Chapter 112 Time is running out
So after the man got up, the companion sat down on the horse.
"You calculate it for me. If the calculation is accurate, the money will belong to you and the previous account will be wiped out. But if you are not accurate, I will send you to the official."
This companion thought that if he said this, the Taoist girl would definitely count for him.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chu said coldly, "It doesn't count."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Why don't you count it? Are you afraid that I won't give you the money?"
He dug his hand into his sleeve pocket, took out a piece of broken silver, and slapped it on the table.
The man is disdainful because he just wants his money. He can give it, but the money is not that easy to get.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chu still refused, "It doesn't count."
The man's face was full of astonishment, but then he said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you thinking that the money I gave you is too little? I advise you not to be too greedy. A hundred cents per hexagram is a high price. Be greedy. It's not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant, be careful of one day strenghtening yourself to death."
Ling Chu rolled his eyes and said disgustedly, "I don't make money from dying people. It's bad luck."
The man didn't take these words seriously, he just thought she was annoyed with him for calling her a liar in the first place.
The more the Taoist nun refuses to do it for him, the more he will have to do it.
“Didn't you, Taoist nun, say that you will calculate three hexagrams today? You only calculated one hexagram just now, and there are two more hexagrams. Why can't you calculate it for me?
Lingchu sighed. This was indeed what she said. She couldn't beat herself up.
Forget it, you can't make trouble with anyone, but you can't make trouble with Yinzi.
"I can calculate it for you, but it's not this price. Fifty-two hexagrams, if you agree, just leave. If you don't agree, please leave."
Hehe, this Taoist nun is so courageous that she dares to raise a price for him!
Rather than being angry, the man sneered. Is it so easy to get his money?
This Taoist nun said before that she would not charge money if the calculation was not allowed.
It's not up to him to decide whether it's accurate or not.
"Okay, fifty taels is fifty taels. If you are not sure about the calculation, just wait to see the official."
Ling Chu didn't take the man's threat seriously.
Ling Chu asked quietly, "Tell me, what do you want? Marriage, money, heirs or future?"
“No, please calculate for me how long my life is.”
The movement here has already attracted a crowd of people to watch. After hearing what the man said, everyone shook their heads.
This Taoist nun told me to tell fortunes, and I would only give money if her predictions were accurate.
But how can this lifespan be so easy to calculate? Even if the measurement is accurate, when will this Taoist nun get the money? If this man lives a long life, do we have to wait until he turns 100 before giving him money?
This Taoist nun does not look in good health. Maybe one day she will die without getting up, and the man will still be alive and well.
Those who were watching could all see that this man clearly wanted to make things difficult for the Taoist nun.
Just when everyone thought Ling Chu was going to refuse to count the man's lifespan, who would have thought that she would directly give him an order, "Your hall is black and dirty, you have black spots all over your mouth, and you are riddled with yin energy. This is a sign of drowning." Within ten days, he will drown."
Sighing, Ling Chu continued, "With your appearance... time is not short. Time is running out. Let's prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."
As soon as Ling Chu said these words, everyone around her looked at her as if she were a fool.
This Taoist nun really can't speak. Regardless of whether her calculation is accurate or not, just what she said is not pleasing. It would be weird if she could get money.
Sure enough, after hearing what Ling Chu said, the man looked furious and said, "You Taoist nun is really a liar. You are just talking nonsense here. You didn't show me your palms or your face, so you just lied to me."
Am I going to drown? I am not boasting. I have high water quality, and there are few people in Kyoto who can compare with me. I have been going up mountains and down rivers since I was a child. I can come and go in water just as freely as on land. How could I possibly die of drowning? "
Ling Chu believed that he was not lying.
But no matter how good a water person is, if he is targeted by the God of Death, he cannot escape.
This man didn't know where he got the drowned ghosts, and they all stuck to his forehead.
Ling Chu raised his hand and covered it between his eyebrows.
This Yin spirit looks like...
He was not good-looking at all. He had been soaked in the water for an unknown period of time, and his whole body was swollen. His long hair covered his head like a mess of water plants, and his face was dirty. It was really annoying to the eyes.
Ling Chu put down his hand and closed his heavenly eye.
He sighed and said to the man in front of him, "Don't worry, your Yintang is so dark that it shines brightly. You can tell at a glance that your time is running out. Forget it, forget it, it's too late to say more. You go back When it's time to eat, when it's time to drink, if you have any unfinished business, do it quickly, otherwise it will be too late.”
The man thought that her calculations were not accurate, so he said that her time was running out, and she drowned. He was so angry that he slapped the table, "You Taoist nun, I saw that you are not in good health and you look like you will have a short life. I don't want to follow you any longer." You care.
But it's really abominable that you come out to cheat at such a young age. Come on, follow me to see the official..."
“Scamming?” Ling Chu was unhappy. She also had a temper.
It's okay to say that she was short-lived, she admitted, because it was true.
To say that she is a swindler would be too much.
She didn't want to do the math for this man, he had to do it himself.
Now that the calculated results are not satisfactory, he accuses her of cheating.
If she allowed this man to label him a liar, her master would be angry to death if he found out.
Just when Ling Chu was about to beat him up with a small hammer, the man was grabbed by his companion.
"Forget it, forget it, this fortune-telling can't be taken as true, so why do you need to be as knowledgeable as this Taoist nun? One more thing is worse than one less thing. If you make things worse, if you implicate the Lord and get impeached, you don't know what will happen. How many disturbances are coming.”
This man originally thought it was disgusting that Ling Chu was cheating on the streets, so he planned to drag her to see an official. But after hearing what my companion said, I had to stop thinking about it.
Lately, everyone in the court has been staring at their master, trying to find out his faults so that the emperor will dislike him. He couldn't cause trouble for the adults at this time.
The man grabbed the silver and said to Ling Chu angrily, "Since this is your first time setting up a stall and fortune-telling, I will let you go today. Don't swindle again in the future, otherwise I will find out and I will not take it easy." "
Ling Chu didn't even bother to give him a glance. This man could still threaten her now, but within three days, he would come to her with money and beg her for help.
Seeing that the two men left without paying any money, those who were watching the excitement gathered around, all wanting to ask Ling Chu for fortune telling.
It doesn't matter whether the calculation is accurate or not. Anyway, you don't need to give money, just treat it as nothing and have some fun.
These people wanted to take advantage, but Ling Chu was ready to close the stall and go home.
I didn't make a penny on my trip today, so I might as well go back and rest early.
Just as she stood up to pack her things, suddenly an unkempt woman rushed out of the crowd...
