【Chapter 48】Fate

Li Xiaochen secretly wiped his cold sweat, picked a stool and sat down, and while glad that he didn't mess things up, he continued to chase after the victory: "This thing may not be so bad." Let's talk about it and put aside our preconceptions. Seeking common ground while reserving differences may lead to unexpected results. ”

Qin Yichuan glanced at Li Xiaochen and asked, "Which disciple are you who was taught by a master, and how long have you been cultivating immortals?"

"Oh, I'm Jiang ......" came out, and Li Xiaochen suddenly felt inappropriate.

If Jiang Mier's name is raised, will it cause some unnecessary trouble?

She rarely mentions the affairs of the Jiang family, and maybe there is something unspeakable. It's really not good to rashly involve Jiang Mi'er.

Therefore, Li Xiaochen smiled and temporarily changed his words: "Not a famous person." I'm too embarrassed to mention. ”

Where could Qin Yichuan not understand the meaning of this? The word "ginger" is very famous in the world of cultivating immortals.

I'm afraid that this young man deliberately conceals his teacher's inheritance and doesn't want to tell anyone.

And Qin Yufei heard it more clearly. Previously, she saw Li Xiaochen at school and made a flying star step on the moon. Now I heard him say "ginger" again.

There is no doubt that he 100% learned the method of cultivating immortals from the head of the Jiang family.

Qin Yufei followed the words and introduced to Qin Yichuan: "He is the person you want to meet." ”

Li Xiaochen made a simple self-introduction, and was about to say something, but saw Qin Yichuan's face turn cold.

The so-called man relies on clothes and horses and saddles. But all the descendants of the family who are famous in the world of cultivating immortals, even if they are not dressed gracefully and luxuriously, they can get by decently.

Li Xiaochen was dressed so downwardly. Either they were born poor, or they were great cultivators who were hidden in the world like the cold mountains and the picks.

But looking at his complexion, it was obvious that his true qi was not condensed enough. This kid is just a layman with no foundation.

is neither a famous family nor has strength, how can such a person be looked down upon by his daughter?

Compared with his son-in-law Lin Hanzhi, who was heroic, graceful, humble and polite, young and ambitious and from a famous family, he was 108,000 miles away.

Qin Yichuan thought for a while, pinched the teacup, and said angrily: "Just find someone to pretend to be a replacement, Fei'er, are you so bluffing when you are your father!"

I saw that the cup of tea with mist in it was boiling instantly, like boiling water, constantly churning and tumbling, as if telling Qin Yichuan's anger.

Not long after, all the tea in the cup evaporated into water vapor, floating in the air, and there was no trace of it again.

Seeing this situation at first glance, Li Xiaochen couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. Qin Yichuan's cultivation is really amazing. With just one meat hand, tea can be evaporated in such a short time.

I don't know how much success he used?

The strategy was recognized, Qin Yufei did not show panic, but was indifferent: "I don't need to deceive you. ”

Qin Yichuan didn't believe her nonsense at all: "If you want to find someone to fake, at least find a decent one, right?" anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kid is not worthy of you at all!"

"Where is he not worthy?Is he dressed poorly, or is he low-level in cultivation, and he can't get into your eyes?" Qin Yufei glanced at Li Xiaochen lightly, "Indeed, he doesn't have a foundation now." But in time, he will inevitably become famous in the immortal cultivation world and become a leader among the younger generation. No, not just the best. He will also be the first person in the immortal cultivation world who surpasses the four great families and the Immortal Wheel Sect, shaking the past and the present, and moving the eight tables. ”

When Li Xiaochen heard her say this, he suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, and muttered in his heart: Qin Yufei, you should brag a little bit, right? to the sky, and it will be very melancholy to fall. In case your dad gets angry and pinched me to death on the spot...... You have to be responsible!

Qin Yichuan sneered again and again, disapproving his daughter's big words.

He picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said to Qin Yufei: "You have been learning the art of star divination from your mother since you were a child, and you should know better than anyone what fate is. We don't have to fight with each other. You said to yourself, what is the fortune of your life?"

Qin Yufei was gagged by the word "fate", and couldn't even say half a word for a while.

The Qin family is proficient in arranging the array of stars. Qin Yufei's mother is recognized as the number one star diviner in the immortal cultivation world.

Since ancient times, heaven and earth have implied many mystical truths.

When Zhuge Kongming was ploughing in Nanyang, he learned a lot of knowledge because he was a farmer.

Don't underestimate the profession of a farmer. In particular, the ancient farmers knew astronomy and geography.

For example, "the fish in the sky are spotted, and the grain does not need to be turned", which is a proverb that is familiar to the broad masses of peasants to predict the weather.

Since farming is a work that depends on the weather, understanding the law of climate change is of great help to the farmers' farming career.

Not only that, farming is also related to the selection of topography and soil.

Zhuge Kongming's future achievements are inseparable from his valuable experience as a farmer.

For the commander, knowing the sky, knowing the land, leading the troops to fight can drive the weather and terrain this invisible soldier to give the opponent a blow.

Through stargazing, you can get a glimpse of the heavens and predict the future changes in the situation in the world, so as to be ready to deal with everything.

And the science of star divination that the Qin family is good at can be divided into two parts. One is the art of stargazing, and the other is the study of divination.

Stargazing can know the destiny of heaven, and divination can ask people about fortune.

In the Siku Quanshu, there is a work called "The Book of the Emperor's Classics".

It is a strange book that deduces the origin of the universe, natural evolution, and social and historical changes according to the theory of the I Ching.

From the rise and fall of countries and dynasties in the world, to the ups and downs of individual fate, they can all be deduced and calculated mathematically.

After all, divination is a very esoteric mathematics. It is a difficult and precise science, not a superstition as many people believe.

Why is it called "fortune telling"? Among them is the process of "fortune telling".

A master who is truly proficient in divination can calculate your life accurately. Generally speaking, such people are very good at math.

For the diviner himself, he is either a liar or a bad scorer in mathematics.

Qin Yufei is familiar with the art of star divination that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Qin family, and naturally understands what a heavy word "fate" is.

It determines a person's life, including how much you receive each month, how much you eat, who you marry, and whether you have children...... Wait, everything, it's doomed.

Her mother once calculated for her that Qin Yufei's marriage was bumpy. It takes two unhappy and short-lived marriages to find your true destiny.

The first marriage has been fulfilled, that is, Lin Hanzhi, who died young.

The second paragraph will come soon, and the other half of Qin Yufei will be from the Jiang family.

Confucianism talks about knowing destiny and believes that the mandate of heaven cannot be violated. Taoism speaks of the Mandate of Heaven and acknowledges that the Mandate of Heaven is irresistible.

Heaven and earth have their own way. This means that everything has its own laws of development and operation.

For example, the cycle of day and night, the cycle of the four seasons, and the movement of celestial bodies......

In the Analects of Confucius, it is recorded that Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, said: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages." ”

Zhuangzi, one of the representatives of the Taoist school, also believed that the mandate of heaven could not be disobeyed.

Qin Yufei, who has accepted this theory since she was a child and confirmed it herself, can deeply appreciate the irresistible power of fate.

Now her father has brought out his fate to suppress her. As the inheritor of the Qin family's astrology, she couldn't refute it.

Although she had a glimmer of hope before and wanted to rely on Li Xiaochen to prevaricate her father, Qin Yufei, who could receive Xingbu teaching from childhood to adulthood, couldn't help but bow her head after encountering "fate".

Because she knows that in front of these two words, everything is powerless.

Sooner or later, she will welcome her second husband, the man from the Jiang family.

Li Xiaochen caught a glimpse of Qin Yufei stunned, as if he was caught in some memory. He thought to himself: This iceberg beauty shouldn't be bluffed by her father, right?

The situation did not develop at all as he had imagined, and was even out of his control.

If Qin Yufei compromised on this and let her father arrange a marriage and marry someone she didn't like, then what was the point of appearing here?

Xiaobi came to ask him at the beginning, firstly, to let him ease the conflict between the father and daughter, and secondly, she didn't want her young lady to be forced to marry.

Li Xiaochen looked at Qin Yufei's gloomy appearance of losing her soul, and her heart was even more unhappy.

He could somewhat guess that Qin Yufei's silence was related to the "fate" mentioned by Qin Yichuan.

Has this peerless beauty bowed to fate?

The most unacceptable thing in Li Xiaochen's life is the practice of "accepting fate".

A thousand words welled up in his chest, and he couldn't help but say to Qin Yichuan: "Uncle Qin, let me ask you a question. Do you think fate can determine a person's life?"

Qin Yichuan didn't take this early twentieth hairy boy in his eyes at all, and casually responded: "If fate can't decide a person's life, then listening to it is not fate." ”

"I don't think so. Li Xiaochen shook his head and talked about his background, "I was born in a single-parent family that is not wealthy. My dad divorced my mom very early. The family doesn't have much money. As you can see, I can't even afford a better dress. When I was in elementary school, because I was the child of a divorced mother, the teacher looked down on me and arranged me to listen to the last row of the classroom. My classmates also stayed away from me and didn't want to be my company. As a child from a poor family who lacks father's love, I want to change this situation. ”

Li Xiaochen thought of his mother and sister who had depended on him since childhood, as well as those bleak years that went away with the wind and hardships, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He took a deep breath and continued, "If I had succumbed to fate, I wouldn't be alive now. Uncle Qin, do you think that fate determines a person's life? If you have this kind of thought, you will become a slave of your fate. I have been bound by fate all my life. I want to ask you, what is destiny and where did it come from? Can you answer me?"

Qin Yichuan was stopped by this sudden question.

He usually talks about his fate, and tells fortunes to many people through the art of star divination.

He also gave people feng shui, changed names, taught people to be kind, and changed their fate......

But I never thought about what fate was and where it came from.

Li Xiaochen said: "Destiny is created by people's past lives. The so-called Cause and Effect III. If you want to know the cause of the past life, the recipient of this life is. If you want to know the fruits of the afterlife, you will be the one who does it in this life. Since fate is created by one's own past life, each person is the master of his own destiny. Why should you be bound by your past self and unwilling to change your destiny and be the master of your destiny?"

Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and also acknowledges that people have a destiny.

However, Confucianism and Taoism only teach people to follow the way of heaven to do things, not to explain what fate is.

And the Buddha, who is the teacher of the Three Realms and the father of the Four Holy Beings, spoke most thoroughly.

The cause and effect of the three lifetimes run through the three lifetimes, that is, the past life, the present life, and the future life.

People do have a fate, and it is your own making.

Not only has your death affected you in your present life, but what you do in this life will also affect your next life and even the next.

But Buddhism is not negative, but positive.

The Buddha not only told the world the truth, but also taught people how to change their fate, cultivate good fortune, and solve problems fundamentally.

-- Fate is not immutable. It can be transformed!

Suddenly hearing Li Xiaochen say this, Qin Yufei turned her head in surprise and stared at this boy.

Over the years, she has been following the trajectory of her life, and her heart has long been like ashes. But at this moment, a few words from Li Xiaochen ignited a flame of hope.

When Qin Yichuan heard his words, he only felt ridiculous: "Haven't you heard that karma cannot be reversed?

Li Xiaochen stared at his eyes without giving an inch, and said in a sonorous voice: "Let's not say whether your understanding is correct or not. Let me start with a big disrespectful remark. If you know through divination that your daughter will die in three days, will you just sit back and wait for her to die? What's the difference between that and the walking dead? It's better to be alive than dead!"
