After feeling dizzy for a while, Ye Tian discovered that a palm-sized turtle shell seemed to appear in his mind, with various patterns densely engraved on it.
When Ye Tian looked carefully, the turtle shell suddenly disappeared, and a line of seal script appeared in front of his eyes. However, this did not trouble Ye Tian. He had been learning seal script from an old Taoist since he was five years old.
"Li Shanyuan, a native of Huayin, Shaanxi, was born in 1880. He has three brothers and four sisters. He was a talented scholar in the middle of 1896. He studied under the forty-ninth generation successor of Mai Shenxiang..."
Looking at these fonts that appeared inexplicably in his head, Ye Tian was a little dumbfounded. He just glanced at the old Taoist priest, and he seemed to know a lot of things?
No matter how stupid Ye Tian is, he knows that this information must be related to the old Taoist priest, but whether it is true or false, Ye Tian has no way to tell.
"It must be a hallucination. How does this old guy look like a man over 100 years old?"
Although Ye Tian is naughty, his academic performance is still very good. He can do such a simple calculation naturally. He was born in 1880, and he is now 106 years old. Ye Tian can't believe it to death. The old man in front of him is actually so old.
age.
"Huh? Why don't you recite it?" The old Taoist, who was listening to Ye Tian reciting scriptures with his eyes closed and shaking his head, stopped when he heard the voice and opened his eyes dissatisfied.
Ye Tian didn't come back to his senses for a moment, so he casually found an excuse and said: "Ahem, master, I have memorized these things since I was five years old, don't you want to memorize them again?"
"You are too young. I can't teach you deeper things for fear of violating the harmony of nature. These are the foundations and must be laid well..."
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the old Taoist priest habitually stretched out his right hand to knock Ye Tian's head off, but after seeing his injury, he took it back angrily.
Although Ye Tian is young, he is very thoughtful. He did not tell the old Taoist the information in his mind, but said: "Master, I have been studying with you for several years, how about I help you tell your fortune today?
"
"just you?"
The old Taoist turned his head, glanced at Ye Tian sideways, and said, "I haven't learned how to walk yet, so I want to run away. How do you want to see it? Should you look at the hand lines or the face?"
The reason why the old Taoist asked this was because he had also taught Ye Tian some superficial knowledge, such as bones, complexion, body shape and other more profound things, but Ye Tian's age was not suitable for learning.
"Look at your face..."
Ye Tian sat up straight, looked at the old Taoist's face, and said: "Master, your upper body (from the hairline on your forehead to the eyebrow area) is tall, plump, square and broad. You must have been very proud when you were a boy, right?"
"Hey, do you have some skills?"
When the old Taoist heard Ye Tian's words, he laughed and said: "Your master, I was selected as a scholar when I was 16 years old. Who doesn't know about it from all over the country? Hey, I never told you about this? I really saw it myself.
of?"
Although the old Taoist had some doubts in his heart, he didn't take it seriously. The Mai Xiangfa he learned from was originally passed down from this lineage. It was not unusual for Ye Tian to be able to see some clues from his "Shang Pao"
.
"Holy shit, is it true?"
The old Taoist didn't pay attention, but the shock in Ye Tian's heart was indescribable. If this old guy had really been a scholar, then...then the information that appeared in his mind was also true?
Ye Tian took a deep breath, pretended to be a little magic stick, and said: "Of course I can see it, master, your eyebrows are long and thin, light and continuous, it is the appearance of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, they should be brothers
The three of them have two small moles at the corner of their right eyes, but they are a pair of luan and phoenix, so they are four sisters, seven in total, right?"
What I said before was more general, but Ye Tian said it more accurately. I wanted to see the old Taoist priest's reaction. If he said it right this time, it would prove that he was definitely not hallucinating.
"Oh, by the way, Master, I see that your hall is a little dark. Maybe you will suffer a bloody disaster today..."
Ye Tian didn't get this last sentence from the information in his mind, but he really saw that the old Taoist's Yintang was a bit cryptic, so he said it casually.
Who would have thought that before Ye Tian finished speaking, he only heard a "bang" in his ear. He was originally sitting on the chair, leaning on his two hind legs to support the dangling old man. After hearing Ye Tian's words, his body suddenly froze.
But he and the chair were thrown backwards.
The place where the two of them were sitting was originally the entrance to the front hall. It didn't matter that the old Taoist priest leaned back, but the back of his head touched the threshold of the hall. It was really a blue stone threshold.
When the old Taoist priest got up from the ground, his wooden hairpin had fallen off and his hair was scattered. His blood-covered head was not much better than Ye Tian's yesterday. It was exactly what Ye Tian said about the bloody disaster.
.
However, the old Taoist obviously did not take this injury to heart. Instead, he grabbed the stunned Ye Tian who was sitting next to him and said, "You brat, you...did you really infer what you just said by yourself?"
It is relatively easy to predict a person's fortune, misfortune, longevity, and longevity based on their appearance, but if you want to accurately calculate the other person's brothers and sisters, even an experienced person himself is unable to do so.
You must know that although the old Taoist priest comes from the lineage of Mai, and indeed has some real talents and practical knowledge, wars have continued for thousands of years, and the ancestor's physiognomy has been passed down to the present, but only three or four points are left, but the health-preserving skills have been completely preserved.
Come down.
When the old Taoist priests traveled around the world, they mostly used some Jianghu techniques, which are the four-character true formula of "touch, listen, trap, and scare".
"Touch" means to find out in advance the situation in the area where you want to set up a fortune-telling stall. It is crucial to find out the basic characteristics of people of different ages and whether there are more officials or ordinary people living nearby.
The so-called "listening" means to find ways to make the person asking for calculation speak first, talk more, and then find out what is on his mind and then prescribe the right medicine. "Trick" means to use ambiguous words to trick the other person's truth. Once you hear clues from the other person's words, you will immediately attack the person.
Follow the stick.
As for "scare", that is to make up some lies that offend the gods to scare the other party. When the other party is at a loss, he will naturally tell what he wants to know.
As soon as these four-character true secrets were revealed, coupled with some real skills of the old Taoist priest, he was called a living god in many places.
When the Japanese invaded China forty or fifty years ago, Li Shanyuan came to Maoshan to escape the war. Unexpectedly, he did not escape, and later returned to Shaanxi and settled down.
If he hadn't been labeled as a monster at the beginning of the turmoil, and he was a type of person who was determined to defeat him, the old guy wouldn't have been hiding here anymore, and he doesn't know where he could be living happily now.
However, as a direct descendant of Mai's lineage, the old Taoist priest is confident that in terms of physiognomy, there is absolutely no one in the country who can match him. After living for a hundred years, he has indeed never met anyone more powerful than him.
When it comes to judging people's brothers and sisters, even the old Taoist can tell them almost exactly from their faces, but he has lived for more than a hundred years and has rich life experience and fortune telling experience.
When Ye Tian was as old as Ye Tian, the old guy was still memorizing the Three-Character Sutra while shaking his head in private school. So after hearing Ye Tian's words, he was immediately shocked. Could this little kid be possessed by the Patriarch?
"Master, I can see that you are suffering from a bloody disaster, but... about your brothers and sisters, ahem, I heard it from your sleep talk..."
Seeing the old Taoist priest being so rude, Ye Tian was a little scared. He vaguely felt that the information displayed in his mind was something serious. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he subconsciously didn't tell the truth.
"Talking in your sleep? No wonder, let me tell you, how could your kid calculate so accurately?"
After hearing what Ye Tian said, the old Taoist priest let out a long sigh of anger. If Ye Tian had really calculated this, he would not be a genius, but a monster.
After cleaning the wound on his head, the old Taoist said: "You have learned to read people's words and expressions. You have entered this industry. Let me tell you about our lineage..."
The reason why the old Taoist priest accepted Ye Tian as his disciple was mainly because he was too bored in the remote mountains and wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve his boredom. Although he passed on his skills to Ye Tian a lot and took him to Maoshan Mountain to observe the Feng Shui and the local atmosphere, he still passed on the inheritance to himself.
The origin, but did not tell Ye Tianduo.
Seeing how clever Ye Tian is now, the old Taoist is moved. He is also over a hundred years old. He might just kick his legs and close his eyes at some point. The mantle of this ancestor will still be passed on.
"The ancestor of our Mai lineage, Taoist Mai, has been passed down to me for the fiftieth generation. Although many inheritances have been lost, in the fields of physiognomy and Feng Shui, no one in the country can match him...
…”
"Master, I know all this. Please tell me something I don't know..." Before the old man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Tian. He didn't know how many times he had heard these boastful words.
"You brat, in our line of work, you should talk less and observe more, you're impatient!"
The old Taoist glared at Ye Tian with dissatisfaction, and then said: "Not including you, I have accepted two disciples in total. Your senior brother is called Xun Xinjia. He went to Taiwan with his family in 1949, and now there is no news.
Already.
Your second senior brother is called Zuo Jiajun. He should be fifty this year, right? He has been with me the longest, but his family background was not good. In the 1960s, he went to Hong Kong.
Except for you, I haven't passed on my health-building skills to them, but neither of them is a person with shallow luck, and you may encounter them in the future..."
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest was also sighing. Although he had gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs and was used to life and death in the world, he had brought up these two disciples with his own hands. He was still filled with emotion when he thought of them.
"Master, do you still have overseas connections? If you find two senior brothers, won't you be able to go out and enjoy your life?"
After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Ye Tian shouted in a fuss. Now it is no different than ten years ago. Anyone whose family had overseas connections had to do everything possible to hide it, for fear of being labeled as a spy.
If anyone has overseas connections at this time, that would be a very enviable thing.
The uncle of one of Ye Tian's classmates came back from the United States to visit relatives and gave him a digital watch. The boy was so handsome that his nose was bubbling for a week. When he walked, he wanted to put a bandage on his hand and hang it on his chest.
"Find them? Even if I find them, I won't go out. The mountains and clear waters here are beautiful. I will retire here from now on..."
The old Taoist priest smiled and shook his head when he heard this. He had witnessed almost all the major events in modern China in his life, and he had already discovered the world. For a centenarian, wealth and splendor really had no appeal.
Suddenly remembering something, the old Taoist priest stood up: "Okay, we'll talk about this later. It's time to take you down the mountain to experience it. Go and get the Taoist robes from the box in the room..."
