In public, without Ren Xia [1], I like boxing [2], can hold a high pot [3] and can dance in a whirlwind [4]. Chongzhen [5], the imperial palace examination [6], servants can't afford to be infected. There are good fortune tellers in the market who can decide life and death and ask questions on their behalf. I have arrived, but I didn't say anything. The fortune teller said:? Don't you want to ask if your servant is ill? The public should be shocked. Say: The patient is harmless, but you are in danger. ? The masses are self-sufficient. The fortune teller divined and said in surprise: You should die in three days! ? I was surprised for a long time. The fortune teller said calmly:? If I have a little skill, give me ten pieces of gold and let it go now. ? The public knows that life and death are decided, and how to solve the operation; Shouldn't get up, want to go out. The fortune teller said:? Cherish this tip and don't regret it! ? Those who love the public are afraid of the public and advise them to lose them. Don't listen.

Suddenly, on the third day, Gong sat in the hotel, quietly in a daze, and had a safe day. At night, close the door, pick up the lamp and sit on the sword. A thousand miles, a dead end. I wanted to sleep, but suddenly I heard a noise through the window. Look, little Hogan; Reaching the ground, someone is so high. The public seized the sword and struck it violently, but missed it. Then it suddenly became smaller, found a window gap, and planned to escape. Public disease, we should do it. The candle waist of the paper man is broken. I dare not lie down, I can only sit still. Over time, something entered through the window, and its face was as ferocious as a ghost. Only when we reach the ground, we strike hard, break into two pieces, and all creep. I'm afraid it will get up and strike again, and the sword will be struck, and its sound will not be heard [7]. A closer look shows that the soil is uniform and the fragments are broken. Then move to sit under the window and pay attention to the gap [8]. For a long time, I heard cows panting outside the window, something pushed the window lattice, and the wall of the house shook and was about to tilt. Fearing being overwhelmed, the public might as well fight it out, so he suddenly took off [9] and ran out. See a giant ghost, as high as the roof; In the faint moonlight, I saw its face as black as coal and its eyes flashing yellow; No clothes on the top, no shoes on the bottom, bow your waist [10]. The male is scary and the ghost is crooked [1 1]. The public plucked the arrow with a sword, and the arrow fell; If you want to hit it, you will close it again. The public scrambled to escape, the arrow went through the wall and the sound of war could be heard. Ghostly, I drew my sword and waved it like the wind, hoping to split it with public power. Gong Lin

Enter [12], core stone, broken stone. When you go out between your legs and cut your ankle, your voice is loud and clear. The ghost got angry, roared like thunder, turned around and cut again. Male, prostrate; The knife fell and the skirt was torn. People are in danger, fierce and loud, and ghosts and servants are stiff. The public hit it like a drum [13]. The candle is a puppet, as tall as a man. Bows and arrows are still wrapped around the waist, depicting ferocious; Where there is a sword, there is blood. Because I waited on Dan with a candle, I realized that ghosts and things were all from people, and I wanted to kill people, so I used magic skills.

The next day, I told you again. I told * * * about it. The fortune teller looked at the public from a distance, but he couldn't see it. Or:? This operation is also [14], dog blood can be broken. ? As the public says, stay alert. The fortune teller is as invisible as ever. I was anxious to stand in a pool of dog blood, but I saw a monk's head, all blurred by dog blood, and his eyes burned like ghosts. Is to kill the company.

Shi Yi said:? Buying divination is a delusion. How many people are dissatisfied with life and death when the world talks about this [15]? Prediction is cool, but it is still not predicted. And that is, tell me clearly, what will happen if I die? What's more, there are people who use their lives to make demons, which is particularly awesome! ?

There is a man named Yu who has been a knight-errant since he was a teenager and likes to practice boxing. He is very good. He can lift the clepsydra to time and dance as fast as the wind. During the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty. He went to Beijing to take the court exam presided over by the emperor. Just then, the servant was infected with infectious diseases and bedridden. He was very worried. It happens that there is a person in the market in Beijing who can calculate a person's life and death. After I heard the news, I was going to calculate divination for my servant and ask about his illness. He came to the diviner's residence, and before he could explain his purpose, the diviner actually spoke first: Your husband probably wants to ask about the servant's illness, right? Hearing this, Yu was taken aback and agreed. The fortune teller said:? There is nothing dangerous about the servant's illness, but you are dangerous! ? After hearing what he said, I calculated my own divination. After divination, the fortune teller said in surprise: Your husband will definitely die in three days! ? Hearing this, I was shocked. The fortune teller said unhurriedly:? I have a little spell that rewards me with 10 silver. It can eliminate disasters for you. ? I personally think that life and death are doomed, and whether the spell can be lifted. Thought of here, I didn't answer the soothsayer, stood up and lived outside. The fortune teller said:? Your husband is stingy with this little money, don't regret it, don't regret it! ? After Yu's good friends knew it, they were all worried about him, advised him to take out all his money, and begged the fortune teller to help them. I refused to listen to everyone's advice.

The three-day deadline passed quickly. Sitting in the hotel seriously, calmly waiting for death. But from morning till night, nothing happened. At night, close the door, light the lamp, and still sit by the sword. An hour has passed, and there are no symptoms of death. I want to lie down and rest. At this moment, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in the window. So I quickly looked up and saw a little man with a dog on his back, who got in through the window and grew as tall as a man as soon as he landed. Yu raised his sword and immediately assassinated him. The man was adrift, unable to find the crack in the window and tried to escape from there. At a certain sight, I caught up with him and cut hard, and the sword fell on people. When I shone with light, I saw a paper man whose waist was cut off by a sword.

After this happened, I didn't dare to lie down and sleep, just sitting there waiting to see what would happen. After an hour, suddenly something broke into the house through the window, strange and ghostly. As soon as he landed, Yu quickly attacked him and split him in two. Jade was afraid that he would get up again, and even cut several swords. All the swords have been cut, and the sound is different. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a clay figurine, which had been cut into pieces by a knife. Because of this, I moved to the window and sat down, staring at the crack in the window. After a long time, he suddenly heard a cow-like gasp from the window, and felt something pushing the window frame, and the wall of the house shook slightly, as if the house was about to be knocked down. Jade was afraid that she was trapped in the room, so she decided to fight with him outside. He slammed the door open and ran out of the room. I saw a GREAT GHOST, tall and imposing. In the dim moonlight, I saw the ghost's face as black as coal, his eyes flashing yellow, his upper body naked, his feet without shoes, his bow in his hand and an arrow in his waist. In a surprise, GREAT GHOST has bowed his bow and arrow at him. In desperation, he quickly brushed away the arrow with his sword. The arrow landed on the ground. Just as he was about to stab GREAT GHOST with his sword, GREAT GHOST was drawing his bow and arrow. As soon as I saw it, I jumped away to avoid it, and the arrow hit the wall, trembling and making a sound. Great anger, draw out a sword like the wind, stab at. In a fight as dexterous as a monkey, GREAT GHOST cut a knife on the slate in the yard, and the slate was cut into two pieces. I drew my sword from my crotch and cut it on my ankle, making a sound of copper and iron colliding. GREAT GHOST more resentment, roar like thunder, turned toward a person to cut. During a second crossing of crouching cobalt into GREAT GHOST, GREAT GHOST's knife fell and cut off his skirt. Just then, Yu, who was already under his arm, raised his knife and stabbed it, making a sound of copper and iron. GREAT GHOST fell down immediately after being stabbed and lay flat on the ground. I continued to chop with my sword, chopping like a watchman hitting a banger. When I shone with light, I found it was a puppet. A bow and arrow the size of a person is still wrapped around his waist, and his whole body is portrayed as ferocious and terrible. Where the sword is cut, there is blood flowing out.

Light a lamp somewhere and wait until dawn. Only then did he realize that the so-called ghost was sent by fortune tellers to frighten people to death. This is how he proved that his divination was very effective.

The next day, Yu told all his friends about it and found the place where the fortune teller lived with them. Fortune tellers found Yu in the distance, but they couldn't see him. Some people say; ? This is an invisible illusion used by fortune tellers, which can be broken with dog blood. ? Jade will do as this person says, and then go to the fortune teller when she is ready. As soon as the fortune teller saw them coming, he hid his figure as he did last time, and that's the case somewhere. Sprinkle dog blood where the fortune teller stood. After a while, I saw the soothsayer showing his true colors, his head and face blurred by dog blood, and his eyes shining; Standing there like a ghost. So, let's work together, arrest the fortune teller and hand it over to the official in charge of this kind of thing to kill him.

Yi Shi said? I once said it was foolish to spend money on divination. How many people in the world can avoid life and death by emphasizing in this way? You can't get rid of divination if you forget it, just like there is no divination. Just tell me clearly that the day of death has come, what can I do? And some people use the lives of dramatists to verify their accuracy. Such people are particularly terrible. ?
