Dharma

Zhao Yu found that his expression was stagnant and stiff, and finally felt that something was wrong, he let out a sigh: "Brother Li, are you unhappy?" While secretly wondering, did he say the wrong thing?What is wrong?Isn't this a good thing?

Li Xiuzhi still had that tepid look on his face, when he smiled, even Hua was overshadowed: "No."

Zhao Yu looked at him again, "Really? I don't think you look quite right."

"Really not." Li Xiuzhi said with a smile, "You read it wrong."

Zhao Yu scratched his head, frowned, and said, "Brother Li, do you have something to hide from me? If it's about Junshang and Xia Jingge, you might as well say it out, and I'll help you with the details? Anyway, I already know about the two of them. The identity has disappeared."

The smile on Li Xiuzhi's face couldn't hold for a while, but he quickly returned to his usual appearance, "It's really nothing, you think too much."

Zhao Yu saw that he really refused to say anything, so he didn't say anything more, and instead said: "Since it's prepared for Your Majesty, I will do my best to make sure Your Majesty is satisfied....Then I, shall I go first? "

"You go." Li Xiuzhi smiled and waved his hand. When Zhao Yu was far away, the smile on his face finally disappeared completely.

Li Xiuzhi stood there for a while, summoned the flying sword, and arrived at the bamboo forest before.He stopped in front of a clearing.There used to be a bamboo that was dying of old age, but he cut it down preemptively, so there is still a vibrant bamboo forest here, not a dead forest with withered black ash.

Sometimes, Li Xiuzhi felt that his life was somehow related to bamboo, and the important and clear things in his memory always seemed to be related to bamboo, so that he always liked to stay in places with bamboo , Even if there are very few bamboo forests now, there are fewer and fewer places to go.

The irony is that the area where Xia Jingge always stays is more likely to grow into a bamboo forest.

Thinking of Xia Jingge, Li Xiuzhi's mouth felt bitter again.

The misfortune of his life was mostly related to Xia Jingge.

The sect Li Xiuzhi grew up in is the Tianxing sect, a sect of alchemy and arithmetic.The Tianxing school uses the Heluo number as the basis and the astrolabe of destiny as the theory to form a set of methods for deduction of celestial principles and numerology.Because there are too many people in the sect who have seen through too many secrets, they have been hiding in the fifth heaven, have never been involved in the world, and have never recruited disciples, so it was passed down to his generation, and the whole sect only had nine members.

Li Xiuzhi is the youngest. He was picked up by the third senior sister since he was a baby, and has since become the closed disciple of Master Qingsongzi.But as a closed disciple, he is actually a bit of a misnomer, because he has never learned the secret deduction technique in the sect.The master said that he didn't need to learn, he couldn't learn.

The trajectory of his life has been seen through from the moment he was seen by his senior sister when he was a baby.So when he asked about the encounter with his senior sister when he was young, the senior sister said to him: "I knew that I would reap a junior brother that day, so I went to the reserved place early to lay an ambush, and I will hug you when your mother abandons you." Remember that you have returned to the teacher's school." Li Xiuzhi held back for a long time before he asked questions like what if my mother didn't abandon me, but just let me go to relieve her.But this doubt, like a demon planted in his heart.

Later, the master said to him: "You will go to the Demon Realm in the future, so I can't teach you any deduction techniques. You can just learn some cultivation methods of ordinary monks." At that time, Li Xiuzhi asked: "In this case, how can Why did the master accept me as an apprentice again?" "Because you are destined to be my closed disciple." The master sighed sadly.

When it comes to Li Xiuzhi's future fate, Master is always sad.

That day, the master took him to the back mountain to see the blooming bamboo forest. Li Xiuzhi was only fourteen years old, and he had never seen such a scene before, so he said, "I never thought that bamboo would also bloom."

The master said: "Because they are about to die. The bamboo forest blooms, indicating death."

Li Xiuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Master, did you see who is going to die?" Calculating his age carefully, even his third senior sister, who always dresses up like a young girl, is already three hundred years old. When talking about the topic of death, Li Xiuzhi felt a little apprehensive, for fear of being told that some elder had reached his due age.

The master just sighed, patted his head, and said sadly, "It's a big joke that my closed disciple would defect to the Demon Realm."

It has been 14 years, but he still doesn't seem to accept this fateful arrangement, and every time he sighs to the point of emotion, he will inevitably burst into tears.It seemed as if the tenacious moral values ​​he had cultivated over the thousand and eight hundred years of his life had all been shattered by accepting this one disciple.

But he obviously can not be so sad.It's very simple, as long as he was not accepted as a closed disciple at the beginning.

Li Xiuzhi felt uneasy, held back for a few days, and finally asked the senior sister the demon he had been holding back for a long time, and finally added: "What if the destined junior is not me at all, but another boy passing by?"

Senior sister's complexion froze, Li Xiuzhi thought, maybe she didn't foresee that I would ask this question, look, she is not so accurate in everything.In the end, this question ended like this. The senior sister pressed his shoulder earnestly and said: "Little brother, I know it is difficult for you to accept your fate like this, but this kind of mistake is impossible. The accuracy of senior sister's deduction has already Reaching 90.00% nine, it is impossible to become one percent of the senior sister's failure for such an important matter as accepting the younger brother, so you should give up on it."

Li Xiuzhi would like to say that the probability is not divided into big and small, it can happen in case of probability, so what if I am the one in one percent?

No one answered him.

Because the senior sister who was so earnest just now stood up in panic, she looked in the direction of Xitian, and said to Li Xiuzhi, "Look, the moment to test your destiny has come." Li Xiuzhi could see the panic in her heart , He didn't understand, what kind of thing would make the senior sister who is always prophetic and has no freshness in every day feel flustered.

Then the senior sister took off the interspatial bag on her body and handed it to him: "I packed it a few days ago. From now on, this bag will contain all the belongings of our Tianxing faction. You must protect it."

"Senior Sister?" Li Xiuzhi panicked for no reason. "What happened?"

The senior sister stroked his head slowly, as if saying a long farewell.Li Xiuzhi couldn't get her answer, because almost in the blink of an eye, a fairy came from the direction of the west sky.A fairy sent from heaven.This immortal was introduced by his master himself. Before he explained his purpose, Qingsongzi had already said: "We all know the purpose of Shangxian's visit. I am willing to go to heaven with Shangxian. He is less than fifteen years old and doesn't have much aptitude for arithmetic, so he's muddling along, and if he hasn't been taught the art of arithmetic, it's useless to go, so let him stay."

The immortal glanced at Li Xiuzhi and nodded: "The Taoist leader doesn't have to be like this, the noble faction are all loyal people, it is right to leave one."

Li Xiuzhi stayed in this irrefutable way.Of the nine members of the Tianxing faction, he was the only one left.Li Xiuzhi lived alone in the huge Tianxing Palace, talking to himself every day, and the newly planted bamboo forest in the back mountain grew densely again, but he still didn't wait for anyone.

In the third year, when it was a monk he hadn't seen before, instead of someone from his teacher's sect, he knew that he was the only one in the entire Tianxing sect.Otherwise, this monk can't get in.

The monk said, ask him for a favor.

He said that he would help take care of a child for a few years. In exchange, he told his master, uncle, uncle, brothers and sisters what they did in heaven.Li Xiuzhi thought, is this the condition that his senior sister or master told him?Thinking about it like this, he agreed to the monk's condition.

For a while, he felt that he really couldn't break free from the destiny trajectory that his master and senior sister had woven for him.

They know him so well.

Know what he wants to know, know what you can exchange with him.

So when you leave, don't say much.

Just to let him walk on the established trajectory of fate.

Li Xiuzhi took the interspatial bag given to him by his senior sister, took one last look at the lush bamboo forest in the back mountain, and followed the monk down to the world of mortals.On the way, the monk told him that there was something wrong with the horoscope in the sky, and the display was incomplete. In order to see the contents of the horoscope, the heavenly realm put all the usable divination monks on it. Sacrificial in the horoscope deduction room.

Li Xiuzhi then asked: "What is the truth?"

The monk took a deep look at Li Xiuzhi, and said, "The truth is, they can't deduce it, and they can only exchange part of the content with their lives." Li Xiuzhi knew that he had no intention of concealing the truth, maybe it was just to test himself, maybe there was something else what reason.But that doesn't matter anymore.The monk paused for a moment, then sighed, "They're already bewildered."

Li Xiuzhi didn't know if the "they" he was talking about referred to those divination monks who died or the gods in the heavens.He didn't ask.I don't want to ask either.

But he also knew that at least this monk was not that annoying. If he just spent a few years doing him a small favor, it would be fine.

The child was already two or three years old, he didn't recognize the monk, and there was an old man looking after him beside him.The aura on Furen's body belonged to that monk.What the monk asked him to do was simple and simple. He said that he might not have many chances to go to the world of mortals in the future, and asked him to help inject spiritual power into the talisman at regular intervals to support its daily thinking and activities. Scrap it, and he can leave.

The condition for taking care of the child is that he does not want the child to come into contact with any monks or demons during the normal operation of the Furen. If a demon appears or a monk notices the Furen and the child, Li Xiuzhi will help deal with those curious onlookers. Lose.

This is not difficult for Li Xiuzhi.The monks and demons who would hang out in the world of mortals could not have been his opponents.

Then he lived a life in the world of mortals where he set up an enchantment to hide himself and take care of the child.Year after year, I watched the child grow little by little under the teaching of the Furen, until the Furen broke and died like a human being.

During that period, the monk came only five times.Basically once a year, the last time brought a monk who looked like a boy.They still didn't show their faces in front of the child, and they didn't avoid Li Xiuzhi, so they took advantage of his concealment barrier to talk.But there are very few words.

They landed on a wall of that house, watched the child gritted his teeth and fetched water, watched him unable to lift the bucket, could only walk a few steps and moved into the kitchen with rest, watched him cook porridge, fry He also washed the clothes, and watched him feed the sick Furen porridge, medicine, and wipe his body, but it couldn't restore the dying look on the Furen's face.

Furen ended up in the hands of monks.

After he finished the last sentence that the monk wanted him to say, and explained to the child what happened after his death, he was terminated.The conclusion was so crisp and neat that even Li Xiuzhi felt that the monk was a bit cruel.

Why is that so for a child?

It's okay to never come to see him, and let him become an orphan at a young age.Can't you just be a talisman to take care of him?If he doesn't want to spend that effort, he can do it too.

Li Xiu thought about it later, at that time he must have shown an obvious look of unbearable, that's why the monk said to him: "The rest of the road, he has to go by himself. You can go. Thank you all these years."

Li Xiuzhi felt that he couldn't hear much gratitude at all, and he was not very refreshed.

When the child lay on the talisman and cried bitterly, the conversation between the young monk and the young monk began inexplicably.

The young man said: "He is the variable. His name is Feng Fuling."

The boy looked at the child, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Master, how did you find him?"

The young man smiled slightly, and replied, "The moment I saw the name on the horoscope, I found him." The young man showed a puzzled expression, turned his head to look at the young man, and Li Xiuzhi was standing not far away. Hearing that he also turned his head to look at the mysterious monk, but saw him showing a strange smile that could not tell whether it was joy or pain, and sighed, "The moment I saw the name, I knew it was a punishment from heaven..."

What does it mean?

Li Xiuzhi frowned slightly, feeling that he didn't understand.But he thought, that boy should have understood.Because he first showed a look of astonishment, and then showed a look of shock.

The young man didn't have the slightest intention of explaining, he waved his hand, and only said "Go back", then pulled the stunned young monk away.

Until now, many years later, Li Xiuzhi has not figured out what that sentence means.He thought... Probably because he knew too little.

After Fu Ren was buried, Li Xiuzhi did not leave the child. He always thought that he had watched him grow up. He is still young and has no abilities. It would be bad if he met someone bad. had to be watched quietly.

Li Xiuzhi even thought that maybe he could show up and tell him that I have taken care of you for many years, and I can continue to take care of you in the future.

But before he had time to make a decision, the child met two children with demonic aura.One is obviously a demon cultivator, while the other is surrounded by curses and has a short-lived appearance.The two children were chased and killed by the demons, and almost brought disaster to the child under his care. Li Xiuzhi took action to stop those difficult demons.

Unexpectedly, Mo stopped him, and the three children disappeared after the fight.It's not that Li Xiuzhi has never tried to find the child with his superficial calculation ability. If he can't calculate it at all, he can only use the most stupid way to find it bit by bit, but he can't find it.

Later, the Tianzhu collapsed and countless people lost their lives in this natural disaster. Li Xiuzhi felt that if he survived, he would have great blessings in the future.

Originally, he thought that his fate with Feng Fuling was over.In fact, thinking about it carefully, I was too naive. If fate is so easily exhausted, why would someone in my teacher go to such lengths to let that monk find me?

Decades ago, Li Xiuzhi was chased and killed by almost half of the monk sects because he was carrying the secret treasure of the Tianxing School. He was injured and killed two monks. He was chased by the other three monks and fled in the mountains in a panic. It turned out to be a demon who opened the teleportation circle there.

When he ran there, he just caught up with the demon stepping out, followed by three monks, clamoring for him to hand over the secret treasure. When he saw the demon, he had no brains to frame him and defected to the demon clan.

At that time Li Xiuzhi was really angry.Because he had made up his mind a long time ago, and he was resolute not to follow the fate trajectory that his master had told him a long time ago. He was absolutely, absolutely, and would rather die than go to the Demon Realm.

The author has something to say:
