Chapter 404: Fate
Above the desert Gobi, the wind on the rising majestic mountains was cold and fast, and the clouds that formed a furnace between heaven and earth suddenly dissipated the moment Wen Zhengming left.
Endless clouds gathered into the sky, accompanied by deafening thunder. From time to time, lightning would paint the clouds into a cold, icy color.
As the clouds gradually thinned, the scorching sunlight refracted on the clouds, stirring up thousands of feet of golden light and illuminating the entire mountain range more brightly and clearly.
It deserves to be called a wonder of the world.
Su Xi slowly stood up and looked at this astonishing scene.
The heaven and earth turned into strange visions, held in the palm of your hand. The more Su Xi looked, the more he felt that the mystery of it was beyond his imagination.
This is the true method of immortals, a magical power that is beyond the comprehension of the world.
Thinking deeply, Su Xi was more and more impressed by the extraordinary world of the extraordinary people.
At this time, the clouds and mist rolled, the sky and the earth changed, and the cold mist fell, waking Su Xi up.
He looked back suddenly, only to see that the sky had turned azure blue and the sky was clear.
The gentleman had disappeared from sight.
Su Xi sighed softly: "Sir, you are much more free and easy than me."
Huang Shiren and the other two also came back to their senses. Huang Shiren looked at Su Xi with envy and other expressions in his eyes. In short, it was extremely complicated.
Famous families all over the world asked their disciples to come down the mountain. Why? It was to give the disciples a chance to meet the number one man in the world. Even if they could just get some guidance, it would be worth it.
But the young man in front of him was fortunate enough to have the alchemist open the path to becoming an extraordinary person for him. How could one not envy him?
Especially there were six pills in total. According to rumors, this pill appeared once at an auction of extraordinary people. At that time, countless extraordinary people competed for it, and finally the pill was sold at a sky-high price.
Compared with the secret book he had just obtained from the underground palace, it was a priceless treasure.
However, although Huang Shiren and others were envious, they did not dare to have any other thoughts.
According to legend, immortals who have truly reached the level of Pure Yang are said to be able to clearly perceive things related to them.
If something unexpected happens in matters related to them, the immortals will be able to sense it.
No matter how brave Huang Shiren was, he would not dare to provoke the number one man in the world.
You have to know that he is the number one person in the world, a terrifying existence who was able to pin the Emperor of Heaven eight hundred years ago to the ground and beat him.
How could Huang Shiren afford to offend such a person?
Even the leaders of famous families might not allow such a person to see them.
Moreover, living in the world of extraordinary people, Huang Shiren naturally knows that for the mortal world, death is the end of life, and after death one will return to the underworld.
But this is not the case for extraordinary people.
For extraordinary people, if they want to punish someone, they can really make that person never be reborn.
Huang Shiren had heard of methods such as skinning and pulling out tendons, and forever banishing the soul to a place of no return.
I've even seen a monk do it before.
It's really like being unable to live or die.
"I didn't expect that Brother Su would have such an opportunity."
Huang Shiren slowly restrained his complicated look and said slowly:
"I don't know how many people want to get guidance from that person who came down the mountain. But if that person doesn't want to be found, then no one can find him."
"I didn't expect Brother Su to meet him. This is the greatest opportunity in the world of extraordinary people."
Su Xi shook his head and said, "I never thought it would be that person."
“Even when I think about it now, it still feels a little unreal.”
Su Xi did not lie. He really did not expect that the gentleman was actually the number one person in the world.
Huang Shiren smiled and said, "Perhaps this is fate!"
"It was a Taoist priest who led me into the world of the extraordinary. He once said that everything between heaven and earth is determined by fate. The fate of most people is predetermined, and even if one wants to change it, it may not be able to change much."
At this point, Huang Shiren suddenly sighed and said, "So he said that he finally accepted his fate. He finally accepted me as his disciple and then passed away."
"Before he left, his last words were about the unpredictability of life and destiny, saying that fate was truly a cruel thing. After that, he died."
"It's a bit sad to say that he was also an old man eight hundred years ago, but he ultimately failed to achieve immortality and died in the home of a down-and-out middle-aged man like me."
Huang Shiren said with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "I still remember when he saw me, he said, 'A down-and-out Taoist priest and a down-and-out middle-aged man should be master and disciple.'"
"Things in the world are impermanent, things in the world are impermanent, maybe this is the world!"
Huang Shiren seemed to sense that something was wrong with his expression, and immediately took the initiative to change the subject, saying:
"But my old master might really know some secrets of heaven. He also left behind a volume of the Book of Changes, but I can't understand it at all."
As he spoke, Huang Shiren took out a yellowed book from the backpack behind him. The book had an indescribable ancient atmosphere.
Huang Shiren looked at the scroll in his hand, then looked at Su Xi and said:
"Speaking of it today, it can be considered as fate. My old master once said that if I feel that the fate has come, I can pass on this volume of the Book of Changes."
At this point Huang Shiren smiled and said with a sneer:
"At the time, I just thought the old man was crazy. How could I pass on this heavenly book? Even if I let this book be destroyed in my hands, I would never pass it on. But... now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that fate has arrived."
Huang Shiren looked at Su Xi and said loudly: "I, Huang Shiren, think that you will eventually become a real figure in the world of extraordinary people. Consider it my bet today!"
"this……"
Su Xi suddenly didn't know what to say.
Seeing Huang Shiren speak so frankly, Su Xi felt it difficult to refuse.
Huang Shiren looked at Su Xi and smiled, then stuffed the scroll into Su Xi's arms and said, "Just take it. The old master always said that all this is fate, but I didn't believe it at all before."
"It's funny to say that. Although I'm a middle-aged man, I used to think that this statement lacked some sharpness, so I didn't want to believe it. I always felt that the saying 'my fate is determined by myself, not by God' was more in line with the style of some extraordinary people."
When Huang Shiren said this, he raised his head and laughed, then said: "But... now, I think maybe it is true. Fate may really be destined for most people."
Huang Shiren looked at the yellowed book and said slowly: "So this thing may really be meant for you. If you don't want it, then I can only throw it away. After all, it is of no use to me."
Su Xi sighed and said, "Then I'll take it."
Su Xi also understood that if he refused again at this point, it would be ungrateful.
Huang Shiren smiled and said, "See if you can understand it. No matter how I look at it, I can't see the mystery in it. If the old man hadn't said it was a divine book, I would have thrown it away long ago."
"Before he passed away, the old man emphasized to me that the most profound thing he had learned was this heavenly book. However, even he could only calculate some small things and had no idea of the secrets."
"Maybe you can cultivate something mysterious from it."
Huang Shiren spoke so mysteriously that Li Xiao and Wang Cheng also looked over. It was also the first time they heard that Huang Shiren actually had a heavenly book in his hand.
Under the gaze of the three people, Su Xi slowly opened the yellowed book.
The words on the scroll seemed to come alive in an instant and began to flow within the yellowed scroll.
It was like countless tadpoles swimming in the book, and golden light was overflowing from the book.
The yellow book slowly faded away like rust at this moment.
In just a few moments, the entire scroll turned completely golden.
Huang Shiren looked at this mysterious scene and murmured to himself:
"Is there really such a thing as fate?"
If it weren't for the law of fate, it would be impossible to explain why the scroll didn't show any strange signs in my hands, but when it fell into the hands of Brother Su, strange signs appeared on the scroll.
Maybe it's just that I just don't have this kind of fate!
Thinking of this, Huang Shiren couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The golden light became stronger and stronger, but there was no tingling sensation at all.
Soon the scroll turned completely golden, and the tadpole-shaped characters on it completely disappeared.
The golden light disappeared completely in the next instant, and the book also disappeared.
Su Xi had nothing in his hands.
"This is?"
Huang Shiren was stunned. How could it disappear?
Su Xi understood a little bit, and he said slowly: "Although... I don't know what the situation is, but if the book is correct, it seems to be in my mind."
Huang Shiren was stunned for a moment, and said, "It really is fate."
Su Xi cupped his hands and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank Brother Huang."
Huang Shiren shook his head and said with a smile: "You're welcome. If Brother Su becomes a big figure in the world of extraordinary people one day, just don't forget me."
"I will definitely not forget it."
Huang Shiren gradually came back to his senses. He looked at Su Xi and said, "Brother Su, can you tell me about this heavenly book?"
"I'm just a little curious, what on earth is this thing, and why I couldn't understand it at all before."
Su Xi frowned when he heard this, as if he didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"This is time, um... the past and the future, endless changes."
At this point, Su Xi seemed to feel that what he said was a bit too mysterious. He spread his hands and said helplessly:
"I don't know how to explain it. It just exists like that in my eyes."
Huang Shiren frowned when he heard this. He glanced at Su Xi and sighed, "Oh, forget it. No need to explain."
"The old man said before that this thing exists, but if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, and explanation is useless."
"Now I understand a little bit what he meant."
"It seems that fate is not there after all."
………
The moment the clouds and mist dissipated, the dark and obscure secret of heaven suddenly appeared.
All the people in the world who have entered the realm of immortals above the Pure Yang can feel the clear secret of heaven.
In the distance, in the quiet temple, the monk in black slowly raised his head and glanced into the distance.
"Is that the one who is refining the elixir?"
"It seems that this cultivation level is also above that of a Heavenly Venerate. I always thought that his cultivation level should not have reached that of a Heavenly Venerate, but I was wrong."
………
On the other side, Tushan Hongyu also felt the hidden secret at this time. She raised her swan neck and said to herself:
"Is that the Tianzun who blocked me from entering the Ming Dynasty before?"
"Does he have such a deep understanding of the Dao of Alchemy?"
………
As for those extraordinary people who have not yet truly entered the realm of pure yang, they found that the ever-changing direction has become fixed.
Even if no one explained it, they had already guessed that the hidden secret had been revealed.
Countless extraordinary people either fly in the air with swords or soar in the sky.
Countless extraordinary beings flew across the sky, creating huge cracks in the sky that was originally covered with clouds.
Above the earth, countless mortals could look up and see the extraordinary being riding away on a sword.
They speculated that something big might have happened in the distance. After all, whenever extraordinary people appeared in large numbers in the past few years, something big must have happened.
In the vast Gobi Desert in the northwest, before Su Xi and others left, one figure after another had appeared in front of them. Some of them were wearing Taoist robes, some were wearing monk's robes, and they also had the spirit of scholars who inherited their family tradition of poetry and books.
As soon as everyone appeared, they saw the scene of the raised majestic mountain range being divided into yin and yang. Half of the mountain range seemed to have been burned by a terrifying heat wave. The entire mountain range had melted into magma, and some places even exposed melted crystals.
The other half of the mountain range was covered in ice, and the huge rocks that had been there for who knows how many years were cracked by the bone-chilling cold.
The mountains on both sides of Yin and Yang each stretch for dozens of miles. One can tell at a glance that this must have been the place where the secret was hidden.
I just don’t know what happened to leave such horrific traces.
Thinking of this, the extraordinary person who rushed over couldn't help but look at Su Xi and the other four on the top of the mountain.
After all, standing at the center of the intersection of yin and yang, he doesn't look like he is unaware of it.
Mosca was also among these extraordinary people. He slowly landed on the top of the mountain, glanced at Su Xi and others and said:
"What just happened?"
"The number one person in the world who just came down from Mount Zhongnan was refining the elixir here, so he left these strange phenomena behind."
Huang Shiren took the initiative to speak, for he was afraid that Su Xi might say something wrong. After all, this brother Su was entering the world of extraordinary people for the first time.
In this world, newcomers like Su Xi still need to rely on others to survive.
After all, since that person has already refined the elixir for him, he obviously doesn't mind letting him borrow his reputation.
"Alchemy?"
Mosca frowned, looked at a few people and said, "Is it really that person?"
