The sky is clear and the air is blue.
Wen Miao sat in the corridor with sleepy eyes, her black hair disheveled, her clothes draped loosely on her body, and she was holding a pot of wine to sober herself up.
"Go ahead. Anyway, I am either healing people's wounds or answering their questions. It seems that I have nothing else to do except these two things."
Jiang Yuebai, Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi sat on the futon in front of Wen Miao.
Jiang Yuebai looked at Xie Jingshan, who scratched his head, not knowing where to start.
She looked at Lu Nanzhi again. Lu Nanzhi was kneeling with an upright posture, calmly and properly, and his demeanor had never been lost.
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath and told Wen Miao about Tao Fengnian first. She approached Wen Miao, held onto her knees, and looked at her eagerly.
"Master, can you tell me where my grandfather was reincarnated?"
Wen Miao paused while drinking, raised an eyebrow, and tried to open his eyes to look at Jiang Yuebai, "Where someone reincarnates is none of your business? Can you afford to arbitrarily interfere with the fate of others?"
Jiang Yuebai frowned, and Xie Jingshan said, "Grand Elder, please help her calculate. Elder Tao died so unjustly that year, and she can't let it go."
Lu Nanzhi nodded slowly to show his agreement. Jiang Yuebai held onto Wen Miao's knees and shook her continuously, causing Wen Miao to be unable to drink the wine and it spilled all over her body.
Wen Miaosao put down the wine pot in annoyance, "I'm impressed by you guys. Reincarnation is not something I can predict. If it were so easy, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Anyone can rekindle their past relationship?"
"What should I do?" Jiang Yuebai said with a bitter face, "I just want to know if Grandpa is... okay."
In fact, she had just wanted to calculate whether her parents and younger brother had also been reincarnated. She didn't think about it before, but when she started thinking about it, she was so greedy that she couldn't control herself.
Wen Miao stared at Jiang Yuebai and asked, "Tell me the truth, have you never let this matter go in your heart for so many years?"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were a little evasive, and he struggled and said, "A little bit, I thought I had let it go, but in fact, there is still a little bit that I haven't let go of even in places that I haven't noticed."
Wen Miao sighed, "Okay, I'll help you with your divination. Whether I can get it right depends on God's will."
After saying that, Wen Miao took out an old tortoise shell with a broken corner from his arms, covered the two openings with it, and shook it while making a clanging sound and muttering something.
"Seems like a charlatan..." Xie Jingshan couldn't help but mutter.
Wen Miao paused and glared at him. Xie Jingshan's scalp tightened and he quickly covered his mouth.
"open!"
Wen Miao poured the copper coins in the tortoise shell onto the ground. At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly came from the sky and struck the ground fiercely.
Bang!
The two copper coins shattered, and the entire hexagram became a mess.
Jiang Yuebai and Wen Miao both opened their eyes wide in surprise. Jiang Yuebai turned around and saw that Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi beside him had retreated to the outside of the corridor and were standing far away.
"You! Cowards!"
Xie Jingshan grinned foolishly and scratched his face, while Lu Nanzhi had a blank expression.
"The secrets of heaven are unpredictable." Wen Miao sighed, "The hexagram is obscured by the secrets of heaven. It seems that there is something fishy about Tao Fengnian's reincarnation. This is somewhat similar to the change of your destiny."
Jiang Yuebai looked at Wen Miao nervously, "What can we tell from the remaining parts?"
Wen Miao put away the remaining copper coins and tortoise shells. "At least we know that he has indeed been reincarnated. Don't worry about the rest. If you two are really destined to meet, you will definitely meet again. However, this fate may not be a good one. You should weigh it carefully."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were deep, which meant that her grandfather, like her, had his fate of death artificially changed.
Who is it? Is it Lu Xingyun again
"You two, why don't you come over here? Are you so afraid of Lei Xiu?!" Wen Miao shouted at Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi.
The two looked at each other, walked back to the corridor reluctantly and sat down again.
Jiang Yuebai ignored them and continued to say to Wen Miao, "Master, do you know who changed my fate of dying young?"
"How should I know this?" Wen Miao took a sip of wine in annoyance.
"The founder of Tianyan Sect, Lu Xingyun."
puff!
Wen Miao spat out a mouthful of wine, spraying Xie Jingshan's face.
Xie Jingshan: … …
Lu Nanzhi raised the corner of his lips and tilted his head to hold back his laughter.
"This is impossible. The ancestor has already ascended. This is recorded in the upper realm. It is impossible for people who have ascended to heaven to return to the spiritual world." Wen Miao denied.
Wen Miao frowned, "Hearing your description, it really does sound like the founder..."
Xie Jingshan wiped his face clean. "I thought it was strange at first, but now that you said you met the ancestor, I can understand the connection. The old blind man I met in the Mermaid Country said... that I have the same fate as Wind Chaser."
The three of them looked at Xie Jingshan in unison. Wen Miao had a puzzled look in her head, "What are you talking about?"
Xie Jingshan organized his words and said, "It was the old blind man I met when I was young. He said that I was destined to be a sword immortal, so I have always felt that I am the reincarnation of a sword immortal. This time in the Mermaid Country, I don’t know why he was there. He said that I must follow the fate of the Wind-Chasing Sword Lord in order to reach the top of the avenue smoothly, but..."
Xie Jingshan turned to look at Jiang Yuebai, "But the biggest failure of Sword Master Zhufeng's life was falling in love with the founder of Tianyan Sect, so the old blind man said that if I want to achieve higher achievements than Sword Master Zhufeng, I must kill him now while I am not deeply trapped... Kill the person who will cut off my immortal path and practice the ruthless sword way."
Lu Nanzhi frowned, followed Xie Jingshan's evasive gaze and looked at Jiang Yuebai, her pupils trembling slightly, and she understood what was going on.
Jiang Yuebai pointed at himself and looked at Xie Jingshan, "Do you mean that I am the one who will cut off your path to immortality?"
Xie Jingshan waved his hands in panic, "I don't mean that. I, I, I was influenced by that old blind man. I don't have the same feelings for you that the Wind-Chasing Sword Master has for his master. Yes, I don't. I was influenced!"
"Just like the dream I always had before, dreaming about you, it must be because you were influenced by the ancestor, and I was influenced by the Wind-Chasing Sword Lord. It makes sense. You practiced the ancestor's inheritance, and I got the sword intent of the Wind-Chasing Sword Lord, so there is a relationship between us..."
"Xie Jingshan, how come you don't have any opinion of your own? You believe whatever the old blind man says? That old blind man is not your ancestor!" Jiang Yuebai said angrily.
Xie Jingshan looked worried. "But I don't know why, I feel that what the old blind man said is true. He didn't mean to harm me. He also said..."
Xie Jingshan didn't dare to say the rest. The old blind man said that if he didn't kill Jiang Yuebai, he would be killed by Jiang Yuebai in the future, just like Lu Xingyun had the intention to kill Zhufeng Sword Master for the sake of the Tao. People who are wholeheartedly pursuing the peak of the Tao are heartless and ruthless.
Wen Miao scratched his head in annoyance. "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? It's all a mess. Let me, an old man, sort it out. As far as I know, there is indeed someone who has the same fate as Wind Chasing Sword Master, but that person is Zhuo Qingfeng from Guiyuan Sword Sect, not you. I calculated your fate back then, and it has nothing to do with Wind Chasing Sword Master."
"Jiang Yuebai, you said that you met the ancestor. Normally, it is impossible, but the affairs of the true immortals are not something that a small god like me can guess. This can only mean that you are indeed predestined to be with the Tianyan Sect. The ancestor should not have any intention of harming you, otherwise there would be no need to save your life."
Lu Nanzhi nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Jiang Yuebai just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Wen Miao said, "If you want to know, then practice hard, ascend to the immortal world and ask the ancestor in person. You two, give me your birth dates, and give me Lu Nanzhi's too."
Lu Nanzhi blinked in confusion, feeling like an outsider no matter how she looked at it. However, when Wen Miao asked her to do so, she obediently wrote down her date of birth.
Wen Miao took out a ruler covered with complicated scales, frowned and calculated the birth dates of the three people. After a moment, Wen Miao put down the ruler and swept over the faces of the three people with complicated eyes.
"Jiang Yuebai, I don't know what your original fate was, but I calculated the fates of Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi when they were young. At this time, their fates have deviated from their original tracks and are obscured by the secrets of heaven, becoming foggy and difficult to calculate. Despite this, the fates of the three of you are interesting. Together, it is a Dayan number of fifty."
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "What do you mean?"
Wen Miao put away the ruler, "You don't have to care too much about fate. Nothing in this world is immutable. Divination can only predict things that have already been decided. No matter who it is or what fate the heaven has attached to you, you can fight to the end if you don't want to. Only losers will accept their fate!"
"As for these conspiracies and tricks, if you don't understand them, just throw them aside and practice hard to improve yourself. As long as your Tao heart is firm and your strength is strong, even the Heavenly Dao will have to give in to you. All of these words today must be kept to yourself. No one can say anything anymore, lest they be used by those with ulterior motives. Do you understand?"
The three of them nodded in unison, each with their own thoughts.
Wen Miao took in the expressions of the three people and knew that they were all thoughtful children. He sighed and said, "Some things are not allowed to be discussed or mentioned in the Earthly Spirit Realm. When you reach the upper realm, you will know more about the cultivation world and may be able to figure out some clues. Focus on your cultivation first."
When this was mentioned, Jiang Yuebai hurriedly asked, "Master, when will you take Anan and me to the upper realm?"
"What? You guys are going to the upper realm?!" Xie Jingshan was shocked, "Why didn't anyone tell me? I want to go too!"
Wen Miao waved her hands impatiently, "Go away, I'm busy clearing out the Shura Domain recently, so I don't have time. And you need to report this matter to the upper realm in advance. When you have cultivated to the late Jindan stage, come back to me."
"Okay, we agreed to the late Jindan stage, don't go back on your word!" Jiang Yuebai said hurriedly, "If you keep going back on your word, I'll take Anan and leave by myself. Anyway, I have Po Yun Chong."
Xie Jingshan looked anxiously between Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi, "Take me with you, take me with you, I want to go too."
"Will your family let you go?"
"Yes, of course!" Xie Jingshan nodded hurriedly.
Jiang Yuebai smiled slyly, "I can take you with me, but it depends on your performance. Help me build a house first."
"Ah? Where to build? You want a house, can't I just buy a row and give it to you? What kind of house do you need me to build myself?"
Wen Miao leaned over, drinking with his feet dangling.
"A spring breeze ten miles away is not as good as wine. Live up to the spring and live up to yourself. Hiss - good wine, good wine..."
