Chapter 223: Tricks
"The so-called difference is a thousand miles, do you know, just such a slightly higher probability of losing a loss, if it is used in a casino, it is a guaranteed daily profit!"
Shen Li said disdainfully: "Whether the divination arithmetic is good or not, the difference is only in these subtleties. ”
Hu Qi spread his hands: "In my opinion, it's all the same, it's all guessing." ”
Shen Li sighed: "Your brain, it's really not suitable for cultivating such a profound spell." ”
"You can't beat me, because I don't plan to learn at all. Fox Qi smiled, and suddenly his expression froze: "Wait, what are you doing here?" Is it possible, are you going to enter the political situation?"
"Hey, you're finally right. ”
Hu Qi blinked: "Is it possible, do you really plan to go to the country and the people?
Shen Li shook his head again and sighed: "Only half of the guess is right." ”
Fox Qi sighed and said disdainfully: "Let me remind you, Daji and the like usually don't end well. ”
Shen Li sighed with a look of regret: "This is obviously a loss of uneducated people! You can only conquer the emperor by relying on beauty and charm, and you must understand politics and power scheming to have a happy ending." ”
"Go, go, go! I don't have to be so deceitful to read more. Fox Qi's eyes glared: "It's so lively and so capable, you should be the empress to wow?!"
Shen Li said with a smile: "It's not bad to be an empress! It's just that I have roughly estimated: the cost is too high, the time is too long, and the risk is extremely high, it's not cost-effective! Whether it is from the people to rebel or enter the harem to usurp the throne, it will take at least 20 years to lay a solid foundation in either way, and then 20 years to cultivate party henchmen and eliminate political enemies, how can I be a mortal with so much time to waste on such a boring thing? Fighting and fighting, forty or fifty years have passed casually, and I will be seventy or eighty years old when I ascend the throne, what is the meaning of life!"
Hu Qi's eyelids jumped when he heard this: "That's right...... It's the same as the real thing! A woman rebelled, and it sounds fresh to me!"
Shen Li glanced at him, picked out a book from the pile of books, and shook it in front of his eyes: "Princess Pingyang Zhao of the early Tang Dynasty laid down most of the country for her father Li Yuan, and was buried with a general ceremony after her death. The Great Wall Niangzi Pass is named because the women's army led by her was once stationed here, she was the first princess in the Tang Dynasty to have a nickname after her death, but unfortunately it was a daughter, and she did not even leave her name in the history books written by men. ”
Hu Qi's expression froze, but he still argued unconvinced: "Since there is no record in the official history, how do you know?"
"Nothing can be taken lightly, especially history. But as long as something happens, there will always be traces, and the more traces you have, the closer you will get to the truth. ”
As he spoke, Shen Li pointed to another bookbox: "Although the official history ignores her, local chronicles and folklore record her life. ”
Fox Qi surrendered: "Okay, you're right! However, anyway, you don't plan to rebel, so let's listen to this as a story." ”
Shen Li nodded: "So, when I am confused and don't know where to go, history will definitely tell me the answer, let me avoid these detours and find the most direct and effective way to achieve my goal." ”
Fox Qi asked, "Then the question is, what is your final plan?"
Shen Li narrowed his eyes, half-leaned on the cushion, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and gently spit out a name:
"Zhao Su. ”
——
Wuling Temple.
"What? You want to join the WTO?"
Mu Bai looked at Yan Shuling, who had a deferential attitude but a resolute gaze in front of him, and only felt that all this was simply ridiculous. This Dao Gu understands everything, and she is usually very well-behaved, but there is only one bad thing - stubbornness.
It can be seen from her demeanor that she has made up her mind, and I am afraid that it is difficult to change. Mu Bai sighed a little weakly and asked, "Okay, tell me your reasons." ”
Yan Shuling said yes in his mouth, a pair of bright eyes slowly turned, as if he had sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly spoke: "Master, do you still remember that two days ago, the imperial court sent an envoy to Guanzhong to ask for the Taiyi technique?"
Mu Bai nodded.
"My monarch is now in the prime of life, but he has been in poor health since he ascended the throne. The purple microstar of the rise and fall of the Lord Emperor is dim, and the Son of Heaven is afraid that time is running out. However, the emperor had no children under his knees, and according to the rules and etiquette of the court brother and brother, three people were selected from among the princes of the vassal kings, summoned to Beijing to be selected, and entered the East Palace in the future. The one who came to seek divination on that day was Zhao Teng, the son of King Shuntian. ”
Mu Bai couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and faintly felt that this matter might not be as simple as he expected. It is related to the rise and fall of the country's fortunes, and it must involve the struggle of the major forces in the world, Mu Bai frowned and said:
The so-called bystander is clear, you can explain the hexagram to him and explain it to him, so why do you have to go down and wade into this troubled water with him?"
Yan Shuling's eyes were lowered, and he didn't refute, but said indifferently: "The disciple just wants to see the prophecy come true with his own eyes, that's all." ”
"Hmph. ”
Mu Bai didn't want to get angry, but when he saw her like this, he really couldn't suppress the fire, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I have never heard of Zhan Yi Hexagram and Bao Lingyan Bao Ren are satisfied! What kind of great god are you? Your prophecy will definitely come true? Even the Heavenly Commander of the Heavenly Destiny Star Monarch would not dare to say such crazy words!"
Yan Shuling didn't speak, and silently listened to the master's reprimand.
Mu Bai said again: "Taiyi's technique can get a glimpse of the heavens, but it is only speculating on the development of the situation. Although Zhao Teng has taken the lead, things in the court have always changed rapidly, how can you be so sure that he can succeed?"
"If I am only asked to divide, I dare not be sure. But if I go out of the mountain, he will ascend to the throne. ”
"Stupid! stupid!" Mu Bai gritted his teeth in anger, and finally pointed at her and scolded: "Arrogance!
Yan Shuling saw that he was really angry, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he only lifted up his clothes, simply knelt in front of the hall, and said with a raised face: "What does this hexagram have to do with my face? In the future, when people talk about this matter, they will only talk about the rights and wrongs of Wulingguan, but they will not just scold me Yan Shuling for not being capable." ”
"Don't talk about my reputation! I won't pat my chest and say, 'You will definitely be the emperor'! I'm not old and foolish!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Shuling sighed softly: "Your old man is not a family, and you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." ”
Although the volume is not large, it is very clear, and it is full of ridicule to Mu Bai's ears: "What do you mean?"
Yan Shuling was neither humble nor arrogant: "What kind of hexagram do you think, what kind of hexagram can be worth ten thousand taels of gold?"
Mu Bai was speechless for a while.
He hasn't been an immortal for a day or two, but being a rich immortal is something after receiving Yan Shuling. When he was still Mu Bai, even though he was proficient in Qimen Dunjia and the author of the original best-selling talisman 'Five Spirit Patriarch', he was still very poor in the more than 1,000 years he had been in the mortal world, just because he really had no concept of money.
Forget about his own loser, Fox Fourteen is brought up by him, and under his influence, he is also a good hand at scattering wealth, and he can't sleep if he doesn't eat all the flowers.
Now that Yan Shuling is talking about this, he is really powerless to refute it.
"That'...... You can't put yourself in it in order to make money, right?" After a while, Mu Baicai helplessly persuaded again: "If you are too deeply involved in mortal affairs, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to your cultivation." ”
Yan Shuling nodded: "Thank you for your understanding." Zhao Teng originally wanted to ask me to be a national teacher with a lot of money, but I politely declined. I am willing to go out of the mountain to help him, and when he is done, I will retreat with my whole body and no longer ask about the world. At that time, he will only accept my Wuling Temple, and he will not need to remember who I am - if anything happens, all the consequences will be borne by me alone. ”
Speaking of which, what else could Mu Bai say? He had to reluctantly nodded: "I know your ability, but I'm afraid that you will be too obsessed with this matter and lose your sense of proportion, and in the end, your cultivation will be worse than the loss." ”
Yan Shuling kowtowed upward: "Thank you for your concern." I have a calculation in my heart, and I have everything under control. ”
Mu Bai sighed in his heart, looked at her and had her own ideas in her heart, and she couldn't listen to the persuasion anymore, so she simply waved her hand and let her go.
She made a great salute to Mu Bai again, and at the end, she got up and said, "Master don't worry, before I leave, the affairs in the Taoist temple will be arranged for proper people to take over, and everything will be as usual." ”
Mu Bai looked out the window a little embarrassed, but he saw that the wind god Hua Lie came at some point, and was standing in the courtyard from a distance and eavesdropping.
Seeing Yan Shuling striding out of the mountain gate elegantly and freely, Mu Bai shook his head and sighed.
Hua Lie stepped forward at this time and quipped: "Why are you still so sad to cultivate such a worry-free and profitable disciple who can still make money?"
Mu Bai turned his face, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Are your nine apprentices usually obedient?"
"I don't listen. Hua Lie blinked: "When you go out, what are you doing when you go out, and when you will come back, they never tell me! I even have to take the initiative to ask them if they want to leave dinner at night." ”
Mu Bai suddenly felt a little relieved.
Hua Lie shrugged: "As far as the god of war gave birth to those nine little cubs, I don't decide to ask my eldest brother about small things, and I don't want to ask my father and mother about big things, in short, it's not my turn to worry." Every day is like herding sheep, scattering grass in the morning and going home to sleep at night, that's all!"
Mu Bai shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and returned to the house: "Blessed!"
Hua Lie followed him into the house with him: "However, I see that your apprentice is very arrogant, and I am afraid that you will suffer a loss." ”
"It's okay to suffer a little. ”
Mu Bai nodded: "However, I know her ability, and I never do things that I am not sure of - I will definitely succeed here." ”
"Sure enough, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked. Hua Lie smiled and said, "Master is crazy like this, how can the apprentice not be crazy?"
Mu Bai didn't think so: "It's not that I'm bragging, she has been practicing with me for a long time, whether it is immortal arts or martial arts, she is properly ranked among the top three immortals in the mortal world." ”
Hua Lie had a different opinion: "If her opponent is just some ordinary mortal immortals or monsters, there is really no suspense in this matter." Even if those people sell your face, they won't go against her. Just ......"
His words suddenly turned: "Although your Taiyi technique is the best in the world, don't forget that there is a sky outside the sky, and there is a heavenly art above Taiyi." ”
Mu Bai frowned slightly: "You said Fengzao Immortal Monarch? I know this person, and the Heavenly Skill is indeed powerful." It's just that this person has an indifferent temperament, has been retired for a long time, lives far away in the South China Sea Immortal Mountain, and hasn't shown up for a long time. Why, he's interested in this matter too?"
"Not really. He is not interested in everything in the mortal world, but his little fox cub is not necessarily. ”
Fox XIV.
At the mention of this name, Mu Bai lowered his head and was silent, and Lao Kuo was in pain.
Hua Lie was amused when he saw him like this: "I just want to ask, does your precious apprentice have a holiday with that fox cub?"
"No ......"
Mu Bai was just halfway through speaking, and suddenly froze: "Last time, on the altar where the Dragon King married his wife, Yan Shuling seemed to have pushed Fourteen into the river. ”
Hua Lie laughed: "Then I'm afraid you have to think about it in advance: if these two people pinch each other, which one do you want to help?
- So the question is, the apprentice and the pet fall into the water at the same time, who will save first?
——
Shenjiazhuang.
"Zhao Su, why is it Zhao Su, the son of the king of Xingxian?" Hu Qi grabbed his hair and said puzzledly: "Judging from the hexagram of my father's divination, it is obvious that Zhao Teng, the son of the Shuntian King, has a better chance of winning, right?"
Shen Li smiled and nodded:
"Judging from the current card, King Shuntian's fiefdom is rich, and the palace must be a solid family, and he can spend money like land to buy party henchmen, so he will soon develop into the most powerful and seize the opportunity; Zhao Yang, the son of King Yingtian, is the son-in-law of the commander of the governor who is staying in the capital, and he has a wide network of contacts in the capital and has a deep foundation. Among the three people, only Zhao Su, the son of Xingxian Wang, was the weakest, and his fief was far away, so he seemed to have little hope. ”
