The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 342 Golden Silkworm Gu ([-])
Xia Xiangxi thought of the Wu Niangniang she met in the coffin village before, she could hear voices within a few miles with a Gu, and nothing could escape her ears.

Presumably the grass hag with the golden silkworm Gu they are looking for now must be even more powerful.Or they've been in her grasp since they set foot on her turf.

Ye Chen didn't know the real name of the grass hag, and after asking all the way, he had a description of the grass hag, it was said that she was very ugly, but no one knew her real name, and they all called her Gu Niang.As for the valley where she lived, no one had ever been there.The legends are all left over from the 70s and [-]s.People in the past had a hard life, and they had to go to the mountains to cut firewood for cooking.After the living conditions improved, few people approached the valley over there.

About the Gu Niang, if you ask people in their forties, you can still ask some stories, and if you are younger, it is only a legend to be a Gu Niang.

When Xia Xiangxi listened to those stories, he also listened to what those people said as stories, and didn't believe much.

Ye Chen had heard the legend of Gu Niang before, and he found this place only by his divination.

It was also at this time that Xia Xiangxi realized that it was not appropriate to call Ye Chen a sorcerer. He inherited Maoshan Taoism, learned from a teacher, and was a disciple of a well-known Taoist temple in the local area.

After hearing this, Shi Wei didn't know why she found it interesting, she actually smiled, and casually said to Ye Chen, "So it's a fake Taoist priest!"

Ye Chen frowned, his face was not very good-looking.

Xia Xiangxi asked Shi Wei why she said that?Shi Wei changed her words and said that she was just talking casually.Xia Xiangxi didn't care either, she didn't care about Ye Chen's identity, it had nothing to do with her.

Ye Chen said that this is the end of what he can figure out. He violated the teacher's rules and harmed his morality. If he said that that person would take the right foot first, that person would definitely not take the left foot. Now it can't, it's a mistake More often than not.

Shi Wei laughed, and when she saw Ye Chen's cold eyes, she covered her mouth and turned her head to laugh.

Xia Xiangxi felt more and more strange, and asked Shi Wei why she was so happy?

Shi Wei didn't say anything at the time, she only told Xia Xiangxi after she settled down.It turned out that Shi Wei knew the Taoist temple where Ye Chen studied as a teacher.That Taoist temple is not big, but it is very famous because of a very powerful Taoist priest.Everything is advancing with the times now, just like some professional monks appeared in some monasteries. In order to pass on the Taoism to the Taoism that Ye Chen worshiped as a teacher, the Taoist temple accepts two types of apprentices. Class disciples are called the disciples of a school.There is another kind of disciples who also learn Taoism, are not bound by Taoism, and can live a normal life. This category is the disciples of the Three Daoyuan.

Xia Xiangxi immediately asked Shi Wei, "There is one courtyard and three courtyards, so what about two courtyards?"

Shi Wei replied: "This Erdaoyuan was originally dedicated to seeking Taoism, but the rules were broken in the middle, and it is no longer a real Taoist priest. It was a pity to drive down the mountain, and it was quite tasteless, so I stayed and assigned to the Erdaoyuan."

Shi Wei doesn't need to elaborate on the following, Xia Xiangxi can understand what the so-called broken rules are, but she thinks this is human nature, not as loud as Shi Wei's laugh.

Not long after, Ye Chen called Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei out for dinner.

They lived in a farmhouse-style hotel with a strong local flavor, and some vegetables were grown in the yard. The large yard shared by the whole hotel and the pergola with thatched roof were placed with the most common dwarf grass in the countryside. Square tables and benches are the place to eat.

It is said that when this farmhouse encounters the peak tourist season, the price of accommodation will be very high, so when they moved in, the young lady proprietress said that they had made a profit, paying the lowest price and enjoying the highest accommodation conditions.

Even though Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei are girls, their ability to endure hardship is extremely strong. They didn't intend to live in such a good place before, and Ye Chen chose such a place.When Shi Wei asked the price, she was still taken aback by the [-]% off price that was said to be in peak season, and pulled Xia Xiangxi to turn around and leave. It was Ye Chen who said coldly that he would like to stay, so he stayed.

"A fake Taoist priest, not a rich second generation, what kind of garlic is he pretending to be?" Shi Wei complained to Ye Chen, while Xia Xiangxi laughed and said that there is a price to be paid for pretending to be garlic. The wallet will lose weight.

It was only at night that Xia Xiangxi knew why Ye Chen chose this place.It turned out that he wanted to do divination and needed a secluded environment, so it was only suitable to do such things in the yard, because he wanted to set fire to the turtle shell.

This is the first time Xia Xiangxi has seen this kind of divination. She knows that there are lottery, chicken, bird, bird, water, astrology, and card divination.This turtle shell divination is considered to be the oldest method of divination, and it is also one of the most primitive methods.The origin of divination, "divination" means observation, and "divination" means to burn the shell of a turtle, and it is believed that the shape of the cracks can predict good and bad fortune.

After Ye Chen finished burning the tortoise shell, Xia Xiangxi asked him what he found, but he shook his head helplessly.Xia Xiangxi knew that his calculation was not going well, so she said that she would also do the calculation.

Anyone who knows how to count knows that you can only count once. If you encounter an unlucky hexagram, everyone will have a rebellious mentality. If you don't want to believe it, you will be like throwing dice for luck. , But in the end, the more you gamble, the more you lose.The most taboo thing about fortune-telling and divination is repetition.However, this repetition is a taboo for the same person to repeat, but it does not mean that other people cannot count.

Xia Xiangxi divination uses gossip.

There are generally three methods of gossip calculations: the oldest method of hanging 50 yarrow roots is extremely complicated, called Dayan method; the "Najia method" created by Jingfang in the Han Dynasty, called money class among the people, and it starts with throwing three copper coins 6 times One hexagram is very popular in the market now; there is also a method of image and number represented by "Plum Blossom Yishu" created by Shao Kangjie in the Song Dynasty. This method is the simplest and the most profound.

For fortune-telling in gossip, you need to use tools to form the hexagrams.In ancient times, people used copper coins, and grandpa also used copper coins. The copper coins have long been touched by grandpa.Xia Xiangxi couldn't find copper coins in front of him, so he looked for something that was within easy reach, and the simple thing was to count with three coins.

Xia Xiangxi washed his hands, found three one-yuan coins, put the coins in the palm of his hand, closed his hands, held the coins, and thought about the measured thing for about 1 minute, so that the aura of the measured thing was connected with the coins, and then shook it several times , sprinkle the coins on a clean table, shake six times in a row, sprinkle six times, and record the number of coins facing up each time.For example: the first time one back is up is recorded as 1, the second time two backs are recorded as 2, the third time three backs are recorded as 3, the fourth time no backs are up is recorded as 0, and the fifth time is one back again is 1, and the sixth and three backs are recorded as 3.

As a result, Xia Xiangxi calculated the travel hexagram, the Yang line in the hexagram and the line goes up to nine, the bird burns its nest, the traveler laughs first, then wails; the cow dies in Yi.The hexagram is the main ominous.
