In the third year of the Republic of China, Hunan abolished the government, department, and prefecture system, and Chenzhou was Yuanling County. Although the folks changed its name, many people still used to call it Chenzhou in the corpse exorcism circle. At that time, the situation in China was turbulent, and the world was in chaos.As the largest town in Chenzhou, Yuanling Town was inevitably affected.However, Yuanling Town is attached to the Yuanjiang River, where commercial transportation on the water must pass through, and it is surrounded by mountains, so it is very rich in natural resources, and the residents living here can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing.

The three masters and apprentices stopped and stopped along the way. This time they set off with a sense of play. They climbed the mountains when they saw them, and watched the rivers when they saw them. They lived a carefree life. When they arrived in Yuanling County, they had already It's a month later. As soon as the three masters and apprentices arrived in Yuanling Town, Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo were immediately attracted by the bustling scene in front of them. There was an endless stream of pedestrians, all kinds of goods were placed on the street, and the cries of vendors kept coming and going. Loudly.On both sides of the street, there are many large and luxurious shops, which are filled with all kinds of colorful and eye-catching goods. Compared with Wanshan Town, Yuanling Town can be regarded as a real town.Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo, who came to this kind of bustling town for the first time, were stunned, looking at this and that for a while, enjoying themselves.

Before arriving at an inn, Xu Qiuyuan stopped and said, "Let's stay here. Master, go and inquire about the news first. You go ahead and book a few rooms." Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo nodded, and were about to reply when they suddenly heard a loud noise from afar. The two are newcomers, they are curious about everything, and they want to take a look at any novelty. Nong Fan asked Xu Qiuyuan: "Master, something seems to have happened there, can I go over there and have a look?" Xu Qiuyuan understood that these two disciples had never seen the big world, they were full of curiosity about everything, even if they wanted to stop them, they couldn't stop them, so he nodded and said, "If you want to go, you can go alone, but remember, don't make trouble."

As soon as Xu Qiuyuan left, Zhang Xiaoluo and Nong Fan looked at each other and smiled, and they rushed to the crowd excitedly to see that it was a fortune teller who was setting up a square table to tell people's fortunes. The fortune-teller was wearing a golden suit, a red belt, and a black hat, with a light blue veil covering her face, looking mysterious.When Nong and Fan arrived, the fortune-teller was telling the fortune of a fat man with oily face. The two were curious and squeezed to the front for a closer look.I saw the fortune-teller holding a small knife and stabbing the fat man's finger. The fat man cried out for pain. He put his finger down and dripped the blood into an empty bowl on the table, then sucked his finger with his mouth and asked Said: "Xianggu, how is it?"

Nong Fan looked at it strangely, and asked a middle-aged man beside him, "Uncle, what are they doing?" The middle-aged man looked at Nongfan and asked, "Young man, you just arrived here, right?" Nong Fan nodded: "Yes, I just arrived in your place." The middle-aged man smiled: "No wonder you don't know, let me tell you, this is the famous Mo Xiangu here, her fortune-telling method is different, she uses blood to tell fortunes, and she is astonishingly accurate. Look, the sitting one That is a master from our Yuanling Town, let's see what Xiangu will say?"

The middle-aged man’s explanation made Nong Fan even more curious. He had never heard of fortune-telling with blood. What kind of algorithm would it be? The fortune-teller picked up the bowl and put it under the blue gauze, sniffed it and said, "The blood is strong and warm, do you often drink strong alcohol recently?" It doesn't matter if she doesn't say it, but Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo couldn't help frowning when she said it. It turned out that the fortune teller's voice was hoarse and deep. "Yes, because things are not going well recently, and I'm in a bad mood, so I drink too much." The fat man replied.

"Your blood shows signs of dryness and heat. It is thick and light in color. Taste governs the body, qi governs longevity, and color governs luck. The things you said are not going well should be one of the two things about longevity and health." "Yes, yes, Xiangu is right. I am worried about my son's health. My son suffered from a strange disease a year ago. No matter how he treats it, he still doesn't get better. I ask Xiangu for advice." With a straight line, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that this fairy girl really lives up to her name. The fortune teller took out a yellow talisman from her bosom when she heard the words, covered the blood in the bowl with the yellow talisman, then filled the bowl with water, watched it for a long time before saying: "I can't do anything about your son, Within seven days, your son will definitely die, so prepare for the funeral."

The fat man was taken aback when he heard the words, he was expecting the fairy aunt to save his son, but he didn't expect the fairy aunt to say that his son would definitely die. "You fart, how could my son die? I think you're just a stickler, and I'm not going to hit you." The fat man took a long time to recover, and when he thought of the fortune-teller's words, he couldn't help but fly into a rage and stood up. Come and want to do it. "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The flowers ask the willows and the trees. The sickness is beyond cure, don't follow in the footsteps of self-cultivation." The fortune-teller was not panic, she took the time to say four unclear words.

Strange to say, the fat man had already picked up the chair, but when he heard what the fortune-teller said, he stopped his hands. He didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it to the fortune-teller, and left sadly. . Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Although the fortune-teller spoke cryptically, the two of them understood the meaning of the words.The four sentences that the fortune-teller said meant that the previous generation had a bad manner and that the next generation would follow suit. Hua Cong's three questions should refer to the business of going to brothels. It is estimated that the fat man's son was unprofessional and suffered from Hualiu disease. .Who can cure this disease?No wonder she directly asked Fatty to prepare for his son's funeral.The last sentence should be to persuade the fat man not to do better than this, so as not to follow in his son's footsteps.

Nong Fan said to Zhang Xiaoluo: "Senior sister, this person can guess so many things with blood, how about we try?" Zhang Xiaoluo already had this intention, she nodded and said: "Let me try first." As she spoke, she sat down in front of the fortune-teller and said with a smile, "Xianggu, the little girl is also here for fortune-telling." The fortune-teller glanced at Zhang Xiaoluo, took out another empty bowl, put it in front of Zhang Xiaoluo and said, "If you want to tell a fortune, donate three drops of blood." Zhang Xiaoluo didn't need the fortune teller to do anything, she took the knife and stabbed her finger, then poured three drops of blood into the empty bowl.

The fortune-teller brought the bowl closer and sniffed it, and said: "The blood gas is light and then thick, the color is light and then dark, the smell is strong and then light. The girl was seriously injured not long ago?" Zhang Xiaoluo was sucking her fingers, and when the fortune teller told her about her serious injury not long ago, she said with a "huh": "That's right, it's true, it was a serious injury. But, can you figure out what I want to ask?" ?" The fortune-teller put down the bowl, took out a yellow talisman and put it on the bloodstain, filled it with water and watched it carefully for a while, then said: "Blood melts when it meets water, and rises through the talisman. The girl's blood is not affected by the talisman. She must be a member of the Taoist school." .Well, it melts when it meets water, tender and sweet. The girl asked the word 'love', right?" Zhang Xiaoluo really didn't expect this fortune-teller to be so powerful. She not only revealed Zhang Xiaoluo's identity, but also revealed the secrets in her heart. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoluo couldn't help but blushed, approached the fortune-teller and said in a low voice: "Xiao Keep your voice down, don't let others know, I really want to ask about the future of my relationship, can you see the result?" The fortune-teller smiled: "Ask you where the source is, it's far away in the sky and close in front of you." "Keep your voice down." Zhang Xiaoluo's face became even more blush. "To tell you the truth, your blood is full of qi and color, and color governs luck, that is, the six characters of power, wealth, fate, share, blessing, and salary. Human blood governs the six levels of luck, and your blood color is pale and Thin, among the six lucks, it is allocated to the division of characters, I am afraid that there is a fate but no division." "What? So it's impossible for me to talk to him?" The fortune-teller's words made Zhang Xiaoluo's face change drastically. "Hehe, you are destined to go through strong winds and rains, with mixed joys and sorrows. Even if you are a lover, you are also doomed to stumble." Zhang Xiaoluo was immediately discouraged. If the fortune teller was right, wouldn't the future of his relationship be dark?Thinking of this, she looked back at Nong Fan, and seeing Nong Fan was also looking at her, she couldn't help blushing, and thought: "Oh, when will I express my feelings to him?" Turning around, Zhang Xiaoluo gave the fortune-teller a silver coin and said, "Your calculation is indeed very accurate. I wonder if there is a way to save it?" The fortune-teller took the silver coins and said, "For the future of the girl, I only give four sentences: life and death in ups and downs, love and hate day and night. Smile in the world of mortals melodiously, and think about you day and night." Zhang Xiaoluo was taken aback, what do these four sentences mean?It sounds half-understood, but I can't fully understand it. "It's my turn, Senior Sister, get up quickly, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that Zhang Xiaoluo had paid the money, Nong Fan couldn't help urging, knowing that she had already counted her fate. Hearing Nong Fan's urging, Zhang Xiaoluo withdrew his mind, got up and gave way, and said, "She is very accurate, you should try it too." After Nong Fan sat down, the fortune teller immediately said, "Young man, please donate three drops of blood." Like Zhang Xiaoluo, Nong Fan pricked his finger with a knife and dripped three drops of blood into an empty bowl. The fortune-teller took it up and sniffed it, but was unexpectedly speechless. Then she sniffed it again, but she still didn't speak eloquently. After sniffing it again, she put down the bowl and asked, "Young man, your blood is really special. Say Well, what do you want to ask?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked: "Don't you use blood to tell your fortune? Why do you still ask him?" The fortune-teller's face was embarrassed, and it took her a long time to say: "I have smelled blood countless times in my life, and this is the first time I smell such a strange blood today. I can't guess what he wants to ask." "His blood is strange? How is it so strange?" Zhang Xiaoluo was even more curious after hearing the fortune teller's mysterious words. The fortune-teller put the bowl containing Nongfan's blood in front of Nongfan and said, "Look." Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo took a closer look and couldn't help exclaiming: "What did you do?" It turned out that the few drops of blood dripped by Nongfan just now had completely dried up. The fortune-teller said, "Press and see with your fingers." Before Nong Fan could make a move, Zhang Xiaoluo pressed down with his fingers first. The blood that was originally dried up by Zhang Xiaoluo burst and splashed miraculously, leaving flower-like traces on the bottom of the bowl.Startled, Zhang Xiaoluo pulled back his finger and saw that there was a small piece of red film on his finger. "You, Junior Brother, you are...you are...you..." Not only was Zhang Xiaoluo speechless in surprise, even the crowd who watched screamed: "This guy is not human." "What? What's wrong with my blood? Don't you all do the same?" Seeing the people looking at him in horror, Nong Fan felt that they were puzzled.When he was young, he thought that the blood of all the people in the world looked like this, but today he was accused by everyone as an odd number, and he was a little confused. "What is the same? Who told you that everyone's blood is the same as yours? Don't you know that your blood is different?" Zhang Xiaoluo looked at Nong Fan with strange eyes. She couldn't imagine how she could be so dull and stupid people? "Everyone, come and see, there is a strange man." There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the troublemakers had already shouted loudly, hoping to attract more people to watch. As the number of onlookers gradually increased, the scene began to become chaotic. Many people pointed at Nongfan, as if looking at something foreign, and some said to others: "This kid's blood has membranes, it's really strange." With the rapid expansion of the crowd, more and more people pointed at Nongfan. With this kind of momentum, Nongfan was almost scared to the ground. Refers to, became a weirdo. The fortune-teller was a little out of control when she saw the scene, and she couldn't help but drink: "You are so noisy, you want to stop me from doing business, don't you?" The crowd finally didn't dare to speak anymore, although there were still a lot of murmurs in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out again. Judging from the situation, the status of the fortune-teller in everyone's hearts was really not low. After the scene calmed down, the fortune-teller asked Nong Fan: "Young man, I have learned to use blood to tell fortunes since I was a child. Although the blood on this person's body is simple, blood is the essence of a person, transformed by qi. A person's blood , contains the meaning of six luck and three stars. It is more direct than stargazing and asking divination. But since I debuted, I have never seen such a strange bloodline like yours. Dare to ask your relatives if Is it the same as you?" Thinking back, Nong Fan said: "Except for me in my family, my father, mother and grandfather are all different from me. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would never have thought that my blood would be different. I don't know if Fairy thought my blood was different. Is this blood bad or good?" The fortune-teller was silent for a while before she said, "I heard from my teacher that there are only three kinds of blood in the world that are the most special: the red and black black blood, whose power is overwhelming; the rust-smelling iron blood, whose overlord is invincible; Bloody red blood, the richest of the country. None of these three kinds of blood is rare, and it is rare to see it in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, your blood is more special. With my ability, it can only be regarded as your luck, and the others are all Unable to survey." Hearing that the fortune-teller could not predict his own destiny, Nong Fan also felt that it didn't matter. He was just playing for fun and didn't take it seriously.Since the fortune teller said that she can only measure the fortune, then ask the fortune. Thinking of this, he asked, "I want to ask how the fortune is these few days?" As soon as Zhang Xiaoluo heard it, he understood that the boy Nongfan asked about the fate because of the corpse king meeting. He and his master traveled the mountains and rivers along the way, and he was the only one who practiced hard every time he went to a rest. It seems that he is moving this time. for real. Hearing this, the fortune teller took out three talismans from her bosom. She pinched one first, shook her hand, and the yellow talisman immediately ignited spontaneously, and then she threw the flaming yellow talisman into the bowl.Before the magic talisman was burned out, he held another talisman and shook it, and the yellow talisman instantly ignited.After the two talismans were burnt to ashes, she covered the bowl with the remaining talisman and muttered something for a long time. Zhang Xiaoluo and Nong Fan listened, and thought: "What kind of spells are these? It's like nonsense, I have never heard of such spells, there are so many wonders in the world." After waiting for a long time, the fortune-teller suddenly turned her finger into a sword, pointed at the bowl and drank the yellow talisman.Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo looked at the bottom of the bowl, at this moment the ashes and bloodstains on the bottom of the bowl were already mixed together, spinning in the bowl without stopping, it was really miraculous. The fortune-teller ignored the hovering yellow talisman, picked up the kettle and poured water into the bowl, when the water was added, the hovering yellow talisman suddenly stopped and fell, covering the rotating water surface, the fortune-teller hurriedly took out a piece of paper from her bosom. The wordless yellow paper then covered the surface of the bowl. In a blink of an eye, the dry and wordless yellow paper seemed to be covered with a watermark, and a trace of a character was highlighted. Everyone was curious, everyone, Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a water mark with the word "knock" on the yellow paper. "What does this mean?" Nong Fan looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything.What does this word refer to?Is it to worship someone? The fortune-teller sighed: "This is my request to use the secrets of the heavens to ask the technique. The secrets of the heavens are so profound that I can't understand them, but the way of the secrets must be revealed in the future. Young people, the way of the secrets must be understood by yourself." Wu, others can't help you." Nong Fan looked at the fortune-teller with a puzzled face, and thought to himself: "Is it really so magical? I just told my fortune, but it was involved in the secret. I don't think this is a bluff?" Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say anything on the surface. After all, he knew that his blood was different after the fortune teller. Thinking of this, Nong Fan took out ten copper coins and handed them to the fortune-teller, a little shy: "Thank you Fairy for telling the boy's fortune, I wonder if the money is enough?" When the onlookers saw it, they immediately yelled: "Boy, do you look down on Xiangu? Xiangu always charges a silver dollar for fortune-telling, and you dare to tell fortunes with just a few dollars!" When Nong Fan heard this, his face turned red, he had no choice, he had no money, these ten copper coins were the red envelopes he received last time when he chased the corpse, and he only had so much money on him.He tugged Zhang Xiaoluo's sleeve beside him, motioning to cover him up.Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoluo smiled, it's a pity that he dared to join in the fun without money. Zhang Xiaoluo just wanted to take money out of his pocket, but the fortune teller waved his hand to stop him: "No need, little girl, I won't accept money this time." Nong Fan was taken aback: "You don't take money?" The fortune-teller nodded and said, "For the fates I can't calculate, I never charge money." Nong Fan was overjoyed, it was his wish to be able to tell fortunes for free, so he was not polite, put away the ten copper coins, and said with a smile: "In that case, the boy would like to thank Xiangu." As he spoke, he stood up, winked at Zhang Xiaoluo, and then wanted to leave. "Wait a minute." The two had just taken a step when the fortune teller suddenly stopped them. "What? Don't you want money?" Nong Fan was not happy when he heard it, thinking that the fortune teller was going back on his word and wanted to take money. The fortune-teller also stood up, took out a small empty bamboo jar from her bosom, walked up to Nongfan, bowed and said, "Although I can't calculate your fate, it's all due to your special blood. So... I have a request, please agree to it." Nong Fan glanced at the diabolo jar in the fortune-teller's hand, and suddenly realized what the fortune-teller meant.Without answering, he snatched the diabolo jar from the fortune-teller, walked to the table, picked up a small sharp knife, stabbed his finger, and dripped blood into the diabolo jar.After dripping several drops of blood, he sucked his finger and handed the diabolo jar to the fortune-teller. The fortune-teller didn't expect Nong Fan to donate blood so easily, and she couldn't help feeling a little fond of Nong Fan in her heart.After carefully putting away the bamboo jar, she asked, "May I ask your surname? Where do you live?" Hearing the fortune-teller's question, Nong Fan and Zhang Xiaoluo looked at each other, not knowing what the fortune-teller wanted to do.Seeing the puzzled faces of the two, the fortune teller hurriedly explained: "I'm curious about your bloodline, and I'll look it up in the book when I get back. Once I find out the ins and outs of your bloodline, I will definitely come and tell you." After learning about the fortune-teller's intentions, Nong Fan replied: "Mianzun's surname is Nong. My name is Nong Fan. My boy and my master live in Luye Village on the outskirts of Wanshan Town. But I'm often away from the village due to business." The fortune teller was straightforward, and replied: "It's okay, if you are not at home when I visit, I will wait until you come back." After finishing speaking, she bid farewell to the two of them, walked to the table by herself, and said to the crowd of onlookers while packing her things: "That's it for today, I have something urgent, everyone go away." As soon as the crowd of onlookers heard this, a few people came out of it and begged: "Xianggu, please tell our fortunes for us before leaving. Please." "We'll calculate later." The fortune-teller ignored the pleas of these people, packed her things, walked out of the crowd and walked away.Seeing the figure of the fortune-teller leaving, these people were stunned for a while, but they had been waiting for a long time.It was that strange person who let Xiangu go.Thinking of this, these people turned their heads and glared at Nong Fan, cursing in their hearts. Nong Fan was chilled by these people's stares. He understood that these people had blamed himself for the fortune-teller's departure, and it was better to leave now, so as not to cause trouble. Thinking of this, he touched Zhang Xiaoluo's shoulder, said in a low voice: "Senior Sister, let's get out of here quickly, Master should be back." Zhang Xiaoluo smiled: "The offender is outraged, you, okay, let's go back." Originally, Zhang Xiaoluo wanted to go for a walk again, but with Nongfan's current situation, he was afraid that he would be pointed and pointed at wherever he went. Although it was a pity, Zhang Xiaoluo followed Nongfan's wishes. The two squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly towards the inn. As soon as they entered the gate of the inn, they saw Xu Qiuyuan sitting alone at a dining table by the window in the lobby, drinking tea leisurely. Seeing a guest coming in, the waiter at the inn yelled and stepped forward to say hello: "The two guests, are you here for accommodation or for dinner?" Nong Fan pointed to Xu Qiuyuan and said, "We are with that one." The shop waiter looked back at Xu Qiuyuan, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are the ones the Taoist priest is waiting for. Please, the Taoist priest has been waiting for a long time." Zhang Xiaoluo was curious. He seemed to know Xu Qiuyuan from the waiter's tone. She asked, "Do you know that priest?" The waiter looked proud, raised his head and held his chest out, and said, "Who doesn't know Taoist Cao Xian here? We live in Ling County." "Do you know what he does?" Nong Fan was taken aback when he heard that, his master was a corpse exorcist, he never expected to be so revered, could it be that the other party didn't know his true identity? The store waiter's face darkened when he heard that, he looked at the two of Nongfan carefully, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you with the Taoist leader? Don't you know what the leader does?" Just as Nong Fan was about to explain, Xu Qiuyuan had already seen him and Zhang Xiaoluo over there. He waved his hands and shouted: "What are you doing? Don't come here yet." Seeing that Xu Qiuyuan seemed to be very familiar with the two young people in front of him, the waiter in the shop no longer doubted, and quickly invited Nongfan and Nongfan to take a seat.After pouring tea for the two of them, the waiter asked: "Just tell me what you want to eat, the shopkeeper has said, and he treats everything."
