Chapter 2, The Art of Divine Physiognomy

Isn't it just selling this broken book? Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it..." Chu Yang forced himself to nod. He had originally intended to refuse, but upon seeing the old Taoist's ethereal demeanor, he inexplicably decided to agree to him

His pupils constricted slightly, and he was astonished to see various columns of luck rising from the heads of passersby out of thin air. These columns of smoke varied in color and thickness. Especially after witnessing this, strange thoughts flickered and vanished in Chu Yang's mind.

"Hey, that old Taoist is running quite fast!" Chu Yang muttered, but he did not pay much attention to it. However, at that moment, a strange scene occurred. He saw the pages of the book in his hand begin to flip, and the originally formless characters suddenly flickered and all drilled into the depths of his brow.

In the smoke column of the golden fat man, there is a golden fortune as thick as an arm, while the other fortunes appear somewhat calm. However, surrounding the golden fortune are two intertwining purple charms, one bright and one dark, which are continuously devouring the golden fortune

Wait! I think I just saw something...

"I guessed it! However, I must warn you, it would be best to find a way to cut off contact with them, as they are all here for money!" Chu Yang reminded, feeling a sudden joy in his heart

However, just with this glance, Chu Yang felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, his stomach empty as if something had been drawn out of him. He hurriedly crouched down on a patch of grass by the roadside.

The old Taoist seemed to be muttering to himself, or perhaps lamenting, as he gazed with a sense of relief at the small black dot of the speeding vehicle disappearing in the distance, softly murmuring: "Young man, do not forget to burn some paper money for the old Taoist..." His voice gradually grew faint, yet it could penetrate the hearts of people, as if it were a once brilliant light fading away in the tumultuous world.

What is unexpected is that this change begins in an instant and ends in an instant. Chu Yang only felt a blur before him as he received these profound words. After that, no matter how he flipped through it, this book "The Divine Physiognomy" remained completely unresponsive

"Forget it, let me find a job first! Let's go, we should return and pay the rent first." After receiving the cash, Chu Yang decided to go back immediately to pay the rent, so he wouldn't keep worrying about it.

If this is truly the case, then Chu Yang is a master of divination. He can foresee fate with this extraordinary ability, even amassing countless riches. He desires to stand out, and now the opportunity has arrived, occurring right before him!

"Alright, my friend, I will heed your advice!" Although Jin Pangzi did not understand why Chu Yang would say such a thing, the fact that Chu Yang was aware of it and even reminded him indicated that he had his best interests at heart. Thus, Jin Pangzi took out two stacks of cash from his pocket and handed them to Chu Yang, smiling as he said: "Twenty thousand silver dollars, enough for you to stay in a villa!"

Chu Yang reacted almost instinctively, noticing the various colored pillars of fortune above these individuals' heads. Each color represents a different type of fortune: gold signifies wealth, yellow indicates official success, pink represents romantic luck, red symbolizes good fortune, purple denotes charm, and black signifies misfortune. The thickness of the pillars determines how one's future destiny will unfold

A mere dying man, it is better not to mention his name! Young man, I wonder if you could grant an old Taoist a request? The old Taoist stood against the wind, a gentle smile on his face. Yet, when he spoke, his tone was so light and carefree, as if he viewed death with the utmost indifference.

Although he knew that this person was lecherous, with just one phone call, Jin Panzai brought over two stacks of cash, which spoke volumes about their relationship. However, after confirming his judgment, a wave of excitement surged through Chu Yang's heart; he had actually learned to read fortunes

Who is a road bully? A traffic police officer

In this world, there are originally no ghosts or deities, but one can determine a person's fate through various phenomena. For example, Jin Pangzi, Chu Yang deduced from the aura smoke column above his head that this fellow was entangled in a romantic affair with women, and it involved two girls.

After a while without anyone responding, Chu Yang looked up and saw that the old Taoist had already vanished without a trace. The passersby on the street continued with their activities as if nothing had happened.

Just at that moment, a brand new Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped in front of him. After the car door swung open, a plump man in a suit stepped out wearing black leather shoes, complaining aloud: "They say when borrowing money, you are the grandson, and when repaying it, you are the elder! You, on the other hand, have become the elder without even borrowing the money..."

As his gaze swept across, Chu Yang felt as if his eyes were coated with a dreamlike golden halo, cool and refreshing, much like wearing contact lenses

Jin Pangzi's lips trembled twice as he lowered his voice to retort, "How do you know?" This fellow was very secretive about his double-dealing, as if he were afraid that others would find out.

"Fatty, I have a question for you." Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to speak up and asked, "Have you recently gotten involved with two women? And are they currently asking you for money?"

I know you are quite puzzled, but purchasing this ancient book for ten yuan is undoubtedly a guaranteed profit! If you manage to reach the pinnacle in the future, remember to burn some paper money for the old Daoist at Yunbai Mountain... The old Daoist smiled faintly, as if the vast changes of the world were all contained within that smile.

Chu Yang held this wordless "Divine Physiognomy" in a daze. There is a saying that goes well: when one is starving, a pie falls from the sky, and anyone would be stunned by it.

After Jin Pangzi rolled his eyes, he walked over, his waist bulging. At first glance, one might think it was two lumps of fat, but in reality, it was two stacks of cash.

After squatting by the roadside for quite a while, Chu Yang finally regained his senses. He couldn't help but look around, searching for the figure of the old Taoist priest, hoping that the old man could personally explain to him what was going on. However, the old Taoist had long since vanished, and it was impossible for Chu Yang to find him.

"Yunbai Mountain? Where is Yunbai Mountain..." Upon hearing this, Chuyang was at a loss as to where this mountain was, so he could only ask the old Taoist priest while also flipping through this ancient book to see what was so extraordinary about it.

Get in! A strange light flickered in Jin Pangzi's eyes, and he readily agreed. In fact, Chu Yang's rented room is not far from here; it only takes a few minutes to walk there. However, if an unattended Mercedes-Benz is parked on the street, it is likely to be forcibly towed away by a road bully in less than half an hour

Chu Yang muttered to himself, yet he did not dare to move recklessly again. At that moment, he inadvertently glanced at the passersby on the street. However, this glance startled him so much that he nearly jumped up!

Chu Yang was so overjoyed that he almost burst into tears, yet he could only maintain his composure for the time being. In his heart, he secretly vowed: "Since the old Daoist has given me an opportunity, I must cherish it. With this, I will surely make a name for myself"

If nothing unexpected occurs, Chu Yang can directly determine based on the "Divine Physiognomy" that Jin Pangzi is likely a second-generation rich individual worth over 10 million. He is currently entangled with two women, which has resulted in a diminished golden fortune

Chu Yang scratched the back of his head, his face full of confusion, then rubbed his eyes, yet he did not notice anything unusual there. However, this time he had learned his lesson and did not use the "Divine Physiognomy Technique" to observe a large crowd of people; instead, he decided to focus on just one person.

For instance, the sense of smell, the sense of hearing, and the facial features of a person, among others, are all crucial elements that Chuyang uses to determine an individual's fate

... ...

Chu Yang knew that this guy had a lot in common with him during their university days, so he didn't say much and instead focused his attention on the column of luck smoke rising from the head of the golden fat man

This fellow is a second-generation rich kid, who inherited his father's food company and became a small boss right after graduation. To put it nicely, he is inheriting the family business; to put it bluntly, he is living off his parents. It is no wonder that Jin Pangzi complains mindlessly; it is truly because Chu Yang only made one phone call and then stayed here without moving, claiming to be observing.

The long-standing oppression has taught Chu Yang a great deal, and he has learned much as well, particularly the virtues of resilience and endurance. With this opportunity, he believes that his future life will undoubtedly be even more splendid

"Jin Pangzi, come sit for a while!" Chu Yang pointed to the grass beside him. This time, he truly enjoyed a stroke of fortune, as simply sitting here brought everything he desired.

As Jin Fatty drove away in his Mercedes-Benz, an elderly man dressed in a robe was gently panting at the street corner. It seemed as if he had lost all his strength, as he sat down on the grass with a kind smile playing on his lips

Indeed, I have grown old! I never expected that as soon as I descended from the mountain, I would encounter a genius fortune teller who is a successor. The heavens truly do not treat me poorly; this is also fate...
