The Mysterious King

Chapter 5 Rites

Free things are the most expensive! Zhou Mingrui muttered silently, planning to wait and firmly refuse any additional services.

With the ability, you can divine that I came through time and space!

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui followed the woman with a red buttered face and bent down into the low tent.

The tent was very dark, with only a small amount of light seeping in, faintly illuminating a table filled with cards.

The woman wearing a pointed hat was not affected at all, her black long skirt fluttered around the table like water, sat opposite, and lit a candle.

The dim yellow swayed, and the tent seemed bright and dark, instantly adding a sense of mystery.

Zhou Mingrui sat down quietly and glanced over the tarot cards on the table. He found himself familiar with the main cards such as "Magician", "Emperor", "Hanging Man", and "Temperance".

Comrade Russell, is he really a 'senior'? I don't know if he's a fellow villager of my foodie empire, "Zhou Mingrui said with a slight movement of his mouth, feeling a daze.

Before he could finish reading the opened cards on the table, the woman who claimed to be "very clever in divination" reached out and stacked all the tarot cards into a pile, pushing them in front of him.

You come shuffle and cut the cards, "the diviner said hoarsely.

I'll wash it? "Zhou Mingrui instinctively asked.

The fortune teller, with a blush of butter on his face, said with a faint smile:

Of course, everyone's fate can only be divined by themselves, and I am just an interpreter

Zhou Mingrui was immediately vigilant and asked:

Is there no additional fee for interpretation

As a keyboard folklorist, I have seen many similar tricks!

The fortune teller was noticeably stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said in a muffled voice:

Free of charge

Zhou Mingrui let go and stuffed a little more of his revolver into his pocket, then calmly extended his palms and skillfully shuffled and cut the cards.

Alright, "he placed the shuffled tarot cards in the center of the table.

The fortune teller clasped his hands and carefully looked at the cards for a while before suddenly speaking:

Sorry, I forgot to ask, what are you doing divination for

Past, present, and future

This is a type of divination card formation in Tarot cards, with three cards arranged in sequence, symbolizing the past, present, and future.

The fortune teller first nodded, then turned up the corner of his mouth and smiled, saying:

Then please shuffle the cards again and be clear about what you want to ask in order to shuffle out symbolic cards

Zhou Mingrui's facial muscles twitched, took a deep breath, retrieved the tarot, reshuffled and cut the cards.

Is there no problem this time? "He placed the cut cards on the table.

No problem. "The fortune teller reached out his finger, picked up a card from the top, and placed it on Zhou Mingrui's left side, his voice becoming increasingly hoarse." This card symbolizes the past

This card symbolizes the present. "The fortune teller placed the second card directly in front of Zhou Mingrui

She picked up the third card again and placed it on Zhou Mingrui's right hand:

This picture symbolizes the future

Okay, which card do you want to see first? "After finishing all this, the fortune teller raised his head and looked deeply at Zhou Mingrui with his gray blue eyes.

Let's take a look at 'now' first, "Zhou Mingrui thought slightly.

The fortune teller nodded slowly and flipped the card in front of him.

This card depicts a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a gorgeous headdress, carrying a cane on his shoulder, luggage hanging from the tip of the cane, and a dog pulling behind him. The serial number is "0".

Fool. "The fortune teller whispered the card, and his gray and blue eyes fixed on Zhou Mingrui.

Fool? Tarot's zero number plate? Start? Include all possible beginnings? Zhou Mingrui is not even a beginner enthusiast of Tarot, so he can only give himself a rough interpretation based on his impressions.

Just as the fortune teller was about to speak, the cloth door of the tent was suddenly opened, and strong sunlight shone in, causing Zhou Mingrui, whose back was facing there, to instinctively squint his eyes.

Why are you pretending to be me again! Divination is my job! "A female voice roared angrily," Go back! Remember, you're just a trainer

A trainer? Zhou Mingrui adapted to the light and saw a woman at the door who was also wearing a pointed hat, black skirt, and painted red butter, but was taller and slimmer in size.

The woman sitting in front of him quickly stood up and said displeased:

Don't mind, I just like this. I have to say, sometimes my divination and interpretation are quite accurate, really

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt, bypassed the table from the side, and quickly left the tent.

Sir, can I help you interpret it The real fortune teller looked at Zhou Mingrui and asked with a smile.

Zhou Mingrui moved his lips and sincerely asked back:

Is it free

No, "the real fortune teller replied.

That's okay. "Zhou Mingrui put his palm back into his pocket, pressed on the left wheel and the banknote, and bent down to get out of the tent.

What bad luck! I found a trainer to do Tarot divination!

Isn't a trainer who doesn't want to be a fortune teller a good clown?

Zhou Mingrui quickly put this matter behind him and spent pennies on a less than good pound of lamb at the "Lettuce and Meat" market. He also bought items such as tender peas, cabbage, onions, potatoes, and other items, along with the previous bread, for a total of 25 copper pence, which is 2 sul pence.

Money can't help but be spent, poor Benson. "Zhou Mingrui spent two banknotes and an extra penny in his pants pocket.

He casually sighed, no longer thinking much, and hurriedly returned home.

With the staple food, we can proceed with the transit ceremony!

When the tenants on the second floor left one after another, Zhou Mingrui didn't rush to carry out the ceremony. Instead, he translated words such as "Blessed Life Xuan Huang Xian Zun" into Gufusak and Ruen. If the original spell didn't work, he planned to try again in the local language the next day!

After all, we have to consider the issue of two different worlds, doing as the Romans do when in Rome.

As for the translation into ancient Hebrew for prayer and sacrifice, Zhou Mingrui had difficulty completing it due to his insufficient vocabulary.

After finishing all this, he took out four loaves of rye bread from the paper bag. One loaf was placed in the corner where the coal stove was originally placed, one loaf was placed on the bottom inside of the dressing mirror, one loaf was placed at the top of the cabinet near the intersection of two walls, and one loaf was placed on the right side of the desk where debris was stacked.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mingrui arrived at the center of the room and calmed down for a few minutes before taking a solemn step, walking counterclockwise in a square.

As he took the first step, he murmured:

Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Xian Zun

Step two, he sincerely recited:

Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Tianjun

Step three, Zhou Mingrui held his breath and whispered:

Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Da Di

Step four, he exhaled turbid qi and silently recited:

Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Tian Zun

After walking back, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and waited for the outcome in place, with expectations, unease, hope, and fear in his heart.

Can you go back?

Will it have an effect?

Will there be any unexpected situations?

The darkness in front of Zhou Mingrui was tinged with the deep red brought by the light, and thoughts surged in his mind, making it difficult to calm them down.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if the air around him had stopped flowing, becoming sticky and eerie.

Following closely, whispers rang in his ears, sometimes delicate, sometimes sharp, sometimes illusory, sometimes tempting, sometimes manic, sometimes insane.

Even though he couldn't understand what the whispering voice was saying, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but listen and distinguish.

His head ached again, as if he had inserted a steel rod.

Zhou Mingrui only felt that his mind was about to explode, and his thoughts were tinged with psychedelic colors.

He knew it was wrong and tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't complete this simple action.

The whole person became increasingly tense and could break at any moment. Zhou Mingrui inexplicably had a self deprecating idea:

If you don't seek death, you won't die

He could no longer bear it. As the string in his mind was about to break, the countless murmurs of noisy voices faded away, and the surroundings became very quiet, creating a rather fluid atmosphere.

Not only the atmosphere, Zhou Mingrui felt that his body was also drifting.

He tried to open his eyes again, and this time it was very easy.

The diffuse gray mist fell into his eyes, hazy, blurry, and boundless.

What is this situation? "Zhou Mingrui looked around in surprise, then lowered his head and found himself floating on the edge of an endless gray mist.

The gray mist flows like a stream of water, dotted with dark red "stars", some large, some small, some hidden deep, and some floating on the surface.

Looking at this holographic scene, Zhou Mingrui reached out his right hand, half confused and half exploratory, trying to touch a deep red "star" floating on the surface on his right side, looking for a way to leave.

As soon as his fingers touched the surface of the star, water streaks suddenly surged out of him, causing a "deep red" explosion, resembling a dreamy fireworks.

Zhou Mingrui was startled and his right hand was hastily retracted, accidentally encountering another "deep red" star.

So, the "stars" also shone brightly.

So, Zhou Mingrui felt his head empty and his spirit scattered.

In a luxurious villa in Queens, the capital of the Kingdom of Wayne, Bakeland

Audrey Hall sat in front of the dressing table, rubbing the ancient and cracked bronze mirrors on the table.

Mirror, mirror, wake up

In the name of the Hall family, I command you to awaken

She changed her words one after another, but the mirror didn't respond.

After more than ten minutes, she finally chose to give up, pursed her grievances and muttered softly:

Dad is indeed deceiving me. He always tells me that this mirror is a treasure of the Black Emperor of the ancient Solomon Empire and an extraordinary item

Before she could finish speaking, the copper mirror placed on the table suddenly burst into a deep red light, enveloping her in a moment.

In the Sunia Sea, a three masted sailboat that was clearly behind the times was sailing through a storm.

Alger Wilson stood on the deck, his body undulating with the turbulence, easily maintaining balance.

He was wearing a robe embroidered with lightning patterns, holding a strangely shaped glass bottle in his hand. Sometimes bubbles rolled inside, sometimes frost gathered into snow, and sometimes wind blew marks.

The blood of the ghost shark is gone, "whispered Alger.

At this moment, a deep red explosion erupted between the glass bottle and his palm, instantly flooding the surroundings.

Above a gray mist, Audrey Hall regained her sight and looked around in fear and confusion. She saw a man with a hazy head and figure diagonally opposite, making similar movements.

Following closely, they almost simultaneously noticed a mysterious person standing not far away, shrouded in a gray and white mist.

Mysterious person Zhou Mingrui was also stunned.

Sir, where is this

What do you want to do

Audrey and Alger were stunned at first, fell into silence, and then coincidentally spoke up
