June 4th, summer, sunny.

Zhang Yuguan was disturbed by a noise outside the house, and just wanted to lose his temper, but after thinking about it, he sat up again.

"It's so lively, could it be that Chang An is back?"

He hurriedly put on his robe and walked out of the house.

But he saw that the scorching sun was shining in front of his door, and he couldn't open his eyes.

But strange and familiar words echoed faintly in his ears.

"Where did you come from, you dare to tease my young lady in the middle of the night, come here, tie me up and send me to the official."

A shrill voice appeared, as if it were a man mimicking the girl's voice.

Then, a young man's voice appeared.

"Oh, didn't you admit your mistake, aren't these two women the ghosts who touch the wall?"

Immediately, the man hurriedly said again

"Don't be angry, and listen to Xiaosheng's explanation."

But before the young man could finish speaking, Zhang Yuguan heard a sound of tapping, accompanied by the man's onomatopoeia.

"Lady, listen to Xiaosheng's explanation."

When Zhang Yuguan heard this, he reacted completely, and he was shocked

"Puppet show!"

The scorching sun scorched his eyes, and he ran to the shade of the tree next to the house and slowly opened his eyes.

I saw a man manipulating three lifelike puppets, and his mouth kept making sounds, and the three puppets scuffled together, causing the surrounding onlookers to cheer.

Zhang Yuguan frowned, staring carefully at the man who was playing a puppet show, but saw that the man was burly, with a Chinese face, and a cloth dress.

Not far away, Old Man Lin, who was stuck in the pile of children, came over and patted him on the shoulder

"This is the puppet master in the city, Mr. Lu, who came here to perform a puppet show for the children."

Zhang Yuguan's face was gloomy, he just saw that strange thing yesterday, why did a so-called puppet master come today?

"How could this Mr. Lu go to the countryside."

Old man Lin explained

"When I talked to the children about this puppet show yesterday, I suddenly remembered this Mr. Lu from the city, so I asked him to play a play for the children."

Zhang Yuguan was still very wary of Mr. Nalu, and said

"Then how could he be willing to come?"

Old man Lin said mysteriously

"You don't know this, although Xiaocui usually ponders this puppet show by herself, but when she was a child, she was enlightened by this Mr. Lu before entering the industry, and he and Xiaocui also have some friendship, yesterday I asked someone to carry a letter to the city, and he readily agreed."

Zhang Yuguan nodded slowly, but suddenly, the blood doll he dreamed of last night suddenly appeared in his mind!

He had a headache and squatted on the ground in pain, Old Man Lin didn't know why he was like this, and said hurriedly

"What's wrong with you!"

The abnormality on this side alarmed Mr. Lu and the children on the other side, and Mr. Lu walked over slowly

"What's wrong with this Dao Chief, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Yuguan slowly raised his head to look at him, but this time he didn't care, his head was violently dizzy again, and another picture appeared in his mind.

"Xiao Cui!"

He roared in pain, and in his mind, Xiao Cui was actually killed by someone through the heart with a sword, and her desperate eyes seemed to be enveloped by boundless gloom over Zhang Yuguan.

How could such a strange picture suddenly appear?

Zhang Yuguan had a splitting headache and was already sweating profusely, and he tried to reach out and signal them not to come near him.

After a long time, the headache gradually subsided, and he gasped a few times and slowly stood up

"Thank you for your concern, it should be the same old problem again."

As he spoke, he raised his head, but at this moment his gaze just collided with Mr. Nalu's sight, he was slightly startled, but saw that Mr. Lu's eyes were clear, and they all said that human eyes are the windows of the soul, and people with such clear eyes will not be bad people no matter what.

But when Zhang Yuguan looked at him, he was faintly uneasy, why did he have a headache when he saw him, and such a picture appeared in his mind? Why does his puppet show feel so familiar to him, this is the most puppet show that Xiao Cui has ever performed before, although this story is widely circulated, this Mr. Lu will not be surprised, but the strange thing is that why Mr. Lu's performance actually has a faint feeling that he is watching Xiao Cui's performance? And why, in this Mr. Lu's body, he clearly felt a trace of evil?

The man who suddenly appeared in front of him suddenly made a series of question marks appear in his mind.

"Mr. Lu, your puppet is really meticulous."

Zhang Yuguan suddenly walked over and picked up a puppet, but saw that the puppet was carved in great detail, and it was much better than what Xiao Cui made, and he thought that he was worthy of a generation of masters.

Mr. Nalu smiled at Zhang Yuguan and said

"It's nothing, we do puppet shows, and at first we actually started to enter this industry because we liked these delicately carved villains."

Zhang Yuguan nodded and asked again

"Mr. Lu, this puppet is so exquisite, I like it very much, I wonder if I can buy one as a souvenir."

There was a slight change on Mr. Lu's face, but neither Zhang Yuguan nor Old Man Lin noticed it.

"The Taoist chief likes it, so I'll send the Taoist chief one."

Mr. Lu said.

Zhang Yuguan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile

"Then thank you Dao Chang, he casually picked a puppet with the appearance of a young man, and said, this is the Liu Guanren mentioned in the play, right?"

Mr. Lu said with a hint of surprise in his eyes

"Lu thought that the Taoist just liked puppets, and it seems that he doesn't watch puppet shows less on weekdays."

Zhang Yuguan said with a smile

"Xiaocui is my friend, so I have naturally heard all these dramas."

Mr. Lu sighed

"It's a pity that such a good child as Xiaocui suffered this misfortune."

Zhang Yuguan was also silent, and then said again

"Then I'll want this Liu Guanren."

Mr. Lu said with a smile

"Daoist, please."

Zhang Yuguan took the puppet into his arms and said to Mr. Nalu

"I'm not good at taking Mr. Lu's things for nothing, or I'll give Mr. Lu a hexagram in return?"

The old man Lin beside him echoed

"Ah yes, although this fat man is lazy on weekdays, he can calculate the hexagram accurately, that is, he calculates the hexagram, and there are few good words."

Zhang Yuguan glanced at him and scolded with a smile

"Smash my sign."

Mr. Naru was also refreshed, so he said

"Coincidentally, there is indeed something I want to measure, please ask the Taoist chief to test for me, what is the good luck and evil of what I want to do?"

Zhang Yuguan said with a smile

"Dare to ask what Mr. wants to measure?"

Mr. Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly

"The most important thing in life is extremely important."

Zhang Yuguan was stunned for a moment, looking at Mr. Lu's eyes becoming more and more uneasy, with his hands behind his back, but he saw his right hand pinching the Taoist trick and secretly deducing it, but he found nothing, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he said

"Even if it's such a big thing, you have to use a big hexagram, so, wait for me to burn incense and bathe, and use the grass method to deduce for Mr."

Mr. Lu saluted respectfully to Zhang Yuguan

"Thank you so much."

saw Zhang Yuguan say to some children

"Go and find me fifty yarrows."

Said to Old Man Lin again

"Get me a bucket of hot water, and I'm going to burn incense and bathe."

The children rushed away, and Zhang Yuguan slowly walked back to the house.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yuguan finished burning incense and bathing, and at this moment, the children had obtained fifty yarrows and had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Squeak"

Zhang Yuguan pushed the door out and walked the yarrow from the children's hands.

"Come in."

Then, everyone walked into Zhang Yuguan's house one after another.

But I saw Zhang Yuguan's expression at this moment, his face was holy, he was holding the fifty yarrow in his hand, and his mouth was full of words

"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty, the end is the starting point, fifty is back to zero, and the number of forty-nine has been fully utilized!"

Immediately, he took one of the fifty yarrows at random and discarded it.

"Forty-nine numbers have been put to good use, and you will be the one who has escaped."

"And one becomes four battalions, divided into two, hanging one, and four, and returning to the strange."

"The first battalion is divided into two and is like two."

I saw Zhang Yuguan holding forty-nine yarrow in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, and then dividing the forty-nine yarrow into two clusters on the table at will.

"The second battalion, hang one like three."

Then, he took a yarrow from a tuft on the left and sandwiched it between four or five fingers.

"The third battalion, four elephants and four seasons"

He divided two tufts of yarrow into an array in a group of four.

"The fourth battalion is strange to be like a leap, and then leap at the age of five, so it is hung up again."

At this time, there are a few remaining yarrows on the left and right clusters that cannot be formed in groups of four, and all the scattered yarrow is sandwiched between three or four fingers.

"This is the first change, and the third is the first change."

At this moment, he grabbed the remaining yarrow on the table again in his hand, repeated the previous process, completed the second change, and after the second change, the remaining yarrow on the table made the third change again.

At this time, he breathed a long sigh of relief

"Eighteen becomes one hexagram."

He nested the forty-nine yarrow in his hand again and began the same steps as before, noting down a number every three times, until the end of the eighteen changes, he had memorized a total of six numbers.

Until this time, after the deduction of the number of Dayan was completed, Zhang Yuguan slowly wiped the sweat beads on his head, looked at the six numbers, and secretly calculated in his heart, after a long time, his complexion changed

"Hexagram."

He looked at Mr. Lu with an ugly face

"Mr. Lu, for what you have to do, this is a hexagram, and the future is uncertain and difficult."

Mr. Lu's face tightened, and then he let go again, and he saluted Zhang Yuguan again

"Anyway, thank you very much."

Old man Lin laughed and slapped Zhang Yuguan's head violently, Zhang Yuguan was exhausted when he calculated the number of Dayan, and when he hit him, his whole body suddenly wilted

"What are you doing?"

Old man Lin looked at Mr. Lu and said

"I'll just say that this kid doesn't have a few good words in his mouth, Mr. Lu doesn't have to mind, and what he says may not be credible."

Zhang Yuguan glanced at him and said secretly: Didn't you say that I was accurate just now.

Old man Lin immediately patted him on the back again, and said to Mr. Lu

"Mr. Lu, are you tired of performing today, the village has prepared wine and food, and the house has been prepared, why don't you go back and rest first?"

When Zhang Yuguan heard this, he was stunned, this guy actually wanted to live in the village.

When Old Man Lin saw Zhang Yuguan like that, he guessed his mind and said

"I finally invited Mr. Lu here, but I can't let him stay for a few more days."

Mr. Lu smiled and nodded

"Dao Chief, Na Lu retired first."

Zhang Yuguan laughed

"Mr. Lu, please."

It didn't take long for Zhang Yuguan to be the only one left in the room, and at this moment he was lying on the table, thinking about what had just happened, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, he took out the puppet in his arms, and frowned.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Mr. Naru was really suspicious

"I can't be mistaken, but there is a faint hint of evil in him, which usually happens in this case, usually a person with a heavier temperament, that person's eyes are so clear, but that person's smile is so unnatural, as if he is smirking."

He thought about it for a long time, but still had no answer, so he simply stood up and set the table again.

Taking out another brazier, he picked up the puppet he had received from Mr. Lu, his face was solemn, and he silently recited the Tianmu spell in his mouth

"I am the eye of heaven, chasing with the sky. The eyes are like thunder and lightning, and the light shines on the eight poles. See through the inside and outside, nothing is lurking. Haste as a law! ”

I saw him throw the puppet into the brazier, and suddenly the light in the brazier was full of flames, and a wisp of green smoke slowly rose, and then, slowly turning into a winding cyan line in the air, constantly extending into the distance, with Zhang Yuguan's sight, it also kept extending into the distance.

At this time, Zhang Yuguan was already sweating, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his cheeks, soaking the shabby robe, but Zhang Yuguan's face was hideous, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself

"Hold it off for me!"

He deduced the number of Dayan for only an hour, and he had exhausted his mental strength, and now, he kept using the Heavenly Eye Technique to spy on the heavenly machine, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and he went to see him pinching the Dao Trick at the moment, but his hands were constantly trembling, and there was even a trace of blood oozing from his ears!

But he was still gritting his teeth and insisting, and the green smoke continued to stretch into the distance, and finally, after a long time, a blurred picture appeared in his eyes.

But he just saw that picture, but he was shocked by a mouthful of old blood spurting out, and suddenly the Tianmu technique failed, and his whole person took a few steps backwards, and he fell to the ground.

His face seemed to be frightened, his face was horrified, and he recalled the scene just now, and said with a full mouth

"Impossible! No way! ”

The image that had just come to his mind was very short, but it was very clear, because there was only one thing in it.

A blood-dripping puppet was lying quietly on the ground, and that puppet was exactly the same as the one he dreamed of last night, it was the puppet that looked like Xiaocui!

But I saw that the puppet's mouth was very open, and he kept screaming bitterly

"Help me! Help me! ”

His face turned pale.

Could it be that the dream was real?
