The Tale Never Ends

Chapter 237: Physiognomy?

Views:

This person looks very ordinary, the type who would disappear if thrown into a crowd. Judging from the wrinkles on his face and some gray hair on his head, this person should be over forty years old, with a typical middle-aged and successful look. But what I can't figure out is why would such a person appear alone in such a restaurant

But then I realized, why would I pay attention to these things instead of why this person sat at our table for no reason? It was as if it was natural for this person to sit on our table, and there was no sense of violation at all. Everyone else looked at the middle-aged man, wanting to see what he said.

I noticed something strange, so I smiled and asked, "Uncle, what are you..." The man also smiled at me and said, "You guys don't seem to be ordinary people." , the corners of his mouth rose a little more. Although this man looked friendly, he gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. It's that feeling of "a smile with half a hint of fakeness". At that moment, I concluded that this person was a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Haha, how did you see that?" The middle-aged man still smiled kindly and said, "I know a little bit about physiognomy, and all of you are noble people." Chongxi Xue Lin Feng made the same noise and said, "Haha, since this uncle has this ability, how about you calculate it for us?" Chong Xi can be said to be a rare wizard in physiognomy, divination and divination, showing off in front of him This will naturally be ridiculed by Chong Xi.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man didn't seem to hear Chong Xi's sarcasm, but waved his hand and said: "I can only look at one person. You don't know, there are rules in this industry, and you can't calculate the second hexagram in a day." ." Chong Xi chuckled and was about to speak, but I waved my hand to stop her. Then I looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "In that case, just give me a face-to-face portrait!" The man smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and handed it to me. One stick. I raised the hand holding the cigarette butt under the table to show him that I was smoking. Xin said that such a person of unknown origin, who also claims to be a member of our art world, should not be accepted indiscriminately. God knows whether this person is a fortune teller or not. If he is a fortune teller, he will be in trouble.

The man smiled, lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking. I stamped out the cigarette butt I threw out of my hand, and then looked up at the middle-aged man. The man took a couple of puffs from his cigarette, and then he chuckled and said, "This young man has a great face. He has a great destiny and is destined to be extraordinary..." At this point, I can basically confirm that this man is completely He's a liar, and everything he says comes out of his mouth. Chong Xi also sneered beside him, but who knew that when the middle-aged man said this, he turned around and found that no one was paying attention to us. Then he leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "The young man's face is wrapped with dragon aura, which is like an emperor's." Ah! It can be said that as long as you think about it, young man, the world is at your fingertips!"

Hearing this, my heart couldn't help but tighten! I wonder if this person can really see something? You know, in terms of identity, it is true that I am a descendant of Emperor Yan, but I have no way of knowing where this imperial appearance comes from. And it was not without reason that Chongxi sneered at what he said just now. The reason was because Chongxi told me a long time ago that nothing could be discerned from my face.

After hearing what this man said, Chong Xi sneered and said: "Uncle, stop showing off here. I just heard you say that one day is not the second hexagram, and I thought you were a top-notch senior. Now it seems that you are You're a filthy liar. Do you want me to give you a face?" Then, without waiting for the middle-aged man's consent, he said: "Uncle, your face is not good..." He glanced at him sideways. The conversation changed and he asked the middle-aged man: "I don't know, uncle, do you know Cao Cao?"

The middle-aged man's expression froze after hearing Chong Xi's words, and then he frowned. However, his smile remained undiminished. He stood up, smiled at a few of us and said, "Since you don't welcome us, I'll take my leave." With that, he turned around and left.

Before leaving, he took out his wallet and summoned the waiter, saying, "I'll pay for these guys' meals." As a result, this man was ripped off by himself for more than three hundred yuan and left in despair.

After the man left, Lin Feng picked his teeth and said, "Is this man short of electricity? Are you here to show off your physiognomy?" Chong Xi echoed: "I'm afraid this man is the kind of man who just reads a photo book twice. The master who comes out to pretend to be 13."

The elder sister looked puzzled and asked: "Why?" Chong Xi sneered and said: "Sister Lan, you don't know something. Brother Yan's face is not something that ordinary people can tell. I tried to use physiognomy when I was a child. Go to Brother Xiang Yan. Guess what?" The old lady asked in agreement: "What's the matter?" Chong Xi spread her hands and said, "Nothing! Not only Brother Yan, but also Uncle Hai and my aunt, and of course I can't even get along with you, Sister Lan! It can be said that your whole family can't get along with you!"

It was the first time for Xiao Baihua and the elder sister to hear about it, and they looked very curious. I heard the elder sister ask: "Why can't you tell the difference?" Chong Xi explained: "Physiognomy requires eyes, ears, nose and even feeling. But no matter which of these aspects you start to read, there are three things that are different. Come out." Little White Flower asked curiously: "What three?" I continued: "Direct relatives, dead people or photos, and the other is non-human beings. In other words, physiognomy only works on non-blood relatives and the prerequisites are It has to be a living person.”

Xiao Baihua and her elder sister immediately understood that their elder sister and their mother were non-human beings themselves, and their father was not considered a human being either. My sister is a fox herself, and so is my mother. And dad, of course, is not a human being in the true sense, but an immortal.

At this time, the elder sister also had the same problem and asked Chongxi: "No, my father is a human." Chongxi smiled and said: "I can only say that Uncle Hai used to be a human." Xiao Baihua was confused and asked "How do you put it?" Chong Xi shrugged and said, "First of all, Uncle Hai is an immortal, a being higher than mortals. This alone is indistinguishable. Do you still remember the time when my master calculated Liu Ye's eight characters? ?" Everyone except the elder sister nodded. Then Chong Xi said again: "There is another concept in non-human beings, that is, people over a hundred years old are not considered human beings in the strict sense." When the old lady and Xiao Baihua heard this statement, they looked at each other blankly, and then He cast his doubtful eyes on Chong Xi.

Chong Xi explained: "There is a saying called 'people are old, spirits are old, ghosts are old', and this is where the saying that people become spirits after old age comes from. It is not only animals like Sister Lan that can become spirits. In fact, people who live over a hundred years old Strictly speaking, an old man who is still sober and sound is a human spirit." The elder sister and Xiao Baihua said "Oh" at the same time as if they suddenly realized something. Then the elder sister pointed at me with her chin and asked: "What about my brother? What's wrong with him? Can’t you tell?”

Chong Xi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. We were completely confused before as to why I couldn't recognize Brother Yan's face. I originally thought that Brother Yan was my long-lost brother, but later this idea was abandoned." When Xiao Baihua and Laojie heard this hypothesis, they also laughed. Chong Xi also smiled sarcastically, and then continued to explain: "Even after knowing that Brother Yan is the Sword Spirit of the Shiyan Sword, I still can't guess why I can't recognize his face. Even though he is the Sword Spirit, after all, Reincarnation as a human being theoretically has a face. The final conclusion can only be that Brother Yan and Shi Yanjian are one body, so the sword spirit in the human body is not a complete body, but half a person, so it cannot be seen."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement. But it was a long time later that I realized why my face was unrecognizable. Of course, this is a story for another day.

Chong Xi shrugged and said: "That old man just said what Brother Yan's face is like, but it's all nonsense. In this day and age, except for Master, I can probably count on one hand the people whose physiognomy is better than mine. I If you can’t figure out the physiognomy, I guess it will be better if the ancestor of physiognomy comes here.”

Everyone then nodded knowingly, indicating that that was the case.

However, I did not express my position at this time. My elder sister was the first to notice my gloomy face. When she turned around, she asked me: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" I looked up and thought about Chong Xi's words, and said: "It's nothing, maybe I'm too worried."

The quick-tempered sister couldn't bear to see this. She immediately reached out and patted my head and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
