Chapter 53 The Contest of Immortals

The professor who claimed to be the city's "hard-spoken judge" laughed disdainfully when he heard that Xu Banxian was going to compete with him.

He said condescendingly: "Mr., it's not that I don't dare to make gestures with you. It's really unnecessary. I admit that your folk masters do have some skills, so don't make trouble!"

After finishing speaking, he greeted Lao Qian Ding Wuxing Nail, and was about to leave for the coffin to be cremated.

"Old blind man, I'm not as educated as you, but you're cremating the deceased before you even figure out the horoscope of the deceased's birthday, isn't it a bit deceitful!"

Xu Banxian was not in a hurry, and his voice was not loud, but it became a little unacceptable to Professor Zhang's ears.

He turned back again, and said impatiently: "Old man, it will be boring if you keep messing around like this. His son gave me the horoscope time, and his mother said it himself. Why didn't I understand it?"

Seeing that the two of them were arguing, all the relatives and friends of Lao Qian's family gathered around him.

Xu Banxian lowered his head and waved his hands: "Don't say that his son told you, even if his mother said it, it may not be right!"

Professor Zhang was a little annoyed, and greeted, "Old Qian, I don't want to talk nonsense. If the time for cremation of the coffin is not in time, it will ruin your family's future fortune, don't blame me!"

Lao Qian was a businessman, he was quite frightened when he heard this, and just about to open his mouth, Xu Banxian spoke a step ahead of him.

"Son, did your mother tell you that she was born at noon on the seventh day of August in 1932?"

Old Qian's words were still stuck in his mouth, so he choked back at that time, nodded and said: "Yes, master, how do you know, did you listen to what these friends said?"

Xu Banxian'er ignored him, and continued: "Your mother gave birth in Linyi, Shandong, and it happened that the neighbors were also giving birth at that time, so the midwife should bring them together!"

What he said was too mysterious, Lao Qian shook his head and said, "Oh, I don't know how my mother was born!"

"He's right, that's what happened!" It was an old man sitting behind the crowd who spoke.

As soon as the voice came out, everyone turned their heads and looked back at the same time.

Old Qian shouted: "Master Seventh Uncle!"

The old man was dozing off while sitting on the chair, when he heard Xu Banxian'er's words, he suddenly woke up.

He leaned on the ground with his stick, beckoned to the juniors around him to help him up, then went to Xu Banxian'er's side, looked him up and down, and asked:
"Except for his parents and us, no one in the younger generation knows about Xiuqin's birth. Which of our family members are you?"

The bearded man said triumphantly from the side, "The old man is not your family member, he is the most powerful fortune teller in the whole country!"

"A fortuneteller? Can you figure this out?"

The relatives who were onlookers also began to whisper, that Professor Zhang was naturally 180 unconvinced. The academics have looked down on these charlatans since ancient times, and they also thought that the blind man in front of him was a charlatan. one, said:
"Okay, old man, you are really capable. You can even figure out on which kang the 89-year-old deceased was born, so let's compete with each other!"

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Banxian finally grinned happily:
"Okay, you are decisive, we two are better than you, whether to judge people or things or money or things, you have the final say!"

"What a big tone!" Professor Zhang glanced at Xu Banxian'er and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you if the decision is too difficult, why don't you do the math first, how many people are there in this room now?"

The professor knew he was blind, so asking him to guess the number of people in the room was really a good question!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Banxian opened his mouth and came.

"There are 37 people in the house now!"

As soon as this remark came out, Professor Zhang laughed at that time.

"You scared me so much that I almost lost my mind. There are 33 people who will participate in the funeral tonight. Excluding the daughter-in-law who is keeping watch outside, including you newcomers, there are now a total of 36 people in the house!"

Lao Qian also came forward to testify, "Professor Zhang is right. There are 36 people in the room, and they are all surrounded here. I just thought about it and it's really good!"

Full of confidence, the bearded man began to count the number of people in front of everyone. He thought that Xu Banxian would definitely win, but after counting twice, it turned out that there were actually 36 people!

He frowned, lowered his voice and approached Xu Banxian'er and said, "Old Immortal, did you get up too early and didn't wake up? How could this be wrong, there are indeed 36 people in the room!"

Professor Zhang gloated and was about to ridicule a few words, Xu Banxian turned his head to the right in a calm manner and said:
"The girl in the green dress is standing in the corner of the back row. You are three months pregnant. You will go to the funeral later, so don't follow along!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked over there instantly, and sure enough there was a young girl in green loose clothes standing in the second row. Hearing what Xu Banxian said, the old man next to him asked in surprise:
"Girl, you, are you pregnant?"

Seeing everyone staring at her, the girl in the green dress blushed up to her ears, and simply gritted her teeth and confessed:
"Father, I just want to be with him! Now that I have it, don't stop us!"

"What? Little bastard, you are going to rebel!"

The old man trembled when he heard this, he picked up the broom in the corner and was about to beat him, the frightened girl turned around and ran away, the father and the father chased after each other, and after a long time of fuss, they ran out of the door again.

As soon as the two of them left, everyone in the room was dumbfounded. The bearded man stared at the boss, gave Xu Banxian a thumbs up, and said to Lao Qian:
"How about it, counting the three-month-old child in the belly, are there 37 people in the house?"

"This" Old Qian was also confused, looking at Professor Zhang, not knowing what to do.

Professor Zhang's angry old face turned green, and he continued to argue:

"Can you still calculate how many months she is pregnant? You are really a fairy, you must have got the news somewhere, it doesn't count!"

Xu Banxian didn't argue, nodded and said: "Okay, this one doesn't count, you continue to write questions!"

Professor Zhang pinched his waist, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was about to get serious. He said to Lao Qian, "Old Qian, this time you give me a question, and I will calculate it with him!"

Old Qian looked at Xu Banxian'er in embarrassment, then at Professor Zhang, and said for a while:
"Well, anyway, my wife is not in the house anyway, so I'll ask a question that only I know! Can the two masters figure out how much private money I have saved this month? This is my secret, passbook It’s hidden in my pocket, but no one else will know it!”

The onlookers couldn't help bursting into laughter when they heard his test questions. Professor Zhang said hello, asked for three one-yuan coins with a straight face, and tossed them on the ceremony table.

Seeing Xu Banxian'er standing still wearing sunglasses, Old Qian asked in a low voice:

"Master, why don't you start counting?"

The bearded man smiled "haha", put his arm around Xu Banxian'er's shoulder and said:
"My old fairy is a super computer, and he pretends in his heart that he has already got results!"

The onlookers started talking again, but the majority still didn't believe it.

There are quite a few people who can tell fortune-telling, but most of them can only vaguely tell the direction of some things. It is almost impossible to imagine such a precise number.

Professor Zhang is also under a lot of pressure. Hearing what the bearded man said, he was sweating anxiously. After he finished tossing the coin, Laoqian asked the two of them to whisper to themselves the amount of his deposit respectively, and listened to their results. Finally, Lao Qian was dumbfounded on the spot!
Eyes filled with disbelief, he announced to everyone:
"Professor Zhang is really decisive, and his reputation is well-deserved. He is right. The amount of my personal savings this month is [-] yuan!"

After hearing this, everyone started to applaud Professor Zhang in disbelief!
After the applause died down, Xu Banxian gave a "giggle" smile, "Son, what you say is useless, open the passbook on your waist and show it to everyone!"

The old money agreed, and while reaching out to take out, he said:
"Master, don't believe me. I'm absolutely fair. I've saved a lot of money this month!"

After speaking, he took out his passbook and opened the latest page for everyone to see.

Seeing their blank eyes, they realized that something was wrong, and turned it over to see that the passbook of [-] yuan had been completely cleared this morning!
At this time, it happened that the daughter-in-law who was burning paper outside opened the door and entered the house. Seeing Laoqian holding the passbook with a look of incredulity on his face, he reprimanded:

"Old Qian, why are you so dazed when you're not doing business, don't fiddle with your passbook, do you think I don't know about your little coffers?"

Lao Qian was not surprised by this, but opened his mouth wide and gave Xu Banxian a thumbs up.

"This master is amazing, what he told me just now is just one, zero words!"

　good night!
