After running around Beicheng District and throwing away the pursuing Dongsheng Kingdom warriors, Shan Hui finally found an opportunity to join Li.
"It seems... it went pretty well." He panted. "I thought they would stay at home because the person who informed the news was a demon. It seems I was overly worried."
"Indeed." Li Yi was a little surprised. She knew very well how big a prejudice this group of people had against monsters. Based on the idea of doing her best and obeying fate, she tried her best to tell everyone about the temporary lifting of the blockade. This was what she could do. things to do. As for how many people will follow her guidance in the end, that is beyond her control.
But judging from the actual situation, it seems that the residents of Beicheng District only hesitated for a short time before they began to flow to the west like water. According to this estimate, most people can return to the princess's control before the invaders re-implement the blockade. Area.
Not only that, the two also noticed that several street intersections had been cleared before they arrived. The enemies responsible for guarding either disappeared or died on the street, as if someone came to help them.
"Now that the matter here is over, let's go east to see if Xia Fan needs any other help."
Just as Li and Shanhui were preparing to retreat, a voice suddenly came from the alley ahead.
"Boy, please stay."
The two of them couldn't help being startled, and immediately took a posture to face the enemy.
"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."
A man holding a folding fan slowly appeared at the entrance of the alley. There was a short girl beside him, "I'm--"
"Fang Xiandao?" Li asked in surprise.
Fang Xiandao also showed surprise, "Do you know me?"
"I don't know him. I just saw him from a distance in Qingshan Town." The fox demon shrugged.
"Qingshan Town? I see - at that time, you were secretly helping Xia Fan." Fang Xiandao suddenly realized, "That's why he could change Luo Qingqing's mind and turn an exam that was destined to eliminate most people into a mediocre one. carnival."
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Out of the corner of her eye, Li suddenly caught sight of Shan Hui winking at her.
He seemed to be reminding himself to look up...
The fox demon suddenly remembered that after taking off his turban, he seemed to have never put it on again.
She stretched out her hand and touched it, and sure enough her ears were standing straight out.
"Don't worry about this. I've seen your true form before." Fang Xiandao said indifferently, "If it were a harmful monster, I might still get rid of it, but you are obviously not. As a person who is good at insight, A wise man who is secular and black and white should never base his judgment on his origin."
"Qianzhi is good at insight!" the little girl shouted.
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be an alien like you among the alchemists." Li raised his eyebrows, "So you received Xia Fan's invitation letter and came to Jinxia to help?"
"Cough, cough - what invitation letter? I didn't say I wanted to help him!" Fang Xiandao covered his face with a fan and muttered in a low voice, "How come she even knows about such a trivial matter?"
The fox demon and tengu twitched their ears almost in unison.
The only thing the two demons have in common is that they both have extremely sharp hearing.
"Xia Fan is currently fighting against Dongsheng Kingdom. Do you need me to introduce you?"
"I told you that I didn't come here at his invitation!" Fang Xiandao emphasized, "All of this is guided by the hexagrams - and I am just a bystander."
"I understand. The fortune teller cannot personally enter the hexagram, otherwise he will be easily punished by God." Li said calmly.
"So you also know the art of hexagrams?"
"Master taught me a thing or two."
"Teaching alchemy to demons...probably some loose monk." Fang Xiandao said with a little regret, "Unfortunately, there are very few people who are good at this art. If you come from a famous family, maybe we can have a good discussion. Fan. For example, my master, although he does not serve in the Privy Council, his level is not inferior to that of a guard... "
"Oh, my master is equivalent to Qingjian."
"What—" Fang Xiandao almost choked, "Qing, Qingjian?"
"But I didn't delve into this alchemy. Because the master said that it is a luxury to hope to find the only direction of destiny among infinite possibilities. Unless the fortune teller can keep the results secret and indifferent, otherwise it will be simple. A single reminder, or even a glance from a distance, will cause things to change and become a factor in the hexagram." Li spread his hands, "To guard a secret, a possibility to spend a lifetime in silence, such a magic method What's the use?"
Fang Xiandao opened his mouth, "Your master's statement... is too one-sided..."
"Maybe. But you're not just giving hints and waiting and watching, are you? Did you help solve the Dongsheng warrior at the northeast corner?"
"Qianzhi did it! I don't care about the young master's business!" the little girl stepped forward and said.
"And it was you who led people to escape, wasn't it? You helped us a lot, for which I must say thank you. Even though you have achieved one step, you don't seem to follow the rules you said, "Don't touch the hexagram." "ah. "
"Master, do Qianzhi also have to recognize the things that others do?" Qianzhi raised his head.
"Shut up first!" Fang Xiandao cleared his throat and forcibly changed the subject, "Guidance has nothing to do with me. As for those attackers, I just fought back in self-defense, not to mention these are all trivial matters! The reason why I met here You want the two of you to bring a message to Her Royal Highness the Princess... or to Xia Fan."
"What's your prediction?" Li asked.
"Yes, the water image in the hexagram plate is dark and sticky like I have never seen before, which means that a disaster will happen in Jinxia City." Fang Xiandao folded the folding fan and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what it specifically refers to. , but this level of warning is definitely not something people like you and me can handle. So my suggestion is to leave Jinxia City before nightfall today, and go as far as possible."
"Qianzhi, good at warning!" the little girl agreed.
Li was silent for a moment, "I think this isn't your first divination since coming to Jinxia, right?"
"Of course. Why do you ask?"
"Then did you expect that Xia Fan and the princess would enter the city and confront the enemies of Dongsheng Kingdom head-on before the local army arrived?"
"..." Fang Xiandao was speechless for a moment. Divination cannot predict Xia Fan's actions, so he deliberately ignored Xia Fan when divining and only performed spells based on the changing conditions of Jinxia City. But even so, he still failed to find clues in advance from the turbid hexagram plate. The last person to witness the answer was his own eyes.
Could it be that it was precisely because he had never considered that possibility that he indirectly affected the results of the hexagram
"Since you don't plan to see Xia Fan, let me take my leave." Li bowed his hands politely, "But after meeting you, I now feel that this divination may not be useless."
Fang Xiandao looked up at her unexpectedly.
"It can at least help us predict the danger and then intervene in the outcome in a prepared manner." Li slowly said, "even if the cost is to get involved."
