Chapter 257: Invite the Immortal Master

It's rare to see something strange.

The old concierge of the Qiao family was a rough man. He grew up in the countryside. As such, he had many encounters with such "wandering immortals". Although he blindly believed in their words, he was also familiar with them.

If there is any difficulty with the fortune teller, it is simply a matter of money.

Therefore, the old man was not anxious and flustered, but just asked for help with a smile.

"No! Sir, it's not even noon now, and there's still a whole day left. I can take the time to take a look at it, and it won't delay anything."

Li Zhengxi turned a deaf ear and continued to clean up the hexagram stall.

The old concierge's eyes followed him all the time, and he said, "Sir, please help me. I'm really worried about things at home."

It would have been better not to say anything. As soon as he finished speaking, the fortune teller snorted coldly: "Ha! Are you anxious? I think nothing happened. If you are really anxious, why don't you come over by yourself?"

Before you get started, you should first consider your intention, and before speaking, you should understand your intention!

Li Zhengxi followed Liu Yansheng's instructions and said these words intact.

When the old concierge heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he no longer had the playful smile he had just now.

But, did Li Zhengxi say anything?

He actually didn't say anything!

Not to mention that they stepped on the plate in advance and deliberately set up a trap for the Qiao family. Even if a stranger did come, these words would still be as effective as snake oil.

Most of the time when looking at things, asking divination, and destroying evil spirits and averting disasters, one speaks on behalf of others.

A loving father asks about his beloved daughter, an old mother asks about her husband, a young wife asks about her husband, and a dutiful son asks about his hospital bed.

In other words, as soon as these words are spoken, more than half of the pure fools will be fooled.

What's more, if someone really wants to make things clear to him, he won't open his mouth like an old man.

Even if he was blinded, the person who came here really saw things for himself, and the "golden" point of old Jianghu could still make the words without actual direction come true.

You speak with sincerity just to bluff people.

You have to scare people first before you can play hard-to-get tricks.

Li Zhengxi packed his things without any hesitation, and without any unnecessary words, he turned around and left.

At this time, the Qiao family's concierge became panicked and hurriedly chased the fortune teller two steps away and grabbed the fortune teller's arm.

"Sir, you are an expert, you are really an expert! This is indeed not my business, but my master's business. He is too busy and can't get away, so he asked me to come over and invite you. Don't be picky. Please help!”

Li Zhengxi stopped and sighed: "Alas! It's not that I'm sincere and it's hard for you, but it's that my three hexagrams are full today and I can't forget about it anymore."

The Qiao family's concierge "went to the wrong road" and quickly said: "Sir, don't worry, my master is a decent man and will never lose out on your hard work."

"This has nothing to do with that." Li Zhengxi shook his head and said, "Three hexagrams a day, this is the rule set by the Immortal Master since I learned Taoism. If I break the precept, the Immortal Master will punish me; if I force it on your boss, if It doesn’t work, and it even smashed my sign. No, no!”

"Don't, don't, don't, then let's not worry about it, okay?"

"Are you not counting the fortune again?"

"Hey! It's not a matter of fortune-telling in the first place." The concierge of Qiao's family looked left and right on the street, lowered his voice, and said, "Actually... my master's house has been a bit noisy recently, maybe there is something wrong. It’s something clean, and I want your husband to help drive away evil spirits.”

Li Zhengxi immediately frowned and asked in a low voice: "How long have you been making trouble?"

"It's... almost half a month."

"Is everyone okay?"

"It's okay for now."

"Hiss!" Li Zhengxi took a breath, "That's weird, that's weird!"

The concierge of the Qiao family said bitterly: "Everyone knows it's strange, so I wanted to ask Mr. to have a look."

Unexpectedly, Li Zhengxi flatly refused.

"This won't work! There are specialties in the arts. When I studied Taoism, I didn't value much. I only learned the subject of divination. Evil spirits are causing trouble in Yangzhai. This is no joke. My immortal master must personally take action. "

"Okay, okay!" The Qiao family's concierge quickly agreed, "Then - may I ask, Sir, where is the Immortal Master now?"

Li Zhengxi pondered and said: "My immortal master, in the past few days, his soul has left his body and is discussing the Tao with the ancient immortal Ding Lingwei. I can't tell you where he is, so as not to miss the practice of 'beautiful body and soul'."

"Then when will the old man come back?" "Not necessarily, it could be a month at most, or seven or eight days at a minimum."

"Isn't this too long? Sir, can you think of a way to get the old man back as soon as possible?" The concierge of the Qiao family suddenly thought of something and said, "My master has funded the renovation of many Taoist temples. The Immortal Family should Can you understand that?"

"Oh? Have you ever done such a kind act?"

Li Zhengxi thought for a moment and then said: "If this is really the case, you can really try it. Come on, follow me!"

After that, the two of them walked around and found a secluded corner at the southern edge of Aikengdian.

After looking at the direction, he felt that there was no problem, so Li Zhengxi ordered: "Go and buy two red candles, a stick of incense, and find three red bricks. Face north and grab a handful of soil from the ground and come to me. The sooner the better. !”

The concierge of the Qiao family agreed repeatedly and ran away.

After about half a stick of incense, the old man came back with all the necessary things and listened to the master's instructions.

Li Zhengxi muttered words, built three red bricks into a door shape, sprinkled a handful of earth on the "doorway", offered a handful of incense "in front of the stage", and lit red candles on both sides.

After finishing this task, Li Zhengxi turned his head and asked: "What is your master's name?"

"Uh...this..." The old concierge looked confused.

"Tsk! Do you want to see it or not?"

The old concierge thought that even if it was not for the sake of the Qiao family, but for his own life, he had to tell the truth, so he said: "Think about it, my father's surname is Qiao, and his given name is Qimin - sir, you'd better not talk about this matter. Make a statement."

"What am I saying?" Li Zhengxi looked unhappy, "Don't I have to tell the immortal master who is looking for him!"

"That's right, that's right." The Qiao family's concierge quickly apologized.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhengxi took out a prepared piece of yellow paper from his sleeve. It was crooked and there was something written on it.

I saw him holding the yellow form and circling the "red brick door" and two red candles three times each.

"The sky is full of spirits, the earth is full of spirits, the fairy boy of Tianfu hears it clearly, the disciple Zhuochen encounters evil spirits, please kowtow to the immortal master to please return the god..."

Further on, the words are unclear, maybe because I forgot the words I memorized in advance, but it doesn't matter.

Under the smoke and fire, the Qiao family's concierge felt embarrassed at first. How could he have the time to listen carefully to what the husband said?

All in all, at the end, I saw Li Zhengxi burning the prepared yellow paper on the candle flame and placing it "in front of the door."

A fire rose and three streaks of smoke drifted out.

When the yellow paper was completely burned out, Li Zhengxi picked up some black ash from the ground, placed it on his left palm, and rubbed it repeatedly in a serious manner.

The concierge of the Qiao family didn't know what was going on, so he came forward with great curiosity.

I saw that the palm of the fortune teller's left hand was getting darker and darker as it was smeared, but there were a few places that were never stained with any dirt.

A word gradually appeared on the palm of my hand - three!

When Li Zhengxi saw this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and turned to smile at the Qiao family's concierge.

"Yes, my immortal master told me to come back in three days."

"Really?"

"Thankfully, your boss donated a lot of money to the Taoist temple and formed a good relationship, so I got the help of my immortal master."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir! Then this money——"

Li Zhengxi quickly waved his hand and said, "If you don't have money, you don't need to give it to me."

The concierge of the Qiao family nodded and asked: "Then I will go back and tell my master that it will be fine after three days?"

"That's what I said, don't wait stupidly!" Li Zhengxi scolded, "You have to take a bath, burn incense, and fast! For these three days, no killing is allowed in the yard. In addition, if there is a woman in the house who is menstruating, she must be asked out quickly. I can’t stay in the house anymore.”

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell the master right now." The Qiao family's concierge said, "Then let's meet in three days?"

Li Zhengxi finally gave his instructions: "Just wait at home honestly. You can't go out or see outsiders. Remember, remember!"
