Xuanxia

Chapter 1083 Divination
The words of the banished immortal shocked Fu Qingzhou beyond words and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He stared at the "old liar" in front of him for a long time before he finally calmed down.

The same thing happened to the smoker beside him. He was stunned for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice: "The Heavenly Sword, damn, has a sword spirit?!"

"The Eight Swords of the Kingly Way all exist, so why isn't the Sword of the Heavenly Way included?"

The exiled immortal spread his hands and said, "Ah, but I don't have much time left. Today, I am not here to answer your questions. I am here to tell your fortune..."

"and many more!"

Fu Qingzhou interrupted him and asked in a shocked voice: "Now that it has come to this, you have to explain something, right?"

"What can you explain?"

The exiled immortal curled his lips helplessly: "Explain how I was born? Explain why I have to follow Jiang Baichuan? Explain why I want to help you? Boy, you are not stupid, you can figure this out if you think about it yourself, do you really have to hear a clear answer?"

Fu Qingzhou pointed at himself and said, "Everything is for me?"

"Nonsence!"

The exiled immortal looked at him with disdain and said, "I am doing this for the people of the world!"

“No, no, no…” The Smoker scratched his head. “That sword, that sword stuck in my body, turned me into a sword demon. It’s the most evil thing in the world. How could you…”

"It's so annoying, you can't figure this out?"

The exiled immortal sighed: "Has your memory not fully recovered yet?"

The smoker stared blankly and nodded slowly.

"Have you forgotten that before you died you had a great enlightenment and asked me to take your soul away and send it to Bailu Mountain?"

The exiled immortal sneered, "I am so kind! If the good part is gone, wouldn't there only be evil left?! You don't think that the Heavenly Dao is a good guy, do you?"

The smoker inserted his ten fingers into his hair and started scratching it wildly again.

Fu Qingzhou understood.

The way of heaven is chaotic, with no good or evil. As the saying goes, heaven and earth are not benevolent. He himself must not have any good or evil, but did the Smoker attain enlightenment before his death? In short, he asked the sword spirit of the magic sword. The sword spirit was not benevolent and should not have agreed. However, the magic sword was created by the crazy woman Jiang Lingyun with the concept of "coexistence of opposites", so part of it agreed to the Smoker's request.

Then, as the exiled immortal said, the "good" part is gone, the chaos is broken, and the remaining part becomes "evil", which catalyzes the body of the smoker into a sword demon.

"Alright, alright, I don't want to talk to you any more. Let's get this over with."

The exiled immortal waved his hands and said, "After I finish this, I will be reincarnated."

Fu Qingzhou chuckled: "Can you still be reincarnated?"

"How refreshing! Am I not a living being? Can't I be reincarnated?"

The exiled immortal sneered and took out a tortoise shell from his sleeve. "Who goes first?"

The smoker hadn't finished scratching his head yet: "Is there a part for me too?"

Although he is also an old fellow, he behaves like a greenhorn in front of the banished immortal.

The banished immortal rolled his eyes, not even bothering to explain, and turned his gaze directly to Fu Qingzhou.

The tortoise shell shook in his hand, and the crisp tinkling sound of copper coins shaking and colliding came from the empty tortoise shell. After a moment, as the exiled immortal raised his hand, six copper coins spewed out from the cracks in the tortoise shell and scattered on the table.

The banished immortal's skinny fingers swept across the copper coin, and his originally turbid eyes suddenly sparkled with starlight.

"Li Gua Nine Four, the changing line becomes Kan."

He stroked his white beard and said, "The hexagram says, it comes suddenly, burns, dies, and is abandoned..."

Fu Qingzhou was confused: "What do you mean?"

He really doesn't understand these things.

"Li means south and bright, Kan means dangerous and pitfalls - if you want to find all the answers, you should go south, but after the raging fire, you will eventually fall into the abyss, or lose everything."

The banished immortal tapped the table with his fingers and grabbed all the copper coins back into his hands.

As he leisurely stuffed the copper coins into the tortoise shell, he said naturally, "You, if you go south next, you will get what you want and all the answers you want... but you must also be prepared to lose everything."

South?

Fu Qingzhou looked a little strange: "We are now in the northernmost part of Beiyi, where is not south?" "Fuck you!"

The banished man glared and said, "South is South! A very southern place!"

Fu Qingzhou supported his head with his arms - he actually knew where he should go.

Bailu Mountain.

In fact, during the years since he left, he had already vaguely realized that all the answers were there.

But for some reason, he always consciously or unconsciously ignored the fact that he should go back. Even when he went to southern Xinjiang three years ago and passed by Bailu Mountain, he did not go back.

It was as if there was a hand in the dark, preventing him from returning before the time came.

"Lose everything?"

Fu Qingzhou no longer doubted the exiled immortal. He just asked with a complicated expression: "Do you have to lose everything if you want to get all the answers?"

"There's always a price to pay."

The exiled immortal shook the tortoise shell again and said leisurely, "There is no solution to this calamity. The only way to break it is to give up. Kan and Li complement each other, water and fire are in harmony. The hexagram says that there are clothes and robes. Be vigilant all day long. Just be cautious and self-disciplined and do your best."

Just as Fu Qingzhou was about to speak, the exiled immortal turned to the smoker.

With the sound of tinkling bells, six copper coins were spit out from the turtle shell again.

The smoker also cast his gaze over there.

"The first nine of the Di Lei Fu hexagram, the changing line becomes Zhen."

He read it out himself: "What does it mean?"

"Don't go back, don't regret it."

The exiled immortal looked up at him, his brows slightly raised: "Those who have returned from the dead should imitate the thunder, and not be trapped in the past affairs of the netherworld. Only by practicing the unfinished path can you achieve great fortune."

The smoker frowned slightly.

But then, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Harm, yes."

He sighed, "Thunder is in the ground. The former king closed the door and stopped business. However, earthquake means movement... I was saved from death. Why should I think so much? Just do whatever you want to do."

After saying that, the smoker actually stood up and bowed to the exiled immortal: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts."

"I didn't expect you knew all this." Fu Qingzhou looked at him with a complicated expression.

The smoker turned his head and glanced at him: "I know a lot of things!"

"Alright, alright."

The exiled immortal stuffed the copper coins and tortoise shells back into his sleeves and grinned, "My mission is finally accomplished. Next, I just need to find a place to spend the last few hours..."

He looked at Fu Qingzhou and blinked: "Boy, would you like to consider giving me some money? I want to be happy in these last few hours."

"Okay, no problem."

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "But for a great sword spirit, it's too pitiful to say that you are giving alms... Let's make a deal?"

"Deal?" The exiled immortal squinted his eyes.

"correct."

Fu Qingzhou took out several large-denomination silver bills and placed them on the table, pushing them forward: "To buy the piece of...Xuanxing Divine Iron that you stole from me."

"Hehehe, I knew you didn't forget."

The banished immortal smiled slyly, and with lightning speed he quickly put the banknote back into his arms.

And when he stretched out his hand again, the Xuanxing Divine Iron that had belonged to Fu Qingzhou many years ago was lying in his palm.

"You were doing more harm than good by holding him in your hands back then."

The exiled immortal squinted his eyes and said, "Now... you are no longer trapped in Xuanxing. It is the last key for you to step into the ultimate path of selflessness."
