"Girl, a person's character determines how far he can go. Just like these two words, some people see the momentum of a desperate struggle, while others see the bad luck of the ship being destroyed and people dying."
"Everything in nature has its own yin and yang sides, and your life lies between these two sides. Burn your boats and burn your boats. If you don't burn your boats, you won't stand up. If you don't live, you will die!"
Boom!
There was a sudden thunder in the clear sky and a strong wind blew up, making the "Iron Mouth Straight Forward" flag beside the stall flutter, but the papers on the stall did not move at all in the wind.
Buxusanren stroked his goatee, and the strong wind gradually subsided.
Jiang Yuebai turned her head to look at the sky. The Supreme Elder had demonstrated to her before that as long as he peeked into her fate, the weather would suddenly change with thunder and lightning.
The Supreme Elder said that in the upper realm, the fate of those geniuses who were specially protected by the Mahayana Immortal Lords would also be concealed to prevent others from spying on them.
Once these people's fate is deduced, this situation will also occur. Hers is not an exception.
Now it's calm after just a thunder, what's this
Was it true that the connection between her and Lu Xingyun was severed, or was it because...
Jiang Yuebai turned around and looked at Buxu Sanren who was yawning.
Is it because of him
Jiang Yuebai thought carefully about what he had just said. He felt that he had said a lot, but also felt that he had said nothing.
"My dear senior, if you don't live, you will die. If you don't practice Taoism, you will live towards death from birth. You are just struggling to live longer and better."
Buxu Sanren paused while stroking his beard. "You are quite insightful, girl. To ordinary people, what I just said is nonsense. But you are not ordinary people. If you can burn your boats and move forward courageously, you can naturally obtain the blessings of heaven and earth and break free from the shackles of life and death."
"Is it just about breaking free from the bonds of life and death?" Jiang Yuebai asked tentatively.
Buxu Sanren looked like he saw everything but didn't say it, "In life, there are many things that bind us, such as family, friends, obsessions, vision, etc. These are the shackles that hold us back from moving forward as cultivators. Even if we can break free of these shackles, we will become just a pawn on the chessboard of heaven."
"But you don't have to be afraid. The laws of nature change all the time, and the chess game is ever-changing. A person's fate cannot be determined by these birth dates. Each calculation will be different due to the time, place, and people you meet."
"If I calculate now, the result will be different from a quarter of an hour ago. If I calculate again a quarter of an hour later, the result will be different from now. Just like the word 'sinking boat', it depends on the current situation. Will you sink your own boat and die, or sink someone else's boat and live? Life and death are all up to your own choice."
Buxu Sanren placed the gold-sprinkled paper in front of Jiang Yuebai, and Jiang Yuebai frowned.
As expected, she still didn't like talking to these fortune tellers. They never said anything directly and always made people guess.
But what Buxu Sanren said was right, her destiny was in her own hands. Even if she was treated as a chess piece by the heavens or someone else, she would overturn the game one day!
No one can decide her life or death, not even heaven!
Boom!
The thunder roared again and the strong wind came again.
The papers on the fortune-telling stall were blown away, and Buxu Sanren was frantically using the method of controlling objects to collect the scattered papers.
"Girl, it's windy and it's going to rain. Can you give me a ride? I won't charge you for this."
When Jiang Yuebai heard that they didn't charge any money, his eyes lit up and he stood up and nodded.
Buxu Sanren tapped the table top of the fortune-telling stall twice with his fingers, and everything on the stall immediately gathered together, and the table top folded inward, and after several changes, it became a portable book box.
Jiang Yuebai lifted the bookcase, which was quite heavy. If it were in the past, this amount of weight would have been nothing to her. However, as her practice of "Dragon God Transformation" improved, she felt as if her essence had been sucked away by a goblin, and her strength became weaker and weaker.
Before, there was the Black Python Strength-Strangling Gu given by Yun Shang on her arm. Later, her body was destroyed by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder. Except for the spine, there was nothing left on her body. She could still reassemble the nine fire talismans in the "Secret Book of Fire Refining the Sky", but she did not have the ability to create living things like Gu, and her chaotic body was powerless.
It was clear that Bai Jiuyou also possessed the power of "Dragon God Transformation", but Bai Jiuyou was strong enough to move mountains, which was completely different from her.
But this is not entirely without benefits for her. Although she has no strength left, her body is like the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, which can absorb anything.
One punch may not kill a small butterfly, but it can swallow up an entire sea of flowers.
Buxu Sanren straightened his clothes, leaned on the flag with the words "Iron Mouth and Straight Forward" and asked with a smile: "Take a look, does he look like the kind of expert who travels around the world in the storybooks of the mortal world? Doesn't he have a special sense of mystery?"
Jiang Yuebai did not comment. Her mother had always told her that old men who waved such banners were all swindlers and human traffickers who kidnapped children, so she had a bad impression of such people since she was a child.
As Buxu Sanren took a step forward, Jiang Yuebai suddenly discovered that his right foot was a little lame, so he could only walk with his left foot first. This was in line with the city regulations. If his left foot was lame, he would have difficulty walking in Xiyun City.
Walking on the road, Buxu Sanren looked at the people who were orderly closing their stalls and queuing up to go home, and asked with a smile, "Miss, what do you think of Xiyun City?"
"Like a cattle shed." Jiang Yuebai said honestly.
Buxu Sanren paused, "Why do you feel that way? Don't you think that the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and that the city is in a state of peace and prosperity?"
Jiang Yuebai pointed his chin across the street, where two Qigong men were swearing at each other over something on a stall.
"Don't use your Five Grains Samsara Land to blast me. I paid first, and this is mine. You look pretty special, so why are you so unruly?"
"Oh~ You are really a natural beauty, breaking through the limits of normal people. You'd better not talk to me. I like to be clean and I can't understand the language of birds and beasts."
Buxu Sanren laughed when he saw it, "This is quite interesting, and these words are not in your collection of witty sayings."
Jiang Yuebai also smiled. She didn't want to hide the matter of "Collection of Witty Sayings".
"You said, when Immortal Lord Fatian banned foul language, did he ever think that if people wanted to quarrel, there were many ways to humiliate each other. Could he really ban everyone from speaking?"
Buxu Sanren nodded, "That's not possible, but we can add some rules and fill in the gaps."
Jiang Yuebai looked helpless, "Senior, look at the grass under your feet."
Buxu Sanren looked down and saw a clump of grass growing out from the cracks in the broken stone slabs.
Jiang Yuebai continued, "People are like the grass, and the stone slabs are like the city rules. Do you think the grass is harder or the stone slabs are harder? Even if the stone slabs are hard enough, if the grass wants to grow upwards, it can always find a gap, or simply break a gap through the stone slabs itself."
"As long as there are seeds, the stone slabs cannot cover the grass, just like the city regulations here. It must have been the same before my "Collection of Witty Sayings". Isn't the reason why there are as many as 3,000 city regulations because there are so many loopholes that they have been filling them all the time?"
"In fact, there is no need for this. Doing so will only turn people into unthinking animals and limit the upper limit of their self-growth. What's the point of everyone becoming identical according to the city rules? The reason why this world is wonderful is because of its differences."
Buxu Sanren narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. "You mean, the truth is simple, and everything in nature has its own way. It should not be restricted by rules, but should be allowed to develop freely? But if it is really allowed to be free, how can killing and disputes be prohibited?"
"Why must it be banned?" Jiang Yuebai asked back, "Look at other realms. They don't have as many rules as the Dou Mu Realm. Aren't those realms still existing well and not completely destroyed? And there are realms that are more prosperous and stable than the Dou Mu Realm."
"Also, although Xiyun City looks prosperous, in fact, no high-level cultivators are willing to settle here, and there are very few Jindan cultivators. I think the reason is that the abilities of Qi training and foundation building cultivators are low, and the city regulations can protect them well. Jindan Yuanying cultivators no longer worry about their safety, so they have higher pursuits and are unwilling to be bound by the city regulations. They are not really willing to abide by the city regulations, but they have no choice."
"Senior, have you ever understood the natural way of the demon race? I feel that the way of the demon race is most in line with the way of heaven. It allows each tribe to develop freely. The strong tribe dies in comfort, and the weak tribe is born in distress. They check and balance each other, forming a cycle."
"Just like the Way of Heaven, which treats all things in the world equally. Throughout history, this primordial world has not perished because of the Way of Heaven's neglect. Instead, various races and ways have flourished. Doesn't this prove that the Way of Heaven is simple?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Buxu Sanren's pupils trembled slightly, and a Dao rhyme spread out from his body like ripples. The sound disappeared, and everything in the entire city stood still under this Dao rhyme. Jiang Yuebai even saw the saliva from the two people quarreling opposite him pause in mid-air.
"Hahaha, there is some truth in that, good boy. Eight thousand eight hundred miles to the southeast, you will find what you want to find."
Buxu Sanren's voice resounded throughout Jiang Yuebai's sea of consciousness. Before Jiang Yuebai could react, everything around him returned to normal and a flag hit him on the head.
Jiang Yuebai was quick with his hands and eyes, and caught the "Iron Mouth Straight Cut" flag that was about to fall to the ground. He turned his head and looked around, but there was no trace of Buxu Sanren.
At this moment, a breeze blew up from the flag in his hand, bringing with it a grand aura, and instantly blew across the entire Xiyun City.
The two people on the opposite side were cursing in anger and swearing at each other without thinking, spitting out foul language.
"You are a jerk with shit in your head and shit in your mouth!"
"Who are you calling a bitch?"
After saying this, the two of them were stunned and covered their mouths, unable to believe that they actually cursed out loud.
Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, tried to lift his right foot and took a step forward, but there was no obstruction. Could it be that the three thousand city regulations had disappeared
Jiang Yuebai looked at the yellowed and worn flag in her hand. Although she thought that Buxu Sanren might be a master, she really didn't dare to think that he was the Immortal Lord Fatian, or the incarnation of the Immortal Lord Fatian
"Oh my god, I actually lied in front of the Great Immortal Lord?"
Jiang Yuebai covered her mouth. She was simply "rejuvenated" and had a strong rebellious spirit, so she was just making excuses.
Gulp!
Jiang Yuebai swallowed his saliva and hurriedly fled out of the city with the flag.
*
At that time, in the center of Doumu Realm, in the Immortal Palace hanging high under the sky, an old man with white beard and white hair woke up from his meditation, recalled what his clone had seen and heard, snorted and laughed, shook his head, and gave instructions to the Taoist boy under his seat.
"I have nothing to do, so I am going to the Monster Territory to learn about the natural ways of the monsters and learn from their strengths. From today on, I will close the door to visitors."
"yes!"
