Let’s talk about yesterday, the evening of September 17th.
The sun has set in the west and night has begun to fall.
In Xuandu City, the four major gates leading to the inner city have also been closed.
But at this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared under the city gate to the south.
Wearing a gray robe, he looks to be in his thirties and in his prime, but his eyes have a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.
The man took out a token and threw it into the hands of the guard at the city gate.
The guard took a closer look and saw that it was the king's token.
So, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened to let people pass through, and finally returned the token respectfully.
After entering the inner city, this person headed straight towards the Shang Palace.
The journey was smooth, and we entered the palace of King Shang directly and found him in front of King Shang.
When King Shang saw him, he was greatly surprised. He considered himself a junior and personally led him to the Kangning Palace where his father and mother lived.
When the Supreme King saw this man, he actually bowed to him and said respectfully: "I have met the real person Xuanming!"
Master Xuanming waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk."
After sitting down, the Supreme King smiled and said: "It has been more than a year since the last time the Master left. Wushuang misses the Master very much."
Master Xuanming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Wushuang must be dissatisfied with my arrangements for her and wants to hold me accountable as a master."
The Supreme King quickly denied: "There is no reason for a disciple to hold his master accountable. However, it is inevitable to have doubts.
To be honest with you, even I am full of doubts and confused about the arrangement of the master."
"The Supreme King, has Wushuang chosen a candidate to get married?" Master Xuanming asked.
The Supreme King nodded and replied: "Yes, Ji Ziqian, the prince of Liang Kingdom, was just chosen a few days ago."
Master Xuanming thought for a moment, shook his head with dissatisfaction and said: "Although this son is good, his destiny is not strong enough, and he is not an unparalleled match."
King Shang couldn't help but worry after hearing this, and asked tentatively: "I dare to ask the real person, what about Jiang Mingcong, the son of King Yan?"
Master Xuan Ming still shook his head, paused and then said: "Now that things have happened, there is nothing to hide, so just tell the truth.
I have seen all the talented and proud men in Dayu who are famous today, but none of them are suitable."
The Supreme Queen was worried and asked: "May I ask the real person, since there is no Wushuang good match, why do you repeatedly tell Wushuang not to go out to study before getting married?"
Master Xuanming sighed helplessly and slowly explained the reason: "Back then, after Pindao accepted Wushuang as his disciple, he once deduced her destiny..."
It turns out that the results of Xuanming's original deduction showed that.
When Wushuang reaches adulthood, there will be a calamity in her life that will cause her, a new star, to fall and disappear from the public.
Master Xuanming wanted to work hard to change Wushuang's fate, but did not want his apprentice's great talent to be wiped out.
Over the years, I have been deducing what Wushuang's calamity is and how to resolve it, but unfortunately there is no result.
It wasn't until Wushuang broke through to the Grandmaster level that there was a slight change in her destiny.
Master Xuanming discovered that the fate that was not in Wushuang's destiny suddenly appeared.
It was precisely because of this fate that Wushuang's fate changed drastically.
Although the disaster was not over, it was finally able to turn the danger into safety, and there was no sign of Minran's demise at all.
Surprised, Master Xuanming immediately deduced the source of this fate.
After several deductions, the result turned out to be completely blank.
This situation means that the estimated person's cultivation level far exceeds your own, and your own abilities and qualifications are insufficient.
But this is impossible, he can even calculate part of Emperor Yu's fate.
There is another extremely rare situation.
This person is born in heaven, and his life number cannot be deduced.
Master Xuanming thought over and over again.
He left a temporary policy to Wushuang's parents, "You are not allowed to travel before you get married."
He immediately set off to search for the secret of heaven in various places in Dayu.
This is why Wushuang sent letters many times without reply.
For more than a year, Master Xuanming traveled almost all over Yuzhou and Jiuzhou, but still found nothing.
Just when he was discouraged and almost gave up, this morning, he heard someone talking about Dayu Beauty List.
They said that there was an extra man on the beauty list, that there was no way he could be drawn, and so on.
Immediately upon hearing this, Master Xuanming understood that this person was probably born with a shortcut.
Because the body and appearance contain the charm of the Great Dao, which seems to be different after being drawn, that is why it is said that it cannot be drawn.
This is "the laws of heaven are impermanent and fate is uncertain." I didn't expect that a turning point could suddenly appear.
Master Xuanming was eager to verify his inner speculation.
He flew directly through the air towards Xuandu City, and finally arrived before evening.
The Supreme King suddenly realized this and couldn't help but said with great gratitude:
"I see. You have worked hard and worked hard for Wushuang. Please accept my respect!"
Master Xuanming stopped him in time and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's right to run for your disciples.
Your Majesty, why don't you tell me about Fu Chen?"
Among the people present now, only King Shang had ever met Fu Chen in person.
So King Shang told in detail everything he heard from Wushuang and everything he saw with his own eyes.
Master Xuanming listened and thought.
It wasn't until King Shang finished speaking that he looked forward to it and said, "Pindao can't wait to meet him to see if he is indeed Tianji."
King Shang smiled and said: "This is easy. I will send someone to summon him to the palace immediately."
Master Xuanming waved his hand to stop him and said, "It's better to wait for tomorrow and let Wushuang take him into the palace together, just in time to give my disciple a surprise."
***
The next day, at the beginning of the hour.
Accompanied by his father, the queen, his mother and Zhenren Xuanming, they had breakfast together.
King Shang immediately sent his guards to Wushuang Palace to deliver the order: "Princess Princess and Fu Meiren are entering the palace immediately."
When the guards arrived at Wushuang Palace to deliver the order, Fu Chen had already been on the road for a while.
The eldest princess received the king's order and immediately set off to the palace with her bodyguard, and went alone to meet the king's brother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw that the master he had been waiting for for a long time was actually there, smiling proudly at him.
Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then excitedly rushed to his side and shouted joyfully: "Master, you are finally back."
"Hahaha, are you surprised or surprised?" Master Xuanming asked with a smile, "Hey, why is it just you, the person named Fu Chen?"
Wushuang replied coquettishly and dissatisfied: "Master disappeared for more than a year and just came back. He actually cares about others more than his own apprentice. Unfortunately, unfortunately, Fu Chen has already left Xuandu City this morning."
"What? Something bad is going on." King Shang's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he quickly asked: "When will he set off and where will he go?"
When Wushuang saw this, he knew that something was serious, and immediately told Fu Chen about his plan to go near Yuzhou to search for traces of his hometown.
King Shang immediately summoned the palace guards and ordered: "Order the deputy commander of the guards to lead a small team of people, rush out of the north city gate, chase Fu Chen and Fu Meiren, and order them to return to the palace immediately to see you."
Master Xuanming looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's just a poor Taoist who was careless! I hope it's too late."
Wushuang looked at Master and Brother Wang in confusion, wondering why the two of them were so depressed and anxious.
At this time, the guards had already taken the order and set off, and King Shang personally explained the reason for this.
Wushuang finally understood why he could not contact his master for more than a year.
I also understand why Master must get married before he can study abroad.
All this is to delay yourself as much as possible to find the secret to resolve your fate.
When he came to the master who was depressed and blaming himself, he admitted his mistake with shame and said: "Master, there is no need to blame yourself. The guards can definitely bring Fu Chen back.
The master has been working hard for the disciple for a year, and the disciple is still complaining in his heart that the master left without saying goodbye. Master, I was wrong."
Master Xuanming shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "It's not my disciple's fault. If this person is indeed Tianji, if he doesn't show up on his own initiative, no one can trace his traces.
Another meaning of the saying ‘the secret cannot be revealed’ is that the secret cannot be deduced or found, it can only appear by itself.”
***
North of Xuandu City, ten miles outside the countryside.
Fu Chen was caught up by the guards and blocked the carriage. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart:
"Should I choose to disobey the order and leave directly or even disappear into the Yuanling Realm? Or should I choose to follow the guards back to Xuandu City and enter the palace to meet him?"
Then he thought that the eldest princess of Shang had saved his life, and the princess was sincere to him. If he openly disobeyed the king's order, how would he face them in the future?
So, Fu Chen decided to go back and asked politely: "May I ask General, is there anything that your Majesty wants me to do?"
"I'm just following orders," the guard replied stiffly.
Seeing this situation, Fu Chen expressed his understanding, nodded and replied: "Understood, I will return to the palace with all the generals."
Afterwards, Fu Chen turned the carriage and followed the team of palace guards back to Xuandu City.
When it was almost noon, Fu Chen returned to the familiar Shang Palace again, and was led directly into the palace by the guards to meet the driver.
Entering the main hall, King Shang was sitting on the throne.
On the lower left side of the throne, sat a gray-robed man with an erratic temperament; on the lower right side of the throne, sat the eldest princess Wushuang who had just separated not long ago.
Fu Chen saluted and paid homage: "Fu Chen has met the king! He has met His Highness Wushuang!"
"No courtesy!" King Shang said, turned to look at Master Xuanming and asked eagerly: "Master, how do you do?"
Master Xuanming has been staring at Fu Chen since he entered the hall.
First of all, observing his cultivation level, he does not have the slightest aura of cultivation, and he is undoubtedly an ordinary person.
Secondly, looking at his appearance, he is indeed born with the charm of Taoism, which makes people yearn for him involuntarily.
Immediately, he remembered the purpose of this time and began to speculate on Fu Chen's fate and fortune based on his facial features.
Helplessly, the results of several attempts were hazy and nothing was found. I have concluded in my heart that Fu Chen is indeed a secret.
At this time, King Shang asked, Master Xuanming could not hide his inner joy, nodded and affirmed: "It is indeed a secret from heaven."
As soon as these words came out, King Shang was overjoyed and cheered excitedly.
The eldest princess Wushuang next to her was looking at Fu Chen, His Highness, with a confused look on her face.
