My years as a fortune teller

Looking at the old man who claimed to be half-human, half-ghost, I don't know what to say anymore.This place is two miles away from the village just now, even if he said that he used the things left by the senior masters, it attracted the powerful thunder.

But there is a condition that cannot be ignored, that is, you must also know a little magic.And it is not an ordinary spell, it must have a high attainment.Otherwise, even if there are sacred objects left by senior experts, there will not be such a powerful thunder coming down.

To put it bluntly, even if senior experts put this sacred object, if you are an ordinary person, it is an ordinary thing when you encounter such a thing.Occasionally, even if you are lucky enough to know what it is, you don't know how to use it.It will definitely not be like the ones in movies and TV, you will know what it is at a glance, and ordinary people will use it when they pick it up.

So I firmly believe that the old man in front of me is an expert with strange skills.Because there is one more thing that can be proved, that is, the monkey that stood in front of us just now.Is it possible that a monkey half as tall as a man can understand what you say without any skills?

So through these two points, I believe that this is a hidden master.As for the ventriloquism he uses, it is just like what he himself said, it is indeed a trivial skill.It's just that it's more difficult to practice, so it looks amazing to ordinary people.

Seeing that we stopped talking, the old man said to the little monk and me: "Okay, you two don't think about it, sit down and rest for a while. I will tell you later."'

I smiled and sat down, and said to the old man: "Can you get us something to eat first, and eat some in the morning after this day. Until now, the two of us have not had any water or rice."

The old man nodded, looked at the monkey and said, "Feng'er, Yu'er, go and get something to eat. When the distinguished guests come, they don't know how to serve them with fruit. This is not our way of hospitality!"

When the two monkeys heard this, they turned and jumped out of the cave.I looked at the figures of the two monkeys, smiled and said to the old man: "Your name has some meanings, one is wind and the other is rain. It sounds like a human, and it also has some poetic charm."

"Haha!" The old man raised his head and laughed loudly, and said to us, "I have relatively little literacy, which means I have low education. So I named them according to the wind and rain when I picked them up. You Don't underestimate these two monkeys, thanks to their care for me these years. Otherwise, my old life would have died in the wilderness."

I smiled and didn't answer his words.But the little monk said: "Senior Lu is too humble. With your skill, few people can get close to you. Even if you miss for a while, you can save the day."

I know that the little monk is not like me, he won't speak so harshly.Although the old man does not speak with his mouth, he even laughs with his abdomen.But I could see from his face that the old man was telling the truth.

I thought for a while and said to the old man: "Senior Lu, what kind of poison is my friend? How could he lose his true nature and help that group of people deal with the cat demon? But the good thing is that he can still wear it." A suit of armor."

The old man nodded, and continued to speak to us in ventriloquism: "This poison is extracted from corpses. You should see that our place is very suitable for raising corpses. But you should also know that there is a kind of soil that is very easy for corpses to absorb." Rot. And this kind of poison is to find corpses that have just rotted into water, collect the corpse water, and then add some madweed. In this way, a poison that makes people lose their minds is made. After taking this poison, they will only obey The poisoner."

When I heard this, I thought about it. It seems that I have heard of this method of making poison.But there is still a problem that is not easy to understand.So I asked directly: "In the words of modern medicine, there are many bacteria in the corpse after it turns into water. And as far as I know, there is basically no way to get rid of the corpse water after it enters the human body. If you add madweed, there is probably no way." lifted."

The old man nodded and said to me: "You are right, it is true. But there is a kind of leech in this river, which can suck the poisonous blood from the poisoned person's body."

Hearing this, the little monk immediately said: "If this is the case, wouldn't all the blood in the human body be sucked clean? If that is the case, wouldn't you also kill him while saving people? Amitabha!"

I patted the little monk on the head and said: "You are stupid, the old man gave so much medicine just now. There must be someone who helped to protect the heart, so that he would not die from blood sucking. But Brother Tian experienced After this time, I think I should understand a lot of things. This time is like saying that I have lived again. If I die for a lifetime, I may understand many things."

"One life, one death, one death, one life! Amitabha, from the beginning to the end, from the end to the beginning. The cycle is endless." The little monk recited the Buddha and said: "Brother, today's words have entered a new realm!"

I patted the little monk's head with my backhand and said, "Since when did you learn how to flatter, just say a simple sentence in circles. You don't think it's smelly, so feel free to shoot!"

The old man smiled and said to us: "Both of you have very high levels of cultivation, so you can say that they complement each other. If you practice for a few more years, you will definitely become a generation of masters."

I smiled and shook my head and said: "Forget it, I'm fine if I don't get mad when I'm with him. By the way, old man, how long have you practiced ventriloquism. Now you can laugh with your belly, it seems You have put a lot of determination into this exercise!"

The old man nodded and said to us: "Since I was killed by that traitor, I can no longer speak. Fortunately, my master taught me such a unique skill back then, so I worked hard to get to where I am today."

"Traitor?" This is what I want to hear, so I immediately asked: "Can the old man tell this story to us two brothers? Hehe, it's okay anyway, the old man will tell us Let's talk!"

The old man shook his head, and just said, "Eat something before we talk!" Just as he finished speaking, two figures flashed into the cave.I took a closer look, and it was the monkeys made by the two half-humans.They came in with a lot of wild fruits, it seems that these are our meals.

I picked up a fruit that the monkey was still on the ground, wiped it and handed it to the old man.But the old man didn't pick up. I don't know what it means, but I just think it's not very polite for him to do so.

But I didn't expect that a monkey took the fruit from my hand and brought it directly to the old man's mouth.The old man didn't reach out to pick it up, but just opened his mouth and ate it.Could it be that his hand was hurt?

Even though I thought so, I didn't ask, I just picked up a fruit, wiped it and put it in my mouth.A sour taste rushed straight to my forehead, wow, this fruit is really sour.But there is still a sweet taste in the sourness, and after one sip, it immediately drives away the fatigue on the body.

The old man said to us in ventriloquism: "This kind of fruit is available all year round, but it is very rare when the weather is cold. I basically survived by eating these fruits. Occasionally, the wind and the rain help me get some hares and fish. A kind of open meat."

As I was talking, a monkey standing at the entrance of the cave suddenly cried out. The old man looked at me and said, "Your friend must have woken up. Go and carry him on your back! Remember not to give him water, you have to wait for him to drink." We can only feed and drink at noon tomorrow."

I answered and ran out of the cave, and came to Jin Nantian's side.Just look at the many dead leeches around him, wow, the blood on this kid is poisonous enough to kill so many leeches.

I stretched out my hand from under his neck and slowly lifted him up. Jin Nantian reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at me and said, "Huzi, is it you? Why did you come to save me now? If you don't come again, We won't see each other again."

His voice was weak, but the good thing was that there was no break in his speech.I helped him to sit down and said: "It's not bad to be able to save you now. Who told you that you are greedy for small things. You should have some memory now. You can't be greedy for everything." The little monk was talking. I also came down, and with the help of the little monk, I carried Jin Nantian, which had softened into a pile of mud, on my back.Then go to the cave...
