Chapter 334: Chapter 334: The Mysteries of Metaphysics

Liu Dayou’s expression was very serious.

Serious, yet tinged with a hint of gravity.

This expression appears in Liu Dayou’s daily life only under one circumstance.

That is when he divines a hexagram, and it turns out to be an ominous one!

Chen Xiao looked at him and asked, "Get married to break bad luck? Why would I need that when everything is fine? Did you secretly divine for me?"

Liu Dayou has a habit of divining early in the morning.

Sometimes, if the hexagram suggests that it’s not a good day to go out, he can spend an entire day in bed, doing everything there!

Liu Dayou wasn’t cryptic or enigmatic, he nodded directly and said:

"Yes, I did a divination for you this morning and found signs that you’ve got some evil spirits hanging around you!"

Chen Xiao’s face didn’t show much emotion, but his heart was already in turmoil because of Liu Dayou’s words.

"Good grief, it’s this accurate?"

"But did he see something? So, he’s deliberately saying this?"

"Probably not. The inheritance of Chinese culture for thousands of years might truly have such mystical powers!"

Chen Xiao thought to himself, his expression becoming serious: "Dayou, tell me honestly, how did you find out?"

"It’s just the hexagram. You’re my big brother, my future hinges on you. But, I am myself, so on odd days I divine for myself, on even days for you."

After saying that, Liu Dayou added, "Brother Chen, I’m very fair, because if you do well, and I’m gone, it’s worthless to me, right?"

Chen Xiao nodded with a bitter smile: "Very fair, but you should still tell me about the hexagram."

Liu Dayou squinted his eyes: "Have you encountered anything strange lately? Or brought something odd back home? Hmm, I can tell from the hexagram that being haunted by evil spirits not only affects oneself, but could also harm one’s descendants!"

"At the least, a severe illness; at the worst, a disaster involving blood!"

Chen Xiao’s eyes suddenly froze.

Now he finally realized Liu Dayou’s real capability, recognized by the police!

Before, having some understanding of Liu Dayou in a previous life, he knew his strengths in divination.

Yet with their interaction, Chen Xiao felt Liu Dayou’s skills were mystical but not significant enough for the police to value so highly.

Now, he truly felt it!

"Ten Demon Sons" was sent to Chen Xiao by Lou Xiaodong.

Which means the previous owner of "Ten Demon Sons" was Lou Xiaodong.

Was Lou Xiaodong affected?

He was already dead!

Were Lou Xiaodong’s descendants suffering?

Although Lou Yang courted disaster on his own, if viewed through the lens of mysticism, it all aligns perfectly!

Regarding mysticism.

Chen Xiao doesn’t fully believe it, but he thinks it’s essential to maintain some respect at times.

After all, his rebirth is quite mystical!

Chen Xiao seriously thought: "So the solution to this problem is really to get married to break bad luck, is that right?"

"Of course, joy can dispel a lot of the gloom around a person. But the main thing is, if you really encountered something or picked up something unclean, you have to get rid of it or destroy it as soon as possible."

Chen Xiao nodded, glanced at the black plastic bag Liu Dayou brought, and laughed:

"Your idea of a happy event is having a child?"

"What else? I can’t suggest you and sister-in-law remarry, that would be even more inauspicious!"

"But having a child is a long process."

"It just shows your lack of understanding. The joy begins the moment conception occurs!"

Chen Xiao suddenly understood but didn’t say more.

Liu Dayou stated earnestly, "Bro, you know me, typically, I wouldn’t come to you like this. If I come to you, there has to be a reason. So, you’d better trust me; anyway, it doesn’t really affect you and sister-in-law, right?"

"Hmm, you mean well," Chen Xiao said appreciatively.

Liu Dayou chuckled, rubbed his hands, and said, "Then, some funds? Fortune-telling isn’t expensive, five hundred will do!"

Chen Xiao cheerfully pulled out five hundred yuan from his wallet.

Liu Dayou’s eyes brightened: "Five hundred is for the divination, and I shouldn’t have told you explicitly about the hexagram. Speaking it out is like revealing the secrets of the heavens, which shortens one’s lifespan. My life isn’t worth much, but this time I’ll lose a month of it!"

Chen Xiao squinted, smiling at him, and Liu Dayou suddenly shrank his neck, somewhat intimidated.

"A half... half-price deal is fine!"

Chen Xiao gave all the five thousand yuan in his wallet to Liu Dayou, patted his shoulder, and said:

"If you’re short of money, just tell me directly; I know you. You seem greedy for money, but you won’t use a lot of it. Is something happening at home?"

Liu Dayou sighed: "Isn’t it just my wayward sister, who, when she was young, fell head over heels for a boy from out of town and insisted on marrying him. She called home a few days ago, didn’t say much to my mom before she started crying."

"My parents were worried and want to go see her. But as you know, usually, I’m the kind of person who only feeds himself, and suddenly needing money now is really worrying."

Chen Xiao knew Liu Dayou didn’t come looking for money in the first place.

As they talked, Liu Dayou placed his hopes on Chen Xiao, also using the divination as an excuse to see if Chen Xiao could help gather some money.

Chen Xiao considered for a moment and asked, "Your parents haven’t gone yet, right?"

"Nope."

"Does your sister have kids?"

"Two daughters."

"Then your parents going there means it’s the first time for the grandparents to meet the granddaughters."

"Yes."

"Then this bit of money doesn’t do much, I’ll go get some cash for you, better to have more on hand."

Liu Dayou is someone who loves seeing money.

But he really doesn’t ask for much.

Each month he just needs Chen Xiao to give him some living expenses.

And Chen Xiao would indulge him.

But now that Liu Dayou has issues, Chen Xiao couldn’t just ignore it.

Otherwise, it would chill people’s hearts.

Chen Xiao took Liu Dayou to the bank, withdrawing thirty thousand in cash.

He gave it all to Liu Dayou, saying: "Tell me if it’s not enough."

Liu Dayou looked at the cash in his hands, momentarily stunned: "Bro, I can’t pay back this much!"

"Don’t need to repay it; if you really want to, pay with your body," joked Chen Xiao.

Liu Dayou immediately turned his back on Chen Xiao, pretending to pull down his pants, and said with gratitude: "Bro, go ahead, even if it’s on the street, I wouldn’t care."

"Get lost, hurry and get things at home sorted out, later I’ll arrange a proper job for you, so you can have a stable income like Xiaoji Knife Man."

Liu Dayou quickly agreed.

He loves money but not ill-gotten wealth.

Chen Xiao had talked to him about salary before, but Liu Dayou refused.

Because Liu Dayou felt that simply reading fortunes wasn’t worth that salary.

But if it was a salary earned by his own labor, he wouldn’t refuse it.

Chen Xiao drove Liu Dayou home, then called Lin Xi.

He felt Liu Dayou’s words needed to be taken seriously!

"Ten Demon Sons" needed proper handling, and the marriage to break bad luck couldn’t be delayed either.
