Chapter 125: Seeking Immortals
Eighteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, the couple surnamed Jiang and the couple surnamed Song are getting older and older, and the premature baby of the year has also become a teenager, although even if there is no Styx, Jiang Shang can be born safely, but in this dynasty of the human race, the risk of giving birth to a child is still not small, if the midwife comes a little late at that time, in the eyes of the Jiang family, there will be a danger to life, so Jiang Shang has always been respectful after seeing the River Styx, calling the River Styx "Uncle Styx". ”
This is said that Styx is drinking tea in the store (the era of tea is ignored!), Jiang Shang walked into the store, and after seeing Styx, he saluted and said, "Uncle Styx, business is good today, right?" Styx nodded, "A rich lord came today and gave me a lot of hexagram reward, which can be enough for me for a while." After Jiang Shang was born, the couple surnamed Jiang also hugged the Styx and showed it, but Jiang Shang began to cry as soon as he was close to the Styx, his parents were very embarrassed at the time, but when Jiang Shang grew up, he was very interested in the Styx, to be precise, he was very interested in the guy who ate in the Styx.
Jiang Shang has been very interested in the gossip of the River Styx since he can remember, just three years ago, Jiang Shang suddenly came to the shop of the River Styx, saying that he wanted to worship the River Styx as a teacher and learn the method of gossip, the River Styx did not agree to Jiang Shang's apprenticeship, but he was allowed to study by his side, "Fuxi Bagua" and "Book of the Earth" were also read by himself, and the River Styx had one more miscellaneous at that time.
Another two years have passed, Jiang Shang has also studied here in the River Styx for a full five years, in order to take care of the family's livelihood, Jiang Shang also set up a fortune-telling stall, and now there are not many people who remember the things of the River Styx, and the money collected by the River Styx is given by others, so the business of the River Styx has been intermittent. Now that there is one more person who grabs business, there are even fewer people who come to Styx to tell fortunes, but Styx doesn't care.
Jiang Shang came to Styx's shop again today to read books, although he has studied here in Styx for five years, and now he is also a fortune teller, but for gossip, he is still just getting started, and sometimes he can't calculate the lives of some guests, and he has to bring people to Styx. After reading the book for a while, Jiang Shang was a little absent-minded, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "Uncle Ming, I encountered something today. Styx nodded to indicate that he was listening, and Jiang Shang continued: "One of the guests from my stall today, I calculated that he had bad luck recently, so he didn't go out if he was okay recently, and he promised me. But just as he was leaving, he was hit by an out-of-control carriage, is this his fate?"
Styx lay down in a rocking chair he had made and said, "Since you have calculated that he is unlucky, then you should know that this will happen." Jiang Shang smiled bitterly: "Uncle Ming, in this case, we can only calculate, but we can't stop it?"
"We can calculate the number of other people's lives, so we can make a living from it, but we can only do that, from the time of birth, everyone's life is fixed by all kinds of causes and effects, we can break it, but we can't break it. ”
Jiang Shang asked: "So, then why doesn't Uncle Ming see a few more customers a day? Your shop has not been renovated for more than 20 years, and seeing a few more guests a day can increase income and help more people?"
Styx shook his head and said, "When your parents brought you to me to make amends, I said that your fortune telling has nothing to do with me, why are you still afraid that I will settle accounts with you?" Jiang Shang's face was a little red, he wasn't worried that this Uncle Ming would settle accounts with him, he was a little worried about Uncle Ming, Jiang Shang had heard his parents talk about the things back then, obviously Uncle Ming was kind to both of them, and now Uncle Ming is also older, the rules of three trigrams a day have not changed, and now he has robbed him of a lot of business, and Uncle Ming has no descendants, I don't know if his savings are enough, and whether he can spend it safely in his old age.
Jiang Shang could still see this kindness of the Styx, and now was the right time, so he decided to point him out and said, "This is fate! Even if I hexagram three times a day, the person who can get it will naturally have this fate, otherwise there is no way to force it, and the things that should come still have to come, such as your guest today." This is fate, some people are destined to die, such as your parents and the Song family, I can calculate their longevity, but I have no way to change it. ”
Jiang Shang's face turned pale, "Uncle Ming, why don't I know what you said?" But I can obviously expect it, but I can't change it, this ...... This...... Hey!"
Styx smiled: "Why be so depressed, the destiny of heaven is composed of cause and effect, if you have enough power, you can change a person's fate, just like when I reset the feng shui for the couple of the Song family, but that is just a small path, if you want to ignore fate, then you can only become a powerful immortal." ”
Jiang Shang exclaimed: "Immortals, I only know that the lifespan of immortals is unlimited, but I don't know that immortals can change people's fate. ”
Styx smiled, with a sneer on his face, "As long as the Da Luo Jin Immortal can be cultivated, he can jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, Shou Yuan can be called infinite, some small causes and effects can be completely reversed in their hands, and the change of life against the sky in the eyes of mortals is worthless in their eyes." And the quasi-saint realm above the Great Luo Golden Immortal, each of them is an existence beyond heaven and earth, even if heaven and earth are broken, they can survive. Above the quasi-saint is the realm of the saints, their every move can affect the heavens and the earth, what they say is the way of heaven, and the heavens and the earth are just a game of chess for them, even if they reopen the heavens and the earth, it is a matter of turning over. ”
After saying this, Jiang Shang's heart warmed up, Jiang Shang's face flushed, and he asked, "Uncle Ming, are immortals really so carefree? What is the way of immortals? Why haven't I seen an immortal?"
"How old are you, you have been in this song for the past twenty years, is it possible that your qualifications are against the sky, let the immortals come to rob you to apprentice? Immortals live in famous mountains, even if they go down the mountain, they will hide their identity, except for coincidences, mortals have the opportunity to meet immortals? If you want to become an immortal, you must find it yourself. ”
Jiang Shang thought about it carefully, and then said: "Now that our parents are still here, how can I leave them to go to the immortal search alone?
