Word-measuring odd man Xie Shi

Legend has it that in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a strange person in Sichuan, called Xie Shi, who was good at measuring words. There are many legends about him.

It is said that once upon a time, a newlywed couple, married for three months, due to poverty, the husband went out to make a living, worked to earn money by selling his strength, and planned to earn some silver by his own strength to improve his life with his wife. On the day of separation, the two of them hugged their headaches and cried, clinging to each other, and finally the husband left a copper coin and embarked on the road. However, at this time, the wife is pregnant, pregnant in October, giving birth to a son, the wife pulls the child with difficulty, the two are embarrassed to live, the wife misses her husband day and night, and looks forward to her husband's early return, but she does not know how her husband is in the situation, will not be a fortune to forget herself, right?

One day there was a fortune teller on the street, and the neighbors all persuaded the wife to count it, so the wife used the only copper coin left by her husband as a gua zi to ask Mr. To measure the whereabouts of her husband, and the fortune teller set up a stall to ask the situation, so that the wife could write a word and break the auspiciousness. The wife thought that the word "good" meant good, so she wrote the word "good" on the paper, and the husband looked at it and said: Oh, this word is not good! The wife was stunned and asked what the meaning of this word was? The gentleman said: "Your 'good' word is a person plus two layers of soil, it seems that your husband has been in the soil for two years." After hearing this, the wife cried loudly, and Mr. Word Measurement saw that he had caused trouble, and did not dare to ask for any more money, so he hurriedly packed up the stall and walked away. Neighbors saw that their wives were so sad, they persuaded their wives one after another, "I don't know if what mr. Na said is true or not, how can I fully believe it, do you want to find someone to help you see it?" At this time, Xie Shi came from afar, the bystander stopped Mr. Xie, asked Mr. Xie to help look at it, Xie Shi looked at the little daughter-in-law who was crying uncontrollably by the side of the tree holding the child, and then looked at the word "Jia" that had just been written, so he said: "Don't be sad, you can rest assured, your husband will come back, the word 'Jia' is a 'person' next to two 'eleven'." Two 'eleven' are twenty-two, and people come to the twenty-second day of this month. You carry the child to the tree, the tree is 'wood', two people leaning on the wood is the word 'come', and your husband will be allowed to return home on the twenty-second day of this month. The wife listened to the turning of sorrow into joy, and quickly thanked the husband, and stayed until the twenty-second day, the wife set up the banquet, ready to welcome the return of her husband, and sure enough, his husband returned home from outside the guanxi, but when he saw the banquet, he felt confused, and thought in his heart, I left home for a long time, and no one knew about the matter of returning home, it was not my wife who carried me behind my back to get along with other men, and lived happily all day with good wine and good food. At this time, the wife rushed to bring face wash water, took a towel on her husband's shoulder, let him wash his face first, and then said, the more the husband wanted to get angry: "Good slut, I'm not at home, who are you going to meet with?" "I. . . Later, the husband thought that if it was really as the wife said, then when he went to the neighbors to verify it, after the verification, the neighbors blamed the husband for being reckless, but the husband still did not believe that there was such a high person in the world, so everyone brought Xie Shi to let the husband and the husband talk about the scene of that day, and as a result, after Mr. Xie Shi came, he explained the scene of that day, the husband felt ashamed, so he planned to pay some money to thank Mr. Xie, and when he took out the handkerchief that packed the money, the husband used his mouth to grab the corner of the handkerchief, while counting the copper coins, and xie Shi was shocked. Hurriedly pushing her husband home quickly: "Someone in your family is going to hang!" It turned out that his wife's loyalty was misunderstood, so she was devastated and planned to hang herself, but fortunately she was saved in time. This time, the husband had great admiration and respect for Xie Shi, and also believed that Xie Shi was really a high-ranking person in the hidden city.

Later, Xie Shi's reputation for measuring words spread more and more widely, and once a reader wanted to make it difficult for him to report a "nai" word to ask him to test, Mr. Xie casually said: It is a word, and if you can't think of it, you are afraid that you will not be able to take the exam for life, and you will not be able to reach the first. Later, in this life, he was indeed named Luosun Mountain. Someone once asked with the word "Geng" in a book, and Xie Shi said, "Are you missing something?" The gold belt must be missing, don't worry, you'll find it in three days. And then it turned out. Another time when someone asked Liu Nian with the word "small", Xie Shi told him: "The 'small' character has the image of a white tiger injured and disabled, and the flowing years are more fierce and less auspicious, only if you are patient in everything and do not fight with people, then after ten days you can turn the crisis into safety." After the man listened to Xie Shi's words and went back, he quickly wrote Xie Shi's words on the cloth, and put them on his body day and night, and did not dare to forget them a little, so that when the nine days of the festival were spent peacefully and uneventfully on the tenth day, he went out to the market to buy, and when he passed through a miscellaneous alley, he just entered a vehicle carrying a catharsis passing by, and the doll pushing the cart was careless, the car turned to one side, and the catapult inside flew out, and his person was half dirty, angry, and when he was about to go forward to argue, he suddenly remembered Xie Shi's words, and everything should be more patient and then he was angry according to one of Nai's chests , do not bother with it. There knew that the pusher, I was afraid that he would ask for dirty clothes and ask for accompaniment, but he first grabbed people and forcefully said that it was because he had knocked down the car, and the implication was that he was going to start a fight, and the man had to apologize and endure the apology because he remembered Xie Shi's words, and later fortunately, after being relieved by passers-by, he was able to get out and return. After returning home to change his clothes, he fell asleep because he was tired and tired, and in his dream he saw the cart pusher, who said to him: "You and I are enemies of the world, you will beat me to death in this life, and in the next life I will let you pay for your life. Although you did not beat me to death in the morning, but my life expectancy has arrived, and when I pushed the cart to the mountain forest in the east of the city today, I still lost my foot and fell into the mountain stream, and my brain plasma overflowed and died, and so far no one has restrained me. If you can buy a coffin and bury me, the feud will be liberated. After the man woke up, the words of the cart pusher in the dream were as new as ever, so he rushed to the mountain forest in the east of the city, and when he saw that someone had died in the stream, he asked someone to bury him, and then he was safe and sound.

Later, it is said that Xie Shi once helped Song Gaozong measure words, and also intersected with immortals because of the art of word measurement.

However, from the perspective of the editor, the law has been practiced for thousands of years, and there is a unique magic in it!
