Chapter 20: Wu Banxian
Chen Sanshi grinned and shouted, "That's right! Dun Ye, you really woke up the dreamer with a word! There is an old man known as Wu Banxian in Zhang Wanpu, and they all say that he is accurate in his fortune telling. ”
Chen Sanshi began to talk about the so-called Wu Banxian, and what he said was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
He said that Wu Banxian could calculate how many piglets the pregnant old sow would give birth, and even how many of them were boars; A few sows.
If the person who comes to ask for the hexagram is skeptical, he can not pay the hexagram first, and wait until the old sow gives birth to the calf and then come back to pay.
It is rumored that this Wu Banxian has not miscalculated, so he got the name of "Wu Banxian".
Don't look at the little dun and the fat dun, but there is not much alcohol.
When Chen Sanshi told the legendary experience of Wu Banxian, the dead fat man was already lying on the table and snoring, snoring like thunder, and his saliva was dripping all over the table, but he didn't know it.
Chen Sanshi was really in a hurry, so he dragged Suo Ba to find Wu Banxian overnight to calculate it.
Suo Ba couldn't screw him, so he had to accompany him.
Others are sick and go to the doctor, but he Chen Sanshi is looking for Xian'er when he loses money.
The gambler Chen Sanshi only wants to calculate how to win, and you must know that gambling is a crooked and evil way.
Even if it is a true immortal, it is estimated that he can only guarantee that he will lose, and will not be able to guarantee that he will win, not to mention that the person surnamed Wu is only a half-immortal body.
The tall people live in the humble room, Wolong is out of the thatched house, this Wu Banxian lives in a more shabby house, the humble room in the humble room, the thatched house is not counted, at most it is a thatched house.
When Suo Ba saw the impoverished appearance of the half-immortal, he secretly scolded Chen Sanshi for being a big mallet, and he actually found such a bad old man to be considered rich.
It seems that his family can't open the pot, if he really has that ability, he can calculate where he can pick up gold, and he will not get mixed with this poor and sour appearance.
The shack where Wu Banxian lived was crooked, and I was afraid that a small wind would blow it down.
The small one in the house even struggled to turn a thin boar, and the inside was as dirty and messy as a pickled place.
As soon as he entered the door, a chaotic smell came to his nose, and Chen Sanshi couldn't care about anything in his quest for money, but he almost didn't vomit Suo Bafu.
Wu Banxian is a skinny old man, and this old face is even more terrifying.
An old face that has not been washed for 800 years, bizarre folds, dry like a shriveled pecan.
The two eye sockets were deep-set, their squinted eyes were covered with eye droppings, two tear lines flowed from the corners of their eyes, and their mouths were toothless.
His body is a skeleton of bones and an old skin, and at first glance the whole person looks like a walking skeleton.
His linen clothes were covered with dense patches, and they were dirty as if they had never been washed, so the heavy sour smell emanated from his body made him choke his nose.
There was already a lack of sunlight in the shack, and two more people were crammed in, and the whole room looked extremely dim.
At this moment, there is not even the slightest sound, and it is terrifyingly quiet.
In the face of such a "dry corpse" old ghost, Suoba had the feeling of stepping into the Yama Palace, which made his back spine sweat straight out of the white hair.
Suo Ba glanced at Chen Sanshi, and this Sanshi's face turned green with fright.
He stood tremblingly in front of Wu Banxian, staring at the old face with both eyes, and he didn't dare to come out.
Wu Banxian's big eyelids opened slightly, glanced at the two in front of him, and then the big eyelids drooped again.
In a hoarse voice, he asked, "What are you two asking for when you come to the hut?" Is it seeking wealth? Or a marriage proposal? Or do you want a child? ”
Wu Banxian's mouth was straight out of his mouth, and some words were vague, but he could hear a rough idea.
Suoba thinks that this old guy has a hard time opening his eyes, maybe he won't be able to open them when he closes them, can he count six cakes?
Suo Ba was afraid that Wu Banxian would spray him with bad luck when he spoke, so Suo Ba stepped back.
Sanshi hurriedly replied: "Asking for wealth, asking for wealth, I am here to ask for wealth." ”
Chen Sanshi just wanted to finish the calculations quickly and leave here quickly, and if he stayed for a while, he could scare himself out of his anger, and begging for wealth would become begging for death.
Wu Banxian, a dead man, laboriously lifted his big eyelids and glanced at Chen Sanshi with dull eyes.
He pulled a long voice and asked, "Where do you want to make a fortune?" ”
"Treasure Bureau, I lost a lot of money in the Treasure Bureau, I want to get it back, and I ask the half-immortal to guide me."
As he spoke, Sanshi took out a few copper plates from his pocket, and then put them on the earthen kang where Wu Banxian was sitting.
He then said, "This is a hexagram, you take it." ”
After speaking, Sanshi pushed the copper plate in front of Wu Banxian, and Wu Banxian lifted his big eyelids and glanced at the copper plate.
Then he put down his big eyelids, apparently because he didn't have much money, so he kept silent.
Chen Sanshi said with an embarrassed face: "Old man, I have so much money left, and when I get the money back, I will definitely come back and thank you for your great kindness." ”
Wu Banxian saw that Sanshi's tone was quite sincere, and he nodded helplessly.
He said, "That's it! The old decay has never valued these worldly things, the lower realm is just for the benefit of the common people, and you sit down in the next life, and the old decay asks you, who is your surname? ”
Sanshi sat on the wooden bench opposite the half-immortal as instructed, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The deflated man said, "I ...... surnamed Chen, the doll of the poor family does not have a big name, and the third in the family, so they are all called me Sanshi. ”
Wu Banxian pursed his mouth and asked, "What are the two words for Sanshi?" ”
Chen Sanshi replied in a trembling voice: "One, two, three, three, the head of the stone." He realized that he had made a mistake and immediately corrected himself and said, "No, it's a stone of stones." ”
When Wu Banxian heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Ah! Ahh It turns out that this is the problem. ”
What's wrong with this old thing? Startled, Sanshi was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool.
Suoba stretched out his hand to hold Sanshi and pressed his shoulder, suggesting to him that with him Suoba, don't be afraid.
Wu Banxian stroked his felt beard and said, "Your surname is not conducive to making a fortune, and your name is also quite cumbersome." ”
"May I ask if Grandpa Half-Immortal has any solution?"
Hearing that the half-immortal wanted to tell the heavens, Chen Sanshi actually opened his mouth and called Wu half-immortal his grandfather.
Chen Sanshi, the third grandson, wiped the sweat from his forehead again, widened his mung bean eyes, and waited for the half-immortal to decompose the following.
Wu Banxian stretched out his hand and touched the turtle shell beside him, and put on a thoughtful look.
Since ancient times, the turtle has been called "Xuanwu", is one of the heavenly official beasts, Xuanwu is composed of turtles and snakes, located in the north, is a kind of incarnation of the ancients' worship of the stars.
It represents Kan in the gossip, the Han Dynasty, and was regarded as the "guardian god" by Taoism, and then produced the "Zhenwu Emperor", so the "turtle shell" divination has also been around for a long time.
In the earliest days of China, divination was called turtle divination, and the back carapace of the tortoise was round, and the belly carapace was square.
Since ancient times, it has been believed that the sky is round and the earth is round, and the turtle shell just fits this statement.
The tortoise also has the longest lifespan, so the ancients believed that it had spirituality, knew the past, and knew the future.
Legend has it that Dayu met a turtle when he controlled the water, there are numbers behind the turtle, and the numbers have a mantra: "Wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot." Later generations called its digital password "Vena".
Wu Banxian closed a pair of blind eyes and began to play tricks, and pinched a little with the other hand.
There are even more words in his mouth: "There is no positioning for the change of the heavenly stem, and the earthly branches are distributed on both sides ......"
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "Your name is very strange, Chen Tongshen also!" When it encounters water, it sinks, and water is wealth! Your surname is incompatible with that of the water. Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and those who capsize the boat will sink! Therefore, if you ask for wealth, you must change your surname, and your name is three stones, and three stones are piled up into a mountain! And your surname and name are yin, the yin qi is too heavy, and it is easy to attract poor ghosts, which is very unlucky! Imagine a lonely boat walking on the surging river, pressing the mountain of three huge stones, how can it not sink? This again falls on the word 'Chen' in your last name. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Banxian had a helpless expression on his face, and shook his head again and again and sighed.
Wu Banxian was so stunned that he almost confused Sanshi, but fortunately, Sanshi had studied in a private school for three and a half years and could still understand something.
Suo Ba muttered in a low voice: "The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth." ”
Wu Banxian was blind and deaf and didn't hear Suo Ba's words, so Sanshi stabbed Suo Ba in his hand, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Sanshi asked nervously: "Ask Grandpa Half Immortal for guidance, crack it!" ”
Wu Banxian narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and the paws of an old hand like a dry branch began to pinch again.
The mouth is chattering again: "Dry three times, Kun six breaks, Zhen Yang Yu, Gen covers the bowl, away from the void, Kan is full, the top is missing, Xun Xia is broken......"
He tossed for a moment before he said to Sanshi: "If you want to change your fortune, you only need to change your surname and name." ”
Chen Sanshi held the sweat in his palm, and asked urgently: "Grandpa Half-Immortal, do you mean that I can make a fortune by changing my name?" ”
Wu Banxian nodded: "Yes, but you can't change it." ”
He stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and then said, "You need to follow the old instructions to be effective, otherwise it will be a broken basket to get water." ”
Wu Banxian told Sanshi that after leaving his shack, he must not look around, let alone look back, and walked straight to the village.
The first person I saw when I returned to my village, whether men, women, or children, knelt down and kowtowed to confess my relatives.
When you meet a man, you call it your father, and when you meet a woman, you call your mother, and then you follow his surname, and the half-immortal also gave him a name called "Wangcai." ”
Chen Sanshi muttered to himself: "Wangcai ......"
Suo Ba whispered in Chen Sanshi's ear, "Isn't this the name of a dog?" Lao Chen, this old thing scolds you for being a dog. ”
Chen Sanshi said to Suo Ba in an expressionless whisper: "A dog is a dog, as long as you can win money, you can be a king." ”
When Suo Ba heard Lao Chen's words, he knew that he was hopeless, so he didn't say anything more.
Chen Sanshi received the guidance of a half-immortal, as if he had obtained a treasure, and he felt that he would be able to develop immediately.
couldn't help but be ecstatic, and hurriedly lay on the ground like a dog and kowtowed to the half-immortal six times.
Suo Ba and Chen Sanshi were weaker than the other, and they helped each other out of the burrow.
When I got outside, a light breeze came in my face, and the air was immediately clean and I was able to breathe very well.
Suo Bayi patted Chen Sanshi on the shoulder and said, "This old guy is scary enough, more disgusting than the ghosts I saw that night." ”
Chen Sanshi complained: "Phew! Bah! Bah! Don't talk nonsense, don't rush the immortals. ”
Chen Sanshi folded his hands and bowed to the sky, and said reverently: "Don't blame this guy for being honest, don't blame those who don't know, don't blame!" No wonder. ”
Suo Ba punched Sanshi in the chest and said contemptuously, "Don't want it? Chat with your half-immortal grandfather for a while, and you have learned to be gentle. ”
Sanshi is now bent on getting the money back, and he has no intention of breaking with Suo Ba.
He walked without looking at him, his eyes were stunned, and he looked like he had fallen into an evil spirit.
