At night, the big and small heads of the Huoshan Department gathered in one place to welcome the Daomen of the Zongsheng Pavilion and the Tianhe Palace to take care of Zhao Ran. For these tribesmen, Zhao Ran is a big man who can decide the fate of their clan, not to mention the person in front of him who has cleanly leveled the three divisions of the Red Plains, who dares to fool around at will for such a god?

Roasted whole sheep, milk wine, rare fruits and vegetables from the mountains, various insects and snake soup fried in the oil pot were all put on the table one by one, and Zhao Ran was entertained with the courtesy of welcoming the most distinguished guests.

After chatting for a long time, Zhao Ran turned the conversation to the main topic and inquired about the situation of Huo An's newborn child, and many people in the banquet talked about the vision of that day.

After talking for a while, Huo An hurriedly ordered someone to take the child out and let Zhao Ran look at it. He was very much looking forward to his child being able to meet the immortal fate, if he could be admitted to the sect of the Holy Pavilion, the position of the Huo Shan Department in Yongzhen would be more stable.

The one-year-old child was still in swaddling clothes, and his two black eyes stared at Zhao Ran curiously. Such a young child has not yet grown up, so the qualifications and roots are not visible, at least five years old or older, eight to ten years old is the best age to see.

Zhao Ran estimated that if this child was born and really caused thunder and cloudless rain during the day, I am afraid it would not be simple, although it was not clear whether there was a fate to practice at this time, but the possibility of growing up must be very high, and once it was determined that he had a talent for cultivation, he would inevitably belong to the kind of cultivation genius that was rare in a hundred years or even a thousand years.

So he told Huo An that the child had already written it down, and he would come to see it when he was five years old, if the child had an immortal fate, he would be included in the Zongsheng Pavilion to cultivate, and if not, he would also be introduced into the Ten Directions Jungle to ensure his future as a Taoist.

This belongs to occupying the pit in advance, first reaching an agreement with the child's parents to mark the child with his own mark, so as not to be remembered by others. Usually this is also a common practice in the Daomen Pavilion, where there are children in the jurisdiction who cause changes in the heavens or act strangely, they will arrange in advance to keep people, so as not to be robbed by others. It's like when Wei Zhizhen was still young, he was occupied by his teacher Jiang Tenghe, and other sects in Huayun Pavilion could only return with hatred.

With Zhao Ran's promise, Huo An was overjoyed, and entertaining Zhao Ran was even more courteous.

After the banquet dispersed, Zhao Ran stayed in Huo Shanbu, still restless after late at night, and from time to time all the visions he heard about today would appear in front of him.

Looking up at the starry sky and looking at the layers of Huoshan Mountain that were as dark as phantoms from a distance, Zhao Ran's heart moved and decided to count a hexagram.

First run the fourth layer of the Nine Heavens Xuanlong Great Forbidden Technique, put a layer of faint merit Qingyun on his head, and then use plum blossoms to count the hexagrams.

Since it is for the child, it is based on the year, month and day of the child's birth. The year, month, and day are divided by eight, and the remainder is the upper hexagram, and the year, month, and day are divided by eight, and the remainder is the lower hexagram, and then divided by six for the change.

Based on the upper hexagram, the lower hexagram and the change of the hexagram, the hexagram is substituted into the mountain and river trend, wind direction, star position, etc., and the hexagram is just beginning.

But this hexagram can only be regarded as a public saying that the public is reasonable, and the conclusion that the mother is reasonable, no matter how it is explained, this hexagram is reversed from the effect to the cause, which is amazingly accurate, but it is of no use to people who want to really predict, and it belongs to the top deception in the rivers and lakes.

The next divination process is the place where the soothsayer's ability is really tested, at this level, each has its own tricks, Shao Zu has Shao Zu's method, Longyang Patriarch has Longyang Patriarch's method, and Zhao Ran's method is to open the eyes of heaven and earth to enter the hexagram.

Using heaven and earth qi to enter the hexagram is Zhao Ran's unique skill, and this variable is the most critical parameter among all the variables at the time of his divination and prediction. After joining in at this moment, a realization came from the merit celebration cloud on his head: reduce his life expectancy by three months.

This is a unique use of the Nine Heavens Xuanlong Great Forbidden Technique, which cannot resist cause and effect, but it can inform Zhao Ran of the longevity cost after divination.

Trimester!

Zhao Ran hesitated suddenly, since he learned to count plum blossoms, he has also divined many times, but the longest is the time to save the teacher, and after the hexagram is released, he will only lose his life for a month. It's been three months now, and it's the first time in my life. It is said that there is a hexagram here for three months, and there is a hexagram for three months, and if you accidentally toss it a few times, the longevity will be gone for several years.

But since you have learned the plum blossom easy to count, since you have inadvertently fallen in love with this sport, you need to cross this level in your heart.

He took a deep breath and used the Spiritual Victory Method that Senior Brother Wei Zhizhen had taught him last time to encourage himself. Senior Brother's method is to let him imagine that he will definitely be able to enter the refining void, and if he enters the refining void, he can increase his life expectancy by sixty years, and take out a life span of three or five months from sixty years to squander, which is not a problem at all.

Thinking of this, the thought is instantaneous, and then count!

The sky is thunderous, the fire is relieved, the drought is bad, and it is difficult for a hundred trees to live.

Zhao Ran spat out a mouthful of blood, which meant that his lifespan was three months less. After slowing down, he looked at the hexagram again, and was stunned for a moment. This is the first time he has calculated the disaster of heaven and earth, and the hexagram shows that there will be a very serious drought that will make it difficult for "a hundred trees to survive".

However, the word "no delusion" does not give a specific place and time, and even implies a random meaning, which is very puzzling. It is uncertain whether this severe drought will occur, where, and when, but how can it be good?

The impact of the drought on the livelihood of the people is needless to say, and there is no need to say anything more, a major drought will not end without killing thousands of people and displacing tens of thousands of people. Zhao Ran's eyes had already appeared in front of him, and the terrifying scene of white bones and hungry people was ragged. But there is no specific direction, no specific year, how can this be prevented?

He needed more precise calculations.

The divination continued, he woke Huo An from his sleep, and asked him to inform the elders of the tribe who knew the seasons overnight, gather these people together, recall the drought and flood disasters they had experienced in their lives, and record the occurrence of these disasters, the scope of occurrence, the location and other data, and add them to the operation of the plum blossom number as parameters.

The accurately calculated hexagram, before it was about to appear, triggered a violent fluctuation of the merit Qingyun, which had never been seen before, and immediately shocked Zhao Ran.

When Zhao Ran was a little at a loss, the fluctuation of the merit Qingyun finally stopped, and he issued a realization: three years of life!

Three years is not three months, but it is a full three years! Two times here, three times there, and more than ten years are gone, how can this be played? Can it still make people practice happily?

Zhao Ran was faced with the important problem of overcoming the difficulties in his heart again, and he couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it. On the one hand, there is the tragic image of countless people being displaced, and on the other hand, there is the horror of their own whimpering, which is really a dilemma.

The number of three years seems a little familiar, Zhao Ran began to recall carefully, and finally remembered that when he encircled and suppressed the great virtue of Buddhism, Xuan Ci had heard of Xuan Ci's deeds, Xuan Ci in order to pray for rain for the people affected by the drought, and issued a grand wish to the Buddha at the cost of three years of life, so he rescued hundreds of people.

Zhao Ran didn't have the ability to make a wish to Sanqing Daozun, and he couldn't hear it even if he made it, let alone pay attention to it, but it didn't mean that he couldn't use other ways to relieve the disaster, and once this great drought was lifted, did it mean that he would be able to obtain no less merit than Xuan Ci?

How big is this merit and how much merit power can be gained, when he thought of this question, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.

The only problem is that it is three years old.

Could it be that if you want to eliminate this natural disaster, you have to spend three years of life?

Zhao Ran tried hard to convince himself, but he always lacked a little courage, so he asked his senior brother Wei Zhizhen Feifu for advice.

After listening to his advice, Wei Zhizhen replied: "Senior brother, do you have the confidence to enter the Hedao? I am optimistic about you and firmly believe that you can do it. When you enter the realm of Hedao, your longevity will increase by two hundred years, what is the point of just three years?"
