Chapter 21 (1/2)
The neighbors nied the stools to surround Lin Fan
Aunt Zhang and her son stood one side, wanting to see Lin Fan's capabilities The art of fortune-telling, was, after all, a h today's society was so advanced, many would still approach fortune-tellers for advice on the important occasions in their life However, it didn't mean that many believed it Most people did it for the sake of consolation
The opening was simple Lin Fan felt that there was a need to answer everyone's sood with their languages and could give a sound explanation, then the Encyclopedic Points would definitely be in the bag
”In the 'Spring and Autu was known as the study of the Yin Yang & Five Phases of Chinese Philosophy It only flourished in the Tang dynasty, or it could be said that fortune-telling originated froreatHe created the 'four coluht characters today”
Lin Fan tried his best to explain clearly but the neighbors were all lost in the sea of infore to understand his words When Lin Fan was finally done with explaining, nothing happened
Literally, none of them understood what he had explained, thus he did not receive any Encyclopedic Points
Lin Fan sighed and thought, ”This damned life, the Encyclopedic Points are so difficult to earn”
”Master Lin, why not we just go ahead with the fortune-telling? We couldn't understand you despite your detailed explanation” Mr Zhang sarette
”Alright”
Lin Fan looked closely at Mr Zhang's face Fro already But to these neighbors, they were just there to join in the fun But in actual fact, they were still doubtful of Lin Fan They just listened to how profound the idea was but how could they believe in as being preached? The fortune-tellers in the streets these days are all scauous words but it ultimately depended on whether the listener believed in their words
Then, his entire life flashed past Lin Fan's eyes ”Zhang Guo Ming, sixty-three years old, will die at eighty-one years old, will suffer a small disaster on the 30th of July at 2 poods” The life of Mr Zhang could be said to be smooth, with little or no major issues 30th of July was the very next day But as Lin Fan thought of the rules in the ical encyclopedia, he knew that he couldn't tell it to Mr Zhang directly
”Mr Zhang, soht happen to you to Don't worry toothe news to him as he saw the fearful look on his face
”Xiao Fan, you're not scaring htened by Lin Fan Although he did not really believe Lin Fan, he still felt a strange feeling ”Hehe,” Lin Fan smiled and said ”Don't move any heavy objects tomorrow and you'll be fine”
”Move things? What heavy things?” Mr Zhang said Lin Fan shook his head, smiled sheepishly and said, ”It's a secret, just reood”
Lin Fan was afraid of being too direct with his words as he did not want to be struck by lightning and end up as a handicapped man
But Lin Fan could tell that Mr Zhang did not really believe him To Lin Fan, what needed to be said, had been said There's always an end to life They were lucky to be able to find Lin Fan to fortune-tell for them Ultimately, it all depended if they believed in him since he had already said what he needed to say
”Mr Zhang, did you hear what Master Lin said? Be more cautious tomorrow”
The surrounding neighbors jeered at him
Mr Zhang turned his head to his left and right and felt a little unhappy Why would he be faced with a disaster? But these were all requested by hiry
”Elder Zhang, Master Lin has already told your fortune You gotta pay” the neighbors laughed andto leave
”I a to have an accident to hoh and left Lin Fan shook his head and did not pursue the matter further
”All of you should have thought things through I can read your fortune but if you hear so that you dislike, you shouldn't be unhappy Life is like this- you can't always lead a good life and likewise, good thingsand since we're all neighbors, I will dofor free” Lin Fan said
”Xiao Fan, people look at the eight characters when they fortune-tell Why don't you ask for them?”
The way they greeted Lin Fan had changed After what happened with Mr Zhang, some of the people did not call him Master Lin anymore
