The courtyard is silent and divided into two parts: Yin and Yang.
On the yang side, it is hot and dry, like the scorching sun; on the yin side, it is cold and damp, like the falling wind and snow.
Xu Yue and Lan Qing walked on the line where they intersected, slowly walking towards the depths of the courtyard.
"Although this place is small, there is a cave inside. This yin and yang force seems simple, but in fact it is quite troublesome to arrange. If you are not careful, the conflict between ice and fire will cause a powerful explosion. If you do not control the spiritual power accurately enough, I can’t show it off at all… It seems like this divine fortune teller is quite powerful.”
Xu Yue commented as he walked, and Lan Qing's attention was finally attracted. She looked at the wonderful scenery on the left and right and nodded slightly.
"No, this is Xiao Dao'er. It can't be compared to the wonderful magic skills of Xu Daoyou and Lan Daoyou."
Suddenly, an old voice came from the darkness ahead, and a figure slowly walked out.
Xu Yue and Lan Qing stopped and looked at the gray-bearded old man coming towards them with strange expressions.
Is this person the fortune teller?
"What, you two fellow Taoists, are you surprised?"
The wrinkled skin on the divine fortune teller's face smiled slightly, and with a flick of the dust in his hand, the scene of ice and fire on the left and right quickly receded, becoming no different from an ordinary room. At the same time, he said inscrutably: "Although you and I are monks, our life spans are long. But after all, he is still a man who has passed his prime. If a mortal at this age is already on the verge of death and dying, then what’s so weird about the old Taoist’s appearance?”
After listening to these words, Xu Yue and Lan Qing paused for a moment, then one of them raised his hands and cupped his fists, the other leaned forward to salute, and said in unison: "What the fellow Taoist said is very true, I have learned from it."
In fact, it's not that they don't understand this truth, it's just that on weekdays, the strongest generation basically appears in the image of young people, either a handsome gentleman standing in the wind, or a gorgeous fairy descending to earth. Old men like Shen Shuzi are still extremely rare. .
After all, an age of about a hundred years is too young and insignificant for a monk whose lifespan can easily reach thousands of years. It can be called a "young age".
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Xu Yue and Lan Qing were extremely respectful as if they were meeting a senior.
"Pfft...haha, hahaha!"
Until suddenly, the fortune teller in front couldn't hold it in any longer. His original serious old face grinned and burst into laughter, making Xu Yue and Xu Yue frown slightly and feel a little confused.
"Forget it, forget it, two fellow Taoists, please stop worshiping me. The Taoist path just now was just a trick. I can't bear the gift from Brother Xu and Fairy Lan." The divine fortune teller's temperament changed. He was no longer divine, but Becoming like a street philistine and a smooth fortune teller is hard for people to adapt to.
"Is it fun to do this?" Xu Yue slowly put down his saluting hand and asked expressionlessly.
"If Brother Xu is asking about those glib words, I apologize, but if you two think that Xiaodao was deliberately made to look like this, you are totally wrong."
The fortune teller chuckled and shook his head, then turned around and said, "You two have arrived a little later than I expected. Were you delayed by that guy from Zhu Lun? The tea I brewed for you has gone cold. Please come in quickly." Let’s talk about the room.”
After the fortune teller finished speaking, he walked to the depths of the courtyard, stood in front of a screen, and made a seal, causing the screen to move slightly, revealing a dark secret room inside.
Xu Yue and Lan Qing looked at each other and followed silently.
Boom...
As soon as he entered the secret room, the screen behind him automatically returned to its position. After a soft sound, the whole world became quiet. Xu Yue's ears twitched slightly, and he even heard the sound of Lan Qing's skirt rubbing against him, and the footsteps of the fortune teller in front. As harsh as noise.
This is the place of tranquility filtered by the secret method. This is the kind of environment the fortune teller needs when practicing.
"What do you mean by what you just said?" Xu Yue walked to a desk, looked at the slightly cold tea on it, and asked in a deep voice.
The fortune teller pointed at the tea and indicated that Xu Yue could taste it first, but after seeing the other party's gloomy face, he said awkwardly: "Well, it seems that the joke just made left a bad impression on Brother Xu. ...That’s all, Xiaodao is here to apologize again.”
The divine fortune teller stood up, bowed, and then stopped writing, his expression gradually became serious, and said: "Continuing from just now, the reason why Xiaodao said that the current appearance is not his wish, is really due to the unpredictable nature and backlash. ah."
"Backlash?" Xu Yue frowned.
"That's right, backlash."
The divine fortune teller nodded, looked at Xu Yue, and said seriously: "I heard that Brother Xu has made great achievements in the cause and effect. Naturally, I should know the principles. Forcibly interfering or detecting the future will be punished by God! On this point, you and I are similar. "
Hearing this, Xu Yue couldn't help but remain silent, remembering the serious consequences of using the Karma Ban several times, and nodded slightly.
"So the Taoist friend is like this because of the past?" Lan Qingruo pointed out.
"That's right."
The divine fortune teller nodded, spread out one hand, looked directly at the palm of his hand, as if looking into a mirror, and murmured: "A few months ago, the path suddenly turned black, and blood spilled from the mouth and nose for no reason. I sensed that something was wrong, and I divined something. After the hexagram, the ten ominous signs are displayed. When he is frightened and doubtful, he spends all his energy and blood to barely figure out the secret of heaven, avoid disaster in a certain place in Tianzhou, and escape the disaster."
The Divine Operator's self-narration, with a heavy and cold tone, echoed in this quiet place, making Xu Yue and Lan Qing feel a slight chill on their backs.
"Subsequently, a few days ago, I suddenly had an unknown fire in my chest. I dreamed of meeting a soul-haunting demon. My eyebrows and my heart were pounding. There was a faint cold gleam stabbing at me. When my mind was extremely restless, I thought of another hexagram! Fortunately, God has favored me and my ancestor has protected me. , it turned out to be a secret, and I knew that the gangsters were about to attack, so I joined forces with the Taoist friends from Dao Protector Mountain secretly, used me as bait, and finally turned defeat into victory!"
The fortune teller's voice has changed. Although it is still old and weak, it is full of confidence and determination. This is the pride of the strongest generation and he will never allow others to manipulate him at will!
Xu Yue and Lan Qing couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this, thinking of the scene of a young Taoist man playing with tortoise shells and animal bones, holding a compass and dust fly, and strategizing in this secret room.
After a few breaths, the enthusiasm subsided, and the fortune teller also made a self-mockery, and said softly: "However, as you can see, he escaped two killings in succession, and the path was brutally attacked by heaven. Now he is seriously injured, his realm has collapsed, and he has fallen through the tribulation. , the source of life is damaged, life span plummets, and cannot be replenished, so it shows the appearance of old age."
Xu Yue and Lan Qing were speechless. Their faces no longer looked displeased. Looking at the old man who bowed his head and said nothing, their eyes were full of admiration and recognition.
The atmosphere relaxed greatly. After Shen Shuanzi finished explaining, he sat down cross-legged again. But this time, Xu Yue and Lan Qing were not polite. They picked up the herbal tea on the desk and sipped it gently.
Sweet and refreshing, it leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth.
"Good tea." Xu Yue nodded and praised without hesitation.
"Hahaha, Brother Xu has good taste."
The divine fortune teller sat across from him and laughed, then changed the topic, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and said with burning eyes: "Actually speaking, the three of us are really destined! The last time the trail was like this due to fortune telling, it was a hundred years ago Before, and that hexagram has a lot to do with you two."
