No. 36, Gutong Road West Street.
This is the address written on rice paper by Wei Chenxin.
From the nine characters written by Wei Chenxin, not only the strokes are repeated, but also the strokes are like hooks. The strokes are repeated, and the mind is often uncertain; the strokes are like hooks, causing endless harm to people.
Wei Chenxin just went to rob the ancient tomb. Judging from common sense, the person he killed must have been killed in the ancient tomb! His mood is often unstable. Does this mean that he feels guilty after taking that man's life? When people are harmed in ancient tombs, they should not be motivated to do so, but forced to do so. And the person he harmed should be his accomplice.
After seeing so much, I should have something to say when I go to see Wei Chenxin tomorrow. When it comes to word testing, the more words you test, the more exhausting it becomes. I haven’t seen Wei Chenxin’s price tag yet, so naturally I can’t test all nine characters for him!
Gutong Road West Street is only about ten kilometers away from Guquan Old Street. It’s noon at eleven o’clock. I’ve always been very punctual. At half past ten, I drove the broken bread and set off.
Chongqing is not a city with morning and evening rush hours, so the roads are relatively smooth. I drove the broken bread and arrived at Boutong Road West Street in just twenty minutes.
This area of Gutong Road West Street is full of old houses. The original residents here have basically moved away. Most of the people living here now are those who came to Chongqing to work and live at the bottom of society. .
"Sir, I'm here." I'm looking for where is No. 36? That guy Wei Chenxin appeared.
Following Wei Chenxin into the room, his room was a bit messy. But there were quite a lot of broken pots and dishes in his house. These things looked like they were taken from tombs, but not only were they not complete, but they were all made of pottery, not porcelain, so they were worthless.
"Are these the treasures you are talking about?" I pointed to the piles of broken cans and bowls and asked Wei Chenxin.
“These cannot be sold, so they cannot be called treasures.” Wei Chenxin smiled and said, “Sir, please follow me. Let’s go into the back room and talk.”
After entering the back room, Wei Chenxin did not take out his treasure immediately. Judging from his intentions, he was obviously waiting for me to speak. After all, before leaving last night, he wrote nine words to me!
"Although it was not intentional, it still cost lives. If you don't have an explanation, not only will you not feel at ease, but if you don't do it well, your life may be in danger." The first half of this sentence is my test. It was measured, and the second half of the sentence was guessed.
Wei Chenxin is not that honest with me, so when facing him, I have to be a little careful, otherwise I will definitely suffer from this guy.
"Please make it clear, sir." Wei Chenxin didn't even mention a word about the baby?
“Testing characters is not just about writing a few words, it also requires sincerity.” I clicked this sentence.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will take out the treasure and show it to you."
Wei Chenxin was not that ignorant. After saying this, he immediately I ran over there and rummaged through the cabinets to find it.
“Found it.” After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Chenxin dug out a turtle shell from the cabinet and handed it to me.
"Did you dig this out from the ancient tomb?"
I asked Wei Chenxin while holding the turtle shell and looking at it. There are some words written on this turtle shell. This text should be a hexagram. Some of them I recognize, some I don’t.
This tortoise shell is used for divination. For fortune tellers, tortoise shell is the most used for divination.
I really can’t tell whether the tortoise shell that Wei Chenxin handed me is a good thing. Now, I'm still a dabbler in even dictation. I've only learned a little bit about divination from my master.
My father told me when he was still alive that he was not qualified for divination. He didn’t learn much and couldn’t teach me. However, he kept the book "Golden Armor Divination" left by my ancestor. Gave it to me.
"Sir, you are an expert. You can definitely tell that this shell is that of a golden tortoise. The tomb we entered is from the Song Dynasty. At that time, anyone who could use a golden tortoise shell for divination must be a master. In other words, Although this beetle shell may not look very impressive, it is definitely a treasure that you can use.”
In addition to being able to rob tombs, grave robbers must also be able to deceive. Otherwise, how could the things stolen from the tomb be sold at high prices?
"For fortune tellers, divination relies on skill. As for the beetle shell, it can only be regarded as a prop at best." I took the words and said: "But this thing is yours. I’d rather accept it!”
“Sir, can you give me some advice now?” Wei Chenxin asked me with a smile.
"His life was lost because of wealth, not because of you. If we want to settle this matter, not a penny of the money gained from this tomb robbery will be taken." I paused and said: "The one who died? Brother, do you have a family? If you give that money to his family, at least he will not trouble you again.”
"Is this okay?" Wei Chenxin asked me with some uncertainty.
"Since you don't believe me, why did you invite me here? I'll give you this beetle shell, and you can go to whoever you want."
I dare to say this, that is what I mean to myself. What you said is safe! Wei Chenxin actually dares to question me. Can I give him a good look?
“I believe in you, sir.” Wei Chenxin said.
"The word test has been completed. I have to leave. Say goodbye!" I said to Wei Chenxin and went out to leave.
I was thinking before that it would be difficult to get a foothold in Guquan Old Street without being able to read faces and rely only on calligraphy. I never thought that when a person is lucky, whatever he lacks will come to him.
When I was worried that it was difficult to walk on my only foot, Wei Chenxin gave me a beetle shell that could be used for divination. This thing is nothing more than a crutch for me now! However, I have to go back and study it and try it to find out whether this crutch is useful or not.
Back at the calligraphy shop, I quickly took out "The Art of Golden Armor Divination" and studied it against the golden turtle shell in my hand.
As evening approached, Sister Shaoyao came.
I offended Uncle Duan last night, and I thought Sister Shaoyao would never care about me again! Unexpectedly, not even a day passed before she came again.
"Sister Shaoyao is here!"
The visitor is a guest! As soon as Sister Shaoyao walked in the door, I greeted her with a smile on my face.
“I heard you opened last night?” Sister Shaoyao asked me.
"What are you opening?" I asked with a smile.
“I saw someone enter your calligraphy shop. Isn’t he here to test calligraphy?” Sister Shaoyao looked at me questioningly.
"There is a person here, but the houses in front of me didn't dare to show him. I'm a newbie here and haven't even established myself in Guquan Old Street yet. How can I dare to provoke such an obviously untouchable thing?" Mr. Guquan said. The streets are treacherous, and it is not easy to tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. When speaking, be careful when you need to be careful, and be reserved when you need to be.
“So, you didn’t test his handwriting?” Sister Shaoyao asked.
“I open my calligraphy shop, and you open your pawn shop. You don’t need to tell me what business you do, and naturally there is no need to tell you what business I do. That’s the truth, right? ?" I said.
“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else when I ask you this.”
Sister Shaoyao paused and said, “The man’s name is Wei Chenxin, and he is a tomb robber. There are a lot of things stained, so it's best to stay away from him. There are a lot of things he got out of the tomb. Good stuff. He went to Sanji to pawn it several times and tried to sell it to me, but I didn’t dare to take it. You know, I could make a lot of money just by taking it and flipping it around. It’s clearer that some money can be earned and some money can’t be touched at all.”
This Sister Shaoyao, I didn’t expect that she would actually show up to me and speak out. This is really interesting!
"Thank you, Sister Shaoyao, for reminding me. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known he was a tomb robber." I said with a smile.
"If you can't even tell that he is a tomb robber, I'm afraid your calligraphy shop won't last long." Sister Shaoyao said coldly.
"Why?" I asked. "Those without skills have no chance to gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street. Although there is still some distance between being a fortune teller and a fortune teller, you can still be considered a half fortune teller, right? As a half fortune teller, you can't tell What does Wei Chenxin do? Isn’t this look a little too bad?”
