"So are there really dragons in this world?"
"Who else besides the Dragon Prince can turn clouds and rain with one hand? Our country's ships were not in trouble, but the Shenzhao Kingdom's entire army was annihilated. Isn't that enough to explain everything?"
"Dragon is a legendary creature that does not exist in the world at all. We still have to talk about science. I think it may be made of deep sea monsters, such as super-large squid and octopus."
"I don't agree with this view because not everything can be explained by science."
"I don't know if you still remember the dragon encounter incident in the suburbs of Beijing some time ago. Now it has also appeared in the coastal areas. Dragons are appearing more and more these years."
Originally, the incident of encountering a dragon in the suburbs of Beijing had faded out of the public eye, but this time it was brought up again. Perhaps the only similarity between the two incidents was that they both heard the strange cry.
There are different opinions on the Internet, and this incident has become a hot topic and is famous far and wide.
Unfortunately, the incident occurred suddenly and no one was able to record the complete scene with a mobile phone. In addition, the waterspout dissipated in the middle of the sea and did not successfully land in the end, so there is very little image data left.
However, this does not affect everyone's interest in these anecdotes. After all, so many people have witnessed the existence of waves and waterspouts.
In addition, it has some connection with the capsizing of the Shenzhao Kingdom's ship, so many people believe it.
Some people even traveled thousands of miles to Penglai to see the true face of the legendary Dragon King. They even took aerial photography nearby to capture useful pictures and information.
But since the waterspout series of events, the sea has been calm and there is nothing abnormal. There has never been any so-called manifestation of the Dragon King.
Because this matter was so popular, even Qi Xueqing noticed it.
Compared to the legend of the Dragon King, he was more interested in "Penglai".
Penglai has been very famous since ancient times. Not only is it known as the Fairy Mountain, Qin Shihuang also sent people to visit the East China Sea, leaving many legends, the most famous of which is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
Qi Xueqing didn't know whether there were dragons in the sea. These matters could only be left to the relevant personnel to investigate, and they were not accessible to ordinary people, but he knew that some things about Penglai were true.
It happened that there was still time for this study, so he did not go back after leaving Taishan, but took the time to come to Penglai.
All the way along the coastline, the sea water is extremely bright and blue, and the occasional breeze only blows thousands of small sparkling wrinkles.
The sea is famous for its vastness. Its attitude and mind have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Between the ebb and flow of the tide, it hits the silent rocks.
There are many people along the road. Judging from their accents, they come from all over the world. They must be tourists who came here to find out the news after seeing the news on the Internet.
Qi Xueqing met an old fisherman who was collecting his nets. His skin was tanned to a bronze color, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of traces of time.
"I want to ask you something--"
He just stood up and before he finished speaking, the old fisherman looked at him with an old-fashioned look on his face, "Are you also attracted by the recent incident with the Dragon Prince?"
Come to think of it, the old fisherman has heard a lot of similar words recently, otherwise he would not blurt out such words.
Qi Xueqing touched his nose and said, "That's not true. I think you are a local and have lived here for many years. Can you tell me about the local legends?"
Hearing this, the old fisherman suddenly became interested. Most of the people's inquiries these days were related to the Dragon King. Qi Xueqing was the first one like him. He could be said to be a clear stream.
"You are a bit special as a young man, but you really asked the right person. I grew up by the sea, and my ancestors made a living by fishing."
The old fisherman paused, and Qi Xueqing was also very polite. He handed over a cigarette and said, "Old man, please tell me."
Seeing that he was so interested, the old fisherman did not hide it, and it was not a secret.
Amidst the curls of cigarettes, the wrinkles on the old fisherman's face relaxed a little. He took a few puffs and continued: "You should have heard the legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea."
Qi Xueqing nodded, "That's for sure."
Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea has been adapted into a TV series and has become almost a household name, and everyone knows about it.
"I also heard from adults when I was a child that the Eight Immortals were just ordinary mortals at that time. The reason why they were able to successfully cross the sea was because of the help of other people. However, the rumors spread in later generations and became magical for some reason."
"But, under the circumstances and conditions at that time, those who could help them cross the sea must be very capable."
Qi Xueqing listened very seriously, "If the Eight Immortals are just mortals, then could it be that the one who can help them cross the sea is an immortal?"
The old fisherman smiled and shook his head, "Whether they are immortals or humans, it's been so long. Who can say for sure? It's just a folk legend. But I heard from my grandfather that our ancestors also saw those eight people." !”
He left a string of hearty laughter, dragged the fishing net, and disappeared from Qi Xueqing's sight. The sunset on the beach stretched his shadow very long, making him look particularly free and comfortable.
Qi Xueqing thought about it for a long time, because he was very interested in what the old fisherman said. Later, he checked many historical materials and records about the Eight Immortals, and finally got a clear result.
The Eight Immortals recorded in history may really be just eight ordinary people. Although some of them left masterpieces that will be passed down to future generations, such as Lu Dongbin, they are not as mysterious as immortals.
They didn't have any special abilities, but they did successfully cross the sea. This was an incredible thing at the time.
I don’t know what method they used, but it was passed down from time to time, and it evolved into the story of later generations - the eight immortals crossing the sea, each with their own magical powers.
Qi Xueqing's Historical Mist series has been updated again. This time it is about the legend of the Eight Immortals, which happened to also happen in Penglai. Coupled with the impact of the Dragon King incident, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Blogger, this is a dream connection. The last historical mist series was the mystery of the immortal immortality of Mount Tai, Qin Shihuang. This time the location is the legend of the Eight Immortals in Penglai. Qin Shihuang also sent people to search for Penglai."
"But times are different, so there should be no connection between the two."
"It has been said recently that there is a Dragon King in Penglai. Is this true?"
"It's fake. There's no such thing as a Dragon King. Didn't some experts come out to refute the rumors?"
"Can you believe what those experts say?"
"The blogger will update the historical fog series in other regions next time. The two consecutive ones happened in the Eastern Province. I want to read some other related ones."
This historical mystery topic about the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea does not have as many clicks as Qin Shihuang. After all, everyone is paying attention to the "Dragon King Incident" recently, so it is normal that the popularity here has decreased.
But Qi Xueqing did this topic not for traffic and popularity, but to restore the truth of history and clear away the fog, so he didn't care about it.
As the sun sets in the west, on the vast sea, the setting sun rises and falls and the light blue sea water is smeared with orange color. It is as beautiful as an oil painting, with colorful clouds floating in it, blurring the boundaries between the sea water and the sky.
Dark shadows slowly swam across the dark green light, and the originally silent picture immediately became alive.
Ye Qin swam endlessly in the sea. White waves swam by him, like big white fish, walking alongside him. The water element transformed into countless elves, surrounding him intimately.
After overturning the ships of Shenzhao Kingdom, Ye Qin came to the depths of the ocean, where the water aura was as abundant as he expected.
The sea is endless as far as the eye can see. If Ye Qin wanted to, he could always soak here, but he soon discovered that the speed of absorbing the aura of water was getting slower and slower.
This means that his body's absorption of spiritual energy has reached saturation.
"There's no need to continue absorbing it. It's time to consider landing."
There are few opportunities in the deep sea, and the aura of the water is already full. It will not be good for Ye Qin to continue soaking.
Ye Qin looked at the vast sea area in front of him. The sea and the sky were connected, and there was a faint tendency to connect them together. As he turned into a dragon, his soul was completely replenished, and he could feel that the relationship between himself and the heaven and earth became closer and closer.
While he was absorbing spiritual energy, heaven and earth were also transmitting messages to him.
In some legends, immortals and capable people have spells that can be calculated at a glance.
The ancients often said, "The universe is vast in the sleeves, and the sun and the moon are long in the gourd." This refers to the calculation skills of the ancients.
In the old robes, the cuffs were very large and there was a sleeve collar. When counting, the left hand was in the sleeve hole and could not be seen by others.
Because there are two hexagrams in the Bagua position on the palm, Qian and Kun. The largest Qian represents the sky, and the thickest Kun represents the earth. Heaven and earth are the largest in the world. Gods and Taoists calculate the Qiankun Bagua on the palms of their hands.
As long as you master the calculation skills on the palm of your hand, you can know the rise and fall of all natural things in the universe.
Ye Qin has reached his current state and has also realized similar calculation skills. To be precise, the words deduction and divination are more appropriate.
"Xinyu·Mingjie" once recorded: "Observe the transformation of the sky and deduce everything."
Being able to perceive the changes in the world and deduce the direction of subsequent events based on the surrounding things is universal whether it is applied to people or other things.
"The Book of Changes. Collection of Ci" says: "The Book of Changes has four principles of the sage: those who use words should value their words, those who use movement should focus on their transformations, those who use tools should focus on their images, and those who use divination should focus on their divination."
The art of divination has a long origin, even earlier than the "Book of Changes".
"The number of Dayan is fifty, and the use of forty is nine; divided into two, it is like two, hanging one is like three, it is four, it is like four o'clock, it is strange to be in 仂, it is like leap, five The year is leap again, so it will be old again and then it will be dead."
Divination is very troublesome for ordinary people, and the hexagrams can be wrong, but Ye Qin has no such worries
Because his cultivation and state can already form a weak connection with heaven and earth, he can save these complicated procedures.
Just like a doctor doesn't heal himself, so Ye Qin can't tell fortunes for himself. He can't make fortunes either, so he can only tell fortunes for others.
"Maybe this time is an opportunity for me."
Ye Qin has been practicing outside for so long, looking for fragments of time. He doesn't have much direct contact with human beings. He can just use this fortune telling to experience the mortal world.
After experiencing the Guardian, he has always been interested in how the "Businesses" were formed in detail, but he did not have the time and opportunity. Maybe this time he can find a temple or Taoist temple and use it as a medium to observe the "Businesses" up close. form.
"That's good, maybe it will help with the future of eternal life."
Ye Qin is a man of action. After confirming his thoughts and ideas, he quickly takes action.
Several beams of green light were released from his body, and sparkling green light appeared on the sea. The huge shadow seemed to be dissolved by the water, and quickly disappeared into the deep sea. No one could notice the change in the sea water. After all, it was still far from the shore. A little distance.
The calm ocean is reflected under the blue sky and white clouds, like a huge gem. It seems that nothing has happened, but the huge shadow is missing.
…
Due to a series of mysterious events that have recently occurred along the coast, related temples nearby have become popular. Locals and many tourists come here to worship.
The most popular one should be the Dragon King Temple in the north.
Immortals in the mountains are famous, and dragons in the water are spiritual. The Dragon King Temple in the north was originally the same as the temples in other places. The incense was not strong, and it was just ordinary.
But recently, a new temple has come to visit. It is said that fortune telling is very effective. There is no charge for fortune telling, but it only receives three people a day, so it can only tell three fortunes.
Every time when a fortune-telling is given to someone, there will be a green curtain in front of the person. The person who comes to ask for fortune-telling sits in front and cannot see clearly the person behind the curtain. He can only hear his voice but not see his person.
It is said that no one has seen his true face until now, it is really mysterious to the extreme.
Things are rare and valuable, and coupled with such a mysterious style, his reputation soon spread to the outside world. The most important thing is that his fortune-telling is extremely accurate and he never fails. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who want to ask for his fortune-telling. Absolutely.
Even though he only does three hexagrams every day, countless people come to line up.
The candidates for fortune telling in the temple are randomly selected, such as the number of people in the team, so everyone has the same chance, and everyone has a possibility.
After most of the people paid homage to the Dragon King, they lined up here. The queue would not disperse until all three people were counted.
Li Hongwen, who was in the team, lowered his head and looked at the time. He was leaving at two o'clock in the afternoon. However, his friend insisted on joining in the fun, so he had no choice but to join the team and wait together.
"Professor Zhang gave me three days of leave. Now is the last day. I have to stay for a while and have to drive back."
This person is the assistant next to Professor Zhang at the research center. During this holiday, I made an appointment with my friends to go out to the province to play, and this trip was made. .
"Don't worry, I won't delay your business. I heard it's very effective here. We're all here, just to join in the fun."
His friend looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you believe this before? You also told me about Qiguang Temple and Master Zhidun. Those who didn't know better thought you were a fanatical believer of Master Zhidun."
Li Hongwen was a little helpless, "One thing is the same thing, how can they be compared?"
The reason why he believed in Qiguang Temple and Master Zhidun was because he had witnessed and experienced those incredible things with his own eyes.
Regarding fortune-telling, he has always felt that it was a mysterious existence.
A few specious words from a fortune teller can easily affect people's senses and judgments.
Moreover, some information is very likely to be leaked unconsciously during the chat. The fortune teller will make guesses and add psychological hints, which will give people a very effective feeling.
But the incident at Qiguang Temple was different. Whether it was an escape or a sudden disappearance of the ancient sword, which has no traces until now, it was completely beyond the reach of human means.
Li Hongwen guessed: "Only three hexagrams are calculated in a day. I must be afraid that the secret will be exposed if I do too many calculations. Moreover, the people who are chosen to do the fortune-telling may be chosen by people who are entrusted. The people inside and outside are colluding together."
The uncle in line behind him shook his head after hearing this, "Young man, please don't talk nonsense. This master's calculations are extremely accurate and he has real abilities."
"Then if that's the case, why don't we count a few more people and only count three every day? Aren't we afraid that too many people will make mistakes?"
Li Hongwen's words rendered the uncle behind him speechless.
For people who don't believe it, no matter how much you say, it's useless. The uncle was a little speechless, "Since you don't believe it, then why are you here."
Li Hongwen said with a smile: "I came with a friend."
Although he believes that there may be some mysterious power in the world, he does not blindly believe in everything, otherwise this power would be useless.
While the two parties were talking, the previous fortune teller walked out of the room, with a pious face on his face, and said to the team: "Master, please let the person in line 32 in."
After the person in front has finished counting, the master will tell him the order position of the person behind him, and the person in front will relay it on his behalf.
Some people in the team showed disappointment, while others were envious and wanted to see who was so lucky.
The uncle in line behind Li Hongwen suddenly slapped his head, "It was almost my turn, but it turned out to be you."
After saying this, his face was full of annoyance, as if giving this spot to Li Hongwen was a waste of money.
Li Hongwen is the lucky number 32.
The rule here is that the quota cannot be transferred. If it is not calculated, it will be invalid. Li Hongwen does not want to go and cannot resist the persuasion of his friends.
"Just go ahead, I've got you anyway, and besides, this fortune-telling doesn't cost any money."
Li Hongwen thought about it and felt that it was right. He wanted to see who this person was and whether he was the kind of person who cheated and deceived him.
The moment you push the door open, a faint scent of sandalwood hits your face. The bronze incense burner next to you is filled with fine sandalwood. The furnishings of the entire room are extremely simple and can be seen at a glance.
There was a thick curtain in the middle, blocking Li Hongwen's sight. There was a futon and a small table in front of him. There was a candle, a tortoise shell, and a few copper coins on the table.
Sitting on the futon, Li Hongwen could feel the majestic gaze sweeping over his head. His heart tightened and he subconsciously sat upright.
"What do you want to count?"
The voice behind the curtain was low and ethereal, as if coming from the sky.
Li Hongwen originally wanted to crack down on counterfeiting, but for some reason, he became a little nervous at this time, and even beads of sweat appeared on his palms. He composed himself and said: "Anything can be counted."
"Pick up the tortoise shell and burn it on top of the candle for one minute."
Li Hongwen did as he was told, and the room became extremely quiet. The candle flames danced, and the only sound that could be heard was the crackling of tortoise shells on it.
Under the baking of candles, the lines of the tortoise shell gradually appeared with traces of different shades.
Then Li Hongwen put the copper coins into the tortoise shell, threw it a few times in the air, and handed it behind the curtain.
During the entire process, Li Hongwen could feel eyes watching his every move.
The cyan curtain was so thick that even the slightest outline could not be seen. He had no idea what the height and appearance of the person behind the curtain were.
But there was an illusion that the person behind the curtain could clearly see his appearance.
White smoke curled into Li Hongwen's sight as the candle flames swayed. His originally impetuous heart became calm at this moment.
I don’t know how long it took, but the voice finally spoke again, “The ridge is water, it’s a ditch, it’s a concealment, it’s a bow wheel, it’s for people, it’s for worry, it’s for heart disease, it’s for earache, it’s the blood hexagram. .”
Li Hongwen was confused, "What does this mean?"
"It means you will suffer a bloody disaster."
Li Hongwen frowned, feeling slightly uncomfortable after hearing this.
This is almost what fortune tellers on the roadside often say. The next second they will ask you to buy some talismans, or ask you to pay for incense, and then help you solve the problem.
The inexplicable awe that originally appeared in his heart disappeared at this moment. He knew that any good fortune-telling was actually just a trick, and the final purpose was just to make money.
The real miracle should be like the one in Qiguang Temple. It is usually not obvious, but at critical moments it punishes the bad guys.
Thinking of what happened to Qiguang Temple, he still vividly remembered it. Li Hongwen sighed. He knew that he should not have any illusions in his heart. Not all temples and Taoist temples were like Qiguang Temple.
If you want to come to Dragon King Temple, most of them will be praised by tourists.
Li Hongwen said casually: "Is there any way to resolve it?"
He made up his mind that no matter what the other party asked him to buy, he would never buy it.
"The solution is simple. If you take the train at two o'clock in the afternoon, just change it to the one at four o'clock."
The other party's inadvertent words caused waves in Li Hongwen's heart, and his calm face lost its composure for a moment.
How did he know that he was on the train at two o'clock in the afternoon!
Li Hongwen stared hard at the blue curtain, as if his eyes were burning a hole.
After carefully reviewing the conversation just now, I was sure that I did not reveal any relevant information.
It’s impossible for the other party to predict the situation beforehand. How could he know his train number? Could it be that he heard it?
Li Hongwen had mentioned it before when he was chatting with his friends outside, but it was just that there were so many people lining up and it was so noisy that he couldn't hear it inside.
Unless someone cooperated with him inside and outside, and after learning the news, he deliberately chose Li Hongwen to come in to do the fortune telling, creating a feeling that the fortune telling was effective.
But what’s the purpose of going to all this trouble?
He is not a local and will leave soon. Whether he believes it or not will not have any impact at all.
For a time, Li Hongwen had many doubts in his mind.
Unexpectedly, after saying this, the other party didn't say anything else.
"You can leave and let the 56 people come in."
He was not allowed to buy any talismans or scriptures?
This was a little different from what he expected. Li Hongwen couldn't help but said: "Is it gone?"
The other party's voice was calm, but mixed with a domineering tone that could not be ignored, "You can leave."
A coldness hit him head-on. Such aura only appeared for a moment, and it made people feel a sense of awe and worship.
He had only felt this way when he was at Qiguang Temple.
Li Hongwen stood up quickly, fearing that he might offend someone. When he came to his senses, he was already standing at the door, still in a daze.
Upon seeing this, my friend quickly stepped forward and said, "What did the master say to you?"
Li Hongwen recalled what happened in the room, hesitated for a moment and said: "They said that I would be in a bloody disaster soon, and also asked me to refund the two o'clock ticket and buy the four o'clock flight back."
The friend looked surprised, "Did you tell the master?"
Li Hongwen shook his head, "I didn't say anything."
The friend's face was full of excitement, "I knew this master was really effective. He could even calculate the time for you to go back."
Li Hongwen was dubious, "What if it's a coincidence?"
Hearing this, my friend couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "How can there be such a coincidence? Even if we talked about it before, it is impossible for the master to hear it from such a long distance."
After speaking, he glanced at Li Hongwen worriedly and said, "Master said that you have suffered a bloody disaster. I would rather believe it than not. Otherwise, you should change your signature."
Li Hongwen hesitated, "But the four o'clock trip is too late."
"Time is more important or your life is more important. Listen to the master and you are right."
Unable to convince his friend, Li Hongwen finally changed his flight, but because he bought it too late, the four o'clock one had no tickets, so he could only buy the six o'clock one.
With such a delay, he wasted 4 hours longer than he originally expected.
"If I had known this, I might as well have taken the two o'clock train. Maybe I'd be home by now."
Inside the station, Li Hongwen complained to his friends.
The staff member looked at the ticket in his hand, but showed a strange expression, and couldn't help but said: "Young man, it's a good thing you didn't buy two o'clock, otherwise I might not be able to go home this time."
Li Hongwen asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
"The bus at two o'clock had a rear-end accident on the highway. Everyone on the bus was injured and sent to the hospital. I heard that some serious injuries have not yet been rescued."
The staff was so sad that they didn't notice that the faces of the two people next to them were getting increasingly ugly.
"This is the first time such a serious accident has happened. The highway was blocked and the road gradually returned to normal around five o'clock. Your car at six o'clock is just in time, otherwise you would still be stuck on the road."
Li Hongwen and his friends looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.
My friend was dumbfounded, "The master actually got it right!"
Li Hongwen's face turned pale. If he hadn't changed his ticket, he might have been in the hospital right now. What's worse, he might have died from his injuries!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
so close!
It can be said that because of the master's words, he completely saved his life.
"It seems that master is really effective!"
His friend's vacation was one day longer than that of Li Hongwen. He immediately took out his mobile phone to change his ticket, "I have decided to go to the master's place tomorrow, just in case I am lucky enough to be chosen."
Li Hongwen also wanted to do this, and even wanted to thank the master in person, but his vacation did not allow it.
On the way back, he couldn't calm down for a long time. What happened this time could no longer be described as a coincidence.
Thinking of that mysterious and majestic voice, Li Hongwen felt a bit of unspeakable fear and respect in his heart.
Maybe there are still many unknown powers in this world. In addition to Zhidun and the magical ancient bronze sword, there is another one in his heart about the Dragon King Temple. (End of chapter)
