Hard to be a master

Divination is not a compulsory subject for practitioners, and this way requires extremely high talent for practitioners. In addition, it is not like kendo techniques that can be improved through diligent practice, so practitioners who study divination are not There are many, and the monks who can really spy on the destiny and understand the past and future are even rarer.Among the people Shen Ziliu knew, only Liu Siqing had learned the way of divination and was keen on it, but Liu Siqing's unreliable divination was well known in Kunlun, and he was almost never seen to be right, which shows the depth of this way.

Shen Ziliu is very clear that he does have troubles, but he has always covered them up very well. Even Guan Jingxuan, who has been with him day and night, has not noticed anything strange. He doesn't want to be seen through by a monk who has never met before—of course, the other party may just say it casually. I guessed right by mistake.But since Jiuli dared to boast, maybe he did have some real skills.Shen Ziliu thought to himself that there is nothing to do anyway, and Jiuli doesn't know him, so it's okay to see him, so he agreed, "Then I'll help you, senior."

Jiuli moved the tea set aside to make room for the center of the stone table. He took out a small purple hair, a bamboo tube and a piece of slightly yellowed paper from his sleeve and arranged them one by one. After clicking it, I saw that the originally intact bamboo tube suddenly cracked two fine cracks.Jiuli stretched out his middle finger and index finger to press on the top of the bamboo tube and gently slid along the crack, and a piece of the bamboo tube was pulled out, revealing the liquid like clear water contained in it.

Shen Ziliu originally thought that Jiuli was going to ask him some basic questions, but the latter just dipped the brush in the bamboo tube, and then handed him the brush: "Please write down any word, as long as it is related to what you want to divination. You can ask anyone about anything.”

Shen Ziliu took the brush, thought for a while and wrote down a correct word "An".The originally transparent liquid showed a thick ink color after touching the paper.

After Shen Ziliu finished writing, Jiuli took the writing brush he handed back and put it aside, dipped the middle finger of his right hand into the bamboo tube three times, and then flicked his fingers, flicking the water on his fingertips to the word "An".Afterwards, I saw the word "An" slowly smudged from the place where it was hit by the water drop, as if the drop of water dropped and the whole paper turned into a puddle of water.The color of the ink surged and changed on the paper, and after a while, it slowly condensed into another word - "Forbidden".

Shen Ziliu frowned slightly as he looked at the word "Forbidden".

When the ink on the paper solidified, Jiu Li waved his hand, and the words on the paper disappeared.After putting away the divination tools, Jiuli brewed two cups of tea again, handed a cup to Shen Ziliu, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"Young fellow Daoist came from Kunlun, and he was far away from his parents and relatives since he was a child. Lingtang has passed away for many years, and his father is still alive, but the relationship between father and son has been broken. He was rescued by others in a catastrophe. Well... this person should be yours now Master. It's been less than ten years since I practiced it—Young fellow Daoist is very gifted, and you can form a golden core in less than ten years."

Listening to Jiuli's eloquence, Shen Ziliu was slightly surprised.

Seeing this, Jiuli smiled and said: "It seems that I did not make a mistake. As for the troubles of fellow daoists..."

Shen Ziliu's hands on his knees curled up unconsciously, and his heart suddenly became a little nervous. He wanted to hear Jiuli continue, and wanted to stop him from continuing, but he still didn't speak.

Jiuli closed his eyes and rubbed the teacup in his hand, then raised his eyebrows suddenly, opened his eyes and gave Shen Ziliu a subtle look, and said slowly: "You have someone you care about very much, or... someone you love, Because of your status, you don't dare to let the other party know your intentions, but you can't control yourself... If there is no accident, this person is your master."

Shen Ziliu, who was disturbed, pursed his lips, and subconsciously avoided Jiuli's suddenly sharp eyes. His whole body was a little stiff, and he also regretted agreeing to Jiuli's divination for him.

After a moment of silence, Jiuli returned to his previous soft look, and said: "The word 'forbidden' is a suggestion to you. If you want to maintain the status quo, you'd better hide your longing and dispel the words of your master." Qi Nian."

Hearing this, Shen Ziliu couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

It's the best course of action he knows!Of course he knows!But if a person's emotions can be freely retracted, he won't be so troubled.

"But...the word 'forbidden' has another interpretation."

Shen Ziliu looked up at Jiuli, only to see that the other party smiled meaningfully.

"Severing one's thoughts is the safest way, but it is also the most negative way. Regardless of whether you can do it, even if you retreat ten thousand steps today to seek a momentary companionship, in the future if your master is in love with others If you are happy with each other, what should you do? Don't you regret it?"

Shen Ziliu moved his lips, but still didn't say a word.

Jiu Li took a sip of tea and said: "What you are worried about is that you will not get good results after confessing your heart, be alienated by your master, and even lose some privileges that you can enjoy as an apprentice, but this will not solve the problem. Take Yun If Shangzun and Zichuan Shangzun are an example, the current relationship between the two of them can be said to have not achieved good results. From outsiders, Zichuan Shangzun violated the filial piety of his disciples, and Yunruo Shangzun also avoided him and hated him, but in fact Zichuan Shangzun also avoided him and hated him. Chuan Shangzun's proactive attack did not result in nothing. Yun Ruo Shangzun's ability to let go and make such an agreement with Zi Chuan Shangzun is the best proof."

Shen Ziliu frowned slightly: "I can't afford this risk."

"Any reward is risky, not to mention that I didn't tell you to tell your master right now." Jiu Li leaned his upper body slightly forward and approached Shen Ziliu, and said in a deep voice: "There is still a solution to the word 'forbidden' , for the meaning of 'imprisonment'. When a person's body and mind are unique to you, he will naturally be inseparable from you."

Seeing the surprise on Shen Ziliu's face, Jiuli sat up straight, smiled slightly and said, "Young fellow Daoist doesn't seem like someone who will fall in love with others easily, then you should know that the person who can make you fall in love with him must also be easy to fall in love with." others fall in love with."

Hearing what Jiuli said, Ling Xifeng's figure jumped out of Shen Ziliu's mind almost immediately. Although Guan Jingxuan clearly said that the two are just friends, in Shen Ziliu's view, Ling Xifeng's attitude towards Guan Jingxuan is by no means just friends .

"However, the so-called 'imprisonment' does not mean that you trap him around, but that you occupy his time and space, eliminate those who try to distract him, so that he can only see you and hear you." You think.Be tough when necessary, or use the other party's intolerance and reluctance, maybe it will have a miraculous effect. "

Shen Ziliu frowned frequently, although Jiu Li's tone and expression were still gentle, but what he said was somewhat dangerous.

Looking at the change in Shen Ziliu's expression, Jiuli gave a "poof" laugh, and said, "Little fellow daoist seems surprised? I never said that I am a good person who follows the rules."

"..." Shen Ziliu adjusted his mood, and said, "Why did senior give such a suggestion?"

Jiuli chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm, and said: "Because I made a wrong choice once, and I regret it until now. Anyone can explain the principles of justice, and those so-called ethics are just used by the world to restrain Others’ excuses, why let others enjoy the quickness of the tongue, but let yourself taste the bitter fruit?”
