After lunch, a light rain began to fall, plunging the entire ancient city into a míméng beauty. 【】

The number of pedestrians on the streets has not decreased, but there have been many more people, and it seems that people are more willing to go outside in this weather and feel the freshness and comfort of heaven and earth. For tourists, visiting the city's historic attractions in the drizzle will make people feel more and more immersed in that quaint and solemn mood.

At about two o'clock, several policemen left the hotel.

Ma Liang and his entourage then walked out of the hotel and drove to the outskirts of the city.

Although the strange scuffle that took place on Pulan Street outside the city hospital last night did not have the noisy and spectacular scene when the underworld forces were fighting, it still had a great shock and frightening impact on the local residents. The unpredictable battle of magic led to the destruction of the power system of the city hospital and even the nearby area, and the impact of some magic forces in the heavens and the earth destroyed the glass on many buildings, damaged some exterior wall skins, and twisted a few power poles・・・・・・

It also caused the tragedy of two people who died on the spot.

If the police hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that people would have died, and the surrounding buildings and even the power system would have been even more damaged.

Even so, this little-known melee still led to the appearance of three innocent patients in the hospital - they themselves were weak and in a dying state, unable to withstand the sudden changes in the vitality of heaven and earth, and the power outage made them lose the support of medical equipment, and could only die innocently.

The whole case is very bizarre and has caused great damage and bad effects.

However, no traces of bullets were found at the scene of explosives or firearms, which made the police investigation somewhat difficult to start.

But the police are police after all, and from some clues they got from the previous assassination of Wu Yu, and then reasoning and judging, they had to focus their suspicions on the incredible battle of magic. And the object of suspicion also starts with Anya = Delis, Wu Yu, and the people around the Japanese ninja.

So it became inevitable to find Ma Liang to investigate the situation.

And the police also found a piece of news Anya # A teacher from Delis rushed from Ireland to visit Anya = Delis, left the hospital that night, and then disappeared; One of the Japanese who rushed to Ireland from Japan yesterday to visit the assassination was killed at the scene of the strange crime last night.

But what made the police feel even more strange was that when they were questioned by the investigation, they all said they did not know・・・・・・

It's all too obvious.

But the police are helpless about this, they need absolute evidence to handle the case, and some people can certainly be brought to the police station for the time being to control it. But there are also some people who can't move casually.

For example, Maleonn.

This is an easy-to-learn expert specially invited by the University of Edinburgh to give a lecture, a member of the board of directors of the International Federation of Easy Learning, and a news figure who has appeared in several major news media in Edinburgh in the past two days. And almost all the evidence can clearly prove that during the time period of the two major cases in just a few days, Ma Liang was at the University of Edinburgh or in the hotel.

So I knew that Ma Liang's suspicious xìng was very big, but the police just couldn't touch him.

Slowly driving in the black sè sedan in the light rain, Ma Liang looked at the Mercedes-Benz in front of the car from the gap between the seats, and said to the old man Lu Xiangan in a calm and roundabout way of mental power exchange;

"There are a few times when I feel the urge to kill Director Ma."

Lu Lao smiled slightly and said; "Director Ma should know."

"I seem to understand that he just wants to use me, and he doesn't want to harm me... ・・”

"Yes."

"What do I have to use?"

"Obviously, spells, abilities! What else do you have to take advantage of? ”

Ma Liang was silent, he thought that his ability in magic was indeed good, and it was worth Director Ma's painstaking layout to use him, but the problem was that so far, he had not followed Director Ma's path at all, and his thoughts and mentality jumped so much that Director Ma would be caught off guard and unimaginable.

And since Director Ma just wanted to take advantage of him and didn't hurt him, then he didn't think about it, once there was a conflict in Edinburgh City, such as the one last night, who could guarantee that he would be able to get out of the way?

Even if Ma Liang's magic is strong and can turn danger into a disaster, but this is Edinburgh, not his own territory, and if those hostile people use various means, the danger can be imagined. If Director Ma really has the ability to deal with all possible crises, why bother dragging Ma Liang to Edinburgh?

As for Mu Pei's question・・・・・・

Not to mention Director Ma, even Ma Liang now feels that it is simply not worth mentioning, and it can be said that it is easy for Director Ma to get rid of Mu Pei, unless he honestly does not take the lead and does not cause trouble for the rest of his life very early, otherwise, where he hides, he has to let Director Ma who has eyes and hands to turn it out.

While thinking about this, the sedan had already left the city and drove outside the gate of a manor.

The manor was very large, and it was hard for Maleonn to believe that the shelter belonged to the sī people's dwellings - in the drizzle méngméng, some old fences stretched from both sides of the gate into the distance, and then broke off abruptly after extending hundreds of meters away, as if the vast fields in the distance belonged to this manor, so there was no need to completely enclose the territory with great work.

Looking through the black wrought iron fence gate, there is a bluestone pavement, probably eroded by the years, with many small potholes on the slate, and the pavement glowing under the drizzle.

At the end of the bluestone pavement, there is a sudden rise of high walls and heavy gates!

It was a villa in the style of an ancient castle, or rather, a small castle. ** The meter-high city wall, the majestic and solemn city gate tower, the buildings next to the more towering ambiguity・・・・・・ the old mottled walls are climbing with green sè rich vines, and the grass growing in the cracks under the city wall and the bluestone road, all of which are flowing lù to show the heavy vicissitudes of history.

It seems that this is to come to the castle of the British aristocracy a hundred years ago.

At the entrance of the castle, several large men in black suits and sunglasses lined up with umbrellas, and one of them held up an umbrella to shield a man in the middle who looked to be in his fifties.

The middle-aged man was of medium height, with a high nose and broad eyes, a bald head, and a gray beard that was neatly groomed.

He wears a black sè suit, a white sè shirt, and a black sè bow tie・・・・・・

Although he doesn't look very special in his attire, he will invisibly exude a respectable temperament and nobility when he stands there!

He is Oron = Duke of McCaith.

When the two cars drove into the manor, Ma Liang was thinking about whether to save some money to take down the wasteland where Xishan and Qinghe intersected, and we could build a big manor. The high-end villa in Central China is compared with the ancient castle in front of ・・・・・・ is nothing to compare with!

The vehicle came to a slow stop.

Immediately, a big man with an umbrella stepped forward to open the door and respectfully invited the guests in the car to get out of the car.

After Ma Liang and the others got out of the car, Oren #McKess had a warm smile on his face, and stepped forward to say something that could be understood as welcome without translation.

Then, the group of Oron = McAis walked enthusiastically towards the castle.

A little doubt could not help but arise in Ma Liang's conscience: huò Oren = Is McKes really the culprit who caused the Glensyard Company? Judging from the physiognomy, this person should belong to a relatively upright person, but this person is relatively strong and persistent in some things.

I have to say that Oren = McAis gave Maleon's first impression was good.

Inside the castle, the pavement, walls, steps, and stairs are still the same old stone bricks... ・・It wasn't until I entered the large living room that I suddenly came to the home from the "tourist attraction", but the decoration and furniture were still in a classical style.

After the people served their coffee, they left.

In the living room, only Oren = Mai Kaisi, Ma Liang, Director Ma, Lu Xiangan, and An Bingpan were left, and there were no translators.

There was no need for others to say anything, An Bingpan and Ma Liang glanced at each other, then nodded and walked out.

Oren = McKeth then got up and smiled and went to the inner room next to him and took out a dark red sandalwood box.

The box is not large, and there is no ornate decoration, but it is very delicate and has a strong antique atmosphere, and it should be an antique.

Oren = McAis put on pure white silk gloves, and turned on a small lamp on the table like a table lamp, and the soft faint glow with a little blue sè light sprinkled on the box. When the box was opened, there was a stack of unordered papers, scattered inside.

On the top piece of paper was a drawing, with some small scribbled fonts.

Ma Liang's heart tightened suddenly, and he stared intently at the paper and drawings inside the box - yes, yes, it was definitely the original version of "Tui Bei Tu", judging from the font, painting technique, and material of the paper, it was exactly the same as the twenty-one "Tui Bei Tu" he had obtained in China.

Good stuff!

It's worth a fortune!

The living room was unusually quiet, and the breath was holding its breath -- all three of them, except for Oron = McCaith, were staring at the paper in the box.

After a while, Old Man Lu looked at Oron = McKeth and said; "Can I take it out and have a look?"

Oren = McKeth looked at Chief Ma.

Director Ma smiled and did the work of a translator.

"Of course you can ・・・・・ it, Oren = McKeith smiled and nodded in agreement, while handing a few pairs of white sè silk gloves that had been prepared next to him a long time ago to Old Man Lu.

Lu Lao put on gloves, carefully took out the paper inside one by one, and carefully placed it on the tablecloth made of a special material, and then sat down and observed it carefully. And Ma Liang was also beside him, carefully looking at the staggered papers on the table.

Most of them are damaged, and some even have pieces falling in the middle, and many handwriting and pictures are gone.

After a while... ・・

Lu Xiangan raised his head and said; "Oren = Mr. McKes, there is a saying in China that no profit can not be early, since Oren = Mr. McKes said that he wanted to give me "Tui Bei Tu", then, say your conditions."

Maleonn also withdrew his gaze from "Pushing Back Pictures" and looked at Oren = McCaith.

Regarding the question of conditions, Mr. Lu had already mentioned it to Ma Liang before--Oren = McKeis was contacted through Director Ma, and Mr. Lu said that he wanted to transfer "Tui Bei Tu" to Mr. Lu, but he did not say the specific conditions. When he learned of the whereabouts of "Tui Bei Tu", Lu Xiangan agreed almost without any hesitation to come to Edinburgh to see if it was true or not・・・・・・

The conditions are easy to discuss.

Its practical toes can be figured out, this is definitely not a problem of money, Oren = a character like McCaith, there is no shortage of money at all.

So what does he want?

Lu Xiang'an sī told Ma Liang that since Oren = Director McKeth Thomas had found me, he must have known my identity and power, so his condition must have been related to the skill of Qimen divination and prediction. Therefore, Lu Xiangan judged that Oren = Mai Kaisi ten ** is hoping to use the peerless "iron pen to determine the world" in the art of divination and prediction, to make a hexagram for him and set his future fortune.

The iron pen is definitely a trick against the sky.

There is no need to worry about small use, such as Ma Liang's unintentional small trick in Sanya, Hainan, which allowed him to win the first place, it is all a trivial matter. The big picture is the trend of people's fate for several years or even more than ten years.

After using this technique, the longevity is light, and in serious cases, it will also cause the heavenly calamity to descend or injure oneself or relatives because of the natural trend of the Heavenly Dao.

But what Lu Xiangan meant was that if it was really the case, he would agree to come down!

Zheshou also has to take the "Push Back Map" in his hands, because, value!

According to Ma Liang's meaning, there is no need to do this, or casually use magic to predict and fool this foreigner, or simply steal, rob, coerce and other unscrupulous ways to get the "Tui Bei Tu" back, this thing should be ours, why let the foreigner keep it?

Still need conditions?

Condition: Your sister!

It is true that Ma Liang also knows that this kind of idea is too much and difficult to realize. He also proposed another method, "Push Back Picture", the physical object of this thing is worth money, and if it is not worth it, it is worthless. The reason why it is valued is not because of the proverbs, eulogies, and foreshadowing diagrams in it.

Therefore, when Mr. Lu was able to identify the authenticity, he could read them one by one, and with Mr. Lu's ability, he could completely memorize the proverbs, eulogies, and foreshadowing diagrams.

If the proposed conditions of Oron = McCais are excessive・・・・・・

We don't want it!

Love!

But his ideas were all vetoed by Mr. Lu, and he couldn't persuade him.

Now, it's time to reveal.

With a figure like Director Arima acting as a translator next to him, Oren = McKeth said with a smile; "I don't have any excessive ideas, but I admire and admire China's ancient and mysterious Qimen divination and prediction skills, I have long heard that Mr. Lu is the most powerful figure in divination and prediction, erudite and talented, and has the ability to determine the situation with an iron pen・・・・・・ so I hope that I can get to know Mr. Lu through "Tui Bei Tu", express my sincerity, and then, worship Mr. Lu as a teacher, learn the art of Qimen divination and prediction."

Learn the art of divination and prediction!

Good greedy conditions!

Ma Liang frowned and looked at Old Man Lu - can you agree to this condition, in China has always paid attention to the teacher's inheritance, how can the magic be passed on? Even if you accept an apprentice, you can't accept this foreign devil as an apprentice.

Lu Xiangan obviously did not expect that Oren = McKes would put forward such a condition. However, the old man did not have any emotions, his expression was calm, and after a short silence, he smiled; "Oron = Mr. McKes, there is no need to apprentice, about the study of Qimen divination and prediction, I can discuss and learn with Mr. Olon = Mr. McKeth in the future."

This is very tactful and modest.

Discussing and learning together is equivalent to being willing to point out Oren = McKeth in terms of divination and prediction! You must know, not to mention the Qimen rivers and lakes in China, even in the global Yixue community, how many people are eager to be able to discuss with Mr. Lu Lao the mystery of the supreme prediction in learning Yixue, and be guided by him.

However, Lu Lao's words also revealed another meaning, I can guide you, and even teach you, but the apprentice can't, that is, the mastery of divination and prediction will not be taught to you.

Oron = McAyth shook his head again and again, with sincerity on his face, even with a pleading tone and a look of sè; "Mr. Lu, I really want to worship you as a teacher, learn the art of divination and prediction, and I promise not to pass on your magic to the outside world, I just want to explore the mystery, I have great admiration and respect for China's ancient magic culture, and I also yearn for one day to be able to learn China's magic culture, I have been working hard for this goal all these years."

Ma Liang secretly slandered nonsense in his heart, the whole world yearns for Old Man Lu's one-handed divination and prediction, and some of them have to be taught by apprentices?

Lu Xiangan sighed and said; "I already have apprentices, it's ・・・・・・ him," he said, he pointed to Maleon, "I can't take more apprentices, this is my principle, I hope Mr. Oren = Mr. McKes can understand." If Mr. Oron = Mr. McKeth wants to learn the art of divination and prediction, I can teach you as well, but only in the art of divination and prediction. ”

This is already Lu Xiangan's bottom line.

If there are any more excessive demands, I am afraid that a figure like Lu Xiangan will also consider the despicable plan proposed by Ma Liang before.

However, Ma Liang heard the hidden meaning of Old Man Lu's words, I can teach you the art of divination and prediction, and I don't teach you anything else, but it's not about physiognomy, feng shui, dreams, and divination, that's "iron pen determines the world"

To be more serious, the iron pen determines the future, and it really cannot be said to be a technique of divination and prediction.

You must know that the iron pen determines the fortune that has been calculated, and directly sets a stroke, so that this fortune maintains an absolute trend and will not affect its development because of any unexpected events. Let's just say that the iron pen can almost be said to be a life-saving masterpiece!

Think about it, you have good luck, but if an accident kills you, it's good luck.

In this way, the iron pen determines the situation, and it is not divination and prediction.

To be exact, it is a destiny!。
