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

Divination is a popular thing among people in the world. Many people are confused or full of illusions about the future and the future, so they will find some people who claim to be able to measure the future of luck to make a fortune for themselves, so that they have a little grasp of the future and increase some confidence.

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 some predictions about the future luck and good luck, even if it is only a little touch of the Heavenly Machine, then this person can also be called the world's most amazing person!

Although it is said that the heavens are unpredictable, no one in the world can accurately 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 path have always been called the outer path by the cultivation world, and not only do they not get strong combat power when they practice this path, but they are also prone to heavenly punishment, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.

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

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, getting acquainted with strangers, 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 he looks like a master who knows how to deduce the heavens.

"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 refine it again, 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 Xichuan, and some fresh bamboo leaves were collected and reprocessed when Qingzhumen was free, and then they were put into Qiankun bags and brought with them. I don't know how long it will take to go to the experience, and I brought a few jars of bamboo wine just to let myself drink a few sips 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, just like an ordinary person, his body began to stagger, and he lost his appearance as a master.

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 rings, there are also a lot of mysterious rune stars engraved on it, 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 couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, old man, I'm a man of my word. Little brother, what do you want to count? Marriage or future?"

“...... 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?"

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

Li Xuanji curiously observed the old man shaking the turtle shell.

After a while, he noticed 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 the old palms. It doesn't move fast, but it's hard for your eyes to catch its image. He opened his eyes a little competitively to look closely, but found that the more closely he observed, the more difficult it was to catch the trajectory, and in the end he was left with a series of vague phantoms shaking in his eyes. Moreover, the crisp sound of the collision in the turtle shell also seems to produce a special kind of glamour sound, and the listener's mind is groggy.

Li Xuanji hurriedly looked his eyes away, and his consciousness immediately returned to his senses. The 'banging' sound also became common, as if what had just happened was a hallucination.

"Okay, I'll see how your trip went!"

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

Eight small white jade bones 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 poured it out 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, and the 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 grandma's, what's the chaos?!Don't show anything!"

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 spirit turtle divination has been used too much recently, and it is not bright." Little brother, don't worry, I'll pinch your fingers for you when the old man is waiting to ensure that it is more accurate. May I ask the little brother's surname, what is his birthday?"

“...... Old man, forget it. I don't really care about that......"

"Then how can you do it?" The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and he 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 ......."

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

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 and said: "No, old man, you don't need to divinate for me anymore, as the saying goes, there is nothing to be afraid of." Let's leave it at that. ”

Seeing that he didn't want to stay longer, the old man nodded, took out a red maple leaf from his bosom and handed it to him, saying, "Little brother, we are destined." I owe you a favor, old man. You put away this iron maple leaf, and if you need it in the future, you can take it to Tianji City to find me, just ask someone 'Old Man Lin'." ”

Li Xuanji took the maple leaf, touched it and found that there was 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 do you want to hear?"

"It's the "Collection of Famous Generals' Stories", the old book written in rune characters. I want to hear stories from ancient times. ”

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

The three chatted and walked away, gradually disappearing.

The old man looked at the three who were far away, and said to himself: "How many masters and heroes have tried their best to please me, just asking for a hexagram, I don't bother to count." Today, the old man, I am in a good mood, and I tell people fortunes for free, but this kid still doesn't want it? This kid can't really think of me as a liar who eats and drinks together, right? Pity my old man's reputation for a lifetime, and today it has been ruined here!"

After he finished speaking, he took out the turtle shell in his arms, checked it over and over again, and wondered: "Strange, obviously there is no problem, why can't I use it after three calculations." ”

He loaded the turtle shell with eight white jade bones, shook it again, and then fell against the stone platform, and the eight bones quickly rolled out in a strange pattern.

"Heaven is on it, the earth is divided into its bottom, born on the left, three points and four centimeters, the wood master is born, the moment of the sea, the mountain is open and the water stops, and the soul is lost...... 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!"

In the snow not far ahead, a snow hare suddenly burst out of its hole and ran towards the forest, only to crash into a thick tree trunk and die instantly.

The old man frowned, and became even more puzzled: "That's right, this turtle shell has always been good, why can't you use it three times before?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, so the old man shook his head impatiently and said, "Whatever! Anyway, that kid doesn't believe in my hexagram, it's still a ball." Let's get some sleep first, and then enjoy life when you're full of food and drink!"

After the old man finished speaking, he yawned, let Bailu lie on the ground, and fell asleep against Bailu......

By the time he woke up, it was already evening.

The old man felt a little thirsty, touched the wine jar beside him, opened it and poured a sip of wine, and nagged: "Don't say it, this wine is really the same as the old man's appetite." What a strange boy, who is so pure in cultivation at a young age. The character is also good, and he is so generous to the strangers he meets halfway, and he also knows how to respect the elderly. Especially this peach blossom luck is so good, there is such a beautiful little girl who can sit still in her arms! and tell stories, but she is quite good at coaxing girls to be happy. ”

"What kind of book is this? Or is it an old book written in rune characters? It's a strange thing. The old man raised his hand and poured the jar into his mouth, and took two more sips.

"Poof-" Suddenly, the old man squirted out all the wine in his mouth in one gulp, and exclaimed: "The Story of Famous Generals? The rune font can't be that book, right? His grandmother's, how did I forget that this book has long been changed to this strange broken name! Could it be that the kid just now was the boy of the Li family who was lost back then? How could he be called Li Xuanji? It wasn't the name back then." ”

"No wonder he can't figure out anything for divination, his grandmother has a heavenly seal on her body, and she has already been blinded by heaven. How could I not have thought of that? Back then, I couldn't find him after all the manpower I tried to find him, but today I sat opposite each other and drank together, and I didn't even recognize him! His grandmother's, I'm really confused. ”

The old man hurriedly stood up and shouted at Bailu, "Xianzhi, Xianzhi! hurry up, let's go after that kid." If I lose him again, I won't have the face to go back, old man. If the Lin boy in the family knows that I lost his son-in-law, he can't worry about me. No, no, no! Before we get Li Xiaozi back, we must not tell him about this, and we must keep it secret and keep our mouths shut! Xianzhi, have you heard it? Don't tell him about today's events!"

The old man turned over and rode on the white deer, nagging while chasing in the direction where the footprints disappeared......
