Looking at the two identical connecting doors in front of him, Mo Shouchen recalled the story told by the old lady before.
The passenger in the story chose the wrong door and appeared directly at the rear of the train after stepping out of the door. Had he not grabbed the railing in time, he would have fallen off the train.
But for Mo Shouchen, if he chooses the wrong door, it will be useless even if he grabs the railing like the passengers in the story.
Because after he left, the next few carriages were covered by a rotten atmosphere. If he returned to the last carriage and walked forward again, who knows what terrible things he would encounter.
Therefore, he must make the right choice before he can hope to continue completing the script task.
Mo Shouchen walked over and began to carefully observe the differences between the two doors. However, after looking at every detail, he found that there was no difference between the two doors. Even the small scratches on the doors were exactly the same.
It seems that it is impossible to tell from the appearance which of the two doors leads to the next carriage. But apart from the appearance, is there any other way to tell?
Is it purely luck?
Just when Mo Shouchen was at his wits' end, his attention suddenly focused on the ghost-suppressing jade pendant in his hand.
By the way, isn't Gao Weishi, who just collected the black book two days ago, good at "divination"? Just ask him to calculate which door is correct.
After summoning Gao Weishi from the book, Mo Shouchen pointed to the two doors in front of him and asked: "Gao Banxian, please help me figure out which door leads to the next carriage."
"Gao Banxian" was the nickname given by Mo Shouchen to Gao Weishi because he felt that the name was too difficult to pronounce. However, the title Gao Banxian sounded smooth and was also friendly.
In fact, Gao Weishi didn't like this title at first, but now that he was living under someone else's roof, as the saying goes, "People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves," he could only let Mo Shouchen call him this.
Gao Banxian looked at the two doors, stroking his gray beard with one hand, pinching his fingertips with the other hand, and mumbling in his mouth.
Finally, he looked up at the connecting door on the right, and said very confidently: "Take the right one!"
"you sure?"
"Of course, before I became a ghost exorcist, I was a famous local hexagram master. Even Empress Dowager Cixi came to visit me personally, just to ask for a hexagram from me. You don't know, at that time, three thousand officers and soldiers cleared the way, and the scene...
Huh? I’m talking about the door on the right!"
Gao Banxian was proudly bragging about his glory as a divination master, but Mo Shouchen didn't listen to him and opened the door on the right. Instead, he reached out and opened the door on the left.
After opening the door, Mo Shouchen saw that there was a chaotic darkness inside. It seemed that if he didn't walk in, he would have no way of knowing where the door led to.
"Wrong! Wrong! The old man calculated the door on the right, and the one you opened is on the left. You don't even know the right and left, right?"
Gao Banxian reminded anxiously, but Mo Shouchen smiled and said to him: "Yes, it is precisely because you calculated the door on the right that I chose the one on the left."
After speaking, Mo Shouchen resolutely stepped into the door on the left.
Stepping through the darkness, his feet stepped on the solid ground, and the soft light shone on his face. The door on the left indeed led to the next car.
Following Mo Shouchen into the carriage, Gao Banxian's face became a little confused. He defended himself and said, "Maybe it's because I haven't used divination for too long and I'm a little rusty. Don't worry, this will definitely not happen in the future."
Mo Shouchen smiled and waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay. In fact, your calculations are quite accurate."
"What do you mean? You didn't choose the opposite on purpose, right?" Gao Banxian's face looked a little unhappy.
Mo Shouchen smiled and said nothing, but his expression said everything.
"You are an insult to me! You...you...you..."
Gao Banxian's bloodless face turned even whiter with anger. Seeing that he was really angry, Mo Shouchen quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry. Thanks to your help, I was able to find the right door. I am
Thank you very much.”
"snort!"
Gao Banxian flicked his sleeve, and then it turned into a puff of white smoke and got into the black book.
Mo Shouchen shook his head helplessly. Gao Banxian's "divination" skill only had an accuracy rate of 30%, so it was obvious that choosing the opposite direction according to his divination results would have a greater chance of being correct.
I just didn't expect that this old Taoist priest had such a bad temper. Even though his divination was inaccurate, he still blamed Mo Shouchen for going against him. It seemed that he could only find an opportunity to coax him back to peace in the future.
Mo Shouchen looked around Car No. 7. There were no passengers in this car, and there seemed to be no danger. It seemed that the choice between the two doors before was probably the test of this car.
He walked to the front of the carriage and found a seat near the door and sat down. At this time, the Ghost Suppressing Jade Pendant was still in his hand.
The black book says that this jade pendant can be upgraded by inhaling ghosts, but the book doesn't say exactly how much ghosts need to be inhaled.
Mo Shouchen picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He found that after inhaling five ghosts, the blood marks on the jade pendant seemed to have changed slightly...
