I was an alchemist in those years

I smiled without saying a word, and pulled Yue Qianling to leave. After walking for a while, Yue Qianling suddenly stopped and looked at me thoughtfully.

"18 yuan... move a little forward! You, you knew that he would lose money, so you gave him 18 yuan, and you also knew that he would fall down, so you let him sit forward! You...you Really count?!"

I shook my head and said solemnly.

"What are you talking about? He told my fortune, not me. How could I know in advance?"

Although I didn't admit it, Yue Qianling's expression was extremely surprised. It could be seen that what happened just now completely surprised her.

"Young man, please stay!" The voice came from behind, thick and deep.

I turned around and saw Zhao Banxian standing behind him panting, beside him was an old man, not tall, thin like a monkey, with a hunchback, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Brother Six, this is the young man." Zhao Banxian pointed at me and said.

"Although the ghost market is mixed with three religions, nine streams, dragons and snakes, it has been a hundred years since its opening. Without rules, it will not be a square. Ghost markets also have ghost market rules. The little brother saved Zhao blind man's life without saying a word. If you leave without reporting, it’s too disrespectful to the ghost market.”

The hunchbacked old man's voice was like a bell, and it was the person who told me to stop just now.

I smiled and said politely.

"My surname is Qin, and my first name is Yanhui. I'm going to visit the ghost market with my friends. Please forgive me for breaking the rules."

"Don't worry, I'm still looking for it, and the good ones haven't been displayed yet. Sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving." The hunchbacked old man had an inexplicable majesty, as if no one could change what he said.

There are tea stalls in the ghost market, all of which are large bowls of tea. When you are tired from walking around the ghost market, you can drink tea and chat inside, or play with antiques. Even though it is early in the morning, the tea stalls are very lively.

I thought about it for a while and Yue Qianling walked in. The people inside seemed to know the hunchbacked old man. When they saw him coming in, they all stood up and nodded to say hello. They seemed to be someone with some background.

"Sixth Master, good morning!"

The name is domineering enough, but no matter how much Yue Qianling followed behind, she didn't find anything special about this thin old man.

After the old man sat down, I could see his face clearly. The old man’s skinny face was full of red and plump, and he looked like a lucky person. When the old man served tea, I realized why he was called the Sixth Lord, because the old man’s There are actually six fingers on the left hand.

"Young man, is your Geng this year?"

"Sixth Grandpa, you are always polite, so you don't need to be expensive..."

"Who is being polite to you? You, a foreigner, ran to the ghost market to point fingers, and ran here to act wildly in front of so many people of all ages. If you slapped blind Zhao in the face, you slapped me in the face. You slapped me. The face is like slapping the face of everyone in this ghost city. In the past, the two of you should not even think about going out today. According to the rules, you are all red, do you know what that means?"

"Why do you talk like this? You still respect you when you are old. Why are you disrespectful? Why do you want us to make trouble? He told the fortune and we gave you money. Who did you provoke?" Yue Qianling Never got angry, stood up and said it out loud.

"When will it be the woman's turn to speak in the ghost market?" The old man's tone was very light, but his eyes were stern, and he glanced at Yue Qianling lightly. "If you don't speak clearly today, don't leave."

"What... what is Yilihong?" Yue Qianling saw that the old man was domineering, and everyone in the tea stall seemed to respect him, and slowly sat down again.

"The rules of the ghost market. All the people in the ghost market are lined up. They must be a mile long and hold wooden sticks. You have also heard that the ghost market sells good products. In the past, if you report to the government or make trouble. If you can't live, you have to crawl through it, hit the parts below the waist, and if you can crawl out for a mile, you can save your life. It’s a blood stain, so it’s called Yilihong.” Someone in the tea stall explained the matter solemnly.

I know this is alarmist talk, now who would dare to blatantly line up and beat people up in pairs, not to mention who would honestly crawl for a mile, but looking at the situation, if I don’t say a reason, I really don’t want to go out , not to mention that now Yue Qianling dared not say anything that was really frightening.

"21, 21 years old this year." I said calmly.

"Have you heard of the name Yan Liuzhi?" The old man raised his left hand intentionally or unintentionally, and the extra sixth finger is now particularly obvious.

"No... I really haven't heard of it." I shook my head sincerely.

"Yan Liuzhi... I've heard it. When I was young, I heard my dad often say that Yan Liuzhi is an expert in the Jiuyanqiao ghost city. I heard that fortune-telling and feng shui are good at everything. Now and It was different in the past, there were many people who believed in this before, and they all wanted to ask Yan Liuzhi to do the math, but later...then gradually, they didn’t hear any more about Yan Liuzhi, probably because not many people believe in it now.” Yue Qian Ling suddenly raised her head and said seriously, she suddenly saw the old man's left hand and was startled. "You, are you supposed to be Yan Liuzhi?!"

"Yan Tongshou is me, Yan Liuzhi, that's my previous name. I have been in the mountains for decades, and I have long since given up numerology and fortune-telling. Hehe, I never expected to meet a real colleague today. Qin Yanhui, I The old thing has been resting for decades, come on, today our grandparents are gesticulating, whether it is a mule or a horse, they are pulled out for a walk, and when it comes to the Tao, you are the benefactor of Zhao Blind, if you can’t say it... "Yan Tongshou put down the big bowl of tea in his hand heavily.

"Let her go first, don't dare to make gestures with the seniors, since I provoked the matter, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with her." I pointed to Yue Qianling and said.

"Under the age, you are quite loyal, good job." Yan Tongshou replied disapprovingly with a faint smile. "Heroes to save the beauty is in the wrong place, and I don't even look at the place, no one talks to you about the conditions."

"I'm not leaving yet. Let's see what you can do to me. Let me tell you, my dad is..."

I quickly tugged on Yue Qianling's clothes and feet, the ghost market is mixed with dragons and snakes, and Yue Leiting is a gangster, in case there are his enemies here, knowing that Yue Qianling is his daughter, I really want to move in the middle of the night Come on, I can get away with it, but it is really troublesome to protect Yue Qianling comprehensively.

Yan Tongshou ignored Yue Qianling and said casually while drinking tea.

"Let's be courteous first and then soldiers. Blind Zhao is ashamed to show his face with half-knowledge, and I hope you don't take it to heart."

"Blind Zhao? He... isn't he blind?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.

"There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people beyond people. I don't know the heights of the sky and the depth of the earth. Half a pot of water is bluffing and deceiving in the ghost market. When I meet an expert, I dare to speak boldly. Do you think he is blind?"

Zhao Banxian sat beside him respectfully, with his head buried very low.

"Don't tell lies in front of the real person. The signature is a beautiful woman. Don't worry about it. If you are happy, you will draw the lottery. How can you calculate his fortune today." Yan Tongshou asked.

"There is a black line between his eyebrows, which is a line of sky, which is a sign of misfortune from the sky. There are sores on the orchid, and the wealth will be damaged. It is a sign of bankruptcy. The food warehouse is swollen, and there are verbal disputes. The basement collapsed, and the mountains and forests are messy. A dilapidated situation." I said with confidence.

Yan Tongshou turned his head to look at Zhao Banxian and nodded for a long time.

"I didn't expect you to be able to calculate misfortune and fortune based on the signs of the zodiac on his face at a glance. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have seen it."

"The signature is a beauty with a beautiful face, a beautiful girl, a beautiful woman, a peach and plum, and a lucky man. In fact, I didn't draw the signature, but he accidentally dropped it. The so-called luck is related. I just combined him with the signature. It's just an explanation of the signs of the palace." I smiled calmly.

"Then how do you know that he will compensate exactly 18 yuan, and how do you figure out that you can avoid the falling bricks by moving half a step forward?" Yan Tongshou raised his teacup and frowned.

"Beautiful, don't worry about your arms. His basement collapsed, the mountains and forests are messy, it's a dilapidated situation. Next to him is porcelain, which happens to be a picture of a lady. It means that he will break the porcelain, and the fragments happen to be in his arms."

Someone at the tea stall started whispering. Zhao Banxian rubbed his chest in doubt, and slowly took out a piece in his hand. It should have been broken and splashed into his clothes when he fell just now. The pattern on it was the broken head of a maid. .

Everyone was stunned, even Yue Qianling was too surprised to speak.

"He has a sore on his orchid, and his wealth will be damaged. It is a sign of bankruptcy. When he showed me the signed document, he accidentally scratched the sore. The sore broke the fortune, which means that the time for bankruptcy has come. The peach blossoms are in the evening, and the peach is a beggar. , Li is the eighteenth son, exactly 18 yuan, and at dawn and dusk, he will be asked for 18 yuan." I said lightly while drinking tea.

Zhao Banxian stroked the beard under his chin in amazement, and the expression on his face became sincerely convinced.

"As for the last sentence, the auspicious person is at ease, the black line between his eyebrows and the sky is a sign of disaster from the sky, the auspicious person is in front, it is not about me, it is the direction, and the disaster can be avoided by moving forward."

Yan Tongshou recalled what I just said, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at me again.

"How old did you say you were just now?"

"I really don't know how old I am. According to the old man, I am 21 this year."

Yan Tongshou frowned, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and suddenly he shook his head and smiled miserably.

"Twenty, I'm only 20 years old. I'm 76 this year. It's a waste of time. People call me Yan Liuzhi, and they say I can pinch and count. I've counted for more than 70 years, but I can't compare to you, a 20-year-old child. It's a waste of time." Yes, it's a waste of time."

"He...is he right?" Yue Qianling asked in surprise with her mouth open.

"Looking at people and being able to judge people's misfortunes and blessings, I, Yan Liuzhi, feel ashamed of such an ability." Yan Tongshou turned his head sadly and said to Zhao Banxian. "From now on, put away your relentless signboard, and you deserve it. He is the real renouncer."
