Sitting back in the teahouse, Jiang Beiran took advantage of his free time to rethink the conversation he had just had with Gu Liangren.
I found that a lot of information can be squeezed out of this awesome conversation.
First of all, a divination master of Gu Liangren's level cannot calculate his past and future. Does this mean that he has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not among the Five Elements?
The last person who said that he jumped out of the Three Realms and was not among the Five Elements was later pushed down to the Five Fingers Mountain.
Because not being among the five elements means that you are no longer at the mercy of fate. Let alone fortune tellers, even the Great Luo Jinxian cannot predict your future.
To put it simply, it's like in the rules of chess, the horse can only move the Japanese character, but Jiang Beiran's horse can not only move the Japanese character, but also the Tian character, walk in a straight line, and even make a phone call to the taxi opposite.
Say it directly.
"Number 9527, the time has come, take action!"
Then the handsome man opposite was stabbed to death by his own taxi.
In short, he doesn't play his cards according to the routine.
When faced with such a player who does not follow the rules, the referee will give you a warning the first time, and will definitely kick you out the second time.
Now Jiang Beiran is the player who doesn't follow the rules, and Tiandao is the referee who wants to "kick him out".
'Oh, I feel wronged.'
Jiang Beiran felt that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He just wore a different outfit. That wasn't what he thought.
But if you think about it on the bright side, even Gu Liangren can't calculate his past and future, so there is a high probability that there will be no divination master in the world who can calculate his information. This will undoubtedly give him a background that is difficult to guess.
A more mysterious veil.
After all, humans are always more afraid of the unknown than the strong.
The second one is the phrase "man is destined by destiny".
Literally understood, a destiny person sounds like a lucky person favored by God.
But Jiang Beiran is obviously not a lucky person.
So Jiang Beiran didn't know how to understand this fate.
Gu Liangren only gave one explanation, that is, those who can resolve other people's karma are destined people.
What is karma? Let’s start with the word karma.
The two most well-known karma are good karma and bad karma.
If we use the standards among hexagram masters, anything that is good for all living beings but not good for oneself is good; anything that is good for oneself but not good for all living beings is evil.
This is the way of heaven.
And karma is the reincarnation of heaven.
All the "karma" you create will eventually turn into various adversities in life, hindering practitioners from making further progress.
For example, if you often beat and scolded others in the first half of your life, you will have created the "karma" of beating and scolding others. When you reach middle age and you will often be beaten and scolded by others, that will be "karma".
It's easy to create "karma" but very difficult to eliminate "karma".
The simplest way to eliminate karma is that if you scolded someone before, and if someone else scolds you later and you accept it happily, then the karma will be eliminated.
But this sounds easy, but in fact it is too difficult to accept it happily.
Especially those high-ranking and powerful people, asking them to accept someone scolding them from the bottom of their hearts? It’s difficult, it’s too difficult!
And this is only a relatively light "karma". If this person loved killing in the first half of his life and was burdened with thousands of lives, how should he pay back? Should he pay back his life? He doesn't have that many.
Such a person will usually encounter a huge disaster at a certain period. If he survives the disaster, his karma will be eliminated. If he cannot survive, his body will die and his path will disappear.
Based on Jiang Beiran's understanding of this metaphysics, karma can only be solved by oneself, and I have never heard of anyone else helping to solve it.
Therefore, just the fact that this destined person can help others resolve their karma is already very special.
'But the question is how to help...'
Before Gu Liangren appeared, Jiang Beiran had no idea that he still possessed such a characteristic, nor did he know when he had helped others resolve their karma.
"It turns out he is the destined person I calculated in the Shi family."
These were Gu Liangren's original words, and he was telling Shi Fenglan's fortune at that time.
So if we connect the context, Shi Fenglan is the karma, and he is the destined person who comes to resolve this karma?
But Shi Fenglan was haunted by evil spirits when she was just born, which means that this karma must not be repaid by her own karma, but... by the entire Shi family?
The more Jiang Beiran thought about it, the more reasonable he felt that this explanation was. By sending Shi Fenglan to the Guixin Sect, didn't he just send the Shi family's karma to him, the destined person who could resolve it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but glance at Xia Lingdang, who was sitting next to him and having tea.
'Perhaps...she also carries someone's karma?'
When he realized that he started to think about the problem with this kind of logic, Jiang Beiran suddenly shook his head.
This is just a riddle from the old magician. There is no need to over-understand it. It is better to wait until one day when you can really have a good chat with him, and then ask what is going on with this destined person.
While thinking about it, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh at how powerful the Riddler was. Although everything he said was extremely vague, he could make people think more and more concretely and believe it with conviction.
'No, I can't fall into this pit.'
After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Beiran changed his mind. Apart from those vague words, there was one piece of news that Gu Liangren said in detail. Jiang Beiran even believed that this was the reason why he took the initiative to come to him.
'The catastrophe is coming...'
These four words made Jiang Beiran sure that the heaven-level option that popped up in that choice was not for him alone, but for the entire Xuanlong Continent.
So what is the purpose of Gu Liangren taking the initiative to come to him?
To figure out whether he, the destined person, is the key to resolving this catastrophe, or to remind him to prepare as soon as possible so as not to die in this catastrophe?
'Perhaps it is just like what Gu Liangren said, the secret must not be leaked.'
Judging from Gu Liangren's various previous performances and his ability to run away as soon as he said it.
He does know a lot of things, but he doesn't dare to say it. This time he took a huge risk to come to me, probably just to make sure that I really know that the catastrophe is coming.
As for the rest, he couldn't say much.
"Waiter, bring me another pot of tea."
Just when Jiang Beiran was thinking about what this catastrophe would be like, a man wearing a double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown sat across from him and shouted to the waiter.
Before Jiang Beiran could ask, the man said: "Zhu Tianlu, if you want, you can call me big brother. Junior Brother Lu has already told me about your matter, and I will try my best to help you."
After hearing these words, Jiang Beiran knew that the real owner was here.
So Jiang Beiran immediately saluted and said: "Greetings to Senior Zhu, thank you for making a special trip."
"You're welcome, Junior Brother Lu's friends are naturally my friends."
"Sir, your tea is here~"
Taking the tea set handed over by the waiter, Zhu Tianlu continued: "But first of all, Gu Xianweng is hard to find, and I am not sure that you can see him."
‘Do you have any wrong understanding of whereabouts are elusive...’
This Gu Liangren's distinctive muscular image has a 200% chance of turning heads. Such a person is the center of attention wherever he goes. Why is it so hard to find him?
However, Jiang Beiran no longer needed to see Gu Liangren, so he responded directly: "It's a good thing to be able to see him, but it doesn't matter if you can't."
"Well, that's good if you think so." After Zhu Tianlu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, shook the cup in his hand and said: "This tea is just not as good as wine, especially the kind of wine that can make people drunk.
.”
When Jiang Beiran heard this, he knew that this old man was hinting at him, so he smiled and took out two bottles of wine from the Qiankun Ring and put them on the table and said: "This is the meeting gift I brought to my seniors, two bottles of wine that I brewed myself.
The one on the left is called Warm Spring, and the one on the right is called Twelfth Moon, both of which have a very good effect of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vitality."
Zhu Tianlu was not polite. He stood up and opened the wine seal and took a good smell. Then he showed a very satisfied look and said: "No wonder my junior brother has mentioned your wine-making skills countless times. It is indeed extraordinary."
'Huh? Could it be that you are a drunkard again?'
Seeing the excited look in Zhu Tianlu's eyes when he smelled the good wine, Jiang Beiran first complained in his heart, and then thought that people are divided into groups, and the senior brother who has a good relationship with Jiu Menzi, how could he not be Jiu Menzi.
Zhu Tianlu did not take advantage of the opportunity to drink heavily in the teahouse. Instead, he looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Do you need me to help you find a place to stay, or to take you around first?"
"There is no need to visit. I just have some questions that I would like you to answer."
Visiting this kind of thing must be insulated from Jiang Beiran, otherwise he would have to say goodbye to Zhu Tianlu and run away after a few steps. As for where to stay, he doesn't want to go inside Senluo Sect at all, so it's good to live in Feifu Shang.
.
Putting a piece of tea into his mouth, Zhu Tianlu nodded and said, "I will try my best to answer you."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said, "Then I'd really like to thank you, senior."
For people he meets for the first time, Jiang Beiran will not ask too in-depth questions. He mainly wants to ask what kind of country Wei is and learn a little about this behemoth.
But Zhu Tianlu was obviously not very interested in politics, power, etc. He couldn't answer many questions, and the part he answered was a bit ambiguous.
It's the kind of thing where hearing something means not hearing it.
Jiang Beiran, who discovered this, changed the topic and started asking about other aspects.
Not to mention that there are specialties in the arts, Zhu Tianlu, who knew nothing about politics, became familiar with the masters of Xuanyi when he talked about them.
After a chat, Jiang Beiran finally discovered some characteristics of the Wei Kingdom.
That is, there are many high-level masters in Xuanyi.
There are many reasons for this development. According to Zhu Tianlu's description, Wei State is very rich in mineral resources. The high-quality crystals, jade, and precious ores here far exceed those of the other five countries.
With such huge material support, the Xuanyi Association related to mining in Wei State soared to great heights.
As more and more high-level Xuanyi masters were born in the Wei Kingdom, Xuanyi masters from other countries who heard the news also came here in admiration, and then more Xuanyi masters were promoted to high-level masters in the Wei Kingdom.
.
It is this kind of virtuous cycle, which can even be said to be a snowballing advantage, that immediately laid a solid foundation for this "powerful country of metaphysical arts".
At the same time, Jiang Beiran also learned that Fei Mansion, which he had always longed for, originally came from the Qianji Palace of the Wei Kingdom.
The Qianji Palace is the most authoritative and prestigious Xuanyi organization in the Wei Kingdom.
There is no other reason than that if you want to join this organization, you must at least be an eighth-grade Xuan Art Master.
But under such harsh requirements, the Thousand Machines Palace still has a scale of hundreds of people, which is enough to show the terrifying reserve of Xuanyi talents in the Wei Kingdom.
Under the collision of wisdom of hundreds of eighth-grade and even ninth-grade mystical art masters, various "black technologies" naturally appeared.
When Zhu Tianlu talked about this, he looked full of yearning, but like Lu Yangyu, he was stuck at the seventh level and couldn't get up.
"Oh, what a pity."
When Zhu Tianlu mentioned that he was stuck on the seventh level, he took a sip of tea, but his expression looked as melancholy as if he had taken a sip of wine.
After comforting Zhu Tianlu, Jiang Beiran also began to have a very strong interest in this organization called Qianji Palace.
In recent times, Jiang Beiran has continuously realized his shortcomings in mystical arts. For example, when developing the formation space, Jiang Beiran realized that the Qiankun Technique was very useful, but he did not know how to do it.
When trying to teach the three sisters of the Yu family the [Phantom Sound], Jiang Beiran discovered his own shortcomings as a mysterious musician.
When he saw that Shi Fenglan could play happily with Qiongqi, Jiang Beiran realized his shortcomings as a beast master.
…
Jiang Beiran was very moved when he thought that the Thousand Machines Palace had a high-quality master who could fully meet his needs in all aspects.
"If you want to join the Thousand Machines Palace, besides becoming an eighth-grade Xuan Art Master, are there any other requirements?"
Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Zhu Tianlu looked up and said, "Isn't this request high enough?"
"It's high enough, of course it's high enough. I just want to know if there are any other additional conditions."
After hearing this, Zhu Tianlu thought for a while and replied: "That's true. Before you want to join the Thousand Machines Palace, you must first get the approval of the royal family, and then you can join after passing the test of the Thousand Machines Palace. But these are all steps.
It's just a formality, as long as you reach the eighth level, you will definitely be able to enter the Thousand Machines Palace."
"This royal recognition...what exactly does it mean?"
"It's just an interview with the emperor, and then the emperor will ask you a few questions. Once you answer them, you will be recognized by the royal family."
'Tsk, there is still trouble after all.'
As the emperor of the Wei Kingdom, he naturally hopes that all the high-ranking masters in the Thousand Machines Palace will be under his control, so this recognition is probably because if you want to join the Thousand Machines Palace, you must first become a Wei nationality.
In order to verify his guess, Jiang Beiran asked: "Are all the Xuan Art Masters in Qianji Palace from the Wei Kingdom?"
"This... I don't know." Zhu Tianlu shook his head.
It was expected by Jiang Beiran that Zhu Tianlu didn't understand this. After all, from the conversation just now, it can be understood that Zhu Tianlu is a metaphysical madman who doesn't care about national politics at all.
So he only has Qianji Palace in his eyes. As for which country Qianji Palace is loyal to, he probably doesn't care at all.
Jiang Beiran, who knew he couldn't ask more questions, could only sigh in his heart.
'Oh, let's get to know each other better when we have the opportunity in the future.'
