Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2277 Wells (big chapter)
Lai Pi and Hei Pi were beaten so dizzy that they cried out bitterly: "No, Uncle Lin, you are my biological father, how could I betray you?"

"I'll spare you two this time. Next time, see how I deal with you!" Ghost Taoist Master waved his hand and shouted: "Get out of my way, don't block my hexagram stall."

Laipi and Heipi nodded and walked around behind the Ghost Taoist Master, looking at the crowd with an air of dignity.

After the drama of cleaning up Master Luo Qi just now, the villagers who went to the market began to believe in the ability of Taoist Ghost.Someone came up, took out the money, and asked the ghost Taoist priest to tell his fortune.

The ghost Taoist priest nodded, asked the birth date, and began to calculate.

The crowd of spectators still didn’t disperse, and they were surrounded by the Ghost Taoist Master on three levels inside and three outside.

Because this is the real opening of business, and you need to show your skills to everyone, so the ghost master calculated it very carefully and calculated all the big and small things in the other party's family.

Ghost Taoist Master was much more capable than Li Qingdong later, and his calculations were truly foolproof.

The surrounding villagers were all in admiration for Taoist Ghost.

After the first business was done, people all around stretched out their hands, handed over their bills, and shouted: "Old man, count one for me, count one for me!"

However, the ghost Taoist priest refused to accept the money and shouted at the deadbeat Heipi: "Let everyone line up and tell everyone that I only count ten people every day. It is not allowed to count too many people! Today I have already counted two, and there are eight more to come." , close the stall after calculation."

Heipi and Laipi were overjoyed. They held up the big flag like a tiger skin, shouted and pointed, pushed the onlookers outward, and ordered everyone to line up.

Seeing the two gangsters, the villagers all lined up consciously. Some people knew they couldn't make it, so they left angrily, planning to come back tomorrow.

So, Taoist Ghost told everyone's fortunes on the street.

Fortune-telling among country people is also a trivial matter. It is nothing more than when you will get rich, how long you will live, and so on.These things are extremely simple for Taoist Ghost.

The Ghost Taoist Master took his time and counted them one by one. At around ten o'clock, the ten hexagrams were completed and he announced a break.

Heipi and Laipi stored the table and bench and went to have dinner with Ghost Taoist Master.

The ghost priest ordered four dishes, a bottle of wine, and took the two gangsters to dinner.

"Uncle Lin, your fortune-telling is so accurate, we should increase the price. Earning ten yuan a day like this is not enough to eat." said Shapily.

"The price will start to increase tomorrow, five yuan per hexagram; continue to increase the price the day after tomorrow, ten yuan per hexagram." Ghost Taoist Master said.

Heipi was overjoyed and said, "Ten yuan is one hexagram, and ten hexagrams a day is only 100 yuan. If three people share it equally...it's still not too much, Mr. Lin."

The Ghost Taoist Master snorted and said: "Nowadays, fortune telling is used to maintain food and drink. When I find that thing and sell it, I will split the money and I will have more money. I can bury you two in the pile of money!"

The thing that Ghost Taoist Master was talking about was naturally the golden head.

"Yes, yes, you are right, Uncle Lin. We have to take a long-term approach to catch big fish, hehe..." Laipi Heipi was about to jump up with excitement.

After three glasses of wine, he lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Lin, where did that golden head come from?"

"Hey, do you know the story of the Yellow Emperor's battle with Chi You? That Chi You is from here, do you know?" Ghost Taoist Master said slowly.

The two gangsters nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know, but what does this matter have to do with Chi You?"

"You don't understand this. Wasn't Chi You defeated by the Yellow Emperor? So, the Yellow Emperor chopped off Chi You's head to show the public, but took Chi You's body back to Chi You's defeated soldiers." Ghost Taoist Chief laughed and said something nonsense. ,road:
"Everyone brought Chi You's body back, thinking that it would be so miserable for the king to be powerful all his life, but to die without his head. So they made a head out of gold and placed it on Chi You's neck. What I am looking for now is Chi You. This golden head!”

The two gangsters were stunned and said together: "Oh, it turns out to be Chi You's golden head!"

"Shh... keep your voice down, don't let others hear it!" Ghost Taoist Master hurriedly stopped him.

Lai Pi hastily lowered his voice, and asked, "If that's the case, that thing is still in Chi You's tomb? But I haven't heard of any big tomb here?"

"There used to be tombs, but then there was an earthquake and everything underground moved, so I had to slowly calculate." Ghost Taoist Master said.

The two gangsters nodded and bowed again, so they were so flattering.They have no culture, so what the ghost master says is what they say.

After dinner, he went back to rest. After taking a nap, Taoist Ghost took his two followers and wandered around Xishui Town.

Laipi and Heipi didn't know what Master Ghost was going to do, so they asked, "Uncle Lin, are you looking for that thing?"

"Well, come out and walk around if you have nothing to do. Anyway, I have nothing to do. People in the city are walking their dogs, so I will walk you two." Ghost Taoist Master said.

Lai Pi and Hei Pi were not angry either, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, we are your dogs. We will bite whoever you want us to bite!"

The ghost Taoist laughed loudly and said, "I'm afraid that when you see Luo Wuxian, you will wag your tails at him again."

"No, Uncle Lin, I won't do it again. I heard that Luo Wuxian knew that he had lost his life and had already left Xishui Village." He said with a shameless smile.

"Okay... Anyway, if you follow me, it will benefit you in the future." Ghost Taoist Master put his hands behind his back and continued walking, looking around.

Words are long, no words are short.

In this way, the Ghost Taoist Master settled down in Xishui Village for more than a month.

Every morning, Taoist Ghost would go to the market to set up a stall and tell fortunes. Every afternoon, Taoist Ghost would wander around Beizhai and Nanzhai.

For more than a month, the ghost priest has also established a great prestige in Xishui village. Almost all the villagers know the ghost priest and respect him respectfully.There are even rumors that the Ghost Taoist Master is a god, the reincarnation of Liu Bowen, etc...

As for Heipi and Lapi, because they followed the Ghost Taoist, the tide has risen, and they are head and shoulders above others in Xishuizhai.

The Ghost Taoist Master also restrained these two guys, forcing them to swear that they would no longer be pickpockets or petty thefts.The divination gold obtained from fortune-telling every day, excluding the food and drink expenses, the Ghost Taoist Master also gave to Heipi and Laipi.

These two guys gradually understood the principle of gathering a small amount to make a large number, and actually both had some savings.Although it was only 500 yuan, to them, it was a huge amount of money.

That afternoon, Taoist Ghost was still wandering around the outside of the village.

When walking to the east end of Beizhai, the Ghost Taoist Master suddenly stopped, pointed his hand at the village, and said, "No, there is black energy over there. I'm afraid there are evil spirits doing evil and harming people!"

Laipi and Heipi looked in the direction of the ghost's long finger, but saw nothing, so they asked: "Uncle Lin, where is the black air? Why didn't we see it? I only saw someone cooking, and the chimney There’s black smoke coming out of it.”

"Of course you can't see it with your naked eyes!" Taoist Ghost glared and said, "Come on, come with me and have a look!"

The two gangsters didn't dare to ask any more questions, and followed behind the ghost priest, and walked towards the South Village together.

From the North Village to the South Village, there is a river in between, which is this stream.Due to historical reasons, Nanzhai has always been richer, while Beizhai has been relatively poor.

Black-skinned and deadbeat people belong to Beizhai, and they are extremely poor people.

The three of them crossed the river and walked back and forth towards Nanzhai.

The ghost Taoist walked and stopped for a long time, watching and looking at him, showing his seriousness.

The two gangsters heard that evil spirits were haunting them, so they were naturally afraid and looked around thiefly.

Arriving on the path in front of the village in Nanzhai, Taoist Ghost walked straight west and suddenly stopped in front of the door of a wealthy family.

It stands to reason that there were no wealthy families in that era, but there was indeed such a family in Nanzhai of Xishuizhai, the only wealthy family.

This family, whose surname is Huang, lives in an old building from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The houses are contiguous, covering a large area, with front and back, and a gatehouse and courtyard.There is also a pair of animal head door knockers on the vermilion door, which is particularly majestic.

Lai Pi saw Taoist Ghost stopping here and hurriedly tugged on Taoist Ghost's sleeves and whispered: "Uncle Lin, this family is very weird. Don't mess with him."

"What kind of weird method?" Ghost Taoist Master asked.

"They say this is a dangerous place. If you go in, people will die. Everyone says that there are people living in the front yard of his house and ghosts living in the back yard..." Shapi said in a low voice.

The ghost priest smiled, walked into the gate of Huang's house, and asked, "Is anyone at home?"

Laipi and Heipi hesitated for a moment and stood waiting by the door, not daring to go in.

"Yes, yes." Voices came from the door, and then an old couple came out. Seeing the ghost Taoist priest, they said in shock: "Aren't you the fortune teller Lin on the street? Why are you here at our house? Please sit down." "

Although the house looks like it belongs to a wealthy family, the old couple are dressed like poor people and are no different from ordinary people nearby.

The old couple often saw Taoist Ghost who set up a fortune-telling stall on the street every day, so they knew Taoist Ghost and were very polite to him.

The Ghost Taoist laughed and sat down, saying, "I just saw a cloud of black air falling into your backyard. I'm afraid there's something unclean coming to harm people. So I'm a little worried, so I came to see you." Look. How is it, everyone at home is okay?"

"Did you see something?" The old couple of the Huang family changed their colors together and asked hastily.

The Ghost Master nodded and said, "Yes, I saw something, and it fell into your backyard."

"Oh my god, is that thing really here?" Old Man Huang's face changed, and he shouted to the old woman: "Quickly, tell the children to get out, we can't live here anymore, people will die!"

Taoist Ghost waved his hand, handed Old Man Huang a cigarette, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not dark yet, so it should be fine. First, tell me, what is that thing, and it kills people?"

Old Man Huang took the cigarette, hesitated, and said, "I can't say for sure..."

"Then let's talk about the history of this house first, and I'll tell you whether it's bad or good." Ghost Taoist Master said.

Old Man Huang nodded his head, looked at the roof again, and said:
"This house is not my family's ancestral house, but belongs to a landlord. Later, the local tycoons divided the land and gave this house to a few of us old poor farmers. But not long after we moved in, something strange happened. A woman was fetching water from the well, and a fire suddenly burst out of the well and burned the woman to death..."

"Where is the well?" Ghost Taoist Master asked.

"The well is behind... Later, the same thing happened again. Everyone said there was a ghost here, so they all moved away." Old Man Huang sighed and said, "My family is the poorest, and I have nowhere to go, so I stayed here." I came down, sealed the well, and built a small house on it. But even building a house wouldn't work. More than ten years ago, my eldest granddaughter was burned to death right next to the well... Everyone said there was something in the well. Ghost, I don’t know what ghost it is.”

The Ghost Taoist Master counted his fingers and said: "This thing will get angry once every 12 years. Counting the time, it will be soon this time..."

"12 years?" Old man Huang also calculated, and it was exactly 12 years since his granddaughter died!

Mrs. Huang was very nervous and asked: "Big brother, please tell us, should our family move out? We are old and are not afraid of life or death, but I still have a big family!"

The Huang family is prosperous, especially in the past few years, they have married three daughters-in-law and have several grandchildren.

There are now more than a dozen people in the Huang family, so they are naturally very worried.

"If you want to move out, you must move out." Ghost Taoist Master frowned and said: "You move out, I will open the well and help you catch that thing, and then you can come back. If Lao Huang is not afraid of death, I will You can stay and help me."

"Do we have to move away?" Lao Huang asked a little bit, as if he didn't want to bother with the matter.

The Ghost Taoist Master nodded solemnly and said: "We must move this time, otherwise... your whole family will be in danger, and maybe none of you will be left behind. Not only do you have to move, but you also have to take away all the valuables in your home. Prevent damage.”

Old Mrs. Huang was a sensible person and said, "Old man, stop talking nonsense. Do you want to see your family ruined before you move? Even if the whole family goes to beg for food, it's better than dying, right?"

The ghost Taoist smiled and said, "You don't need to beg for food. It only takes seven or eight days. After I catch that ghost, you can come back. If the house is destroyed, I will give you money to build a new building."

In fact, Taoist Ghost knew that if he started taking action at one o'clock, the Huang family's house would become a ruin.But Taoist Ghost did not dare to explain this clearly, otherwise, Old Man Huang might not be willing to move away.After all, this house is large and spacious, and I have lived in it for many years and have feelings for it.

When Old Mrs. Huang heard this, she was even more happy and encouraged the old man to move.

Old Man Huang was a little confused and asked: "Brother Fortune Teller, but why...why do you want to help me?"

It is normal for people to be suspicious of you when you help others for no reason.

The ghost priest sighed and said: "To be honest, I came here just because of this ghost thing. Because this thing not only harms people here, but also does evil in other places. Many years ago, I was a Brother, he was killed by this ghost. I figured out that this thing was here, so I came to take revenge, do you understand?"
