Chapter Twenty-Three: Speculation on Rewards (I wish you a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival)
Auspicious sign? Li He glanced at his surroundings and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Before, he thought that if he extinguished the bad omen and took care of the bitter tea cultivation in the mountains, after a period of time, he would harvest a bitter tea plant, but now it seems that it is simply a fantasy.
However, the catalogue reveals an omen that the conditions have been met at this moment, so where will auspiciousness come from?
The birth of auspicious rui requires specific conditions, most of which are extremely abundant vegetation of the same attributes, fertile land, and the birth of a king in the constant competition. But judging from the current bitter tea land, it is basically not satisfied, and there are almost no other crops except bitter tea in the ridge land, and it is even more impossible to give birth to new auspiciousness.
Li He has now also somewhat figured out the rules of the so-called reward in the catalogue, which is not a definite and actual reward. Rather, it is a trend of planning and orientation according to fate.
It's like a fortune teller, guiding the lost lamb. Maybe this thing could have happened, but after telling you clearly, it increased the probability of success, and if there is a positive plan, it can basically turn the accidental into inevitable.
But from another point of view, if Li He doesn't care about it, or even takes the initiative to avoid it, the gift of fate will flow away from his fingertips, and no matter how much luck he has, it will turn into bad luck.
In the dark, the catalogue seems to reveal a certain law and truth, God does not take it, but suffers from it, and people who can't grasp the opportunity will slowly lose this favor.
Therefore, Li He thought carefully and wanted to grasp some clues, but he really didn't have a clue. Looking at the destroyed land and the polluted spiritual spring, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"Could it have something to do with the bad omen?"
He couldn't help but think of the connection between auspiciousness and bad omen that he had figured out before, and there might be some mystery in it.
No matter how high the expectations are, you can only calm down at this moment. After all, I have just experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and my physical and mental strength has reached the limit, so I have to rest first.
Li He glanced at Zhong Min and commanded.
"Keep the Soul Fountain and the surrounding land, and if there is any abnormality, report it to me in time!"
Zhong Min leaned over and said yes.
Then he walked to the palace with the help of Liu Ruhua, barely holding his body down.
Liu Wu watched his daughter intimately supporting the lord of the mansion, and his heart was mixed for a while, as if he had lost something.
Zhong Min next to him seemed to see Old Man Liu's apprehension, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, jokingly.
"Oh, such a beautiful girl, what a blessing. I've never seen the lord of the mansion fall in love with another woman, and this is the first time.
If I go one step further in the future, I will rely on you to grow old! ”
After hearing this, Zhong Min smiled bitterly.
"Don't make fun of me, don't you see the picturesque state? Obviously beautiful doesn't look like a person, if she wasn't still wearing a jade bracelet, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized it.
I don't know if the effects of the bad omen will subside in a few days, just ask her to be safe. ”
The bitter words made people sigh, Zhong Min understood his concern, but said meaningfully.
"Bad omen is a curse, and we ordinary people are like fragile branches that need a thick trunk to shelter us. Otherwise, when the storm hits, it can only be destroyed and the branches will wither.
You said that Picturesque has a deep contact with the bad omen, but only in this way can she be considered the same kind of rough wood, and even have the opportunity to stand aside and follow left and right.
There is never such an opportunity for people like us. ”
Zhong Min looked at the government judge on the side, and was slightly surprised in his heart, it was already unexpected to meet a mansion master with superb Taoism in Kuchaling, but at this moment, it seems that it is probably Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
He couldn't help but become much more respectful and asked.
"Lord of the Mansion, he ......"
The second half of the sentence was not spoken, a little disrespectful, it stands to reason that this desperate situation should be judged, but looking at the dark and emotionless eyes, he always felt a little uneasy.
Zhong Min knew his unspeakable secret, but at this moment he replied firmly.
"I was just as uneasy as you was, even terrified, worried about whether we were a tool or a joke.
But one day, I went with the lord of the mansion to investigate Linquantun, and his eyes on Qiao Bald, his comforting words, and his actions afterwards, I have never seen them in Kuchaling for so many years. How to describe it, it is to treat you as a human being, not an animal!
On this point, I am willing to lead everyone and work with the lord of the mansion to the end. ”
Liu Wu was silent for a long time, falling into silence, but a trace of anticipation ignited in his heart.
……
People came and went, and the noise began.
The long streets are full of hawkers, hoarse and bustling.
In a dark alley, there is a teahouse, and the shopkeeper sits at the counter, smiling and greeting customers, but the people around him do not notice him at all, and still shuttle by.
Suddenly, a black figure with a hat floated in, and looked coldly at the store, where two people were already sitting on a bench in the depths of the darkness, waiting for the visitor.
He took two steps, and the hat floated to the table, and the dark shadow disappeared, but a voice came out.
"How are the major families arranged?"
The man inside the table spoke.
"Don't worry, the key pieces are ready, just wait for the catastrophe to come."
Dou Kasa continued.
"Be careful, don't let people grab the handle."
The man snorted coldly and replied.
"Handle? What a handle. It wasn't for us to do it, Li Zhen suffered a bad omen, and all of them died. If you can't do it yourself, you have to blame others? ”
At this moment, the man who did not speak came out with a voice like a night owl.
"The strife paper nightmare is not easy to get along, it has come here, and it may be looking for something. Even if there is a streamer auspicious, it can guide one or two, but it is not careless. ”
"Besides, if the matter is exposed, don't leave a trace, only a bad omen!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The two nodded one after another, not daring to refute in the slightest, it seemed that this person had a high status.
"What's going on lately?"
Dou Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly mentioned.
"There was largely no movement, business as usual. It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the paper figures, and for a while, the possessed people of the Zhen family and the Li family collectively had problems, crazy, as if they had lost their souls.
After waiting for the past day, it was restored to its original state, and it was almost discovered by the Li Town Inspection Division. ”
The strange voice suddenly asked.
"Did you make a move?"
Dou Lisa shuddered and replied quickly.
"Naturally, the subordinates did not act rashly, it was all a bad omen."
There was a moment of silence before the leader spoke.
"It's right not to make a move, in this case, it must be a backlash of consciousness, and I'm afraid there is a problem with the puzzle under the dispute."
"According to common sense, even if some of its sources are lost, it won't affect it too much. After all, the strife paper nightmare is already a bad omen of the seventh grade, and the source of death is strong. Unless the cause and effect are severed, it will be so confused. ”
"But the characters who can break ground on Tai Sui's head, why bother to be incognito and only make small moves?"
The two subordinates were silent and couldn't answer, after all, such means were really unimaginable.
"Anyway, the bad omen is coming, and it is already full of trouble, so let's just wait and see what happens. It is Li Zhen and Shanhe County that are in trouble, but not us. ”
With that, a burst of black mist shrouded the teahouse.
I happened to pass by and caught a glimpse of a small paper house on the ground, burning violently and full of gloom.
