Chapter 189: A Thousand Years
Qin Guan was also stunned, his face was a little crying and laughing, why did so many people figure it out so easily just now, but when it came to him, it would not work? Could it be that he was really unlucky?
He came back to his senses and arched his hand towards Master Ning and said, "Master Ning, is there anything strange about my luck?"
Master Ning frowned and shook his head: "Venerable guest, you are embarrassing me, although my skill in divination is not in the Great Dao, but now I have been cultivating for hundreds of years, for people with a clear future, it is naturally accurate at a glance." But you 。。。。。。 I don't dare to say anything. ”
Anyway, Master Ning refused to give Qin Guan a fortune calculation when he said anything, and the surrounding monks saw it and began to talk about it. Some people said that Qin Guan must be the fate of the Heavenly Demon Lone Star, but Master Ning refused to give him a fortune because he was afraid of some calamity. Some people said that Qin Guan must have a bad future, so Ning Shi refused to say it easily, lest Qin Guan lose his enterprising spirit. Anyway, there are all kinds of words, but there are not a few good words. Rao is Qin Guan's mind is pure, and he is not so concerned about divination, and he will inevitably look embarrassed when he hears it.
Still Master Ning came back to his senses from his contemplation, and when he heard the surrounding discussions, he realized that everyone was thinking about it, and he was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly said to the people around him: "Fellow Daoists, you don't have to speculate too much, this Daoist's luck is old and can't see clearly, because my cultivation is not at home, and it has nothing to do with this Daoist." Hey, that's not right, and it doesn't matter what it doesn't matter. This Taoist friend's cultivation is superb, much higher than the old decay, and he is a person with the destiny of heaven, the old decay naturally can't understand it, even if he sees some clues, the old decay doesn't dare to say it clearly. Please don't speculate, thank you for this. He bowed to the crowd. The onlookers were dumbfounded, it turned out that the speculation of themselves and others was wrong, the person in front of him was actually stronger than Master Ning's, looking at this tender appearance, it is estimated that he has not even reached the age of 100, is he already a senior in the Jindan period?
Qin Guan sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the effect of self-contemplation was good, and the spell to cover up his cultivation was also very good, but when he came up, he was seen through by others, which still made him a little depressed. He said to Master Ning: "Master Ning's eyes are really like torches, and you can see my heels at a glance, and you admire and admire." ”
Ning Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The distinguished guest is coming, the old decay is just a coincidence of discovery, and the distinguished guest does not need to lift the old decay." After thinking for a moment, he said to everyone: "Everyone, today's old decay will no longer be divined, please go back." The old man wants to invite this distinguished guest to chat for a while, I can't help you. ”
Everyone didn't say anything, after all, the two people in front of them were all cultivators of the Jindan period, although there were many of them, but they were only some scattered cultivators of the foundation building period, how could they dare to spread wild in front of these two seniors, so they had to reluctantly retreat quietly.
As soon as Master Ning got up and waved, he put the square table and chairs into the Qiankun bag, and said to Qin Guan, "Fellow Daoist, do you have time to talk to the old man?"
Qin Guan naturally didn't have any objections, after all, although Ning Shi showed the cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, but in Qin Guan's eyes, Ning Shi's body was covered with a layer of vague aura, not like what Jin Dan monk could have, he must be a person with unique skills, so it also aroused Qin Guan's curiosity.
"Master Ning is polite, the seniors are invited, and the juniors naturally have no reason not to obey. I don't know if the seniors have a place to stay, I am the landlord, why don't the juniors find a place and receive the seniors?" Qin Guan said politely.
Ning Shi nodded, didn't say anything, and followed straight behind Qin Guan. On the way, Qin Guan and Master Ning chatted casually, and sighed that Master Ning had a wide range of knowledge and extraordinary bearing, and they could get a glimpse of Master Ning in hundreds of years of practice, and there must have been a lot of things encountered.
Ning Shi followed Qin Guan along the way to chat and shop, and came directly to the Grand Governor's Mansion located in the center of Lingshan, and there were two people standing outside the mansion who were on guard during the Qi cultivation period, which were recruited by Hao Zhicheng in the casual cultivation, although the cultivation was not high, but he was loyal and honest in nature, and he was willing to endure hardships, so he was deeply valued by Hao Zhicheng.
Although they didn't know who they were, they cautiously stepped forward and said, "Two seniors, I don't know what happened to me to come to my governor's mansion?
Qin Guan was stunned for a moment, he really didn't have any preparations, after all, Lingshan was now building buildings everywhere, and the cleanest place was only Hao Zhicheng's mansion except for the Sword Pavilion. But he didn't expect to be stopped at the door.
Smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and began to grope in the Qiankun bag. The two guards guarding the door, their expressions suddenly became serious, although they have been standing guard here for a few months, but they have not encountered such a situation, they have already arrived at the governor's mansion, and they are still looking for a prayer post, I don't know if they pay attention to the governor's mansion, or if there is something else, of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is not a worship post that is taken out, but something threatening.
However, in the end, this possibility is not high, after all, although the Lingshan Bazaar Grand Governor's Mansion occupies a small area, and the guards at the gate are not tight, it is not far from the Sword Pavilion and the Sanqing Palace on the head, and the Jindan monk can arrive in a jump. Even if there is something unsightly to provoke, Monk Jindan can be sent away with one finger, and there is still the Yuanying Monk of Sanqing Palace.
Qin Guan fumbled for a long time before he took out a piece of yellow paper in the Qiankun bag, which was empty and there was no trace. He hesitated for a moment before he stretched out his finger, wrote a few strokes with spiritual power on the yellow paper, and handed it to the guard guarding the door: "This little brother, you just give this yellow paper to Manager Hao, he naturally knows who I am." ”
Ning Shi saw clearly behind him, the yellow paper was written on a Qin character, and the strokes were peculiar, not like a bird seal, but very similar to the cloud seal from the Sanqing Palace, elegant and handsome. However, he didn't say anything, and his face didn't change at all, but as for the activities in his heart, he didn't know, maybe he was still thinking about how to talk to Qin Guan for a while.
The two waited for a while accompanied by a guard, and then saw Hao Zhicheng come straight to the outside of the mansion, and when they saw Qin Guan, they were still a little surprised, but they quickly returned to calm: "Two, please come with me." ”
When he entered the living room, Qin Guan waved his hand away and removed his disguise, and the momentum of the golden pill all over his body was undoubtedly revealed. Hao Zhicheng wondered in his heart, why did the palace master come to the Lingshan Bazaar today, and there was an old man with crane hair and a childish face behind him, which was really a little weird.
However, he also knew his duty as a subordinate, even if he was curious in his heart, he didn't show it at all, but after Qin Guan and Ning Shi sat down, he served spiritual tea to the two, and then sat down and waited.
Qin Guan stretched out his hand to invite Master Ning to drink tea, took a sip, and said, "Master Ning, I guess you have also guessed my identity, so I won't sell it to you." Senior, I am the current palace master of Sanqing Palace, and my name is Qin Guan. ”
Master Ning smiled and said, "Daoist friends are young, and they have such cultivation, I should have guessed it a long time ago. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there was no young monk with more talent than Daoyou. After that, he sighed, "Originally, I had imagined that Daoyou's talent was high enough, but now it seems that I still underestimated it." ”
Qin Guan hurriedly said modestly: "Master Ning has a good reputation, I am nothing more than the grace of my predecessors, I am not very talented, otherwise I would not have been trapped in Jindan for many years, and I would not be able to advance an inch." ”
Ning Shi's emotion choked, and he said in his heart: "Your age is not even a fraction of mine, even if you are trapped in Jindan for a hundred years, compared to others, it is just a normal level." Not to mention, you've only been trapped in Jindan for a few years, it's really 。。。。。。 ”
smiled bitterly: "Palace Master Qin is really 。。。。。。 Anyway, I don't know if today's old luck is coming, and you can meet nobles when you have nothing to do on the roadside. ”
Qin Guan said: "Master Ning is humble, the kid is invisible, today should be the luck of the juniors, but he actually happened to meet Master Ning." ”
The two of them touted for a while, and even Hao Zhicheng couldn't listen to it anymore before he stopped.
Qin Guan said: "Master Ning, I won't tell you, I invited you to come here to chat, in fact, I am also curious, why don't you do divination for me?"
He had been holding this all the way in his heart, but he hadn't asked it, anyway, there were no outsiders around now, and Hao Zhicheng was just a mere three, so he wouldn't worry about being listened to by others, so he asked.
Ning Shi shook his head: "Qin Palace Master, I don't know if you know if you know what kind of regulations my divination method is?"
Qin Guan thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "Master Ning, the younger generation doesn't have much knowledge, so please forgive Master Ning if it's not right." My Guan Ning Master's divination technique, like looking at people with words, and speculating on fortunes, should be among the thousands of choices, pick out the one that is most in line with the law of development, right?"
He said this ambiguously, but Master Ning understood, nodded and said, "That's right." Divination, although it may seem magical, is actually just a method of calculation that is constantly chosen. To put it more subtly, it is to find out the various factors that affect this person, and then combine it with heaven to calculate the person's fortune and future. As for the good fortune and evil of the diviner, it is not certain, and only a rough range can be given. Of course, the result of divination is not only related to the cultivation of the person who casts the spell, but also related to many factors, so the decay is at most a fortune calculation of three or five years, no matter how much, my cultivation is insufficient, and there are too many factors involved, which is really difficult to discern. ”
Qin Guan nodded, expressing his understanding, but still asked, "But Master Ning, then why do you say that my fortune path is difficult to see? Is it because my cultivation has reached the Jindan Consummation?"
Master Ning frowned: "This matter is also strange, originally I watched the purple qi on the top of the Qin Palace Lord, and he must be a person who has achieved cultivation, but it stands to reason that even a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage can't make me unable to count anything at all." But as soon as I measured the Qin Palace Lord's fortune, I found that I was at a loss, and there was no spiritual opportunity at all, as if the Heavenly Dao had blinded the future of the Qin Palace Lord. I'm still a little unwilling, so I want to calculate the future based on the past events of the Qin Palace Master, but I still can't calculate anything. In this way, I smiled bitterly and said, I can't count anything from the Qin Palace Master. This is not an old self-effacing statement, but it is indeed incapable of doing it. ”
Qin Guan understood Master Ning's helplessness, his past was not in this world, and of course the people in this world could not calculate it. As for Qin Guan's future, this is a bit mysterious, it is estimated that it involves the Heavenly Dao, so it will be deceived and cannot be measured.
Knowing it in his heart, Qin Guan said: "Master Ning, this matter is also kept secret by the seniors, although the juniors are not afraid of rumors, but after all, Xi is the palace master of the Sanqing Palace, and it is not good to cover the Sanqing Palace with any bad gossip." ”
Ning Shi said with a smile: "Palace Master Qin doesn't have to worry, the old man still has this bit of ethics, don't look at what I said so much about the roadside stall today, in fact, the important things have been transmitted to them, and they will not be explained to everyone." And since the Qin Palace Master has not revealed his identity today, it is impossible for me to do this thankless thing. The Qin Palace Lord can rest assured. ”
Qin Guan put his mind at ease and said, "Master Ning, your skill in divination is magical, can you have a teacher?"
Master Ning sighed: "This is nature, although the old man thinks that his talent is quite passable, but he is not a unique genius of Tianzhong, and he naturally has a teacher." The way of divination of old decay was taught by his teacher thousands of years ago, and he practiced it for thousands of years before he has the current level. Hey, for a thousand years, the past is like smoke!" After that, he was speechless for a long time.
Qin Guan cautiously asked: "Master Ning, you have been practicing for thousands of years, why are you still in the late stage of Jindan? Although the lifespan of Jindan monks can theoretically reach a thousand years, it can only be achieved by those who have no injuries, and no one has been able to get rid of it since ancient times, Master Ning, how can you break through?"
Then he realized that he was inquiring into other people's privacy, and added: "Master Ning, if it's your secret, you don't have to say it, kid, it's just curiosity, I don't want to hear your secret, and I ask Master Ning not to blame." ”。
Master Ning waved his hand: "Hey, Palace Master Qin doesn't have to worry, this matter is not a big deal." The people of Beihai know that although my cultivation is not high, I have the ability to practice freely in Beihai, seek benefits and avoid disasters, if I would rather someone call himself second, no one will dare to say first, and naturally it will be able to be extended for a thousand years. Moreover, I have swallowed a lot of life-prolonging spirit grass that I have found, and now I still have three to five hundred years to live. ”
Hao Zhicheng was speechless on the side, and said in his heart: "This old man looks like a crane with a childish face, similar to his appearance before he didn't practice, he is gray-haired, and he is actually a thousand years old, which is really unseemly." ”
