Chapter 178: Fate
At this time, in the small restaurant, after Locke made a vigilant gesture, the coffin that had been carried by Locke on his back was directly opened from the inside, and at the same time, the knife inside automatically flew to Locke's hand.
The moment Locke's hand grasped the knife, a purple-red light spread out, and in just one breath, the entire room was directly rendered purple-red.
But at this time, I saw the old man who was sitting there, and there was no other superfluous movement. Still as at the beginning, he reached out and gently held it in the air.
Then a circle of invisible fluctuations, with his hand as the midpoint, spread out to the surroundings, and the purple-red evil qi in the room, after encountering these fluctuations, slowly contracted, and finally, the purple-red evil qi that was originally full of the house was all gone, and was suppressed on the blade of the knife.
"Xiaoyou, don't be so nervous, I don't have any malicious intentions!" Just after the old man suppressed his evil spirit, he said in this time.
Locke didn't answer, but just looked at the other party vigilantly, not letting his guard down for a moment.
"Boy, my master said that there is no malice towards you, so there must be no malice, after all, if we want to deal with you, do you think you can resist it with your current strength?" At this time, the young man who had been standing behind the old man spoke.
Hearing the young man's words, Locke didn't know how to speak for a while, after all, looking at the hand that the old man showed just now, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
If the other party is unfavorable to you, you won't talk so much to yourself, and you won't be done with it.
However, although he thought so in his heart, considering that Carmen was behind him, he couldn't just give in, so for a while Locke was in a dilemma.
"Locke, don't be so nervous, I think this old gentleman should really be, he has no ill will towards us, after all, he also made us such a big table of dishes." Carmen, who had been behind Locke at this time and didn't speak, seemed to see Locke's mood now, so he spoke, which can be regarded as giving Locke a step down.
Of course, Locke accepted the steps handed by Carmen, but he still pretended to be disdainful, especially after putting the knife into the coffin, and snorted coldly at the master and apprentice before sitting in place.
Carmen smiled slightly at Locke's performance, and there was a hint of helplessness in his beautiful eyes, he felt that sometimes Locke was like a child who didn't grow up and always needed to take care of himself.
As for Locke's movements, the old man didn't say anything, just kept the smile that had existed since he came out, as if the thing that Locke had just drawn his knife had never happened at all.
At this time, although Locke sat down, and from the face, he didn't have any superfluous expressions, just looked at the master and apprentice in front of him with a cold face.
But Locke is bitter in his heart, he is also a person who travels, look at others, which one is not the air after crossing the second, how did he get here, except that when he began to learn the sword, he met a pirate who could fight with him.
In the period of time since, I haven't met a person whose cultivation is weaker than myself, and there is no one who can make himself a little pretend, although he doesn't care about these, but this doesn't mean that he likes to be abused.
Look at the person you have met, first the time I met Ace, the old man named Zhu Shi, easily suppressed his own boatload of people, and then came to the Great Voyage, but before it started, he encountered the Sealing Island incident, which was really crushed by the other party, and there was no room for resistance at all.
Originally, Locke came to this island thinking that there was nothing that could threaten the existence of himself and others, but he didn't expect that he just came out for a meal, and met another one, why was he so unlucky.
"Let's talk about it! Your Excellency is so strong, why did you appear on such an island, and why did you have me in the morning. After being speechless for a while, Locke was the first to ask.
"I followed the guidance of fate to come here, it is still fate, and I met you here, all of this is the guidance of fate." When he said this, the old man's expression was very reverent, just like the believers that Locke had seen before.
"Fate, Lao Tzu is a traverser, you tell me fate, I am not a person in your world, and the fate of your world can't control Lao Tzu at all." After hearing the old man's words, Locke thought speechlessly.
But although Locke thinks so, he can't show it, after all, looking at the other party's way just now, if he says something bad, the other party should beat him, absolutely so.
"So, old man, what is your so-called fate?" Locke asked, pretending to be very interested in fate.
Looking at Locke's eyes, I have never been so sincere at this time, if this is a rehearsal movie, Locke feels that with his acting skills just now, there is absolutely no problem in winning the actor.
Maybe Locke's performance just now was really too successful, which made the old man feel that Locke was a person who was as interested in fate as himself, so he directly began to give Locke science about what the so-called fate was.
"Fate, i.e., fate and luck, refers to a pattern in which things are carried out by a combination of fixed numbers and variables, and fate and luck are two different concepts. Destiny is a definite number, which refers to a specific object; Fortune is a variable, which refers to the transformation of time and space. The combination of fate and fortune is the process of the transformation of a specific object in time and space...... "The old man explained to Locke what fate was very spiritual.
However, after he spoke, Locke was indeed a little surprised, after all, when Locke saw the other party just now, when he talked about fate, his face was full of piety, and he thought that he was really like those believers, what kind of goddess of fate did he believe, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
This made Locke a little unexpected, after all, his explanation of fate was very similar to the theory described in a book called "I Ching" that he had read in his previous life, which had to make Locke wonder if there was a book in this world.
If so, what does this world have to do with the world you were in, it shouldn't be just a fantasy world.
At this time, Locke pretended to be really listening, in fact, when he was thinking about the origin of these two masters and apprentices in his heart, Carmen, who was originally sitting with Locke, couldn't resist the temptation of the food in front of him, and began to eat the dishes in front of him.
At this time, Carmen can be regarded as seeing that although the two people in front of him have any purpose for Locke, they really shouldn't hurt the two of them, so there should be no problem with all the food in front of them.
So Carmen didn't be polite or vigilant, picked up the dishes and chopsticks next to her and ate them.
