Chapter 252: The Man in Cloth
The man in the coat sat sideways across from me, one hand on the table, so I couldn't see him.
The visitor was a guest, so I couldn't rush out, so I spoke first: "Sir, ask for a hexagram or look at the face?"
"Look at the face."
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had been choked with chicken feathers, and it sounded particularly awkward.
"Palmistry or facelift?"
"Physiognomy."
I was a little speechless, "Then you have to show your face."
"If you can't see it, you won't be able to count it?"
At first glance, this man is just looking for fault.
But when you think about it, it's not.
There are many methods of divination, in addition to the more common ones such as looking at the appearance and helping the beggar, there are also many unpopular methods.
For example, blind hexagrams.
The so-called blind hexagram is also called the "four non-hexagrams".
It refers to not asking the reason, not asking the eight characters, not asking the family, not asking the face.
If you want to calculate this hexagram, you can only rely on a lot of experience and good skills.
If I'm not mistaken, the person in front of me should be a peer.
Seeing that I was silent, the man tapped the table a few times: "If you can't figure it out, then say it directly."
His urging strengthened my judgment.
I took the holder in front of me and slammed it on the table, my eyes fixed on him.
"The first hexagram, I'll count you as having a horizontal sword!"
He picked up the sticker with one hand and snapped it upside down: "There are two hits!"
Really.
The horizontal knife refers to the peer grabbing the job, and he turned my tube upside down, which is called 'lifting Taishan", which clearly shows that he is here to find trouble.
Since ancient times, there have been many red rights and wrongs.
Uncle Ya has already broken out of my reputation for me, so naturally someone comes to the door to find trouble, which is not unusual.
If you come to the door to find trouble, I have no reason to be afraid!
Laughed a few times: "You paddle, I'll continue!"
He pulled up his shriveled throat, "Okay, then give me a calculation of life."
What a problem for me!
If I can't figure it out today, my little immortal's reputation will be completely ruined, and I won't have to mess around here in the future.
At this moment, a breeze blew, and a fishy smell instantly broke into my nostrils.
Looking at the lily coat on his body, I guess this man must have been dealing with water a lot.
"Stay away from the water, you can live longer."
He retorted in a calm voice, "So, I should be on the ground?"
I suddenly felt a little strange, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Tell me, then, will I survive this day on the ground?"
I couldn't help frowning, "That's Lord Hades!"
"Aren't you a little fairy?"
He suddenly laughed, took a bamboo stick in his hand, and slapped it on the table.
"Look, is that my age?"
As he lifted the stick, I looked at it and my heart jumped.
「99?」
Cold sweat flowed down my back, and the bamboo sticks for divination were all Chinese characters, and there would be no numbers at all!
The two of us were only a few feet before, and he was under my nose, and he was stunned to play with a hand of grafting!
He threw the stick in front of me, "So, I can live to be ninety-nine?"
I was stunned by him, and I really couldn't see the other party's path.
At this moment, bursts of laughter came from under the hat, at first only a low laugh, and after a moment it had become unbridled.
Before the laughter could stop, he got up and left.
In a few breaths, the man had faded out of my sight.
After he left, I picked up the bamboo stick again, only to find that the number had disappeared, leaving only a signature.
"Hesitant to go in and out for money, for fear of idleness and trouble; Like a bird flying into a net, how long can we meet."
This is the next sign!
The meaning of this sign is that the good and the bad follow the sky, not by yourself, if you ask everything, everything is worried.
This sign is like a fish in a net, and everything is unfavorable.
This means that I am like a fish caught in a net, seemingly swimming, but in fact I have been controlled!
The so-called life hangs by a thread, that's it!
Fishing nets are not scary, what is scary is, who is catching fish?
I just secretly raised my guard and didn't make a fuss.
Usually after noon, almost no one asks for divination, and in the afternoon, I am also idle.
In the evening, when the stall was closed, I counted the hexagrams I received during the day.
This check really scared me, there are two thousand yuan!
It's almost a month's worth of my salary at the funeral home!
In the past, my master had never told me that watching divination was so profitable!
Is it because people are too rich now, or is the money too easy to earn?
