Chapter 617: The Old Fortune Teller
Jiang Family.
Jiang Xuxu relied on her own spirit gathering array to recover her lost spiritual power, and then she asked Xie Yunli and a few others to go to Hai City Hospital.
Jiang Huai brought back her team members and Su Mian that Tu Xingzhu had found that day.
Except for Xie Yunli and Bai Zhu who were arranged to stay in the hotel, everyone else was directly arranged to a private hospital under the name of the Jiang family.
As soon as Jiang Xuxu and his companions arrived at the door of the ward, they heard Tu Xingzhu's voice,
"Lu Nanxing! You were fine, but you still snatched my apple! Do you know how expensive this apple is?!"
Then, Lu Nanxing's voice pretending to be angry was heard,
"No matter how expensive the apple is, you didn't buy it. Xuxu had someone send it to me!"
"The apple I peeled is mine! I paid for it!"
"You are so annoying! I almost died, can't I just eat your apple? Who asked you to leave me and Xie Mingyu that day?!"
"I've told you so many times, I didn't leave you, it was that crazy woman who pulled me away!"
Jiang Xuxu listened to Lu Nanxing's clear voice inside and knew that she was well again. He knocked on the door of the ward and walked in.
The quarreling inside stopped abruptly, replaced by Lu Nanxing's aggrieved cries.
Jiang Xuxu then asked Lu Nanxing what happened after she was chased by the evil spirit that day.
Lu Nanxing still felt sad when she mentioned this.
"That day I really thought I was going to die..."
Although she could control some corpses, it was useless against such a powerful existence as the Unchanged Bone.
Even if the opponent was only a half-formed Unchanged Bone.
"At that time, he flew towards me, and his claws almost grabbed my neck, but he suddenly stopped at the end and knocked me away with his elbow."
Lu Nanxing had consumed a lot of spiritual power before, and was already weak. After being hit by that elbow, coupled with the influence of the evil spirit, she fainted directly after flying out.
Fortunately, the Unchanged Bone didn't attack her after knocking her unconscious.
Only then did she save her life.
After listening to Lu Nanxing's words, Jiang Xuxu looked thoughtful.
Thinking of the performance of the Untransformed Bone in the warehouse before, she said,
"Maybe it's not luck."
Because it has not been fully refined, the Untransformed Bone obviously still retains the consciousness of its human form. Otherwise, with the strength it has shown, Lu Nanxing might have died long ago.
Although they knew it, the people in the Xuanmen could not just leave it out.
Because no one knows whether it will completely lose its human consciousness in the future and become a complete zombie.
...
While talking here, Tu Xingzhu suddenly received a call.
The next second, the whole person stood up excitedly.
"The dean said my sister woke up!"
Several people were stunned when they heard it, but they still followed Tu Xingzhu to another nursing ward.
The person in the ward was Su Mian, one of the ninety-nine blood sacrificers in the warehouse that day, and the person that Tu Xingzhu had gone to save at the cost of quitting the academy competition.
Because of excessive blood loss and unstable soul, she almost died.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Bai Zhu and Senior Brother Jingze kept her soul hanging on all the way, which bought time to rescue her.
When they came to the ward, they found an old lady guarding the bed.
The old lady was about sixty years old, and looked a little haggard, but her eyebrows were gentle.
Tu Xingzhu, who was originally yelling at Lu Nanxing, became very obedient and even his voice became a little softer after facing the old lady and Su Mian on the bed.
"Dean, Su Mian, you'll be fine once you wake up."
"Brother Xingzhu..."
Su Mian was still a little weak when she just woke up, but she couldn't help crying when she saw Tu Xingzhu.
"I knew... you would come to save me."
Tu Xingzhu hurried forward and patted her head gently, his tone becoming more and more gentle.
"I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."
Jiang Xuxu and the others, especially Lu Nanxing, were stunned.
Who was the person who just spoke?
Where did this wandering ghost come from, and dared to possess Tu Xingzhu? !
As if noticing the expressions of the few people, Tu Xingzhu cleared his cough awkwardly, and then briefly introduced both sides.
The old dean looked at Jiang Xuxu and the others with a loving look in his eyes,
"You are good friends from Xingxing University? Great, that's great."
Because of some identity reasons and because Tu Xingzhu studied Feng Shui, he had few friends since he was a child.
Later, he was finally admitted to a good university, but Tu Xingzhu chose a Taoist college that he had never heard of.
The reason was that the tuition was cheap, only 500 yuan...
She really felt sorry for Xingxing.
After Jiang Xuxu saw the old dean's face clearly, he knew his identity, especially because there was a faint golden light of merit on the dean, which showed that he was a very kind old man.
It was a pity that neither Jiang Xuxu nor Xie Yunli were good at speaking, and they just nodded and greeted the old man's loving greetings.
At the critical moment, it was Lu Nanxing who took the initiative to step forward and act as a diplomatic representative, smiling and saying,
"Director, you call him Xingxing? I am also Xingxing, my name is Lu Nanxing."
With Lu Nanxing's presence, the atmosphere in the ward was not dull at all. Even when leaving, the old director held Lu Nanxing's hand and said that he would bring candy to see her tomorrow.
The way an old man expresses his love for the younger generation is to give her candy.
Because Su Mian's spirit had not recovered yet, the group did not stay in the ward for too long.
It was not until they left the ward that Tu Xingzhu was surrounded by several people.
From the old director's words just now, they already knew that Tu Xingzhu grew up in an orphanage before she was ten years old.
Unlike other orphanages that often receive donations, Tu Xingzhu's orphanage is just an unpopular orphanage in a small county town.
Over the years, it has survived with the meager government subsidies and the support of the old director.
Therefore, the children in the orphanage have always lived in poverty.
This situation continued until Tu Xingzhu was eleven years old.
One day, he suddenly met an old fortune teller on the street. The fortune teller thought that Tu Xingzhu had good physique and decided to adopt him and pass on his family business.
Tu Xingzhu thought that if the director adopted one less child, he could save some money, and he also wanted to learn some skills to make money, so he simply followed the old fortune teller.
Everyone in the orphanage thought he had the great fortune of being guided by a master like in TV dramas, and they were extremely envious.
However, the truth was that the old fortune teller did not have much.
He took Tu Xingzhu away simply to find a child to take care of him in his old age.
Although he knew fortune telling, he only knew the basics.
All his fortune telling skills came from books. What he
taught Tu Xingzhu were also things from those books.
Some of them he didn't even understand himself.
But Tu Xingzhu, who was only twelve years old, understood them. Not only
did he understand, but he also learned better than the old fortune teller.
From the age of fifteen, he often followed the old fortune teller to the stall, helping to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps in the back, and secretly sent the money he earned back to the orphanage.
The old fortune teller turned a blind eye to this.
He even gave him the ancient books that he had collected but had not understood at all.
Tu Xingzhu taught himself all the way, and slowly packaged himself into a well-known Feng Shui master in the county.
Later, perhaps because he felt that keeping him by his side would delay him, the old fortune teller disappeared for more than a month one day. When he came back, he said that he had found a place for Tu Xingzhu to learn the art properly.
Tu Xingzhu was actually not interested in any Taoist college at that time. He just heard that the tuition fee there was only 500 and there were proper diplomas, so he immediately accepted the offer.
Everyone knows what happened after that.
