Black Myth: You and I are both destined

The scholar in white was very stylish. He looked around as soon as he sat down at the stall.

Yuan Shoucheng was well prepared and sat quietly waiting for him to speak.

The scholar in white looked arrogant and tapped the stall casually a few times with a black paper fan in a pretentious manner.

"I heard that you are a divine fortune teller, so I came here today to ask for your advice."

The scholar in white had no intention of hiding anything, and anyone could tell that he was looking for trouble, but Yuan Shoucheng answered calmly.

"What do you want to ask?"

Seeing that Yuan Shoucheng didn't even know what he wanted to ask, the scholar in white laughed triumphantly!

"Hahahaha!"

"Can't you figure it out, sir?"

"I just saw that there has been no rain in Chang'an City recently, so I wanted to ask when it will rain next time."

Yuan Shoucheng did not care about the other party's ridicule, but counted with his fingers and gave an accurate answer.

"Tomorrow at Chen time, clouds will appear, at Si time, thunder will come, at Wu time, it will rain, and at Wei time, it will rain heavily."

"The total amount of water is three feet, three inches and forty-eight points."

"Hahahahaha!"

Hearing Yuan Shoucheng's answer, the scholar in white laughed even more. He had seen people calculating the time of rain, but he had never seen people calculating the number of raindrops.

He smiled crookedly, left his seat, stood on the street and looked at the fortune-telling stall again, his face full of disdain.

"Yuan Shoucheng, if you can calculate correctly, I will give you fifty taels of gold."

"If you don't allow me to do so, I will smash your stall, and you will get out of Chang'an City and never come back!"

Yuan Shoucheng smiled but said nothing, but Tianming understood clearly.

The scholar in white before him was transformed by the Dragon King of the Jing River. As the Dragon God in charge of rain and the chief manager of the eight rivers, it was his job to control the clouds and rain. No one knew more about making it rain than him.

After the Jinghe Dragon King left, Tianming asked.

"Don't you monks not tell lies? Why did you lie to him?"

Guanyin replied with a smile.

"We didn't lie to him. He just didn't ask clearly."

Tianming knew that he had no right to argue, so he just asked silently: "Is it destiny?"

This time Guanyin did not answer, perhaps because he himself did not ask clearly.

Tianming looked at the dried golden carp in the bamboo basket and thought: According to them, this fish was killed by itself, so it can't be considered a sin of killing.

It seems that even gods and Buddhas think that lies work better most of the time.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in the original version of Journey to the West, the Dragon King of Jinghe River once said.

"My sister has nine sons, eight of them are good. The first one, the little yellow dragon, lives in Huaidu; the second one, the little black dragon, lives in Jidu; the third one, the green-backed dragon, lives in Jiangdu; the fourth one, the red-bearded dragon..."

He remembered that in the game trailer, both the Little Black Dragon and the Red Bearded Dragon had appeared as demonstration bosses.

Could it be that this is where all of this started?

……

After returning to the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of Jinghe River shared his experiences in Chang'an City with his sons and grandsons.

This time he specifically went to cause trouble for Yuan Shoucheng because the Yaksha in the river heard what the fisherman said.

Yaksha said that with people like Yuan Shoucheng, sooner or later they would replenish all the fish and shrimp in his river.

The most important thing is that Yuan Shoucheng also wants a golden carp that can transform into a dragon as a reward for fortune-telling. This is clearly cutting off the future of the Dragon Palace, so the Dragon King went to find him.

His purpose this time was to drive away Yuan Shoucheng and ensure the safety of his descendants.

Just as he was bragging about how he set a trap for Yuan Shoucheng, a messenger from Heaven suddenly came to the Dragon Palace!

The Dragon King of Jinghe River hurried to the temple with his descendants to burn incense and receive the order.

This time, it was the Jade Emperor in Heaven who ordered him to make it rain tomorrow.

'Tomorrow at Chen time, clouds will be spread, at Si time, thunder will sound, at Wu time, it will rain, and at Wei time, the rain will be heavy. A total of three feet, three inches and forty-eight points of water will be spread.'

The content of the decree was exactly the same as what Yuan Shoucheng had calculated. The Dragon King of Jinghe River fell to the ground as if struck by lightning!

The dragons of Jinghe River gathered around him, advising him not to be impulsive and not to damage his dragon body.

……

The next afternoon, it rained heavily, but the time and number of rain points were different from what Yuan Shoucheng had calculated.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River was impulsive and irritable, and he secretly changed the time and frequency of the rain.

Looking at the heavy rain, Guanyin showed a strange smile on his face. His voice was neither male nor female, which made Tianming feel less "respectful" and more "fearful".

"You are here early, man of destiny. Where should you be?"

"You should be in Liusha River? No no no, or Gao Laozhuang?"

"Is it Huaguo Mountain?"

Guanyin's memory was a little confused, but it was obvious that he knew Tianmingren.

Bang!

The pens, inkstones, and buckets on the stall were suddenly thrown to the ground!

The Dragon King of the Jing River, transformed into a scholar in white, came to cause trouble. He pointed at Yuan Shoucheng's nose and cursed!

"You're a liar!"

"Look at what time it is raining now and how much is it raining?"

A large number of people in the city were attracted and watched.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River was in a good mood at the moment. He was going to teach Yuan Shoucheng a lesson today and make him never dare to come back!

What’s the use of fortune-telling even if it is accurate?

He is just a mortal who has a way of prying into the will of heaven. How much rain it will rain is still up to him, the Dragon King of Jinghe River!

Yuan Shoucheng remained unmoved and only pointed it out slowly after he had finished smashing things.

"You violated the Jade Emperor's order, changed the time, and violated the Heavenly Law!"

"You are on that 'Dragon Slashing Platform', and you are bound to be stabbed. Why are you still scolding me here?"

After hearing this, the Dragon King of Jinghe River immediately stopped smashing things and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Only the Dragon King of Jinghe River knew about the secret deduction of time points.

He thought Yuan Shoucheng was a mortal, but the other party could see his identity and set up a trap for him here. He could even decide what punishment he would be sentenced to. The secret can only be understood!

"Master! I know I was wrong!"

"Please, Master, save my life!"

The Dragon King of Jinghe River kowtowed repeatedly, but Yuan Shoucheng made no gesture and was reluctant to answer.

Upon seeing this, Tianming grabbed the Dragon King of Jinghe River.

"You knew that he was setting a trap to harm you, but you still begged him?"

When the Dragon King of Jinghe River heard this, he was stunned at first, then immediately shook off Tianming and continued to kowtow.

"I don't know anything, I didn't hear anything, please help me, Master!"

Yuan Shoucheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Destiny cannot be violated."

Tianming has been hearing these two words these days, as if everything everyone says and does is due to fate!

What exactly is destiny?

Isn’t Guanyin’s mission to find the person who will obtain the scriptures?

But after he came to the Tang Dynasty, he never fulfilled his destiny.

Tianming couldn't figure it out.

But the next moment, Yuan Shoucheng's words gave him a new idea.

"Dragon King, I really can't save you, but you can save yourself."

Hearing these words, the Dragon King kowtowed even faster. He knew that the man in front of him could decide his life or death with just one word.

"Master, please enlighten me!"

Yuan Shoucheng stroked his gray beard and answered "very reluctantly".

"You will be executed at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow under the supervision of Prime Minister Wei Zheng. If you want to live, go and beg Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty."

"As long as he agrees to help you hold back Wei Zheng, you can avoid being executed and stay alive!"
