Fortune-Telling at a Street Stall: The Archaeology Team Fell to Its Knees

Chen Buyu sets up his fortune-telling stall on a pedestrian bridge. He has just one rule: three readings a day, no more. Online commenters all call him a fraud, until an archaeologist jokes with him over a livestream connection: “Master, can you tell me where this ancient tomb is?” Chen Buyu glances at the livestream and casually replies, “Don’t dig at the main entrance. There’s a toxic wind buried inside from three thousand years ago. Go three steps southwest, and you’ll find a drainage outlet I left there back in the day.” The whole internet bursts into laughter, but when the archaeological team follows his advice, they uncover an intact royal tomb from the Shang dynasty. Even more astonishingly, an inscription on the tomb wall reads: “Mr. Chen saved my people from the flood.” The team leader drops to his knees on the spot. Chen Buyu calmly packs up his stall. “I told you, I was just passing by.” But the next day, the National Museum sends him a confidential letter: his corpse has been found beneath the ice in the Kunlun Mountains.
