Chapter 55

Yi Xingchen would not stay in the basement to accompany Li Xuehao, because Li Xuehao was seriously injured, so he was afraid that he would not heal in a while. He had to go home first and then come to deliver food to him in the evening.

Yi Xingchen hurried home, and the officers and soldiers were blocking the intersection of the main street, so they had to go into the alley again and take a detour back to their residence.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw the master's thin body standing outside the door and looking at the entrance of the alley. Seeing him coming back, Gongsun He stomped his feet and said, "Where are you going? Are you scared to death as your master? I heard that there were robbers in the city and killed many people, why are you still running around?"

Yi Xingchen followed his words: "It was because there were robbers in the city that there were officers and soldiers guarding the intersection and blocking them. I and the others were blocked at the intersection and were not released until now."

When Gongsun He heard this, he felt relieved and said, "So that's the case, but it scared the master. He thought something had happened to you? Some people said that the robbers came into the city, but they scared the person to death. Come into the house quickly!"

Yi Xingchen then followed his master into the house. It was almost dawn and he was sleeping for a while.

Yi Xingchen only slept for a while before getting up. After washing and having breakfast, he followed the master to set up a stall at the entrance of the alley to tell fortunes.

As soon as I finished the stall, I saw Tang Xiaoqi jumping over while eating snacks. When I saw him, I shouted: "Brother Guaer, let's go, Sister Meizi calls you."

"I'm setting up a stall with my master, I'm not free."

"You set up a stall to tell fortunes, are you?"

"Of course."

"That's right. Since you set up a stall to tell fortunes, Sister Meizi asked you to tell fortunes just to tell fortunes. Wouldn't you go? If you don't do business?"

When Gongsun He heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "Go! Of course! - Where is it?"

Tang Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue and said to Gongsun He with a smile: "Sorry, Grandpa, Sister Meizi only asked Brother Huoer to go, but didn't say you to go. You should just guard the stall here. Brother Huoer let's go."

Yi Xingchen looked at his master with a bitter face. Gongsun He waved his hand and said, "Since they asked you, go, go early, come back soon." He thought it would be an excuse to ask him to tell fortunes. Maybe there was something else to tell him, so he agreed.

Yi Xingchen followed Tang Xiaoqi to the teahouse. There were not many people drinking tea early in the morning. Mei Lengxiang was wearing white clothes in a corner, which looked particularly elegant. Seeing Yi Xingchen and the others coming in, she got up and called them to sit down on the chair. Dr. Tea brought tea.

Mei Lengxiang said to Tang Xiaoqi: "You go back first, I will talk to Brother Yi and come back."

Tang Xiaoqi curled her lips: "But, I want to be with you..." As soon as she said this, she saw Mei Lengxiang's face darkening, so she had to stick out her tongue and say, "What a rare thing I don't even let me listen? Humph! I'm too lazy to listen, I'll leave." After that, Tang Xiaoqi floated out of the teahouse like a gust of wind.

After she left, Mei Lengxiang whispered to Yi Xingchen: "It was thanks to meeting you last night, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss. You gave me a guide to my path, which happened to be the gap for them to set up the mechanism, so I directly copied them and attacked them, killing them two of the most powerful figures, so it was so smooth. The dog thief who betrayed me also suffered a life. This time it went very smoothly, and I also killed one of their lords, thank you. Otherwise, I might have been ambushed by them. Thank you very much."

Speaking of this, Mei Lengxiang stood up to salute. Yi Xingchen quickly got up and returned the salute, saying, "It's a coincidence that I'm very happy to help Sister Mei Zi."

"You saved my life, and this time I helped me avoid the ambush and took revenge successfully. I am very grateful to you. - You are really good at fortune-telling."

"It's a coincidence."

Mei Lengxiang shook her head and said, "Once, it was a coincidence. I can only say that you are really telling fortunes very accurately. So, I invite you to come today, first to express my gratitude, second to ask you to tell me another fortune."

After saying that, Mei Lengxiang took a purse from her waist, but she didn't count it. She put the purse in front of Yi Xingchen and said, "This is the hexagram gold, you can collect it first."

Yi Xingchen smiled, took the purse and opened it, touched the ten cents from it, and then pushed the remaining money back to Mei Lengxiang, saying, "Tell me one fortune for five cents, yesterday’s plus today’s total ten cents. - I know you don’t have much money. If you want to be so generous, you won’t have money to tell fortunes in the future."

There are dozens of cents left in the bag. Yi Xingchen doesn't want it, but he must pretend to be generous. It will be more cost-effective to ask for a beautiful woman. Being so generous will arouse the other party's favor and you will get more.

Sure enough, Mei Lengxiang smiled gratefully and said, "Since that's the case, I'm thankful. I really don't have much money. Thank you. To be honest, if you tell fortunes so accurately, you will definitely make a fortune in the future. At that time, one fortune teller would probably not be five cents, but five hundred cents, five thousand or even five thousand cents."

"Thank you for your Ji Yan. One day, I will definitely treat you."

"Of course there will be." Mei Lengxiang smiled and said, "I want to ask you to help me figure out a fortune. I want to find someone, but I don't know where he is. Please help me figure out, which direction should I find it?"

Yi Xingchen took out the rice bag for fortune-telling from his arms and put it on the table, saying, "Sister Meizi, first silently tell the matter you want to divine and ask in your heart, and then pick up the rice and I'll tell you a fortune-telling."

Mei Lengxiang put her hands together and put them on her forehead. After praying silently in her heart, she picked up three small pieces of rice from the rice bag and placed them on the table. After Yi Xingchen looked at it, he looked at Shichen and got a divination.

Yi Xingchen said: "This hexagram is called the fire and thunder devouring knot, and the moving line is in the fourth line. This line "The Book of Changes" is: "Devouring the dried urchin, obtaining gold arrows, benefiting the tough and chastity, and auspicious." This sentence means that eating dried meat jerky with bones and finding copper arrows on it is conducive to divination and asking about difficult things and getting auspicious signs. - So, you should be able to find him when you go to this person."

Mei Lengxiang showed joy on her face and said, "Then where should I go to find it?"

"After this hexagram is split, the lower mutual hexagram is Gen Tu hexagram, and the direction of the Gen Tu hexagram belongs to the northeast, so you have to look for it to the northeast. The upper mutual hexagram is Kan Water hexagram, which means that the person you are looking for is living in a place with water, such as rivers and lakes. If you look for it in this area, there may be news."

Mei Lengxiang nodded and said, "Thank you so much. With your guidance, I feel at ease in doing things."

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "From the hexagram, the person you are looking for may be in the army."

Mei Lengxiang was shocked and said, "In the army? How can I see it?"

"Because the hexagram that represents the person you are looking for is the Lihuo hexagram, and the Lihuo hexagram represents the armored men. If the range of places with water in the northeast is too large, you can try to find troops stationed in these places or in the troops that appear in these places, and maybe you will find something."

Mei Lengxiang nodded slowly, as if talking to herself: "No wonder I can't find it. It turns out that I've been hiding in the army. Brother Yi, thank you so much. You helped me a lot. I'm leaving, thank you."

After saying that, Mei Lengxiang bowed her hand and walked quickly, and disappeared outside the door in an instant.

Yi Xingchen watched her beautiful figure disappear, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that Mei Lengxiang should be looking for someone from the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect's tentacles have reached into the army, which is indeed not simple. If Mei Lengxiang knew that she did not kill the master last night and saved his life, would she cause trouble for herself? It seems that she had to be more careful when dealing with a beautiful killer.

Yi Xingchen left the teahouse and returned to the hexagram stall. The master was still sitting there idle. It seemed that it was still not open. Yi Xingchen handed the ten cents to the master and said, "Forget the two hexagrams, ten cents."

Gongsun He was obviously stunned for a moment. He thought Yi Xingchen was just a excuse to tell others about things, but he didn't expect that he was really going to tell fortunes and got the hexagram gold. He nodded with satisfaction and took the money and said, "Yes, you can tell fortunes yourself now and make money. Master is very happy."

This surprise did not last long because it did not open until noon. Gongsun He took out the pancake and Yi Xingchen and ate it together.
