Xie Anshi boiled water, made tea, and respectfully gave it to Professor Xu, who was drawing at the side.
He now admires this teacher deeply.
Just ten days ago, they followed Huang Jianyuan to the Cangyu Mountains to deal with the dragon that escaped from trouble. In the end, they discovered that the thing hidden in the dark cloud was actually just a claw.
And with the help of the Fire Sun and other strange objects, so many of them could only barely compete with the claw. In the end, they tried their best and could only barely repel the claw.
Soon after, they received news from Hyacinth, saying that unusually strong fluctuations in secret power had been detected in Wuya County, Shizhou.
Huang Jianyuan immediately led the people to rush there non-stop. However, because there were too many monsters in that place, and Si Tianjian and others had just experienced a big battle, they were exhausted and exhausted. Even the weapons used to restore the secret power were exhausted. All the golden-scaled secret carps were also used up, and they could only stop five miles away.
However, they later determined through other means that the two parties fighting in the center of the battlefield were Lu Jing and the dragon.
However, Si Tianjian could only provide limited help to Lu Jing. He only made some arrangements nearby to prevent the escaped claw from joining its body. After that, everyone could only wait for news and wait. This battle has decided the winner.
If nothing unexpected happens, the victory or defeat will also determine the survival of the world.
In the following days, even Huang Jianyuan, who usually kept a straight face and showed no expression, became obviously nervous. He climbed up and looked far away every day, looking towards the direction of Wuya County.
Not to mention the others, only Professor Xu, who stayed behind with Si Tianjian, acted very calmly.
Not only should the old man eat and sleep every day, but at this critical time, he actually developed a new hobby for himself and started to draw.
Xie Anshi has seen those paintings, and the paintings are, uh,... somewhat difficult to describe, but it can be seen that the mentality of the person who painted them is indeed very peaceful.
No matter flowers, birds, fish or insects, they all look leisurely and contented.
Not to mention anything else, no one can match Si Tianjian in terms of this Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. Even Xie Anshi, who was beside him, felt that he was no longer so irritable.
But now that shocking battle is over.
Lu Jing finally lived up to expectations and won the battle, and Xie Anshi was finally able to ask the questions buried in his heart.
"Teacher...did you figure out something early in the morning?"
Professor Xu put down the brush in his hand, took the tea, took a sip first, and then said calmly, "Didn't I talk about it in class? Whether it's stargazing or divination...the calculated results are all It can only be regarded as an omen. Things like fate are not static and can be affected by many things.
"The results you see can be used as a reference, but if you believe it without any doubt, you will be troubled by it." At this point, Professor Xu couldn't help but sigh again.
"This principle sounds simple, but it is not easy to do it. Especially the more deeply a person studies celestial divination, the more convinced he will be of what he sees."
"So if you see a result you don't want to see, you should actively find ways to change it, right?" Xie Anshi said thoughtfully.
But he didn't expect Professor Xu to shake his head, "No, after seeing your destiny, the more you want to change, the more likely you will end up falling deeper and deeper. Your senior brother is the best example. He wants to rely on himself to dominate the world. Wushuang's strategic plan changed fate against the will of heaven, but in the end not only destroyed Si Tianjian, but also lost his life."
Xie Anshi was stunned, "Teacher, should I actively change my destiny or just accept it?"
"Just let nature take its course." Professor Xu stroked his beard and said, "When faced with a choice, don't worry about the stars and hexagrams, just act according to your own heart. For example, if you calculate that you will be beaten by a woman in blue, Killed, then when you go out and see someone drowning in the river, it happens to be a woman in green clothes, do you want to save her or not?"
"This..." The little Taoist priest hesitated, but after thinking about it he said, "I will save him."
"Why?"
"If she wasn't the woman in green who killed me, then I would have watched an innocent person die in front of me."
"What if she is the one who killed you?" Professor Xu asked with interest.
"If I don't save her, she will probably find a way to kill me later." Xie Anshi had already figured it out and sighed, "Is this destiny? Teacher."
"Your understanding of fate has improved." Professor Xu said happily, but then he changed the topic again, "However, I did meet Lu Jing, and more than once."
"Meet?" Xie Anshi was stunned, "When?"
"When you came to listen to my lectures, I gave you a fortune teller. After that, we went to Bailongbo together, and I did a fortune teller again. What's interesting is that the results were very different these two times."
"Will your appearance... also change a lot?"
"Normally, there shouldn't be." Professor Xu took another sip of tea, "So I speculate that he may have something on his body that can change his destiny."
"Is that so?" Xie Anshi's eyes widened, "Teacher, did you see anything from his face when he was in Bailongbo?"
"When a dragon turns into a tiger, a person emerges from a desperate situation."
Professor Xu softly uttered these eight words, "This is his destiny now."
After a pause, he added, "This destiny is quite interesting. It has no effect at ordinary times. However, once it comes to a critical moment, it is often possible to miraculously find a way out and escape. Well... this destiny In fact, it’s most suitable for doing bad things. With its protection, it’s usually not easy to die.”
"It sounds very much like the things on those demons who are avoiding the pursuit of Zhengdao and the Imperial City Division." Xie Anshi couldn't help complaining, "I see, teacher, you concluded that Senior Brother Lu will not die based on his appearance... "
"No, no, no, you forgot what I just said so quickly. Things like fate are constantly changing and are affected by various factors. The reason why I am not anxious is just because I know that it is useless to be anxious. Anyway, the worst thing is that everyone dies together.
"I have lived for such a long time. I have tasted passionate emotions and delicious delicacies. When I was young, I carried a sword thousands of miles away. I also looked up at the bright stars above my head and drew my sword in anger for a beauty. I don't have many regrets in this life. No matter how you calculate it, you make more money than young people like you." Professor Xu said leisurely.
"…………"
"But it's good to be alive." Professor Xu happily drank the remaining tea in the bowl and looked at a blooming lotus in the pond.
"The disciples will... work hard to learn from your open-mindedness, teacher." Xie Anshi bowed again.
"What I mean is that it's time for you to find someone you like. You haven't practiced boy skills. What's the use of guarding your pure Yang all the time?"
