Records of a Taoist Master Catching Ghosts.

Summary

The passage describes a meeting at the Phoenix Grand Hotel, where a master and Uncle Cong (a fortune-teller) join a group including Xu Dian, Huang Ding Ding, and others. Uncle Cong demonstrates his fortune-telling skills by accepting 50,000 from Huang Ding Ding to read her fortune. He explains the concept of merit in divination, suggesting that good deeds protect fortune-tellers from negative consequences. After carefully examining her birth details, the master reveals a shocking prediction: Huang Ding Ding will experience great wealth before 20, then fall into extreme poverty after 20, attributing this to karmic retribution for her past treatment of money.
