Jiang Nanzhou didn't notice anything wrong, and enthusiastically introduced Lin Qingyin: "Little Master, this is my roommate, called Jagger, from the United States. He is particularly interested in the traditional culture of our country, especially Zhou Yi. One piece. He heard that you helped my grandfather find a relative who had been lost for 60 years and he admired you very much, and he wanted to open his eyes. By the way, he would have a look at you!"
When Jagger heard Jiang Nanzhou introduce himself, his two big watery blue eyes stared at Lin Qingyin unblinkingly, looking very expectant.
Lin Qingyin glanced at his face, and suddenly felt even more disintegrated. The face of the Americans and the Chinese are too far apart. If you apply the method of looking at the faces of the Chinese to the Americans, you can only look at it roughly, not at all. So precise. Lin Qingyin, as the head of the sect of sacred calculations, only allowed herself to make the slightest mistake in the hexagrams that she read, and she would not say anything that could only tell the outline.
Can't read the picture, in fact, fortune-telling is not good either. Chinese fortune telling is based on the time of birth. There is a time difference between the U.S. and the Chinese for several hours. She is not sure whether to convert the time difference. She has no previous experience in this area.
Seeing Lin Qingyin's depressed expression, Jagger panicked suddenly, and he didn't know what to do: "Master, do I have a bloody disaster? Am I going to die?"
The child didn't know what to watch before, and his brain was a bit big.
"You're not going to die, I'm going to die!" Hearing Jagger's weirdly emphasized Chinese, Lin Qingyin desperately pulled Jiang Nanzhou's collar over: "How can I count if you got a platycodon with such a bad Chinese? Let me translate!"
Although Jiang Nanzhou felt that Master Lin sometimes looked skinny because of her age, she did not expect her emotions to be so exposed, clutching her collar with great force like an eagle catching a chicken, and he was struggling. The energy is gone.
Jiang Nanzhou looked at Lin Qingyin very innocently: "Little Master, I heard that you are the number one in the college entrance examination. You even got a perfect score in English. There must be no problem communicating." As he said, Jiang Nanzhou suddenly realized: "Little Master, you haven't before. I’ve communicated directly with Americans, so I’m a little worried, aren’t you? Don’t worry, if you can’t remember a word, I can translate it for you!"
Lin Qingyin: "..."
I threw you two out, believe it or not!
—
If Jagger spent money to calculate the divination, Lin Qingyin would definitely not take the business, but Jiang Nanzhou used the ten hexagrams she gave to the Jiang family to ask for hexagrams, and she didn't want to accept it now.
"The face of this platycodon is different from that of a Chinese. I can't show him a picture or fortune-telling." Lin Qingyin gave Jagger a bitter look. "But it can be measured and fortuned." After a pause, Lin Qingyin added: "Only test Chinese characters, English is not good for me!"
After Lin Qingyin finished speaking, Jagger stared at Lin Qingyin blankly, knowing that he didn't understand it. Lin Qingyin gave Jiang Nanzhou a weak look, gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words: "You, translate!"
Jiang Nanzhou realized that Lin Qingyin's face was wrong, and quickly translated what she said to Jagger. Although Jagger feels a bit regretful that he can't tell fortune-telling, his fortune-telling is not the main thing this time.
Although Jagger had taken language courses before coming to China, his level was limited to daily communication. If he narrated more complicated things, he would stumble, and he would simply use English to tell the things he wanted to calculate.
"My great-grandfather was a well-known soldier when he was young. He was awarded the Commander's Order and the Victoria Cross. When he was young, he worked in the army until he was old. He did not leave the army until he was old and lived in the country for retirement. My grandfather works an hour away from him. Only on weekends can I take my family to visit him and have dinner with him. Sometimes my great-grandfather will drive to the city to meet with his family.
Later, his health was not very good. My grandfather invited him to live in the city, but my great-grandfather was reluctant to leave his house. In a gathering with friends, my great-grandfather died of a heart attack caused by excessive drinking. My grandfather inherited all of his great-grandfather’s inheritance, but when he counted the relics, he found that several things used by his great-grandfather were missing, and two precious medals disappeared. "
Jagger lamented regretfully: "For our family, those two medals are honors and must be preserved and passed on. But for so many years, we have not found them. Moreover, the military uniform worn by my grandfather and some precious ones I have never seen his personal belongings again, and no one knows where my great-grandfather hid them."
Jagger looked at Lin Qingyin imploringly with blue eyes: "Master Lin, I heard Jiang said that you will be super good at Zhou Yi. If you lose something like me, you can figure it out. Can you please help me figure it out? What about it?"
Lin Qingyin listened to them for a long time, and then she understood the last two sentences. Speaking of her, she was stared at by Li Yanyu every day to learn English when she was in high school, and she also spent 100,000 yuan in New Oriental to find Yang Dashuai for a year of English lessons. Say her English is not good, she can repeat all the English texts without bad tone, just like listening to audio. In addition, she can also make various types of English test questions, but her English proficiency is limited to the test, and communicating with people in English is not part of her plan. It would be better if Jagger's hearing was the same standard, but his narration was mixed with slang and special words directly to her.
Lin Qingyin glanced at Jiang Nanzhou heavily, stretched out his hand and poked him: "You are responsible for explaining to me the people you brought, what does that platycodon mean?"
Jiang Nanzhou reluctantly grabbed his hair twice: "It's Jagger, not Platycodon grandiflorum."
Lin Qingyin wiped her face dejectedly: "Just tell me what the platycodon said."
Jiang Nanzhou repeated what Jagger said, and said: "These two medals are very rare, especially the Victoria Cross is very important to their family. They especially want to find these things."
Lin Qingyin took out the turtle shell: "Let's take a look at it."
Speaking of it, this is the longest hexagram calculated by the little master, half the earth apart.
Because the distance is too far, for the sake of safety, Lin Qingyin continued eight hexagrams this time, and the result of the combination of the hexagrams and images gradually became clearer. Lin Qingyin, as the head of the divine calculation sect, has a very accurate intuition. Seeing the combined hexagram, she knows that her hexagram is correct.
"Your great-grandfather's house has three rooms, right?" Lin Qingyin touched the tortoise shell, sensing the message given by the hexagram and said: "The front of the house is a beautiful garden, and the back is a mountain."
Jagger's surprised eyes lit up when he heard this sentence. He always felt that Jiang Nanzhou's introduction of Lin Qingyin was too weird. He didn't expect that she really only shook the coin a few times and revealed the appearance of his great-grandfather's house.
"Oh my God, you are really right. You are indeed the master of Zhou Yi from China. It is amazing. There is indeed a mountain behind my great-grandfather's house. The mountain is very dense and he likes to go exploring. Did he hide his medal on the mountain? It would be too hard to find, maybe someone would have picked it up." Jagger shook his head a little annoyedly: "The garden is not possible, my great-grandfather does not seem to be able to He who hides things in the garden doesn't like fairy tales."
Lin Qingyin ignored Jagger’s words and continued according to the results displayed by the hexagrams: “Your grandfather’s favorite place to stay is the study located in the southeast of the house. There is an old-fashioned bookcase in the study. The hexagrams show what you are looking for. It's under the bookcase."
"Under the bookcase?" Jagger shook his head hesitantly. "The bookcase is very large and heavy. If the medal is placed under the bookcase, it will be squashed. My great-grandfather would only do that when he is crazy."
Lin Qingyin put the ancient coins away one by one, and said slowly: "Not directly under the bookcase. There is a hole under the house. The entrance is under the bookcase. The medal your family is looking for is in that hole. In addition to the entrance under the bookcase, the cave has an exit under the tree in the garden and on the mountain behind it. It's just that it has been sealed from the perspective of the hexagram, you can also look for it."
Jagger was a little dumbfounded when he heard what Lin Qingyin described. He didn't expect that there was a hole under his great-grandfather's house. However, he had no doubt about the result Lin Qingyin had calculated. After all, Lin Qingyin even said clearly about the garden of his great-grandfather's house, the back mountain and the bookcase in the room, which makes it hard not to trust her.
It happened in the morning in the United States. Jagger hurriedly called his parents, saying that he had found a Chinese master who used the magical Zhou Yi to figure out the place where his great-grandfather's relic was placed, which was in the hole under the bookcase.
Jagger's parents were a little surprised to hear this. Jagger's grandfather used to go to the countryside once a week to clean and repair the house. This year, Jagger's grandfather and grandmother also sold the house in the city and moved to the house left by their great-grandfather to take care of them, but they never found any holes in them.
Although I think what Jagger said is incredible, Jagger's parents relayed the incident to his father Dudley. After hearing this, Old Dudley didn't even have time to hang up, so he hurried to the study and asked his wife to push the heavy bookcase away by half a meter.
There is a thick layer of dust on the floor under the bookcase, even the original color of the floor is covered, and it looks nothing special. Old Dudley showed a disappointed look, but he and his wife still brought hygiene tools to clean up the hygiene here.
In the process of vacuuming, Old Dudley found that a floor near the wall stepped on and the sound was a little empty. He quickly handed the vacuum cleaner in his hand to his wife and wiped the floor clean with a mop. There is a small square slot in the middle of the two floors, just enough to fit a finger.
Old Dudley immediately squatted down and put his hand in, touching an iron ring inside. He hooked the iron ring and pulled it upwards, unexpectedly lifting the next floor, revealing the red iron door below.
Old Dali happily threw the floor aside, and opened a dozen blocks in one breath. It was only when the iron doors of half a meter in length and width hidden under the floor were all exposed did he laugh with excitement. It was obviously here. The entrance to a cave.
Old Dudley took a deep breath. He didn't expect that a hole was actually hidden under the bookcase. The Chinese master was simply amazing. I just don't know if the tunnel was dug by the old father himself or it has existed a long time ago. After all, this house has a history of more than 100 years.
Carefully moved the iron door away, revealing the stone-polished stairs and dark tunnels. The hole in the ground that has been sealed for many years must be let out to allow people to enter. Old Dudley left the entrance open and went down to the bottom of the garden and made a circle. After shoveling a lot of soil, he found a stone gate. This is the sealed entrance that the Huaguo master said.
Old Dudley didn't want to open this stone gate, he just wanted to verify that what the master said was correct, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Jagger's father, Jason, rushed over after receiving a call from his mother. At this time, the entrance to the cave had been ventilated for more than an hour. Jason excitedly logged into the live broadcast software, ready to share the joy with netizens.
The live broadcast software that Jason logged in is very popular in countries around the United States, Stars and Stripes, and Canada. In addition, Jason’s use of the title "Chinese Master Zhouyi Calculated the Place of Grandfather’s Treasure" instantly attracted a large number of people. Netizens entered the live broadcast room.
Jason narrated the situation with his selfie stick, and took a photo of the entrance of the cave with a camera: "Now we have to go down and see if the medal is hidden in the cave like the Chinese Master Lin said."
Old Dudley used a thin rope to put the lighted candle in very carefully. After about a minute, he pulled up and saw that the candle was still burning. Then he took a bright flashlight and prepared to go down to the cave to find out.
The entrance is the steps, which are built of stone, and you can see that it has been at least several decades or even hundreds of years old. The ten steps are not long, but a little narrow. When they reach the bottom, they open up instantly, as if they were in a room.
Jason and his son took a flashlight to this underground room, which is about fifteen or six square meters in size. The whole room is made of stone. In addition to this entrance, there are two other passages extending into the distance. Jason patted that. Two passages squeezed their eyes: "According to Master Hua Guolin, one here leads to the mountain behind, and the other is in the garden, but it has been sealed."
The screen was filled with comments in an instant. Some asked to open the two exits to see if it was the same as Master Lin said, and some urged them to look for the medal.
When several flashlights were fired at the same time, the cave was instantly bright as day. Jason looked around and found several pictures on the wall. He walked over and took a look, his eyes were a little moist: "Look at the young and handsome soldier in this picture. This is my grandfather."
"Look at these happy lovers, this is when my grandfather and grandmother were young, they have always loved each other."
"I think this is really my grandfather's private space. That's right. He has hidden his most cherished photos here."
After enjoying the photos with the netizens in the live broadcast room, Jason came to the middle of the room with his mobile phone. The layout here is very simple, with only an old single leather sofa. Next to the sofa is a tall table on which is placed a silver teapot and cup. The teapot and cup do not know how many years they have stayed here, but now they have turned black on the surface.
In front of the sofa is a long table with an old-fashioned magnifying glass, a wooden spectacle case, in addition to a cup of photo albums and a little worn suitcase.
Old Dudley opened the album gently. The first photo in it was his five-year-old photo, when he was riding on his father's neck, holding a toy gun in his hand, and his small mouth was puckered round. It seems to be imitating the sound of a gun.
Old Dudley's eyes were red when he saw this photo: "Look, this is the first photo in my life. At that time, my father came back from the army to visit relatives and brought me this toy gun as a gift. My mother specially borrowed the camera to take pictures for us. In fact, I haven't seen these old photos since my mother passed away. I always thought they were lost a long time ago, but my father kept cherishing them all the time."
Old Dudley flipped through the photos in the album, and every time he saw one he could remember the story behind the photo. Jason and the netizens all quieted down and relived the good old days with Old Dudley.
After reading the photo album at last, Old Dudley took out his handkerchief to wipe away the tears of the meal. Then he took the suitcase on one side, gently dusted it off, and solemnly opened the suitcase.
There are many old objects in the box, and the two medals on the top.
In an instant, the live broadcast room was boiling!

Jagger has been upset after talking to his family on the phone. He especially wanted to know if there was a hole in his great-grandfather's house, and he also wanted to know if he found the medal.
As time passed, Jagger finally received a call from his father Jason after dinner. As soon as the call was connected, Old Dudley’s excited voice came: "God, the Zhouyi of China is so amazing. Yes, we really found a hole under the bookcase, and found my father’s medal and all other things in it. It’s amazing."
Not to be outdone, Jason yelled: "I deliberately broadcast the treasure hunt. You must watch the replay. I promise you will cry."
Jagger's heart that had been hanging around was finally let go. He turned on the social system, only to find that his father's live broadcast had been edited into clips and posted on the Internet. Many netizens can't help mentioning the Chinese master Zhou Yilin mentioned by Jason while enjoying the excitement of searching. Many American netizens have a keen interest in the mysterious Zhou Yi.
Jagger was particularly excited when he saw the comments, and excitedly left a message: "I am the grandson of old Dudley, the master Zhou Yi I asked to calculate for our family. It is a beautiful Chinese girl who is in China. The best imperial capital university to study mathematics, usually still teaches Zhouyi to students in the club. Speaking of which, Master Lin was introduced to me by one of my good buddies Colin. She helped Colin's grandfather find the one who had been lost for 60 years. Brother, you have to know that Colin's family has been looking for it for 20 years, but there has been no news. Master Lin Qingyin helped him fulfill his wish in only two minutes."
Jagger’s comments are like firecrackers, which exploded in an instant. Not only Americans, but also people from several surrounding countries who saw the videos and comments were also full of curiosity about China’s Zhouyi, and felt that it was even better than China’s martial arts. It's amazing.
Lin Qingyin always felt restless after calculating the hexagram for Jagger, as if something bad was about to happen. But she couldn't do fortunes for herself, and Jiang Wei didn't know how to do fortunes. Lin Qingyin could only call Fatty Wang in Qicheng and let him do fortunes for herself.
Fatty Wang is still okay with his face now. Gua Yao is a bit difficult for him. He squatted in the room for a day, and finally combined a Gua for a prosperous business. Fatty Wang felt that he must be wrong when he saw the hexagrams he had combined. Prosperous business is a good thing. How could it make people uneasy.
Seeing that Fatty Wang couldn't figure it out, Lin Qingyin called Zhang Qidou, who he met on Qindao. Zhang Qidou had also been advised by Lin Qingyin, and Lin Qingyin had a half-teacher friendship with him. After Zhang Qidou heard that Lin Qingyin was uneasy, he hurriedly started a hexagram, but the hexagram image was also prosperous, and he didn't figure out bad things. Now Lin Qingyin is strange, his intuition can't go wrong, where is it? Isn't it right
Lin Qingyin was puzzled for several days, and felt that her heart became more and more flustered. While she was thinking about how to avoid it, a group of blondes who didn't know where she came from surrounded her, one by one excited. Cheekbones are red.
"Master Lin, I want to fortune!"
"Master Lin, I want to worship you as a teacher!"
"Master Lin..."
"..."
Listening to the bird's words in his ear, Lin Qingyin covered his face in despair: Jiang Nanzhou, Platycodon, what did you two do!
The author has something to say:
Jiang Nanzhou: Master, it's none of my business.
Kikyo: I don’t seem to be doing anything...
Lin Qingyin: I will never fortune to foreigners anymore!
