The stars and moon hung high in the sky, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed, casting a little light into the house.
As soon as Ji Ping'an emerged from the "invisible" state, his eyes fell on the young fortune teller who was sitting cross-legged and meditating on the bed.
During the day, in front of the White Tiger Hall, he noticed many familiar characteristics from the other party, and immediately used the "Star Officer" technique to try to divine him.
As expected, the divination failed.
He had already made some guesses about his identity. The reason why he came tonight was, firstly, to try to get some information from the other party, and secondly, to try to verify his identity.
And when you see the familiar "unfathomable" signature smile on the other person's face, the feeling of familiarity becomes even stronger:
"I am coming."
on the bed.
Buyi was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to establish a "personality" of a superior person so that he could take the initiative in the conversation.
But the other party's response was so natural that he was at a loss for what to do.
"Your Excellency came earlier than I expected."
Buyi looked silent for two seconds, maintained his smile, and forced the topic to continue.
At the same time, he also looked at this strange visitor carefully:
Wearing a hat and robe, gray mist condensed on his face, obscuring his true appearance, and he did not carry any obvious weapons.
Ji Ping'an, who was well disguised, showed a surprised look and said in a distorted voice:
"Did you guess I would come?"
Huh... Sensing that the other party had entered a familiar rhythm, Bu Yi exhaled silently and said with a smile:
"When it's daytime in front of the hall, I count it until tonight."
Later generations only know that the "Buyi Shenxiang" was an expert in the world in the past. There are many legends that he briefly assisted the first generation of God Emperor and had a good relationship with the Imperial Master of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, he got tired of fighting and waved his sleeves and forgot about him in the world.
Is a legendary figure.
People tend to attach many auras to "legends", but only "participants" like Ji Ping'an know that Buyi's appearance and temperament are out of control, and he likes to deceive people the most, which is a typical charlatan style.
Ji Ping'an was "surprised" and said:
"How do you figure that out?"
Buyi Shenxiang smiled and pointed at his face:
"People's destiny is reflected in the external situation. Your Excellency, Piru, is now surrounded by dark clouds and is in a catastrophe."
Ji Ping'an looked suspicious:
"Since you have such abilities, why are you being detained here?"
The cloth-clad figure sighed, half-smiling but not smiling, showing off his noble demeanor:
"Fate is unpredictable. How do you know that I am willing to be imprisoned? Is this a way to avoid another catastrophe?"
What I hate the most is charlatans, who talk in roundabout ways and use their wits... Ji Ping'an was speechless, pretending to be thoughtful:
"You mean, you were caught on purpose?"
Buyi's expression is serious and unpredictable:
"Your Excellency is in a whirlpool now. Instead of caring about others, you should worry more about yourself. Although I can't see your face, the appearance is not in your eyebrows. I see the dark clouds gathering above your head. If you don't prepare early, I'm afraid of a disaster. It’s coming!”
When he said these words, his expression was extremely solemn, and his tone was sincere and contagious.
I was secretly proud:
This trick first shows off one's superiority, then plays tricks on the opponent, and then points out the opponent's crisis and hints that only one can break it. It can be said that it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
According to the results of the "face reading" just now, although he is currently under house arrest, his life is not in danger.
The so-called "gold in black" means that the fate of the person who comes to see him tonight will be beneficial to him.
Therefore, Bu Yi Shen Xiang planned to use tricks to scare the person in front of him first, and then give some pointers to form a good relationship. This is also the basis for the "Physiologist" to travel in the world.
As for which force the other party is, it doesn't matter.
After some beatings, he realized that the other party had fallen into the trap.
You can even imagine a bright future in which the person in front of you is doubtful and asks for your guidance, and then when it comes true, he will shed tears of gratitude and thank you endlessly.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, his eyes showing anticipation.
However, the expected script did not happen. In the room, Ji Pingan just said with a faint smile:
"Oh... I am in danger. How can you prove it?"
Buyi Shenxiang opened his mouth.
But Ji Ping'an interrupted and said quietly: "In other words, how are you going to continue to 'routine' me? Buyi Shenxian?"
When he said the last name in an understatement, the pupils of the young fortune teller who was sitting cross-legged and meditating suddenly shrank, and his face could no longer maintain his composure.
Commoner look!
When these four words were passed into his ears clearly and unmistakably, the face of the resurrected fortune teller froze at first, and then turned into confusion and confusion: "What did you call me?"
He seemed a little surprised, as if he had been mistaken, and his acting skills were amazing.
However, the wrinkles at the corners of Ji Ping'an's eyes gradually spread, "Jie Jie" said with a strange smile:
"Nowadays, the top intelligence agency in the world is called 'Tianji Pavilion'. I happened to meet the master of Tianji Pavilion in Yuhang before... It's a pity that today's master of Tianji Pavilion has turned away from physiognomy and turned to study Astrology has been used for divination. It’s a pity that the Buyi Xiangmen has been passed down to this day, but later generations have become fans of hexagrams and astrology... It’s a pity, it’s a pity...”
Buyi's eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he could not maintain his "superior" posture. Listening to Ji Ping'an's description, he suddenly felt like he was being NTRed...
"Seriously?!" He almost gritted his teeth.
I can't wait to rush to Yuhang immediately, find the junior who has inherited my physiognomy, and repair it.
Ji Ping'an smiled warmly:
"If you don't believe it, you can go to Yuhang to verify it someday."
Buyi Shenxiang looked at the other party's playful eyes, fell silent, and realized that he was no longer asking for trouble.
However, with his ability to travel around the world and observe people's emotions, he had already seen that the other party's tone was full of certainty, and he immediately said cautiously:
"I am not the handsome and unrestrained commoner in the legend, with extraordinary abilities and the ability to see through destiny. I don't know how you could say such incredible things."
"..." Ji Ping'an sighed in his heart, it's worthy of you.
Just like the monks of the Xiaoyao sect who were "ruined" in Xishan Academy on the outskirts of Yuhang City, Buyi's appearance and character were not the kind of cautious and cautious person who planned big things.
Otherwise, he would not have given up on the great prospects of following the first-generation God Emperor, abandoned his bright future, and waved his hand into the world.
Therefore, after his rebirth, he did not disguise his character too much.
Of course, another important factor why this is the case is that there are very few enemies in the Buyi Shenxiang sect.
He does not fight for power or gain, but pays attention to guiding others and being kind to others. In addition, the fortune teller is really not good at killing and fighting.
Otherwise, it would not have been reborn for several months, and it would have been easily captured by the Martial Arts Alliance.
Therefore, he does not have a particularly strong fear of exposing his existence.
However, facing the unidentified Ji Pingan, he still chose to deny it.
As for whether the person in front of him was an "old friend" or a member of some major forces in today's era, he could not yet determine.
After all, this person's whole body is covered, and although his physiognomy is strong, his cultivation has not recovered yet, and he still cannot see through the fog.
After confirming the identity of the person in front of him, Ji Ping'an felt much more relaxed. However, although he was an old friend, he hadn't seen each other for too many years, and he didn't trust Buyi Shenxiang enough.
At least, it's far from Xu Yuanyun's level of giving everything he has.
Therefore, he decided to continue observing, immediately put aside his playful thoughts, and said calmly:
"Whether you admit it or deny it. We don't care. I'm here tonight. I just want to ask you, what is the disaster you saw, and what do you know about the death of Tiancan Sect Master. Don't use Bai Hu I will deal with the Tang’s polygraph results, I know you have the ability to avoid it.”
"We"...Buyi Shenxiang keenly captured this word and realized that the other party really belonged to a mysterious organization.
After pondering for a moment, he said:
"I really know nothing about the death of Tiancan Sect Master. The reason why I want to leave is that I am indeed aware of the disaster. However, unlike what I said during the day, I noticed a few days ago that many people in the town Dark clouds are gathering above people's heads, and there are omens of great disaster, indicating that a disaster is about to come, and the vast majority of people may be involved in it."
The ominous omen that involves everyone... Ji Ping'an's heart moved and he was secretly vigilant.
Although, as the founder of the "Star Official" path, he also has the ability to predict the future.
But in fact, astrology, physiognomy, hexagrams, and Feng Shui... each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
For example, what astrology is good at is knowing the causes and consequences of an event based on the medium.
To put it simply, starlight radiates throughout Kyushu, and everything that happens in the world will be recorded by starlight as long as it is shrouded in light.
Whether it is a picture of the future or a picture of the past, it can be read by the "star official". This is also the underlying logic of astrology.
The art of physiognomy is completely different. The commoner's physiognomy needs to observe a person's "appearance" face to face in order to roughly predict the next misfortunes and blessings of the target. Its accuracy is much better than that of the star official method.
At the same time, "Physiognomy" will be less disturbed.
Since entering Qixia Town, Ji Ping'an has done astrology, but the results were very vague, and he was not informed of the occurrence of "disasters" in advance.
"Why is this happening? Is it because my astrology is worse than this guy's? Is there a specialization in the art? Or...ever since I entered the town, there has been some kind of high-level power that is interfering with the divination results in this area?"
Ji Ping'an's heart sank.
Buyi Shenxiang continued:
"However, according to my observation, the death of Tiancan Sect Master and the crisis I saw are not very closely related. In other words, there is a connection between the two, but it is very weak."
Ji Pingan frowned and said:
"What about the murderer? Do you have any clues? I know that you were interrogated to the White Tiger Hall today. At that time, you saw many people. With your physiognomy, you should be able to see something."
The Buyi expression hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:
"There were many people present, and I only saw part of it."
Ji Pingan's heart moved and he asked:
"Where is Ding Huan? Is he related to this case?"
…
…
Qixia Town, inside a certain mansion.
Ding Huan slowly put down the tea cup, glanced at the members of the "Xinwu" faction in the hall, and said in a deep voice:
"As of now, the murderer has not been found. What do you think of this matter?"
Seeing someone about to speak, this old man who was no longer young but still had his sleeves rolled up neatly said calmly:
"There are no outsiders here, so don't say those emotional words."
Everyone was silent for a moment, then the deputy head of Hell Gate said:
"Mr. Ding, this matter is complicated and confusing. I'm not saying it in an angry way, but Jiu Wu is indeed the most suspicious."
Today, the daughter of the owner of the Broken Blade Sect, who was slender and leopard-like, took the place of her father in attending the meeting and said:
"That's right. If we guess again, it might be the enemies of the Tiancan Sect who took the opportunity to cause trouble. It's also possible."
The deputy helmsman of the Tiandihui glanced at the deputy sect leader of the Tianzhan Sect and said:
"In the final analysis, the Tianzan sect is the one who deserves the most rigorous investigation into this matter."
The latter became furious: "What do you mean?"
The former spread his hands innocently:
"Don't get excited. I'm just saying that the murderer hasn't been caught yet, so each of our families must be on strict guard. You know, the leader of the Hell Sect, the Broken Blade Sect, and our chief helmsman are also injured."
Everyone looked dull, no need to remind them.
After the incident, the three major factions, including the old martial arts faction, and the Longhu Mountain defense force also increased significantly, all of them were worried about repeating the same mistakes.
Ding Huan waved his hand and said:
"Now the town is in turmoil and nerves are tense. The murderer should be hiding, so you don't need to be too nervous."
Everyone nodded and thought it made sense. One person said curiously:
"Mr. Ding, do you think there is anything wrong with Mr. Li?"
Ding Huan pondered for a moment and said:
"It's hard to say. Although he passed the White Tiger Hall, with this person's methods, he may be able to avoid the magic weapon. In short... we have to keep a close eye on this person. If there is evidence, we will eradicate him in one fell swoop."
All the heroes responded.
Not long after, the meeting ended and a group of people left.
When only Ding Huan was left, the celebrity pinched his eyebrows and walked back to the bedroom.
However, just as he pushed open the door, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked around cautiously. When he saw that no one was seeing him, he carefully closed the door.
He walked to the table and picked up a letter on the table with the help of starlight.
…
"Ding Huan?"
Buyi looked back for a moment, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."
It's irrelevant... Ji Ping'an was startled, not knowing whether he was happy or disappointed.
He thought for a moment and then said:
"Then the people you saw in front of the hall at that time should be irrelevant? For example... that Mr. Li?"
The commoner god nodded:
"The murderer is indeed not among them, and has no connection with the people present. As for Mr. Li, it is a bit strange."
"Oh?" Ji Ping'an asked back.
The commoner looked hesitated for a moment and said:
"I can't say, but the clouds above this person's head are as dark as ink, but they are a bit off, and they contain two strange lights. When I wanted to take a closer look, I felt uneasy for no reason. I was afraid that the people and things involved in him were too big... Oh, it’s not that I can’t see some things, it’s just that I don’t want to see them, so as not to get angry.”
His tone was quite confident. Although he was weak in fighting, his cultivation was almost entirely focused on physiognomy.
Ji Ping'an: "..."
Buyi Shenxiang glanced at this mysterious man and said hesitantly:
"Actually, in my opinion, the death of a few people is nothing. The key is to find out the source of the 'bad omen' so that we can avoid it."
Ji Ping'an shook his head and said:
"Some things cannot be avoided when they come."
Bu Yi looked stunned for a moment, thinking that he was caught and grounded, he couldn't help but smile:
"Too."
He was about to speak again, but saw that the figure in front of him was erased inch by inch, and he actually said goodbye and left.
"...are you leaving now?" Buyi Shenxiang muttered, thinking that this person had gone to such trouble to come here. Could it be that he was just here to ask about this case?
But he is not in a hurry. Since the physiognomy has shown that the two of them are destined, they will meet again sooner or later.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and simply lay down to sleep.
However, while he was half asleep and half awake, he was suddenly startled and opened his eyes suddenly. He saw a thin sword gently pressed against his throat, which was cold and biting.
"Ton..." The hair on the cloth's face stood on end, and he swallowed. His eyes followed the long sword upwards, and he saw a woman covered with a veil, but she could vaguely see a dark red skirt underneath:
"What does this heroine do for you?"
Wei Huayang's eyes were sharp:
"I'm here tonight, and I just want to ask you, what exactly is the disaster you saw, and what do you know about the death of the leader of the Tiancan Sect."
No... why do you think this sentence sounds familiar? You two's lines couldn't have been copied and pasted... Bu Yi was confused.
…
Under night.
Ji Ping'an's figure was illusory, and accompanied by Jiang Jiang, he walked through the cold streets and returned to the inn.
Along the way, I was thinking about the information I got:
"If Bu Yi didn't lie to me, then we can basically rule out internal conflicts within the Wulin Alliance. In other words, either the murderer had a personal grudge with the Tiancan Sect leader, or he was a killer from the Four Holy Sect... and the latter is more likely. "
"If this is really the case, combined with the 'bad omen' of the group he saw, it means that the Four Holy Sects have back-ups... It is definitely not as simple as killing one person and causing a fight between the old and new martial arts factions..."
"Involving the Four Saints and the many 'reborns', my astrology is too easily obscured..."
Jiang Jiang was expressionless, floating like a ghost. Miss Qi Ling was quite dissatisfied with his behavior of forcing things into her body without permission.
He is having a little temper.
But because she remained expressionless, Ji Ping'an didn't notice it at all, and Jiang Jiang became even more angry.
Suddenly, she lightly kicked Ji Pingan, who was immersed in his journey:
"look."
"What are you looking at?" Ji Ping'an came back to his senses, and under her guidance, he looked up at the sky above the center of the town.
I saw a huge, illusory bird spreading its wings and hovering over the town. There were eyeballs growing on the inside of the bird's wings, looking in different directions.
Xu Shi vaguely sensed that someone was watching, and immediately half of his eyes turned to look at the area where the two of them were standing, but they were unable to focus due to Jiang Jiang's "invisibility method".
Ji Ping'an raised his head and glanced at this strange and terrifying creature, then looked away and yawned:
"It's getting late, let's go back to bed."
Jiang Jiang hugged his shoulders and held the mountain staff like a wizard, turning his head:
Who wants to sleep with you.
…
That night, Ji Ping'an returned to the inn and fell asleep peacefully to recuperate. The whole town was enveloped in a quiet atmosphere.
It was dawn the next day.
When the morning light shone in from the window, Ji Ping'an opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, walked to the inn window in his pajamas, opened it gently, and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside, and it was a good weather again.
"The sky is clearly clear, but there are no dark clouds..."
He muttered softly and was about to turn around to wash up when he suddenly heard a sharp and rapid horn sound coming from the town, waking up people all over the town.
"Woo——"
The voice was low, full of penetration, and had an unsettling undertone.
Ji Ping'an stopped, squinted his eyes and waited patiently. After a while, people from the world ran along the street and shouted in panic:
"Xu Ming, Mr. Xu is dead!"
Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering that the other party was a prestigious old man from the old martial arts sect who spoke out for justice yesterday.
"The prophet's search failed. Last night, the werewolf jumped again..."
