Seeing that the bald old man had recognized himself without looking back, Xie Yixiang was not surprised, and said with a smile: "I've always been very curious, isn't it because you've never made a mistake?"

The bald old man seemed to smile and slowly turned his head. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it was a wrinkled face, each as deep as a knife, the loose dry skin of the face squeezed the facial features into blurred, the whole face was like a pinched orange with water, it was impossible to imagine how old he was. I only heard him say with a little bitterness: "The third lady is really spiritual, just this casual question, it broke the old man's lifelong knot. ”

Xie Yixiang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "How do you say this?"

The bald old man raised his head, turned out a pair of white eyes and looked at the red glow in the sky, and saw the last trace of the sun falling, before he muttered: "The old man is thinking about one thing all the time, that is, the so-called 'fate', can it be changed?" But if fate cannot be changed, if the old man knows that a catastrophe is coming, then no matter what he does, it will be useless, and he is powerless to stop it, so he can only wait for the catastrophe to come, wouldn't it be even more tragic and ridiculous?"

Xie Yixiang thought for a while, then laughed, and said: "Since it is something that even you can't understand, even if the little woman spends her life, most of it will be in vain, so it's better not to want to." As she spoke, she sat down on the wooden chair opposite the old man, and said a little mischievously: "Since you can pinch and calculate, you should naturally know my intention today." ”

The bald old man ignored her, and continued to himself: "The old man has received half of the true inheritance of the family teacher, so he can see the future. Since his debut, in the time of Yijiazi, everything in the future must be right and accurate, doesn't this just prove that this fate is predestined, and manpower cannot change it after all?"

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and I saw that the bald old man was still looking up at the sky, as if he was understanding some mystery. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said angrily: "Don't be pretentious, the little woman has something important to do, next time I come to chat with you, you will take a hexagram for me." A few days ago, a batch of aged Pu'er from the torture room just arrived, and today I came in a hurry, and I will bring it to you another day. ”

The bald old man seemed to have finally come back to his senses, then he looked at Xie Yixiang, shook his head and said, "The third young lady actually came to ask God for a hexagram, which shows that it has reached the point of exhaustion." However, compared to the chaos in the world not long after, the world turned into purgatory, and the blood became an ocean, what is a mere face-tearing demon at this moment?"

As soon as Xie Yixiang heard the words "face-ripping demon", she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it is for the sake of the vicious face-ripping demon in the capital now, I have vowed to arrest him." You'll help me figure out how I'm going to get him. ”

The bald old man didn't think about it, and said casually: "Hunt beasts in the abyss, and seek fish in the sky." Everyone in the world is guilty, and there is no guilt or injustice. ”

Xie Yixiang silently recited it several times in her heart, and couldn't help but change her face slightly. The first two sentences of the bald old man are easy to understand, and they clearly say that he is begging for fish because of wood, and he can't catch the face-tearing demon with a bamboo basket.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "Even if you are clever and like a god, but you didn't say it yet, even you don't know if your fate can be changed, so you are afraid that you can't do these few words." She stretched out her hand and clasped the chaos on her waist, and said in a deep voice, "Even if it is really fate, I will go against the sky, kill the Buddha and kill the gods along the way, and arrest the face-tearing demon." ”

The bald old man just nodded slightly, stopped talking, and continued to look up. At this time, the twilight had fallen, and a few stars were scattered in the gray-black night sky. Seeing the old man's appearance, Xie Yixiang knew that today's words were all about to be said here, and she was about to get up and prepare to say goodbye, but she heard the old man say again: "Thanks to the favor of the third lady, I have received a lot of money in the past two years, so that the old man has lived a very delicate last life. That's why you're here today, and there are some things that shouldn't have been hidden from you. ”

Xie Yixiang has been friends with this bald old man for a long time, and knows that he has always been silent, but when he heard him say such a thing at this moment, he knew something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

The bald old man sighed and said slowly: "The fire is born in the wood, and the fire is extinguished when the wood is finished." Now the star of the year of the wood is dim, the wood gas has been lost, and the fire will eventually be extinguished in the water. Seeing Xie Yixiang's dazed face, he stretched out an index finger that was so thin that only skin and bones remained, circled around, and finally pointed to the vermilion cotton jacket on his body, and said with a wry smile: "The old man's vitality has actually been exhausted a long time ago, just because the five elements belong to fire, so he has been relying on the wood qi around him for a living, and he has been breathing until now." Now that the year star of the root of the wood qi has lost its position, the wood qi in the world will decay, and even this wood full of wood will not be able to continue to live for me. It was the fate of the old man to have this catastrophe, and he would die in the water tonight. In the future, I can't talk freely with Miss San, so I have to say goodbye here. ”

He heard Xie Yixiang's words in a fog, but fortunately, Xie Yixiang understood the last two sentences, and hurriedly said, "You mean you want to ...... You're going to ......" For a moment, she couldn't think of the right words.

The bald old man nodded slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the starry sky, and said, "Third Miss, please see, the dim star in the night sky is the Sui Star, commonly known as the 'Tai Sui Star'. Now its starlight is bleak, almost nothing, and when its light disappears completely, it will be a disaster in the world, unstoppable, and everything in the world cannot be stopped. ”

Xie Yixiang looked in the direction he pointed, but there were several flashes of starlight, and he didn't know which one was the old star. She asked puzzledly: "Since the stars are dim, it should be a sign of decay, how can it be a disaster for the world?" ”

The bald old man nodded first, then shook his head again, and said, "The third young lady doesn't know, the star has always been divided into two categories, one is Tan and the other is Heng. The ephemeral is fleeting and cannot be eternal, which is what the third lady understands, and you can know the recent situation of the corresponding person by looking at its star image. When people are prosperous, the stars are bright, and when people die, the stars are destroyed, and most of the mediocre mortals in the world belong to this category. Most of its stars are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye. The other type is called 'eternal', this kind of star is eternal, eternal, corresponding to the people of the world, that is, people belong to the stars. The old man said simply, that is, the stars in the sky that are spread in the legends of the market go down to earth, when its star is bright, it means that the star is still in the sky, and has nothing to do with the mortal world, and when the star is dark, it means that the star has been incarnated into a human and landed in the earthly world. ”

Xie Yixiang thought for a while, and finally had some understanding, and asked, "So...... That Tai Sui Star belongs to the category of 'Heng', is it possible...... Could it be that you are saying that Tai Sui Xing has already descended to earth, so the world is going to be in chaos because of this?"

The bald old man shook his head and said: "Wrong, wrong, it is the chaos in the world that comes before the emergence of the old star, which adds fuel to the fire and intensifies." Please also keep in mind that the causal relationship between this must not be confused. After a pause, he pointed to another star and said slowly: "As for the remnant star next to the old star, it is where the old man is." This star is an epiphany that absorbs the wood qi of the year star. Now that the star is out of place, this star will no longer have wood gas to suck, and the old man in the world will no longer exist. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Therefore, the old man and the old man cannot coexist in the world." ”

Xie Yixiang's mind was already in a mess, and he forced a smile: "After all, the theory of the stars is too slim, as the saying goes, if you believe it, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe it, you don't have to care." ”

The bald old man ignored her words, stretched out his hand again, and continued: "Third Miss, look at this star again, although it is also an epiphany, it is as big as a bucket and as bright as the moon. According to the old man's observation, this star will soon be in the position of the year star, and with its own star light, it will cover up the lost year star, so as to suppress the incarnation of the year star in the mortal world. Alas, according to the old man's speculation, if this star can reflect the immortality of Yijiazi in the position of the year star, it may be able to resolve this year of star's mortal catastrophe. ”

Xie Yixiang looked up in the direction he pointed, but saw that the night sky suddenly turned black, and there was not a single star in sight. She was amazed, and suddenly she felt a chill on her face, and a large drop of rain fell on her cheek without warning, and then a torrent of rain poured down, and there was a sound of landing.
