Chapter 9 Fortune Telling or Divination?
The person who came was a man who couldn't see his age, saying that he was young, but he could see the precipitation of the years in him; But he is old, his skin is very smooth, his eyes are sharp, his posture is straight, and his body exudes a kind of arrogance that belongs only to young people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć He has shoulder-length black short hair, and wears a black robe with embroidery of flowers and birds, and his dress is clearly in the same style as Urlinger.
The man also noticed my presence, he looked at me with interest, and suddenly said: "Young man, I see that you are dignified and amazing, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future, why don't you let me calculate a hexagram for you and see what your fortune will be in the future?" ā
I was a little stunned by his sudden words, and it took me a long time to react: This person's speech is really weird, what bones are surprising, is my bones crooked? Why don't I think so...... Listen to what he means, it seems that he wants to give me divination?
I looked up at the man again and saw that he was looking at me with a smile on his face. I suddenly felt my scalp tingle, but Wu Ling'er looked at me expectantly, this ...... Forget it, no matter how much, it's idle anyway, so let him do some divination!
So, I obediently followed him into the inner hall. The inner hall is very empty, there is nothing else except a table, probably this room is dedicated to divination?
This man's divination method is also very special, and his table does not have a crystal ball, but is engraved with the same pattern as on the door. The man just sat there and watched me without any actual movements, and I was a little impatient to wait, and I couldn't show it, so I had to say, "Sir, why don't you take out your crystal ball first?" Isn't it a waste of time to sit like this now? ā
Who would have thought that man would look disdainful: "What crystal ball?" I never need those tricks and gimmicks, as long as I pinch my fingers so casually, your fortune is not a matter of hand-to-hand? As he spoke, his fingers were so symbolically "pinched" in the air. After about a few seconds, he suddenly showed an exaggerated expression: "Not good! Young man, your Yin Tang is black, numerology is difficult, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of blood and light! ā
I was startled by his startled expression, and I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so I had to turn my eyes to Urlinger for help. Wu Linger explained, "What my master means is that you may encounter some bad things recently, ranging from injury to death. ā
The bad thing? My heart sank.
In normal times, I would have taken the results of such street divination as a joke at most, and I wouldn't have cared about it, but today I don't know why, but after meeting the girl before, I have always had a very bad premonition. And my instincts have always been accurate.
I glanced at the man again, and he looked at me with a blank face, as if he didn't care at all about the results of the divination. I thought about it, his way of divination is peculiar and his clothes are strange, is it really different from ordinary street divination? I'll hear what he has to say before I make a decision.
So I asked tentatively, "What do you call him?" Are you a prophet? ā
In this world, although prophets can predict the future to a certain extent, most of them are fragmentary, and few people can say the results so certainly. Moreover, after all, prophets are descendants of the gods and humans, which is very rare, and even if they do, most of them directly hold important positions in the court, so most of the soothsayers in the neighborhood have no real skills, just to entertain the public.
The man squinted at me and said with a faint smile: "My name is Wuyao, and I am not a prophet as you call me, but just a lazy idler who travels around and occasionally arrives in Megril and settles down temporarily. ā
After listening to Wu Yao's answer, my doubts did not decrease, but became more and more confused. Because the area where our Terrans live is on the main continent of Megril, since he said that he traveled around to Megril, where was he before? It seems that there are no other landmasses with human tracks, right?
It was obvious that Wu Yao had noticed my doubts, and he explained with a smile, "My apprentice Wu Ling'er and I are from a distant and exotic east, a place called Huaxia. ā
It dawned on me: I see! No wonder I feel that he and Urlinger have a sense of incongruity in this world!
I know that there is no land in the East, only the sea, which Megril has discovered, but the China he is talking about appears in ancient texts. An explorer stumbled upon that magical land by some secret method. According to the explorer's expedition logs, it was a completely different world from ours, a place full of mystery and wonder, only no one could ever reach it since. Thinking of this, I suddenly began to believe Wu Yao's previous words.
"So what do I do?" I asked.
Wu Yao took a sip of the teacup and said slowly: "This is the catastrophe of your life, and you can only solve it by yourself." Heaven cannot be leaked, I can only give you a few pointers at most, and the rest is all up to you. As he spoke, he took out a stone from his arms and threw it to me: "Take it, this is a basalt stone, it is a basalt stone, this is a divine beast, the key to your destiny is in it, you have to keep it well." It's getting late, Wu Ling'er, send off! ā
So I was pushed out the door by Urlinger in a daze.
The rain outside has stopped. Thinking that it was indeed getting dark, I planned to go back early, so I took a shortcut and walked into the woods. In the grove, I held the basalt stone and thought as I walked, and the more I thought about it, the more strange it became. According to Wu Yao's words, that Xuanwu must also be some kind of creature. I looked at the stone for what it really was, but I was disappointed: isn't this a turtle?
I couldn't help but feel annoyed, suspecting that I had been tricked. Thinking back to everything that happened today, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes: after a busy day, I ended up with such a broken stone? You can't give it as a gift to Onira, it's a fool's throw to co-author this day! I felt a little tightness in my chest, and even the more I looked at the stone, the more unpleasant it became, so I casually threw it into the distance, I didn't want others to see me like a fool and take a broken stone as a treasure.
The surroundings along the way are very quiet, although there are few people here in normal times, but today it is quiet and a little weird. The sun had already set, and at some point, the sky began to thunder, and I thought to myself, I was afraid that there would be another rainstorm after a while, and I had to hurry back. So I followed the thunder, let the lightning slip through the air, and trotted down the path. I don't know how long later, suddenly a huge fireball crossed the sky and came straight at me. I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I quickly moved away from the fireball. Unexpectedly, the fireball seemed to have eyes, and it followed me straight behind me, as if it would not give up until it caught up with me, and the trees were ignited and the smell of scorching along the way.
I was anxious to walk through the woods, and I panicked: what the hell is this!;
