Chapter 477 Yishu

Times Square, London, England.

The wide square is surrounded by tall buildings, but some of the decorations are somewhat Chinese.

This place is close to London's Chinatown, where many Chinese people have settled for a long time or lived in a short time. Over time, it has become a scene of combining Chinese and Western cultures.

It was afternoon, and the sun was already westward, and the air began to cool down. There were people coming and going around the square, including Chinese and foreigners. However, it was obvious that there were more yellow-skinned people. Many of them spoke in English and Chinese.

Assimilation of a nation has always started with language, strong assimilation is weak, and most assimilation is a minority. After several generations, even though the bloodline remains the same, the culture has changed and essentially changed.

The nation, bloodline and other things are actually empty. The key lies in culture and inheritance.

The demise of a nation has always started with culture.

However, unlike many other ethnic groups, the culture of the Chinese nation is undoubtedly extremely resilient and is easily difficult to be assimilated. Many Chinese living overseas have the idea of ​​making money overseas and then returning home in glory, and lack a sense of identity for overseas land.

Such a situation, coupled with the huge number of Chinese outside Shanghai, has created a Chinatown unique to China, which is spread all over the world!

Therefore, in Times Square, you can find many things with the unique style of Chinese culture.

For example, fortune telling is a business that depends on Feng Shui.

This industry has been a long-lasting end. Even in some corners of China's cities, the edges of squares, or under the overpass, you can see a group of old men and women wearing more retro clothes and pairs of sunglasses. In front of them is a yellow cloth with the five elements and eight trigrams of heavenly stems and earthly branches. People sit on the stool, and a stall is set up, and then the volunteers take the bait.

In such a group, most of them are scammers, and few of them are real talent and knowledgeable. Many fortune tellers, and even the most basic things like the Book of Changes, have not recorded them. Many times, they often tell fortunes and have to read books temporarily. This shows how good their level is.

But this is normal. People with real talents and knowledge have long been regarded as guests of honor by the powerful and have a great status. Therefore, unless a very small number of experts are idle and have nothing to do, they play in the world, and those who appear in such places are all liars.

In this industry, the upper limit is as high as no boundaries, and the lower limit is as low as no boundaries, or even so low that you only need to find someone who can read and write, remember a set of rhetoric, and after a few days of training, you can go to work.

As for whether anyone will be deceived, the answer is naturally there. The so-called willing person takes the bait, who is an ordinary person who has nothing to do and goes back to a fortune teller to tell fortunes?!

Those who go to fortune telling have that demand, and the target customers have been screened once.

Many of these people don’t really want to figure out anything, they just want to be comforted, and they can only be considered as having their own needs.

This is like many scams that seem stupid at first sight, but people are really deceived. It seems incredible, but in fact it makes sense completely logically. There are all kinds of birds in the forest.

Another type of thing is to have fun and fun. The fortune teller who sets up a street stall has an advantage, that is, it is cheap, ten yuan can be counted or five yuan can be counted, and I don’t care about the calculation results.

So, although the fortune tellers under the overpass seem to have no business, in fact, from the long-term fortune tellers who set up street stalls under the overpass, you can see that this industry can make money, after all, there is no business.

At this time, it was very lively in a corner of Times Square. In this corner, there were fortune telling stalls, which were said to be stalls, but in fact they were very simple and unified. A small stool and a piece of yellow cloth were all there, and there was not even a table.

It’s not that I don’t want to have it, but to facilitate the escape, ordinary mobile vendors, although they are mobile, can occupy a place like the square, and they have paid the money.

As for not paying money, I want to set up a stall, it’s okay, so I have to run fast enough.

This corner is so lively, not because people who believe in fate hold a party here today. In fact, most people surround each other, but as for the several stalls around, there is no business.

There were even one or two fortune tellers who didn't even care about the stalls and went to the crowd to join in the fun.

The stall surrounded by many people has the same equipment as simple. It is also a yellow cloth house and a small stool. It cannot be yellow. It has the pattern of the five elements and eight trigrams of the heavenly stems, earthly branches, and five elements and eight trigrams. In addition, there are four big characters, which are counted as nine points in the sky.

Below the four big characters, there is another line in English, which is the English translation of the word "Suan Jiufen", which can be said to follow the local customs.

At first glance, the biggest difference between this stall and other stalls is that there are two people in this stall, both of which are fortune tellers.

There was just a person sitting on the stool, and there was another person standing respectfully beside him with his hands hanging down, looking very respectful.

Obviously, this is a pair of masters and apprentices, but the apprentices are not young. They look like they are in their thirties and are nearly forty years old. As for the master, they are naturally older, probably in their seventies or eighties. But although they look older, the master is in good spirits.

"Why is it so lively here?!"

Some people who had just been attracted by the excitement came over to ask the people around them, but were curious about what the situation was like here.

"What else can you do? Master Yi knows?!"

Someone responded, and his tone seemed to know that Master Yi was a very strange thing.

"Master Yi, is it that Master Yi? The one who wrote the book of Bu Yitian?!"

"ah!"

"That person actually appeared here, it's such a strange thing."

"That's not."

"This person, it is said that Bu Yi's way has been cultivated to the point of changing one's fate. He can easily change a person's fate. No matter how great your fortune is, you will have to suffer a lot of bad luck in an instant. On the other hand, even if you have a bad luck, you can change it into a huge fortune. From now on, you will be arrogant and unstoppable."

Someone replied.

"Just eight years ago, in the Oriental Pearl, Master Yi used Feng Shui skills to fight against the world, fighting against the three immortals and seven ghosts of Feng Shui alone, and used one person's strength to set up seven major Feng Shui situations. That was a huge and magnificent..."

"You haven't mentioned the point. Master Yi's book of Bu Yi Tian is the real master of Feng Shui. It is said that as long as you are a person with normal intelligence and read this book thoroughly, you will definitely become a Feng Shui master."

"It's a pity that the original manuscript of this book was destroyed in the early years, and Master Yi said that this book was deprived of the world. It was a pity that the book was unknown and he was unwilling to rewrite it!"

At this time, the crowd in front of the stall became more and more lively. Every word of the conversation became more and more lively, just like Master Yi was a great celebrity.
