Wanghai County, Changping Village, Lao Yang's house, Dongwu.
Li Banxian is an expert who only makes a living by looking at things for others.
He is a man and has only one eye. The other eye is said to be blind.
In the early years, there was a woman named Li Shenpo in Lijia Village whose fame spread throughout the villages. At that time, Li Banxian was still working as a carpenter at home when Shenpo Li was showing off to others.
Apart from sharing the same surname of Li, the two people have nothing in common.
At noon one day in the year that Li Shenpo died, Li Banxian was helping his neighbor repair a stool at home. Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew into the main room. After Li Banxian shivered, he ended up convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
The neighbor who brought the stool was scared to death.
After calling someone over and trying a lot of hard work, including giving them sugary water, pinching people, and so on, they finally managed to shake them back.
After Li Banxian suffered a serious illness, he went out again and told the people in Lijia Village that from now on, he would no longer be able to do carpentry work.
Others asked him what he wanted to change his career to?
He said that his aura has been opened, and from now on, he will show off to others.
At first, the people in the village didn't believe it and said he was pretending. It was because the jealous Goddess Li was sitting at home and making money.
Later, someone in the village had a headache and a fever, but the medicine didn't work. He went to Li Banxian with the thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse, and devised some methods. Well, it was really cured!
After that, more and more people came to see him to see what was going on. In just a few years, his reputation was quickly established.
If Taoist Master Yuan didn't live in the Taoist temple here, otherwise, Li Banxian would have made more money.
"Look, Li Banxian looks pretty!"
Mrs. Liu hid behind the crowd and whispered close to Yang Huaming.
Yang Huaming nodded and followed Li Banxian with his eyes, his eyes dodging all kinds of novelty, as well as tension, excitement, and expectations for unknown things.
I saw Li Banxian take out a chipped bowl and two chopsticks from the black baggage roll he brought over, and then sent Yang Huazhou to scoop out a bowl of water.
Spread a handful of ashes into the clear water.
Putting it on the stool beside the bed, he took out two chopsticks and stuck them into the water sprinkled with incense ash, while mumbling something.
Something magical happened. The two chopsticks stood firmly in the water.
Mrs. Liu was so surprised that she almost heard footsteps.
Everyone except Tan stared at him.
Mrs. Liu shrank her neck and covered her mouth, not daring to say anything.
Li Banxian said: "The old man and Mei'er will stay, and everyone else will go out."
Mrs. Liu didn't want to go out, but she had no choice but to be dragged out of the east room by Yang Huaming.
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou also came out together, and Li Banxian also asked them to close the door to the east room.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to open the window of the east room, still wanting to pry into what was going on inside.
As a result, before he could reach the east window, Yang Huaming grabbed him by the collar from behind and carried him back.
"What are you looking at? Something bad will happen later. Can you afford it?"
Faced with Yang Huaming's gnashed teeth, Liu's eyes rolled.
"Then I'm going back to the house!"
She turned around and ran into the west room, and quickly ran into the kitchen of the west room.
There was a candle burning in the kitchen, and I saw Mrs. Liu taking a bowl there, and then going to the water tank to scoop out a bowl of water.
Then I grabbed two chopsticks and poured them into the bowl of water.
Seeing that her chopsticks were unsteady, Mrs. Liu slapped her head, ran to the stove, grabbed a handful of ashes from the stove and sprinkled them into the water.
Then insert the chopsticks.
However, after trying several times, the chopsticks just couldn't stand upright. Ms. Liu was so anxious that she scratched her head and scratched her head, standing by the pot and stamping her feet.
Yang Huaming stood at the door of the east room and witnessed Liu's every move in the kitchen of the west room. Yang Huaming couldn't help but feel happy.
You silly woman, what are you doing? Do you think anyone can insert chopsticks firmly? It’s all about the know-how!
Mrs. Liu has been tinkering in the kitchen, changing the chopsticks one pair after another, and changing the ashes and water in the bowl one after another, but she still can't get the point.
He was so anxious that he was running around in circles, apparently thinking hard about which link he had gone wrong.
This made Yang Huaming couldn't help laughing.
The result was naturally ushered in the surprised eyes of brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou.
Yang Huaming immediately suppressed his laughter, deliberately pointed at the kitchen in the west room with a straight face, and said, "I was watching that stupid woman do stupid things."
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou did not look towards the kitchen in the west room, but turned around at the same time and continued to wait patiently for the results in the east room.
In the east room, Tan's strange cry came from the room, sounding like crying, but also like laughing.
When she cried, her voice was particularly shrill, filled with overwhelming anger and resentment.
When he laughed, it was also harsh, making people's hearts shrink and goosebumps rise.
Several people at the door looked at each other. M..
Just when Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou couldn't bear it, the movement in the east room suddenly disappeared.
Then, the door to the east room opened, opened by Yang Huamei.
"Brothers, please come in."
"How is mother?"
"You'll know when you come in."
The three brothers came in and saw Tan lying on the bed and asleep, his face pale.
Old Yang was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Mrs. Tan with his head tilted up.
Li Banxian washed his hands at the washstand.
The bowl of water placed next to the bed had turned dark, as if stained with ink.
If it were the previous incense ash, it would never be possible to render such a rich and colorful color.
"Li Banxian, how is my mother?" Yang Huazhong looked away from Tan, looked at Li Banxian, and asked in a low voice.
Li Banxian glanced at Yang Huazhong and said, "Send him off for now. I've told the old man what the specific matter is. You can ask him later."
Yang Huazhong nodded.
Seeing that Li Banxian was about to leave, Yang Huazhong quickly stepped forward and thrust a hanging copper plate prepared in advance into Li Banxian's hand.
Li Banxian was not polite and accepted it directly. Perhaps he was weighing the weight of the copper plate and felt very satisfied.
So, when he went out to the yard at the entrance of the east room, Li Banxian said to Yang Huazhong privately: "The eldest one in your family was unwilling to give up. He buried him earlier to make peace, and then put him in the house where he lived before his death." Everything is burned, that’s it.”
Yang Huazhong was shocked.
"Send it off now?"
"Well, I'm leaving for the time being. After all, she is my own grandmother. This is not good for his own destiny and will aggravate his sins."
Yang Huazhong nodded repeatedly and was about to send Li Banxian back to Lijiacun, but was stopped.
"No need to send him away, you can go back! If you have any problems, come find me."
After sending Li Banxian away, Yang Huazhong turned around and returned to the east room.
At this moment, Old Yangtou in the east room was conveying Li Banxian's words to Yang Huaming, Yang Huazhou and the others, which probably meant the same thing as what he had told Yang Huazhong in private before.
As soon as Lao Yangtou finished speaking, Tan suddenly started coughing on the bed.
This shocked everyone again.
Tan woke up due to her own coughing. When she opened her eyes, she saw the people beside the bed. Her tone was very weak, but her tone had returned to its previous sharp and domineering tone.
"What are you doing all around me? Don't you recognize me? What are you doing!"
When everyone heard this, they exchanged looks, and then heaved a sigh of relief!
Thank God, I woke up and finally came to my senses!
