Regarding such things as divination, Li Xuanji has never been noncommittal.

Divination is a popular thing among people in the world. Many people are full of confusion or fantasy about the future, so they will find some people who claim to be able to measure the future of luck to test for themselves, so that they can have a little confidence in the future.

However, for those who practice hexagrams, divination should be taken seriously.

Heaven is unpredictable! This is the consensus of all practitioners. If someone is really able to predict good fortune and evil fortune and deduce their future fate, then wouldn't they be able to avoid evil all their lives and be smooth sailing?

Most of the people in the world who claim to be able to measure luck and the future are just swaggering liars, if someone can really make a little prediction about the future luck and good luck, and touch some of the heavenly avenues a little, then this person can be called the world's top strange person!

Although it is said that the heavens are unpredictable, no one in the world can predict the heavens. However, there are indeed people who practice the way of deduction and figure out the heavenly secrets, and there are a lot of records in the classics that Li Xuanji has read. It's just that those who practice this kind of great way have always been called the outer path, and not only do they not get strong combat power, but they are also prone to heavenly punishment, and there is a feeling that the gains outweigh the losses.

Li Xuanji looked at the old man in front of him, not knowing how to answer.

Although the old man looks ordinary, the person who can dare to break into the Xichuan Snow Field at this time must not be a mortal. The tall white deer Xianzhi accompanying him knew at a glance that it was a powerful spirit beast. Even the old man's own appearance is very good, with a fluttering white beard, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones. If it is seen by some high-ranking officials and nobles, they will really regard such an elegant old man as a strange person in the world!

But Li Xuanji knows that most of the real people in this way look down on the fame and fortune in the world, they are incognito, not into the ordinary, and it is impossible to easily tell fortunes to others. Because if you have too much contact with the Heavenly Machine Dao, it is easier to attract heavenly punishment, or even lose your life, which is quite a heavy price.

And like the old man, riding a white deer running around, and strangers are self-acquainted, not only greedy for tongue desires, but also like to drink, as soon as he comes up, he will tell fortunes to people, no matter how you look like a born master who knows how to deduce the fate of heaven.

"Little brother, do you bring any wine? Otherwise, this snowcock will be finished. Seeing that he was silent, the old man urged.

"Oh, I have, old man, wait a minute. Li Xuanji fumbled through the Qiankun bag, took out a wine jar and respectfully put it in front of the old man.

"Yo, it's still a Qiankun bag. The little brother's teacher is really rich. ”

When the old man saw his movements, his eyes lit up, and then he shifted his gaze to the wine jar, stretched out his hand to open the seal of the wine jar, put it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately smiled, and commented: "Well, the wine is an ordinary wine, but a lot of fresh green bamboo is added to re-refining, and the fragrance of this bamboo leaf with the taste of this snow chicken is still quite good." ”

Li Xuanji smiled and did not speak.

These wines are ordinary drinks bought from outside, and some fresh bamboo leaves were collected and reprocessed when Qingzhumen was free, and then put into Qiankun bags. I don't know how long it will take to go to the experience, so I took a few jars of bamboo wine and walked away just to give myself a taste when I miss Qingzhumen.

The old man ate it with wine and roast snow chicken, but he solved a whole fat snow chicken by himself, and the angry Jin Ling pursed his mouth but dared not speak angrily.

After three rounds of drinking, the old man was already drunk, and his body began to stagger like an ordinary person. He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then swayed and pulled out a palm-sized turtle shell from his arms.

The turtle shell is very delicate, the color is tender yellow like a topaz carving, although the size is not big, the shell is extremely thick, and the surface has a thick pulp, indicating that it has been held in the hands for a long time. The turtle shell has dense growth rings on it, indicating that the small turtle shell was actually left by an old turtle who has lived for an unknown number of years. In addition to the annual ring line, it is also engraved with a lot of mysterious rune stars, I don't know what it means.

"Old man, do you really want divination?" Seeing that the old man really took out a turtle shell, which seemed to be a treasure, Li Xuanji asked a little uncertainly.

"Of course, old man, I'm a man of my word. Little brother, what do you want to count?, marriage or future?" the old man asked, turning his head.

“...... Well, let's count it as the good luck of this trip. Li Xuanji replied uncertainly, and then asked suspiciously: "Old man, don't you need to ask my name or birth date for divination?"

The old man shook his head proudly, "Those who ask for names and birthdays are pediatrics, how can I play such a low-end game like an old man?"

The old man closed his eyes after speaking, his face became serious, and his hands covered the two orifices of the turtle shell and began to sway. There was a crisp crashing sound from inside the topaz-like turtle shell, as if crystal dice were rolling inside.

Li Xuanji watched curiously as the old man shook the turtle shell. After a while, it was discovered that although the old man's shaking arms were a little weak, there seemed to be some kind of special rhythm between the shaking of a pair of old palms, and the speed of shaking was not fast, but it was difficult for his eyes to see it clearly. His eyes widened a little competitively, but he found that the more closely he observed, the more difficult it was to catch the trajectory, and in the end there was only a series of vague phantoms shaking in front of his eyes. Even the crisp sound of the turtle shell colliding produces a special bewildering power, and the mind of the listener is groggy.

Li Xuanji hurriedly turned his eyes away, his consciousness immediately returned to his clarity, and the voice in his ears became ordinary again, as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, let's see how your trip went!"

The old man stopped what he was doing, and then poured the opening of the turtle shell against a platform on a stone.

Eight bones as small as white jade rolled out of the turtle shell. As soon as the eight bones collided with the stone, they scattered in all directions, and one of them even jumped directly into the snow and disappeared.

Li Xuanji looked at the scattered bones in amazement, not knowing what it meant.

“...... Well, again, I'll make a little bit of effort. ”

The old man embarrassedly took out the scattered bones from the snow, put the eight white jade bones back into the turtle shell, and shook them again. But when he fell on the stone platform again, three of the eight bones simply fell!

Li Xuanji: "......"

The old man's face was slightly red, and he didn't say anything, picked up all eight bones, put them back into the turtle shell, and began to shake them again. This time, he carefully poured the turtle shell lightly on the stone platform. Eight small bones rolled out neatly. This time, none of them fell on the snow.

Li Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, but the old man frowned.

"Your grandmother's, what's the chaos?!

Li Xuanji: "......"

The old man's face was flushed by Li Xuanji's gaze, and he embarrassedly put away the turtle shell and bones, waved his hand at Li Xuanji, and said, "It may be that the turtle shell divination has been used too much recently, and it is not very good." Little brother, don't worry, I'll pinch your fingers for you, old man. May I ask the little brother's surname, what is his birthday?"

“...... Forget it, old man. I don't really care about that......"

"Then how can you do it?" The old man suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Old man, I said that I would make a divination for you to repay your hospitality to me, how can I not count if I speak? Please also tell me my name and birthday, old man, I will definitely not fail this time." ”

"That'...... All right. Li Xuanji said helplessly: "My name is Li Xuanji, and I was born in ......."

At this moment, a bear roar sounded, and Xue Mang had returned from foraging elsewhere.

Li Xuanji looked at Xue Mang, who had already eaten and drunk, turned around and raised his hand to the old man and saluted: "Old man, my partner has returned, and I am ready to go on the road, so I can't accompany you anymore." Let's leave it at that! There's also a jar of wine here that is considered a tribute to you by the younger generation. ”

He took out a jar of wine from the Qiankun bag and handed it to the old man, and then beckoned Jin Ling and Xue Mang to prepare for the road.

"Hey, hey, don't go, little brother, old man, I can really help you calculate the good fortune and misfortune of your trip. Wait a little longer!" the old man said with some urgency.

Li Xuanji smiled and waved his hand: "No, old man, don't do divination for me anymore, I believe that Ji people have their own natural appearance." Let's leave it at that. ”

Seeing that he didn't want to stay any longer, the old man nodded, took out a red maple leaf from his arms and lowered it to his hand, and said, "Little brother, we are destined." I owe you a favor, old man. You put away this piece of iron maple leaves, and if you need anything in the future, you can come to Tianji City to find me, just ask someone where 'Old Man Lin' lives." ”

Li Xuanji took the maple leaf, touched it and said nothing extraordinary, so he casually put it into the Qiankun bag and said goodbye to the old man again.

"Jin Ling, Xue Mang, let's go! It's time to hit the road. Li Xuanji greeted the two.

Jin Ling jumped on Xue Mang's back, hugged Li Xuanji's waist, and said, "Childe, I want to hear you tell a story." ”

"What story would you like to hear?"

"It's the "Collection of Famous Generals' Stories", the old book written in rune characters. I want to know the stories of antiquity. ”

"Oh, okay. Anyway, it's boring, I'll read it to everyone......"

The three of them chatted and walked away, and began a new trek.

The old man looked at the three who were far away, took out the turtle shell in his arms suspiciously, and checked it over and over again.

"It's strange, it's obviously no problem, why can't I use it after three calculations. ”

He picked up the turtle shell and put eight white jade bones on it, shook it again, and then fell down against the stone platform, and the eight bones quickly rolled out in a strange pattern.

"Heaven is on it, the earth is divided into the bottom, the birth is three points and four centimeters on the left, and the wood master is born at the moment, and the mountain boils and the water stops...... It can be a wait-and-stay rabbit. The old man pinched his fingers while bowing his head, then looked at the snowy forest in front of him, and counted lightly: "One, two, three!"

"Bang!"

A snow hare suddenly sprang out of the forest in the snow not far ahead, and by chance it crashed into a thick tree trunk, killing instantly.

"That's right, this turtle shell has always been good, why can't you use it three times before?" the old man frowned and said to himself. Then he shook his head impatiently, "Whatever." Anyway, that kid doesn't believe in my hexagram, it's still a ball. ”
