Chapter 43 Value
Shrine maiden, this is a regular profession, and the status is quite noble, even the Son of Heaven has to consult the witch when he is undecided. However, there is no limit to the profession of fortune telling, Yun Yao remembered that when the master taught her a lesson, she taught her a lot of fortune-telling professions to help the princes, and it was calculated by different people on different occasions, which was very meticulous. The inner court belongs to the inner court, the sacrifice belongs to the sacrifice, the funeral belongs to the funeral, the war belongs to the war, of course, the specific classification is not only that, there are also genders, specifically for men, and also for women, the advantage of this is that no one can monopolize the interpretation of the mandate of heaven, there are more fortune tellers, there is no monopoly, and Zhou will not repeat the mistakes of business.
Nowadays, divination is not as fanatical as the Yin Shang era, but resignation to fate has not withdrawn from the life of the Zhou people, and there are still many Zhou people who like divination and love divination.
What's more, Zhang Nu was originally a native of the Song Dynasty, a remnant of Yin Shang, and had just experienced a tragedy, and at this time she must be extremely insecure, and she urgently needed divination to comfort her unsettled inner world.
It's just that Yun Yao didn't expect that this strange woman who seemed to be a mother and daughter turned out to be a witch.
"Who are these two?"
"The shrine maidens of Zhu Yushu, the old ones are pan women, and the young ones are pool women, and they are a pair of very good witch mother and daughter. Thanks to them, I was able to avenge my brother, just like their divination, and all the rebellious sects were killed. "If it weren't for their divination, I don't know if I would have been able to make it this far." It can be seen that Zhang Nu is very dependent on these two witches.
Yun Yao thought to himself that he was mistaken, didn't the master have already analyzed it at that time, saying that Xiao Zong would definitely not die well if he tried the law, how did it become the result of their divination? As long as anyone who understands Zhou etiquette knows that Xiaozong's rebellious behavior cannot succeed, why is it now the credit of the witch? Is this Zhang Nu's brain broken?
Although he thought so in his heart, Yun Yao had a teachable expression on the surface: "Then there are two Lao divination, I don't know what I need to prepare?" ”
"No, Zhu Youshu is the art of observing the sky, and you don't need to borrow any external force to investigate your fate." The white-haired old woman said proudly, looking confident, wearing a dogskin vest decorated with bright feathers on her shoulders and leather sandals popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty on her feet.
There is no need for foreign objects, just a bronze stove with a large head and delicately carved with two rhino horns, put in firewood and herbs, and smoke white smoke. The mother and daughter faced each other, their palms against each other, raised, muttered to themselves through the white smoke, and began to perform.
Zhang Nu is very serious, but Yun Yao is undeniable, although there are immortals, she doesn't believe in fortune-telling at all. No matter how strong the gods are, they haven't calculated that they will be on the god list, and mortals still want to calculate the destiny of heaven, and they are not afraid of the wind and flashed their tongues.
But just when Yun Yao was about to watch the jokes of the two witches, colors appeared in the white smoke, vaguely like a scene. Right in front of Yun Yao's eyes, it was even more magical than magic. This magical change couldn't help but make Yun Yao straighten up, secretly wondering if they really had a magic spell to reach the sky?
The fragrance wafted out, and the whole tent was filled with a strange atmosphere, in June, the temperature was already quite hot, and there was a stove in the tent, and there were many people, although there was a refrigerator but it didn't help, the temperature was only high and not low, and it could be found that a lot of water droplets were dripping on the ground outside the bronze refrigerator.
A mysterious and strange aura lingered around everyone, Yun Yao couldn't help frowning, and looked at the palace blurred in the white smoke.
Zhang Nu is more serious than Yun Yao, because she only feels that this is the fate that is closely related to her. Yun Yao only wants to see the flaws, one is to believe unconditionally, and the other is to pick thorns.
The picture seems to be an abandoned ruin, and there are blurry figures as if they are looking for something from the ruins. But the white smoke flutters, the picture is shaky and blurry, and the colors are very light, so I can't see a reason clearly.
I guess I'll have to let the shrine maiden explain it later, after all, this is the meaning of divination.
Just when Yun Yao's eyes widened to find the mechanism, the picture in the white smoke suddenly changed, from the treasure hunting scene to a big snake with a big mouth open in a blood basin, this picture was very clear, the big snake almost rushed out of the smoke. As the impactful image of the serpent rushing out flashed, the white smoke disappeared completely, and everything returned to calm.
The last big snake startled everyone, and Zhang Nu broke out in a cold sweat in June: "Two witches, what is the solution?" ”
The two shrine maidens were also shocked, and they were quickly exchanging glances, and there was confusion in their eyes.
"Pan woman, pool woman?" Zhang Nu couldn't wait, I don't know why the two witches didn't speak as freely as before.
In the end, it was the old witch who saluted and said: "I'm afraid this is related to the snake, Zhu Nu has a number of qi, but she was cut off by the snake, which means that she has a catastrophe related to the snake." If you can survive it, you will naturally be able to obtain a heavy treasure, and if you fail, you will be like this wisp of smoke and dust, that is, you will die. ”
Yun Yao thought that this was the same as fortune tellers, they like to talk about things very seriously, and when they ask how to resolve it, they will give them the answer, which is nothing more than buying their magic weapons and giving them property. Du Niang was not in a hurry, so she didn't ask, and saw what they could do.
"Zhu Nu is my savior, I can't watch her suffer a catastrophe. Shrine maiden, how is this good? Zhang Nu was anxious for Yun Yao, and seeing that Yun Yao was silent, she said: "You don't have to be afraid, the witch must have a way to crack it." ”
The shrine maiden groaned, as if she really had a problem, and she was very embarrassed. If this is acting, it's really a must, no wonder it can deceive people.
Although he also saw the scene in the white smoke, Yun Yao still didn't believe that this represented his own calamity: "I am guarding the north bank of the Zhu River day and night, how can there be demons and monsters coming here to trouble me?" The sky is blue and the sun is white, the righteousness lasts forever, the line is done right, the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and the ghost is not afraid of the ghost calling the door if he doesn't do bad things...... "Yun Yao is an old atheist as soon as she opens her mouth, although she has seen gods, she has seen loose cultivation, and she has seen water ghosts, her own teacher is still a mountain god, but she still doesn't believe in the calamity that the witch said.
"Don't say that, you also saw the big snake, how terrible the last snake is, can't you still believe it?" Zhang Nu felt incredible, such obvious evidence, seeing is believing, how could Zhu Nu not believe it? Could it be that she can't figure it out?
"I saw only one ruin, a big snake, and I didn't see any doom. The calamity was said by the two of them, and it's uncertain whether it's accurate or not. ”
"Absolutely."
Pan Nu was very angry when she heard Yun Yao doubt her business ability, because no one had ever dared to doubt her explanation so much, she was authoritative: "It seems that this boat man doesn't believe in our divination, so there is no need to say more, when the calamity comes, just bear it directly, it is nothing more than death." There was a hint of threat in the words.
"Don't be angry, just give me face, Zhu Nu is my life-saving benefactor after all, and please cast a spell on my face to save her life." Zhang Nu said anxiously, it seems that she is really grateful for Yun Yao's life-saving grace. It was also an impulse to jump into the river at the beginning, and then she found out that she didn't really want to die, so Yun Yao can be described as a reborn parent to her, how can she not worry?
"Okay, let me deter that dangerous snake, so that I can keep Zhu Nu safe." Pan Nu said without embarrassment: "It's just that this kind of spell must have cost a lot, and Zhang Nu needs to prepare properly to save her life." ”
When Yun Yao heard this, the secret routine really came, and she didn't know how much her life was worth in the witch's heart.
