Big Gold Tooth nodded upon hearing this, and Fatty, seeing this, turned to Hu Bayi and Bai Jing and asked in confusion, "Who is this Li Chunfeng?"
Hearing Fatty's words, Bai Jing couldn't help but chuckle, while Hu Bayi wore a speechless expression, wondering why he was getting so worked up.
Then the group ignored the fat man and began to wash up.
Big Gold Tooth found the fat man's puzzled look amusing, but he still explained, "This Li Chunfeng was a feng shui master in the early Tang Dynasty. He was from Gulan County. It is said that after his death, he was buried in Gulan County. This is all recorded in unofficial history."
When Fatty heard Big Gold Tooth say that it was a Tang Dynasty tomb, he immediately became interested. Seeing this, Hu Bayi stopped Fatty, who was about to ask more questions, and said, "Alright, stop talking about this useless stuff all day long. Hurry up and finish washing up and go to bed."
The fat man chuckled awkwardly. He wasn't actually short of money; he was just having a bit of a stress reaction. He then said with an embarrassed smile, "I was just saying."
Then, he turned around and prepared to go back to his seat to continue washing up.
While he was washing up, Fatty asked Big Gold Tooth to scrub his shoulder. Immediately afterward, Big Gold Tooth seemed to notice something and quickly called out to Fatty, "Hey? Fatty, what's that red mark on your shoulder?"
The fat man was puzzled when he heard this, and immediately wanted Hu Bayi and Bai Jing to take a look. As a result, he found that Hu Bayi also had such a red mark on his shoulder.
Immediately, Hu Bayi and Fatty looked at Bai Jing's shoulder.
Bai Jing cooperated and let them see.
Bai Jing knew that this must be the beginning of the Snake God's curse manifesting.
Strangely, they did not see any red marks on Bai Jing's shoulder.
However, when Bai Jing started rubbing his back, Big Gold Tooth asked in surprise, "Hey, Second Master Bai, you're really trendy! Your back is covered in a big flower. Wow, that flower is really beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing was also taken aback for a moment, and then showed it to Hu Bayi and Fatty.
With Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Big Gold Tooth's descriptions, Bai Jing roughly understood what the flower on his back looked like.
Precious flower!
That's right, the magnificent flower that appeared on Bai Jing's back was the Treasure Flower.
Moreover, Bai Jing guessed that it was because of the peony flower on his back that the red curse mark of the snake god did not appear on his body.
Bai Jing thought for a moment, then looked at Hu Bayi and Fatty and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I know what happened, we'll talk about it later."
Then, the group continued washing up, but at that moment, a sound suddenly came from the toilet.
"The divination by candlelight and tortoise shell was accurate to the smallest detail; Chen Tuan was reincarnated, and King Wen was reborn."
Chapter 192 Blind Chen
Upon hearing this voice, Bai Jing and the other three quickly turned around to look behind them.
Then I saw an old man slowly get up from the toilet.
Upon seeing the old man, the fat man couldn't help but complain, "Wow, old man, those four lines of your opening poem are really an eyesore. Where did you come from? You gave me quite a fright."
The old man was not annoyed by this, and said with a smile, "I am telling you this because I cannot bear to see you perish here."
With that, the old man pushed open the toilet door and came out.
Bai Jing sized up the old man and had already roughly guessed his identity.
Upon seeing that the old man was wearing sunglasses, Hu Bayi stepped forward and gestured with his hands in front of the old man's eyes to confirm whether the old man was truly blind.
But the old man didn't react, seemingly unaware, and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, a peculiar smell rushed towards them, and even Bai Jing almost couldn't withstand it. Seeing this, the others quickly retreated.
The old man finally stopped in front of the four of them and slowly said, "Although I am blind, I understand the principles of heaven. Don't you four want to have your fortunes told today?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately assumed the old man was a fraud and laughed, "Old man, you're a fortune teller, right? Then don't embarrass yourself here. It's getting late, you should go back to sleep."
After saying this, Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Big Gold Tooth exchanged a smile, then turned around to continue washing up, while Bai Jing looked at the old man with great interest.
The old man was not annoyed at all upon hearing this, but continued, "Gentlemen, even if the things buried in the ground are of the best quality, you still need to be careful when handling them."
Those who pass away all hope to ascend to paradise as soon as possible; no one wants to be disturbed by outsiders in their peaceful sleep. Among those who just spoke, three of them carried a heavy aura of yin energy, which may indicate that great misfortune is about to befall them.
After saying this, the old man leaned on his cane and walked out.
Upon hearing this, the fat man looked at the old man, while Hu Bayi was clearly intrigued as well.
The old man stopped at the door and said, "Do you want to know? If you do, come with me."
After saying that, the old man walked straight out of the toilet.
Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Big Gold Tooth exchanged glances; clearly, the three of them were interested in the old man.
To be honest, Bai Jing was also quite interested.
The four of them quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes in their room, and then went to the courtyard of the guesthouse.
As soon as the four entered the courtyard, they saw that the performance on the stage had ended.
It's only just gotten dark, but it's already dinnertime.
So many people are having dinner right now, and Bai Jing and his three companions originally planned to have dinner after washing up, but now it's clear that they can only patronize the old man's fortune-telling stall first, and then go eat.
From afar, the four of them spotted a fortune-telling stall under a lamp, where the old man they had met in the restroom was now sitting.
The four exchanged a glance and then walked directly to the fortune-telling stall.
Bai Jing and Hu Bayi exchanged glances.
After glancing at it, Hu Bayi sat down on the stool at the fortune-telling stall.
The fat man glanced at the setup of the fortune-telling stall a few times, then smiled and said, "Old man, you've got quite a complete set of tools."
Hu Bayi glanced at the fat man, then asked, "Old man, may I ask how you are addressed?"
The old man ignored the fat man's words and, upon hearing Hu Bayi's question, slowly said, "My surname is Chen, and I'm just a blind old man. Just call me that."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing was now 100% certain of this person's identity.
The fat man slammed his hand on the table and said irritably, "Tell us clearly, how exactly did we end up in this mess? If you can't explain it clearly, believe me, I'll smash your fortune-telling stall."
Hearing the fat man's words, he shook his head disdainfully and said, "You rude little brat, you have no wisdom at all, and you are not worth my time to say anything more."
Then, he changed the subject and looked at Hu Bayi sitting in front of him and Bai Jing standing next to him, saying, "But I'm willing to say something about you two."
Upon hearing this, the fat man was instantly filled with rage and turned to Bai Jing, asking, "What does he mean by that? Does he look down on me?"
Bai Jing smiled upon hearing this but remained silent. Hu Bayi turned and glanced at the fat man, saying, "Who told you to come here and say you were going to smash someone's stall?"
Before Hu Bayi could finish speaking, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Hu Bayi's face with both hands, and muttered, "Let me touch it."
Hu Bayi had never been touched like this before, and he immediately felt uncomfortable. While his face was being grabbed, he asked, "What are you touching?"
He immediately replied, "Feel the bones!"
Then, while touching Hu Bayi's face, he muttered to himself, "The family's divination techniques passed down through generations are astonishing and not to be underestimated. A bamboo tube holds the secrets of heaven, a few copper coins can predict all things. By feeling bones and observing words, one knows without needing to speak."
He suddenly stopped here, looking somewhat surprised, as if astonished by Hu Bayi's appearance, but then quickly finished reciting the incantation: "...and you'll know your social standing and worth!"
The fat man found it very strange; he had never seen fortune telling done like this before. He immediately reached out to Hu Bayi, wanting to touch Hu Bayi's face, but Hu Bayi slapped away the outstretched hand.
Then, the fat man said, "So what can you tell by feeling your bones?"
Hu Bayi's face was stinging from being touched, so he rubbed his face and said, "Old man, please don't spread alarmist rumors. Let me give you a piece of advice: superstitious beliefs must be abandoned. The Party's glory guides me, you know that?"
Bai Jing remained silent, wanting to hear what was to come next.
He slowly sat down, then exclaimed with a look of astonishment, "How strange! How strange! How strange!"
This immediately piqued the curiosity of Bai Jing and the others. What did this mean?
Then, someone exclaimed in surprise, "How come this person looks quite similar to me when I was young?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing, who was drinking water, spat it out, spraying the water all over Hu Bayi.
Upon seeing this, everyone present except Hu Bayi burst into laughter.
Chapter 193 Divination
Ignoring the burst of laughter from the crowd, Hu Bayi turned his gaze to Blind Chen.
"No, you're just trying to take advantage of me in a roundabout way."
Hearing Hu Bayi's words, Blind Chen looked somewhat puzzled, but explained, "I'm flattering you. A mortal with a snake-locked spiritual aperture is bound to hold a position of power. It seems you are also a high-ranking official in the imperial court."
Hu Bayi roughly understood Chen the Blind's situation. Chen the Blind did have some skills, but he was mostly just fooling people.
However, Bai Jing did not expose Chen the blind man's scheme.
Bai Jing knew that Blind Chen simply wanted someone to enter the Dragon Ridge Maze to bury the body of his friend Jin Suanpan.
Moreover, Blind Chen also realized that Hu Bayi and he were probably descendants of the Tomb Raiders lineage, so he probably thought that if Bai Jing and Hu Bayi went, they would be able to succeed more easily.
Hu Bayi chuckled upon hearing Chen the Blind's words and then said, "A feudal lord? Nowadays, a feudal lord would have to be a regional governor, a leader in the local area, and a military commander in the military. Old man, do I look more like a leader or a commander?"
Upon hearing this, before Blind Chen could even speak, Fatty couldn't help but say, "You let something slip, old man. If you ask me, you can't even make up a convincing lie. You should tell him that his son will be a prince in the future, then there won't be any mistake."
Blind Chen seemed to be angered by the fat man's impolite behavior and immediately said, "You keep calling me 'old man,' aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for not understanding the proper order of seniority?"
Just as the fat man was about to argue, Hu Bayi waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, the secret arts of the I Ching, Bagua, and Feng Shui are profound and all-encompassing. They have their uses. If you want to use them to cheat people out of money, then you are truly insulting the wisdom of our ancestors. What do you say?"
When Chen the Blind heard Hu Bayi's words, he nodded in agreement, then sighed and said, "That's right, the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams are indeed profound and subtle. There are also some secrets of feng shui that have not been passed down since ancient times."
Aside from the true tomb raiders who genuinely understand "The Lost Tomb," how could anyone else possibly know its secrets? How dare you, mere juniors, spout such arrogant words and ridicule this old man?
