Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 692 Destiny
First let me tell you that this is a true story...

This is an era of rapid technological development. Most of the miracles that the ancients could not have imagined have been realized now. Technology has realized everything, and people no longer believe in the existence of fate.

But when we think that fate is illusory, it actually exists. Destiny dominates our life, and with every turning point in our life, it determines our wealth, honor, disgrace; joys and sorrows.

Many people have found that despite all their life's struggles, they cannot escape the shackles of fate.

But in ancient legends, there used to be a person who could adjust the aura through spirit stones, thereby changing the fate of living beings. This person's name was Jiang Ziya.

"Grandpa, what does this shop sell? Why is it always closed?" A child pointed to a small shop called Fate Hall in a residential area of ​​Z City and asked his grandpa.

"This is a fortune-telling hall. It is a place where people with magic power ask the gods to peek at the secrets of the sky and help humans to predict the fate~~", the old man replied in an old voice.

"Fortune-telling? Ahaha~~, I get it, my mother said that there are no gods in this world, people's fate is up to them, and fortune-tellers are all liars!",
The child laughed innocently.

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense." The old man immediately covered the child's mouth,
"Tell you, life is predestined, don't dare to talk nonsense, be careful..., offend the gods...".

The wind chimes outside the door kept shaking, making pleasant sounds. Fate Hall hadn’t opened the door for more than a month. Chen Zhi had already gotten used to staying in the dark. He felt that it was very quiet in the dark. Things that I couldn't figure out before are now figured out.

His father's original room was changed into a dark room by him, and all traces of his father's original place were taken away by Chen Zhiqing.

Now there is nothing in this dark room except a big sofa. Chen Zhi closed the door. In the dark room, the young corpse on the ground was glowing with phosphorescence.

Phosphorus is a mineral secreted by the human body immediately after death. It can make the corpse very conspicuous in the dark. The corpse was dripping with water, its brows were tightly frowned, and its ashen face was full of sorrow. Can't forget the hurt this world has brought him.

"What should I do with you..." Chen Zhi looked at the corpse under his feet indifferently, with an expression that was almost sympathetic.

Chen Zhi is in his twenties this year, and he is the owner of this "Fate Hall" numerology shop. This is his hometown Z City, a small city in the northeast that is famous for its rich steel products. Everything in the whole city smells of steel.

Different from other numerology halls, Chen Zhi is a person who really has mana, which is unbelievable in modern society, and no one would believe it.

Before that, Chen Zhi once had an unknown glorious past, those brilliance could almost burn out everything in this world, he had fought, sacrificed, and been weak, but he finally discovered that people can never Even if he can get rid of the shackles of fate, he will never be able to get rid of the torment of guilt in his heart.

In the end, those brilliance gradually faded, and Chen Zhi came back, living alone in this small city, staying in this destiny hall, silently recalling the past, and soothing the scars on his heart.

The late autumn in the Northeast is always mixed with cold rain. Chen Zhi sits alone in the hall, as usual, the outside of the Fate Hall is always deserted, and there is no guest in sight.

Fate Hall is a double-storey residential building converted into a small loft. There are some display cabinets in the lobby on the first floor, and bedrooms on the second floor.In the display cabinet on the first floor, there are some bracelets made of various beads, which are colorful and look no different from those sold on the street stalls.

But a few strings of beads were covered with a thick glass cover, under which were drawn mantra pictures, and outside was a transparent enchantment that glowed with light blue light. These beads were so transparent that no one could see them except Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi knows the value of these beads. These are spirit stones, the most precious things in the world. They can turn an ordinary person into a star that attracts everyone's attention overnight, and they can also make people fall into hell instantly.

It was getting dark quickly today, and the number of pedestrians in the community gradually decreased, only the street lights were shaking, but Chen Zhi opened the shutter door, and he was waiting for someone to come to him.

Sure enough, when it was completely dark outside, the doorbell rang outside. Through the transparent glass window, Chen Zhi saw a thin boy shivering like a leaf in the cold wind.

The boy was fourteen or fifteen years old. He was very thin, his face was very pale, as if stunted, his hair was stuck to his face by the rain, and his eyes were melancholy and empty, as if the sun in the whole world could not illuminate the darkness in his heart.

After the boy came in, he seemed a little embarrassed at first, he kept rubbing his hands, and looked at Chen Zhi in a panic.

"You came to see me, right? What's the matter?" Chen Zhi sat on the sofa, held up a cigarette, and looked at the embarrassed boy.

"I'm now..., no... no." The boy was nervous and incoherent, his face was flushed, and finally took out a card from his pocket.

It was a very ordinary business card advertisement with the slogan:
"Fate Hall! Can solve all your problems!"

"This is..., this is what I found in my schoolbag just now, I don't know who put it in~~",
The boy muttered, his face was flushed shyly, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Chen Zhi.

"It's not important~~", Chen Zhi looked at the boy, put the cigarette on the ashtray,
"But just like what is written on that card, I can indeed help you solve some troubles, but you need to pay a little price!".

The boy immediately became vigilant after hearing Chen Zhi's words. In today's society, even a high school student knows to beware of liars.

"I..., I'm just a student, I don't have much money!"

"The price I'm talking about is not money..." Chen Zhi replied,

"And you don't need to worry about this now, you just need to tell me now, what is your trouble?".

"I……",
The boy looked at Chen Zhi with wide eyes. After hesitating for a long time, a mixture of shame and inferiority appeared on his thin and yellow face.

"I..., I want to be brave..., I, I don't want to be bullied again~~".

"Courage?",
Chen Zhi looked at him with a smile,
"Of course, when people live in this world, they will encounter various problems. This is determined by your aura, and it is also your destiny. Destiny is born with you. But if you need it, I can help you with it. A little tweaking...".
