My years as a fortune teller

At this moment, a few people came suddenly, saying that their grandmother's health was not good, and they wanted to come here to pray and bless her.Generally, we all hope that we can make an appointment for such rituals.In this way, some things can be prepared, and at the same time, the high way to do things can be arranged.

Fortunately, Master and others are here today, and they are also showing filial piety for their grandmother.So I asked Master, Teacher and Uncle Xuanhe to pray for the old man.Although everyone had something on their minds, Nian readily accepted it because of their filial piety.

Although we don't have any drum music here, there are three high-level Taoists who were rare in those days.Therefore, this ceremony is more grand than any other, attracting many people from around to want to get some blessings.

After the ceremony, I wrapped a bag of five-color rice for the family, and took some offerings.In particular, the clean water enshrined in front of Immortal Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, originally came from the Spring of Medicine King.I also dumped it all on this person and told them how to use it.It's really hard to see this family is so filial, so I was even more generous once.

Generally, people who come to burn incense, no matter how much money they give.Even if you don't give money, I will give you one or two fruit offerings as long as you come to ask questions.Master once said recently: "Gods will not eat these things, and the offerings are also for smelling the aroma. For us, it is a heart. After offering these offerings, there is a kind of blessing. Apart from being disrespectful to God, it is also a blessing. It will arouse the suspicion of the gods. So we enjoy it ourselves, or distribute it to those who need it, which is considered a merit.” Therefore, almost all the offerings here are given to those who come to offer incense.

After all these people have left, I see that everyone is also hungry.So I went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, brought them in, and invited my uncle and several masters to eat together.After they had finished eating and drank the tea I made, I took a quick bite.

After I finished eating and tidying up, I came to my uncle and said, "There should be a bigger secret hidden in this box of my uncle, can you tell me about it? Otherwise, I will never let go of my curiosity." .”

"Haha!" Master Uncle laughed and said, "I know what you want to ask me, but I will tell you even if you don't tell me. Whether this matter can be resolved depends on the good fortune of your master and apprentice. It's you It doesn't matter if the head brother doesn't know, but you must know."

After hearing what Master Uncle said, I looked back at Master pitifully and said, "Master, it seems that I will not be able to be the presiding Taoist leader, and I will run around to do errands. You will pity my disciples in the future, and teach me two tricks more. .”

The master glared at me, and said to the teacher, "I learned this shameless attitude from the old lunatic. It seems that I will pay close attention to my apprentice in the future, so as not to be led astray by you." He said and looked at the teacher.

The teacher was drinking tea, but the topic suddenly turned to him.Immediately, there was a feeling of a dumb man eating Huanglian, and he opened his mouth several times but did not speak.Seeing his appearance, we laughed together.

The master and uncle looked at the atmosphere and said to us: "The family whose surname is Zhao is actually not Zhao. Their ancestor's surname was Situ, who was a famous bandit and tomb robber in Yanzhao land. In an ancient tomb, I found this "Missing a Door" and a book on longevity. Although they are giant bandits and tomb robbers, they are ruthless in their own cultural improvement. And these people are at best scholars. The better ones are Juren. Because of their status as scholars and Juren, the government at that time did not regard them as thieves. Later, after discovering these two books, the family stopped being thieves. Tomb robbery, wealth is also accumulated in an instant."

I nodded, and said to my uncle, "That means that their family is not low-level. They are either scholars or Juren. Then they use this identity to rob tombs, or become bandits? Then they got this by accident. After two books, I started to concentrate on robbing the tomb."

Uncle Master nodded and said to me: "It's true that what I said was very messy, but you summed it up very well." After finishing speaking, Uncle Master took a sip of water and continued: "But although there are more and more tomb robbers, people from their ancestors The inhalation of Yin Qi is also increasing. Men can’t live to be 40 years old, and women can’t conceive or give birth to children who are born with disabilities.”

Upon hearing this, Master shook his head and said, "Everything comes from retribution, so they should accept this kind of punishment. It's just that they are too persistent and can't let go of many things. This leads to a vicious circle and development from generation to generation."

Master Uncle said softly: "That's it, the strange thing is here. Even so, this group of people has not repented, and is still looking for the ancient tomb. Until I met them, it should be regarded as The wife who sent this box must be of this generation."

I glanced at Master Uncle, and counted with my fingers.Said to Master Uncle: "Master Uncle, I remember you said earlier that you met five old brothers at that time. You only guarded one child, and finally became my Master Uncle's apprentice. But I remember this young man surnamed Zhao , Tell me that he also has a second grandfather."

Master Uncle nodded and said to me: "Yes, when we saw them, there was indeed only one child. My senior brother and I felt compassion for them and helped them resolve it. We told them that as long as they can be kind, Ten years later, two boys will come to his house. You may not know that each of the five brothers lacks one thing, the eldest lacks a left arm, the second lacks a right arm, and so on. The fifth has no brains. Use your present The words are idiots. My senior brother and I helped them resolve it. The senior brother saw that the only one of the five brothers was smart and cute, so he took him up the mountain. He promised to let him go down the mountain after five years."

I nodded, looked at the master and said, "It seems that this is also my uncle, how is he doing now?" Having said that, I looked at my uncle again.But I have a bad feeling in my heart.

"Hey!" Master uncle sighed, and said to me: "He is also your uncle. Kong Wu didn't go up the mountain at that time. Later, when Kong Wu went up the mountain, he had already gone down the mountain. What did the elder brother and I do? It was all counted, but this child was not counted. In the third year after we left, the five brothers had two more baby boys in a row. We didn’t know it at first, but they wrote to inform us later. That year The Yellow River flooded, and many people fled famine. So the five brothers exchanged Wanguan’s family property for food, and all opened porridge sheds for disaster relief. This thing they did unintentionally moved God and was rewarded. Later, the five brothers Help each other start a lumberyard."

I nodded and said with a smile: "All of this is due to my great uncle and my great uncle's dedication to enlightenment. Otherwise, how can a family who have been bandits and tomb robbers for generations repent? If we want to say credit, it should first be Master uncle and master uncle."

Master Uncle shook his head and said to me: "Remember, we are doing a good thing at the same time. We may also do a great evil. Since ancient times, good and evil have been interdependent." Master Uncle's words made me I was stunned, it was the first time I heard someone say good and evil like that.

Uncle Master went on to say: "The evil we left is that we should not have left those two books, let alone take their children back to the mountain. This child has learned a lot on the mountain, but it really touched him. He is still interested in the technique of longevity. When he returned home, he found the bamboo slips with the technique of longevity, and learned the above method to practice. In order to quickly cultivate the righteous method, he did not hesitate to use various methods to trick boys and girls into practicing evil skills. I know After this incident, senior brother was not alarmed. Send Kong Wu who just went up the mountain down the mountain to cut off this evil obstacle for us." At this point, the uncle sighed again.

Now I finally understand the whole story of this matter, although there are still some problems in it.I looked at Master, and I already guessed in my heart that it was close to ten.

It must be Master who was merciful and did not eradicate this evil spirit.Instead, they used other methods to trap him, hoping to dispel the hostility in his heart.But I didn't expect that not only did it not disappear, but it came out to endanger the human world.Thinking of this, I shook my head lightly.
