Qi Wuhuo put all the things he bought into the sword case on his back, and then he couldn't help but open the manuscript given to him by Mr. Ao Liu. He walked slowly on the busy street, flipping through the manuscript. This was a manuscript on practicing supernatural powers, but it was also a volume of chess manuals. It started with talking about the [Qi] of Go, and then extended to the [Qi] of the practitioner.

Saying: [The rules of chess are yin and yang, and Tao is the longitude and latitude].

"According to the theory, the innate is Qi, and the acquired is Qi. All things in the universe are nurtured by Qi. Qi is extremely pure, so it can circulate endlessly."

Among them, the placement of chess pieces and the magical power of water mist are connected.

Quite mysterious and detailed.

And finally, it points out the similarities between the Qi of human life and the water vapor between heaven and earth.

The young Taoist looked at the mere forty-five words and could not help but murmur and ponder: "To stay is to store, to store is to stretch, to stretch is to go down, to go down is to settle, to settle is to solidify, to solidify is to sprout, to sprout is to grow, to grow is to be excellent, to be excellent is to be heaven. Heaven is almost above; earth is almost below. Follow the will and you will live; go against the will and you will die."

Suddenly I felt a breath on one side.

The young Taoist stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a familiar sign - Nothing works.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going on both sides, but this place was quiet. The sloppy fortune teller looked at Qi Wuhuo with a little surprise in his eyes, and Qi Wuhuo was the same. The young Taoist put away the manuscript, smoothed out the wrinkles on it due to flipping through the pages, put the volume into his sleeve, and then bowed slightly and said, "Hello again, sir."

The fortune teller said, "You shouldn't have come."

His eyebrows furrowed. "Don't you know that running around can easily lead to trouble?"

He spoke in a rather rude tone.

But it's well-intentioned.

Qi Wuhuo understood the meaning of this sentence and asked, "Is it because of the rain?"

The fortune teller said impatiently, "You already know this, but you're still asking me?!"

"Why are the young 'guys' nowadays getting more and more aggressive than the last?! They are fools who don't know their place!"

This sentence was not said by Qi Wuhuo, but the young Taoist also saw that this lazy and sloppy fortune teller was a little annoyed. After thinking for a while, he said: "Sir, what did you calculate at that time? Did you directly tell the amount of rain that would fall?"

The fortune teller shook his head and said, "I calculated the rainfall, but I didn't bet with him at all."

"Just tell him that this rain is different from the past. In the past, it didn't matter if it rained more or less. The world is so big that we don't even know how many countries there are. Even if you are in the most central country in the world, the people above won't care too much about a rain in a country or a county, and won't be so harsh. But this time is different."

“This time is definitely different.”

"I say he'd better keep raining."

"If you want to make a bet, we'll talk about it next time."

"It seems that he still didn't listen to the advice."

Then he sneered and said, "Forget it, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."

“Good death!”

"But I'm surprised that you're here."

The fortune teller looked at Qi Wuhuo with a pair of gray eyes and said, "After all, it was me who was supposed to play the game of chess with that old guy today. You actually played the game that I was supposed to play, and even used the chess record that was supposed to be played by me."

"This is unexpected and very curious."

The young Taoist was stunned, and then realized something.

His attainments in playing chess can only be described as average. The reason why he can play chess with the old man who has studied Go for a long time and always make the old man ponder is because he once saw the method to break this ancient fragment in a dream. Now it seems that this ancient fragment should have been solved by the fortune teller in front of him and Mr. Ao Liu playing chess together.

The dream and the real world seemed to be subtly intertwined again, causing ripples in the young Taoist's heart.

The fortune teller shook his head and said, "But you showed the chess game to that guy after all. Since the chess game has been played, it doesn't matter whether you do it or I do it. But I'm giving you a piece of advice. During this period of time, try to avoid coming to this city as much as possible."

"There's a bald donkey here."

The young Taoist was stunned for a moment before he realized that this sentence was a paraphrase of the meaning of "haunted".

Visible complaints.

It can be seen that the fortune teller in front of him not only hates people with small ox noses like him, but also hates big monks.

The fortune teller waved his hand, signaling Qi Wuhuo to go home. He then stood up slowly and said, "Go home and sleep, little guy. I'm going to Pingkangfang today to listen to the music of my beloved lady. I won't keep you here to chat. Besides, the evening drum will be struck soon. If you haven't left the house after three hundred beats, you will be breaking the curfew. Be careful of getting a beating."

Qi Wuhuo understood what the fortune teller meant, stood up and said goodbye, thought for a moment, and said:

"What will happen to the water god who made the wrong rain?"

The fortune teller asked, "What will happen?"

"I don't know either."

He raised his head and looked at the sky, saying, "Now, the young water god should have been feeling uneasy for a few days, thinking that my warning was just a pretense, so he invited his friends to come to the water god's mansion, making fun of me while drinking and having fun day and night. But the insects in the mountains will know that if thunder is going to strike, it should be silent at the beginning."

"Ordinary people only feel that everything is peaceful, but those who observe the celestial phenomena know the oppressive terror."

"Right now, the many Thunder Generals in the Thunder Palace are just perfecting the formations in various places, using thunder and lightning to crush the scattered evil spirits."

"At the same time, we are checking the formation for problems and confirming the consequences of the escape of evil energy."

"And the severity of the consequences will determine the fate of the Water God. If there is only a flaw in the formation, the evil energy may have leaked out, but it has not led to the proliferation of demons and has not caused suffering to all living beings. In that case, there is still a little room for maneuver. But if the evil energy leaks out..."

He had packed up his things and wrapped the paper, pen, paperweight and other things on the table with a flag with the words "no clue". The fortune teller tucked under his arm paused and said, "Let him fend for himself. I'm too lazy to report it to the heavens. But in the end, the heavens may have already figured out who did it. Why would they need a fortune teller like me to tell them?"

"If the generals of the Lei Mansion come forward, there might be a little room for maneuver."

"But if the one who came was the [North Pole Exorcism House]..."

Qi Wuhuo asked: "[North Pole Exorcism House]?"

He remembered that his teacher also mentioned this name.

The fortune teller looked at him, frowned, and said, "How come you don't know anything? What did your teacher teach you?!"

"Shepherd?"

"What an old man! I've never seen anyone so irresponsible!"

He was a little irritable, as if he was in a hurry, but he finally said patiently:

"Listen carefully, I'll make it short. There are various departments in heaven, and the most capable one is the Thunder Department. They call themselves [each department has its own fierce generals and soldiers, commanding the four courts, with great power and might, how can they be compared to the soldiers of other departments], and although they are good at fighting, they are also stubborn and very arrogant."

"The second is the Dou Department, where the Dou Department means [the stars in the sky], and the Dou has gods, the Fu has a hub, and the hub has an official. Therefore, the Shangqing Yushuyuan is also called the Doushuyuan, which is where the Dou Department is located; and the one who is in charge of both the Dou Department and the Lei Department is called the Great Emperor of the North Pole Zhongtian Ziwei."

"Command all the stars and control the five thunders."

"He is the leader of the Four Imperial Guardians."

Qi Wuhuo asked: "Does the Arctic Exorcism Institute belong to the Dou Department?"

The fortune teller sneered and said:

"You are right in guessing that the North Pole is indeed a star, but you also have to look at what the North Pole represents."

"The North Pole is the Purple Star."

"[North Pole Exorcism Institute] is only responsible to the North Emperor, who is in charge of the two divisions of the Heavenly Court and the Battle Division among the Four Imperial Guards."

"Pay attention, you are directly responsible, and there is no need to report to the other gods and immortals, because the head of the North Pole Exorcism Institute is the North Emperor himself, and his duty is to monitor the ghosts and gods of the world. If the gods do not perform their duties, they are evil. The evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to report to the Jade Emperor. You can kill them on the spot."

"The so-called Beiji Exorcism Court is the [office for the three realms to inspect and control all evil], and those who practice its law are responsible for reporting to the emperor and sending documents to the people, saving lives, exterminating monsters, investigating and curing ghosts, and eliminating evil spirits. This is their duty, and killing is the most serious."

"If you encounter a demon, [kill it, don't save it]!"

“The name of the Lord of Death in the North comes from this.”

"If we reach the stage of [North Pole Exorcism Institute]..."

"Hey, even the Three Pure Ones can't help."

"Three Pure Ones, Four Imperial Guardians, Five Directions."

"With irrefutable evidence, the Northern Emperor, the leader of the Four Imperial Gods, will not give those three face. Even if the Twelve Jade Saints really violated the ban, they will have to be executed in the Exorcist Court. The Northern Saints are all gods of war in the sky. They are both gods of heaven and members of the Thunder Department. Their might in battle is truly terrifying."

The fortune teller paused.

He looked at the young Taoist in front of him and had no interest in his master or origin.

One's own spirit seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune.

I don't have the slightest desire to go and see it.

He wasn't even curious about why he didn't want to check the boy's background.

He just shook his head and said, "Little guy, listen to my advice and stay at home. Now we are just waiting for the gods in the Thunder Mansion to finish repairing the formation and then assess the losses. We can only hope that this matter will end at this step in the Thunder Mansion and have an ending..."

"Don't alarm those murderers from the Arctic Exorcism Institute."

The young Taoist thanked him: "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

The fortune teller shook his head, not caring at all, and said casually: "Just consider it as a thank you gift for helping me play this game of chess."

He turned around and strolled away. Suddenly, the young Taoist saw a monk in gray clothes appear.

The monk glanced at Qi Wuhuo and just nodded gently in greeting.

Then it passed by like the wind.

He went straight after the fortune teller, but the fortune teller walked slowly and just before the monk into Pingkangfang. Pingkangfang was the most prosperous area in the whole city. Every night, there were singing and dancing in the brothels. Although there was a curfew, it was mainly aimed at the main roads, and the scenery inside Pingkangfang was not regulated.

There were sounds of laughter, singing and dancing inside. The lazy fortune teller entered the brothel and turned to the monk and said, "You are still late today."

The monk shook his head and did not get angry.

Just sit in front of this brothel full of singing and dancing, meditate quietly and wait.

Seems quite persistent.

Noticing the young Taoist's gaze, he turned around and bowed with a slight smile.
