red and white

Before the words fell, Anping stepped back a foot away in an instant.

"There's no need to be so born, I don't eat children." Mu Gesheng said slowly, "Have you watched TV dramas?"

The topic changed too quickly, and Anping didn't react for a while, "What did you say?"

"Fortune tellers have a very common line - the secrets of the heavens must not be revealed. Some are more fancy, and they say in more detail, such as leaking the secrets of the sky, lightning strikes, and so on. In fact, they all have the same meaning. Do not calculate the destiny without authorization, otherwise you will be punished by others." calamity."

"Are you afraid of this?" Anping was dubious, "Aren't you awesome?"

"Thank you for the compliment." Mu Gesheng showed helplessness, "The lineage of Tiansuan is certainly magical. In addition to the extraordinary talents of each generation of Tiansuan, they also borrowed the power of 49 mountain ghosts to spend money. There is one of the seven schools of thought. Creed: As long as it is the hexagram deduced by Tian Suanzi, there will be no mistakes."

"so?"

"Because there is no error, the bigger the calculation, the more accurate the calculation result, and the stronger the punishment of heaven." Mu Gesheng said: "It is difficult for heavenly fortune tellers to end well, so every generation The apprentices were all accepted early, like my master, who took care of the three at a young age, and was both a father and a mother..."

Seeing that this person started running the train again, Anping quickly brought the subject back, "What does this have to do with the cause of your death?"

Mu Gesheng took a sip of wolfberry tea, shrugged, "I did the hexagrams I shouldn't have done back then."

"What hexagram?"

"forget."

Anping looked like you are playing with me.

"Liar is a puppy." Mu Gesheng said: "I died when I was about eighteen or nineteen years old. I fell asleep for almost 100 years, and I just woke up a few years ago. When I woke up, I didn't know anything about the world. I stayed for three years after repeating a grade. Really. , Mathematics, physics and chemistry are too damn difficult, if you show the three laws to the people in Penglai, I am afraid that the gods will fight Newton."

"Isn't your memory good? How could you forget such an important thing?"

"I did a hexagram that I shouldn't have done back then, which caused me to be punished by heaven. I lost my lifespan, and my soul could not enter reincarnation. After being raised for decades, I woke up later, but my memory was damaged a lot. After all, I am getting old, and it is common for my brain to not work well.”

Anping looked him up and down, "Then how much can you remember now?"

"It's just some things from when I was young, but I haven't had time to grow old." Mu Gesheng laughed, "It's not a big deal, a bad brain doesn't mean it's broken, and the memory can be retrieved."

"How to find it?"

"When I died, the mountain ghost spent money scattered. According to our speculation, there may be some memories attached to the spent money. If you find the spent money, you can get the memory back." Mu Gesheng said: "My money was lost a lot. Eight, otherwise, Amping, why do you think I am playing with steel coins every day? Crazy poor? Well, I am really poor."

"...All right." Anping reluctantly accepted the reality, "The last question, why do you say that you are a dead person? Didn't you come back to life?"

"I am indeed conscious, but the dead soul, the dead body, the soul does not return to the Three Realms, and the five internal organs no longer function. The two are barely compatible, and they are half dead." Not that stupid, not that fierce."

Anping was speechless.There is another point in my heart, the zombies are not as greedy as you.

"This is also the reason why I fed you blood at the beginning. If it were me in the past, a mere three-way trip would be nothing to worry about. But now I am in a dying corpse, and it would be good if I don't have osteoporosis. If I don't pay attention, my arm will be broken." Legs, how can I look forward and backward."

Anping felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, "...Thank you for your hard work."

Mu Gesheng waved his hand, "It's not hard, it's not hard, just treat An Ping'er to breakfast."

...What about your treat?

It was the first time for Anping to go to the cafeteria during school hours. The breakfast was almost sold out, only half-cold steamed stuffed buns and porridge left.Mu Gesheng didn't mind, he took out a porcelain vase, sprinkled some condiments into the rice, and ate with relish.

Anping took a steamed stuffed bun, couldn't get the stuffing in three bites, couldn't help but said: "I remember you are not very picky? You can eat this?"

"If you can be particular about it, be particular about it, if you can't be particular about it, then just settle for it." Muge said naturally: "After all, he was born in troubled times, he has seen starvation everywhere, and he has tasted the food cooked in the army, so he naturally understands the truth that every meal is hard to come by."

Anping thought of Mu Gesheng's enthusiasm for pickled cabbage instant noodles, and thought that he was not a tricky person.

Then he thought of the pot of red dates, onions and koi soup, and felt that it might not be a matter of being tricky or not, but that this person had a problem with his sense of taste.

He looked at the porcelain bottle in Mu Gesheng's hand, "What is this?"

"Incense ash." Mu Gesheng held a spoon in his mouth, "Corpse cannot be digested, but the dead can be worshipped. This incense ash is a special product of Fengdu, and it can make the things in the world available to the dead, so you have to eat something."

Anping suddenly lost his appetite, so he had to find other topics for dinner, "What did you just say about Feng?"

"The underworld of Yincao, the capital of the ghost country, is under the control of the Yinyang family." Mu Gesheng said while eating, "The seven families of the masters are involved in the three realms. The fairy family Penglai is on the Tianting, and the Yinyang family Wushi is under the jurisdiction of the underworld. You I don't see the third child, but Wu Zixu always goes out, he spends half of his time working underground."

"He is so miserable, staying up late is worse than senior year in high school." Anping's first reaction was this, "Can't his family help him?"

"The Yin-Yang family, Wu Zhi, was born with a half-dead body, and he can move freely between Yin and Yang with his living body. But everything has a price. Most of Wu Zhi's people died young, and the third generation has only a small population. In the Wu family's bloodline, excluding the relatives who have passed through countless generations, there is only the third child left in the direct line."

"So miserable?"

"Don't worry." Mu Gesheng said slowly: "People in Wuzhi have privileges after death. They can choose not to enter reincarnation, settle in Fengdu, continue to live in the underworld, and even take important positions in the underworld. The third child is underground. Seven uncles and eight aunts. Dadui, every time I go on a business trip, I visit relatives by the way."

"... No wonder he became the Patriarch at such a young age."

"The position of Wuchangzi is a great responsibility, and only living people can take it. His seven aunts and eight aunts couldn't hold on, so he rushed to die to enjoy the blessing."

Anping: "..."

"I'm full, use the ampoule slowly." Mu Gesheng put down his chopsticks, "By the way, you may be sleepy and dreamy recently, it's normal, don't worry."

"How long will this last?" An Ping said in his heart that I don't want to be smashed with chalk in class.

"It's a big dream, it's been cold for several years." Mu Gesheng smiled, "Don't worry, it will be soon."

What Mu Gesheng said was right, Anping found that he was getting more and more lethargic. After sleeping in late for three days in a row, his deskmates began to complain about him, "Student committee, do you have it?"

Anping didn't bother to pay attention to him, yawned, packed his schoolbag and went home, didn't even bother to eat dinner, his eyelids were so heavy that he could hardly keep his eyes open, he washed up hastily and fell back on the bed.

Now Anping is very familiar with Ginkgo Study, and most of the fortune tellers in the past dynasties like to walk alone, but he is an exception when he is the head of Ginkgo. Go to Ginkgo Study to study.

The study advocates that there is no discrimination in teaching, and there are big classes every week, and all students can come in and listen in, but there are only two formal students-Song Wentong and Wu Zixu.

As for Mu Gesheng, he did not pay homage to Ginkgo Study, but to Tiansuan, so he called the master of Ginkgo Study "Master" rather than "Sir".There is also a senior brother on the top, who has reached the age of joining the WTO, travels around all the year round, and it is difficult to see him at ordinary times.

Chai Shuxin stood outside the study door, knocked on the door knocker, holding a medicine box in his hand.

Ginkgo Study looks unattractive from the outside, but there is something special inside. The courtyard layout was created by Mozi of the previous generation, with pavilions and pavilions in a scattered pattern.The advantage is that it is clean, the front yard is full of books, and Mugesheng can still sleep in the backyard in the dark; the disadvantage is that the road is far away, and visitors often have to wait for a stick of incense before anyone answers.

It was Wu Zixu who came to open the door. When he saw the person coming, he bowed and smiled, "So it's Brother Chai, just come in next time. We are all classmates, so there is no need to be formal."

The two greeted each other, Chai Shuxin followed others into the yard, and said slowly: "The Ginkgo Study is the residence of the gentleman, the gentleman is an elder, and etiquette cannot be abandoned..."

"Fourth, I won't chop you up today, I'll take the surname of Mr.!" Ping Di shouted violently, and saw two figures passing by quickly. A kitchen knife, and a chicken with a hairless butt.

"You have the ability to catch your father first!"

"Unfilial son! In vain, I fed you up with shit and piss!"

The two were swept away like a gust of wind, scolding was mixed with shrill crowing, leaving behind a field of chicken feathers.

"Brother Chai is joking, the fourth brother killed a chicken raised by the second child today, saying it was too noisy." Wu Zixu smiled, "There is another chicken that was half-plucked, but the second child found out, and the two of them just like this." Fight."

Chai Shuxin held the medicine box expressionlessly, and watched Wu Zixu take out an abacus from his arms, "What is Wuchangzi doing?"

"I'll try to persuade the fight later, and I'll settle the study's accounts for this month first." Wu Zixu looked familiar, "In case they have to demolish the house again."

The owner of the Ginkgo House has been ill all year round, and it is already customary for Chai Shuxin to come here every month, but today there is one more person in the waterside pavilion.

There is a chessboard near the water, and the master of Ginkgo House is playing chess with others.

The young man holding the white piece smiled and said: "Master, if this piece falls, it will be a foregone conclusion."

"That's right, after traveling around for several years, your chess skills have improved again."

Chai Shuxin stepped forward to salute, "I met you, sir." Then he turned slightly, "Brother Lin."

Anping suddenly realized that this was Mugesheng's senior brother, Lin Jusheng, the eldest disciple of Tiansuan sect.

The green shirt is loose, the orchid and jade tree.Anping looked at the young man in front of him, and felt that if the master of Gingko Zhai changed his hair into black hair, stood up again, poured out a lot of love in his sleeves, and sprinkled a spoonful of mortals, he would look like Lin Juansheng today.

This is the master and apprentice, peace is like a breeze.They are also apprentices taught by the same master, and the senior brother is so handsome, what kind of monster is Mu Gesheng?

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Shu Xin has grown up a lot." Lin Juansheng looked at Chai Shuxin and said with a smile, "He is already a handsome young man."

"You have grown up a lot! It proves that you are old too!" A figure suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water, splashing Lin Juansheng wetly, "Brother, help!"

"Junior brother, you are the only one who can shout for help and still shout so sharply." Lin Juansheng smiled helplessly, and picked him up from the water, "It's cold, be careful of catching a cold."

"Catching a cold is a trivial matter, big brother, you save me first." Mu Gesheng stroked his forehead and pointed at the angry Song Wentong on the other side of the water bank, "This guy fought with me for a chicken."

"Wendong's chicken is a treasure." Ginkgo Vegetarian laughed and said, "I will tell you to get up early in the morning, and I will give you a toothpaste in the evening."

"Master!"

"Okay, okay, Master is here, Wentong won't make mistakes." Lin Juansheng handed over a cup of hot tea, pointed to the endgame on the board, "I can save you, I played this game with me."

Mu Gesheng trembled when he heard that, "Brother, you only won the national game last month."

"It's because I won the national player that I came back to play against you."

Chai Shuxin was startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help looking at Wu Zixu.

"The fourth brother played nine games of chess with the elder brother." Wu Zixu was still calculating his score, and said softly while turning the beads: "Two games draw, seven games win."

"Who wins?"

Wu Zixu raised his head and smiled: "What do you think?"

Chai Shuxin was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the waterside.

Anping didn't know how to play chess, so all the people in the water pavilion were watching and thinking, playing a game of chess from morning to dusk.Wu Zixu looked at it for a while and then went back to approve the official documents. The master of Gingko Zhai also pushed his wheelchair to take a nap in the afternoon, and left a leisurely sentence: "If I win your senior brother, I will ask Wen Tong to cook his chicken butcher it." .”

"Master, don't lie to me." Mu Gesheng said with a bitter face, "Your situation is too difficult to save."

"There is a long way to go, let's make persistent efforts."

Chai Shuxin was the only one who stood by the side all the time, with his eyes downcast, his figure straight, and he didn't look tired for several hours.Anping waited until the end of the evening, when the lights in the waterside pavilion were lit, Chai Shuxin finally moved.

Anping followed this person all the way out, only to find that the other person actually went to the kitchen.

Song Wentong was practicing knives in the yard, when he saw him, he said, "Why are you here?"

"Help the cook." Chai Shuxin said softly, "Kill the chicken."

Ginkgo Study, small kitchen.

Diesel, rice, oil, salt, a bright light.

Song Wentong chopped off the head of the chicken with a single knife, and stir-fried the peppercorns in a wok. The aroma was overflowing, "I never expected that you can cook."

"The pharmacist has many prescriptions about medicinal food." Chai Shuxin, with his cuffs on, was making soup, "My cooking skills are not as good as my sister's, but I'm just familiar with it."

"Are you going to make pork belly and chicken hanging soup?" Song Wentong glanced at the stove and turned the spatula, "Two chickens, shredded to make five bowls of noodle soup, and the rest to make a dish of soy sauce chicken legs and a dish of hot and sour chicken feet." , the chicken wishbone was deep-fried in the pan, and then I added red oil and spicy... Why the fuck are you here again? Get lost!"

"I'm here to mourn Brother Chicken." Mu Gesheng lay on the window sill, raised his hand to catch the apple thrown by Song Wentong, and took a bite, "I said it when it crowed in the morning, it disturbs my dreams , will crush it to ashes."

"You fucking Guigeng this year? Want to take revenge on a chicken?"

"Hey, you bastard, remember to save some for me and make a shuttlecock." Mu Gesheng quickly changed the subject, looked at Chai Shuxin, "Little doctor actually washes his hands to make soup? What kind of luck did we have today?"

"Pork belly and chicken hanging soup, added pepper and Codonopsis pilosula, nourishes the deficiency and invigorates the spleen." Chai Shuxin said lightly: "It is good for sir."

"Little doctor, if you have time, teach the second child how to make a first-grade hotpot." Muge was born with an inch, shamelessly said: "I tasted it in your residence last time, and I can't forget it, but this person insists that he can't."

"Yipinguo is sister's specialty dish, and I don't know how to make it." Chai Shuxin said: "If you want to try it, come back next time."

Song Wentong was stunned for a moment when he heard that, and looked at Chai Shuxin suspiciously, "Did you two turn a fight into a jade silk? What kind of ecstasy soup did the fourth brother pour into you?"

Mu Gesheng threw the fruit core at him, "A dog can't spit out ivory, and no one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Chai Shuxin walked to the window, looked at Mu Gesheng under the lamp, and nodded slightly, "Thank you for what happened last time."

Mu Gesheng was taken aback, "Ah? What's the matter?"

Chai Shuxin: "..."

"Oh, oh, I remembered, I just went to say hello to the cargo side at the pier, it's a little effort, little doctor don't have to worry...Little doctor! Hey, don't go! Stay for a meal! I really didn't do it for brushing The bowl is reserved for you—"
