Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Fateful Star
My master sat with his sword on his back, looking aloof and resolute.
Obviously, he didn't want to go on and wanted to solve my problem once and for all here.
I don't know why he made such a decision. Since the other party dared to come, they must have been prepared. With a few of us on their territory, the result is unpredictable!
"Master..."
After hesitating for a while, I sat next to him, sorting out my thoughts and said, "Since the other party is anxious, won't it be a disadvantage for us to confront him here? I think I should have some time, and I can deal with the other party..."
My master shook his head, saying little, but every word was sonorous: "Just here, wait for him!"
Such a weird attitude made me doubtful. I pondered for a moment and plucked up the courage to ask, "Master, is it related to the hexagram you mentioned before?"
I have long suspected this!
Even, my master may have other discoveries on this trip.
Anyway, since I woke up, his attitude has changed drastically, which is too different from our previous plan. I have to think more.
My master turned his head and looked at me, his eyes bright and gentle. Perhaps he saw my attitude of asking questions, and he rarely smiled: "Have you guessed something?"
"Just a little uneasy."
I said: "It is obviously the best result for me to end it here, but... it may not be the case for you. If you fight head-on..."
I didn't dare to say the rest, or I couldn't bear to say it. Our journey was too difficult. Just the two tombs of water and fire almost made us confess. It was too dangerous. Now the other party is well prepared. I am worried that someone will really die here.
"There is always a glimmer of hope..."
My master sighed and raised his head and said: "Oh, now we are not only fighting against demons and monsters, but also fighting your life. People often say that the heavenly officials have many disasters. I don't believe it is so difficult to keep you safe for a lifetime!"
This is a bit fatalistic.
The less he said, the more uneasy I felt: "Just tell me, what does the hexagram show?"
"You have a calamity star in your life."
My master said: "The Heavenly Dog rises from the pile of earth and falls into the sunset. The sky is as red as blood, and the lucky star retreats into nothingness. In the vastness, a person stumbles forward, blazing a trail, and blood is spilled with every step. Only a stalk of the Chinese hibiscus withers behind him."
This passage is similar to a prophecy, which is very difficult to understand. I also seem to understand it.
The Heavenly Dog should refer to the Heavenly Dog Star, which is an evil star.
The pile of earth, in my understanding, may refer to the tomb we are in now!
The ominousness starts from this tomb and eventually falls into the sunset. What does the sunset mean?
The sky is as red as blood, which may mean that someone will die.
The retreat of the lucky star still emphasizes the degree of ominousness of the ominous omen.
As for the person who blazing a trail and stumbling forward, it should be me.
But this Tumi is a bit confusing.
Tumi is probably the Tumi flower.
This kind of very sad and beautiful flower means the end of the road, maybe I will eventually end up in the end of the road.
"Tu Mi, or it could be a person!"
My master said very seriously: "Tu Mi flowers mean that the most brilliant, prosperous or unforgettable love is about to be lost, and it may mean that you will lose the person you love most."
"As for the sunset... I don't quite understand it..."
My master was a little depressed and said softly: "In fact, I have made a hexagram more than once. Unfortunately, there are many factors that affect the hexagram. When we left the Zhenwu Temple, the hexagram was very vague. I only saw some unlucky omens. However, every time we walked down a little in this tomb, the hexagram became clearer. When I was exploring the surroundings, I made another hexagram. At that time, I was very tired and tired. I leaned against a stone and fell asleep. I saw such a scene in the dream. I knew that I got the hexagram I wanted. Unfortunately, this hexagram is difficult to understand. However, I think we should re-examine the incident you encountered!"
He said that everything I experienced was partly due to the conspiracy of Xing Wei's family, but more of it was fate.
Even if Xing Wei hadn't been here, I would still come here, maybe for other reasons.
He felt that the person suppressed under the burial mound was the star of my fate, and that person would affect my life.
Perhaps, the other party didn't really want my life, but the other things in this burial mound that really wanted me dead, because I was a ritual officer, the best sacrifice, and they just wanted to enjoy the sacrifice.
However, the real owner was more terrifying than all the other things.
Things like incorruptible bones were at most a temporary hazard, and killing them was enough, but this real owner would be a nightmare that would wander in my life, and the other party might pull my life in the direction of the prophecy.
Although we can't understand the prophecy at all now, and we don't even know what the event refers to, the ending... doesn't look good no matter how you look at it.
My master said that I can't go any further, and maybe when I meet the real owner, many unimaginable things will happen, pulling me towards the predetermined fate.
Now that the other party has come, solving it here is the best result. This is to help me change my fate and let me live the way I want in the future! !
In fact, I can't really understand these. Regarding fate and divination, I have also seen it in the notes of my ancestors. The principle is the number of Dayan. However, the number of days is not determined, and there is still a escape, which means there are variables.
The same is true for human destiny. There are countless directions. What you do at every moment may affect the final result. Before the coffin lid is closed, it is impossible to determine it.
For example, someone is destined to be rich and powerful, but greed arises for a while, breaks the law and discipline, and goes to the underworld with a black date.
Even Fuxi couldn't tell someone's life by just looking at him. The fate that can be predicted by fortune-telling can only be one of the countless fates of a person. Maybe you can't help but fart at an inappropriate time, which may lead to your dismissal and loss of a good job. Your good life of 6.2 catties will eventually become a beggar's life of 2.2 kg.
This is a bit exaggerated, but the truth is not rough.
I don't believe that a prophecy can determine my fate. It's not possible now, but there will be a turning point in the future.
However, while talking, a trace of blood came out of my master's mouth and nose silently.
I was shocked. Since I met him, I have never seen him so embarrassed, even when fighting with Buhuagu, he was not like this. His breath was heavy and his face was like gold paper. I hurriedly asked him if he was injured.
"It's okay. After peeping into the secrets of heaven, you have to pay a price."
My master waved his hand, took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out a black pill and put it into his mouth. Soon his face became rosy again.
I was shocked. I always felt that the pill was not a good thing. It had such a good effect in an instant, just like forcing myself to be energetic.
But before I could say anything more, his originally gentle sword eyebrows were already erected.
Clang!
The ancient sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was shining.
He stood up with the Qingfeng in his hand, stood on the boulder, looked around, and slowly uttered two words: "Here it comes!!"
At this moment, I was not the only one who was panicking. Brother Yaozi and the others gathered together, and the last remaining mining lamp illuminated the surroundings.
"In the water!"
Brother Yaozi exclaimed: "What a fast speed, what on earth are they?!"
I lowered my head and looked carefully. Countless black shadows flashed in the gurgling stream below.
The stream was not deep, only up to the thighs at most, but at this moment, countless black shadows gathered in the water. These things were like locusts passing through, more like a stream across the sky, flashing under the water. We couldn't see what they were at all, and could only roughly judge that the length of these things was more than one meter away.
The number... unknown!!
These were definitely not ghosts, but there were too many of them, which made people's scalps numb and their hearts tremble.
The unknown is the most terrifying!
"Hehehe..."
A cold and weird laugh suddenly sounded here, and something ran quickly between two drooping limestone pillars not far away.
That thing was short, but it was running wildly on tiptoe...
"It's it!"
I cried out in a lost voice: "That's it, it's coming!!"
