Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Five: Destiny Says, The Son of Destiny
The city called Chang'an is far away. There is no moon or rain tonight. By the moat, two old men walked slowly. One was wearing a Taoist robe and fairy-like Taoist priest. The other was wearing a white Confucian robe and a yellowed book. It was just plain and simple to raise his hands and feet, but it seemed to contain a great charm. The two old men walked by the river, with pedestrians everywhere, but turned a blind eye to the two, as if the gods wandering around the world in the ghost story book. At some point, the two old men suddenly looked up and looked into the distance, looked at the mountains and rivers at one glance, crossed the space, and fell into the rainy night sky that was unknown.
These two are the national teacher of Xia State, Mr. Yuan Tian, and the second-in-law Mr. Wuque, who suppressed the world.
"Tianshi, what is the hexagram?" asked Mr. Wuque.
"The heaven and earth resonate, the master enters the Tao, but the sky cries and the thunder tribulation, the stars are dim, this is the fall of the master..."
At that moment, two meteors suddenly passed through Master Yuan’s pupils, and it was fleeting in the night. He pinched the magic trick and said, “In that direction, the Dong family’s fortune has ended. However, the Confucian master resonated with heaven and earth before his death, covering up the secret of heaven and gained the last glimmer of life for the Dong family. However, it was very slim. Alas, Dong Tianfang has lived for so many years and used countless methods to change his fate for the Dong family!”
Mr. Wuque held his hands behind his back, and his robe surged, saying, "I remember, decades ago, Dong Tianfang begged you to give him a snare for him, saying that the vitality of the Dong family lies in my Confucianism, which is also the last chance to gain a glimmer of life. If I guess correctly, the one who won the glimmer of life for the Dong family was Dong San, who was studying in the Dong family. This is a real scholar."
"Yes," Yuan Tianshi nodded, shook his head and said, "But, the Confucianism that I had in the past was not Dong San, but later, the secrets of heaven were in chaos, and the Dong family actually exhausted their luck a few years in advance. However, this was also a crime caused by the Dong family and could not survive. The cause and effect cycle, and Dong Tianfang took the wrong path and used the wrong method."
"Oh," Mr. Wuque frowned and said, "Who is that person?"
"Gu Qingci!" Yuan Tianshi said slowly.
"Qingci?" Mr. Wuque was stunned for a moment and said, "Tianshi, I asked you last year, what was the deception you were for Gu Qingci? You didn't want to say it at the beginning. Now, we have seen Qingci's character, so you should be able to say it!"
Master Yuan Tian looked at the night sky and suddenly saw a star. He hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, I have dig the hexagram twice for him. What puzzled me is that the hexagrams were completely different when the two hexagrams were completely different. It was not until the first month of this year that the underworld came to Beijing and told me the corner of the future that the writer saw when I understood, what was the problem?"
Mr. Wuque nodded and said nothing.
Master Yuan Tian continued, "The first time I made a fortune for Gu Qing. It was when he had just passed the Jinshi exam. I accidentally saw him. On a whim, I dig a fortune for him. In that case, the life of the Dong family fell on him, and he also saw his fate, and he would die in the battle on the battlefield of the Beimo!"
"But, at that time, I saw that his luck seemed to be disappearing, but I couldn't find the reason for it. Until a few days ago, Gu Qingci sent a secret letter that aristocratic family might have begun to interfere in Qingzhou. I left Chang'an and arrived at the Dong family. I met Dong San, which made me wonder that this person's fate should be just an ordinary person, so I calculated another fortune."
"I only realized that the Dong family, who was studying and entering Taoism, actually robbed another Confucian disciple of the opportunity. It was not him who really deserved to enter Taoism, but someone else!"
Mr. Wuque turned around and said, "That person is Qingci?"
"Yes," said Yuan Tianshi: "Until now that the Dong family is destroyed, I basically understand it based on the previous words of the scholar-turner. When Dong Tianfang heard me, he didn't know how to use means to steal the opportunity to study into the Tao from the Dong family. Alas, it's a pity that the way of heaven is impermanent, but there are rules. How can he do it by forcibly defiing the heaven and changing his destiny? Instead, it makes the Dong family exhaust their luck in advance."
Mr. Wuque was not interested in the fate of the Dong family and asked: "What happened to Qingci? According to what you said, his opportunity was taken away, and his luck should naturally be dispersed, but now, he is at the peak of his life. In terms of luck, there are few people in the world who can compare with it."
"So I'm lucky when I say it," said Yuan Tianshi: "Gu Qingci is a blessing in disguise, and then it will be established. If I guess correctly, he had experienced a life-and-death disaster before, and then it will be established. His luck will be blessed. His fate changed at that time, and as long as the secrets about him are messy, even I can't see through it."
"Last year, I made a fortune for Gu Qingci. In the words of the book writer, he was an anomaly, and I discovered something very strange!"
"What's the matter?" asked Mr. Wuque.
"Gu Qingci jumped out of the long river of fate. The secrets about him are not messy, but are gradually disappearing!" said Yuan Tianshi.
"Vanish? What does it mean?" asked Mr. Wuque.
"It's literally, he seems to be no longer in this world." Master Yuan Tian said.
Mr. Wuque pondered for a while, suddenly raised his head and said, "So, the son of fate that this hundred-year disaster is really not him. It is very likely that the black boy chosen by the Book Fairy?"
Master Yuan frowned and said, "I can't calculate the son of destiny. I'll kill me when I touch it, and I don't dare to see it. However, now it seems that the black boy Gu Qingshi is very likely to be the son of destiny."
"So, if you want to survive this disaster, the focus must be on that black boy?" Mr. Wuque said with a smile.
Master Yuan shook his head and said, "The sky is chaotic. Who can tell the truth clearly about this thing? With Gu Qingci, who jumped out of the long river of fate, all the cause and effect have become dark."
Mr. Wuque smiled faintly and said, "You said so much, it's all nonsense."
"It's not nonsense. At least, it makes you feel more confident, right? In addition, what do you think of the news that Gu Qingci has been sent this time?" asked Yuan Tianshi.
"It should be inevitable that the great families of aristocratic families will promote the situation. This is to attract Buddhism to the Xia Kingdom and prepare in advance. After all, Cihang Jianzhai had a precedent for Emperor Tianyuan before." Mr. Wuque said.
"What will that kid plan to do?" asked Yuan Tianshi.
