Xingtie, the lazy girl wants to rebel

Qingque suddenly felt something was wrong:

"That……"

"What does Master Taibu mean?"

"It's easy!"

"As long as you volunteer to stay and work overtime every day, I don't mind teaching you some knowledge about formations during your breaks..."

104

Chapter 104 The past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and glorious.

"what?"

Qingque's face suddenly showed a tense expression of "as expected", and his whole body began to exude an air of helplessness.

So after all this talk, wasn't Fu Xuan just announcing that she would have to work overtime without pay? ...

Can she just pluck the wool from a single green bird? ...

"Ok?"

Just as Qingque was silently complaining in his heart, Fu Xuan's cold eyes swept over, and the pressure in his tone was clearly revealed:

"Qingque, do you have any opinions on my arrangements?"

Hearing this, Qingque's heart tightened immediately, as if Fu Xuan had used her throat as a dynamometer. Her will to survive instantly surged. She quickly put on a flattering smile, her tone flustered and sincere:

"Opinion?……"

"No! No! How could I have any objection?..."

"I volunteered to work overtime!"

"Really! Your arrangement is so reasonable! So reasonable that I have nothing to say..."

Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qingque, as if to confirm whether she was saying one thing and doing another. After a moment, she finally snorted coldly and nodded slightly:

"Hmph, I'm glad you knew..."

……

When Qingque returned to her workstation, she was obviously feeling a little heavy.

She knew that starting today, she would have to work even harder after already working late every day.

I will stay in Taipusi until later every day...

When she thought of this, the pent-up emotions in her heart became more intense, and the desire to start fighting began to constantly tempt her in the depths of her mind...

But this emotion did not affect Qingque for too long.

As a chosen worker, she had long ago learned the skill of blocking out her personal emotions at work.

Therefore, after her inner explosion subsided, Qingque calmly picked up the document next to her as if nothing had happened and began to handle her daily work efficiently.

However, although emotions can be temporarily suppressed, the physiological reactions they produce are not so easy to fool.

When it was time for lunch, the fortune tellers in the Taibu Division came to the canteen inside the division and replenished their energy with their work meals.

Qingque and Fu Xuan were naturally not treated specially. They came to the cafeteria like ordinary fortune tellers.

However, Qingque did not need to get the meal, but just borrowed the equipment in the cafeteria to heat up the lunch box prepared for her by Heita.

Unfortunately, although the lunch box that Heita carefully prepared for her tasted like a state banquet, its nutrition was impeccable.

However, Qingque seemed to have no appetite because of his mood.

So I just took a few bites of food at my seat and then quietly put down my chopsticks...

……

After dinner, Fu Xuan and Qingque returned to their workstations to continue working.

As time passed, it soon came to late at night, even later than Qingque's usual working hours.

Finally, at this moment, Fu Xuan raised her head from behind her desk and said to Qingque, who was even a little sleepy:

"Qingque, come here..."

Qingque's heart moved, and her sleepiness was instantly swept away. She quickly stood up and walked quickly to Fu Xuan's desk.

"It seems that the teaching should begin..."

Qingque thought to himself and tried hard to make himself look energetic.

Then, at Fu Xuan's request, Qingque moved a chair and sat next to Fu Xuan.

But after Qingque sat down, Fu Xuan did not get straight to the point.

Instead, he took out a piece of white paper from the drawer on the table, picked up a pen, and wrote the words "Ten Directions of Light Reflect the Dharma Realm" on it.

She tapped the paper lightly with one of her slender fingers, then turned to Qingque:

"As the saying goes, if the name is not right, then the words will not flow..."

"Do you know why this formation is called this name?..."

"what?"

Hearing Fu Xuan's question, Qingque shook his head like a rattle.

This was not Qingque trying to fool Fu Xuan, but Qingque himself was really troubled by the naming habits of the fairy boats.

Because in Qingque's opinion, the names of many things on the fairy boat have a sense of being ancient just for the sake of being ancient.

Just like the words "Xingcha" and "Juelun", it seems that without using some difficult-to-pronounce uncommon words, the immortal boat will be in chaos and the night will last forever.

Apart from increasing the barriers to information exchange, Qingque couldn't think of any other meaning these names had...

Fu Xuan saw her shaking her head, and he didn't mean to blame Qingque. Instead, he began to patiently analyze the words for her:

"First, the two words [Ten Directions]..."

"It actually refers to the ten directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest, up, and down..."

"In the understanding of the ancients, these ten directions already encompassed all directions of the universe."

“So, it later extended to mean ‘covering everything’.”

"And the name of this formation here borrows its extended meaning to indicate that the divination range of this formation is so large that it encompasses the entire universe..."

"Oh……"

Qingque immediately acted as if he had suddenly realized something.

Although she essentially didn't care what the formation was called.

But with Fu Xuan by her side, how could she not dare to be more proactive?

Even if it was just pretense! She had to fully demonstrate her emotional value as a student in front of Fu Xuan! ...

Afterwards, Qingque showed an eager look and asked Fu Xuan:

"Then, Master Fu Xuan, I wonder what this [Light Reflection] means?..."

Hearing Qingque's question, Fu Xuan suddenly fell silent for a while, as if he was immersed in memories of the past.

Afterwards, Fu Xuan looked at Qingque with a look full of emotion, and then replied:

"The diviner's way of divination is always to pursue the four words 'Learn from the past and know the future'."

"Although the pain of the past cannot be changed, the future still has infinite possibilities..."

"The past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and glorious..."

"What we diviners can do is draw strength from the bleak history of the past, so as to realize our wish of guiding the immortal ship onto a smooth path."

"And this [Light Reflection] means brilliant brightness..."

"Oh……"

Although Qingque's look of sudden realization did not change, this time she was obviously less perfunctory in her heart.

Why does the soothsayer's ability to predict the future seem to have a hint of sorrow and hope? ...

Chapter 105 Why don’t you stay here tonight?

Seeing Qingque's teachable and attentive appearance, Fu Xuan nodded with some satisfaction, and then finished explaining the name:

"As for the final [Dharma Realm], this is actually just Yuque Xianzhou's usual wording style..."

"It's essentially the same as the meaning of [Magic Circle]."

"It's just that in order to highlight the pattern, a more grand expression is adopted..."

Then, Fu Xuan put down the pen in his hand, looked into Qingque's eyes and concluded:

"In short, the name of this formation itself already reflects, to some extent, the divination concept of the Jade Que Immortal Boat."

"Only when you truly understand this can you comprehend the true significance of this formation..."

When Qingque heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, not quite understanding what she meant.

Although Qingque was still confused about the concept of Yuque, Fu Xuan's explanation made him interested in the way the ten directions of light reflected the Dharma Realm.

So Qingque blinked a few times and asked expectantly:

"Lord Fu Xuan!"

"I heard that this formation was replicated in the department a long time ago."

"Then tonight, can you give me a chance to see it with my own eyes?"

"What are you thinking about!..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Qingque:

"Now you study your theory diligently!"

"The biggest taboo for fortune-tellers is impetuousness!"

"You haven't even understood the basic principles yet, and you're so eager to read it. What can you possibly understand?"

Hearing this, Qingque was so shocked that he dared not even breathe. He could only nod his head, showing an appearance of humbly accepting instruction.

"Uh... Master Fu Xuan's teaching is..."

"I understand……"

Seeing that Qingque's attitude was barely decent, Fu Xuan also regained his temper and said coldly:

"If you understand, stop interrupting and continue listening to my lecture!"

Afterwards, Fu Xuan began to explain in detail to Qingque the principles and structure of [Ten Directions Light Reflecting the Dharma Realm].

She started with the core logic of the formation and analyzed it layer by layer:

From how the nodes in the array are distributed, to the specific role of each node, to how the synchronization mechanism transfers energy and information between different locations.

Fu Xuan's explanation was easy to understand and clear, and whenever Qingque expressed doubts, she was always able to resolve the problem in time with appropriate metaphors.

It's obvious that she must have carefully prepared for tonight's lecture...

Although Qingque felt a little tired and irritable at the beginning, as the explanation progressed, she was inevitably gradually convinced by Fu Xuan's knowledge.

Finally, Qingque couldn't help but ask some tricky but to-the-point questions.

As soon as these questions were asked, Fu Xuan's opinion of Qing Que secretly rose a little.

Because being able to keenly notice where the key problems lie is an extremely rare talent...

In this way, the teaching session between the two of them continued for several hours, with occasional pauses for questions and answers.

Both of them unknowingly fell into an obsession with knowledge, completely unaware of the passage of time...

It was not until Fu Xuan felt her throat getting dry that she inadvertently glanced at the electronic watch on the table and was surprised to find that it was already past two in the morning!

I can only stop for a while...

Tomorrow... I still have to go to work today...
