Su Shi couldn't help but rub his nose and said with a wry smile: "With such energy as this old gentleman, I wouldn't be surprised if he lives to be a hundred years old."
Pei Xuan looked beyond Su Shi and looked at the sky in the distance.
The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly.
When he withdrew his gaze again, he said slowly to Su Shi, "There isn't much time left for you."
Su Shi was stunned, then smiled and said, "Although I don't expect to live to be a hundred years old, I should have no problem living to be sixty or seventy years old. I already have a lot of time."
Pei Xuan said quietly: "I remember you told a story."
Su Shi rolled his eyes. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember what story he told. He couldn't help but ask, "What story?"
"The story of a Taoist priest who divined fortunes for himself and finally had to commit suicide."
Su Shi smiled and said, "That's just nonsense on my part, it can't be taken seriously."
Pei Xuan said slowly: "I am that Taoist priest."
Su Shi's smile suddenly froze on his face, and it took a while before he managed to squeeze out a smile.
"What does the old gentleman mean by this?"
Pei Xuan said nonchalantly: "I also made a hexagram for myself and calculated my fortune. The hexagram showed that my fate ends at noon today. It is Si hour now, less than an hour before noon, so I said that I will leave it to you. time is limited."
Su Shi said: "It turns out that the old gentleman is still a Taoist."
"I have been a monk for five years, and then a Taoist priest for three years." Pei Xuan said: "Originally I wanted to avoid the cause and effect of the mortal world, but in the end I was still in the secular world and could not escape the cycle of cause and effect."
Su Shi said directly: "I don't understand. Although I can hear every word of yours clearly, I didn't understand a single sentence you put together."
"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that we only have one hour together. So you don't have to delay anymore, because by the time they find this place, I will be dead."
Seeing that Pei Xuan had seen through his scheming, Su Shi stopped going around in circles and immediately asked, "Was Cui Peng's death an accident?"
Pei Xun was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Su Shi's first question was about Cui Peng's death.
"Why do you ask this question?"
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Because I have never been able to figure this out. If Cui Peng's death was a deliberate plan, with the wisdom of the old man, so many flaws would not have been exposed. But if it was really an accident, everything would be too coincidental. I don't know. Sir, can you clarify my doubts for me?"
Pei Xuan was silent for a while and said, "Cui Peng's death can be regarded as an accident."
"Can it be counted?" Su Shi shook his head, not satisfied with this explanation, and said, "Monks don't lie, and an old gentleman shouldn't be vague when he speaks."
Pei Xuan sighed: "Although I had no intention of killing Cui Peng, he did die at my words."
"What is it?"
"Three days ago, Du Ziqi came here to talk to me. Before leaving, I suddenly said that he seemed to have not seen Cui Peng for a long time."
Speaking of this, Pei Xun showed a rare hint of awe in his eyes, and then continued: "It is because Du Ziqi remembered this sentence that he appeared in Pingningfang."
"Where is Zhao Liang? Why does he appear there?"
Pei Xun said: "Zhao Liang has been soliciting customers in Pingningfang for a long time."
Su Shi still didn't believe it: "So all this is really just a coincidence?"
Pei Xuan shook his head and said: "This is not a coincidence, but God's will."
Su Shi didn't understand again: "God's will?"
Pei Xuan said: "When you learned that Du Ziqi had killed Bai Jingchao by lightning, you said something. Do you still remember it?"
Su Shi naturally remembered it very clearly. At that time, he said that Du Ziqi's success was just due to luck, because the plan to trigger the thunder may not succeed even if it is implemented ten thousand times. After all, there are too many variables in it, which are too many to be predicted and controlled by human power.
"But do you know that when I thought of a way, I knew that Bai Jingchao would definitely die and there would never be any accidents."
Su Shi naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it directly, but asked politely: "Why?"
"Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. It is precisely because Bai Jingchao deserves to die, so as long as he has a plan, he will definitely die, and nothing will stop him."
Su Shi finally understood what he meant: "Is this what you call God's will?"
Pei Xuan said seriously: "This is God's will."
Su Shi suddenly smiled, because he really wanted to laugh, and he really couldn't accept such ridiculous words.
After laughing, he shook his head and sighed: "I do believe in the saying that those who do more injustice will be punished by themselves, but if you say that you can punish God on behalf of God, I absolutely don't believe it."
In response to Su Shi's question, Pei Xuan's expression did not change at all, and he just said lightly: "Have you ever thought about something?"
"What's up?"
"Why did this unexpected opportunity cost Bai Jingchao's life?"
Su Shi was about to open his mouth to answer, but suddenly he was stunned, and then his expression gradually became serious.
He originally said it was just a coincidence, but then he thought about it, was this coincidence considered God's will?
A damn person encountered a plan with a success rate of only one in 10,000, but this damn person died under this plan with a success rate of only 1 in 10,000. Is this really just a coincidence?
At this time, he heard Pei Xun say again: "Du Ziqi has done this kind of coincidence four times."
Having said this, Pei Xun looked directly at Su Shi and said, "You should know that it is impossible to create a perfect accident, because every detail cannot be perfect, and the mistakes in every detail are superimposed." Being together is enough to ruin this plan."
"so what?"
"Do you know that Bai Jingchao has never been in the habit of taking a nap?"
Su Shi suddenly felt his breathing become rapid. He took a deep breath, and then asked, "In that case, why did he take a nap that day?"
"Because he drank too much at noon. Bai Jingchao never drinks at noon, but that day the eldest prince suddenly came to Bai Mansion, and he was in a high mood, because Bai Jingchao had just donated one million silver to him, so the eldest prince came on a whim. White House.”
Su Shi muttered: "It was precisely because Bai Jingchao drank too much that he took a nap, and it was precisely because of the eldest prince's whim that Bai Jingchao was struck by lightning and died."
Pei Xun said calmly: "Then do you know what the appearance of the eldest prince means?"
Although Su Shi knew what Pei Xun wanted to say, he still shook his head firmly because he would never believe such a ridiculous thing.
Pei Xun smiled and said: "Although you have always tried to deny it, you have to agree in your heart that the appearance of the eldest prince is an arrangement of God's will."
Su Shi closed his mouth.
Pei Xuan took a look and continued: "There is another reason why I believe this is God's arrangement."
"what reason?"
"In addition to Bai Jingchao, Du Ziqi also killed four people. During the implementation of these four plans, emergencies will always occur, and there will be many mistakes."
Pei Xuan finally said: "So even if there is a sudden situation and there are problems during the execution of the plan, God will always solve these things and make those people deserve what they deserve."
