Su Shi involuntarily rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile: "The old gentleman has such mental strength, I am not surprised to live to be a hundred years old." ”

Bae Hyun's gaze crossed over to Su Shi and looked at the sky in the distance.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining.

When he retracted his gaze again, he said slowly to Su Shi, "There is not much time left for you. ”

Su Shi was stunned, smiled again, and said: "Although I don't expect to live to be a hundred years old, it should be no problem to live to be sixty or seventy years old, time is already a lot for me." ”

Bae Hyun said quietly: "I remember you told a story. ”

Su Shi's eyes rolled, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember what story he told, and couldn't help asking, "What story?" ”

"The story of a Taoist priest who told his fortune and approved his fortune, and finally had to commit suicide."

Su Shi smiled: "That's just my nonsense, I can't take it seriously." ”

Pei Hyun said slowly: "I am the Taoist priest. ”

Su Shi's smile froze on his face suddenly, and it took a while before he could barely squeeze out a smile.

"What do you mean by that, old gentleman?"

Pei Hyun said indifferently: "I also made a hexagram for myself and told my fortune, and the hexagram showed that my fate ended at noon today." It's midday, and it's not even an hour before noon, so I'm saying there's not much time left for you. ”

Su Shi said: "It turns out that the old gentleman is still a cultivator. ”

"I was a monk for five years, and then I was a Taoist priest for another three years." Pei Hyun said: "I originally wanted to avoid the cause and effect of Hongchen, but in the end, I was still in the world, and it was difficult to escape the cycle of cause and effect. ”

Su Shi said directly: "I don't understand." Although I can hear every word of you clearly, I don't understand a single word of the connected words. ”

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that we only have an hour to get along. So you don't have to delay any longer, because by the time they find me, I'll be dead. ”

Su Shi saw that his scheming was seen through by Pei Hyun, and he stopped going around in circles, and immediately asked, "Is Cui Peng's death an accident?" ”

Pei Hyun was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Su Shi's first question was actually to ask Cui Peng's death.

"Why do you ask this question?"

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Because I haven't been able to figure out this problem, if Cui Peng's death is deliberately arranged, with the wisdom of the old gentleman, it will not reveal so many flaws." But if it's an accident, it's too much of a coincidence. I wonder if the old gentleman can help me solve my doubts? ”

Pei Hyun was silent for a while and said, "Cui Peng's death can be regarded as an accident. ”

"Can it be counted?" Su Shi shook his head, not satisfied with this explanation, and said: "The monks don't speak, and the old gentleman shouldn't be vague when he speaks. ”

Pei Hyun sighed: "Although I had no intention of killing Cui Peng, he did die under my words." ”

"What's that?"

"Three days ago, Du Ziqi came here to talk to me, and when I left, I suddenly said that he seemed to have not seen Cui Peng for a long time."

Speaking of this, Pei Xun's eyes showed a rare trace of awe, and then continued: "Du Ziqi only appeared in Pingning Fang because he remembered this sentence. ”

"What about Zhao Liang? Why is he there? ”

Pei Xun said: "Zhao Liang has been soliciting customers in Pingning Fang for a long time. ”

Su Shi still didn't believe it: "So all this is really just a coincidence?" ”

Pei Hyun shook his head and said, "All this is not a coincidence, but providence. ”

Su Shi didn't understand again: "Providence? ”

Pei Xun said: "When I learned that Du Ziqi led the thunder to kill Bai Jingchao, you once said a word, do you still remember?" ”

Su Shi naturally remembered very clearly, he said at that time that Du Ziqi could only succeed because of luck, because the plan to guide mines may not succeed once if it is implemented 10,000 times, after all, there are too many variables in it, so many that manpower cannot predict and control it at all.

"But do you know, when I thought of a way, I knew that Bai Jingchao would definitely die, and there would never be any accidents."

Su Shi naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it directly, but asked politely: "Why?" ”

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, just because Bai Jingchao deserves to die, so as long as the plan is planned, he will definitely die, and everything will be stopped."

Su Shi finally understood what he meant: "This is what you call the will of heaven?" ”

Pei Hyun said: "This is the will of heaven." ”

Su Shi suddenly smiled, because he really wanted to laugh, and he really couldn't accept such a ridiculous speech.

After laughing, he shook his head and sighed: "I do believe in the saying that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, but if you say that you can punish on behalf of heaven, I absolutely don't believe it." ”

Regarding Su Shi's questioning, Pei Hyun's expression did not change, but said lightly: "Have you ever thought about one thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Why did this chance kill Bai Jingchao?"

Su Shi was about to open his mouth to answer, but he was suddenly stunned, and then his expression gradually became solemn.

He originally said that it was just a coincidence, but he thought about it, is this kind of coincidence a providence?

Is it really just a coincidence that a damn person encounters a plan with a success rate of only 1 in 10,000, but this damn person dies under this plan with a success rate of only 1 in 10,000?

At this time, he heard Pei Hyun say again: "Such a coincidence, Du Ziqi has done four more times. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Hyun looked directly at Su Shi and said, "You should know that it is impossible to create a perfect accident, because every detail cannot be perfect, and the mistakes of every detail are superimposed enough to ruin this plan." ”

"So what?"

"Do you know that Bai Jingchao has never had the habit of taking a nap."

Su Shi suddenly felt his breathing become rapid, he took a deep breath, and then asked, "In that case, why did he take a nap that day?" ”

"Because he drank too much at noon. Bai Jingchao never drank at noon, but that day the eldest prince suddenly came to Baifu, and he was very interested, because Bai Jingchao had just offered him a million silver, so the eldest prince came to Baifu on a whim. ”

Su Shi groaned: "It is precisely because Bai Jingchao drank too much that he took a nap, and it was precisely because of the whim of the eldest prince that Bai Jingchao was struck by lightning and died." ”

Pei Hyun said lightly: "Then do you know what the appearance of the eldest prince means?" ”

Although Su Shi knew what Pei Hyun wanted to say, he still shook his head resolutely, because he would never believe such a ridiculous thing.

Pei Hyun smiled and said: "Although you have always tried your best to deny it, you have to agree in your heart that the appearance of the eldest prince is the arrangement of heaven's will." ”

Su Shi closed his mouth.

Bae Hyun glanced at it and continued: "There is another reason why I believe that this is a providential arrangement. ”

"What is the reason?"

"In addition to Bai Jingchao, Du Ziqi also killed four people, and in the process of implementing these four plans, there will always be emergencies, and there are many mistakes."

Bae Hyun finally said: "So even if there is a sudden situation, there are problems in the implementation of the plan, but there is always the will of God to solve these things and make those people deserve it." ”
