Chapter 24: Mandate of Heaven
"Yanzhou?"
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and then pouted and said: "In the past, the place where the human race bred was not Kyushu, but ten continents, including Yanzhou. However, a catastrophe occurred in Yanzhou later, the poisonous smoke was filled, the flames were soaring, and almost all humans and beasts perished. Therefore, later it was called the land of Kyushu, and Yanzhou was already a dangerous place. ”
Liu Zifeng secretly smacked his tongue when he heard such a strange news, and he didn't know what kind of catastrophe had turned a continent into a place of death.
"Boy, today is the night of the fifteenth moon, and the yin qi is the strongest. You kid actually came here to cultivate the Qi of Yin Ghosts, isn't it because you are tired of it?"
Lao Dao looked at him and said unceremoniously. Glancing at the stone tablet on the ground, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he said softly: "The original name of this sword is 'Ten Peerless Swords', which was cast by Kun Wuzi by killing an ancient evil beast in the wilderness and dying nine times in his life. ”
After speaking, he picked up the broken sword, watched the green light on it flicker, and sighed lightly: "Sure enough, this demon has escaped." ”
Liu Zifeng was startled, recalling that Fang Cai seemed to have even been affected by his own mind, and asked in horror: "Senior, could it be that this evil beast is not dead yet?"
Lao Dao rubbed the word "Kunwu" on the hilt of the sword with his palm, and said: "This kind of fierce beast has the same way as humans, and its strength is much higher than that of Kunwuzi. Kun Wuzi also tried his best to kill this fight. took its essence and asked many masters to help refine this divine sword. ”
As he spoke, Lao Dao's body suddenly became imposing, and the middle finger of his right hand suddenly pointed at the head of the demon beast at the tail of the short sword. For a time, the turquoise glow was in full bloom. In the blue light, only a little black tobacco dissipated invisibly. In the dark, it seemed that an unwilling roar echoed, and disappeared in an instant.
After doing this, Lao Dao returned to his previous appearance of a master, threw the broken sword in his hand to Liu Zifeng, and admonished: "Boy, there are still some remnants of the demon's soul in the broken sword. Although Kun Wuzi was suppressed by True Qi, Kun Wuzi Immortal had passed away for many years, and it became more and more difficult to suppress this remnant soul riot. You have to remember that you must not use this magic weapon against the enemy unless you have to. ”
Liu Zifeng nodded when he heard this, and remembered it in his heart. Even if he doesn't say it, he has twelve points of jealousy of this broken sword in his heart. The scene that affected his mind before made him tremble. Where do you dare to drive such a strange thing casually, I am afraid that I will lose my mind at that time and never recover.
Lao Dao looked at him seriously, but didn't say anything more. Liu Zifeng put away the broken sword, looked at Lao Dao and asked, "Senior, you came here today, do you have something to say to your juniors?"
Lao Dao was noncommittal, and after a shake of his body, he floated in front of Liu Zifeng and said: "There is cause and effect in the underworld, since I have a cause and effect with you, there is naturally something to find you." As he spoke, a secret yellow talisman suddenly appeared in his hand, holding Liu Zifeng's shoulder with one hand, and reciting the mantra silently in his mouth.
Suddenly, I only heard the sound of "flutter". Liu Zifeng suddenly felt the world spinning, and there was a tingling pain in his brain. Fortunately, the needle prick felt only for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he found himself in a room.
A small house with a few oil lamps faintly lit. In front of him was a small wooden bed, on which lay a teenager.
The boy looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old, with a ruddy complexion, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. With his eyes closed, he felt as if he were asleep.
As if hearing something, the young man's eyes opened, and he first looked at Liu Zifeng. Liu Zifeng was shocked in his heart, this young man's pupils were unusually silvery-white, and there were no waves in his eyes. Then he turned his eyes and saw the old man beside him, and he was about to sit up as soon as his expression moved. Seeing him so weak, Liu Zifeng also sweated in his heart, and hurriedly walked two steps to the side of the bed and helped the young man's body.
"Destiny, how are you doing?"
Lao Dao looked at the young man, the appearance of the master was long gone, and asked with a concerned face.
"Grandpa, I'm much better, don't worry. I don't know who this is?"
The boy's speech was short, extremely clean and capable. The oil lamp in the room was faintly rippling, reflecting the willow wind's face a little yellow. Lao Dao didn't answer the young man's words, but plucked the wick of the oil lamp with his hand, waited for the light to be a little brighter, turned around to look at Liu Zifeng, and spoke softly.
"The old man's real name is 'Divination', his compound surname is 'Fortune', and his single name is a word. This arithmetic technique has been passed down from generation to generation and is now thousands of years old. The 'Technique of Relative Calculation' can be traced back to the first generation of human beings, when there were no various mantras for cultivation, only the surging energy of heaven and earth and the unpredictable power of the underworld. The 'art of mutual calculation' is to capture the invisible mysterious power between heaven and earth, and to calculate the unknown from the past. Compared with the Luoxia Sect's mental formula, I don't know how many years earlier. ”
Liu Zifeng was shocked in his heart, since ancient times, human beings have respected heaven, earth, ghosts and gods. There are too many unknown things in this heaven and earth, and the reason for this is that no one can understand it, and those who practice pay attention to conforming to heaven and earth, believing that heaven and earth are immortal. If you understand these mysteries, you may be able to solve the secret of immortality.
However, as the saying goes, there is a providence in the dark. This trace of providence is due to the number of fate, and the "art of mutual arithmetic" is undoubtedly to steal the will of heaven and gain insight into numerology. In this way, it is to act against the sky, and I am afraid that I will pay a heavy price. What's more, the soul is scattered, and it will never enter reincarnation.
These things were all mentioned by Zhou Lao inadvertently when he was chatting with Zhou Lao before. But at this time, it is confirmed one by one with the old way of divination, and it is somewhat true.
At this time, Shu Bucheng looked at Liu Zifeng with a solemn face, and said seriously: "Liu family boy, I have told you so much, that is, I have something to explain to you." ”
Liu Zifeng saw that his face was solemn, and he was a little nervous in his heart, so he hurriedly got up and said: "The seniors have cultivated to the sky, so they really overestimate the juniors." I'm afraid that what the seniors can't accomplish, the younger generations can't do either!"
Shubu Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You have a few catties and a few taels of old man can naturally weigh it, the destiny of this child is lacking in soul from birth, although there is a 'Yin Spirit Pupil', but the lifespan will never exceed thirty years." Today I would like to explain two things to you, first, let the Mandate of Heaven follow you, and second, I hope that if you have the opportunity, you can look for a medicinal herb called 'Black Yin Lingzhi'. Of course, the old man will not let you do these things in vain. ”
After speaking, Shu Bu Cheng took out a booklet from his arms. When he got closer, Liu Zifeng saw four big characters written on it: Xiangbu Tianshu.
On the bed, the young man was also shocked by the things that Shu Bu Cheng took out, and said in a lost voice: "Grandpa......!
Divination Cheng waved his hand, interrupting what the young man wanted to say, and said: "This "Book of Divination Heaven" is handed down by the ancestors of the family, and there are all kinds of anecdotes in it, as well as many annotations from predecessors. Whether you say yes or not, this thing will be given to you. In addition, if you agree to the old man's request, I can do the divination for you three times, including anything. These three divinations, all in the form of fortune hexagrams, are used for you to divination!"
The fortune divination of heaven changed color suddenly, and he naturally practiced the "Book of Divination Heaven", and knew some of the taboos in great detail. "Fortune hexagram" is a kind of hexagram in the divination book, the technique is simple, the requirements for Taoism are very low, but the only point is that it needs to consume longevity.
Although Liu Zifeng didn't know what the "fortune hexagram" was, he knew that it was not easy to look at the face of the fortune divination. As for being able to predict the heavens, this is really what he needs. The death of Zhou Lao, the disappearance of Liu Zikong, the extinction of the Liujia village, everything is a mystery.
Even now, he doesn't even know what he is living for other than to become stronger and take revenge.
Phoenix?
He had no intention of pursuing a profound path, nor did he intend to quarrel with the troubled times. Liu Zifeng himself doesn't know, what exactly do you want in your heart?
It's just that he was forced to choose this endless road. From then on, the mundane was abandoned, and the strife and killing never ceased.
"Senpai, I promise you ......"
He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke up. During this period, the Divination Cheng and the Fortune Divination Heavenly Mandate have not spoken, the former frowning and pondering, and the latter equally silent.
With such a character and responsibility, why worry that he can't stir up the wind and rain in the future. The old man wants to tell you a word, remember to ask your heart in everything, and it is God's will to have a clear conscience. If you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of the will of heaven?
The hesitation and thunder of the words sounded in Liu Zifeng's mind, and Liu Zifeng knew what he meant. The Falling Moon Peak is not not a good place, but because of some things that ordinary people can't know, it has become a forbidden place for everyone to talk about.
"A clear conscience......
Liu Zifeng thought silently in his heart, pondered for a while, and felt that these four simple words contained more than he imagined.
"Liu Zifeng, I will inform Ji Zhengfa. After that, the Mandate of Heaven will follow you to the Falling Moon Peak. If you want to do something, the old man will look for you the next time he comes back, at least a year or more than three years. During this period, you will first work hard to improve your cultivation. I can't see through the origin of your mental method, but with the destiny by your side, there will be no such taboos in the future. Okay, I'll send you back. ”
After speaking, Shu Bu Cheng took out a yellow talisman, stuck it on Liu Zifeng's chest, and shouted in a low voice: "Escape!"
......
As soon as the flowers in front of him appeared, Liu Zifeng found that he had returned to the back mountain. The stone tablet on the ground was already inconspicuous, and Hei Yan next to him was startled when he saw Liu Zifeng suddenly appear. When he saw the appearance of the figure clearly, he suddenly screamed a few times with joy and skillfully climbed onto his shoulder.
Liu Zifeng looked at the sky, the full moon was hanging in the west, and it seemed that it would be dawn in a few hours.
He looked around and saw that the two dead hares were still on the ground. He walked over and picked up the dead rabbit, looked back at the stone tablet, and then went back.
Back at his lodgings, he threw the dead rabbit aside, and the hunger in his stomach had long since disappeared after the night was tossed. From time to time, I remembered what Fortune Cheng said to him, and my mood was complicated.
After a while, he slapped his head and said, "It's bad, I still have to do my homework at dawn, I have to hurry up and rest!"
