Chapter 20: Fortune telling


"Those who are hungry are often hungry, so they are called hungry.

This ghost is weak and ugly, everyone who sees it is afraid, and he does not eat and drink when he dies in his poor years, and he has a long life and a long life.

In the past, he was greedy and deceived others, and because of this, he fell into the way of hungry ghosts.

The old woman coughed a few times, "The adults came to look for the old man early in the morning, just for this?"

” Cheng Muyou leaned forward slightly, "According to my subordinates, these hungry ghosts spit out the residue after eating people, which seems to be very painful. ” The old woman laughed dryly, "Because of past karma, hungry ghosts are not allowed to eat for many years.

Their feet are so thin that they can barely bear the weight of their bodies.

The throat is as small as a pinhole, but the tongue is as thick as a python.

So even if you find food, you can't swallow it.

Even if they can swallow the food, the food will not only not make them feel full, but will make their stomachs burn and be so painful that they will have to vomit it all. ” Cheng Muyou said thoughtfully, "They have been hungry for a long time, that's why they are so gluttonous," he said, "Mother-in-law just said that in the past, she was greedy and deceived that people would forever fall into the way of hungry ghosts, but Jin Chen and Xing Guojun were murdered, how could they become hungry ghosts?"

” The old woman's two cloudy and yellow eyes flickered, revealing two points of dark light, she crossed her ten fingers under her chin, and stared at Cheng Muyou without looking away, "Have you ever heard of ambergris?"

” "Ambergris?"

"It is a legendary herb that is planted in the mouth of the dead, so that the dead do not die, but not the living."

The old woman said lightly.

Cheng Mu frowned, "That's not right, the dead are already dead, how can they not die?"

If you can't live, you're not dead, and what does it mean to be 'immortal?'

’” The old woman raised an eyebrow casually, "Then do you think that the adult is Jin Chen a dead person or a living person?"

” "He's a hungry ghost."

Cheng Muyou blurted out these four words, but after he finished speaking, his heart felt like a small stone had been thrown, and the ripples were pushed away layer by layer, getting farther and farther away, "No, it still has the memory of Jin Chen, and it is also Jin Chen."

The old woman smiled, "Yes and no, even the adults themselves can't tell, right?"

” Cheng Muyou stood up, took a step forward and said, "Please also ask your mother-in-law to give me advice." ” "Ambergris is green all over, yin and yang can be seen, and for hungry ghosts, it is the only bit of light in the darkness, the most tempting bait, luring them through and swallowing them by root, even if it already has a host."

Cheng Muyou took a breath of cool air, "Jin Chen is the host, Xing Guojun is also the host, Jin Chen once said that he was followed by a black shadow when he was in the shadows, presumably a hungry ghost, but he himself is not the object of the hungry ghost's tracking, it is tracking the ambergris grass in Jin Chen's mouth."

Speaking of this, he straightened up and raised his voice, "Mother-in-law, who planted ambergris in the mouths of Jin Chen and Xing Guojun?"

As far as I know, Jin Chen's family didn't know about it, so they were shocked by his return. ” The old woman pinched her slightly sore shoulders and narrowed her eyes, "The investigation of the case depends on the adults themselves, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help the adults." ” At this point, a few people who wanted to find her fortune teller gathered behind her, and the old woman smiled again, the wrinkles on her face seemed much smoother under the rising sun, she pulled the bench over, patted it on it, motioned for one of them to sit down, and spread her palms at the same time, "My lord, your business has been finished, bring the copper plate, don't delay the old man's business." ” The silver light flashed, and a heavy silver ingot was placed on her messy palm, Cheng Muyou slowly leaned down, and a layer of light appeared at the bottom of his eyes, "I still have some things to ask my mother-in-law, if my mother-in-law thinks that the money is less, I will add another silver ingot, and I will add it until my mother-in-law is satisfied." ” The old woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person who had already sat on the bench, and said with a smile, "This guest officer, please come back next time, Lord Cheng's silver has dazzled my old eyes, I really can't see palmistry, I'm sorry." ” The man scolded a few words of "seeing the money" and "mercenary", and left, and the old woman asked Cheng Muyou to sit down again, looked directly into his stern eyes, and said with a smile, "My lord, you pay such a high price, presumably not just for a few hungry ghosts, right?"

Do you still want to settle other people's aftermath?

Then that person must have an extraordinary life, and he should be the dragon and phoenix among people. ” Cheng Muyou grinned like her, but there was no warmth in his eyes, "Mother-in-law is really powerful, so you might as well make a bold guess, who is the person I want to count?"

” The old woman still looked at him motionlessly, "In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the most valuable person is the son of heaven, but the adult is the aftermath, then it can only be the first emperor, my lord, can I guess accurately?"

” Cheng Muyou chuckled twice, "In one sentence." ” The old woman lowered her white-haired head and muttered, "But the fate of the Son of Heaven is so easy to calculate, if it is not calculated, maybe he will fold himself into it." ” Cheng Muyou sat down on the bench, "That's someone else, Cheng believes that his mother-in-law has this ability." ” The old woman raised her head, her dim eyes shining a little from her scattered forehead, "What do you want to know?"

” "Where did he go?

I think the Son of Heaven must be different from ordinary people, and he won't walk around the Netherworld like you said last time, right?

What's more, his death" Speaking of this, he looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping before he said slowly, "The cause of his death is mysterious, and he will not be willing to pass away." ” The old woman looked at Cheng Muyou's face that was slightly flushed because of nervousness, pursed her dry lips, and then said, "There was once someone who thought the same as you, thinking that he was wronged, so his soul was restless, and he would definitely denounce his grievances in the earthly heavenly realm.

For example, Du Yu, the king of Shu, turned into a bird after death, chirping day and night, the voice is poignant, everyone knows that his soul is immortal, so he is expected to be an allusion to the emperor's cry. ” Cheng Muyou's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Du Yu took the initiative to meditate on others, and he couldn't calm his mind yet, but the first emperor he was beaten" He paused for a moment and swallowed the word that had already reached his mouth.

The old woman smiled and continued without scruples, "What the adult means is that he was victimized by an adulterer, and he will not leave willingly, right?"
