Chapter 61: Nothing Makes Sense in the World



Carriages came and went, and pedestrians were everywhere. In the bustling streets, Qi Wuhuo paused and subconsciously looked back.

For some reason, there seemed to be something slightly abnormal in his nature just now.

Taoism practices dual cultivation of sex and life, sex is the primordial spirit, which is higher than the "conscious spirit" acquired through acquired cognition and learning.

The primordial spirit is ignorant and blind, yet it controls nature; the conscious spirit is the most obvious and the most intelligent, able to respond to changes without stopping.

What we cultivate is clarity, so whenever there is something unusual involving ourselves, our soul will sense it. This is called the power of the heart and blood, and we can predict the future. Only those practitioners whose minds are turbid and who have fallen into the eight difficulties and cannot extricate themselves, their souls can no longer be considered pure, but have fallen into the state of [stubborn mind], and therefore do not have such ability. In other words, even if the soul senses it, the practitioner will not be able to detect it.

It's a pity.

"Is there anyone here who has a karmic connection with me?"

The young Taoist turned around and stood on the busy street, looking for him.

The world is like flowing water. Previously, my own soul was flowing, and I naturally felt it. But now when I carefully searched, I had a desire to do something, but it was a disadvantage. My own soul did not feel it as before. So I had to look away and smiled to myself, "Since there is cause and effect, I will meet it one day, so there is no need to be obsessed."

The young Taoist threw the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth, slowly ate it and swallowed it, filling his stomach.

Having seen the hustle and bustle ahead, he had thought that it would be difficult to find the know-it-all in a place as big as Zhongzhou City. However, Qi Wuhuo had only asked a few people before he had already locked on to this person. He walked forward and saw a street ahead with two rows of Buddhists, Taoists, secular people and Confucianists on both sides. All of them looked like masters, with their own signboards, or some that read "Three Thousand Judges".

Or maybe the Tathagata with wonderful mouth.

What's worse, some people even put up a sign that they know everything about the past three hundred years and the next three hundred years, and that they are well-versed in everything from astronomy and geography to trivial matters.

Among these many people, a man yawning at the edge put up a sign.

【Nothing in the world makes sense】

Qi Wuhuo walked over and saw that the man was about thirty or forty years old, with black hair hanging down in curls, not tied up, and looked a bit unruly. The young Taoist thought about it and sat down next to his table. The man was still sleeping soundly, and after about half an hour, he finally seemed to wake up and have a good sleep.

He yawned and stretched.

There is drool at the corners of his mouth.

He glanced at Qi Wuhuo with a slanted eye, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "It's really strange. There are guests coming today. You are the first one. I guess there will be another one later. One is alive and the other is dead. Tell me, what do you want to ask, little Taoist?"

Qi Wuhuo thought about what Uncle Yun and Uncle Niu had told him when they parted. If he wanted to know where his home was, he had to ask a man who knew nothing about what happened yesterday. So he said:

"I want to ask what happened yesterday."

"Yesterday?"

The man glanced at Qi Wuhuo and said with a half-smile:

"If it was yesterday, nothing happened, little Taoist."

"It seems that you haven't thought about your problem yet. Go ahead. I'll leave the problem for you until you have thought it through."

He waved his hand lazily, and no matter how much Qi Wuhuo asked about what happened yesterday, he stopped talking.

The young Taoist thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask some other questions?"

The man looked at him, just raised his chin, motioned him, and said:

"Generally speaking, others can ask me three questions. You still have two. Go ahead and answer them."

Qi Wuhuo looked at this obviously extraordinary man and asked:

"Sir, do you know about the disaster in Jinzhou six years ago?"

The man was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Little Taoist priest, you are not experienced enough, so you'd better not ask about such things. With your little Taoist skills, be careful not to get involved, or you will die without leaving any trace, hahahaha."

It was also strange. The man's laughter was extremely unpleasant and harsh, but neither the fortune tellers around nor the people passing by heard it. It seemed that they could not even see the stall or hear the man's words.

This young Taoist, this table, and the flag that means "nothing matters" seem like another world.

Different from the world.

The young Taoist still looked peaceful as he looked at the man, making the latter feel that even his own smile was not that funny anymore.

Qi Wuhuo said:

"So, what happened six years ago wasn't just a natural disaster, right?"

"Thank you, sir."

The man's laughter paused, and he finally said:

"I didn't say..."

"It's not good for a kid to be too smart."

The young Taoist asked doubtfully, "Smart?"

“Isn’t this something that can be easily heard?”

"It's as if you, sir, didn't want to be involved in any karma, so you revealed it to me on purpose."

The man finally opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, and said, "Shut up."

"This question is closed."

"Next."

"Say that again and I'll tie you up and throw you out."

He raised his hand and scratched his messy hair, saying:

"That's why I hate Taoist priests!"

"Really? Who taught him to have such a calf-like nose? It's so annoying!"

"If I find out who taught him that, I will tie up that old idiot and beat him up!"

The young Taoist ignored the man's chatter and just asked:

"Then, I want to ask one last question, sir, do you know anything about the Mingzhen Dao League?"

The man looked at the young Taoist in front of him, smiling, but finally answered:

"You want to check it yourself?"

"Can."

"You have the badge of the Mingzhen Dao League. This organization is like a network. There are not many larger organizations in the world than them. They are well-informed and have branches in various places, such as the Dao League in Zhongzhou. If you have the token, go to the waters on the full moon day of each month when the moon is at its zenith."

"If you point the token at the moon, you will see a road. If you follow the road, you will find it."

"Okay, go ahead, little Taoist."

He suddenly smiled and said, "But I think we will meet again tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, little calf nose."

Qi Wuhuo stood up and bowed.

Keep the matter of the Mingzhen Dao League in mind.

And that day will be the day when disasters in the world begin.

gentlemen……

But when he turned around and left, he seemed to be thinking about something and didn't pay attention to the person in front of him. He almost bumped into him. Qi Wuhuo apologized, but the man just snorted and didn't say much. Qi Wuhuo saw that the man was wearing gorgeous clothes and had handsome eyebrows, but he seemed to have very high standards and didn't look at people directly. When they passed by, Qi Wuhuo vaguely smelled a strange smell.

...The water has a moist smell and a strange fishy smell?

The young Taoist paused and glanced sideways.

The arrogant man calmly sat down, seemingly the second guest the man just mentioned. With a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling, he looked at the lazy man who called himself "Know-Nothing" and said in a calm and arrogant manner:

"I heard that you are very good at divination, so I would like to ask for your advice today."

"I dare not."

The arrogant man sneered and said, "Nothing in the world is possible, but everything in the Three Realms is in my hands."

"Isn't this the reputation you earned from playing with it? Now you don't dare to say it?"

"Since we have come out with this, we are naturally prepared for the possibility of being challenged."

"Weren't you the one who teased me a few days ago?"

"I came to you today, but you wanted to avoid me? Ha, how could such a good thing happen in the world? In this game today, I really want to ask you. If you can answer it correctly, then it is my question. I will naturally be polite and apologize to you. But if you can't predict it..."

The lazy man yawned and said, "I can't figure it out, so what?"

The arrogant man sneered: "Then I will tear down this shabby place of yours!"

"Smashed your stall!"

"I will strip you naked and hang you on the city gate of Zhongzhou City for three days and three nights!"

"I wonder who dares to plead for you!"

The lazy man said, "Okay."

"So, what does this young master want to calculate?"

The arrogant young man tapped the tabletop lightly with his slender white fingers and asked calmly:

"Since you are talking about this, you can calculate the affairs of the three realms."

"Then ask about the affairs of the Three Realms."

"I wonder when the winter rain will fall tomorrow? How much water will fall in the East City?"

Weird question…

A strange bet.

Qi Wuhuo was confused, shook his head and walked away.

The bronze mirror around his waist still showed no reaction.

The boy pondered.

Recalling the fortune teller's answer just now, I became a little confused.

Could it be that the first question I asked was wrong?

I wanted to ask Yunqin, but the girl hasn't answered yet.

Qi Wuhuo seemed to be thinking about something, and then hesitated. Could it be that the simple method he came up with was also wrong?

Wait a little longer today. If there is still no news, I will think about it again...

After thinking for a while, the young Taoist nodded his sleeves, and a roll of white paper appeared in his hand. It was densely written with words, all of which were regrets. It was the final wish of the people who were harmed by Tan Tai Xuan. Qi Wuhuo glanced over and saw the last line -

She was the girl whose mother was seriously ill and who was deceived by Tan Tai Xuan.

Her mother seemed to be near the capital.

[Saying that my daughter is unfilial and I cannot see her anymore...]

The young Taoist lowered his eyes.

It's time to fulfill the promise...

Even if there are extremely sad things ahead, it is appropriate to pass on the message.

This is cause and effect.
