"It doesn't matter, we'll find out if we go in and ask."

Jude Kao spoke, then walked in first and spoke to his servants.

"Hey guys, where's your boss?"

Qi Tiezui's servant Dao was a talkative character. Although he saw that the person who came was not from his country, he did not have any prejudice against him.

"Sir, I guess you are new to Changsha. People who have been here for a long time know that our boss doesn't like to come here very much. He has always been more Buddhist in doing business."

Jude Kao also smiled and continued to ask.

"I see that your market is small, and there are only a few people coming and going. Can the money your boss earns support you?"

The guy continued to work on his own things while speaking to Qiu Deka.

"I'm not sure about that. I don't know how much our boss earns, but our boss has never reduced our salary, and he is very generous."

"This is weird."

Lu Jianxun stood aside and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"This little shabby business has such a small opening price, it's a losing business no matter how you look at it. Where did Qi Tiezui get the money from? Could it be that the Zhang family subsidized it?"

Jude Kao heard Lu Jianxun mumbling to himself and couldn't help but walk over.

"I have heard a little about this Qi Tiezui. If Lord Lu is interested, I might as well tell you the rumors I heard."

"You might as well talk about it."

Lu Jianxun was already interested in it, and now that someone was willing to talk to him, he was naturally happy to listen.

"I also heard that Qi Tiezui doesn't rely on the market to gain power. He always tells fortunes for buyers. This is also called free fortune telling. Because he is very accurate in fortune telling, he is quite famous in the martial arts world."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile and stood up.

"It is precisely because of this that many people come to buy Qi Tiezui's products just to have him tell their fortunes for them."

"How accurate can his divination be? Isn't this just some trick?"

As an out-and-out soldier, Lu Jianxun obviously did not trust these strange things.

"I haven't experienced this, but according to rumors, his words are really accurate. It can be said that he is a master of magic."

When Jude Kao said this, he suddenly remembered something and continued to talk to Lu Jianxun.

"I heard that one time, a customer saw an incense burner in Qi Tiezui's shop. However, Qi Tiezui also had his own rules. He only sold antiques, not these incense burners. However, his assistant became greedy and secretly sold the incense burner to the customer, and then planned to keep the money for himself."

"and then?"

Lu Jianxun continued to ask, although he did not believe in these things, but when these things were mentioned, he did become somewhat interested.

"Qi Tiezui is a fortune teller after all, and his skills are amazing, so this matter was soon discovered by Qi Tiezui. He was very angry after discovering it. He was not angry because this guy enriched himself, but because the consequence of this guy's behavior was to offend the gods and ancestors. People in their business of the Old Nine Gates are particularly taboo about gods and ancestors, so they are particularly afraid of retribution."

"and after?"

Hearing this, Lu Jianxun became even more interested and couldn't help but continue asking, wanting to understand the whole story.

"After hearing this, the guy started to panic, and quickly admitted his mistake to Qi Tiezui, and then asked him if there was any way to resolve the situation."

Jude Kao continued what he had just said and spoke to Lu Jianxun.

"Has Qi Tiezui started fortune-telling?"

Lu Jianxun listened with great interest and continued to ask.

"Lord Lu is indeed smart."

Jude Kao first praised him and then continued speaking.

"Qi Tiezui then made a divination for himself and told the clerk to bring some money with him when he went to the village to collect rent in a few days. He should put the collected money under the box and also told the clerk to exempt him from paying the melon farmer's share."

As he spoke, perhaps because he was a little thirsty, he walked to the table and took a sip of tea before continuing his sermon.

"This clerk was also very obedient. He went to collect rent according to Qi Tiezui's instructions. When he came back, he admired Qi Tiezui very much, even to the point of tears of gratitude."

Hearing this, Lu Jianxun couldn't help but laugh, "I was saying that Qi Tiezui looked like a gangster, but he was able to rank eighth among the Old Nine Gates. He must have some abilities."

At this point, he continued to ask, "What happened in the middle? Was the offense finally resolved?"

Jude smiled and continued speaking.

"This guy encountered a robber on the road. However, this also shows the cleverness of Qi Tiezui's fortune-telling. The robber only robbed the money from the incense burner, while the money under the box escaped."

When Qiu Dekao heard this, he couldn't help but interject, "In fact, when it comes to fortune-telling techniques such as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, I have never seen anyone better than Qi Tiezui."

As he spoke, he continued.

"Later, the robber was caught very quickly. Miraculously, the robber was the melon farmer that Qi Tiezui asked his men to waive his rent for. I heard that the melon farmer did this because it had been raining heavily during that period of time, causing all the melons in his field to rot. He had no money to pay the rent, so he had no choice but to do this."

"Haha, now that you mention it, I find it interesting."

When Lu Jianxun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and he began to look at Qi Tiezui with a new respect.

"So this is what Qi Tiezui meant when he asked his men to waive rent for the melon farmers. If that's the case, his ability to predict the future is really strong."

"Yes."

Jude nodded, indicating that he agreed with what he said.

"Qi Tiezui is indeed a capable man. The melon farmer was really desperate at that time and had to become a bandit. However, the melon farmer himself did not expect that the man he stopped as a robber was actually the clerk. Because he was grateful for the clerk's kindness to him, he wanted to get money instead of his life. After taking the incense burner money, he let the clerk go."

"He is indeed amazing. No wonder the people in Zhang's house treat him so well."

Lu Jianxun also somewhat understood Qi Tiezui. After all, not everyone has the ability to predict the future. However, he was not stingy in praising Qi Tiezui.

Jude Kao also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Lu Jianxun.

"Yes, although Qi Tiezui doesn't seem to have the ability like Zhang Foye, his fortune-telling skills are excellent. After that incident, not only did his employees return safe and sound, but the rent money was also not damaged. From this, we can see how amazing Qi Tiezui is."

"This is really amazing. I originally thought that fortune-telling was just a trick used by charlatans to make a little money, but I didn't expect that there are actually people who understand this."

Jude Kao nodded, "I didn't quite believe it at first, but after learning more about it, I found that Qi Tiezui does have some abilities, and these abilities are quite useful."

Chapter 82 Ghost hits the wall

"But he also has things he is not good at. Although Qi Tiezui can tell fortunes, he is not proficient in weapons and kung fu at all."

Jude Kao continued to add that it was obvious that he had done some research on Qi Tiezui, otherwise as a stranger it would be impossible for him to know him so well.

"Then how much benefit did this Zhang Dafoye give him that Qi Tiezui was willing to follow him to the grave and do something that could cost him his life at any time."

Although Lu Jianxun had not greeted Qi Tiezui directly, he knew that this person was very careful about his life. After hearing Qiu Dekao's introduction, he found it very magical and continued to ask.

"They are brothers. Back then, when Qi Tiezui was a small-time businessman, he was attacked by someone else. Zhang Dafo saved him at the cost of his own life. From that time on, the two of them became more than just ordinary brothers in life. They instantly became friends for life and death. So, it was natural for them to be willing to go down to the tomb and sacrifice their lives for each other."

When Lu Jianxun heard this, he showed a look of understanding.

"No wonder Qi Tiezui usually looks so careless and not a very brave person. But every time Zhang Foye encounters something, he helps him with all his might. It turns out that these two people once had such a connection."

Lu Jianxun nodded, indicating that he had a general understanding of the matter.

At the same time, the two Buddhas, Big Buddha, Little Buddha and Er Yuehong walked into a cave in the ancient tomb respectively. However, the strange thing was that the steel wire on their bodies broke not long after they walked in.

"This……"

When the three people saw this situation, they all realized the impending danger, but since they had already taken this step, no one was willing to make the decision to give up.

So, after they hesitated for a while, they all continued to move forward tacitly.

At this time, Zhang Qihai came to a tomb. After observing it carefully, he couldn't help but began to mutter to himself.

"Strange, when I just left, I found that the layout of this place has its own rules, but I didn't expect that this tomb chamber is similar to the one I just walked through."

He muttered to himself and couldn't help but think in his mind.

"It's over, it's over. This is definitely not a good sign. There's a good chance that I'll run into the legendary ghost wall."

Thinking of this, he simply gave up the idea of ​​moving forward and sat down in the center of the tomb. Then, he told himself a fortune according to the method that Qi Tiezui had briefly taught him.

"Although I didn't learn the essence of his fortune-telling skills, I didn't expect his method to be quite useful. It's just that the layout of this place is a bit too weird. It's not something that ordinary people can enter and exit casually."

When Zhang Qihai figured this out, he couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"This is not a good sign. I don't know if I can figure out the reason behind it."

Zhang Qihai was thinking about how to continue using this fortune-telling method, trying to figure out the principle of this layout, but he had only learned this technique from Qi Tiezui halfway, and this tunnel was too mysterious for him, so he couldn't figure it out after calculating for a long time.

Zhang Qihai stood nearby and began to listen attentively to every sound coming from the cave. However, after listening for only a short while, he felt a dull pain in his head.

"Er Yuehong, brother, are you there?"

Zhang Qihai asked tentatively, and everything was just as he had imagined. He did not get the response he wanted, but voices began to come towards him from all directions.

Zhang Qihai once again stood in the middle cave, began to concentrate and hold his breath, and continued to listen attentively.

But he couldn't hear anything for a moment, because the sounds in every cave were exactly the same, and it seemed like some kind of call, trying to attract Zhang Qihai back in.

“Forget it, this is definitely not a good sign. I don’t know how my brother and Er Yuehong are doing now. I’d better wait here for a while.”

Zhang Qihai himself was not in a hurry. He knew the general direction anyway. Their journey to the ancient tomb would end safely, so there was no need to worry too much. Moreover, these cave entrances were like a maze. The more you wandered around, the harder it would be to find the exit. It would be better to stay in one place and calm down.

On the other hand, Er Yuehong’s situation was quite different from his.

Er Yuehong continued walking towards a cave, but when he turned into another passage, he found that there were broken mirrors all around him.

"Why are there so many broken mirrors in this place?"

Er Yuehong spoke to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little worried about the situation.

However, he still chose to continue moving forward, but when he crossed this passage and turned to another passage, he found that the situation did not allow for optimism.

"Isn't this the road I just walked? Why did I walk it again? The order of arrangement is exactly the same."

After Er Yuehong walked around, he found that this place was like a real ghost wall. He had already walked around the same road twice in a row.

"Could there be something wrong with these mirrors?" Er Yue Hong Xing was a little worried and couldn't help but start thinking in the direction of the mirrors.

He continued looking and found these mirrors extremely dazzling. Finally, he shone the flashlight over there. After the flashlight was shone on them, the mirrors instead emitted a rather strange reflection. Not only that, but this reflection seemed to have a confusing effect.

Er Yuehong stared at the mirror, and suddenly the shadow of the girl appeared on it.

"Girl, didn't I tell you not to come here? Why are you here? It's dangerous here, go away."
