At 3:20 in the afternoon, Liang Lei and I arrived at the second client’s home.
It is also a boutique villa area, which is more prosperous than the area where the first customer lives.
This is exactly what Liutang said to me: there is no shortage of wealthy people who come to the fortune-telling hall to make appointments.
What I consider to be a sky-high fortune-telling fee is, in the eyes of this group of wealthy people, nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Well, maybe not even a dime.
Liang Lei drove the car into the villa compound. The lean old man with a cane had been waiting for a long time.
He was wearing an old-style gray shirt, loose trousers, and a pair of sandals.
The first impression he gives is extremely simple, so simple that it is difficult to imagine that he is a rich man with a net worth of over 100 million.
The hair is sparse, white and dazzling.
His complexion turned yellow, showing signs of illness.
Liang Lei stepped forward to say hello and introduce himself.
Old Man He led us into the living room with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two. Let's sit down for a cup of tea and something to eat. We'll talk about fortune telling later." The old man asked the nanny to bring tea and various pastries.
Liang Lei and I ate a few pieces casually. Hey, it tasted really good.
"Three years ago, I went to the Kunlun headquarters to calculate my wife's life span." Old Man He said to himself: "The fortune teller said that the life span is not more than seven years, and it is difficult for the old woman to live to be seventy years old."
"She passed away in May this year at the age of sixty-nine."
"I never made it past seventy."
Old Man He said with a sad expression: "As soon as she left, my body and bones became worse day by day, and my energy and spirit were gone."
"I dream every night. I dream that my soul returns to the underworld. I dream that my old lady calls me to come over and accompany her."
"I wake up every night, tossing and turning."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it. I don't want to die just yet."
Liang Lei consoled him: "I think about you day and night, and you have dreams every night. After decades of companionship, it is normal for you to have difficulty accepting it for a while."
Old Man He signaled the nanny to bring over a pack of cigarettes, slowly opened it, handed it to Liang Lei and me, and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but I just can't let go of such a big business like mine."
"Starting from my grandfather's generation and struggling till now, we have achieved today's glory."
"It may be difficult to compare with the top ten richest families in Kyoto, but all this wealth is the accumulation and hard work of three generations, and I have gained it in my lifetime."
"If you don't bring them alive, if you don't take them with you after death, I can't bear to watch them be destroyed."
Old Man He lit the smoke tremblingly: "I have three sons and one daughter."
"The sons do not live up to their expectations, eat, drink, whore, gamble, and are addicted to all five kinds of poisons, just to enjoy themselves."
"I beat them, scolded them, and trained them. I hope they can be of some use, have a better memory, and take over my burden."
"It turned out to be in vain, and it almost made me angry to death."
"My only daughter is very smart and has a lot of energy and drive, which makes me very fond of her."
"But the water thrown out by my married daughter cannot be handed over to her to inherit my family property."
"As a result, this matter became a huge stone pressing on my chest, making me gasp like an ox and have difficulty breathing."
"So I made an appointment for myself at the Kunlun headquarters to see how long I can live and whether my fortune has begun to decline."
Old Man He puffed out smoke and said: "I believe in the skills of Kunlun disciples, you can just calculate them, there is no need to prove yourself."
Liang Lei nodded and said: "Then I will be disrespectful."
After saying that, he made a seal with his hands and opened his heavenly eye.
I was eager to get a few more clients to practice with, so before Liang Lei could take action, he pressed on his eyes first.
Soon, the changes in Old Man He's face caught my eye.
He ordered Gong Baiqi to rise, and the end was approaching.
The red light of Caijin Palace is strong, but there is a faint ray of yellow light floating in it.
The white master is mourning, and the white spirit is hanging high.
Generally speaking, when white energy appears in the life palace, death is basically not far away.
He will definitely die in three years at most.
However, what puzzles me is that Old Man He's Caijin Palace was not implicated in this, but only increased its reputation.
