Chapter 145: Divination
Wang Zhengyou listened to Shao Jingshi's words, and muttered secretly in his heart: The rats who have eaten the mouse medicine have been poisoned, and your comparison is really not good. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It seems that Cao Ding's gang is likely to have been hypnotized or something, and they can hypnotize so many people at one time, and Fang Shi's lineage really deserves its reputation, no wonder this young gentleman opened his mouth and closed his mouth to mice, and he didn't take the hot Haisha faction in his eyes over the years, and he was a veritable artist who was bold.
Next, Shao Jingshi told the ghost servant and Wang Zhengyou of the strategy of Zhu Xing, the eldest disciple of the Haisha faction, that the dove occupied the magpie's nest and waited for the rabbit, and the two were speechless when they heard it, this strategy was really insidious and vicious, if it wasn't for Cao Ding planted in the hands of the Shao family last night, they would have now fallen into the way of the Haisha faction.
"Not really. Shao Jingshi glanced at the ghost attendant with a smile, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "This distinguished guest is a bow that is full all the time, and the rats are afraid that it will not be so easy to succeed." ”
"Please forgive me, Mr. Shao," the ghost attendant said apologetically, knowing that he was overreacting when he was in the hallway earlier, "I was just tempting." ”
Shao Jingshi shook his head: "That's why I said that your temptation is meaningless-these rats know about our Shao family," Speaking of this, he looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Now, you two don't have any doubts, right?"
The ghost attendant and Wang Zhengyou nodded.
Shao Jingshi smiled: "Then let's go out and talk, the air here is really stuffy." ”
Before going out, Wang Zhengyou took one last look at Cao Ding and the others, who were dull-eyed and muttering to themselves, and asked Shaojing: "What are they talking about?"
"Who knows," Shao Jingshi's expression grimaced, "probably talking to his hallucination." ”
The four of them returned to the main hall and sat down, and the ghost attendant said straight to the point: "I have something, and I want to ask Mr. Shao to help you refer to it." As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized brown cloth bag from his bosom and handed it over.
Shao Jingshi took the cloth bag, took out a scroll from it, unfolded it and glanced at it, and then he was shocked, he immediately closed the scroll, looked up at the ghost servant, his face changed several times, and after a while, he spoke: "You...... No, you, you're really ......" The voice trembled a little.
Shao Shixuan glanced at Shao Jingshi strangely, he knew that his father was very good at cultivating his temperament, and he had never been happy and angry, and he had never seen him show such an expression.
Shao Jingshi was completely unaware of his son's gaze, his eyes did not blink, and he stared directly at the ghost servant, as if he wanted to see every detail of his face.
In Shaojing's opinion, it seemed that half a century had passed, and the ghost attendant nodded very lightly.
Shao Jing breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head and said to his son: "Shi Xuan, you take Wang Zhuangshi to the backyard for a walk, I have something to discuss with this distinguished guest." Then he smiled and said to Wang Zhengyou, "Wang Zhuangshi, you are tired all the way, right, can you go around with the dog to see the scenery?"
Wang Zhengyou knew that he couldn't participate in their next conversation, so he laughed and nodded: "Okay, Wang is trying to go to the backyard to enjoy the flowers, but I don't know if there is good wine in the house?"
"Yes, of course there is!" Shao Jing urged his son, "Shi Xuan, why don't you go and prepare wine and food for Mr. Wang!"
Shao Shixuan responded, stood up and waved to Wang Zhengyou: "Uncle Wang, please come here!"
After the two left, Shao Jingshi turned to the ghost attendant.
"Please go and talk to the study with the contemptible person. ”
His tone was very respectful.
An hour later, the study of the young family.
"I've done the best I can, but, I'm sorry, I can't see through the mystery of this. ”
Shao Jingshi's expression was very frustrated, he closed the scroll, put it in the cloth bag, held it with both hands, and handed it to the ghost attendant on the opposite side of the square table, with a very respectful attitude, the latter was staring thoughtfully at a few copper coins on the table, the surface of the copper coins was rusty, the style was very ancient, but the maintenance was quite good, and the Tang Dynasty names such as "Kaiyuan" and "Heisheng" on the copper coins could be clearly seen.
"It's okay, I've been a long way out. The ghost attendant retracted his gaze and smiled at Shao Jingshi, "It seems that the information hidden by this thing is too subtle. ”
"The more obscure, the more important. Shao Jingshi said, "You must not give up, you must find another master to interpret it." ”
"I will. The ghost attendant nodded, raised his finger to point to the copper coins on the table, and asked Shaojing, "Does Mr. Shao have a hobby of collecting ancient coins?"
Shao Jingshi looked down and said, "Oh, this is used for divination." ”
"Fortune telling?" said the ghost attendant.
Shao Jingshi nodded, picked up an ancient coin casually, and explained to the ghost servant: "This is a knowledge passed down from the ancestors of our young family, but not many people can master it now, and I have only mastered it." ”
The ghost attendant lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his eyes and asked, "You think we will come?"
"How come?" Shao Jingshi shook his head and smiled, "I'm not some unknown prophet ...... the Great Immortal"
"Didn't that group of people from the Haisha Sect get tricked?" the ghost attendant asked in a serious tone when he looked at Shao Jing, "If you didn't prepare in advance, Mr. Shao, how could you easily contain them all?"
"That's really prepared in advance," Shao Jingshi smiled, "But it's not what you think, in order to prevent trouble, our Shao family has already set up a courtyard formation in the mansion several generations ago, and those rats just happened to bump into it." ”
The ghost servant was taken aback, and thought about it carefully, from the time he came to the present, he had walked inside and outside the young family's mansion, but what he saw in his eyes was the usual scene in the traditional mansion, how could there be any shadow of the formation, if he had to say that something was wrong, that is, the pattern of the shadow wall and the tile looked strange, but those things definitely could not constitute a formation, what was it? Thinking so in his heart, his face showed a look of doubt.
Shao Jingshi saw the expression of the ghost attendant, and said softly: "Don't be surprised, this formation is hidden in every corner of the Shao's house, and it usually doesn't show up, it will only be activated when the thief comes uninvited, you are a distinguished guest of our Shao's family, and you came in from the main entrance, so the formation will naturally not appear." ”
"Oh, that's right. After listening to Shaojing's explanation, the ghost attendant bowed slightly.
Although Shao Jingshi once humbly said that the magic was nothing more than a clever deception, the section on the formation of the courtyard alone could not be explained by common sense.
"When I woke up this morning, I saw rats lying in the yard, and it really scared me. If there is no formation of the nursing home, I am afraid that our young family will no longer exist now. Shao Jingshi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had palpitations, "After getting those rats to the warehouse, I calculated a hexagram in the study, and the hexagram said, 'Guests come from the north, it is precious', at that time I was still very puzzled: Are those rats still nobles? So I used some means against them, and then I knew that they were coming for you, and I also learned your identity, and I was not sure until you showed me this thing. He glanced at the brown cloth bag.
The ghost servant secretly thought, don't look at Shao Jingshi's understatement, those "means" are likely to be extremely clever hypnotism and other tricks, and immediately said half-jokingly: "Fortunately, I took this thing out, otherwise Mr. Shao would have used some means on me, right?"
"Impossible," Shao Jingshi shook his head solemnly, "How can my Shao family make a move on a distinguished guest?"
"Then I'll thank Mr. Shao first," the ghost attendant nodded, stood up, and arched his hand, "It's just that we are being hunted down and killed now, and it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so I will say goodbye to Mr. Shao." ”
Shao Jing raised his hand and stopped: "Distinguished guest, slow down!"
"What advice does Mr. Young have?" the ghost attendant looked at him suspiciously.
Shao Jingshi's face was ashamed, and he said in a low voice: "I can't see through the mystery in that thing, it's because I Shao Jingshi is incompetent, but as a person in the rivers and lakes, I can't just let you leave empty-handed." ”
The ghost attendant asked, "What do you mean ......by Mr. Shao?"
Shao Jingshi said: "Please let me calculate a hexagram for you and talk about my Shao's intentions." ”
The ghost attendant sighed and sat down again, he had never believed in ghosts and gods, so his reaction was very flat, and he replied: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Shao Jingshi's expression became extremely solemn, as if he didn't notice the ghost waiter's reaction at all, stretched out his right hand, grabbed three copper coins from the table casually, and threw them upward, the copper coins flipped and flew into the air, and fell down again, Shao Jingshi immediately stretched out his left hand, pressed the three copper coins on the palm of his right hand, and then turned his hand over, and stacked the three copper coins on the table one by one.
Seeing that he was so serious, the ghost attendant didn't say much, and watched silently from the other side.
Three copper coins are two antis and one positive, and the one on the front is engraved with four big characters of "Yuan and Tongbao". Shao Jingshi stared at the three copper coins for a while, then smiled and said happily: "This is a sign of ZTE!" Then his eyes were attracted by the pattern on the surface of the other copper coin, and he muttered in a low voice, "This is ......"
Looking at it, Shao Jingshi's eyebrows jumped suddenly, his expression changed, and he shouted: "No!" He didn't blink, staring at the copper coin, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and later, the whole forehead was sweating, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, and whispered to himself: "No, it's impossible......"
Seeing him like this, the ghost attendant asked puzzledly, "Mr. Shao, what's wrong?"
Shao Jingshi was stunned, his eyes were glued to the three copper coins, his mouth sighed, and his eyes became a little scattered.
The ghost servant frowned and shouted again, "Mr. Shao?"
"Ahh
Only then did Shao Jingshi come back to his senses, looked away from the copper coin, and looked up at the ghost servant, his face full of worry.
The ghost attendant knew that the hexagram was not good as soon as he saw his expression, but he didn't believe it at first, but out of politeness, he still asked, "Mr. Shao, what does the hexagram say?"
Shao Jingshi hesitated for a while before replying: "The rivers and lakes will usher in ZTE." ”
