My years as a fortune teller

Uncle Xuanhe looked at the shop owner He Qingshui and said: "Senior He, this junior didn't know that senior was hiding here just now, so I hope that senior will forgive me for being reckless." He stood up and saluted He Qingshui.

He Qingshui stood up hastily, and said to Master Xuanhe: "Where are you reckless, sit down and talk quickly." Then he sat down with Master Xuanhe, and then said: "Seeing that you and I are about the same age, you are also Don't call me old man anymore. I'll just call me a brother! Come on, if you don't mind, let's drink this bowl of wine." He picked up the wine bowl in his hand.

When I heard what the shop owner He Qingshui said, I was really shocked.At first I thought he was dumb!I didn't expect to be able to talk, it seems that Master Xuanhe's reasoning is not wrong at all.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuan He picked up the wine bowl on the table.After the two touched each other, they drank the wine in the bowl in one go.Uncle Xuanhe coughed twice, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm old! I haven't touched the contents of this cup for many years."

I blinked my eyes when I heard that, could it be that Uncle Xuan He used to drink very badly.Uncle Xuan He seemed to see what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "Fat boy, don't blink your eyes. Let me tell you a secret, back then I was known as the Little Wine Immortal. Later, when I got old, I gradually quit this What's in the cup."

Before I had time to talk to him, He Qingshui said with a smile: "My brother seems to be quitting to practice a certain kind of magic! Hehe, otherwise, how could the little Jiuxian back then reluctantly give up?" Poured a bowl of wine for Uncle Xuan He.

Uncle Xuanhe shook his head and said: "It's the past, so don't talk about it. By the way, Brother He quit the rivers and lakes and opened this inn here because of something. You haven't spoken during the day, and I The fat apprentice thought you were dumb."

He Qingshui laughed and said, "Hey, this is the first time I've talked to a stranger in so many years. It's almost 20 years, and I haven't talked to a stranger in 20 years." Picking up the wine bowl, he drank another bowl in one breath.

At this time, the wine in the wine gourd had been drunk, and the shop owner He Qingshui walked over, rummaged under the counter for a long time, and then took out a jar.This jar is not very big, just like pickling pickles at home.It also sealed the mouth with mud.

The old man He Qingshui walked over holding the jar, and then smashed the soil on it with his hands.A seal made of wood appeared, and the old man pried open the seal with the knife he carried with him.A strong aroma of wine came out!

The old man He Qingshui took a deep breath, smiled and said to us: "This jar of wine has been sleeping underground for 21 years. If I didn't see you today, I wouldn't want to take it out and drink it!" We finish the wine in our bowls.

After we finished drinking the wine in the bowl, old man He Qingshui filled us with his own wine.Then he raised his wine bowl and said, "It's rare to meet the original Taoist friend of the two today, so this bowl of wine is used to welcome you two." He raised the wine bowl as he spoke.

Uncle Xuan He, Luo Datong and I raised the wine bowl together.This wine is stronger than the one just now, but it is indeed brewed from pure grain.Uncle Xuan He kept shaking his head while drinking: "Good wine, good wine!"

Luo Datong smashed his mouth and said: "Brother, I have been honored by the two of you today! I have known Uncle Qingshui for many years, and he has never been willing to give me a taste. If the two of you don't come, I guess it will be difficult in this life." No blessing to taste such a good wine."

The old man He Qingshui nodded with a smile, and said, "This wine was given to me by a relative of a customer when I was chasing corpses back then. Hey! Think about the days back then, and look at me now." The old man He said and shook his head.

As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood that this old man had a story.So he took his hand and said with a smile: "If Uncle Qingshui is willing, he can also tell us younger generations. Let us open our eyes!" Luo Datong agreed with me.

The old man He Qingshui took a sip of wine, looked at the empty bowl and thought for a while.Slowly said: "In the 40s, there were four up-and-coming corpse hunters in western Hunan. One was Dong Qi, the old corpse hunter, Wu Changyun, Zhang Shi, and me." Following the old man's eloquence, I gradually figured it out.

Back then old man He Qingshui and the current corpse exorcists Dong Qi, Wu Changyun, and Zhang Shi were known as the "Four Great Evil Exorcists".No matter what kind of corpse it is, as long as it is handed over to them, it will be delivered to the designated place on the designated day.

Even in the process of chasing corpses, they will use their own Taoism when encountering corpse changes.After control, send the corpse to the relatives of the deceased, and tell the relatives of the deceased how to resolve the burial.

Each of the four men had a territory of their own, and each knew the other's name.But they have never met each other before, they just silently drive away the corpses in their own territory.It wasn't until a strange thing happened one year that the four of them were connected together.

It is said that the Japanese devils had just surrendered, and the civil war broke out again.Some Miao children also ran out to serve as soldiers.As the flames of war spread infinitely, the business of these four people is getting better and better.One day a strange letter called the four of them together.

There are no extra words in this letter, just ask the four people to work together to drive a dead body to a remote mountain village in northwestern Hunan.Wherever they go, someone will pick them up and go where they need to go.After the work is done, each person can get four gold bars as a reward.

The four of them received the letter at the same time, and they were naturally moved when they saw that they wanted to give the four gold bars.But they didn't know that when they received the letter, the other three also received it.Looking at the price above, they all understood that this was definitely not a simple corpse.But for the four gold bars, the four of them arrived at the place agreed in the letter.

After arriving at the agreed place, I realized that I was not the only one who received the letter.It was from this time that the four people got to know each other.The four people each have their own little calculations in their hearts, some are happy while others are worried.

They were received by a man who looked like a butler. He introduced himself and praised the abilities of the four of them.Then he ordered people to take out eight gold bars and put two in front of each person.And told the four people that as long as they agreed to this errand, this was their deposit.After the corpse is transported to the destination, the rest of the reward will be offered immediately.

No one would be tempted to see the golden bars, but He Qingshui knew in his heart that this was definitely not a simple corpse.Otherwise, it would not be possible to summon the four of them at the same time.But he didn't say this, the reason is very simple because he was afraid that others would laugh at him for being timid.

In the end, Dong Qi, the old man who chased the corpse, spoke, and his meaning was very simple: to look at the corpse first.This reason is very good, and there is no way to refute it.The old butler nodded and led everyone to the backyard.A black coffin was parked in a room in the backyard.

The old butler saw that the few people were puzzled, so he told them.This time the corpse was not driven, but transported back together with the coffin by car.That's the only thing that's different from the past.

While everyone was still wondering, the old butler ordered someone to open the coffin lid.A young lady with the appearance of a closed moon and a shameful flower, and the appearance of a fish and a wild goose appeared in front of the four of them.

This female corpse is not very old, it should be about sixteen or seventeen.There are no obvious wounds on the body, and at first glance it looks like he is asleep.The legs are filled with various funeral objects, many of which are rare treasures.

The old steward told everyone that this was the daughter of King Miao.King Miao liked this daughter very much, and when she was a little older, she was sent to study in a foreign school in the provincial capital, so she was dressed in a foreign style.Stayed here for three days last month as I was getting ready to go home.As a result, the person fell ill, and the doctor died before seeing the doctor.

King Miao liked his daughter very much, so he asked the housekeeper to ask four masters to transport the body back.As long as the daughter's body is transported back, there will be a generous remuneration in addition to the original remuneration.

The four hesitated for a while, and finally Zhang Shixian agreed.Seeing that Zhang Shi agreed, the other three felt that they would not agree.He would be looked down upon by his peers in the future, so he simply agreed to all of them.

But Dong Qi, the old man who drove the corpse, had a question at the time, why didn't he find his own men if he wanted to transport the corpse.But looking for them, corpse exorcisers?He told about this matter with He Qingshui, who had a similar personality, during the process of transporting the corpse later.Unexpectedly, He Qingshui also had this question, and although the distance was not very short, there was no particularly dangerous place along the way.Isn't it a little overkill to find four of them?

Although there were such doubts, the four of them signed a contract when they agreed.So the four of them changed from corpse chasers to corpse transporters.After choosing an auspicious day, he set off on the road accompanied by the old housekeeper and four servants.

He Qingshui felt strange when he was walking on the road. Usually, the corpses were transported or chased away because they were far away from home.It was inconvenient for relatives to go with them, so they found corpse hunters like them.But this time the old housekeeper is also with us, why didn't he just ship it himself?

The most surprising thing is that the housekeeper did not stay in the hotel all the way.Regardless of whether it is a formal one or the kind of corpse-busting inn where the corpse-huskers live, they are not allowed to live in it.You can only live in the wilderness at night, and only take the small roads and not the big roads.

Despite these weird requirements, it's not a problem for the four of them.After walking for two days, Dong Qi, an old corpse exorcist, proposed to build a pergola over the coffin.This will keep out the rain as well as the sun.

This proposal received responses from the four of them, and the old housekeeper nodded.Just ask four people to cut down some trees and make this arbor according to their requirements.The four of them went into the nearby grove without even thinking about it.

After a short time, the two came out holding a chopped tree trunk.But as soon as he got out of the grove, he found the old housekeeper and several servants lying on the ground.There was a knife stuck in the chest, and the blood flowed into a small river.Only the coffin, still sleeping in that car.

Seeing this scene, the corpse exorcising old man and He Qingshui hurriedly called the other two.At the same time, he ran to the old butler's body, and when he touched his nose, there was no breath at all.

At this time, the other two also ran over, and were stunned looking at the scene outside.No one knew what was going on, but they killed people silently.But what is the killer for?

Wu Changyun raised his opinion immediately, and opened the coffin lid to see if the body had been stolen.This proposal was quickly rejected by the remaining three for the simple reason that it would be the sun.If the coffin lid is opened, the corpse inside will rot if exposed to sunlight.

In addition to this reason, there is another reason that He Qingshui secretly left a mark on the coffin when he set off.In fact, not only He Qingshui, but also Zhang Shi also left a mark.So the two of them refused most strongly.

So the four discussed what to do next.In the end, based on the principle of good faith, the four agreed to bury the bodies of the old housekeeper and others first, and then continue to transport the bodies to the destination.

In this way, they buried the bodies of the old housekeeper and others beside the grove.Then he drove the car and continued to move forward, hoping to arrive at the destination quickly to end the transaction.But they didn't know that from now on, the emissary of the underworld would accompany them all the way.It was from this time that an event that affected the old man He Qingshui for half his life kicked off.But this matter is inextricably linked with our goal this time...
