the meaning of the words asked was as far as eight mountains, and asked if the old man had ever been a king of thieves and stolen things.

Unexpectedly, when Uncle Li heard this, his expression changed suddenly, stared at the two of us for a long time, and said, "It's Li who is clumsy." I don't know if the two little brothers are here to seek revenge or plan to show their hands and shave someone's head so that they can make a name for themselves on the road? “

Ah Niu and I were stunned, I didn't expect this fairy wind bone, the fortune teller who knows yin and yang is really a thief, and suddenly felt a little abrupt, but then thought about it, after all, Uncle Li is also the one who pulled me out of the ghost gate, for me he is a life-saving benefactor, thinking about this kind of old rivers and lakes, all hiding their heads and tails; Once the identity is suddenly exposed, it must be a big offense. Saying that this is just a coincidence, Uncle Li will definitely not believe it, maybe he thought that we had something else to ask for, and used the innate eight-character hexagram to shock the cat spirit and stunned us and tortured us, so he wondered in his heart, how to make up this sentence.

I was afraid that Ah Niu would talk nonsense, so I dragged his arm and pulled him behind my back, thought about it, and simply followed Uncle Li's words: "Uncle Li, don't see the old man, both of us can't find a way to make money, the newly enlisted Xiao Sha family, the skills in the industry are too poor, and he was reprimanded by the master all day long, saying that he can mix Uncle Li who can call the wind and rain on the road, and he is worthy of the statue of the ancestor who burns incense every day and worships every day, and he is not in vain." So as soon as you reported your name, we immediately thought of the thief king in the master's mouth, but we didn't expect the ancestor to appear and really meet you Uncle Li. “

Uncle Li listened to us explain the reason, saw that we were clumsy and cowardly, but we really did not look like the masters of revenge, and when he heard that we were fledgling little shavers, he immediately felt cordial. The thief industry is no better than others, and there is no so-called peer is the wrong person, most of them are old thieves with a group of thieves, one is that there are many people to cover, and the other is to take care of them when they are old.

So when Uncle Li saw that the three of them were all in the same door, he didn't say a word, and directly took out the two thousand yuan in his pocket, patted my hand, and sighed: "Originally, I was really familiar with the two little brothers. The old thief has more than half a hundred of you, and it was fateful to meet you, and the two little brothers should have been taught the skills of carrying shells with both hands and touching the skin, so as not to insult my Uncle Li's reputation on the road.

It's a pity that the old thief put the kiln hall a few years ago, lost his heart and followed the people to fight upside down, and was cut off by the coffin of the king of Hades, although he was connected, his fingers could no longer exert his strength, and the hand of the oil pot probed the bottom, and the craftsmanship of the bricks in the wall can no longer be displayed. I hope that the two little brothers will not reveal the news of the thief to others, and it can be regarded as a good fate with the thief. “

I listened to the old man's pitiful words, thinking that even if we wanted to reveal it, we didn't know any thieves. I agreed as soon as I agreed, and I asked the old man: "It stands to reason that Uncle Li, you are proficient in Yi Dao, even if you lose your ability to eat and make a living, you will definitely be able to get a lot of money by using your skills to deduce good luck and evil, and find dragons and holes."

Uncle Li pointed to the sign behind the half-hexagram and said to me: "Little brother, you don't know, although this fortune teller and shaver worship an ancestral master, how can we be as proficient as the ancestor master, the old thief has been poor for half his life to become famous in a road, and then it is so easy to seek a fortune on the road of the Book of Changes." Relying on the luck of the green smoke on the grave of the ancestors, he was lucky enough to read a hexagram and a half hexagram, but he could only deduce the good and the bad, and he couldn't find a way to crack it. Which one of you comes to tell fortunes is not to ask you to show you the way, no matter how accurate the calculation of good luck and evil is, you can't figure out the way to crack it, it's really in vain. “
