Chapter 455 The Perfect Plan
"So, even though you are underground, you know everything outside." Fan Jiannan looked at the old man and said.

The old man nodded, "Yes, the hexagrams I have learned are very special. It is difficult to hide what I want to know, and the council has always been more informed than other organizations. So I know about the Witchcraft Federation , I also know the purpose of your coming here."

"So, you are the one who listed my father as the highest threat to the council. I think what you have done is not just putting him on a list, right?" Fan Jiannan looked at him coldly.

"I have mixed feelings about your father. It wasn't because he sent me to the seventh floor, nor was it because I sympathized with his misfortune. You know, as a divinator, I have already underestimated people's joys, sorrows and joys. Fu, even my own. So I can analyze everything in this world more rationally." The old man pondered, "I once proposed to let him be the chairman of the council and become the fourth director of the council. , but he refused."

"That's why he became a threat, right?" Fan Jiannan stared at the old man and said.

"I admire your father very much. In the industry of divination masters, I rarely admire others, but he is an exception." The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "He is like a sharp knife, not only can make his opponent Shyness can also hurt those around him. If we can't master such a person, then he is a potential threat to us. I used to think so, and I still think so now."

"Then what else did you do besides spying on him?" Fan Jiannan shouted coldly.

The old man said indifferently, "I once advocated getting rid of him. Because he has suffered too many setbacks and injuries, his character is too rebellious, and he has too much ability. The council is a threat. However, you know that your uncle will never agree to this, and that is why I am imprisoned."

"If you can really count everything, why didn't you count yourself imprisoned?" Fan Jiannan said slowly.

The old man glanced at him and said with a smile, "No matter how powerful a divination master is, he is still a human being. Just like a shrewd businessman, it is impossible to calculate all the time. Do I have to do a divination before eating to predict whether it will be good or not?" You will be choked; when you go to the toilet, you have to do a divination first to see if you will be constipated? The divination master is a divination, and the prophet who does not predict is not a divination master but a myth."

"That's a good explanation, but why did you count me in? The behind-the-scenes decision-maker of the council, there are so many things that deserve your attention. Why do you pay attention to a small person like me?" Fan Jiannan smiled slightly.

The old man froze for a moment, then laughed again, "It is said that Fan Jiannan is a cunning guy, and it is true. You have been tricking me for a long time, so you are just waiting to ask me this question?"

Fan Jiannan shrugged, not saying yes or no, but his eyes kept looking at this mysterious old man.

"Yes, you are indeed the person I am most concerned about right now. Because you have no idea what kind of dangerous situation you are in." The old man said slowly.

"Dangerous? Are you saying that there is something dangerous in the seven underground floors?" Fan Jiannan frowned slightly.

The old man shook his head and said, "What is the danger of the seventh floor underground? It is true that the most vicious and dangerous magicians in the world are imprisoned here, but even so, their danger is still within the controllable range. Because the underground The seven layers are unbreakable, and their danger can never extend to the surface. I'm talking about another thing."

"Another thing, could it be..." Fan Jiannan narrowed his eyes.

The old man nodded, "It's the number of days incident. You don't understand what kind of incident you are involved in at all, and you don't understand the role you play in the number of days incident."

"The European Federation of Witchcraft is trying to destroy the entire art world, but I just want to prevent this from happening." Fan Jiannan said silently for a while.

"May I ask, is your purpose for doing this?" the old man said slowly.

"Because I am also a magician." Fan Jiannan replied.

"So what? The general trend of the world cannot be stopped by personal power. Throughout history, as many dynasties have changed, the world of the magician has also experienced ups and downs. As a magician, he must first be a person, and a wise person The reason why the number of days is called the number of days is because all this is destined to happen and cannot be changed. The ability of a magician can change a person's fate, but it cannot change the general trend." The old man sighed.

"Why, do you also think that the number of days cannot be changed? If a person wants to accept a pre-determined fate, what's the use of a heave master like us? And as the first director of the council, don't you always swear that you are a magician? Interests?" Fan Jiannan said in a deep voice.

The old man sighed and said, "What you said is not wrong. But you don't know that you and another person are the key to unlocking the number of days event. We designed this game to make you also trapped in the Seventh Underground. layer."

"What do you mean?" Fan Jiannan asked with a change of expression.

"It's hard to explain this thing for a while, so let me give you the simplest example. Have you ever eaten scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" The old man thought for a while.

Fan Jiannan nodded.

"To make a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, you must first have two elements, tomatoes and eggs. Then you can cook a dish with seasoning and heat. Similarly, to achieve one thing, you must also meet such conditions. To Only when there is a specific time, a specific place, and even some specific people involved, can an event be fully interpreted. This is the case with the number of days event." The old man looked at him and said.

"Can you explain it more clearly? Don't let me guess." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I find it very difficult to talk to you."

"I have made it clear enough. A specific time, within two years. A specific place, is the special geographical coordinate that the Witchcraft Federation is now desperately trying to find, which is what the ancient Indians believed to be the location of Shiva." The palace. And the special person is the chief wizard, La Hughes, and two other people, one of whom is you!" The old man's eyes flashed.

"It's impossible! I wanted to stop La Hughes, so how could this be facilitated instead?" Fan Jiannan shook his head.

"This is going back to the topic we started at the beginning, the impermanence and helplessness of fate. Have you heard the story of Oedipus?" The old man sighed slightly.

"It should be a Greek mythology, but I don't know very well." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"There is such a prophecy in ancient Greek mythology. The newborn child of the king of Thebes, Oedipus, will one day kill his father and marry his mother. The king of Thebes was shocked by this prophecy Extremely desperate, he ordered the baby to be discarded on the mountain.

But a shepherd found him and gave him to the king of a neighboring country as his son. The old man said with a wry smile, "Guess what happened later?" "

"Did the prophecy come true?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes, Oedipus did not know who his real parents were. When he grew up he did many heroic deeds and won Queen Jocasta as his wife. Only after the plague in the country did he know that many years ago he The one traveler he killed was his father, and the one who is now sharing the bed with him is his mother. In the end, King Oedipus was so ashamed, he blinded his eyes, left Thebes, and wandered alone .” The old man said slowly, “This is destiny!”

"Then what is the significance of this story?" Fan Jiannan whispered.

"What is doomed is what is doomed. Regardless of the subjective wishes of the parties, there will only be one purpose in the end." The old man said slowly, "In my hexagram, there are three people, and one is the chief wizard Raxiu. Si, one of the other two people is you, and the other is Jiazi Xun. If you stay away from this matter, the number of days event may not come true. But this matter is like a magic spell, attracting you in."

"You mean we tried everything we could to stop it, but in the end it will make it happen instead?" Fan Jiannan said in disbelief.

"That's right. Not only do I think so, but your father, as an equally powerful hexagram master, also thinks so. You will not forget that your grandfather forcibly changed your life when you were very young, and tried his best to teach you You use hexagrams. After you grow up, your father has always opposed you to use hexagrams. Because at that time, he already had a faint worry in his heart. But his worries have come true now." The old man sneered .

"This is just your side story, I find it hard to believe." Fan Jiannan shook his head with a pale face.

"Listen to me. Your father is arrogant by nature. If it wasn't for you, would he still stay in India? With his personality, even if the art world is really coming to an end, he will definitely stand on the sidelines. If those people If you don't provoke him, he will definitely not stand up to those European wizards. But what about now? If it wasn't for you, would he still stay in India to deal with those people?" The old man sneered. "You should know his character better than me."

Fan Jiannan was silent, he had to admit that what the old man said made sense.But it is difficult for him to connect himself with the number of days event. Does this matter really have any mysterious connection with him? Is there really a predetermined number of days in the dark?
The old man seemed to see his doubts, and said with a sneer, "I have long been aware of the Witchcraft Federation's intentions, but I have not taken action for a long time. I even deliberately put your father as the biggest threat to the council, and through Xie Feier I will reveal it to you. It is because I am sure that you will be puzzled, and I am also sure that you will come to me to find out. Now, my goal has been achieved. You are already on the seventh floor of the basement just like me. As long as you are locked here, the number of days event lacks a key factor. Whether it will work or not is hard to say."

"The perfect plan, intertwined and without any trace, made me take the initiative to throw myself into the trap. The ridiculous thing is that I am still looking for how to take Zhang Qiulie out." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "The first member of the Yishu Council As a director, I really learned the lesson. But you still miscalculated one thing."

"Oh? What else?" The old man said calmly.

"I will definitely go out and bring Zhang Qiulie with me." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "Also, I will definitely stop the Tianshu incident."
