Chapter 8

The tone of Xia's nationwide archaeology craze makes everyone interested in things with metaphysical colors.

The previous chess player reaching the heavens fighting the Yangcheng Chess Saint was just an appetizer.

This Qi Men Eight Calculations Qi Qi Tiezui is what can truly reflect the mystery of tomb-raiding families like the Nine Gates!

"Speaking of this Qi family, it is different from the other two families of the Lower Three Gates."

"Others are based on creating markets, and they have influence from Mengdong to Lingnan."

"The Qi family guards a fortune-telling stall in old Old Changsha's Tea Camp and is not enterprising."

"This fortune-telling stall is deep in a corridor, and behind it is a small incense hall, specially used for people to draw lots and tell fortunes at the same time."

"In those years, if someone bought goods, they would pay six coins first."

"The fortune teller would take you to the inner hall, where there is a large hall behind, full of antique treasures!"

Hearing the way the Qi family did business, many listeners understood and discussed in low voices.

"Hey, isn't this Qi family's model the current private club system?"

"It is indeed. The market is secret, and it all depends on word-of-mouth introduction; otherwise, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to find this location."

"And this paying six coins first to enter, isn't this a membership fee? Hahaha!"

Everyone discussed very enthusiastically and didn't think there was anything special about the Qi family's business rules.

The fatty in the private box on the second floor also started asking Wu Tianzhen at this time.

"Tianzhen, do you know about the Qi family of the Lower Three Gates?"

"Is that Qi Men Eight Calculations really that accurate?"

Wu Tianzhen shook his head, "I haven't seen anyone from the Qi family, and I don't know much about it."

"I haven't even heard my grandfather mention it much before."

"So, whether Qi Qi Tiezui is accurate or not, I don't know."

In this world, things like the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams are not something ordinary people can understand or have the opportunity to learn.

Most of the things were lost in the turbulent years!

Xia people have the saying of fortune-telling, but they all use the foreign set.

Things like constellations and tarot cards fill the whole of Xia.

This leads to young people today only thinking of constellations and tarot cards when they mention fortune-telling.

Many people have never even heard of Xia's ancient Qi Men Eight Calculations!

This also led to the fact that when Zhang Lin said the Qi family could tell fortunes, these listeners thought the Qi family used the foreigner's set.

The foreigner's set of fortune-telling, to put it bluntly, is probability statistics!

There are billions of people in the world, divided into twelve constellations.

This is equivalent to billions of people sharing twelve life patterns, which doesn't sound reasonable at all!

Therefore, most Xia people don't believe in fortune-telling at all.

Only young people in Xia, due to the influence of foreign trends, like things like constellations and tarot cards.

Zhang Lin saw that the audience didn't have much reaction to the Qi family's miraculous Qi Men Eight Calculations.

After a little thought, he understood the key!

He smiled faintly and continued: "Maybe some people feel very strange when they hear this. Isn't the Qi family selling goods? Why do you say they are particularly accurate?"

"Actually, the Qi family has a strange rule for selling goods. Every time someone comes to buy goods, Qi Qi Tiezui will give the other party a fortune."

"Qi Men Eight Calculations is the first calculation in old Old Changsha. It is extremely accurate and only given to those who buy goods, which is called 'gift calculation'."

"In those years, people who made a living in the fields and bought and sold antiques were extremely superstitious."

"Qi Men Eight Calculations had a reputation abroad. Even if they didn't want goods, some people were willing to run over and buy one just to ask for a calculation, so the business could be continuous!"

At this time, some people who didn't care about Qi Men Eight Calculations at the beginning had already tasted the flavor.

Fortune-telling is not the Qi family's main business, but a gift product for selling goods.

How accurate is the fortune-telling that can make people buy expensive antiques for the sake of a gift?

Could it be that this so-called Qi Men Eight Calculations has a lot of tricks?

Everyone's attention was focused, wanting to hear how accurate Qi Qi Tiezui was.

At this time, Zhang Lin continued: "As for how miraculous Qi Qi Tiezui's Qi Men Eight Calculations is, I will tell you a strange story, and you will know."

"In those years, there was once a broker who came to Qi Qi Tiezui's incense hall to buy goods. He didn't like anything, but he took a fancy to an incense burner in the incense hall."

"This incense burner was not an antique, which shows that the broker's vision was not high."

"The shop assistant at the time asked Qi Qi Tiezui for instructions, but Qi Qi Tiezui was very disciplined. Selling antiques is selling antiques; how could he sell an incense burner? So this business was not done."

"The shop assistant didn't want to, but he became greedy and wanted to sell the incense burner to the broker, and then secretly buy one to replace it."

"Money confuses the eyes. The assistant thought so and did so. Fearing being discovered, he quickly sent the broker away."

"You must know that the Qi family gives calculations. Seeing that the business was done, Qi Qi Tiezui thought the broker bought something else."

"He was still waiting inside for the broker to come and ask for a calculation, but he didn't expect the man to leave without looking back."

"Qi Qi Tiezui felt strange, so he called the assistant to ask. Who knew the assistant was timid? Before Qi Qi Tiezui asked carefully, he confessed everything!"

"After hearing this, Qi Qi Tiezui looked at the assistant seriously and said that what he did, first, offended the gods, and second, offended the ancestors. It is a big taboo! This assistant must have a big retribution!"
