On the busy streets of the Forbidden City, Lintian walked side by side with Gu Liang with his hands on his back.
The streets are bustling with traffic and people. They are as prosperous and beautiful as before.
This is the capital of the Empire. It is the place that practitioners all over the world yearn for most. Every day, I don't know how many fledgling young girls travel thousands of miles to seek fame or profit, all eager to have a foothold in this huge city.
Diju is not easy, Diju is not easy!
Lintian knew this very well.
However, now that he has become famous all over the world and stands out among the younger generation, he is about to leave. After all, he is reluctant to give up this city.
"I've heard that now it's widely said in the Forbidden City that you want to go to the ancient wasteland to practice, but..."
Gu Liang hesitated for a moment and then asked, "will you come back?"
Lintian was stunned: "of course, my home is here after all."
Gu Liang smiled, stared into the distance and said, "it's not sure. The outside world is big, unimaginable, strange and colorful. Once you set foot on this road, who can determine your lifetime and the time to return?"
Soon, he patted Lintian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "however, I'm glad you leave. In my heart, this empire is a small pool for you and can't stand your toss. What you need is a larger stage and a broader world, so that you can display your ambition and go further on the road!"
Lintian was dumb.
While wandering and chatting, they were in a casual mood. Unconsciously, they had come to the place where the stargazing platform was located.
The star viewing platform, 9000 feet high, is majestic and towering, straight into the sky.
"I heard that from the top of the observatory, you can overlook more than half of the Forbidden City. It is a place to deduce the celestial phenomena and predict the fate of the Empire."
Gu Liang looked up and said, "especially the old priest on the stargazing platform, who has unpredictable means. It is said that there are almost nothing he doesn't know in the world. He can be called a sea of wisdom and a prophet."
"Old priest..."
Lintian's eyes flashed a different color. He had heard that the old priest lived in seclusion on the star viewing platform all year round. He was definitely the most legendary mysterious figure in the Empire.
Both Imperial royalty and practitioners in the world respect them, such as ghosts and gods!
"Before you leave, it would be better if you could ask the old priest to divine for you and ask about good or bad luck."
Guliang sighed, "it's a pity. I heard that the old priest has not asked about the world for many years. I'm afraid he can't make you do what you want."
"Divining good or bad luck?"
Lintian smiled. He never believed that.
The so-called fate, with many variables and intertwined cause and effect, can we casually deduce good and bad luck?
"Let's go."
Lintian was about to leave, but at this time, in a doorway at the bottom of the stargazing platform, a boy in green came out and saluted Lintian, "young master Lin, please step back, worship the Lord's orders, and invite the young master to come on the stage to have tea."
Lintian was stunned and couldn't help looking up at the towering star viewing platform. He looked a little different.
Seeing Gu Liang's great joy, he elbowed Lintian and said, "please, old priest, will you go soon? This is a once-in-a-lifetime good time. Remember to ask him to give you a divination!"
Lintian was neither laughing nor crying. After thinking about it, he finally nodded and agreed.
He also wondered what he wanted to do when he was about to leave.
……
When you follow the boy in green to climb up the steps and reach the top of the star viewing platform, it's like coming to the clouds.
Looking down from the railing, you can see more than half of the Forbidden City. In the distance, rows of buildings spread like cobwebs. On the streets, pedestrians are like ant colonies, and cars and horses are like boxes, which looks very small.
It was just a moment. Lintian had a sense of grandeur to climb high and look far, and his mind was smooth.
At the foot, there is the world of mortals. The bustling clouds are like a rolling wave, and this body is already in the clouds, as if detached from the world.
"What a good place." Lintian sighed.
"Here, we can see the various forms of all living beings and the lofty heaven and earth. Only in this way can we know that all living beings are suffering and the heaven and earth are ruthless."
An old, low voice sounded nearby.
Lintian turned his head and saw an old man in a gray robe, with gray hair and wrinkles like gullies, sitting in front of a letter on one side.
The old man has the breath of years on his body, which gives people a sense of vicissitudes, but his eyes are clear and clean, just like a baby, as if they can reflect the deepest secret of people's heart.
"I've seen you, master." Lintian saluted.
In fact, there was some vibration in his heart. The breath of the old man was very flat, but there was a sense of vastness like emptiness, which was more unfathomable than any king he had ever seen!
"Sit down."
The old priest picked up the teapot on the letter and made a cup of tea for Lintian. He moved slowly, but he had a quiet power.
Lintian was not polite either. He sat across the desk and drank tea.
The tea had a unique bitter taste, which made Lintian a little uncomfortable, but soon found that after the bitterness, there was a faint mellow rhyme, which made him relaxed and happy.
The old priest looked at Lintian with a clear baby's eyes and said, "I've seen many arrogant young wizards in the past thousands of years since I lived in the star viewing platform, but you alone make me a little blind. I have to say that Lubo cliff has indeed taught a good disciple."
Lintian was shocked: "do you know Mr. Lu
The old priest nodded: "I've seen him once. I'm different from him, so I didn't talk much. But in my heart, I admire luboya very much. It's a pity that his path is too dangerous. He wants to change his life against the sky, and finally caused great trouble."
Change your life against the sky!
Lintian's mind was a little complicated at once. He thought of the "secret land to heaven" given to him by Mr. Lu, and the big hand that covered the sky that destroyed Mr. Lu and the mine prison before he left.
"Elder..."
Lin Xun just wanted to say something, but he saw the old priest shaking his head slightly and said, "I don't know the life and death of Lubo cliff."
Just when Lintian was disappointed, the old priest turned his words and said, "however, I can roughly infer that the murderer who destroyed his place should come from the ancient wasteland."
Speaking of this, the old priest's clear eyes filled with a deep color, and his voice became slightly ethereal: "in the ancient wasteland world, those who dare to do so, or forces, must at least have sacred details..."
Immediately, he shook his head again: "it's hard to say that Lubo cliff was robbed because it changed its life against the sky. It's so big that it's hard to deduce one or two." "But what is certain is that Mr. Lu's robbery is related to changing his life against the sky!" Lintian was silent for a moment before he said.
Another thing he didn't say was that he even suspected that the robbery of Lubo cliff was related to his own "Tongtian secret land"!
After all, it is the existence of Tongtian secret realm that makes him reborn, which is no less than a real life change against the sky!
"Mr. Lu, this is... A disaster for himself!"
At the thought of this, Lintian's heart trembled. There was an unspeakable gratitude and an unspeakable resentment.
Where did the big hand that destroyed Mr. Lu come from?
"Your guess is good. When you embark on the road of robbing your long life, you will understand how terrible it is to change your life against the sky. Perhaps, only by understanding this, you can find out the reason why Lubo cliff was robbed in those years."
The old priest's words undoubtedly pointed out a way for Lintian.
Lintian immediately got up and bowed: "thank you for your advice."
"Come on, this empire is too small for you. Whether it's revenge or finding a way, the ancient wasteland is where you should go."
The old priest took up a cup of tea, but his eyes looked into the distance. There were picturesque rivers and mountains and boundless heaven and earth.
Lintian left immediately and left in silence.
Boom!
Shortly after Lin Xun left, he saw that the old priest's hand trembled, the cup he held fell, and the tea was sprinkled on the papers.
The old priest's face, which was already old, became older and older, with an almost decaying smell.
However, at the moment, he seemed unaware and staring at the distance, as if he was worried and uncertain.
"How?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air. His face was clear and broad sleeved. His posture had an unspeakable meaning of greatness and towering. Standing there at will was like a mountain, which could shelter the wind and rain in the world!
If Lintian was here, he would be recognized as the dean of Qinglu college!
"Not surprisingly, luboya has planted a seed and found a glimmer of hope on the road he pursued..."
The old priest murmured, his face wrinkled and complicated.
The dean's eyes suddenly became bright and abnormal. If a pair of burning torches can peep through nine days and ten places, "the signs of Avenue disaster have begun to come. It's better to see a glimmer of hope than no hope!"
"It's just the way forward..."
The old priest sighed softly. At this time, he spread out the palm of his left hand, which had been closed in his sleeve. There was an ancient tortoise shell, but it had broken into several pieces at the moment.
"What's the matter?" The dean's eyes coagulated.
"Like a vast fog, you can't see it!" Word by word, the old priest flashed a terrible light in his clear pupil.
The Dean was silent, and his eyebrows changed for a long time
"I hope so."
The old priest silently put away the broken tortoise shells in his palm.
He didn't tell the dean that he saw a shocking scene when he secretly deduced the good and bad luck for Lintian——
The road ahead of him was foggy and invisible.
And behind him, the world collapses, everything collapses, and everything no longer exists!
