"Why did you go into the mountains to learn art from your master?" asked the prince.

"After Xiaodao was picked up by his master since he was a child, he followed his master until he went down the mountain this time. I replied.

"I've been growing up in the mountains since I was a child, and it's really rare that your master can teach you so well. This king listened to your divination technique and did not miss anything, it was only by your ability that you saved Jiao'er and them three times along the way?" the prince asked.

I replied respectfully: "Lord Wang, this is actually just a coincidence, my divination technique is not punctual and inaccurate." ”

"It's good for young people to be modest and cautious, but it's not good to be too modest. The prince said casually.

"Lord Wang, it's really not modest. I've learned a bit about the usual arithmetic, but I'm not proficient at all. As for the unique art of divination that my master taught me, it was quite special, and I only learned a few scratches. I can only sense it when my own life is in danger, and make a calculation to avoid it as much as possible. So it's a coincidence that I can do some small things for the princess. I replied calmly.

"Oh, then tell me what the art of divination is?" asked the prince.

In fact, all the techniques of divination are not accurate predictions of the future, they only make one or several of the most tendentious inferences about the development direction of an event, so that people can better make choices to avoid evil. I replied.

"Well, that's a brilliant point. If this king wants to kill you now, can you calculate whether you will die or not?" the prince's tone was still calm, and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at me.

"Back to the prince, Xiaodao can't speculate, Xiaodao's life and death are all in the prince's thoughts. I replied without a hint of panic in my tone.

The prince smiled: "Hehe, this is interesting, have you already calculated that this king will not kill you? If your life is in danger, you will not be here at all, right?"

I replied, "Lord, this is not the case, what will happen in the future is always uncertain. The way of heaven is constantly changing, and the only constant is the essence of constant change. Therefore, nothing is bound to happen, and nothing is inevitable that will not happen, at most it is just a matter of which situations are likely to happen. The number of Dayan is fifty, and it uses forty to nine, which is what it means. ”

After listening carefully to what I said, the prince said: "Sure enough, he is a disciple of a master outside the world, and this king admires it." Come, this king toasts you, thank you for saving the little girl. ”

I hurriedly raised my glass and said, "The prince raises love, and the little way will never dare to be." Then he drank the wine in his glass.

After lunch, the prince asked us to accompany him for a walk around his back garden. This back garden is really big enough, a simple visual inspection of thousands of square meters is there, among which there are countless strange flowers and stones. After walking for half an hour, we walked to a gazebo to rest.

At this time, the deputy chief of the guard, who had been following the prince, said to me: "I have heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the eldest disciple of the Shenxiao Sect and the Buddha of Faleng Temple have said that the strength of the Taoist is not below them, and I don't know if I can take this opportunity to discuss with the Taoist Chief." ”

"Well, it's just rumors. Don't believe it, I don't like to fight, just forget it. I said.

The deputy chief soldier said in a slightly contemptuous tone: "Oh, isn't the Dao Elder afraid? Dao Chief, don't worry, we just have a simple discussion and won't hurt you." ”

I saw that Wang Ye and Zhang Zhiyi didn't speak, which made me a little unhappy with this kind of deliberate fault-finding. Besides, you have to find me, and I don't want to do anything for you, why are you trying to test me by changing the law.

I said to the deputy commander-in-chief: "Hehe, won't you? Everyone is an adult, you don't think that if you just use words to provoke me, I will do it with you for the sake of face, right?"

I continued: "You fight with people and use force, that is your duty, and you are doing this in the palace. But I'm just here to eat at the palace, and I don't want to do anything, so why should I talk to you? I basically can't watch other people commit adultery and beasts, or you will go out and rob a people's daughter and kill the whole family now? You see if I can kill you. ”

The deputy chief soldier said with a calm face: "Hmph, it's not easy to kill me, but what if I want to insist on hurting your life now?"

I sighed and said, "Alas... In this way, let's not talk here like two children. I'll go pick up a few rocks and set up a formation, and you can break through, and you will put on an after-show for the prince. ”

The deputy chief soldier looked at the prince, but the prince did not say anything. I went directly to pick up the stones and began to set up a formation in the open space, and this small formation did not take long to be laid out.

"You're ready to set up a formation?" looked at the stones scattered on the ground in front of him, and the deputy chief soldier asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's ready, you can go into battle. Rest assured, it won't put your life in danger. I said.

"Hmph!" said the deputy chief soldier and entered the formation. I returned to the gazebo under everyone's puzzled gaze, picked up the fruit and ate it.

At first, the deputy commander looked a little nervous and vigilant, but it seemed that nothing was happening in the formation. Just when everyone was puzzled and wanted to ask me, the deputy chief soldier suddenly shouted angrily: "Who said that I have lost the persistence of the warrior?!" and then stabbed around with a spear in his hand.

"Don't worry, I just laid a barrier outside the formation, and he can't hurt anyone outside. I said leisurely as I ate the fruit.

At this moment, the deputy chief soldier suddenly shouted: "Then what do you say I should do!? What do you say I should do!!"

After a while, everything was calm again, and the deputy chief soldier tried to calm his emotions and looked at me, and said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "How do you know?"

I said, "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”

Zhang Zhiyi asked at this time: "Yuzhen, what is your formation??" I said: "Mr. Zhang, my formation is called the Three Provinces Formation, which means 'three provinces and my body every day', which was boring when I was in the mountains, and I made it myself." ”

The deputy chief soldier interrupted me and asked, "Then what should I do??"

I said, "How do I know what you should do, and besides, don't you have the answer in your heart in your current state?" ”

The deputy chief soldier bowed his head in contemplation with a solemn expression, as if he was making some kind of decision. At this time, the prince opened his mouth and said, "Zhang Jin, what's wrong with you?"

The deputy chief soldier came back to his senses, bowed half-kneeling to the prince and said, "Lord, if your subordinates have something to do, please ask for your permission." ”

When the prince heard this, he glanced at me with some doubts, and said to the deputy chief soldier: "Tell me about it." ”

The deputy chief soldier said: "Back to the prince, it has been difficult for his subordinates to improve their cultivation in the past two years, and they seem to have realized something just after being mentioned by the head of the Dao Tour. The subordinates implored the prince to remove his subordinates from the post of deputy chief soldier first, let his subordinates be a guest secretary in the palace, and then let his subordinates serve the prince wholeheartedly after the subordinates made another breakthrough. ”

The prince's brows furrowed slightly, obviously not expecting this to happen. The prince said: "Okay, this king is approved, you have followed this king for many years from birth to death, what do you need, just say, you should retreat first." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, and my subordinates will retire. After saluting the prince, he respectfully bowed his hand to me and said, "Zhang Jin thanks the aisleman." "Turn and leave.
