Upon opening his eyes, Wu Jinluan's eyes actually had blood vessels.
"Master Luo, how many times have you cast this hexagram?" He asked suddenly.
"Including this one, it's the third time," I replied: "The first time was 'Ma San,' and the second time was 'Lao Gong.'"
"Mr. Wu, there's no need to hurry. You can cast several more hexagrams from multiple perspectives, and see if there's any danger among them," said He You Tian.
Wu Jinluan became extremely silent all at once.
"This hexagram cannot be calculated too many times, the hexagram pattern indicates that once can get the correct result, if because of not believe, and repeatedly casting hexagrams, is profaned God, defamed heaven's will, will not have a good result." He opened his mouth again, but directly gave up some of his previous own words, showing a very serious expression and also, the way he looked at me was filled with a trace of alarm.
"So peculiar?" He You Tian's brow furrowed tightly, and there was a hint of skepticism in his eyes.
"Fate, does it become thinner with each calculation?" he asked.
"It's not this saying, it's just this hexagram that is different from other hexagrams……Ah, I'm not good at describing it, three times……Things don't happen twice, fortunately, it's the third time, not the fourth……"
"But doing it again and again, this is not a good omen at all... bad things... I shouldn't have cast this hexagram…" At this moment, Wu Jinluan was actually acting like an ant on a hot pan, standing uneasily.
"You, what did you calculate?" I tried to calm down my mind and asked Wu Jinluan.
"It's complicated, Master Luo may not understand. So I'll just talk about the core of this hexagram. This hexagram is 'Mountain Below Danger,' which is not a particularly ominous hexagram itself, but there is one point that needs to be paid very close attention to, which is that when encountering danger, it should stop immediately and act in time. That is to say, any unfavorable events in the hexagram should be followed immediately and stopped." Wu Jinluan shook his head and said: "That means that any unfavorable events in the hexagram should be stopped immediately."
"You will encounter many problems and confusion, and you will be cloudy-minded. Ultimately, you will still be able to ward off enemies and achieve your goal."
"Let's be more direct. Ms. Fanxiang shouldn't stay here. I suggest that from now on, we will be separated by one inch and one foot, and we won't marry officially. Master Luo, have you gotten married?"
Wu Jinluan spoke with conviction.
"I know that Master Luo might think that I've used the most basic information to cast this hexagram, which may go against your understanding and ideas. But Master Luo, this hexagram is one of the rare ones in which the outcome is set from the start and difficult to shake. Even if I were to cast more hexagrams, and even if I could divine from your faces, bones, shapes, and even your movements, the final result would still be the same. Moreover, because of my excessive casting and offending the heavenly will, you will face problems."
"Multiple calculations mean doubt, doubt means not believing in fate, not believing in fate, heaven will let you believe. Living under the sky, we must follow certain rules, especially those who believe in the heavenly fate. We are all people who believe in fate." Wu Jinluan's voice was muffled and his eyes were mostly full of persuasion.
Before I could speak, He You Tian mentioned his previous opinions about him.
Wu Jinluan's face changed again and he said, "Master He, your cultivation has exceeded Master Luo's, hasn't it?"
"I'll say the truth, Master Luo can't resist it, and you standing in front of it is just adding a life?"
"The hexagram will definitely come to pass, and the final result will definitely be good. But if you try to interfere along the way, you will be crushed. Fate is like a wheel, an enormous wheel that human effort cannot interfere with. It will flatten all obstacles, even shattering you into powder and bones until you submit heart and soul." Wu Jinluan spoke with such decisiveness that his words were precise and undeniable.
"Yes, like the Juqu Mountain, they were very miserable, right? But fate is just like this. Even if Master Luo you stood in front of Mao Shu Mao Xì and told them that the next one, the Juqu Mountain would be wiped out, what would happen then? They were still wiped out once."
"Sometimes, the answer is just an answer, but many people can't accept certain results. They will deny and struggle frantically, but what is the meaning of struggling to the end?"
"Fishing net for fish, the fish are struggling, and in the end, they just keep jumping on the board, even after death, they can still move a few times."
"Believe in fate, Master Luo!" Wu Jinluan's eyes were full of blood vessels, and his tone carried a hint of impatience.
"Yes, yes, there's one more thing, Mao Xianjun!"
"What does Mao Zhanxiang want?"
"Qin weizi must have promised him. The next life of Mao Xianjun, today's Luo Xianshen, will definitely return to the place where he left his magical artifacts and inheritance books. Perhaps it is possible that Qin weizi also said that Master Luo would become the chief monk of Juqu Mountain in this life. Perhaps he didn't say it, but just Mao Zhanxiang's expectation when leaving items, he wants to change some predestined things."
"And what happened?"
Wu Jinluan's words caused him to sweat even faster, and more sweat dripped down from the forehead.
My brows furrowed, but I suddenly remembered a saying.
What Mao You San had said to me.
"Fate is like a circle, with a point here and the circle extending indefinitely. In the end, it will still come back to here. The process enclosed in the circle is predetermined and set in people's lives. Life is death, and death is also life."
In fact, I had been thinking for a long time that if I really couldn't resist, I would have to go with the flow.
At that time, Mo Ying also knew that.
Only then would she want a child, and her mother would offer advice, resulting in the current situation where she is carrying a pregnant belly.
However, I had made up my mind back then, but now, how come I'm hesitating and wavering again?
The heart feels so empty, like a fall from the Thunder God Cliff, and the bottom is deep and unseen.
Perhaps, it's because my cultivation has reached a certain level, and I could safely bring out Mo family with the help of the six living Buddha, and rescue Mo Ying without a scratch.
Perhaps, it's the reputation of the first true master of Daoism in the world that makes me feel that there are still a few things that can hurt me?
Perhaps... have I always been taking chances?
I think that being strong is the answer to everything?
Wu Jinluan, however, said that the wheel of fate would crush everything, even to the point of shattering into pieces...
I'm not afraid of being shattered into pieces.
But Mo Ying and the child in her belly, are they afraid?
Suddenly, my eyes were filled with a hint of bitterness, and my heart that had fallen into a void suddenly stopped, causing a tightness in my chest and blood oozing from the corners of my mouth. The only taste left was the savory sweetness.
"Xianshen..." He You Tian was about to speak.
"Master He... Let's go back first, let Master Luo have a good rest." Wu Jinluan pulled on He You Tian's arm.
"We must look after the Mo family. The additional hexagram I casted will definitely lead to an accident, either in front of us or somewhere else, but we need to stop it from happening." Wu Jinluan's tone carried a hint of frustration and helplessness, as well as a certain certainty.
I wiped at the corner of my mouth to wipe away the blood, then turned around and walked towards the location where many Taoist temples had set up camp.
"Xianshen..." He You Tian called me again, his tone carrying a hint of concern.
Wu Jinluan quickly took a step forward and followed me, not saying a word, just keeping up with me.
