Chapter 150: It's a little familiar
Hearing An Shice's name, Yang Ming's face instantly sank, and when he looked at the young man in front of him again, he couldn't help but have a little more hostility in his eyes.
Yang Ming still clearly remembers what happened when he practiced not long ago, he and Xin'er Lin Dong followed Uncle Wu Jian, escorted the medicine wizard Mr. Que Qing, to Wuxian City to participate in the annual medicine tasting conference, but on the way they were killed by a killer, wanting to kill people and take medicine, Yang Ming and others almost died in Wuxian City, and the mastermind behind the entire murder and medicine is the owner of Wuxian City, An Shice.
Therefore, when Yang Ming knew that the young man in front of him was actually An Shice's disciple, his previous good feelings were completely gone, and he was replaced by a hostile vigilance.
"You are An Shice's disciple!" Yang Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked vigilantly, "Then what are you doing here?"
Listening to Yang Ming's nervous questioning, the young man was very calm and calm, smiled casually, and said, "I was a little bored in the camp, so I came out for a walk. ”
As he spoke, the young man looked up at the green trees all around, and the setting sun shone among the trees, sprinkling a warm and soft orange light, and the young man seemed to enjoy such a quiet and peaceful dusk, and took a long breath of fresh air in the forest.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, and seeing that you've been sitting on the ground, are you sleeping?" the young man squinted tightly, looked at Yang Ming, and asked.
Hearing this, the young man coughed loudly, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he immediately explained, "No, I'm cultivating. ”
"Oh, that's it, sleep and cultivate! It's the first time I've seen it. The young man said as if he was a little ridiculous, and after chuckling indifferently, he took out a water bladder from his arms, and then handed it to Yang Ming, and said, "Seeing that you have been cultivating for so long, you must be thirsty, come, drink some tea, this is a good tea, or did you send it to King Jiang." ”
The young man held a water bladder and handed over tea in a friendly manner, and he smiled so brightly that anyone who saw him would think that he was a gentle gentleman, and he could not help but feel good.
Yang Ming hesitated slightly, the people of Wuxian City would have such good intentions? Could it be that there is a problem with the tea? But after thinking about it, a big force like Wu Xiancheng can't use such a despicable means as poisoning to deal with a mere teenager in Yang Ming.
Moreover, a whole afternoon has passed, and Yang Ming is indeed thirsty.
He took the young man's water bladder, and before he could eat it, he smelled the fragrance of tea, which was indeed a good tea.
Yang Ming lifted the water bladder, and the tea slowly poured into the young man's mouth like a thin stream, and the mouth suddenly felt moist and dried up.
"Whew, cool, it's really good tea. Yang Ming took a big sip and drank more than half of the tea in the water bladder before stopping.
"Thank you for the tea, oh, by the way, you haven't told me your name yet, what should I call you?" Yang Ming asked as he handed the water bladder back to the young man.
When receiving favors, you should always know the other person's name.
"Hehe, you just call me white, everyone calls me that. The young man who called himself Bai withdrew the water bladder and said with a brief introduction.
"White, your name is really unique. "There is only one word in the name, and this is the first time the boy has heard of it.
Bai smiled slightly and said, "The world is so big, there are no surprises, and it's not strange to see too much." ”
"Well, that's right. ”
"Just now, although you closed your eyes, but I saw that your brows were furrowed, what are you worried about?" Bai Chong asked the young man.
Yang Ming scratched his forehead, he was indeed troubled, what did Wu Jian mean by "one", the young man looked at the stone, and thought about it all afternoon without understanding the meaning, he had been staring at the stone tightly, but the stone is the stone, how could it be regarded as "one". But what annoys Yang Ming the most is that tomorrow's competition with Rongguo people is imminent.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but get nervous again.
"You're worried about tomorrow's battle with the eight of Rongguo. Bai seemed to see through Yang Ming's thoughts, and immediately said.
"Yes, it's not all thanks to your master, if it weren't for the eight-man battle he proposed, I wouldn't need to be so distressed. Yang Ming said complainingly.
"Hehe, that's really sorry. However, my master is just trying to make a winner in this exam, if you split the victory and defeat with the Rongguo people in the Mountain of No Return, my master will not propose the so-called eight-man battle, right?"
Yang Ming was noncommittal and did not reply.
"I see that you still have some resentment against my master, so let's take it as compensation, I can do a divination for you for free, how about it?"
"Divination?"
"Hehe, yes, I'm a disciple of An Shice, and of course I'm also a prescient wizard. Bai straightened up slightly and said with a bit of pride.
The so-called forethought is a type of sorcerer who is good at prophecy and divination, which can observe the celestial phenomena and calculate future events. In the mainland, the prescient wizards, especially An Shice, are the most famous. can be a disciple of An Shice, this identity is enough to prove Bai's strength.
Being able to know the future is still very tempting, Yang Mingxiao's face was slightly hot, and his eyes became much hotter.
"Okay, Bai, then can you help me calculate, tomorrow's competition with the Rongguo people, can I win?" Yang Ming thought for a moment and immediately said. Grave.
"Oh, that's a nuisance. Bai's face moved slightly, and he said, "Human affairs, especially wars, are the most unpredictable, because on the battlefield, they are often ever-changing, and there are too many variables. ”
"Still, I can give it a try. ”
After speaking, Bai sat cross-legged, then groped for a while from his arms, and took out a turtle shell, the back of the turtle shell is engraved with a very simple pattern, there is a sense of solemnity and mystery.
Bai gently shook the turtle shell three times, and there was a muffled sound inside, and then, three ancient yellow copper coins were poured out of the turtle shell. Bai showed Yang Ming three copper coins and said, "Turtle copper shakes the hexagram, which can determine the good fortune and evil, and the copper coin, the obverse is auspicious, and the reverse is fierce." ”
After speaking, Bai poured the three copper coins into the turtle shell again, then raised the turtle shell with both hands, pointed it to the sky, and shook the turtle shell three times in a circle, and then shook the turtle shell three times against the ground, in a way that wrote a square.
It is the meaning of the round heaven and the place, seeking the sky, for the circle, asking the earth, for the square.
During the whole ceremony, Bai's expression was majestic, and a solemn sense of sacredness rose, and he said, "Jiang Guo student, Yang Ming, ask about the battle with Rong Guo tomorrow, and respectfully descend to heaven." ”
After speaking, Bai stopped moving, handed the turtle shell to Yang Ming, and said, "Yang Ming, you come and shake the last three times." ”
"I'm coming?" Yang Ming was slightly surprised.
"Since it is to ask you about it, of course, it is up to you to shake it, but you know that the future of man must ultimately be decided by man himself. Shiro held the turtle shell and explained.
The future of man depends on himself, even if he calculates.
Yang Ming nodded, and then sat down cross-legged in the face of Bai Tong, he took the turtle shell in Bai's hand, shook it lightly three times, and handed it back to Bai.
Bai chuckled in satisfaction, he laid the turtle shell flat in front of the young man, and then poured out the three copper coins one by one and fell to the ground.
Three copper coins, two facing tails and one face up.
Seeing this situation, Yang Ming asked eagerly, "Bai, what does this mean?"
"Two antis and one positive are for the big culprit. Tomorrow's battle, you're likely to lose. Without any cover-up, Bai explained directly.
Hearing this, Yang Ming's face instantly became gloomy, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of uneasiness.
"However, it is not guaranteed to lose, and if you still have a positive copper coin, it means that you still have a chance to win, but the odds are relatively small. Bai held up the only copper coin facing face-up and said comfortingly to Yang Ming.
"What, you may lose or win, you don't mean you don't say anything. Hearing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but complain.
"Hehe, Yang Ming, the future is unpredictable, what has not happened is full of variables, there is never absolute, even if I can predict the future, it is only a prediction of the probability of happening. ”
After listening to Bai's words, Yang Ming nodded, indeed, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, it is precisely because the future is full of variables that people will have the motivation to fight for the future.
"I'll give you this face-up copper coin, tomorrow's battle, I hope it will bring you good luck. After speaking, Bai handed the copper coin in his hand to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming accepted the copper coin and held it in his hand, and gradually felt a little good for this young man in his heart.
Witchham isn't full of bad people.
Yang Ming and Bai sat face to face, and then talked about many other things, Yang Ming found that he and Bai were particularly like-minded, and they had many things in common. For example, in this Jiang Rong and the two countries' excellent academic exams, Bai bluntly said that Rong Guo was a thief's ambition, and Liang Guo was harboring evil intentions, Liang Guo wanted to take advantage of the border dispute between Jiang Rong and the two countries to seek personal interests and expand Liang's dominance in the eastern territory, this opinion, Yang Ming agreed very much.
After chatting for a long time, inadvertently, it was already dark.
At this time, Bai seemed to realize something, suddenly stood up, and said to Yang Ming, "Yang Ming, someone is coming to look for you, I should also leave." I don't want to bother you. ”
Listening to Bai's words, Yang Ming subconsciously looked up into the distance, but except for the two of them, he didn't see anyone else coming over in the forest.
"Why haven't I seen anyone coming?" Yang Ming asked suspiciously.
However, at this time, Bai had already gotten up and left, he turned his head, chuckled and said, "Hehe, I'm a pre-contemplative wizard, you wait, she's coming." ”
With that, he walked back to the camp with light steps.
Looking at Bai's figure disappearing into the night, Zu Ze suddenly appeared, he stared into the distance, his face was slightly solemn, and said, "Bai, this person is a little familiar, I seem to have seen him in my long memory." ”
"Ah, Zu Ze, are you mistaken, I think that person is about twenty years old, you are an old man who has lived for a thousand years, how can you be familiar, if you have seen him in your memory, then he has also lived for a thousand years. Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said immediately.
Yes, Zu Ze is the soul of a thousand years ago, if it is a person he has seen in his long memory, then it is not a person from a thousand years ago.
