Anecdotes of the rivers and lakes The third chapter of the stars and the universe
In the bustling streets, where people come and go, there is a fortune-telling shop opened by a young woman with long pink hair and a scarf covering her face.
This fate-taking woman is the Beidou Ziwei of Xingdou Qiankun, but now she has already left the sect for six years, she was born with a magical talent to foresee the future scene, even if she does not use astrology, she can predict the direction of fate, and she is a good seedling that is rare to see in a hundred years of Xingdou Qiankun, but on the day of the Tiangang catastrophe six years ago, Xingdou Qiankun fell into the trap of Tianji Xing because of his trust in her, resulting in almost all the annihilation, and her ability did not solve problems for Xingdou Qiankun and even pulled into the land of no return, and it was really difficult to disobey the destiny of heaven.
What is Destiny? It is the current of the great world, and under this, human beings are as small as the sand on the land, the droplets of water in the sea, and the stardust in the night sky, and can only go with the tide rather than against the current, and only a few Chosen by the Mandate of Heaven have strong enough power to influence the direction of the Destiny of the human race as a whole.
Beidou Ziwei didn't know what the pictures that often flashed in his mind were when he was a child, and it wasn't until he became sensible that he gradually realized that the things he experienced around him seemed to have been foreseen, and he had another ability in addition to occasionally perceiving the destiny of heaven, that is, when he touched the palm of the other person's hand with his fingers, he could accurately foresee the person's short future.
The young Beidou Ziwei helps the people in the village through his own ability, so that they can avoid disasters and live safely, at first everyone did not believe the nonsense that the little girl said, but after Ziwei's words were realized one by one, they had to believe that the neighbor Xiaowa was a person with magical powers, and after learning from Ziwei's mouth that the misfortune was about to be faced, people intended to avoid or find ways to solve the problem, although not all problems could be solved, but at least people predicted their fate in advance and reduced their suffering.
However, gradually some people in the village had crooked ideas, they took Ziwei to the town or city to participate in the gambling game, and with the help of Ziwei's prediction ability, they knew the outcome of the bet in advance, and naturally made a lot of windfalls.
All the seemingly beautiful development but one day ushered in a backlash, the villagers who made a fortune by gambling were suspected by the local casino owner of having a thousand means, and secretly sent people to kill these villagers, and the retribution is more than that, Ziwei's village was sacked by bandits, and the small village became a river of blood, at that time, Ziwei often went out to do a small fortune-telling business for people in order to help make up for the family, and when she returned to the village, she was frightened by the tragic scene in front of her.
Why can't I avoid this tragedy when I have the ability to predict the future?! Why! Why!!!
Ziwei, who lost her soul, finally couldn't stay hungry after three days and was forced to start foraging, she is still engaged in fortune-telling work, after all, she only has this talent, she has nothing, she lives like a walking corpse every day, barely filling her stomach to live, she does not think about the tragedy of the people in the village is related to her own ability, the only thing that can blame herself is her own limited ability, she can't be omniscient and omnipotent, too much fortune-telling for others will naturally ignore the prediction of her own future, and now the tragedy has happened. I don't have any ability to save everything, so I can only live in a mess of self-blame.
But such days are not long, one day Ziwei kindly helped a girl of the same age to find her lost cat, I didn't expect her to be the daughter of a local official, Ziwei's predictability was appreciated by the officials, and when she saw her lonely and miserable life, she took it home as a maid of the young lady, and the young lady did not treat Ziwei as a person, Ziwei began to get rid of the haze and live a happy life.
However, the same process happened again, at first he only had a joking attitude towards Ziwei's foreknowledge officials, but gradually he found that this little girl did have extraordinary powers, with Ziwei's special life for him in just a few years, he could always know in advance which places there were disasters, where there were bandits to crusade and make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and he could also know in advance which bosses would fail in the power struggle and choose the right forces to take refuge, and his career was smooth sailing and unstoppable.
For the original weak power, lack of connections and money of the small officials can be so soaring naturally become a thorn in the side of some dignitaries, in the end the family was still tragically destroyed by the assassins, for the new people who have little time in the officialdom naturally lack of precautions against this invisible dirty thing, that night Ziwei was so frightened that she hid under the bed, the footsteps from outside the room, the noise, the sorrowful sound was so harsh and uncomfortable, in the early morning when the house returned to calm, she carefully walked out of the door, a family of five was not spared, The entire compound was empty except for the corpses, and she was back to nothing and alone.
At that time, Ziwei was sixteen years old, and she began to realize that all this was not unrelated to her, and spent two years verifying her conjecture, and finally discovered the truth of "irreversible fate".
If the mandate of heaven is the long river of history, then each person also has his own stream of life, and it is the countless streams that make up a part of the long river, and for individuals, their lives are divided into big and small lives.
What is a small life? The results of trivial choices in daily life that do not affect the number of lives, such as going out in white or black today, going out a quarter of an hour early or a quarter of an hour late, and today's work is done happily or hard...... Although the result is different, it has no effect on a person's fate, and it is also a trivial thing that is easy to forget.
And the great life directly affects what a person can accomplish in his life, the life he can live, and the people he can befriend...... It is embodied in a person's income in society, his position in society, the power he has in society, and who his parents are, who his lifelong companions are, who his descendants are, etc., and what people from different classes can accomplish, the impact they can have on the world, and even the changes they can make to the long river of history are completely different.
Under normal circumstances, no one can disobey their fate, but through Ziwei's ability to predict, some people try to change their lives against the sky and obtain the wealth and status they should not have, and finally violate the mandate of heaven and are punished by heaven.
Ziwei realized that the death of her parents and fellow villagers had a lot to do with herself, and she was punished for leaking too much of the heavenly opportunity, if she didn't have her own help, although their life could not be called wishful, but at least she would not end up dying unexpectedly, Ziwei regretted it, and since then she has added a silent confinement to herself, and every word is written with a pen, at least there are two chances to regret it when speaking from writing to displaying the process, Ziwei has been careful to tell fortunes for others for fear of disaster again, Only change the small life, not the big life, and do your best to benefit others.
A few years later, Xingdou Qiankun noticed her talent and brought her into the door to step into the path of cultivating immortals, giving her a third life.
The work of the stars is to astrology to predict the destiny of heaven, to resist the invasion of the stars and monsters to defend the world, here Ziwei has found a new path, she finally no longer has to deliberately suppress her potential, and devote herself to this work...... It's a pity that tragedy still happened on the day of the Tiangang catastrophe.
Sometimes Ziwei is thinking, since the destiny of heaven is irreversible, and the invasion of the last Star Demonic Beast is doomed to fail, can she avoid this catastrophe without her own Star Dou Qiankun?
This deep sense of self-reproach forced her to leave and return to her old job, but now she no longer had to worry about money, and a penny was only a symbolic payment.
Beidou Ziwei sat quietly on the chair, she didn't care whether her business was lively, it was a kind of fate to meet a fortune teller who was looking for herself, today a family of three came to thank you, because more than two years ago, a couple inadvertently asked for their fortune telling that they were about to have a flood, they didn't care at the time, until they heard the news that the star monster was close to the Yushuiling Dam and recalled this prediction, although they lost their family business but saved the lives of the whole family, it took two years to rebuild their homes, This time, I am here to thank you for your kindness.
In fact, the location of Beidou Ziwei's fortune-telling stall is not fixed, and she often "moves" around to avoid the crowd that troubles her, but she has predicted that this family will come here today to find her, and deliberately returned to this city, this street, and this corner to wait for the arrival of the other party.
After saying goodbye to the family, Beidou Ziwei continued to sit here, today is estimated to be here for a day, not long after another female guest came, I saw that she was dressed strangely, and the clothes she was wearing were similar to the Beidou Ziwei's Star Witch Skirt but the color was dark blue, a penny of copper coins was thrown on the table at will, and the left hand crossed the waist and the palm of the right hand stretched out in front of him, and shouted contemptuously: "Hey, fortune teller, show me how the fortune is." ”
Beidou Ziwei glanced up at the female guest, and directly picked up the brush and wrote the word "big murderer" on the note.
The girl was so angry that she snatched the note and tore it up, and said angrily: "You stinky girl dare to curse me?!" You didn't even count! ”
Beidou Ziwei took out a new note and wrote "Don't do your business".
Woman in Blue: "What, you still learned to pick guests?" Or do you say that you don't even know your senior sister after two years of leaving? ”
The woman in front of her is named Beidou Wenhua, a talented woman with awe-inspiring talent in Star Dou, of course, all this was before Ziwei joined.
Beidou Ziwei lowered his head and slowly wrote the word "know" on the note.
Beidou Wenhua: "Go back, I've repented enough of all my sins in the past two years, what's the point of wasting my time here as a little fortune teller?" Or are you afraid of losing to me so you don't dare to go back? Without you, even though I am once again the best Star Witch in Star Dou Qiankun, the lack of a competitor always makes me feel invincible, how lonely it is......"
However, before the words were finished, Beidou Ziwei had already written "don't" on the note.
Beidou Wenhua angrily slapped his hands on the table and shouted, "Why?!" What is there to be nostalgic for such a life? ”
This shouting alarmed the surroundings, Beidou Ziwei began to pack up his things and prepare to leave, and before leaving, he made an exception and said: "It is a pleasure to be able to help others, no matter where you are." ”
Beidou Wenhua didn't intend to let her go, but just as he reached out to grab her shoulder, he found that she actually used the shapeshifting charm she had prepared to teleport herself away along with the table and chair, and in the end, Beidou Wenhua's hand could only grasp a stone.
"I won't give up, Ziwei, I must take you back!"
