A Buddhist bead rolled down to Gongsun Yi's feet. Gongsun Yi bent down to pick one up, put it in his hand and twisted it. If there is really cause and effect in this world, then if he killed Zhi Zhen today, was it a cause or an effect?
"Ha..." Gongsun chuckled, shook his head, dropped the beads, turned around and left the meditation room.

In Fulingyuan, Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng had dinner, and Princess Yuanheng asked Cui Wei to come and talk.
"Every one or two years when Master Zhizhen returns from his travels, he will visit an old friend. A few years ago, the old friend's hometown was hit by a disaster, and the whole family moved out of their original residence. He only left a message saying that he would come to the capital to find a way out. . After Master Zhizhen learned the news, he came to the capital to look for him."
Li Qingyi suddenly realized: "So Master Zhizhen came to Beijing to find this family? Is there anything special about this family?"
Cui Wei shook her head, "They are just ordinary people who lived by farming in their hometown. The reason why they settled in the capital was because the eldest son of this family was doing well in school and passed the exam to become a scholar. He came to settle in a town near the capital to help his son find a job. The good husband continues to study, while the couple delivers food to the city to earn some money to survive."...
"Then they met Master Zhizhen through the Wei family?"
"It doesn't matter. The couple went to the city to deliver food. As time went by, they got acquainted with the women who were purchasing goods from various prefectures. When the Wei family's purchasing woman was chatting, she mentioned that all the prefectures were trying their best to invite Master Zhizhen to come to the front. After going there, the couple learned that Master Zhizhen had come to the capital. After several meetings, Master Zhizhen found the mother-in-law and said that she could ask him a question as a way of thanking her. The mother-in-law was in charge of purchasing in the Wei Mansion and was a prostitute in her own right. She is good at calculation and knows that she is not destined to be rich and powerful in this life. Even if she asks, she doesn't know where to start and what to do after asking. So, she gave this opportunity to Mrs. Wei and herself. I asked for the body deed and three thousand taels of silver, and left the house."
Li Qingyi was surprised, "So that's what happened."
She looked back at Qin Zeng, "What do you think about this?"
Qin Zeng said: "Years ago, I had dealt with Master Zhizhen, and I thought it was unlikely that she would be bribed."
After hearing this, Li Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Master Zhizhen will not be bribed, but it does not mean that he will not be used."
Qin Zeng said "Yeah", "Someone has figured it out..."
Li Qingyi frowned, "But, what's the use? Since Master Zhizhen won't be bribed, she won't deliberately tell lies to deceive me. What's the use of arranging this?"
Qin Zeng looked at her and said, "Maybe it's because someone can't grasp you, so they want to know your fortune through the mouth of Master Zhizhen."
Li Qingyi frowned when he heard this and wanted to see her fortune?
Her heart was tense. It seemed that the reborn person also noticed her abnormality...
"Although Master Zhizhen will not lie, as long as the other person sees me, he will definitely be able to tell whether there is any mystery in my destiny. If Master Zhizhen shows a strange look, my mother will definitely ask questions out of concern for me. Master Zhen remained calm, mother did not ask further questions, and Mrs. Wei still had a chance to ask questions."
Qin Zeng nodded, "Indeed, the other party has really figured out everything. This style of calculating everything is very similar to a person.
Li Qingyi murmured: "Princess Lin."
Qin Zeng showed a look of confusion, "It's not surprising that she wants to know your details. What's strange is...she actually believes that someone has really opened his eyes and can see the fate of others."
"..." Li Qingyi didn't know how to explain it. She knew that Qin Zeng didn't believe this. After thinking about it, she said, "Maybe it's because Master Zhizhen read your fortune back then and everything he said came true. This makes people believe in Zhizhen." The words of the true mage are not fabricated out of thin air..."
Qin Zeng frowned slightly when he heard the word "fulfillment".
Gongsun Wanyan said that she once heard the old lady say "it has come true" in her sleep.
Li Qingyi added: "Furthermore, Master Zhizhen said that I will be doomed every time I meet 'three times' or eight times. This statement makes people have to believe it..."
Qin Zeng frowned deeply, obviously he had no idea about such a mysterious matter.
"No matter what, you and I must be more careful than before."
Li Qingyi agreed cautiously, and then asked, "I wonder what question Mrs. Wei asked Master Zhizhen?"
Qin Zeng said: "Mrs. Wei is very cautious this time. He Yantang is strictly guarded, and not even half of the people waiting around are left. There are only two people in the room, she and Master Zhizhen. However, the secret guard is secretly protecting you." One of them sneaked in long before that and saw Master Zhizhen leaving two words to Mrs. Wei."
Li Qingyi quickly cheered up, "What word?"
"One is a crop and the other is a ghost."
*****
The study room in the front yard of Wei Mansion.
On Wei Shicheng's desk were the words "禾" and "鬼" written in black and white.
He kept looking intently, his expression gradually changing from doubtful to solemn.
Outside the door, the boy whispered back, "Sir, the old lady is here."
Wei Shicheng calmed down after hearing this and stood up to greet him.
Mrs. Wei has been restless since she got the name Master Zhizhen. Now she couldn't help but come to the front yard study to find her son, just to ask what it meant.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw two words on the eldest son's desk, and asked directly, "Boss, what do these two words mean?"
Wei Shicheng's eyes reflected the candlelight, and there was a frightening aura in the darkness.
He stared at the two words in silence for a long time and said: "The word "Wei" is removed from the word 'nu', which means the word "禾" and "鬼". The ghost "禾" is ji, which is related to "緷". The word "禷" is "kui", which is related to "kui".
Mrs. Wei was even more confused.
Wei Shicheng raised his eyes to look at her, "Back then, I relied on the power of Princess Yuanheng and the Queen Mother to achieve great success in the Wei Mansion. This is how I got the word 'He Gui'."
Princess Yuanheng and the Queen Mother are both women, and the combination of He Gui and women makes them "Wei".
Mrs. Wei thought for a long time and understood her son's words. She asked again: "Then what is Guihe?"
Wei Shicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Guihe is connected to Kui, and Kui is the leader. In other words, if I want to climb to a position below one person and above ten thousand people, I have to go to Wei..."
"Fuck you?" Mrs. Wei frowned, looked at her son with dark eyes, and said slowly: "Is this girl directly referring to Princess Yuanheng?"
Wei Shicheng shook his head: "Not necessarily."

At the fourth watch, the sky outside was still glowing with a faint blue light, and Li Qingyi woke up from his deep sleep.
When Shilan heard the movement behind the screen, she quickly put on her clothes and got up from the couch where she was keeping watch outside: "Grandma, are you awake? The uncle went to work early in the morning and told the slave not to wake you up."
Li Qingyi rubbed his eyes and said, "Xie Rao's wine is really strong. I just drank a little and I got drunk."
