Fortune Teller

"Girl, if you were just a mortal, I would naturally not teach you the Dharma. But in the future, if you want to become an immortal and seek enlightenment, you must first understand the chapter on seeking truth."

The white-haired young man glanced at the brown paper in the girl's hand.

"The only way to understand the Taoist scriptures is to use the deduction method. I don't have much time. In the next few days, you must practice seriously and never slack off."

"Brother Cherish Your Life, I understand!"

The girl nodded solemnly.

…

Deep in Kunwu Mountain.

Sharp arrows were shot out one after another, and the beasts hiding in the forest were pierced by the sharp arrows and fell into a pool of blood.

"Hurry up and send all these beasts to the altar." Warriors in powerful attire quickly walked out, put the dying beasts into sacks and took them away.

This scene appeared all over the Kunwu Mountains at the same time. It seemed that thousands of warriors were frantically hunting wild beasts.

Kunwu Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, and there are rumors that immortals have been stationed there for generations. The beasts bred in it are also quite spiritual. As they die in mourning, the whole mountain is shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

As the saying goes, the sky sends murderous intentions, stars change places, the earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the ground, humans send murderous intentions, and the heaven and earth turn upside down.

The vision in Kunwu Mountain made the white-haired young man frown, and even his practice stopped. He was deducing the hexagrams every day, looking for that glimmer of hope.

"Mr. Xi Ming, Master Qin invites you to come." The voice of the maid suddenly came from outside the palace.

"Girl, you stay here and continue to practice. You must keep in mind the Gou Chen Jue I taught you today." The white-haired young man warned and left in a hurry.

"Brother cherish your life, come back soon." The girl shouted.

Not far from the palace, there is a manually dug valley. The valley is in the shape of a trigram, and it progresses layer by layer. The deepest part is already filled with dead beasts.

"Sir, as you asked, we invited countless heroes from the rivers and lakes to capture wild animals day and night, and finally filled the first layer." Qin Baishou said with a smile.

There was a river of blood in the valley ahead, and countless beast corpses were lying in it. If others saw this scene, they would be so scared that their legs and feet would tremble and they would be unable to walk.

But the white-haired young man and Qin Baishou looked indifferent.

"It's not enough. If you want to open the horoscope, you need at least 3,000 ferocious beasts. However, there are only 1,642 beast corpses in the valley, among which there are many pheasants and hares. Didn't I tell Qin "Master, can only ferocious beasts be used for sacrifice?" The white-haired young man said with a deep look, "Master Qin, there are only seven days left. If you can't get enough ferocious beasts, I can't help you."

The corner of Qin Baishou's mouth couldn't help but twitch. A few years ago, his lifespan had come to an end. If the white-haired young man had not violated the taboo and used elixir to help him live longer, Qin Baishou would have been a pile of bones by now. .

"Can't we postpone it for a few days?" Qin Baishou asked.

"Absolutely not. I can only suppress Gu Yatou's ice snake poison for another seven days. After seven days, I must turn on the horoscope." The white-haired young man stared at the long-bearded old man, "Master Qin, I know what you are planning. , but I have my own rules for acting. I am the one who caused Gu Yatou’s poison, and I must save her life.”

After saying this, the white-haired young man turned and left, leaving only the long-bearded old man with a frown on his face.

"This life-loving person is really out of his mind. A mere little girl, what can be done to save her?" Qin Baishou was puzzled, "And the life astrolabe, since we already knew it was hidden in the Forbidden Palace of Guifang Kingdom, Why not just take it out and go to all the trouble to let Gu Yuncong steal it? "

In fact, when he first saw the girl next to the white-haired young man, Qin Baishou already knew who she was. Ice snake venom is so rare. How could such a strange poison be found without the help of the richest man in the world?

"I really don't know what he is thinking about?" Qin Baishou's eyes flashed with anger.

…

After the white-haired young man left the valley, he did not rush back to the palace, but walked all the way to the foot of the mountain.

"Qin Baishou, this old guy, really thinks that I don't know that he has secretly raised a group of ferocious beasts?" The white-haired young man whispered to himself.

If you rely on the horoscope to extend your life, you have to bear great karma. If there are not thousands of beasts' lives as sacrifices, the white-haired young man and Qin Baishou will have to bear this karma alone.

The huge backlash of the power of heaven and earth was definitely not something that the two of them could resist.

After countless deductions, the white-haired young man has determined that for every life of one person, a thousand beasts must be sacrificed. If it was just him and Qin Baishou, only two thousand beasts would be needed.

But if he wanted to save Gu Yue's life, he would have to search for a thousand more ferocious beasts.

Perhaps in Qin Baishou's view, a girl he has never met is dead, so why should he care?

But the white-haired young man didn't want to. He had made countless calculations in his life, but he had never owed anyone anything but Gu Yue.

The ice snake poison in the girl's body was caused by him. If he could not save the girl, he would feel uneasy. In addition, the white-haired young man would not be able to repay this kind of kindness even if he spent his whole life.

That's why he taught everyone the art of deduction. All he wanted was peace of mind.

Changing his destiny against the will of heaven was his biggest obsession after awakening the divine power of the Destiny Clan, but this obsession could never be filled with innocent lives.

Those jackals, tigers and leopards often hurt people's lives. The young man didn't care if they died, but Gu Yatou was kind-hearted and shouldn't die for herself.

…

The white-haired young man's mind was wandering, and before he knew it, he had reached the foot of the mountain.

He stopped and looked at the dense forest ahead, his eyes calm again.

At this moment, the sound of blades of grass suddenly sounded, and an old man with a withered face walked out of the woods and landed in front of the white-haired young man. "Sir, I have been waiting for a long time. I ran day and night and killed eight horses. I finally arrived." Kunwu Mountain.”

This old man was covered in dust and dust, but he could not hide the strong energy in his body. Who else could have such power besides Gu Yuncong?

"I'm relieved that Mr. Gu is back safe and sound!" The white-haired young man's eyes fell on the old man's shoulders.

There was a faint bulge in the linen bundle.

He has always had the supernatural ability to understand the secrets of heaven, but for some reason, he just couldn't see through the linen cloth.

"Sir, I searched for a long time in the Forbidden Palace of Guifang Kingdom and finally found the destiny star chart." With that said, the old man opened the bag and revealed a simple stone plate.

The white-haired young man looked intently.

I saw stone beads inlaid on the stone plate, like stars, covering the entire stone plate. The young man glanced at it carefully, trying to count the number of stars on the stone plate, but he felt dizzy and couldn't find it. count.

"What a weird life astrolabe, it is truly a life-sustaining treasure," the white-haired young man took a deep breath, "Mr. Gu, we can't use this thing for the time being. We have to wait for a few more days. Why don't you follow me to Mr. Qin first?" rest at his house.”

"That's fine." Gu Yuncong put the stone plate back into the baggage.
