Chapter 456: Heavenly Machine

Zhang Shengyun is the best celestial arithmetic in Chang'an City.

He was famous all over the world and had a prominent position, and was known by the world as the person closest to the immortals. For example, almost all the celestial arithmetic masters with names and surnames today are his disciples.

Heavenly arithmetic is a family all over the world, and is not attached to any big family, Zhang Shengyun has been adrift for half his life, only married a wife and had children ten years ago, and established a happy family, he has two sons and a daughter, the son is smart, and the daughter is well-behaved, he is very rare, he has never lost his temper with them, the only time, maybe only the youngest son is peeking at numerology books.

On that occasion, he snatched the book from his youngest son's hand, tore it to shreds, and slapped his youngest son, warning him not to read such books in the future. The youngest son wanted to say something to him, but he didn't listen to it, and slammed the door and walked out.

In the past few decades, fortune tellers have long gone from being extremely unpopular to being the most admired masters.

Especially a celestial arithmetic like Zhang Shengyun, his accuracy in calculating fate can be called miraculous.

The ancestor once said a well-known old saying, "Those who leak the heavenly machine are damned", but over the years, the heavenly arithmetic master has only enjoyed glory and wealth, and has never seen any heavenly punishment, and in this industry, many people even treat it as a joke.

Zhang Shengyun was in awe of this old saying, so he strongly opposed his family's learning of numerology.

He has earned them glory and riches, and they just need to keep it. Moreover, these days, he often feels uneasy, if he hadn't gone to see a big man today, he would have retired from the rivers and lakes.

Let's retire after seeing that big man......

Zhang Shengyun closed his eyes, and accompanied by a group of beautiful maids, he ascended to the Dexian Tower.

Dexian Building is the first building in the world.

It stands on the Lishui water, the whole body is pure white, reflecting the beautiful mountain scenery, it is shaped like a building, but there is no trace of carving, more like the crane passing through here, ready to fly back to the sky.

Zhang Shengyun is already a half-immortal in the world, but he is still uneasy, the reason is very simple, what he wants to see is a real immortal.

The immortal sat behind the beaded curtain, and his posture was graceful.

"I don't know why the immortal master summoned me here?" Zhang Shengyun asked respectfully.

"You are a numerologist, please come here, of course it is a fortune teller." Said the immortals.

Zhang Shengyun was not surprised by this, just waiting for her to report her birthday.

The immortal master gave him three copies of the eight characters of his birthday, and Zhang Shengyun answered the three eight characters one by one, and in response to him were three boxes of gold that were sent to him one after another. This shows that he was right.

"Well, these are the eight characters of my three personal maids, and your answer is exactly right." The immortals applauded.

"Thank you Immortal Master for the compliment." Zhang Shengyun breathed a sigh of relief.

The immortal in front of her is a real immortal, she has lived in the Dexian Tower for a hundred years, she is immortal, her face has not changed, and the grandmasters of the world together are not her enemies. There are many legends and stories about her. Although Zhang Shengyun has won the admiration of mortals, he is always in awe of such an immortal outside the world.

After passing the test, the immortal wrote his birth date on a jade note and handed it to him.

Zhang Shengyun respectfully took it and began to deduce.

While deducing, the immortal talked to him.

"I've heard that you numerologists can only count other people's lives, not your own, really?" The immortal asked.

"It's not absolutely impossible, but the answers are always general." Zhang Shengyun replied.

"Oh? Have you counted? ”

"Well, every time I go out to do something big, I will give myself a hexagram, I only know that there is a catastrophe in my life, and I want to live alone in the mountains and deal with this catastrophe wholeheartedly."

The divination entered the most critical link, and Zhang Shengyun stopped talking.

The immortal looked at the river scenery outside the Dexian Tower, his expression was leisurely, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A stick of incense burns out, and the soot is finely spread on the white grains of rice.

Zhang Shengyun also began to interpret the results of his deduction.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" The immortal asked.

"I ......"

"Mr. Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The evil is above, yin and yang are opposed, this is the hexagram of death and evil, and it is the omen of fate and mutual restraint, immortal master...... There will be death. Zhang Shengyun's voice trembled.

"You're right."

When the immortal heard this, he didn't care, just nodded slightly.

Zhang Shengyun still wanted to speak, but when he looked at these eight characters, the more he looked at them, the more he felt that something was wrong......

"Wait, ...... You're not human?! ”

An exclamation came out of his mouth.

Zhang Shengyun had a premonition that something was wrong, and he wanted to escape when he got up.

"You haven't taken the gold I gave you, so why are you going?" The immortal scoffed.

The curtain suddenly opened.

A hand was on Zhang Shengyun's shoulder, and the severe pain made Zhang Shengyun fall to the ground, he looked sideways and found that the fairy hand on his shoulder did not have the slightest sense of fairness and delicacy, on the contrary, it was dry and thin, glowing with a terrible iron blue.

"What are you?"

Zhang Shengyun was shocked, he didn't expect that the world-famous immortal master who lived in the Dexian Mansion was actually a monster.

This...... How can it be?

The monster leaned to his neck, sniffed his scent, and said, "Although the old man is a little older, he is indeed a rare master, not bad...... I have been cultivating for 70 years, and today the catastrophe is coming, and I know that I will not escape, so if I want to hide, I will hide it in your body, your life is very hard, and you can help me block the thunder. ”

"Seventy years? No, that's not right, Dexian Lou existed a hundred years ago, how could you have only cultivated for seventy years? Zhang Shengyun was terrified.

"The reason is very simple, because I am not the owner of the immortal building at all, the owner of this building left fifty years ago, she just left not long ago, I happened to be chased by a Taoist priest, and fled here on a stormy night, I was afraid to die, thinking that I would be killed by the immortal master, but I hid here for three days, and no one found me. Later, the maid came to knock on the door, I was afraid of being exposed, so I simply disguised myself as the owner of the fairy building, this pretending to be fifty years, if it wasn't for the catastrophe, I didn't want to tear the disguise. ”

The monster laughed.

She was smiling happily.

In the twenty years that she has been cultivating, she has been hunted down by Taoist priests all day long, living a life of fear, she has obviously done nothing wrong, those Taoist priests who seem to be righteous and awe-inspiring, just eat her precious Neidan. In the past fifty years, she has lived a life as noble as a fairy and is admired by people all over the world, which she never dared to dream of in the past.

In the past fifty years, she has mastered countless cultivation resources, so she has already cultivated into a great demon.

Even if she is born with her true face, there will be no more Taoist priests who don't know whether she is alive or dead to hunt her down, on the contrary, they may still respect her as a 'Shangxian'.

Her glamorous fairy face gradually faded, revealing her original appearance. Her cheeks were flat, featureless, smooth like a mirror.

It turns out she's a faceless demon.

She lay on Zhang Shengyun's shoulder, and her voice was charming:

"You are right, it is indeed the hexagram of death and evil, this is my life, now, I am going to give you all my life, we will be one."

This sentence is so gentle, gentle like the honey whisper of a lover's ears and temples, but for Zhang Shengyun, it is the sound of a sickle dragging across the ground when death comes.

"You monster, you can't die well!" Zhang Shengyun trembled.

"I'm sorry for you."

The Faceless Demon's vine-like arms wrapped around it.

The sharp pain tore apart Zhang Shengyun's body, his bones shattered inch by inch, his nails were broken one by one, and blood oozed out. He is an arithmetic, he has studied numerology all his life, and he has never cultivated the Tao, where is the opponent of this monster? He felt his body being dissected open, and the monster squeezed into his body little by little along the cracks in his body.

Zhang Shengyun was desperate.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

The faceless demon was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry and shouted:

"Didn't I say that I want to see a distinguished guest today, and no one is allowed to disturb me, no matter what is important, I will talk about it tomorrow!"

The man seemed to have no idea of etiquette, and the man ignored the faceless demon's rebuke, and walked up the stairs on his own, his steps unhurried, and the shoes he wore were a little stiff, and the heels of his shoes made a crisp sound when they hit the wooden steps.

The sound was doubly irritating.

Enraged, the Faceless Demon shouted into the stairs:

"I said, don't come up...... Do you not understand the words, or do you want to die?! ”

She is used to living a noble life, and she is a great demon with profound Taoism, how can she endure such a provocation.

She temporarily let go of the dying Zhang Shengyun, and her soft body was like a long python, and she rushed to the stairs with a swish.

Zhang Shengyun's body was light, he was paralyzed to the ground, he kept coughing blood, his body was tensed by pain, and he curled up into a ball.

In a daze, he heard a scream, it was the screams and begging for mercy of the faceless demon, the screams gradually became softer, something was thrown to his side, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a goddess of indescribable beauty.

It was a red-haired goddess, she was not very tall, but her figure was outstanding, she was wrapped in a simple long skirt, the skirt had a golden brocade pattern, the pattern was very beautiful, like the sky of Elysium, and the soft red hair was a river of fire flowing through the sky. She looked at Zhang Shengyun condescendingly, the pain-ridden celestial arithmetic had no other thoughts, just wanted to kneel down on her skirt.

"Lord Lou......" Zhang Shengyun said slowly.

He didn't know the person in front of him, but he knew her identity, such a peerless demeanor, who else could it be besides the real landlord of the Immortal Building?

And the defective product that has been disguised for fifty years has been nailed to the ground by her casually at this moment, and the convulsions are non-stop.

"Spare me...... Spare me...... My Neidan can prolong life, I dedicate it to you, you can let me live. The Faceless Demon pleaded bitterly.

She saw the portrait of this immortal master in Dexian Tower, her imitation of her also started from this painting, these fifty years, no one debunked, she thought that she had imitated to vividness, today I saw the deity, only to know that I and her is the difference between cloud and mud. Others didn't see it, probably just because they hadn't seen the true face of the red-haired goddess.

The red-haired goddess is none other than Si Duxue.

Today, she returned to the Dexian Building, which she hadn't returned to for 50 years.

She also didn't expect to run into such a thing.

Si Duxue turned a deaf ear to the faceless demon's plea for mercy, she just said lightly:

"Yaoqin, save him."

He Yaoqin, who was following her, nodded and went to treat Zhang Shengyun, who had a deformed body.

He Yaoqin and Si Duxue have experienced several hatreds and betrayals, they should have been enemies of the sky, but fate made people, after a few world-destroying catastrophes, they actually wiped out their enmity and became masters and apprentices again.

He Yaoqin took out the medicine box and needlework, leaned over, and began to heal Zhang Shengyun's injuries.

Zhang Shengyun thanked sincerely, he turned his head with difficulty, looked at the faceless demon who was nailed by the sword on the side, and said: "Actually, I lied to you, before I went out, I calculated a hexagram for myself, it was a hexagram of Jedi life, I must come to the immortal building, if I don't come, you will personally go out of the building to kill me, I have been puzzled before, why I came to the immortal building to live...... Turns out you're a fake. ”

"It's worthy of my carefully selected things to block the robbery, your life is really hard." The faceless demon said weakly, she closed her eyes, her heart was like ashes, and said: "Lord Lou, let's do it, I can live fifty years of immortal life, I know enough, fate is like this, I can't escape." ”

"Who said I'm going to kill you?" Si Duxue said coldly.

"What?"

"You have governed the immortal building for me for decades, although the governance is not proper, but it is not too bad, it stands to reason, I should still pay your salary."

"I ......"

The Faceless Demon was dumbfounded, and she said softly, "Just spare my life, and the salary will not be necessary." ”

"Do you really believe it?" Si Duxue said coldly.

The Faceless Demon froze again.

"Master is really funny."

While He Yaoqin was healing Zhang Shengyun's injuries, she stabbed the faceless demon in the heart. Killing people and saving people is dual-minded, and her hands are very steady.

The Faceless Demon has deceived people for decades, and was deceived before he died.

"You're a fortune teller?" Si Duxue looked at Zhang Shengyun and asked.

"Yes."

"Do the math for me."

Si Duxue sat down next to the long case, she looked at the immortal building that had not returned for many years, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.

In the past fifty years, she has been in the city of Doom, investigating the immeasurably large brain of the center of the earth, recently, the influence of the brain of the center of the earth on her is getting stronger and stronger, she is afraid of being infected by the brain of the center of the earth, so she plans to come back to recuperate for a while.

He Yaoqin saved Zhang Shengyun's life.

The best arithmetic in the world knelt in front of Si Duxue and kowtowed to thank him, and only then did he cautiously ask about her birthday.

Si Duxue wrote to him.

"Your profession has become more and more hot in recent years, and on the way home, I saw countless fortune tellers, more than the prostitutes in the Qinglou." Si Duxue said lightly.

"Heaven is just a meal." Zhang Shengyun replied.

"Heaven appreciates the meal...... That's right. Si Duxue sat in the recliner with her legs folded, looked at him quietly, and asked, "You have been immersed in this way for many years, have you gained any heavenly opportunities?" ”

Heavenly ......

Zhang Shengyun pondered for a while and replied: "I don't know the heavenly machine in the future, but ...... Over the years, there has been a well-known secret among numerology and arithmetic. ”

"What's the secret?"

"The day of the end of the Dharma is coming."

"The day of the end of the law?"

"Yes, the fate of every mortal is predictable, everything is predictable, there is a behemoth that is turning all living beings into marionettes in its hands, and when it really comes, the day of the end of the law is coming."

Zhang Shengyun said this, but he didn't panic, he didn't worry about the end of the day, he was only worried that this day would come before he died. He has experienced the catastrophe of his life, and now he just wants to live a good life and retire his life.

Si Duxue was silent.

She knew better than any mortal the so-called end of the day.

- The brain of the center of the earth is dead, and the day it dies completely, the whole world will be buried for it.

She leaned back in her chair and looked out over the river.

The world is vast, life is as small as dust, and the calamity of the world is coming, and who can resist it?

She felt a wave of exhaustion.

The incense was burned out, Zhang Shengyun sat on the ground dejectedly, looked at the messy words on the paper, and said:

"I ...... Can't figure it out. The landlord is a true immortal, and in the eyes of mortals in the lower districts, he really can't see the fate of the landlord. ”

"Can't you either?" Si Duxue smiled helplessly.

Zhang Shengyun was silent for a moment and said, "There is another way." ”

As he spoke, he took out a turtle shell. Burning the tortoise shell, and then divining the evil fortune according to the tortoise shell crack has been used in ancient times, but this is the method used by ancient witches, numerology has prospered over the years, and this inaccurate soil method has long been eliminated, if someone uses it, it will definitely be ridiculed as a liar.

But Zhang Shengyun felt that all the methods that have been handed down to this day are reasonable, and for divination for peerless people, you may have to use extraordinary means.

The shell of the turtle was scorched by the fire, and cracks were growing on the back.

Zhang Shengyun looked at the crack, his brows tightened slightly.

"What's wrong?" Si Duxue asked.

Zhang Shengyun's mouth had just opened, and the building suddenly began to shake.

Soon, he realized that there was an earthquake.

The lantern chain hanging on the Dexian Tower was broken, and the precious metal lamps were smashed down, smashing the turtle shell to pieces, if it weren't for He Yaoqin to save him, Zhang Shengyun would also be smashed on the head and bleeding.

Everyone left Dexian Tower.

The ground continued for a long time before it stopped.

After the ground moved, countless houses collapsed, and even mountains were torn out of faults.

"What's going on? Why are the ground movements becoming more and more frequent these days......" Si Duxue looked at the north where the ground movements came from and muttered to herself.

Zhang Shengyun thought back to the lamp that had just been smashed, and his heart palpitated.

Thankfully, he was stubborn.

"What did you see on that turtle shell just now?" Si Duxue asked.

"I ......"

Zhang Shengyun's brain ached for a while, and finally said, "I can't remember, does the goddess want to recalculate it?" ”

"No need."

Si Duxue doesn't have this spare time.

After the ground moved, the black clouds rolled, and there was a faint rainstorm coming, Si Duxue closed her eyes and sensed the heaven and earth, and after a while, she slowly opened her eyes and said to He Yaoqin: "Go, follow me to the East China Sea, where ...... Something seems to come out. ”

Si Duxue disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Shengyun fell to his knees, he gasped for breath, thinking about the pattern on the turtle shell, his heart trembled.

"If you read it wrong, you must have seen it wrong......" Zhang Shengyun kept saying.

What he just saw on the turtle shell was also a vicious omen of death and annihilation of yin and yang! The fate of this red-haired goddess is exactly the same as that of the faceless demon who was killed earlier!

Under the catastrophe of mortality, any warnings and reminders are meaningless.

Another wave of movement is coming.

The crowd, which had finally calmed down, let out another panicked scream.

Zhang Shengyun slowly straightened up.

That's it......

Mortals have the lives of mortals, and immortals have the lives of immortals, and they can't ask for it.

He has passed the catastrophe of his life, and next, he will return to the mountains and forests and enjoy his old age in peace.

……

On the shores of the East China Sea, torrential rain poured.

On the turbulent waves, black shadows appeared, they looked like dead fish, and when you looked closely, you found that these were black and white eyes.

The eyeballs were close to each other, like duckweed floating on the surface of the sea, they rose and fell in the sticky wind and waves, staring at the sea of clouds and thunder, and let out a sharp laugh like sharpening a knife.
