Chapter 316: Debate on Fate
Song Yiren looked at the fortune-teller who suddenly fell silent, and asked curiously: "Why don't you say anything? Can I cultivate to the sixth level?"
Becoming a Grandmaster was not a difficult task for her.
She had touched that barrier.
But she was not sure about the sixth realm. To enter the sixth realm, talent, understanding and opportunity were all indispensable.
The opportunity that cannot be seen or touched is the most important one.
The fortune teller gradually came to his senses.
At his level, being unable to predict the outcome is actually a certainty.
No matter whether the end point of her cultivation path is the Grandmaster or the Semi-Saint of the Sixth Realm, it is all within the scope of Yin-Yang Magic. Only the result of the Seventh Realm cannot be predicted with his current cultivation level.
The meaning behind this is naturally self-evident.
Not only is that kid weird, the people around him are also abnormal...
He returned half of the silver to Song Yiren and said, "Sorry, I won't count it..."
After saying that, he packed up his fortune-telling stall and left with the girl.
Song Yiren watched the grandfather and grandson leave and did not stop them.
This old man was able to guess the three questions she wanted to ask in succession. Obviously he had some real skills. At least he was not a charlatan like last time.
If he really is a powerful Yin-Yang master, doesn't that mean she can be promoted to a Grandmaster within a year?
And getting married...
She suddenly remembered that there was an important question she hadn't asked yet, so she quickly chased after him and said loudly, "Old man, wait a minute, can you help me figure out who my husband is..."
However, when she chased around a street corner, she found that the grandfather and grandson had disappeared.
She had no choice but to walk towards the academy in disappointment.
Although she has always been firm in her original choice, she would feel more at ease if she could hear a definite result.
At this moment, on another street in the capital of Zhao State, the girl looked up and asked, "Grandpa, are we leaving here?"
The old man did not answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry. Grandpa has to go see an old friend first..."
…
After finishing his class at Wansong Academy, Li Nuo heard Yiren talk about something when he was walking home with her.
He looked at Yiren in surprise and asked, "Can you break through this year?"
Song Yiren nodded and said, "That's what the old man said."
Li Nuo asked again: "Did you tell her about your cultivation?"
Song Yiren shook her head and said, "No, I didn't even tell him what I wanted to calculate, but he knew I wanted to calculate something related to cultivation."
Li Nuo paused, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He knows the tricks of those charlatans.
When you meet a young girl who comes to you for fortune-telling, most of the time she is asking about her marriage.
If it is a young couple, they are most likely asking about offspring.
As long as you can go along with them and say some auspicious words about you will soon meet your true love or have a child, it is easy to cheat them out of some money.
But without her saying anything, she knew that Yiren was asking about her cultivation level, and she could tell her cultivation level at a glance. She was afraid that she had met a real Yin-Yang master.
He is a Yin-Yang master of a high level.
With Li Nuo's dedicated teaching and her own hard practice, Yiren has mastered all kinds of sword techniques. Her skills have increased rapidly and she has touched the barrier of a grandmaster. If she is lucky, it is not impossible for her to be promoted within a year.
Li Nuo asked: "Where is that old man now?"
Song Yiren shook her head and said, "After he told me my fortune, he left..."
After careful inquiries, Li Nuo learned that there was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old beside the old man.
Isn’t that the Yin-Yang master he met in Daxia?
Speaking of which, Li Nuo has to thank him very much.
If he had not successfully predicted Jia Ren's pregnancy, making Jia Ren and An Ning believe it without a doubt, and then believe his prediction that Li Nuo would have several more marriages, he and Yi Ren would not have been able to appear on the streets of Zhao holding hands like they are now.
Li Nuo did not go looking for him.
According to the Yin-Yang School, everything is destined.
If two people are destined to be together, they will meet sooner or later.
But if there is no destiny, you can’t force it.
Li Nuo looked at Yiren and asked, "What else did you ask him?"
Based on his understanding of Yiren, she would definitely not care about just one thing.
Song Yiren lowered her head and said, "No, he just calculated when I would break through, and then left..."
Then, she raised her head again and asked, "Can I really break through to Grandmaster level this year?"
Li Nuo encouraged her, "Don't worry, since he said so, it means that it is your destiny to break through this year."
"It's fate..."
A smile appeared on Song Yiren's face. If breaking through to the Grandmaster level this year was destined, then getting married this year was also destined.
She decided to work harder on her cultivation and break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible, so that she could verify whether what he calculated was true.
However, she then thought of something else and asked Li Nuo curiously, "If I stop practicing from now on, can I still break through to the Grandmaster level?"
Li Nuo shook his head and said, "Everything depends on human effort. Even if it is destined, your cultivation level will not increase out of thin air if you give up on it."
Many people have indeed been curious about this question.
But our predecessors have already verified that fate is not fixed.
Yin-Yang School is the key to influencing destiny.
If a person is destined to die at the age of eighty, under normal circumstances, he can live to be eighty years old.
But if the Yin-Yang Master told him his fate and he committed suicide in advance, he would not be able to come back to life. Or if others learned of his lifespan and deliberately sent someone to assassinate him, his fate would end early.
Hence the saying that "the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed".
Once fate is leaked in advance, it is likely to be changed by external intervention.
Of course, there are also Yin-Yang scholars who believe that fate cannot be changed.
All actions that change destiny are within destiny.
However, these are not questions that Li Nuo can explain. Throughout the ages, countless great Yin-Yang masters have debated for hundreds of years, driving countless people crazy, but no one has given an answer that convinces everyone.
Just as Li Nuo and Yiren were walking back to the embassy hand in hand, an old man and a young man were walking slowly on another street.
Another sneaky figure followed behind them.
This sturdy man has been following the grandfather and grandson for a long time.
It was obvious that the two were from other places. The old man had a broken leg and could be sent to beg, and the girl was pretty and looked like a virgin, so she should be able to be sold for a good price.
He was thinking this in his mind as he kept getting closer to the two of them.
But as he walked, he suddenly felt his steps becoming heavier.
For some reason, his back and waist began to hurt, and he couldn't see clearly nearby. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
A passerby quickly helped him up and said, "Old man, are you okay?"
"Old man?"
When he heard what the passerby said, he was furious. He grabbed the passerby by the collar and said unhappily: "Open your dog eyes and see, I don't look like an old man at all..."
Before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly.
He looked at his hands, which were as dry as tree bark, and his expression was stunned.
His hands, why did his hands become like this?
The passerby was scolded for helping someone out of kindness. Seeing that he still dared to be so presumptuous, he gently pushed the disrespectful old man to the ground, spat at him, and strode away.
The old man fell to the ground, looked at his skinny hands, and touched his wrinkled face. He didn't know why he had become like this. He was filled with fear, and his eyes went dark, and he fainted...
At this time, the grandfather and grandson had already arrived in front of a mansion.
A middle-aged man had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time.
He bowed to the grandfather and grandson and said, "Please come in, distinguished guests."
The old man was not surprised at all. He followed the middle-aged man into the mansion, passed through several doors, and entered a courtyard.
A skinny old man was lying on a rocking chair in the yard.
He looked haggard, with sparse hair and his face covered with wrinkles. He lay there motionless, and only the slight rise and fall of his chest at long intervals proved that he was still alive.
Opposite the rocking chair, there is a chair.
The fortune-teller walked over, sat on the chair, looked at the skinny old man opposite him, and said, "Old man, you are not dead yet?"
The skinny old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "It's not certain who will die first between us."
The fortune-teller said, "Instead of being a good Yin-Yang master, you insist on becoming a national master. You have revealed too many secrets. If you don't die first, who will die first?"
The skinny old man showed a trace of mockery on his face and said, "As a Yin-Yang master, you dare not count this or that. What kind of Yin-Yang master are you? You'd better change your career as soon as possible..."
The two exchanged some sarcastic remarks, but neither gained any advantage.
Knowing that arguing would not lead to any result, the fortune-teller waved his hand and said, "I will not argue with you. This time, besides coming to see you for the last time, I also have a question for you. At this point, do you still think that fate is unchangeable?"
The skinny old man looked exhausted, but his eyes were still clear. He said slowly: "Beyond fate, there is still fate..."
The two had different ideas and had been arguing for a lifetime. The fortune teller did not want to argue with him anymore and sneered: "Okay, okay, I hope you can still have this confidence when you meet that person..."
