the last priest

This time, the location chosen to set up the stall was still the same as last time. Fortunately, that rogue didn't come to make trouble again. When the stall was set up, some old people in twos and threes came to join in the fun.

For fortune-telling, it is basically calculated first and then paid. The person who does the calculation is embarrassed to ask the price, and it depends on the red envelope.But the purpose of our two little ghosts is to make money, and the price is clearly marked, and the price is calculated at two dollars, so there are more people watching the excitement than those who are willing to pay.

After working for an hour and earning ten yuan, I felt like a nouveau riche.At this time, an old man with a vegetable basket in his hand came and sat in front of the booth with a pair of reading glasses and asked, "Brother, can you count the people who don't come to the scene?"

It's a fool to have money but not make money. I don't care if you come or not, as long as He Tu speaks and says something nonsense, isn't it all the same!He quickly laughed and said, "It's up to you, it's up to you, two yuan is a hexagram, who are you going to count for?"

The old man took out an old handkerchief from his trouser pocket, opened it slowly, took out two dollars and put it on the table, carefully wrapped it and put it back.He pushed the money towards me, his fingers trembling slightly, and said, "I want to settle the matter for my little granddaughter. She is not in good health recently, and she is always sick."

This matter depends on Hetu. I am only responsible for collecting money and receiving. After kicking the boy, he said, "Master, do you have your granddaughter's horoscope?"

The old man said with a smile: "Yes."

He Tu pushed over a piece of paper and a pen and said, "Just write on it."

After taking a look at the horoscope written by the old man, I thought he must make up some nonsense about Wenquxing descending to earth this time. Unexpectedly, Hetu frowned, then glanced at the old man and looked down again. Looking at the paper, it took him a long time before he said, "Master, are you playing with our two children?"

The old man froze and said, "Why am I teasing you?"

Hetu made a look at me, which meant "this person is here to find fault with you", and I immediately understood: "Master, we don't want your money, you take it back, we don't count this one .”

Seeking divination and fortune-telling is something to look forward to, but if you see us but refuse to count, then the old man will quit!

"I paid the money, you have to calculate it for me, if you can't calculate it, you are cheating, two little liars!" Then, the old man yelled on the street: "There are two little liars here, Come and see, liar!"

The word liar is not something ordinary people can bear, especially for our two and a half-year-old children. When the old man bluffed there, a group of people gathered around and pointed at us, many of whom watched it a few days ago. lively. Words such as "liar" and "little gangster" began to be uttered from the crowd, and Hetu's face flushed instantly.

He slapped the table and stood up and said loudly, "Who are you calling a liar!"

The old man was unreasonable, pointing at Hetu's face and scolding: "It's you, you're a little liar!" As he said that, he even grabbed the collar of Hetu's clothes, as if he was looking for someone Desperately.

"You let go!" He Tu shook your old man's hand away and said, "The horoscope you gave me is fake. There is no such person in the world. You are deliberately making things difficult for me and finding fault with me!"

The old man suddenly became furious and said, "You liar, you still say you're not a liar! My granddaughter is six years old, and the neighbors in the neighborhood don't recognize her!" As he spoke, he pulled out the river map and grabbed his clothes Pull the collar out.

He Tu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "This person's horoscope is dead!"

"You fart!" After finishing speaking, the old man raised his hand and slapped Hetu's face fiercely, leaving five red handprints in an instant. The old man was still angry and continued to beat him, saying that Hetu cursed his family girl.

Fortunately, there are more people around me trying to smooth things over. After I refunded the money to the old man, I dragged Hetu and ran back home. The boy was so angry that he didn't say a word.Because of the trouble, He Tu said that he would never go to set up a stall again, and my plan to make money was stranded. I hated that old man so much, why did I come to find trouble with him?

Two days later, when I went to Cha's house to find Hetu to play with, I found him kneeling in the ancestral hall, Cha Wenbin was yelling at him, and there were two strangers standing in the yard, both holding gift boxes .

I didn't dare to go in, turned around and wanted to run when I heard Zha Wenbin shouting from inside: "Xiao Yi, come in for me too!"

Seeing that Zha Wenbin found out, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in. I saw that he was holding a ruler in his hand. It seemed that Hetu had been hit hard.I lowered my head and moved my steps, thinking that his master must have known about fortune-telling and making money, and I was beaten here.Unexpectedly, when the two strangers saw me coming, they kept apologizing to me. I was Monk Zhanger and looked at them in a daze.

After hearing what Zhuo Xiong said, I realized that we had really caused trouble. After a big fight with us that day, the old man went home angrily and saw that the house was full of crying and shouting.At that time, most rural households had a well. His eight-year-old granddaughter fetched water with her grandmother. Her grandmother had just finished carrying a bucket of water and was about to turn around to hold the child's hand when she heard a "plop". There was a splash of water from the mouth of the well.

When the old man went to find someone to bring his granddaughter up, he was already out of breath. When the old man entered the house with his front foot, his back foot fell limply on the ground.It is the cruelest thing for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. Later, his family members heard the conflict between the old man and Hetu on the street, and realized that it was really the same as what the fortune-teller on the street said. They sent people from the two clans to search for Wenbin to find out.

He Tu went out to do fortune-telling for others without permission, which is already a violation of the precepts of the sect. I am an outsider, and Cha Wenbin could not punish me, so he asked He Tu to hold an incense burner on his forehead and face the tablets of Sanqing and Master Shizun It's useless to kneel down and admit your mistake, no matter who pleads.

I was the one who came up with the idea of ​​this matter, but what Cha Wenbin meant was not to blame me, but Hetu for this matter!Why, because he made a mistake that is rarely known in Taoism: counting lives!

Zha Wenbin asked Hetu and me carefully, and understood the ins and outs of the matter clearly. The note left by the old man is still in Hetu's hand. , is irreversible.”

In fact, the calculation of the river map is not wrong, the master of this horoscope has long since died, and he has been dead for six years!And that old man's granddaughter was just six years old, that is to say, she had already returned to the underworld when she was born, but she happened to have a trap that she met, and that was "life-robbing"!

Cha Wenbin said that everyone has their own birthday horoscope, and these horoscopes will affect a person's life when they are born.And the King of Hades in the underworld has a book of life and death in his hand, and in the book of life and death, everyone's horoscope is written. As long as a person's life span is over, the king of Hades will draw a judge's pen on the horoscope, and within an hour, the person will die. I have to go to the underworld to report.

But there are two exceptions here: one is that those who have not yet reached the end of their lifespan have already died, that is called death by accident, but the horoscope is still in the book of life and death of the King of Hades, so they can't walk on the road to Huangquan, and can only be a wild ghost , Wait until the yang life is over and wait for the yin to lock the soul; if you want to reincarnate early, you can only find a scapegoat, as long as there is a scapegoat, you can doubt the judge and reincarnate as soon as possible.Therefore, when someone dies unexpectedly, Taoist priests will be invited to save them, and what Taoist priests can do is to send this kind of ghost that was originally going to wander and harm people into reincarnation as soon as possible.

And there is another rare situation: that is, the person's horoscope has been crossed out in Hades' book of life and death, but the person is still alive!This kind of person no longer exists in the world in the records of the underworld, so the influence of the horoscope on him is almost negligible, but in addition to the horoscope, people also have destiny. Died by accident, or simply lived a long life until the body was old and unable to support the soul's natural death.

In modern language, this latter situation is a bug, and this kind of bug usually appears in the kind of child who is about to die after giving birth but comes back to life.Because the baby's soul is very small when it is just born, and the relationship with the physical body is unstable, so children are often easily frightened, and the village is also called lost soul.However, many children were born in the hospital at the same time. If the errands went to catch the baby whose horoscope was scratched, they happened to catch someone else's lost soul and go back to the errand, then the surviving child is not in this world. It is easy to die young or be called dementia.

This kind of situation is very rare, but it is not unheard of. There are records of such things in Cha Wenbin's sect.Any Taoist priest needs to go through the book of life and death first to calculate the horoscope. When He Tu was measuring the girl's horoscope, he found scratches on the book of life and death, and was forced by the old man to tell the truth.As long as he measures the horoscope, it is equivalent to telling the Hades of the underworld that this person is still alive, and the Hades will immediately send someone to take away the soul of the child that should have been taken away after being reminded like this, and he will die accordingly...
