Chapter 5 Ceremony (3rd Recommendation Vote)

Free things are the most expensive! Zhou Mingrui muttered silently, intending to wait no matter what additional services there were, he firmly refused.

If you have the ability, you will find out that I am crossing!

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui followed behind the woman with red butterpaint on her face, and bent down into the low tent.

It was so dark inside the tent that only a little light seeped in, faintly revealing a table full of cards.

The woman in the pointed hat was not affected at all, and the long black dress floated around the table like water, sat down opposite, and lit the candle.

The dusk was swaying, and the tent seemed to be bright and dark, and there was a little more mysterious feeling in an instant.

Zhou Mingrui sat down quietly, his eyes swept over the tarot cards on the table, and found that there were main cards such as "magician", "emperor", "upside-down hangman" and "temperance" that he was familiar with.

"Is Comrade Russell really a 'senior'...... I don't know if it's my fellow countryman of the big foodie empire......" The corners of Zhou Mingrui's mouth moved slightly, and he was in a trance.

Before he could finish reading the cards on the table, the woman who claimed to be "very good at divination" had reached out and put all the tarots together, folded them into a pile, and pushed them in front of him.

"You shuffle the cards, cut the cards. The circus soothsayer said in a low voice.

"I'm going to wash?" Zhou Mingrui subconsciously asked.

The soothsayer's face squirmed with red butterpaint, and he said with a faint smile:

"Of course, everyone's fate can only be divined by themselves, and I am just an interpreter. ”

Zhou Mingrui immediately asked vigilantly:

"There's no extra charge for interpretation, right?"

As a keyboard folklorist, I've seen a lot of similar tricks!

The soothsayer was visibly stunned for a moment, and then said sullenly:

"It's free. ”

Zhou Mingrui put his mind at ease, stuffed the revolver into his pocket a little more, and then calmly stretched out his palms and skillfully shuffled and cut the cards.

"Alright. He placed the shuffled tarot cards in the center of the table.

The soothsayer clasped his hands together, looked at the cards carefully for a while, and then suddenly said:

"Sorry, I forgot to ask, what do you want to divination?"

When chasing the unsuccessful first love, Zhou Mingrui also studied tarot cards, and said without hesitation:

"Past, present, and future. ”

This is a kind of divination card array in tarot cards, with three cards arranged in sequence, symbolizing the past, present, and future.

The soothsayer nodded first, then turned up the corners of his mouth and smiled:

"Then please shuffle the cards again and understand what you want to ask about, so that you can shuffle the cards that are truly symbolic. ”

You were kidding me...... Don't be so stingy, isn't it because I've always emphasized that it's free...... The muscles in Zhou Mingrui's face twitched, he took a deep breath, took back the tarot, and reshuffled and cut the cards.

"Is it okay this time?" he said, placing the cut cards on the table.

"No more. The soothsayer stretched out his finger, picked up a card from the top, and placed it on Zhou Mingrui's left hand, his voice becoming more and more hoarse, "This card symbolizes the past." ”

"This one symbolizes the present. The soothsayer placed the second card directly in front of Zhou Mingrui. 、

She picked up the third card and placed it on Zhou Mingrui's right hand:

"This one symbolizes the future. ”

"Okay, which card do you want to look at first?" After doing all this, the soothsayer raised his head and looked deeply at Zhou Mingrui with gray-blue eyes.

"Let's look at 'now' first. Zhou Mingrui thought for a while.

The soothsayer nodded slowly, turning over the cards directly in front of him.

This card depicts a young man in fancy clothes, a colorful headdress, a cane on his shoulder, luggage hanging from the cane, and a dog behind him, the serial number "0".

"Fools. The soothsayer read the card softly, and his gray and blue eyes looked at Zhou Mingrui fixedly.

Fool, Tarot's Plate Zero, Beginning, Including All Possible Beginnings, Zhou Mingrui is not even a beginner fan of tarot, so he can only make a superficial interpretation based on his impression.

Just as the soothsayer was about to speak, the cloth door of the tent was suddenly opened, and the strong sunlight shone in, making Zhou Mingrui, who was facing away from it, instinctively squint his eyes.

"Why are you pretending to be me again! Divination is my job!" a female voice roared angrily, "Go back! Remember, you're just an animal trainer!"

Zhou Mingrui adapted to the light, and saw a woman at the door, who was also wearing a pointed hat, a black dress, and red butterpaint, but taller and thinner.

The woman sitting in front of him quickly stood up and said:

"Don't mind, I just like this, I have to say, sometimes, my divination and interpretation are quite accurate, really ......"

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt, skirted the table from the side, and walked briskly out of the tent.

"This gentleman, do you need me to help you decipher?" the real soothsayer looked at Zhou Mingrui and asked with a smile.

Zhou Mingrui moved the corners of his mouth and asked sincerely:

"Is it free?"

“...... No. The true soothsayer replied.

"Forget it. Zhou Mingrui put his palm back in his pocket, held down the revolver and banknotes, and bent down to walk out of the tent.

This is really, I actually found an animal tamer to do tarot divination!

Isn't an animal trainer who doesn't want to be a soothsayer a good clown?

Zhou Mingrui quickly put the matter behind him, and spent 7 pence at the "Lettuce and Meat" market to buy 1 pound of not-so-good lamb, and bought tender peas, cabbage, onions, potatoes and other items, plus the previous bread, for a total of 25 copper pence, that is, 2 sules and 1 pence.

"I can't help but spend the money, poor Benson......" Zhou Mingrui not only lost the two banknotes he took out of the house, but also took a penny in his trouser pocket.

He sighed casually, didn't think much about it, and hurried back home.

With the staple food, it's time for the transfer ceremony!

............

When the tenants on the second floor left one after another, Zhou Mingrui did not rush to carry out the ceremony, but first translated the words "Fusheng Xuanhuang Xianzun" into Gufusak and Runn, planning that if the original spell did not work, then change the local language and try again the next day!

After all, we have to consider the difference between the two worlds and the problem of following the local customs.

As for the translation into the Hermetic language for ancient prayers and sacrifices, Zhou Mingrui was difficult to complete because of his lack of vocabulary.

After doing all this, he pulled out four loaves of rye bread from the paper bag, one in the corner of the coal stove, one on the inside of the bottom of the mirror, one on the top of the cupboard against the meeting of two walls, and one on the right side of the desk where the miscellaneous items were piled up.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mingrui came to the center of the room, calmed down for a few minutes, and then took a solemn step and walked in a square counterclockwise.

As a first step, he whispered:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable. ”

In the second step, he sincerely and silently recited:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun. ”

In the third step, Zhou Mingrui held his breath and whispered:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang God. ”

In the fourth step, he exhaled turbid breath and said silently:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. ”

After returning to his position, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and waited for the result in place, with expectations, uneasiness, hope, and panic in his heart.

Can I go back?

Will it work?

Will there be any surprises?

The darkness in front of him was dyed with the crimson brought by the light, and the thoughts in Zhou Mingrui's mind were surging and difficult to calm down.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to stop flowing, becoming viscous and eerie.

Immediately after, his ears rang with whispers that were sometimes fine, sometimes sharp, sometimes illusory, sometimes seductive, sometimes manic, sometimes crazy.

Obviously he couldn't understand what this murmur was saying, but Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but listen and distinguish.

His head ached again, as violently as if a steel drill had been inserted.

Zhou Mingrui only felt that his head was about to explode, and his thoughts were dyed with psychedelic colors.

He knew something was wrong, and tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't complete this simple action.

The whole person became more and more tense, and it could be broken at any time, and Zhou Mingrui inexplicably came up with a self-deprecating thought:

"If you don't die, you won't die......"

He couldn't bear it any longer, and when the string in his mind was about to break, the murmurs of countless voices receded, and the surroundings became very quiet and the atmosphere was rather erratic.

Not only the atmosphere, Zhou Mingrui felt that his body was also fluctuating.

He tried to open his eyes again, this time with great ease.

The gray mist that filled his eyes was hazy, blurry, and boundless.

"What's going on?" Zhou Mingrui looked around in astonishment, then lowered his head and found himself floating on the edge of an endless gray mist.

The gray mist flowed like water, dotted with crimson "stars", some of them were large, some were small, some were hidden in the depths, and some were floating on the surface.

Looking at this hologram-like scene, Zhou Mingrui stretched out his right hand half confused and half exploratory, trying to touch a crimson "star" floating on the surface on the right side, looking for a way to leave.

As soon as his fingers touched the surface of the star, water streaks suddenly poured out of his body, causing a "crimson" to erupt, like a dreamy firework.

Zhou Mingrui was startled, his right hand was withdrawn in a panic, and he accidentally touched another "crimson".

As a result, this "star" also shines brightly.

As a result, Zhou Mingrui felt that his head was empty and his spirit was sluggish.

............

Beckland, the capital of the Kingdom of Rune, in Queens, inside a luxurious villa.

Audrey Hall sat at the dresser, rubbing the bronze mirror with an ancient pattern and a cracked surface on the table.

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, Wake Up......"

"In the name of the Hall family, I command you to wake up!"

......

She changed her rhetoric one after another, but the mirror didn't respond.

After more than ten minutes, she finally chose to give up, pursed her lips aggrievedly, and muttered in a low voice:

"Dad is really deceiving me, every time he tells me that this mirror is the treasure of the Black Emperor of the ancient Solomonic Empire, and it is an extraordinary item......"

Before she could finish speaking, the bronze mirror placed on the table suddenly bloomed with a crimson light, enveloping her at once.

............

On the Sea of Sunia, a three-masted galleon, clearly ahead of its time, is sailing through a storm.

Alger Wilson stood on the deck, his body undulating with the bumps, easily maintaining his balance.

He wore a robe embroidered with lightning patterns, and held a strangely shaped glass bottle in his hand, which sometimes bubbled, sometimes frost gathered into snow, and sometimes there were traces of wind.

"It's still a ...... of ghost shark blood," Alger whispered.

At that moment, a crimson erupted between the glass bottle and his palm, and in an instant, it flooded the surroundings.

............

Above the gray mist, Audrey Hall regained her gaze, looked left and right in horror and confusion, and saw the man with a blurred head and a hazy figure diagonally opposite.

Immediately after, they noticed a mysterious man standing not far away, shrouded in a gray mist.

"Mystery man" Zhou Mingrui was also dumbfounded.

"Your Excellency, where is this?"

"What do you want to do?"

Audrey and Alger were stunned for a moment, then fell silent, and then spoke in unison.
