Chapter 299: Gu-xiang


    “Granny, what do you mean by innate bone structure?” Ke Xun decided to ask step by step.


    “Here, right here,” the olddy extended her wrinkled, orange peel-like hand and shakily touched Ke Xun’s forehead. “The skin of a person is called the <em>pi-xiang</em>. The bones inside are called the <em>gu-xiang</em>, the innate bone structure. When judging a person and their fate, <em>gu-xiang</em> reveals most of it.” RmQA97


    From behind, Wei Dong muttered quietly, “Can this olddy’s street-side fortune-telling really be urate…”


    He would rather she be inurate, rather she be like those street-side fortune-telling scammers… all lying.


    Zhu Haowen spoke unemotionally, “It is said that in the scientificmunity, there is research and theory that suggests ‘one can judge a person’s character, adaptability, and psychological functions based on the shape of the skull.’ So using skull shape to judge and tell fortunes isn’tpletely baseless.”


    Wei Dong: “… I don’t know whether to feelforted or rmed by what you said…” EVFNJR


    Zhu Haowen ignored him, his gaze continued to fall on Ke Xun’s full, round forehead under the old woman’s withered hand.


    “Are you referring to the shape of the bones when you say <em>gu-xiang</em>?” Ke Xun continued to inquire further.


    The old woman shook her head, her finger pointing at the center of Ke Xun’s forehead, “The shape of the bones is also called <em>gu-xiang</em>, but what I mean by -<em>gu-xiang</em> is the essence, energy, and spirit of the bones. Bones are the fundamental root of the physical body, so they manifest in the face. The essence, energy, and spirit shown on a person’s face are actually those of their bones. However, some essence, energy, and spirit can be seen through the <em>pi-xiang</em>, while some are rooted deep within the bones. What I see in your <em>gu-xiang</em> is the root appearance deep in the bones… Unfortunately… my old eyes are dim, my skill not enough, I can see but not clearly, and what I see clearly, I do not recognize…”“What do you mean by not recognizing?” Zhu Haowen also walked a few steps forward to the bedside and asked.

    The old woman looked up at him, then withdrew her hand from Ke Xun’s forehead, making a gesture in the air, “There is something on your <em>gu-xiang</em>… ck and blurry, covering it all…”


    Wei Dong, Luo Bu, and Wu You shivered upon hearing this. “That gave me shivers,” Luo Bu said as he rubbed his arms.


    “Do you mean the bones themselves are ck, or is there something ck on the surface of the bones?” Zhu Haowen continued to ask.


    “Not on the surface,” the old woman shook her head, her cloudy eyes intently fixed on Ke Xun’s face, “inside the bones.” ZLWnpF


    “Are the entire bones ck?” Ke Xun, feeling ufortable under the old woman’s gaze, couldn’t help but rub his face.
