genius divination

Chapter 1303
The man standing at the end of the bridge looked very ordinary, probably around 50 or [-] years old.Wearing a gray shirt and glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looked a bit like a middle school teacher.He didn't seem to notice Fan Jiannan coming over, he just looked at the street in the distance calmly.

Cars coming and going, people coming and going.It's like flowing water under a bridge, never stopping for a moment.

The man sighed, "Young man, you shouldn't smoke, it's bad for your health."

Fan Jiannan spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, looked at him and said, "I don't want to live as long as you. Besides, even if I quit smoking, I can't live to be a hundred years old, and I can't compare with you."

"The tortoise bastard wants to live so long." The man smiled and said, "Although my surname is Wu, I am not related to them."

"So it's really you?" Fan Jiannan frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. "You are Wu Nanming, Mr. Wu?"

The man shrugged and said, "I have had too many names, and some of them have been forgotten long ago, but this name is the only one I dare not forget. Because it was chosen by my father. If you forget this name, you will really forget your ancestors. You should Is it Fan Jiannan?"

"Yes, I heard you want to see me?" Fan Jiannan looked at him and said.

"Did Long Ge tell you everything?" Wu Nanming glanced at him.

"Not much, he carefully avoided talking about you. He just said some simple things." Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Nanming and said, "And to be honest, I still don't really believe that you are from the Ming Dynasty. "

"Hehe, people from the Ming Dynasty can only say that they used to be. I was born at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. I watched the Ming Rebel Army drive out the Mongol Tartars. I also watched the Manchu Qing Dynasty enter the customs and win the world. I have seen the prosperity of Kang and Qian, and I have also experienced Kang Liang Reform. Witnessed Yuan Huguo, and watched the Japanese invaders. What ordinary people read in history books, has been fleeting in front of my eyes." Wu Nanming said lightly, "And I am not static. Change is not even as great as change in people.”

Fan Jiannan looked at this person with complicated eyes, and said slowly, "Then what did you ask me for? Did you come to give me a history lesson?"

"Don't worry, young man." Wu Nanming smiled softly, "Can you walk with me? I haven't been here for many years. You have to take care of the old man's nostalgic feelings."

"It's true, sometimes I am quite nostalgic. For example, when I think of the girls in school, I like to tease them. Unfortunately, they may not miss me. When I realize this, I start Not nostalgic anymore." Fan Jiannan shrugged. "I heard that you once told someone a fortune-telling here?"

"A long time ago, at that time, the bridge was still an arch bridge. Every few years, I would come here to tell fortunes to others, and I would go to the tavern on the corner to get drunk to commemorate a friend of mine." Wu Nanming said slowly. Slowly. "His whole family was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang."

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't know."

"Actually, there is no need to be sorry. It happened a long time ago. I have long forgotten it. If a person wants to live a long life, he must learn to let go. It is too painful to carry too much burden. I also used it for many years Only then did I understand the truth." Wu Nanming said with a smile. "It's relatively quiet there. Are you interested in sitting down and listening to my story?"

Fan Jiannan nodded silently and followed behind him. Wu Nanming said slowly, "You may have noticed that I used to be a sorcerer. Speaking of which, I also have something to do with the divination practitioners among the Wushu people. But I can only It can be regarded as a collateral branch, far inferior to your ancient three styles."

"Then how did you become an immortal?" Fan Jiannan asked suspiciously, "Is it through a certain method or some kind of medicine?"

Wu Nanming laughed and said, "Actually, I'm also very curious about this matter. I don't know what's going on. I spent almost 100 years researching this problem. The final answer may be some kind of witchcraft side effects. As for what kind of witchcraft it is, even I can't figure it out myself."

"How could this be?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's true. Didn't I tell you? I'm from the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the Rebel Army of the Ming Dynasty took action and fought everywhere. The Mongols at that time were superstitious about some kind of shamanism. According to them, when Genghis Khan was rampant in the world, it was It relied on this kind of weird and evil witchcraft. However, with the rise of Quanzhen Taoism, this kind of evil witchcraft that required the sacrifice of living people was once banned. Just seeing the decline of the Yuan Dynasty, some people resumed this dangerous witchcraft." Wu Nanming With a wry smile, "I was captured during the war as a victim."

"Human blood sacrifice?" Fan Jiannan said in surprise.

"Yes, and there were a lot of them. At that time, they believed that the more people killed by this kind of witchcraft, the better the effect would be. So a large number of such bloody and cruel sacrifices were carried out. And the status of the Han people was underground at that time, so naturally It became this kind of sacrifice." Wu Nanming said with a wry smile. "It's just that something happened during the witchcraft."

"What is it?" Fan Jiannan asked.

"Some kind of abnormal celestial phenomenon caused the sorcery to not be fully completed. And almost everyone at the scene was stunned." Wu Nanming frowned, "Later, this incident was recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty. This is classified as a meteorite strike."

"Then what happened later?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"I picked up a life from the ruins, and then I began to find that my situation became a little strange," Wu Nanming said in a low voice, "At first it was like ordinary insomnia, and then it gradually developed to not sleeping all day and all night , and my energy has always been very strong." Wu Nanming said slowly, "Since then, I have started to change."

"So, you just discovered those witch scripts by a coincidence?" Fan Jiabutton frowned, "I don't believe that again. How could it be such a coincidence?"

"It's not easy to explain things in this world clearly." Wu Nanming said with a smile. "Do you still want to continue listening?"

"If you are interested in speaking, I am interested in listening." Fan Jiannan frowned.

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "After realizing the difference in myself, I began to hide my identity carefully, and then went back to hiding my name. I carefully studied everything about that witchcraft, and finally I made some discoveries."

"What discovery?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise.

"I found that the so-called shamanism is actually some kind of magic ritual. And it didn't come from any shamanism, but was similar to the witchcraft in the Western Regions at that time. I even doubted that the one who performed the ceremony for the Mongolian monarch was People, in fact, are not shamans, but an organization of magicians from Europe." Wu Nanming said calmly.

"Shengzhang Brotherhood." The expression on Fan Jiannan's face changed.
