Chapter 21: Fortune telling
With the support of Zhuan Rui, the next qiē progress was relatively smooth, I handed over the shop to the one-eyed dragon to take care of, purchased a series of equipment, and three days later, the group arrived in Baoxi Township, Guangxi. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and it took several buses to enter the village, and under the guidance of the locals, I rented a tricycle and staggered towards Shangyao Village.
Shangyao Village is a primitive Zhuang village, due to the inconvenient transportation, so the village still retains a lot of traditional customs, and you can see the stilted buildings built by the mountains when you enter the village. This place has a small population, there are fewer outsiders, and the ethnic minorities have always been enthusiastic, so as soon as they entered the village, some people took the initiative to ask about the intention, and we casually told a tourist lie to deceive the simple villagers, and received a warm reception, which made me feel very sorry.
Standing on the high ground of Shangyao Village, you can see the gable of the crater in the distance, and the clouds cover the mist. Guidi is mountainous, the climate is humid and sultry, the deep mountains and wild forests are full of miasma, poisonous insects are everywhere, and the local people have a kind of earthwork, which can be applied to the bare skin to avoid insects.
Zhuang people mostly speak Chinese, and at night, when the villagers chatted with us, they listened to Tofu and asked, "Why is your village called Shangyao Village?" ”
The fellow smiled and said, "Many of our Zhuang people believe in Taoism, and the ancestor of our village is a 'fairy family'. "In some places, the immortal family is an honorific title for Taoists. Tofu was surprised when he heard this; "Isn't a Taoist priest a monk? How can you be your ancestor? I said: "Xiaodou, you don't understand this, Taoism is divided into righteousness and truth, and there are sects under the two religions, and some can get married and have children, and enter the world." ”
The fellow said: "You are right, so the people in our place will more or less do some things that are easy to do." This place is deep in the mountains, the middle-aged yin and mist is filled, it is inevitable that the yin is too heavy, the one who is on the line, the first of the hexagrams, is the image of the yang, the ancestors named this place Shangyao Village, which has the meaning of promoting yang energy. ”
Our group was greatly surprised, but we didn't expect that the villagers in this place talked like magic sticks, and they really looked like they had two brushes. Tofu was interested, stretched out his hand and said, "Fellow, then can you help me look at palmistry and tell my fortune?" ”
The fellow had a handful of beard, and was very enthusiastic, so he stopped and said, "I'm not good at looking at the bones, but I can help you look at the eight characters, write me your birth year, month, day, and hour, and I'll help you see it." "After that, let the torturer with pigtails at home bring pen and paper.
When Tofu wrote down the year, month, day, and hour, I saw the fellow pinching his fingers and approved the eight-character year, month, day, and hour pillars, while reading, writing, writing, and writing, he sighed, and after a while, he said to Tofu: "The year pillar has been killed, your parents should have died a long time ago, right?" ”
I was shocked when I heard it, and my heart said no, I really said it right, it shouldn't be confused, right?
Immediately afterwards, I heard the fellow say again: "There are many dangers in life, fortunately there are nobles on the side, but ......" He groaned a little, shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, say good and not bad, be careful in everything." Tofu was stunned when he heard it, and he was a little anxious about his parents' affairs in the words of the fellow, and said: "I said, don't talk half and half, I won't die young, right?" ”
The name of the fellow is Jie'an, the Zhuang people have no language, these two words are transliterated, he knocked on the table, and said: "There are nobles on the side in the early stage, although it is dangerous, but it can turn evil into good fortune, as for the back...... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. Tofu suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and said: "Then who is my nobleman, you hurry up and tell me, I will always stick to him in the future." ”
The fellow thought for a while and reminded: "Whoever saves you the most times will be." Tofu thought about it, stared at me suddenly, and finally hugged my arm and didn't let go, saying: "I was wrong, I will never call you perverted in the future, and I will never speak ill of you behind your back, Brother Chen, Grandpa Chen, don't leave me, whether I will die young in the rest of my life depends on you." ”
I'm angry and funny, I've never believed in fortune telling, if people's lives are really predestined, then what is the sin of murderers? It's not that he wants to kill, it's fate that makes him kill, in that case, how can there be the eighteen layers of hell? Isn't that a contradiction?
As if seeing my doubts, the fellow smiled and said: "Human destiny is determined, but there is another saying, called people to win the sky, and approving fortune and fortune telling is the method that the ancestors have studied to penetrate the heavens. Tofu seemed to be convinced of Jie'an, and hurriedly pushed me out and said, "Fellow, show him again, this kid has been unlucky, what's going on?" ”
Tofu is actually quite discerning, and he wants to borrow me and take the opportunity to test the level of Jie'an. We were warmly received by the villagers, and at this time, we naturally couldn't say anything unbelieving to refute people's faces, so we wrote down our birthdays.
The fellow Jie'an also calculated for a long time, and then said: "This life is upright, there is a broken life, like a nestling bird becoming a phoenix, a scaly snake turning into a dragon, the person who has this life will be rich and noble in the future, but ......" Tofu was convinced of this, more anxious than me, and hurriedly asked: "But what?" ”
Jie'an glanced at me, suddenly shook his head, and said: "The front is brave, but the stamina is insufficient, and the moon pillar has a demon star on its side, which is easy to be killed by evil murderers." ”
Xiao Jing said nervously: "What do you mean by evil murderer?" ”
Tofu understood a little bit and said, "It's easy to be killed by some evil things." After speaking, he stared at Jie'an's gaze with a look of adoration. My heart was beating like a drum, and I said: I have always been a master in the people, and I can't imagine that there are such capable people in this poor mountain and remote place.
Not only did I calculate the image of my broken life, but even the evil murderer was mentioned.
Xiao Jing was shocked when she heard this, and immediately changed her name from her previous fellow to the master, saying, "Master, is there any way to crack it?" ”
Jie'an shook his head and said: "The image of the evil murderer, I can't do anything, but it's still the same sentence, people will win the sky, and it has always been said that good luck does not say fierce, that's what it means." If you have a hanging word in your name, it has the meaning of centering, which shows that the person who gave you the name is also a master. "Speaking of which, my name was given by my grandfather, and Feng Shui metaphysics has always been inseparable, and my grandfather must have shown me the eight characters back then, so I gave it a hanging word, which is similar to the origin of this Shangyao Village.
Thinking of this, I put my mind at ease, and I didn't take Jie'an's words to heart, Gu Wenmin didn't believe in numerology, and just stood aside and watched, while Zhen Rui stared at us thoughtfully and didn't make a sound.
At this moment, Xiao Jing suddenly said, "Master, you can help me take a look." “
Quan An readily agreed, there are few outsiders in their place, and almost everyone in the locals has such two hands, and there is no need for others to count at all, so there is no use for one skill. We automatically sent the eight figures, and he just happened to practice. Xiao Jing handed the eight characters to Jie'an, and I watched from the side, wanting to hear what else Jie'an could say, but I didn't know if it could be calculated accurately.
At this moment, I found that Jie'an's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had found something incredible, and then, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Jing, and asked, "You must have given the wrong eight characters." ”
Xiao Jing said: "How come, my parents have sued me like this since I was a child, and this is all on the ID card, yes, I think it's right...... Master, is there something wrong? Xiao Jing didn't believe in these things originally, but when she saw that Tofu and I were not far from ten, she suddenly became nervous.
Jie'an pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm mistaken, this life is very good, it's a lady's life, and I will marry a good husband in the future." When Xiao Jing heard this, she glanced at me and smiled happily, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what it meant. Seeing this, Jie'an looked at me thoughtfully, and said, "The bed is packed for you, so let's rest early." With that, he left.
The rest of the people may not have noticed, but I knew in my heart that although Jie'an was well hidden, I found that his hand was trembling slightly.
Jie'an was wearing a national costume with wide sleeves, and when his hand hung down, half of his hand was hidden in his sleeve, and the rest of the people didn't notice it, but I had always been vigilant, staring at his trembling fingers, and my heart sank.
Turning her head to look at Xiao Jing, she smiled very sweetly, Gu Wenmin on the side looked a little lonely, didn't say anything, and turned around and went back to the house to rest.
The bed was limited, and at night, I still slept with Tofu, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and said, "Let's go, let's go together." ”
I was puzzled and said, "Are you a girl?" ”
Tofu said: "Didn't you listen to the fortune teller? He told me not to leave the nobleman, or I would die. There is no toilet in this place, the dung pit is more than ten meters deep, you are not by my side, how dangerous it is to go to the toilet, I will definitely slip under my feet, and then drown in the dung pit. I admired the imagination of tofu and said: "The dung pit is also dignified, it is filled with stool, what are you doing if you have nothing to do." ”
Tofu heard that I was scolding him for a while, and said angrily: "You mean to say that I'm not as good as?" surnamed Chen, Grandpa Dou is not finished with you today, are you going? If you don't go, I'll sue Gu Da Meinu, saying that you and Xiao Jing are in the hospital. ”
"Wait." I wondered and said, "Xiao Jing and I are just kissing, but it's nothing, but how do you know?" ”
Tofu pursed his lips and said, "Come on, there is a string of lipstick marks on your neck, you don't know." "I almost choked to death with my own saliva when I heard this, and this kid didn't remind me at the time? Wouldn't I have been hanging around the antique city for a day with lipstick on my face? Suppressing the ** that wanted to strangle him, I could only get up and say, "Let's go......"
A moment later, Tofu was squatting at the manure pit and smoking, and I was smoking under a tree in the distance. In the middle of the night, the night wind was blowing, and I couldn't figure out why I was standing in this place when I should have been sleeping in bed at this time. The only explanation is: if you are careless in making friends, you will be hated for eternity if you make a mistake.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a hoarse voice behind him: "Who's there?" ”
