Zhang San looked at Su Che and explained in detail how he went to find the lady to test her words.
The fact that the Qi family's wife allowed a monster to take over her body quickly became news in Shanyin County. When the monster decided to come out and sell fortune telling, it frightened a lot of people.
Who has nothing to do to go to a monster to tell their fortune? For a moment, there was a feeling of being left out.
Later, a few scoundrels bet with each other on who was bolder, and some who were not afraid of death went to the Qi family's wife to make a calculation.
The lady of the Qi family's fortune-telling stall was set up in front of her house. This one was dressed like a handsome young man. The scoundrel made up his mind and went to the lady of the Qi family to ask about his fortune.
At first, I was a little worried. The monster told fortunes and would probably be plotting something. The scoundrel was even prepared to sacrifice his virginity.
Who would have thought that the wife of the Qi family would actually show him a way to make money by taking out three copper coins.
He said that there was an earthen jar buried two feet southeast of a big tree in his home. It was buried by his ancestors in a certain generation. Later generations had forgotten it and asked him to dig it out quickly. He could get twenty-three taels of silver and ten copper coins. Two passes.
The scoundrel went back and summoned the men to dig, and they really dug out an earthen jar. The amount in it was not much, not much.
Now she had gained a reputation, and people from all walks of life came to come to the Qi family's wife to settle matters.
Her charges are quite random. Some people tell fortunes for free, while others charge a fortune of ten taels. In addition, she is sure to hit the mark every time she tells fortunes. People come to her for fortune telling not only in Shanyin County, but also in prefectural cities.
On the contrary, the Qi family seemed to be prosperous because of this.
According to Zhang San, the old woman is indeed the mother-in-law of the Qi family. She has always had a stubborn temper and has always been unhappy with her daughter-in-law. Now that her daughter-in-law has been possessed by a monster, she has been complaining all day long.
This caused everyone in the county to go to great lengths to trouble her. Firstly, the old woman was too unruly, and secondly, no one knew if anyone would beg for the monster, so everyone suppressed her.
The old lady of the Qi family had an increasingly frustrated temper and kept making trouble all day long. Finally, the father and son of the Qi family became cruel and locked the old woman in their house and fed her three meals a day.
Who knows what happened last night that actually caused her to run out and go to the county government office to accuse her.
After listening to Zhang San's story, Su Che suddenly felt a little weird.
Zhang San is a local ghost in Shanyin County. After three or two turns, he led Su Che to the fortune-telling stall of Madam Qi's wife.
I only saw a plain-looking woman wearing men's clothes, but with heavy makeup on her face, sitting in front of a table. There were turtle shells and copper coins on the table. There was no trace of evil in her body.
Four or five people in front lined up, waiting for the Qi woman to divine.
Su Che didn't say anything, and stood silently in the queue with Zhang San, listening to the woman telling fortunes there.
"Great Immortal, I have something to settle, and I have to settle my marriage."
A middle-aged man in rather ragged clothes with a sallow complexion was telling fortunes there.
"Are you considered your wife?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
The Qi woman put three copper coins into the turtle shell and shook it. The coins fell to the ground.
"Your wife has been ill since July last year and has been in bed for six months now. She has spent a total of seventy-two or three cents of money. You owe five taels of debt outside."
The middle-aged man sat opposite him, with a bitter look on his face, and just nodded silently.
"Great Immortal, can my wife be saved?"
"Your daughter-in-law is terminally ill and cannot be cured by medicine or stone. She only has four months left to live. Please prepare for the funeral as soon as possible. But the so-called Dao fifty, Tian Yan forty-nine, escape one. There is indeed a glimmer of hope."
"Please give me a clear explanation from the Great Immortal."
The wife of the Qi family arranged the copper coins on the table, as if there could be more information in this arrangement.
"But you don't have to ask me for the rest. Those who are dead but not stiff can turn into walking corpses. They can absorb the transformation of Taiyin and condense it with their own Yin energy to create a strange thing called jade fat flower. Its shape is like a wave. Epiphyllum, the common people call it coffin grass."
"Song Qi, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop in the south of the city, has one. Go to him and ask for it. Take it back and divide it into three parts. Give them to your wife, one after another. You will be able to pass this test and add another thirty years to your life."
The man was suddenly startled, tears welling up in his eyes.
"The great immortal's life-saving grace, the great immortal's life-saving grace. It's just such a rare thing. Shopkeeper Song..."
"Of course he will give it to you, but I want to tell you one more thing."
"You and your wife are destined to be together. You are destined to have troubles and injuries, and you are not destined to have any heirs."
"According to your destiny, the red luan star will move in the sixth month after your wife's death. If you meet a good partner who will make a prosperous family and have a prosperous husband in this life, you will have more wealth, longer life, and more children. It will be better than suffering with her." How much? You can be regarded as being extremely benevolent to her. I will explain the two paths to you clearly. You can choose for yourself."
The man was silent for a long time.
"Thank you, Great Immortal. I wonder how much the price of this hexagram is?"
"A copper coin."
The man took out a copper coin from his sleeve and put it on the Qi woman's table, and then kowtowed to her three times respectfully.
"Thank you, Immortal, for saving my life."
After saying this, he left.
Behind the bitter-looking man was a short, fat, middle-aged woman. She had just sat down in front of the Qi family woman's divination stall when she heard the Qi family woman say.
"What you want to ask about is one hundred taels of silver."
The woman gritted her teeth and forced a smile on her face. She took out her fat little finger and gestured: "I don't know why you want so much money. The thing I want to ask is much smaller than the person just now. "
"Your husband-in-law came yesterday and gave him twenty taels of silver, just to protect his foreign house."
"This thief is a killer."
The fat woman suppressed her blush and walked away angrily.
Then the Qi family woman did a few more calculations and found that there was no pain or itch.
Finally it was Su Che and Zhang San's turn.
The Qi family woman asked.
"Which one of you comes first?"
"I come."
Suche sat down in front of the Gua stall.
"What do you want to ask, sir? Marriage, future, or longevity?"
Suche smiled.
"I've just seen a few people come to you for fortune telling. The charges for this hexagram are different. I'm in a hurry today and don't have enough money to bring with me. I hope you can tell me the amount in advance to avoid running out of money."
The Qi family woman raised her head and glanced at him. Her eyes were like cold pools, but there were thousands of amorous feelings condensed in her eyes.
After this glance, Su Che no longer seemed to see an ordinary-looking woman in front of her, but a petite woman with all kinds of charms who sent his thoughts towards her.
"Since you are here, how can I collect money?"
"If you don't accept money, doesn't it become free prostitution?"
"Hey, you can come, let alone free prostitution, it is black prostitution, prostitution leads to prostitution, even if you have a broken leg, the slave family is also willing to do it."
Suche swallowed.
This monster is indeed very monster.
