Years of business wars have given Su Shi a keen intuition about invisible dangers. He can already smell danger even before he is actually threatened.
It was this keen intuition that allowed him to save the day from danger many times.
This feeling hadn't appeared for a long time, and Su Shi didn't expect that this feeling would surge up in his heart when he was most relaxed.
He took off the wet towel on his face, took a long breath, and let out the turbid air held in his chest.
Then his mind started racing again, but even if he tried hard, he couldn't figure out why he suddenly felt this way.
In desperation, Su Shi had to give up, because now he had more important things to consider, and that was Pei Xuan.
The initiator of all this was Pei Xun. Although he was dead, he still left too many secrets and troubles for Su Shi.
Who is he? Is his situation similar to that of the prince, or is it the same as mine?
Su Shi's pupils suddenly shrank because he remembered Pei Xuan's words.
"If I predict someone's fortune or misfortune through divination, there will be no mistakes. In the past two years, I have made a total of 146 divination predictions, and I have never made any mistakes."
Su Shi still remembered that Pei Xuan was promoted to the red-robed Taoist priest at Ciyun Temple because he never made mistakes in fortune-telling.
And the reason why Zhou Yi and Zhou Xuan trust him so much is precisely because of this.
But it was this point that puzzled Su Shi.
Twenty-three years ago, Pei Xun entered Ciyun Temple. At that time, Ciyun Temple was at its peak, and there were no less than a hundred Taoists in the temple.
Since his purpose of entering Ciyun Temple is Zhou Yi and his son, he will definitely find ways to rise to a high position so that he can get in touch with those dignitaries.
Apparently, Pei Xun became a red-robed Taoist priest using accurate hexagrams, thus gaining the opportunity to contact Zhou Yi and his son.
But there is a problem here, why is Pei Xuan's hexagram so effective?
Naturally, Su Shi could also think of four or five ways to pretend to be a ghost, such as buying off the people who came to ask for divination, or those people were actually his people, or even using his own power to cause some magical phenomena...
However, Su Shi did not think that Pei Xuan would use these methods, because these methods would involve collusion with others, and many people would be involved, so there would inevitably be great risks.
With Pei Xuan's cautiousness, he would not do anything that he was not sure about, nor would he adopt methods that were too risky.
So how did he do the hexagram a hundred and forty-six times without making any mistakes?
If the people who asked Pei Xunqi to divine were all people who left their names in history, Su Shi could still figure out the reason, but Su Shi believed that among the 146 people he divined, he could leave their names in the history books. There will be no more than one hand.
Suddenly Su Shi sat up suddenly. Due to the loud movement, the water in the barrel splashed everywhere and wet the floor. But he just stared ahead blankly, mumbling something.
"There must be Pei Xuan's secret hidden in it. I believe that as long as we find out the reason why his hexagram is accurate, we can also know his secret."
Although more than 20 years have passed, in this era, the flow of people is not frequent, and some people have never traveled far in their lives, so Su Shi believes that it is not difficult to find the people who Pei Xun has made predictions for. .
Now that he had found a way to solve the problem, Su Shi slowly lay down again and leaned against the barrel.
Now he began to think about the second question.
Is Pei Xuan doing all this for revenge or to comply with God's will? Or is it taking revenge under the guise of God’s will?
Acting under the guise of God's will, this strategy was used very smoothly by the ancients. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, they wrote "King Chen Sheng" on silk with cinnabar, and then stuffed it into the belly of the fish. When the soldiers bought the fish for cooking, they cut the fish open and found the silk writing. These strange things naturally confirmed that Chen Sheng was appointed to heaven.
Naturally, Pei Xuan could do the same thing. With his cleverness and familiarity with this historical fact, it can be said that it is effortless to act under the guise of God's will.
And the catastrophe mentioned by the prince refers to Pei Xun's plan to cause trouble in Daqian, or does it refer to Zhou Yi's death?
In Su Shi's opinion, it was most likely that Pei Xun would plot to murder Zhou Yi, and then use the throne to draw the two princes into a fight to achieve his ulterior motives.
Thinking of Zhou Yi, Su Shi felt a headache again.
Since he was in good health and Pei Xun accurately predicted Zhou Yi's death date, Pei Xun must have made a very sophisticated plan to make Zhou Yi have to die on that day, just like the prince.
What is Pei Hyun's plan? Do you have the ability to crack his plan?
Thinking that Pei Xuan had spent more than twenty years planning this plan, Su Shi had to press his temples hard with the index fingers of both hands.
After finally letting his head feel lighter, Su Shi found that his chest felt like it was being pressed by a big stone, and he actually felt like he was having heart palpitations.
He hurriedly sat up, and then took a deep breath. When the palpitations slowly disappeared, Su Cai couldn't help but said to himself: "It seems that the amount of exercise in the past few days has been too much. Let's take a day off tomorrow. If I really died suddenly while exercising here, and that would make people laugh to death."
After Lin Mo packed everything up, Su Shi lay quietly on the bed. At this time, I felt very calm, and there were no more random thoughts in my mind.
Soon sleepiness came over and Su Shi slowly closed his eyes.
When Su Shi woke up early the next morning, he didn't get out of bed immediately and kept looking at the top of the bed.
At this time, his mood was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or joy, because he had a good sleep last night, and he had never had even the most ordinary dream, let alone entering that magical dreamland.
But he quickly collected himself, got up, went to the door and opened it.
Even though he was under house arrest, Lin Mo still showed up at the door on time, but he couldn't help but be startled when he saw that the young master was still wearing pajamas.
"Master, why don't you change your clothes before exercising?"
Su Shi smiled: "I am a principled person. Since I said I won't exercise today, I will never exercise."
Lin Mo couldn't help scratching his head. He couldn't remember when the young master said he wouldn't exercise today.
Su Shi didn't bother to explain to him and whispered, "Go find a set of clothes belonging to a servant."
Lin Mo was even more confused: "Why does the young master need the servant's clothes?"
"Of course I'll be useful." Su Shi thought for a moment and then said, "Today you stay in front of the study. If anyone comes to see me, just tell me that I want to read the books of sages, sir, and don't allow anyone to disturb me. And today I'm fasting, and I'm not allowed to disturb you." Don’t bring me food.”
Lin Mo looked at him in surprise: "Why do you want to do this?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "Of course I don't want others to know that I have left the General's Mansion."
"Young Master wants to leave the General's Mansion?" Lin Mo looked puzzled: "Young Master is not under house arrest by the emperor's decree, how can you leave the mansion?"
Su Shi sighed: "Even His Majesty has come to the General's Mansion in person. With my sharp tongue, how can I not persuade him? But I can't make a big show of it, so I can only dress up as a servant."
Lin Mo stared blankly: "Young master really wants to leave the house?"
Su Shi stretched his body and said, "I've been stuck in the house for a few days. If I don't go out to do some activities, I'm afraid I'm going to get rusty."
Then he looked at Lin Mo seriously and said slowly: "Only you can know about my leaving the house and cannot be leaked."
