186, Ghost

When Yan Chu came down the mountain, the old Taoist gave him two hundred yuan.

It stands to reason that in their line of work, money comes in very quickly, but it's a pity that people in Xuanmen always commit one of the five shortcomings.

What the old man lacks is money. No matter how much money he gets, he will scatter it all.

The two hundred yuan he gave to Yan Chu had already been found by digging through the entire Taoist temple.

Most of this money was spent on just a long-distance bus ticket, plus the money spent on buns and instant noodles along the way. Now Yan Chu opened his wallet and found it was empty, with only a few coins left.

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. It seems that before completing this mission, she has to find a way to make some money to spend.

Selling food is unrealistic, and the little money he has is not enough to buy raw materials.

Yan Chu looked at the eight yuan in his wallet, thought about it, and walked into the stationery store nearby.

Half an hour later, in the streets and alleys of the custom attraction, a young man appeared with a simple piece of paper in front of him, with stones on the sides, and the words "Iron mouth straight off, one hexagram five hundred" written in writing on it.

*****

"Hunter, the price you set is too high. Besides, you can't do anything with your words. People who really want to ask someone to tell good or bad luck won't come to you."

A street vendor wearing sunglasses and pretending to be blind next to Yan Chu whispered to him that the business in this area was still good. In one morning, he had already made three orders, and the price of each order was not high, that is, It's twenty yuan, but because you say nice words and make those customers happy enough, no one will care about whether your calculation is accurate.

The young man in front of me came here at about the same time as him, and I never saw him cheating from the beginning to the end. His equipment was very good, and the robes he wore really looked like that. I don’t know what kind of glue was used to stick the wig on, and there was no trace of it. Come on, much better than his fake beard.

It's a pity that the price is set too high and it looks too young. No one will come to a divination master like him, whether they come here sincerely or just for a rarity.

"Let it happen."

The original person was a man of few words. Yan Chu was sitting cross-legged on a piece of clean paper. He was short of money. At this time, he didn't even have the money to buy a small horse.

"Hey, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences in front of you."

The blind fortune teller shook his head and didn't care what Yan Chu did.

"Look, that little master is so handsome."

Many people in this custom street here are tourists. Because there are many "celestial masters" gathered here, there are also many elderly superstitious old people who come to divination. Just when the conversation between the two comes to an end. , a group of young men and women who looked to be around 20 years old came towards them in twos and threes. It seemed that they were students from some university traveling together.

Several girls spotted Yan Chu sitting on the ground with sharp eyes. This master in Taoist robes was completely different from the older "masters" around him. He was simply a beautiful sight, with the dusty wall behind him. The mottled walls became brighter, as if plated with light.

"Little Master, do you also know fortune telling?"

A little girl with a round face came to Yan Chu's booth and asked with a blushing face. Looking closer, the little master became more handsome. His skin was like a peeled egg. Thinking about the skin he spent a lot of money to maintain. , not even one-tenth of others.

"Understand."

Yan Chu still cherished every word in his answer.

Not only is she good-looking, she also has a nice speaking voice. The round-faced girl's nymphomania suddenly becomes worse.

"Yuanyuan, his fortune telling is very expensive. If you are interested in this, why not let the master next to you tell it."

Who among college students of this age believes this? There are not enough news published in newspapers about people being defrauded of money and sex because of superstitious fortune-telling.

The young girl who followed the round-faced girl glanced at Yan Chu and muttered to herself, even if he was good-looking, he couldn't use his beauty to prey on people. Five hundred yuan is enough for a big meal. I bought two lipsticks.

"No, he doesn't look as good as Little Master."

The round-faced girl glanced at the piece of paper in front of Yan Chu and said without blinking at the high price of five hundred yuan.

He is ugly and he is guilty.

The blind man moved his bench, and he swore he had remembered the little girl with a round face.

"Little Master, please tell my fortune for me."

Cheng Yuanyuan took out 500 yuan and handed it to Yan Chu's hand. Fortunately, because this trip came to a custom street, I was afraid that I couldn't support credit card or mobile phone payment for what I wanted to buy, so I specially took out some cash, otherwise it would be really missing. An opportunity to chat with Master Shuai.

"Testing words or reading faces."

Yan Chu stuffed the money into his pocket and asked Cheng Yuanyuan.

"Look at faces, I'll read faces."

Cheng Yuanyuan felt a little beautiful in her heart. If it were a fortune teller, the little master's eyes would have to stare at her all the time. She wore full make-up when she went out today, so she thought she could stand the test.

I hope that the little master is short-sighted, so that it will have a soft focus effect and be naturally beautiful.

"When the Yintang turns black, there may be a bloody disaster."

When the group of them got closer, Yan Chu felt a strong blood evil aura. He didn't know where the source was, but the closer they got, the heavier the evil aura became. Yan Chu tied it around his waist The demon-killing whip is already ready to be used.

"Pfft——"

The one who laughed was a young man with yellow hair and the most dashing look in the world.

"Cheng Yuanyuan, how stupid do you have to be to believe this? I think your five hundred yuan was wasted."

Why is Yintang black? Cheng Yuanyuan's face is fair and tender, which has nothing to do with black. According to Yu Yu, Yan Chu is a liar, and a liar with not very high deception skills.

I'm afraid the next step is to wait for that idiot Cheng Yuanyuan to get anxious, and then use the excuse to help her solve the problem, and arbitrage money from her step by step.

Not only this young man thought so, but everyone present thought so.

The blind fortune teller couldn't help but turn his face away. Yan Chu was so stupid that he couldn't bear to look at the tragedy that would follow.

It was obvious that he had counted his fortune three times just now. This young man could definitely learn from him and fool these young people by saying something nice.

You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief.

This is what Cheng Yuanyuan thinks now. She was prepared to be deceived before fortune-telling, but you can at least deceive better.

But she also couldn't figure it out. With her appearance, how much does it cost to enter the entertainment industry? Why would she come here to set up a stall to earn the five hundred yuan in IQ tax? There are not many people who are stupid and have too much money.

"Liar, please give me a fortune as well."

Yu Yu saw that the liar remained motionless no matter how they ridiculed him, so he lost his temper and took out five 100 cards and threw them to Yan Chu.

"I read faces too, and I want to see if you have any other excuses."

Cheng Yuanyuan glanced sympathetically at the yellow-haired young man next to her. She paid the IQ tax because of his face, but this idiot did it purely because of his stupidity.

Isn't it just for money that people cheat? If you give someone your money, even if you can prove that he is a liar, what's the point?

"When the Yintang turns black, there may be a bloody disaster."

Yan Chu picked up the money scattered on the ground one by one and stuffed it into his pocket, then stared at him and said in a deep voice.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Yu Yu laughed like a fool. He pointed at Yan Chu with joy, then looked at Cheng Yuanyuan and said, "Look at you, have you been deceived? He only knows this rhetoric from the beginning to the end, without even changing his lines." of."

He felt that he had a sharp eye and could see a liar clearly, but he did not notice that his classmates looked at him more like a fool.

"Forget it, let's go play something else."

Everyone in the same class knows that Cheng Yuanyuan and Yu Yu's family conditions are unusual, and five hundred yuan is a small amount for them.

Today's young people are thin-skinned, and they are too embarrassed to ask for money from Yan Chu, a "liar". They each pulled Cheng Yuanyuan and Yu Yu, and it was better to leave quickly.

"Today is my first day of business. This amulet can help you eliminate misfortune."

After Cheng Yuanyuan stood up, Yan Chu rummaged around in a blue bag he carried for a long time, took out a talisman folded into a triangle, and raised his hand to signal her to take it.

"Hey, how much do you plan to charge for this piece of paper?"

Yu Yu took the talisman before Cheng Yuanyuan, put it in his hand and flipped it over several times. There were a lot of such talismans in temples and Taoist temples, and they were no different from waste paper. Only a fool would believe that such a thing was real. It can ward off evil spirits and keep you safe.

"This girl is my first customer, so it's free of charge. If you want it, the price is five hundred."

Yan Chu grabbed another large handful from the bag, and roughly estimated that there were always thirty or twenty.

The blind man had already covered both of his eyes with his hands. Even though he was wearing sunglasses and pretending to be a blind man, he still couldn't stand Yan Chu's poor deception.

Did this kid have any on-the-job training when he went out to cheat? It was really embarrassing for them as a cheat.

"Two fishes, please give me the amulet."

Cheng Yuanyuan and Yu Yu grew up together. Because each other's names sound like fish, they also have the nickname "Two Fishes". Before entering college, the two made an agreement not to call each other's nicknames, but now Cheng Yuanyuan succeeded.

"Are you stupid? You really believe that this amulet can ward off evil spirits?"

Yu Yu looked at the amulet that had been snatched away and the other person's action of putting it in his wallet as if it were a treasure, and immediately became angry.

"Liar, give me one."

He took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and bought an amulet from Yan Chu.

If she doesn't give it to him, he will buy it himself.

One of them paid for the goods and the other gave them the goods. They moved so fast that the classmates beside them had no time to stop them.

"We don't have the money to buy this amulet."

When those classmates saw Yan Chu holding up the amulets and looking at them, they were immediately frightened and ran away with Cheng Yuanyuan and Yu Yu.

Although this master is not very good at deceiving, he has magic power. Otherwise, why would Yu Yu lose his mind when he confronts him? He doesn't want to think that he is a liar but has spent a thousand yuan on him. It's an IQ tax.

"sharp."

Seeing those students leaving, the blind man gave Yan Chu a thumbs up gesture.

"But you are also lucky. You happen to meet this group of students who don't understand anything. If it were a group of old men and women, your skin would be peeled off."

The blind man glanced at Yan Chu's appearance and smacked his lips again.

Well, he looks good, and maybe those old men and women won’t be willing to take advantage of him.

"We've made enough money today, so let's go quickly. That young man cheated you out of a thousand yuan. I'm afraid your parents will come to find you when you go home and tell them. Don't show up here during this period."

The blind man is kind-hearted. If it were someone else, he would be too busy to be framed by his peers, so how could he give him advice?

"Thank you, this is the rent."

The stalls here are all rented out. The position occupied by Yan Chu now belongs to this blind man, but the other party is a good person and gave him half of it without asking for money.

Yan Chu took out a hundred yuan, then collected the papers on the ground, dusted them off, folded them carefully, and put them in the blue cloth bag he carried with him.

"Hehe, then I won't be polite."

The kid just cheated fifteen thousand yuan, and the blind man didn't refuse this generous hundred yuan.

"If you want to learn how to cheat people in the future, come to me, at least I can improve your cheating skills a few points."

Looking at Yan Chu's back as he left, the blind man shouted at him.

Yan Chu didn't turn around, and he didn't know if he heard it or not, but the old lady who was going to ask the blind man for fortune-telling must have heard it. She turned around and went to the stall of the fairy lady next to him, losing the twenty yuan she had earned, which made the blind man very sad.

I will never tell the truth again.
