"Divination, are you talking about fortune telling?" Tian Shi felt that this person was a little abnormal, "This is a sentry tower, and no one can get close to it. If you don't go to the street to tell fortunes, what are you doing here?"
"Watch tower? I saw no one around here, so I thought it was just an empty tower, so I climbed up along the wall." The other party said unhurriedly, "In addition, fortune telling is fortune telling, and divination is divination. You can't do both. Confused. The hexagram plate told me that something big happened, so I followed the guidance of Qi and came here to find out."
Climbed up
Tian Shi glanced sideways - it was two to five feet high from the ground, and there weren't many footholds on the surface of the stone tower. How could it be easily climbed by an ordinary person
He slowly pulled out the straight knife from his waist.
This person may have a rich family background, but he would not be able to justify breaking into the sentry tower even if it were brought to the government. It would be better to take him down first and then hand him over to Boss Wu for questioning.
It's just that once the knife was halfway out, it couldn't be pulled out anymore.
Tian Shi's eyes suddenly blurred. The other party had approached him and put his hand against the handle of the knife. It seemed like an understatement, but he felt that the other end of the knife was as heavy as a ton of weight!
"Since you are not welcome, I will leave immediately, why bother to use swords and guns." There was some regret in his tone, "But since the hexagram plate is pointing here, it means that you are on the cusp of the storm. Why don't you listen to me? Yan, find a place to take shelter first to avoid being involved?"
The next moment, he distanced himself from Tian Shi.
The straight knife was immediately unsheathed.
Tian Shi did not dare to move forward rashly.
This guy looks slender and quite strong!
Fortunately, he didn't linger too long, and just as he said, he stepped out of the tower and jumped off.
This is nearly three stories high!
Tian Shi quickly ran to the edge of the tower and looked down - he saw that the opponent suddenly slowed down the moment before falling, as if he had stepped on something invisible, and then landed gracefully.
But there happened to be a dirt bag where he landed.
Therefore, his straight body was obviously crooked, and he swayed forward for a few steps before he stabilized his posture.
Then the man headed west and soon disappeared from Tian Shi's sight.
"Hey, what's going on up there? Why don't you say something!" Boss Wu's roar came from beneath him, "You've been here for so long, why don't you even get an accurate message?"
"... Well, I saw a-" Tian Shi was momentarily stunned, and he didn't know how to describe this scene, "a guy who was probably an alchemist."
"If you can't hear me, come down and say it!"
Tian Shi rubbed his forehead and sheathed the knife. What bullshit divination, what big things are going to happen, it’s all nonsense! The most annoying thing is that he actually let the opponent jump off the tower and run away. How could he explain this to the corps leader? If I tell you, I am afraid that I will be made a laughing stock by everyone.
Look at this endless sea, besides seabirds and clouds, what else is there -
Tian Shi was suddenly stunned.
At the end of the sea sky, there seemed to be a few more gray and white shadows.
He closed his eyes, stretched out his hands to rub them, and then opened them again.
That was not an illusion, but something was really moving on the sea. The only thing Tian Shi could think of was boats.
"Boss Wu, there's something going on at sea!" he shouted toward the bottom of the tower.
…
Fang Xiandao walked into a bungalow in an orderly manner. When he could no longer observe himself, he squatted down, covered his ankles and sucked in the cold air.
Who would have thought that the place was uneven and he would step on it
The result was that he accidentally sprained his foot.
Fortunately, the alchemist's self-healing ability is outstanding, otherwise he would not be able to get off the ground for several days.
"Master Fang, it turns out you are here. I had a hard time looking for you."
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded from behind him.
Fang Xiandao's expression froze. He ignored the pain in his ankle and strode away, but the corner of his trousers was tightly grasped by a small hand.
After dragging the other person on the ground for several feet, he stopped helplessly and said, "Qianzhi, let go."
I saw a little girl lying on the ground, holding his pants with one hand and protecting her face with the other, as if she didn't want the dust to stain her face. But her hair and half of her clothes were completely in contact with the ground, and they were a mess in just a few steps.
"Qianzhi, don't let go."
"I won't run."
"Oh." The little girl let go of her little hand and got up from the ground.
Fang Xiandao sighed, knowing that the girl in front of him was not an ordinary person. There is a special branch of the Fang family. Among their descendants, a small number of them are born with the ability to sense energy and have extremely strong physiques. They can be said to be copper-skinned and iron-boned, invulnerable to all poisons. But they also lack some emotions and perceptions, appear dull, and even forgetful, so they are called the living dead by the Fang family.
This girl named Qianzhi is a living dead.
"How did you find this place?"
"The old lady was furious when she heard that you ran away from the Gyeonggi Privy Council. She said that she would give you a break and gave the task to Qianzhi. And your location was also divined by the old lady."
"You don't really want to break my legs, do you?" Fang Xiandao said in a stunned tone. The living dead will stop growing at a certain point in time and will not change again until they die, which may be from five or six years old to twenty years old. Even though Qianzhi looked like a little girl, when she started to move, Fang Xiandao was really not sure he could stop her.
"Don't worry, young master. The old lady stopped the old lady and said that she doesn't want to stay in a place like the Privy Council House. But you have to write home frequently to report that you are safe, otherwise they will send others to break your legs." Qianzhi said seriously. He said, "Before that, I will accompany the young master."
What a young master, obviously we are not related by blood.
"Wait, why are there bloodstains on your hands?" Fang Xiandao suddenly found a red "handprint" on his trousers.
"I just discovered a villain who wanted to do evil to the young master, and Qianzhi has already dealt with him. Don't worry, Qianzhi didn't let anyone see it. Even if he was seen, the young master would not be implicated. Qianzhi is very good at going to jail. "
"Uh... what you were talking about just now was when I was standing on the top of the stone tower?"
Qianzhi nodded vigorously.
In just such a short time, he has already been affected by the whirlwind...
There is no mention of this at all in the divination.
Fang Xiandao was silent for a while, "It doesn't matter, this place is likely to become uneasy, so having more people with you will give you more protection."
The Fang family is good at Kanshu, divination and deduction, so their close combat ability is not very strong. The living dead is a way to make up for this shortcoming. Generally, big shots in the Fang family will have an exclusive living dead accompanying them.
He didn't expect that one day he would be treated like this.
Probably because the Fang family has few disciples and is much smaller than other aristocratic families.
"Since it's not peaceful, why do you still stay here?" Qianzhi tilted his head and asked.
"This problem is too complicated. Even if I tell you, you won't understand it."
"Chichi will try to remember."
Fang Xiandao frowned and looked at her for a while, then shook his head and said, "Just imagine the evolution of things in this world as a storm. The essence of divination is to see into the hurricane of change, but what if the magic fails? Then the only option is See it with your own eyes.”
"Can't you see it elsewhere?"
"That's not realistic enough. Just like a drama, where is the best place to watch it? Of course, the closer the better." Fang Xiandao looked up at the sky. The clouds that had been stationary had moved without knowing when, and the morning light on the horizon brought a hint of coolness. , "Look, the wind is blowing."
