Chapter 1323: Everything is Unlucky

~9 min read 1,696 words

What made Ye Chen feel a bit surprised was that Su Chengfeng would actually find someone who looks at Feng Shui to investigate him.

Although the old man just mentioned it vaguely on the phone, the several key points he mentioned still had a very clear directionality.

For example, he said he only is responsible for looking, calculating, and changing. This sounds like the way of a Feng Shui master.

The role of a Feng Shui master, to put it broadly, is like the prime minister of a country in ancient times. He can discover the problems of the country and society, and can provide solutions to problems, but he is not a general, cannot kill people, and cannot lead troops to fight.

Perhaps, a word from the prime minister will cause thousands of people to die because of this sentence, but the prime minister's own hands are definitely not stained with blood.

Of course, not all prime ministers in history are gentlemen, so naturally there are people in Feng Shui masters who seek wealth and kill lives.

However, in Ye Chen's view, the old man in front of him seems to have some persistence.

It is precisely because of this attitude that Ye Chen decided to wait and see for the time being, and let him go for the time being.

Otherwise, he would choose to strike first.

Mai Chengxing didn't know that the true dragon fate he wanted to find was actually in the same restaurant as him.

Because they came early and the food was served early, so when Ye Chen and He Yuanjiang just started eating, he and Mike had already settled the bill and left the restaurant together.

Ye Chen didn't put too much energy on the two ancestors and grandchildren, but kept asking He Yuanjiang about some things about his mother back then.

All along, Ye Chen only understood the side of his mother as a wife and a mother, but didn't know what she looked like on the other side.

Now, through He Yuanjiang's introduction, he was finally able to make the image of his mother in his memory more three-dimensional.

A meal lasted more than an hour. He Yuanjiang had been talking about the deeds of Ye Chen's mother, An Chengxi, back then, and Ye Chen was also tireless in listening, even wishing he could go nowhere all day and just sit here and listen to him.

He Yuanjiang's throat was smoking from talking, and seeing that the time was not early, he drank some water and said to him: "Oh, about your mother's affairs back then, it really wouldn't be finished in a few months. Let's talk about it here today. I have a class in the afternoon, so I have to go back early."

Hearing this, Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle He, then I won't disturb your work in the afternoon."

He Yuanjiang nodded and exhorted: "You must pay more attention to Zhiqiu's situation. Once there is any news from her, no matter how late it is, tell me as soon as possible. I'll leave it to you."

Ye Chen agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, Uncle He, I will notify you as soon as there is news!"

He Yuanjiang said: "Then I'll trouble you!"

After the two came out of the restaurant, He Yuanjiang asked Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, what are your arrangements for the afternoon?"

Ye Chen said: "I'm going to Bai Jinhangong to see someone."

Ye Chen planned to go to Bai Jinhangong to see Chen Zekai. Since Su Chengfeng now wants to find him and kill him, he must have other moves. He must take precautions in advance, and at the same time, he must find an opportunity to strangle the trouble in the cradle before it happens, so many places need Chen Zekai's cooperation.

He Yuanjiang didn't think much, and said: "Then I'll go back to school first, let's keep in touch!"

"Okay, Uncle He."

He Yuanjiang was about to leave, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a fortune-telling stall on the side of the road not far away.

Jin Ling itself is an ancient city, and people here generally have the habit of looking at fortune-telling, so there are many people looking at fortune-telling on the streets and alleys.

If it is the season of spring, in the old city, find a street at random, and there will be a fortune-telling stall every ten steps on the side of the road.

Besides, there are many big immortals sitting at home waiting for customers to come to the door.

This kind of big immortal generally uses the gimmick of so-called inviting gods to the body, specifically helping people look at fortune-telling, and sometimes helping people drive away evil and communicate with spirits.

The most work this kind of big immortal does is to drive away evil for children.

The elderly are superstitious that children will be scared if they see unclean things and cry non-stop, so they have to find a big immortal to take a look.

Generally speaking, young people don't believe in this kind of thing, including some old intellectuals, who are also disdainful of this kind of thing.

He Yuanjiang was originally like this.

He has been abroad for so many years, and he has never believed in feudal superstition, but today his right eye has been jumping, and his daughter is participating in military operations with the Syrian government army, so he is really worried in his heart, so he suddenly had the idea of fortune-telling.

So, he said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, if you have something to do, go ahead, I'll go over there and take a look."

Ye Chen saw the direction his peripheral vision pointed to, which was the fortune-telling stall, so he asked: "Uncle He, are you going to find someone to calculate?"

He Yuanjiang nodded and sighed: "Hey, I know why everyone has religious beliefs now. It must be that when I am as helpless as I am now, I really don't know what to do, so I can only pin my hopes on religious beliefs or feudal superstition, mainly to seek psychological comfort."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Anyway, I have nothing important to do, so I will accompany you to take a look."

He Yuanjiang didn't think much, nodded, and came to the fortune-telling stall with Ye Chen.

At this time, sitting in front of the fortune-telling stall was an old man with dark skin, white hair and beard, and some lean.

This old man looked about seventy or eighty years old, sitting alone in front of the stall, slowly stroking the beard on his chin, with quite a fairy-like aura.

He Yuanjiang came to him, and before he could speak, the old man asked him: "Does this gentleman want to ask about good or bad luck?"

He Yuanjiang nodded and said: "I want to ask for my daughter, to see if she is safe."

The old man gave a hum, pushed a bamboo tube filled with bamboo sticks over, and said: "Come, think of your daughter in your heart, and then shake a bamboo stick out."

He Yuanjiang hurriedly did as he was told, thinking of his daughter in his heart, while shaking the bamboo tube. Dozens of bamboo sticks in the tube kept probing out as he shook, until one of them fell out of the tube first.

He Yuanjiang opened his eyes, hurriedly picked up the bamboo stick, looked down at the words on it, and said: "Hearing that tonight is the Lantern Festival, silver lanterns and fire trees shine in the long sky; a sudden gust of wind and rain, thousands of lights extinguished and the pipes and strings broken... What does this mean?"

The old man smiled slightly and said unpredictably: "This is the 32nd sign of Che Kung's spiritual sign. If you need to interpret the sign, please pay 500 yuan, which is considered a blessing."

As soon as Ye Chen heard this, he concluded in his heart that the old man was a liar.

Seeking signs and fortune-telling is the concept of Taoism. As for casual, or blessing, this is the saying of Buddhism.

A disciple of the Taoist sect could never say words like casual or blessing. This feeling is like a monk saying that you can go to heaven to see God if you donate money. The logic itself is problematic.

However, He Yuanjiang didn't know these things.

He heard the other party say he wanted 500 yuan, and without any hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and asked: "Can I pay by scanning the code?"

The old man took out a payment code that had been printed long ago and smiled: "Come, scan this, WeChat and Alipay are both fine."

He Yuanjiang hurriedly wanted to scan the code to pay. Ye Chen wanted to stop him, but thought about it, he is like an ant on a hot pot now, and he definitely won't be able to stop him, so he didn't say much, just wait and see.

Soon, He Yuanjiang completed the payment, and a prompt of "WeChat received 500 yuan" came from the old man's pocket. He smiled with satisfaction and said: "The sign text of your sign is, Hearing that tonight is the Lantern Festival, silver lanterns and fire trees shine in the long sky; a sudden gust of wind and rain, thousands of lights extinguished and the pipes and strings broken. The meaning is very simple. It probably means that tonight is the Lantern Festival, which should have been a lively scene of fire trees and silver lanterns, but suddenly a gust of wind and rain blew, and the lights of thousands of families were blown out, and the festival of blowing, pulling, playing, and singing was gone."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "This is really the most unlucky sign. If you draw this sign, no matter what you want to ask, you can summarize it in four words."

He Yuanjiang asked anxiously: "Which four words?!"

The old man shook his head and sighed: "'Everything is unlucky'!" ===== CHAPTER 1324 =====
