Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 5 Ritual

free? Free things are the most expensive! Zhou Mingrui muttered silently, intending to refuse any additional services in the future.

If you have the ability, you can fortune tell me that I am transmigrating!

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui followed behind the woman whose face was painted red and butter, and bent over into the low tent.

It was very dark inside the tent, and only a little light penetrated, and a table full of cards was vaguely illuminated.

The woman in the pointed hat was not affected at all, the long black dress floated around the table as if floating on the water, sat opposite, and lit the candle.

It was dim and swaying, and the inside of the tent seemed to be bright or dark, and it instantly felt a little more mysterious.

Zhou Mingrui sat down calmly, glanced over the tarot cards on the table, and found that he was familiar with the main cards such as "Magician", "Emperor", "The Hanged Man" and "Temperance".

"Is Comrade Roselle really a 'senior'...I wonder if he is a fellow of my big foodie empire..." Zhou Mingrui's mouth moved slightly, and he was in a trance.

Before he had time to read the cards that were turned over on the table, the woman who claimed to be "skillful in divination" had already reached out and gathered all the tarots together, stacked them into a pile, and pushed them in front of him.

"Shuffle and cut the cards," the circus fortune teller said in a low voice.

"I'll wash?" Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously.

The fortune-teller's face was wriggling with red and butter colors, and he said with a faint smile:

"Of course, everyone's fate can only be foretold by themselves, and I'm just an interpreter."

Zhou Mingrui immediately asked vigilantly:

"Is there no extra charge for interpretation?"

As a keyboard folklorist, I've seen similar tricks a lot!

The fortune-teller was obviously stunned for a while, and then said dully after a while:

"Free."

Zhou Mingrui was relieved, and stuffed the revolver into his pocket a little more, then calmly stretched out his palms and skillfully shuffled and cut the cards.

"Okay." He put the shuffled tarot cards in the center of the table.

The fortune-teller clasped his hands, looked at the cards carefully for a while, and suddenly said:

"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask, what do you want to fortune?"

When chasing an unsuccessful first love, Zhou Mingrui also studied tarot cards and said without hesitation:

"Past, present, and future."

This is a kind of divination card array in the tarot. Three cards are arranged in sequence, symbolizing the past, present and future respectively.

The fortune-teller first nodded, then the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said with a smile:

"Then please shuffle the cards again and understand what you want to ask before you can shuffle truly symbolic cards."

You were playing with me just now... Do you want to be so stingy, isn't it because I kept stressing about free... Zhou Mingrui's face muscles twitched, he took a deep breath, took back the tarot, shuffled and cut the cards again.

"Is it okay this time?" He put the cut cards on the table.

"No more." The fortune-teller stretched out his fingers, picked up a card from the top, and placed it on Zhou Mingrui's left hand, his voice became more and more hoarse, "This one symbolizes the past."

"This one symbolizes the present." The fortune teller placed the second card directly in front of Zhou Mingrui. ,

She picked up a third card and placed it on Zhou Mingrui's right hand:

"This one symbolizes the future."

"Okay, which card do you want to see first?" After doing all this, the fortune-teller raised his head and looked deeply at Zhou Mingrui with his gray-blue eyes.

"Let's look at 'now' first." Zhou Mingrui thought a little.

The fortune-teller nodded slowly and turned over the card in front of him.

This card depicts a young man in gorgeous clothes and headdress, with a cane on his shoulders, luggage hanging from the head of the cane, and a dog pulling behind him. The serial number is "0".

"The Fool." The fortune-teller read the card softly, his gray-blue eyes fixed on Zhou Mingrui.

Fool? Tarot number zero? start? Contains all possible starts? Zhou Mingrui is not even a beginner Tarot lover.

I can only make a superficial interpretation based on my impression.

Just as the fortuneteller was about to speak, the cloth door of the tent was suddenly opened, and the strong sunlight shone in, causing Zhou Mingrui, who had his back to there, to instinctively narrow his eyes.

"Why are you pretending to be me again! It's my job to give people divination!" A female voice growled angrily, "Go back! You have to remember that you are just a beast trainer!"

Tamer? Zhou Mingrui got used to the light, and saw a woman wearing a pointed hat, black dress, and red butter at the door, but she was taller and thinner.

The woman sitting in front of him quickly stood up and said embarrassedly:

"Don't mind, I just like this, I have to say, sometimes, my divination and interpretation are quite accurate, really..."

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt, walked sideways around the table, and hurriedly left the tent.

"Sir, do you need me to help you interpret it?" The real fortuneteller looked at Zhou Mingrui and asked with a smile.

Zhou Mingrui moved the corner of his mouth and asked sincerely:

"Is it free?"

"...No," replied the real fortune teller.

"Forget it." Zhou Mingrui put his palms back into his pockets, held down the revolver and the banknotes, and bent over and walked out of the tent.

This is true, I even found a beast trainer to do tarot divination!

Wouldn't a trainer who doesn't want to be a fortune teller be a good clown?

Zhou Mingrui quickly put the matter behind him and bought a pound of not-so-good lamb for 7p at the "lettuce and meat" market, as well as tender peas, cabbage, onions, potatoes, etc. On the previous bread, a total of 25 copperpence was used, which is 2 soli and 1p.

"I can't help but spend money, poor Benson..." Zhou Mingrui not only lost the two banknotes he took out, but also picked up a penny in his original trousers pocket.

He sighed casually like this, no longer thought about it, and hurriedly returned home.

With the staple food, the transshipment ceremony can be performed!

…………

When the tenants on the second floor left one after another, Zhou Mingrui did not rush to perform the ceremony, but first translated words such as "Fusheng Xuanhuang Xianzun" into ancient Fusak and Luen, intending that if the original spell did not work, Then change the local language and try again the next day!

After all, we have to consider the difference between the two worlds and the issue of following the customs of the countryside.

As for the translation into the Hermes script specially used for ancient prayers and sacrifices, Zhou Mingrui was unable to complete it due to his lack of vocabulary.

After all this was done, he took out four loaves of rye bread from the paper bag, one placed in the corner where the coal stove had been placed, one on the inside of the bottom of the full-length mirror, one on the top of the cabinet where the two walls met, and one on the top of the cabinet. On the right side of the desk is where the clutter is piled up.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mingrui came to the center of the room and calmed down for a few minutes before taking a dignified step, taking a square counterclockwise.

Taking the first step, he recited in a low voice:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable."

In the second step, he sincerely recited:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun."

In the third step, Zhou Mingrui held his breath and whispered:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang God."

In the fourth step, he exhaled the turbid air and said silently with his heart:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."

After returning to his place, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and waited for the result in place. He had expectations, unease, hope, and fear in his heart.

Can I go back?

Will it work?

Will there be any surprises?

The darkness in front of him was dyed with the deep red brought by the light, and the thoughts in Zhou Mingrui's mind were surging, and it was difficult to calm down.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to stop flowing, becoming thick and weird.

Immediately following, sometimes fine, sometimes sharp, sometimes illusory, sometimes seductive, sometimes manic, and sometimes mad whispers sounded in his ears.

Even though he couldn't understand what the murmur was saying, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but listen and distinguish.

His head hurt again, as if a steel drill had been inserted.

Zhou Mingrui only felt that his head was about to explode, and his thoughts were dyed with psychedelic colors.

He knew it was wrong and tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't complete this simple action.

The whole person became more and more tense, and it could be broken at any time. Zhou Mingrui inexplicably had a self-deprecating thought:

"no Zuo no Die……"

He couldn't bear it any longer. When the string in his mind was about to break, the murmurs of countless voices subsided, the surroundings became very quiet, and the atmosphere was rather erratic.

Not only the atmosphere, Zhou Mingrui felt that his body was also erratic.

He tried to open his eyes again, this time very easily.

The diffuse gray fog reflected in his eyes, hazy, blurry, and boundless.

"What's the situation?" Zhou Mingrui looked around in amazement, then lowered his head and found himself floating on the edge of an endless gray fog.

The gray fog flows like water, dotted with crimson "stars", some of them are big, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.

Looking at this holographic image-like scene, Zhou Mingrui stretched out his right hand in confusion and exploration, trying to touch a crimson "star" floating on the surface on the right to find a way to leave.

When his fingers just touched the surface of the star, water marks suddenly gushed out from his body, causing a "deep red" eruption, like a dreamy firework.

Zhou Mingrui was startled, his right hand was withdrawn in a panic, and he accidentally bumped into another "Crimson".

Therefore, the "stars" also shine brightly.

As a result, Zhou Mingrui felt that his head was empty and his spirit was lethargic.

…………

Backlund, the capital of the Loen Kingdom, in Queens, a luxurious villa.

Audrey Hall sat in front of the dresser, rubbing the bronze mirror with ancient patterns and cracked surface on the table. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, wake up soon..."

"In the name of the Hall family, I order you to wake up!"

...

She changed word after word, but the mirror didn't respond.

After more than ten minutes, she finally chose to give up, pursed her lips in grievance, and whispered:

"Dad is really deceiving me. Every time he tells me that this mirror is the treasure of the ancient Solomon Empire's dark emperor, it is an extraordinary item..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the bronze mirror placed on the table suddenly burst into crimson light, covering her at once.

…………

On the Sonia Sea, a three-masted sailboat that is clearly behind the times is sailing through a storm.

Alger Wilson stood on the deck, his body undulating with the bumps, easily maintaining his balance.

He was wearing a long robe embroidered with lightning patterns, and in his hand was holding a strangely shaped glass bottle. Sometimes bubbles rolled in it, sometimes frost gathered into snow, and sometimes there were traces of wind blowing.

"The blood of the ghost shark is still..." Alger whispered.

At this moment, a crimson burst between the glass bottle and his palm, and the surrounding area was drowned in an instant.

…………

Above the gray fog, Audrey Hall regained his sight, looked left and right in panic and confusion, and saw a man with a blurry head and a hazy figure on the opposite side.

Immediately after, they found a mysterious man shrouded in gray mist not far away.

"Mysterious Man" Zhou Mingrui was also stunned.

"Sir, where is this?"

"What do you want to do?"

Audrey and Alger were stunned for a while, then fell silent, and then spoke in unison.
