Chapter 181 Do you really think your family has a throne to pass on?
"Well, how do we do this specifically?" Old Man Cen asked immediately after hearing this.
"I need to buy some things, but I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring enough things. I'm afraid the old man will have to ask someone to prepare them." As he spoke, Yu Banxian listed a few things needed for the ritual.
Fortunately, these things are actually very common.
Old Man Cen immediately ordered Cen Dajiang and Cen Dahe to go to the village to buy it.
"The Yang energy is at its peak right now. It won't work. We have to wait until after noon, when ghosts show up." Yu Banxian said again.
There is a popular saying among the people that "ghosts show their heads at noon."
Therefore, Old Man Cen and others believed it firmly.
"In that case, the eldest wife and the third wife, the two of you should cook together today and prepare the most delicious food to entertain the immortal." He immediately gave another order.
"Well, no need to make too much trouble. Monks don't eat meat. Just give me a bowl of vegetarian noodles." Yu Banxian immediately flicked his whisk in an immortal manner and said.
"How is this possible? Half-immortal, you have to eat at least two eggs, right?" Gao looked at his pretentious appearance and wanted to laugh, but held it back.
"There may be a life inside the egg! I never kill any living thing, so a bowl of vegetarian noodles is enough!" Yu Banxian was very persistent about this.
After all, you have to do the whole show.
It doesn’t matter if he has a miserable meal.
Once I get the money, I can make up for it by having a few good meals outside.
"In that case, I will follow the half-immortal's wishes." Gao said respectfully.
On the side, Cen Yan looked at Yu Banxian's appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder he could always deceive people.
Look at this professional attitude...
Gao and Yu went to the kitchen to knead dough and pick vegetables.
Cen Dajiang and Cen Dahe quickly bought back the things needed for the ritual as requested by Yu Banxian.
For example, cinnabar, incense, candles, bronze mirrors, and glutinous rice water.
Yu Banxian was in the yard, arranging these things neatly on a stone table.
In this way, this stone table becomes a simple little "altar".
"Banxian, there is one more thing. Could you please help me calculate it?" Just as Yu Banxian was counting things, Old Man Cen suddenly came over and said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Yu Banxian had a calm expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, it's finally here!
"Please talk inside." Old Man Cen said, and led Yu Banxian into the house.
There was no one else in the room at the moment.
After Yu Banxian sat down, he took a sip of water and looked at Old Man Cen inquiringly.
"Well, it's like this. My family's luck has been very bad recently. I would like to ask the immortal to help see if there is something wrong?" Old Man Cen was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a scholar and should not believe in such things.
However, there is a saying that it is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist.
The saying "The Master does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or demons" seems to be just a lie.
If this is true, why do those high-ranking officials believe in this so much?
When he was studying, there was a classmate whose father was an official. He believed in this very much and often asked an old Taoist about his fortune. No matter what problems he encountered in officialdom, he would ask the old Taoist for help and advice.
At that time, he was very disapproving.
But the father of that classmate has always been successful in his career and is still in office until now.
This made him believe it.
At this time, Yu Banxian was holding a cup of water, listening to the request heard by Old Man Cen, and looked over meaningfully.
This is not to say that he knew exactly what Old Man Cen was thinking at the moment.
Instead, the request put forward by Old Man Cen was the highlight of his visit to Old Man Cen’s house today!
Because this is related to the cooperation matters proposed by the young boy yesterday!
He must play this important role well!
Thinking of this, Yu Banxian sat more upright and his expression became serious.
"What's wrong, Banxian?" Old Man Cen was a little nervous when Banxian Yu looked at him with such a meaningful look. Could it be that there was something wrong with the family's luck?
"In fact, as soon as I entered the door, I discovered that your family's fortune was affected by other people. However, this is a matter of heaven after all, and I can't say anything casually. If I reveal the secret, I will be punished by heaven!" Yu Banxian said with a bitter face.
"This..." When Old Man Cen heard that he was unwilling to talk, he became anxious and begged, "But Banxian, this concerns the well-being of our entire Cen family. I really can't watch the fortune of the Cen family decline like this! Otherwise, what will my descendants do in the future?"
what to do?
Do you really think that your family has a throne to pass on?
And to future generations?
Yu Banxian looked down on his idea in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
He just sighed in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but, old man, how old do you think I am this year?"
Yu Banxian pointed at himself and asked.
Old Man Cen was stunned when he heard this.
He began to look Yu Banxian up and down.
After pondering for a long time, he said cautiously: "It seems that the half-immortal is more than 40 years old? Still, still very young and strong!"
What he was thinking was that he had to talk about youth!
Even though he is a half-immortal, he should be at least fifty years old...
But we still have to talk about youth!
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Yu Banxian not only became unhappy, but also cried twice and wiped his tears twice.
"...Half-immortal!" Old Man Cen was frightened by his action.
"I'm actually only 33 years old this year, but I already look like I'm 40 or 50!" Yu Banxian said in a heavy tone, "And all this is just because I told fortunes for noble people, seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, and I revealed too many secrets! This is God's punishment for me!"
"It's actually so..." Old Man Cen didn't need Yu Banxian to say anything more, he already believed it!
Because apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason that could make a young man in his early thirties look like an old man in his forties or fifties...
But, in this case, how could he ask Yu Banxian to calculate the fortune of the Old Cen family? What went wrong?
Wasn't everything fine before?
When Yu Banxian saw the look of belief on Old Man Cen’s face, he almost laughed out loud!
So stupid!
No wonder I was tricked by that young boy!
"Alas!" He sighed in a pretentious manner, "If it weren't for those noble people who helped me these years and found ways to withstand some of the punishment from heaven, I'm afraid my hair would have turned completely white!"
"Is there any way to withstand the divine punishment?" When Old Man Cen heard this, he immediately felt that his hope had come.
This divine punishment must be a punishment from God for revealing the secrets.
If I do this myself, can I ask Yu Banxian to help me calculate it?
