the last priest

The antimony mine is just a smoke bomb. Although there are indeed antimony mines in the Liangjiagou area, the later facts proved that the output is extremely low, and there is no need to use such a large-scale military force, and the small team did not find the real gold well. The entrance, because a few years later, someone discovered a bigger secret that was left behind.

After all, the shopkeeper was taken away. When Cha Wenbin came back, he rebuilt the Qingshui Tomb. Liang Wencai’s bones were found in another place and entered the ancestral tomb. It's back to normal.Not long after that, people from our village began to move out one after another, and my family was relocated to Cha Wenbin's hometown, Wulipu.

Wulipu is wider than Liangjiagou, and I know it very well. I used to go there when I was a child, and it’s close to my grandmother’s house. I went to Hetu after school.At that time, the child had very little pocket money, but his mouth was very greedy, so he wanted to get some extra money. I didn't have that ability, but someone did.

After a lot of hard work and all kinds of temptations, I finally persuaded Hetu to start a big money-making plan with me: tell people's fortunes!I thought, given the name of Cha Wenbin's closed disciple, he must be able to afford it in the surrounding villages and towns, so the two of them used an old bed sheet to carry it with bamboo, and there were four words written on it: Immortal guides the way!There is a line of small characters written on the right: "Guide the gentleman who has lost his way", and on the left: "Remind the hero who has been trapped for a long time" and stole an old Taoist robe from Cha Wenbin. Although it is a bit big, after such a package, it really looks like thing.

Zha Wenbin locked himself in his room to study that torn book for a while, and Zabu received a letter from the old lama, and hurriedly wanted to go back to Tibet first, and the two of us were as if no one was watching.

Don't look at the two of us who are half-grown children, but there are many people who come to support us. Who has seen the two children come out to tell fortunes.Look at the novelty, look at the excitement, Hetu has been with Zha Wenbin for so many years, and what comes out of his mouth is a set of sixties terminology, which makes the group of onlookers stunned.

Cha Wenbin didn't allow Hetu to touch the fortune-telling business, because he always said that he leaked too many secrets, so he ended up in such a bad way. Therefore, when dealing with Hetu's career in Taoism, he always intentionally or unintentionally kept his apprentices from getting too involved. Multi-fate algorithm.

Although Zha Wenbin did not allow it, Hetu's talent is indeed extraordinary, and he has also figured out a set of fortune-telling methods, but he dare not use them on weekdays.I calculated it with him, and it was for spending some pocket money when we came out. Adhering to the truth of "talking to people, talking to ghosts", plus the two people's tracking and exploration, chasing after the wind and shadows, and playing with the wind. There is really a small receipt in the morning.Anyway, the hexagrams calculated are only half-sentences, half-truths, half-false, try to say as good as possible, and make people feel that these two little devils are a little bit smart.

In fact, it is very simple to say, first of all, you must learn a set of sixty-sixth terms, such as Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao... At the same time, you must also familiarize yourself with: Zishu, Chouniu, Yinhu, Maotu... This set of celestial stems and earthly branches will look professional.People who know a little bit can see that at least the eight characters can be matched by people, and the five elements can be pointed out by people.Rural people usually ask someone to calculate it when they are born, and they all understand their five elements and horoscopes. After hearing this, the two little ghosts reported that they were right, so they became interested.

Then I have to memorize a set of vulgar jingle tunes for getting promoted and getting rich, adding blessings and longevity: what "the wind comes from time to time to send Tengwang Pavilion", "Kun Zao Xinggeng is sixty, born at a certain time on a certain month, a certain day, and born at a certain time in fate." Okay, it’s just that there is a disaster star this year.” “It doesn’t matter if there is a disaster star, the deity can recognize the Sanqing, just read a scripture, and the disaster will be turned into good luck and the disaster star will be eliminated” and other nonsense.In short, we should give people some good explanations and some bad ones. Everything is under control, which means that it is a little troublesome, but I can handle it for you, so that someone is willing to give money to solve it.

It also depends on who the other party is, what is the main purpose of fortune-telling and divination, is it to seek medical treatment for illness?Is it a pregnant woman asking for hi?Is the old man asking birthday?Is it a child asking good or bad luck?Is it career prospects?Are young people asking about marriage?Whether it is the title of the gold list, etc., you must be good at observing words and feelings, and you must be good at listening to the truth from the mouth of the fortune teller, or giving comfort, or intimidation, or support, or sympathy. The general method is one, and the words should be ambiguous. , the tone should be reversible and repeatable, both ways.To fool them into believing whether they don't believe it or not, true or false, false or true, and finally let the false be true.Because most people are not so unlucky, just give me some comfort and it will be over.

In this way, our small stall is very lively. Counting two yuan once, I earned tens of dollars in one morning. When I counted the money, I was in full bloom. If I continue to do this, I will earn more than my father too much.He Tu is not for money, half of the half-old children are for fun, and the other half is to try his own Taoism, because the solution to fate is the most profound in Taoism, consciously or unconsciously, he always tries to ask everyone Everyone has given a true fate.You know, it's more difficult to control him now than to criticize him. The group of people said that they were fooled by the two children, but they actually got a big deal.

If you are too sharp, you will encounter trouble. When we want to close the stall at noon, such a troublemaker will come.

This man deliberately wanted to make things difficult for us two little devils. He is a rascal in the town. Although he does not see much light in his daily work, he will not be harmful to nature.Seeing that we had made a lot of money in the morning, we wanted to make a fool of ourselves. We went to the stall and threw a hundred-yuan bill and said, "You two will do the math for me. I'm going to play dice in the restaurant opposite later. You Said the first bet I bet is an order or a double. If you calculate correctly, the 100 yuan will be rewarded to you two brats. superior."

Seeing that the visitor was not friendly, I tugged on the hem of Hetu's clothes, trying to remind him to close the stall and run away, to fight the ruffians.But when the people around saw that this rogue deliberately made such a difficult problem for us, they immediately started booing and immediately surrounded the stall tightly. We had nowhere to go if we wanted to run. Big-eyed bewildered.

There was a hundred-yuan bill on the table, which was already a huge amount for us at that time. I wanted to take it, but I was really afraid that I would not be able to take it. Just as he was hesitating, the poppy said: "Two You little magician, if you want to come to this street to make a living, you'd better take two bottles of wine to Grandpa's to pass the scene." Saying that, the rogue was about to get up and pull our signboard, and I thought I'd be caught off guard as soon as I left the stall. People are smashed, so how can they mess around in the future?I can get pocket money by pointing this way.

Unexpectedly, He Tu stretched out his hand first, grabbed the banknote and said, "My lord, I will take over your business!"

The poppy got excited, and spit the toothpick he was chewing on our stall and said, "Oh, okay, you little bastards!" Testify, it’s not that I want to bully these two children, it’s that they want to take the money, so it’s up to each other, if I lose in a while, don’t say that I’m a big bully!”

There are not too many people to watch the excitement. Those who were planning to go home for dinner stopped and chattered at us. My face turned red instantly, and I whispered to us. Hetu said: "Are you sure? If not, let's run!"

Unexpectedly, He Xiangxiang didn't hear what I said at all, but asked the poppy: "Let's talk about it first, I will only count this one for you. We will win or lose in one hand, and the next one will be single or double. Don't you Ask me again."

That poppi smiled and said: "Okay, just one hand, I, Wang Manzi, like to gamble, if you are really fooled, I will give you another 100 yuan, how about it?"

He Tu squeezed his fist and said, "Okay!"

"Everyone has heard it, the winner will be determined, and I invite everyone to go in and see the testimony." After speaking, the poppi pushed the passers-by and walked into the teahouse opposite, on the second floor of the teahouse In the wing room, a group of gamblers were playing dice to guess odd or even.

This kind of game is very simple. A total of two dice are placed in a bowl, and the dealer covers the bowl with a lid and shakes it up and down. Everyone bets on one or two.After buying and leaving the hand, open the cover and add up the points to get an odd or even pair. You can learn it immediately. The bet is a probability. Generally speaking, the probability of opening a double is a little higher than that of a single, because the smallest point is "2 " instead of "1".

The dealer was a little dissatisfied with that Wang Manzi brought a large group of people here, but when he heard that it was such a gamble, he also became interested and expressed that he would definitely give it a good shot.Close the lid, shake it vigorously up and down three times, put the big bowl on the table, and shouted: "Single inside and double outside, buy it and leave it!"

Then, all eyes were on our two children. . . . . .
