After drinking, Hu Liang shared the wild bananas he found with Nan Chu.
Hu Liang carried the food and all the important tools with him, afraid of a repeat of the last situation where new guests suddenly arrived and stole supplies.
He didn’t want the supplies to be stolen.
After Hu Liang left, Nan Chu roasted by the fire for a while and then returned to the hammock to ditate.
Because of the rain, except for Hu Liang who was wandering around, the other guests chose to stay in their camps.
And so, they spent a rainy night.
After returning to the country, Nan Chu received a ssage from Master Fu.
He asked if she had ti to attend a fortune tellers’ eting tomorrow and if she was interested.
After confirming with Sister Zhuang that she had no plans for the next day, Nan Chu decided to go.
The next day, Nan Chu arrived at the location Master Fu provided at eight o’clock.
It was a farmhouse, run by a fortune teller.
"Nan Chu, over here." Master Fu waved.
Nan Chu walked over to Master Fu’s side.
"Master Fu, who is this?" Han Huo asked, scanning the scene.
"Old Han, she’s a celebrity. You don’t keep up with the entertainnt circle." Ge Hongbo chid in.
"Master Han is solely focused on his studies, how could he be concerned with irrelevant matters?" Kong Sen interrupted.
"This is Nan Chu. I participated in a variety show with this little friend before," Fu Qiu introduced, "This little friend has a real talent for fortune telling."
"Really?" Han Huo said skeptically.
"Master, you can test if you like," Nan Chu replied with a smile.
"Then tell , what are the ’Four Pillars’?"
Nan Chu replied without hesitation, "The Four Pillars are also called the Eight Characters, consisting of the Year Pillar, Month Pillar, Day Pillar, and Hour Pillar. Each pillar has two characters, with the top being the Heavenly Stems and the bottom the Earthly Branches, exactly eight characters, hence called the Eight Characters."
Han Huo continued asking, "Do you know the Thirty-Six Yin-Yang Mantras?"
"The Yin-Yang of Tai Chi, where Yin and Yang root into each other. Internal and external Yin-Yang, with soft and hard complenting each other. Upper and lower Yin-Yang, left and right Yin-Yang... Yin-Yang of the Eight Trigrams, representing heaven, earth, thunder, and wind, water and fire, mountain and lake... The 24 mountains represent Yin-Yang and directions... Yin and Yang create and overco each other, and the palaces of n and won interact similarly..."
Seeing Nan Chu answer so smoothly, Kong Sen couldn’t help but question her further, "What does a fortune teller need to master?"
"Tai Chi diagrams, Tai Chi halo, Yin-Yang, Eight Trigrams, Nine Stars, Five Stars, Five Elents, Double Mountain Five Elents, Celestial Stars, Sun and Moon, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Nine Palace Stars, Monthly Virtues, Three Periods and Purple White, Twelve Growth Palaces, etc."
Kong Sen continued, "Then tell , what are the Twelve Growth Palaces?"
"Desperation, Birth, Nurture, Growth, Bath, Dress, Managent, Prosperity, Decline, Illness, Death, Tomb."
"What are the Eight Deities?"
"The Eight Deities are divided into Yin Escape and Yang Escape. Yin Escape includes Direct Spirit, Flying Snake, Tai Yin, Six Harmony, White Tiger, Mysterious Warrior, Nine Earths, Nine Heavens. Yang Escape includes Direct Spirit, Flying Snake, Tai Yin, Six Harmony, Hook Chen, Vermillion Bird, Nine Earths, Nine Heavens."
...
...
Even the onlooking fortune tellers couldn’t resist asking questions.
So experts in Feng Shui also tested her with Feng Shui questions, all of which Nan Chu could answer.
After nearly an hour, these masters were truly impressed.
"What a promising talent!"
Pan Zhe: "This young friend, would you like to join my Ziwei Sect? It’s a large sect with good benefits."
Ren Qilin: "Young friend, co to my Qin Sect. You’ll learn more and also earn a lot."
Kong Sen: "Join my Five Elents Sect, we’ll provide board and lodging, and you can get full insurance."
Han Huo: "Join my Tai Chi Sect, I am the Sixth Elder there. I guarantee you will learn more taphysics knowledge."
Ge Hongbo: "Nan Little Friend, our Yellow Dao Sect is also one of the top sects. You should consider it."
Fu Qiu spoke up, "Nan Chu, ignore them. They’re just showing off."
Nan Chu replied confidently, "May I ask, does your sect offer knowledge related to divination? If so, I’d be willing to join."
Han Huo shouted, "My Tai Chi Sect includes famous magicians."
Even though he is a fortune teller, the sect includes magicians and Feng Shui masters.
However, each person majors in a different field.
Fortune Teller: Mainly uses a person’s birth date (Four Pillars of Eight Characters), sound, face features, body characteristics, and Yin-Yang Five Elents to calculate fate and fortune.
By analyzing this information, they predict personal fortune and offer guidance and advice.
The core of fortune-telling lies in the person’s birth ti, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which is the foundation of taphysics.
Magician: Usually refers to a person proficient in a particular skill or spell. In Feng Shui, a magician may include specialists in various fields like Feng Shui, divination, physiognomy, calendar selection, etc.
Magicians may involve a wide range of areas, including talismans, spells, etc., for invoking divine protection, banishing evil, healing, and blessings.
Feng Shui Master: Specialist in Feng Shui, analyzes geophysical energy, Yin-Yang Five Elents, and chooses building sites and layouts to adjust the environnt for auspiciousness and avoid misfortune.
A Feng Shui master’s work may extend beyond houses and graves to include interior design and selection of auspicious days, etc.
Nan Chu wanted to learn about magicians, and their sect has magicians.
Kong Sen: "My Five Elents Sect also has magicians."
Pan Zhe: "My Ziwei Sect does too. Young friend, you can join us and we’ll find you a renowned magician to ntor you."
Han Huo: [These shaless people, trying to steal talent.]
Ge Hongbo: "Young friend, you can add us as friends first. Take your ti to think it over, no rush to decide."
Nan Chu added each of these masters as friends one by one.
Han Huo felt he needed to use an extraordinary move. Such a promising talent shouldn’t go to another sect.
Han Huo discreetly left for a mont, pretending to go to the restroom but actually making a phone call.
"Great Elder, I’ve discovered a promising talent who wants to learn divination. Great Elder, you can take her as an apprentice." Han Huo imdiately inford the Great Elder about Nan Chu.
They talked for a few minutes before Han Huo hung up and returned to the hall.
Han Huo approached Nan Chu and said, "Young friend, our sect’s Great Elder is a magician willing to ntor you. Please accept the Great Elder’s friend request."
[Haha, this move is sure to make Nan Chu join the Tai Chi Sect.]
Nan Chu took out her phone and indeed saw a friend request, which she accepted.
Nan Chu received many docunts related to magicians.
[Tai Chi Sect Magician]: These are beginner materials for magicians. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask anyti.
[Nankai’s Dream]: Thank you, Master.
Nan Chu looked at Han Huo and thought, well, this move by Master Han is quite effective for her.
"Master Han, I am willing to join the Tai Chi Sect," Nan Chu said, "How do I join?"
"It’s simple. I’ll send you a link shortly. Fill out your information and submit the application, and then you can join the Tai Chi Sect."
Nan Chu thought she had to go to the Tai Chi Sect to join, not realizing joining a sect has beco so modern.
Nan Chu filled out her information and submitted it.
