Grandpa saw that he had indeed been instructed by a master.

Grandpa also saw that he was indeed smart, but he was arrogant.

He took the initiative to show people face to face. Give people guidance, tell someone what to pay attention to in a certain year, tell someone that fortune is coming, and tell someone that marriage is just around the corner, don't be anxious. Even when others don't want to ask, he has nothing to do. Zhen is just scratching.

Grandpa told Xiaomi about these things. Xiaomi is also worried about her boldness.

One day, my grandfather happened to pass by the place where he was borrowing. He was fiddling with his peach wood sword and feng shui compass under the eaves, and when he saw his grandfather passing by in front of the house, he hurriedly put down the peach wood sword and feng shui compass and shouted, "Hey, may I ask if that is the old man who is praised by everyone?" ”

With the passage of time, more and more people in Thrush Village no longer call their grandfather "Ma Xiucai". And it is called "Ma Lao Xiucai". Grandpa slowly got used to it.

It was still snowing, but the goose feather snow in the morning had now become fragmented, as if heaven and earth were a huge house of cotton, and cotton wool was bounced everywhere. There were some snowflakes on Daddy's head, but they weren't noticeable because his hair was starting to turn white.

Daddy stopped, looked back at him, and nodded.

"Ah, it's you! I've heard that your calculations are incredibly accurate. Can you try it out with me? The young man was excited. Like an aggressive rooster.

As long as Grandpa is in Thrush Village, there are often people who come to Thrush Village to try all kinds of Xuanhuang techniques with Grandpa. Grandpa either ignored it, or reasoned that he wouldn't. If you have to deal with them one by one, Grandpa can't cope with it.

But this young man from Hong Kong is different, he is here to catch the spirit of millet. Although Daddy usually pretends not to care about him, he actually secretly pays attention to his every move. But Daddy couldn't show it. This young man is right, there are indeed similar monsters with great resentment here. Daddy can't refute it. But because the so-called monster is the spirit of Xiaomi, which Daddy wants to keep until the right time, Daddy can't turn a blind eye. Admit it, against yourself; Deny it, it's against conscience.

If he is an evil man. If he is bad everywhere, his father will expel him. But he is warm-hearted, believing that evil does not prevail over good, and it is not harmless to people's hearts, and his grandfather can't drive him away with a clear conscience.

So, Daddy had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Daddy was passing by and wondering what he would do if he greeted him. Do you ignore it, or respond enthusiastically?

"I know it's abrupt, but I do want to give it a try. Since I left Master, I have not met a master, or in other words, I have not met a master who is more powerful than my Master. Is it because there are mountains outside the mountains, but I haven't seen them yet, or are there no mountains outside? His words sounded modest, but his tone was haughty.

Daddy decided to promise him, so he smiled and said, "How do you compare?" ”

Grandpa went south and north. He is familiar with Mandarin and dialects, so even if his words are mixed with Mandarin and Cantonese, and the dialects he has learned recently are also mixed in, Grandpa can still understand and answer him in Cantonese.

He was taken aback when he heard his grandfather speak with a Cantonese accent. But he quickly calmed down, pointed to the ice pick hanging from the eaves, and said, "Count the ice pick!" ”

Daddy looked up at the eaves, and the snow melted on the roof, and as it dripped down the eaves, it was frozen into ice, forming ice picks like bamboo shoots growing upside down. The icicle has a long row, like the head of a spear before an expedition, like the open mouth of a monster.

"There are eleven icicles, just count them." Daddy said. Some of the ice picks are intact, some are dropped, and some are mutilated. There are eleven intact icicles.

He shook his head: "It's not about the number of icicles, it's about the time it falls." ”

"Oh?" Daddy frowned.

"Don't you dare?" There was a smug look on his face, thinking that his grandfather had retreated.

"It's not too difficult to predict when these eleven ice picks will fall, but it will take a long time for them all to fall. Will you stay here until they're all gone? Daddy asked.

He was stunned for a moment, looked up at the crystal-like icicles, thought for a moment, and said, "I really don't know how long I have to leave here." ”

Grandpa said: "Besides, these eleven ice picks are like eleven fates, although the fate is predetermined, but the luck is different, even if you and I can accurately calculate their respective lives, but the final result may not be exactly the same as we predicted, how can you and I compare?" ”

"Well, then, how about the two ice picks on the farthest side of each side?" He pointed to the thinnest-looking icicle at the very edge. It may be that the ice pick at the very edge is more windy, so it melts faster. The snow there is also the thinnest, and a few tiles have their own cyan hues exposed.

Grandpa looked at the outermost ice pick in the east, and then at the outermost ice pick in the west, and then nodded, "Okay." Then you do the math to see which icicle fell first. ”

He immediately turned around, picked up the compass, and walked to the east and then to the west.

Daddy asked, "Isn't your compass ineffective?" Can it still be used? ”

He smiled slyly and whispered: "Ma Lao Xiucai, I said that the compass was broken, but I was just deceiving those people." If I don't say so, will they believe me? Will you let me stay here and look for the monster? But my compass did sense the monster's presence. When I showed them the compass, I put under the compass an evil creature that I had caught before, so the compass pointer was out of order. ”

He is indeed smart.

"Oh......" Daddy frowned.

He put away the compass, returned to his grandfather, and said confidently: "I just measured, the ice pick in the east is slightly south, close to the hexagram, it is the fire position, and the ice pick is water, so it can't stand the fire." Also, when the wind blows from the east, the ice picks in the east will melt faster. Therefore, I predict that the ice picks in the east will fall first. ”

Grandpa nodded and said, "It seems that your feng shui compass is still a little useful." ”

"Of course," he said, "of course. Could it be that Ma Lao Xiucai can also guess...... Did the ice picks from the east fall first? He deliberately dragged the word "guess" very long, one is to remind his grandfather - not to be like him, and the other is to belittle his grandfather - guessing and pinching are completely different ways of predicting. Those who rely on guessing are naturally already at a disadvantage.

Grandpa smiled and said, "Since it's a competition, it must be different." I think it must have been the ice pick on the west side that fell first. ”

"You're gambling, aren't you?" He said disapprerovantly, "I chose the east side, so I just chose the west side and gambled on my luck?" He deliberately put the word "gambling" very seriously.

In forecasting, it's better to gamble than to guess. Guess at least there is a basis and judgment, but the result is not so certain. The gamble is completely abandoned and resigned to fate.

Grandpa knew that he was young and vigorous, so he was not angry, and smiled gently: "Who is right and wrong, we will know tomorrow morning." ”

"Tomorrow morning? Do you mean one of these two ice picks will fall tomorrow morning? He said suspiciously.

It's hard to predict which of the two ice picks will fall first. If you can predict when it will fall, it is a very, very accurate prediction. It's like when a person asks about marriage, and one predictor says, "You're married," and another predictor says, "You're going to meet your matchmaker tomorrow morning." Immediate opinion.

Grandpa thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." Tomorrow morning. ”

A twitch of a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay." See you tomorrow morning! ”

"Young people, don't be too competitive." Grandpa turned around and left.

According to the head of the family where Li Jiahao lived, after his father left, Li Jiahao stared at the ice picks under the eaves as if he was in a daze. He first looked up at the icicle under the eaves like a mud bodhisattva, motionless. The head of the household came out at night and saw Li Jiahao swaying in the wind like a loosened scarecrow, with a lot of snow falling on his head and shoulders. The householder called him into the house, and he shook the householder's hand away. Seeing that he insisted on doing so, the head of the household took out a chair from the house and placed it behind Li Jiahao.

The next day, the head of the household saw Li Jiahao sitting in a chair, his face pale and his eyes blood-red, still staring at the ice pick under the eaves.

The head of the household walked over and tried to persuade him to go back to the house and rest for a while.

As soon as the head of the household walked up to him, he grabbed him by the hand.

Li Jiahao's hands were shaking, and he asked the head of the household: "Look at the ice picks on both sides of the eaves, they are still intact, right?" ”

The head of the household looked at the east side, looked at the west side, and nodded, "It's all here." It's all there. What do you care about this ice pick? ”

"I thought I had a dazzle. It's good to be there. Li Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to be here? If you drop it, you will drop it! "The head of the household doesn't care.

"You've seen it fall before?" Li Jiahao became nervous again, and dragged the householder by hand and did not let go. "Will the east one fall first, or the west one will fall first?"

The head of the household looked at Li Jiahao, who was overly nervous, in confusion, and shook his head: "How do I know?" I haven't followed. It may be that the east side will fall first, or it may be the west side, who knows! ”

Li Jiahao shook his head violently and said, "No, no, this can be known." All things that are about to happen are foreseen and predictable, but whether you can see the omens or not, whether the prediction is accurate or not. ”

The head of the household violently broke free of Li Jiahao's hand and said indignantly: "I think you are crazy!" ”

"No, I'm not crazy! You don't know, it's related to my level of occultism, and it's related to whether my efforts over the years are worth it! If this is not as good as others, how can I promote righteousness and eliminate evil? Li Jiahao said solemnly.

"What does this ice pick have to do with it?" The head of the household was a little confused.

"Of course!" Li Jiahao glanced at the icicle with extremely tired eyes.
