Chapter 169: Evil Body
Gu Xian, a mysterious old man, remembered that ten years ago, it was the words of this old man that gave him a new understanding of this world, and since then, it can be said that the vision of Yuan Xuan is far higher than everyone he knows. Of course, it is precisely because of this that he is particularly sensitive to these things left over from ancient times.
However, there are some things, the more he understands, the more terrible he feels, ten years have passed, he has experienced too much and understood too much, gradually, he found that this old man is not as simple as he said, is it really that easy to be a mortal and play the world?
Yuan Xuan took a step and walked towards the old man's stall, every step felt extremely heavy, his heart was trembling, as if he was excited about the truth he had been pursuing, and the old man on the opposite side also looked towards Yuan Xuan, his hands were on his back, his face was steady, and the breeze blew his gray robe, showing a fairy wind and bones.
This should have been a very serious picture, at least Yuan Yuan thought so, but when he came to the old man at close range, the old man's actions really betrayed him.
"Donor, ancestral hexagram industry, divide the gold and cut the position to look at the palmistry, look for fate and measure the word to find the good luck, you are not allowed to do not want money! Do you want to count a hexagram! Only accept five taels of silver!" The old man said in his mouth, and the immortal temperament on his body suddenly disappeared, and the aura was unusually consistent with the hawker beside him.
"Senior, it's been a long time!" Yuan Xuan greeted, his eyes were still staring at the old man carefully, he wanted to confirm the identity of this person, but the contrast in temperament was too great.
"Young man, I see that there is an evil qi above your heavenly spirit, is there any trouble in the near future? Can you let the old man treat you!" The old man's eyes were delicate, the corners of his mouth were smooth, and his solemn posture seemed to be pretending no matter how he looked at it, but I saw him spread out a palm and said in a more cautious tone, "As long as five taels of silver, the old man will let you survive the disaster safely!"
"It costs five taels to tell a fortune!!Why don't you go and rob it!!" A middle-aged businessman-like person next to him surrounded him, and he was about to be fooled when he saw that fate was destroyed, and he couldn't help but advise, "Little brother, don't believe him, what he says is nonsense, and there is no basis! Just yesterday, I saw him snatching food with dogs in front of people's gates." ”
Rao is fate has a certain psychological preparation, and at this moment he was also stunned by the words of this middle-aged man, and he was actually reduced to grabbing food with dogs.
"What are you talking about!" the old man raised his eyebrows and glared at the merchant angrily, looking like he was about to burst into a rage, "It's just nonsense, did you recognize the wrong person?
"I recognize you as you turn to ashes!" the merchant pursed his lips, looked impatient, glanced at fate, turned and left.
"Little brother, don't believe his nonsense, this man is jealous of his old age's knowledge!, so he would be so malicious and slanderous!" the old man hurriedly explained.
The old man was still angry, and in the blink of an eye, he showed a profound posture, and the contrast between the emotions before and after was so great that it was really incomprehensible.
"Seniors don't know me?" asked Yuanxuan.
"Of course I know!" The old man touched his goatee, looked like a master, sighed deeply, and said, "The hexagram back then, the old decay is still unforgettable!"
Hearing this old man's words, Yuan Xuan also sighed, shook his head, and was already sure in his heart that this person was not the Gu Immortal he met in the Penglai Forbidden Land ten years ago, but his demeanor was very similar to the person in Chiba City, but he didn't know what kind of connection there was between these three people.
"Have you ever been to Chiba Castle in the Central Plains?" asked Yuan Shu again.
"You say the Central Plains?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Young man, the old man has been here for nearly ten years, not to mention the Central Plains, even the nearby sandy plains, I have never set foot in it!"
"It's not that person!" Yuan Xuan muttered to himself, "But why do they look exactly the same!"
"I said young man, do you want to count a hexagram, the old man looks at your face, but there is really a catastrophe!" said the old man.
Yuan Xuan stretched out his hand into his arms, took out a large ingot, and put it firmly on the table: "Then please ask the seniors to test a word for me!"
A blank piece of paper lay across the table, and Yuan Zhi pondered for a moment before writing the two big words "Yuan Zhi".
"Extinction!" the old man muttered carefully, his right hand kept fiddling with his fingers, and occasionally, he also observed the face of Extinction, and asked cautiously for a long time, "The donor has just experienced a catastrophe of life and death?"
"It's serious, life and death are not counted, it's just a special experience!" Yuan Xuan asked calmly, "Are the seniors confused?"
"Just now I saw that there was a ray of evil light in the center of your eyebrows, and now after a test, it is really as I expected!" the old man said, "The word yuan is a blessing word, and those who get this word are favored by heaven and earth, and the land of the eight directions contains friends, which can be described as the fortune of heaven and earth, and everything can be turned into it!"
Yuan Xuan nodded, what this person said has a certain amount of truth.
"However, although the fate is good, the donor suppresses it with the word extermination, and the peak and loop turn into separation, so the old man can almost conclude that the donor does not have many friends!" said the old man.
"But what does this have to do with the evil that the predecessors said?" Yuan Xuan was still very calm, but staring at the old man's gaze, revealing a hint of sharpness.
"Naturally, it's related!" the old man put down the paper, carefully observed the face of the extinction, and said, "I look at the donor's face gently, and I don't look like the kind of person who is separated, this point is contrary to the meaning of this word, dare to ask the donor, but has he changed his name?"
Yuan Xuan smiled and did not speak.
"The old man just asked casually!" the old man smiled awkwardly, "According to the hexagram, the donor used to be a lucky person, and there should be many close friends around him. It was only later that he experienced setbacks and changed his mind, so he had the withdrawn appearance he has now. ”
"I've experienced the trapped dragon tribulation below!" said Yuan Xuan lightly.
"Trapped Dragon Tribulation!" the old man looked at the fate in amazement, his fingers quickly calculated, and said, "No wonder, the trapped dragon tribulation should be a mortal situation, the donor not only survived this catastrophe, but also did not go crazy, it is really incredible!"
"The seniors haven't said anything about evil spirits yet!" Yuan Xuan's eyes were slightly cold, and the old man was very accurate, so he almost didn't say his name, which made him feel a strong uneasiness.
"The young man is just anxious!" The old man didn't notice the attitude of fate, thought about it and thought, and asked cautiously, "Have you heard of an ancient method in the world, called interception!"
"Interception?" Yuan Xuan paused for a moment, and wondered, "Isn't that a method of gathering other people's fortunes handed down from the tombs of the people?"
"It's good that you've heard it!" the old man said slowly, "This method of intercepting luck was actually originally created by a vein of the ghost path in ancient times, and then this vein was destroyed, and this ancient method has evolved several times, and it has been greatly simplified, and now it has become a method of gathering fortune for the descendants of the tomb owner in the tomb!"
"But what does this have to do with me?" asked Yuan Zhi rhetorically.
"As I said just now, the trapped dragon tribulation is actually a mortal situation, and the donor can survive safely, it must be inseparable from the fortune!" The old man carried his hands behind his back, and the unfathomable meaning between his eyebrows was re-revealed, "All kinds of signs show that someone has applied this method to you, since then, but anyone who has a deep friendship with the donor, whether it is relatives or friends, their fortune will be greatly reduced, and on the other hand, your fortune has skyrocketed, so that you can resolve the trapped dragon catastrophe!"
Hearing the old man's words, Yuan Xuan was shocked into a cold sweat, he suddenly remembered the five people who crossed the sea to Penglai together ten years ago, Wan Qian and Mo Li died one after another, Ning Xin was disfigured, Wan Ting was hated by the righteous people, and was forced to wander for ten years. According to the old man, all this is his own harm. But who was most likely to cast this spell on himself at that time?
He thought of Gu Xian and couldn't help but stare at the old man in front of him.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The old man thought that he was worried about others, and hurriedly said, "This method of intercepting luck will not be permanent, and now the evil qi is born in your heavenly spirit, which means that the effect of this method has subsided, and those who are absorbed by you will gradually improve their luck!"
"Everyone is dead!What is the use of good fortune!" Yuan Xuan suddenly sneered, "Is this so-called evil qi a kind of backlash?"
"It can be said that it can be said that it is not!" the old man said endlessly, "It is mentioned in the Tao Te Ching that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things!
"Contrarian trend?" asked Yuanxuan, "what is the explanation?"
"The so-called rebellion means that all things give birth to three, three to two, two to one, and one life......" The old man did not say the last word, as if there was such a taboo in his heart.
"What is the life?" asked Yuanxuan, "Is the Tao of life the origin?"
The old man shook his head, sighed and said, "Young man, this is the real reason why there is evil qi in your heavenly spirits!"
"Why I say rebellion, it's because you have resentment in your body, since ancient times, people who have been able to get to that point are all geniuses, but in the process of repeating the cycle, it is easy to have such resentment!" The old man suddenly stretched out his hand and patted it heavily on the shoulder, "At the moment of returning to the source, I was disturbed by resentment and transformed into an evil body, you just asked me what I did in my life, in fact, I really want to say that life is the way, but this is a hopeless road, too many people, at the moment they go to the top, are all disturbed and turned into evil bodies!" ”
Yuan Xuan thought a lot, he thought of Wan Qing, the moment he stepped into Shangshan Ruoshui, it was also like this, the whole person's emotions became uncontrollable, is it really as the old man said, there is no hope for this road.
"Young man, your hexagram is finished!" the old man put back on the bench and excitedly put away the ingot, "Five taels of silver! Thank you!"
"You haven't told me how to crack it?" asked Fate Extinction.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and the old man suggests that you follow the will of heaven, travel the world as if you were below, and live in peace, so that this calamity can be solved!" the old man responded.
Yuan Xuan shook his head, suddenly picked up the comparison, and rewrote two big words on the paper, "Wan Ting!"
"Please also ask the seniors, help me test these two words!" Yuan Xuan took out another ingot.
The old man looked at the big ingots greedily, and then glanced at the two words, and shook his head helplessly: "Donor, the word is the same, it must be in harmony with the person, in order to be accurate, the person has not arrived, just by the meaning of the word, forgive the old decay is really unpredictable!"
"Seniors can give it a try!"
"No!" the old man still shook his head, glanced at the two words that had been written before, thought for a moment, and responded, "Donor, these two words complement your name, if you meet this person, it will be a great blessing for you!
"The senior is really a master!" Yuan Xuan slowly took the two blank pieces of paper into his arms, and then stared at the old man, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "Speaking of which, the junior still has a lot of things that you need to answer." It's better to ask my seniors to walk with me, and I will treat each other as elders!"
Without waiting for the old man to answer, Yuan Xuan stood up, waved his big sleeves, and in a blink of an eye, the two disappeared without a trace.
