Brother Qiang was very polite. With a smile on his face, he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Chen Hai.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, although Chen Hai was a little unhappy with his cousin's behavior of randomly introducing people to him.
However, people are already standing in front of him, so he can't show his face to others with a straight face!
"Brother Qiang, you are looking for me. Do you need my help with anything?"
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Hai took the cigarette handed over by Brother Qiang, lit it for himself, and asked casually.
"Brother Qiang, that's your old cousin making fun of me!"
"In terms of age, I am only two years older than him. He calls me Brother Qiang, and I call him Brother Zhong. They are all nonsense!"
"If you want to call me, just call me Qiangzi!"
With a chuckle, Brother Qiang tentatively opened his mouth and asked, "I heard from your cousin that you seem to have developed some real skills in practicing Taoism?"
"Don't listen to my cousin's nonsense. He is good at everything else, but he just likes to brag!"
With a faint smile, Chen Hai added: "I got a Taoist book from someone else and practiced blindly on my own, what can I do!"
"To be honest, I only have a little experience in Kanyu divination!"
Hearing what Chen Hai said, a trace of obvious disappointment flashed across Brother Qiang's face.
Sighing, he said: "Brother Zhong, that guy really likes to blow water randomly."
"I'm just saying, if you practice blindly by yourself with a Taoist book, no master, no one to introduce you, how is it possible to develop real skills!"
"To be honest, I also have a Taoist book with ghostly drawings at home. When my old man was collecting rags, I didn't know where he got it from."
"A few years ago, I took that thing and practiced blindly!"
"As a result, I didn't get anything done. I spent a lot of money and lost all my tuition fees. In the end, I dropped out of school and was severely beaten by my parents!"
"My father was going to burn that Taoist book. I tried my best but only managed to save a few pages!"
"Originally? I heard from your cousin that after you developed your true skills, I wanted to find you and ask for some training experience in this area. Now it seems that there is no need for that at all!"
With a look of unwillingness, Brother Qiang picked up the cigarette in his hand and took a few puffs.
At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, which was the time when he was most likely to suffer from chuunibyou.
Watching the video in the video hall, I saw that the Taoist priests there were all very powerful. After discovering the Taoist book at home, he felt like a treasure.
Instead of going to school with the tuition, he bought yellow paper and cinnabar-like things. He ran to the river every day and wrote and drew according to the ghost symbols in the book. I have to say that Brother Qiang was really sick at that time.
Not light.
"Brother Qiang, if you don't have a master to introduce things like Taoism, it's best not to practice randomly!"
"Some of the things in Taoist books are very evil. Without the guidance of a master, if you figure it out on your own, you will get killed!"
With a strange look on his face, Chen Hai looked at Brother Qiang up and down, and then comforted him with kind words.
Now, Brother Qiang still seems to be obsessed with the matter of Taoism.
Chen Hai can actually understand his thoughts.
After all, when he first borrowed the ancient book from Zhang Laizi, he was as crazy as a demon, not much better than Brother Qiang.
He can achieve what he has now, in a word, because he is lucky.
However, his experience cannot be replicated, and he cannot teach others.
After all, until now, he still doesn't know what kind of existence the terrifying monster he spied on that day was!
"Xiaohai, if you don't tell me, I actually know that without the guidance of a master, you can't practice Taoism blindly!"
"However, when I think about how I didn't even read the book for this thing, but haven't cultivated anything, I just can't reconcile myself to it!"
With a bitter look on his face, Brother Qiang smiled reluctantly.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and seemed cruel: "I will burn the few pages of the book I hid when I get back!"
Hearing this, Chen Hai's mind changed.
He tentatively opened his mouth and said: "The things left by our ancestors, no matter whether they are true or false!"
"It would be a pity to burn it down like this!"
"I've always been interested in that kind of stuff. If you really want to burn those few pages, you might as well just sell them to me..."
He and Brother Qiang had only just met each other, and he couldn't ask for those few remaining pages of the book to be given to him for free.
Although Chen Hai has not yet seen the physical pieces of the few pages of the book, as long as he is sure that it is an ancient book and spends some money to buy the pages back from Brother Qiang, he will naturally be very happy.
"Xiao Hai, what you said is really out of line!"
"Your old cousin Zhongge and I grew up naked together. What is our relationship with him?"
"I plan to burn the remaining pages of the book. If you are really interested, I will give them to you."
"Talk about selling? It's too sentimental. If Brother Zhong knows this, he will definitely slap me in the face. If the news spreads, I won't be able to see anyone..."
After muttering a few words in dissatisfaction, Brother Qiang tilted his head and seemed to have thought of something.
After a pause, he continued: "Didn't you just say that you have some experience in divination?"
"If you feel embarrassed to accept what I gave you, then fine, you can help me with a divination and we will be even!"
Chen Hai in front of him helped Boss Li make a divination, and Brother Qiang probably didn't know that he charged 5,000 yuan.
Sun Jinzhong was a braggart in front of his buddies, but he still knew how to measure things. He didn't elaborate on many things, but just made half-truths and half-false lies.
Brother Qiang's words at this moment had no other intention. He just wanted to give Chen Hai a step down.
"Divination? No problem!"
"Brother Qiang, I don't know what you are thinking about?"
After being slightly stunned, Chen Hai nodded and asked with a smile.
"Now that you've figured out your future, Xiaohai, please help me figure it out. How will I be doing in twenty years' time?" Brother Qiang responded casually.
Looking at his posture, you can tell that his move is purely playful and not serious at all.
"Okay, just wait a moment!"
With a casual touch, the three copper coins he carried appeared in Chen Hai's hands.
He omitted all rituals such as washing his hands and facing south.
For this hexagram, Chen Hai never thought about going all out.
He just wanted to try to see if the perfunctory divination he had thought about before could figure out anything? And whether it could really prevent his body from falling into weakness!
Under this situation, Chen Hai's divination was very fast.
The magpie met the sky and stayed in the forest at night, but he didn't know that there was an eagle in the forest. Although he was in the same place, he had evil hearts, but if he met the right and wrong, he would take it lightly.
When the six hexagrams are combined together, the hexagram image presented is mountain peeling, which is also commonly known as the peeling hexagram.
"It's weird, mountain peeling, it's obviously the middle and lower hexagram."
"Judging from the hexagrams, Brother Qiang's life should be unsatisfactory twenty years later, but how could I vaguely sense that at that time, he was wearing a yellow mantle?"
Frowning, Chen Hai's two brows had already formed a straight line, and he said to himself.
